Chapter 564 Lost Direction
Chapter 564 Lost Direction
"How long have you been here?"
"Almost half a month!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in despair.
For more than half a month, one company dispersed to look for a way out but was unable to get out. How could they, with such a small number of people, get out?
Yuan Shuai suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Have you seen any of the villages or individual farmers' thatched huts? Or any of the enemy's strongholds and artillery towers?"
"No, we didn't see a village or a thatched hut. There were only the thatched huts we built before! We didn't see any enemy strongholds or artillery towers. We only encountered a small group of enemy soldiers, at most a squadron! And they were all looking for us. It seems that the enemy knew about our actions in advance!"
Wang Shuncheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Damn it, this is a fucking no man's land!"
"And it must be a spy who revealed your actions and the route of our plane!"
"Damn spy, so damn hateful!"
"If I have a chance to go back alive, I will kill these dog spies!"...
Everyone was so angry that they gritted their teeth and cursed.
Yuan Shuai pondered.
"There are no villages, no farmers, not even the enemy's strongholds or artillery towers. There are only a small group of troops coming in to search and hunt. It seems that even the enemy doesn't want to occupy this place. In other words, this is not the enemy's territory!"
"Whose territory is that?"
Several nationalist soldiers looked at General Yuan in confusion.
Yuan Shuai patted his backpack and said.
"Crocodile's territory!"
"Gulu!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva in guilt.
If it were the Japanese, they would not be afraid. At worst they would fight with them and fight to the death, or they would die together with them.
But it’s different for crocodiles. If this is really a crocodile’s territory, then there must be a lot of crocodiles here.
Once the crocodiles surrounded them and they ran out of bullets, they could only wait to be eaten by the crocodiles as dinner.
"Boss, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and think of a way to get out of this damn place!"
"Yes, you should think of a solution quickly. If this is really the crocodile's territory, the crocodile will definitely come to find us again!"
All the anxious eyes were looking at Yuan Shuai, hoping that Yuan Shuai could take them away from this hellhole alive.
Yuan Shuai squatted down, took out his bayonet, drew a map on the ground, and spoke.
"Master Du said that our destination this time was Amba, but we had to make an emergency landing before we even got there. Amba is in Myitkyina, so we are within the scope of Myitkyina, and to the east is China!"
"Then let's go east!"
Du Shao was the first to make a suggestion.
He even forgot the tasks assigned by his superiors.
Because he doesn't want to die, he can only survive by returning to his country.
Yuan Shuai shook his head repeatedly.
"It's impossible for the Japanese not to deploy a large number of troops along the border. Even if we can reach the border by chance, we won't go over!"
"How do you know if you can't get through it if you don't try? We can put on makeup and become refugees!"
"Yes, we can disguise ourselves as beggars and beg for food!"
"We can sneak across!"
Several soldiers who wanted to go back followed suit.
Apparently, all they wanted now was to get home.
Everyone wants to go home, including everyone here and everyone who has gone abroad, everyone wants to return to their homeland.
But many people know that although China is in the East, they can't even get out of this hellhole, let alone get to the border.
At this time, Wang Shuncheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"We tried to walk eastwards, but unfortunately, we got lost. The magnetic field here is very strong, even airplanes can't get in, and the compass is useless!"
As he spoke, Wang Shuncheng took out a compass from his pocket.
The needle of the compass kept shaking and there was no way to determine the direction.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed in despair again.
Some people even lay on the ground in despair.
Someone squatted on the ground and silently wiped the tears from his eyes.
"What are you doing? Just because they can't get out doesn't mean we can't get out. We have the boss here. He has never lost a battle and has seen all kinds of situations. He will definitely lead us out!"
"Yes, our boss can definitely lead us out!"
Hu Dacai took the lead, and Xiao Digu and others followed suit.
Although they didn't know if Yuanshan could do it.
But what they can do now is to try their best to prevent the team from losing hope.
Otherwise, the morale of the entire team will drop to freezing point.
Yuan Shuai nodded arrogantly.
"That's right. Although the compass is useless, we still have ways to determine the direction, such as the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, the density and sparseness of tree branches and leaves, the growth of trees on the hillside, the stars at night, etc., which can all provide us with direction identification. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to fight our way out! But now we have to get out of this damn place first!"
After saying that, he glanced at the sun in the sky, saw that it was about to set and said, "That's the west, let's go northwest."
"Why are you going northwest? The direction we're going home is east!"
Du Shao quickly ran over to stop Yuan Shuai.
Yuan Shuai did not answer, but just looked at Wang Shuncheng.
"Were you heading east before?"
"That's right. Although we no longer have a compass to guide us, we still headed east based on the sun, moon and stars. Unfortunately, we didn't get out!"
"Did you hear that? They kept going east and couldn't get out, so if we go east again, we won't get out either. But if we go northwest, we might go in the wrong direction, but even if we go in the wrong direction, it's nothing more than going west or north! Didn't you say that if we don't try, how can we know it won't work?"
"But this way, we will be further and further away from China!"
"What we need to do now is not to return home, but to get out of this crocodile's territory! If we can't even get out of the crocodile's territory, how can we return home?"
"..."
Mr. Du was speechless.
The others didn't say anything else and could only follow Yuan Shuai and continue moving forward.
After eating and drinking and resting for a while, their strength gradually recovered.
In order to help some of the wounded recover better, Yuan Shuai asked several brothers to find branches and vines, and collect the Japanese soldiers' clothes, belts and blankets to make stretchers to carry the wounded.
Although this consumed some of the soldiers' physical strength, it helped the wounded to recover from their wounds.
When it was night, Yuan Shuai found a hilltop, built a fire, ate and rested.
At the same time, people were arranged to stand guard on large trees in four directions.
The brothers heated up the crocodile legs they brought with them on the fire, and then gnawed on the crocodile meat one by one.
“You know what, although these crocodiles are disgusting, their meat is really good!”
"If the boss hadn't led us to kill so many crocodiles, we wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food!"
"Sometimes I wonder if we should encounter more crocodiles so that we can kill them and provide us with food!"
"Shut your crow mouth!"
"Hahaha!"
The laughter of the Black Wolf Army also eased the tense atmosphere a lot.
Yuan Shuai suddenly said.
"Little sweet potato, Yu Daqing, have you buried all the mines I asked you to bury?"
