The War of Resistance

A Japanese officer pointed his command knife at the hill in front, so the Japanese troops who were running wildly slowed down, and some even lay down and pointed their machine guns at the top of the hill.

As for the other Japanese troops, they spread out and hunched over, holding their guns and assuming an offensive posture towards the mountain.

It's no wonder that the Japanese army was cautious. It was really hard for them to be beaten by this scheming Northeastern army.

What if there is a group of Northeastern troops hiding on the mountain and they will use the Mauser short rifle to attack them like a storm?

It's just that if the Japanese commander knew that his command was wrong, he would definitely regret it to death!

Because at this moment, Shang Zhen, who was still on the top of the hill, had already locked a certain position in the bushes with his rifle.

The Japanese soldier was hiding very deep, with only a 38-type rifle exposed in the bushes. From the high point where Shang Zhen was, he could just see the rifle, and the bushes were crushed after the man got in. The part that seems vacant.

Almost at the same moment, gunfire rang out from both sides.

In the direction where the Japanese soldier's gun was pointing, a Northeastern Army soldier was shot and fell to the ground. Then the Japanese soldier's body trembled, and the rifle sticking out of the bushes fell to the ground.

Shang Zhen could only tell where the Japanese soldier was lying by the position of the rifle.

Seeing the rifle fall into the dust, Shang Zhen no longer hesitated to put away the gun and ran down the hill. At this time, the hilltop where he was was filled with the sound of bullets entering the ground, and two grenades even whizzed down on it. Two puffs of dust exploded.

Shang Zhen was undoubtedly lucky at this moment.

The Japanese commander's head and tail gave him a chance to escape.

What are the two ends of the head and the rat?

Originally, the Japanese commander asked the soldiers to charge with all their strength to chase down the Northeastern Army. However, when his team approached the hill, he asked the team to slow down because of worry!

But even if Shang Zhen could escape, there is no telling. After all, in order to kill the Japanese gunman, he was too close to the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him!

If the Japanese army occupied the hilltop, he would still become a living target for the Japanese army!

"No, the battalion commander didn't catch up!" At this time, Shen Mugen, who was running in front, was the first to realize that something was wrong.

Shen Mugen is the messenger, and of course he cares more about where his commander is than others.

"What?" Chu Tian was anxious at that time, but now they were still sixty or seventy meters away from the hills in front of them where they could hide.

Chu Tian hurriedly turned around and saw Shang Zhen running straight down the mountain. Moreover, he also saw that because he was running too fast, Shang Zhen even fell down on the hillside and plunged forward. !

A person runs down the hillside from the mountain. Even though the hillside is gentle and not very steep, as Shang Zhen runs faster and faster, the acceleration of gravity is not something that a good body can withstand. It will exceed the human body's endurance limit!

Fortunately, Shang Zhen was very skilled. The moment he felt his body was unbalanced, he quickly rolled his body into a ball.

So he stumbled a few times on the hillside. After standing up and running forward a few more steps, he finally reached the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.

Is it just that his existential crisis has been resolved?

There is no solution at all, and it can even be said that the moment of burning eyebrows is imminent!

What if the Japanese troops weren't chasing after them so closely? So how could Shang Zhen possibly run down the mountain?

Moreover, when Chu Tian saw Shang Zhen standing up and running, he didn't even pick up the Type 38 rifle that fell on the ground!

"Hurry up and take cover!" Chu Tian shouted.

Shang Zhen didn't have time to follow him, so it was obvious that the Japanese army was chasing after him in a hurry.

But now what's the use of Chutian and the others just going back? It's better to run to the low hill in front and provide Shang Zhen with fire cover.

Chu Tian is also a veteran, and he has been a veteran for almost ten years since September 18th.

As long as someone has a bright mind, unlike Hu Zhuzi, even if he learns a little thing in a year, he will become a veteran, not to mention Chu Tian is not stupid.

For veterans like Shang Zhen, reason is better than passion.

Because reason can allow them to survive and continue to fight the Japanese, but passion, forget it, they have lost many companions with passion.

Chu Tian and the others sprinted.

When they rushed to the low hill in front of them and turned around to look back, they were surprised to find that Shang Zhen did not follow them but ran diagonally!

Chu Tian and the others also ran all the way here. Let alone running a hundred meters, a person who ran forty or fifty meters would still be out of breath while sprinting with all his strength.

The people in both of their platoons were breathing heavily and could not speak. They looked at Shang Zhen in surprise, who was also running at a sprint speed of 100 meters. There were questions in his eyes, what is his battalion commander doing? Why didn't you just run away with your own people?

At this time, Chu Tian's eyes fell on a dirt bag just a few dozen steps away in front of Shang Zhen's running direction. The dirt bag was not that big, and there were these shrubs growing on it.

Chu Tian quickly glanced at the previous hill again. At this time, the Japanese gunfire had stopped. Chu Tian suddenly understood something, "Fire cover!" He shouted hoarsely.

As Chu Tian shouted, the soldiers all put their box cannons on their shoulders.

And the next moment, Shang Zhen, who had already arrived in front of the dirt bag, jumped over the dirt bag with a big stride, and then he sat down and leaned on it. Didn't he forget to shrink down? Neck cavity!

Almost at the same time, Japanese troops appeared on the top, middle and foot of the hill!

This time, there was no need for Chu Tian to give orders. With the combined strength of the two platoons, the box cannons in their hands started to click.

Although they were still panting as they ran wildly, and their marksmanship was not very accurate, they finally created the momentum of an elite division, and the Japanese soldiers all got down and set up their rifles.

"Run to the right quickly! Stretch the little devil away!" At this time, Chu Tian gave another strange order.

Some soldiers don't understand, but they have to carry out the orders even if they don't understand them.

They took advantage of the cover of the low hills and ran to the right. While they were running, the veterans headed by Chu Tian stretched their heads and shot in the direction of the Japanese army.

Only then did the soldier with a slow reaction figure out what was going on?

This was what Chu Tian said was the way to cover their battalion commander Shang Zhen.

When they ran from that hill, they naturally ran towards the nearest terrain that was conducive to hiding, which was this low hill.

But Shang Zhen was already slow when he came down from that mountain.

When the Japanese army reached the hill, Shang Zhen might have run to the hills.

If Shang Zhen follows them, then he will not be a target for the Japanese army, but will definitely be beaten into a "sieve" by the Japanese army's "thousands of arrows"!

Shang Zhen reacted quickly. As soon as he saw that he was too late, he did not follow him, but ran directly in another direction.

Because the hill is relatively low, but also because the mountain is low, the hillside is relatively long, which can block the sight of the Japanese troops behind.

Only when the Japanese troops ran to the hill and discovered the two platoons in front of them, they naturally shot at them, ignoring that there was actually a Chinese soldier hiding on the way to escape.

It cannot be said that Shang Zhen is safe now, but at least Shang Zhen avoided the fate of being shot to death by relying on his quick wit.

So now Chutian and the others are moving horizontally to distance themselves from Shang Zhen, so that the Japanese army's attention will be drawn to this end, thus creating an opportunity for Shang Zhen to escape.

And this is exactly what Chu Tian said "stretch the little devil away"!

To borrow a word from Buddhism that Da Laobeng said, it is "the presence of causes and conditions."

Shang Zhen has not been killed in battle yet, it is because of good luck.

Shang Zhen's own quality, the tacit understanding among the veterans, and the luck of having a little bumpkin to hide in are all indispensable! Isn’t this also the result of sufficient karma?
