Chapter 231

Not long after Duan Yu left.

While walking on the mountain, faint dog barking suddenly came from the direction he had just left.

Duan Yu's face immediately darkened:

"Can't even take this road?!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately changed direction.

Since the Japanese army could track him here, it meant that the base he was preparing to go to was already known to the Japanese army.

Perhaps someone was already waiting there now.

However, the viewers in the live stream were still unaware of the situation.

After Duan Yu changed direction, while walking unsteadily in the snow, he said to the Blue Star netizens in the live stream:

"The base I was originally going to was very hidden."

"Even most of the guerrillas didn't know about it, because that base was also built when I was randomly assigned the identity of a primitive Anti-Japanese United Army soldier during the 【WWI】 series plot."

"Only a few people knew."

"After so many years of fighting, to the current plot year of 1940, there shouldn't be many people who know about it."

"Logically speaking, the Japanese army shouldn't be able to track me in this direction."

"But I've been walking for 7 days and 7 nights, and the Japanese army is still in close pursuit; I'm afraid that base has already been exposed."

"I was wondering why the Japanese army's nose was sharper than a dog's this time."

"Now I can be sure."

Duan Yu's face was ugly; although he had suspected it before, he couldn't be sure, but now he could be certain.

No wonder the situation suddenly became so difficult. Duan Yu took a deep breath, looked back at the direction the barking came from, gritted his teeth, and quickened his pace; he absolutely could not let the Japanese army catch up.

Night falls.

The world becomes silent.

Duan Yu, who had been walking for most of the day, had changed from walking normally to leaning on a tree branch.

And in those unsteady footprints, there was already a hint of bright red; his hands and feet were already numb from the cold, and he was starving and freezing.

Even though all sensations were tuned to the lowest, it still couldn't hide the weakness of his body.

This was something willpower couldn't control. Seeing that the sky had already darkened, Duan Yu knew he had to quickly find a place to rest for the night.

Otherwise, he would freeze to death outside.

And the stomach cramps brought on by hunger now felt like they were burning.

Duan Yu looked around, saw a birch tree, walked over with difficulty, pulled out the knife at his waist, and slashed along the dry bark.

Peeling back the dry bark, the light yellow inner bark was revealed.

Duan Yu carefully dug out a piece, put it in his mouth, and chewed hard while supporting his chin with his frostbitten hands.

The bark was bitter and astringent, and the fibers inside were as coarse as sawdust.

Even though he was so hungry, and had used his hands to assist in chewing for a long time, he still couldn't swallow it at all.

But fortunately, Duan Yu had experience; chewing for a long time was also to make the coarse bark as crushed as possible. After feeling it was about right, Duan Yu bent down and grabbed a handful of snow.

Stuffing it into his mouth.

The snow water mixed with the bark flowed down his throat, and the cold feeling reaching his stomach made his whole body tremble; the burning sensation in his stomach also decreased a little, but soon it came back up.

Duan Yu's movements didn't stop; he continued to dig for the light yellow bark.

Stuffing it into his mouth and then swallowing it with snow water.

I don't know how much time passed, but Duan Yu, who finally caught his breath, set off again toward the distance.

Just looking at the frostbite on his hands, Duan Yu sighed in his heart.

This plot, I'm afraid I can only hold on for one more day.

Next door live stream.

In the live stream of Tang Xu, a Blue Star streamer who was also challenging survival.

Unlike the survival in the wilderness where Fang Ming and Duan Yu avoided the devils, Tang Xu's live stream was currently in a fierce battle with the devils.

It had already been two days of fighting.

The original team of more than 20 people was now left with only him.

At this time, Tang Xu had just escaped the devils' sight, hiding in a broken house in an abandoned village, took out the last piece of frozen corn cake from his bosom, and carefully took a small bite.

Chewing slowly in his mouth while guarding against the outside.

Suddenly.

Faint dog barking came from outside.

Tang Xu cursed under his breath:

"They came too fast."

Thinking of stuffing the corn cake back into his bosom, he then checked the bullets, his brows furrowed.

Only 5 bullets left.

Even if all 5 hit, it's going to be tough.

But he couldn't think about that much right now.

Quickly pulling the bolt to chamber a round for the rifle in his hand, Tang Xu then looked out through the broken window.

In the distance.

The figures of five or six Japanese devils were surrounding him in a fan shape, and the military dogs they were leading were constantly barking toward his side.

Tang Xu silently climbed over the house and retreated toward the back mountain.

The Blue Star netizens in the live stream also held their breath, watching this scene nervously.

However.

Just as Tang Xu stepped into the back mountain, a burst of crazy dog barking came from the right side, and Tang Xu's scalp instantly went numb:

"Damn!"

"They arranged people in the back mountain too?"

He wanted to change direction, but it was already too late.

A sharp whistle pierced the sky.

Followed by the hurried shouting in Japanese and the metallic sound of bolts being pulled; the dog barking in the mountain village below was also barking crazily, obviously all surrounding him here.

Bang!

A bullet flew past his ear, hitting the tree trunk behind him, and wood chips splattered everywhere.

Tang Xu rolled and hid behind a tree, his heart pounding. He wanted to take out his rifle to fight back, but thinking of his only 5 bullets and the large group of devils surrounding him from the village.

Tang Xu gritted his teeth and turned to run into the woods.

In the distance.

Stiff Chinese came from over there:

"You are surrounded!"

"Surrender!"

Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by constant shooting.

While running, Tang Xu listened to the persuasion to surrender from behind, couldn't help but look back, and raised his gun at the Japanese army chasing him:

"Surrender your m!!!"

Bang!

He fired a shot, but it didn't hit the head.

Watching the Japanese soldier hide while holding his shoulder, Tang Xu had no choice:

"Damn."

7

Turning around, he continued to run into the mountains.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots echoed constantly in the mountains and forests, and the devils' encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.

But when he ran to the top of the mountain, Tang Xu didn't dare to run anymore.

Because once he went down the mountain, it would be an open area, completely a moving target.

Tang Xu thought for a moment, tore off a few pieces of his hat and clothes, and threw them in different directions to attract the attention of the Japanese military dogs.

And after looking around, he found a rock to hide behind and thought about his battle plan.

Soon.

A wave of pursuing Japanese soldiers led military dogs to search here, but the two military dogs, because of the scattered clothes, were moving in several directions.

The few Japanese devils didn't know which way to chase, so they had to split up, each following a military dog.

Tang Xu held his breath, watching two Japanese soldiers with a military dog get closer and closer, until they were less than 30 meters away, and the military dog barked wildly at the rock.

Tang Xu stood up abruptly and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

A devil fell to the ground in response.

Click!

Pulling the bolt, he aimed at the second devil who hadn't reacted yet and pulled the trigger!

Bang!

After the second devil fell, the military dog that had been restrained lunged over.

Tang Xu pulled out the dagger at his waist, watched the military dog lunging to bite, and stabbed it with one knife; Tang Xu was also bitten by the military dog.

Fortunately, although the winter cotton clothes were not thick, they could withstand a bit.

Tang Xu exerted force in his hand; the military dog felt the sharp pain and bit even more crazily. Tang Xu couldn't control it and rolled to the side, the man and the dog rolling into a ball. However, Tang Xu didn't have time to kill this military dog, so he seized the opportunity and threw it away abruptly.

Throwing the military dog away.

Then he climbed up and quickly ran to the two devil corpses, groped for grenades and ammunition, and grabbed a rifle, immediately wanting to leave.

And the military dog with the dagger stuck in it was about to lunge over again, so Tang Xu stabbed it with the devil rifle bayonet.

Stabbing the military dog again.

Scaring it into retreating, and at this time, the devils from another direction also chased over.

Bang! Bang!

Tang Xu quickly hid behind a tree, then chambered the devil rifle he had just grabbed, and popped his body out.

Bang—!

It didn't hit.

But it also scared the two devils into hiding behind trees. Tang Xu took this opportunity to quicken his pace and run into the depths of the woods.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the replenished ammunition, Tang Xu also began to fight back.

For a time, the sound of mutual shooting in the mountains and forests was constant.

Until evening.

Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

The devil sergeant opposite fell to the ground in response, while Tang Xu also clutched his shoulder, the rifle in his hand falling to the ground, and the noisy sounds around him grew louder.

The main force of the devils had already surrounded him.

Tang Xu took a deep breath and climbed up with difficulty; after a day of Mobile Corps Commander warfare, his physical strength was also exhausted.

The previously captured rifle and bullets were also used up; now he only had three grenades left on him.

Putting the grenade pin on his finger,

He walked toward the north with difficulty; he had to find a place to hide and treat his wounds, otherwise, he wouldn't be killed by the devils, but would bleed out or freeze to death due to lack of physical strength.

But in this situation, it was simply not enough to support Tang Xu in running away.

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky at some point.

The pursuers behind were also getting closer and closer.

But Tang Xu's footsteps were also getting heavier; the wounds were constantly bleeding, soaking his cotton clothes, and were soon frozen by the cold temperature... his body temperature was rapidly losing.

With a thud.

Tang Xu had already fallen to the ground, using his remaining consciousness to press the grenade against his body.

The image before his eyes gradually blurred.

Then he fell into darkness.

Returning to the game's main interface, the various uncomfortable feelings instantly disappeared. Tang Xu immediately woke up, looked at the main interface, and sighed:

"Still dead."

"I don't know if the last grenade was useful."

"Pity I can't see it."

As his consciousness blurred, Tang Xu placed his hand with the grenade pin on his finger under his body, wedging the grenade into his clothes.

Once his body was turned over by the devils, the grenade might just explode.

Of course, it's also possible that those devils were extremely careful, and only his corpse was blown up.

But no matter what, he couldn't see it.

Tang Xu sighed:

"Fighting is death, not fighting is also death."

Tang Xu returned to the partition page of Tian Sha Live, looked at those live streams, and said:

"Is there anyone who has persisted until now without dying and restarting?"

"Basically everyone has restarted, right."

No way.

It's just that Japan is doing things too ruthlessly here.

Since 1937, Japan has been implementing "Group Tribes" here, relocating large numbers of people to isolate the Anti-Japanese United Army from the common people.

Coupled with the Empire sweeping through various countries in Europe, Japan is also constantly increasing its troops here.

Now the Anti-Japanese United Army is already moving toward the Soviet border.

Tang Xu looked at the forum for a while and also saw the situation of the Anti-Japanese United Army in other live streams, which was also not optimistic.

But there was no way; individual power is negligible.

After watching for a while, Tang Xu started a new game and chose the faction of the Anti-Japanese United Army.

On the other side.

Also within the Republic region, but here at the Red side base.

Streamer Jiang Xuan, who was randomly assigned the identity of the Red side, was flipping through the game forum, the European news of this period, and the intelligence collected in the game.

Jiang Xuan in the live stream looked at the situation in Europe on the forum and couldn't help but sigh to the Blue Star netizens in the live stream:

"This point in time is really..."

"Too difficult."

The year 1940 is exactly when the Empire is raging in Europe; it just finished blitzing the Polish Federation not long ago and is about to blitz the French Federation.

One can imagine.

Once the French Federation is successfully blitzed.

The situation of the Republic will be even more difficult.

After all, Japan and the Empire are in the same camp; the Empire sweeping through Europe during this period will inevitably bring no small amount of confidence to Japan in the same camp.

That will be the two most difficult years for the Republic.

Not to mention anything else.

According to some discussions seen in the game forum, one can infer the situation in the Northeast region.

Since 1939, the influence brought by the Empire.

Has made Japan constantly increase its troops in the Northeast, multiplying several times in a short period.

The Anti-Japanese United Army, which was originally able to conduct Mobile Corps Commander warfare, is also in an extremely difficult situation, with many troops forced to hide in the Soviet Federation, waiting for a counterattack.

The NPCs in the game naturally don't know the future.

So these two years are also the two most difficult years for all countries on "Earth".

No way.

The Empire of this period is simply too fierce.

Thinking that the Empire will blitz Falanxi in a long time, and then sweep through Europe, I don't know what reaction Japan will have, but I think it will also increase its troops on a large scale.

Because it can be seen from the Northeast region.

It's just that it's currently being held back by the Anti-Japanese United Army and hasn't moved south yet.

And in such an environment.

When the whole world doesn't know how to win, the Red side's "On Protracted War" was born, which inspired many people's confidence for a time. Jiang Xuan was chatting with the friends in the live stream,

When he suddenly received an order for battle.

Soon the unit he was in set off, and Jiang Xuan also understood the ins and outs of the matter, explaining to the Blue Star netizens in the live stream: "Now in the Republic, the national sentiment for resistance is low."

"It's mainly influenced by Europe; after all, from the perspective of people standing in this era, it's a feeling of complete despair, not knowing how to win."

"Currently, within the Blue side, there are many voices of the surrender faction, which has affected the domestic situation."

"The Red side, in order to break the little devils' blockade and boost the people's confidence, decided to launch a large-scale raid."

"We are currently going to destroy the railways occupied by the little devils."

Jiang Xuan said this, not knowing at the time.

This battle was later called the Hundred Regiments Offensive...,
