Chapter 64

  This is a mountain valley that is not very wide, at most 20-30 meters, but the drop is quite large. From where the devils entered to the top of the mountain, there must be at least several tens of meters of drop. The two sides are all steep cliffs, with the highest being only 4-5 meters and the lowest being 2-3 meters. There are cracks everywhere, probably caused by water erosion. Even on top of some cliffs, there are several huge boulders, the largest one is at least 4-5 meters square, irregularly shaped, standing on a cliff, almost as if it's about to collapse, but for many years, it has remained like this without collapsing.

  The devils followed the traces left by the Eighth Route Army and arrived at this giant stone.

  There is a small branch here, and on the branch is perched a small piece of paper, which has been folded into a small swallow.

  A fake soldier presents this abnormal phenomenon, carefully took down the small paper piece in the past, and then unfolded it. On it, except for a simple hand-drawn smiling face, there were also a few lines of small words. Unfortunately, this fake soldier was illiterate, so he had to give the paper piece to another fake soldier who could read.

  This fake army took a look and saw that under the smiling face was written a small joke: The devils wanted to show their friendly attitude towards China, so they went on the street to promote friendship with Japan. A few little devils who thought they knew some Chinese characters were wandering around the big street, got hungry, and started looking for a restaurant. One of them came to the door of a small noodle shop and saw the big characters written on the water sign: "Beef noodles, big row noodles, convenient rice". They wanted to try it, so they went in. The busy waiter rushed over and asked, "Sir, what kind of noodles do you want to eat?" "I'll have..." said the little devil, wanting to show off his knowledge of Chinese characters, he turned his head to look at the vertical characters on the water sign and read them horizontally: "I'll have a bowl of 'cow' 'big' 'convenient'..." The voice asking for "big convenient" (meaning diarrhea) was quite loud, one word at a time.

  The diners in the restaurant looked at the little devils with surprise and whispered: "These bastards are really fierce!"

  The pseudo-army beside them was driven by the devils to clear the way, and they were already full of resentment. Now, as soon as they heard about the devils' affairs, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. The devils behind didn't know what had happened in front, only saw the pseudo-army stop and then start laughing loudly. The devils came over, one devil asked for clarification, snatched the note, but he couldn't understand Chinese characters. Coincidentally, a sergeant recognized a few Chinese characters, took a look, and suddenly became furious, slapped each of the pseudo-soldiers with two big slaps, saying "I let you laugh at the Imperial Army eating feces".

  Then he shouted "open the way" and led people to walk in the front, then kicked the branches on the road in front of him - a strange thing happened: the pseudo-soldiers behind only saw that when he kicked the branches, his foot also disappeared with a loud explosion! The Japanese sergeant's face turned pale and fell to the ground, dead or alive unknown. Along with him were several other Japanese soldiers who had fallen down beside him, although they didn't lack arms or legs, but their bodies covered in blood probably didn't feel too comfortable either.

  The devils hadn't taken any action yet when another explosion sounded, the devils instinctively wanted to crouch and hide, but suddenly it seemed that the explosion didn't come from within the troops, and no one in the troops was injured again.

  Just as the devils and puppet troops were filled with doubts, the big stone on top of their heads that had not moved for many years suddenly wanted to go out and travel, to see what kind of mess the devils had made of the outside world. With a sudden movement, it rolled down towards the mountain valley.

  Most of the devils and puppet troops were still searching for the explosion site, only a small number of devils noticed the anomaly above their heads. However, such a huge boulder was about to fall directly, the scene could be described as shocking heaven and earth, crying ghosts and gods, almost reaching the feeling of the sky falling down. Imagine, can one person see this kind of thing once in a lifetime? Those devils who noticed the boulder were all conquered by the charm of nature, standing still on the spot, not moving at all, staring intently at the boulder that was about to fall.

  Finally, the boulder completed its magnificent leap in life. With a loud crash, it directly crushed several devils and puppet soldiers into mush! Next, the explosives on those devils' bodies were detonated by the impact of the boulder, and the shockwave generated by the explosion, combined with the air wave caused by the boulder's impact, blew the remaining devils towards the nearby rocks. Then, carrying enormous kinetic energy, the boulder leaped again to a height of nearly three meters and charged down the mountain valley!

  What a magnificent scene, what momentum! The cliffs on both sides were like crumbling and shattering, no rock was spared. Under the giant boulder, everything was invincible, everything was crushed. A small tree with a trunk as thick as a bowl was cut off at the top like an adult plucking a blade of grass. As for the devils in the mountain valley, they could only seek blessings from all the gods and ghosts in the sky. If the boulder hit them, they would die instantly, no need to negotiate. Even if the boulder didn't hit them directly, the rocks that fell from the cliffs as it passed by were enough to take care of these people.

  For a time, the mountain valley was filled with the sound of gunfire and explosions, a smell of gunpowder mixed with blood, which soon spread throughout the entire valley.

  Soon, the giant stone's short journey came to an end, and the mountain valley was quiet again. The giant stone reached the lowest point of the valley, after knocking down several trees and shattering several cliffs, finally stopped, and quietly looked at the mountain valley it had traveled through.

  There are corpses everywhere in the mountain valley, there is polluted blood everywhere, there are broken stones everywhere, and there are branches everywhere.

  The devils and puppet troops who entered the mountain valley were wiped out by more than two-thirds, and the remaining ones were almost all wounded, everyone had a share.

  Many of the devils and puppet troops could not find their bodies or had no shape left, so they had to be packed in bags. Some corpses were even reduced to thin slices that could be rolled up.

  The devils and puppet troops on both sides of the mountain ridge had long stopped advancing, staring blankly at the tragic scene unfolding in the valley.

  My mother came, fortunately didn't go to the mountain valley, otherwise I wouldn't know how to die. Many fake soldiers think so too.

  Probably even Li Tie did not expect that the two bombs he had buried on a whim would have such a great effect.

  When he brought everyone here, he saw this boulder and wanted to push it down. In his previous life, he had pushed rocks down the mountain, watching as tens of kilograms of rock hurtled down with a deafening roar, crashing into the valley below. He thought that if he could push this boulder down, the spectacle would be even more magnificent. So, he buried a tree branch in their path and placed a modified hand grenade under it, set to explode when the branch fell. Seeking thrills, he wrote a joke mocking the enemy on a piece of paper and attached it to the branch, knowing that if the enemy or puppet soldiers passed by, they would definitely pick it up to read. On the back side of the boulder, he buried a large landmine, its fuse also tied to the tree branch, so that when the hand grenade exploded below, it would trigger the landmine, which he estimated could dislodge the boulder.

  The boulder has been lifted now, and the scene is indeed magnificent, very magnificent.

  The devils on both sides of the mountain top stared blankly at the devils in the valley being bombarded by huge rocks, suffering heavy casualties, while they themselves were powerless.

  The lieutenant colonel of the leading team suddenly became furious and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, fainting. A major next to him took over command.

  The devil lieutenant thinks that the main reason for this situation is that the Imperial Army acted too slowly, so it gave the Eighth Route an opportunity to give the Imperial Army a chance to make small moves and cause heavy casualties.

  。

  Ordered a small squad of fake soldiers to stop and gather in the mountain valley, while leading others to speed up and pursue the Eighth Route Army.

  At the same time, in order to avoid similar situations from happening again, the devil lieutenant ordered all men and horses to walk along the mountain ridge. Stones can't fly directly to the top of the mountain, right? I'll let you hit me with stones again, I'll dodge these places, and see how you hit them.

  The devils quickly reorganized their troops and indeed made significant improvements compared to before.

  Li Tie and his men were not far from the devils to begin with, but now that the devils have closed in, the distance has become even shorter. There were times when the soldiers had just climbed over a mountain, only to find that the next one had been occupied by the devils. Since Li Tie led everyone on a straight path, the devils could not surround them and kept following closely behind, hot on their heels.

  It has to be said that the military quality of these devils is indeed relatively strong. Li Tie led the independent regiment's warriors to run tens of kilometers every day, even tying sandbags to their legs, and trained for several months. Now, using this to escape, it's even more routine. However, these devils almost didn't fall behind a few steps, and just from a physical standpoint, they are even slightly better than the independent regiment's warriors.

  But the pseudo-army behind was no good, although they were also native-born Chinese, but on this small mountain in China, they ran desperately and couldn't keep up with the pace of the devils. Gradually, the distance between them widened, if it weren't for the devils keeping watch, I reckon they would have found a place to rest long ago. Even so, the frontmost devil and the rearmost pseudo-army were at least ten or more miles apart, separated by at least five or six mountain peaks.

  About fifty or sixty devils were chasing in the front, all carrying Type 38 rifles, with a submachine gun and a grenade launcher in between, looking like a small squad.

  It seems that this is a small team with relatively strong combat effectiveness, and it is estimated to be the elite troops of the devils.

  Li Tie ran with the independent regiment, panting heavily, and had been running for a whole morning. His stomach was empty and his legs were about to cramp up, and he had hardly rested in between.

  Finally crossed a small hill, in front of it is a small basin, the distant mountains are at least 50 or 60 miles away from here. The basin is dotted with villages, and there are also several enemy watchtowers scattered among them. In the middle of the basin is a city, with high city walls, and a moat below, on which there are flags that look like medicinal plasters. A railway runs through this small city, extending far away, this is the county seat of Mengxian County of the enemy. After passing through the county seat of Mengxian County, going east and crossing several hills, we arrived at the base area.
