Wang Laomao didn't know that for them, who had now left Nanjing City, this should be regarded as a happy trouble compared with Shang Zhen.
What are the troubles of happiness?
At least it is the Cantonese army that is fighting life and death with the Japanese army in the front, not their group of Northeastern soldiers who stayed behind. But now Shang Zhen, Bai Zhan, and Yu Zuolong are hiding on the second floor of a building. Behind the window, the smoke from the explosion was spreading into the sky while the dust was falling.
Shang Zhen and the others were staring closely at a strange-looking cannon at the street corner ahead!
Under the cannon is a tripod, two in front and one in back. Because the support angle is very low, it looks like an insect with long legs lying in the water.
Shang Zhen didn't know that kind of insect was called a water strider. He always called it a water spider.
Yes, the Japanese gun in front of them now looks like a water spider, but it only has three legs.
No one can figure out the Japanese design concept of weapons. Strictly speaking, this gun is more like an enlarged version of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun.
However, as a weapon, it doesn't matter how ugly the thing is. After all, it is a cannon, a direct-fire cannon. According to Shang Zhen's previous visual inspection, the caliber of the cannon should be about 40mm.
Just now the Japanese artillery came towards them.
It was a direct-fire cannon. At the moment of firing, not to mention Bai Zhan and Yu Zuolong, even Shang Zhen didn't react at all.
The cannonball was moving in a straight line so fast that Shang Zhen only saw a white light flash from the muzzle before the cannonball exploded!
Fortunately, the artillery shell hit the other end of the building, and Shang Zhen and the others were able to escape. However, even so, the artillery shell still blew up the wall of the house on Shang Zhen's side, causing the bricks to loosen and dust to fly.
And now the cannon was pointing here again. Shang Zhen originally planned to take Bai Zhan and Yu Zuolong to jump off the building, but he glanced at the cannon again and felt that the cannon was pointing somewhat differently. He finally It was to tell Bai Zhan and Yu Zuolong not to act rashly.
"It is indeed not pointing at us. The muzzle seems to be deflected to the right." Bai Zhan judged in a low voice.
Now there is no doubt that Bai Zhan is a thief. Regardless of whether he is a master thief or not, his eyesight is only better than that of ordinary people.
After a while, they saw the muzzle flashing white light again, and at the same time there was a "boom". This time there was a "boom" on the right side of Shang Zhen and the others.
Shang Zhen and the three of them were blocked by the buildings around them and could not see the explosion of the shell. However, it was certain that the adjacent building on the right was damaged.
"Let's run quickly!" Bai Zhan said.
"How do you know how to run away?" Yu Zuolong retorted dissatisfiedly.
Shang Zhen originally planned to take the two of them out of the city from the east, south or southeast. However, they were first trapped by the defeated troops, and then the Japanese army entered the city and occupied the main streets.
Shang Zhen and the three of them could only walk through the residential area, which would be slow.
As a veteran, Shang Zhen knew very well that if the three of him were discovered by the Japanese army at this time and entangled them, they would definitely not get good results, so he ran away, not to mention Bai Zhan, he But he also made full use of his talent for stealing, which was also a run.
As a result, Yu Zuolong, who was traveling with the two of them, could only run along.
However, Yu Zuolong was still young and bloody, and now he finally complained. In his subconscious, instead of running around like this, it would be better to fight with the Japanese army!
"Of course you'll run away if you can't fight, are you stupid?" Yu Zuolong's philosophy of survival is indeed different from Bai Zhan's.
"Then -" Yu Zuolong was about to retort, but was interrupted by Shang Zhen, because what Shang Zhen said was: "Get ready to fight!"
Shang Zhen's words made Yu Zuolong instinctively pick up his rifle, and Shang Zhen had already put his flower machine on his shoulder. Bai Zhan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was also carrying a flower machine. .
Bai Zhan just wore a military uniform. Although he could shoot a gun, he was still a thief in essence. In his concept, there was no "preparation to fight", but there was "preparation to strike"!
But I had to listen to Shang Zhen's words, but as soon as Bai Zhan set the flower trap on fire, Shang Zhen's gun fired first, "He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he. Long's rifle also clicked.
At this time, Bai Zhan saw the Japanese soldiers manipulating the cannon in front and fell down after being shot.
"Okay!" Bai Zhan shouted. Just as he was about to aim and pull the trigger, Shang Zhen shouted: "Retreat, jump out from behind!"
"Huh?" Yu Zuolong was stunned for a moment before he remembered to put away the gun, but Bai Zhan quickly turned off the safety and put away the gun, followed Shang Zhen to get up, turned around and ran back.
It must be admitted that Bai Zhan is slow to respond to battle commands, but he is indeed very talented at escaping.
Yu Zuolong reacted slowly. By the time he jumped off the second floor, Shang Zhen and Bai Zhan were already standing on the ground.
How high can the second floor of a residential building be? But it was not enough to break them, who were now in their prime. Yu Zuolong wanted to ask Shang Zhen why he ran away, but at this time he saw Chinese soldiers jumping one after another from the adjacent building. Come down.
Those soldiers were jumping so fast that they looked like they were dropping dumplings! In a moment, more than twenty people jumped out, and when people saw the three of them, they ran over.
Because everything happened so fast, Yu Zuolong still didn't understand what was going on.
But Shang Zhen had no time to explain to him.
Shang Zhen heard gunfire here when he took Bai Zhan and Yu Zuolong to avoid the Japanese army. As soon as he heard the gunshot, he knew it was not from the Japanese army.
When he got to the second floor, he saw several Japanese soldiers fallen on the street, and he knew that there were his own people in the adjacent building.
It is true that Shang Zhen did not want to fight with the Japanese army, but it did not mean that he would watch the Japanese army use that cannon to blow down the building.
But now seeing so many soldiers jumping out of that building all at once made Shang Zhen surprised, and the surprise also made him feel a little more excited.
After all, not all of the hundreds of thousands of defenders abandoned their guns and fled, and there were still some who stayed!
"Which part?" The person on the other side ran over in the blink of an eye, an officer asked.
Shang Zhen only glanced at the other party's attire and knew that the other party was from the Central Army and also a military policeman.
"Belonging to the Northeastern Army." Shang Zhen replied, then said "Run quickly" and turned around to go into the alley on the right.
"Why are you running?" the officer asked.
"I want to live!" Shang Zhen answered straightforwardly.
"Fight the Japanese!" the officer said angrily.
It was these people who had previously ambushed the Japanese troops rushing onto the street in that building.
But who would have thought that the Japanese army would move out a cannon.
And just when they were hesitating whether to switch to fighting, Shang Zhen shot and knocked down the Japanese gunner in time, which could be regarded as saving them.
He was naturally grateful to Shang Zhen in his heart.
But now he saw that Shang Zhen just turned around and ran away after meeting him, but he felt angry again.
The officer believed from the bottom of his heart that a soldier's destiny was to die fighting against Japanese invaders, so he stayed to fight with the Japanese army. But now Shang Zhen answered him bluntly that he "wanted to survive", so how could he not come? gas?
But when he asked, Shang Zhen replied without looking back: "Is it a contradiction?"
"Huh?" The officer was stunned for a moment, then he exchanged glances with the people next to him and said, "That makes sense!" So he followed, and naturally he followed the soldiers behind him. Followed closely.
yes! Contradictory? Is fighting the Japanese contradictory to wanting to survive? Sometimes it's a contradiction, sometimes it's not!
