After Zhao Shixun made the decision, although the others had doubts, they still took action immediately.

Due to the heavy losses of Heiwa's company in the previous battle, to be honest, it has reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones. Therefore, in order to preserve the backbone of the company, Zhao Shixun decisively left them in Shijian Village.

In addition, because the health team could not accompany him this time, and the combat effectiveness of the first company was very weak due to too many wounded soldiers, Zhao Shixun finally gave up the idea of taking away all the main forces, and left the second company to prevent accidents.

Before leaving, Shao Mengru found Zhao Shixun, secretly stuffed all his last bit of sulfonamide to the other party, and told Zhao Shixun to pay attention to the wound on his head and not to collapse.

Regarding Shao Mengru's move, Zhao Shixun originally wanted to refuse, after all, the current team is extremely short of medicines. But looking at the other party's eyes full of concern, Zhao Shixun's heart warmed and he still put away the pills.

Zhao Shixun is not a wooden man, Shao Mengru's recent care in front of him that goes far beyond the friendship of comrades-in-arms has made Zhao Shixun realize something.

However, even if he understood the other party's intentions in his heart, as a soldier and the backbone of the independent detachment, Zhao Shixun only gave the other party a warm smile at this moment.

……

Two o'clock in the morning.

Although it is close to June, the temperature in the mountains still drops very quickly at night.

Especially when it is almost dawn, as the humidity in the air becomes more and more intense, people's clothes gradually begin to stick to the body, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

Turning around the foot of a mountain, with a gust of wind blowing, Zhao Shixun, who was soaking wet, shivered involuntarily.

Raising his head and looking at the less and less starlight in the sky, Zhao Shixun realized that Bacheng was about to change the sky.

After marching in the mountains in the dark for five hours in a row, Zhao Shixun, who was already exhausted, finally walked out of the reckless mountains and came to the edge of a small river more than ten meters wide.

Through the thin mist, dragging heavy steps to the river, Zhao Shixun squatted down, picked up the cool river water with his hand as if no one was around, and drank it directly.

At the same time, other hungry and thirsty soldiers also flocked to the river, washing their faces and drinking water.

Knock Knock Knock......

After plunging his head into the river and pouring it wildly, Zhang Dapeng happily washed his face with river water.

"Fuck it...... It's a pleasure! ”

Wiping the water droplets on his face, Dapeng got up and walked to Zhao Shixun, who was looking at the map with a flashlight, and asked angrily while gnawing on the dry food urn:

"Detachment leader, it's been half the night, where are we?"

Hearing this, he put away the map, Zhao Shixun looked at the river in front of him, and sat on the stone by the river.

"According to the instructions on the map, we should have reached the upper reaches of the Xixiao River. From here, walk another fifteen or sixteen miles along the river, and you should be able to reach your destination just after dawn. ”

"Walking along the river? That is, there is no need to drill the ravine anymore? ”

"Uh-huh......."

Seeing Zhao Shixun nodding in confirmation, Dapeng immediately showed a grateful expression.

This night of drilling in the ravine, he really suffered a lot from night blindness.

There was no way, for the sake of insurance, Zhao Shixun only let the torches be lit for a short time, so that everyone was basically discrediting along the way.

After confirming the current location, Zhao Shixun looked at the soldiers who were sitting paralyzed by the river to rest, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked people to call the deputy company elder ghost who was specially transferred from the first company.

Asked him to jump out of a few soldiers with good physical strength and no night blindness, Zhao Shixun instructed them to go all the way along the river in the direction of Nanyang Village for three miles, and temporarily serve as the outpost of the team.

Because he left the cover of the green gauze tent, Zhao Shixun didn't dare to be careless at the moment, he didn't want to have a chance encounter with the enemy in this dark night.

Not long after, after resting for half an hour to eat and replenish his strength, Zhao Shixun took the third company in front, and He Zhendong took the fourth company in the back, all the way along the river beach again.

Feeling dark, when everyone walked along the river for more than an hour, several sharp-eyed warriors suddenly noticed a faint glimmer of light on the top of the mountain in the distance.

Soon, Zhao Shixun, who realized that it was definitely not sunshine, immediately stopped the team.

At the same time, just when Zhao Shixun ordered the whole army to stop advancing, several old ghosts who were outposts also hurried back.

As soon as he saw Zhao Shixun, the old ghost immediately informed the other party of the abnormality he had discovered.

It turned out that just behind a hillside not far ahead, the old ghost and the others saw a team from a distance that was heading south from the north.

However, because it was too dark and there were no binoculars, the old ghost couldn't see the exact number of people. But just based on the nearly 100 torches that the other party was carrying, the old ghost judged that the number of people in this team was definitely not less than three hundred and fifty!

After getting this information, Zhao Shixun was also shocked immediately. It was really a bit abnormal to encounter the marching team in the middle of the night.

The next moment, after letting Dapeng lead the team to hide on the spot, he and He Zhendong immediately followed the old ghost up the hillside not far away.

Laboriously climbing to the top of the sparsely vegetated mountain, Zhao Shixun, who was lying on the ridge, saw at a glance the winding march hundreds of meters below the mountain.

Subconsciously took out the captured Japanese-style binoculars, and after Zhao Shixun carefully observed it for a while, his face immediately changed greatly.

"Captain Zhao? Is it a Japanese puppet army? ”

Hearing this, he didn't speak, Zhao Shixun directly handed the telescope to the other party.

Dozens of seconds later, He Zhendong's tone lost his previous composure.

"There are three squadrons of the Japanese army, and there are many puppet troops, and the ones behind should be the team that pulls the baggage, and there must be a ...... of heavy weapons."

Speaking of this, He Zhendong suddenly realized something, and quickly turned his head to look at the downstream direction of the river.

"Could it be that the target of these devils is also from Nanyang Village?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun looked at the queue of Japanese troops under the mountain and sighed helplessly.

"It seems that there is really something wrong with the column...... According to the current way of marching of the Japanese army, it is obvious that there is already a fight on the side of Nanyang Village. Otherwise, the devil would not dare to march so swaggeringly. ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and He Zhendong also recognized Zhao Shixun's judgment.

Due to the superiority in equipment and the absolute air supremacy, the Japanese army rarely marched at night.

And now the devil in front of him has done the opposite, obviously getting absolutely reliable information. Or rather, they have caught the enemy's tracks.

……

"Brother Shixun, our current position is quite high, if we start a rapid march of the whole army now and take a shortcut, we should be able to reach Nanyang Village in front of the Japanese army."

Looking at Zhao Shixun, He Zhendong also knew that the matter was urgent, so he bluntly said his thoughts.

After listening to He Zhendong's suggestion, Zhao Shixun stared at the Japanese army queue below the mountain and shook his head gently.

"There is no point in taking a shortcut, and even if we break our leg, we will be three or four miles ahead of the Japanese at best.

In addition, the situation in Nanyang Village is completely black at present, in case we arrive but can't find the column, or directly bump into the Japanese army, it will become a meat sandwich, and I am afraid that we will not even have the strength to fight at that time. ”

Seeing that what Zhao Shixun said also made some sense, He Zhendong was silent for a while, and suddenly looked up at the other party.

"Brother Sexun, you don't plan to stop this group of Japanese soldiers, do you?!"

"Huh...... Why not....... ”

With a faint smile, Zhao Shixun took out the map he was carrying in the shocked eyes of the other party.

Pointing to a section of the upper reaches of the Xixiao River on the map that turned from east to south, Zhao Shixun's eyes flashed a cold light in the darkness.

"I just looked at the terrain nearby, and our current location should be here.

From here, if you go further than two miles, the river will make a big bend there, and the east-west direction will directly become the north-south direction, and then it will flow in the direction of Dongfeng Town through Nanyang Village, which is more than ten miles away. ”

The words were closed, and Zhao Shixun's fingers tapped a few times on the bend of the river.

"If you look at the topography, the east bank of the river is an open field, and the west bank is next to a hillside that is not steep. If the Japanese army were to advance towards Nanyang Village, this would be the way they would have to go in the near future. ”

Hearing this, He Zhendong also faintly realized Zhao Shixun's thoughts.

"Are you planning to ambush the Japanese here at a bend in the river?"

"Hmm...... If we can occupy the hillside on the west bank of the river before the Japanese reach here, we will be able to give them a hard blow when the Japanese are walking south along the east bank of the river.

And because they are separated by a river, even if they want to fight back, it will be difficult for them, unless they plan to wade across the river and storm the hillside we occupy. ”

After listening to Zhao Shixun's narration, He Zhendong looked at the location on the map and couldn't help but give Zhao Shixun a thumbs up.

"The location chosen by Brother Sehoon is not to be said, it is indeed an excellent ambush position. Presumably ambushed by this, the devil has to shed his skin even if he doesn't die. ”

After determining the tactical action, Zhao Shixun and the others did not dare to delay, and then went down the mountain and rushed all the way back to the large army.

Seeing everyone, Zhao Shixun didn't hide anything, and directly told everyone the enemy situation he saw.

And after learning the news that a large number of Japanese troops were moving towards the column station, the soldiers also understood the seriousness of the matter.

Immediately, after a brief mobilization, Cho Shixun announced the next step of the battle arrangement.

"Now I order, everyone take off their shirts, wrap up their weapons and ammunition, and put them on top of their heads, and then support each other and immediately wade across the river!"

Zhao Shixun's position at the moment is on the north bank of the river, so if they want to get to the ambush site, they must wade to the other side of the river.

…… To be continued, thank you for your support. Seeing that many people say that the problem of updating is true, Hanhai is indeed powerless to explain. As a part-time author, I also hope that you can understand Hanhai's suffering.

Recently, someone left a message saying that this book has no golden finger and no cool point, so the data is very poor, and Hanhai can only say that this book is really not a divine drama, so I can only say sorry to some book friends.
