"Come on! Let's see if there are any cannons and grab them back!" Little Dustpan said excitedly.
The little dustpan certainly has reason to be excited.
It turned out that the defeated troops on the road had no fighting spirit and became chaotic under the harassment of the Japanese army.
It was only when they took the lead in shooting at the Japanese troops that the fighting spirit of the Chinese officers and soldiers was aroused, and then hundreds of thousands of people fired the triggers at the woods.
Although Shang Zhen and the others were all veterans, none of them had ever seen such a spectacular scene.
After all, in any battle, so many soldiers would never gather together and fire their guns together!
Little Dustpan yelled like this, and the others rushed towards the woods with guns in hand.
Shang Zhen had said before that he would seize some more Japanese grenade launchers or grenades, so there was nothing wrong with Xiao Dustpan saying "Hurry up".
However, Mr. Wang shouted "Be careful to cover each other", and the soldiers were divided into two groups. One group ran forward, and the other group followed closely behind.
Wang Laomao glanced at Shang Zhen and saw that Shang Zhen didn't stop him, so he followed suit.
But for some reason, a word that his ancestors once said popped up in his mind: "No one can enter the forest"!
But after all, this sentence only flashed through Mr. Wang's mind.
Although on the Songhu battlefield, the Sixty-seventh Army, which was tasked with blocking the battle, fought fiercely, after all, Shang Zhen and his group did not suffer many casualties.
People are lazy and cannot be vigilant all the time. What's more, if you are always cautious, then don't fight.
Xiao Dustpan and the others who were running at the front stopped after running more than a hundred meters. They squatted forward and aimed forward, ready to shoot at any time. At this time, Shang Zhen and the others passed Xiao Dustpan again with guns in hand. Dustpan them.
It was already early November, and the leaves in that forest ranged from yellow to green, and there were thick or sparse wormwood in the forest. If the Japanese soldiers were hiding in it, it would be difficult to detect them.
Under the cross-coverage of the two groups, Shang Zhen and the others were finally approaching the woods.
Shang Zhen, who has always been cautious, stopped when he was about to surpass Xiao Dustpan and the others again, and suddenly ordered: "Everyone shoot a few times at the dense grass!"
At Shang Zhen's order, gunfire suddenly started, and the green grass in the woods was hit by bullets, and then Shang Zhen and the others rushed forward.
The Japanese army had really retreated, but there were five Japanese soldiers who had been killed on the ground. The blood was bright red and was flowing out from the wounds of the Japanese soldiers.
But Shang Zhen did not relax his vigilance. His eyes followed the muzzle of Hua Ji's gun and slid through the woods. Suddenly, he saw a person lying in a field of wormwood.
Shang Zhen couldn't help but was stunned for a moment, because the man was wearing ordinary people's clothes.
If the fight was not good this time, why did it hurt the people? This was Shang Zhen's first thought when he saw this person.
But then he realized something was wrong, because a Type 38 rifle actually fell next to the man lying down!
When people see a new situation, their brains will have a reaction speed.
Just before Shang Zhen could figure out what was going on, he heard a soldier named Fan Tenglong not far away say: "Fellow, don't be afraid."
At the moment when there was electricity and stone fire, Shang Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong. He opened his mouth and shouted urgently: "Be careful!"
Almost at the same time, gunshots of "he, he, he" rang out in the woods and his own soldiers shouted, "Get down!"
When Shang Zhen turned his head sharply, he saw a grenade flying through the gap between the trees, and he instinctively fell down.
The grenade exploded more than 20 meters away from Shang Zhen.
The grenade came so suddenly. Perhaps it was Shang Zhen's illusion. He even felt the fragments of the grenade exploding embedded in the tree trunk next to him with the sound of wind!
At this time, Shang Zhen hid behind a tree and pointed the flower trap in his hand in the direction from which the grenade flew.
However, due to the obstruction of the trees, he did not see where the enemy was. Instead, he once again heard the rapid and short bursts of the "he, he, he" flower mechanism.
There was shooting smoke rising in the woods, and then the woods fell silent.
"Fan Tenglong was killed in battle!" This was the voice of Mr. Wang.
When Shang Zhen got up and walked to the place where the grenade exploded, he saw that Fan Tenglong had fallen down, and blood was pouring out of his chest and head.
Obviously, the person is dead.
Shang Zhen moved his eyes and saw a person's head emerging from the green grass. The person was also wearing common people's clothing.
But at this time, Shang Zhen stopped examining the other party's body and knew that the guy was disguised as a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldiers also pretended to be civilians!
"Be careful!" As Shang Zhen ordered, a soldier walked deeper into the woods with a gun, then hid behind a tree trunk and pointed the gun forward.
At this time, Shang Zhen walked over to the Japanese soldier pretending to be a civilian and inspected it.
Judging from the size of this guy, he should be a Japanese soldier, but for final confirmation, Shang Zhen still ordered: "Tear off this guy's pants."
Sure enough, under the actions of the soldiers, this "common man" revealed his true colors. He was not wearing the large pants worn by the Chinese, but a hip belt made of white cloth that the Japanese only wore.
Guan Tiedou stepped forward, rummaged through the Japanese soldier's clothes, and soon found the iron plate that represented the Japanese soldier's identity.
The characters on the iron plate are also Chinese characters, with the Japanese unit number on it, such as which regiment it belongs to, etc.
Seeing that nothing could come out of the Japanese soldier, Guan Tietou kicked the Japanese soldier in the butt bitterly.
But so what? As the saying goes, "If you kick him, he will not go away, but if you pull him, he will go away." This Japanese soldier is already a dead dog.
At this moment, Shang Zhen turned around and looked at Fan Tenglong who was lying on the ground.
Fan Tenglong joined Shang Zhen's group from the Seventh Brigade along with Guan Tiedou. He is a simple and honest man, and few Northeasterners have the bad habit of being talkative. When others tease him, he just smiles naively. .
It's just that Fan Tenglong is already dead. Even the convulsions before death are gone, and there is a large pool of bright red blood under his body.
However, Fan Tenglong's eyes did not close. Although he had lost his energy, he still stared at the Chinese sky above his head.
"He is the eldest of the family, and he has a bunch of younger brothers and sisters. He also said that after he returns to his hometown after fighting the Japanese, he hopes to open a few acres of land." Guan Tiedou whispered, with endless sadness in his tone.
In fact, everyone in this world is a bit narcissistic and has their own story. Only those who are destined and entangled with him can know some of his story.
But after this person dies, these stories will eventually fade into nothingness. Who will remember that such a person once came to this world?
During the 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the total number of Chinese military and civilian casualties was conservatively estimated to be over 35 million.
In other words, there are more than 35 million people whose respective stories have been lost in the long river of history.
And countless personal stories eventually turned into a national disaster and a tragedy for the country.
