Chapter 59: The Showdown on the Bank of the Huaihe River
On the bank of the Huaihe River in Xixian County, Henan Province, Li Tieshu was lying in a patch of grass by the river, staring closely ahead at a path leading to the river in the middle of the crop field. Behind a few trees beside the path, three
The people discovered by Li Tieshu and the others were also watching Li Tieshu and the others closely.
At this moment, Li Tieshu was waiting for Guo Shi and the others to get behind these three people in time and block their escape path.
In the past two quarters of an hour or so, Li Tieshu finally saw several figures appearing in the direction behind the three people on the opposite side. It was dark and Li Tieshu couldn't see clearly whether the person who appeared behind the three people was Guo Shi, but judging from the time
, it shouldn’t be anyone else.
Although Li Tieshu was not yet sure whether Guo Shi and the others had already detoured, he still decided to capture the three people on the opposite side. Li Tieshu sent a concealed advance signal to the soldiers hiding around.
Immediately, under the leadership of Li Tieshu, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad quietly approached the people in front along the crop fields on the roadside.
Li Tieshu walked forward cautiously, and every time he took a step, he dropped his steps gently, for fear of making a sound that would alert the people on the opposite side. Since the distance between them was not very far, Li Tieshu and the others quickly and gradually
He got very close to these three people, about ten meters away.
The people on the opposite side seemed to have discovered that Li Tieshu and the others were taking action. Therefore, they each had a shell gun or a gun in hand, and were ready to fight Li Tieshu and the others.
When Li Tieshu advanced another two meters, the person on the opposite side suddenly spoke first and asked: "On the other side! Stop! If we go further, we will shoot!"
Li Tieshu did not expect that the people on the opposite side had actually discovered them. He immediately raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stop advancing. He squatted down and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side. The three people on the opposite side were hidden behind a tree, and it was impossible to see from him.
I don’t know what these three people look like.
Li Tieshu also asked: "Who are you?"
The person opposite did not answer Li Tieshu immediately, but was silent for a while and said: "Brothers opposite, we are from Zhou Zhong, where are you from? Judging from the accent, you should not be from us!"
The man opposite said this, and Li Tieshu also felt that this man's voice was speaking the same local dialect as the old man who sent them across the river. However, even if the locals came out with guns in the middle of the night, Li Tieshu still ordered
Tieshu was suspicious.
Li Tieshu said to them: "Who are you? Even if you are locals, you shouldn't be wandering around the river with a gun in the middle of the night, right?"
The person opposite said: "Never mind why we came out with guns in the middle of the night, you haven't said yet, who are you?"
When this person was talking to Li Tieshu, Li Tieshu found that behind the three people, a patch of grass not far away seemed to be shaking. Li Tieshu understood that this should be Guo Shi and the others who had detoured behind the three people.
.
Therefore, he no longer worried that the three people would escape, and said loudly to them: "We are the national army, who are you? If you don't tell us, we will shoot!"
When the person on the other side heard that it was the National Army, he fell silent again. After a while, Li Tieshu saw that the person on the other side had not answered yet, and he even more suspected that the person on the other side was really a spy of the Japanese.
Li Tieshu waved his hand to the soldiers behind him to signal them to prepare for an attack. He raised his rifle in his hand, pointed at the tree where a person was hiding on the opposite side, and said loudly to them: "I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell me, I will
Just attack!"
After the person on the other side heard Li Tieshu's words, the person who had been talking to Peng Dezhu hurriedly replied: "Don't shoot, we are all our own people, we are members of the Xixian Anti-Japanese Advance Team!"
Li Tieshu repeated to himself: "Xixian Anti-Japanese Advance Team?" Although the person opposite said this, Li Tieshu still had doubts about their identity.
Li Tieshu said to them again: "I haven't heard of it. Throw your guns out and wait for us to confirm!"
The person opposite, after hearing what Li Tieshu said, did not hesitate at all and refused directly: "Impossible! Who knows whether you are the national army? Can you say that you can prove that what you said is true?
?”
When Li Tieshu was talking to the people opposite him again, Guo Shi had already approached the three people with his men. Li Tieshu could already see Guo Shi and the others clearly, but the three people opposite didn't seem to notice.
The soldiers on Li Tieshu's side signaled that they were ready to rush over. At the same time, he continued to fight with the people on the opposite side in order to attract them.
Just when the person opposite refused Li Tieshu's request, Guo Shi and others not far away from him suddenly attacked. Guo Shi suddenly rushed out from the grass not far from a person. At the same time,
Three soldiers rushed out beside him. The four men, holding rifles, rushed to the three men hiding behind the tree. Li Tieshu here also rushed over with the soldiers in time.
The person who was talking to Li Tieshu suddenly felt someone rushing toward him. Without enough time to turn around, he faced Li Tieshu's direction and raised his foot to kick where he felt someone was.
The person who pounced on this person was Guo Shi. He was about to pounce on him, but suddenly the man raised his foot and kicked him back. With the impact, Guo Shi had to tighten the impact of the impact on his body.
He twisted his body and jumped to the other side of this person.
Guo Shi's pounce failed to achieve his goal, but instead gave the opponent time to react. When Guo Shi's feet had just landed, the man had already turned around, raised the shell gun in his hand, and hit Guo Shi on the head.
Guo Shi didn't wait for his body to stand still, and made a series of movements to fall backwards to avoid the shell gun coming at him. While falling backwards, Guo Shi made another movement in succession, flying up with his right foot and kicking him.
, the hand holding the shell gun.
The person who hit him didn't expect Guo Shi to make three movements in succession, and the force on his hand could not be recovered. Guo Shi kicked him hard on the wrist. His right hand, which was hit by the outside world, could not withstand the impact.
With such force, the shell gun in his hand immediately flew out.
The person who was kicked by Guo Shi did not bother to look at the wrist that had been kicked. He raised his foot towards Guo Shi, who was already lying on the ground, and kicked him hard. After Guo Shi saw this person's actions, he immediately
He rolled to the side, but was still kicked in the calf.
Guo Shi endured the severe pain, rolled to the side, turned over and stood up. Seeing the opponent kicking him again, Guo Shi dodged and at the same time made a fist with his right hand and hit the opponent's chest.
Guo Shi punched the opponent in the chest, and the man grunted, took a few steps back, hunched over and covered his chest with his hands, glaring at Guo Shi. Guo Shi didn't give him time to breathe, and jumped up.
He jumped up and kicked the opponent. The man hurriedly covered his chest with his hands, and Guo Shi kicked him on both arms.
The huge impact knocked the man to the ground. After falling to the ground, the man was about to stand up and confront Guo Shi again. Suddenly, a gun muzzle came out from behind him and was pressed against his head.
