Rebirth in 1972: Redemption in Changbai Mountain

"I don't know, could it be that the police have caught up with us?"

"Damn it, it's all those two spies' fault. They made the police and militia search everywhere, and now we can't even stay in the city. Damn it!" The man was extremely agitated and was actually on the verge of a breakdown.

"Shut up, find someone now."

Just as a man was about to peek out, two shots rang out in front of him, forcing him back. Enraged, the burly man stood up and, brandishing his double-barreled shotgun, taunted the man ahead.

Bang! A bullet pierced through his left arm and struck the hunting rifle, killing both him and the gun.

"Ah... Brother, it's on the left. Help me, help me, my hand is broken!" the man kept wailing.

Unexpectedly, his older brother ignored him completely, turned around, and kept staring at the mountain in front of him.

bang... bang...

"There." The older brother pointed diagonally upwards, finally seeing the bullet's trajectory through the flash of the gun barrel.

Suddenly, several rifles, both long and short, changed direction. Bang! Bang! Bang!... Ice chips and stones flew everywhere from the mountainside.

Liu Qingguo and Gu Jiacheng kept their heads pressed tightly against the ground on the stone platform, not daring to lift them even slightly.

Zhou Rui seized the opportunity to fire another shot, and a burly man clutched his chest and collapsed.

"Zhao Xiaogang, stay put. Zhou Kaizhi and I will flank from both sides."

When Gu Dayong saw the enemy turn their guns around and fire at a cliff four or five meters high, sparks flew everywhere, he immediately knew Zhou Rui and his group's location.

They also knew their chance had come, so they quickly issued combat orders and rushed out.

The enemy didn't know how to control the pace; they just kept firing all the bullets in their magazines until the gunfire stopped.

Zhou Rui immediately poked his gun out and fired two shots, emptying the last two bullets in the gun. Two screams coming from afar told him that two more enemies were gone.

"Damn it, He Mazi, you dare betray me and run away on your own?"

Bang bang bang... The enemy started fighting amongst themselves. It turned out that Zhou Rui and his two companions had wounded or killed five or six enemy soldiers, and the enemy couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed in fear.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Rui quickly loaded a bullet. This was the one; he was the leader.

Zhou Rui instantly locked his gun on the head of the standing figure, but hesitated for a moment before switching to the right shoulder.

Bang... "Ah!"

The leader fell, and the man called Pockmarked disappeared into the darkness. The gunfire ceased. Zhou Rui loaded another bullet.

"Load up your bullets, go down and clean up the battlefield, but do not turn on your flashlights."

After saying that, Zhou Rui jumped down. The four or five-meter height posed no difficulty for him. He simply rolled forward to dissipate the force.

"Who's there?" a loud shout rang out. At the same time, a gun barrel moved towards them as the body turned.

"It's me, Zhou Rui." Zhou Rui rolled on the ground, dodging the gun barrel.

It turned out that Zhou Kaizhi had turned his gun around after hearing the commotion of people running on the plain.

"Ruiwa, you got here pretty fast."

Zhou Kaizhi and Gu Dayong came out together, but Gu Dayong had disappeared and no one knew where he went.

"Stop talking, get up there. Those with guns, open fire. Those without guns, take prisoners." Zhou Rui didn't waste any words and ran past Zhou Kaizhi in an instant.

Zhou Rui ran to the edge of the pit. Hearing the noise, the leader quickly grabbed the pistol on the ground with his left hand.

Bang... The hand was pierced by a bullet before it even touched the pistol.

"Ah, I'll fuck you..."

Bang! A rifle butt silenced the leader's next words.

"Everyone, surrender your weapons or you will be spared. Put your hands behind your heads and squat on the ground." Zhou Rui didn't have time to reload; he simply pointed his unloaded gun at the group of people on the ground.

However, it doesn't matter to Zhou Rui now. Within such a short range, with his reaction speed, he can't cause any big trouble.

"Ruiwa, why did you shoot? Are you alright?" Zhou Kaizhi arrived a few seconds later than Zhou Rui.

"There was some bastard who was about to grab a gun, but I shot him in the hand, that one." Zhou Rui pointed with his chin at the leader who was rolling on the ground.

"Hurry up, put your hands behind your head!" Zhou Rui shouted as he kicked away the guns on the ground.

"I told you to cover your head, not anywhere else."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Kaizhi was even more irritable than Zhou Rui after arriving, kicking him at the slightest provocation. He had been suppressed and unable to lift his head, and his teammate had even been injured, so he was already furious.

"Ruiwa, Ruiwa." Liu Qingguo's voice came before he even arrived.

"Here it is," Zhou Rui replied.

Two figures rushed over.

"Huff... Uncle Kaizhi, where's my dad?" Gu Jiacheng asked breathlessly, his voice urgent.

"Your father chased after him but couldn't find him. I don't know where he went either."

"Don't worry, two people escaped. Your father went after the enemy." Zhou Rui had already discovered Gu Dayong's whereabouts through his senses.

"With your father's battlefield experience, these petty thieves won't be able to turn the tables."

Hearing Zhou Rui's deep voice and relaxed tone, Gu Jiacheng quickly relaxed.

"Qingguo, Jiacheng, take off their belts and tie them up," Zhou Rui ordered the two men, kicking aside all the weapons in his sight.

Bang... A gunshot rang out in the distance. Bang, another shot a second later.

Gu Jiacheng stopped what he was doing immediately, while Zhou Rui simply looked up and glanced ahead.

"It's alright, that's the sound of your dad's gun. He should be back soon."

Gu Jiacheng was irritable, and his movements became much rougher. One person's wound was touched, and he groaned.

Gu Jiacheng slapped the man across the face: "What are you humming about? Shut up."

Just then, a fiery dragon appeared from the direction of Jiaolongxia Village; the villagers were coming to provide support with torches. The gunfire had been going on for over ten minutes before the villagers finally arrived, which was already quite slow.

"Qingguo, turn on the flashlight and give the villagers a signal."

"What signal?"

"Just turn the flashlight around a few times." Zhou Rui didn't care. There was no agreement anyway. As long as he wasn't treated as an enemy and beaten by the villagers, it was fine.

A short while later, Zhao Xiaogang arrived first, carrying a gun in one hand, but the wound on his hand had frozen and stopped bleeding.

"Uncle Kai-Chi".

"Xiaogang, how are you?" Zhou Kaizhi asked with concern.

Zhao Xiaogang shook his left hand: "It's alright, it was numb from the cold, but it doesn't hurt now."

The fire dragon arrived quickly; the villagers had already run over after spotting the flashlight beams.

"Dayong, Dayong!" Village Chief Zhao called out as he ran. He was almost sixty years old, yet he wasn't afraid of getting a sore throat from the cold wind.

"Village chief, this way. My dad went to chase the bad guys, he's not here."

"Huff, huff... Why didn't you go after them...?" Zhao Youzhi held up a torch, hands on his hips, his legs trembling slightly.

"Grandpa Zhao, look at this! We need to keep an eye on these people!"

At this moment, the village patrol team arrived.

"Good heavens, so many bad guys? Did you catch them all?" The members of the other two groups exclaimed in surprise.

"How many people are there? Are they spies?"

"They're definitely not spies; I'd guess they're just petty thieves. I could catch them too."

Zhou Rui knew it was Chen Xueqin as soon as he heard the yin-yang voice.

Zhou Rui looked down on this scoundrel. They were both named Xueqin, but Zhao Xueqin from Uncle Changhai's family was honest and upright, while Chen Xueqin was cunning and deceitful, only good at talking big. He was truly an insult to the name.

"Go, go find a few people to look for Gu Dayong." Zhao Youzhi was old and had run so fast that he hadn't caught his breath yet.

"No need, I'm back."

Everyone turned around at the sound and saw Gu Dayong's tall figure appear in the firelight. He was holding a gun in one hand, pointing it at a limping man in front of him, while dragging something with his other hand.
