    Marching at night was indeed very uncomfortable for these Americans. If the volunteers hadn't held their guns against them, these prisoners might not have been able to walk a step.

    Zhang Xian only chatted with David for a while, and then walked to the front of the team. David's surprised eyes kept staring at the strong man wearing a helmet and wrapped in a coat who was following his donkey cart closely.  , even though it was in the dark night, the light of the torch was a little dim and could not illuminate the man's face clearly, but he was absolutely sure to recognize it. Who else could this man be if he wasn't Tom? Although at this time, David didn't feel the same.  It wasn't good, he hadn't recovered from the fever yet, but at this moment, he forced himself to wake up.

    After walking in silence for a while, he saw that no one was paying attention to him anymore, and the volunteer soldier closest to them was five or six meters away. He couldn't help but ask in English in a low voice: "Hey, is that you? Tom  ?¡±

    "Hey!" Tom nodded and replied in a low voice.

    Although he only said one word, David clearly understood that the person coming was the battalion commander whom he had guessed. He couldn't help but feel happy and asked quickly: "Tom, why are you here?"

    Tom did not answer immediately. He scanned the surroundings with vigilant eyes and confirmed that except for the Korean driving the donkey cart, there were no other Orientals in front of the donkey cart. Even their accomplices were far away from the cart.  The car was two or three meters away and was walking mechanically. Behind them, there were two Chinese people walking with guns in hand and looking around.

    As if he guessed Tom's thoughts, David immediately told him: "Don't worry, among these Orientals, except for the company commander named Yu, no one else can understand us!"

    Tom felt relieved, but asked him urgently: "David, how many are these Chinese? Where are they taking you? How many people are you?"

    David told him: "I have counted eighty-five of these Chinese, and they all have guns; they are going to escort us to Anton. There are a total of one hundred and twenty of us, and more than half of them are injured!"

    Tom couldn¡¯t help but frown. He was thinking deeply. It was not an easy task to deal with more than 80 Chinese people.

    "Tom? Are you here to save us?" David asked eagerly.

    Tom nodded.

    "How many people are here in total?" David couldn't help but ask.

    "Nine!" Tom answered truthfully.

    "Nine?" David couldn't believe his ears. There were only nine people. He wanted to rescue these captives from the Chinese escort. How could this be possible?

    As if he had guessed what David was thinking, Tom said confidently: "Don't worry, I will rescue everyone. Although there are only nine of us, don't you still have more than a hundred people here? In terms of the number of people,  Up, we have the upper hand!¡±

    David couldn't help but open his mouth. This Tom was so optimistic, as if they had really become his soldiers.  Although these prisoners were numerically superior, they were unarmed at this time and most of them were wounded soldiers. Without strong organizational skills, even if these people were placed in front of him, it might not be possible to form an army.  It's just a bunch of loose sand.  Although many of these prisoners were from their battalion, there were still some from other troops, and it would take time to get used to them.  Not to mention these, in terms of reality, if they are escorted by the Chinese and the other party is so vigilant, how can they have the power to resist?  Is this Tom crazy?

    "David, I sneaked in just to ask you to cooperate. As long as everyone cooperates, we will definitely succeed!" Tom was full of confidence.

    "Tell me, how do you want us to cooperate?" David asked.

    "I'll tell you later!" Tom said, and asked him again: "Who is the leader of the Chinese in your team?"

    David said: "That's the company commander who just talked to me. However, there is also a deputy commander in front. These two people should be their leaders!"

    "Do you know the pattern of their actions?"

    David nodded and said: "They were afraid of our air strikes, so they chose to march at night and rest during the day. I heard the deputy commander told the company commander that they wanted us to rush to a place ahead called Tianmo City to rest.  , it will be light up soon, I think they will definitely have to wait there until dark before leaving!"

    Tom nodded, thought for a moment, and looked at his watch again. It was a luminous watch. At this time, the pointer pointed at three o'clock, and then said: "Well, then we don't have much time. Until dawn,  There are three moreI don¡¯t dare to take it lightly, for fear that someone will escape while marching in the dark, so I always count the number of people from time to time. Even during the march, there will be people counting from front to back or from back to front every half hour.  Last time.  Just now Wang Peng walked quickly from back to front, and of course he counted the number of people by the way. However, when the count came to the end, they found that the number of people was wrong. Zhang Xian and Cao Shuang both thought that he was undercounting, but they didn't know that Platoon Leader Wang told  Among them, he actually counted one person.

    Cao Shuang only thought that Wang Peng had counted wrongly and didn't care. Zhang Xian thought so too at first, but he felt that something was wrong. Wang Peng was a very careful person. It was true that Xiong Sanwa could count wrongly.  It's possible; if Wang Peng counted it wrong, it would be a bit strange.  Because he was worried, he counted from front to back again.

    Counting from back to front requires you to walk quickly, but counting from front to back is much easier. You just need to stand still and watch the team pass by one by one, and silently note it in your heart.  Just the number of people is enough.  But at the end of the count, Zhang Xian got exactly the same result as Wang Peng, and there was such an extra person. He couldn't help but feel dizzy. Could it be that he had also counted wrongly?  How is this possible?  Just to avoid miscounting, he had to be very careful.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
