Chapter Forty-Seven: A Narrow Encounter

A sudden rainstorm greatly slowed down everyone's march.

But it was also because of this heavy rain that everyone had to temporarily change the route of advance, and even more miscalculated the speed of action led by Lei Zhen. Combining all the factors, Fujiwara Kaede finally made a terrible mistake in his prediction of the whole battle...... The troops led by Lei Zhen and the [***] guerrillas who protected Zhao Jun actually met in advance!

The dense torrential rain constantly consumed everyone's physical strength and will, greatly affecting their sight and hearing, coupled with the rugged mountain road, when they finally climbed a hillside, they suddenly found that a small army of fully armed troops appeared in front of them, and the distance between the two sides was no more than fifty meters!

"Don't shoot!"

At the same time, he shouted this sentence and stopped a fire in time and it was the two captains who stopped it. They all knew in their hearts that in such a torrential rain and without any traces to trace, it was absolutely impossible for the enemy behind them to catch up like an unpredictable prophet and stop in such a fateful place!

Sun Xilai and Lei Zhen's eyes collided fiercely, looking at the man who no longer had a disguise on his face, revealing his true face, Sun Xilai's face was pale like paper because he was too seriously injured, and the wound was stained by the rain, and he was constantly trembling, and after a long time, Sun Xilai squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Lei Zhen, you did a good job!" ”

The guerrillas beside Sun Xilai clenched the weapons in their hands at the same time, and some of them even made a "whoosh" and pulled up the bolt of the weapon. Only those who are familiar with Sun Xilai can hear the true weight from this simple sentence.

The small army behind Lei Zhen, although it was also drenched in heavy rain for an hour or two, was still in good spirits, obviously did not encounter a tough opponent, and still maintained a considerable fighting spirit. If at this time, he no longer knew that this turtle son bastard used the same method to lead the pursuers behind him in their direction, Sun Xilai would be a complete fool!

"Each other, each other!"

Looking at this guerrilla force that could provoke a war at any time, Lei Zhen still had a calm smile on his face, but Sun Shangxiang, who was beside him, couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy.

After only four days of parting ways at the first junction outside the suburbs of Shanghai, this guerrilla force, which had considerable combat effectiveness and rich experience in actual combat, was crippled.

They lost five men, which was already a terrible blow for a partisan force of only fourteen men. What's more, including the captain Sun Xilai, these nine soldiers who are all wounded all over their bodies are still strong and still have a crazy murderous aura, but the kind of self-confidence and pride in their eyes that they have only experienced bloody battles and slowly cultivated in their continuous growth and success are all ...... Gone!

Sun Shangxiang really can't imagine what kind of tragic battles he has gone through to make these soldiers who have been through a hundred battles and should have been tempered into steel like this in just a few days!

Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao exchanged worried glances, as the two of them thought of a more important issue at the same time...... Now that they have met the [***] guerrillas who are protecting Zhao Jun here, how far is the special operations force of the intelligence organization that has been chasing and killing behind the guerrillas these days?

"Behind us, a pursuit party of fifty highly trained agents, kept traps and set up suspicious formations along the way, and kept a distance from them for about eight hours."

What the ghost and Luo Sanpao could think of, of course Lei Zhen could also think of, he stared straight at Sun Xilai, and asked in a deep voice, "What about you?" ”

Sun Xilai knew the subtext that Lei Zhen didn't say, everyone led the enemy behind each other, and made such a small move, so don't say anyone. And Lei Zhen can leave the other party behind all the time, leaving eight hours of roundabout space, no fight at all, let alone consumption, this is also Lei Zhen's ability!

"The enemy behind us was my army, more than forty men. They are by no means ordinary little devils, divided into two teams, one of which often chases after us like a duck, and the other always comes out of nowhere and disappears in a blink of an eye after punching us. Each of them had a bonus machine gun in his hand, and the trigger bullet was like rain, and it was so fast and accurate that we couldn't look up. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Xilai's face was covered with thick bitterness, and he said astringently: "These little devils have been chasing after us for the past few days, and we can only leave our brother's corpse behind and keep running forward." If the little devil pursues us in the rain, then it is likely that he will only be half an hour away from us. ”

As soon as he heard the word "flower machine gun", Lei Zhen couldn't help frowning. In 1926, the Gongxian Arsenal built by China's Beiyang Political Axe copied the German MP18 submachine gun, manufactured its own submachine gun, and used the most popular 7.63 mm Mauser pistol special bullet at that time, which was commonly known as the "flower machine gun".

Such a submachine gun, the army led by China [***], during the anti-encirclement and suppression and the Long March, once captured and equipped a large number of [***] troops.

No wonder such a guerrilla force with rich experience in actual combat was beaten so badly in just a few days! Based on the military's understanding and preference for weapons, weapons such as submachine guns will only be equipped in small quantities in special forces. No matter how rich Sun Xilai's actual combat experience is, no matter how brave they are, but they have limited war resources, limited training, and too backward weapons and equipment, and they have left the battlefield they are most familiar with, and they are far from being able to fight against a special force composed of veterans who have also grown up in the war!

"We had a bad first acquaintance, but I don't think that's a reason for us to fight to the death." Lei Zhen stared at Sun Xilai and said in a deep voice: "The distance between us is less than fifty meters, as long as we fire, we will guide the army behind you in the right direction, no matter who can still stand here after half a minute, there is only a loser between you and me!" ”

"That's right!"

The interface is Zhao Jun. Bypassing the second egg who protected her with her body, she walked directly to the middle of Sun Xilai and Lei Zhen, she looked Lei Zhen up and down, she carefully looked at Lei Zhen's eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon, carefully looked at Lei Zhen's pair of hands that were covered with thick calluses and were immaculately stable, and carefully looked at Lei Zhen's burly body, which contained as heavy and calm as a mountain.

"For a few days, whenever I had time, I wondered, what kind of character is that thunderstorm who has also offered a reward of 100,000 oceans and can single-handedly turn the entire Shanghai Beach upside down?"

A satisfied smile rose unabashedly from Zhao Jun's lips, and she said angrily: "As soon as others mention you, they will put the name of Xie Jinyuan's apprentice on your head, as if this can prove the value of your existence." But looking at this world, there are not many people who are better than Xie Jinyuan, why are their apprentices not more famous than Lei Zhen? In my opinion, if a person wants to succeed, what he really has to rely on is not an extraordinary family background or an opportunity obtained by chance, but his own hard work and hard work. Lei Zhen, you really didn't disappoint me. ”

Xie Jinyuan once told Lei Zhen that in this world, especially in a metropolis like Shanghai, where people become billionaires every day and people starve to death on the streets every day, there is no luck in becoming famous, and there must be something extraordinary. And this Zhao Jun, although she is only a twenty-one or twelve-year-old girl, she has a set of strange charms that people can't dislike her and can't help but get close to her!

Her words and deeds are straightforward, but she can see the other party's extraordinaryness at a glance, and just highlight it lightly, she can win the favor of the other party as quickly as possible. The most important thing is that she can see the advantages of others, and she is sincerely recognizing the advantages of others, which does not contain a trace of impurities, let alone a trace of hypocrisy.

It is no wonder that Chen Gongbo, an old fox who has been in the political arena for decades and has changed a few masters but is still alive and well, capsized in the perineum gutter and was slapped with a cold knife by a little girl Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun stood in the middle, and she said to Sun Xilai and Lei Zhen: "Although we are loyal to different political parties and have different political beliefs, we have the same position and the same enemies before the national righteousness of saving the country and the people and returning our rivers and mountains. Therefore, at this time, we should work together to fight against a strong enemy. After all, we should be friends, not enemies, right? ”

Seeing that Lei Zhen and Sun Xilai were still there like two wooden pestles, Zhao Jun said indifferently: "I know that at this fateful time, it takes too much courage to trust a group of strangers and put down the gun in your hand. You are all excellent soldiers, and you are not afraid of death, but you must be worthy of your mission. But please think about it, the search and arrest team formed by this soldier is not far behind us, and if the gunfire here is fired, it will be tantamount to tipping off to them. It doesn't matter who is alive after a minute, but for us, after a fight that is absolutely meaningless, there is no winner. ”

Lei Zhen looked at this girl who still had a childish aura on her face, but could stop in the middle of the two armies to talk, with no face, and even more able to say a word, he suddenly smiled.

The words that Zhao Jun said were exactly what he thought in his heart, but these words, coming out of Zhao Jun's mouth, were undoubtedly much more effective than Lei Zhen himself.

After experiencing an absolutely unpleasant first acquaintance and tricks, the two captains, Lei Zhen and Sun Xilai, needed a middleman like Zhao Jun too much to ease the antagonism between them.

"Miss Zhao, you're wrong."

Hearing Lei Zhen's words, Sun Xilai and his guerrillas all looked tense, and even Zhao Jun couldn't help frowning.

"I, Lei Zhen, am a wild boy running around, that is, I have no political party allegiance, and I have no political beliefs. And these people around me, like me, are just some like-minded brothers who are willing to help me send my sister and two children back to my hometown! ”

Listening to Lei Zhen's words, Zhao Jun could clearly feel that the hostility of the guerrillas on Sun Xilai's side had greatly decreased. With the same enemies and no partisanship and no political conflicts, what reason is there to fight to the death?

"And one thing, if we do get angry, I won't be a winner, but I definitely won't lose!" Speaking of this, the smile on Lei Zhen's face became even brighter, "Could you please look back?" ”

In the face of such a strong enemy as Lei Zhen, no one dared to turn back, whether it was Captain Sun Xilai or the guerrillas under him! But they could clearly hear the sound of a bolt being pulled behind them.

Silently circling behind the guerrillas were the Monkey King and the Rabbit, armed with a Thompson submachine gun and a Czech squad light machine gun. In the case that the weapons and numbers of the two sides are already out of balance, if a battle really breaks out, behind the guerrillas, the monkey king and the rabbit who occupy the absolutely favorable terrain can make the guerrillas suffer fatal blows in an instant as soon as they fire, and as long as they are flanked by the thunderbolts, they can definitely destroy the troops in front of them at the smallest cost!

Sun Xilai, who has never been in contact with special forces, and doesn't even know that in this world, there is this kind of special forces that advocate the supremacy of firepower, can adapt to any terrain, and complete all kinds of unconventional combat missions, of course, he doesn't know that with the operational standards of special forces. Before ascending this ridge, Lei Zhen had already made the necessary arrangements.

Lei Zhen chose a "single arrow" formation, such a formation that can maximize the speed of movement on the ridge, and can ensure the strongest firepower output when encountering the enemy head-on in a narrow road. However, such a formation also has its own weaknesses, that is, if the enemy launches a surprise attack from the left and right flanks, the resistance and counterattack power of the "single arrow" formation will be too weak.

In this case, the machine gunner rabbit, who is proficient in all kinds of acrobatics and can walk on the ground in the mountains, takes on the task of guarding the left and right wings. When Lei Zhen and Sun Xilai met in a narrow way, the rabbit and the monkey king had already taken the opportunity to detour back to Sun Xilai's rear, forming a situation of front and back.

"Miss Zhao is right, we should be friends, not enemies. Now ......"

Speaking of this, the smile on Lei Zhen's face looked brighter, but in his smile, you couldn't see even a trace of enthusiasm, and what he said was even more straightforward and direct, "Please, put down the gun in your hand first, okay?" ”

In this case, if you put down your weapon first, it is almost the same as being disarmed by the enemy on the battlefield! The eyes of all the team members fell on the face of Captain Sun Xilai, in the face of this absolutely unfavorable situation of being copied by others, in the face of Lei Zhen, a person whose whole body exudes a trace of murderous aura and will definitely kill if he disagrees, Sun Xilai was silent.

If it weren't for Zhao Jun, with Sun Xilai's temper, he would really dare to play with Lei Zhen, but he couldn't help but hesitate now!

"Please see clearly, we have a squad light machine gun, six Thompson submachine guns, and one rifle on our side. You only have one light machine gun, and the rest is just one bullet, and you have to pull the bolt of the rifle or pistol again, and at such a close distance, most of you can only fire one bullet at most, and you will be beaten into a sieve. Lei Zhen looked at Zhao Jun, who was standing in the middle of them, and said indifferently: "If both of us open fire, the worst death should be this Miss Zhao, who is worth as much as 100,000 oceans." Anyway, she's not my task, she's not my acquaintance, and I definitely don't care if she's alive or dead. Of course, it would be better if any of you could bravely rush out and protect Miss Zhao with your own body before the fire. I wouldn't mind using my submachine gun to attack a meat target. ”

Hearing Lei Zhen's words, Zhao Jun's face also changed.

She clearly knows that a person like Lei Zhen can really be called iron-minded. Once on the battlefield, no matter what the situation, he will strive to grasp the absolute initiative, rather than putting his hope on the spontaneous consciousness of the other side. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Lei Zhen to let his troops put down their guns first or at the same time!

Lei Zhen's gaze skipped over Zhao Jun and fell directly on Sun Xilai's face, and said in a deep voice: "Either resist, be wiped out by us, and fail the mission." Either put down your gun and bet that I won't treat you as friends, or even fight alongside you. ”

Looking at the aggressive thunder shock, Zhao Jun's heart suddenly realized...... Lei Zhen is dealing the final blow to the remaining self-esteem of Captain Sun Xilai and his guerrillas. Regardless of whether there are political differences, whether there are differences in positions, after all, they are two different troops, this heavy rain and two throws chasing the enemy, forcing them together, if they need to fight side by side, they need both sides to work together, Lei Zhen will have absolute command by himself! And what he is showing now is that he is stronger, more sensitive, and more experienced in actual combat than Captain Sun Xilai's command skills and domineering.

It takes too much time for the two troops to get to know each other and then cooperate closely, and these two troops who are on the run have absolutely no such time. So Lei Zhen chose a more effective, more direct, and more dangerous method!

Sun Xilai almost gritted his teeth, and the people closest to him could clearly see the exploding green tendons on the captain's face.

Sun Xilai really fucking wanted to shout "Fight and fight", but as a captain, he understands better that if such a sentence is thrown out, his guerrillas and Zhao Jun will face a fatal blow. If he still wants to complete the task and bring Zhao Jun back alive, he must swallow this breath, no matter how much the winning rate of this gamble Lei Zhen opens for him, he must bet!

Sun Xilai slowly put down the gun in his hand, and just before he gave orders to the people behind him, he heard Lei Zhen say something absolutely unexpected: "Put the gun down!" ”

coerced others for a long time, but Lei Zhen ordered the people around him to put down the guns in his hands before Sun Xilai came.

Zhao Jun looked at Lei Zhen, and the meaning of appreciation in her eyes became stronger. Sun Xilai had been temporarily subdued by Lei Zhen's hard work, but Lei Zhen suddenly gave the order first, because he was unwilling to damage Sun Xilai's personal reputation in the guerrillas, let alone affect Sun Xilai's command efficiency over the entire guerrilla force.

Watching Lei Zhen stride over, Zhao Jun, who had seen many famous and wealthy people in Shanghai, involuntarily moved his body and watched him walk straight towards Sun Xilai.

Looking at Sun Xilai, whose eyes were mixed with grief, unwillingness and anger at the same time, Lei Zhen only used one sentence to make Sun Xilai's eyes suddenly ignite two bonfires, "Do you want to avenge your brother?" ”

"Yes!"

Of course he wants to, he's dreaming about it these days!

Without Lei Zhen to speak, the ghost took out the map carefully wrapped in a tarpaulin from his backpack and spread it out in front of Lei Zhen and Sun Xilai. After only a few glances, Lei Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, he took out a red and blue pencil, and stretched the two marching routes to the front line in a void, and finally when they intersected in a certain corner of this mountain, the ghost who held up the map for Lei Zhen couldn't help but change his complexion.

After being silent for a long time, Lei Zhen asked: "You said that there are more than forty of them, divided into two troops, one is chasing behind you, advancing step by step, forcing you to keep running forward, while the other force, with the guerrilla tactics you are best at, constantly attacking you and harassing you?" ”

Sun Xilai nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”

Lei Zhen suddenly asked the ghost talent, "Which of these two troops do you think is their main force?" ”

The ghost said without thinking: "Of course, it is the unit that does not give the guerrillas a gap step by step." From the strategic point of view of the opposing commander, they are the real protagonists, and the troops that constantly guerrilla and use guerrilla tactics to attack the guerrillas can only be regarded as a role that shouts and cheers for the protagonist, in my opinion, they are at most the strength of a squad. ”

Lei Zhen raised his head, looked at Captain Sun Xilai, who also looked solemn and listened carefully to their analysis, and said with a smile: "In this case, let's just join forces to put on a good show, let you continue to run forward, and let my large army continue to chase forward steadily, and we will be responsible for helping you clean up that little role that is out of the game, and by the way, help you change the weapons in your hands, what do you think?" ”
