"Chief Commander, two divisions of the Tiger Guards are counting their equipment and seem to be about to leave." He Cheng ran over quickly and said in a hurried tone.

Zhang Xinli looked over and was slightly stunned. He saw soldiers gathering quickly outside the dilapidated ruins in the west of the city.

In just a short while, a team of several thousand people had gathered, and the number of people was still increasing rapidly. It was a black mass, stretching very long under the setting sun.

Zhang Xinli couldn't help but think about it.

"Gu Shan? That's not right..." Zhang Xinli rushed to the west of the city, stood on the broken wall, and watched silently.

"No, this is not the direction to go to Gushan. The closest one is Savage Mountain."

Zhang Xinli was full of confusion. The Huben Army came from Tuoshan, marched from south to north, and did not enter Tengzhong City.

There was also some black stuff smeared on the soldier's face, which looked like dirt, but also had colorful colors, like unrefined petroleum.

Several soldiers were carrying large pots, some were wearing aprons and carrying food bags, and some were carrying things like medical kits.

It can be said that the entire team is not only well-equipped, but also extremely rich.

Looking at the preparations of each soldier, it was obvious that they were preparing to enter the forest. Zhang Xinli seemed to have thought of something, his pupils slightly dilated, and shock appeared in his eyes.

"They are going to Savage Mountain!" Zhang Xinli blurted out.

"Savage Mountain." He Cheng's face was shocked and his pupils dilated slightly.

These three words were not unfamiliar to them. That was the place that no one in their expeditionary force wanted to mention. It was the place of death that they had no choice but to enter after being betrayed by the foreigners.

But now that the Huben Army had taken Tengzhong, they had obviously arranged a troop to go to the Wild Man Mountain, which made him look worried.

Thinking back on those unbearable things, he still feels extremely angry. Among the more than 40,000 people, only more than 3,000 returned from the Savage Mountain.

It can be said that this place is a forbidden area for their expeditionary force.

Mosquitoes, plagues, deep primitive valleys where the sun cannot be seen, and primeval forests without any roads, according to the soldiers who returned.

It is said that a small wound in Savage Mountain would fester into palm-sized rotten flesh the next day, followed by amputation, and then death in pale despair.

All the wounded who retreated into the Savage Mountains died in the deserted place.

The most important thing is that it is summer now, and there is constant drizzle there all year round, with heavy rain falling every now and then. The feet of many people who return home are almost completely rotten.

It's hot and humid, and there are even wild animals. It can be said that it is not a place for people to stay.

When Zhang Xinli thought of this, his eyes were solemn.

"Wild Man Mountain..." Zhang Xinli looked at the scar on the back of his hand that looked like a burn. He had crawled out of the Wild Man Mountain.

He still remembers those soldiers who got lost and went crazy and ended their lives with guns.

I can't sleep at night and I can't eat during the day.

On the road to death, the torture on people's willpower is the most terrifying. In the forest, no one can be seen during the day, and you can't see your fingers at night. The darkness can infinitely magnify the fear in people's hearts.

If he were given another chance to choose, he would never retreat to Savage Mountain even if he died. He believed that the warriors who died in Savage Mountain would do the same as him.

Just when Zhang Xinli was stunned, a voice sounded beside him, making him turn around immediately. Seeing Chu Yunfei of the 4th Division of the Huben Army and Luo Xuhui of the 5th Division appear, he subconsciously straightened his body.

"Chief Engineer Zhang, we have a mission to accomplish and we hope your army can assist us at Tuoshan Airport." Chu Yunfei said straight to the point.

The 30th Division helped them capture Tengzhong. They were a real team that fought against the Japanese devils. They held the place for many days and never slacked off in their attacks.

Chu Yunfei and Luo Xuhui have a good impression of Zhang Xinli.

"You two, Savage Mountain is not a wise choice. All 4 of our men died there..." Zhang Xinli said in a worried tone.

Yeren Mountain is more than 3,000 meters above sea level and is more than 200 kilometers long.

Zhang Xinli knew that this might be a strategic arrangement of the Huben Army. The most likely purpose of going through the Wild Man Mountain was to head to Wa City. After all, they wanted to retreat from there in the first place.

The Wild Man Mountain is located in the area north of Diandi, and is called a restricted area by the locals. He has been there before, and he really doesn't want to die in that deserted place.

Chu Yunfei and Luo Xuhui looked at each other, and although their eyes were solemn, they still shook their heads:

"This is the strategy of our headquarters." After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he looked behind him and saw the 4th and 5th Divisions which had also assembled.

"We're leaving first..." After Chu Yunfei gave a brief explanation, he said goodbye.

Time is running out. The First Division is still holding on there, and the Fourth and Fifth Divisions must arrive as soon as possible.

"Chief Commander, this may be Lin Jun's strategy, to pass through the Wild Man Mountain and encircle the Valley Mountain." He Cheng glanced at the troops heading towards the Wild Man Mountain, and then looked at the two divisions that were preparing to leave.

His eyes were full of burning heat.

Zhang Xinli did not respond. He looked up and saw that the sun had set and the night was beginning to cover the earth.

The breeze blew, and the swaying of the trees made the mountains seem to shake. The rustling sound brought his thoughts to the day when his palm was swollen after being bitten by an unknown mosquito.

During that day and a half, Zhang Xinli was in despair. Death kept haunting him. He waited from dusk till night, and the howling of wild beasts in the darkness irritated his nerves.

After a sleepless night, Zhang Xinli's pupils were bloodshot and his spirit was almost broken. Like everyone else, he pointed the gun at his head at dawn.

He was found by an expeditionary force that was also lost in the forest.

They set out on the journey home together, until he saw the old leader who had been looking for herbs for him under an old tree. His right hand was tightly grasping the unknown herb, his chest had long been hollowed out by unknown beasts, and his skin was eaten by insects...

The memory that Zhang Xinli will never forget in his life has always been hidden deep in his heart.

It was a forbidden area that he didn't even want to look at, but now there was a troop that resolutely decided to step into the primeval forest.

Savage Mountain and Valley Mountain, in different directions, gradually disappeared from their sight.

"The Third Brigade will assist the Tiger Army at Tuoshan Airport, and the rest of the units will assemble." Zhang Xinli thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Yes!"
