Chapter 43 Running away
The third brother was also dead. Shang Zhen couldn't help but froze for a moment when he looked at Li Fushun's eyes that were still open in a daze.
Should I cry loudly? Should I pick up a machine gun and shoot at the Japanese army?
Of course Shang Zhen also thought about what he would do if his third brother Li Fushun died?
This is not a taboo issue. When he and Li Fushun were together, Li Fushun said this.
But at this time, Shang Zhen suddenly realized that he was not as sad as he imagined because he had no time to be sad.
Bullets were chirping next to them, which was the sound of bullets entering the ground. In front of them was a khaki figure rushing forward with a Type 38 rifle with a bayonet attached.
"Run!" At this time, a soldier got up from the ground, shouted to Shang Zhen, and ran deep into the woods.
At this moment, Shang Zhen's mind was blank. He reached out and pulled off the bullet belt from Li Fushun, turned around, bent down, and ran deep into the woods.
Bullets were still flying around them. Some bullets hit the branches, and the yellowing leaves fell down, but they were left behind by the footsteps of Shang Zhen and the others.
At this time, Shang Zhen, who decided to run for his life, realized that there seemed to be only five or six people running back together!
Shang Zhen had no time to be shocked by the heavy casualties. Perhaps subconsciously, it was because he was a new soldier. Maybe this was how fighting was.
Wanting to escape, Shang Zhen finally calmed down while running. Then he turned around and ran to the west. At the same time, he shouted: "Run to the west, running to the south is a dead end!"
When Shang Zhen shouted like this, the few people who were running ahead of him instinctively turned around and ran to the west.
The person who was running at the front turned too sharply and hit a small tree, making a loud crashing sound.
That person is Hou Kanshan.
"How do you know?" A soldier caught up with Shang Zhen and asked.
Shang Zhen turned to look at the soldier and saw that he was about the same age as himself, and there was another soldier running beside him.
It's just that Shang Zhen didn't recognize these two soldiers. It was obvious that they were not from his own company, but the two soldiers who finally escaped from the first company.
Shang Zhen ignored the soldier's question and ran forward.
It's not that Shang Zhen doesn't want to speak, it's just that he really doesn't have time to speak, and he also knows that he shouldn't speak now.
Shang Zhen's body is actually as thin and slender as the veterans nicknamed him "Ma Gan'er".
Although his endurance has always been good, it is difficult for a person who is too thin to carry things. Now he is carrying two guns and two bullet bags.
The soldier knew that his question was in vain. In the end, he exchanged glances with his companion and chose to believe Shang Zhen and ran along.
After Shang Zhen and others ran seventy or eighty meters, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they rushed out of the woods into an open area.
But it was obvious that Shang Zhen really knew the terrain. He then ran forward. Fifty or sixty meters ahead, there was a small hill. The hillside was full of green, and there were hazel bushes.
On the other hand, looking to the south, it is an open area of 200 to 300 meters.
If they really ran that way, then when they were running on the open ground, the Japanese army rushed out of the woods, how many of them would be left?
Based on what the remaining Northeastern Army members know about Japanese marksmanship, there is no way they can escape within a distance of 200 to 300 meters.
It is said that bullets do not have eyes, but the Japanese army’s marksmanship is very good. The Japanese army’s bullets really do have eyes!
Soldiers at the lowest level like Shang Zhen and others only knew that their opponent was the Japanese Kwantung Army.
And they, including the entire Northeastern Army, only got to know each other after fighting against Nikkei after the September 18th Incident.
Little did they know that the Japanese Kwantung Army was the most elite force in the Japanese army, and the accuracy of its Type 38 rifles was beyond what their Northeastern Army could match.
The reason why Shang Zhen is familiar with the terrain here is because he has been practicing aiming with his gun pointed outside in the woods for the past two days.
Naturally, he didn't wait for the Japanese soldiers who killed Gazi, and he didn't know how good his marksmanship was, but he remembered the terrain.
Shang Zhen and the others walked around the hill panting.
With the barrier of the hill, Shang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he notice that there were only five people who finally ran behind the hill.
Three of these five people were from their company, including himself, Hou Kanshan, and Chen Hanwen, while the other two were the two soldiers from the first company.
The five people looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
Not only the people in the company on the top of the mountain were dying, but also the people in their company who were blocking the attack in the woods were all dead. These Japanese were really ferocious!
Of course, there may be some of our own people who will survive on the battlefield, but how many of them will survive and whether they will be able to get together in the end is still unknown.
A total of the remaining five people saw the fear in their eyes, and this fear turned into a common fear, and they continued to run forward.
Running here doesn't mean it's safe. The Japanese troops will definitely be chasing us.
The Japanese army was neither stupid nor stupid. Seeing that there was no one in the open field to the south, how could they not pursue them this way?
At this time, the remaining four people discovered the advantage of the escape direction chosen by Shang Zhen. Although the hills here were not high, only as high as one person, they were quite close and could always cover their bodies.
.
In this case, although the Japanese army could detect that they were escaping in this direction, they would not be able to see them clearly. Even if the Japanese army had excellent marksmanship, they would not be able to hit them.
No matter whether you are panting or sweating like rain, if you can escape with your life, it will be worth it!
But just when they ran over the fourth hill, their good use ran out.
Because there are no longer hills ahead, but it has become an open space of more than 300 meters.
At the end of the open area are patches of woods, and at the far end of the woods are lush green mountains.
Seeing that the front became an open space again, everyone was stunned for a moment, but their subsequent reactions were different.
Without even thinking about it, Hou Kanshan jumped out like a monkey, and Chen Hanwen also ran out.
But after Chen Hanwen ran a few steps, he found that the footsteps behind him had stopped. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Shang Zhen and two other soldiers standing there.
Panting, Chen Hanwen turned his head back again. He wanted to call Hou Kanshan, but he felt it was inappropriate.
They kept running forward without even looking back to see if the Japanese army had caught up with them. Don't yell at them to attract the Japanese army!
Chen Hanwen hesitated for a moment and finally went to chase Hou Kanshan.
At this time, Shang Zhen was exchanging glances with the other two soldiers.
Although they are strangers to each other, their choices are the same.
One of the soldiers who was talking to Shang Zhen in the woods turned around and ran towards the hill. Then he lay down and looked back.
Shang Zhen turned around and ran to the other side of the hill.
The third soldier was the most interesting. He had lost all his guns at this time, but he had a grenade. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled a grenade off his waist, and then he went to the top of the hill.
