Several Japanese soldiers moved forward carefully with guns in hand, but at this moment they saw a man suddenly running out of the farmhouse and running straight for the goat.
"Don't shoot." Commander Cao, the leader of the Japanese army, gave the order directly.
Now they were behind their artillery. If there was no combat mission, he wouldn't mind shooting the civilian who ran out.
But that doesn't work now. If they fire, the artillerymen in front will think something is happening behind them when they hear the gunfire, which will affect the battle.
What's more, seeing that the common people had obviously noticed the four of them walking down the hillside, they hid directly behind the tree.
The tree was very thick, but the man was very thin, just like a hemp pole. They were hiding behind the tree to untie the rope, but they had no shooting angle!
Seeing such a scene, the Japanese soldiers laughed as they quickened their pace.
They did not think that the common people would be members of the Northeast Army. Although they looked down upon the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, they also admitted that the Chinese were much taller than the Japanese!
The man they saw clearly did not have the temperament of a soldier.
At this time, they saw that the man had untied the rope, led the goat and ran into the yard.
The four Japanese soldiers burst out laughing. If the man led the sheep elsewhere, they might not have time to chase him, but hiding in his own yard was exactly what they wanted!
The four Japanese soldiers chased after them with guns in hand, but they had no idea that just after this person led the sheep into the courtyard wall built with adobe, it was already a different scene inside!
"Here we go, get ready!" The man leading the sheep said nervously but a little excitedly. He was none other than Shang Zhen!
Shang Zhen's nervousness and excitement at this time were inevitable. He was nervous because they were going to have to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army. This was not only for him but also for his group. That was the first time.
But he was excited because he was the one who made this move!
After arriving in this small village, there was no need for Shang Zhen and the others to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. The people here had already done the reconnaissance for them yesterday.
When the Japanese army opened fire on Ningyuan City, how could the people in the village not know?
But since it was hard to leave their homeland, the method they adopted was to endure it!
Taking advantage of the dense woods and secluded mountain roads, no one had a fire to cook, and the Japanese army did not come in to search when they saw the mountains behind them.
So since yesterday evening, when the Japanese army fired artillery in front, the people in the village behind chose a few quick-legged people to watch from a distance on the mountain, and there was no fire in every house.
In their minds, they naturally waited until the war was over. As long as the Japanese army did not discover their small village, they would have escaped.
But it was different when Shang Zhen and the others came. They came just to harass the Japanese army.
Shang Zhen thought of a trick and asked three families to light the fire directly. The smoke really attracted the Japanese army.
Of course the common people did not agree with the actions of people like Shang Zhen, but at this time, how could they be left alone?
Mr. Wang said at that time, those common people, you are confused. If you can escape the first day of junior high school, can you escape the fifteenth day? Just your village, take advantage of the fact that it’s not cold, go see relatives and friends and hide far away from the county seat!
So what if those people don't agree? The Northeast Army was an army, and the Japanese army was an army of invaders. Now that the Japanese army had a reputation for massacring villages, the common people had no choice but to hide.
The people here began to hide, and Shang Zhen and the others began to take action.
Just when they sent people to light fires and smoke, most of them were already hiding on the hills and watching the Japanese army.
Seeing the Japanese army sending a total of five people over from a distance, Shang Zhen blurted out a sentence that even scared him.
Because Shang Zhen said, how about we kill these five idiots instead of shooting, and then we pretend to be them and go there?
Shang Zhen's idea made everyone's hearts pound at the time, and they calmed down after a while.
If they just wanted to kill these five Japanese soldiers, it wouldn't take much effort.
There are 13 of them now.
At first, there were 6 people in Wang Lao Mao's group, and 7 in Lao Huo Tou's group. But when they broke out last time, Tiger Pillar rushed out, and together with Xiao Dustpan, there were 15 people.
Hou Kanshan was sent back by Wang Laomao to find reinforcements, so another one left. In the end, there were still 14 of them.
There are 14 people, all of whom have guns in their hands, including veterans such as Wang Laomao, Lao Huotou, and Qiu Bo.
With deliberate arithmetic and unintentional calculations, 14 people hit 5 Japanese soldiers. As long as the gunshots were fired unexpectedly, the 5 Japanese soldiers would be dead.
However, Shang Zhen proposed to kill the five Japanese soldiers without making any noise, which is another matter!
If you don't shoot, you have to use bayonets. If you use bayonets, it's hand-to-hand combat. But they have never fought with the Japanese army with bayonets. Who can guarantee that 13 of them can stab those five Japanese soldiers to death with bayonets?
Shang Zhen was elected as the leader, so it stands to reason that what Shang Zhen said was an order, and it should be true to his word.
But Shang Zhen naturally understood that he had never fought a similar battle, so how could he directly take the initiative?
After hearing what Shang Zhen said, Qin Chuan said, "You want to fight with the Japanese on the bayonet? You're such a small body, you charge up first and I will follow!"
Everyone understood that what Qin Chuan said was angry.
As far as Shang Zhen's body is concerned, even if he intensifies his training, the Great Wall was not built in a day or two, and the big blisters were not built after a few days of rain. Shang Zhen's foundation is too poor, no matter what I'm still slim now.
Can he fight with the Japanese army with a bayonet due to his weak appearance? I'm afraid that if someone takes a shot at him, the rifle in his hand will go flying!
At this point, Shang Zhen's suggestion was met with objections. But since Shang Zhen had already used his brain, he thought about it and suddenly said, "Don't worry about whether I dare to bayonet with the Japanese soldiers, but I figured it out." An idea to lure Japanese soldiers over without firing.
What idea did Shang Zhen come up with? That's when he thought of the goat in the village who didn't know whose family it was.
When Shang Zhen proposed using the goat as bait, Lao Huotou and Wang Laomao's eyes lit up, but Lao Huotou then asked Shang Zhen, what are you going to do next?
Shang Zhen said, didn't I say that? We can pretend to be Japanese soldiers and get close to them. I see there aren't many Japanese cannons there. We can catch them by surprise.
We only have this small number of people, but we can't do anything big. If we can blow up the Japanese cannons, we will have made a big noise. It's over, let's run away. At some point we will be worthy of the brothers in the city. .
After Shang Zhen said these words, everyone felt that their little hearts that had just stopped were beating again.
But at that time, there was no time for them to think too much.
Due to his junior qualifications and limited experience, Shang Zhen could only make suggestions. He could not make the decision on this kind of thing.
It's just that he can't make the decision, but someone can. The two people, Wang Lao Mao and Lao Huo Tou, exchanged glances and said at the same time, "I think it will work!"
With the approval of Old Mao Wang and Old Huo Tou, the matter will be settled.
So when the five Japanese soldiers arrived at the first hill, they didn't know that there were still two soldiers secretly monitoring them in the woods next to them. Their rifles were already pointed at them, and they retreated to the village. Shang Zhen and the others have already begun to set up "traps".
