Chapter 972 Whimsical
"You guys, it's so boring. I'm beating up the cannon in front alone, and none of you go out to look for me?" Half an hour later, Shang Zhen, who had just returned from the front, was dissatisfied with the people on the hill.
the soldiers said.
"Hehe, aren't we thinking that the commander is very capable? Our gang of people went there and did the same thing. That only increased casualties and caused chaos to the commander." Old Qiuzi said with a salivated face.
"Fuck, I guess my old gang thought the same way, otherwise I wouldn't have come here." Shang Zhen said angrily, and his words were met with embarrassed "hehehe"s.
.
Shang Zhen originally planned to withdraw from the hill where the Japanese army was ambushed in front, but he saw that the Japanese tanks only fired at the hill. The tanks neither moved forward nor did the Japanese infantry come over. He then
He stayed there and observed.
In the end, the Japanese tanks did not come over but ran south.
While Shang Zhen and the others were avoiding the tank fire, the gunshots at the other end of the woods were still ringing out frequently, obviously the fighting at the other end had not stopped.
Normally speaking, the Japanese army launched attacks on the Chinese defenders' positions in waves, like a wave, but there was a relative calm between the two attacks.
Shang Zhen was also curious about why the gunshots between the enemy and us were so constant. What kind of combat situation was it between the enemy and us?
However, his wish came true. Before returning from the hill in front, he finally knew what the Japanese tanks were for.
Those two Japanese tanks heading south were naturally participating in the attack, but that was not what Shang Zhen saw, but what he heard.
The tank was rumbling from north to south across the woods from Shang Zhen. If Shang Zhen was not deaf, how could he not hear it?
However, he saw the tanks next, because when the two tanks appeared again, they were already in the woods to the south.
In the telescope, Shang Zhen saw that the two Japanese tanks were ramming into the small trees in the woods that were not very thick.
These two tanks were equipped with guns, and they were obviously much larger than the small Japanese tanks he had seen before, so they broke the thinner trees!
In this way, the view to the southwest from the hill in front was clear. Therefore, through the telescope, Shang Zhen finally saw traces of the Chinese army in the distance.
Moreover, Shang Zhen also saw a corner of the water, where the Chinese army fought in the highlands near the water.
It turns out that the enemy and us should be separated only by a large piece of water. The Japanese army could not attack it, so they kept shooting at the Chinese army across the water!
Thinking of this, Shang Zhen could imagine the scene on the water surface.
There is a piece of water between China and Japan. The width of the water should be about four to five hundred meters, and both enemy and friendly bullets can hit it.
But the water will never be too deep. According to Shang Zhen's estimation, the water may not even reach Bullegail.
Because, if the water was deep, the Japanese army would not have to exchange fire with the Chinese army. They should find ways to get boats and rafts to cross the river.
Precisely because the water was shallow, boats and rafts could not be used, but the Japanese army would never wade through it.
Just imagine, there are dozens of acres of water with no cover on it. If the Japanese army dares to enter the water without any obstruction, it will be a living target!
Perhaps the terrain north of the water was not ideal, so the Japanese army came up with the idea of locating the heavy machine gun positions at the end of the woods, and the two tanks were there to clear obstacles for the heavy machine guns.
As for how the Japanese tanks helped the Japanese army in the battle, Shang Zhen stopped looking at it. It was estimated that the Japanese tanks could only bombard the front and couldn't rush through the water, so he ran back.
When everyone saw that Shang Zhen reproached them all for leaving him alone, but then returned to normal, they knew that Shang Zhen had just said that, so a new topic soon emerged.
"We finally robbed a big guy, let's use the heavy machine gun to give the little devil a few hits!" Big Old Man squatted behind the heavy machine gun, holding the handle of the machine gun with both hands and said with great interest.
"If you want to fight, how should you fight? There are woods blocking it," Ma Erpao said.
"That's not right, then since there are woods blocking it, why did the little Japs bring the heavy machine gun to our place?" At this moment, Li Qingfeng thought of this problem. Of course, he only just thought of it.
"The little devil's tanks broke a lot of trees on our end." Only then did Shang Zhen say.
Everyone said "Oh" in unison, and only then did they understand the reason why the Japanese army moved the heavy machine guns here.
"Japan's industry is still very powerful, so it turns out that this is okay." Some soldiers sighed, but they also lamented the common sentiment of everyone.
There is a special term in later generations called "dimensionality reduction strike". Today, Japan is already an industrialized country. For an agricultural country like China with weak industry and almost no industry, isn't that a dimensionality reduction strike?
However, now that the weapons produced by the so-called Empire of Japan have finally reached the hands of soldiers from agricultural countries, how should they use them?
"How should we do this?" The old man was worried and muttered while touching the heavy machine gun, "We don't have tanks and can't hit the trees, and the little devil is hiding at the other end of the woods, so he can't hit him!"
After a while, he said again: "It would be great if bullets could jump through the woods!"
"You think that bullet has legs and can jump like you!" Li Qingfeng said angrily.
To say that Big Boss is such a nagging person, Li Qingfeng also complained because of Big Boss's naivety.
Unexpectedly, Shang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Theoretically speaking, the bullet can really 'jump' through the woods, but we don't know where it will jump."
"What? Can bullets 'jump' through the woods?" Ma Erpao's eyes widened.
Why doesn't he believe that bullets can bounce through the woods?
When Shang Zhen said this, not only Ma Erpao didn't believe it, but also most of the soldiers didn't believe it.
"When the bullet is fired, the trajectory is straight, right? Then do you think that if the bullet keeps missing people, it will keep flying?" Shang Zhen asked.
"How is that possible?" all the soldiers said in unison.
"The bullets will fall off when they stop flying." Ma Erpao replied.
"Then let's shoot in the sky. As long as we find a good position, will the bullets fly through the woods and fall down?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"Then - it will definitely fall, but -" Ma Erpao replied hesitantly. He felt that what Shang Zhen said was reasonable, but he felt that something was wrong.
"That spot is not easy to find, is it? Sir, can you find it?" Lu Yifei asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know how to look for it. Who knows how far the bullets from the Japs' heavy machine guns will fly before they fall, but what's the point? I know how to cause trouble!" Shang Zhen suddenly laughed.
