The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2001 My eyes are rulers!
The weight of a grenade launcher does not exceed six kilograms. Although theoretically it is an ultra-light mortar, as its name suggests, it is really too light, so light that it is just a tube.

Because they are light and easy to carry, a Japanese squad would be equipped with two.

Because the Japanese army had so many grenade launchers, when the Shang Zhen Camp to their south launched another attack, there would naturally not be only one place where flares would be rising.

As the horses rushed in, more grenade launchers fired flares.

But at this moment, at the foot of the mountain south of Wujiaopo, there was a "bang" and a flare was fired.

However, this flare was not fired at Wujiaopo but towards the south. The operator also adjusted the angle a little higher, so the flare hit the area between their ambush position and the small village.

However, the area it illuminated was empty, with no sign of Chinese troops.

And in fact, this is exactly the case. Although Chu Tian hopes to disrupt the Japanese army to create a chance for Shang Zhen to escape, not all of them are suicide squads. Even Wang Xiaodaner and Ge Changli, who rushed the farthest, only rode their horses into the village, not to mention others.

Seeing that there was no other situation, the Japanese soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain did not fire any more flares. However, they did not know that at this moment, someone in front of the ambush Japanese soldiers had already exclaimed "That was a close call" in his heart. That person was Shang Zhen who had disguised himself as a Japanese soldier!

At a little after three o'clock, Shang Zhen started to move down from Wujiaopo, but it was not until now that he reached this position.

The reason is simple. The only way down the mountain is the mountain road that is now littered with corpses.

Shang Zhen is not afraid of dead people, he is afraid of living people. But there are living people on this road, such as the secret sentries left by the Japanese army on the mountain road.

Fortunately, Shang Zhen still remembered approximately where people could hide in the gaps between the rocks on both sides of the road.

Whenever he arrived at such a place, Shang Zhen could only throw stones to test the situation in order to alert the enemy. In the end, he really found that there were Japanese soldiers hiding in a certain place, and there were not just one or two, he estimated that there were at least four or five.

This time, Shang Zhen didn't even touch the sentry post. Instead, he used the most effective yet dumbest method - moving like a snail. God knows whether he moved half a foot or an inch at a time. Anyway, relying on his strong psychological quality and caution, he crawled past the Japanese army without making any sound!

Can you imagine the scene at that time?

The mountain road was only five or six meters wide, and there were invisible corpses and bloodstains on the road. The Japanese soldiers on one side of the road did not even notice that someone had crawled over just five meters away. It is conceivable how slowly Shang Zhen climbed.

Reason told Shang Zhen that if he didn't want to perish together with the Japanese devils, he could not fight with them anymore, at least not before he saw hope of escaping!
It took Shang Zhen more than an hour to get down from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and his intuition told him that there must be an ambush by the Japanese army ahead, although he didn't know what it was.

Of course he understood that it was not a good idea to rush into such a matter. The best way was to wait until the Japanese army revealed their weakness.

But the time he had to wait was limited, and he did not forget that dawn was almost approaching.

And at this time, Chu Tian and his men in the south began their action. Shang Zhen could not help but guess his own people's intentions, but the Japanese army did not make any movement at all!

Shang was very anxious at that time, thinking, "Damn Japanese, you people in the south have already fired flares, why don't you fight back?"

But why didn't they fight? This reasoning was too simple for Shang Zhen. The Japanese were afraid that the flares would let him see how they were ambushing, right?

Therefore, the quieter the Japanese troops on this side were, the more he believed that they were lying in ambush, and the more he dared not act rashly.

But the problem is that he can wait, but time can’t wait any longer, and daybreak is about to arrive!
Finally, just when Shang Zhen was planning to try his luck again, the Japanese army actually fired flares to the south!
Logically speaking, although the Japanese flare was fired close to here, the light was just barely enough to reach here and was not as bright as daylight. But at this moment, Shang Zhen was lying on his stomach with his head raised to look forward.

With the bright sky as the background, two black ropes stretched more than ten meters ahead finally appeared in Shang Zhen's vision!
The heights of the two ropes were one high and one low, the high one was no higher than the knees, and the low one was no higher than the head, and there were many empty cans tied to the ropes. When Shang Zhen saw the two ropes, he instantly understood that this was a simple and practical "trap" set by the Japanese army for him.

As long as I come down from the mountain, no matter if I bend forward with a gun or crawl forward, I will bump into the rope, and the two empty cans will make a noise when they collide. Then, even if the Japanese army does not use flares but only uses flashlights, I will definitely not be able to escape from their firepower network!
In this world, there are of course many unsolved mysteries, but most of them are like what Shang Zhen saw, such as two ropes tied to empty cans by the Japanese army. When you don't know, it seems insurmountable, but when you know it, it is worthless! Just like a magic trick, fake is fake after all.

After lying on the spot and seeing the two ropes, Shang Zhen reacted immediately. It was useless to just see them, he had to go over there himself!
But how to get there? Of course, you can't just walk over when the flares are shining brightly in the sky. You have to wait until the flares fall and it's dark again.

The two ropes were very long, and even if they were not long, Shang Zhen had no intention of going around them.

Because he was already familiar with the mechanisms and traps set by the Japanese army here. If he went to a place he had never seen before, who knows what the Japanese army would set up, and he would face unknown risks, which would not be worth it.

So the most realistic thing is to wait until it gets dark, walk to the rope and step over it. Yes! Step over it!

In order to cross over, you must know the exact distance between your current position and the two ropes, so that you will not trip over the two ropes, one high and one low, when you lift your legs.

While the flare had not completely fallen, Shang Zhen began to quickly judge the distance between himself and the two ropes and the distance between the two ropes.

This intuitive judgment only takes a moment.

And in the same instant, the flare fell, but Shang Zhen had already memorized the distance.

However, the flares nearby were extinguished, but the Japanese army's flares were still rising in the distance, especially in the village. The Japanese army fired another flare, but then there were gunshots and explosions.

The explosion must have come from his own village, because Shang Zhen saw the flash of a grenade exploding here.

But there was no point in being anxious, he still needed to wait until the flares stopped rising.

Shang Zhen believed that although the Japanese troops here were trying to prevent him from sneaking over, some of them would definitely turn back to pay attention to the battle situation ahead.

Although it was already very dark here, once there were Japanese soldiers hiding at one end of the rope, that is, my end, then in the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the situation when I crossed the two ropes would be no different in essence from when I discovered the two ropes with the light of flares as the background. After all, how could the thin rope be compared with my body?

Shang Zhen waited again, and his mood became conflicted.

On the one hand, he certainly did not want the battle in the south to end quickly. If it ended quickly, the possibility of his own defeat would be greater. On the other hand, the Japanese army would not fire flares until the battle was over.

This is really a torture and test for Shang Zhen!
Time passed little by little as Shang Zhen waited, and when a hint of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, the flares finally fell and no more flares were rising, Shang Zhen was shocked.

He stood up directly in the darkness, and walked forward with the most normal pace and the most normal mentality.

He counted his steps silently in his mind.

Of course he knew how far apart his step was. The two ropes in front were just where he had taken fourteen steps, and the distance between the two ropes was less than one step.

You must believe in yourself, your eyes are the ruler! A normal person walking in the pitch-black night is no different from a blind person walking in the daytime.

But when Shang Zhen took the tenth step, he suddenly thought of the blind man and smiled slightly, although this smile seemed so inappropriate at this time.
