On August 30 of the third year of Renhe, the time is approaching, the smoke of gunpowder over the Angara River has long been dissipated, and most of the officers and soldiers of the two officers and soldiers across the river have sunk into sleep, the difference is that the morale of the Russian army is high, and they may be able to sleep well, but the soldiers of the Qing army are not able to sleep too steadily, there is no other, today's daytime battle, the Qing army has crossed the Angara River several times on the wide front, all ended in failure, although the sharp artillery coverage gave the Russian army a heavy blow, However, the losses of the river-crossing troops who attacked on their own side were not small, more than 400 officers and men were heroic, and the wounded were not less than that, and the soldiers who lost sleep because they were worried about the battle situation were not small, of course, not every Qing officer and soldier who did not fall asleep was worried, at least not Zheng Zaishan and the officers and men of his reconnaissance battalion.

"Wu Yuankui."

Zheng Zaishan lay behind a big rock on the shore, his eyes were sharp like knives and he stared at the three, four, three heights on the other side for a long time, and when the time had come to strike, he called out in a low voice.

"Here!"

As soon as Zheng Zaishan's voice fell, a shadow covered in black oil mud appeared behind him like a ghost, this person is Captain Wu Yuankui, the leader of the sharp knife platoon of the reconnaissance battalion, a native of Jiaoao, Shandong, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is quite good at family martial arts.

"Take your people, remember, until the last resort, don't alarm the Russian troops in the bunker, go."

The tactics discussed had already been discussed in the past two days, and Zheng Zaishan would not talk much at this time, so he simply gave a few words of advice and gave the order to attack.

"Yes!"

After the order was given, Wu Yuankui didn't dare to slack off, and responded respectfully. Then he waved his hand to the back, and then crawled silently towards the river, and then six figures covered in black oil sludge also flashed out of the pile of rubble behind them, and also crawled forward, and after a while, they had quietly slipped into the turbulent river.

This section of the Angara River is not very wide. It is only 65 zhang up and down, but the water flow is quite turbulent. The right bank of the river is a pile of rocks, the left bank is the 343 highlands, the terrain is relatively complex, strictly speaking, it is not suitable for the army to cross the river, because of this, the Russian army's security here is far from being strict, except for a pillbox on the 343 heights, the rest of the pillboxes are the nearest are a mile away. In the dead of night, most of the Russian soldiers were huddled in the castle, and only about half a platoon of troops were scattered around the 343 heights to be responsible for guarding, and the vigilance was not too strong, and the existence of the seven Qing soldiers who swam across the night was not found.

The officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion are almost all generalists. Not only proficient in the use of various firearms, swimming, lurking and other special reconnaissance skills are extremely proficient, especially the soldiers led by Wu Yuankui are the top diving masters, even if the river is extremely fast, and most of the soldiers are still carrying heavy tow ropes, but they are not too difficult to swim. The seven officers and men were like seven big fish, almost silently taking advantage of the water to swim sideways to the opposite bank, and after only about two quarters of an hour, they had already forcibly crossed the Angara River, but they were not in a hurry to go ashore, but lay on the shallow water on the bank, adjusting their breathing, and quietly observing the deployment of the Russian troops on the bank of the river.

It's late at night. It's a cloudy day, although it's not that you can't see your fingers, maybe the visibility is really not high, although the Russian sentries can't find the seven Qing officers and soldiers who quietly smuggled over, but the Qing officers and soldiers are also difficult to see clearly the deployment of the Russian officers and soldiers on duty in these dark nights, in this case, it is obviously not easy to kill all the Russian sentries quietly, but for the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion with relevant training, it is just an ordinary thing, no, wait for the physical strength to recover a little, Wu Yuankui moved, but after seeing that he raised his hand and made a few quick gestures, the four soldiers who followed closely by his side immediately took off the leash and handed it to the two soldiers who stayed behind, and then dispersed and dived ashore in groups of two, as for Wu Yuankui himself, he flashed into the night like a lone ranger.

The sentinel operation went extremely smoothly, although the weapons held by the five Qing officers and soldiers who attacked were only two daggers in each person's hand, which could be used to assassinate those defenseless fixed posts, but it was more than enough, even if some of the Russian secret posts were extremely hidden, but for the soldiers of the Qing reconnaissance battalion who had long been accustomed to acting in the dark night, this kind of concealment was not enough to evade the keen sense of the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion. Even the two soldiers on duty outside the bunker could not escape Wu Yuankui's assassination, except for the Russian soldiers who were sleeping in the bunker, there was only a team of dozens of mobile sentinels still patrolling back and forth along the river bank.

Seven against ten, this battle is obviously not easy to fight, it's not that it can't be beaten, if you don't consider the size of the movement, with the combat power of the soldiers of the Qing army's reconnaissance battalion, it is definitely easy to kill this group of Russian soldiers, as for the moment, it is more difficult, but it is not difficult, no, after clearing the fixed post, the five soldiers who attacked quietly dived back to the shallow water on the shore, talked to each other with gestures, and the whole plan was silently discussed.

The patrol route of the ten-man patrol team of the Russian army is extremely fixed, that is, patrolling back and forth along the river bank in the defense area, going back and forth every two quarters of an hour or so, and most of the attention is focused on the river surface, and they have never found that the officers and soldiers of the Qing army's reconnaissance battalion have been lurking in the defense area, let alone that their various light and dark posts have long been uprooted by the Qing army, and they have always walked back and forth in such a dull manner, and the leather boots are heavily trampled on the muddy ground on the shore, and the sound of fluttering and fluttering is non-stop in the night.

Closer, closer, the unhurried Russian patrol team finally walked into the encirclement of the officers and soldiers of the Qing army's reconnaissance battalion, but saw that Wu Yuankui, who was the first to launch, flashed out of a boulder like a ghost, and silently pasted the last soldier in the Russian patrol team, raised his left hand, covered the soldier's mouth with lightning speed, and wiped his right hand between his neck, which had cut off his trachea and major artery, and his left hand broke again, after a soft "click", This unfortunate Russian soldier had lost his life silently, because of the sound of the rushing river and the heavy footsteps of the Russian army, the soldiers in front of him did not know that their comrades at the end of the team had died on the spot.

Wu Yuankui gently put the corpse of the Russian soldier who had died completely on the ground, his figure flashed again, and he leaned on the penultimate Russian soldier, as usual, it was another move to wipe his throat, and he was also very neat, and still did not alarm the Russian soldiers in front, of course, this is because of Wu Yuankui's boldness, but in fact, there is no lack of luck in it, but luck is usually unreliable, no, just when Wu Yuankui was just about to concoct the third Russian patrol post in the same way, the accident happened suddenly- The patrol sentry suddenly sneezed, and the movement was so loud that it immediately made the soldiers in front of them all turn around and look back, just by looking at it, Wu Yuankui, who was just about to make a move, was exposed to everyone's eyes!

If someone else, found on the occasion of such an assassination, ten of the best will be stiff, but Wu Yuankui is not in this list, not only did he not stop, but with a force under his feet, the whole person rushed out like an arrow from the string, with a wave of his right hand, the knife flashed, and he unceremoniously wiped off the trachea of the Russian patrol who sneezed before, and his feet did not stop going straight to the second Russian patrol post who had not yet reacted, at the same time, The officers and men of the Qing reconnaissance battalion, who had already discovered that something was wrong, also rushed out of the hiding place, and all of them moved extremely quickly, and before the Russian officers and soldiers could figure out the situation, the Qing scouts had already killed the front.

The Russian officers and soldiers were unlucky, because of laxity, at this time, the guns were carried diagonally, and when they were suddenly attacked, they didn't have time to take off the guns, let alone fire, but because they were carrying the guns, their movements were extremely inconvenient, and they were killed by the Qing scouts like this, and they didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they were almost killed on the spot, only one soldier had time to let out a half-scream, and his neck was cut.

"Signal!"

Although he successfully killed all the Russian patrol posts on the spot, Wu Yuankui's face was not a trace of joy, but he frowned, because he was not sure whether the half scream would alarm the Russian officers and soldiers in the bunker, fortunately, this luck was on the side of the Qing army, the bunker at the top of the hill was still lifeless, without the slightest reaction, as soon as he saw this, Wu Yuankui's heart finally put back in his stomach, and he didn't dare to postpone it any longer, so he hurriedly raised his hand and gave an order in a low voice, Then he saw a soldier take out an oiled paper bag from his trouser pocket, spread it out quickly, took out a box of matches, and polished three in a row.

"Cross the river!"

When the day had passed, Zheng Zaishan, who had been waiting for a full hour, finally saw the signal sent from the other side, and even if the tense heartstrings were loosened by more than half, he didn't dare to delay, waved his hand, and gave the order in a low voice, and then saw a group of officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion carrying several rafts into the water, and with the help of the already fixed towing ropes, they rowed desperately towards the opposite bank, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade of the first division also walked out of the dense forest not far from the shore. Carrying thick logs and rafts, they rushed to the shore and began to build a pontoon bridge...... (To be continued.)
