The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1819 Fireworks to Drive Away the Enemy

Cheng Peng's second ambush really took the Japanese army by surprise.

The Japanese army had become accustomed to it. The Chinese soldiers would fire a row of bullets at them from a distance, killing or injuring three or five of them, and then they would run away.

They would have to send people to chase after him desperately, but of course whether they could catch up was another matter.

But they never expected that the people they were chasing would be ambushed for the second time.

Wheat fields are not like corn fields. Corn fields have to be ridged, and there are always furrows to walk on between two rows of corn.

If people crawl inside the ditch, they will have fewer collisions with corn leaves, and it will be difficult for people outside to notice them.

But planting wheat is like scattering sesame sprouts directly on the ground. It will be densely packed and it will never be possible for it to grow as tall as corn.

So when people move in the wheat field, people outside can see it clearly.

The box guns of Cheng Peng and his gang started to fire "bang bang bang".

The wheat stalks stopped moving when bullets were flying everywhere. It was because the Japanese soldiers hiding among the wheat stalks were hit.

However, the wheat stalks that were originally moving stopped moving, but more wheat stalks began to move, which meant that more Japanese troops were rushing over.

And regardless of whether the Japanese army could see Cheng Peng and his group outside the wheat field, they also started shooting outward.

The terrain was unfavorable to the Japanese army at this time, but they had the advantage in terms of manpower, and they always had to have the firepower deterrence from outside.

Then some Japanese soldiers shouted, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the wheat field did not move. On the contrary, the bullets fired from the wheat field became more and more frequent.

In an instant, bullets flew, grass debris flew everywhere, and wheat stalks were broken one after another as if they had been cut with a sickle.

  In this piece of land, the Chinese army took away the wheat ears on it, but now the Japanese army is not letting go of even the firewood underneath!

"Let's hold on for a while!" Cheng Peng shouted loudly after glancing at his left front.

With just that one glance, he saw the two soldiers he had sent out disappearing in the wheat field in front of him on the left.

"Brother San, let's fight too! I saw the Japanese devils!" At this time, the ammunition man and machine gunner sent by Cheng Peng, who were hiding on the other side of the wheat field, which was downwind of the wind, said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The smoke hasn't even started to rise yet. Are you going to worry about not being able to fire later?" the machine gunner known as number three answered.

Not only the ammunition handlers saw it, but the machine gunners also saw that the wheat was shaking. It was the Japanese army that was trying to rush out from the flank after seeing the stubborn resistance from the Northeast Army in the front.

  But this was far from enough in the eyes of the machine gunner. Looking at the shaking of the wheat, only a few Japanese soldiers appeared.

But it wouldn't be a good idea to just have a few Japanese soldiers come out. If the Japanese soldiers took advantage of Cheng Peng and his men's inattention and shot him a few more times, then with their marksmanship, Cheng Peng and his men would definitely be in danger.

  We have to fight the Japanese devils, but we have to care about the life and death of the company commander!

"You little idiot, do you dare to take my box gun and run over there to shoot at the Japanese to lure them away?" the machine gunner asked the ammunition man.

The machine gunner has more experience than the ammunition man. The machine gunner is older than the ammunition man. The machine gunner is from Northeast China while the ammunition man is from Shandong.

"Little Bull Egg" was the nickname given by the machine gunner to the ammunition man.

The reason is that this ammunition clerk is not as tall and mighty as other Shandong people, but is dark and thin.

In Northeast China, young bulls are called "niuzi" and young cows are called "yu (milk) cows".

"Brother, do you look down on me? My ancestors are from Liangshan Marsh!" Little Niu Niu Dan was unhappy.

"Okay! Go over there and attract the firepower of those Japanese devils. Don't let them shoot at the company commander." the machine gunner ordered.

The little yak egg happily took the box gun given by the machine gunner, and ran away with his rifle in his other hand. "Be careful, don't hurt yourself!" The machine gunner didn't forget to remind him.

"I know!" Xiao Niuniudan's voice floated back, and in his voice was a kind of excitement about joining the war.

The machine gunner was already a veteran in his thirties, and he had been through it all, so how could he not understand Xiao Niu Niu Dan's feelings? Because he had been through it himself.

But now was the time to face reality. The machine gunner put the butt of the gun against his shoulder, exhaled a breath of foul air, and began to aim the machine gun at the swaying wheat stalks.

His plan was that if Xiao Niuniudan failed to shoot in time, he would have to do it himself.

But what made him happy was that after a while, when he saw a Japanese soldier coming out of the wheat field and pointing a gun towards Cheng Peng and his team, he finally heard the gunshot belonging to Xiao Niuniudan.

To his surprise, the shot was not from a box gun but from a rifle.

And the little yak's shot was very accurate. He saw clearly that the little yak's shot hit the Japanese soldier directly on the head.

So the Japanese soldier who was squatting on the ground paused, then let go of his gun and knelt down. Then his head hit the ground and his butt was sticking up, as if he was repenting for his crimes.

The fall of the first Japanese soldier immediately aroused the vigilance of the Japanese soldiers behind him. The machine gunner saw several rifles poking out from the wheat stalks, and at this time the sound of box guns rang out "bang bang bang" and "bang bang bang".

At this moment, the machine gunner whom little Yak Egg called "Third Brother" finally understood what was going on and couldn't help but secretly praise little Yak Egg again.

This kid had never fired a box gun before, so of course it was not as accurate as a rifle. So he first killed a Japanese soldier with his rifle, then put down the rifle and used the box gun instead.

  The advantage of this is that you can ensure that one enemy is killed first, and you don't have to push and pull the bolt anymore, but can pick up the box gun and continue shooting!

Originally, when Xiao Niuniudan went out, he wanted to tell him something, but he didn't have time.

Now seeing how clever this little yak egg is, he doesn't need to tell it anymore.

It would be great if this little bull could kill a few Japanese devils, but he just wanted to stay alive. It would be enough as long as he could attract the firepower of the Japanese army.

At this moment, when the machine gunner looked at the wheat field again, he saw the rising black smoke.

Yes, the wheat field is on fire! The machine gunner was delighted.

"My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China, where there are mountains and fields of soybeans and sorghum," these are the words in the song.

But what Northeast China has is not just soybeans and sorghum, there is also wheat.

Shandong has two wheat seasons, while Northeast China can also grow one wheat season.

The machine gunner had seen the scene of wheat harvest being burned.

However, those were only a few inches high of stubble left after the wheat was harvested. Every year, the people would burn the stubble directly in order to continue sowing next year. This kind of thing is called "burning the wasteland" in the Northeast.

To be honest, the fire caused by burning the weeds is not big. How big a fire can a few inches high wheat stubble start?

When the machine gunner was young, he would go to pick up wheat ears and endure the choking smoke. Sometimes he would just lift his legs and step over the flames.

  But this time, Battalion Commander Shang Zhen had a sudden idea and only cut the wheat ears and left the wheat stalks, which people in Northeast China call wheat stalks. Once the fire started, how could it be small?

He saw black smoke rising from his side, then he saw a fire, and then he heard the Japanese soldiers' screams in the wheat field.

This was just the beginning. Soon the black smoke spread and the flames appeared. With the help of the wind, the black smoke rose into the sky and the white light of fire was everywhere below.

The machine gunner was overjoyed. He no longer cared about the fire or how Xiao Niuniudan was fighting. He just put the butt of the light machine gun on his shoulder and observed the situation in the wheat field. What he thought in his heart was, I hope more Japanese soldiers can be driven out by the fire!
