"It seems we can't get out today."

Zhao Jinyu, who was riding a horse, saw that Wei Ran and Tian Xiaohu were both silent and guessed the reason.

"Let's get out!" Tian Xiaohu said, but pulled the reins and stopped.

Seeing this, Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu also stopped quickly.

Shaking the reins and catching up, Tian Xiaohu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Jinyu, "Take this letter and give me your grenade."

"What are you going to do?" Wei Ran immediately realized something was wrong, and Zhao Jinyu retracted his hand just before taking the envelope.

"Don't waste time"

Tian Xiaohu directly stuffed the feather-covered letter into Zhao Jinyu's horse's saddlebags, "Give me the grenade quickly! I will cover you when you go out. Those locks are not resistant to explosions. Wait for me to tear them open."

When you are surrounded, you should run down the mountain immediately.

As long as you leave the encirclement, you can use grenades to blow them up, and I will take the opportunity to run out."

"Okay, throw me half of the grenade!" Wei Ran responded happily at this time.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off the Japanese backpack containing all the grenades.

However, before he could open it, Wei Ran leaned forward and grabbed the backpack!

"Hey! You..."

"You run out, I'll cover you!"

Wei Ran said, already shouting at the black horse under his buttocks to run forward, and at the same time said loudly, "I have a way out, just hide after you escape!"

"This is not..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Wei Ran didn't give them a chance to continue talking, "Run! Run! We don't have many chances! Run with the special code!"

Gritting his teeth, Tian Xiaohu shook the reins vigorously and shouted at the dazed Zhao Jinyu, "Run! Run!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyu glanced at Wei Ran in panic, gritted his teeth and spanked the horse's butt hard, urging it to start running like crazy in the forest full of snow.

The three of them once again distanced themselves from the enemy who had just climbed up the ridge behind them. Wei Ran, who was riding at the front, was always paying attention to the situation ahead, and at the same time, he adjusted the range of the grenade in his hand to the closest.

Soon, before they saw anyone, the three of them heard shouts and curses coming from directly in front of them.

Obviously, the bandits who were responsible for blocking them were doing their job without putting in any effort, and made it clear that they did not want the anti-alliance fighters to break out from the direction they were responsible for.

Or to put it more bluntly, these guys just want to get this year's dividends and go home quickly. Who has the heart to kill the Japanese in this ice and snow?

While pulling the reins, Wei Ran also said loudly, "Squad Leader Xiaohu! Exchange horses with me! Hurry! Jinyu, give me the box cannon you just captured! Hurry!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already dismounted, opened the Japanese backpack, took out a grenade and stuffed it into the grenade barrel.

"Must survive!"

Tian Xiaohu said and jumped directly from the back of the mule to the back of the black horse. At the same time, Zhao Jinyu also handed Wei Ran the seven-nail box cannon he borrowed from the bandit who reported the news not long ago.

"Quick! Run! As the young master of the Cao family, use black words to tell them not to shoot!"

While Wei Ran reminded them, he had already pressed the trigger of the grenade!

"Boom! Boom!"

After the extremely close explosion, the shouts of the gangsters on the other side suddenly turned into panicked exclamations.

Weiran didn't care about that. After stuffing the second anti-personnel grenade, he immediately deflected it slightly and pressed the trigger.

"Tum! Tum! Tum!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three more anti-personnel grenades were fired in a row. Wei Ran, who had only the last anti-personnel grenade and the last three lights on hand, immediately put on the hand-held flower mechanism and galloped towards Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu.

Triggers were pulled on both sides of the back!

Under his life-threatening suppression and the sporadic, or even symbolic, counterattacks from the bandits, Tian Xiaohu and the two of them, who had been shouting something in slang, at least seemed to have managed to escape smoothly.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately picked up the grenade thrown at his feet and fired the last anti-personnel grenade behind him. Then he put the remaining three lights into his arms and put the grenade on his back.

Then he turned over and mounted the panting mule, and began to move laterally along the mountainside.

While running, he tied a cloth rope to the seven-nail box trigger he had just borrowed from Zhao Jinyu, and tied the other end to the saddle to get ready.

"Da da da!"

While moving, he also squeezed the trigger of the jacquard mechanism in his hand, fired randomly towards the side, and directly emptied the remaining bullets in the magazine.

After running for a long distance, he steered the mule past a lush pine tree and pulled the reins to stop.

He straightened up and leaned forward to grab the branches of the pine tree. While climbing up, he also let go of the seven-nail box cannon tied with a strip of cloth.

"Bang!"

Under the influence of gravity, the seven-nail box cannon fired a bullet. The mule was also frightened. After jumping on the spot, it spread its hooves and began to jump wildly.

But as he ran wildly, the box cannon, which was only tied with a cloth strip, fired bullets one after another with the bumps, and one of them even hit the mule's thigh——

This undoubtedly speeds up its running speed.

But at the same time, Wei Ran had nimbly stepped on the branches and climbed up to the crown of the pine tree, pressing his body tightly against the trunk, eliminating his own outline.

He was not sure whether this method could be used to evade it, and for this reason, to be on the safe side, he replaced the flower machine made by the Daku Factory with a new magazine.

In less than 15 minutes, he heard the shouts of the Japs and puppet soldiers. A moment later, he even saw with his own eyes a small group of Japs on sledges or skis chasing the horseshoe prints to the foot of the tree, and then

He followed the horse's hoof prints and chased them all the way down.

After waiting patiently for a moment, Wei Ran ventured down from the tree, stepped on his skis as fast as possible, and ran towards the top of the mountain ridge against the marks left by the Japanese.

They arrived at the top of the mountain ridge without any danger. He hid behind a pine tree and carefully observed it. Until he was sure that there were no enemies surrounding them on the other side of the mountain ridge, he climbed up as quickly as possible.

Reached the highest point of the mountain ridge.

However, he did not rush to escape. Instead, he took out the grenade again, punched it straight up and down on the ground, then took out a flare and stuffed it in, and decisively pressed the trigger!

"Boom!"

After firing the position-declaring flare above his head, Wei Ran took out a Japanese grenade from his pocket before putting the grenade on his back again, pulled out the safety pin, knocked it hard on the grenade, and then

Throw it out with force.

"boom!"

The slightly dull explosion was replaced by the shouts of the Japanese, puppet soldiers and bandits everywhere in the forest, but Wei Ran had already stepped on his skis, lowered his body on the slope and slid down quickly - with Zhao Jinyu and Tian

Xiaohu went in a completely opposite direction.

"Bang!"

Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain on this side of the mountain ridge, Wei Ran did not forget to take out the box cannon and fired another shot at the top of his head, as if he was afraid that the enemies behind him would not be able to catch up.

After running like this for more than half an hour, Wei Ran finally stopped firing to lure the enemy. After roughly determining the direction, he began to run in circles toward the vicinity of Langcaozi Valley.

It was the only place where he could see Hu Bazhi, Zhao Jinyu, Tian Xiaohu and others again. It was also his only familiar terrain and the only chance to survive.

Behind him, the Japanese, puppet soldiers, and bandits were still chasing him along the sled marks he left.

If there is a drone looking down from a high altitude at this time, it will be found that the bandits who are chasing are getting fewer and fewer.

A few of them were so evil that they even had the guts to chase after them. They would suddenly draw their knives and beat the puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers who were passing by them to death. They skillfully stripped off their valuables and then put their bodies into a tree nest.

As soon as he stopped, he turned around and disappeared into the deep mountains and forests on his skis.

Wei Ran didn't know about this situation at this time. Even if he knew, he didn't bother to analyze whether the bandits were helping him or just for their own benefit.

If he had the energy, he would even want to wonder whether Zhao Jinyu and Tian Xiaohu survived.

But in fact, how can he have more energy at this time? Even if there are not that many people chasing him, don't forget that the main force chasing him is either riding a mule or riding a mule sledge, which is not like him.

He relies on his two legs to push forward.

With increasingly rapid breathing, Wei Ran climbed up a mountain ridge again on his skis and poles, and then immediately rushed down the slope on the other side of the mountain ridge without even caring about resting.

He was waiting, waiting for the snow to fall hard enough, or for the wind to become strong enough. If neither of these came, he would have to wait for it to get dark as soon as possible.

He looked back behind him and then at the top of his head where snowflakes were still falling. After his skis had used up the inertia of sliding down the mountain ridge, Wei Ran stopped beside a birch tree, holding on to the trunk of the tree and breathing heavily.

gas.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

As soon as the sound of gunshots behind him reached his ears, the trunk of the birch tree that Wei Ran was holding on exploded with a crater as big as the palm of his hand.

Subconsciously shrinking down, he had no choice but to start running again, trying to widen the distance between the two sides as much as possible before the enemy who had just climbed to the top of the ridge behind him rushed down.

In this almost endless pursuit of each other, time passes slower and slower.

Wei Ran had to change direction again just before he was about to return to Langcaozigou, and continued to drill desperately into the deep mountains and old forests.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the snowflakes falling in the sky became much larger. Soon after, even the strong wind carrying the snowflakes flying became much stronger, especially when the wind came from behind!

Not long after, his figure was completely covered by the wind and snow. He even used ski poles to open the hem of the dog-skin coat he was wearing, turning himself into a kite without a rope to gain extra power!
