The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1960: Let go first and fight back

"Battalion commander, look, we have killed so many devils!" On the edge of the Wujiaopo mountain top, Bian Xiaolong said complacently as he looked at the Japanese soldiers lying on the road.

Bian Xiaolong certainly had reason to be proud. So far, they had repelled three Japanese attacks, and forty or fifty Japanese soldiers had fallen on the road.

Among them were seven Japanese soldiers killed by Bian Xiaolong.

Bian Xiaolong still has the mentality of a child, and of course she really hopes to get praise from Shang Zhen.

But she was disappointed. After she finished speaking, she naturally looked at Shang Zhen, who was putting a telescope to his eyes and observing the front carefully.

Because the telescope blocked Shang Zhen's eyes, Bian Xiaolong couldn't see what Shang Zhen's expression was.

"More than 60 meters below, there was a Japanese officer killed by me. Didn't you see the command knife?" Rather than saying that Bian Xiaolong was continuing to narrate her own battle story, it would be more accurate to say that she was still hoping that Shang Zhen could give her a compliment.

But this time Shang Zhen still didn't answer. Instead, Qian Chuan, who was beside Shang Zhen, said, "The battalion commander is thinking about something important. Don't mess with him."

"How did I cause trouble?" Bian Xiaolong muttered in disappointment and stopped talking.

In fact, Shang Zhen didn't listen to what Bian Xiaolong said at this time, nor did he use the telescope to look at the Japanese soldiers who were killed on the mountain road.

The farthest Japanese soldier who was killed was two hundred meters away from them, and the closest was only more than ten meters away. They were just lice on a bald man's head - it was so obvious, so why did he need to use a telescope to see it?

Shang Zhen was actually observing the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain. He really wanted to use the telescope to observe how many Japanese troops were attacking Wujiaopo this time.

However, the result of his observation disappointed him. He had been holding the telescope for a while, but the number of Japanese soldiers he saw was less than forty in total.

It was obvious that the Japanese army could not have had such a small force, because they would need about twenty to thirty or forty people to attack at one time.

Shang Zhen wanted to determine the Japanese army's determination to capture Wujiaopo by observing the size of the Japanese army's troops.

If the Japanese army had come with a small group, they would have suffered heavy casualties by now and should have retreated.

If the Japanese army had come as a squadron, they would have killed forty or fifty Japanese soldiers this time, which would have only inflicted some damage to the Japanese army, but not yet caused any damage, as the big battle was still to come.

If a small group of Japanese soldiers came, Shang Zhen could beat them all and make the camp full of wounded soldiers.

If a squadron of Japanese troops comes, Shang Zhen can fight with them and wear them down.

But what was different this time from their previous battles with the Japanese was that the Japanese actually used the Type 92 infantry gun!

  According to Shang Zhen’s experience, the Japanese army that can use infantry artillery must be at least a battalion!

If the Japanese army really came in a large group, then he could only take his men and run away, the sooner the better!

However, Shang Zhen felt that it was unlikely that the Japanese army was a squadron or a battalion.

Because it is not realistic to mobilize so many Japanese troops for such a long-distance raid. They need food and supplies to feed the people and horses, and it is not something that can be mobilized just by saying so.

However, there is another possibility. If the Japanese army was determined to attack Wujiaopo, and only a small elite team came at the beginning, and their battle was delayed any longer, they were surrounded by the Japanese army and could not go down the mountain, then it is not ruled out that the number of Japanese troops would increase.

It is very difficult to determine how many Japanese troops have arrived.

Obviously, the Japanese also knew that they were using telescopes on the mountain, so they did not move within the range of his telescope. The Japanese should have occupied the small village, and not far from the village were large tracts of woods.

Shang Zhen guessed that the large group of Japanese troops must be in the woods, because the village was too small to accommodate so many Japanese troops.

How about going down the mountain to investigate? Shang Zhen thought again, but then he rejected this idea. With only a few men and weapons, why would he fight the Japanese army to the death?

  If he could avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese army and conduct reconnaissance, it would be better for him to lead his men to break out directly!

Then let’s break out!

Shang Zhen made up his mind.

As for the gold, silver, and treasures that Chen San chopped off and never found, just let them go to hell!

Shang Zhen had already thought about breaking out. It was impossible to rush out from the front, as that would definitely be walking into a trap.

Fortunately, there were not many of them, so they could use ropes to climb down the steep cliff on either side.

Shang Zhen originally only brought a few people to escort Xu Lang and Wang Chuan back to the Eighth Route Army's base, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring a rope.

If you want to find such a long rope, you have to search the bandits' lair, and you don't know if there is such a long rope in the bandits' lair.

Shang Zhen was thinking about it, and just wanted to ask Qian Chuan'er to go back and look, but he unexpectedly discovered through the telescope that there were really people appearing in the woods where he suspected the Japanese brigade was hiding.

  As the number of people increased, it was no longer just a matter of dozens of Japanese soldiers, but a vast black mass!

This time the Japanese were really pissed off. Were they going to attack from above? Shang Zhen thought about it and adjusted the focus of the telescope to watch carefully.

  When he adjusted the focus, he was surprised to find that a lot of people did come out of the woods, but those people were not Japanese soldiers, but puppet soldiers wearing black clothes!

As soon as Shang Zhen saw that they were puppet soldiers, he confirmed that the Japanese army would definitely launch a large-scale attack this time.

The puppet soldiers that came out, who looked to be about a hundred in number, were probably the cannon fodder being chased in front by the Japanese army.

Moreover, Shang Zhen believed that this puppet army must have just arrived here.

Because given the character of the Japanese devils, if the puppet army had arrived earlier, how could they possibly adopt that long snake formation and let their own people block the bullets from behind?

"It seems like a lot of Japanese devils have come out of the woods!" Bian Xiaolong also shouted.

From their current position, they could see the woods in the distance. How could Bian Xiaolong not see the large black group of people coming out of it?

At this time, Shang Zhen was already observing the number of puppet troops through a telescope.

After a while, Shang Zhen gave the order: "Notify the people in front of us that Wang Chuan, Da Laoben and the others should retreat quickly.

This time, there were more than a hundred Japanese traitors coming, and there were some small Japanese soldiers behind them. It was estimated that the small Japanese soldiers behind them were the supervision team.

  We are facing a big battle, it would be too dangerous if we were at the front!

Shen Mugen and I will go back to the middle of the mountain. I have to find a way to kill the Japanese behind us!"

After giving the order, Shang Zhen picked up his rifle and crawled back. But just as he was about to stand up and run back, he stopped Qian Chuan'er and said, "Qian Chuan'er, be smart. When the enemy soldiers come to attack, see if you can shout something to them. The enemy soldiers and the Japanese soldiers are not on the same page!

If the two devils and the devils really become one, then we will have a bloody battle today!"
