Although Zhou Lao Wu usually cheats and teases his companions, his military quality is still very good. Following the squad leader, Zhou Lao Wu flexibly used the protrusions and weeds on the mountain road to cover his body, and quickly crossed the road like a mouse.

After the two sides met, with the help of a match, Zhou Lao Wu recognized that the one in front of him was a company commander of a battalion, and he couldn't remember the specific name.

The company commander and the squad leader checked their identities, and the squad leader sent back the agreed signal to the opposite side. Soon, the two companies converged in the mountains and forests and agreed to strangle the Jiannu who stayed in Gongjiatun together, under the command of Lieutenant Tang Xiao, the commander of the third company.

The two sides quickly discussed the plan. To be honest, there is no skill in this kind of fighting in the mountains, especially when the larch regiment is equipped with a batch of new grenades, and there is no room for the commander to touch the villages occupied by the enemy.

Zhou Lao Wu was ordered to serve as a grenadier. He had only two grenades with him, and now the whole class focused on him. Carrying a dozen bombs on his back, he followed five other grenadiers back to the forest on the western side. Here, they need to sneak north along a steep grove of trees until they reach the west of Gongjiatun.

As Zhou Lao Wu disappeared into the dark woods, the rest of the people also slowly approached the target under the leadership of the grassroots officers.

The terrain near Gongjiatun is high in the northwest and low in the southeast; A small river flows from the south into a small lake to the east. The mountain soldiers of the two companies slowly moved north along the western slope together, and the hunters with crossbows walked on the easternmost side. Their mission was to discover and monitor Kennu's sentry posts, and to shoot freely at targets if necessary.

Li Anjian himself is a hunter from Tieshan, and has been crawling in the mountains at the southern foot of Changbai Mountain for 20 years. At this moment, he was prostrate in the half-man-tall grass, carefully revealing his painted face, and a pair of eyes swept over the trees in front of him.

The comrade in front of the right waved slightly at him, indicating that the front was safe. He retracted his hips slightly, crawled forward slowly like an earthworm, and it took him five minutes to advance ten meters.

A tree twenty meters away caught Li Anjian's attention. He stopped, received a quick swing of his leg with his right hand, and stopped the comrades in the rear. At this time, the clouds that drifted by obscured the moonlight, and it was impossible to see that far away with the stars alone.

So Li Anjian decided to wait for a while. The people who can be selected for the hunters are old hunters for many years, and the patience to wait for the prey to show its flaws, each of them has it. Therefore, Li Anjian was not worried that his comrades-in-arms would not be able to help but move forward, and those guys who did not respect the judgment of their comrades had long been eliminated from the training camp.

After a few minutes, the thin cloud finally moved away from the moon's face. The pale white moonlight shone down, and Li Anjian was sure that there was a swarthy figure squatting on the tree.

Li Anjian slowly turned his head—he had to be more careful than before, because the moon came out, and his chances of being exposed would be greater than before—looking at his comrades more than ten meters away, he gestured to signal that he had spotted the enemy. The comrades-in-arms followed Li Anjian's gesture and observed for a while, saying that they had also seen the dark whistle.

So Li Anjian stopped moving. Little by little, he moved the crossbow he had been holding in his left hand in front of him, and aimed the black-painted arrow at the motionless shadow. As long as Li Anjian deems it necessary, he can kill the enemy in less than a second.

Time is passing minute by minute, and Li Anjian has maintained a prostrate posture for a long time. His hands were on the grass, the muscles in his shoulders began to ache, and his waist and abdomen stiffened. The shadows on the trees shook a few times during this time, and seemed to kill some of the bugs on their faces with a wave of their hands.

Suddenly, a frog croaked on the left.

Li Anjian secretly said that it was not good. He looked out of his left eye and saw that a bush more than ten meters away was swaying slightly, but it was a colleague who was disturbed by the frog and subconsciously made a driving motion.

didn't have time to waste an extra millisecond, Li Anjian instantly pulled the trigger. Seven or eight others made the same decision to attack as he did, and their swift crossbow bolts flew out of several meadows, nailing four sentries to the trees.

The bowstring ejected with a "buzzing" sound, and Li Anjian held the crossbow body with his right hand, and pulled the bowstring with his left hand to quickly pull it back, and put the crossbow arrow back again. He wasn't sure if the salvo had slipped through the net. According to the regulations, he should immediately abandon the crossbow and draw his pistol, roll around and retreat immediately, but he is reluctant to use this expensive crossbow arrow, and still wants to continue winding, ready to continue to lurk.

There was a sound of the grass and trees being overwhelmed from the rear, Li Anjian sighed in his heart, grabbed the crossbow and quickly rolled away, and followed the comrades in the rear to retreat in an "S" shape.

In the next second, an arrow was shot from the bushes outside Gongjiatun, and the mournful whistle spread throughout the night sky, and it was obvious that Jiannu had discovered the existence of the hunters.

The silent village immediately became noisy, and a few grenades pierced the night. No one knew that grenades had already been thrown into the village, except for the grenadiers themselves. Compared with the ignorant Jiannu, the difference between Tang Xiao and the others is that they have long been mentally prepared for the grenade explosion.

Fireballs three or four meters high rose from the village, and a loud noise spread hundreds of meters along the north-south mountain road. The next moment, there were several explosions, and then continuous firelight swept through Gongjiatun.

The trumpeter blew the trumpet of the charge, and more than 200 mountain soldiers roared at the same time, heading towards Gongjiatun from the north, south, and west. The Jiannu of the village did not put up any resistance, and allowed the mountain soldiers to rush to within forty meters, and received grenades thrown by ordinary soldiers.

Zhou Lao Wu left the forest with the other five people. After running a few quick steps, they took a step forward with their left foot, leaned back slightly on the side of their upper body, raised the grenade from above their shoulders and drew it back, supported the cliff path with their left hand, and threw the bomb with a wave of their arms.

After throwing all the grenades, Zhou Lao Wu rubbed his pantothenic shoulders and grinned at Gongjiatun not far away. The Jiannu probably reflected in the continuous explosions, and the collapsed people abandoned their scurrying horses, and deliberately rushed out of the village and fled towards the lake to the east.

After waiting until no one had escaped from the village, the mountain soldiers divided into one company to surround Gongjiatun, while the other company surrounded the east without haste. There were more Jiannu who escaped from Gongjiatun than expected, Tang Xiao looked at the enemy who was blocked by the lake and had no way to escape, and felt that there were at least a hundred people on the other side.

But he didn't think about it so much, the enemy in front of him obviously had no armor, and the weapons in his hands were not complete, even if the number was doubled, it didn't matter.

The mountain soldiers who hastily formed a semicircle slowly advanced, pressing the space for Jiannu's activities little by little.

"Raise your gun!" Tang Xiao put the short-barreled rifle on his shoulder and quietly stared at the unlucky guy who was being targeted. They had approached 30 meters, and Jiannu, who was getting closer and closer to the muzzle, showed an increasingly strong sense of agitation. Some people tried to move forward with knives, but they were afraid to move because of the muzzle of the gun; There are also some people who look back frequently, probably because they want to swim to escape but can't swim.

Finally, I don't know who yelled, and more than a dozen Jiannu standing in the front rushed forward together. Tang Xiao looked at the other party with some regret, so he had to fire at this distance.

"Fire!"

A short burst of fire lit up the lake for a few tenths of a second. White smoke rose and lead ejected, and the Jiannu gang of more than 100 people fell in an instant.

The people targeted by Tang Xiao were the ones who launched the charge. He narrowly escaped the rain of bullets, but his mind was frightened by the roar of death, and he ran towards Tang Xiao like a puppeteer, and was skillfully knocked down by two warriors, and killed from behind with a bayonet.

People who didn't have the courage to pounce on it before will not have the courage to fight to the death at this time. The remaining fifty or sixty Jiannu knelt on the ground, and the leader shouted surrender in Chinese—they knew how to say the word in Chinese with an Australian Song accent.

The mountain soldiers stood where they were, waiting until everyone had loaded their bullets before letting Jiannu come over one by one. The former hunters skillfully tied the captives' hands and feet with straw ropes and put them in a kneeling position.

Tang Xiao put his hands behind his back and calmly waited for his subordinates to pack up the prisoners.

When the last Jiannu was incapacitated, Tang Xiao waved his hand at the platoon commander under him, and the platoon commander smiled and asked the soldiers to drag Jiannu to the lake, and he took out a dagger and put it on the neck of one of them.

The instructor took a deep breath of the air with the smell of gunpowder smoke and said loudly: "I order, all war criminals are executed now!" ”

Dozens of tooth-aching flesh cuts rang out, and the gagged captives let out a muffled sound of pain, and then fell to the ground, their bodies trembling with the reflexes of their lives, like fish caught ashore.

Tang Xiao turned his face slightly sideways, letting the gentle evening breeze take away the smell of blood in the air.

"Hurry up and mend the knife, and get ready to clean up the palace." He reminded his subordinates.
