The War of Resistance

"Tell us people in the house to rest quickly, but weapons must be prepared, maybe there will be a battle soon."

When Shang Zhen said these words to his messenger Cao Delong, it was the morning of the third day after their guard company returned to Gaocheng, and they were standing at the gate of Gaocheng. Also with Shang Zhen are Qian Chuan'er, Li Qingfeng, Guo Baoyou, and Shen Mugen.

It's just that they were not wearing military uniforms at this time, but were wearing tattered civilian clothes. Guo Baoyou was carrying a dirt basket as if it was serious.

The earth basket is filled with wheat, and you can see the red wheat grains with stars.

"Sir, please don't go out of the city. We won't recognize you on the top of the city when you leave the city." At this time, an officer of the Northeast Army who was guarding the city reminded Shang Zhen.

"You are also the company commander, and I am also the company commander. No matter what my name is, sir, you are busy with your business. Now is not the time to be polite." Shang Zhen said to the officer.

Although Shang Zhen said this politely, he obviously had no intention of continuing the conversation with the officer, so the officer shut up at the right time.

At this time, someone ran over from the city and reported to Shang Zhen: "Report to the company commander, I asked them, they really saw a large group of people outside the city. But this guy is afraid that there are too many people together. He wanted to attract kiddies, so he ran back to the city first.

However, he was quite far away from the group of people at that time and did not see clearly. "

The person who reported to Shang Zhen was a young man named Shen Mugen. He had previously worked as a guide for Shang Zhen, but later he simply brought a few of his fellow villagers to join the guard company.

"Okay, let's do it according to our method. Everyone is too close." When Shang Zhen said this, he raised his head and glanced at the top of the city. At this time, the old man wearing the uniform of the Northeast Army was standing at the top of the city. Looking at him, the old man still had a telescope hanging around his neck.

The reason why Shang Zhen did this was to look for clues about the Japanese army.

After several days of fierce fighting, the 51st Army had to move its defense line back with thousands of people killed.

The Gaocheng currently guarded by the 337th Brigade is the last barrier in their defense line, and Guanshan is barely enough.

In fact, now the entire top management of the 51st Army knows that the front line of Baisha River can no longer be defended, but they are doing it despite knowing that it cannot be done.

I have to say that the entire Northeast is tragic.

This time the Japanese army launched an attack with Wuhan as its strategic target, and the Chinese army also mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Baisha River front line is not the main battlefield in this battle. It is more like the prelude to this battle or it can be called a peripheral battle.

If this were replaced by other armies, they would certainly be able to resist the Japanese attack, but when there were certain casualties, they would have to withdraw.

But the Northeast Army will not.

Is this because the Northeastern Army has suffered too much humiliation, and they don't know that the tasks given to them are dirty, dangerous, and difficult, and that the entire 51st Army has become cannon fodder?

Of course they understand!

However, they have been wandering and fighting in a land that is not their hometown in the Northeast for a long time, and they have been stigmatized for not resisting on September 18th. If they do not try their best to fight the Japanese, they will not be able to overcome the hurdle in their hearts.

Then fight the Japanese. Of course you will die if you fight, but you will have peace of mind before you die!

Now that Shang Zhen and the others have returned to the main force, it is impossible for them to follow their own temper.

All the outer positions have been taken by the Japanese army, and now they can only defend Gaocheng. Although the guard company may not fight to the death with the Japanese army, the mission of annihilating the Japanese army assigned to them by brigade commander Liu Chengyi is still valid.

There is no way to go outside, so Shang Zhen should think of a way in Gaocheng. He hopes that the Japanese army disguised as ordinary people will participate in the siege.

So the few soldiers Shang Zhen brought out today were also very particular.

Qian Chuan'er and Qingfeng Li are both relatively small and pretend to be ordinary people. If Japanese troops really sneak into the city, they may not notice them.

From the outside, Guo Baoyou looks like an honest and honest farmer. As long as he hides his gun and hugs his shoulders with a pinched neck, he will look like a common man.

Otherwise, Bai Zhan is not that big. Why didn't Shang Zhen take Bai Zhan with him?

That's because, regardless of whether he is a second-rate man from the countryside or a sly thief, Bai Zhan has a non-farmer temperament. At least Shang Zhen won't take him with him this time.

As for Chen Mu, he was originally a local. He had not been in the army for a long time, but he still didn't have the military temperament in him, so it was perfect to pretend to be a commoner with Shang Zhen and the others.

Of course, it would be better if the ordinary people who want to pretend to be like Wang Lao Mao can bring out Wang Lao Mao. After all, Wang Lao Mao is almost fifty years old. As long as he dresses up a little, he will be a squeamish rural man. Little old man.

But Shang Zhen thought about it and decided to forget it. He couldn't see that Mr. Wang missed his little wife.

As the war progressed, although new people continued to join, there were fewer and fewer old people. For example, Gu Man died again this time. Of course, Shang Zhen did not want anything unexpected to happen to his old Uncle Wang.

As the sun rose, the big man on top of the city began to make gestures, indicating that people outside the city had appeared.

Gaocheng is already the last important point on the east bank of the Baisha River. The Japanese army is pressing in from east to west. So the people hiding in the mountains will naturally run to Gaocheng if they are not willing to be slaughtered.

As a defender, the 337th Brigade cannot not let in the common people. As a result, there may be Japanese scouts in disguise among the common people, and this is also the meaning of Shang Zhen and the others staying here.

But even if there are Japanese soldiers who are really disguised as Chinese people, will they be so easy to recognize? What's more, who can guarantee that there are no traitors among the waiters used by the Japanese army?

But Shang Zhen didn't care. He simply went to the top of the city and looked outside with Big Laoban at an inconspicuous place on the top of the city. The few remaining soldiers who were dressed as ordinary people were in the corner at the city gate. Squatting down, he looked at the people entering the city.

Qian Chuan'er and the others were not afraid that the common people would think there was anything unusual about them, just because the first thing the common people saw when they came in was the Northeastern officers with guns and ammunition.

This is common sense, and the common people also know that the battle to defend Gao City is not far away. Whoever comes in will not look at the soldiers with guns, but how can they pay attention to the common people squatting under the wall?

Moreover, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were not idle either. When they saw suspicious people waiting, they stepped forward to investigate, although nothing unusual was found.

What is a suspicious person? Shang Zhen had also talked with the company commander who had just expressed his goodwill to him.

The company commander was also a thoughtful person, but he used the elimination method!

He doesn't check the age, not the older ones, not the younger ones, not the women, and not the ones whose height is over 1.7 meters.

As for the truth behind this, anyone with a brain will understand the truth as long as they think about it for a moment.

In this way, he has fewer objects to monitor.

After watching the city for a while, Shang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw how responsible the company commander was.

Originally, he planned to see if he could catch a Japanese scout who sneaked into the city, but the company commander's brain was so good that he would be scared if he were a Japanese soldier disguised as a commoner. Dare you come in?

This is no wonder that company commander, his duty is to defend the territory, and his duty is to catch traitors. This is a contradiction!

Shang Zhen looked towards the distance leading to the city gate again, and there were already more and more people. Needless to say, this was the Japanese army preparing for a large-scale attack.

This situation reminded Shang Zhen of what his veterans had told him about in the old forests of the Northeast.

When you are in the old forests of the Northeast and see wild boars running in groups, there are probably big tigers behind them.

And now the people who are going to the city are animals that are scared to run in front of them. As for who is the tiger, how can I say it?

Will that group of little devils disguised as common people come? If so, what will they do? Shang Zhen thought for a while but came up with another idea.

It seems that he figured it out a little too late, Shang Zhen thought to himself, but then he rejected his judgment that it was a little late. It doesn't matter if it's too late, he won't know until he tries.

So, he shouted again: "Cao Delong, come here and pass my order back."

"Yes!" Cao Delong, who had gone back to convey the order earlier, came over and listened carefully to Shang Zhen's instructions.
