Attention those pursuing you.

"Do you think they have crossed the river?" Hu Bazhi asked loudly.

“Probably not yet”

Wei Ran, who was almost flat against the horse's back, replied loudly, "It shouldn't be that fast."

"I don't know if there will be any difficulties on the riverside."

Hu Bazhi muttered something vaguely while driving the big white mule to run faster.

"Where are we going?" Wei Ran asked.

"Run further in!"

Hu Bazhi raised his head and glanced at the mule in front of him, which was attracting firepower. "We have to make the mule run faster! We can't let the Japanese find out it's fake!"

"It's okay to let the Japanese run slower!"

As Wei Ran spoke, he had already taken out a Soviet lemon grenade from his bag that was filled with the stench of corpse and burnt odor. He had personally taken this grenade from Cui Bearded's body not long ago.

At this time, the grenade was still tightly wrapped with several coils of cloth soaked in kerosene, and an additional thick hemp rope more than one meter long was tied to the end of the cloth.

After pulling out the safety pin and laboriously lighting the cloth strip tied to the grenade, Wei Ran glanced at the direction of the pursuers behind him, swung the hemp rope vigorously, and threw the grenade behind him.

In the pitch-black night, the flaming grenade was like a conspicuous meteor, flying back in a parabola for a distance, and then hooked on the branches of a pine tree, turning into an increasingly conspicuous mass.

fireball.

Almost subconsciously, sharp-eyed Japs rode up to them. However, just for a moment, as the grenade burned, the cloth strips wrapped around it disintegrated one after another, the safety grip flicked away smoothly, and the oval-shaped projectile body

Braving the green smoke that was difficult to detect in the wind and snow, it bumped against the tree trunks and branches and continued to fall, finally hitting the thick snow.

"boom!"

Almost at the same time as the grenade exploded, two Japanese cavalrymen and a military dog ​​that had just secretly picked up a few meat bumps ran into the best killing range!

In the dull explosion, not even the humans, horses, and dogs were spared. Their whole bodies turned into smelly fuel, dyeing the surrounding snowflakes and the snow on the ground red.

This sudden explosion undoubtedly caused the people chasing behind to subconsciously slow down a little bit, and subconsciously avoid the fireballs thrown out by the people in front.

However, until those fireballs were extinguished one after another, there was no explosion again!

When they realized they were being tricked, Wei Ran, Hu Bazhi, and even the mules they were driving had already run further. Except for the faint light of the fire, it was almost difficult for the Japanese behind them to see their outlines in the wind and snow.

.

"We should separate from the mules! The Japanese must have started outflanking us!"

"Let's run to the west!"

Before Hu Bazhi finished speaking, he had already raised his riding whip and whipped the last mule carrying the straw man hard on the buttocks.

When the mule subconsciously speeded up, the two of them pulled the reins and left the mule team, diagonally into the forest, and ran towards the west.

At the same time, the pursuers behind them gradually discovered that the military dogs they brought to search for the target were whimpering shrilly. Some of them had begun to roll on the ground, and some even began to bite the surrounding horse hooves crazily.

Son.

In this little chaos, Wei Ran also got off his horse, took out the last two grenades as quickly as possible, and pulled two trip mines that were only less than 20 centimeters higher than the snow.

Getting on their horses again, the two of them sped up and started running westward at the risk of their lives. However, not to mention Wei Ran didn't know what was in the west, even Hu Bazhi, who was here for the first time, didn't know.

They didn't even know that Zhao Jinyu and others had already run to the river under their cover, and ran to Maozi's territory on the frozen river covered with snow.

"Captain Zhao and Zhao Jinshan actually cannot trust Shopkeeper Yang!"

When we reached the center of the river, Unakan suddenly said loudly.

"Is now the time to talk about this?" Zhao Jinyu shouted in response.

"Especially after what happened to the bearded uncle, Captain Zhao may not trust Shopkeeper Yang even more!"

Unakan, however, remained unmoved and continued to speak loudly, "Brother Jinyu! You have to find Captain Zhao to explain the situation clearly and prove Shopkeeper Yang's innocence! You also have to save Shopkeeper Yang!"

"What are you going to do!" Zhao Jinyu shouted when he realized something was wrong.

"After crossing the river, run east!"

Unakan pointed in the direction with the riding crop in his hand, "Remember to light a fire! I'll save those two mallets! You go and save Shopkeeper Yang!"

After saying that, Unakan suddenly turned his horse's head and started running back without waiting for Zhao Jinyu to respond!

"Come back! Come back to me!" Zhao Jinyu roared, "I order you to come back!"

"drive!"

Unakan was unmoved. Instead, he whipped the horse's butt hard and disappeared into the windy and snowy night in the blink of an eye.

In the frozen heart of the river, Zhao Jinyu, who was riding on horseback, looked desperately at the direction where Unakan disappeared, then lowered his head and looked at Boss Qiu in front of him, who seemed to be about to fall into coma due to excessive blood loss, and even stopped a step too late in front of him.

Xiaosier and Yongwu came down.

"Brother Zhao, what...what should we do?" Yongwu asked hesitantly.

"Run! Run! Let's cross the river!" Zhao Jinyu gritted his teeth and issued the order, shouting at the horses to start running again.

On the south bank of the river, in the primeval forest not far from the river bank, Wei Ran and Hu Bazhi ran faster and faster as two grenade explosions came from behind.

After the two of them rode their horses over a mountain ridge, Hu Bazhi turned the horse's head again and ran towards the southwest again.

At this time, the sky had gradually become brighter, and even the wind and snow were weakening. This was not a good thing, on the contrary, it would undoubtedly make it easier for the pursuers behind them to spot them.

"Brother Wei, I'm afraid we have to put down the animals to survive!" Hu Bazhi said suddenly.

"Where to hide?" Wei Ran asked simply.

"on the tree"

Hu Ba pointed to the top of his head, "Find a tree, step on the animals to hide in, and let the animals continue to run."

"The Japanese have dogs with them," Wei Ran reminded.

“Don’t be afraid”

Hu Bazhi said confidently, "The meat lumps I spread were mixed with Chun Gou'er's urine. Even if the Japs' wolf dogs didn't eat them, they would have to lick them twice. If they just ran all the way, they must have been poisoned to death."

"If we can't escape, neither of us will survive." Wei Ran reminded.

"Take a chance!"

Hu Bazhi said and took a breath, "I...I was shot."

"What did you say!"

Wei Ran's heart sank, and he quickly moved closer, "Where are you injured?"

"thigh"

Hu Bazhi gritted his teeth and replied, "Hurry up and hide in the tree, I..."

"Don't you fart!"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he pulled the reins of the big white mule that the other party was riding to stop. After touching behind him, the second lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. The bullet grazed Hu Bazhi's thigh close to his hip bone.

Although the bullet opened a bloody groove in his leg, the amount of bleeding showed that it did not damage the bones or blood vessels.

"Can't die"

Wei Ran looked around, pointed to a tall pine tree in the distance and said, "I'll send you up, you hide inside, bandage yourself and then climb up to the top of the tree, always watching for fire on the other side of the river.

"

"What about you?" Hu Bazhi asked.

"If the devil wants to catch me, he still needs to practice."

Wei Ran replied confidently, "I will lead them far away and hide them, but you must hide them well. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to the others."

"Okay" Hu Bazhi responded after a moment of silence.

"Listen"

Wei Ran, who was riding on horseback, pulled the reins of the big white mule and continued running towards the pine tree in front of him, reminding him, "If you dare to do something stupid, I will find the Japanese to surrender."

"you..."

"When the time comes, I will take the Japanese to kill Zhao Jinyu and the others."

Wei Ran reminded him very seriously, "So you hide it for me and don't make any sound. I'll come back to pick you up after I lure the Japs away."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this point, Wei Ran led the mule to the pine tree he was interested in and stopped, "Can you go up by yourself?"

"able"

Hu Bazhi glanced at Wei Ran, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, stood on the big white mule with difficulty, held on to the trunk of the tree, grabbed the branch, and climbed up little by little.

Waiting until the opponent was hidden in the tree canopy, Wei Ran pulled out his carbine, turned the butt of his rifle and hit the tree trunk hard.

With a soft "dong" sound, the snow on the tree crown rustled down, easily burying the redundant horse hoof prints and sporadic blood stains under the tree.

"drive!"

Wei Ran shook the reins vigorously, yelling at the biting horse and the big white mule he was holding the reins to run again.
