The War of Resistance

Mr. Wang is over 50 years old. He first worked as a bandit in his gang, and later became Marshal Zhang when the shopkeeper Zhang Da in his gang rose to the position. He also changed from a small boy in the northeast gang to Zai Zi rose to become the platoon leader of the Northeast Army.

When a group of bandits fly out of the chicken coop like pheasants and turn into golden phoenixes, they will also be talking about being high-class, in other words, they will also undergo formal transformation.

For example, the Northeastern Army actually established a navy that was unique to China at that time. It also had an air force with hundreds of aircraft. Of course, the result was that those aircraft fell into the hands of the Japanese after September 18th.

For another example, the Northeast Army will also establish military academies. The Central Army has the Huangpu Military Academy, and the Northeast Army has the Northeast Army Military Academy.

Although it is said that the Northeast Army's martial arts school only trains junior officers, who are just company and platoon commanders when they come out, Mr. Wang didn't have that opportunity, because he didn't know a few words at the time.

In the words of later generations, it is called "Academic qualifications do not determine your upper limit but determine your lower limit."

However, the platoon leader of Mr. Wang was appointed solely because he was smart enough in actual combat and had a bachelor's personality.

Because of this, even though he is very qualified to be a soldier and has accumulated a lot of combat experience, he has to admit that he still has the forest beard, in other words, the bandit gene in his bones.

What is the gene for Northeastern beard? Although bandits across China generally do similar things, mostly robbing homes, killing people, extorting goods, and kidnapping for extortion, bandits in various regions also have their own regional characteristics.

The characteristic of Northeastern beards is the "bachelor" spirit.

How about cruel? That must be true. Then there is such a thing as cutting out people's hearts with a knife and making meat soup. How can you bully people and scare them if you don't do it ruthlessly?

What about perseverance? There must be some, because in the Northeast, where the cold is so severe that even ghosts can freeze their teeth, it's not something that just anyone can endure.

What about cunning? That should exist, and roughness is just a local characteristic. There are wolves in the Northeast, but there are also foxes.

So don't say that Northeastern people are not afraid of death. If you say Northeastern people are not afraid of death, why would Shang Zhen and Wang Laomao sometimes prefer to avoid battle orders instead of fighting positional warfare?

It's just as the saying goes, "A real man should do something and not do something." Since the anti-Japanese warriors embarked on the anti-Japanese battlefield, there will always be times when they will see red with the Japanese aggressors' bayonets.

Of course, the bayonet seeing red is a noble calligraphy written into official history, but for Mr. Wang and others, it is the spirit of a bachelor.

The term "bachelor" does not mean that a man has reached old age and has no women, but it is a metaphor. Only when a man is single and has no wife and children to worry about, then he dares to take action regardless of life and death.

It is similar to the mentality of a gambler. If I win the bet, I will escape and be promoted to an official position and make a fortune. If I lose the bet, I will be ruined and I will accept my fate!

But now Mr. Wang and the others are facing a situation where they have lost their bet.

They hid in that dilapidated house for three days and three nights. Taierzhuang was a small place, and it was already occupied by the Japanese army.

The reason why the Japanese army did not check the house where they were hiding was really just because the house was really going to collapse.

So Wang Laomao and the others were surrounded by Japanese troops.

Although they also set up observation posts on all sides during the day, no matter who was serving as an observation post, they would be exposing their eyes, or even digging a hole in the wall as an observation hole. The Japanese army discovered it.

At night, it was dark again, but they could still hear the sounds of Japanese military activities around them. They just listened to where fighting was taking place in Taierzhuang to infer where Shang Zhen might be.

It's just that they listened for thirteen times, but they didn't hear any gunfire or movement. It seemed to be caused by Shang Zhen, such as the "pop-pop-pop" sound of the box cannon firing. So what were they going out to do? If the Japanese army discovers it, the gain outweighs the loss!

Their original plan this time was to throw the captured grenades at the Japanese army, severely harm the Japanese army, and then escape by virtue of being close to the collapsed city wall.

No matter how good they are, they are just thoughts. To use the words of later generations, "the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny." They don't know where the Japanese army's ammunition depot is. The battle started like this, but they were used by the Japanese army. The heavy machine gun blocked the way, so what should we do?

"Look for cover!" Qiu Bo shouted.

Now it is no longer a question of whether they can bomb the Japanese ammunition depot, but a question of how they can escape.

So, where can they find cover? The road was on their left, and there was an open space if they ran there. They would be sieved by the heavy firepower of the Japanese army in a matter of minutes.

Therefore, they could only use the cover of the broken wall and ruins to run to the right.

At this time, the gunfire from the Japanese army on the other side of the broken wall, that is, the side close to the city wall, became chaotic, and the bullets hit the broken wall without exception.

This is all understandable. Who told them to throw the grenades so accurately before? The other side of the broken wall was blown up into a white light. How huge the momentum was just now, how ferocious the firepower concentrated by the Japanese army this time!

The broken wall had been blown into several pieces by early artillery fire. After Wang Laomao and the others ran through the two breaks, they saw that there were also houses that had been blown down inside the breaks. However, the upper half of some walls were missing, and the lower half were missing. The whole part is like the stubble left by the harvested crops.

"Hurry in!" Qian Chuan'er shouted.

"Why go in? It's a place of death!" Bai Zhan shouted.

"We may be able to kill a few Japanese soldiers if we hold on, but if we rush out now, we are seeking death!" Qian Chuan'er obviously had his own opinion.

Everyone thought about it, right? Qian Chuan'er was right!

The flares were still shining brightly on their heads. If they rushed out now, it would be like running naked on the beach. As long as the Japanese troops from all directions surrounded them, they would be living targets of the Japanese troops in the light.

Therefore, instead of breaking out, it would be better to hide in the ruins and fight the Japanese soldiers. At least the ruins can be used as bunkers for them.

"Qian Chuan'er is right! Let's all go in! Count as many Japanese as you can kill!" Mr. Wang ordered loudly.

The situation is compelling. You can't just do whatever you want on the battlefield. After weighing the pros and cons, entering the ruins is the only choice they can make.

Wang Laomao and the others took advantage of the cover of the ruins to sneak into it.

At this time, they heard a "boom". They looked back at the broken wall where they had just taken cover. There was a section that could not withstand the close range firepower of the Japanese heavy machine gun fire. The lower end of the wall was damaged and could no longer bear the load. , the wall suddenly fell down!

"It's over, this time we are all overturned!" Bai Zhan lamented, but at the same time he was secretly cursing Shang Zhen in his heart, where did this bastard go? This time he tricked everyone to death!

But this can only be what he is thinking, and of course he will not say it out loud.

"There are Japs on all sides!" Gu Man said at this time.

"What's the use of talking about anything else? Fighting with the little devil. I still have a little girl, so I'll die if I fight the Japanese!" Mr. Wang suddenly shouted loudly.

He yelled like this, but his heart was really bleeding. He felt sorry for his little bitch and the child in her belly. He didn't know whether the child was a girl or a nanny!

Everyone was ready to fight, but the Japanese flare in the sky had fallen very low.

But what's the use? This is the rear of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang. Before this flare falls, the next one will be raised. How can the Japanese army let them escape in the dark?

But just as the illumination was getting lower and lower, they, the soldiers, vaguely heard what seemed to be an explosion amidst the chaotic gunfire of the Japanese army.

Naturally, they ignored the explosion because the Japanese gunfire was too noisy.

But then the flare above their heads burned out and fell, and the surroundings became dark again. Only the tracer bullets fired by the Japanese light machine guns to indicate the target were so conspicuous in the night.

None of Mr. Wang and the others knew why the Japanese flares were not fired again, but they knew that the darkness at this time was their only chance to retreat.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Wang shouted in a low voice: "Quickly retreat to the original place!"
