Chapter 7 Chapter 6 The Last Jungle

In a rage, he took off the command knife from the wall, put it on the woman's neck, and said ferociously, "I'm going to kill you!" The woman didn't move, she didn't even hide for a moment, she was still looking at him with cold hatred.Maezono Shinsho felt a sense of sadness. It is not difficult to conquer the land of a country, but it is really difficult to conquer a nation.He couldn't even conquer the Burmese woman in front of him, so he talked about conquering the Burmese nation. "Baga—" he cursed again, and the saber pierced the Burmese woman's belly. That beautiful, young Burmese woman, with her eyes wide open, was still looking at him with such hatred.

Since then, wherever he went, he had to possess a Burmese woman, and then let the orderly officer secretly kill them.He was still pissed off by doing so.It wasn't until the Burmese woman carried out an unsuccessful assassination on him that he woke up completely—he would never be able to conquer the Burmese woman, and the Japanese would never be able to conquer the Burmese nation. As soon as he entered the jungle, nightmares accompanied him.As soon as he closes his eyes and falls into a dream, bloody scenes float before his eyes, first those naked Burmese women with their intestines leaking out, they approach him step by step, they hate and are angry His eyes surrounded him, and he wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound.As a result, I woke up with a start, a nightmare and sweating.

The woman disappeared in the dream, and then it was replaced by those Burmese rebels. The Burmese rebels died under the guns of the British army. They were all bloody and bloody. They threatened him with knives and guns. They cursed: "Damn it!" Japanese, you lied to us!" He woke up again. Next, there were those Chinese soldiers. The Chinese soldiers rushed towards him with shouts. They stabbed him with bayonets and stabbed the soldiers under him... Nightmares came one after another, and after he entered the jungle, he was haunted by such terrible nightmares.His spirit has been broken, and he no longer expects to get out of this jungle by himself.So what if you go out? Find your own troops, and then there will be endless massacres, bloody massacres, both the enemy and us will either die or die, or kill everyone and occupy all the land, but If they can't conquer their souls, their souls will come to haunt him every night, making him restless.All of this means a kind of nothingness.

The jungle and the nightmare completely shattered the emperor's jihad spirit of Maezono's true sage. He was as hungry and fatigued as the living. When the soldiers were secretly eating the dead, he also seemed to be enchanted, irresistible, and secretly devoured the corpses of the dead soldiers like everyone else.Instinct made him do this, and he also wanted to live. Whenever he finished eating the corpses of his comrades-in-arms, he would hide in a place where no one was around and cry aloud, and then slapped himself severely, and the slaps rang in his ears, one after another, until he did something Can't hear it either.It seems that only by torturing himself like this can he get a little comfort in his heart.Will the dead soldier forgive him?

When he ate human flesh, he thought he must be crazy.But he saw that he was awake again from Lieutenant Sasaki's eyes.Sasaki is really crazy, the crazy Sasaki is shaking in front of his eyes, from his eyes, Maezono Masho can see that Sasaki is wanting to eat a living person, even wants to eat him Maezon Masho, and then eat Koyama Zhili, eat that soldier, and finally eat herself alive. Maestro Maezono really wanted to kill Sasaki with a single knife. If he didn't kill Sasaki, Sasaki would eat them all sooner or later.Ever since Sasaki secretly killed the wounded soldier, Maezono Masho had had this idea.

He knew that Sasaki's crazy behavior of killing and eating people was all due to the fact that the jungle had made them desperate.It is this sense of despair that makes him return to his animal side, how terrible people are! After Sasaki killed the wounded soldier Koyama Ichiro, he also sneaked over and snatched Koyama Ichiro's bones with Koyama Zhili and the two soldiers.Madness turned them into vicious dogs, and he didn't fully wake up until he returned to the place where he had just lain after eating the last bite.What is the difference between the actions just now and Sasaki? They are no different from Sasaki, including Xiaoshan Zhili.

His feelings for Xiaoshan Zhili are extremely complicated. At first he regarded Xiaoshan Zhili as his sister, a child who has not grown up, an immature child who walked into the war, which made him feel a little sad.Later, Xiaoshan Zhili's dedication moved him. Xiaoshan Zhili's dedication was full of passion and sense of mission, which made him truly fall in love with this somewhat crazy girl.At that time, their thoughts and whole bodies and minds also merged together. Until he walked into the jungle, Xiaoshan Zhili dedicated his passion and sense of mission to the soldiers unreservedly. This move shocked him again. invested.Koyama Zhili's actions made him dumbfounded, and he understood that what Koyama Zhili loved was not him, but the jihad launched by the emperor.The Japanese girl in front of him made him feel incredible.Little by little, the love and tenderness he had accumulated for Xiaoshan Zhili disappeared in his heart.In his eyes, Koyama Zhili is just a military prostitute, an ordinary military prostitute.

Xiaoshan Zhili willingly comforted the soldiers in despair time and time again, and he tried hard to avoid her passionate cry, which was the same way when she dedicated herself to him in the past, but at that time, he regarded all these as hers. Love. Once the love for Xiaoshan Zhili is lost, Xiaoshan Zhili is just a void in his eyes, a void without content.He despaired of her, disheartened. Jihad got him nothing but death. Where is the way out? seven Gao Jilong and Jim carried Wang Yue and walked staggeringly.Tong Ban's deputy walked behind with Shen Ya on his back, and the distance between them was only a dozen meters.The jungle was still endless, and they walked mechanically and numbly.

It was light and then dark, and it was dark and light again.Day after day, week after week, the jungle seems to be the same as the sun and the moon, and the days of black and white are endless. When they stopped to take a rest, the Japanese who were following behind also sat down unsteadily. For many days, they had lived together in such a friendly and peaceful way.These are soldiers from two enemy teams. They came together in desperation. They are all looking forward to getting out of the jungle as soon as possible. Getting out of the jungle has become their only goal at present. At some point, a strong smell of shame came to the face. Gao Jilong and Jim didn't notice it at first, but the smell became stronger as they walked forward.Even Wang Yue, who was lying drowsy under the stretcher, could smell it.They stopped, Tong Banfu rushed up from behind with Shen Ya on his back, and he also stood still.This smell deeply stimulated them, it was a smell from the world, they hadn't smelled this kind of smell for a long time.The smell awakened their numb nerves.They stopped alertly, and they looked at each other.At this moment, there was a noise in the woods on the left, the noise was loud, and from time to time several trees shook amidst the noise.

Instinct made them clenched the guns in their hands, and finally they saw clearly, a wild boar rushed towards them, it also smelled the smell of humans, and the smell of humans made it excited.Since they entered the jungle, they haven't encountered these big animals, and they don't know how powerful the wild boar is in the jungle. At that moment, they saw the wild boar and mistook it for the game that was sent to them. Jim grunted excitedly, "God, we'll have something to eat now." Then, Jim's gun went off, and the wild boar that was running forward froze for a moment, and slowed down.Gao Jilong's gun also rang, and they clearly saw the bullets hitting the boar's body, and they bounced off one after another.This situation was beyond their expectation. They wondered if the power of their guns was too small, because both Gao Jilong and Jim used pistols. Hit it with a burst."

Deputy Tong Ban had already held the gun in his hand. He was stunned by the situation in front of him, and forgot to shoot for a moment. Gao Jilong reminded him that his gun rang, and he shot very accurately. On the back of the wild boar running forward, it was obvious that the wild boar had been wounded. It stood upright, screamed twice, and opened its mouth, revealing the teeth in the mouth, which were thick and long. Following its howling, the nearby jungle echoed with the howling of its kind, and soon, there were such movements in the jungle in all directions. Their first thought was that they were surrounded by wild boars, a herd of wild boars, neighing and surrounding them from all sides.This group of wild boars had attacked the salt dealers passing by here before, and they hadn't tasted the bloody smell of humans for a long time, and this bloody smell made them excited and crazy. Gao Jilong's first thought was to climb a tree. When he was young, he heard stories about wild boars told by his elders in his hometown in Northeast China. Because wild boars lived in the forest for many years, their bodies were covered with resin. Hard and thick, it is this kind of wild boar that hunters are afraid of when they enter the mountain. Several people cannot deal with a wild boar. Under Gao Jilong's command, they finally climbed the tree. There are many trees, and they don't need to look for them. The branches and branches make it easy for them to climb up.Deputy Tong Ban was the last one to climb the tree, he helped Shen Ya and Wang Yue to the tree, and Gao Jilong supported them on the tree. The wounded wild boar howled again, and the group of wild boars who had been summoned approached them step by step. The gun in Tong Ban's deputy's hand rang again. He stopped shooting at the wild boars, but hit their heads. Blood finally flowed out from the head of a wild boar. The bloody wild boar went crazy. A nearby tree with a bowl-thick mouth rushed forward, as if the tree had provoked it, and the tree shook violently.It didn't let go of its hatred, and bit the tree with its mouth. After a while, the tree fell down, and the group of pigs followed the example of the crazy wild boar, biting the trees around them madly, one after another. A tree was bitten by wild boars and fell down one after another. No one dared to shoot anymore. They knew that shooting would not only be useless, but would annoy wild boars, and they would attack humans even more frantically. Five people curled up on the tree, they were at a loss for what to do with the situation in front of them.A dozen wild boars surrounded them.The strong smell of urine became heavier and heavier, and they finally realized that they had walked into the wild boar den. Seeing the wild boar approaching them little by little, that is to say, once the wild boar approached the tree under their feet, everything would be different. At this moment, behind the wild boars, there was suddenly intensive gunfire. Several people looked up from the trees, and the Japanese soldiers walking behind shot at the wild boars.Even military prostitute Koyama Chiri holds a gun. The wild boars were suddenly attacked from behind, and suddenly lost their position. They turned their heads together and rushed towards their attackers. This sudden change also surprised the five people on the tree, none of them expected that the Japanese would help them at such a time. While shooting at the retreating wild boar, Gao Jilong loudly ordered the Tongban deputy: "Hit it, what are you still doing?" The deputy Tong's gun also fired. They shot on the tree for a while, then jumped under the tree, and approached the wild boar little by little. When the gun rang, the Japanese walking behind were really taken aback.At first, they thought they were attacked by the Chinese, and they fell to the ground all of a sudden.After staying for a while, they found that the Chinese did not shoot at them, but encountered wild boars, and they let go of their hanging hearts.They observed the development of the situation from a distance. When they found that they encountered a herd of wild boars instead of a wild boar, Maestro Qianyuan understood that they, like the Chinese, had encountered a common enemy. If the Chinese could not get out, they They couldn't get out of the wild boar's nest either. Several Chinese people were eaten by wild boars, and the group of wild boars would come to them looking for scents.Mason Maeson thought, at such a time, he should help the Chinese no matter what. Helping the Chinese is helping himself.Thinking of this, he gave the order to attack from behind the wild boar. Sasaki was reluctant at first, he didn't want to help the Chinese. Qianyuan Zhensheng scolded: "Baga, if the Chinese can't go out, we can't go out either!" Later, Sasaki obeyed the order of Maezono Masho, and he led a soldier to go around behind the wild boar. As a result, the gunshot rang out. The wild boars retreated into the jungle one after another. "Withdraw!" After Gao Jilong finished speaking, he carried Wang Yue on his back and walked forward quickly. Deputy Tong Ban followed closely behind, and Jim retreated while shooting. Seeing that the Chinese had withdrawn, the Japanese also followed and ran towards this side.They knew that if they didn't leave here quickly, the consequences would be disastrous if the sober wild boars surrounded them again. At the moment of desperation and danger, they showed a strong desire to survive, and their speed was incredible. It wasn't until they ran a distance and another distance that the smell of urine emanating from the wild boar's nest gradually faded away. They fell down and lay down in the grass, panting desperately. The Japanese were always inseparable from them, and when they saw the Japanese, they were also lying on the grass and panting. This is a pair of enemies, together defeated the other enemy.They were finally out of danger. Eight After the jungle gave the two groups a false alarm, it regained its former silence. The Chinese were ahead, the Japanese were behind, and the jungle was still boundless and out of reach. The Tong Ban deputy seemed to have exhausted his last bit of physical strength, he walked a few steps with Shen Ya behind his back, and was about to stop to take a breather.No matter what, Shen Ya would never let Tong Banfu carry her away again. Tong Banfu felt that as long as he had breath, he would carry Shen Ya on his back.Shen Ya begged: "Brother Tong, just help me." Tong Ban said nothing, and squatted in front of Shen Ya as usual, but this time Shen Ya didn't lay down on his back again, and Shen Ya had tears in her eyes He choked up and said, "If I'm not allowed to go by myself, I'll never go again." Helpless, Tong Ban supported Shen Ya, and the two of them staggered forward hand in hand.After walking for a certain distance, they will trip over the branches under their feet. As long as one person falls, the other person will be dragged down. After falling down, they will get up again. The two of them are gasping for breath. It's the other person's gasp and your own gasp. "Tong... big... brother... I don't want... to leave..." Shen Ya said intermittently. Deputy Tong Ban wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.Shen Ya has said this countless times.He knew that Shen Ya was afraid of dragging him down, so he asked him to leave her and go alone.This is absolutely impossible for him, those female soldiers have left him one after another, he can't lose Shen Ya in the end, he has thought over and over again in his heart, he and Shen Ya will go on together, they will die To die together, he couldn't leave Shen Ya alone.If Shen Ya hadn't been on this journey, maybe he would have lost his spiritual support long ago, and would never be able to go on. He didn't think about what would happen when he walked out of the jungle, he only thought about what was in front of him, that is, as long as he still had breath, he would protect Shen Ya.In order to survive, he desperately chewed on leaves and grass stalks, his tongue and mouth were stained green by grass juice, It has long been numb, but he still chews, the rough leaves and grass stalks make his esophagus ache, and his stomach hurts from time to time because he cannot digest these grass leaves, but he still keeps Chewing, he firmly believed that whatever he ate would give him strength. For some reason, there are fewer and fewer wild fruits in the jungle. Sometimes I can’t see one or two wild fruits after walking for several days. Maybe I missed the ripening season of the fruits, and they fell from the branches to the ground one after another. The ground is rotten, and there are only late fruits, and they can occasionally see some here and there. The two were walking, and they fell together again, and the two struggled to get up. At this moment, they saw a few red fruits shining attractively in a bush of thorns not far ahead. with.If they didn't fall down at this time, it would be difficult to see the few late-ripening red fruits.Gao Jilong and Jim carried Wang Yue forward ten meters away. The few red fruits excited the two of them. "Fruit," she said. "It's fruit," he said. The two of them didn't know where the strength came from, they stood up quickly, and walked towards the thorn bushes together, getting closer, getting closer, and they could pick off those tempting thorn bushes just by stretching out their hands. fruit.But when they took a step forward, their feet stepped on the air, and they fell, falling into the abyss of death.They only had time to yell together, and they didn't know anything after that. Hearing the cries of the two people, Gao Jilong realized that something happened to Deputy Tong Ban and Shen Ya.He put down the stretcher and ran towards this side. At a distance of more than ten meters, he fell down several times.Jim came over too.When they got closer, they realized that the two of them had fallen into a deep hole. If they didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find the hole. The hole was covered by thorn bushes, and the evil wild fruits were still dangling on the branches. . Gao Jilong called out the name of Tongban Deputy one after another, there was only a faint echo in the deep hole, and then there was silence.Gao Jilong realized that the two of them could no longer get out of the hole, and Jim stood aside and repeatedly drew the sign of the cross on his chest.Gao Jilong closed his eyes. They saw too much of such a situation along the way. He felt sad for these dead comrades-in-arms, but other than that, what else could he do? He whispered to Jim: "Let's let's go." Jim seemed to understand Gao Jilong's words, and silently followed Gao Jilong to Wang Yue's stretcher. Wang Yue was lying on the stretcher, she understood everything, the five of them were walking together just now, and in a blink of an eye there were only three of them left, she was silently crying for Tong Banfu and Shen Ya. Gao Jilong and Jim walked up to Wang Yue, neither of them said anything, and Wang Yue didn't ask, they walked forward again silently. The scene just now was also seen by Qianyuan Zhensheng who was walking behind. He was walking in the front. When he heard the cry, he only had time to see the thorn bush shake a few times.Next he saw Gojiron and Jim shouting down the bushes.He understood everything. As he passed the thornbush, he saw the black hollow, and he took a breath.He stood by the hole for a moment, and bowed deeply to the hole for the sake of the two Chinese and his own situation. No one has time to express something to the dead here, who knows what is waiting for him ahead.They walked on again. Tong Banfu and Shen Ya didn't die, they passed out in shock.The trap wasn't too deep, and the bottom of the hole was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves on which they didn't really fall. When they awoke, it was pitch black all around.They knew that by this time it was completely dark.The moment they just woke up, they didn't know where they were for a moment, and soon remembered the scene that happened during the day.They can only wait for dawn. Shen Ya leaned over and leaned on Tong Banfu's arm. She said softly, "Brother Tong, are we going to die?" Deputy Tong Ban comforted her and said, "Aren't we still alive?" Then the two of them stopped talking, he hugged her tightly, and she hugged him tightly, and the two hugged so tightly. She said softly again: "Brother Tong, as long as we get out alive, I will marry you, are you willing?" He didn't speak, her words surprised him, he took care of Shen Ya and never expected anything.He just wants to treat every woman like his sister-in-law.He hugged her tightly, and after a long time, two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks. She felt his tears, and found his mouth with her mouth, and the two mouths were tightly stuck together. This was the first kiss in their lives, awkward, blunt and full of bitterness. After a long, long time, they both kissed. He was out of breath, as if he had just climbed a mountain. They hugged each other tightly and fell asleep.At the moment of falling asleep, Tong Ban thought, even if he dies here, this life will be worth it. They awoke again at daybreak, thin light shining through the thorn bushes.Tong Ban's first reaction was that he must climb out of this hole. He found several vines hanging down from the hole to the hole. Climb up these vines and you will go to the outside world.After thinking this way, he squatted in front of Shen Ya and said, "I'll carry you on my back, let's climb up!" Shen Ya obediently climbed onto his back, Tong Banfu stood up, he grabbed the vine, using both hands and feet, failed several times in a row.In the past, let alone carrying one Shen Ya, he could climb up even carrying two Shen Yas.He panted heavily, and Shen Ya said: "Brother Tong, why don't you climb up by yourself first, and you pull me up on it." He felt that what she said made sense, so he panted for a while, grabbed the vine, and climbed up little by little. Finally, he climbed up, grabbed the thorn bush growing at the entrance of the cave, cut his hand, and he He didn't feel any pain, and he saw the hope of surviving.After all this tossing, he had exhausted all his strength.Lying in the grass, he murmured, "Shen Ya, I'm out, I'm out—" He gasped for a while, then climbed up again, stuck his head out and said to Shen Ya in the cave, "You grab the vine and I will pull you." Shen Ya grabbed the vine, and he pulled it hard, little by little, but before he pulled halfway, he let go weakly.He was so weak that he really had no strength at all.He gasped with his mouth open. Shen Ya said in the cave: "Brother Tong, let me try it myself." Shen Ya struggled, but time and time again all her previous efforts were in vain.Once, when the two of them exerted strength together, he almost touched Shen Ya's hand, but Shen Ya still fell down. Both of them had exhausted their strength, and they were panting rapidly from hole to hole. After a long while, Shen Ya said, "Brother Tong—you should go alone, I really can't get up." Tong Banfu knelt there and cried in despair, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Come here, come here—" The forest was silent, and no one answered. The Tong Ban deputy raised his head and shouted in despair: "God, give me some strength." It was dark again without knowing it.Deputy Tong Ban realized that it was impossible to get Shen Ya out of the cave, and their strength was exhausted little by little. Shen Ya said again: "Brother Tong, let's go, I'm not afraid of dying." Shen Ya has said this sentence countless times. Deputy Tong Ban had no choice, he couldn't leave Shen Ya behind, he had no choice but to go into the cave again to meet his beloved Shen Ya, after he finished thinking this way, he closed his eyes and rolled into the cave again. "Brother Tong—" Shen Ya cried and knelt in front of him. "Crying—why are you crying?" Deputy Tong Ban hugged her. The two hugged tightly again. The sky is completely dark, the world is completely dark. The two opened their eyes wide in the darkness. They knew that death was approaching them little by little. They wanted to open their eyes and experience the last ray of time in the world while awake. They hugged and hugged each other forever, and the sun and the moon are eternal. "Brother Tong—" she shouted. "Sister-in-law—" he shouted. They felt the body temperature of the two of them cooling down little by little, and he shouted again with the last bit of strength: "Sister-in-law-wow--" She also shouted: "Tong-da-brother-" The world was completely silent, without a trace of life. Nine Sasaki's eyes were filled with scarlet red, which was flowing blood.His eyes looked again and again at several survivors including Maezono Shinsho.From time to time, he touched the bayonet at his waist, which was still stained with blood, which was the blood of the wounded soldier Koyama Ichiro.Finally, he drew out the bayonet at his waist. He saw the blood condensed on the bayonet. Everything was red. He put the knife under his nose and smelled it greedily. A smell of blood made him so excited. trembling.He started to lick the blood on the knife with his tongue, it was cool and fishy, ​​and his stomach was twitching violently.He took a deep breath, and another.Finally he closed his eyes, he felt the feeling when the knife was inserted into the flesh, everything seemed so full of desire. Desire made him open his eyes, and he saw Xiaoshan Zhili, she was walking almost naked, her pants were so rotten that they could no longer cover her buttocks, and there were clothes, every step forward, Xiaoshan Zhili wanted to Take a breath.Desire made Sasaki approach Xiaoshan Zhili, and he stared at her with greed in his eyes.Sasaki became inexplicably excited. He just pushed lightly with his hand, and Koyama Zhili fell down. She looked at him in puzzlement and fear. She said helplessly, "Sasaki-kun, I have no energy left." Her words made Sasaki more excited, he rushed over, and his body was pressed against her like a hill.She was panting with difficulty, and her face was pale due to poor breathing. She said: "Sa... Sa... Mu... Jun... Let's go, night..." Sasaki didn't listen to her, he tore off the clothes that couldn't cover Xiaoshan Zhili's body, he saw her flesh, her flesh made him passionate, he found his target, she mechanically "Yeah" cried.He felt his flesh inside her.He closed his eyes, and the bloody bayonet appeared in front of his eyes, which had penetrated deeply into her flesh. This feeling made him tremble, and he said in his heart: "Fat, meat, meat... " She shouted mechanically: "Ah... ah... ah..." Maeson Masho and two other soldiers were sitting under a tree resting, they were panting weakly, and no one looked at them, as if nothing had happened. I don't know how long it took, Sasaki got up from Xiaoshan Zhili's body with bloodshot eyes, and while wearing a belt, he staggered towards Qianyuan Zhensheng. Xiaoshan Zhili was still lying there naked, her body fell on the grass like a piece of paper, her weak breathing made her body seem to be shaking slightly. After a long time, she moved, and then moved again, she struggled to sit up, opened her eyes and saw the pile of rags torn from her body beside her.She stood up, her legs softened, and she sat down again. She stopped standing and crawled forward. The strong grass stalks and branches roughly scratched her naked body. She said: "Ah... ah... …ah." Sasaki rushed to Masao Sono and said, "She...can't...it's too late!" Qianyuan Zhensheng glanced at Xiaoshan Zhili who was crawling towards them, and quickly closed his eyes again. Sasaki also said: "The military prostitute is going to die." His tone seemed to be announcing good news. He added: "Oh, she's going to... die!" Xiaoshan Zhili stood up, and she staggered to hold on to a tree, her thin body trembling. Sasaki looked at her in surprise and opened his mouth wide. He felt that Xiaoshan Zhili's behavior was a little unbelievable.He still wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and closed his eyes in despair. When they set off again, Xiaoshan Zhili followed behind staggeringly. Sasaki looked back at her from time to time. She didn't fall down and was still walking forward unsteadily. Her body was unobstructed for a while. Sasaki's eyes were extremely thin. He rushed to Qianyuan Zhensheng and said: "She is about to die, she will not live for two days." A soldier said: "Lieutenant, she will not die, women live longer than men." "Baga!" He scolded the soldier, and the soldier stopped, and quietly distanced himself from Sasaki. Sasaki stopped, he was waiting for Xiaoshan Zhili who was walking behind, and later, they walked together. He said to her, "You are going to die." Koyama Zhili trembled when she heard Sasaki's words. She grabbed a branch stretching in front of her and moved her naked body forward. He added: "You are going to die." Her face became whiter. He added: "You don't have more than two days to live." She stopped and turned to look at him.He saw two tears streaming down her pale cheeks. He said: "We -- are all going to die -- in the service of the Emperor." She closed her eyes. After a long time, she said: "To...the Emperor...to be loyal..." She hugged him suddenly, and they fell together in the grass. "We're all going to die," he said. Later, the two got up again and walked forward. It was finally dark. They lay down carelessly, in the weedy woods. Sasaki was lying very close to Koyama Zhili, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could touch her. In the dark night, Sasaki closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep. The scarlet red appeared in front of his eyes again.His heart was beating wildly.He rolled over, his mouth to her ear. He added: "You are going to die." She opened her eyes and couldn't see anything clearly in the dark. He stretched out his hand and touched the bayonet at his waist, it was a bloody bayonet.He slowly grasped the bayonet in his hand, and then raised it in front of her, touched her hand with the other hand, raised them together, and put her hand on the bayonet. He said, "To serve - the Emperor - with allegiance." Her body trembled, took the bayonet, and he let go of her hand. He is waiting. She didn't move, holding the bayonet tremblingly. He endured. He said, "You're going to die!" After a long time, and another long time, he said, "To be loyal to the emperor!" She withdrew her hand and aimed the bayonet at her chest. She shouted: "Ah... ah... ah..." Then a ray of fishy heat gushed out.He was so excited that he leaned over, hugged her, leaned his head towards her, and trembling when he found the fishy heat in his mouth. He said, "Ho-ho-ho-" Later, he pulled the bayonet out of her chest and carried her cooling body on his shoulders. With her head drooping and her face pressed against his chest, he murmured again: The Emperor is loyal." After finishing speaking, he ran to the depths of the jungle as if flying, shouting happily "Ho-ho-ho-" while running. Maezono Shinsho and two other soldiers woke up in a dream, listening to Sasaki's fading call, and then everything fell silent. Its daybreak. Maezono Shinsho and the two soldiers saw that the place where Sasaki and Koyama Zhili had been lying last night was left with a scarlet and blackened pool of blood. After a long time, and another long time, they stood up unsteadily, and walked forward like sleepwalking. ten The jungle in front gradually thinned out, and occasionally, the long-lost sky overhead appeared again.The sun shines quietly in the woodland, mottled. The moment Gao Jilong saw the sky, he raised his head for a long time, staring at the small sky for so long. Wang Yue and Jim were also staring at the sky, they just stared blankly. Gao Jilong choked up and said, "God—" Wang Yue also said: "It's heaven——" The surprise made Wang Yue stand up, her body shook, and then she threw herself into Gao Jilong's arms. All this did not affect their heads that had been raised all the time, and their eyes stopped in the long-lost sky . They said at the same time: "God—" Then, the two hugged each other tightly, the sky made them see life, and the tears of the two condensed together.Above their heads is their common sky, that is to say, they finally look forward to this day. Jim was also looking at the sky, but there was an unspeakable feeling in his heart.He didn't know what was ahead. They were walking north along the jungle. According to the directions on the map, the north was China.The purpose of his advance is not China, but India.India was his goal, and there he was greeted by British troops.Then, he will rest in India for a while, and then he will return to the beautiful town in the east of England, where he has his relatives and home. In this jungle, he missed his relatives doubly. He once thought desperately: he would never get out of this jungle, he would die here, and everything in the world would leave him. sad.In desperation, he also thought of a happy ending countless times. He walked out of the jungle and returned to a place far away from the war and the jungle. He would never come to Myanmar again.So everything will be fine.It was this spirit that inspired him to go all the way and survive tenaciously. The moment he saw the sky for the first time, he was really happy for a while, but in a blink of an eye, he couldn't be happy anymore. What is the north, and what does it mean to walk out of the jungle? He should be happy for life, but he is not happy at all. Not happy. Gao Jilong and Wang Yue cried and jumped for joy, but Jim was unbelievably calm. On the contrary, a sense of fear enveloped his whole body.Only then did he feel strongly that he was an Englishman.For a while, he even forgot his nationality. At that time, he was a desperate man. Like the Chinese soldiers, or even the Japanese soldiers, what he thought most about was how to survive. Only then did he feel strongly. to how lonely I am.孤独得令他产生了深深的恐惧。 以前他曾暗暗地爱上了王玥，但他同时也知道王玥并不爱他，他仍然用英国人的骑士风度一次次向王玥表达着自己的爱情。他遭到了王玥的反对，同时也受到了高吉龙的痛打，这曾给他的自尊心带来了严重的伤害。现在想起来，这一切并没有什么。 一路上，他感觉到王玥爱的是高吉龙。他从一个男人的角度，发现高吉龙也是爱王玥的，他们的爱情，完全是中国古典式的。这令他心里曾产生过不快，而这一切，现在也没有什么了。 他是个英国人，一个英国指挥官，他扮演的虽是一个小角色，但他也明白，英国人在这场战斗中扮演的角色太不光彩了，如果英国人把中国远征军视为友军，战争的局面完全是另外一个样子。可当初，英国人既想利用中国人，又害怕中国人，也就是说，英国人同时把日本人和中国人同时看成了是自己的敌人，于是便有了这样的局面。 也是当初，他作为一个英籍顾问来到中国部队中间，他的宗旨并不是想帮助中国人打赢这场战争，而是让他来控制这支中国部队。善良的中国人无可奈何地接受了英方的条件，可当他走进中国部队时，他就发现自己是个不受欢迎的人。按照中国军队入缅前与英方签订的协议，中国军队入缅以后，一切供给将由英方提供，那时，他控制着中国这支部队，他同时也是优越的。中国士兵虽然对他存在敌视情绪，但他并不把这种情绪当回事。 可如今一旦他们走进丛林，他便不能不在乎这种目光和态度了。那时他已是一无所有的逃难者，和普通的中国士兵一样。部队走进了绝境一切都缘于英国人的所做所为。要不是高吉龙制止，他吉姆早就成为中国士兵的枪下鬼了。值得庆幸的是，他一直活到了最后，可现在却是怎样一番滋味和心情呢? 也许是重新看到了生，也许是王玥的脚伤好了些，她不再需要担架了。她在高吉龙的搀扶下一步步向前走去。两人就那么走了，把他独自扔在那里。他站在那片斑驳的光线下，独自怔了好一会儿，他茫然四顾，自己问自己：我该往哪里走，到底该往哪里走?要不是他看见了身后那三个日本人在一点点向他逼近，也许他还会那么怔下去。 最终，他无可奈何地又向前走去，循着高吉龙和王玥留下的脚印。 眼前的世界果然是另外一个样子了，树木越来越疏朗了，头上的天空露出越来越大的光亮，脚下的草丛不再那么浓密了，脚下的土地也变得坚硬起来。 吉姆抬起头，看到自己随着高吉龙和王玥走的方向的确是一直在向北。 高吉龙和王朗走在前面，他们的前进速度快得有些惊人，他们一路向前走去，阳光明晃晃地照在他们的身上。如此强烈的阳光刺得他有些睁不开眼睛，吉姆前所未有地感到空虚，空虚得无依无靠。 他挣扎着向前追赶，脚步越来越沉重，气力也越来越小，不知是太阳光线的缘故，还是另外别的原因，他不时地眼冒金星，几欲摔倒。直到又一个晚上到来，他才追赶上高吉龙和王玥，两人似乎已经把他忘记了，在一个干爽的草坡上躺下了，他们相拥而眠。 吉姆躺在离他们只有几步之遥的地方，他怕冷似地缩着身子。林子稀疏下来之后，不仅有了阳光，还有了风，风不紧不慢地吹过来，周围的草丛树木微响着。头顶那方天空，星星在闪烁着，吉姆望着它们，感到一切都那么不真实，他无法入睡，就那么大睁着眼睛。 高吉龙和王玥也没有入睡，他们是因为激动，他们久久地凝望着天空中的星星，听着有声有色的风声。 “我们得救了。”王玥喃喃着，她把自己的头靠在高吉龙的胸前，她已经流过很多次眼泪了，她激动的泪水打湿了高吉龙的胸襟。 高吉龙搂抱着王玥的肩，他的手用了些力气，让王玥离自己更近一些。他嗅着她的头发，她的身体散发着一股奇异的味道，这气味让他无法忘记森林。 他的目光和王玥的目光拧在一起，他们一起望着头顶的星空。 “我们走出丛林了。”他也喃喃着。 一股风吹来，扑在他们的身上，他们更紧地拥在了一起。 周围仍然是丛林，可他们明显地感到丛林离他们越来越远了，树上的野果子也渐渐多了起来，还有肥大的蚂蚱，这一切都成了他们最丰富的食物，他们不用再为寻找食物发愁了。 他们可以踏实地入睡了，他们就那么相拥着入睡了，他们有了一个共同的梦，他们梦见了怒江，波涛滚滚的怒江，过了怒江，就是中国了。 不知什么时候，吉姆也睡着了，他也作了一个梦，他的梦里再一次出现了自己的家乡，家乡在梦里变得那么模糊，那么遥远，那么不真实。 微风在山野里吹拂着，吉姆在梦里哭泣起来，他的哭泣是那么的无助，那么的悲伤。 不知名的虫，在远远近近的草丛中呜叫着。一抹曙色渐渐地透过林梢慢慢地向林地里逼近，又一个黎明走近了。 天渐渐地亮了起来，这是一个充满希望的黎明，也是一个充满毁灭的黎明。 eleven 又过了一座山，眼前的天地已是另外一个模样了。丛林终于甩在了身后，怒江的涛声已经隐约可闻了。前面还是山丘，但山丘已不能和丛林同日而语了。树仍然有，却是稀稀疏疏的，天空、大地完全地坦露在他们眼前。 高吉龙挂着一支长枪站在阳光下，枯瘦的身体在破烂的衣衫里不停地颤栗着，他憋了许久的眼泪终于放肆地流了下来。 他喊：“嗬——哎——” 声音在眼前的山谷里回荡着。 “出来了，终于走出来了。”王玥一边说一边忙着整理自己破碎的衣衫，似乎直到此时，她才开始注意到自己的身体。 吉姆靠在一棵树上，他闭着眼睛一遍遍在心里祈祷着：“上帝呀，上帝呀——” 吉姆为自己终于走出丛林而感到庆幸，同时他又深深地惶惑了，眼前的路他将怎样走，是随高吉龙和王玥去中国，还是独自走向缅甸，自从中国军队溃撤到丛林里，缅甸已经完全被日本人占领了，要是再一次走进丛林，向西去印度，那一切简直不可思议。 他清楚如果随高吉龙和王玥去中国不会有什么好结果，英国人在缅甸战场上已经让中国人上当受骗了，中国人不会饶恕他这个英国顾问，虽然他们一路走出丛林，并不等于中国人已经原谅了他。他真的不知如何是好了，在心里一遍遍地叫着：“上帝，我的上帝呀——” 高吉龙和王玥似乎已经把他忘记了，两个人搀扶着又向前走去。 吉姆望着两人的背影渐渐远去，无力地坐在了地上。悲伤的眼泪不可遏止地流了出来，他茫然回顾，这时他看见了前园真圣和另外两个日本兵，他们站在离他们不远的地方，在小声地嘀咕着什么。天呐，日本人!吉姆在心里喊了一声，他随中国官兵在一起时，从来没有这么惊慌过，而此时只有自己，眼前不远处就是三个日本人。吉姆一时不知如何是好了，不由自主的，他慢慢地趴了下去，趴在了地上，伸手抓住了腰间的枪，于是他的身体拼命地哆嗦着。 前园真圣和两个日本士兵，似乎没有看见他，他们向北方望了一会儿，然后就一摇一晃地向东方走去。 日本人也渐渐地远去了，只剩下他一个人了。他仍趴在那里，像一个无助的孩子，嘤嘤地哭了起来。中国人离开了他，日本人也离开了他，似乎他已经不存在了。这时他又一次清醒地意识到，无论如何不能去中国，说不定中国人会把他送上军事法庭，中国士兵死得太多了，他们会把自己当成替罪羊的。在丛林里，高吉龙曾不止一次地对他说，要把他们这些英国佬送到军事法庭上去。 吉姆觉得真的无路可走了。他站了起来，面向西方，在遥远的天边尽头，那里才是他的家乡，可现在他插翅也难以回去了，他冲着家乡方向跪了下去，就那么长久地跪着，他举起了枪，枪口冲着自己的头。吉姆在心里苍凉地叫了一声：“上帝呀——” 枪便响了，吉姆摇晃了一下，这个可怜的英国人便一头栽倒了。 走在路上的高吉龙和王玥被这突然的枪声惊得一怔，他们回过头来，看见吉姆已经躺在了树下。从情感上讲，他们恨英国人，要是没有英国人的忘恩负义，仗绝对不会打到这个份上。一路上他们同生共死地走过来，是命运让他们走到了一起，吉姆虽是个英国人，但他同时也是这场战争的受害者。 他们走出丛林，是因为太高兴了，只顾着自己往前走而忘记了吉姆，他们以为他会随他们同行，前方就是自己的祖国，他们要走回去，他们的确没有想过身后的吉姆会怎么想，甚至没有想过他将来的命运，他们不可能想这么多，谁会知道自己将来的命运呢? 这一声枪响，还是让他们愣住了。半晌之后，高吉龙向吉姆躺倒的那棵树下鞠了一躬，王玥学着高吉龙的样子也鞠了一躬。转过身他们又向前走去。 “这个英国人。”高吉龙说。 “可不，这个英国人。”王明说。 他们向前走去，没有了丛林，脚下的路便好走了许多，多了份希望，他们就多了些力气。他们向前走得很快，怒江的涛声隐约地传了过来。 高吉龙这时突然想起身后的几个日本人，好久都没有发现他们了，他回了几次头也没有发现他们。在丛林里。一路上他们都是若即若离的。 王玥似乎看出了高吉龙的心思，也回头望了几次，无遮无拦的山路连个影子也没有。 “他们也一定走出丛林了。”高吉龙喃喃地说。 “他们昨天还在咱们的后面。”王玥似乎在安慰高吉龙。 他们这么说过了，都为自己的语调而感到吃惊，似乎他们谈论的不是自己的敌人，而是一路同行的难友。 太阳偏西的时候，他们站在了一座山头上，远远的，他们终于望到了那条怒江，此时的怒江在夕阳的映照下，似一条彩虹，横亘在中缅边界上。 涛声依旧。 “你听，这是怒江。”高吉龙挽着王玥的手。 “是涛声，我听到了。”王玥的声音哽咽着。她又想到了半年前，自己随着缅甸华侨走过怒江大桥时的情景。那时，她迫切地想着走回自己的祖国，此时的心情比那时还要迫切，她恨不能插上翅膀飞到祖国的怀抱中。 突然，他们听见了一阵阵枪炮声，那来自怒江两岸的枪炮声。两岸的枪炮声同时响了起来，顿时硝烟四起，这时，他们才清醒地意识到，战争远没有结束。 中国军队和日本军队在怒江两岸对峙着。 远征军在缅甸战场一溃千里，日本人乘胜追击，大兵压境，中国边境岌岌可危，这是蒋介石始料不及的。怒江北岸的昆明完全有可能落人日本人手中，怒江成了中国最后一道防线了，就在这时，宋希濂临危受命，乘飞机赶往祥云，调集军队火速进驻怒江，前头部队刚抵达怒江，日本人的先头部队也赶到了，两军就交火了，后续部队星夜兼程，源源抵达，他们炸掉了怒江大桥，这是远征军当初走出国门的大桥，今天为了保住云南，他们炸掉了它。 日本人为了早日结束东亚战场的战火，想一鼓作气冲过怒江，一时怒江沿岸调集了近万人的军队，企图发起猛攻。 中国远征军的惨败同时也使蒋介石恼羞成怒，他一面命宋希濂调集部队死守怒江的北岸，一面命部队反攻，几个拉据战下来，才发现日军在怒江南岸已集结了大批兵力，想轻而易举地打过怒江，并不那么容易。于是，中、日两军便成了眼下这种对峙状态。 再说杜聿明率领大部人马在缅北丛林里已走得饥寒交迫，眼见着全军将士将葬送在丛林里。蒋介石急了，一面和美国人交涉，一面和英国人吵架，后来美国飞虎队派出了飞机帮助寻找，一面又命令先期到达印度的孙立人师派兵前去引路，最后在杜聿明穷途末路时，终于被找到了。他们在丛林里死里逃生，他们终于走进了印度的列多城。 浩浩荡荡的中国远征军，出国时十余万精兵强将，此时只剩下了几千人，仅新22师死在缅北丛林的将士就多达4000余人。 在印度的列多，杜聿明痛心疾首，亲手布置了悼念死去将士的灵堂，他含泪祭辞： 痛乎!我远征军烈士诸君也，壮怀激越，奉命远征，别父母，抛妻孥，执干戈卫社稷，挽长弓射天狼。三月赴缅，深入不毛。与日寇初战同古，首战奇勋，为世人瞩目。再战斯瓦河、平满纳、棠吉，众官兵同仇敌忾，奋勇争先，杀敌无算。缅战方酣，不意战局逆转，我远征军官兵转进丛林，身陷绝境。诸烈士也，披荆斩棘，栉风沐雨，茹苦含辛，衣不蔽体，食不果腹，蚊蚋袭扰，瘴气侵凌，疾病流行，惨绝人寰。惜我中华健儿，尸殁草莽之中，血洒群峰之颠。出师未捷身先死，壮志未酬恨难消。 悲夫，精魂忠骨，永昭日月。 兹特临风设祭，聊表寸心。 杜聿明挥泪和幸存的将士告别，飞向国内，告别了缅甸，告别了缅北丛林死去的弟兄们，谁知这一别竟成了永别。 谁也没有想到，这些国民党的著名将领，在国内战场，在人民解放军的打击下，纷纷落马，仅在辽沈战役中，廖耀湘被俘，郑洞国投诚，孙立人战败，杜聿明虽逃离了东北，却在淮海战场上被俘，四年内战的结果，国民党土崩瓦解，败出大陆，逃亡孤岛台湾。 当然，这一切都是后话了。 缅北丛林，十万死亡的将士，永不得安息，他们无家可归的灵魂，在异国他乡流泪，风是他们的叹息，雨是他们思乡的泪滴。他们呼喊着，发出一个共同的声音： “我们要回家——” twelve 枪炮声使高吉龙和王玥真实地感受到了人间烟火。他们相扶相搀着向枪炮声走去。 夜半时分，他们终于走近了怒江，这里的枪炮声早已停歇了，但仍可以闻到浓浓的火药味。他们顺着一个山坡向江边走去，他们只有一个信念，过了江就回到了祖国了，那里有他们的同胞，有他们的亲人。 不远不近的山头上，有日军点燃的篝火，火光中，不时有日本哨兵走动的身影，偶尔还可以听到他们的说话声。这一切，都没有使高吉龙和王明感受到一丝一毫的恐惧，相反，他们反而觉得这声音来自于人间，听起来竟有几分亲切。 日本人没有料到，在他们的眼皮下，竟有两个中国土兵，九死一生走出丛林，又在他们中间走过去。 高吉龙和王玥来到江边，横亘在眼前的江水拦住了他们的去路。他们的双脚已踏进了江水，一切都是那么真实，那么激动人心，江北岸的一切，就在眼前，那连绵的群山，天空中的星斗，放眼望去是那么的亲切、安详。 高吉龙在心里呼喊了一声：“我回来了，我回来了——” 他和王玥谁也没有说话，他们在想着过江的办法。高吉龙看见了一棵倒在水边的树桩，那是被炮弹炸倒在水边的树桩，高吉龙毫不犹豫地向那棵树桩走去，王玥明白了高吉龙的用意，他们合着力把树桩拖到了水里，然后他们抱住了树桩，树桩飘飘浮浮地向对岸漂去。 怒江水拥着他们的身体，他们已经好久没有洗过澡了，丛林已经使他们变成人不人鬼不鬼了，今天他们终于回来了，回来了，是中国的水在拥抱着他们，他们两人齐心协力奋力地蹬着水向对岸游去。 不知什么时候，他们失去了知觉。 当他们醒来的时候，听到了有人在说话。 一个人说：“连长，他们醒了。” 另一个说：“好像有一个还是女的。” 高吉龙慢慢地睁开了眼睛，他第一眼看到的是，那一张张久违了的人间的面孔。他嚅动着嘴唇想说什么，却什么也说不出来，抬了抬手，他又无力地放下了。 接下来他就听见另一个人说：“把他们带到团部去。” 有两个士兵走过来，架起了他，另外两个士兵架起了王玥，他们几乎被拖着离开了地面。 高吉龙这时才清醒地看到，天早就亮了，他们离开了江边，向山后走去。 终于，来到了一个指挥所，指挥所门口有两个士兵在站岗。一个军官走进去，高吉龙听见那个军官说：“报告团长，今天早晨又抓回两个逃兵。” 团长说：“带进来!” 那个军官在门口露了一下头，朝架着他们的几个士兵挥了一下手。士兵便拖着高吉龙和王玥来到了指挥所。他趴在了地上，他想站起来，却站不起来。他就仰着头望着站在一张地图前的团长。 那个团长说：“哪个部分的?” 他说：“我……们……不是……逃兵。” 那个团长又说：“问你是哪个部分的?” 高吉龙报出了身份。 那个团长拍了一下桌子，大声喝道：“带下去，交军法处。” 高吉龙还想分辩什么，那几个士兵冲过来，拖拖拽拽地把他们带出了指挥所，又走了一段，把他们塞到一辆卡车上，卡车很快就启动了，车身摇晃着，他看见躺在身边的王玥，王玥的两眼里一片茫然，他向她伸出了手，她抓住了他的手，两人便又什么也不知道了。 前园真圣带着两个士兵，一走出丛林便向相反的方向走去，他知道再往前走就是中国领土了，丛林使一切都颠倒了，几个月来，他不知道这些日子外面的世界发生了怎样的变化。 他们能逃出丛林已经是万幸了，发生在丛林中的一幕幕，那么的不真实，仿佛做了一场恶梦。 他们跌跌撞撞地向前走着，走出了山谷，前面就是一片平原了，他们远远地看见了几座小山村，山村已被炮火炸得面目全非了，没有一丝生息，这个世界，似乎已经死了。 天又黑了，他们再也走不动了，躺在地上很快就睡去了。 不知过了多久，他们同时被汽车的马达声惊醒了，前方的公路上，驶过来几辆汽车，他们终于看清了，车上插的是他们的旗帜，那两个士兵拥过来，欢呼着。他们激动地喊：“少佐太君，是我们的车，我们的车，我们得救了。” 前园真圣却一点也不兴奋，他看见了自己的同胞，车上站满了一队队荷枪的士兵，他甚至都能看清他们的脸面了，那一双双充血的眼睛使他不寒而栗起来。 那两个士兵高兴得忘记了自己的长官，没等前园真圣命令，他们就不顾一切地向公路跑去。也许他们太激动了，没跑几步，便双双跌倒了，但那两个兵仍不顾一切地向前爬着，爬着，爬向他们的同胞。 前园真圣把枪扔在了地上，转过身，向相反的方向走去，公路离他远去了，同胞离他远去了，他只向前走着，没有意识，没有思想，只是机械地往前走着，他的目光痴迷。他在慌乱地逃避着什么，跌倒了，爬起来，又跌倒了，再也爬不起来了，他就爬行着向前走…… 又一个清晨，一座小小的，清凉的寺庙里有了动静。一位老住持“吱呀”一声推开了寺门，他看见了一团东西蜷在寺庙门前的空地上。他倒吸了口气，不由自主地向后退去，待他看清地上躺着的是个人时，他镇静了下来，一步步向那个人走去。 高吉龙和王玥又一次醒来时，发现两人已被关在一间小黑屋里，他们不知道自己这是在哪。 宋希濂接管了滇西的防务，心里就气不打一处来。好端端的十万远征军说败就败了，英国人出卖了中国人这是一个原因，但是，对十万将士自己也是应该进行深刻检查的。在后方时，他早就听说：远征军一入缅甸，有些将领不是忙着打仗，而是忙着做生意，政府拿出大量外汇供给军需，入缅部队以卢比发饷，本来是激励将士们奋勇杀敌的，可有些军官扣发了士兵的军饷，用以做买卖，以军车当做生意的交通工具。 国民党内部各官僚历来是相互瞧不起，你拆我的台，我看你的笑话。宋希濂一面接管滇西防务，——面在溃退下来的军官中清查，他要找出足够的证据，说明十万远征军的败因。 于是，宋希濂下了一道命令：清查溃退下来的官兵，以得到充实的口供，尤其是从前线逃回来的那些营以上军官。 当高吉龙报出自己的身份后，他还没有来得及为自己申辩，便被带到了保山司令部的军法处。 在前些日子，军法处已枪决了一批死不招认的败军指挥官。当然，那都是一些下层军官。 迎接高吉龙的将是军法处的裁决。
