Yes, to save or not to save? Shang Zhen didn't need to look at the situation ahead. He believed that what Mr. Wang said was correct.
It stands to reason that there are only a dozen Japanese troops on the opposite side, and their sudden attack can completely catch the Japanese troops by surprise and save the three of them.
But the problem is, even if these dozen Japanese soldiers are easy to deal with, the sound of gunfire from their end will definitely attract the surrounding Japanese soldiers again.
As they are now outnumbered, if the Japanese army comes to hunt them down again, even if they are not trapped by the Japanese army, they will never be able to outrun the Japanese army with their current physical strength.
But Shang Zhen only thought for a moment and said to Mr. Wang: "The direction ahead is the direction you mentioned in Suizhong. So do you think these three soldiers could be sent by our large army to find us?"
When Shang Zhen said this, everyone felt their eyes light up.
Yes, they were mumbling earlier that if Hou Kanshan delivered Xin'er, reinforcements from Suizhong would arrive.
Shang Zhen's speculation directly shocked the hearts of the soldiers.
Just because Shang Zhen mentioned reinforcements, everyone has no strength now. They are in great need of reinforcements. Liu Cheng's regiment that wants to come to Ningyuan City also needs reinforcements.
If they didn't rescue the three people captured by the Japanese army, who were here to deliver a message, then their group would have delayed a major event.
Therefore, the hope of finding reinforcements at this moment could not be said to make Shang Zhen and the others excited, but it also made them feel that the front was brighter, and even the gray sky above their heads became brighter.
"Fight! Why not fight?" Several people said at the same time.
"Then fight! Let's go around in front of them and resolve the battle as quickly as possible." Shang Zhen gritted his teeth and became cruel.
Under the cover of the woods, Shang Zhen and the others started running again, temporarily forgetting their physical fatigue.
Five minutes later, Shang Zhen and the others were already hiding on the top of a gentle hill. Everyone was panting desperately, trying to stabilize their breathing.
They were panting so quickly, not only because they had exhausted some more physical strength, but because they were so close to the road under the hill, only a few dozen meters away. They even thought that if they were breathing louder , the Japanese troops who are about to pass here can hear it!
This time Shang Zhen and the others had a good idea. They found a terrain that was very suitable for an ambush.
There is a gentle and long hill on one side, and the road passes at the bottom of the hill.
Shang Zhen and the others were lying behind the ridge of the hill. As long as they showed up, they could see the Japanese troops that were about to pass by.
But even so, Shang Zhen was still not satisfied. He glanced at his people, and this time he finally gave an order to Mr. Wang: "Platoon leader, you and Qian Chuan'er go behind the bumpkin on the other side of the road."
After giving this order, Shang Zhen seemed to want to dilute the coerciveness of his order to avoid Mr. Wang's displeasure, so he explained the four words: "Crossfire."
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Shang Zhen had given him an order, but then he and Qian Chuan'er ran down the hill to the opposite side.
Why did Shang Zhen let Wang Laomao and Qian Chuan'er go over? It was because Wang Laomao and Qian Chuan'er both had flower traps in their hands.
"Line up, line up, and try not to shoot bullets at the same person!" Shang Zhen said again.
After saying these words, Shang Zhen crawled to his right side and looked towards the end of the path.
It only took a while before the small group of Japanese troops came over.
The invaders have their own tyranny.
They walked on the invaded land and forgot who the owner was. They thought they were proud kings. So why should they walk in the wilderness when they have a way to go?
But this is also a very sad fact for the current Chinese army. This is really determined by the strength of both the enemy and ourselves.
Just like Shang Zhen and others, they see roads in the mountains and forests, but many times they dare not walk, even though walking is definitely much faster than walking in the mountains.
Shang Zhen only glanced at it and quickly retreated.
The location of this hill is very good, but the hill is bare, except for a few clumps of dead grass and no trees or shrubs as cover.
"Be careful when shooting, don't hurt your own people." Shang Zhen warned again.
Everyone was lying down or lying behind the ridge of the hill, holding long or short weapons in their hands.
This was the first time that Shang Zhen and the others had been ambushed by the Japanese army at such a close range, and Shang Zhen had become nervous.
The reason why Zhang Zhen was nervous was not because he was afraid of killing the enemy, but because he did not dare to show his head on the hill.
Since he could not stretch his head to see the Japanese army, he could only judge the position of the Japanese army under the hill based on the speed of the Japanese army.
The road was still forty or fifty meters away from the top of the hill, so it was impossible to expect to hear footsteps.
When people in later generations watch movies and TV dramas, they will take it for granted that the enemy is coming, the ambushers appear, and chaotic gunshots sound, knocking down the enemy. But how can it be so easy in real battles?
This is like a work plan. People who watch the excitement from the side will never know the complexity of the actual work. Anyone can say it, but doing it is another matter.
Since Shang Zhen could not see where the Japanese troops had arrived, he did not know a small behavioral detail of the Japanese troops under the hill at this time.
The Japanese soldier walking in the front had his shoelaces untied, so the guy squatted down and began to tie his own shoes.
On both sides of the path are thorn plums that are common in the fields in the Northeast, but the thorn plums here are still in patches.
The so-called thorn plum can be understood as a wild rose. The stems of roses are all thorny. No Japanese army would take the initiative to rush into the thorn plum bush, so the team behind them was delayed, just to let the ones at the front The Japanese soldier tied his shoelaces.
But for Shang Zhen and the others who were behind the ridge of the hill, the battle was about to come, but time became torturous.
Should he stick his head out and take another look, or should he shout "hit" now?
At this time, Shang Zhen became conflicted, but he also knew that fighter opportunities on the battlefield were fleeting.
At this time, Shang Zhen noticed that his companions were looking at him. He felt pressure. What was the best way to release the pressure? That's fighting with a gun.
"Hit!" Shang Zhen, who was hesitating and struggling, finally made up his mind and shouted.
And with his loud shout, all the people on their side showed up.
Wherever you look, that's where the gun is pointing.
When Shang Zhen showed up, he could no longer care about the Japanese troops. He did not happen to pass by them, but was diagonally in front of them, still more than 50 meters away from them!
But the gunfire rang out.
It was Shang Zhen who thought the ambush was a little complicated. What was the difference between fifty meters and thirty or forty meters? When their gunfire rang out, the opponent's khaki figure was all shot and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the dozen or so Japanese soldiers were shot and fell down. However, one Japanese soldier reacted quickly and picked up his rifle while lying on his stomach, but at this moment, bullets flew from the opposite direction.
The Japanese soldier immediately trembled, dropped his rifle and stopped moving. He did die later than the others because he was the last Japanese soldier alive. Wang Laomao and Qian Chuaner each fired short bursts. All hit him.
"Charge!" Shang Zhen shouted, holding a gun and jumping up from behind the hill.
Their eyes were fixed on the yellow figure lying on the ground.
There was a Japanese soldier moving. Who knows if it was a convulsion before death or just injured by them. Then gunshots rang out and it was the Japanese soldier who was shot again.
At this time, there happened to be three people standing on the road. Looking at their expressions and their clothes, they turned out to be those of the Northeastern Army.
"Oh, you're finally here!" When Shang Zhen and the others made eye contact with the three Northeast Army soldiers, someone from both sides said at the same time.
But then Shang Zhen felt something was wrong. He blurted out and asked: "Where are you from?"
"Ningyuan County." A soldier answered.
Shang Zhen and the others were stunned for a moment, and instantly they felt like they were in a mess in the wind.
Their reinforcements did not arrive, but instead they became other people's reinforcements!
