The War of Resistance

"Where do these bandits hide all those good things?" A soldier from the Eighth Route Military Region team muttered, with an anxious look on his face.

It was already dusk, and the people from the Eighth Route Military Region team searched for most of the afternoon on the mountain, but they could not find the place where the bandits hid their things.

Everyone can guess that Wujiapo, as the bandit's lair, will definitely have a lot of supplies hidden there.

Now they have found the food, but there are no guns, ammunition and gold and silver treasures in the ocean. The people in the district team are very unwilling to do so.

"If you can't find it, just look for it slowly. If it doesn't work, we'll stay here and look for it!" Another soldier from the district team said.

"You still want to stay? Pull it down! We can stay and look for these things. That's what our captain and the commercial commander discussed."

"If Commander Shang really wants to leave, let him leave. Let's stay and look for him," said his companion.

"You can't say that. The ability to capture Wujiapo is all due to Commander Shang. Our captain always has to listen to others' opinions." The first soldier said.

"I don't agree with your opinion. If it were all the fault of Commander Shang, if he had survived in the first place, we would still be so passive. We would have found the good stuff of the bandits long ago." His companion retorted again.

"What are you talking about? What you said is not kind!" The first soldier was unhappy.

Although they were from the Eighth Route Army and Shang Zhen was an outsider, Shang Zhen wiped out the bandits without causing any casualties. They could only accept Shang Zhen's favor for this matter and should not blame Shang Zhen.

His companion was criticized and knew that what he said was wrong, but before he could speak, there was a cough behind him.

The two of them quickly turned around and saw their captain and Shang Zhen and Wang Chuan behind them.

The soldier who said the wrong thing blushed.

Shang Zhen pretended not to listen and continued to walk forward, while their captain glared at the soldier fiercely.

At this time, Wang Chuan changed the subject and asked Shang Zhen: "Why did Battalion Commander Shang rush to leave just now? This Chen Sanchan is a bandit. All his people have been wiped out, even if there are only one or two Aren’t we still afraid of the fish that slipped through the net?”

The caravan shook his head and replied: "I just think the noise here is too loud, and I'm afraid something might happen."

"Keep your heart in your stomach and nothing unexpected will happen. The Japanese army has not yet established a stronghold nearby. It will take courage to let them work on the expedition." Wang Chuan said with a smile.

"Okay." Shang Zhen replied.

The top of the mountain has been searched by the district team, but the place where Chen San chopped the treasure and kept it for a long time is too secretive and has not been found yet.

Shang Zhen then suggested that he and his people would escort Xu Lang and Wang Chuan away.

However, his suggestion was unanimously opposed by Xu Lang and Wang Chuan.

Shang Zhen said that the reason for escorting them out was of course that it was not safe here, but in fact he also had selfish motives, that is, he felt that he was inciting the bandits to fight among themselves, which was too destructive.

He didn't want to stay here, but he couldn't say it.

"I heard that Battalion Commander Shang is very good at fighting Japanese Japs, and he also fought guerrilla warfare vigorously. I just have time to ask you for advice." Wang Chuan continued Shang Zhen's words.

"Compared with you, an old Red Army soldier, how can I say that I am good at fighting guerrilla warfare?" Shang Zhen said with a smile.

"Then let's not ask for advice, let's communicate with each other!" Wang Chuan smiled.

Shang Zhen also laughed, even though he knew about the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare, they really couldn't learn from it.

Although his battalion pays more attention to discipline and does not harm the people, its status in the eyes of the people is definitely not as good as that of the Eighth Route Army.

But since Wang Chuan said so, there is no big problem at present, so let’s just spend the night in Wujiapo.

Shang Zhen thought again.

Now it seems that the foundation of the 51st Army in Shandong is not stable, and it is not that big of a deal for me and President Leng Xiaozhi to separate. I can just talk to Wang Chuan here, but if it doesn't work, I really have to join the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why Shang Zhen personally escorted Xu Lang and Wang Chuan back to the Eighth Route Army was because of this hidden intention.

He really wanted to meet the leading cadres of the Eighth Route Army. Of course, he couldn't meet the high-ranking ones, but he always wanted to meet someone whose words had weight to decide the future of his battalion.

Based on Wang Chuan's suggestion, Shang Zhen went out for a walk on the top of the mountain to see if he could find the place where Chen San chopped the treasure.

As for Xu Lang, he was not with them, because Xu Lang also wanted to get those things from Chen San. If he could find them, he thought this could be considered his achievement!

Shang Zhen also heard from the people in the district team that after searching for half an afternoon, he still couldn't find anything. He didn't think he would be able to find it, so he walked with Wang Chuan and the captain of the district team while walking on the top of the mountain. Talking.

Shang Zhen didn't know where the bandits were hiding their things, but this time he saw the fortifications and traps arranged by Chen Sancai on the top of the mountain.

There were just other traps. What impressed Shang Zhen most was that Chen Sanqian actually made a ditch near the exit of the mountain in the south.

It was a natural ravine, always six meters deep and about six meters wide, with sharp stones arranged underneath.

Who would have thought that the possibility of this ditch was very small, but Chen Sancai laid two long wooden boards on it.

When people want to leave, they naturally spread the wooden planks, and when they don't want to leave, they take them out.

It's common to have a moat and a deep ditch around the garrison, but who would have thought that there would be a deep ditch on the top of the mountain!

After Shang Zhen climbed onto the wooden planks, he stepped on them deliberately. The planks were very thick, and it was unknown where Chen Sankan found the wood.

These two wooden planks can be regarded as a bridge. It's no problem for people to walk on them, but if you want to drive a carriage over, you really need a good driver!

Shang Zhen and his friends walked over the wooden planks while talking, and they arrived at the exit to the south down the mountain.

Shang Zhen climbed up from behind with Da Laoben yesterday, and he really didn't observe the situation in the south carefully.

The slope is indeed very gentle, so that the carriage can catch up.

And just over a mile away from the foot of the mountain, there is a small village, and at this time, some families in the village are emitting curling smoke.

Of course, if the length of Wujiapo Hill is taken into account, the village is about one kilometer away from the top of the mountain.

Staring at the village, Shang Zhen's heart suddenly moved.

It is said that rabbits do not eat grass near their nests. This village is really close to Chen Sankan's nest. There is no doubt that there must be Chen Sankan's informant in that village.

If that is the case, after finding Chen Sankan's informant in that village, will he know where Chen Sankan hid his things?

Shang Zhen was thinking about it, but he suddenly turned around and looked north. Nothing happened, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

"What happened?" Wang Chuan asked.

"Did you hear the gunshot?" Shang Zhen said

"Gunshot?" Wang Chuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head, and the captain of the district team also shook his head.

Before Shang Zhen said this, Wang Chuan was talking to the captain of the district team, and he did not notice the gunshot.

But Shang Zhen still felt something was wrong, so he said, "Let's go over and take a look, and listen more."

After saying that, Shang Zhen turned around and walked north, listening carefully as he walked.

Wang Chuan and the captain of the district team naturally had to follow, but the three of them walked all the way to the northernmost part, but they didn't hear any gunshots.

Shang Zhen stood on the north side of the mountain top and listened for a while, but didn't hear any gunshots.

Thinking that if there were really gunshots, they must be far away from here, and he was afraid that he really heard it wrong, Shang Zhen shook his head, and then yawned, and he was really sleepy after not sleeping last night.

"I was just busy talking, and look at our hero who is sleepy. Captain Shang, you go to rest quickly, and leave the rest to us." Wang Chuan said with a smile.

What Shang Zhen didn't know was that when he suspected that he heard gunshots, Da Laoben, who was sleeping in the room, turned over and sat up.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Bian Xiaolong, who was sitting next to Da Laoben and cleaning his gun, asked.

"I think I heard gunshots just now." Da Laoben said naively.

"You were confused because you were asleep, right? I didn't hear anything when I was awake, but you heard it when you were asleep?" Bian Xiaolong said disapprovingly.

Da Laoben said "Oh" and went back to sleep.

Shang Zhen and Da Laoben didn't know that a Northeast Army soldier had fallen in a pool of blood about three miles away from Wujiapo. At this time, several Japanese soldiers holding Type 38 rifles stood beside him.

The Northeast Army soldier was sent by Chu Tian to deliver a letter to Shang Zhen.

Chu Tian led his company to help Wujiapo, but was blocked by the Japanese army.

Chu Tian thought of a trick. He sent someone to pass through the mountains and directly report to Shang Zhen.

But who would have thought that when the soldier approached Wujiapo, he was recognized by the Japanese army because he was carrying a rifle and was shot!

For various reasons, Shang Zhen missed the opportunity to withdraw from Wujiapo overnight.
