The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1976 The Match That Should Not Be Lighted

In the dark night, behind a large rock, a faint light flashed, and then a wisp of smoke produced by burning dissipated into the void.

"Puff, puff, puff." Bian Xiaolong quickly spat on his hands.

It turned out that she had just lit a match to check the time on her watch.

  But she also looked at the time and found that the light of the match was still too bright, so she was so scared that she quickly covered it with her hand!

I hope the little fire I just created won't cause any trouble! Bian Xiaolong thought to himself and listened attentively.

But in the silent night, she didn't hear any other sounds, which made her feel relieved.

Come to think of it, Wujiaopo only has the southern slope for pedestrians to walk on, and the Japanese devils could never have imagined that he and Da Laoben could come down from the northern cliff.

  If the Japanese devils had thought of sending people down, they could have also sent people to climb up the cliffs on the north side during the attack!

After a while, Bian Xiaolong heard light footsteps at the foot of the mountain behind him.

  Listening to that sound, Bian Xiaolong suddenly thought of a phrase, which was "the elephant is invisible", but now? Now it is "the elephant is silent"!

It’s just that this elephant is not that elephant. That elephant refers to a macroscopic thing, which Bian Xiaolong can’t explain clearly, while this elephant refers to Big Laoben!

"Big idiot, I'm here!" Bian Xiaolong said in a low voice.

Sure enough, the footsteps were heading towards him. After a while, Da Laoben walked up to Bian Xiaolong in the dark and asked in a low voice, "I just saw a light. What's going on?"

"I struck a match and wanted to see what time it was." Bian Xiaolong said guiltily.

But as she expected, Big Old Fool did not scold her but asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight." replied Bian Xiaolong.

The stupid one just said “Oh”.

"Did you hang up the dummy?" asked Bian Xiaolong.

The old fool said "Yeah".

"Okay, okay!" Bian Xiaolong laughed softly in the dark night.

  She seemed to have seen it. When the Japanese flares rose, the Japanese soldiers in the distance discovered the person hanging on the hillside. Yes! It was a person, not a dummy! The Japanese soldiers must have thought that someone was climbing down the mountain!

Then the Japanese devils opened fire at full force and shot the dummy, which was actually just filled with straw, full of holes.

  Finally, when the Japanese devils came over at dawn, they found out that they were just hitting a dummy. This was simply her version of Borrowing Arrows from the Straw Boat!

This is the idea that Bian Xiaolong gave to Da Laoben.

Originally, the two of them had already come down from the mountain. Bian Xiaolong suddenly had an idea and said, "Big fool, why don't you hang a dummy on the mountain!"

Da Lao Ben asked her why she hung the dummy.

  Bian Xiaolong said, if the battle broke out at that moment, the Japanese would be firing flares. Once they fired the flares and saw people on the cliff, wouldn't we just run away?

Da Lao Ben thought the idea was feasible and agreed. He knew that Bian Xiaolong had her spare clothes in her bag.

The two of them found some green grass at the foot of the mountain and stuffed it into their clothes, and also put a Northeast Army hat on the top of the clothes.

Although it was dark, Da Laoben could imagine that when the dummy was hung on the stone wall, it would be like a scarecrow in the rice field to scare away crows.

  Of course they both knew that they were dummies, but the Japanese soldiers didn’t know!

No matter how bright the flares are, it is not daytime after all, and this dummy can still serve to attract Japanese firepower.

  "Let's go east quickly. I think the battalion commander and his men have already come down." Da Lao Ben said, and said "OK" to Xiao Long. The two of them went to the east of Wujiaopo.

At this time, on the hillside south of Wujiaopo, Shang Zhen was squatting carefully next to a stone at the foot of the mountain with a box gun on his shoulder.

Just behind Shang Zhen, the members of Qu's team were walking westwards around the Wujiapo Mountain at the foot of the mountain. After Shang Zhen and his men smashed the five Japanese soldiers to death with stones, Shang Zhen unexpectedly reached the foot of the mountain when he walked down again, and he never ran into the Japanese sentries again.

But Shang Zhen understood that the Japanese army could not fail to guard against their breakout, and there must be more Japanese troops waiting in front of them.

When Shang Zhen was observing the terrain before dark, he had already noticed that there were patches of bushes not far ahead at the foot of the mountain.

It is impossible for the Japanese army not to find cover for themselves, so there must be a Japanese soldier in the bush with his gun pointed at the mountain.

His way of escaping was that, since he had already descended the mountain, he would take advantage of the night to bypass the front of the Japanese army under their noses, and then enter the fields after getting around to the west.

If this is really possible, then they will be able to "let fish leap as far as the sea is wide and let birds fly as high as the sky is high"!

The people from the district team behind Shang Zhen walked very slowly and no one made any sound. Even the wounded soldiers endured the pain and did not groan.

  The stars in the sky are still as bright as before, and it is still as dark in front of Wujiaopo. How much Shang Zhen wishes that this is just an ordinary march!

But will things really develop so smoothly in the future?

"Big Stupid, do you think we should shoot now?" Bian Xiaolong, who was walking with Big Stupid with a box gun in his hand, asked in a low voice.

"Why?" Big Lao Ben was puzzled.

At this time, the two of them had of course left the place where they landed from the mountain, and were more than a hundred meters away from the straw man they were hanging on.

Since the straw man is a fake target, they certainly won't stay with that straw man.

Of course a straw man can be used to "borrow arrows", but a person cannot.

  No matter how many arrows the straw man is hit by, he is just a hedgehog. But if they are hit by a lot of arrows, they will be shot into a sieve!

"It's midnight now. According to the battalion commander's plan, shouldn't we fire our guns at this time to cover their retreat?" asked Bian Xiaolong.

"The shooting is to cover the retreat of the battalion commander and his men, but now we haven't heard any gunshots, which means everything is going smoothly for the battalion commander. So why are we shooting?" Big Stupid explained patiently.

Bian Xiaolong said "Oh", she knew that she was thinking wrongly, if she shot now, she would be looking for trouble!

When Bian Xiaolong was about to say, "Let's go out for a while," his mouth was suddenly covered by Da Lao Ben's big hand: "Someone is coming!" Da Lao Ben whispered in his ear.

Hearing what Da Laoben said, Bian Xiaolong was naturally shocked and subconsciously pulled out his box gun.

If anyone came at this time, it must be the Japanese army.

Bian Xiaolong instinctively thought of the match he had struck earlier.

She thought that with the big rock blocking the view and her hands still covering it, the light produced by the lit match should not reach the other side of the rock.

After all, it is unlikely that the Japanese army is at the foot of the mountain. If there is a Japanese lookout post, it should only be far away on the other side of the rock.

It’s true that Bian Xiaolong was right to think so.

But the trouble was that when he lit the match, he was hiding behind a rock to his north, but there happened to be two Japanese sentries to the west.

  The rocks on the north side could not block the west side, so the two Japanese sentinels really saw the fleeting flames in the darkness.

Now, the Japanese sentries are coming this way cautiously!
