The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1980 Sacrifice and Capture

"Boom", the Japanese army fired another flare at the top of Wujiaopo Mountain. Under the glow of the flare, there were shadowy figures of Japanese invaders holding Type 38 rifles, searching, running, or shooting.

And just to the northwest, in an open area behind a forest, the remaining members of the Eighth Route Army District team were running desperately towards a larger forest ahead.

"Has anyone seen our battalion commander?" someone shouted. It was Qian Chuaner.

When Qian Chuan'er shouted, Hou Kanshan and Shen Mugen answered almost at the same time: "I didn't see it!"

"You're still running!" Qian Chuan'er cursed, "Come back with me to meet the battalion commander!"

After Qian Chuan'er shouted like this, Hou Kanshan and Shen Mugen turned around and followed Qian Chuan'er to run back.

"Wait, we'll go with you!" The members of District Team also stopped and someone among them said.

Now they were neither close nor far from Wujiaopo. No matter how bright the flares were, the light was much weaker when it reached them, but they could hear that the person speaking was Wang Chuan.

"You guys better stop making trouble. When the time comes, we won't be able to figure out who will save whom!" Hou Kanshan replied to Wang Chuan unhappily, then he followed Qian Chuaner and Shen Mugen and ran back.

"Wait, I'm going too!" someone else shouted from the crowd, and then turned around and ran back with a gun in his hand. It was Jiao Fenghe.

After Jiao Fenghe made this move, there were more than ten puppet soldiers who defected to Shang Zhen with Qu's team.

These puppet troops came here to attack Shang Zhen, not to attack the Eighth Route Army District team.

Then a puppet soldier shouted, "Old Jiao, wait for me!" He turned around and chased Jiao Fenghe.

  The remaining puppet soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They originally wanted to hesitate and discuss the matter, but time was so tight at this moment, how could they discuss it?

Therefore, everyone's decision depended on their own heart, and some of the remaining puppet troops turned around and gave chase.

  People always follow the crowd. In this case, how could the remaining puppet troops be willing to stay with the Eighth Route Army? They turned around and chased after them.

As a result, the only people left on the spot were those from the Eighth Route Army District Squad, and the Eighth Route Army had to obey orders in all its actions.

Hou Kanshan's words just now, "You will only cause trouble if you go there," were really irritating to the Eighth Route Army, but Wang Chuan couldn't refute it.

The reason was simple. Hou Kanshan just said the truth without considering other people's feelings.

"Everyone, hurry up and leave!" Just after Wang Chuan was choked by Hou Waishan, Xu Lang shouted.

"I don't agree! Forget it, you go first, and I will go back to meet Captain Shang!" Wang Chuan was anxious at first, but on second thought, he had to admit that Hou Kanshan was right.

  It can be said that Shang Zhen rescued most of the people in their district team, but now, Shang Zhen was left alone to cover our Eighth Route Army District team, but he did not send anyone to rescue them. Wang Chuan couldn't get over it no matter what!

"Comrade Wang Chuan, are you going to disobey the party's command? Isn't it normal to sacrifice a small number of comrades to save the large army?" Xu Lang used what he was best at.

If it were normal times, Wang Chuan would definitely take Xu Lang's feelings into consideration, but now it was a battle, a life-and-death moment. As a veteran, Wang Chuan had no time to waste with Xu Lang. In a hurry, he said coldly: "Comrade Xu Lang, I will report your performance in this operation to my superiors truthfully!"

  After saying that, Wang Chuan turned around and took his box gun and chased Qian Chuaner, Hou Kanshan and the others!

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you retreat quickly? Are we all going to die in there?" Xu Lang was also anxious.

How could he not know what Wang Chuan meant by reporting truthfully to his superiors? In this operation, his performance was indeed disgraceful.

Upon hearing what Xu Lang said, Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Comrades, withdraw first. Anyone who can escape will be rewarded!"

He understood very well that what Hou Kanshan had just said was the truth and it would be useless for them to go.

But Captain Zhang never understood one thing: if one's life is just, then death is not a pity.

Chinese people, just because someone calls you a brother doesn't mean you are really a brother. Real brotherhood is earned by exchanging lives for each other's lives, and by taking bullets for each other.

Team Qu no longer cared about Qian Chuan'er and the others, and ran desperately towards the woods in front of them.

But they saw the woods ahead and just as they entered the woods, they heard gunshots behind them. When everyone looked back, under the glow of the flares, they saw that the people running in the front, whether it was Qian Chuan'er, Hou Kanshan and the others, or the puppet soldiers, had disappeared, and they had gone into the woods.

But they saw Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan was the last one to run over. The people in front had gone into the woods, but Wang Chuan was still running desperately.

  And in the subsequent gunfire, everyone in the district team saw Wang Chuan pause and then fall to the ground!

They peeked out from the edge of the woods and saw Japanese troops appearing in another part of the woods where they were.

Wang Chuan died just like that!

  A Red Army soldier who walked through the 25000-mile Long March, a Chinese soldier who once again devoted himself to the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement, died in this way!

The members of District Team couldn't believe what they saw, but facts were facts. After a moment, Xu Lang shouted "Retreat" again!

The flare in the sky was already falling, but everyone knew that before this flare fell, the Japanese army's second flare would rise.

The glow cast mottled shadows in the woods and onto the faces of the members of the 7th Team of the Eighth Route Army. Some soldiers from Qu's team showed expressions of reluctance and indignation.

  But now, what else can they do?

In terms of rank, both Xu Lang and Wang Chuan are higher than theirs, but they are not a combat unit. They came here for the bandits' wealth.

After all, Shang Zhen is from the Northeast Army, which makes him even inferior to Xu Lang and Wang's Sichuan Army.

  Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Not to mention Shang Zhen and Wang Chuan, even if they were sacrificed, the remaining people still have a chance to survive. So shouldn't we retreat?

Captain Zhang could only grit his teeth and say, "Retreat quickly!"

But in this situation, if they want to retreat, can they retreat?

They were at the edge of the woods, and when they stretched their necks they saw Japanese soldiers appearing in another part of the woods, but the Japanese soldiers also saw them.

Just as they turned and ran into the woods, Japanese bullets fired at them, and another soldier from District Squad was shot and fell to the ground.

"Everyone retreat quickly, I'll provide cover!" Captain Zhang shouted.

He fired the box gun in his hand towards the Japanese army, while other soldiers tried their best to get into the dense woods.

But it was obvious that the Japanese army had no intention of letting them go. With a "bang", another flare was fired into the sky by the Japanese army, and this time it was right above the woods.

The sound of gunfire, the "thump" of soldiers from both sides running, and the "rustle" of leaves being hit all mixed together and continued to echo in the woods.

  What shocked the members of Qu Team was that the Japanese troops were not just the ones they saw. Gunfire was heard again just in front of their right, and there were even Japanese troops emerging from the gaps between the trees there!

Soldiers from the district squad kept getting shot and falling to the ground, and then someone shouted, "Captain Zhang is dead!"

  The enemy situation was so severe that the remaining personnel had no choice but to run desperately in the direction where the Japanese troops were not spotted, and Xu Lang was the fastest runner among them!

Why Xu Lang runs the fastest?

That was not because he had strong marching ability and could run faster than the other soldiers, but because the others saw that the Japanese army would stop and shoot from time to time, but he was focused on running!

This was the first time Xu Lang experienced such a battle, and it was also the first time he was so close to the Japanese army.

  Now Xu Lang can't do anything else except running. He doesn't want to die. There are still so many things in this world worth his recollection!

While running panting like an ox, he even wondered whether he should pretend to be dead.

But he immediately gave up the idea.

Because veterans have said that playing dead on the battlefield is the most foolish behavior. After winning a battle, both the enemy and us will shoot or stab the enemy's corpse again!

Xu Lang finally got into a dense bush. When he got here, he could no longer run.

He was thinking that when the Japanese devils' flares fell from the sky and the place became dark, he would have a chance to escape.

But the subsequent development of the situation disappointed him. Before the first flare fell, the Japanese army fired the second bomb, and he could only lie down in the woods.

The bushes were very dense, and Xu Lang, who was lying on the ground, could see a gap in front of him in the mottled light and shadow cast by the flares.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of big toe shoes belonging to the Japanese army appear in front of him, and on top of the big toe shoes were naturally khaki leggings.

At this time, Xu Lang had forgotten that he was holding a gun in his hand, and he instinctively wanted to crawl backwards.

But he felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck. He turned his head subconsciously and saw the bayonet shining under the flare pointing at his eyes!
