"Er Hanzi, Guan Tiedou, and three more who use rifles!
When the devils in the woods shoot, give them something hard!
Others run forward with me, so be careful! "Shang Zhen ordered under the cover of a ridge.
The ridge was only as high as the knee, so Shang Zhen and the others could only crawl forward.
But even so, when they climbed forward more than 20 meters, the ridge was gone, and the advantageous location was already occupied by the Japanese army in the woods. There is no way, who tells people to be fast?
"Qian Chuan'er, Chen Hanwen, and Old Uncle Wang take cover, and the others rush behind the firewood pile!" Shang Zhen ordered again, but he himself stayed behind.
Don't look at the fact that there are not many Japanese cavalry, only about ten people.
But this Japanese army is also very cunning. It was obvious that they had just seen the Japanese cavalry that was ambushed by them. They abandoned their horses and hid in the dark. If Shang Zhen and the others wanted to retreat far away, they would have to risk having people behind them. Risk of shooting!
"Get ready, fight!" Shang Zhen shouted. He, Qian Chuan, Wang Laomao, and Chen Hanwen all leaned out from behind the ridge at the same time, and the flower opportunity in their hands rang "he, he, he". Others got up and ran forward desperately
The woods were more than a hundred meters away from them.
The woods where the Japanese troops were hiding were much more ideal than their ridge. Shang Zhen and the others didn't even see where the Japanese troops were hiding.
However, in order to cover most of the people running to the west, they had to fire their guns first to distract the Japanese troops in the woods. Otherwise, the other people who had now rushed to the open ground would become a living target for the Japanese troops!
Speaking of which, there were four people covering him, and five people were arranged to cover him in front. There were quite a lot of people covering him, nearly one-third of them.
But Shang Zhen felt that it would take a while for the Japanese army to catch up. Of course he didn't want anyone on his side to be injured or killed. There were only about thirty people in his group, so lives were precious!
Many people think that they are junior officers, so whoever can be a battalion commander should be a company commander, and whoever can be a brigade commander should be a regiment commander.
But Shang Zhen didn't think so. He was annoyed that he had a high official position. Now, even if there were thirty people with the title of company commander, he still felt that there were too many people.
The reason is that Shang Zhen is soft-hearted and he does not want to see anyone on his end being injured or killed.
We all play together like brothers every day, but whenever one of them is killed in battle, he will feel a flash in his heart.
He understood that he would not be able to fight the Japanese alone without a partner, but when there were more people, it would be too difficult for him to save everyone's lives!
Sure enough, as soon as Shang Zhen's gunfire rang out, the gunfire rang out in the woods opposite.
Although some bullets from the Japanese army hit the ridge in front of Shang Zhen and others, there were also bullets that hit the backs of the feet of many soldiers who were running westward.
Qiu Bo felt a bullet flying past him with a "swish" sound. That was when he was almost hit by the Japanese army.
Qiu Bo was also a veteran. The moment he realized the bullets were flying by, his heart suddenly moved and he shouted, "Lie down, turn around and shoot!"
To be honest, everyone knew that if they ran like this, someone would inevitably get shot, so when Qiu Bo shouted, everyone was really "shuddered" and fell to the ground.
At this moment, bullets flew past their bodies.
This is because they were lying down. If they hadn't been lying down, there wouldn't have been too many people shot, there would always have been three or four!
At this moment, the machine guns of Er Hanzi and Guan Tiedou on the other side of the ridge and the rifles of the three soldiers also rang.
Why did Shang Zhen leave those five people on the other side of the ridge? That was to wait for the Japanese troops to show up in the woods!
Even though Shang Zhen's decision only happened in a split second, he had already thought about it from the psychological perspective of the Japanese army.
From the perspective of the Japanese army, their Chinese army does not have many people. The Japanese army behind them will surely catch up soon. So why don’t the Chinese army flee desperately?
Shang Zhen took advantage of this mentality of the Japanese army and left Guan Tiedou and the other five people on the other side of the ridge.
When the Japanese soldiers in the woods saw them rushing out from one end of the ridge, they naturally did not expect that there was someone hiding at the "entrance" end of the ridge.
Shang Zhen and the others opened fire at the "exit" of the ridge to cover. In fact, they were shooting blindly, in order to increase the deterrence of the Japanese troops in the woods.
This situation is like when the troops break through, the machine gunner will hold the machine gun in both hands and rush out while shooting.
But at that time, it was impossible to say that the machine gunner could hit the bullet accurately!
How can a machine gun be so easy to shoot? If the machine gun is so easy to shoot, why do you need the legs under the machine gun?
The purpose of picking up a gun and shooting is to break out of the encirclement and create a psychological deterrent to the enemies surrounding you.
But Erhanzi Guan Tiedou and the other five people were different.
They also knew the reason why Shang Zhen left them there. Wasn't it just waiting for the Japanese army to show up?
How about not saying that the quality of soldiers is very important, but veterans are very valuable?
The situation was so urgent that Shang Zhen couldn't explain his purpose of leaving the five of them so clearly. It was up to the five of them to figure it out on their own.
Qualified soldiers are naturally not afraid of death, but soldiers who are not afraid of death may not be qualified!
Erganzi, who has experienced many battles, is also a veteran.
So when the Japanese soldiers in the woods started shooting at Shang Zhen and others to expose their bodies.
Erhanzi shouted "hit" in a muffled voice, and their two light machine guns and three rifles rang out at the same time.
The enemy and we are more than 100 meters apart. The Japanese army can shoot their guns very accurately. What's the difference between machine gunners and riflemen like Erhanzi Guan Tiedou and others? What's more, they have gone through nearly a year of special training.
Therefore, as soon as Erhanzi's machine guns and rifles fired, the gunfire of the Japanese soldiers in the woods became sparse. There were not many Japanese soldiers, but there were not as many as them!
At this time, Qiu Bo and the others also fired their guns.
The power of a uniform flower machine when fired is different from that of a platoon gun fired by a rifle.
Just listening to the gunshots of "he, he, he," and "thud, thud, thud, thug", the woods where the Japanese troops were hiding were immediately beaten into a mess of fallen leaves!
"Let's go, retreat quickly!" Shang Zhen shouted.
This time Shang Zhen and the others really put away their guns and started running west.
I don't know how many of the Japanese soldiers in the woods were killed by them, or the few that were left were probably frightened. After all, no bullets flew from behind their butts.
After running forward for a while, Shang Zhen reached a high point and looked back. He saw that the Japanese army had already passed the woods, but they all stayed on the road.
Since it was still a little far away from them, it looked like a long yellow worm from a distance.
"Stop!" Shang Zhen said.
He began to observe the movements of the Japanese army again, and saw that the Japanese army was about the same number, less than a thousand people. It should be a large group, with a carriage pulling baggage behind it.
At this time, a Japanese army separated from the brigade. It seemed that a squadron of troops was coming in this direction.
Although Shang Zhen had made a sudden reconnaissance on the road before, he only ran back after meeting the Japanese army. Only then did he know how many troops this Japanese army had.
"That's all we can do. After all, we have too few people. It would be great if we could pull out a squadron.
"Xiaohu, go back and report to Commander Lu that the Japanese army has arrived. We have lured away a Japanese squadron. We don't know how long we can delay it!" Shang Zhen ordered.
Xiaohu is his newly appointed correspondent.
Originally, he wanted Little Dustpan to do it, but Little Dustpan was not willing to do it. Little Dustpan was a veteran, so how could he enjoy a rough job like going to the battlefield to fight against Japanese soldiers?
