Eventually, at the moment when the second flare was finally annihilated, the violent explosion stopped as if it had never happened.

And as the Japanese extinguished their torches or threw them into the river, the protection of darkness finally came to them again.

Under the cover of darkness, the Japanese army finally recovered from the initial chaos of the attack and began to organize a counterattack.

Soon, as the orders of officers at all levels began to take effect, the Japanese army queue that had been marching along the river immediately took the squad as a fighting collective, and all quickly withdrew to the river embankment to temporarily hide.

As for the baggage vehicles that were in chaos during the attack, they were also pulled off the road by dozens of baggage soldiers, and some were even withdrawn from the battlefield.

After getting rid of the initial confusion, the Japanese counterattack firepower also became sporadic and began to be organized. In the darkness, two heavy machine guns were assumed to be on the river embankment, and then they continued to fire heavily on the pitch-black hillside on the opposite bank, repeatedly plowing the land on the opposite bank with a dense rain of bullets.

As for the warp firepower carried by the devils with the army, although they did not dare to fire flares at will because they did not know the enemy's situation, the Japanese grenadiers were not idle, and they were directly aimed at the hillside on the opposite bank and bombarded indiscriminately.

In the dull sound of explosions, grenade grenades flew out of the darkness one after another, setting up clusters of flames on the hillside on the opposite bank.

……

In the face of the indiscriminate attacks of the Japanese army, Zhao Shixun was not too worried. In the round of attacks just now, he was very satisfied with Qi Baoshan's performance in the fourth company. As far as the fact that the Japanese army only dares to fight in the dark now, the devils on the other side of the river were definitely taken away just now!

In line with the principle of saving ammunition, he ordered everyone to cease fire and hide, and then leaned against the shallow foxhole.

Listening to the explosions in his ears, Zhao Shixun shook the dirt on his hat, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

At this moment, he found that Hu Tian, the kid, was actually lying on the ground with his head covered and pouting, as if he was about to burrow into the soil.

Seeing that this kid who was not afraid of heaven and earth was actually scared enough by the shelling, Zhao Shixun was happy and gently kicked the other party's buttocks.

"Stinky boy, be afraid, fighting a war is not as simple as you think."

After being kicked crooked, Hu Tian raised his head and glanced at the other party embarrassedly, but then stubbornly wiped his nose again.

"Who...... Who said I was scared. My ears are so badly shaken! ”

"Huh...... You're a tough kid. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shixun rummaged through his trouser pocket and took out a box of fireworks that had been seriously deformed.

"Grandma's...... I forgot that I had been carrying this thing in my trouser pocket. ”

Looking at the match in his hand that had been deformed by the river blister, Zhao Shixun reluctantly threw it away.

Hu Tian, who was on the side, saw Zhao Shixun's actions, and immediately quickly touched over and picked up the matchbox.

"Don't pick it up, it's already soaking wet."

After taking a few puffs of a cigarette, Zhao Shixun leaned his back in the bunker and said lightly.

……

"Brother...... You want to smoke. ”

Holding the match thrown away by Zhao Shixun, Hu Tian asked with a smile on his face.

"Nonsense...... Otherwise, Lao Tzu still eats? ”

Hearing this, he didn't speak, Hu Tian just suddenly squatted up and looked around, and then in Zhao Shixun's puzzled eyes, he slipped out of the bunker.

"Holy...... You give me back! ”

rushed to the other party and crawled out of the bunker immediately, and Zhao Shixun reached out to grab the other party almost instinctively. However, just when his fingers touched Hu Tian's trouser leg, the kid had already crawled out.

Crawling out of the bunker with a red face, Hu Tian went straight to the dead tree that was ignited by the explosion at the moment when he was more than ten meters away.

After a few seconds, he picked up a burning twig and ran back. Da Da Da ...... Da-da-da-da!

Against the backdrop of the firelight, Hu Tian's figure was soon discovered by the Japanese troops who were waiting on the other side of the river. In the next second, at least two machine guns swept towards the black shadow moving on the hillside.

Along the way, the smoke and dust raised by the bullets almost rolled after Hu Tian's ass, and then came to an abrupt end on the cover.

Puff puff......

More than ten seconds later, realizing that the muzzle of the devil's gun had changed positions, Hu Tian, who was lying in the bunker, hurriedly blew the branch that was about to be extinguished in his hand, and then handed it to Zhao Shixun, who was pale.

"Brother...... Give you fire. ”

……

With a gloomy face, he stepped forward and lit a cigarette, Zhao Shixun first took a few puffs, and then pulled the other party in front of him.

"Bunny...... If you dare to run around again, Lao Tzu will abolish you first! ”

"Hey...... No, brother, I will listen to your ...... in the future. ”

……

Squinting slightly and staring at Hu Tian for a while, Zhao Shixun slowly let go of the other party with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Boy, seeing that you are not very old, why did you follow the dreadlocks at such a young age."

Hearing this, he raised his head and spread his hands helplessly, Hu Tian fiddled with the two big-eyed pickers in his hand and said:

"When I was five years old, there was a famine in my family, and my parents died of eating Guanyin soil...... If it hadn't been for Second Master Qi who took me in when he took people to spend the night in the temple, I'm afraid I would have starved to death on the avenue. ”

“…… Your name was given by the old man? ”

"Hmm...... The second master said that I was saved by Huzi, so my surname is Hu. It is also said that he spent the night in the ruined temple because of the rain, so it was providential. And just like that, I have my first and last name...... Hey. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun nodded thoughtfully.

Unlike Zhao Shixun and the others, who were relatively calm, He Zhendong, who was in another bunker on the right side of the position, had not been hiding in the bunker at this moment.

Ignoring the danger of being hit by the Japanese grenadiers at any time, he leaned out half of his body to stare at the meandering river below, ignoring the dissuasion of the soldiers around him, and never took his eyes off the water.

I don't know how long it took, but with another lightning and thunder in the sky, He Zhendong straightened up and looked down with wide eyes.

After a short moment, looking at a section of the river that fell into darkness again three or four hundred meters away from him, He Zhendong's face suddenly sank.

Without the slightest hesitation, He Zhendong kicked violently, decisively climbed out of the bunker, and then crawled all the way to Zhao Shixun's position.

A moment later, with the help of Hu Tian, He Zhendong turned over and jumped into the bunker.

"Brother Zhendong? Why did you get here? ”

Looking at He Zhendong, who climbed over in sporadic shelling, Zhao Shixun was a little surprised.

Without much explanation, He Zhendong directly pulled the other party up, and then pointed to a crooked section of the river hidden in the dark in the southwest of the position, and said anxiously:

"Captain Zhao, look at the river in the distance, there is a problem there!"

Stunned for a moment, Zhao Shixun looked at the section of the river below that was swallowed by darkness, and asked with some puzzlement:

"What's the matter, Brother Zhendong, what did you find?"

"Don't worry, wait for the sky to flash again."

Nodding heavily, He Zhendong pointed to a section of river not far in front of him, signaling Zhao Shixun not to worry.

Not long after, as a bolt of lightning flashed through the sky again, the shadow in the river not far away revealed its true face again.

"That'...... It was a land ....... ”

Looking at the river that was swallowed by darkness again, Zhao Shixun, who was originally calm, instantly widened his eyes, and finally understood what He Zhendong meant.

The bare ground in the distant river channel can only and absolutely illustrate the fact that the water level of that section of the curved river is certainly not ...... deep.

And most importantly, this beach in the middle of the river is within sight of the battlefield!

As a battle-hardened soldier, Zhao Shixun really knows too well what it means for such a stretch of river to appear in the distance.

"Feints in dangerous areas to attract firepower, flanks to find shallow water sections to attack in a roundabout way."

Faced with an almost textbook-like battlefield environment in the infantry drill code, Zhao Shixun knew with his ass that as long as the Japanese army found that position, he would definitely send someone to make a detour from the middle of the river to attack his own side!

"This ...... It's a coincidence...... ”

Staring at the dark river in the distance, Zhao Shixun suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he was being tricked by God.

"Oh my God...... You're not long-sighted....... ”

With a heavy punch on the bunker, Zhao Shixun glanced at the soldiers lying in the improvised bunker around him, and then looked at the east bank of the river, which had begun to turn white slightly, and suddenly felt a retreat in his heart.
