The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1858 Two People's Charge

"Platoon leader, what should we do next?" Liu Zhu, who was hiding behind a mound of earth, asked Gao Wenli.

Now the two of them had only advanced a few dozen meters towards the hill. Although both of them carried rifles, it was too early to find the Japanese gunman and shoot him dead.

"Liu Zhu, are you afraid of death?" Gao Wenli asked.

"Hey, platoon leader, please say something useful." Liu Zhu got angry.

  Liu Zhu is not someone who is good at expressing himself in words. We all moved from Northeast China to Shandong together. It has been almost 10 years. Who doesn’t understand each other?

It would be fine if Gao Wenli asked this question to new recruits, but as for old soldiers, forget it!

"I'll try to provoke that kid to shoot.

There is a mound of earth about fifty or sixty meters in front of you on the left, and it is covered with wormwood.

As soon as the Japanese start shooting, don't worry about me and just run like you did just now. You must run behind that mound of earth.

If you were more careful, the Japanese would probably guess that you ran behind that mound and aim your guns at that place.

You can show your head now, but I won’t help you if you get beaten by the Japanese.” Gao Wenli said.

"Oh." Liu Zhu responded, and then asked, "And then?"

"What then?" Gao Wenli asked back.

"What should we do after I run to that pile of dirt?" Liu Zhu explained.

"You're thinking really far ahead. I haven't thought it through yet." Gao Wenli replied.

"Okay then." Liu Zhu was not a talkative person. Since Gao Wenli said so, he decided to run behind the mound first and talk later.

Gao Wenli had indeed not thought about how to attack the hill.

The battalion commander said that fighting the Japanese was like playing chess. How could we look ahead three or four steps? We had to look ahead seven or eight steps.

But the problem is that Gao Wenli thinks he is not a battalion commander and that he can only see three or four steps ahead.

He knew very well how difficult it was to rush from this open area to that hill, or to find and kill the Japanese sharpshooter hiding in the dark.

  But it's not enough to just be difficult, I have to go to meet the battalion commander! If you don't go and I don't go, who will go in the end?

Liu Zhu, who was hiding behind the mound, listened to Gao Wenli assigning him the task. Without thinking, he suddenly stretched his head out and then retracted it.

Although it was just a glimpse, he still saw the mound that Gao Wenli mentioned.

That mound was pretty good, at least it was taller than the small mound where he was hiding now.

At this time Gao Wenli took off his hat. He told Liu Zhu that he wanted to tease the Japanese devil to shoot.

Behind the mound, Gao Wenli was using his bayonet to pick up his military cap. He was originally curled up behind the mound, but he turned over and knelt on the ground with his butt sticking out.

He held the bayonet and the hat in his left hand and slowly moved it towards the mound, while he held his rifle in his right hand and pressed it to the ground.

And when he felt that he had almost reached the top, he stopped raising the bayonet. His left hand holding the bayonet did not move, but his head slowly leaned out to the right side of the mound and looked at the hills ahead with squinting eyes.

Any veteran soldier would know his method.

But this is a battle, and Gao Wenli can't think of any other way.

Gao Wenli certainly wasn't using this strange posture to observe where the Japanese gunman was hiding.

When he was in the woods, he also used a telescope to look forward, but he did not see the Japanese soldier.

Although he was now several dozen meters closer to the woods, he did not have a telescope this time, and he did not plan to find the Japanese soldier.

Now he was just confirming where to hide after his next move.

After only observing for a moment, Gao Wenli found the place he was looking for.

Just when he had determined the route, a gunshot rang out, and with the gunshot he felt his hand tremble, and then his left hand holding the bayonet went numb, and the bayonet and the hat on it fell off.

The Japanese devil's shooting skills were really accurate! He actually shot at the hat with one shot, and also happened to hit the bayonet that was holding the hat.

  But none of this matters anymore. What matters is that he just told Liu Zhu to take the enemy’s gunfire as a signal!

So at the moment when the bayonet and the hat fell, Gao Wenli jumped up and ran straight to the place he had chosen. Of course, he still ran in a zigzag pattern.

Amid the whistling of the wind in his ears, Gao Wenli did not forget to glance at Liu Zhu.

Sure enough, Liu Zhu was moving towards the mound in a zigzag manner just as he had instructed.

Gao Wenli gritted his teeth and ran faster. He did not forget that the Japanese soldier opposite was a cunning devil. He hoped that he could run faster, at least to attract the attention of the Japanese soldier, thus giving Liu Zhu a greater hope of survival.

At the moment Gao Wenli and Liu Zhu rushed out, behind them, Cheng Peng and Xiaodaner also ordered their men to start shooting forward.

Although this kind of shooting is very blind, it is ultimately intended to deter the Japanese troops on the opposite side. Some soldiers even have a lucky mentality, thinking, what if they hit the Japanese devil who has accurate shooting skills?

"Thump, thump, thump" ...

A light machine gun under Cheng Peng's command was firing.

The machine gunner was not really a soldier with particularly long experience. He had only been appointed as a machine gunner by his platoon leader not long ago.

So his machine gun performance was average.

  He usually doesn't have the opportunity to practice shooting with a machine gun. Now that he has the chance, he doesn't care where the bullets hit. As long as he shoots, he is justified. So why doesn't he shoot more and practice his shooting skills at the same time?

However, his ideas are slightly different from others.

Others all headed towards suspicious places in front, such as bushes, behind trees, or behind mounds of earth, anywhere where people could hide.

But he didn't. Instead, he picked the bare places where there were only a few weeds but no one could hide.

According to later generations, this was a typical example of reverse thinking.

  Then everyone went to the place where the devils were likely to grow, but the devils were still alive. Maybe the devils were hiding in a place where, at least from their position, no one could hide!

His idea was not wrong, but the problem was that there were too few places to hide on the hills! How many bullets would he waste if he continued to shoot like this?

But this gentleman didn't care and just beat me like that. You could also say he was a nuisance.

But he didn't know that by doing so he posed a deterrent and a potential danger to the Japanese troops hiding somewhere on the opposite side.

That Japanese soldier did the exact opposite and hid in a place that seemed impossible to hide from a distance, but his camouflage was just better.

At this time, his rifle was aiming at the front Chinese soldier (Gao Wenli) rushing up the hill.

He had been watching the soldier for some time.

  But in his opinion, that soldier was really cunning!

There were two times when he was about to shoot, but the soldier suddenly changed direction and flashed in his sniper lens. Not wanting to waste a bullet, he could only move the muzzle of his gun.

This time he was predicting the direction of the Chinese soldier again. When he was about to shoot again, he suddenly heard the "chirp" sound of bullets hitting the ground about ten meters in front of him amid the chaotic gunfire.

Was he discovered? He subconsciously turned his eyes away from the sniper lens and glanced over there, and saw a few puffs of dust splashed by the bullets that had just entered the soldier.

Just when he thought this was just the result of the Chinese soldiers' blind shooting, he was about to aim his gun at the Chinese soldier rushing towards him, "bang bang bang", another short burst of fire from a light machine gun hit the open ground only a few meters away from him!

  The Japanese soldier was shocked. He could not tolerate the Chinese army's machine gunners fighting like this!

First, maybe the other party has discovered you.

  Second, even if the other party doesn’t notice you, the bullet may hit you the next moment!

The reason was that the Japanese soldier was not ambushing on the hill at all, but was lying in ambush about ten meters below the ridgeline of the hill.

In other words, he was facing Cheng Peng and his men, and there was no terrain to serve as cover. If he exposed himself, Cheng Peng and his men could easily kill him.

He just happened to find a pit here to hide, and his camouflage clothes were close to the color of earth, so he jumped in.

He was not hiding high up in the hills at all, so no matter how hard Cheng Peng or other people with telescopes looked for him from a distance, there was no way they could find him.

Seeing that his life was threatened, the Japanese gunman instinctively turned his rifle and pointed it at the woods in the distance.

A sniper rifle like his is most accurate at a distance of 200 to 300 meters. The reason, of course, is that the lens cannot be focused, so the image is clearest at a distance of 200 to 300 meters.

At this time, the machine gunner under Shu Lin Licheng had just used up his magazine. He had already pulled out the magazine that had emptied its bullets and was reaching out to insert a new magazine.

At the same time, he turned around to look at the ammunition handler who was handing him the magazine and scolded him: "Next time, I will ask you for the magazine. Can't you just reach out and hand it to me when you hear the noise?"

The ammunition carrier was a new recruit, so naturally his qualifications were not as good as his.

To be honest, this machine gunner has only been "promoted to a regular position not long ago". He was originally an ammunition handler, or in other words, he has finally become a veteran and is just showing off his power as a machine gunner here.

But he had no idea that his turning back to scold others saved his life.

Amid the chaotic gunfire, he who was lying on the ground turned his head, and before he could even blink, a bullet flew past his cheek!

When he felt a burning sensation on his face and quickly retreated and lay down, he realized that the Japanese sharpshooter had actually shot him!

At this time, the Japanese gunman on the opposite side saw his target disappear and hurriedly turned his gun around.

When he glanced forward again, he saw that the Chinese soldier he had intended to attack had thrown himself into a small patch of dense wormwood about a hundred meters away from him, while the other Chinese soldier had hid behind a mound of earth.
