After thinking for a moment, Tang Shengkai continued, "Battalion Commander, you guys pick out all the bullets later, and I'll get you a few guns and throw them over. Once you're in the woods, even if the Japanese chase after us again, we won't be afraid."

"That's just your ideal scenario; what if..."

"There's no 'what if,' Battalion Commander. You have to believe me, I can definitely do it."

The group looked conflicted. They knew that what Old Tang said was the best solution, and rationally they should follow it. But in their hearts, they didn't want Tang Shengkai to take the risk.

Tang Shengkai stared intently at Xu Hongchang. "Battalion Commander, the honor of the motherland is above all else."

Something flashed across Xu Hongchang's cold face, but it was quickly missed by everyone in the darkness. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Tang, take care!"

Tang Shengkai nodded solemnly. The beef was all cooked through, and everyone had filled their stomachs. Wang Junhui extinguished the fire, plunging their area into darkness.

The situation was different on the other side. They knew Tang Shengkai was out of bullets, so they openly built several bonfires. They also had wild game, and they even brought seasonings. The roasted pheasants and rabbits tasted incredibly tempting.

Xu Hongchang and the others were smashing wood with stones. Tang Shengkai thought it was too slow, so in the pitch-black night, he channeled his spiritual energy and attacked the wood directly. With a few "crackling" sounds, the wood shattered.

Everyone else was throwing stones at the wood, and they didn't even notice who had smashed it into such small pieces. But that was fine, it saved them the effort.

Tang Shengkai stood up, carrying a log. "I'm leaving. You guys light a small fire to collect the bullets, but don't show yourselves."

"Old Tang, you must be careful."

Xu Hongchang's eyes reddened in the darkness. The others also offered their words of advice.

After nodding, Tang Shengkai quickly sprinted upstream.

The leader on the opposite bank kept his eyes fixed on Xu Hongchang and his group. When he saw that their fire had gone out, he became wary. But it was pitch black on the other side, and he couldn't see anything.

However, to avoid missing anything on this side, he kept his eyes fixed on the opposite bank. After more than ten minutes, he felt as if a dark shadow had darted away.

The leader frowned, blinked, and looked again carefully, but there was nothing there.

He had doubts, yet felt it was unlikely. Perhaps he was seeing things? Who could move that fast? He shook his head and continued eating.

However, his eyes remained fixed on the opposite bank. He felt there must be some activity on the other side. He quickly arranged for people to keep an eye on the surroundings, just in case they sneaked over.

Thinking about it, it seems impossible. Were they empty-handed? Haha!
