The gunpowder smoke during the day has dissipated into the void. If it weren't for the faint sound of gunshots in the distance, the forest and wilderness would seem peaceful at night.
There is a bonfire in the distance. In the faint light of the bonfire, the hill, which is only a few dozen meters high, looks like a giant beast standing in the sky and earth in the dark, and everything in the world seems to be asleep.
But at a certain moment, a Japanese sentry heard some kind of sound coming from certain locations on the hill.
He listened carefully, and finally he was sure that there was indeed a sound there, so he gently touched his companion beside him and whispered a few words, and then his companion crawled aside.
Although the hill was not high, the walls were steep and difficult to climb. The Japanese army had no intention of attacking overnight, and they did not need to attack overnight.
They just need to surround the hill. They didn't believe how long the dozen Northeast Army soldiers on the mountain could survive.
The Japanese army did not plan to attack overnight, but that did not mean that they were unprepared. They still had to be prepared for Northeastern officers and soldiers on the mountain to come down the mountain at night and find out.
Attacking from the bottom of the mountain to the top is called a rear attack. The only things the Japanese army can cling to when attacking from the bottom are bushes and rocks, but the people on top of the Northeast Army can slide down the mountain by dragging ropes (for example, made of leggings). The Japanese army How can we not be on guard?
So even though the Japanese army only lit a bunch of bonfires, under the hill, they still let people go, although not many.
In the darkness, there were rustling and rolling sounds on the hill. At this time, a Japanese soldier had already run back under the cover of darkness.
The Japanese commander who was taking a nap was woken up. When he learned that there was movement on the mountain, he suddenly became energetic.
He first asked the sentinel carefully about the time when the sound was heard, and then he started to count the time as if he were calculating with his fingers.
Even though the hill was only a few dozen meters high, even if the Northeast Army climbed down the mountain with a rope, it would never be too fast.
The Japanese commander decided to take action when the Northeastern Army was halfway up the mountain, that is, when it could neither reach the sky nor reach the ground.
He thought his move was very clever, but he didn't know that in Chinese culture, there was an idiom called hitting the middle stream.
After a while, the Japanese commander felt that the time had come, so he whispered an order, and just as he whispered an order, there was a "boom" sound beside him, and a "shooting star" came from him. He rose quickly beside him and flew straight to the top of the hill.
And when the meteor flew over the hill, it exploded with a "pop" sound, and the hill was illuminated with light. It was the illumination bomb fired by the Japanese army.
And at the moment when the lighting was illuminated, the Japanese army saw a faint figure on the mountain wall.
This time there was no need for the commander to give orders. "Da da da", "pa", "pa" and "pa", the Japanese machine guns and rifles rang out at the same time, and the direction they focused their fire on was the wall of the hill.
They didn't know whether they hit the figure on the mountain wall, but the dense bullets sent sparks flying across the mountain wall.
"Yo Xi!" The Japanese commander burst out laughing.
But before his laughter stopped, gunshots suddenly rang out on the hill.
The gunfire could not be said to be that intense. After all, there were only a dozen Northeastern troops on the hill, and there were already hundreds of Japanese troops surrounding the hill.
The gunshots on the mountain include the "he, he, he" sound of the flower machine, the sound of box cannons firing continuously, and the "pop" sound of rifles.
Compared with the firepower of the Japanese army, the gunfire seemed so insignificant.
The problem is that although the Japanese army has sufficient firepower, they are shooting at the mountain wall, and the location on the hill where the bullets are fired is exactly where the Japanese gunfire shines.
At this moment, some of the unsuspecting Japanese soldiers were shot, and then some Japanese soldiers screamed.
The Japanese troops who had just reacted hurriedly fired their firepower at the top of the hill, but at this time, darkness had returned to the top of the hill, and the other side never fired a second shot.
Two minutes later, the Japanese commander ordered to stop shooting, and then some soldiers turned on their flashlights. Of course, even if they turned on their flashlights, they hid behind rocks to guard against cold shots on the mountain.
In the dark night, they were still under the threat of firepower from the Northeast Army. It was not convenient for them to do anything. After questioning for a long time, the Japanese commander took stock and found that three more of his men had been killed and wounded. two.
The previously cheerful "Yo Xi" now became "Baga". Only then did the Japanese commander realize that the Northeastern Army had come down to break out. They were just making noise and waiting for them to shoot.
And when they opened fire, their position was naturally exposed, and then other people's firepower came up, and when they counterattacked, they hid again!
When things got to this point, the Japanese commander usually cursed the Northeastern Army for being so cunning, and at the same time thought ferociously about how he would cut the Northeastern Army into pieces after catching them.
And just when the Japanese officer was getting angry, a burst of loud laughter suddenly came from the top of the hill.
If it weren’t for translators, people from country A would generally not understand the language of people from country B.
But as human beings, some things are the same, such as crying and laughing. What the Japanese officer heard now was the laughter of the Northeast Army soldiers on the hill after counting the success of their Japanese Kwantung Army.
Yes, the Japanese army was plotted by Shang Zhen and others.
Shang Zhen did have plans to break out at night, but not from the mountain pass.
If Shang Zhen and his group had a hundred or so people, he might adopt this method. After all, if a few people sacrificed a small number of people and then the rest rushed out, it would be a good idea.
But there were too few of them, only about ten in total. If they hit the muzzle of the Japanese army's guns, they would be gone with a "click, click, click".
Shang Zhen's true direction of breaking out was at the back, on the mountain ridge.
"Let's go, let's go back, we must be careful, we are not afraid of being slow, as long as we can cross the ridge before dawn." Shang Zhen said.
After all, there was only one dismounted cavalryman on the mountain at the other end.
During the day, the Japanese army also attacked them from both sides of the mountain ridge. However, the walls on both sides of the mountain ridge were also very steep, and the Japanese army's attack was repelled by them with just a few shots.
There was a whisper in the darkness. The complex terrain here undoubtedly protected Shang Zhen and the others during the day. Only with such huge rocks could Shang Zhen and the others avoid the bombing of Japanese grenades.
But when walking at night, those boulders became obstacles again. Shang Zhen and the others had to be careful. It was really just groping forward. This kind of progress must be touched with hands before moving, so now they are walking like that Waddling snail.
In the distance, in the direction of Coastal City, there were still faint gunshots. Could it be that the Japanese army was attacking Ningyuan City overnight? Shang Zhen thought again, feeling that the group seemed to be quite choked. If he remembered correctly, the gunshots had been ringing from yesterday morning until now.
