Under the rain that never stopped, a little smoke was rising from the cabin door of the Japanese bomber that had just crashed.

Inside the cabin, after a whole night of baking, all the clothes that everyone had put up on bamboo poles had been dried by the bonfire, and also dried together were four large bundles of firewood that they had picked up in the rain.

After a morning's rest, everyone not only drank enough tea, but also filled their own kettles with boiling water, and also got some extra sleep.

At the nose of the bomber, Squad Leader Liang, who insisted on being on guard, waited for everyone to fall asleep, carefully removed a bullet from his box gun, and then used the pliers found in the cabin to unscrew the brass bullet bit by bit.

Empty the gunpowder inside again.

Looking up at Wei Ran and others, he carefully opened the German lunch box, turned the account book to the last page, dipped a brush in ink and wrote a line of writing. When the ink dried, he immediately tore it off and rolled it into a roll.

The bullet casing was then coated with paint and the bullet tip was carefully stuffed back.

After a moment's hesitation, Squad Leader Liang took out the double-ended oil can from his pocket, unscrewed it, inserted the bullet into the oil can, and tightened the lid.

After packing the German lunch boxes, Squad Leader Liang rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the Japanese aviation watch that Tan Shouzheng had given him not long ago. Then he picked up the pliers and tapped the floor gently, "Wake up, we can't delay any longer. It's starting to rain.

It’s endless, we have to set off.”

"Shou Zheng, come here and help me."

Wei Ran opened his eyes and stretched, calling for help from Qin Shouzheng who was yawning. Together, they stuffed the firewood they had worked hard to dry into a one-piece flight suit that had been removed from the body in advance, and then

The outside was carefully wrapped with waterproof canvas.

While the two of them were busy, Zhou Guochang and the young monk also helped Squad Leader Liang wrap the backpacks filled with supplies in tarpaulins, and then cleaned up the two donkeys who were resting under the shadow of the wings to take shelter from the rain.

After feeding the locusts with some coarse salt, they hung up the bamboo basket.

"Squad leader, take these two with you too."

Wei Ran pointed to the two heavy canvas bags containing life rafts and asked, "This way if we encounter another place where we need to wade through water, we don't have to worry about drowning the things in the backpacks."

Hearing this, Squad Leader Liang looked at the two donkeys hesitantly and asked, "Shou Zheng, can you still pretend?"

"Take it with you"

Qin Shouzheng helped while fixing the one-piece flight suit with the firewood on the donkey's back, "We have thrown a lot of things along the way, and we have also eaten a lot of rice, so we can pack it down."

"Then take it with you."

Squad leader Liang finally agreed to Wei Ran's request and helped lift the two canvas bags onto the back of a donkey, and carefully fixed them with the work belts removed from the engine room.

Everything was ready. Everyone finally checked the weapons and waterproof raincoats in their hands. At Wei Ran's strong request, they each took some chill pills as a precaution. Then they put on their hats and lined up to leave the plane.

wreckage.

Following the marks left last night, they returned to the landing position. In just one night, the rising water had already eroded the suggested shacks they had seen left by their predecessors.

After a short pause, Wei Ran and Zhou Guochang, who were walking in front, accelerated their pace slightly by following the path opened by the large army, and continued on their way back along the river.

After walking all day, the heavy rain above them showed no sign of decreasing, and they also saw a large number of traces left by the expeditionary force along the way.

Small trees that had their bark stripped off, konjac that seemed to have been bitten, the skeletons of killed buffaloes or military horses, and even some people who were clearly wearing expeditionary uniforms and still holding weapons in their arms, but in this short time

A corpse that had turned into bones in just a few days.

What made them even more worried was that in the next few days, the heavy rain would occasionally stop for half a day at most, and then lightning and thunder would start again, but more and more bones of expeditionary soldiers were found along the way.

Most of the remains of these soldiers showed strange white bones. A few of the corpses exuded a strong corpse smell, and there were densely packed maggots that were constantly swarming, as well as unknown birds that pecked these maggots.

Even though Wei Ran and Zhou Guochang who were walking at the front couldn't bear it, they had to admit that most of the time, these bones had become the main signposts guiding them in the direction.

Correspondingly, Squad Leader Liang also stopped again and again, trembling and writing one blood-red Chinese character after another on the helmet.

On the other hand, along the way, it became increasingly difficult for them to find banana leaves to build shelters. Even if they could find banana trees or even banana forests, most of them had been chopped down without leaves. Even some palm trees had been chopped down and cut open.

The starch-containing tree cores were taken away. These all proved that serious problems had arisen in the food supply of the large troops in front.

In fact, it's not just them, Wei Ran and others have also finished the horse meat jerky, fish jerky and bear meat jerky they had reserved in the past few days. Even the rice they carried on their backs has been used up long ago, and now they can only

There was still the last bag of rice left on the donkey.

Except for Rice, everyone had to walk through mud and water in heavy rain for several days. Not only did their legs become swollen, but they also had to wear terrible trench feet. In addition, they were constantly falling from the tree crown above their heads. As long as they were hit,

Even the leech sucking blood desperately, the ulcers on their bodies are getting worse and worse.

In the heavy rain with his hat being smashed, Wei Ran looked at the green everywhere with a numb face. He mechanically wielded the machete to chop away the vines blocking the road, and then skillfully cut through the vines with the knife.

I pulled out a leech from the back of my hand and squeezed it hard.

He no longer remembers how many days it was after leaving the wreckage of the plane, but he clearly remembers that from that day on, they never found a dry environment where they could rest. Now it's not just them, but also the two

The donkey is already limping and can no longer bear it.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Over there, Wei Ran, look over there." Qin Shouzheng, who was walking in the second row, raised his hand and pointed to the hillside in front of him, "Is there anything there?

A cave?”

"Cave?"

Everyone looked up, and then they saw that there was indeed a dark cave entrance halfway up the mountain opposite them!

"Go there, go there and take a rest!" Squad Leader Liang said with force.

"Let's go" Wei Ran gritted his teeth, waved the machete again, and headed in the direction of the cave.

However, although the cave looked not far away, it was not easy to rush there. The first thing they had to do was to go down the mountain and pass through the valley between the two mountains, and then climb up again.

But because of the heavy rains for days, there was a raging river running across the valley.

Before everyone could go down the mountain, they heard the sound of rushing water, and then saw green-green bamboo poles as thick as their wrists hanging on the water less than half a meter high, which served as handrails.

Both sides of the bamboo poles were fixed on the towering trees on both sides of the river bank.

"I'll go there first!" Zhou Guochang said first.

"Be careful"

Wei Ran warned. Just looking at the turbid color of the river and the big tree that was washed down but still flourishing in the middle of the river, you can tell that this river is just a seasonal river in the rainy season. Although its flow rate is very fast,

But as long as you hold on to the bamboo pole firmly, there will be no danger.

The fact was exactly as he had guessed. Although this twenty-meter-wide river looked scary, its depth was only as deep as Zhou Guochang's waist.

When Zhou Guochang successfully landed ashore, everyone also carried bamboo baskets on their backs and each chose a bamboo pole to hold on to and prepared to cross the river.

Amid Zhou Guochang's encouragement, the young monk Wei Ran pushed the donkey ashore first, followed closely by Qin Shouzheng, who was holding the reins of another donkey in front, and Zhou Guochang held hands together.

However, just when he stepped on the stone on the shore with one leg, the donkey still in the water seemed to have been hit, and fell down with a miserable neighing, and by the way, a piece of water was exposed.

And the logs falling!

In just a moment, the donkey that was knocked down by the log overwhelmed Squad Leader Liang who was helping to hold the bamboo basket downstream. Immediately afterwards, the reins that were originally held tightly by Qin Shouzheng were also left in his palms.

After a scar, he completely let go!

"Monitor Liang!"

Everyone shouted in unison, but before any of them could rush over, the donkey and Squad Leader Liang had already disappeared behind the rushing water.

"I'll chase them, open the inflatable raft and throw it down. You guys wait in the cave!"

Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he had already thrown off the backpack on his shoulders and the bamboo hat on his head, and jumped into the yellow river!

"Wei Ran!"

Qin Shouzheng yelled and wanted to jump off, but Zhou Guochang pulled him back, "Don't be impulsive! Help open the inflatable raft!"

"well!"

Qin Shouzheng slapped his thigh hard, and hurriedly helped Qin Shouzheng and the young monk unload the inflatable raft from the donkey that Wei Ran insisted on carrying but never used a few days ago.

He hurriedly pulled the inflatable raft out. After some research, Zhou Guochang found the compressed gas bottle first and unscrewed the inflation valve as quickly as possible! In a few breaths, the inflation valve was enough to seat three people.

It was filled with energy.

"You wait in the cave for three days. If you don't come back after three days, you can keep going!"

Before Qin Shouzheng finished speaking, he had already taken off his backpack, threw it aside, pushed the inflatable raft into the river, and flipped in himself!

Zhou Guochang stared blankly at the raft drifting away, and then looked at the young monk Sehao next to him who also had an astonished look on his face. A look of panic gradually appeared on that young face.

At the same time, Wei Ran, who was the first to jump into the river, had already taken out the raft boat from the metal book. At this time, he was squatting on the boat, holding the paddle with both hands, and his eyes were staring at the ups and downs at the other end.

The donkey, and Squad Leader Liang who seemed to be hugging the donkey’s neck!

While he was waiting nervously and anxiously, the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, but the river turned into an elbow in front of him!

"Fuck you, uncle!"

Wei Ran let go of the oar with a curse, picked up the pole fixed to the side of the boat, and while clenching it with both hands, he also stuck the other end on the wooden rung that was originally used to fix the large lifting pole!

"Bang! Click!"

The dull impact and the sound of bamboo splitting and cracking sounded almost at the same time, but it was precisely relying on the buffer of this support pole that the platoon boat under Weiran's butt paused for less than a second and smoothly followed.

He followed the current around the river and ran in front of Squad Leader Liang and the donkey. But at the same time, Wei Ran's palms were also scratched with wounds from the cracked bamboo poles - even the bamboo poles

There is a layer of cloth wrapped around the support pole.

Not caring about the pain on his hands, Wei Ran put away the boat and jumped into the water. He grabbed Squad Leader Liang who had let go of the donkey and pulled him to the shore with all his strength.

Before he could take a breath, let alone check Captain Liang's injury, there was a conspicuous orange color at the bend of the river. Immediately afterwards, he watched Qin Shou sitting in the inflatable raft flipping over.
