Shang Zhen kept running headlong. He didn't even look at the house guarding the bridge on the other side of the river.
There were four reasons why he didn't look. First, he didn't need to look at it because he had already peeked before setting off. Second, if there are really Japanese troops on the opposite side, if he looks up, it will arouse the other side's suspicion. Third, he pretended to be in a hurry to deliver the letter and ran forward, so that the other party would not be suspicious.
The last reason sounds awkward to say, because he didn't dare to look. He was afraid that if he really looked up there, he would lose the courage to charge forward.
Shang Zhen finally rushed down from the arch bridge. At least for now, the gun didn't go off. Shang Zhen's next actions were all planned by him. As soon as he let go of his right hand, the paper he originally held in his hand floated out. .
"Oops!" Shang Zhen shouted. It was as if he accidentally let go of his hand and the important information drifted away in the wind.
Regardless of the fact that the piece of paper actually only said "Kill the enemy formation, I pray for your safety", Shang Zhen also regarded it as a piece of information that must be passed on without any loss, so what Shang Zhen did on that piece of paper? When the paper fell, he turned around and chased after the paper.
If the whole thing up to this point was due to Shang Zhen's calculation, then the next step was Shang Zhen's luck.
The moment he gave up and threw the paper, a small gust of wind came, and the paper was blown a little far away by the wind.
At this time, Shang Zhen even threw away the rifle in his left hand in a hurry, and he chased the piece of paper.
This is all understandable. If a communications soldier loses information in order to deliver it, he will have to recover the piece of paper no matter what.
Therefore, even though the piece of paper only floated more than ten meters away, Shang Zhen sprinted at a speed of 100 meters.
But it was only for a moment. Shang Zhen, who seemed to be picking up the paper, did not pick up the paper. Instead, he suddenly stepped on the paper under his feet. He jumped forward and quickly hid at the end of the bridge. Behind a stone lion!
What you said was so fast that the Northeastern officers and soldiers who had been watching Shang Zhen's actions were dumbfounded. Even their company commander Zhang Xancai said "I 卄"!
What is calculated mentally and without intention? If there is really a Japanese ambush on the opposite side, whoever rushes onto the stone bridge will be killed by Japanese firepower.
But Shang Zhen created an illusion by disguising himself as a correspondent, and then successfully crossed the stone arch bridge and hid!
Is Shang Zhen's move correct? If there were no Japanese troops on the other side, Shang Zhen's series of behaviors would have seemed so ridiculous. To others, he would have looked like a neurotic ADHD.
But are there really Japanese troops in the courtyard next to the bridge?
It doesn't matter, Shang Zhen still has his own way to test it.
A grenade flew out from behind the stone lion that was nearly a person tall, and at the same time Shang Zhen raised his right hand after throwing the grenade.
How far can Shang Zhen throw that 530-gram Taisho ten-year-style grenade? In fact, he could only throw it thirty to forty meters without a run-up. This was the result of him seizing all his free time to conduct strength training on his own.
Fortunately, the distance he was throwing the grenade was just right for him to throw the grenade into the yard!
Because that yard is right next to the road to Shiqiao, just within the distance of Shang Zhen throwing grenades.
Will the grenade explode?
Generally speaking, as long as the grenade does not malfunction and Shang Zhen operates it properly, such as pulling out the pin and smashing the copper cap, the grenade will definitely explode.
But if the grenade exploded and there were Japanese troops in the yard, there would definitely be casualties.
But what happened a moment later was that the Northeastern officers and soldiers on the other side of the river were shocked. They saw the grenade flying out of the yard again!
And the grenade landed six or seven meters away from the stone lion where Shang Zhen was hiding, and then exploded with a "boom". The broken shrapnel hit the stone lion, and a "dang-dang" sound was heard. "the sound of.
This situation was beyond the expectations of everyone present.
There is no doubt that there is someone in that courtyard. As long as there is someone, it must be the Japanese army. But why did the grenade fly out of the courtyard again?
Shang Zhen, who threw the grenade, can't be blamed for this. Although Shang Zhen had already captured the Japanese grenade, this was the first time he used such a grenade.
And it’s no wonder that the Northeastern officers and soldiers were stunned at this incident. It was indeed the first time for Shang Zhen to throw such a Japanese oval grenade, but it was also the first time for the Northeastern officers and soldiers present to see someone using a Japanese grenade!
Since no one among them has ever used this kind of grenade by the Japanese army, no one knows that the delayed explosion time of this kind of Japanese grenade is actually 7 seconds!
Based on the distance at which the grenade was thrown in Shang Town and the delayed explosion time of the grenade, when the grenade fell into the yard, the Japanese soldiers in the yard had time to pick it up and throw it out!
Fortunately, the Japanese army was not prepared for a grenade flying into the yard. When they were in a hurry, the grenade was thrown incorrectly. Shang Zhen had a stone lion as a cover, so he escaped.
At this time, Shang Zhen, who was hiding behind the stone lion, had no other choice. How could he know that the grenade would explode after a delay of 7 seconds?
But this time the goddess of luck came to visit him again, and then he threw out another explosive, and this time it was not an oval grenade, but a grenade with a wooden handle.
As for why Shang Zhen only used one grenade, the reason was simple. It was just because there was only one grenade left in his hand that he captured from the Japanese army.
"Da da da", finally a Japanese machine gun sounded, but the machine gun was set on the roof of the house in the yard.
So far, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the yard have only seen Shang Zhen alone, so the machine gun naturally shot at Shang Zhen.
The Japanese army's marksmanship was so accurate that a short burst of those shots sent sparks flying from the stone lion where Shang Zhen was hiding.
But at this moment, the grenade thrown by Shang Zhen flew into the yard again.
There were more than 10 Japanese soldiers in the yard. One Japanese soldier saw another grenade flying in and hurriedly grabbed it with his hands. However, he caught the grenade and threw it out again. When the grenade was released, it exploded with a "boom" sound. .
"Come up with me! We're still waiting for food!" At this time, someone among the Northeast officers and soldiers on the other side shouted loudly, but that person was Lao Huotou!
At the same time, Zhang Xiancai, who had just woken up, shouted loudly: "Fire cover!"
Compared with Lao Huo Tou's reaction, Zhang Xiancai's reaction was half a beat slower. As for why it was slower than Lao Huo Tou's reaction, the reason was that the trick Shang Zhen told Zhang Xiancai before he came out was not like this. Said.
If the battle plan proposed by Shang Zhen is a script, Shang Zhen is an actor.
But the problem is that Shang Zhen didn't exactly follow the script after crossing the river!
Before crossing the river, Shang Zhen told Zhang Xiancai that I would rush to the courtyard alone. If there were Japanese soldiers there, I would fire grenades and kill them together. Then our people would immediately launch a charge.
Shang Zhen also rushed out, but he did not die with the Japanese army. Instead, he hid. Zhang Xiancai felt that he had been deceived, so his reaction was slow.
