The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1986 Both Sides Accumulate Strength
"***" Under the glow of the flare, a Japanese soldier shouted and pointed to the mountain road. Then the Japanese soldier saw a figure suddenly flash among the row of corpses.

"Pa" "Pa" "Pa"

Gunshots rang out again at the foot of the mountain, and several more bodies were shot. It was not known whether they were from the Japanese or puppet troops.

"***" This time it was a Japanese officer who shouted. His command knife flashed under the flares, and he was ordering his soldiers to attack.

But as fast as he raised the knife, it fell even faster. There was also the sound of firing from the Type 38 rifle on the mountain, and the command knife in the hand of the Japanese officer fell down immediately.

What caused the Japanese samurai's sword to be covered in dust? The answer is Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen's accurate shot was immediately met with fierce fire retaliation from the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain.

But so what? Emotional catharsis cannot defeat the enemy. This is true for the Chinese and the Japanese!
"***" The Japanese army's shout rang out again, and this time the shout could almost be called a roar. Even Shang Zhen who was hiding in the darkness on the top of the mountain could hear it.

But what is strange is that as the Japanese soldiers' shouts sounded this time, they stopped shooting. Now there was no fighting in all directions. When the gunshots rang out from this end, a rare silence appeared in the mountains and wilderness, and only the roar echoed in the mountains and wilderness.

The Japanese army's gunfire stopped, and all the soldiers at the foot of the mountain who might be exposed to the mountain's shooting range found places to hide.

Then the Japanese commander stopped roaring and began to deploy his troops. Under the light of the flares, there were only the figures of Japanese soldiers holding rifles and surrounding the mountain.

"Pa!" A Japanese soldier was suddenly slapped in the face. The person who hit him was the Japanese officer who had been roaring just now and was still furious.

He was a captain of the Japanese army, and it was he who was ordered to mobilize his battalion to eliminate Shang Zhen.

The officer yelled at the Japanese soldier loudly. The Japanese soldier who was beaten quickly shouted "Hi" and put his gun at attention to prepare for the beating.

But as soon as he adjusted his posture, he was slapped in the face again.

At this point, the Japanese soldier finally understood what the commander meant by his words.

He quickly removed the bayonet from his rifle, and the other Japanese soldiers then understood why their captain was angry - the bayonet would reflect the light of the flare and expose the target in the dark, which was how their squad leader who had just been killed died.

From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the farthest distance is no more than 300 meters. Even at this distance, the veterans of the Imperial Japanese Army can hit the target with one shot.

And it was obvious that the Chinese soldier who was now surrounded by them on the mountain was also a good shooter.

And based on his marksmanship, the Chinese man on the mountain who shot very accurately was most likely their target this time - Shang Zhen, because according to intelligence, Shang Zhen's marksmanship was extremely accurate!

So next, the Japanese soldiers continued to run around Wujiaopo Mountain and set up their battle formations, but the bayonets were no longer visible.

"What are the Japs doing?" Shang Zhen was secretly observing the Japanese troops below on the top of the southern slope of Wujiaopo.

Wujiaopo is such a terrain, with steep cliffs on all sides and only one mountain road leading up from the south.

But of course he also believed that there were many rock climbing experts among the Japanese army who could also climb up, but in that case, he could only accept his fate.

Now he was the only one on the top of the mountain, and he could only look at the road to the south.

After he was discovered by the Japanese army, if he ran southwest, he would be within the Japanese army's field of vision, in other words, within the Japanese army's shooting range.

If you run to the southeast, although it is out of the Japanese army's sight, there is also an open area there.

Shang Zhen believed in the Japanese army's marksmanship. With his cautious character, he would not gamble on running in the open and being shot by the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him.

Then his only choice was to go up the mountain.

It had been a while since the Japanese saw him and he finally went up the mountain. It certainly took some time for the Japanese to confirm that he was on the mountain.

During this period of time, Shang Zhen collected some more weapons, including three Type 38 rifles, a box gun, and five or six grenades. Together with what he had picked up before, he now had ten grenades and several Japanese bullet boxes.

Originally, Shang Zhen could have found more, but when they were going down the mountain, some of them were picked up by the people from Qu Team.

Shang Zhen had no idea about his future. In other words, he didn't know whether he could escape this time. But what he was sure of was that even if the Japanese army captured him this time, he would break a few teeth of the Japanese army even if he was a piece of stubborn iron!

The Japanese army discovered him just now because he happened to see a box gun below and went to take it.

Shang Zhen had also thought about what would happen if he was not exposed. If he was not exposed, he would have to hide on the top of the mountain.

But looking at the posture of the Japanese army this time, they will definitely not let me go. Even if they have to dig three feet into the ground, they will have to dig me out at least!

So, instead of dying in frustration, it’s better to fight to your heart’s content!
Besides, after you use up all your bullets, you can still hide in the mountains. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to prepare two more grenades. Otherwise, you will be killed at the critical moment!
As for his own reinforcements, Shang Zhen also thought about it, but he didn't think too much about it because he was used to traveling alone and had been hunted down by the Japanese army time and time again.

Most of the time it was all his own fault. If he had counted on reinforcements, he would have died countless times!
But he was not thinking about the reinforcements, while the reinforcements were thinking about him.

However, Qian Chuan'er, Hou Kanshan, Shen Mugen and those puppet soldiers went through a drastic psychological process in order to save him.

They first succeeded in a sneak attack on the Japanese mortars in the south, and were naturally overjoyed. However, when the Japanese troops coming from the northwest also fired flares, they were dumbfounded!

In order to avoid retaliation from the Japanese army that was coming later, they could only flee far away.

"What should we do?" Qian Chuan'er and Hou Kanshan were both worried in the dark.

Finally, after discussing for a while, the only thing they could come up with was that they should watch the southwest and southeast sides of the Japanese army to prevent any Japanese troops from climbing up the cliffs to the top of the mountain.

As for the south, they had no good solution. They couldn't get there at all and could only rely on Shang Zhen himself.

At this time, in the darkness in the northwest direction, Chu Tian, ​​Cheng Peng and Liu Keqiang were also observing the situation in Wujiaopo with telescopes.

On the way they ran into the Japanese troops who were coming to encircle Wujiaopo, so they naturally ambushed them and tripped them up until they voluntarily withdrew from the battle.

But who would have thought that the marching routes of the enemy and ours were actually the same. When they reached the northwest of Wujiaopo, the Japanese army at Wujiaopo fired flares, and the enemy and ours discovered each other again.

So there was another round of fighting! Until Chu Tian and his men were afraid of more losses and took the initiative to withdraw from the battle.

"It seems to me that the Japanese have surrounded Wujiaopo." Chu Tian said after putting down the telescope.

"I think so too." Liu Keqiang responded.

"I don't know who the Japanese have surrounded up there, and whether the battalion commander is among them," said Cheng Peng.

"I feel that the Japanese are coming for our battalion this time, especially our battalion commander. We have to think of a way to rescue the battalion commander. Oh, what should we do?" Chu Tian was also worried.

The three of them discussed for a while but couldn't come up with a good solution.

The reason here, of course, is that they would definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese army by force.

After the three of them were silent for a while, Chu Tian said, "Then let's learn from the Eighth Route Army and let our people know about this situation. Let's work together to find a solution and see who has the best idea!"
