Jefferson's order was timely, but it also caused great distress to the grassroots: some of the outposts began to fire indiscriminately, triggering a fierce burst of gunfire and then inducing even more chaos. Due to the different judgments of the various units on the enemy's situation, coupled with the chaos and panic during the night, gunfire broke out for a time, and this atmosphere of panic and anxiety infected more people, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

At this moment, the commandos did not storm Post No. 4 as the Americans expected, and Skorzny thought that he had succeeded against the road post twice in a row, and it would be impossible to succeed again the third time, so he chose a different path.

He led his troops out of the road network at a rapid intersection, and headed straight for Melton, where the south bank of the river channel, and crossed here to the north bank, where they were only seven kilometres away from Oak Ridge.

While the various U.S. outposts were firing at each other in the confusion, the assault team had already deployed their kayaks, crossed the Melton River in batches with equipment and ordnance, and the overall width of the river was less than 350 meters, and the current was so smooth that it was very convenient to cross the river by kayak.

While nervously preparing to cross the river, the spare vehicle was hidden by three commandos 1,800 meters away from the crossing point, and although the target could be found with a little search, Skorzny's aim was to confuse the enemy's view.

At 5 a.m., the commandos crossed the Melton River and hid in a cave in Canyon Bay, where they were to rest and regain their strength while studying their next battle plan.

The sun finally rose, and the night that the commandos relied on to protect finally faded.

The situation at posts 6 and 7 and what happened to the river patrol force caused great shock to the US command, and they immediately went into action, with all the forces they could mobilize, and began the search.

At 7:05, the Air Force reconnaissance plane swept over the course of the Tennessee River, and the observers found that the Stone Town Tennessee River under the surface of the water was an inland river after all, the water depth was very shallow, and it was not clear at night, and the traces were quickly revealed under the sun during the day.

"Found it, in Area 9, sunk in the river, there's a boat there!"

At about the same time, the reconnaissance unit also arrived at posts 6 and 7, and in order to track the enemy, they sent a police dog unit. The dogs set off from post 7 and traveled along the road to number 6 and then moved north, but by about 8 o'clock, the dogs had lost track of the scent, and the commando's scent had been masked by other smelling chemicals.

"Check, on the one hand, send troops to search, and on the other hand, send divers to check the situation of the wreck." General Jefferson was furious, and although he didn't know what was in Oak Ridge, the Department of Defense and General Marshall had told him to protect Oak Ridge that it was very important.

At 7:45, the officers and soldiers of the search found the second wrecked ship, the A2 motorboat with the number 027, and 15 minutes later, the divers went deep into the bottom compartment of the Stone Town, checked a pile of corpses, and then removed the metal plate from the corpse.

The results of the metal plate check were clear: this was the first patrol that disappeared last night.

"It seems that there is a big problem with this Stone Town, how did they get through the river checkpoint?" Jefferson roared in the command headquarters, "Check, give me a stop to check, and then the search of other troops can't relax for a moment, I don't believe it, if you turn this 60-kilometer radius upside down, you won't be able to find these people!" ”

"Sir, we received a message from the criminal police that 2 bodies appeared on the Mississippi River early this morning, ostensibly drunk and drowning, but in fact they were dead before they drowned."

"Well, that's a big suspicion."

"Good news, sir, some troops have found the trucks that have always been there."

"Is there anyone up there?"

"No one!"

"Then you don't want to keep tracking?"

"They have no other clues, and they have urgently dispatched military dogs to support!"

At 9:27 a.m., the U.S. patrol, supported by military dogs, finally arrived at the commando crossing point, and the military dogs barked wildly at the not particularly wide river.

Fifteen minutes later, with the help of military dogs, the troops found the wreckage of the kayak and other clothing abandoned by the commandos, and by 10 o'clock they arrived at the cave where the commandos had been sheltered in the early hours of the morning. But the traces inside can't find more valuable clues than to show that someone has been there.

At this moment, the Mexican gangsters have disguised themselves as the US military search team, mixed in the large force to fish in troubled waters, they not only skillfully avoided the rest of the large troops, but even took advantage of their unpreparedness to attack the small force, and obtained standard walkie-talkie equipment and 2 trucks, all of which were hand-to-hand moves.

As for the password, it was what they got from their opponents after they preemptively asked questions, and Skolzne's danger factor and composure were quite surprising.

When the cave where they were hiding was intercepted by the U.S. military, they not only escaped from other "friendly forces" who were detected, but also infiltrated only 5 kilometers from Oak Ridge.

However, there is obviously a big problem in going deeper, and when Watson and his troops tried to search the inner circle, they were met with a cold reply from the other party: "Captain, the core area should not be where you came, you should continue to search in the outer control area." ”

"Sir, what should I do? Can't get in! ”

After two failed attempts, Watson retreated with his troops and nervously asked Skorzny.

The latter looked at his watch, but at 11:48 p.m., it was more than six hours before dark.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let's continue to search, let's talk about the time, and wait until it gets dark." ”

"It's dark?"

"Have Alfred send a telegram to HQ asking them to launch a blurred attack on the target around 6 o'clock, disrupt the enemy's line of sight, and create more opportunities for us!"

"Understood!"

Jefferson felt like he was going mad: a whole morning of searching found only a pile of corpses and the scene of destruction, and there was no trace of his opponent. Not only did they not find the exact location of the enemy, but they also suffered heavy losses on their side, and from time to time friendly troops thought they had caught a spy and opened fire. Although the exchange of fire was only limited to the machine gun and rifle level, casualties inevitably appeared, and the casualties alone were better said, and the most important thing was that after verification, the troops who fought were all their own people, and they were all mistaken!

"The enemy must exist, judging by the number of people, it is estimated that there are no less than 15 people, and they have been disguised as our army, and it is difficult to distinguish them purely from the appearance and documents, and other methods must be used."

"In what way?"

"Inquire about the internal situation of the troops concerned, such as who the commander is, who the chief of staff is, who is the head of the logistics department, and who is the commander of the respective unit"

A whole bunch of staff officers brained and asked a long list of questions such as who America's most popular baseball star is, what are the songs that have been circulating lately, how various American dishes are cooked, and so on.

It's a pity that Wolf is here on the commando side, and except for some difficulty in dealing with the names of the commanders of the various units, the rest of the internal situation in the United States is completely clear. Even within the US military, it is impossible for everyone to know all about some situations, so this kind of search was tossed until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no definite evidence. The troops looked at everyone else like spies, and they were full of suspicion when they looked at their comrades-in-arms.

"Sir, we have received a definite piece of information from a civilian ship called the Emperor."

"How?"

"He introduced the Stone Town to a bunch of Americans, and they were probably gangsters in his eyes."

"Gangsters?" Jefferson's eyes widened, "How is that possible?" Gangsters have such strength that they can sneak in without even noticing? ”

"That's right, he said that the other party had a lot of narcotics and alcohol in his hand, and there were about 30 other people, and what impressed him the most was a 9-meter man and a young woman."

"Female? Big? Alcohol? ”

The female is Lisa; The big guy was Skorzne, and as for the alcohol, Jefferson suddenly reacted, and the diver said that the Stone Town had a batch of wine.

"I understand that this is an enemy spy who has infiltrated the United States and disguised himself as an American gang."

"Attention troops, there is a woman among the enemies, pay attention to screening! Pay attention to screening! ”

At 5:50 p.m., just as the evening that the commandos had been waiting for was approaching, they were in a small trouble, and Lisa was spotted by an unexpected U.S. patrol.

"Fire!" Seeing that it was no longer possible to get through the blinds, Skoltsny immediately launched a preemptive attack.

So the gunfire moved, and the Browning heavy machine guns raised their fierce tongues of fire, sweeping the enemy to the ground like wheat harvesting.

"Headquarters, headquarters, we have found the enemy, they are in area 19, the fire is very strong, the fire is very strong, come and reinforce it! Come and reinforce it"

"Brethren, reinforcements from the Führer have arrived!" At 6:04, Skorzny, who commanded his subordinates to resist stubbornly, suddenly pointed to the air and said, "Look, what is that!" ”

The soldiers on both sides watched the meteor pass through the sky in a daze, oh no, it was a rocket!
