The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1966 New Sniper Position

In the woods at the foot of the mountain, a Japanese squadron leader got angry.

The reason he was angry was that he paid a huge price but failed to take down Wujiaopo.

  The price he paid included the loss of more than 100 of his men, the use of the Type infantry artillery issued to him by the battalion, and the fact that they only had a few shells left. He even killed all the puppet soldiers who were used as cannon fodder!

The signalman has already sent over the situation of the other two squadrons. Those two squadrons encountered a skirmish with other Chinese troops.

However, the captain brought him a letter, saying that he would definitely be able to reach Wujiaopo tonight.

As a result, the Japanese squadron leader became even more anxious!

Given the current situation here, he shouldn't launch another attack.

But imagine that when his superior, the captain, arrived and saw that he had suffered such heavy losses and had not yet achieved any results, he could not be asked to commit suicide, but he would certainly be given a slap in the face.

So he had to make one last effort.

Amid his hysterical shouts, dozens of Japanese soldiers led by a squad leader set out again and launched an attack on Wujiaopo.

"The Japanese have started attacking and are now at the foot of the mountain!" Qian Chuaner shouted.

  Like Qian Chuan'er, Hou Kanshan, Bian Xiaolong, Wang Chuan and Da Laoben were also hiding in the stone cave.

Qian Chuan'er was shouting for the people behind him, who were now hiding in pits of varying sizes behind the deep ditch.

The people in the district squad are very valuable because there are too few of them. If they enter the stone crater in front of the deep ditch now, they may suffer several casualties if the Japanese army fires a shell.

Veterans like Qian Chuan'er all had experience in dealing with Japanese artillery. If they heard something wrong with the whistling of the artillery, they would naturally jump off the stone cliffs. They had all found hiding places.

As for a hiding place that is 100% immune to artillery fire, forget it. If you want everything to be 100% safe, then there is no need to resist the Japanese invaders.

After Qian Chuan'er finished shouting, a soldier from a district squad standing near the pit began waving the tattered clothes in his hands.

He waved his clothes according to Qian Chuan'er's order to signal Shang Zhen behind him.

In fact, the people in front just didn't wave their clothes, and Shang Zhen had already seen that the Japanese army was attacking again.

This time, Shang Zhen was not on the observation deck in the center of the top of Wujiaopo Mountain.

The Japanese army had discovered the lookout as a sniper point. In the previous battle, the Japanese army not only used two heavy machine guns to shoot at the place, causing stone chips to fly everywhere, but later they simply used infantry artillery to fire at it.

Under that bombardment, the wooden building on the lookout tower was blown down, and even the stone wall facing the Japanese army was collapsed.

To be on the safe side, Shang Zhen changed the location this time.

To be honest, this place is really hard to find. You must be able to see the foot of the mountain to shoot, and Shang Zhen can play his due role.

In the end, Shang Zhen chose the roof of a house on the edge of the mountain top.

It was an adobe house with an adobe chimney on top, and Shang Shangzhen’s latest sniper position was behind the chimney.

Shang Zhen certainly wouldn't crawl into the chimney, even though he felt he could easily get in with his thinness.

But it's no use just for him to get in!

He needed to use this as a cover to shoot at the Japanese army. How thick must the chimney be to allow him to operate a Type 38 rifle that was nearly 1.3 meters long?

Shang Zhen and Shen Mugen dismantled the side of the chimney facing away from the Japanese army, and dug a hole on the side facing the Japanese army as a shooting hole.

But it was not over yet. Shang Zhen asked Shen Mu to follow him and arrange the bricks one by one.

What is the reason for this? This is because if it is just a wall with a hole in the middle, the hole will be transparent when viewed from a distance.

The Japanese army could easily imagine that there were people hiding here, and if a wall was built at the back to block out the light, things would be much better.

To be honest, this project is not small. If it’s just Shen Mu and Shang Zhen, it will be a bit difficult.

But they still have a labor force, who is it? Xu Lang.

  Who knows what Xu Lang is thinking?

When Shang Zhen was strafed by Japanese heavy machine guns and Shang Zhen and Shen Mugen began to retreat, Xu Lang, who was hiding behind them, also ran after them.

Perhaps, he just felt that the stone chips and dust thrown by the Japanese army had blinded his eyes.

  But it was right for him to run like this, because after a while, the Japanese army blew up the lookout tower with a cannon!

Ever since Wang Chuan and Captain Zhang rejected Xu Lang's military command, Xu Lang's position has become awkward.

Now it is a military struggle, not a political struggle. So what else can he do? Who can he lead?

  At first he thought the front line was unsafe so he hid behind, but when he found that Shang Zhen's accurate shooting skills had attracted the Japanese artillery shells, he realized that the top of the mountain was no longer safe!

There is no other choice. For the sake of my own life, even if I don’t go to the front line, I have to make some contribution to the front line, right?

When the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Japanese devils at the front, the women in the rear knew to embroider a pair of insoles with tiger heads for the Eighth Route Army soldiers! Then what's wrong with you, Xu Lang, as a man?

So when Shang Zhen and Shen Mugen started to dismantle the chimney and renovate the "works", he came to help.

But although he was helping, Xu Lang had also made up his mind that when the fight started, he must not stay under this house!

The Japanese army was able to discover that there were people hiding on the lookout tower and shoot at them with rifles.

Then when Shang Zhen causes new casualties to the Japanese army again, they will most likely blow up this thatched house with one shot!

Of course, all of the above is from Xu Lang's perspective.

  From Shang Zhen's perspective, can you call that help? Can you consider yourself a guest? No matter how high your position is, you are still a combatant, and this is what you should have done!

However, Shang Zhen is not as sharp-tongued as other Northeast veterans, he just doesn't know how to speak.

Just when Shang Zhen and his men were ready, news came from Qian Chuan'er that the Japanese army was attacking again.

Shang Zhen glanced at the sky and felt that if they could repel the Japanese attack this time, it would be unlikely that the Japanese would organize another attack before dark.

He stepped down with his feet again and felt relieved when he felt it was stable. He picked up the telescope and continued to observe the Japanese troops coming up the mountain.

Since Shang Zhen used the chimney as a shelter, there was a flue underneath, which was a hole.

In order to have a place to stand, Shang Zhen asked Shen Mugen to find a wooden board to put over the hole.

Now that he had a foothold, Shang Zhen quickly used a telescope to identify a Japanese officer who was coming up the mountain.

Of course he didn't know that the Japanese officer was a squad leader.

  But who cares? It is definitely right to shoot the horse first when shooting a person and to kill the king first when killing a thief!

After Shang Zhen memorized the order of the Japanese officer in the Japanese army line, he put down the telescope and pointed his rifle through the shooting hole.

  It is impossible for a person to tell with the naked eye which one is an officer among a group of Japanese soldiers coming from four or five hundred meters away?

But if his eyesight was good enough, he could tell the number of Japanese soldiers, that is, how many were counted in the front of the queue by the officer, or how many were counted in the back?

Shang Zhen used this method to kill Japanese officers.

Shang Zhen's marksmanship has reached such a level of perfection that he is almost god-like.

Of course there is no God in this world, but there is a feeling that belongs to a sharpshooter.

Shang Zhen began to aim.
