It was still the bleak land in winter, with high hills, earthen mounds, fields and sparse trees, but the terrain was generally open.
Facing this most ordinary winter scene on the north bank of the Huaihe River, perhaps only a literati would write that "there are two trees on the north bank of the Huaihe River, one is an old locust tree, and the other is also an old locust tree."
At this time, in Shang Zhen's eyes, the trees he saw, the paddy fields with rice stubble and no water, the high hills, and even a small earth bag were all given military meanings by him. .
Behind the farthest high hill is the road from Xiaobengbu Town to the brigade headquarters. Since the Japanese army is launching an attack on the brigade headquarters, that road is the only way for the Japanese army to pass.
If Shang Zhen wanted to continue to support the brigade headquarters, then he would need to take a group of more than ten people around him to move to the high hill, so as to pose a threat to the Japanese army on the flanks.
But if they want to move to that high hill, they must face an unknown number of Japanese troops who may be hiding in the fields.
In fact, it would be wrong to say that the number of soldiers was unknown. There were only about a dozen Japanese soldiers at most, that is, those Japanese soldiers who were not killed by them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the Japanese troops will withdraw, but the Japanese troops will definitely leave warning posts on the flanks.
Shang Zhen is a veteran, and he will not underestimate the Japanese guard post. If a dozen of them dare to appear rashly in an open field, the Japanese army will definitely hit them one by one.
What Shang Zhen is good at is scheming against the Japanese army. Even if it seems to others to be very dangerous actions, it is also beyond the enemy's expectations. For example, this time he disguised himself as a Japanese army and acted as a death squad.
But what troubles him the most is this kind of rigid battle. The mission that must be completed means sacrifice, and he has too few people. But even if there are many people, Shang Zhen does not want any of the veterans who are with him every day to be injured or killed. .
A veteran must master various combat skills and face various types of battles. This is ultimately unavoidable.
This is like a student who must learn to solve various types of problems, including filling in the blanks and choosing to calculate.
Shang Zhen once again took out his binoculars and began to search the fields opposite. There was no need to look at the low-lying areas. The Japanese army's guard posts would not be hidden there. The hiding places for the Japanese army were nothing more than high hills or woods or mountains. Class can block the figure's place.
However, Shang Zhen couldn't find any clues after scanning for a while.
The essence of a telescope is a magnifying glass, but after all, it is not the kind of magnifying glass that you can squat on the ground and hold in your hand to watch ants move. It is too difficult to find the hiding place of the Japanese military guard post.
The Japanese army is also a veteran, and they are in a combat situation, so how can they expect them to stand upright with a rifle and show off POSS from the commanding heights!
"What do you think if I give him a shot?" A soldier whom Zhou Xiu didn't know discussed in a low voice. That was Yu Zuolong.
"You are considered a veteran. When you shoot, do you think the Japanese will pop out all of a sudden? Or will they hide and look at you and then shoot you?" Yes. Another soldier said in a disdainful tone, that was Bai Zhan.
"Well, that makes sense." Yu Zuolong nodded.
Now Bai Zhan is determined not to offend a veteran like Xiaodustpan Qinchuan. He has no qualifications and they don't want to see him because he is indebted to others.
In terms of qualifications for joining Shang Zhen's group, Yu Zuolong and Bai Zhan are similar. They both "joined" during the Nanjing Defense War.
Therefore, Bai Zhan is usually willing to use words to attack Yu Zuolong, even though Yu Zuolong doesn't like to see him either.
Bai Zhan smiled proudly when he saw Yu Zuolong had no words to refute.
But his smile hadn't disappeared yet, but Yu Zuolong said in the same disdainful tone: "It makes sense, but it feels like this is the experience of being a thief!"
Yu Zuolong's counterattack was so sudden, it was like suddenly pricking Bai Zhan with a needle, which immediately made Yu Zuolong think "fuck you", while veterans like Ma Tianfang, Chu Tian, and Chen Hanwen A smile appeared on his face.
"What's wrong with being a thief? It's as if we are all good people, but we still have beards!" Now no one dares to expose them, and Bai Zhan can only continue to talk.
As he said this, he glanced at the veterans Ma Tianfang and Chu Tian with a sly look.
Of course he knew that Wang Lao Mao and Xiao Dustpan were born in Huzi, or in other words, a large number of people in the Northeast Army were born in Huzi.
Yu Zuolong was exposing his shortcomings, and he was exposing the shortcomings of Wang Lao Ma and their veterans. He was particularly careful about speaking ill of the veterans.
At this time, he naturally noticed the smiles on the faces of Ma Tianfang, Chu Tian, and Chen Hanwen.
"Tch, you still have the nerve to laugh at me? You two adulterers have already collapsed on the bed." Bai Zhan muttered in words that only he could hear clearly.
His voice was really very low, and he knew that if these words were heard by veterans, even Chu Tian, who was called a scholar, or Chen Hanwen, who was half a scholar, he would either have to be scolded or maybe Mouth after mouth.
The dignity of veterans cannot be violated!
What's more, he was extremely vicious and called Chu Tian and the female student Su Ya "adulterers".
In fact, the red-covered Kang where Chu Tian and Su Ya lived was definitely not caused by the two doing bed exercises.
Even though the combat mission is very urgent, during the intervals between battles, those Northeastern soldiers will not be idle.
The reason for the collapse of the kang has been found. It is because the so-called "full house" method of setting up the kang was learned and used by Chen Hanwen.
When he was a "little worker", he saw Qiu Bo's simple toilet, so he told Chu Tian, his best personal friend, that Mr. Wang could live on a new kang and cuddle up with his wife, so how easy was it to build such a kang? It should also be possible to live in it.
However, some things look simple and are actually very simple, but novices still make mistakes after all.
When Qiu Bo built a kang, he used a brick facade to cover the brick plane, and the contact surface between the facade and the plane was filled with mud.
Anyone with some life experience knows that when the mud, yellow mud or mortar is dried, it will fix the two bricks.
But Chen Hanwen and Chu Tian were lucky. They also used vertical bricks and flat bricks on top, but they didn't add mud at all on the contact surface between the upper and lower bricks.
Then you said it was just a thin layer of kang noodles on the top. Although it was said to be dry, the kang below was not one piece. If Chu Tian suddenly sat up, it would have been expected that the kang would collapse with a "boom". .
"I seem to have seen a little devil!" At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Shang Zhen's words calmed the soldiers' wandering thoughts, and everyone looked forward. Some even leaned their rifles against their shoulders a little more.
"Where?" Chen Hanwen asked.
"He's running with his back bent on that high hill." Shang Zhen said, and the telescope he placed in front of him also moved slightly.
Now Shang Zhen and the others are only more than 200 meters away from the high hill.
The reason why Shang Zhen used a telescope was just to see more clearly.
At Shang Zhen's prompt, the soldiers also discovered the Japanese soldier running bent behind the bushes on the ridgeline of the high hill.
"This little devil came from behind the high hill. He must be looking for the Japanese troops ambushing on the high hill!" Bai Zhan said excitedly.
It's just that he was never popular, and he was immediately ridiculed by the veterans.
"Smart." Zhen Hanwen said.
"You are the only smart one." Chu Tian said.
"You are the smartest in the Northeast Army!" Ma Tianfang said.
