The sun slowly moved towards the west. When it passed a white cloud, it shyly covered its face. The black smoke spread up into the sky, entangled with the white cloud, and together blocked the sun.
The fighting started in the morning and ended at noon, with both Shi Dazhu and Xu Tianxiong suffering casualties. While Han Baihang was sitting comfortably behind Shi Dazhu, Shi Dazhu was walking through the mountainous area in an unusually embarrassed manner.
Although this mountain is not big, the road is rugged, and the bandits have been here for many years and are very familiar with every stone.
As a result, Shi Dazhu's losses were naturally very heavy. This also made Shi Dazhu hold his breath and wanted to crush Xu Tianxiong to ashes.
But when those bandits entered the mountain, they were like fish entering the sea. They couldn't even touch their tails. This made Shi Dazhu very uncomfortable, as if he had hit the air with all his strength.
Slowly, Shi Dazhu felt that the enemy's counterattack was getting stronger and stronger, which convinced him that his judgment was correct. The enemy was at the end of his rope. As long as he worked harder, he could defeat the enemy.
"Company Commander, there is a forest ahead, and there are a large number of enemies in it!"
Shi Dazhu was in a state of embarrassment. He glanced ahead and punched his fist vigorously, "Okay! Pass my order and surround the woods! No bandit is allowed to escape!"
The communications soldier ran away in a hurry. Shi Dazhu looked at the falling trees and the deafening gunshots. He couldn't help laughing and said proudly: "Xu Tianxiong, I want to see where you run this time!"
The bandits retreated as soon as they fought, and the terrain began to become flat. The most important thing was that the surrounding trees began to decrease. There were no bunkers, which was suitable for Shi Dazhu to expand his troops and take advantage of his numbers. This could not help but make Shi Dazhu happy.
"I finally caught the fox by the tail, beat me, beat me hard!" Shi Dazhu shouted excitedly.
The team advanced steadily and slowly formed an encirclement, surrounding a large group of enemies. Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Shi Dazhu ordered his soldiers to cease fire, stood at the back of the team, and took a copper trumpet.
.
"Xu Tianxiong, you bastard, come out and surrender quickly, or I will beat you into a sieve right now!"
Now that the situation has become clear, Shi Dazhu is very proud. After all, being able to catch someone alive is definitely more credit than bringing back a corpse.
But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded behind Shi Dazhu. Shi Dazhu was stunned for a moment, and shouted to the people around him: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to shoot? What kind of bastard just fired casually?"
At this time, gunshots rang out one after another behind him, and Shi Dazhu realized that things were not as simple as he thought. A soldier stumbled out and panted and said to Shi Dazhu: "Company Commander, no... it's not good, we
Surrounded!"
Shi Dazhu threw the trumpet on the man's head and cursed: "Fuck you, they are all surrounded by us, can they grow wings and fly out?"
What responded to Shi Dazhu was a series of rapid gunshots and the screams of soldiers falling to the ground. Shi Dazhu finally accepted this devastating fact. It was not the bandits who were surrounded, but him.
Shi Dazhu hurriedly directed the soldiers to counterattack, but Xu Tianxiong led his men to block the entrance to the valley. There were not many bunkers in the valley, and Xu Tianxiong was caught off guard. His men suffered heavy losses.
Not only that, the bandits who were originally surrounded by Shi Dazhu also began to fight back. This time, Shi Dazhu was attacked from both sides and was beaten to the point where he could not fight for a while.
"Shi Dazhu! Aren't you capable? Call me again! I'm going to beat you so hard today that your own mother won't even recognize you!"
Xu Tianxiong suppressed Shi Dazhu and mocked him at the same time. Shi Dazhu's face was red with anger, but Xu Tianxiong's firepower was so fierce that he couldn't raise his head, so he could only lower his head and act like a cowering turtle.
Seeing the people in front of him fall down one by one, Xu Tianxiong's sarcastic voice sounded again, "Shi Dazhu, don't you want to capture me alive? I'm here now. Come out to capture me. What a coward!"
Xu Tianxiong's voice was intertwined with the sounds of gunfire and explosions, echoing in the valley, but clearly reaching Shi Dazhu's ears.
Shi Dazhu suppressed his blush and clenched his fists, but he did not dare to raise his head in the face of the enemy's firepower, so he could only fight back reluctantly.
The two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour, and Shi Dazhu's men were quickly exhausted by one-third. The only good news was that Xu Tianxiong's ammunition did not seem to be particularly sufficient, and the firepower network slowly weakened.
Although Shi Dazhu was not very proficient in leading troops in battle, he was still able to seize such an obvious opportunity and immediately organized his men to start charging towards the valley.
Seeing Shi Dazhu's men rushing toward the entrance of the valley like crazy, Xu Tianxiong began to command his men to retreat slowly.
Xu Tianxiong originally planned to swallow up all of Shi Dazhu, but he underestimated Shi Dazhu and overestimated his own strength.
As soon as the firepower here weakened, Shi Dazhu's men quickly tore a hole in the encirclement net at the entrance of the valley. Xu Tianxiong did not expect that Shi Dazhu's counterattack was so fierce, which caused him considerable losses.
This time was the heaviest loss for Xu Tianxiong in the entire battle. Soon Shi Dazhu led his men out of the valley, but during the retreat, dozens more lives were lost, and the morale of the team was unprecedentedly low.
"Old Shi! Let's go slowly without seeing him off!"
"Go slowly, I won't send you off!"
…
The ridicule of the bandits came from behind and echoed across Taihu Lake. Shi Dazhu blushed with embarrassment, and the soldiers were also dejected, which was in sharp contrast to the joy of the bandits.
After Xu Tianxiong saw Shi Dazhu retreating to the foot of the mountain, he organized his men to clean up the battlefield. This battle could be said to be a great victory. The guns and ammunition captured were enough for him to arm two more squads.
"Go home and drink!"
Xu Tianxiong shouted loudly, and the bandits responded and followed Xu Tianxiong towards the water village. On this side, Shi Dazhu, with his remaining defeated soldiers, finally retreated to the camp on the shore of the lake.
Shi Dazhu was sitting in his tent, looking at the post-war report that was sent to him. His veins popped out with anger, and he overturned the table in anger.
"Trash! They're all trash!"
The people under his command stood aside and were trembling and did not dare to answer. No one was a fool and dared to touch this brow at this time.
At this moment, a man walked in, took a look at the inside of the tent, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Shi Dazhu was furious. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he became even more angry and shouted: "If you fart, just let it go. Just give me a charade here!"
"Yes...yes." The man said tremblingly: "Report to the company commander that a small team has captured the third leader of the bandits alive this afternoon."
