"Why are the Japanese still running in front of us?" Shang Zhen felt surprised.
What he said was the common question of their group.
It's just that they had doubts but others didn't. Hu Zhuzhu replied matter-of-factly: "We have legs, and so do the Japanese."
Hu Zhuzi's words immediately interrupted Shang Zhen's train of thought!
But no one can say that what Hu Zhuzi said is wrong. Yes, Chinese people are human beings, and Japanese people are also human beings, so why can’t the Japanese people run ahead?
Hu Zhuzi's words were really ill-timed, and Old Man Wang was so angry that he glared again.
He had just finished explaining discipline to these people not long ago, but in the blink of an eye he forgot about Tiger Zhuzi. How about calling him Tiger Zhuzi?
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Erhanzi said angrily, and Huzhuzi fell silent.
Erhanzi is a fool, but he is not a tiger. The characteristic of Erhanzi is that he is obedient. The characteristic of Tiger Zhuzi is that he always likes to make his own decisions, and everyone can figure out whether his idea is good or bad without asking.
At this moment, the Japanese machine gun fire couldn't stop. Veterans like Shang Zhen and others knew that the Japanese army must have at least three or four light machine guns when they heard the gunfire.
Having fought many battles with the Japanese army, they have now learned the characteristics of the Japanese army's crooked light machine guns.
That kind of machine gun uses a funnel to refill bullets. In theory, it has unlimited shooting possibilities.
Just imagine, this machine gunner pulls the trigger and keeps shooting, while the bomb loader keeps adding bullets into the funnel. Can this machine gun shoot infinitely?
I would say that this design concept is quite good, but in fact it is not the case at all!
As for the Japanese machine guns, most of the time they only fired short bursts or long bursts. After a few hits, the bolt had to be pulled.
Why? Because the cartridge case cannot be ejected, the machine gun is jammed. Only by pulling the bolt can the empty cartridge case be spit out from the machine gun!
It is precisely because the Japanese army's crooked machine guns fire in short bursts most of the time. Now that the Japanese machine gun fire has stopped, why do they still have three or four guns?
To say that three or four machine guns sounds quite scary, but the key to the problem is who will score against those three or four machine guns.
If three or four machine guns faced Shang Zhen and his group of only a dozen people, they would naturally be extremely powerful. If they faced a single company of the Chinese army, their firepower would be considered strong.
But what is the situation now? From Shang Zhen's current position, we can see if there are many broken troops. There are always thousands of them!
Three or four machine guns against thousands of people is just a drop in the bucket. Can thousands of people be intimidated by the Japanese army's three or four light machine guns?
But the problem is that Shang Zhen thought about him so much, but the other defeated soldiers in front of him didn't think so. Shang Zhen and the others ran back one after another when they saw the defeated soldiers in front of them.
There were so many defeated soldiers. If Shang Zhen and the others didn't think of a way, they would be trapped by the defeated soldiers!
But can we go back now? How could they call a rout if they could retreat?
"You're running back, are you going to be attacked by Japanese artillery shells?" Realizing this, Shang Zhen immediately shouted.
Shang Zhen's shout was so sudden that it startled him. However, it was the first time that he realized that he was shouting so loudly when he pulled his neck out!
No matter how loud he was, his voice was instantly drowned in the noise of the defeated soldiers.
"Don't even run! We are only six or seven miles away from Xifengkou ahead. Running back is a dead end, so why not rush over!" To Shang Zhen's surprise, the soldier who came up to chat with him also shouted. stand up.
When Shang Zhen and the soldier shouted, the two groups also understood, so they started shouting too.
After all, there is strength in numbers. The two groups of them shouted together, and the sound finally suppressed the noise of the defeated soldiers.
The defeated soldiers just lost their fighting spirit, and their organization was also in chaos when they were chased by the Japanese army, but this did not mean that they could not understand that going back would be a dead end.
As soon as Shang Zhen and the others shouted, some of the defeated soldiers followed suit, and the defeated soldiers who had been driven back by the Japanese machine guns finally stopped.
"How to fix it?" Shang Zhen asked Mr. Wang.
"Why throw it away for fun?" Wang Laomao asked Shang Zhen in surprise.
"No matter what, we can't stand here!" Shang Zhen said.
"Why, it's not our turn to take the lead." Mr. Wang snorted.
Although Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao spoke simply, the people next to them understood it.
In this situation, there may not be many Japanese troops in front, but no matter how they organize it, it is not their turn to take the lead.
Their old man Wang was a platoon leader, and among the defeated troops, not to mention the platoon leader, there might even be company commanders, battalion commanders, and regimental commanders. Who could they command?
If the officers didn't organize the charge, how could they let their group charge? If they charge, they can only charge them themselves!
But in this situation, they would not charge. Why should they go forward and die when more than a thousand troops were defeated?
How about calling it a rout?
This is what it will look like if the army is in chaos!
An officer cannot find his soldiers, and a soldier cannot find his officers.
Legend has it that King Yama has ten palaces, and one Yama can only take care of his own bull-headed and horse-faced palace. You and other Yama-lords can control the bull-headed and horse-faced palaces of other palaces. Is that okay?
If it is said that there is no need for other people to organize, and all the Northeast Army has its own responsibility to fight the Japanese army, then it cannot be said that Rehe Province will not be lost, but at least it will not be lost so quickly!
Shang Zhen lowered his head in thought and didn't say anything. Mr. Wang didn't say anything either. Those who could make the decision didn't say anything. Shang Zhen and his group just stayed there with their guns in hand.
But at this time, they didn't notice that the faces of the five soldiers with swords on their backs who were standing with them had expressions of contempt and disappointment.
"How about we touch it from the side and take a look?" Shang Zhen finally spoke after a while.
"Okay! Okay!" Shang Zhen said this, and someone immediately agreed. Who? Who else besides the tiger pillar?
Shang Zhen was very cautious when he said this, but when it was over, he looked directly at the faces of everyone, especially Mr. Wang.
As for what kind of mentality Shang Zhen has, his companions can also understand it.
Although Shang Zhen is their leader, he is not their commander after all. Shang Zhen has no power to decide the life and death of himself and these people!
Especially now, this group of defeated soldiers has finally returned to their own camp after a lot of hard work. Thousands or more defeated soldiers did not come forward, but they went to fight the Japanese army?
That's fine if one person doesn't die, but if even one person dies, how can Shang Zhen feel satisfied?
From the bottom of my heart, despite Shang Zhen's clever mind, he simply didn't have the consciousness of a commander.
While they were escaping all the way back, Shang Zhen often had no choice but to make the decision. Of course, he knew that other people's ideas were not as good as his own.
But this time, everyone has a choice. As the saying goes, if you take a step back, the sky will be brighter. If you rush forward, it will really be a single-plank bridge blocked by machine guns. Do you think he can make this decision?
"You all look at me so damn much?" Mr. Wang was unhappy.
Shang Zhen felt that he was not the leader, but their group already regarded him as the leader.
And now that Shang Zhen is going to see Wang Lao Mao, why don’t everyone else have to watch Wang Lao Mao?
After Mr. Wang finished cursing, Shang Zhen remained silent, and neither did anyone else. Finally, Mr. Wang was so angry that he said, "Young master, look at me, you are the boss and you have the final say!"
"Come on, let's go around and have a look." Shang Zhen smiled.
When Shang Zhen smiled like this, the rest of the group also laughed.
This was not the first time but the second time that Shang Zhen had done something like this.
When they rescued the cavalry company last time, he also said that he came forward to take a look, and the result of the look was naturally that he started fighting with the Japanese army again.
And this time, will it be any different? impossible!
As soon as Shang Zhen and his group of more than ten people moved, Hu Zhuzhu grinned again and said heartlessly.
"Hey, what the hell, you won't even know how you died in a while!" Qin Chuan cursed in a low voice in anger.
"It's hard to buy me with money, but I'm happy. Do you care?" Hu Zhuzhu replied unconvinced.
At this time, the five soldiers with swords on their backs exchanged glances with each other, and they followed.
