Chapter 397: A Long Journey

The soldiers who had supported the day were extremely tired, but there was no moon on this night. They lit torches to illuminate the night.

They climbed over the hills and walked on the mountain roads and also the avenues leading to various cities, but they took a detour, not entering the county town or disturbing the local government. This was the fastest plan that Guo Xiaowu chose to arrive in Shanghai as soon as possible.

But this is nearly 2,500 miles away, which is very urgent.

The wind was a little cold at night. When we arrived at midnight, the soldiers rested on a road in the mountains, separated the two sides and gave way out the road in the middle.

Torchs were erected on the woods on both sides of the avenue. After the soldiers recovered their strength, they leaned against the trees in groups and collapsed.

They were extremely tired. Even the talkative Zhu Dafei quietly closed her mouth and leaned against her brothers without wanting to talk.

The night seemed not to want to let them go, and in the cool night breeze, raindrops began to float! The cold raindrops hit the face, making the brothers open their eyes one by one.

"It's raining! Get up and set up the military tent, hurry up!" Li Dazhu yelled in his battalion.

At the same time, the second, third and baggage battalions, act immediately! Pull out the rain cloth on the baggage cart and throw the tent down.

The soldiers were still very fast, and tents rose from the ground and fixed them on the trees with ropes.

Scattered raindrops became tighter, and many soldiers' uniforms were soaked, but under the order of the company's platoon leader, they had already brought some dry firewood and threw it into the tent.

After the soldiers all entered the military tent, they began to light a bonfire to keep warm! They gathered around the bonfire to dry their military uniforms, and then fell asleep on each other tiredly.

It seemed as if in the blink of an eye, the heavy rain was still falling! The soldiers were awakened by the gunshots, and they took out the raincoats from their backpacks and put them on them, began to rush out of the tent, put them together, and then continued to drive out.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark on heavy rain, so I couldn't see my fingers! The platoon leader took out a flashlight that only they had and turned on the light to illuminate the road ahead.

"Don't fall behind, follow closely! One, one, one, two, three, four..."

"One, two, three, four!"

The sound of heavy rain covered the sound of horse hooves and continued to run in the heavy rain, making the brothers seem to have surpassed their own level.

When ordering to stop, the cooks came over with a load and threw two cans to each soldier.

During the march, it was impossible to cook in a life of heavy rain! But for the soldiers, two canned meat made them more happy than eating a hot meal.

This is meat, a good thing they can eat even if they don’t have to spend ten days and half a month.

In the heavy rain, the brothers took out their axes, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

The thin iron strip was sharp and the fingers were accidentally cut! Although I felt the pain, no one cared! The blood mixed with dripping rainwater was sent into my stomach.

After they had enough food and drink, they also recovered their physical strength! Although they were tired, they didn't want to wait in the heavy rain.

The brothers asked the platoon leader to continue the march, which came into Guo Xiaowu's ears.

Guo Xiaowu decisively issued an order and continued to move forward.

At this time, the sky began to brighten, and the heavy rain gradually became smaller and eventually disappeared. However, the sun in the east emerged from the dark clouds, and the warm eyes shone on the body, with warmth.

It's clear!

The soldiers had a broad vision, and Guo Xiaowu ordered to stop the march! Forty minutes passed, and it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.

Guo Xiaowu grabbed the horse and jumped off the horse, looked at the clear sky, and ordered: "Stay on the spot for forty minutes, make up for the ones you just ran, and give the orders you gave before departure, and run as long as you go."

Li Erlong immediately jumped onto the war horse and ran wildly in a long row: "The order of the regiment seat, the whole person rests for forty minutes, and the marching for fourteen hours cannot be changed! The military order is like a mountain."

The soldiers were breathing, and after resting, they squatted down on the spot to recover their physical energy, and picked up the water bag and gulped it.

"Group, run more distances, didn't you arrive in Shanghai earlier?" Asked Adjutant Lin, he was the one who was most anxious to help Shanghai.

He is from Shanghai, and he will sacrifice his life without hesitation in order to defend Shanghai.

Where can there be his family and his fellow villagers! That is his roots, his hometown.

"Brothers need to adapt slowly. Although this marching speed is not the limit, the soldiers' bodies have been overdrawn in the past two days, and they are supporting themselves with their will.

There is also a sense of strength! If they can last for the past five days, it will be much easier for the brothers to break through the limits of their bodies, and the marching speed will get faster and faster without commanding them.

I know your mood, but hasteness is not enough! Even if we rush to Shanghai a day in advance, we are headless flies.

The 800,000 army started war everywhere, and when we arrived at the battlefield, we would start war immediately when we encountered a battle.

The Japanese army will use bombers to bomb all the time, and combat opportunities will be roaring in the sky.

Where can I fight!? It depends on our luck.

I have no way to contact the commander, and now we don’t have telegrams! Even if there is telegram, there is no password."

Guo Xiaowu said, his face with a helpless smile.

He received the transfer order just a simple order, but where he went to Shanghai!? Where to fight!? It did not explain, even if the military headquarters was, he didn't know where it was.

Then there is only one possibility. Whenever he encounters a war, he will fight and then fight.

Or if you encounter other troops, let them contact and get exact military orders.

Adjutant Lin fell silent. He had this idea! But he knew the group leader was right.

Now the brigade commander regards himself as a regiment commander, which also represents his helplessness. Because he lacks enough troops, he cannot take the initiative when he arrives in Shanghai's Big Sword Brigade.

"Room seat! What do you think of robbing soldiers??" Adjutant Lin asked at the thought of this.

"The war triggered, hundreds of thousands of troops were difficult to command! Many troops would not be able to find the north and south, and it was even possible that their commanders were all confused.

I will tell them that I am your brigade commander, and my target is the miscellaneous army with strong combat power." Guo Xiaowu smiled.

"Miscellaneous Army!? Is this going to lose my head?" Adjutant Lin said worriedly.

"Damn it, I have the final say in my journey! There are so many soldiers, who am I afraid of?" Guo Xiaowu said coldly.

Adjutant Lin's body shook, this is his team leader! Domineering.

Only the leader of the group is so brave! He will not change his face even if he breaks the sky.

Forty minutes later, the troops set off again! They began to travel through mountains and rivers and entered the foggy jungle. Miraculously, no one fell behind. After the tenth day in a row, they entered the boundary of Shanghai.

As soon as they entered Shanghai, the soldiers heard the sound of whistles and saw many troops starting to assemble toward Shanghai City.

"We are the Sichuan Army, where are your troops!?"

These soldiers of the 2,000-many man are generally short-sized! Their skin is darker, most of them carry old sleeves, and there are not many heavy weapons such as light and heavy machine guns. Some veterans have big smoke guns on their waists.

The leader of the Sichuan Legion greeted Guo Xiaowu.

"Hello, brothers of the Sichuan Army, the 88th Division of the First Army." Guo Xiaowu responded with a horse.
