Among the fleeing residents, in addition to the boatman Chen Bo, and the mayor of Wu who ran with a pale face, he fell far behind the crowd, and relied on the support of others to prevent him from falling.

After Li Xiaodong asked Uncle Chen, he hurriedly led a few people forward, and Company Commander Li helped Mayor Wu and asked, "How many enemies have come?"

"I don't know, I don't know!"

Mayor Wu grabbed his hand and said, "Company Commander Li, please, quickly send troops to save people, my family, and so many people in the town, are all trapped in the town!"

Company Commander Li was embarrassed for a while and said, "Now that the enemy situation is unknown, I can't rush to send troops. ”

He turned around and beckoned, and ordered a few of his men to hurry to the town to reconnoiter the enemy.

Mayor Wu was anxious, rushed to Li Xiaodong's side, knelt down and begged: "Commissioner Li, Commissioner Li, please, tell Company Commander Li quickly, save people quickly! The Red Turban Army is killing people in the town!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Company Commander Li won't sit idly by, you calm down and go down to rest first......"

Li Xiaodong asked him to help him up, and then went to the officers' conference room with Company Commander Li and Leng Ranbing to discuss countermeasures with several company officers.

Not long after, a soldier who had been scouting the enemy came back and reported that the enemy, about 500 men, had surrounded the market town, blocked the roads in and out, and was building fortifications.

It didn't take long for several soldiers who had reconnoitred the enemy situation to return, and some of them were wounded, and reported to Li Xiaodong and others that they encountered an enemy detachment and exchanged fire.

"Those are enemy scouts, and if they find out that there is only one company here, they will definitely storm the camp. Leng Ran said conclusively.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.

Company Commander Li's company is only a Category B unit responsible for guarding and isolating mutant villagers, and with less than 200 soldiers, it can fight against the elite of the Red Turban Army of more than 500 who dare to infiltrate behind enemy lines and make a roundabout.

Company Commander Li did not dare to be careless, and immediately issued an order to gather all available soldiers, set up barricades and dig trenches at the slope outside the camp, and prepare to meet the enemy.

Li Xiaodong didn't understand military affairs, so he couldn't just mix in and command, so he could only sit in the room with Shijie, Li Guanxi, and Chen Bo, drinking bitter tea.

If the enemy soldiers occupy the town and do not retreat, and Chen Bo's ships are not repaired, he, a passerby, can only stay here, with a group of soldiers and a large group of mutated villagers, and deal with more than 500 fierce Red Turban troops.

He never expected to encounter such a thing, and he was very depressed in his heart.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, as Leng Ran Bing expected, the sound of gunfire was heard, and the battle suddenly began.

Li Xiaodong led Shijie and Li Guanxi to the back mountain in a hurry, picked up the binoculars, and looked down the hillside.

I saw that in the woods under the hillside, about 100 enemy soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms, steel helmets, and some of them had red scarves on their arms, led by a tall officer, carried AKs and cats with low waists, and launched an attack on the position set up by Company Commander Li on the slope.

The clatter of gunfire rang out like popping beans, with the occasional burst of cannons.

Li Xiaodong could see clearly that those enemy soldiers were very military-literated, and as soon as the guns rang out, they lay down in pieces, and the one who took the lead beckoned forward, and they grabbed their guns and jumped up, while aiming and shooting, they alternately advanced, and under the cover of the mortars in the rear, they moved forward calmly and very oppressively at a speed that was not particularly fast.

It is like a forest, and it is like a fire.

The marksmanship of the Red Turban Army was very accurate, and the speed of shooting was not frequent, but every few shots, someone on Company Commander Li's side screamed and fell, and in the rear of the enemy soldiers, the Red Turban Army also set up two mortars, two people per gun, squatting in the open area, blaming rapid fire, one after another, bombarding Company Commander Li's position.

Suddenly, a fire cloud rose into the sky and exploded not far from Company Commander Li.

A soldier was blown up into the air, dragging a long scream, falling headfirst and foot on the ground, rolling down the hillside.

The man was not yet dead, holding his broken arm and wailing loudly, an enemy non-commissioned officer leading the group quickly sprang out from behind the tree, kicked him down, erected his AK rifle, pointed a bayonet at his heart, and stabbed him with a swift stab.

The man screamed in a terrible way, grabbed the gun with one arm, struggled with all his might, and finally stood up and died under the bayonet.

The enemy non-commissioned officer indifferently collected his bayonet, kicked the corpse away, and then crouched down and continued to shoot up the hillside.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Li Lianchang was so angry that his lungs exploded.

Seeing the enemy soldiers getting closer and closer, seeing the shells coming one after another, he could only hide in the trench with his head down and defend with his subordinates.

At the critical moment, a dull and lengthy gunshot rang out.

The enemy non-commissioned officer, who was hiding behind a tree and only poked out half of his head to shoot, was shot half of his head off, and his whole body was splashed with blood, and he rolled to the bottom of the hill along with the steel helmet that had been knocked down.

Li Xiaodong put down the binoculars and looked at the side where the gun was fired.

I saw that Leng Ranbing had climbed to a tall tree at some point, and a Soviet-Russian sniper rifle with a long mahogany handle in his hand was hiding in the dense canopy, aiming down the hillside.

"Well played! It's cold, God!"

Li Guanxi also saw it, his eyes showed excitement and admiration, and the love in his heart was even better.

There was another gunshot, and Leng Ranbing was shocked and retreated.

The tall enemy officer at the bottom of the hill fell down and rolled to the bottom of the hillside.

Two gunshots rang out, knocking out the enemy officer and the non-commissioned officer leading the team, and also disrupting the offensive rhythm of the enemy soldiers.

Company Commander Li suddenly felt like a divine help, waved his pistol and ordered loudly, "Quick! Their commander is dead! Throw out all the grenades, give Lao Tzu a countercharge, and kill these bastards!"

In an instant, countless grenades flew down the hillside in clusters, rumbling into clouds of fire, blowing up dust, and causing the enemy to scream one after another, followed by a sharp military whistle, Company Commander Li jumped out of the trench violently, waved his pistol vigorously, and led the soldiers of the Bailai Company, shouting to kill the earth and rushing down the hillside, mixing with the enemy soldiers like crazy.

The shouts of killing sounded in the sky, and once the two sides fought hand-to-hand combat, relying on martial bravery, the enemy's artillery bombardment could only stop.

Li Xiaodong saw through the binoculars that the four enemy artillerymen in the distance found that something was wrong, two by two, one carrying a mortar, one carrying a shell box, and running towards the direction of the market town with difficulty, Li Xiaodong couldn't help but put down the binoculars and scolded hatefully: "If you don't destroy you, Lao Tzu was raised by you!"

He looked at the hill to the left, took out his pistol and loaded it, and then ran quickly to the top of the hill, and from the other side of the hill, he copied the path of the four enemy soldiers......
