The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1818 Killing the Enemy in the Field

A carriage crashed out of the wheat field.

The horse was stumbling as it ran, and the empty cart it was pulling was bumping along behind it, except that there was no one on the cart.

After running forward for a few dozen meters, the horse ran slower and slower and finally fell down, so the carriage also fell over.

Of course the horse fell because of the Japanese shooting.

  Since the two sides were quite far apart, the Japanese army saw from afar a horse-drawn carriage in the wheat field, which was like a fish breaking through the waves in the water and running towards the depths of the wheat field. So what else could the Japanese army shoot if not the horse?

This horse was really tenacious. The Japanese soldiers' shooting was very accurate and the horse had more than one gunshot wound.

But the bullet hit none of the vital parts and did not injure any of the bones, so the horse ran desperately.

By the time it rushed out of the wheat field, most of the blood in its body had flowed out.

So once it fell down, it could never get up again. The only thing it could do was to stretch its neck and let out a helpless and low neigh.

"It's a good horse, but it got shot for us." Cheng Peng, who was hiding in the dark and watching, sighed.

Qian Chuaner, who was next to Cheng Peng, said "yes".

The horse died in this way because of Qian Chuaner's idea.

When planning this ambush, Cheng Peng meant that they should shoot at the Japanese army behind the wormwood field in front, then run back, run across the open space here, and then get on the carriage and continue running.

Qian Chuan'er's idea was to hide the carriage in the wheat field. They hid between the wheat field and the wormwood.

When they retreated, they ran behind the wormwood, and he hid in the wheat field, so he stabbed him in the horse's butt with a bayonet.

The advantage of this is that the horse pulling the cart will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese army, and they can escape calmly.

And now the facts prove that Qianchuaner’s method is better.

Now they have hidden behind a bush, and if they want to run now, they can completely disappear from the sight of the Japanese army.

But at this point Cheng Peng refused to run away.

The reason he just told Qian Chuan'er was that we had only fired three rounds of bullets in total, the casualties caused to the Japanese army were too small, and the delay time was too short.

If everyone continues to fight like us, it is only a matter of time before the Japanese invaders break into Shuiquan Town.

The reason Pengpeng gave was so convincing that Qian Chuaner simply couldn't refuse.

But Cheng Peng himself knew that in his subconscious, he was unwilling but also wanted to perform well.

He said he was unwilling to give in because when he shot the Japanese officer, he only knocked down the man's horse.

Although the life or death of the Japanese officer was unknown, he knew that falling off a horse might not necessarily lead to death. Perhaps he would only break an arm or a leg.

He said he wanted to perform well because he was currently the highest-ranking officer besides Shang Zhen.

  Now all ambush groups have a strength of about one squad. If I can't do better than other ordinary squads, how can I show my ability and prove that I am worthy of being the company commander?

So Cheng Peng decided to launch a second ambush on the Japanese army!

He just didn't believe that the Japanese army wouldn't catch up with them. Even if the Japanese army couldn't catch up with them, they would still have to look at the carriage.

So he had already planned to give the order. He wanted his squad of soldiers to disperse and form a semi-encirclement of the carriage.

Aren't you little devil here to see the carriage? Then I'm in my ambush and I'm going to kill you again!

At this time, Cheng Peng saw that the Japanese army had not caught up yet, and Qian Chuan'er just lowered his head and said nothing. He felt complacent.

Shang Zhen was well-known for his ability to fight in the 113th Division, and even Cheng Peng admired him very much.

So he cannot be compared with Shang Zhen, but he can be compared with the old soldiers that Shang Zhen has always led, such as Qian Chuaner in front of him.

He thought to himself, we all know that you veterans are brave and careful and can run, so what? You must be convinced by my plan for a second ambush this time!

But at this moment, Qian Chuan'er suddenly looked up at him and said, "Captain Cheng, I have an idea. I wonder if it will work?"

"It must work! Everyone knows that Qian Chuan'er's ideas are all good ideas." You see, Cheng Peng was thinking about it, but his answer to Qian Chuan'er came out without thinking.

So, this also shows from another perspective that we should not say that people from Northeast China are simple-minded!

"Captain Cheng, what do you think will happen if we set a fire to the Japanese?" Qian Chuan'er said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Cheng Peng was stunned when he heard Qian Chuan'er say that. He glanced at the wheat field in front of him.

Although the wheat ears have been cut, the countless wheat stalks are still there, swaying gently in the wind, but they look a little different from a normal wheat field.

Cheng Peng's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

Today's wind was a side wind in the direction of their escape and the direction of the Japanese army's pursuit. It was blowing from the direction of the wheat field towards the wormwood.

Although the wind was not very strong, if they set fire from the upwind direction, the Japanese devils hiding in the wheat field would definitely be smoked out. However, these people were diagonally in front of the wheat field, which was also the downwind direction. The Japanese soldiers who were smoked out of the wheat field would run right into their guns!

"I just don't know if it's too late now." Qian Chuan'er said again.

"It's still not too late to do it!" Cheng Peng said angrily.

"You two, hurry back to the upwind side and set fire to the wheat field. You know how we burn the fields in autumn? You have to set fire in groups!" Cheng Peng pointed at the two soldiers beside him, and then said, "The rest of you, disperse. Shoot the Japanese as soon as they come out of the wheat field!"

The two soldiers answered "yes" without hesitation, bent over with their guns, and ran to the left under the cover of the bushes.

The Japanese troops behind must have been chasing the carriage.

Although it was impossible for the Japanese army to run as fast as that horse, Cheng Peng and his men were now about a hundred meters away from the wheat field.

Then the two soldiers would have to go around to the upwind side of the Japanese army to set fire, and they would probably be discovered by the Japanese soldiers rushing out of the wheat field to chase the horses during the detour.

In that case, their ambush plan would fail.

So Cheng Peng's plan was to open fire as soon as the Japanese soldiers showed up in the wheat field, thus attracting their attention. At the same time, the Japanese soldiers would have nowhere to go and would naturally hide in the wheat field.

Once the upwind vent is set on fire, the smoke will go to the downwind vent, and the Japanese will have to come out of the wheat field. Thinking of this, Cheng Peng ordered the machine gunners of this squad, "You two, quickly make a detour to the right. When the Japanese come out of the wheat field, you can use machine guns to shoot them!"

After Chen Peng assigned the soldiers, he thought about it and felt that there were no more mistakes. Then he complained to Qian Chuan'er, "Why didn't you tell me this idea earlier?"

"I just remembered it, hehe." Qian Chuaner felt a little embarrassed.

After that, no one said anything more. This time, they all put down their rifles and used box guns instead, aiming their guns at the wheat field.

  After a while, they saw wheat stalks shaking, and the Japanese army really appeared!

Originally, Chen Peng planned to put the Japanese soldiers in front of the carriage and then shoot them.

  But it’s no use now. The two soldiers who went to set the fire are making a detour to the upwind side of the Japanese army. They must not be discovered by the Japanese soldiers in the wheat field!

"Hit!" Cheng Peng said as he looked at the increasing number of wheat stalks swaying in the wheat field.
