"Commander, look where they are!" An officer on the hillside pointed forward.
And right next to this officer, another officer was observing with a telescope. There were dense Chinese soldiers lying in ambush beside the two of them.
Although the firearms in the hands of these soldiers were only mediocre, the swords stuck in each of their backs already indicated their identities - the 29th Army, the Northwest Army responsible for guarding Xifengkou.
The 29th Army was poor. As Mr. Wang said, they didn't even have bayonets.
But battles always have to be fought, so each of them was equipped with a big sword.
How good is the quality of the broadsword? For example, it's all nonsense to talk about magic weapons made of high-quality iron.
The broadsword of the 29th Army is strong because its back is thick enough.
Can a butcher's knife be as sharp as an ax for chopping things? That's impossible, each has its own use. From the perspective of thickness, the 29th Army's broadsword is similar to an axe.
The broadsword team of the 29th Army is not as sharp as the Japanese bayonets. But if you can stab me to death with one strike of your sword, I can definitely take off your half-stretched arm with one swing of my sword!
"We don't have many people. We seem to be being chased." The officer said again.
The regimental commander next to him said nothing. In the telescope, there were hurried figures of Chinese soldiers in gray cloth clothes running away.
He saw the broadsword on the back of one of the soldiers and frowned.
Compared with the armies of other factions, the 29th Army is very poor, but people who are poor cannot be short-term. How does this make Japan look like a rabbit?
He moved the binoculars and looked ahead, casually seeing the Japanese army behind them, which looked like thirty or forty people.
Only thirty or forty people? The captain looked through the telescope into the distance again.
This is a mountainous area, with tall and short mountains blocking his view after all.
"Captain, should we send someone to respond?" the officer next to him suggested again.
The personalities of the commanders of each army may not be the same. The commander is usually a taciturn person.
The officer who thought he knew the regiment leader very well, saw that the regiment leader remained silent, so he thought it was acquiescence.
So he started to call the messenger, but when he just called "Come", the regiment leader suddenly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about them, let our people pay attention to hiding and ambush on both sides of the road. We must be able to carry them at the critical moment." Charge forward with a machete!"
The regimental commander's order was so strange that his subordinate officer was stunned for a moment.
He couldn't understand what his regimental leader meant. Should he ask the entire regiment to use machetes to deal with his own men who were being chased by the Japanese army?
"Hurry up, be quick, and be sure to stay hidden!" the regiment leader ordered loudly, and his subordinates acted vigorously and resolutely.
The subordinate officer who had been following him hid behind a stone and looked into the distance in confusion. There was nothing in the distance except mountains. However, at this time he discovered that the team being chased had spread out on both sides of the road.
"I suspect there is a Japanese brigade behind. Those Japanese Japs chasing behind may be the top soldiers. This is a bit troublesome!" Only then did the regiment leader reveal his intention.
Only then did his officers suddenly realize.
Their regiment was ordered to move forward to seize a military point.
While they were marching, they heard gunfire from this end, so after arriving at this favorable terrain, the regiment leader ordered the troops to hide among the rocks on both sides of the road, and he began to observe the situation, so he With the series of situations just now.
What he was worried about now was whether the dozens of Japanese soldiers chasing after him would find him ambushing soldiers on both sides of the road if they were the top soldiers of the Japanese army.
"Li Xianqian, send a squad down to secretly help our people below to see if we can kill the Japs' leading soldiers." A moment later, the regiment leader gave another order.
At this moment, the leader suddenly realized that the team being chased by the Japanese army could really be of great use!
He didn't send many people.
If the leading soldiers of the Japanese army are eliminated, the Japanese soldiers behind them can only think that the object they are chasing is very powerful.
The Japanese army never imagined that those people had become bait, but in fact they had already slipped into their own ambush.
And what is happening to the group of soldiers below who are being chased by the Japanese army at this time?
That group of people was Shang Zhen and the others who had been chased here by the Japanese army.
Mr. Wang was breathing heavily while hiding behind a big rock. They had been hiding behind a rock on the side of the road for a while, but then he regained his breath and could speak: "Fuck me, if I keep running like this , can make us run away and vomit blood!"
The fist is afraid of young people, and the stick is afraid of old wolf.
To be honest, Wang Laomao never ran like this when he was young, not to mention that he is already over forty this year.
The Japanese army was chasing after them, forcing them to run all the way in front.
Now, Old Man Wang knew that the Japanese troops were chasing him, but he didn't even intend to turn around and shoot because he felt that he was out of breath and couldn't even shoot accurately!
Old Mao Wang couldn't run anymore. When he let him go, everyone else found a place to lean on the back of large and small rocks to catch their breath. Naturally, these others included people from the 29th Army like Du Man. .
The people of the 29th Army are good at martial arts. It is said that the 29th Army specially hired famous martial arts masters to teach them how to use the sword.
Anyone who can wield a sword is also someone who knows martial arts. Can the 29th Army have poor physical strength? But even these young people in the 29th Army were very tired.
"I think they must have picked out the best runner." Little Dustpan also said.
That's it, Du Man and the others, people like Wang Laomao, Chen Hanwen, Ma Erhuzi and others are all looking at Shang Zhen.
Now that Shang Zhen is back, naturally Shang Zhen is the leader, let's see what Shang Zhen does?
Shang Zhen hid behind the stone, breathing heavily and looking behind him.
It was also the first time for Shang Zhen to experience such a march. In other words, this was not a march at all. It was like a 100-meter race.
It would only be enough to run a hundred meters, but they ran as hard as they could for several miles.
Just imagine running a thousand or two thousand meters at the speed of running a hundred meters. Who can bear it? No matter how physically fit you are, you can still stretch your hips while running.
At this time, the Japanese troops chasing them behind were no longer the top soldiers of the previous Japanese troops.
Naturally, Shang Zhen would not believe that the Japanese army would pick out those who could run and use them to chase them.
But Shang Zhen could imagine that the Japanese army behind them was probably coming to chase them all.
If there are 1,000 Japanese troops behind, then why aren’t there dozens or hundreds of people among the 1,000 who can run fast?
Didn’t the Japanese army offer a reward? Do they have to be arrested alive?
And what do I think of this group of people? That is definitely not elite. Perhaps as that Fatty Wang said, his group is the broom star, and a group of them has become the elite broom star, and that's it!
But sighs are sighs, and what should be faced must be faced.
Shang Zhen saw the Japanese soldiers chasing him appear again, and this time the distance between the enemy and us was still about 200 meters.
Even though the Japanese army was chasing them very closely, when they saw that there was no one on the road, they guessed that they should be hiding behind the stones on the roadside, so they also slowed down their pursuit.
Shang Zhen turned around again to look at the direction he was going.
When they got here, the terrain had changed. The two sides of the road were no longer hard-to-climb rocks, but turned into gentle slopes. Just in front of them, both sides of the road turned into large and small stones.
It's just that Shang Zhen was not foresight, but he didn't know that there were thousands of soldiers of the 29th Army hiding behind the rocks on the hillsides on both sides.
When Shang Zhen turned back from the right and looked towards the lowest point, he saw thirty or forty Japanese soldiers pursuing him.
"Fuck him!" Shang Zhen felt that his breath had calmed down a little, and he blurted out involuntarily.
"Okay!" Du Man agreed.
To be honest, Shang Zhen was also chased by the Japanese army. He was so breathless that he blurted out such a sentence.
Of course there was a large Japanese army behind those thirty or forty Japanese soldiers. As they ran all the way, the large Japanese army should have been thrown away for some distance.
Then it is not impossible for people like me to stage a short ambush for these "tails" who are chasing after them, and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.
"Check the guns and ammunition to see how many bullets are left. We really need to fight.
After the fight, let's run to the stone formations in front and do the rest as we like! "Shang Zhen's words already had a tone of breaking a jar.
He knew he couldn't keep running like this. If he kept running like this, people like him would really be chased by the Japanese army and vomit blood!
