The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1961: Let go first and fight back

Shang Zhen returned to his sniper point, but the members of Qu Team did not retreat, but all moved forward.

All of them arrived in front of the deep ditch, and the situation was like a decisive battle in ancient times.

Although the ditch was not wide enough so that anyone could just jump over it by lifting their legs, it seemed particularly useless.

Why did they go to the front of that ditch?

That's because if they were lying in ambush behind a deep ditch and wanted to shoot at the Japanese and puppet troops rushing up, they would have to stand up to see the other side.

When they reached the south side of the deep ditch, they could hide behind a large rock, so that they could see the Japanese and puppet troops attacking from below. Similarly, the enemies below could also see them.

At this point, all the tricks no longer exist, and it becomes a positional war with both sides facing each other.

Qian Chuan'er had already told the members of District Team about the situation ahead, and everyone's expression became serious.

"We have some experience in dealing with puppet troops." Captain Zhang said while looking down.

"You say." Qian Chuan'er replied.

  "To fight the puppet army, we have to fight and scare at the same time!

When it is time to kill, kill them. Be ruthless enough and then they will feel fear.

But today's matter is not easy to handle, there are Japanese soldiers supervising the battle behind us! It would be great if there was a light machine gun!" Captain Zhang said.

Qian Chuan'er responded but did not express his opinion.

At this time, Bian Xiaolong, who was already with them, thought to himself, what you said is the same as saying nothing.

Everyone knows that it is better to scare the Japanese invaders than to fight them, especially with light machine guns. But where can we find light machine guns now?

The Eighth Route Army District team was really poor. They didn't have any light machine guns, and what they captured this time were only some Type 38 rifles.

However, what does it mean when many hands make light work? After Captain Zhang finished speaking, a soldier from a district squad suddenly said, "Captain, we don't have real machine guns, but we have fake machine guns!"

"What?" Captain Zhang was stunned at first, but when he turned around and saw a tin barrel and a whip on it, his face showed joy.

"I found it in a bandit's lair. I don't know what the bandits kept it for. I brought it with me when I came here!" the soldier reported.

"A fake machine gun is better than nothing!" Wang Chuan said happily, "Today's battle is a bit complicated, everyone should act according to circumstances and don't shoot without orders.

By the way, you can also cut this whip into small pieces. When you need it, light one piece at a time, and it will sound like a short shot!"

After all, Wang Chuan is an old Red Army soldier, and he has gained experience in fighting guerrilla warfare and fighting poverty.

  Fighting is like living life. If you are wealthy, you can eat good food. If you are poor, you cannot starve to death, right? You have to eat grass roots and tree leaves!

"Our battalion commander will fire first in a while, and everyone will act according to the situation to decide when to use this fake machine gun." Qian Chuan'er also said, but he sighed in his heart.

You see that the enemy will attack you soon, and when the enemy's gun is about to point at your face, why are you still using your fake machine gun?

Qian Chuan'er didn't agree with it, but he wouldn't discourage the enthusiasm of the district team, so he decided to give it a try!

It was only about 400 to 500 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top. Even if the puppet soldiers at the front walked slowly, they eventually reached the halfway point. At this moment, a sharp gunshot rang out without warning. Shang Zhen fired!

Just after Shang Zhen fired the gun, the people on the mountain saw that the puppet soldiers who were coming forward from the hillside all lay down on the mountain road in unison, and the Japanese soldiers behind them did the same.

They heard the enemies below, whether they were puppet troops or Japanese troops, shouting, but they couldn't hear what they were shouting because they were too far away.

They couldn't hear the enemy's shouting, but they could clearly hear Shang Zhen's shooting from behind them.

Immediately afterwards, they heard Shang Zhen's second shot, but because the Japanese and puppet troops were lying down, they couldn't tell whether Shang Zhen hit the target.

But Wang Chuan praised loudly: "Excellent shooting, the Japanese commander was killed!"

Wang Chuan's words naturally boosted the morale of the district team.

But then some soldiers became confused. Everyone had the same eyes. Even if you had good eyesight, the Japanese devils were lying down. How could you see that Captain Shang shot and killed the Japanese commander?

"You haven't seen any Japanese soldiers using Japanese swords, right?" Wang Chuan asked, as if he saw everyone's doubts.

Oh, that's exactly the truth! Everyone understood after hearing this sentence.

  No one knows what's wrong with the way the Japanese devils command the war?

During each attack, the officer in charge of command would draw out his command knife and point it forward among the attacking enemies, probably to hit wherever he pointed!

  But now everyone is watching. Although some Japanese soldiers raised their rifles again, there was really no one raising their command sabers!

Therefore, Wang Chuan’s inference is valid!

While Wang Chuan was explaining his inference, Shang Zhen had already fired the fifth shot. At the same time, the Japanese light machine guns at the foot of the mountain began to make "da da da" and "da da da" sounds.

The bullet hit the rock where the team was hiding, making a clanging sound.

It was obvious that the Japanese army had discovered their presence here.

The Japanese army's firepower was very dense, and it was definitely not a problem of just one or two light machine guns.

Bullets rained down, hitting the huge rock, sending stone chips flying everywhere, so much so that some soldiers from the district squad had to retract their heads.

"Don't worry, everyone. The Japanese can just keep firing machine guns all day and they won't be able to attack us!" Wang Chuan's voice rang out again.

It was at this point that the role of Wang Chuan, the veteran Red Army soldier, was revealed. With the previous inference that Shang Zhen had killed the Japanese commander, the soldiers had already believed him.

The quick-witted soldiers understood that this was indeed the case.

This mountain road is relatively flat, and the light machine guns set up by the Japanese army must be just below the road.

The reason is that if the Japanese army deployed machine guns on both sides, that is, the left and right wings, they would not be able to see their current defensive position due to the obstruction of the large rock ridge.

It was precisely because the Japanese army deployed their light machine guns directly below the road. If the Japanese army kept firing at the top of the mountain, the enemies below would not dare to move forward after walking a few dozen meters, because the Japanese army's light machine guns would kill their own people by mistake!

From a terrain perspective, the Japanese army lacked geographical high points at a certain height to allow bullets to reach the top of the mountain.

  Since the Japanese light machine guns fired upward from the bottom up, they wanted to provide sufficient fire support only by knocking down all the Japanese and puppet troops, especially the puppet troops, walking on the mountain roads!

"Don't just stand there like idiots. Hurry up and fire two shots down the mountain. Don't let the Japanese find our battalion commander!" Qian Chuaner suddenly shouted.
