Chapter Four Seven Nine: Autumn Harvest and Winter Collection 37
Regarding the Japanese's raid, the people in the base area have also summarized some rules. Regarding the difference between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese, the people all said: When the Japanese come, the wind swept the floor, and when the Eighth Route Army comes, the water floods the floor.
The Japanese soldiers were very fierce. Every time they came, they burned, killed, robbed, and committed all kinds of evil. However, they lacked enough troops and could only defend the main towns. Therefore, they usually left quickly after they came. Even if they left some traitors, these traitors were quickly eliminated by the Eighth Route Army who were beaten back. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers were like a gust of wind. In addition to leaving behind the ruins after the burn, the Japanese were left in two days later...
But the Eighth Route Army is different. In addition to the army, the Eighth Route Army also has local governments, militias and various anti-Japanese organizations. Among ordinary people, there are countless fortress households and anti-Japanese households. These people are all firm supporters of the Eighth Route Army, which is enough to show the power of the Eighth Route Army's mass work.
When the Eighth Route Army arrived in a place, it was like water flooding the earth. This piece of water didn't seem to be very powerful, but it quickly penetrated into the earth and merged with the soil-like people. Since then, the Eighth Route Army has taken root and sprouted here, and the anti-Japanese situation has flourished. Therefore, the image of the people is called "The Eighth Route Army has come flooding the earth."
Jin Erling went down the mountain in the evening, and he had his own reasons for choosing to go down the mountain at this time.
The Japanese exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army three days ago. According to the general situation, the Japanese stayed in the village for at most one night and caused trouble. They should have left here the next morning. If there were puppet troops or Xuanfu teams behind the Japanese, these two Japanese would never dare to be too far from the main force of the Japanese. They should have left before the next night. It is already the third day, and the village should be empty. Jin Erlen believes that it is time to go back to the village to dig out food and start a new life.
The leaves in winter have all fallen. Standing on the hillside and looking down, the village at the foot of the mountain is very peaceful, there is no figure walking around, and there is no smoke from cooking, and the village is silent under the setting sun. Jin Erlen knew that the transferred villagers had not come back yet, and there were no Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the village at this time. It should be safe to go back now.
A cold wind blew over, and Jin Erlen couldn't help but shrink his neck. He carried the rifle on his back, inserted his hands into his sleeves, and faced the afterglow of the sunset, he slowly went down the mountain and walked towards his own home.
The closer he was to the village, the more blocked Jin Erlen's vision was. Just as he walked leisurely towards home, a group of people came to the other side of the village, in the direction where his eyes were blocked. These people were wearing yellow military uniforms, carrying big guns, leading mules and horses to drive big carts. These people turned out to be puppet troops carrying food, grass and ammunition to Iijima.
Iijima's fast troops were really excited very quickly. This also shows that Liu Zhenghong, who was fighting with them, was acting more quickly. Iijima's rapid advancement made the puppet troops who were slowly following the pace, so they were left behind for a day or two. Fortunately, Iijima's attention is all on Liu Zhenghong. Iijima has no time to care about these delayed puppet troops.
However, this happened to be cheaper for the puppet army. Apart from those hard-core traitors, these puppet troops basically came to make a living. They were unwilling to lose their lives in wars. Such slow marches were exactly what they wanted.
Jin Erlen's three thatched houses were not in the village, but under a big locust tree at the north end of the village. To return to his home, he had to turn around the village. Just as he walked around the village, he suddenly found that a group of people appeared not far away, and these people were puppet soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms.
Jin Erlen, who was unconscious, was stunned for a moment. He stood there and stared at the group of people. The puppet army did not expect that a person suddenly appeared in this lifeless village. The man had a white towel on his head, black clothes and black pants, and a gun on his back.
"Eighth Route Army!" A puppet army suddenly reacted. He shouted hysterically.
This voice woke everyone up. The power of the Eighth Route Army was extraordinary. Just this voice, the puppet soldiers were scrambling their guns and holding their heads, and they were in chaos.
This voice also woke Jin Erlen up. He turned his gun from his shoulder and pulled the bolt like a conditioned reflex to push the fire, then pulled the trigger casually. "Bang"! A bullet flew out of the muzzle and shot it into the yellow Huhu crowd!
Jin Erlen's series of actions were not delayed at all. People who didn't know about it thought he was an old veteran. In fact, Jin Erlen's actions were so clean and neat, which was completely the result of his self-study.
Jin Erlen likes guns and gets his own guns, but he has never joined the militia, and no one has taught him military knowledge. All his military skills are learned from militia training on the threshing ground.
This place is closest to the enemy and puppet, and is often a tug-of-war zone between the enemy and us. In order to strengthen the military skills of local armed forces, the Eighth Route Army sent a squad leader with combat experience to conduct strict training of local militias.
The training location is either on the threshing ground or in the open spaces near the village. The training content is nothing special, that is, some individual tactics and simple squad-platoon combat tactics. This kind of training is basically open. When militia train, there are often some villagers watching, and Jin Erling is also one of the onlookers. Jin Erling learned some military knowledge from these intermittent public teachings.
Jin Erlang has always lived in the strange eyes of others. Now that no one is willing to accept him, the more he wants to make himself better than others. After learning some military knowledge secretly, Jin Erlang practiced repeatedly at home and in the field. In this way, Jin Erlang's individual tactical actions are really good.
Faced with so many puppet troops, Jin Erlang was not so arrogant that he could resist so many enemies alone. After firing a shot, Jin Erlang did not stop. He pulled the gun and turned around and ran out of the village. However, Jin Erlang did not escape in a straight line, but retreated along the "Zhi"-shaped route according to the method taught by the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, relying on the favorable terrain.
Just as Jin Erling turned around and ran for a short distance, the gunshots behind him rang. However, the puppet army's shooting skills were too smelly. Jin Erling heard the sound of ping-pong sounds, and there were really not many bullets that could hit the side.
Although Jin Erlang had his own gun and had 100 bullets, he really cherished the bullets too much. Under normal circumstances, he just held an empty gun and aimed according to the instructor's practice. Only two shots were actually fired. Practice was one thing, and firing real ammunition was another thing. The shot that Jin Erlang just fired was actually in panic. He just shot a shot with many puppet soldiers. His original intention was to scare the puppet army, and he did not expect to really hit anything. But just this random shot made Jin Erlang's reputation.
When Jin Erlang suddenly appeared, he felt even more frightened by the puppet soldiers. A stout young man, dressed in a peasant dress and a shiny steel gun. The puppet soldiers who had dealt with the Eighth Route Army many times thought this was a typical militia image.
Since a militia appeared like this, there must be a large army nearby! The puppet soldiers were panicked, and some people were pulling guns and bolts. More puppet troops rushed to the side of the road. At this moment, they were the most needed to find a place to save their lives.
But at this moment, the bullet fired by Jin Erlang flew over. The bullet did not hit anyone directly, but flew a little higher, just hitting the bayonet on the rifle in the hand of a puppet army!
With a "double" sound, the high-speed bullet immediately broke the bayonet. While breaking the bayonet, the bullet also changed direction and accidentally hit the head of the puppet army platoon leader who was looking for a hiding place. The broken bayonet did not stop, and the broken half blade flew in the air, and finally hit the neck of a puppet army!
Jin Erlang ran in front, and there were puppet soldiers behind him, and the more gunshots were, the faster Jin Erlang ran. However, the puppet soldiers' shooting skills were really ordinary. When Jin Erlang ran out of their range, they didn't even get a piece of Jin Erlang's skin.
Jin Erlang ran farther and farther away, and soon became a small black dot. But just as he met him, someone in the puppet army recognized him: "Jin Erlang, isn't that Jin Erlang?"
In fact, there are not many people in the puppet army who know Jin Erling, mainly because many of these puppet army are local people, and Jin Erling is also a very famous mixed man in the local area. Therefore, it is not uncommon for some people in the puppet army to know Jin Erling.
Although someone recognized Jin Erlang, there was only Jin Erlang in front of him, but no puppet army was chasing Jin Erlang. Jin Erlang is now a typical Tu Eighth Route Army dress. Since he dares to appear alone, who can guarantee that Jin Erlang is really alone? If the Tu Eighth Route Army really came in groups, if the puppet army really chased Jin Erlang, who can guarantee that they would not fall into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army? When Jin Erlang disappeared from the eyes of everyone, it was also the moment when the puppet army shouted and treated their partners urgently.
Jin Erlang, who was running out of sight, really didn't expect that the shot that he could not even aim when he was nervous actually made him famous in the future.
Jin Erlang never thought that his bullet that had lost his correct head actually broke a bayonet. The bullet blocked by the bayonet continued to fly and hit the head of the puppet army platoon leader. The platoon leader even failed to even shout and died! What's even more amazing is that the broken bayonet was inserted into the neck of a puppet army next to him.
From then on, a myth began to spread in the local area, that is, Jin Erlang is not a second-rate man, but an eighth-way sharpshooter. His shooting skills are not only a hundred shots, but also Jin Erlang also has a magical skill, that is, he can hit two people with one shot like a candied haws!
