Chapter 238: Smooth landing and moving forward
"Tell me quickly, how many people are there on the shore? Which unit are you from?"
The young man was holding a gun, with the black muzzle pressed tightly against the company commander's forehead. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings like an eagle, and he shouted in a stern voice.
Since the bridge ahead had been blown beyond recognition, they had no choice but to resort to this unexpected sneak attack tactic to have a chance to win a quick victory and buy time for the large force behind them if they wanted to successfully capture this crucial position!
"Sir... Sir, I am the commander of the 3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 33rd Regiment, 12th Brigade of the Nationalist Army. There are only two battalions of troops stationed on shore. Our main mission is to closely monitor this area of water to prevent anyone from sneaking across."
The company commander answered tremblingly, beads of sweat the size of beans mixed with the continuously dripping water droplets, flowing down his forehead continuously.
At this time, he was already scared out of his wits, his speech became stammering and incoherent, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
"Sir, I'm just a poor kid from a poor family. I joined the army just to have enough food to eat and support my family! Please be kind and spare me this time!"
As he spoke, the company commander couldn't help crying quietly. His face, which had been relatively resolute, was now covered with tears and he looked extremely miserable.
"Stop talking nonsense to me! Is there any way to avoid the sentries up there and get closer to the position?"
The young man interrupted the other person impatiently, not wanting to waste any more words with him or get entangled in those useless things.
At this moment, his mind was filled with only one thought, which was to move forward as quickly as possible and not let the sentries on the shore notice their whereabouts, otherwise their operation would fail.
“There…there is a way!”
The company commander, who had already been frightened out of his wits and had an extremely strong desire to survive, nodded hurriedly after hearing this, as if he had grabbed the last straw. He pointed to the ditch on the right used to drain the river water and reminded in a low voice.
"That's the ditch! It's lunchtime right now, so there won't be any sentries patrolling here. We just have to keep going along this ditch, and we can get to the front line without anyone noticing!"
"Hmph! You'd better make the situation clear to me. If you dare to deceive me, don't blame me for being ruthless and taking your life!"
The young man's eyes flashed with ferocity as he glared at the company commander in front of him, his tone filled with undisguised threats.
After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot tolerate any carelessness or mistakes.
"I know, I know. My heart is as clear as a mirror. I absolutely dare not tell a lie!"
The company commander nodded tremblingly to show his obedience, while thinking to himself, at this critical moment of life and death, who would care whether the so-called position would be lost?
The most important thing is whether you can save your own life!
As for the rest, let’s talk about it after we escape this disaster!
"Hurry up! Stop dawdling and put on your clothes and lead the way!"
The young man pushed the trembling guy anxiously, his eyes fixed on him, afraid that he would suddenly shout and expose his whereabouts.
At the same time, in the river not far away, a group of soldiers who had been lurking for a long time were moving cautiously and tiptoeing towards the river bank.
Due to being soaked in water for a long time, their bodies have become somewhat numb, but everyone's eyes are still firm and sharp.
In this short moment, a group of naked men suddenly appeared in the grass on the river bank, which was originally quiet and deserted.
Fortunately, it was the hottest summer day, and the scorching heat did not make the men feel too uncomfortable because of being naked.
If it were the coldest time of winter, just soaking in this freezing river water would probably freeze people to death in no time.
"Hurry up and change your clothes!"
The young man on guard watched the movements around him vigilantly while constantly urging everyone to speed up.
The soldiers bent down one after another and quickly untied the backpacks wrapped tightly with brown paper around their waists.
When they opened it, in addition to the neatly stacked National Army uniforms, there were also various weapons and equipment, powerful explosives and other important items.
Obviously, they came here to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and give an unexpected "gift" to the defenseless guys on the other side.
Five minutes later, everyone present successfully completed the task of changing clothes.
At this moment, the company commander's wet clothes clung to his body, outlining his slightly thin but still upright figure. He walked towards the shore with heavy and slow steps.
However, after he had walked only a few steps, he saw two soldiers in front of him struggling to carry a huge stone. They went to the drowned dog's body and skillfully tied the stone firmly to the dog's body with a rope.
Judging from the situation, it was obvious that they were planning to sink the dog's body to the bottom of the river to prevent it from being discovered.
Watching his good brother from the same village die tragically and silently before his eyes, an indescribable sadness involuntarily appeared on the company commander's pale and weak face.
However, when he thought about the difficult situation he was facing at that moment, even though he was extremely sad, he still didn't dare to make a sound.
So, he could only quickly suppress the sadness in his eyes, take a deep breath, then force himself to be strong, and walk quickly forward to act as a guide.
He knew very well that in such a dangerous situation, the only way to survive was to move towards the position as quickly as possible.
Only when the enemy and our side officially engage in fierce fighting can he find a glimmer of hope and take advantage of the chaos to escape.
