Devil's Army

After a night's sleep, the children regained their spirits and started walking and jumping again.

The team leader led everyone to continue their journey. He couldn't feel at ease until they returned to the tribe for a day.

The team member in charge of the rear guard quietly caught up with the team leader half an hour after they had left.

After walking for another hour, there were more and more people on the road.

This place is already under the jurisdiction of the First Army, and soldiers from the army come here to patrol from time to time.

The squad leader led everyone to move forward. Before they had gone far, they saw a patrol squad of the First Army coming towards them.

The squad leader saluted the squad leader and continued walking forward.

"Okay, we have reached the territory of our army. Let's take a break before continuing on our journey."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. The fear and worry along the way were finally over.

The adults sat together to rest, while the children were full of energy and ran around everywhere, forcing the adults to check on their children from time to time.

The team leader asked the team members to stand in different corners and keep a vigilant eye on the people passing by.

The winter sun makes people feel warm all over, and many adults fall asleep in the sun.

"Okay, let's get ready and continue our journey." The team leader shouted.

The adults called their children over and prepared to leave.

"Lao Zhang, where are Xiaoxia and Qiangsheng?" Lao Zhang's wife pushed Lao Zhang awake while looking into the crowd.

Old Zhang shuddered, opened his eyes and looked around.

The children of other colleagues were all clinging to their parents, packing their bags and getting ready to leave, but his child was nowhere to be seen.

Lao Zhang also became anxious and shouted, "Weren't you watching them just now?"

"I was watching them, but I don't know when I fell asleep in the sun." Lao Zhang's wife was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

Lao Zhang rushed to the squad leader and said anxiously, "Captain, both of my children are missing."

"When did it happen?" The squad leader was also anxious.

"Just now you asked us to rest for a while before continuing our journey. My wife was looking after the children, but somehow she fell asleep. When you told us to hurry on, we found that both children were missing."

"Don't worry," the squad leader comforted Lao Zhang, and then called on everyone:

"The older ones stay where they are and look after the children, and the younger ones gather around me. Lao Zhang's child is missing, so let's split up and look for him."

They were all workers in the same factory, and when they heard that Zhang's child was missing, they were all very anxious. Except for a few elderly adults, everyone else gathered around the team leader.

The team leader divided the five special forces members, workers and family members into five teams, each searching in a different direction. The six elderly family members stayed behind to look after the children.

At this time, the soldiers from the First Army patrol squad who had walked over earlier turned back.

The squad leader saw the squad leader's anxious look and guessed that something might have happened, so he hurried forward and asked:

"Hello, bro, what happened?"

"You came over there, did you see the two children? Male..." The team leader suddenly turned around and asked Master Zhang:

"Mr. Zhang, how old is your child?"

"Oh, the boy is six years old and the daughter is eight years old." After saying this, Master Zhang looked at the patrol leader with eager eyes.

The patrol squad leader thought for a while and replied:

"We did see a few children, but they were all accompanied by their parents. We didn't see any children on their own."

"Did you see any children with unnatural expressions, such as those who were abducted by the Japanese?" the squad leader asked the squad leader.

"Isn't this already the First Army's defense zone? How come there are still devils here?"

"This is indeed our defense zone. There won't be a large number of Japanese invaders here, but there will definitely be Japanese spies infiltrating here."

When Master Zhang and his wife heard what the squad leader said, they were terrified and looked at the patrol leader.

The monitor thought for a moment and answered decisively:

"No, those children get along well with the adults. You can tell at a glance that they are a family."

"Okay, there's no need to search for the road to Fengtian. Just go in this direction..."

The team leader divided everyone into five teams, each responsible for searching a small area.

He and Master Zhang and his wife were responsible for searching the area on the left, which was close to the mountains and was the most likely place for children to get lost.

The patrol team also participated in the search for Master Zhang's child. The team leader and Master Zhang and his wife searched the mountain while shouting anxiously:

"Xiaoxia, Johnson..." But there was no response.

Master Zhang's wife couldn't help crying softly.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Mrs. Zhang suddenly saw several beautiful ice flowers blooming in front of her, and there seemed to be two children lying beside them.

Mrs. Zhang ran towards the two children like crazy, and Master Zhang and the team leader followed closely.

"Xiaoxia, Qiangsheng?" Mrs. Zhang pushed Xiaoxia and Qiangsheng in panic.

Xiaoxia and Qiangsheng rubbed their sleepy eyes.

When Xiaoxia saw her mother coming over, she happily handed over the icicle flower in her hand and said to her mother, "Mom, look, what a beautiful flower!"

Mrs. Zhang was crying with joy while holding her two children. However, Master Zhang broke off a branch from the side and was about to hit the children, but was stopped by the squad leader.
