The unexpected appearance of Hexin Beach suddenly negated the defensive advantage that Zhao Shixun and the others had. Once the Japanese army also discovers there, what awaits Zhao Shixun and them will no longer be a question of whether they can hold back the devil, but whether they can evacuate safely!

Originally, Zhao Shixun planned to beat the Japanese army hard first, and strive to drag them down at the speed of going to Nanyang Village.

When he contacted the column after dawn, he quickly disengaged from the enemy by taking advantage of the natural barrier of the river and the superiority. In this way, the independent detachment was able to cover the column that did not know the enemy's situation from danger, and also to ensure that it would not suffer heavy losses.

However, the unexpected situation now made Zhao Shixun have to reconsider the battle plan he had made before.

As dawn approached, the vast valley gradually covered itself with a faint layer of mist, as usual. However, as the thunder in the distant sky got closer and closer, the fog that had just surged up was soon torn apart by the air current, and it was difficult to gather.

In the early summer weather, God is like a foolish child, playing the trick of thunder and rain with one hand.

Seeing that the sky on the other side of the river had begun to turn white, Zhao Shixun estimated that he would lose the cover of night in half an hour before he touched the sky.

Not daring to hesitate any longer, he immediately turned out of the bunker with He Zhendong.

Taking advantage of the pause of the Japanese shelling, Zhao Shixun and the others came to the ridge first and found Li Chunfeng, who was taking care of the lightly wounded.

"Officer Li, you hurry up and contact the radio station of the column, report to them the location of our encounter with the devil, and let the column prepare early!"

"Detachment leader, there are still hours and fifteen minutes to reach the agreed communication time, and besides, even if the phone is turned on, no one can be contacted."

Looking at Zhao Shixun, who suddenly appeared, Li Chunfeng asked with some puzzlement.

Before this, she had already informed Zhao Shixun of the specific contact time, and informed him that she would contact the column radio station on time at the scheduled time. Now that the time has only passed for half an hour, why did Li Chunfeng forget about it.

"The situation has changed, you immediately turn on the phone and try to contact the column radio, try it first!"

Hearing the resoluteness in Zhao Shixun's tone, Li Chunfeng didn't ask too much, and then asked his subordinates to turn on the radio and began to try to contact the communication department of the column.

Seeing Li Chunfeng start working, Zhao Shixun sent someone to call the old ghosts, Dapeng and Shunzi, and told them about the discovery of Hexintan, and asked them to be ready to evacuate at any time.

Hearing this amazing news, Dapeng and several people were also shocked.

You must know that this battle has been very smooth so far, and there is a river barrier, Dapeng They didn't expect the devil to threaten their side in a short time.

……

"Detachment leader, why don't I go over and take a look, maybe the river over there is much deeper than we thought?"

Hearing this, the old ghost stood up and offered to go to the field to investigate first.

But just as his words fell, Dapeng on the side waved his hand disapprovingly.

"...... What else is there to investigate, if you want me to say that we should accept it when we see it, and leave as soon as the devil doesn't turn around. As for the column, it will definitely be too late to contact you in an hour, I don't believe that the devil's pace can be faster than our radio station! ”

Knowing that the nearby Hexin Beach, which was conducive to the Japanese army's detour, Dapeng was already shaken by the necessity of this battle. In his opinion, it is impossible for the independent detachment to rely on the current strength of the Japanese army. And since they have successfully delayed the pace of the Japanese army, it is not a big deal to evacuate early.

"Brother Sexun, whether to leave or stay, you can get an idea."

Seeing that everyone had different opinions, He Zhendong didn't say much, and directly handed over the decision to Zhao Shixun.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun glanced at Li Chunfeng, who was still trying to contact the column, and then looked at the sky on the east bank of the river.

After a brief silence, Cho Se-hoon made up his mind. With the situation uncertain, he didn't want to blindly risk his own soldiers.

"Dapeng Shunzi, you two will return to the forward position immediately and organize everyone to withdraw from the battlefield and gather in the back mountain within five minutes. Remember, retreat in batches and never alarm the Japanese troops on the other side. ”

"Understood!"

Seeing Dapeng and Shunzi leaving, Zhao Shixun called the old ghost over again.

"Old ghost, you find a few people from the fourth company, and now go back the same way to find the old immortal them.

After you find them, let the old immortals look for boats or shallow places upstream to cross the river, and then walk the mountain road to Nanyang Village. Remember, don't walk along the official road by the river, understand? ”

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later, when all the teams had assembled on the anticline of the hillside, Zhao Shixun decisively withdrew from the battlefield with everyone. As for the direction of retreat, it is to continue along the west bank of the river towards Nanyang Village.

The reason why he chose to evacuate along the west bank of the river instead of entering the mountains was mainly because Zhao Shixun did not want this Japanese army to get out of his sight. Although he gave up blocking these Japanese troops for now, because he had not been able to contact the radio of the column, Zhao Shixun finally decided to keep a safe distance from this enemy, so that the troops could not only disengage from the enemy, but also know the movements of this devil at any time.

After more than twenty minutes, the group climbed over a hillside covered with vegetation and entered a bare valley.

……

"Oops......."

Suddenly, with a miserable scream, Dapeng, who was walking in front of the team, fell on all fours.

Seeing the company commander fall, several nearby soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

At this moment, Zhao Shixun, who was walking behind the team, also heard the sound and followed.

"What's going on?"

"Captain of the detachment, look, how can there be such a thing in this valley, it's just slippery."

Hearing this, he took the stone in Dapeng's hand, and Zhao Shixun turned on the flashlight on his body and took a look.

"Cobblestone ......."

Looking at the bulging stone in his hand, Zhao Shixun immediately used a flashlight to shine around.

As far as the eye can see, there are a lot of such bulging pebbles in the middle of this valley.

"There should be a lot of flash floods in this valley for these pebbles. If I'm correct, the outlet of this valley should be where the riverbank is located. ”

Looking at the pebbles in Zhao Shixun's hand, He Zhendong on the side said lightly.

Hearing this, he nodded, and Zhao Shixun threw away the stone in his hand.

"Everyone, pay attention, slow down and watch your step!"

After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun turned on the flashlight and strode in front of the team.

……

At 4:20 a.m., more than 200 meters southeast of Hexintan.

Looking at the river immersed in the mist, Tianbao, who was sweating with a sweaty face, slowly took out his box cannon.

"Company commander, it's going to be dawn this day, you said that we just crossed the river with such a swagger, will the little devils find out? Besides, I've been listening to the gunfire on the other side for a while, so they can't have withdrawn sooner, right? ”

Hearing this, he wiped the sweat on his face carelessly, and Tianbao stared at the river beach that appeared and disappeared in the mist, and a trace of green gas flashed on his face.

"I can't care so much, besides, the devil is coming out from under our noses, we made a big mistake. Therefore, even if there are knives in the sky today, we have to rush back to support the political commissars! ”

Looking at the only place to cross the river within a radius of dozens of miles, Tianbao, the commander of the first company of the special service battalion, said almost through gritted teeth.

Just last night, Tianbao, who had been leading troops to guard the mouth of the monolith, suddenly found that fierce gunshots and explosions rang out behind him. It wasn't until he returned with his troops for unknown reasons that he found that the Xixiaohe pontoon bridge behind him had been captured by a group of Japanese puppet troops.

Not only that, but even the direction of Nanyang Village was a pot of porridge, and it was obvious that a large force of the enemy had attacked the column station.

Faced with this situation that made him jaw-dropping, Tianbao first wanted to recapture the pontoon bridge and then kill back to support. But he had no choice but to have no heavy weapons, so in the face of the Japanese troops guarding the bridge with heavy machine guns and grenadiers, Tianbao had to give up the plan to attack the pontoon bridge and kill it back after paying the price of more than 20 people.

However, after the failure to capture the bridge, Tianbao did not give up easily. He followed the river, led the people to march straight upstream overnight, preparing to wade across the river from a familiar river beach, and then kill back to Nanyang Village from the west bank.

However, just as he was about to lead his people to the vicinity of the riverbank, the sky in front of him suddenly lit up, followed by fierce gunfire and explosions.

In the face of such a fierce firefight, Tianbao thought that Riesling had brought the main force back, so he hurriedly rushed over with people.
