The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2016 Dangerous Tail

It is said that Shandong is a province with a large population. How come we haven’t seen a village after walking for such a long time?

But we can’t all go to Guandong, right?
Shang Zhen thought, feeling tired and sleepy in the woods. At this time, he had been walking in the woods for more than two hours.

The sound of gunfire had faded away and became inaudible, leaving behind fatigue from the march and pain from the wound on my left calf.

The sun came out, but the dew in the forest was still there, and the wounds wet by the dew were particularly painful.

Shang Zhen struggled to climb to a high point where there were not many trees, and habitually looked back using the cover of the trees.

The road was lush with trees when we came here, and there were large gaps between the trees, which were also open areas with gray or green grass.

The open area that Shang Zhen could see now was two or three miles away from him. He looked there to prevent any pursuers.

He just stared at the open space for a while, but no one appeared.

It seems that I had killed more than ten Japanese soldiers at once with my box gun, which intimidated them!
So he ignored the back and started looking in other directions.

At this time, he was surprised to find that there were fields in front of his original direction, and there were woods and hills at the end of the fields.

But this is not the most important thing. What is important is that he saw smoke, smoke from cooking, and that smoke should be behind the hill.

Wherever there is smoke from cooking, there are people living there, and where there are people living there, there is food to eat. Shang Zhen saw hope.

Shang Zhen struggled to stand up and began to move towards the land of hope again.

For someone like him who had been marching and fighting for many years, fatigue was not a big deal to a certain extent. He learned to try his best to forget all physical discomfort, as if that body was not his own.

Shang Zhen's back was limping.

It's hard to walk if you have blisters on the soles of your feet, let alone the fact that he was shot in the left leg!

Fortunately, the bullet did not remain in his calf. As for what the wound would look like after it became inflamed, that was not a problem Shang Zhen could consider now.

But Shang Zhen didn't know at this time that his back as he turned and left had appeared in a telescope, and the person holding the telescope was Xu Lang!
Right next to Xu Lang were the Japanese captain and the translator.

Behind them was a huge group of Japanese soldiers standing with guns in their hands, like jackals appearing in the forest!

"Is it Shang Zhen? Lord Qingzhong is asking you?" the interpreter urged.

Hearing the translator's urging, Xu Lang quickly put down the telescope in his hand and said, "Report to Lady Qingzhong, the man in front is Shang Zhen, but he seems to be injured!"

"Yes, that's it. The imperial army has already seen whether you are injured or not." The interpreter reprimanded Xu Lang again, and Xu Lang bowed hurriedly and said yes.

The interpreter no longer paid attention to Xu Lang, but told the Japanese officer who was cleaning the tomb that Xu Lang had confirmed Shang Zhen's identity.

The Japanese captain named Qingzuka thought for a moment and then gave orders one after another.

So they divided the Japanese troops into three parts. He led one part to pursue along the original route, while the other two parts naturally began to encircle the enemy in a roundabout way.

Anyway, Qingzhong has already observed that Shang Zhen is definitely injured.

It is said that in this war, the Japanese army once created a record of killing the enemy with a single shot from 800 meters away with a Type 38 rifle. However, it is conceivable that such a shooter is definitely one in a million, and the group of Japanese soldiers behind obviously did not have such a sharpshooter.

The Japanese soldiers who were chasing Shang Zhen at first were horrified by his marksmanship and did not attack him, but just followed him.

Of course, there were times when they lost track of Shang Zhen, but then another soldier found traces of Shang Zhen walking in the grass. As for the Japanese battalion leader Qingzhong, it had been a while since he caught up with his troops.

However, he admired his men for not acting rashly.

Now the captain of the tomb-cleaning team has also discovered how difficult Shang Zhen is to deal with, and the ten men he saw when he rushed over, who were shot dead by Shang Zhen, are proof of this!

The Japanese battalion commander Qingzuka was not an ignorant Japanese. He actually led his battalion to fight against an entire division of the National Army.

But how did the national army division fight?
It cannot be said that those Chinese officers and soldiers ran away as soon as they saw the shadow of the Imperial Japanese Army, but they were also doomed to collapse at the first touch!
The damage caused to his brigade by that one division was not as great as that caused by Shang Zhen's battalion!

So, it’s okay for his men to be cautious with Shang Zhen!

It can be said that Shang Zhen was negligent in this regard, but it was also because the Japanese army treated him in an uncharacteristic way this time!
Fighting has always been a contest of intelligence and strength between the enemy and us. There is only relative chance of winning but not absolute chance of winning.

The Japanese army began to act under the order of Qingzhong, but there was a detail in this battle that was overlooked by both the enemy and us!
The Japanese troops who had detoured on the left wing had just passed through a forest when they were surprised to find that there was a road ahead!

The kind of road that can be ridden by a horse-drawn carriage, even though it's bumpy!

If you were to ask why these Japanese troops knew that horse-drawn carriages could be used on this road, it was because they saw a Chinese citizen driving a horse-drawn carriage on the road, only fifty or sixty meters away from them!

The Japanese army tracked Shang Zhen all the way down the battlefield, but where did they get the road? They had no cavalry, and the officers and soldiers of Shang Zhen's camp marched a long distance without sleeping all night before starting the battle. Wasn't it the same for the Japanese army?

And now they really saw the road, and there was even a carriage on the road!
What are these Japanese troops going to do? They want to make a detour and intercept Shang Zhen, so having a horse-drawn carriage would be the best!

Some Japanese soldiers raised their rifles, but were immediately whispered reprimanded by the leading officer.

What was the point of the reprimand? At this critical moment when Shang Zhen was about to be trapped in the encirclement, could he shoot? If he shot, wouldn't Shang Zhen run away like a rabbit?

Under the command of the leading officer, all the Japanese troops took advantage of the terrain to hide in the carriage!

In the carriage was a young man, about twenty years old, wearing a double-breasted jacket. He was grinning, which was of course caused by the shaking of the carriage.

He was also in a hurry, so the carriage was driving fast. He drove the carriage fast even on such a road. What would that person say?

It looked very beautiful flying in the clouds, but it almost turned his internal organs upside down!

Of course, there are rubber tires nowadays, which ordinary people call rubber wheels.

But the problem is that not only ordinary people, but even the landlords and wealthy families don’t have it!

How much rubber can China produce in a year? How many rubber wheels can be made from that rubber? Even if there is, it is not for the civilians, it is called strategic materials.

So the wheels of this carriage are made of wood.

Wooden wheels are not like the inflatable rubber wheels, so you can imagine how bumpy they would be when they are driving on this bumpy dirt road.

Fortunately, the young man in the carriage was not going to die. It happened that the pothole the carriage passed through was a bit deep and big, so the carriage was shaken a bit more violently than before.

The young man sitting on the carriage lost control of his body balance due to the bump and leaned back, falling directly on the carriage.

"Damn beast--" the young man was still cursing.

But when he was lying down, he was surprised to see the shadow of a Japanese soldier wearing khaki uniform and holding a rifle on his left side!
Moreover, since he was lying on his back, the Japanese devils he saw were all lying upside down!
