Before Han Baihang ran far, Zhao San suddenly grabbed Han Baihang and whispered: "Something seems to be wrong, listen!"
Han Baihang was startled for a moment, then he steadied himself and listened, when a shout came from outside the woods.
"It seems that we are not the only ones who want Xu Tianxiong's life." Zhao San adjusted his glasses and looked out of the woods.
Han Baihang took two steps forward, leaned against a tree, and looked at the lake through the gaps in the forest. Suddenly, there were several military ships on the calm lake.
"It looks like he's from the Sixth Division." Han Baihang looked around and finally recognized who he was from the markings on the ship.
Zhao San frowned and said thoughtfully: "The leader of the 23rd Regiment was just killed by us, how come he still has the energy to suppress the bandits?"
Han Baihang didn't think as much as Zhao San thought. He waved his hand and said: "Why don't they do so much, as long as they don't come to trouble us. What's more, with them attacking us head-on, we can just go and take out Xu Tianxiong's lair."
Zhao San didn't say anything more, nodded and walked towards the depths of the woods. As soon as they walked out of the woods, a large open area appeared in front of everyone, with a hill in front of them and a small river flowing by their feet.
The reclaimed yellow mud road is hidden under the shade of grass and winding on it. On both sides of the road, you can vaguely see the corners of the houses. Further up, there is the curl of smoke, making it difficult to see what is going on above.
Hidden something.
A few people stood at the edge of the woods. Before they could go out, a large group of people suddenly appeared from the path, each holding a gun in their hands. They ran down the path to the lake.
Han Baihang huddled behind a big tree, looked at the figure running past, turned to Zhao San and said, "Let's go around to the back mountain and see if there is any other way up the mountain."
The group was about to set off when Li Si, who had been unconscious all this time, suddenly started to move and slowly opened his eyes. Just as Li Si was about to speak, Han Baihang quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't ask anything, don't say anything."
Don’t tell me, you’ll find out later.”
Li Si glanced around blankly, listening to the sound of gunfire ringing in his ears, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything.
Although Li Si didn't know much about the situation, his waking up has undoubtedly lightened our burden and also added some combat power to us. This is also gratifying news.
Taking Li Si with us again, we went around from the foot of the mountain towards the back mountain. Although we met a few bandits along the way, we quickly dealt with them. The little incident did not affect the speed of our march.
Li Si's awakening greatly increased the speed of the journey, but within half a quarter of an hour, several people had arrived at the back mountain. They had just climbed out of the water, and their bodies were covered with water drops.
Looking up, a cliff stood in front of everyone like a knife. On the top of the mountain, several houses could be seen making mocking sounds to everyone.
"It seems that we can only go up from the front." Han Baihang said with a somewhat depressed expression. He thought that even if he couldn't go up directly at the back mountain, he would still be able to find a way.
I just didn't expect Xu Tianxiong to find such a perfect place without giving anyone any chance.
At this time, the sound of gunfire rang out at the right time. Han Baihang turned around and saw that on the lake beside them, countless water splashes rose into the sky, and the sound of gunfire continued.
It seems that the 23rd Regiment has not yet completely landed and has encountered a strong resistance. The two sides should now be at the most critical moment.
Zhao San adjusted his glasses and said, "Let's go, there is no point in staying here anymore."
Reluctantly, everyone had to go back the same way. When they arrived in front of the mountain gate again, Han Baihang saw the bandits in the water village coming and going in a hurry.
The target of Han Baihang and others was relatively small, and no one noticed them for a while so they hid aside. At this time, Han Baihang looked towards the lake shore. Although the 23rd Regiment encountered a strong resistance, with the advantages of numbers and equipment, they had already arrived.
A few dozen meters away from the lake shore, it looked like he would land at any time.
"It seems that Xu Tianxiong is just a reckless man." Han Baihang couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
The location chosen by the 23rd Regiment to land was not particularly good. There were many reefs in front of the lake, it was close to the woods, and there were many bunkers. It was not suitable for landing operations at all.
If it hadn't been for the superiority of weapons and equipment, they would have been repulsed by now. How could they be still stagnant in place and even look like they were about to successfully land?
On the other hand, Xu Tianxiong's side was originally at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, and could only rely on the terrain to deal with the enemy. It was better for the 23rd Regiment to be far away, but now that it was close, even the final advantage was gone.
Under the current situation, Xu Tianxiong should withdraw his people, rely on the familiar terrain of the island, engage in contact combat with the 23rd Regiment, and try to separate the enemy. This way, layer by layer, the enemy's effective strength will be weakened, and he will be able to fight again.
If you occupy a favorable location, even if you cannot win completely, you can still protect yourself.
Seeing the mistakes in command and battle between the two parties, Han Baihang and Zhao San couldn't help but sigh at the same time, "If I were to command this battle..."
Just in the middle of speaking, the two of them were stunned at the same time, looking at each other and smiling. All the words were already contained in that smile.
But now was not the time to lament. Xu Tianxiong's side had already shown signs of defeat and began to retreat steadily. Once the retreat began, it was like a river pouring down, and the 23rd Regiment instantly occupied the beachhead.
Han Baihang and others quickly took advantage of this opportunity, ran onto the path, got into the woods, and secretly climbed towards the top of the mountain.
Han Baihang took the time to look back and saw that the 23rd Regiment had spent a lot of money this time. At least two companies of troops came, and they also brought two howitzers.
It looks like the posture is not only to suppress bandits, but also to level the entire island! But these are not what Han Baihang cares about. The harder they fight, the better, so that he can take advantage of the troubled waters.
However, after the battle for the beach just now, the 23rd Regiment suffered a huge loss, and the battle loss ratio reached at least five to one.
Such a result was hard for Shi Dazhu to accept. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. After Tian Zuyin died suddenly and suddenly, the position of regiment leader became vacant.
Shi Dazhu naturally coveted this position, but at this time, the division commander gave an order to suppress bandits, which made him extremely excited. It was obvious that he would be put in the position.
Shi Dazhu came excitedly commanding the team. He thought it was just a few soldiers and generals who could be solved with a wave of his hand, but now it seems that he thought everything was too simple.
