But the matter is not over yet.
Of the Chinese troops on the top of the mountain, only Du Man was left lying behind a stone and watching down.
The others hid in the middle of the mountain top, and no one dared to make a sound. If one of them coughed, maybe the enemies below the mountain would hear it.
At this time, the Japanese troops under the firelight in the east also came over with guns drawn.
As soon as the two sides of the Japanese army met, they determined that the two Northeastern Army soldiers they were chasing must be hiding somewhere nearby, so the Japanese army started searching with torches and flashlights.
By this time, Du Man didn't dare to lie on the edge and watch. He could only turn his head back and listen to the movement down the mountain with everyone.
I saw a sound coming from the hillside. It was the Japanese and puppet troops coming up the mountain.
And on the top of the mountain, there was the sound of thin breathing. Everyone was holding the gun tightly, but the safety of the gun was not turned on. This was what Shang Zhen had previously ordered. No one was allowed to fire or load the gun, or put their hand on the trigger. !
The reason why Shang Zhen made such a request was of course because he was afraid that some of them would pull the trigger nervously and cause it to misfire, and then waiting for them would be a stormy attack by the Japanese Lei Army.
It was dark on the top of the mountain, because the mountain blocked the firelight below, and there was the sky above, which could not reflect the firelight.
But the firelight coming from the hillside was getting brighter and brighter. Finally, Shang Zhen and the others heard someone speaking just under their bodies, on the slope below the steep wall.
"Meng Laowai, do you think those two guys could have hid on the top of the mountain?" One person said. Since they were speaking in Chinese, they must be puppet soldiers.
"What the hell are you talking about? People can have wings?" Another voice replied, and it was obvious that this voice was the Meng Laowai.
"There were footprints running here just now in the snow beneath me." The person who spoke earlier disagreed and even gave an example.
Just what this man said made everyone on the top of the mountain feel tense, and the hands holding the guns clenched tighter!
"Are there any footprints? You idiot, there's nothing. We didn't look at anything! We didn't listen to anything!" At this time, Meng Laowai said in a low voice.
As God testifies, Shang Zhen and the others heard everything that Meng Laowai said on the top of the mountain. The distance between their top of the mountain and the bottom of the steep wall was only more than 10 meters high.
As a result, everyone's hands holding weapons became tighter.
Judging from the meaning of Mr. Meng's crooked words, this guy also suspected that there was someone hiding on the top of the mountain, and it seemed that he heard something just now. Could it be that he heard Shang Zhen's "Come up quickly" earlier?
However, I saw that this guy was pretending to be confused and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Shang Zhen and the others didn't know whether he was afraid of death and refused to meet the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers, or whether this was a tactic to delay the war.
At this time, the only option is to gamble your life.
"Why are you two so lazy up there? Come down quickly if there's no one around!" Someone shouted from the bottom of the mountain at this time.
"Company Commander, let's go down right now. I'm not just peeing, I'm standing high so I can urinate as far away as possible!" That Meng Laowai replied in a very informal manner.
"If you keep bluffing, I'll slap your crooked mouth again!" Someone at the foot of the mountain scolded, but it didn't sound like the company commander's voice.
"That's a good relationship. If you can slap me right on the face, I'd really like to thank you! I'd like to thank you for eight generations of my ancestors!" Meng Laowai replied again.
That Meng Lao Wai is really good at dealing with emotions. His nickname comes from his crooked mouth.
Meng Laowai's words naturally caused a burst of laughter from the puppet soldiers at the foot of the mountain.
It’s just that no one in the Northeast Army or Northwest Army on the mountain laughed. They thought Meng Laowai’s joke was not funny at all!
Everyone on the mountain was still nervous, but at this time, there was finally another sound on the hillside, the fire gradually faded away, and the two people finally went down.
"Do you think that Meng Laowai knows that we are up there?" Du Man asked just as the voices below became quieter and the Japanese and puppet troops began to move elsewhere.
"What he said seemed to mean that he knew we were up there." Shang Zhen replied with some worry.
The puppet soldier named Meng Laowai was gone, but suspense was left for Shang Zhen and the others.
Not only Du Man, but also Shang Zhen had no confidence in his heart!
Did Meng Laowai guess that they were there or just thought that the two Northeastern Army soldiers were hiding in the mountains.
If he directly revealed the truth, he would die!
But if he revealed the truth, how could Shang Zhen and the others let him go? If Shang Zhen and the others had only fired a shot from above, the two puppet soldiers would have died first.
Will Meng Laowai tell the Japanese army or his company commander after he has gone far, and then the Japanese army will fire a few artillery shells on the mountain, and then Shang Zhen and the others will be finished.
At this time, there is a conflict between the enemy and ourselves, and human lives are at stake. Be it Shang Zhen or Du Man, who dares to put their hope in luck?
"I really need to think of a trick." Du Man pondered.
As Du Man pondered, Shang Zhen felt a hint of guilt.
At that time, he was trying to save people, but it was really inappropriate for him to shout in that situation. How could he have thought that not only the Japanese troops were coming, but also the puppet troops were following them.
"Lu Dashan Erchengzi, you two go down to the bottom of the mountain and make some noise for the little devils to make them think that the two of us didn't go up the mountain." After a while, Du Man came up with a solution.
It's just that Shang Zhen felt even more regretful as soon as his method came out, but he didn't have any other method.
The method used by Du Man was also used by Shang Zhen. This was a way to attract the enemy's attention by moving the disaster eastward.
Shang Zhen tried his best to rescue the two soldiers of the Northeast Army, but the rescue was not smooth. Now he needs two more people to rescue him. You said this makes Shang Zhen, who has always been very careful, feel worried. How can I be complacent?
"I'll follow you!" Shang Zhen said to make up for his inner guilt.
But he didn't expect that before Du Man could answer, a soldier said, "Do I still need you for such a trivial matter? It's okay! The two of us can handle it easily, so just hold on!"
The two soldiers asked for the rope, and naturally someone was pulling on it. The two of them were about to climb down the mountain, and then Shang Zhen whispered: "Do you need to take off your sword?"
When Shang Zhen said this, Du Man said "Oh!" and said hurriedly: "Yes, you can't take your sword with you!"
The two soldiers took off the swords from their backs and left them behind.
As for why the two soldiers couldn't go down with their swords, Shang Zhen didn't say anything, nor did Du Man, but everyone knew it.
The soldiers that the Japanese army was chasing could be soldiers from the Northeast Army. If something happened to these two soldiers, and the Japanese army discovered that these two soldiers carrying swords on their backs were members of the Northwest Army, they would inevitably have some associations.
It's not easy to fight the Japanese.
Although some people say that big things don't stick to the details, but there is an antonym for this sentence, which is that details determine success or failure, right?
