Lei Dahai knew that firing a response flare at this time was not only to tell the mercenary group their location, but also to summon the main force to come over and fight the Japanese together.
Not only Lei Dahai reacted, but Xiao Qi, Xiao Shui and Huang Dayou also guessed part of the meaning, and there was excitement in their eyes.
If this is the case, this is their first time fighting with the main force. Think about the combat effectiveness of the soldiers led by Zhou Wen, think about the countless machine guns, those gleaming artillery, and the scene of killing the Japanese.
It's simply not too beautiful.
As a result, everyone suddenly felt that their legs were no longer sore and their waists were no longer painful, and their whole bodies were full of strength.
Just when Gao Xiaoshan was about to kill the Japanese, Zhou Wenzheng led a detachment of more than forty brothers to take the lead, running at full speed along the way.
The straight-line distance between them and Shiziling is only a dozen kilometers, but walking on mountain roads is a lot of trouble. When encountering steep cliffs and deep ravines and mountain streams, you have to take a lot of detours, and it takes more than an hour.
Only walked half the distance.
But he was extremely anxious now. Just because there was no response after firing two flares, it meant that Gao Xiaoshan and the others might have encountered a situation.
After walking for an hour, he felt that everyone's speed was not fast enough, so he immediately ordered six people including him, Miaohua, Tijing, Xu Dacheng, Zuo Mingqing and Zhou Mingyuan to go first, while the others were no longer seriously injured.
Under the leadership of Zhao Xiaojin, they followed closely.
You know, after Gao Xiaoshan was seriously injured last time, Zhou Wen deeply blamed himself. It was because he rushed too hard that Brother Shan Zi fell into a tight siege by the Japanese army.
During the last Songhu Battle, Miaohua, Zhang Xiaoping and Xu Dacheng were almost killed by heavy artillery from the Japanese Izumo. This time Gao Xiaoshan and Zhang Xiaoping were seriously injured one after another.
Calculating this, in almost every battle, the core members of the mercenary group almost died, which also made Zhou Wen start to reflect on his risky tactics and anxious mentality of eagerness for success.
Therefore, now he really doesn't want any more accidents to happen to Gao Xiaoshan. He can't bear such a price, and neither can the mercenary group.
Looking at the people Zhou Wen took away, one can tell that these people are already all the masters that the mercenary group can currently gather.
Needless to say, Zhou Wen and Miaohua, the others are all masters of Qi Sheng Jin or the late stage of Qi Sheng Jin, and they are also among the most outstanding military skills.
With this division of troops, Zhou Wen and the others immediately speeded up a lot.
Of course, although Xu Dacheng is known as the third mule of the mercenary group, his mortars are still carried on Miaohua's shoulders.
Before setting off, several people threw their backpacks to the troops behind them. They only carried weapons and ammunition, and the load was less than ten kilograms. Miaohua, a great expert, could carry a twenty kilogram gun barrel.
A matter.
Zhou Wen only has one thought now, which is to find Brother Shan Zi first.
Just when the six of them let go of their speed and crossed the mountains at lightning speed, Zhou Wen suddenly saw the white flare rising into the sky in the distance.
At this moment, his tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but it was not the time to relax completely, because this delayed response signal meant that they must have encountered a situation.
But fortunately, it was basically confirmed that their marching direction had not deviated, so it was only a matter of time before they found Gao Xiaoshan.
As time went by, when the sky was already covered with a hint of fish belly white, Zhou Wen heard the faint sound of gunfire.
His expression changed and he immediately said: "Hurry, they are at war with the Japanese."
At this time, even Miaohua, who had been in the Qi Jin Mirror for many years, did not hear any movement, but he knew that Zhou Wen's hearing was much sharper than his, and of course he would not think that Zhou Wen was telling lies.
So Miaohua immediately said: "How about the two of us rush over first."
Zhou Wen shook his head and said: "With Brother Shanzi's steady temperament, since he can send out flares, it means that the situation is not too bad. Let's find out the situation first. I'd better go first, and you and Dacheng will come after them."
When Zhou Wen saw Miaohua's expression changing, he was about to refuse, and immediately explained: "The two of us are leaving first. What if Ah Jing and Dacheng can't keep up?"
Miaohua was now afraid of Zhou Wen's habit of often taking personal risks, so when she heard that Zhou Wen wanted to go first, she reflexively refused.
But Zhou Wen's explanation is also very reasonable. It is still dawn, and the mountain forest is still dark. With the abilities of the three of them, they may not be able to follow the traces. They must be led by a master like Miaohua.
This is also the reason why he kept Zhao Xiaojin in the back team before.
Some walking traces that ordinary people cannot detect are like bright mirrors in the eyes of Qi Jinjing experts.
Moreover, as a tactical team, they can only exert their greatest combat effectiveness when the team members are fully integrated.
With three precision marksmen with superb marksmanship, two of the fastest assaulters in the world, and Xu Dacheng, a master of artillery, it would be difficult to find a second such tactical team even if you looked at the entire world.
While Zhou Wen was talking, his hands were like magic, stuffing the mortar shells he took out from nowhere into Xu Dacheng's half-empty backpack.
As before, in order to maintain Xu Dacheng's best physical strength when performing team tasks, the most he could do was to let him, a self-proclaimed human mule, carry a mortar barrel, each of which weighed 6.9 kilograms.
It was Zhou Wen who placed it in the Buddhist bead space.
One cubic meter of space can hold six 81mm heavy bullets, and 10 3.2kg light bullets, and you don’t have to worry about bumps and detonations when marching.
Otherwise, with Xu Dacheng's physical strength, even without the mortar base and gun mount, the gun barrel and 6 shells alone weigh more than 60 kilograms. Even if you tire him to death, he will not be able to keep up with the marching speed of the tactical team.
.
Some people may ask, since it is a small team operation, the main function of mortars is to eliminate the enemy's heavy firepower and suppress the enemy's artillery. As long as the artillery fire is accurate, it can eliminate an enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point or artillery artillery position. A 3.2 kg light bullet
The explosive power of the bullet is more than enough. Wouldn't it be more convenient to march? Moreover, the shelling distance of the light projectile is farther, and the gunner is safer, isn't it?
Xu Dacheng, a tough guy, insisted on using heavy bombs.
He also shouted plausibly: "A man should use heavy bullets. Not only is it powerful and powerful, it is also very refreshing. The more explosive it is, the more accurate it is. The light bullets are like something used by girls. Look at it.
It’s not enough.”
This guy's fallacy really worked for their artillery team, and Cui Dayong foolishly followed suit. Every time he marched, he was weighed down by heavy loads until his lips were crooked, but he never regretted it.
