The War of Resistance

The sound of artillery finally stopped, but then the sound of "holes and holes" of heavy machine gun fire began.

A few minutes later, the sound of heavy machine gunfire stopped, and the sound of light machine gun rifle shooting began again.

Further back, the sound of shooting also weakened, but correspondingly, it was the explosion of grenades that became closer and closer.

At this moment, the expressions of the members of the guard company who were still in Gao City, especially the veterans, changed, although they said nothing.

The recruits holding newly issued guns in their hands were also listening attentively, and the sound of the explosion still made them somewhat uneasy.

Everyone could guess that the Japanese invaded the city.

"We've been given guns, let's go too." At this time, a recruit in his forties said.

Yes, this man is in his forties, but he is a new soldier.

The reason why he wanted to join the army was because during the previous pursuit by the Japanese army, his wife and two sons were killed by the Japanese army.

As a man who was desperate for life, and after being encouraged by veterans like Shang Zhen, he simply picked up a gun, but he was the oldest among these new soldiers.

"Shut your mouth, there is always a chance to die." A veteran scolded the new recruits when they heard what they were doing.

It was Ma Erhuzi who spoke, even though Ma Erhuzi was many years younger than him.

But this is like joining a master's sect. No matter how young you are, the one who joins the sect first is still a senior brother, and no matter how old you are, the one who joins the sect later is also a junior brother.

Everyone's eyes turned to their leader Shang Zhen again.

Old people like these who followed Shang Zhen always followed Shang Zhen's orders.

Shang Zhen asked them to go up now, so they went up. Shang Zhen asked them to retreat now. They were not surprised.

It doesn't matter what they think.

Because this is the army, and because their leader Shang Zhen always has further ideas than they do.

Amidst the sound of the explosion that was getting closer and closer, Shang Zhen suddenly said, "If that doesn't work, we have to move back."

So they all retreated along the street to the west.

While Shang Zhen's guard company was retreating, some soldiers went east with loaded ammunition. You knew without asking that they were going to reinforce Captain Fu's company.

When the soldiers looked at Shang Zhen and the others, their expressions were a little surprised, even a little disdainful.

But Shang Zhen ignored this.

It was not their mission to defend the city. The reason why their guard company did not withdraw from Gao City was because he was still thinking about the Japanese plainclothes team.

This time they had only killed dozens of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. He knew that there must still be Japanese plainclothes troops. He would not engage in positional warfare with the Japanese army. It was his mission to be able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese plainclothes troops again.

"Just withdraw. Do you think the kid will use plainclothes as a vanguard?" When they stopped in a dilapidated courtyard again, Wang Laomao and Shang Zhen suggested.

"I just don't give up." Shang Zhen answered after a moment of silence.

Upon hearing what Shang Zhen said, Mr. Wang rarely challenged Shang Zhen. Instead, he said: "You are the company commander, you have the final say!"

As the company commander and deputy company commander were talking, the veterans naturally did not participate. However, Chen Hanwen whispered: "How many people do you think are left in Captain Fu's company now?"

No one came to answer Chen Hanwen's question. Who knows how many people are left as deputy company commander?

There is no difference in sound between the explosion of a grenade and the explosion of a grenade. Who knows whether Captain Fu and others blew up the Japanese troops who invaded the city, or whether they were bombed by the Japanese troops, or both.

Shang Zhenzhen and the others waited at the same spot for more than an hour. At this time, the explosions in front of them had gradually become weaker. I guess the Northeast Army must have suffered a lot of casualties.

Of course, Captain Fu and the others were only guarding one direction, and the Japanese and Northeastern troops were also fighting bloody battles in other directions. .

At this time, Shang Zhen also began to hesitate. Should he take the people out, or should he wait a little longer? But just as he was thinking carefully, Qian Chuan'er suddenly reminded him: "Company Commander, the wind direction has changed."

Hearing what Qian Chuan'er said, Shang Zhen just noticed it, didn't he? The direction of the wind changed, and it was blowing from the east to the west.

So does it still need to be said what the sentence Qian Chuaner reminded me means? Will the Japanese army use poison gas again?

Under the gaze of all the soldiers, Shang Zhen finally asked: "Who are those three gas masks? Bai Zhan and I, Qingfeng Li, stayed, and the rest of the people evacuated the city."

Since Shang Zhen issued a new order, the veterans naturally had nothing to say, and some began to send gas masks forward, but the new recruits were a little surprised.

The army they joined, which was said to be some kind of guard company, seems to be different from the army they heard about. Normally speaking, shouldn't the officers be at the front and the soldiers behind?

"Do you want to wear kid clothes?" Wang Lao Mao asked with concern.

Shang Zhen waved his hand to indicate that he was not wearing it.

He didn’t want to be a death squad, so why did he wear Japanese military clothes?

The Japanese army's gas mask is of course effective in protecting against viruses, but the problem is that the mask is fully closed when buckled on the face.

Everyone can figure this out. The Japanese poisonous gas specifically irritates the eyes, nose, and mouth. It is so-called pervasive.

So if they wanted to avoid being exposed to poison gas, when the Japanese army made gas masks, they naturally designed the gas masks to surround a person's face.

Otherwise, if even a trace of poisonous gas penetrates into the nostrils, that person will suffer a serious crime.

Because of this, Shang Zhen had another layer of consideration. If he encountered Japanese soldiers wearing gas masks, and if they got out of the poisonous gas, would his own people regard the three of them as Japanese devils, or as themselves? people?

Shang Zhen and the other three began to put on gas masks, while Wang Lao Mao and the rest of the group retreated.

And just when Mr. Wang and the others had retreated far away, and Shang Zhen and the others were putting on their gas masks, suddenly they heard the sound of artillery, and then a cannonball landed at the location where they had previously stayed.

Unfortunately, Shang Zhen and the others were really hit. When the shell exploded, white smoke billowed out of the entire area. The Japanese army actually used poison gas.

In the endless poisonous gas, Shang Zhen made a gesture and led Qingfeng Li and Bai Zhan forward instead of retreating, and actually walked forward.

They only walked a few courtyards ahead, and were surprised to find that the Japanese army only hit them with poison gas, and the front was clear.

To say it was clear was only compared to the white smoke here, but the explosions there were coming one after another, and the blue sky was filled with smoke.

The Japanese offensive suddenly intensified.

The method of poison gas used by the Japanese army this time was actually different from before!

At this time, Shang Zhen thought of the word "partition"!

This battle is not just about Captain Fu and his people, there are other front-line troops fighting in the front, and there are naturally second-line troops in the back.

However, the Japanese army used this method of sudden poison gas bombs to cut off the second-line troops from the first-line troops, or force the second-line troops to retreat.

And front-line troops like Captain Fu and the Japanese army are already in a stalemate.

The Japanese army was naturally unwilling to use poison gas to injure its own people, but the Chinese army's second-line troops had been forced away by the poison gas, but they were no longer able to provide reinforcements to the front-line troops.

So, if the enemy is strong and we are weak, one can imagine the fate that awaits Captain Fu and others.

But this is just like Shang Zhen gave Captain Fu the idea, they did have one more chance to fight the Japanese army.
