The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1872: Fight the Japs, Go to the "High Building"

The ambush site was found, but disagreements arose again. Perhaps this was destined to be an unpleasant cooperation.

"Our people will stay here, and we will retreat after the shooting!" The special envoy insisted on his opinion.

  "Okay, you are a high-ranking official, so do as you please! Come on, let's go up to that building!" Wu Ziqi expressed his dissatisfaction, and kept saying that the special envoy was a high-ranking official. But from the tone of his voice, it seemed that he did not regard the special envoy as an official at all.

This is a crossroads.

Since the Japanese army would definitely come from the north, the special envoy meant that their people would ambush behind the walls and debris of the houses on the roadside south of the intersection, and when they saw the Japanese army, they would open fire on them with volleys.

But Wu Ziqi took a fancy to a small second floor with a yard in front of the door in the southeast corner. He insisted on going up to that building to shoot at the Japanese troops.

The Eighth Route Army's special envoy naturally expressed his objection. One reason was that the building was too small to accommodate so many of them, and the other was that it would be easy for the Japanese army to surround and surround it.

But Wu Ziqi thought that the building was located on a high ground and it would be convenient to fight the Japanese from a high position. Moreover, the Japanese were in a hurry to leave and would not attack the building.

They figured the Japanese army might arrive as soon as they said so this was no time to argue with each other, so they continued to fight the Japanese and each group ambushed according to their own ideas.

The wall of that small second floor house is quite high. It may not be 3 meters, but at least more than 2 meters. Anyway, it is not something that one can climb up just by saying so.

Since the Eighth Route Army had fallen out with Wu Ziqi, no one cared about them. Let them climb the wall however they wanted!

  But they had no idea that Wu Ziqi, Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu walked straight to the gate of that house. Without Wu Ziqi saying a word, Fan Tongwu took out a small piece of wire from his body, poked the iron gate of the house a few times, and then the padlock was opened!

To be honest, it is not difficult to open a lock without a key. The finely crafted locks of later generations can even be opened with a wire, let alone the simple locks of today.

These security guards are useless in fighting, but they are very much like what the ancient Chinese called chicken thieves and dog thieves. When it comes to doing bad things, they are still capable. Fan Tongwu learned how to open a lock without a key from others.

"Why do I feel that the commander of the Eighth Route Army looks down on us?" Fan Tongzuo said as they entered the yard.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wu Ziqi objected. Then he looked at the small second floor in front of him and said, "For the sake of our battalion commander's wife, I won't argue with him!"

But he had just finished saying this when the box gun that he was holding in his right hand rubbed against his thigh, and he raised it up and pointed it at the window on the second floor!

At the same time, a man on the second floor of the small second floor said loudly: "Get out quickly, or I will shoot you!"

  At this time, the brothers Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu heard the sound and looked, only to find that there was someone in the window with a weapon on his shoulder pointing at them, which really scared the brothers!

Because the Japanese army invaded Shuiquan Town, Shang Zhen discussed it with Chen Laocai, and Chen Laocai mobilized the people in the town to go out and avoid the war.

The brothers Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu never imagined that there was someone in this yard.

  From what they said, they were not Japanese, but they said shots were fired. There are people in this house and they have guns. Don’t you think it’s scary?

At this time, Wu Ziqi had already taken a step forward.

How big is the yard facing the street? He ran to the wall of the building in a moment, and the brothers Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu hurriedly followed him. When they also got close to the wall, they didn't hear any gunshots, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

  At this time, Wu Ziqi spoke up: "Who are you two trying to scare with a big pole? Even if you are going to shoot, it will take you a while to light the trigger!

We are from the Northeast Army, we want to fight the Japanese devils, open the door quickly!"

Big lift?

After hearing what Wu Ziqi said, the brothers Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu suddenly realized that the man in the window was carrying a large lifting pole on his shoulders.

  What is the big lift?

That is a kind of homemade earthen gun made by the people.

The development history of rifles is roughly about matchlock rifles, stone guns, bolt-action rifles, and later automatic rifles.

In this way, the big-lifted pole can barely be considered a type of matchlock gun, and one can imagine China's current backwardness.

The gun was very long, and the barrel was filled with black powder, iron sand, nails and other things that could hurt people. Because the gun was very long, it required two people to operate it.

When shooting, the person in front needs to bend over and carry the gun on his shoulder, while the person behind is responsible for lighting the gun and shooting.

So they saw a person at the window, but there should be another one behind it.

Since the big lever is similar to a shotgun, the ammunition inside can't shoot very far, only twenty or thirty meters.

  After Wu Ziqi entered the yard, he recognized at first sight that the man was carrying a large pole on his shoulder. Since the gun did not fire when they entered the yard, it would be too late to light a fire again, so he was not afraid at all!

The two men upstairs also saw the army passing by outside the yard. As they were guarding the house, they were naturally on high alert. However, they never expected that the iron general outside their gate would encounter a "thief" who was more professional than a thief.

  Outside the door, Fan Tongwu poked and groaned a few times, but to them, the door suddenly opened!

By the time they discovered someone had entered the yard, it would be too late to light the gunpowder wick!

Now that the person has entered the hospital, it's too late to say anything.

Fortunately, Shang Zhenying has helped the people of Shuiquan Town protect food these days, and at least its reputation is good for now.

And when the people upstairs heard Wu Ziqi's accent, they said, "Hey, you are from Shandong too?"

"I'm not from Shandong, so what? Open the door quickly, the Japanese are coming soon!" Wu Ziqi said unhappily.

Wu Ziqi himself didn't notice that he now speaks with a Shandong accent, but the way he speaks is almost the same as that of people from the Northeast.

When the people upstairs heard what Wu Ziqi said, they hurriedly said "wait", and then they really ran down to open the door for him!

Why do we say that the Chinese Communist Party compares the relationship between the military and the people to the close bond between fish and water, and that the people have become its own family? Then the intensity with which the people support their own army in fighting the Japanese invaders is really different!

As soon as the door opened, Wu Ziqi ran upstairs with Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu.

The man who came down followed the three of them and ran up a few steps, but then remembered that the gate was not closed yet, so he ran back to close the gate.

Wu Ziqi went up to the second floor and saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a two-meter-long lifting pole in his hand and looking at him nervously.

"What are you afraid of? Our camp never bullies ordinary people!" Wu Ziqi said, and then he ran to the window where the young man was.

The young man quickly moved aside, and Wu Ziqi looked north from the open window.

After all, it was a small second floor with a wide view. Wu Ziqi could see clearly from upstairs that there were no Japanese troops on the streets coming from the north.

"Where has this kid gone? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Wu Ziqi muttered involuntarily, then he turned around and went to the west window again.

  He had been with Shang Zhen and the veterans in their camp for a long time, so he didn't need to learn anything special. He could just watch and learn. Before fighting, one must first look at the terrain!

But when Wu Ziqi gently opened the west window to look out, he was stunned because he saw the Japanese soldiers! He saw the Japanese soldiers marching in the narrow alleys with guns and heading towards the intersection!

The family's courtyard is only on the north side. There is no courtyard on the west side, so naturally there is no high wall.

Because there was no high wall blocking his view, Wu Ziqi had a clear view and was able to see the Japanese troops clearly.

Those short guys, with their hunched necks and long 38-style rifles, looked like the Japs entering the village. No! They were the Japs entering the village!

  For some reason, the Japanese army did not come from the north, but instead came from the west!

I finished writing it last night, but I was too sleepy, so I didn’t post it and didn’t point out the typos.
