The War of Resistance

Cheng Peng's second ambush really caught the Japanese army by surprise.

The Japanese army was already used to it. Chinese soldiers would fire a row of bullets from a distance, killing or injuring three or five of them, and then they would run away.

They had to send people to chase them desperately, of course, whether they could catch up was another matter.

But they never thought that the people they were chasing would be ambushed again.

Wheat fields are not like corn fields. Corn fields have to be ridged, and there are always furrows between two rows of corn.

If people crawl in the furrows, there will be fewer collisions with corn leaves, and it will be difficult for people outside to find them.

But planting wheat is like scattering sesame sprouts directly on the ground, which is all densely packed, and it is impossible for them to grow as tall as corn.

So when people move in the wheat field, they can be seen clearly from outside.

Cheng Peng and his box guns started to "bang bang bang".

The wheat stalks stopped moving when the bullets were everywhere, which meant that the Japanese soldiers hiding in the wheat stalks were hit.

However, the wheat stalks that were originally moving stopped moving, but more wheat stalks started moving, which meant that more Japanese soldiers rushed over.

And regardless of whether the Japanese soldiers could see Cheng Peng and his men outside the wheat field, they also started shooting outside.

At this time, the terrain was unfavorable to the Japanese army, but they had an advantage in manpower, and they always had to have a deterrent against the firepower outside.

So some Japanese soldiers shouted that the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the wheat field would not move, and on the contrary, the bullets fired from the wheat field became more and more dense.

For a while, the bullets flew everywhere, grass debris flew everywhere, and the wheat stalks were broken one after another, just like they were cut with a sickle.

This piece of land was good, the Chinese army took away the wheat ears on it, but the Japanese army now did not let go of the firewood below!

"Let's hold on for a while!" Cheng Peng shouted loudly after glancing at his left front.

With that glance, he happened to see the figures of the two soldiers he sent disappear in the wheat field on the left front.

"Brother San, let's fight too! I saw the Japanese devils!" At this time, the ammunition man sent by Cheng Peng, who was hiding on the other side of the wheat field, which was the downwind side of the wind, said to the machine gunner.

"Why are you in a hurry? The smoke hasn't risen yet. Are you still worried about not having anything to fight?" The machine gunner called San replied.

Not only the ammunition man saw it, but also the machine gunner saw it. The wheat was shaking. It was the Japanese army who wanted to rush out from the flank after seeing the stubborn resistance of the Northeast Army on the front.

But this was far from enough in the eyes of the machine gunner. Looking at the shaking of the wheat, how many Japanese soldiers appeared?

But it was not enough to just have a few Japanese soldiers. If the Japanese soldiers took advantage of Cheng Peng and his men's inattention and shot him a few more times, Cheng Peng and his men would definitely be in danger with the Japanese army's shooting skills.

The Japanese devils had to fight, but the life and death of the company commander had to be taken care of!

"Little Niuniu Dan'er, do you dare to take my box gun and run over there to shoot at the Japanese to lead them away?" the machine gunner asked the ammunition man.

The machine gunner has more experience than the ammunition man, the machine gunner is older than the ammunition man, the machine gunner is from the Northeast and the ammunition man is from Shandong.

"Little Niuniu Dan'er" is the nickname given to the ammunition man by the machine gunner.

The reason is that this ammunition man is not as tall and mighty as other Shandong people, but he is dark and thin.

In the Northeast, a young bull is called "Niu Zi" and a young cow is called "Yu (milk) cow"

"Brother, do you look down on me? My ancestors are from Liangshan Marsh!" Little Niuniu Dan'er was unhappy.

"Okay! Go over and attract the firepower of those Japanese, don't let them shoot at the company commander." The machine gunner ordered.

Little Yak Dan happily took the box gun from the machine gunner, and ran away with his rifle in his other hand.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself!" The machine gunner didn't forget to remind him.

"I know!" Little Yak Dan's voice floated back, and there was a kind of excitement in his voice to join the war.

The machine gunner was already a veteran in his thirties. He was a veteran. How could he not understand Little Yak Dan's feelings? Because he had gone through this himself.

But now it was time to face reality. The machine gunner put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, exhaled a breath of foul air in his chest, and began to aim the machine gun at the shaking wheat stalks.

His plan was that if Little Yak Dan didn't shoot in time, he would have to do it himself.

But to his delight, after a while, when he saw a Japanese soldier had drilled out of the wheat field and started to raise his gun in the direction of Cheng Peng and others, he finally heard the sound of Little Yak Dan's gun.

To his surprise, the shot was not from a box gun but a rifle.

And the shot of Xiao Niuniu Dan'er was very accurate. He clearly saw that the shot of Xiao Yak Niu directly hit the head of the Japanese soldier.

So the Japanese soldier who was squatting on the ground paused, then dropped his gun and knelt down. Then the guy's head hit the ground, and his butt was sticking out, as if he was repenting for his crime.

The fall of the first Japanese soldier immediately aroused the vigilance of the Japanese soldiers behind him. The machine gunner saw several rifles sticking out from the wheat stalks, and then the sound of the box gun rang "pa pa pa" and "pa pa pa".

At this time, the machine gunner who was called the third brother by Xiao Yak Niu Dan understood and couldn't help but secretly praised Xiao Niuniu Dan'er.

This kid had never used a box cannon, and of course it was not as accurate as a rifle, so he first killed a Japanese soldier with a rifle, then put down the rifle and used a box cannon.

The advantage of this is that it can ensure that an enemy is killed first, and you don't have to push or pull the gun bolt anymore, but you can pick up the box cannon and continue shooting!

Originally, when Xiao Niu Dan'er went out, he wanted to give him a few words, but he didn't have time.

Now looking at the cleverness of this little yak egg, he doesn't need any instructions.

It's great that this little bastard can kill a few Japanese devils, but he doesn't want to die as long as he can attract the firepower of the Japanese army.

At this moment, when the machine gunner looked into the wheat field again, he saw the floating black smoke.

Yes, the cornfield is on fire! The machine gunner was overjoyed.

"My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China, where there are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and plains." These are the words sung in the song.

But what the Northeast has is not just soybeans and sorghum, but there is also wheat.

Shandong has two crops of wheat, but Northeast China can also grow one season of wheat.

Machine gunners have seen the situation of wheat harvest and burning.

However, those are wheat stubbles that are only a few inches high after the wheat above has been harvested. Every year, people will directly set fire to the wheat stubble in order to continue planting for the next year. This kind of thing is called "burning wasteland" in the Northeast. .

To be honest, the fire burning the wasteland is not big. How big a fire can a few inches of wheat stubble set?

When the machine gunner was picking wheat ears when he was a child, he endured the smoke and sometimes walked over the flames as soon as he raised his legs.

But the battalion commander Shang Zhen suddenly had a whim this time. He only cut the wheat ears and left the wheat stalks, which is what the Northeast people call the wheat stalks. How could the fire be small once it burned?

Only then did he see black smoke rising from his side, and then he saw a fire igniting, and then the Japanese soldiers' screaming screams came from the wheat field.

This was just the beginning. Then the black smoke spread, and the fire started to appear. The wind was pushing, and I saw the black smoke rising into the sky, and the bottom was filled with the white light of the fire.

The machine gunner was overjoyed. He no longer cared about the intensity of the fire or how the little bulldog was fighting. He just put the butt of the light machine gun on his shoulder and observed the situation in the wheat field. What he was thinking in his heart was, but I hope more Japanese troops will be driven out by the fire!
