The flashlight covered with cloth gave off a faint light. The cloth was not covered in one or two layers, so the light was very dim. Looking from a distance to Shang Zhen at the foot of the mountain, the light looked like a will-o'-the-wisp.
And that group of light began to come down the mountain, and it was pursuing the direction that Shang Zhen and the others had gone down the mountain.
After thinking about it, Shang Zhen turned off the safety of his box gun.
He can't shoot just yet, for two reasons.
First, he couldn't figure out who the person who came up the mountain in the middle of the night was.
If the other party is from the Northeast Army, even if the other party comes to arrest them, Shang Zhen will never shoot at his own people.
Second, even if the opponent was the military commander Shang Zhen, he didn't want to shoot. He didn't care about killing some military commanders, but he was afraid that his position would be exposed after he fired. Leng Xiaozhi, who doesn't know where he is hiding, comes to find him again, and Leng Xiaozhi may be in danger.
Yes, Shang Zhen came to Leng Xiaozhi alone, and he asked the others to retreat to the mountains.
Shang Zhen couldn't figure out why Leng Xiaozhi didn't follow.
When Li Yajuan found out that Leng Xiaozhi had not followed, Shang Zhen and the others reconfirmed, right? Everyone responded, except Leng Xiaozhi!
Regardless of what considerations? , Shang Zhen never wanted anything to happen to Leng Xiaozhi, but it was useless to look for Leng Xiaozhi if there were too many people around, so he had no choice but to find Leng Xiaozhi on his own.
Shang Zhen waited quietly, looking at the dim halo. Slowly coming down the mountain, there is no doubt that the place illuminated by the halo is the footprints Shang Zhen and the others left on the snow.
Shang Zhen started groping on the snow to find out whether the other party was from the military command or the Northeast Army. He needed to determine the identity of the other party.
After a while, Shang Zhen didn't touch any stones.
It was so cold and cold that even the stones were frozen to the ground. However, he touched a few dead branches and weighed them with his hands. They still had some weight, so he held the pants with his right hand and took out a grenade with his left hand. , wait again.
The sound of Xixisusuo was approaching, it was the other party touching her.
It's just that the group obviously didn't want to brighten the beam and invite shooting in the darkness, but Shang Zhen came back in a circle, not at the original footprints, and the other party didn't notice him.
By this time, Shang Zhen had basically figured out one problem, that is, the other party should be a member of the military commander.
Only those who work as agents would be so careful, even when arresting people, they would act like thieves.
If the other party were members of the Northeast Army and came to arrest them, these people would definitely not be so cautious. They would definitely light up the lights and conduct a large-scale search.
However, in order to prevent accidental injury, Shang Zhen finally threw out the dead branch in his hand when the opponent was still thirty or forty meters away from him.
The dead branch must have weighed two or three kilograms, and it was quite painful to hit someone on the head. Unsurprisingly, when Shang Zhen threw the dead branch, he heard someone shout "Ah", and then he fell down. A thumping sound on the ground.
But Shang Zhen only threw out a few dead branches, and he made no next move.
After waiting for a while, the group of people saw no abnormality before someone spoke. It didn't matter what they said, but Shang Zhen heard that the other person's voice was definitely not a pure Northeastern or Shandong accent.
People in the Northeast Army basically speak with a Northeastern accent and some Shandong accents. The reason is that many of their parents came from Shandong to Guandong. They will naturally follow their parents' accents as they grow up, so they do not have Shandong accents. Not surprising, but very few Northeasterners have southern accents.
Based on the behavior of this group of people and their accent, Shang Zhen could be sure that the other party was from the military command.
So why are Shang Zhen so polite?
He fumbled and pulled out the pin from the grenade, knocked the brass cap of the grenade on the gun handle of his box, and then threw the grenade out.
On the one hand, Shang Zhen left himself behind to look for Leng Xiaozhi; on the other hand, he also had the role of cutting off the rear for his group.
After a moment, the tranquility between heaven and earth was broken. The grenade exploded. At the same time, the group of people who were attacked screamed, and the dim halo fell to the snow.
Shang Zhen just ignored it, and then he took out the second grenade.
Shang Zhen, who has experienced night fighting, knows that the most ideal weapon in the dark is grenades.
Because once you shoot, your position will be revealed, but grenades are different. By the time someone discovers that a grenade has been thrown around, it will be too late even if the direction of the throw is discovered. The grenade will definitely knock the person down.
Therefore, grenades in the dark are imaginary and disasters fall from the sky. No one knows where the attacker is hiding.
Shang Zhen pulled out the pin from the second grenade and still held it in his hand.
He didn't mind throwing out the second grenade, he was just waiting for the other party's reaction.
Since Shang Zhen knew the role of grenades in night battles, he asked for two more grenades from his soldiers before they all came back.
"Pop", "Pap" and "Pap" were heard. They were fired by the military commander who was attacked by Shang Zhen. To Shang Zhen's surprise, the gunshots sounded mostly from pistols.
And the pistol is not a box gun, but actually a gun type.
Only military commanders would use this small pistol.
At best, small pistols can only be regarded as self-defense weapons, and their effective range generally does not exceed fifty meters.
The box cannon is not.
The box gun is positioned to be used on the battlefield. In its origin in Germany, the box gun is called a combat pistol.
If the box gun is used with its wooden shell or leather shell as the butt, the effective range can reach one to two hundred meters. Of course, this is also related to the shooting level of the shooter.
Shang Zhen ignored the indiscriminate shooting of military agents.
At first when it was dark, Shang Zhen and others lit a bonfire. At that time, they were under the control of the Ming army and they were among the attacked.
But now that the military commander has brought out the light of the flashlight, it will be dark when the military commander is bright and Shang Zhen is bright.
He was waiting in front in advance, so he found a hiding place for himself. There was a stone in front of him, and he was not afraid of being injured by the military commander's stray bullets.
What Shang Zhen cares about is not the other party's shooting, but whether the other party will shine again and continue to pursue them along the footprints they left before.
Facts have proved that the military commander's combat effectiveness is still not comparable to that of the troops. After Shang Zhen's grenade exploded, some people were moaning and screaming. They were injured by the grenade.
After waiting for a while, the gunfire stopped, and Zhang Zhen saw another flash of light. It was someone striking a match or using a lighter.
You can shoot, but you can't make light!
Shang Zhen decided to give the other party something harsh.
So after he smashed the fuse of the grenade in his hand open again, he held the grenade in his hand for a moment before throwing it out.
Although he couldn't see anything in the night, as expected, Shang Zhen also knew that the grenade exploded before it hit the ground.
Then with the sound of "boom", the screams from the opposite side became loud again.
And these are only those who were injured, as for those who were directly killed by shrapnel, there will definitely be no less!
Shang Zhen never doubted the explosive power of the grenade's air blast.
But at the same time, after experiencing so many battles, Shang Zhen helplessly discovered the fact that killing enemies is also addictive.
Once you get used to air blasting with hand grenades, you will never think of killing only three or four enemies at a time even though one grenade can kill ten enemies. However, air blasting is risky.
When discussing tactics, instructor Hao Zhenglong once reminded Shang Zhen that although your move is good, you should not use it when you are desperate. Can you guarantee that the grenade will not explode in your hands? Or does the grenade explode as soon as you throw it out?
It must be said that Hao Zhenglong's reminder was reasonable. Shang Zhen had already decided to use air blasts as little as possible, but this time he couldn't help but use them again.
Shang Zhen crawled back slowly. He estimated that the other party would never dare to use light this time. At the same time, he felt a little regretful that he had used air blast again.
