The War of Resistance

When Shang Zhen discovered that his own cavalry was attacking the retreating Japanese army, he actually regretted it in his heart.

He regretted that he should have taken his dozen or so people and run further.

How far did you run? At least they don't have to get involved in this battle.

And all of this only stems from the most straightforward truth, that is, how can anyone fight without dying?

He didn't know how many of the eleven of them would be left in this battle, but he had to fight.

Failure to fight would mean that the Chinese cavalry that had come around and charged the Japanese frontally would be fired upon by Japanese machine guns.

A soldier with little combat experience like Xu Shenwei could think of the need to be careful of the Japanese heavy machine guns during a cavalry charge. How could Shang Zhen not think of this?

If Shang Zhen led his troops and fled far away, he was out of sight and out of mind, so he didn't care how the battle was going on. But after all, he didn't walk away. Since he didn't walk away, even if someone like him knew how to save his life, The Taoist veterans saw that their own cavalry was about to be massacred by the enemy's machine guns, could they really stay out of it?

As Ma Erpao shouted, we are also soldiers, we are not here to watch the fun.

As Xu Shenwei shouted, we are warriors, we are not spectators!

So when his own cavalry was charging, Shang Zhen, who realized that the cavalry casualties were going to be heavy, had already begun to move quickly to the side. The reason why he wanted to stay so far away from his fellow soldiers was that in his heart he wanted to just participate by himself. But his own soldiers also stayed out of the fight.

Even though he knew it was almost impossible!

But when he was aiming and shooting at the Japanese army, all thoughts were forgotten by him.

Some people say that life is like reading a book. There is a process of reading thinly, thickly, and thinly.

But what about the growth of a warrior?

When I first joined the army, I was on a battlefield where bullets and shrapnel were flying, and I saw my comrades fall down after being hit by gunshots, and even a living person was directly turned into body parts by gunfire. At this time, there would be a feeling. A feeling of bewilderment.

Regardless of whether it was washed away by the waves or made into steel, when the recruit survived each battle, he gained his own understanding of the battle.

Once a battle begins, you must devote yourself to fighting the enemy. You must put aside everything that has nothing to do with life and death, even the life and death of your own companions. Everything is "like a wild goose flying across the sky without leaving a trace."

Of course, all these words "are like geese flying across the sky without leaving a trace" were not what Shang Zhen could say, but they were what he had recited casually when he and Big Laoban were meditating and purifying their minds.

Shang Zhen didn't care which eminent monk said this. In his opinion, since it was said by the great master, it must be a principle invented by the great master.

At this stage, he has been able to maintain his sanity as much as possible. Shang Zhen, who has enough combat survival experience, naturally knows how to maintain advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It must be admitted that the Chinese people are very tolerant. In order to survive, they can endure what many other nations in the world cannot endure.

But if you just tolerate it but don't know how to resist, wouldn't you really become a slave and a coward?

Just like another song written by the great musician who composed the music for the "Yellow River Cantata": "Blow the trumpet, click, click, click, click. Play the small bronze drum, and the dragon will click. Hold a small knife and gun in your hand. , charge to the battlefield. Kill the traitors with one sword, and shoot the Japanese with one shot. Don’t be afraid of being young, just be afraid of not resisting!"

This kind of song calls for the whole nation to resist the war, which is something that all children should understand. So how come adults like Shang Zhen don't understand it?

Shang Zhen could only try his best to avoid unnecessary sacrifices for himself and his soldiers, but when it came to life and death between the enemy and ourselves, we must resist. After all, we must "build a new Great Wall with our lives." !

Seeing that the firing line in front was blocked, Shang Zhen glanced to the left, which was the hill they had evacuated from earlier.

This glance was just the subconscious of a veteran.

At this glance, he turned around and pointed the rifle towards the hill.

Just because he saw Japanese soldiers running towards the hill with guns, and even two Japanese soldiers had climbed halfway up the hill.

Aiming the gun, his gaze penetrated the void, and the muzzle of the gun was locked as firmly as his gaze on the Japanese army climbing up the mountainside with a light machine gun.

That hill is less than 200 meters away from Shang Zhen. With Shang Zhen's marksmanship, even if he stands up and shoots with no support, it is enough to take the opponent's life, not to mention that he is still lying on the ground. of.

With a "pop" gunshot, the Japanese soldier on the distant mountain suddenly threw his gun and hit it on the hillside.

Shang Zhen stopped the gun again and pushed again. He turned the gun slightly and pointed it at the second Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldier saw his companions being shot and knew that their actions had been discovered by the Chinese army.

But the hill was bare, that is, there was a tree on the top of the hill. Where could he hide?

He could only run hard towards the mountain.

It's just an exaggeration to say that we are racing against death. In the physical world, humans can only run a little more than ten meters per second on flat ground. How can they outrun bullets that fly hundreds of meters per second? head?

The Japanese soldier also hit the mountain amidst Shang Zhen's gunfire and followed in the footsteps of his companions.

But at this time, Shang Zhen stopped shooting. He glanced at the terrain on his left, rolled and hid himself behind a ridge that was barely enough to cover his body.

If your marksmanship is too accurate and you kill too many enemies, God will be jealous, right? It's better to change the shooting position.

Now there is chaos on the other side of the road. Anyway, our own cavalry is already rampaging on that road.

Previously, the Japanese army was eager to retreat and should have ignored the hill.

But now that the Japanese army has been besieged, it has become an urgent action for the Japanese army to avoid passively seizing the hill that is the only commanding height here. If that hill is really occupied by the Japanese army, with that hill as a basis, then The casualties of the Chinese army can only be greater.

And realizing this was the so-called subconsciousness that Shang Zhen had when he glanced at the hill before.

He had been shooting in this position for a while now. Anyway, there were no enemies behind them. He hid himself behind the ridge that could block his lying body and looked at the hill in the distance.

With the cover of this ridge, he could see the Japanese troops on the hills, but the Japanese troops on the road could not see him. This was also his subconscious.

The subconscious always comes too quickly, but it is much simpler than speaking out!

The sound of gunshots from the rear of the highway was getting closer and closer. It was the infantry of the Chinese army approaching again with the support of cavalry. Maybe there were Japanese troops guarding on the other side of the hilltop. However, the Japanese army was defeated and had to give up after all. Instead of resisting on the spot, they rushed northward desperately.

When the gunshots became sparse and sporadic until they finally stopped ringing, hundreds of Chinese officers and soldiers with guns stood on the battlefield, as well as a few snorting horses standing beside the fallen cavalry.

Shang Zhen sat up from his shooting position. When there were footsteps behind him and someone called him "sir" again, Shang Zhen did not look back. Instead, he sighed and asked: "Our people How many more were killed?"
