The War of Resistance

The sound of gunfire echoed in the fields, and the sound of gunfire made the soldiers in a certain squad feel very anxious.

"Squad leader, are we really going?" A soldier stretched his head behind the bushes and looked at the other end of the road, asking his squad leader.

There was black smoke rising from the place where he was looking, and it was a wheat field that was burning.

But they could see the burning wheat field but they could not see the fighting situation between the enemy and us.

Their squad leader just said that the company commander and his men were in danger, so we had to go over and take a look.

And what this soldier said now was a response to their squad leader.

There are many things to learn in speaking Chinese.

He asked the squad leader, "Are we really going?" In fact, at least he was not very willing to go. If he really wanted to go, he would definitely not have this attitude.

"What do you think?" His squad leader, who had wrinkles on his face and always looked sleepy, asked back.

"I say, I say--" The soldier who asked the question paused, and finally did not say what he wanted to say. When the words came to his mouth, they turned into a sentence, "What I said doesn't count!" Then he added, "Alas, our terrain is wasted."

When the soldier mentioned the terrain, the other soldiers in their class also felt regretful.

The Japanese troops attacking Shuiquan Town came from west to east along the road.

According to Shang Zhen's order, they were lined up along the road in squads, and each squad was responsible for its own area.

This road is sandwiched between hills, and both sides of the road are wheat fields or wilderness where wheat ears have been cut. It is not the kind of terrain where one man can block the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. Therefore, the battalion commander Shang Zhen will divide their company and the other two platoons into small units to fight as squads.

But the problem is that the unit in front of their squad responsible for blocking is a squad led by the company commander Cheng Peng.

According to their squad's understanding, blocking the Japanese army is nothing more than firing one or two rounds of bullets, or at most three rounds, and then they can retreat.

But the problem is that since the gunfire from the area in front, that is, the squad led by Cheng Peng, has been intermittent.

Everyone is a veteran, and even the dumbest ones know that it must be the company commander Cheng Peng and his men who are entangled with the Japanese army, or entangled by the Japanese army, so should their adjacent squad rescue or not?

There is a reason to rescue, after all, the company commander is entangled by the Japanese army and may be in danger.

But if they don't rescue, it is also reasonable, because the order given by the battalion commander is to block the enemy on the spot, but it does not say to fight the devils after the reunion.

If they want to fight the devils after the reunion, why did Shang Zhen let their battalion split up into small pieces? Then just build a position and fight a positional war!

Of course, this statement is all on the table.

In fact, the main reason why the soldier hesitated whether to meet or rescue the company commander Cheng Peng and his men was that they discovered the beauty of the terrain where they were.

At that time, Shang Zhen brought the company commander Cheng Peng, three platoon leaders and squad leaders to "divide the area".

It was already dawn at that time, and the Japanese army might have set out for Shuiquan Town. Shang Zhen could not observe so carefully, that is, he could just point to Zhang San and your squad is here, Li Si and you are usually there.

At that time, the area divided by their squad was not ideal at all, because the top of the hill was 700 to 800 meters away from the road.

Anyone can figure out that with the current Chinese military's firearms, it is impossible to fire at the Japanese army at a distance of 700 to 800 meters.

No matter whether the veterans used Czech light machine guns or Type 38 rifles, they had to be about 300 meters away from the road to be sure of killing the enemy.

If they were far away, they could not hit the enemy at all. To put it bluntly, the Japanese were attacking Shuiquan Town, and you were shooting at the Japanese more than a mile away. Are you setting off firecrackers to welcome the Japanese?

So even though the height of that hill was the highest among the surrounding terrain, it was useless!

On the contrary, they were still shot by the Japanese when they retreated to the top of the hill after shooting at the Japanese at 300 or 400 meters.

Because there were no trees on the slope of the hill, only some weeds, and the terrain was no different from an open area. .

As for the Japanese shooting skills, they would be deceiving themselves if they didn't admit that they were accurate. Their shooting skills were indeed more accurate than theirs.

However, after their class was divided into this terrain, their squad leader Liu Dashan, the guy who always looked like he couldn't wake up, went into the hill to observe the terrain before the Japanese devils arrived, and then he was surprised to find that they still had a way to retreat.

The reason was that there was a scour ditch at the bottom of the hill and behind them, which was only a few dozen meters away!

The scour ditch was of course formed naturally.

That is, when it rains, water flows down from high places. The soil in some places is relatively soft, and as a result, a small ditch is washed out by the water. As time goes by, the ditch naturally becomes wider and deeper.

Although this ditch is only half a person deep now, it is like a natural traffic trench, and it is also tortuous.

So after they shot at the Japanese army at three or four hundred meters, they could completely escape to the scouring ditch behind them.

Liu Dashan observed the ditch. After entering the ditch, people could completely avoid the shooting of the Japanese army, and the bottom of the ditch was hard, which means that there was not much fine sand produced by the water, so they could run faster.

When Liu Dashan told the soldiers in his squad about his discovery, everyone was excited.

Who doesn't want to be alive? Moreover, the idea that Shang Zhen had instilled in them was that they had to fight the devils, but they couldn't get themselves involved!

But as the saying goes, plans can't change quickly, and they didn't expect that the gunfire from the company commander Cheng Peng had not stopped.

So do you think they should go to rescue or not?

"Da Da Da" "Da Da Da", another Japanese light machine gun sounded.

They were not close to Cheng Peng's area, and the veterans could still tell what kind of gun it was.

"The little devils even used the crooked handle." Squad leader Liu Dashan was surprised.

What does it mean that the Japanese used a light machine gun? It means that the Japanese have stopped. In other words, the Japanese have stopped. Didn't they surround the company commander?

Everyone can think that if the Japanese were chasing Cheng Peng and others, they would be the kind of people who ran and shot at the same time, and it would be impossible to shoot with a light machine gun!

At this moment, Liu Dashan felt that the "da da da" sound of the Japanese machine guns seemed to beat a drum in his heart. The drumbeat was so urgent that he stopped struggling and stood up and said loudly: "Don't waste time, Fang Xiaoyong, you stay here to take charge, and the others come with me to take a look!"
