Finally I saw my own people, they were Xiao Dustpan and Ma Tianfang.
Although everyone was happy to meet up, now was not the time to reminisce about the past, simply because there were both our own people and pursuers behind us.
Little Dustpan just shouted "Boss" in surprise and then began to report the enemy's situation, "Qin Chuan and Chen Hanwen are behind, and there is a platoon of less than ten Japanese soldiers behind."
Shang Zhen was not afraid of what Little Dustpan said about the enemy, but what Little Dustpan said after taking a deep breath was the most critical, "They still have five or six people on horseback!"
Shang Zhen couldn't help but frown.
Although the terrain here has undulations, it can never stop the cavalry.
"Little Dustpan Ma Tianfang is coming with me. You guys stay behind to take cover and cross fire, okay?" After saying this, Shang Zhen dropped the rifle in his hand but picked up the box cannon again and headed towards the left side of the hill. Run ahead.
At this point, what's the use of talking about anything else, so that they can join forces. However, Shang Zhen transferred away his two most capable veterans.
Battles are often like this. Sometimes you have to go into battle in a hurry, that is, you have to catch a duck to get on the shelf. How can you prepare all four eyes before starting the fight.
Shang Zhen and the others were running very fast, and there was a big pit on the left front. Shang Zhen wanted to take these two people there to stop the Japanese army.
Gao Yuyan wanted to follow Shang Zhen, but she knew that she must not cause trouble at this time, so she could only endure it, and her little heart started to beat "thumping".
The big pit was more than a hundred meters away from the hill. Before Shang Zhen and the three of them could get there, they saw Qin Chuan and Ma Tianfang rushing out of the woods ahead.
Although there is still a hundred meters between each other, everyone is too familiar with each other after all. Shang Zhen just pointed at the hill he just ran down, and the two people ran towards that hill without even stopping. .
As for when they found out that they finally found Shang Zhen, they still couldn't see the happy expression.
As soon as Shang Zhen and the three of them ran into the pit and lay down on the edge of the pit and looked forward, the figures of the Japanese and puppet troops were revealed, and the ones running at the front were indeed a few puppet troops riding war horses.
The cavalry naturally ran fast. Shang Zhen and the three of them had only just observed it when they heard the "pop" of a rifle on the other side of the hill.
But Shang Zhen could guess without looking that the gun would miss.
The reason is that Qin Chuan and Chen Hanwen have not yet run to the hill, and the only one who can shoot on the hill is Yu Zuolong.
However, no matter what, shooting is better than not shooting, at least it is a deterrent to these cavalry.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen heard the sound of gunshots from the cavalrymen who were chasing forward.
That gunshot sounds like a box cannon, right? When Shang Zhen looked carefully, he saw that one of the puppet soldiers running closer and closer had his hands off the reins, and a gun was pressed against his shoulder.
"Take it back!" Shang Zhen said anxiously.
Now he could clearly see the guns used by the cavalrymen. If he only had to glance at them, the three of them would be exposed.
Shang Zhen knew that if he wanted to escape the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops behind him, he must kill these cavalrymen.
Under Shang Zhen's order, the three of them retracted their bodies behind the edge of the pit, and then they heard the faint sound of horse hooves running past them.
"It seems like it's a bit too much!" Shang Zhen sighed in a low voice.
Their current position is really a bit of a dilemma. If they attack the cavalry now, they can knock out a few cavalry, but the Japanese and puppet infantry are following behind.
Shang Zhen didn't want to shoot at those Japanese and puppet troops. Once the shooting started, it would be impossible to eliminate them with their firepower, and the three of them would be trapped in this big pit.
"It's not a big deal. Kill the Japs first. I guess the puppet troops won't dare to chase them." At this time, Little Dustpan said.
"That's all it can do." Shang Zhen replied.
While they were talking, the gunshots above the pit rang out chaotically. They couldn't show up to fight yet, but listening to the gunshots, it was the Japanese and puppet troops who came behind and were also firing. .
"It's a little far, but it should be enough to kill those Japs." Shang Zhen glanced at the small dustpan and the gun used by Ma Tianfang.
The two of them each took a flower trap.
At this time, by the same token, the three of them were happy to meet each other, but they still couldn't say much. They had better finish the battle first.
At this time, they did not care about how the few cavalrymen who rushed over were fighting with their own people, and they all listened to the location of the gunshots of the Japanese and puppet troops behind them.
"The little devil should be running at the back." Ma Tianfang analyzed
Shang Zhen and Xiao Dustpan both said "hmm", this judgment should be correct.
After a while, Xiao Dustpan and Ma Tianfang both looked at Shang Zhen, waiting for Shang Zhen to give an order.
They could hear the sound of the hooves of the cavalry running past before, but they could not hear the footsteps of the Japanese and puppet troops who came behind them. But now they could only estimate.
They can't show their heads to observe at all. If they do, the fight will begin!
"One, two, three, four--" Shang Zhen started counting, but he was also unable to judge the location of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Just when Xiao Dustpan and Ma Tianfang thought that Shang Zhen was about to order shooting, Shang Zhen unexpectedly counted again: "Five, six, seven, eight, nine, shoot!"
At this sound, Shang Zhen straightened his body and pointed out the box cannon in his hand.
Xiao Dustpan and Ma Tian would naturally not say that Shang Zhen was panting at this time. After hearing Shang Zhen's order, the two of them instinctively stood up and put their respective bodies on their shoulders at the same time.
At the moment when the three of them appeared almost at the same time, their brains went blank for a moment, and then the guns in the hands of the three of them all rang out.
The reason was that when they showed up, they discovered that the Japanese soldiers were only forty or fifty meters away from them!
This distance was really too close. Although Shang Zhen and the three of them were surprised, they also saw the shocked eyes of the Japanese soldiers when they looked at them with rifles.
However, in this kind of close combat, both the enemy and ourselves have loaded their bullets and turned on the safety, and life and death are really just a matter of pulling the trigger.
Shang Zhen, who was well prepared, was so fast that he could pull the trigger instantly, not to mention that the three of them were using automatic weapons.
So, under the shooting like a storm, the Japanese soldiers were beaten to the ground.
But how can this battle end here?
Shang Zhen and the three of them immediately turned their guns, and the bullets were fired at the puppet soldiers who were charging forward diagonally.
Needless to say, the combat quality of Chinese soldiers nowadays is really not high. Many of them are strong men who were captured, and the puppet troops are soldiers who surrendered because they were afraid of death. So how strong can their combat quality be? ?
Those puppet soldiers were only a hundred meters away from Shang Zhen and the others. Shang Zhen, Xiao Dustpan, and Ma Tianfang fired short bursts this time, but they were specifically looking for puppet soldiers who dared to turn their guns.
In another moment, after six or seven of the puppet soldiers were defeated, the remaining puppet soldiers who were lying on the ground did not know who shouted "Stop fighting, we surrender!"
Then Shang Zhen and the others saw those puppet soldiers lying on the ground with their rifles raised above their heads! They actually surrendered!
"Keep an eye on them!" Shang Zhen ordered. Only then did he have time to turn around and look at the puppet cavalry.
At this time, he saw several cavalrymen running away into the distance, but there was also one horse with no one on it, and one of the cavalrymen had been knocked off his horse by Shang Zhen's people. As for who fired the shot? The fight no longer matters.
