After the words were closed, Zhao Shixun was the first to take off the eight master ashes on his body, and ripped off the sweat towel and short coat inside, revealing a bronzed muscle covered with scars.

Leaning over to carefully wrap his two box cannons, he tied them around his neck with his sleeves. After doing this, Zhao Shixun asked Dapeng to find a hemp rope and began to tie one end to his waist.

4 "Brother...... Let me do this, I'm good at water! ”

Seeing that Zhao Shixun was going to be the first to pull the rope across the river, Hu Tian, the "temporary" guard beside him, hurriedly pushed away the crowd and stepped forward, pulled the rope and tied it to himself.

However, this time, Zhao Shixun did not give Hu Tian this opportunity, and at the same time politely refused other people's requests.

"You kid just stay here, just help me get my stuff."

Forcefully tying the rope firmly, Zhao Shixun handed the folder and the big knife he was carrying to Hu Tian, and then handed the other end of the rope to Dapeng, who looked embarrassed.

This kid is a landlubber, so he hasn't been able to interject just now.

In the end, Zhao Shixun dragged the rope and slowly approached the dark river under the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone.

Although it was already summer, the Xixiao River in the second half of the night was still a little cold, especially when he walked to the middle of the river, Zhao Shixun, who was hit by the chest-deep turbulent river, could not stand firm at all.

And the rope tied to his waist is like a giant python hiding in the dark river at this moment, constantly pulling Zhao Shixun's body.

Suddenly, I don't know what the soles of my feet stepped on, Zhao Shixun's feet slipped and his whole body fell into the water, and he lost his balance in an instant.

In the turbulent current, although he tried to stand up several times, he was suspended by his feet washed by the current, and he could not step on the bottom of the river at all.

In the struggle, realizing that it was difficult for him to regain his body's balance in the turbulent water, Zhao Shixun looked at the dark embankment opposite, simply gave up wading across the river, and directly floated up and swam towards the opposite bank.

And the Dapeng people on the shore were desperately staring at the figure in front of them with wide eyes. However, as Zhao Shixun dived into the water, everyone suddenly lost their goal and began to panic.

Just when everyone was thinking about whether to light a torch to illuminate it, Dapeng suddenly felt the rope in his hand tighten, and then subconsciously wanted to pull back.

"Don't pull ...... Otherwise, your detachment leader will not be able to swim through it if he is tired! ”

With a snort, He Zhendong, who had been standing next to him, pulled the rope in Dapeng's hand, and then quickly moved forward for more than 20 meters.

As an authentic Jiangnan person, he knows very well that the most taboo thing for this kind of person who crosses the river with a rope is that someone is pulling behind him.

And seeing the rope flying quickly into the river from He Zhendong's hand, the nearby soldiers were all nervous and didn't dare to come out.

Seeing that the rope was getting shorter and shorter on the shore, Hu Tian on the side wanted to go up and pull it in a hurry. But before he could get started, the old ghost standing beside him suddenly let out a low shout.

"Huh? It seems that the detachment leader has reached the other side! ”

After a while, just when He Zhendong couldn't help but want to pull the rope back, Zhao Shixun's tired roar finally came from the opposite side of the downstream.

"Find a tree or a rock and tie the rope tightly!"

……

Hearing Zhao Shixun's roar, He Zhendong hurriedly pulled the other end of the rope to a thick old tree by the river, and tied a dead knot after wrapping the rope a few times.

Not long after, as the rope shook again, Zhao Shixun pulled the tied hemp rope and waded back.

Wet ashore, he looked at the crowd around him and wiped a handful of muddy water from his face.

"Don't be afraid, the deepest part of the river can be over everyone's chest, so everyone can hold on to the rope and walk with confidence."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun suddenly remembered something, and then walked up to Qi Baoshan and admonished:

"Heavy machine guns must be disassembled before crossing the river, and mortars are no different. In addition, if the heavy machine gun gets into the muddy water during the river crossing, you must immediately arrange for someone to disassemble and wipe the gun, and you must make sure that the heavy machine gun can fire at any time, understand? ”

"Don't worry, detachment leader, I have arranged for someone to disassemble the heavy machine gun and mortar gun, and I will be able to cross the river soon."

Hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction, and Zhao Shixun immediately gave the order to cross the river.

"The people of the fourth company crossed the river first, and the third company followed, don't worry, you must hold on to the rope!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun carried another box of mortar shells on his shoulder, and then pulled the hemp rope again into the cold river water.

Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Shixun, more and more soldiers took off their shirts and began to wade across the river bare-chested.

In the dark, the river, which is less than twenty meters wide, seems to be easy to pass, but when everyone enters the water, they find that the cold river can easily reach people's chests.

And for some of the short warriors, the river had even reached the neck.

Slowly, after everyone crossed the river with weapons on their shoulders, Li Chunfeng, who had been standing on the shore and was in charge of the radio station, was in trouble at this time.

Looking at the shirtless soldiers in the water around him, although Li Chunfeng wanted to say that he didn't dare, he was always embarrassed to open his mouth to ask for help from others.

Gradually, the people around her were left with two telegraph men with batteries and radios on their backs.

"Officer Li, let's hurry up and cross the river, or the detachment leader will urge them again in a while. Don't worry, the two of us are walking behind you, and something will definitely catch you. ”

The words were closed, and the two soldiers, who couldn't wait a little, also carried the heavy radio and batteries wrapped in oilcloth, and walked to the river to look at the pale Li Chunfeng.

Seeing this scene, Li Chunfeng gritted his teeth, untied the gun belt on his waist and grabbed it in his hand. Walking in front of the two, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk down the river.

In the dark night, as the hemp rope trembled from time to time, more and more warriors crossed the river.

Standing on the shore, Zhao Shixun pulled a soldier carrying a machine gun ashore, and then looked at the shadow behind the other party and asked:

"How many people are in the back?"

"Report to the detachment leader, and there are three of them in the back."

Hearing these three words, Zhao Shixun's face suddenly sank.

"Oops...... How did I forget that there was a! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun hurriedly took the flashlight from Hu Tian beside him and shone it towards the dark river.

In the churning river, the light of the flashlight soon hit a soldier carrying a radio battery.

In the next second, Li Chunfeng, who was walking in front of the soldier, also revealed.

"Hold on, don't be in a hurry when you go slowly!"

……

Hearing Zhao Shixun's shout, Li Chunfeng, who was holding the rope with both hands, turned pale with fright, but still stubbornly showed a smile.

"I'm fine......."

But in the next second, when she opened her mouth to speak, she was choked by a mouthful of water and coughed violently, and her shaking body sank into the water.

"Director Li, are you okay?!"

Seeing this, the warrior who followed closely behind her subconsciously reached out and pulled it, but he didn't want the radio in his hand to slip off his shoulder.

"Oops radio!"

The fighters at the back noticed that the radio had slipped and were so frightened that they exclaimed on the spot.

However, since he couldn't keep his hands free, he could only watch dry.

At the last moment, Li Chunfeng, who had just stood up from the river, suddenly let go of his left hand pulling the rope, leaned out and grabbed the radio.

However, although she caught the radio, she was carried away from the rope by the river.

Poof......!

Seeing this, Zhao Shixun, who had been staring at the other party, threw the flashlight backwards, and then ran along the river in a few steps and jumped into the river.

Quickly swam to the other party's side, Zhao Shixun grabbed the other party's thin arm, and then pulled it hard onto his back.

"Hold me, I'll take you back."

……

Walking ashore with the support of everyone, Zhao Shixun looked at Li Chunfeng, who was sitting on the ground with a radio station, and gently rubbed the other party's wet hair.

"Hu Tian, give Officer Li some of the sugar water you hid to drink, and then put your dry coat on Officer Li."

"Oh...... Brother, how do you know that I am sugar water? ”

Hearing this, he was a little reluctant to smash his mouth, Hu Tian untied the kettle from his body and handed it to Zhao Shixun.

took the kettle and stuffed it into Li Chunfeng's arms, Zhao Shixun comforted the other party in a low voice, and then got up and said loudly:

"Rest in place and put your weapons together!"

Before the battle began, Zhao Shixun gave everyone a fifteen-minute rest, and by the way, everyone was asked to sort out the muddy water on their weapons to prevent the problem of dumb fire in the next battle.

……

As soon as the time came, Zhao Shixun immediately led everyone to follow the predetermined plan and began to march towards the ambush position.

……

Thundered......

Before dawn, the rolling thunder of early summer began to echo through the valley as a bright bolt of lightning pierced the inky sky. At the same time, the damp mountain wind suddenly became stronger, and the clothes on the people's bodies were crackling.

Soon, after climbing the second hillside, the view in front of everyone suddenly widened.

Under the background of the lightning that pierced the sky from time to time, a river that meandered seventy or eighty meters below everyone reflected the waves.

"Brother Shixun, this should be Sha Kid. You see, the river turns right from here into a big bay and goes straight to the south. ”

Hearing this, he nodded, and just when Zhao Shixun wanted to take out the map to confirm it again, in the northeast direction of everyone, the sporadic firelight also came out of the darkness and faintly walked here.

Seeing this, Zhao Shixun immediately shouted loudly:

"The third company immediately set up cover along the hillside, move quickly, use tools if you have tools, and bayonets if you don't have tools!"

"Yes!"

"In addition to the main and auxiliary marksmen, the people of the fourth company also came over to help the third company dig trenches."

"Yes!"

……

West Creek, Sha Waist Bay.

Listening to the bursts of heart-pounding thunder in the sky, the Japanese captain instinctively shrunk his neck. Although he has been instilled with the spirit of bushido since he was a child, he still feels faintly uneasy in his heart in the face of the majesty of nature.

"Taijun, it's going to change, you better put on a raincoat quickly."

He received a raincoat from a Japanese soldier, and the interpreter draped it over the Japanese captain with a flattering face.
