The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 249: Getting Rid of the Japs
However, this bad-tempered Guo Guizi could no longer run.

"Don't run away. I think these bastards are..."

Jiang Cheng first quickly glanced behind him, then quickened his pace to catch up with Guo Maochen and grab him.

But before he could utter the second half of the sentence, Guo Maochen seemed to have exhausted his strength and leaned against a big tree, suddenly losing his strength.

"Mao Chen!"

Almost without losing his voice, Jiang Cheng quickly embraced him and carefully helped him to sit on a fallen rotten tree not far away.

"Don't move, let me check it for you!"

Knowing that this stubborn donkey would not easily agree to help check his injuries, Jiang Cheng held his shoulders tightly without saying anything.

Following the blood flow from his arm all the way to his shoulder blade, Jiang Cheng found his injury without much effort.

Fortunately.

The injured part was on the right arm. It should be a damn bullet that went through his skin at an angle, leaving him with a deep longitudinal wound.

"It's not serious, but it will definitely need stitches."

As he said this, his blood was still gushing out, and looking at it from a close distance, the speed was so fast that it made one's scalp tingle.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head and quickly untied the leg wraps on his calves. Although he had changed into casual clothes, he still carefully wrapped his legs to deal with these emergencies.

He had served in the army in the 21st century and had received a lot of modern first aid training: he quickly took the rope and neatly wrapped it around his joints and tied a knot, and soon the bleeding was temporarily stopped.

"Who did you learn this from?"

Guo Maochen raised his eyes, his amber pupils were still filled with intense shock even in this dim environment.

Jiang Cheng did not answer, but looked up and quickly patrolled the dense forest.

It was very dark, but luckily he had a flashlight with him. He carefully searched along the bushes and soon he found a plant that looked a lot like celery growing in the cracks of the rocks. The tiny white flowers swayed in the cool breeze, which made him very happy!
It is windproof.

This is a common herbal medicine. One of its most important medicinal effects is that it can stop bleeding and reduce swelling, and it has the effect of preventing tetanus in the early stages.

He quickly ran over and picked the white flower of the windproof plant, and Jiang Cheng immediately chewed the whole herb into his mouth.

There is a salivary enzyme in human saliva. In addition to helping digestion, it can also play a certain role in disinfection and hemostasis. This is why people can apply some saliva after being bitten by mosquitoes;
Or the reason why you can suck it out with your mouth when you have a minor bleeding... This is not without scientific basis.

Moreover, if the herbs are applied directly on the skin, they will not have any effect, so he can only chew the herbs into residue first.

The fangfeng was not very bitter. On the contrary, it had a slightly sweet taste when chewed. However, the aftertaste was very spicy, making his tongue feel numb and pungent.

He resisted the urge to sneeze and continued chewing carefully, fearing that some of the medicine juice or residue would enter his stomach.

Damn you, Guo Guizi, if you hadn't followed me this time to live and die together and to pass the Japanese checkpoints together, I wouldn't have bothered with you!
After taking a look at Guo Maochen who looked listless due to blood loss, Jiang Cheng trotted back, spit the medicine in his mouth into his hand and applied it to him.

"hiss……"

The moment the medicine touched his skin, he trembled slightly, but still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Who did you learn this from?"

He actually asked again, Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and made up something like "I studied with Lang in my hometown" to respond.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his tongue went numb, and the words he spoke were so stammering that it was hard to hear clearly. The strange sound of the big tongue even amused Guo Maochen, who always had a stern face. Jiang Cheng glared at him and spat on the ground:

"Ah, bah, bah, bah... Damn, isn't it all for saving you? My tongue..."

Looking at him, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You! Okay, okay, the bleeding has stopped, the wound has been treated with medicine, you should quickly meet up with Han Qing and the others!"

Knowing that he would not ask any more questions, Jiang Cheng nodded calmly and turned his gaze to look into the distance:
The forest was deeper and larger than he had imagined - it was completely dark at this time and he could not tell the direction by shining a flashlight.

"What should we do? We didn't leave any marks just now, so we're running around in case the enemy catches up with us."

The sweat on Jiang Cheng's body soon dissipated completely due to the gradually dropping temperature. "If we can't find a way out, we're going to die in this damn place!"

Guo Maochen shook his head and snatched the flashlight from him.

He first squatted on the ground with difficulty to observe for a while, then felt his way along the tree trunk - Jiang Cheng knew that he was using the lighting in the forest to determine the direction.

But the biggest problem now is not finding the direction, but that even if they know the direction, they don’t know where to go.

"Remember what I taught you?"

Guo Maochen held the tree trunk and stood up straight, smiling at him, "As long as we look for the trees according to their growth years, we can leave the forest as soon as possible."

It turned out that he was not looking for a direction, but was looking for the year of growth of the trees.

The older the trees are, of course, the thicker they are, and the closer to the center of the forest, the older the trees are.

Especially in the forests of the north, which lack the denser lowland vegetation such as vines in the south, the possibility of successfully finding the way out is greater.

Both of them are veterans with many years of service and have some ability to survive in the wild.

While carefully paying attention to any movements and watching out for any Japanese following them, the two men quickly walked out of the woods.

After walking for almost two hours, they successfully left the woods.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they both heard singing in the distance at the same time.

Jiang Cheng's heart trembled, and he quickly turned his shocked gaze to Guo Maochen beside him.

The latter also heard it and immediately turned off the flashlight in his hand.

If I heard it correctly, this song is called "Senbonzakura", a Japanese song from the Taisho Emperor period. The lyrics are weird and seem to be satirizing their boss Yoshihito, but it is so popular that everyone can sing it, including many members of the Kwantung Army.

"Damn it, the ghost is still there."

Jiang Cheng cursed inwardly, and his eyes quickly scanned the open space outside the forest:
Damn, it's an eye-catcher...

Facing a bonfire, a dozen or so short-legged and big-bellied Japanese guys took off all their clothes and wrapped themselves in their stinky loincloths.

In addition to the arrogant singing, they were roasting fish and pheasants with branches, and there was constant singing and laughter.

"Let's go up there and shoot a few of them each."

Jiang Cheng looked around again, and when he confirmed that there were no other Japanese soldiers, he whispered, "Fight and then run away. Who can react?"

Guo Maochen objected: "No! There must be a village here. If we kill them, the villagers nearby will die."
