There were Japanese flares rising in the distance, but at this time, the Northeastern Army soldiers who crawled out of the cellar were already hiding in the shadow of a ruin.
There was a soldier on the wall at the edge of the ruins looking into the distance. It was a guard post, while the remaining people squatted in a circle around the man in the middle.
By this time, as expected by Gu Man, he had already recognized that the man in the middle, the one who saved him earlier, was the leader of the group, and he also knew that the man who looked bigger than him My son’s name is Shang Zhen
Gu Man couldn't help but feel guilty. The reason was that when his third brother, who was the company commander, went to borrow a gun from this group of people, it was this man who took off the box gun slung over his shoulder and lent it to them. Brother, he was watching from the side at that time.
And now that he was carrying this box gun on his back, how could he not feel it?
But at this time, naturally there was no room for him to speak, so he heard a soldier reporting in a low voice: "Boss, we have figured out the situation ahead."
"Have you figured out what happened with the gunshots and grenades earlier?" Gu Man then heard Shang Zhen ask again.
"When we came back, there were Japs here. One was because we were afraid that the Japs would find the cellar, and the other was that we couldn't come back even if they stayed here, so Qiu Bo made some noise in the distance." The soldier explained.
"Oh." Shang Zhen responded and stopped worrying about this issue and said, "Tell me about the situation you detected.
"According to what you said, we have found the main places where the Japanese have stationed troops, the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, and the Japanese mortar positions. Xiao Dustpan led him to the place where the Japanese stationed troops, and Qin Chuan led him to the Japanese mortar positions. , I will lead you to the heavy machine gun position." The soldier reported again.
"Okay, let's fight according to our plan. After the fight, the three groups will retreat.
You guys who are doing reconnaissance, please change all the clothes of the little devil, and don't start fighting among yourselves in the dark.
Remember, you shouldn't be afraid of death when fighting Japanese invaders, but don't be tough if you see that you can't beat them. "Gu Man heard Shang Zhen say again.
Now that Shang Zhen had given the order, a rustling voice sounded in the shadow of the ruins.
Only then did Gu Man realize that the person who had gone out to conduct reconnaissance was not just the one who had just reported the enemy's situation. There had to be at least several people who had gone out to conduct reconnaissance, and they even pretended to be Japanese soldiers!
But what shocked Gu Man was not just this, but it turned out that it was no coincidence that Shang Zhen and his gang appeared in the cellar of Xiaobengbu. They actually had a complete set of battle plans, and they were hiding here. They wanted to take advantage of the Japanese army's unsteady foothold in this night to launch a surprise attack!
For a moment, Gu Man was extremely shocked!
He was so shocked and dazed that he didn't wake up until someone from Shang Zhen's group spoke again.
"A group of people are following me." Although the speaker's voice was not old, it definitely did not sound like someone in their twenties.
"People from the second group are following me." The person who spoke was much younger.
In the shadow of the ruins at this moment, the slight sound of the collision of firearms and the rustle of walking clothes rang out.
"Hey!" Gu Mandeng became anxious at this moment, "Which group should I join?"
Although his voice was not high-pitched, there was an urgency that could not be concealed.
What's the use of saying anything else now? Since Shang Zhen and his group were going to attack the Japanese at night, how could they leave him behind?
"Just follow us." That was Shang Zhen's voice.
Then, when Gu Man saw the remaining group of people, he started to move as well.
Thoughts such as doubts, shock, etc. all disappeared in an instant.
From being rescued by Shang Zhen in the cellar to now, Gu Man has only said this sentence, but the next battle will begin soon. What else is more important than life and death? Gu Man followed Shang Zhen and trotted out with a bow.
And after just bypassing a few ruins, Gu Man discovered that the outside world had become somewhat different during the time he had entered the cellar.
He couldn't quite tell how long he had been in the cellar, but it must have been three or four hours.
Before he entered the cellar, except for a few flares fired by the Japanese army, it was completely dark most of the time.
But now there are a few more lights in the town.
Although the bright light was blocked by the ruins of the wall, there was no doubt that it was the light of fire. The Japanese army should have lit the fire. After all, it was impossible for the Japanese army to set up defense positions while their eyes were completely dark.
And precisely because of the light, Gu Man could also think of why the people sent by Shang Zhen to conduct reconnaissance were disguised as Japanese soldiers. But even so, this kind of reconnaissance needs to be bold enough.
Gu Man didn't know who was leading the way for his group, but obviously the person leading the way knew roughly where the Japanese troops were, so they walked or crawled between the shadows of the ruins, and when they encountered the necessary Through the bright spot, under the cover of the soldiers behind them, two soldiers quickly rushed through the bright spot and then hid in the darkness.
Of course Guman knew that this was also a cross-cover advance.
Experts can tell if there are any as soon as they take action. Seeing these soldiers maintain their shooting posture and take delicate steps to nimbly avoid obstacles under their feet or in front of them, while different soldiers are staring in different directions, this is not just He is a veteran, he is obviously a well-trained veteran!
Veterans represent combat seniority, having only survived a few battles.
But being well-trained represents the military quality of soldiers, which cannot be replaced by just the word "veteran". Guman himself is a veteran, but he thinks that when others move forward with a posture of ready to fight, he himself Just can't do it!
It seems that it is really inappropriate to say that these people are cowards!
Gu Man, who originally wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to the battle that was about to begin, suddenly became excited again. But then, when a group of ten of them were running along a broken wall, something unexpected happened. happened!
All of them heard a "bang" in the distance, and at this sound, they all shrank to the corner. When they looked up again, they saw a "shooting star" coming from The sky with stars appeared above the wall beside him.
However, then this "meteor", which was much brighter than the stars, suddenly exploded with a "bang" in the sky in their field of vision, and turned into a little sun in the dark night, and in an instant The stars disappeared, and the sky and the earth seemed like day, except that there was no blue sky.
The Japanese army actually fired a flare at this moment!
This kind of emergency situation is the most test of the soldiers' reaction speed.
When Gu Man reacted, he saw about ten people like Shang Zhen beside him. Most of them pointed their 38-type rifles at visible places near and far away. When he reacted similarly, he also fired the box cannon. When he pointed it out, he didn't know anyone else, but Shang Zhen's rifle next to him had changed several angles!
But what happened next made Gu Man feel ashamed, because Shang Zhen had already shouted in a low voice: "Go into those broken houses opposite!"
They were indeed moving among the ruins, but the place they were walking in just now happened to be an alley. Although most of the houses had been bombed, the original alley was still much wider. If there were Japanese troops at this time, If they come here, they will definitely be discovered by the Japanese army!
So it would be safest to hide in the shabby houses across the street.
Now that there was an order, everyone moved quickly. Gu Man was the second to last one and got into a dilapidated house, while Shang Zhen was the last one.
And when the two of them entered the man's dilapidated house and hid their bodies in the darkness, suddenly there was a soldier who entered the dilapidated house first and whispered: "Silly man, you used our leader's gun. Ah, return the gun quickly, your skills are a bit too new!"
Gu Man never expected that a soldier would suddenly mention such words at such a moment. Suddenly, his face turned red.
I think it was when the flare illuminated the sky that the soldiers noticed that he was actually using a twenty-shot box cannon with a long magazine! So how could people not guess that this box gun was Shang Zhen's original one?
Give the gun back? Still not paying it back? Gu Man was already a little overwhelmed.
But at this time Shang Zhen had already said: "Shut up, there are ghosts coming!"
