More than two hours later, Shang Zhen and others appeared in the north of Jiangyin County.
According to Shang Zhen, they wanted to walk around the county to see where they could enter the city.
But as Shang Zhen said before, the city gates have been blocked. Not only the east gate is blocked, but the north and west gates are also blocked by the defenders.
Moreover, there were Japanese troops in all directions, so how could they want to enter the city?
Wang Lao Mao glanced at Shang Zhen intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that Shang Zhen was still expressionless, he admired Shang Zhen more and more in his heart. This little kid is so thoughtful!
Shang Zhen didn't fight with Lu Di, so he just led them around the scene, and then had to avoid the Japanese troops besieging the city, right?
In this way, they circled most of the county town but could not find a way to enter the city.
After all, there was no need to fight in a positional battle, and Wang Laomao was secretly relieved.
Did God let this little brat Shang save his group of people? Old Man Wang thought so.
But then he turned around and glanced at Ju Hongxia who was not far away, intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, he realized another question, had God sent him to save this little girl?
I saved this little girl first, but then I put up a piece of tarpaulin last night. I don't know what the result will be.
After all, Mr. Wang is Mr. Wang, the somewhat naughty and gangster Mr. Wang who once had a beard.
But at this time, Shang Zhen didn't know what Wang Lao Mao was thinking. Previously, he just didn't want Wang Lao Mao and Lu Di to quarrel. In that case, wouldn't Lu Di and the others look down on them?
We don't have to fight positional warfare, but the Japanese must fight. This is Shang Zhen's true inner thought.
Shang Zhen climbed onto the roof of a tile-roofed house. He hid behind the ridge and began to observe the terrain.
When he arrived here, he finally saw a low mountain highland not far to the north, and the north gate of Jiangyin County to the south. The area where they were now was an area of dozens of bungalows sandwiched between the low mountain and the county seat. .
However, the house where the battle was fought was the only one still standing. The other houses were either burning or had collapsed walls and roofs, all of which had been hit by Japanese artillery shells.
Shang Zhen and the others basically relied on the advantage of the terrain to ambush the Japanese. Now that they saw the low mountains and highlands, they naturally felt kind to them, but Shang Zhen had no idea of going up to the low mountains.
He heard from Ju Hongxia that this place was only a few miles away from the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River is so deep, there must be Japanese warships and gunboats. Otherwise, how could their artillery shells hit Jiangyin County directly?
There must be a position for the Chinese defenders on the low mountain highlands to the north, but so far he has not discovered where the defenders are hiding? .
Shang Zhen was thinking about it in his mind, when he suddenly discovered something, so he quickly took off the telescope from his waist and looked ahead.
Just at this glance, his expression changed, because he saw the Japanese army, a small and sneaky Japanese army.
Behind the Japanese army is a piece of water. It is estimated that the Japanese army just swam across.
It shouldn't be, this was Shang Zhen's first instinct.
There are Chinese garrison troops in the county, and there should also be garrison troops along the Yangtze River. After all, the rumbling sound of artillery just to the north has never stopped.
So where did the defenders here go? But no matter where the defenders went, didn't they, like themselves, catch up with another situation?
Shang Zhen was lying on the roof, watching with a telescope, but Lu Di below was already a little unhappy.
"How can we get into the city?" Lu Di said from below, looking up at Shang Zhen.
At this time, Zhang Zhen had already put down the telescope. He drew back his body, looked at his people and said: "Listen to my order, Class 1 and Class 2 move to the left, and everyone else moves to the right. They are all ambush at the front." Over there, the little devils are coming, fifty or sixty of them!"
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when Shang Zhen said this. What city are you going to enter this time? You can fight the Japanese right here!
When Shang Zhen just jumped down from the room, he suddenly ordered again: "Guan Tiedou, Yu Qingfu, you put those two machine guns behind the burning place!"
Guan Tiedou was a machine gunner. After Er Hanzi died, another soldier named Yu Qingfu took Er Hanzi's place and became the new machine gunner.
Shang Zhen's order stunned the two machine gunners, but then they responded with a "yes" and took their assistant shooters to Shang Zhen's designated position.
Shang Zhen naturally wanted to run forward, and just as he ran past a house that was destroyed by Japanese shells, he was suddenly stunned because he saw a person's leg under the collapsed wall.
This person was definitely not an ordinary person. The Japanese army bombarded the ordinary people so much that they had already disappeared in order to seek refuge. The only ones left behind were soldiers.
As we all know, soldiers nowadays wear leggings, but this soldier not only wears leggings, but also wears a pair of straw sandals!
Soldiers wearing straw sandals? Shang Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He really couldn't remember which army wore straw sandals. Could it be the Sichuan Army?
It's just that it's too late for Shang Zhen to think about the situation. The Japanese troops will come soon.
Shang Zhen was eager to direct the battle and ran forward again. However, before he could cross the ruins, Qiao Xiong, who was running from behind, suddenly shouted: "It's our people. Only our people can do this." Style straw sandals!”
When Shang Zhen turned around, he saw Qiao Xiong running towards the ruins. The house was really just in ruins. The walls had fallen, the house had collapsed, and the frames had fallen down.
And Qiao Xiong looked inside through the gap between the squatting frame, and then shouted again: "They are really our people, there must be more than a dozen of them!"
At this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly woke up.
He felt that the defenders had to send some troops to this location after all. It seemed that the defenders happened to be hit by Japanese artillery shells while they were in this room!
This is really hard to memorize! Shang Zhen sighed inwardly.
But at this time, he could no longer control these dead soldiers of the Guizhou Army.
According to Qiao Xiong's story, the equipment and supplies of their Guizhou army were even worse. They all wore straw sandals when they walked to the Songhu battlefield.
The Battle of Songhu brought together an unprecedented number of Chinese troops from all departments.
And in terms of shabby status, the Guizhou Army and the Sichuan Army are definitely a match. According to Qiao Xiong, other troops call them the "Straw Shoe Army."
Shang Zhen thought and ran forward again. At this time, he was almost in front of the house.
"Company Commander, you asked us to guard this smoke. Where are our gun mounts? We can't see the enemy at all!" Guan Tiedou complained to Shang Zhen.
Their fighting position was designated by Shang Zhen. The firewood pile was old and was filled with damp and rotten firewood.
Therefore, even if it was ignited by the Japanese artillery fire, it was like rural people using firewood to soak dung. It was not completely burned and smoke was rising from it. The smoke directly blocked the eyes of those behind.
So Guan Tiedou didn't understand why Shang Zhen asked them to put the machine gun here.
"Don't worry, you two just set up the machine gun here, and I'll go to the side and take a look!" Shang Zhen said and ran to the left.
Shang Zhen quickly ran behind a broken wall.
He scratched the wall with his hands and slowly poked his head out. At this time, he saw the Japanese troops rushing here, only more than 200 meters away from here.
Shang Zhen let go of his hand and jumped down from the broken wall, and then shouted: "Ma Erhuzi, Xiaodustpan, you two used the flower trap to hide next to Guan Tiedou! Everyone, listen to my unified command!" "
But he himself took advantage of the cover of the broken wall and ran to the left again!
