The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1994 The dangers of traitors

The Type 700 grenade launcher has a maximum range of 500 meters and an effective range of meters.

The Chinese troops on the periphery fired three grenades at a distance of about 500 meters. The first one hit the target, and the remaining two were not too far off the mark, but they were also far away from the mortar - the mortar fire.

But the problem is that just one grenade is enough. After all, the grenade body is larger than the grenade, and that one grenade can easily knock down a dozen artillerymen.

The Japanese captain certainly knew the data of the Type 89 grenade launcher, but he did not expect that this group of Chinese officers and soldiers could use the grenade launcher so skillfully!
He could imagine that the grenade launchers used by Chinese officers and soldiers must have come from the Imperial Japanese Army.

Because with the current level of China's military industry, it is impossible to produce a grenade launcher that can fire at such a long distance!

They used the ultra-light mortars captured from the Imperial Japanese Army to destroy their mortars. Do you think this Japanese captain would be angry?

Given that Shang Zhenying's combat capabilities were already well-known, the Japanese captain was very cautious. He launched an attack on Wujiaopo and expanded the defense circle behind him to 500 meters.

But who would have thought that the group of Chinese officers and soldiers actually got to within 500 meters and gave him a sudden attack with the grenade launcher's 500-meter effective range. But how did that group of Chinese officers and soldiers get there?

However, one thing is certain: the place where the Chinese soldiers fired the grenade launcher just now can only be a point in the Japanese defense circle, not a surface.

So without waiting for the Japanese captain to give orders, the Japanese troops on the left and right in front began to concentrate their fire on the place where the grenade launcher was fired.

As the flares in the sky were still working, the Japanese captain saw through the telescope that some Chinese soldiers were retreating into the darkness. Of course, some of them were shot and fell.

After a while, some soldiers came running over and began to report to him.

It turned out that there was a mud pond right next to the point where the Chinese army infiltrated.

His men ignored that place when they were defending, but they didn't expect that the Chinese soldiers crawled in from the muddy pond and killed two of their soldiers in the dark.

The two soldiers had been lying on the ground. After they were killed, the Chinese soldiers propped up their heads with small sticks. From a distance, they looked like good people!
The other soldiers were a little far away and didn't see it clearly. As a result, the other party placed the grenade launcher there and fired a fatal bullet at their mortar!

This battle was fought as if the area 500 meters south of Wujiaopo was the territory of the Imperial Japanese Army, and it would be unsafe beyond 500 meters.

The Japanese captain also fired flares into the distance, but it was useless. Beyond 500 meters, the terrain became complicated and no one knew where the Chinese troops were hiding.

It just so happens that this group of Chinese officers and soldiers are very accurate in shooting, and they are not much inferior to the Imperial Japanese Army in a battle!
The Japanese captain was actually quite annoyed with the way the battle had turned out.

But he had no good way to deal with the Shang Zhen camp on the periphery, so he could only try to calm himself down and analyze the battle, and he finally gained something.

Topographic factors.

Wujiaopo was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so they could only launch an attack from the south.

Although he expanded the defense circle at the back to 500 meters, the Chinese troops on the periphery always found a way to infiltrate.

The reason was that the terrain became complicated beyond 500 meters, with woods, bushes, farmland, and earthen mounds. His army's flares would have limited effect if they were fired from a distance of 500 meters.

If it weren't for the fact that there were mostly open areas within this 500-meter radius, he believed that the Chinese soldiers would be able to infiltrate his command post!

Combat power factor.

The soldiers in Shang Zhen’s camp were not afraid of them.

If other Chinese troops saw that they had a large force, even if they dared to resist, they would only fire a few shots from a few hundred meters away and then run away.

But Shang Zhenying was not like that. Instead, they clung to them like taffy.

If you fire flares, I will shoot at you from a distance. If you don't fire flares, we will come up to you!
The Chinese veterans on the mountain were more powerful. They were the Imperial Japanese Army attacking the mountain. At least there was no news of the two groups of soldiers he had sent to attack the mountain before.

Even now, the Japanese captain still believed that the people guarding the mountain were the Chinese veterans that Xu Lang had mentioned.

Also on the periphery, the Chinese soldiers who were harassing them were not afraid of them.

There are always people who use the external terrain to quietly sneak to the edge of their defense circle, either throwing grenades or firing a shot, and just now someone even used a grenade launcher!
In short, the Imperial Japanese Army is not good at night combat, or to be more precise, Shang Zhen’s battalion is better at night combat than them!
During the temporary silence, the Japanese captain suddenly heard what his translator was saying to the prisoner.

Considering that the prisoner captured this time was of a relatively high rank in the Eighth Route Army and cooperated with his interrogation, the Japanese captain felt that he still had great value. He did not execute him directly like he did other anti-Japanese elements. Instead, he just tied his hands and held him by his side.

In order to prevent this valuable prisoner from being discovered and shot by the Chinese army, he even dressed the guy in a set of clothes of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Looking at the prisoner, the Japanese captain had a new idea. He stepped forward and began to question the prisoner again through the translator.

Of course, the prisoner was Xu Lang.

The moment the Japanese army's cold bayonet pointed at his face and he was captured, Xu Lang had already decided to rebel. He knew that only by betraying could he survive!

The most sincere thought in his heart that he never deceives others or himself is, what could be more important than himself?
There is a saying that everything is possible.

When later generations interpreted this sentence, many people would say that people are complex, with both a good side and an evil side, a strong side and a weak side.

This is just like when some warlords in China are fighting in the civil war, their hands are stained with the blood of their fellow countrymen, but when fighting against Japan they show their national integrity, such as so-and-so and so-and-so.

But there is another statement that is also correct, which is that some people are born bad!
Because he is born a bad seed, you cannot expect him to become a good seed during his growth, because his genetic genes are not right at the root!

Xu Lang is not a born bad person, but he is opportunistic by nature!

Since I have been captured from that camp and become a prisoner of this camp, why don't I do better in this camp? If I die again, it will be even more of a loss!
Now let’s not talk about the highest-ranking Japanese officer here - the Japanese battalion commander came to question him. If the Japanese battalion commander didn’t come to question him, he would still like to give advice!
