The fog in the rain was first pushed away by the violent air waves, and then became thicker and thicker in the hot air.

The warrior lying in the muddy water, while shooting at the swaying figure on the river embankment from time to time, watched nervously at the figure of his commander.

Under the cover of others, Zhao Shixun and the four of them appeared and disappeared in the rain, like leaping antelopes, constantly avoiding the sight of the Japanese army with the help of the shrubs and weeds by the river.

In a trance, several ghost soldiers on the embankment seemed to see the fast-moving figures on the flanks, but before they could turn their guns, the heavy rain swallowed up several shadows without a trace.

Finally, Zhao Shixun suddenly accelerated in the rain and threw himself directly on the muddy river embankment.

"Hold your back and follow me!"

After all four of them were safely leaning on the riverbank, Zhao Shixun leaned his body against the riverbank and moved carefully towards the north side with a hunched body.

When the soldiers who were serving as cover not far away saw several vague figures appear under the river embankment, they also hurriedly subconsciously lowered their guns into the sky, preventing Zhao Shixun from accidentally injuring them while continuing to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

Whoosh ......

Listening to the whistling sound of bullets flying by his scalp from time to time, Zhao Shixun gritted his teeth, stopped and slowly climbed up the river embankment.

Leaning his body tightly on the muddy ground, enduring the muddy water that kept splashing on his face, Zhao Shixun secretly looked towards the east side of the river embankment.

As far as the eye could see, at least thirty Japanese soldiers were crouching on the river embankment, constantly shooting at the figures to the west. At the foot of the embankment, a Japanese second lieutenant held a command knife and walked behind the soldiers hoarsely to encourage him.

"Heavy up!"

With a wave of his hand, Cho Shixun motioned for the machine gunner to climb the river embankment as well.

A few seconds later, looking at the tired panting machine gunner, Zhao Shixun patted him on the back, pointed to the Japanese second lieutenant who was supervising the battle under the river embankment, and said:

"As soon as I give the order, you will kill him as soon as possible. Remember, others can leave it alone, but you must kill that devil officer for me, understand? ”

Nodding heavily, the Heavy gently pulled the bolt, and then slowly pressed his cheek raiser to the butt.

In the end, Zhao Shixun stared at the extremely excited Hu Tian beside him and said:

"Don't shoot casually for a while, be sure to wait until the Heavy is changing bullets before firing!"

Hearing Zhao Shixun's advice, Hu Tian immediately understood what the other party meant, and excitedly raised the horse pistol that Zhao Shixun gave him.

"Brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart!"

……

The next moment, Zhao Shixun took out two box cannons and held them in his hands, and Shan Qi knelt on the river embankment.

"Hit ......!"

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......!

Before the words fell, the Czech machine gun, which had long been ready to fire, immediately jumped up in the rain, and continued to rain bullets on the Japanese troops below the river embankment.

In an instant, a clear trajectory flashed past the bewildered Japanese lieutenant, bringing up a rain of mud and opening several bloody holes in his body.

Soon, after hitting three Japanese soldiers in succession, the Czech-style gunfire suddenly stopped.

"Hu Tian, cover the machine gunner!"

At the moment when the gunfire stopped, Zhao Shixun and Hu Tian leaned out half of their bodies together, raised their guns and shot at the Japanese soldiers who reacted.

Bang Bang ...... Bang Bang ...... Bang.

In the sound of bean-like gunfire, the two Japanese soldiers closest to Zhao Shixun were hit by him one after another and rolled down the river embankment, and not far away, a devil machine gunner noticed that something was wrong and was about to turn the muzzle, but was hit through the helmet by an accurate six-five bullet.

"There is an enemy on the embankment, and the department is ...... ...... department! ”

Suddenly encountering a sneak attack, a Japanese soldier Cao Chang immediately roared hoarsely. And when he turned his gaze to his squad leader, he found that the other party had fallen into the mud at some point, and he couldn't ......die anymore.

The accidental death of the second lieutenant made the Japanese troops behind the river embankment hate Zhao Shixun and the others who attacked him. At one time, more than half of the Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at four people.

This time, it was Zhao Shixun and the four of them who were pressed back by the dense rain of bullets.

However, just as the Japanese army was about to rush over and use grenades to solve Zhao Shixun and a few people, fierce gunfire also rang out on the north side of the riverbank. Apparently, it was Roc and Junko who also detoured back to their positions and launched an attack.

The left and right sides were attacked at the same time, which made the Japanese squad hiding behind the river embankment waiting for reinforcements chaotic.

Faced with the enemy from three directions, coupled with the early death of the squad leader, the devil's will to fight soon collapsed in the grenades made in the border area.

Amid the screams, the more than 20 surviving devil soldiers left the riverbank, which was almost red with blood, and jumped into the river in a hurry to escape.

However, when they leave their backs to their opponents, their end is doomed.

In the face of a live target moving slowly in the river, the fighters of the independent detachment of course would not be merciful, and all kinds of weapons spread out to greet the devil's back.

……

Seven or eight minutes later, looking at the few men who had escaped from the mist-filled river, the face of the Japanese squadron leader, who realized that he had suffered a big loss, suddenly turned extremely blue.

Holding his command knife aloft, he roared and ordered the rest of his men to assemble their ranks and prepare to fight back to the first shame.

However, unlike this angry Japanese lieutenant, several other Japanese officers had different ideas.

It turned out that in the face of the unexpected death of the Supreme Commander and the endless attacks, coupled with the current bad weather, the rest of the Japanese officers decided that there was no need to fight any longer. With such heavy losses, they weren't going to take any more risks until the weather improved.

In the end, the Japanese army chose to give up the entanglement with the enemy, and retreated back the same way, preparing to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, as the weather gradually cleared, the rainstorm that had lasted all morning finally ended.

Seeing that the sun was coming out again, the warriors who had been hiding in the woods to avoid the rain also came out of their simple huts and came to the sparsely vegetated valley to bask in the sun.

A few hours ago, when Zhao Shixun withdrew with some soldiers of the special service battalion, He Zhendong had already led the fourth company to build more than a dozen shacks in the mountains with felled branches that could shelter from the wind and rain, so that the big guys could temporarily have a place to settle down and rest.

Under the cover of the heavy rain, Zhao Shixun and his party sat next to each other and slept peacefully for a morning.

"Grandma's...... It's so comfortable. ”

Three times five divided by two took off the wet clothes, only a pair of shorts left Dapeng lay on a big bluestone in the valley, comfortably basking in the sun.

Although the shack built by He Zhendong Lingsi Company could shelter from the rain for half a day, there was no choice but to find dry firewood, so everyone's clothes have been wet since last night. finally endured until the sun came out, and Dapeng couldn't wait to strip and bask in the sun.

Seeing that Dapeng had set a precedent, more and more soldiers followed suit, and began to take off their wet clothes and put them on nearby rocks or even branches.

In just a few moments, more than 100 men were lying naked all over the rocks in the valley.

……

In the simple shed, after listening to He Zhendong's analysis of the enemy's situation, Zhao Shixun touched his messy beard and stared at a few points on the map.

Through the interrogation of the prisoners of the puppet army, He Zhendong believed that the Japanese army was likely to have someone leading the way in the front, otherwise how could it easily smell the position of the main force of the column in this reckless mountains.

Regarding He Zhendong's statement, although Zhao Shixun also thought that it was absolutely abnormal for the devil's nose to be so spiritual, he still didn't dare to easily believe He Zhendong's inference.

After all, if someone is really guiding the devil openly and secretly, it is not a trivial matter.

Seeing that Zhao Shixun didn't seem to want to think in this direction, He Zhendong didn't say anything. After all, he currently has a special identity, and talking too much will be counterproductive.

Just as the two continued to chat, Hu Tian walked over with Officer Li.

As soon as he saw Zhao Shixun, Li Chunfeng immediately handed a telegram to the other party.

"Detachment leader, this is the telegram I just received from the column."

Since she could not reach the column radio station on time in the morning, she has been staying by the radio station almost all the time from morning to now. And just now, a column of radio stations that had been disappearing was finally turned on again.

Hearing this, he took the telegram and glanced at it, and Zhao Shixun nodded thoughtfully.

"The people from the special battalion are really right, the first column has indeed withdrawn from Nanyang Village and entered the mountains."

The conversation was closed, and Zhao Shixun handed the telegram to He Zhendong.

After taking it and glancing at it, He Zhendong suddenly remembered something, and said worriedly:

"Brother Shixun, since the Japanese army has occupied Nanyang Village, isn't it dangerous for the people of the first and second companies, they rushed over directly."

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun pondered for a while, and waved his hand gently.

"I'm not worried about this, the old immortal is very slippery, and he won't go straight into the village stupidly."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun looked at Hu Tian beside him and asked:

"Has Junko come back from the river?"

"No...... Brother Junko hasn't come back yet. ”

……

"You go and inform Dapeng and ask him to send a few more people to the river to have a look, and you must reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army."

"Hmm."

After Hu Tian left, Zhao Shixun picked up a few sentences of the message and looked at it.

"Officer Li, have you reported to the column what happened to us and a large group of Japanese troops in Shajiaozi?"

"I've sent it to them, but I haven't heard back yet, I received this one as soon as I turned it on."

"Okay, continue to contact us, and ask the column to tell us their specific location."

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun stood up and stretched comfortably.

Feeling that his body was wrinkled, Zhao Shixun called a soldier and asked him to inform the cooking team to boil some ginger soup for everyone, and give the soldiers the cold and moisture on their bodies.

……

Walking out of his shack, Zhao Shixun came to the place where the wounded were housed.

After this battle, more than 20 more people were wounded, including the personnel of the special service battalion. And because Shao Mengru was not here, most of the wounded were hastily wrapped in gauze, ready to wait for a good treatment after returning to the column.

As for the work of taking care of the wounded, it has been assigned to Qi Baoshan's fourth company. Since the ammunition they carried was almost depleted, the soldiers of the fourth company could now only act as temporary logisticians.
