The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1947 The Only Surviving Vanguard

Chu Tian and Shi Yong finally stood together.

At this time, there were of course many soldiers around them, including those from Chu Tian’s company and Shou Yong’s men.

But no one knew what Shi Yong whispered to Chu Tian. Chu Tian and Shi Yong walked away alone, and finally started talking to the soldiers with their backs to them when they were dozens of meters away.

At this distance, the soldiers could no longer hear what they were talking about, and since the two men were talking with their backs to them and could not see their expressions, they had no way of guessing what they were talking about.

Since the soldiers on both sides couldn't see what the two commanders were saying, they just started chatting among themselves.

Everyone was originally in the same group and they were all from the Northeast. Plus, Northeastern people are naturally sociable, so they quickly became friends and started to joke with each other.

This is the character of people from Northeast China.

The unpleasantness that happened before has long been forgotten, and it doesn’t matter if it is brought up again. After all, there is no acquaintance without fighting!

At this time, Chu Tian, ​​who was not far away, was listening to Shi Yong's story, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"This is what I know. Even if I tell you all this, it's impossible for me to take our platoon back to our regiment, so I don't know if Captain Shang can take us in." Shi Yong said finally.

"It must be a bit troublesome to let you join our camp." Chu Tian said, "But under the current circumstances, you have no choice but to join our camp."

"Captain Chu," Shi Yong said, "I shouldn't doubt it, but I have to ask."

"Just tell me." Chu Tian replied

"Then can you make the decision for your battalion commander?" Shi Yong expressed his concern.

"Don't worry about this. Since I promised you that you can join our battalion, our battalion commander will definitely agree." Chu Tian reassured Shi Yong, but then he asked again, "Now let me ask you something important again."

"Okay." Shi Yong replied

"Are you sure that your leader and his men were outside Shuiquan Town at that time, and then went into the town, right?" Chu Tian asked first.

"Yes." Shi Yong replied.

  "You are sure that your people opened fire on the town, right? But you can't confirm whether your people accidentally killed the Eighth Route Army." Chu Tian asked the second question.

"Yes." Shi Yong answered again.

"Is it possible that the Japanese devils that suddenly appeared this time were recruited by your commander, or that he provided intelligence to the Japanese devils?" Chu Tian asked the third question.

"I can't answer this." Shi Yong said after a moment of hesitation.

"That means it is possible and impossible, right?" Chu Tian asked finally.

Shi Yong was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"Okay, that's all I want to ask." Chu Tian said, and then turned around. Just as Shi Yong turned around with him, Chu Tian asked again: "Will your brothers agree to you bringing your people to join our camp?"

"There is no problem. I know my people." Shi Yong said with certainty.

Only ten minutes later, Chu Tian and Shi Yong's platoon, who had just joined their company, set off for Wujiaopo. At the same time, he sent someone on horseback back to the base to report the news and transfer the two companies to Wujiaopo as well.

The reason here is that after Chu Tian listened to Shi Yong’s story, he had a bad feeling.

Although he suspected that it was Zhao Tieying who called in the Japanese army to deal with Shang Zhen, but at the same time, he felt that something was wrong with the Japanese army this time!

In the usual battles with the Japanese army, because the enemy was strong and we were weak, it was basically the Japanese army that chased and fought them.

But this time they rescued one of Shi Yong's platoons, and the Japanese army's pursuit of them was not very urgent, giving him a feeling of a tiger's head with a whimper.

Moreover, he felt that the Japanese troops on the opposite side did not have many troops, which was the main reason why they were able to get rid of the Japanese troops quickly this time. This was all abnormal.

So where did the rest of the Japanese troops go? You know, when the Japanese troops came to the countryside, they always brought large forces.

You have to know that this is Shandong. Not only is the 51st Army conducting guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has also grown a lot.

The original saying that a few devils or a small number of Japanese troops could occupy a county town was basically impossible in Shandong!

Here is another digression. Why was it that when the Japanese army first occupied the three northeastern provinces, a small number of Japanese troops were able to control a county town? The reason was the traitors and puppet troops. The Japanese army allowed the traitors and puppet troops to collect taxes there and gave them considerable power, which was equivalent to tying the interests of the traitors and puppet troops to the Japanese army, forming a community of interests.

Those traitors and puppet soldiers were willing to follow the Japanese army for their own interests.

Well, this time no large Japanese army was seen, and considering the bounty offered by the Japanese army for Shang Zhen, Chu Tian had reason to suspect that the Japanese army was going to make a big move.

That's why he led the team to rush to Wujiaopo.

It was already afternoon, and Chu Tian hoped that he could reach Wujiaopo before dark.

But they had only walked a few miles when gunshots suddenly rang out in front of them!

Chu Tian was very familiar with the sound of gunfire.

  This familiarity does not mean that the soldiers are familiar with the sound of gunfire. How could soldiers not be familiar with the sound of gunfire when they are often in combat?

Rather, the gunshots Chu Tian heard were just like the volleys fired by his own people when they ambushed the Japanese army!

A platoon gun usually refers to rifles. A row of people are lying in ambush in the dark, and when they hear a command, they all fire at the same time. This is called a platoon gun.

  Since the scouts had never left the rear team's sight, amid the sound of gunfire, Chu Tian saw that all of his scouts had fallen down!

Not only did the soldiers fall down, but even the horse their scout was carrying fell down!

Chu Tian hurriedly ordered all the soldiers to lie down on the spot, while he himself took out a telescope and looked forward.

  At this moment, Chu Tian was shocked!

Because he looked coldly and found that all the soldiers in his vanguard squad were shot! But the horse struggled to get up.

The scout was still two or three hundred meters away from him, so it was impossible for the telescope to see so clearly, but whether a person was shot could be seen by looking at the posture in which he fell.

If a soldier is not shot when encountering a sudden attack, his first reaction is definitely to lie down or find shelter, or at least to lie prone.

But now he saw that his soldiers had no intention of taking the next step!

So what does this show? Is there any need to ask?

Just when Chu Tian moved the telescope to observe where the enemy who attacked them was, he suddenly saw that one of his scouts was still alive, and that person was Gu Xihuai!

At this time, Gu Xihuai was originally the squad leader of the vanguard squad.

The reason why Gu Xihuai was able to survive can be said to be Gu Xinhuai's experience, or it can also be said to be Gu Xihuai's calculation.

Did the scouts bring horses? Yes, they brought horses, not rode horses.

As a veteran, Chu Tian had never seen it before, but this time he saw it.

This kid Gu Xihuai was leading a horse in front.

  He did not ride the horse, but let the soldier lead it in front, and he followed behind the horse. It seemed that it was the horse that blocked the bullet for him!

Nine soldiers from his company were killed in one go, and Gu Xihuai's survival was not enough to calm Chu Tian's shock. But at this moment, he saw through the telescope that Gu Xihuai actually opened fire!

However, Gu Xi did not shoot at the Japanese soldiers. Instead, he shot the struggling horse in the head with his box gun, and then the horse stopped moving.

Gu Xihuai took advantage of the horse's cover and hid behind it!

This Gu Xihuai is so calculating! The horse is dead and motionless, completely becoming his meat shield.

Through the telescope, Chu Tian saw blood flowing from under Gu Xihuai's body, but he didn't know whether it was human blood or horse blood.

Forget it, Chu Tian was not in the mood to pay attention to Gu Xihuai anymore, so he looked into the distance through the telescope.

The terrain here is slightly undulating. Just now, Gu Xihuai and his scouts were climbing a gentle slope, so the Japanese army should be at the top of the slope.

Yes, it must be the Japanese army, let alone the puppet army. Even Chu Tian and his team could not pick out such a sharpshooter. 10 bullets hit 9 people and a horse!

But how could it be so easy to find the Japanese? There were patches of shrubs on the top of the gentle slope, which made it difficult to find those Japanese soldiers!

  At this point, Chu Tian, ​​who was originally a student, suddenly had the urge to curse. This damn Japanese devil actually learned to be a traitor!

But in this case, it would be very difficult for me to go and support Shang Zhen!
