Shan Haitao said,"I'd better call Grandpa in."”Shan Haitao walked out and brought his grandfather in."Let grandpa tell us." "Haitao came to me the day before yesterday and asked me to find a way out of the mountain around us, just in case." I've hunted in this area my entire life. I can walk out of this mountain even with my eyes closed. Right now, we are surrounded by the devils on the east, west, and south sides. Behind us are the mountains. It seems like we are trapped. In fact, there was a path on any mountain, but it was just that no one had discovered it. There's a path on the mountain behind us that hunters often take. Outsiders don't know about it. I can lead everyone out."
When Bai Yihua heard this, he immediately became excited. He punched Shan Haitao."Haitao, you're really something. When did you see through Li Qiang's flaw?”
Shan Haitao changed the topic." Let's retreat first. Everyone, hurry up and prepare after we return." Be careful, the fire on our position cannot be extinguished. This will give the Japanese the illusion that we are still here. This way, it'll be easier for us to retreat.”
At 8 PM sharp, Bai Yihua led his troops out of their respective positions. They followed Lin Juan's grandfather up the mountain. The team walked for six hours before they successfully reached the back of the mountain. It was already three or four in the morning. Bai Yihua gave the order to rest. The exhausted team members fell asleep as they sat on the ground. Bai Yihua found Lin Juan. In the darkness, although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, he could still feel the fatigue on Lin Juan's face.
"Can you still take it? You're pregnant." Bai Yihua said worriedly. "This is nothing," Lin Juan said in a relaxed tone. Don't worry. You should take care of your people." Bai Yihua hugged Lin Juan tightly. Then, he turned around and left.
The next day, Bai Yihua, Cai Shan, Shan Haitao, and Shi Shoutian chose a place for the soldiers to build their tents. Then, they found a place to sit together and discuss their next step. This time, everyone sat together with a heavy heart. Bai Yihua was the first to reflect on himself."The main responsibility for this defeat is on me. It was my impatience that made me believe in that traitor Li Qiang and almost let the little brat wrap us up.”
Cai Shan was even more regretful." It's all my fault. If I hadn't brought Li Qiang to our station, the commander wouldn't have believed him." We won't let the devils surround us."
"Actually, everyone doesn't blame themselves. We are still young and lack experience in counter-reconnaissance. This is a lesson. We'll just have to be more careful in the future. He could not let the same mistake happen again.”
Bai Yihua asked in confusion,"Haitao, how did you see Li Qiang's flaw?"”
"First, we've been here for so long, but we've never heard of the Black Mountain guerrillas. Secondly, as a scout, it was impossible for him to dare to reveal his identity to someone who was not in his team. Third, Li Qiang was eager to go up the mountain and agreed to contact you three days later. I think he must be buying time for the Japanese. In order to confirm my judgment, I found Grandpa and asked him about the Black Mountain guerrillas. He didn't hear of this team, so I asked Grandpa to find a way out for us.”
In the blink of an eye, it was the most difficult winter. The things that gave Bai Yihua the most headaches increased. During this period, the Japanese had never stopped their pursuit. He had to lead the team to deal with the Japanese and consider how to solve the team's winter clothing problem. For him, there was another big event, and that was that Lin Juan was going to give birth. It was not easy to give birth to a child in this team that lacked food and drink. Moreover, they were all men in their twenties or thirties. Bai Yihua decided to send Lin Juan down the mountain.
In order to let Lin Juan go down the mountain smoothly, Bai Yihua decided to tell his grandfather about his idea first and get his approval. This way, they could convince Lin Juan together. Hence, he found his grandfather and told him his thoughts. After hearing Bai Yihua's words, Grandpa pondered for a while.""You're right. There's an old hunter at the foot of the mountain. They have been my good friends for many years, and I even saved his life. I can rest assured if I send Juan Zi to them.”Bai Yihua took over his grandfather's words and said,"Grandfather, I think you shouldn't come up again this time." Look, you're already so old, but you're still running around with us young men. It's really unbearable. I really don't feel good in my heart. An old man of your age should be spending his remaining years at home.”
"Alright, I won't come up the mountain." Just stay at home and take good care of Juan Zi, and let her give birth to a big fat boy for you safely.”
Bai Yihua saw that his grandfather did not object, and a stone in his heart was lifted. Hence, he and his grandfather went to look for Juan Zi. "Juan Zi, you're about to give birth now. It's not a good idea to stay in the army." We're all men here, and no one knows how to deliver babies. Grandpa and I have discussed this. You should prepare to leave the mountain today. Grandpa will also go down the mountain with you. What do you think?"
Grandpa took over Bai Yihua's words and said,"Juan Zi, are we leaving the team? Here, we can only be their burdens. After we leave, they can focus on fighting the Japanese.”
When Juan Zi heard this, although she was very unhappy, she felt that what they said made sense, so she could only nod and agree. With that, Bai Yihua personally sent Juan Zi and Grandfather down the mountain.
Under the lead of their grandfather, Bai Yihua and the others came to a small village with more than ten families at the foot of the mountain. They walked into a dilapidated house, but it was very clean. The two elders in the courtyard were cleaning the courtyard. Bai Yihua and the others rushed back after sending him to the door. He was still thinking about the team. No one would have thought that Bai Yihua and Juan Zi's separation would be a farewell. Until Bai Yihua died, he never saw Juan Zi again.
