"Actually -" Guman stopped talking when he put his gun on a low wall and pointed south.
"Actually what?" Xiao Dustpan, who was with Gu Man, of course heard half of what Gu Man said.
"Actually, we guys could have taken down the artillery position of the little devil in front." Gu Man said unwillingly.
"The other side of this high hill is the Huaihe River. The Japanese have already sent reinforcements. It doesn't matter whether we can take them down. Even if we take them down, we can't hold them." Xiao Dustpan also aimed his rifle at the high hill ahead.
"Then if we can hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon." Gu Man retorted.
"This job is too big. We have to have a big guy like you in front of us. With our small bodies, hey, it would be nice if we could kill a few more Japs." Xiao Dustpan didn't want to argue with Gu Manxi about this matter. It was a fight haha.
Xiao Dustpan is also a veteran. Regarding whether to attack or defend, whether one's side should actively look for fighter planes to destroy the enemy and then run away, or should one's side passively defend on the position, this topic has been discussed for a long time among Shang Zhen and his group. It is by no means new!
But the reason why this topic is brought up again and again is because the concept of defending territory and fighting for every inch of territory is deeply ingrained in Chinese officers and soldiers, at least among those who have the courage to resist, but Shang Zhen and others use their own In practice, it is believed that the loss would be too great. In a deeper sense, this is simply a difference in strategic thinking between the two.
Moreover, when the concept of "taking pride in life and being ashamed of death" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the military, how can Xiaodustpan be willing to tell Gu Man that even if he can take down the mortar position, what can he do? If we really take down these people, they will almost die.
He knew that if he said this, Gu Man would definitely say, "You are afraid of death!"
This kind of thing can't be explained clearly in a short while, so it's better to have doubts and just say haha.
"Little slippery man!" Gu Man said dissatisfied.
But at this moment, the rifle in Xiao Dustpan's hand suddenly rang. When he saw Xiao Dustpan shooting, Gu Man stopped talking and started to shoot forward.
And it wasn't just the two of them who were shooting forward. Gunfire rang out in confusion. Under their cover, Shang Zhen withdrew with a few people.
Shang Zhen was the first group to lead the cover, and Xiaodustpan Guman and the others naturally had to cover Shang Zhen and the others after they retreated for a certain distance. Whether attacking or retreating, this is reflected in whether a team can cross-cover. The military quality and team style of this team.
"Go, get everyone back!" Shang Zhen shouted loudly when he came back.
By now, the ruins were getting denser and denser, and Shang Zhen and the others no longer had to worry about the Japanese troops behind them firing cold shots.
Regardless of whether the Northeast Army can recapture Xiaobengbu again this time, at least the combat goal set by Shang Zhen for his group has been achieved.
As for the fact that they did not capture the Japanese mortar position, Shang Zhen found a reason for himself to comfort himself.
People in this world need to find a reason for themselves for whatever they do.
For example, the senior official of the Republic of China who later surrendered to the Japanese invaders reasoned that Japan was too strong and China was too weak. If they resisted, the country would be destroyed, so it was better to accept slavery and exploitation first.
Another example is the theory of saving the country through a curve that became popular later. That also means, oh, if you can't defeat others, what should you do if you can't defeat them? Then surrender first and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback later!
For another example, in the fable, the wolf ate the lamb, but he did not come up and eat the lamb in one bite. Then he made an excuse that you were downstream and soiled the water upstream of me. .
The reason why Shang Zhen didn't want people like him to get involved was that we were just a group of stragglers, that is, we voluntarily resisted Japan.
How many little Japs we killed were a surprise to the large army.
We are just the fruit on the plate after the meal. You can't treat us as the main course.
But he has no consciousness that we are also the main force and must complete a certain task!
Under the leadership of Shang Zhen, the group retreated to the north under the cover of the ruins.
But after only running for a while, Shang Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the left: "Go that way!"
He is the leader of the sheep and the leader of the wolf pack. He will go wherever he says, and the soldiers will follow him.
At this time, Gu Man began to slander again, but it could only be slander. He also knew that it was his turn to make the decision at this time.
It turned out that while Shang Zhen and the others were fighting the Japanese army in the south of the town, the fighting in the north was also continuing, and it was only a few hundred meters away from Shang Zhen and the others. However, Shang Zhen and the others were blocked by the ruins. But I couldn't see the fighting.
But now, no gunshots were fired in the retreat direction pointed by Shang Zhen.
In Gu Man's view, isn't Shang Zhen just avoiding war?
Shang Zhen didn't care what Gu Man thought. He felt that his group had killed more Japanese troops than his own, so it was already a great victory, so he might as well just give it up!
Just what is a battlefield? Is that something you can avoid if you want to avoid fighting?
Shang Zhen and his group always charged forward and retreated behind.
He avoided the battle in the south, and now that there was a battlefield in the north, of course he ran to the front.
But just as he was walking around a ruined house that had collapsed but the corner of the house was intact, he saw a group of Japanese troops rushing towards him!
The Japanese army was also in a state of disarray. Although their uniforms were not in tatters, they were still full of marks from the smoke of war. They were holding the same Type 38 rifles as Shang Zhen and others. Some of the rifles had Some of them had bayonets not attached.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the enemy and we are so close. When Shang Zhen turns the corner and the enemy and we face each other, they are not even fifty meters apart!
If in a positional battle, the attacking side rushes to a distance of fifty meters, then charge straight up with the bayonet, then it will be a hand-to-hand fight.
But now, not only are the distance less than fifty meters, but the enemy and we are running towards each other. At this time, both the enemy and we are using Type 38 rifles, which are manual rifles. So how can we have the time to shoot? If you have the skill to raise the gun to your shoulder and pull the trigger, the opponent's gun butt or bayonet will be there!
"Japanese! Charge!" Shang Zhen shouted, and he charged forward with the rifle in his hand.
At this time, the soldiers who turned the corner saw the Japanese army, and saw that they met the Japanese army on a narrow road. The brave one would win when the two armies met. The soldiers behind a rifle rushed up, and the soldiers behind saw the front. When the soldiers turned a corner, they would shout "Japanese" and they would pull the bolt or turn on the safety and rush forward.
But judging from the situation of this encounter between the enemy and ourselves, if hand-to-hand combat really breaks out, Shang Zhen and the others will definitely suffer.
The reason was that Shang Zhen and the others came around a corner, and the soldiers behind them were still half a beat too slow to react.
Even though the soldiers coming from behind had already loaded the bullets and were just one step away from pulling the trigger, like Shang Zhen and the others, the people in front were already strangled with the Japanese army. So how could they fire again in order to prevent accidental injury to the soldiers behind?
And at this moment, an unexpected change happened again!
