The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1836 The life-saving grace that had to be endured

The bullets hit the doorpost behind him, making a clanging sound, but Wu Ziqi had already turned around.

When he turned around, he saw two men, one tall and one short, with half of their heads exposed on the same side of the alley. They were the brothers Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu.

There was such a lively fight in the alley, and their safety must be in danger, so the two brothers decided to stop hiding.

Not bad, they still have a conscience! After Wu Ziqi praised the two brothers in his heart, he suddenly shouted: "At the end of the alley! They are Japanese devils!"

When he shouted like that, Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu, who were responsible for covering him from behind, naturally opened fire towards the alley opposite.

But Wu Ziqi's sudden shout and the gunshots from the two brothers scared the two people who were just separated from Wu Ziqi by a wall!

How could the two of them have expected that there was someone hiding just behind them.

  But fortunately, the people who listened to the calls were our own people. The people who gave the orders to fight the Japanese devils were our own people, right?

At this time, Wu Ziqi also shouted to the other side of the wall: "We are covering you two, you two, come out of that dead end!"

After shouting, he took his box gun, half leaned out from behind the wall and fired at the alley opposite.

What he was thinking in his heart was, I hope that the good-for-nothing brother behind him won’t shoot randomly and shoot himself again!

But the situation was critical at the moment and Wu Ziqi couldn't care less.

When he fired the shot, he didn't look to see if there was anyone at the alley entrance, and he didn't have time to look.

As he dodged, he estimated his own height and lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly before pulling the trigger.

Why should the muzzle of the gun be pointed downwards?

  He thought that the Japanese devils were all short, and although he was not tall either, he was taller than the Japanese devils, right? If he shot at someone as tall as him, the bullet would fly away!

On this point, although Wu Ziqi is from Shandong, he has inherited some characteristics of the veterans of the Northeast Army. That is, our ancestors of the Northeast Army were also arrogant in the past. When did they shoot like the three-gun Eighth Route Army? They were so stingy when shooting bullets.

The gun fired first to intimidate the other side. Wu Ziqi fired a short burst of shots, and when he finished the first short burst of shots, he saw that a Japanese soldier had fallen down at the opposite alley.

However, he estimated that the Japanese army should have been defeated by the Fan Tongzuo brothers.

Just as Wu Ziqi fired the second short burst of shots, half of an enemy's body happened to appear on one side of the alley.

As Wu Ziqi fired his gun, the enemy also fell down.

Well, no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches the mouse, it is a good cat. Wu Ziqi couldn’t figure out whether he was lucky or not, and then he lay down, still pointing the box gun at the alley entrance.

"You two, run! If you don't run now, you will have no chance!" he shouted.

Following his shout, the two people in the doorway ran out this time. It turned out that they had seen Wu Ziqi lying there shooting.

Just now, one of them wanted to run away when he saw someone covering them, but was stopped by another person.

The man who grabbed his companion didn't mean that he didn't believe that Wu Ziqi behind him was not in the same group as them, but if Wu Ziqi shot at the alley entrance, if the two of them ran out rashly, they would probably be directly hit by Wu Ziqi's bullets.

The reason why Wu Ziqi was lying down and shooting was to prevent accidental injury to his own people.

The two men hurriedly took big steps and jumped over Wu Ziqi, then hid behind the doorpost.

  To be honest, it was a mistake for them to run into the alley and hide in that doorway before they discovered the Japanese army!

If you can't get in there, and you can't get out once the enemy comes, wouldn't you be trapped by them?

  In business, details determine success or failure; in battle, details determine life or death!

If the two of them were replaced by the veteran soldiers under Shang Zhen, they would definitely hide behind the doorpost, which is where the Gobang chess piece is hiding. That way they would have a way to retreat!

Of course, if they hid there, they would meet Wu Ziqi directly.

  But, a battle is a battle, why so many assumptions!

The two men took advantage of Wu Ziqi's cover and ran towards the alley entrance. Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu also stopped shooting for fear of hurting them by mistake.

Wu Ziqi, who was now in the rearguard position, saw the two men running away, and he fired at both sides of the alley with his box gun in both hands.

The bullets made the corners of the walls on both sides of the alley clang. He was afraid that the Japanese soldiers would reach out and shoot in the alley.

What kind of person can be considered a true warrior? Comparatively speaking, Wu Ziqi can now be called a true warrior.

But he is different from the veterans under Shang Zhen.

Wu Ziqi is very brave and less slick because he used to be stupid but now he is not stupid anymore.

The other veterans under Shang Zhen were more concerned with self-preservation, but Wu Ziqi was more considerate of others.

Of course, the veterans think that Wu Ziqi's current playing style still means he suffers too little, and this is a matter of opinion.

Fighters are all fighters, their styles are always different.

Wu Ziqi's shooting at the alley across the street only serves as a deterrent.

He was also afraid that the Japanese would stick their hands out from the corner and shoot with their box guns. After all, there was nothing in this alley that could block the bullets except the door where he was hiding.

But if he didn't see the enemy, he would waste bullets. Wasting bullets is fine. If he ran out of bullets at a critical moment, it would be fatal, so now he has changed to burst shooting.

  However, what happened next was exactly what Wu Ziqi had guessed. A box gun really popped out from the left side of the alley!

The other party was also firing continuously, and bullets whizzed through the narrow alley. At this time, Wu Ziqi's warning shooting at the opposite side took effect.

Then maybe his shot hit the gun or the hand that was sticking out, or maybe he just scared the other party and made him let go. He saw the box gun fall to the ground, and the hand had been retracted and disappeared.

At this point, Wu Ziqi no longer hesitated, got up from the ground, turned around and ran back.

When he turned around, he saw the two men disappearing on one side of the alley, while on the other side of the alley, Fan Tongwu was pointing a gun towards him.

Wu Ziqi ran from the doorway where he was hiding to the alley entrance, a total of only more than 20 meters. Isn't that fast? It was just a matter of running a few times.

But when he ran to the alley entrance, he saw that Fan Tongwu had a strange expression on his face when he looked behind him.

He instinctively fell forward, and then a gunshot rang out and the bullet whizzed past his head.

Not only were the bullets coming from behind, but there were also bullets from Fan Tongwu's counterattack. Wu Ziqi seemed to see bullets from both sides crossing each other in the alley.

But he couldn't just lie there, so he climbed up with the help of his hands and feet, rolled to the side, and finally hid on Fan Tongwu's side. This time he was safe with the corner of the room as a cover.

So, Wu Ziqi, Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu faced the two people opposite them.

"Thank you brother for saving my life. Which team are you from?" At least Xu's life is safe now, a man shouted across the alley that is several meters wide.

Wu Ziqi did not answer the man's question immediately. Instead, he asked back, "Who among you is Mo Jianchen? My battalion commander is Shang Zhen!"

Although the Japanese troops behind them might not give up chasing them, Wu Ziqi's answer still made the expressions of the two men become complicated.

Aren’t those two people Mo Jianchen and the special envoy?

Mo Jianchen happened to hear what the Japanese translator Yuan Chongde said, and learned that the Japanese troops in Shuiquan Town were going to return to the outside of the town and join forces with other Japanese troops to attack Shang Zhen.

He returned to his team, and this time there were dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

The commander of this team now is the special commissioner.

Special envoys are usually sent by their superiors to carry out designated tasks.

For example, if Mo Jianchen is a battalion commander now, then the special envoy must at least be a deputy battalion commander and must obey his orders during combat.

Why? Because he is a special envoy, just like the imperial envoy sent by the emperor in ancient times with the imperial sword.

Mo Jianchen did not tell the special envoy the truth, saying that he intercepted this group of Japanese troops for Shang Zhen.

  He just said, I found a group of dozens of Japanese soldiers, should we ambush them halfway?

And the special envoy’s answer was naturally good!

Mo Jianchen did not mention rescuing Shang Zhen or saying that this was helping Shang Zhen.

  Why? That's because the special commissioner didn't have a good impression of Shang Zhen!

In Mo Jianchen's understanding, the deeper reasons behind this are still very complicated.

Not only was the special envoy still brooding over Leng Xiaozhi's incident, but some people also looked down on Shang Zhen and his men's guerrilla warfare.

  Of course, this does not mean that the special envoy will not fight guerrilla warfare, but it is only because the special envoy believes that the guerrillas are the ancestors of guerrilla warfare. Shang Zhen and his men are trying to draw a tiger but ended up drawing a dog instead!

But now Mo Jianchen has to accept his leadership. If he dares to tell his true intentions, then people may not go.

So Mo Jianchen pretended to be ignorant. Anyway, as long as the Japanese were killed this time, all the credit would belong to the special envoy, and he was too lazy to fight for it.

As for the complicated expression on the special envoy's face at this time, it was of course due to the same reason.

He had been feeling somewhat proud of himself for having intercepted the Japanese army as it was leaving the town, but when the Japanese army counterattacked, their troops fell into chaos.

It’s not a question of whether they are afraid of death or not, but that their weapons are simply not as good as others.

  The battle was disrupted afterwards, and he and Mo Jianchen fell into a desperate situation, but they did not expect that they were rescued by Shang Zhen's men again!

But how could Wu Ziqi know the twists and turns in Mo Jianchen and the special envoy's minds at this moment?

He naturally thought that the Eighth Route Army and himself were the same group!

The two men in front of him didn't say anything, and when he heard the sound of Japanese gunfire from the other end of the alley, he loudly suggested: "Let's join forces to fight the devils!"

Mo Jianchen didn't know Wu Ziqi either, but for some reason, as he listened to Wu Ziqi's advice and secretly glanced at the special envoy's face, he suddenly felt like laughing!

  But at this moment, they heard fierce gunfire suddenly coming from the entrance of the town. They were stunned. What was going on? Why did the fighting start again?

The gunshots this time were different from the faint gunshots they had heard in the distance before. They must be Shang Zhen and his men blocking the Japanese army.

We are all veterans, and we can still distinguish the distance of the gunshots.

  This time the fierce gunfire was clearly happening not far outside the town or at the entrance to the town!

Now the fighting has started inside and outside the town. Isn't this going to be a chaotic war? I don't know which side is fighting the Japanese army this time!
