Chapter 49: Blood Wolf Order (7)

  Hu Pengsheng took his men and retreated ahead of time. When they arrived at the Red River Gorge, they were immediately intoxicated by the natural scenery here.

  The Red River Gorge is located in the eastern mountainous area of Liaoning Province. The gorge is 25 kilometers long, with steep cliffs and towering peaks on both sides. The river valley winds its way through the mountains, sometimes narrowing and sometimes widening, creating a mysterious and wonderful landscape. The creek flows gently at times, but also rushes forward rapidly at other times. The Red River Gorge is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, making it a rare and unspoiled natural wonder.

  According to the mountain terrain to build a good defensive position, Hu Pengsheng looked for his mother to ask for peace.

  "What? Old Madam didn't keep up?" Hu Pengsheng suddenly panicked. If Old Madam was missing, he would be unable to report back to Young Master.

  "Squad leader, this was given to me by the old lady, take a look!" A satisfied new soldier took out a letter and handed it over to Hu Pengsheng with both hands.

  "Captain Hu, I'm worried about the grain in the mountain cave. I'll contact our fellow Manchu brethren nearby to keep an eye on the enemy. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me within our Manchu territory. I'll wait for your triumphant return!"

  Hu Pengsheng finished reading the letter, stomped his foot in anger: "Isn't this a troublemaker? First Battalion Commander, you lead people here to meet the guard battalion, I'll go find Old Lady!"

  "Needn't look anymore!" Su Xi Qing shouted from afar, pointing to the surrounding tens of miles and saying: "The little devils have mobilized a whole regiment, going in means there's only one road to death! Let's wish her well, hoping she'll be safe and sound!"

  "Isn't it just a few thousand devils? Hmph, provoke him and have a hard fight with him. I'll see if he can bite my duckling to death!" As for Hu Mu, Hu Pengsheng was really speechless, causing trouble everywhere and bringing so much trouble to the troops.

  "Never mind!" Su Xi Qing said calmly: "There are nearly a million Japanese troops in the Northeast, this is not the time for a head-on collision. With the Blood Wolf Token, Madam can protect herself without any problem."

  The command post of the Zhuanghe Military Department, Hu Zhiyong waited for the telegram with a expressionless face. Liang Chengfu comforted him: "No matter how many devils there are, it's impossible for them to conduct a thorough search in such a large county."

  "I'm worried about Hu Pengsheng and Su Xiqing!" Hu Zhiyong threw away the cigarette butt stuck to his lips, furrowed his brow and said: "The Japanese army is very cunning, I estimate they won't withdraw for a while! No, send a telegram to Hu Pengsheng: hide, don't move without orders!"

  "Yes!" The telegraph operator hastily opened the telegraph machine and began tapping with his fingers.

  The Qingyuan forest area is 36.6 million mu, with an area of about 4,000 square kilometers. The terrain in the southeast is dangerous and there are not a few uninhabited forests. Special warfare troops, guard battalions, and blood wolf battle teams are all field forces that happen to be training for wilderness survival in the mountains and forests.

  Hu Pengsheng received the telegram and covered his belly, shouting: "Let's go, let's be savages in the forest!"

  The Japanese army was besieged in Dafang, and Peng Daoyong really brought good luck. The logistics troops passed through Dadunzi Town and were killed by him, more than a dozen little devils, and seized three carts of grain and countless shells.

  "Retreat! Grandma, the little devils won't let us go, it's better to slip away early!" The wound on his butt was still aching, Peng Daoyun opened a can of meat with a grin: "Hey, delicious! Those little devils really know how to enjoy themselves, unfortunately there are only a few dozen boxes!"

  "What about the cannons, food and ammunition?" Yu Laihao looked at the large quantity of supplies, unsure how to deal with them.

  "Bury it in the woods, and we'll find a buyer to exchange it for money later!" Peng Da Yun sat on a rattan chair, while his four subordinates struggled to lift it up and ran towards the mountain forest.

  Luck is not always there, this stock of bandits did not expect it, the little devils quickly found them. Gunfire, relieved Hu Pengsheng, Peng Dayun ran out a few miles, and was surrounded by the little devils from all sides.

  "Today I'll die with my grandma, I'm done!" Peng Daoyun couldn't care less about the wound on his butt, jumped down and directed his men: "Set up the cannon, ignite the gunpowder and blow it up!"

  When the bandits were fighting desperately, they would not stop cursing until they died. They had to fight to the death, and even at the moment of death, they had to show their manhood. The words of the leader were like imperial decrees, and more than 300 bandits occupied the strategic positions on the mountain, launching a fierce attack.

  "Give it all back!" Akino's face turned red. Ten carts of grain were looted, and it wasn't his fault. But the logistics team was robbed again, and he was certain that this group of bandits was responsible. He concentrated all his troops to surround the area within a few kilometers, sealing off all escape routes.

  It was unexpected that Hu Mu arrived at the east of Nan Zamu Town under the guidance of the Manchu people. This place happened to be within the encirclement of the Japanese army, and she had no choice but to follow the entreaty of the Manchu people and hide in a not-too-deep cellar.

  The devils killed everyone they met, and more than a dozen Manchu people were either dead or escaped. Hu Mu was left alone in the courtyard of the small mountain village. The robbers above were making a racket, and Hu Mu tightly grasped a hand grenade, determined to fight the devils to the death if necessary.

  Silver Dragon, anxiously watching in the mountain forest. Having undergone special warfare training, his ambush position was excellent. His gaze watched intently, with pistol and bayonet tightly gripped in both hands, already sweating profusely.

  With one against ten, the Silver Dragon will not be intimidated. However, with over a hundred devils gathering near the yard, he does not dare to act rashly and seek his own death.

  "The Chinese are cunning, go down and see if there is any grain hidden in the cellar!" The Japanese sergeant happened to be walking by the cellar entrance, ordering the two men to go down and check.

  "Hey!" The Japanese soldier gave a hearty laugh, putting down his Type 38 rifle and heading down into the cellar. Silver Dragon closed his eyes, cold sweat suddenly dripping from his temples onto the icy ground.

  "We've got the flower girl!" The Japanese soldier shouted in the underground tunnel, and the sound of fighting immediately spread to the ground. Several little devils rushed down, only to hear a "boom" as the hand grenade exploded.

  Gunfire rang out in the cellar, and after a while, only one Japanese soldier with blood all over his face crawled out.

  "Old lady!" Yin Long shouted in his heart, his lips bitten by anger without feeling.

  Peng Da-yun watched as two earth cannons fired and excitedly shouted wildly. When the Japanese army counterattacked, they dropped their earth cannons and lay on the ground.

  "Run, every one of you who can run is a survivor! Brothers, we'll meet again in the next life!" Peng Daoyun shouted as he crawled and ordered the bandits to scatter. Perhaps heaven was watching over him, for there was a grave with a hole in it hidden among the grasses that he hadn't noticed.

  "Boom!"

  "My goodness!"

  Peng Da Yun shouted out loud, the pain making him break out in a cold sweat. It was impossible to go up now, Peng Da Yun grasped his gun and prayed: "Goddess of Mercy, if I can escape this disaster, I will become a monk and chant Amitabha Buddha for you for the rest of my life!"

  The devils climbed the mountain, conducting a dragnet search and brutally killing Peng Daoyun's subordinates. Who would have thought that the bandit leader Dacan would narrowly escape with his life under the devils' noses? The search continued until noon on the second day, when the devils discovered the food hidden by the bandits.

  The hidden Silver Dragon didn't move for a whole day and night, and only crawled out of his hiding place after the devils retreated on the second day. He sat on the ground panting and moving his limbs. As it was about to get dark, he had to go see how Old Lady was doing, so that he could report back to Young Master.

  In the cellar, the corpse of the devil has been taken away. Hu Mu lay on his back, his belly blown open by a hand grenade. Next to Hu Mu's head with a smile, the Blood Wolf Order was torn apart, and a piece of sheepskin was thrown on the ground.

  The Silver Dragon picked up the sheepskin and took a look, knowing it was a treasure map. He picked up the Blood Wolf Token and closed it, put the torn sheepskin in his pocket and left the underground cellar.

  "Old lady, I can't take you away, rest here!" Silver Dragon hadn't eaten for a day or two and was weak. He used an iron shovel to dig the soil and buried the old lady in the land of the Manchu people.

  Peng Dayun, a day and night without food or water. His wound bleeding profusely left him on the verge of death. He refused to give up, slowly propping himself up against the tomb path, but the narrow entrance trapped him there.

  "Save me!" Seeing a young man passing by nearby, Peng Daoyun used his last bit of strength to shout.

  Yin Long was startled and took a jump. He saw that it was the leader of the bandits, and his pent-up anger finally erupted: "Why should I save you?"

  If it weren't for the bandits' robbery, Hu Mu wouldn't have died here. Yin Long shifted his anger to Peng Da Yun's body, looking at this fat man with a teasing gaze.

  "I'll give you all the hidden grain, ammunition and gold and silver I have!" Peng Daoyun didn't want to die. As long as he was alive, he still had a gun and could organize some people to eat well and drink spicy food.

  "Tell me the location, I'll go find those things and then come back to rescue you." Silver Dragon didn't care about the bandit leader's life or death, but that batch of food and ammunition was exactly what the special forces team lacked.

  "You pull me out and I'll tell you the address." Peng Da Yun wasn't stupid either, he didn't expect Yin Long to rescue him from the mountain, only asking to get out of the predicament of being trapped in the tomb.

  "Good!" The Silver Dragon was not afraid of Peng Da Yun's cunning, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled the big fat man out. A person who had practiced martial arts would also be surprised by the fat man's weight: "Dead fat pig, over 400 pounds!"

  "Speak up, where is the grain and ammunition?"

  Peng Da-yun had originally intended to tell Yin Long, but when he saw the young man pull out a short knife, he knew that this young man would not spare his life. He was panting, secretly loading the pistol with bullets.

  The bandit was cunning, and Yin Long's senses were not those of an ordinary person. The faint sound of the gun mechanism made him swing out his multi-functional military dagger, and Pangzi dodged to the left and opened fire.

  A knife was stabbed into Peng Da Yun's left shoulder, with fresh blood gushing out.

  Yin Long, dropping his bayonet, clutched at his chest. At close range, the pistol shot was inescapable for a cunning bandit like him. The two men fell to the ground simultaneously, with Yin Long being the first to lose consciousness.

  Must stop the bleeding, otherwise it will bleed to death. Peng Da Yun tore off Silver Dragon's clothes, hoping to use the torn cloth to block the bleeding wound. As fate would have it, Peng Da Yun took away that piece of sheepskin along with the pocket, and the fresh blood actually dissolved the pattern on the sheepskin clean.

  Another night passed, a fifteen or sixteen year old girl walked by here and found the dying Silver Dragon. The girl disregarded everything and picked him up, heading towards a small cave on the mountain cliff.

  Two days passed and Hu Peng's scouts reported back: "The devils have retreated!"

  "The guards left to continue training the Blood Wolf Squad, the special forces all moved out, three people in a group started searching for Old Lady! Hu Pengsheng didn't wait for Su Xiqing's response, slung his gun holster over his shoulder and walked towards the forest."

  The devils besieged and killed more than 300 bandits, and those who escaped also fled to distant places. The villagers nearby were originally few in number, and this time they were almost all killed by the devils.

  After searching for three days and nights, Hu Pengsheng gave up his idea and started sending telegrams to report back to Hu Zhiyong.

  On the fifteenth night of the first month, lanterns were hung high in the county town of Zhuanghe, and drums were beating loudly as a lion dance performance was underway. Hu Zhiyong received a telegram and said with some relief: "No bodies have been found, which means there is still a glimmer of hope. Since Yinlong is with her, keep searching for me!"
