At this time, Shang Zhen and most of the people were hiding in the woods beside the road.
Although Shang Zhen and the others had been running around all day and night without rest yesterday, the battle with this group of Japanese troops had already reached this point, but Shang Zhen still wanted to expand the results.
When both the enemy and ourselves are exhausted, so-called killing him while he is sick, Shang Zhen will never give up this opportunity to torture the Japanese army like this.
In other words, both the enemy and ourselves are very tired, but as long as they hold on, it will certainly be easier to kill the enemy this time than when the Japanese soldiers are stronger.
Shang Zhen looked at the deserted road and said apologetically to Guo Baoyou, who was next to him: "After this battle is over, we will help you deal with things in the village."
Of course there is a reason why Shang Zhen said this.
They were not familiar with the roads here, and they wanted to ambush the Japanese soldiers who escaped from the village, so they naturally needed Guo Baoyou as a guide.
In this way, it would be impossible for Guo Baoyou to go to the village to bury the villagers killed by the Japanese army.
"Without me, the dead would still be buried. I will take revenge. There are others in the village who ran away." Guo Baoyou answered with his head lowered. He was playing with a flower trap. The flower trap originally belonged to Wang Dali. of
"Hey, I said the pot buns are full of meat, don't just sit around and let them go wrong again!" Qian Chuan'er said next to him.
"I'm not a pot of meat!" Guo Baoyou protested loudly.
Guo Baoyou and Shang Zhen only spent a little more than one night together, but who gave him such a name? Qian Chuan'er immediately gave him a nickname.
"You're not a pot dumpling, but you're still a pot sticker. If you want to hang out with us, just listen to us, or hand the gun back to me!" Qian Chuan'er said angrily.
Guo Baoyou fell silent and stopped playing with the flower trap.
Just when Shang Zhen was about to say something, they suddenly heard gunfire from ahead.
They were waiting to ambush the retreating Japanese army, so their front point pointed to the west, which was the direction in which the Japanese army retreated.
Last night they used the firelight in the village to shoot at the Japanese troops, but they did not rush into the village.
That's because Shang Zhen didn't want his own people to suffer casualties in such a complicated battle situation.
So after the shooting he divided the work again.
Hou Kanshan was asked to take a few people to search for the remnants of the enemy at dawn. Presumably, the Japanese army had already withdrawn by then, and they headed east under the leadership of Guo Baoyou. Naturally, this was to lay an ambush for the Japanese army.
According to common sense, Guo Baoyou was a local. He must be more familiar with the road conditions here than the Japanese army, so they could only catch up with the Japanese army instead of falling behind.
In order to lay an ambush for the Japanese army, they were naturally facing the direction of the Japanese army, and the back became the front again.
However, why suddenly there was gunfire in front of us. At present, it seems that there are only Chinese troops and Japanese troops in the nearby area!
Now is the stage when the Japanese army is attacking cities and plundering territory. The Japanese army is grabbing strategic areas. If they hadn't led the Japanese army in this direction, how could the Japanese army have come over?
So what's going on with that gunshot?
Could it be that the little devils have started massacring the village again? Thinking of this, Shang Zhen felt a rush of ice cream.
Ever since Liu Jianao was massacred by the Japanese army last night, Shang Zhen has acted very calmly, but this does not mean that he is not angry in his heart. He also has emotions and desires, but he is also an officer now, and he just does not want to be a soldier. Just show it in front of you.
Shang Zhen thought nervously while listening to the gunfire, but then he realized that his judgment was wrong. The Japanese army should not be massacring the village. The reason was that he actually heard the firing of the box cannon.
A veteran like him can already tell the type of gun without looking at it. Among the chaotic gunfire, there is the sound of box cannon firing continuously.
If the Japanese army started to massacre the village, there would be no gunshots from box cannons. How could the Japanese army use box cannons? At least Shang Zhen had never seen the Japanese army use box cannons, and the only ones chasing them this time were the Japanese army. Without the puppet army, where would the box artillery come from?
"Go over and take a look!" Shang Zhen gritted his teeth and said.
Now that Shang Zhen had given the order, everyone stood up, but Shang Zhen just took a few steps towards the road but stopped again.
"What's wrong, boss?" Qian Chuan'er asked.
"You don't feel that the gunfire is getting closer!" Shang Zhen replied.
When Shang Zhen said this, all the soldiers listened with their ears pricked up.
That’s not what it is! The sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer, especially the "pop-pop-pop" sound of the box cannon.
"Hidden, prepare to fight!" Shang Zhen shouted.
So they all lurked in the woods on the roadside.
Only after a while, they saw a carriage coming into view around the cornfield in front of them.
Even without asking, Shang Zhen and the others knew that the carriage must not belong to the Japanese army. When the Japanese army chased them yesterday, they did have cavalry, but they had all been wiped out.
Shang Zhen raised the telescope and adjusted the focus. This time he could see clearly.
He saw that the man driving the carriage in front of him was a man dressed as a farmer, who was constantly hitting the horse's butt with the butt of a rifle. There were several sacks on the carriage. Judging from the contents, they should be square. .
But that's all, there were still two people on the carriage.
One person was already lying on the carriage and was jolting with the bumps of the carriage. He was probably seriously injured if not dead. The other person was sitting on the carriage and was shooting at the back with a box cannon.
Shang Zhen looked through the telescope into the distance again, and then the Japanese army appeared.
It stands to reason that a human's two legs cannot outrun a horse's four legs, but the horse did not run very fast. Shang Zhen guessed that the horse was injured.
This time, Shang Zhen chose the ambush location not far from the road.
This is because he felt that the Japanese army was at the end of its war effort, and he wanted to use the automatic weapons in the hands of his men to give the Japanese army a hard blow.
Soon, the carriage came closer and closer, so close that Shang Zhen could no longer use his telescope. However, when he came here, he was surprised to find that the person behind the carriage who kept shooting at the Japanese troops turned out to be a woman!
Although the woman also had short hair, how could the ear-length hair be the same as the man's short hair?
Forget it, no matter who the people in this carriage are, since they are fighting the Japanese army, they are one of our own, and this carriage just leads the Japanese army into the ambush circle of our own people. This is a rare opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
"Get ready to fight. Let's wait until the little devil rushes forward and then we shoot!" Shang Zhen ordered again.
Everyone hid in the woods.
Qian Chuan'er started to show Guo Baoyou how to use the flower trap: "Look, it's not difficult to shoot this gun, but you can't pull the trigger all the way. In that case, no matter how many rounds of bullets you have, it won't be enough for you."
While Qian Chuan'er was explaining, the carriage had already run onto the road in front of them.
But at this moment, an accident happened. The horse, which was running slower and slower, suddenly screamed, staggered a few steps, and fell directly onto the road!
It turned out that the horse had really been injured by the Japanese army, and the injury was not serious. Otherwise, if the horse was injured, it would not run slower and slower, it would definitely be frightened and then run wildly.
However, as soon as the horse fell down, the carriage collapsed, and the two living people on the carriage were caught off guard and fell off the carriage.
Of course, the motionless man lying on the carriage also fell off the carriage, but he couldn't use the word "caught off guard" because he was really killed.
As soon as the carriage lay down, the sacks on the carriage slipped out. Obviously, the contents inside were definitely not light.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen was once again surprised to find that the woman climbing up from the lying carriage looked familiar to him, and he immediately realized it.
That woman turned out to be Gao Huaide, the daughter-in-law of Lu Cao, the leader of the 691st Regiment!
