The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1696 The wall fell down!

The old man hunched over and ran back.

It feels very strange for a tall man like Big Boss to run with his waist hunched low. It definitely looks like a prawn from the side.

But this doesn't stop the old man from running fast.

The old idiot went back to report the news to his own people in accordance with Shang Zhen's order. He must not shoot at those bandits unless it is absolutely necessary!

Here, after Shang Zhen discovered that bandits were coming from the opposite side, he suddenly realized that the bandits should be fleeing when they came.

Then the bandits would probably set fire to the food they had accumulated before escaping.

However, the ones who burned the food should be other bandits, such as those who were injured and unable to go down the mountain, especially those who climbed down the rope from the back mountain.

And it is impossible for the bandits to set fire to the house the moment before they escape. In that case, the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain will be aware of the flames on the mountain, and they will attack the mountain from the front without any scruples.

In that case, even if the bandits run away, the food they have accumulated will be obtained by the Japanese and puppet troops.

How could the bandits tolerate such a thing unless they surrender!

Therefore, the bandits' plan was to take advantage of the moonlight to sneak down the back mountain and escape, while the remaining bandits who could not move would set fire to their food later, or of course, wait until dawn, in which case there would be no delay.

Of course, Shang Zhen couldn't tell Big Laoban in such detail, and he didn't have time to tell him in such detail when the incident happened suddenly.

But he could guess what the bandit was thinking after just a moment's thought.

Who calls him Shang Zhen? What he is best at is empathy.

The old man walked back. Shang Zhen had already squatted down under the cover of the shrub branches.

But he only squatted down for a moment, and then he used the cover of the branches of the bush to reach out and pry the branches again.

He couldn't hide behind the branches of these bushes and it was too late to retreat.

Although he didn't know how those bandits came from this area which was more like a patch of bushes than a ditch, he could imagine that the bandits must have some tricks up their sleeves.

And if he shot the bandits now, there would be no need for him to send the old fool back just now.

So, always quick-witted but daring to take risks, when he opened the branches of the bush in front of him and looked down, he saw that there was still a place to stand in the pit in front of him, at least there was no sign in the pit in front of his feet. It's so dense, and the pit is not very deep and is less than one person tall.

You can go down by yourself!

Just do it, Shang Zhen held the edge of the pit and quietly sat up. He first stretched his legs down, then glanced at his feet and confirmed that there were no thorns underneath, and then Sneaked away.

It landed perfectly and made no sound.

No matter how bright the moon is on the 15th day, it is still night after all, and I don’t know how many bandits are left. Shang Zhen took out the box of cannons with one hand and pulled out his bayonet with the other, put it behind his back and started quietly listen.

Yesterday, the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain fought with the bandits on the mountain for a whole day. The fighting stopped at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

According to the report from the observation post sent by Shang Zhen, Japanese and puppet troops were pulling back the wounded in horse-drawn carriages. There were about twenty or thirty people.

As for the number of Japanese soldiers killed, Shang Zhen and the others couldn't count them if they couldn't go further.

However, after thinking about it, the Japanese and puppet troops probably did not expect that the attack on a small Baiyungu would cost dozens of casualties, of course, including the less than ten Japanese and puppet troops who were assassinated by Shang Zhen and the others.

Correspondingly, the casualties suffered by the bandits will never be small.

The bandits' weapons were definitely not as good as those of the Japanese army, not to mention that the Japanese and puppet troops later used grenades.

According to Qian Chuan'er and Gao Xiaocui's information, there are more than 200 bandits on the mountain.

Come to think of it, the bandits thought that they could withstand this attack by the Japanese and puppet troops by relying on the favorable geographical location.

But Shang Zhen knew that once a group of bandits like them, even if they were fierce bandits, were targeted to death by the Japanese and puppet troops, how could they survive?

Shang Zhen guessed that one of the reasons why the bandits did not abandon their nest and flee was that this was the bandit's lair. Bandits like Niu Hai'er had been operating here for several years. Baiyun Gushang must have stored the things they robbed. A lot of supplies and food.

In today's China, no matter who it is, food is extremely precious. What about the stored grain left over from last year or even the year before? The food is definitely not as delicious as the new food from that year, but it is life-saving food after all.

The second reason why the bandits did not abandon their nest and flee should be related to the vision, insight and character of the leader of the bandits, that is, Niu Boyer.

Shang Zhen was sure to agree that the boy was definitely not a particularly knowledgeable person.

Just imagine, if a person is particularly knowledgeable, how can he make enemies everywhere and only care about the "grass" around his nest, but dare not provoke the Eighth Route Army, the National Army, or the Japanese!

No matter which group of forces wants to destroy your little bandits, as long as they are careful, they will be destroyed sooner or later!

A bandit who has never seen the world thinks that he is the best in the world on his own one-third of an acre. Isn't that nonsense?

I think back then that young marshal felt that his Northeast Army was still the best in the world. During the Central Plains War, it was he who led his men out to mediate with force.

But so what?

Didn't we lose the Battle of the Chinese Eastern Railway to the Russians, and we suffered a terrible defeat? And after the September 18th Incident, we followed someone to encircle and suppress the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, but ended up having two divisions wiped out by the Red Army.

It was only after this that he felt remorse for losing his old nest, launched the incident, and formed an organization to provide weapons and supplies to the anti-Japanese volunteers staying in the Northeast.

During the Battle of Songhu, the national army still felt that they were very awesome! Warlords and princes from all walks of life gathered in Shanghai with their troops, thinking that they could drive the Japanese devils into the sea.

But as a result, it is right to say that the battle was fierce and we prevented the Japanese aggressors from planning to destroy China in three months.

But it is meaningless from the perspective of battle victory. After all, the Songhu Battle was lost, and Wu Keyong, the commander of the Northeast Army, died on the battlefield.

So you are such a little bandit, who do you think you are? In the eyes of the big forces, you are just a bug that can be crushed with a little finger!

Bedbugs don’t have the consciousness of bedbugs, so they don’t have the awareness to do it themselves!

And it is undeniable that Shang Zhen could also guess that the cow boy must be a capable and ruthless person among these bandits, but he was also a person who would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, otherwise how could he control this group of bandits? ?

As Shang Zhen listened, the sound of scraping branches became louder and louder.

The bandits didn't come quickly. Apparently, the bandits were afraid of accidentally falling into the pit, and the bamboo sticks and wooden sticks in the pit were used to wear themselves like toads!

Shang Zhen heard that the voice was diagonally in front of him, and he knew it.

As long as the way the bandits go to the top of the mountain is a little further away from them, the possibility of them discovering them will be even lower!

The sounds made by the bandits got closer and closer, and finally passed through more than thirty meters away from Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen waited for the enemy with bated breath, but in the end there was no accident. The bandits finally climbed up through the deep pit with sticks and bushes.

Based on Shang Zhen's experience, he estimated that the number of bandits should be about fifty or sixty. Sure enough, the bandits suffered heavy losses in the daytime battle.

In the middle of Shang Zhen's thoughts, there was the sound of thumping footsteps.

After all, the bandits are from the land, so they naturally know that there is no mechanism between the stone wall and the deep pit.

I don't know how my veterans will deal with these bandits. Should they hide aside and wait for the bandits to cut off the rope when they climb down the rope, or what?

It's best not to shoot. If you shoot, the bandits left at the foot of the mountain will definitely set fire to burn their food!

Shang Zhen thought to himself, but now he had no choice but to leave the outcome of the battle to his companions.

How about moving forward now? Try to control those bandits on the mountain before they burn their food?

Shang Zhen hesitated for a moment but chose to stay put.

Forget it, this deep pit is too close to the stone wall. It's impossible for me to reach the granary before the battle starts, so I'd better wait.

Just when Shang Zhen moved to turn around and climb out of the pit, he suddenly heard a "coaxing" sound!

The sound sounded so dull in the quiet night that Shang Zhen felt the ground tremble, and then Shang Zhen heard a scream!

At this moment, he couldn't help but jumped up and grabbed the edge of the pit, rolled over and lay on the ground, looking up at the way he came.

But in fact he didn't see anything, it seemed like there was dust under the moonlight.

After Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, he suddenly reached out and smashed it on the ground!

He understands what's going on!

Well done to my companions! They didn't have the rope to hold the bandits down the mountain, but they knocked down the stone wall that was supposed to be used to deal with intruders from the back mountain!

Those large and small stones rolled down the mountain, so how could the bandits who were climbing down the mountain along the ropes possibly get them? !
