Shang Zhen took advantage of the cover of the terrain and started running again, targeting the remaining two Japanese cavalry.
It seems that they really annoyed the Japanese army. The only five Japanese cavalrymen left were sent out by the Japanese army again.
The five Japanese cavalrymen and their horses were running separately on the flat land of the central Hebei plain. It was obvious that the Japanese army needed to use these cavalrymen to capture Shang Zhen's position.
But Shang Zhen also needed to attract the attention of the Japanese squadron that was catching up by killing these Japanese cavalry.
There were two Japanese cavalry on his side, and the three Japanese cavalry were left to Wang Laomao and the others.
Shang Zhen saw the Japanese cavalry chasing them through his binoculars, so he still had a little time to ambush the route where the two Japanese soldiers were running.
This time Shang Zhen sprinted at a speed of 100 meters. When he fell into a bush, he gasped for air. The breath seemed to make the grass in front of his face move!
Just as his breathing stabilized a little, he faintly heard the sound of hooves from Japanese war horses approaching.
Thank you for using the flower trap.
Shang Zhen immediately pulled the bolt of the gun and raised the flower mechanism.
The reason why he was lucky was because the flower machine used short bursts of fire and long bursts to kill enemies, and it did not require high accuracy in shooting.
If he were to use a rifle to hit Japanese war horses now, the severe breathing would be enough to affect his shooting accuracy.
Shang Zhen raised his head in the bushes, and then he saw the two Japanese cavalry about a hundred meters away from him.
That was all he could do. Originally, he thought that the two Japanese cavalrymen would run past his position, but unexpectedly, they turned their heads and deviated a little further.
Shang Zhen took a deep breath, stood up from the wormwood bushes, and then the flower machine started ringing "he, he, he".
The first short burst of fire all hit the first war horse. The horse fell to the ground, and the Japanese soldiers on top shot out from the horse's back with bared teeth.
At this time, the second Japanese soldier undoubtedly saw her, Shang Zhen, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who said he was a cavalry?
The flower mechanism in Shang Zhen's hand rang again. This time Shang Zhen hit it accurately. The cavalryman fell directly from the horse, but the horse was still running forward.
At this time, Shang Zhen heard gunfire from behind. It was Wang Laomao and the others who were also shooting at the remaining three Japanese cavalry.
Shang Zhen ignored the Japanese cavalryman who fell off his horse. He had no time to shoot the Japanese soldier again.
I hope that the Japanese soldier fell unconscious and would not shoot him with a horse rifle again.
Shang Zhen took advantage of the cover of the terrain and began to retreat. A few minutes later, Shang Zhen and others gathered together again. Under the leadership of Shang Zhen, they then retreated westward.
After this pause, the Japanese army got closer, but fortunately the Japanese cavalry was finally defeated. Otherwise, if Shang Zhen and the others were followed by those few sporadic Japanese cavalry, they would really be in trouble.
Ten minutes later, Shang Zhen led his men to a high point, and then he asked the team to stop.
"Are you tired?" Shang Zhen asked.
If it were replaced by a well-trained regular army, the answer would definitely be "not tired!" As the saying goes, "tired" and "not tired"!
But when it comes to Shang Zhen and others, their answers are mixed!
Just because some people answered "tired" and some people answered "not tired". Those who answered "not tired" were the ones who joined later, and those who answered "tired" were the veterans who had been following Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen didn't take this too seriously. He then asked, "Are we still going to fight the Japanese?"
"Hit!" The voice of the answer this time was very consistent, and both the old man and the new man answered happily.
"I tell you not to use your traps and disobey me. You won't be able to reach me this time, right?" Shang Zhen expressed helplessness, and then ordered: "Point the machine gun at the little devils and shoot them!"
When Shang Zhen said this, everyone in the flower trap was dumbfounded.
Now the Japanese army is still one mile away from them. At this distance, the flower trap cannot hit them at all, so they can only use machine guns and rifles.
After Hao Zhengshan's special training for them, Shang Zhen and the others finally understood that when shooting from a distance with a rifle, they should raise the muzzle slightly upward.
As for how much to lift, that depends on shooting experience.
However, none of them, including Shang Zhen, can say that they can kill the enemy with one shot within 500 meters. But it doesn’t matter, they don’t have many people. Their large number is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Japanese army does not have many people. ?
Anyway, they just want to drag this group of Japanese soldiers away, so as long as they kill three more people, won't they be able to drag this Japanese squadron for a while?
Those with rifles and those with machine guns all set up their guns, and they all aimed at the Japanese troops more than 500 meters away. At Shang Zhen's order, gunshots rang out.
"Okay, okay, keep running to the west!" Shang Zhen put away the telescope and ordered again, so they ran to the west again.
"How many of them were killed just now?" Xiao Dustpan asked curiously as he followed Shang Zhen.
While the gun was being fired, Shang Zhen was watching with binoculars.
"There are only two in total." Shang Zhen was also very sorry.
As everyone spoke, they accelerated their marching speed.
However, it was obvious that the Japanese army behind them had been completely angered by them, and the Japanese army was chasing them very closely. At this time, the results of Shang Zhen's training over the past year were reflected.
As for their ability to march long distances, it cannot be said that they will definitely surpass the Japanese army, at least they will not lose to the Japanese army.
They ran in front, and the Japanese army chased behind them. More than an hour passed like this, and the distance between the Japanese army and them was still more than one mile.
I just ran forward for a while, and a village appeared in front of me again.
"Go around!" Shang Zhen ordered.
"Our speed will slow down when we go around the village." Old Mao Wang reminded.
Shang Zhen nodded.
Even without Mr. Wang’s reminder, Shang Zhen certainly knew that they would draw a circle as soon as they passed around the village, and the Japanese army was still walking a straight path, so wouldn’t the Japanese army be getting closer and closer?
But no matter what? Shang Zhen would never lead the Japanese army through the village. With the ferocity of the Japanese army, they might kill the people in the village as soon as they passed by.
Although it was not explicitly mentioned, Shang Zhen also believed from the bottom of his heart that the army was used to protect the people, not to harm them.
Of course, Mr. Wang also understood what Shang Zhen was thinking. He had no intention of passing through the middle of the village. He was just reminding Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen and the others are running on the road now.
There is no way, there is a large population on the Jizhong Plain. If this is a mountainous area, then the Japanese army has no choice in chasing them. The terrain is the same for both sides.
But things were different in the plains. If Shang Zhen and the others were not running on the road, but running in the fields, the Japanese army would have been able to chase them through the roads much faster than they could have run in the fields.
Unless they completely disappeared from the sight of the Japanese army, but if they disappeared from the sight of the Japanese army, this would be contrary to Shang Zhen's original intention of this battle.
