At night, the wind and snow became even more intense.
The light snow that had been falling since the afternoon gradually became heavier as the sun set.
As far as the eye could see, the entire Taihang Mountains, even the Luliang hills, were covered in a thick layer of white.
What he saw was a similar vast expanse.
The mountain path was difficult to find. In this dilemma where they looked left and right, Geng Zhan led more than 20 soldiers from the Sixth Company and ran through the snow for the entire afternoon.
Finally, they got lost near the North Mountain Mine!
There were no locals near Yangchuan County in Liulian, and the location of the mine was far from the road.
If they entered the mountain without knowing the terrain, coupled with the heavy snow, it was easy to deviate from the route without knowing it.
On a small hill, Geng Zhan looked helplessly at the endless snowy mountains in front of him and scratched his head awkwardly.
Damn it, this was indeed too awkward.
He had wanted to support his brothers 'troops and kill the devils in the mines. While he liberated the laborers, he wanted to see if he could recruit some laborers and expand his team.
Who would have thought that they would get lost when they were about to reach the mine?
His consciousness scanned the countdown on the system panel. There were still two hours until the next check-in.
"I really hope that the next time I sign in, you can give me a satellite map or something. I definitely can't make such a low-level mistake again in the future.”
Geng Zhan thought gloomily.
But even if the system could really send a satellite map, it would be two hours later.
In these two hours, what were the 20 soldiers of the 6th Company doing? Standing on the mountain in the cold wind?
"Captain, where are we? How far is it from the North Mountain Mine?"
Hu Li was no longer trembling when he spoke. This old man had just changed into a cotton coat from the seized supplies. He even got a pair of military boots that fit his feet.
He was not the only one. Many soldiers in the company had changed into the Japanese military uniform before they set off.
There were only a few stubborn ones who would rather freeze than wear the clothes of the Japanese.
However, there were a few smart ones who removed the cotton from the Japanese's cotton clothes and stuffed them into their own clothes.
Although it wasn't very comfortable, it was warm.
It was also because of this that everyone's physical strength was still in good condition after traveling in the freezing wind and snow for an entire afternoon.
When Geng Zhan heard Hu Li's words, he didn't know how to reply. He couldn't possibly tell the soldiers that they were lost, right? That would affect their morale.
Finally, Geng Zhan chuckled and said,""Soon! We'll be there in a while."
Upon hearing this, although Hu Li could see the evasive look in Geng Zhan's eyes, he did not suspect him. He did not say anything and called for the team to follow behind Geng Zhan as they continued to move forward.
As for Geng Zhan, he could only rely on his extraordinary eyesight to look into the distance in the wind and snow, trying to find traces of the North Mountain Mine.
After the team advanced for more than ten minutes, they circled around a corner on the mountainside.
All of a sudden, Geng Zhan's ears twitched slightly. He could faintly hear the faint sound of a gun in the wind.
"Shh! There's a situation!"
Geng Zhan was delighted and quickly stopped the troops. He then listened carefully to determine the direction of the gunshots.
After a while, Hu Li asked in puzzlement,"Company commander, what's wrong? What did you hear?"
Geng Zhan closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice,""It's the sound of gunshots. They were made in Hanyang, and there were also the Japanese's 38 big guns and crooked guns!”
Hearing this, Hu Li and Lin Feng looked at each other.
Although they were surprised by Geng Zhan's extraordinary hearing, they both knew what the gunshot meant.
"It should be our team fighting with the Japanese!”
"Looks like we've finally arrived at our destination. Since we're still fighting, it proves that the situation isn't too bad.”
As they spoke, the two of them simultaneously took off the rifles on their shoulders, eager to give it a try.
At this moment, Geng Zhan's eyes lit up with excitement.
Just as he was worried about not being able to find the place, the gunshot just pointed him in the right direction.
Geng Zhan immediately waved at the team behind him and said,"
"Let's go and take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who had been walking in the snow for a long time became alert. They picked up the weapons in their hands and followed Geng Zhan.
The group moved quickly in the snow. After about ten minutes, the sound of gunfire in the distance gradually became louder.
At this distance, even ordinary people could clearly hear the sound of gunfire.
However, as the crowd continued to approach, the gunshots gradually became sparse.
It was not until they crossed a small hill that they finally saw a different scene in the valley in front of them.
"It's the Japanese!"
When he saw the scene before him, Hu Li could not help but call out in a low voice.
A few hundred meters away, there was a temporary Japanese camp. Although it wasn't perfect, it was starting to take shape.
Judging from the footprints left by the dozens of Japanese soldiers in the snow, the battle should have been going on for a long time.
Moreover, the Japanese seemed to have given up on attacking and had pulled the line of disbanded soldiers down the mountain.
They surrounded the mountain on the opposite side.
From the looks of it, they were planning to engage in a war of attrition and trap the enemy on the opposite mountain.
Geng Zhan narrowed his eyes and looked at the opposite side, which was about 800 meters away in a straight line. He wanted to see which army was fighting the Japanese.
With his superb vision, he did see a few familiar figures in the gloomy night.
"It's the brothers of the Ninth Company!"
(Brothers, please collect flowers!) Also, thank you to the two big shots, Anyinchen and **, for their tips!! Thank you!)
