As mentioned before, people always die in wars. The only difference is how many people die and who will die.
At this time, just as Mr. Wang and the others thought, there were still people alive in Qin Ziqiang's class, but now there were only three people left.
It only took Mr. Wang and the others two or three minutes to run from the center of the open field to their own position, and their squad really only fought for two or three minutes.
And in just these two or three minutes, five of the ten people in their class were killed and two were seriously injured.
The two seriously wounded men naturally stopped running when they saw that they couldn't run away. However, it was under their cover that Qin Ziqiang, Li Liangzi, and Zhang Yong rushed to the mountain.
The mountain is in the leading position to the north.
Qin Ziqiang had no intention of going back alive ever since he took over Wang's cover mission.
But having no intention of going back alive does not mean that he will rush forward with his companions and be shot to death by the Japanese army.
Just as he heard Shang Zhen's veterans say, don't die easily. Only the living can beat the Japanese to death. There is no use in the underworld!
For Qin Ziqiang and the three of them, it is now a foregone conclusion that they will be beaten to death by the Japanese, but they have the opportunity to choose how to die.
At least, now they are hiding on this mountain and can take advantage of the terrain to kill a few more Japs!
"I used to think that the veterans under the company commander were quite powerful, but now I see they are nothing more than that!" Li Liangzi complained while hiding in the woods with a gun on his shoulder.
But at this time Qin Ziqiang smiled.
In fact, people are all like this. If you worry about gains and losses in life and death, you will naturally be unhappy, entangled, and anxious.
But when a person lets go of life and death, his state of mind becomes calmer.
"Old Qin, why are you laughing?" Zhang Yong asked.
"Death is a matter of time. How long can Mr. Wang live as long as he has been transformed into a bastard for thousands of years?" Qin Ziqiang disagreed, "The difference between them and us is just who dies first, and the other thing is -"
"What else?" the two men asked together.
"Also, before we die, which one of us or them kills more Japs? I just hope that we can use the current terrain to kill a few more Japs.
It's over. Let's spread the word about how many Japanese we killed, and then we can compare with that bastard Mr. Wang. "Qin Ziqiang smiled.
It is a habit for Northeastern people to curse people, especially in the military nowadays. Even when you call someone a "shit", you can just barely interpret it as a nickname.
"What a fool." Li Liangzi also laughed.
"Happy, happy mouth." Qin Ziqiang replied.
Yes, isn't it just Qin Ziqiang's way of speaking that makes him happy?
The three of them have been surrounded by the Japanese army. The Japanese army should have discovered that there are only three of them now. The reason why they did not attack the mountain now is because they do not want to cause unnecessary casualties.
Five minutes later, the Japanese attack began. Qin Ziqiang and the three of them did not speak, but they all aimed their rifles at the Japanese troops who had reached the foot of the mountain.
The mountain is not too high, but because of the slopes, they are now about 140 to 50 meters away from the Japanese troops at the bottom of the mountain.
The shooting skills of the three of them could not be said to be accurate at hitting a target at this distance, but they were almost the same.
The most terrible thing for the Japanese army was that there were no trees on this mountain, just some shrubs and grass. The terrain was open, but it was no different.
But for Qin Ziqiang and others, the terrain on the top of the mountain is somewhat complicated. There is no shortage of trees, rocks, and trees, which provides them with natural protection.
And this is the reason why Qin Ziqiang chose this place. Anyway, the three of them have no intention of escaping. If they stay here, they will be a living target when the Japanese army appears!
"Pa", "pa", "pa", gunshots rang out soon.
Although some Japanese troops who were attacking the mountain fell down amidst the sound of gunfire, the covering fire of the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain also started, and bullets from rifles and light machine guns were fired towards the mountain.
But the Japanese army really underestimated the terrain of this mountain. It was difficult to find three protruding rifles among the jagged rocks and dense trees. However, Qin Ziqiang and the three soldiers shot them all. One shot changed the place. When people saw the Japanese soldiers on the mountain, it was an exaggeration to say that they could see every detail, but it was absolutely no problem if they could see everything at a glance.
In just a short time, they knocked down a dozen Japanese soldiers who were charging forward with guns in hand!
The remaining Japanese troops saw that the covering firepower behind them was always empty. They suffered too many casualties, so they stopped attacking upwards. They all hurriedly found favorable terrain at the foot of the mountain and hid. Suddenly, it was convenient for both the enemy and ourselves. A situation of fighting in the air formed.
"It's interesting! I really killed a lot of people, so I can brag about it in the underworld after I die!" At this time, Li Liangzi, who shrank back, shouted proudly.
The reason why he shouted was because the three of them were constantly changing their shooting positions in order to avoid the Japanese firepower.
Changing shooting positions does not mean that Qin Ziqiang changed to Li Liang's position, Li Liang changed to Zhang Yong's position, and then Zhang Yong changed back to Qin Ziqiang's position.
What's the point of changing them this way?
The Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain discovered that one of them was able to fire bullets with great force, and the others were replaced. The original one was not fired, but the bullets were fired and the replaced person could not do it!
So Qin Ziqiang and the three of them took care of their own affairs separately, and then everyone moved around in their own areas.
Since they are far apart, can't Li Liangzi shout?
"If we can hold on until dark, maybe the three of us can survive for a while!" Zhang Yong also shouted.
"Go away! What's the difference between half alive and dead?" Zhang Yong laughed and scolded.
"Stop squealing, you two go see if there are any little devils coming from the other direction!" Qin Ziqiang shouted.
A mountain is surrounded by slopes on all four sides. They had seen it before and found that it was really easy for the Japanese troops to climb up. As for the direction of the steep slope, the Japanese troops really had no one to climb up.
In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, the hillside is not flat. When the hillside has an inclination of forty or fifty degrees, it is already unrealistic for people to come up from the mountain just by relying on their legs and feet.
There were no trees on the hillside, but there was low grass. The rubber soles of the Japanese soldiers' big-toe shoes would slip when they stepped on the grass, so they had to grab something to prevent themselves from slipping away.
Since the hands are occupied, if there is another gunshot on the mountain, won't the Japanese soldiers who go up the mountain have to be shot?
For a while, the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain had no good way to deal with the three Chinese soldiers on the mountain. In the end, Qin Ziqiang and the three of them saw that they could no longer hit the Japanese army, so they simply put down their guns.
They are now surrounded, and if they keep wasting like this until dark, they might have a chance to escape. At least this is still a bit far-fetched.
They always need to save ammunition to deal with the Japanese army.
Now that the three of them were far apart and the terrain was complicated, it was impossible for them to see each other, so the three of them shouted through the air to communicate about the situation down the mountain.
After a while, the Japanese stopped shooting when they saw that they were just wasting ammunition if they shot further up the mountain.
"I don't know what the little devil is holding back. He won't give the three of us gas bombs, will he?" Zhang Yong shouted again with some worry, because at this time he noticed that the wind direction had changed now, and it had changed from north wind to north wind. It became an east wind, although the wind was not strong.
"How is it possible for anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes?" Li Liangzi disagreed.
Li Liangzi really thought that there was no need for the Japanese to waste a gas bomb because of three of them. No, just one gas bomb was not enough. No matter whether the Japanese used mortars or grenade launchers, they always had to test-fire them first. One piece!
Qin Ziqiang didn't say a word this time. He was already ready to die anyway, and he would have earned it if he could live a little longer.
In this way, Li Liangzi and Zhang Yong chatted about each other, and Qin Ziqiang only occasionally said a word.
It was impossible for them to rush down the mountain, and it was impossible for the Japanese army to rush up to attack. More than half an hour passed, and the enemy and we were actually at peace with each other.
But how long will this situation last? The three of them knew that if they persisted for another two or three hours on the mountain, it would be dark that day, but didn't the Japanese army know that?
