The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1817 The Second Attack

"Do you want to kill more Japanese devils?" Cheng Peng asked loudly.

"Yes!" the soldiers with him answered in unison.

Logically speaking, they are now ambushing the Japanese army, and the Japanese scouts on the road are almost reaching the closest point to them.

However, the closest point was about three hundred meters away from them, and Cheng Peng and his squad of soldiers were dispersed relatively far apart under his orders, so even though he spoke a little louder, the Japanese soldiers probably couldn't hear him.

But at this moment, they heard a series of gunshots, "bang", "bang", and "bang", and a bullet penetrated directly into the soil near their hiding place, making a "chi" sound.

"Oh no! We've been discovered!" a soldier shouted.

Everyone tightened their grip on the gun, and the index finger of their right hand hooked onto the trigger.

"No one move!" But at this time Qian Chuaner suddenly shouted.

When Qian Chuan'er shouted like that, the fingers that were originally reaching for the trigger stopped instinctively.

Before Qian Chuan'er could explain why they didn't let everyone move, the Japanese army's gunfire rang out again, and this time it was from a light machine gun.

However, when the Japanese light machine guns sounded, the soldiers relaxed.

The reason was that although the Japanese machine guns fired, the bullets were not fired at where they were ambushing, but at a hundred meters in front of them, because one could see with the naked eye that several puffs of smoke and dust were splashing up there.

"The Japanese are cheating! They are all hidden! No one is allowed to shoot without my order!" Cheng Peng also shouted at this time.

But at the same time, Cheng Peng secretly cried out "shame" in his heart.

When the Japanese scouts fired their guns, he was also shocked.

He also thought that they had been discovered by the Japanese army. After all, the Japanese army now understood their style of fighting, and it was entirely possible that the scouts walking in front could discover them by carefully observing both sides of the road.

But when he noticed that the Japanese army was shooting blindly, it was after Qian Chuaner reminded him, so he realized it belatedly.

Since it was clear that the Japanese were shooting blindly, it was just a false alarm. Everyone calmed down and waited for the Japanese troops to pass by and the Japanese troops behind to come up.

"Hey, if the Japanese soldier accidentally fired a shot and really killed someone, that would be so unlucky!" A soldier glanced at Cheng Peng not far away, and whispered when he saw that Cheng Peng did not notice him.

The battle is about to begin, and the only ones who can still talk nonsense at this time are the soldiers from the Northeast.

Most of the soldiers recruited by Shang Zhen and his camp were from Shandong. Regardless of the temperament and quality of Shandong people, they were definitely not as talkative as people from the Northeast.

"You probably just happened to kill a wild duck by shooting in front of you?" Another old soldier next to him disagreed.

"That's not the case with me, but I was unlucky one time and a bird poop fell from the sky and hit me on the head," said the soldier who started the topic.

"Why doesn't Qiao'er's poop just fall into your mouth? That way you can block your mouth! It's already this late and you're still hesitating!" the companion said angrily.

So the soldier kept silent.

The Japanese scouts walked past, and after a while the Japanese and puppet troops arrived at the point on the road closest to Cheng Peng and his men's ambush.

It is a miserable situation for the Japanese army.

  When they are moving towards a goal, aren't they always arrogant?

The scouts cleared the way in front, and the large group of people behind them included officers riding on tall horses and soldiers carrying guns, walking in a very impressive manner.

But this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were all holding rifles, ready to engage in battle at any time.

  Why is this happening? It's all thanks to the Northeastern soldiers from Shang Zhenying!

As I said, they have better marksmanship than regular troops and have plenty of ammunition, but they choose to fight guerrilla warfare and use sniper weapons, and then run away without a trace after the fight. Anyone would be scared!

The Japanese army's marching speed is not fast now, and it cannot be faster.

The reason was that most of their carriages had been destroyed by Shang Zhen and his men. The remaining carriages had to carry both supplies and wounded soldiers, so they couldn't move very fast.

Everyone was waiting for Cheng Peng's order to shoot.

But Cheng Peng calmly observed with the telescope for a moment, then he put down the telescope and picked up the rifle.

At this time, he already understood.

He aimed his rifle at a Japanese officer riding on a warhorse.

Now all the generals in Shang Zhen's battalion are double-gun generals. Even the battalion commander Shang Zhen is like this, so the company commanders under him must learn. Although Cheng Peng decided to fight for a little longer, he couldn't fight a positional war with the Japanese army. Since he had a telescope, he had to pick a valuable target to fight.

At this time, Cheng Peng did not know that if this Japanese army had not been attacked, it would still take some effort for him to shoot the Japanese officer with a gun.

The reason is that Japanese officers still have guards.

It was just that Chu Tian and his men had almost beaten all the horses pulling the carts, so the Japanese army had no choice but to take away the war horses that were guarding the Japanese officers and use them as horses pulling the carts.

Now, there is only one Japanese officer riding on the horse, so this issue is not involved.

"Follow my orders and take my gunshot as a signal." Cheng Peng said as he aimed his rifle at the Japanese officer on the warhorse.

The rifle in his hand was moving slightly at a speed invisible to the naked eye as the Japanese warhorse advanced.

There is a shooting principle for rifles called aiming intentionally and firing unintentionally.

The soldiers of the Northeast Army at that time might not have been able to describe it so accurately, but they all understood this truth.

Shooting at a target several hundred meters away is a very delicate or micro action.

When a person is still, even the beating of his heart will affect the accuracy of firing the bullet.

So just aim at the target and don't deliberately pull the trigger. Instead, slowly retract the index finger that pulls the trigger during the aiming process.

This can minimize the possibility of the muzzle tremor caused by heartbeat or deliberate movement at the moment of shooting.

"Bang", Cheng Peng's gun went off.

As his gun fired, the soldiers' gunshots naturally also rang out, especially the light machine gun which fired continuously.

Although the Japanese army group behind was also careful, it was a large group after all. The distance between the soldiers was limited, and they were advancing in two columns. In this way, firing continuously would be more effective in killing.

Another sudden but not unexpected attack began. Although some Japanese soldiers were shot, the Japanese and puppet troops on the road all lay down with their guns raised.

However, the puppet soldiers just fired randomly; they did not deliberately aim their rifles at anything.

The puppet army is a puppet army after all.

  When Chu Tian and his men attacked this Japanese puppet army, they didn't even fire a single shot at the puppet soldiers. If it were to be changed into an insult, it would be, why didn't we attack you? Don't you fake foreigners have any idea in your mind?

The Japanese troops on the road naturally opened fire back, and some war horses were also knocked down.

But at this time, Cheng Peng's attention was all on the Japanese officer riding a war horse.

  But who would have thought that Cheng Peng's first shot missed!

After he fired a shot, the Japanese officer quickly pulled in the reins and tried to jump off the horse.

At this time, Cheng Peng quickly pulled the bolt and his second shot fired again.

This time he still missed the target, but the shot hit the horse that the Japanese officer was riding, and the officer fell down with his horse.

My marksmanship is still rusty! Cheng Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cheng Peng's rifle skills were originally quite good, and he was a well-known sharpshooter in their regiment.

However, after he became the company commander, rifles were used less frequently and he basically used 20-shot box cannons instead.

It is said that a good shooter is fed with bullets. As a result, although he was quite good at using the box gun, he was a little unfamiliar with the rifle.

But who is to blame for this?

If Shang Zhen had not become the battalion commander or the original battalion commander, Cheng Peng would basically not use a rifle in battle, because that kind of thing was done by the soldiers, and he would only be responsible for command.

The Japanese counterattack came quickly. Cheng Peng's light machine gun only fired three rounds of bullets before the Japanese soldiers shot bullets in front of them.

Three magazines sounds like a lot of bullets, but including changing the magazine it takes less than a minute!

"Retreat!" Qian Chuaner suddenly shouted in the wheat field.

Following his shout, Cheng Peng also began to shout to retreat and asked them to put down their guns and retreat behind the weeds. But at the same time, a horse suddenly neighed in the wheat field, and then a horse pulled a carriage and galloped towards the depths of the wheat field!
