Chapter 417 The Qualities of Veterans
"Er Hanzi, Guan Tie Dou, and keep three more with rifles!
When the Japanese in the woods shoot, you can give them some ruthlessness!
Others run forward with me, be careful!" Shang Zhen ordered with the cover of a ridge.
The height of the ridge was only as high as the knee, and Shang Zhen and the others could only crawl forward.
But even so, after they climbed forward for more than twenty meters, the ridge was gone, but the advantage of the geographical advantage was already occupied by the Japanese army in the woods. There was no way, who told them to be quick?
"Qian Chuan'er, Chen Hanwen, Uncle Wang's cover, the others rushed behind the firewood pile!" Shang Zhen ordered again, but he himself stayed.
Although there are not many Japanese cavalrymen, there are only a dozen people.
But this Japanese army was also very cunning. It was obvious that they had just seen the Japanese cavalry ambushed by them. They abandoned their horses and hid in the dark. If Shang Zhen and the others wanted to retreat to the distance, they had to risk shooting behind their butts!
"Prepare, fight!" Shang Zhen shouted. He, Qian Chuan, Wang Laomao, and Chen Hanwen, leaned out from behind the ridge at the same time. The flower opportunity in his hand rang out, and the others got up and ran forward desperately.
The woods were more than one hundred meters away from them.
The trees hidden by the Japanese army were much more ideal than their ridge. Shang Zhen and others did not see where the Japanese army had hidden.
But in order to cover most people running west, they had to fire their guns to distract the Japanese army in the woods, otherwise the others who had already rushed to the open ground would become the targets of the Japanese army!
If he had four people to cover him, he had five people arranged to cover him in front of him. There were so many people who were covering him, nearly one-third of them.
But Shang Zhen felt that the Japanese brigade would have to wait for a while to catch up. Of course, he didn't want anyone to suffer casualties on his own. There were only about 30 people in his group, and his life was precious!
Many people think that they are young, so who can be the battalion commander and who can be the brigade commander is not.
But Shang Zhen did not think this way. He felt annoyed that he was a senior official. Now he had more than thirty people in charge of the company commander. He felt that there were too many people.
The reason is that Shang Zhen was soft-hearted and he couldn't stand someone who was injured or killed on his head.
Every day, everyone is struggling together like a brother, and if anyone is killed in battle, he will be flashed in his heart.
He understood that fighting the Japanese would definitely not be able to fight with him without a partner, but if there were too many people, it would be too difficult for him to save everyone's lives!
Sure enough, as soon as Shang Zhen and his friends fired, the gunshots in the woods opposite also started.
Although some Japanese bullets hit the ridge in front of Shang Zhen and others, some bullets hit the feet of many soldiers running westward.
Qiu Bo felt a bullet fly by himself with a "whizz" sound, and he was almost hit by the Japanese army.
Qiu Bo was also a veteran. Just as he realized that the bullets were flying by, he suddenly shouted, "Look down and shoot!"
To be honest, everyone knows that it is inevitable that someone will be shot when they run like this, so in Qiu Bo's shouting, everyone really "sweeps" and they all fell to the ground.
And at this time, bullets flew past their bodies.
This is because they are lying down. If they don’t lie down, there will be no more shots, but there will always be three or four!
And at this moment, the other two silly boys, Guan Tiedou's machine gun and the three soldiers' rifles also rang.
Why did Shang Zhen leave those five people on the other end of the ridge? That was waiting for the Japanese army in the woods to emerge!
Although Shang Zhen made the decision only happened in an instant, he had already thought about it from the psychological perspective of the Japanese army.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, their Chinese army is not large, and the Japanese brigade will definitely catch up soon. So the Chinese army will run away to death?
It was precisely because of the Japanese army that he left Erhanzi Guan Tiedou and the other five on the other end of the ridge.
When the Japanese army in the woods saw that they rushed out from one end of the ridge, they naturally did not expect that Shang Zhen and they hid others at the end of the ridge.
Shang Zhen and his team shot and covered the "exit" of the ridge, which was actually blind shooting, in order to increase the deterrence of the Japanese army in the woods.
This situation is like when the troops break through, the machine gunner will also shoot while shooting.
But at that time, it was impossible to say that the machine gunner could hit the bullets right!
So how can machine guns be so easy to fight? If the machine gun is so easy to fight, why do you need the legs under the machine gun?
Raise the gun and shoot it to break through to create a psychological deterrence for the enemies surrounding you.
But the five people from Erhanzi Guan Tiedou were different.
They also knew the reason why Shang Zhen left them there. Wasn't that just waiting for the Japanese army to emerge?
Otherwise, the quality of soldiers is very important, and veterans are very precious?
The situation is so urgent, Shang Zhen cannot explain the purpose of leaving the five of them so clearly. It depends on the five of them to understand it themselves.
Qualified soldiers are naturally not afraid of death, but soldiers who are not afraid of death may not be qualified!
And Er Hanzi, who has experienced many battles, is also a veteran.
So when the Japanese army in the woods began to shoot at Shang Zhen and others to reveal their bodies.
Erhanzi shouted "Battle" in a muffled voice, and their two light machine guns and three rifles rang out at the same time.
The enemy and us are more than 100 meters away, and the Japanese army can shoot guns very accurately. What's the difference between machine gunners and rifles like Erhanzi Guan Tiedou? What's more, they have experienced nearly a year of special training.
So, as soon as Erhanzi and his friends fired their machine guns, the gunshots of the Japanese army in the woods were sparse at that time, and there were not many Japanese soldiers, so there were not as many of them!
At this time, Qiu Bo and his friends also fired the gun.
The power of all the flower mechanisms is different from the row of guns fired by rifles.
Just as the gunshots of "he, he, he," and "thump" were heard, the Japanese army was hiding in the woods and was beaten with colorful leaves!
"Let's go, retreat quickly!" Shang Zhen shouted.
This time Shang Zhen and the others really put away their guns and started running westward.
I don’t know how many Japanese troops in the woods were killed by them or even a few left, probably they were afraid of being beaten. After all, no bullets flew over from behind their butts.
After running forward for a while, Shang Zhen reached a high point and looked back, he saw that the Japanese brigade had already passed the woods but they were all staying on the road.
Since they are still a little far away, they look like a yellow worm from afar.
"Stop!" Shang Zhen said.
He began to observe the movements of the Japanese army again, and saw that there were not a thousand Japanese troops, but they were almost the same. It should be a brigade, with carriages pulling supplies behind them.
At this time, a Japanese army was separated from the brigade, and it seemed that there was a squadron's force coming in his own direction.
Although Shang Zhen had previously raided and reconnaissed on the highway, he had just met the Japanese army and ran back. Only then did he know how many troops this Japanese army had.
"That's all. We have too few people after all, so it's good to be able to pull out a squadron.
"Xiaohu, go back and report to Commander Lu. A brigade has arrived in the Japanese army. We have led a squadron of the Japanese army. I don't know when it can be dragged!" Shang Zhen ordered.
Xiaohu was his newly appointed correspondent.
