The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1974 A Night Walk for Two

"Are you in Gaha?" someone asked quietly on the mountain road when rustling sounds were heard in the dark night.

"I'll change my shoes. The ones I have now are too tight." Another person answered in the same low voice.

The person asking the question is Hou Kanshan.

The person who replied was Jiao Fenghe.

  When people in later generations watch movies made just after the liberation, they will wonder how people were so simple back then? They were either black or white, and they had clear likes and dislikes!

In fact, people of that era were really like this.

War can simplify the positions and emotions of the vast majority of ordinary people.

  If you are on our Chinese side, then let’s fight the Japanese together. If you are not on our Chinese side, then you are a traitor!

If you cannot make your position clear and act like a fence-sitter or waver in both directions at the critical moment, then it is very likely that you will lose your life immediately!

Yes, life is cheap. Everyone cherishes his own life, but in the eyes of others, your life is worthless because you have seen too many dead people!

Jiao Fenghe relied on his slow realization to save his life from among the many puppet soldiers who were shot by Japanese machine guns. Then, during the attack of the Japanese army, he used four grenades he had captured to repel the attack of the Japanese army below. After dark, he finally reached the top of the mountain.

Hou Kanshan finally found a like-minded person who dared to pretend to be a Japanese devil and even hide among the dead bodies. Jiao Fenghe had no choice but to become his partner.

Now, Shang Zhen had been down from the top of the mountain for more than an hour, so the two of them also came down the mountain according to Shang Zhen's prior arrangement.

The pair of shoes that Jiao Fenghe was originally wearing were taken off the feet of a Japanese soldier. People are afraid of being stabbed, so now that he has another chance to go down the mountain, he naturally wants to find himself a bigger pair of shoes from the corpses.

But those shoes are not that easy to find.

The reason is that Hou Kanshan and Jiao Fenghe are still wearing Japanese military uniforms, so he has to continue looking for Japanese military shoes!

  Otherwise, he was wearing the yellow leather clothes of the Japanese devils but a pair of ordinary people's thousand-layer soles on his feet. Once he encountered a situation, wouldn't he, the Japanese devil, be exposed?

"Hey, I told you to hurry up!" Hou Kanshan was thinking about meeting Shang Zhen, so he naturally continued to urge him.

"I don't look as ugly as you!" Jiao Fenghe muttered, and Hou Kanshan remained silent.

Hou Kanshan was not tall, although not as short as the average Japanese soldier, but when he dressed up as a Japanese soldier, it was always easier for him to find the Japanese devils' big-toed shoes.

After Jiao Fenghe went up the mountain, he had obtained the consent of the members of the District Team to change into the shoes of the soldiers of the District Team who had died, but Hou Kanshan said, "What are you changing for? You still have to pretend to be a Japanese devil!"

Jiao Fenghe said, the pair of shoes I'm wearing now are from the Japanese devils, they're too small and they squeeze my feet so much!

Hou Kanshan said, when you come down the mountain with me, you can pick out the big ones from the Japanese pile.

Jiao Fenghe's shoes were not changed.

  Hou Kanshan had originally agreed to change Jiao Fenghe's shoes, but now he was urged to hurry up. Jiao Fenghe was of course not happy about it. Everyone knows how uncomfortable it is to wear shoes on someone's feet. Especially now that they are walking on a mountain road, their feet will be squeezed and hurt if they move!

The rustling sound was heard again in the darkness, and this time Hou Kanshan was helping Jiao Fenghe find his shoes.

After more than ten minutes, Hou Kanshan finally found a pair of larger big-toed shoes for Jiao Fenghe to change into.

"How is it?" Hou Kanshan asked.

"It's okay, much better than the original pair." Jiao Fenghe replied.

After changing their shoes, the two of them carefully walked down the mountain.

However, although they were careful, they did not climb down as cautiously as Shang Zhen had done before. The reason, of course, was that Shang Zhen had already cleared the "roadblocks" for them.

In Shang Zhen's entire breakout plan, clearing the few Japanese troops on both sides of the road must be done in advance, otherwise a forced breakthrough would be necessary.

But everyone on the mountain knew that if they forced their way in, let alone the thirty or so people left on the mountain, even if there were hundreds of them, they would not be enough to withstand the Japanese army's gunfire, as they were using cannons to deal with them! So the correct approach was for Shang Zhen to clear out the Japanese army's sentries, and wait until after midnight, when the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain was paralyzed and tired, so that the remaining people could break out of the encirclement.

Hou Kanshan estimated that he and Jiao Fenghe had walked down for nearly a hundred meters, then he took out a small stone from his pocket and threw it forward.

The stone hit the stone on the side of the road and made a "clang" sound.

The sound was not actually a big noise, but it depended on the time. In the silent night, Jiao Fenghe felt that the sound was so harsh, no less than the sound of bullets piercing flesh when he was hiding among the dead.

Jiao Fenghe quickly took out the box gun hidden at his waist and lit it, looking vigilantly at the dark night around him.

  Jiao Fenghe didn't know much about Shang Zhen and the others. Not to mention that he didn't think Shang Zhen could definitely kill those Japanese soldiers. Even if Shang Zhen was fine, what if some Japanese soldiers slipped through the net?

Fortunately, after the stone hit the stone, there was no other unusual movement around.

"Don't put your finger on the trigger." Hou Kanshan said in a low voice in the night as if he saw Jiao Feng's actions.

"No." Jiao Fenghe answered, but he moved his finger that was on the trigger to the guard ring outside the trigger of the box gun.

"You have to throw two more pieces." Hou Kanshan's words shocked Jiao Fenghe again.

Then Hou Kanshan really threw two more stones, but in the dark night, the two stones did not bring any response.

"It's not here. Let's keep going." Hou Kanshan said.

Jiao Fenghe silently turned off the safety of the box gun and followed Hou Kanshan forward.

After the two men carefully stepped over a corpse that they didn't know whether it was a Japanese soldier or a puppet soldier, Jiao Fengsheng asked in a low voice: "What if there are Japanese soldiers that your battalion commander missed?"

"Are you a veteran?" Hou Kanshan asked instead of answering.

"Yes." Jiao Fenghe replied.

"Have you killed someone before? I mean, have you killed someone before this time?" Hou Kanshan asked again.

"I have killed them," Jiao Fenghe responded, and then added, "They were not ordinary people."

“You should know after having killed someone that who can be 100% sure? How can you fight a war if you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind? You have to accept your fate no matter what happens!” Hou Kanshan then made an official response.

Jiao Fenghe remained silent.

The two continued to descend, and after walking forward more than 20 meters, Hou Kanshan began to throw stones forward again, but still received no response.

Jiao Fenghe was no longer as nervous as before, but instead felt mixed emotions.

The good news was that although the stones made a loud noise when they were thrown, no Japanese soldiers appeared. The Japanese soldiers who had been hiding in the lower half of the mountain road during the day could not have withdrawn on their own initiative. The only explanation was that they had been killed by Shang Zhen.

  But Shang Zhen has not responded yet. Why?

Could it be that Shang Zhen died together with the Japanese devils?

After all, Jiao Fenghe had only just been with the people from Shang Zhen's camp. It could be considered that he was doing this for self-protection. It was still uncertain whether he would join Shang Zhen's camp when he really broke out, so naturally there was no question of him having any friendship with Shang Zhen and the others.

Despite this, he quickly dismissed this idea, which was still somewhat vicious.
