Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

The moon was high in the sky, and the moonlight seemed colder than before.

Two figures walked through the mountains, more cautious than before. However, the environment here was much better than the snowfield, with many large trees and rocks to provide cover.

After walking about seven or eight miles, Gu Dayong was a little out of breath, and Zhou Rui suggested that they take a break.

"We're getting old. If we were young, we could run for a whole day and night without stopping."

Gu Dayong took off his backpack, leaned against a huge rock, and said that he was getting old, but in his heart he was very unwilling to admit that he was old.

"Not at all, you're still as vigorous as ever. We've run so far tonight and captured two enemies along the way, a little rest won't hurt."

Zhou Rui spoke sincerely; he greatly admired the older generation's spirit of hard work and perseverance, as if nothing could defeat them.

"Haha, it's nothing, just dealing with two vagrants." Gu Dayong laughed heartily.

"By the way, Xiao Rui, you dislocated those two's joints, are you alright? We don't want them to die there if we get back too late."

"It's alright. It's only half a day, we won't die. If something happens to us, then they don't need to live either, they can be considered to have been buried with us."

Zhou Rui was completely indifferent; he didn't care about the lives of two criminals at all.

"Alright, with these two men in hand, no matter what happens to your master, I can give the old company commander an explanation."

Zhou Rui turned around, surprised that Gu Dayong had such thoughts; this was something even he hadn't considered.

"However, Xiao Rui, you're wrong about something. We won't get into any trouble. They're just two little devils; they can't possibly be a match for us."

"Hehe, Uncle Dayong is so generous. Then let's have a good fight with those two little devils." Zhou Rui took out a water bottle from his pocket and took a big gulp of wine.

Gu Dayong took the water bottle from Zhou Rui and took a big gulp.

"Alright, then let the Japanese devils see what we, father and son, can do."

As the moon began to set in the west, Zhou Rui and his companion finally saw Camel Mountain, which Nian Gou had mentioned.

Two camel humps rise high, and in the distance there is a lowered head, resembling a deer's head.

Standing in the center, Zhou Rui looked at the two mountains to the east and west, which were not far from him. He immediately activated his sixth sense and finally discovered two lives inside the western mountain.

Zhou Rui stroked his chin. "Found it already? It wasn't difficult at all. I just don't know if this cave is natural or man-made?"

"Ruiwa, come here and take a look. Is this a trap set by the Japanese?"

Zhou Rui looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Dayong standing in front of him. The ground in front of him was somewhat collapsed, and cold light was shining out from inside.

Zhou Rui stepped forward, squatted down, reached in, and lifted a lid. A large pit was revealed, inside which were rows of bayonets, their tips gleaming coldly.

"It seems to be a truly dangerous trap. The fact that it's set up right in the middle of the road shows it wasn't intended for wild animals. Those Japanese devils are truly wicked."

"Ruiwa, you're still too young. Those Japanese devils, of course they're all malicious; there aren't any good ones among them."

"No matter how vicious they are, they're still in our hands. Let's go, we'll go arrest these two right now."

As Zhou Rui spoke, he bypassed the trap and headed towards the western hilltop.

"Hey, Xiao Rui, why are we going that way? Should we explore further?"

Zhou Rui didn't even turn his head.

"Didn't Uncle Dayong say I was lucky? I have a feeling the Japanese are right there, I can't be wrong."

"You were lucky, but scouting the enemy is no child's play!"

The two walked forward, chatting and laughing. Gu Dayong was just joking; after all, they had to investigate both the eastern and western peaks, and it was only a matter of order which one to investigate first.

With Zhou Rui's perception abilities, finding the Japanese stronghold would be no problem at all.

Two people were squatting outside the cave entrance, which didn't look like an entrance or exit, clearly indicating that some disguise had been made.

But after the Japanese soldiers had been coming and going for so long, the traces were extremely obvious.

"Let's split up and see if there's another way, so the Japanese devils can't escape."

Gu Dayong was very confident. He never thought that the enemy was uncapable. He was only afraid that the Japanese would escape and all his efforts would be in vain.

"Okay." Zhou Rui had no objections, since he could sense that the two people were still obediently staying inside.

Zhou Rui and his companion, guns in hand, separated and walked slowly. There were too many rocks here; if they weren't careful, a rock could easily roll down, causing a huge commotion.

The moon is gradually setting below the treetops, and soon we may be entering the darkest hour before dawn.

By the moonlight, Zhou Rui gently stepped onto the stone, and only after feeling that he had a firm foothold did he put his other foot on it.

Jingle Bell……

A series of ringing sounds came from Gu Dayong's side, and then one after another, echoing throughout the entire space.

Damn it, we weren't careful enough. I never expected that after all these years, the Japanese would still be so cautious and even have early warning systems in place.

Zhou Rui quickly stopped and swayed his head from side to side, searching for a suitable shooting position.

Gu Dayong was the same.

This is a place the Japanese are familiar with. Now that we've already alerted them, we can't go any closer.

Zhou Rui lay motionless on the ground, the muzzle of his gun pointed at the exit he had found.

However, he sensed that the two life forms inside the cave were not heading towards the location he expected.

After a while, the two auras stopped at two different locations. Zhou Rui looked over with his gun but only saw two stone walls and nothing else.

A few minutes later, Zhou Rui felt a chill and rolled to the left, gun and all.

Flames shot out from the stone wall, a bullet exploded where Zhou Rui had just been standing, and then a gunshot rang out.

"Damn, it's a firing port. These Japanese soldiers have amazing eyesight."

Zhou Rui couldn't help but spit. Then he retreated backward using both hands and feet, finally getting behind the rock.

There was no movement from Gu Dayong's side, it seems the Japanese only found his location.

After waiting for a few minutes, the moon finally set, plunging the entire earth into darkness, so dark that you couldn't even see your own fingers spread wide.

Zhou Rui hardened his heart and decided to go all out.

Anyway, through long-term observation, I have memorized all the terrain from myself to the entrance, so whether there is a light source or not doesn't matter.

Zhou Rui slung his rifle over his shoulder and slipped out from behind the rock.

Sure enough, no gunshots were heard, and the two people in the cave did not move.

Now, both sides are blind, and it remains to be seen who will gain the upper hand before sunrise.

But Zhou Rui couldn't wait. He quickly weaved through the boulders on the slope, carrying many loose stones that rolled down the mountainside.

"Ruiwa, don't be impulsive. Let's talk about it when it's light."

Gu Dayong shouted. He probably thought the young man was hot-tempered and had gotten angry after being ambushed by the enemy.

Zhou Rui didn't respond and continued running forward. He didn't know if the enemy had the ability to locate objects by sound, but he dared not gamble.

Da da da……
