The War of Resistance

"It's already this time, why don't the little devils attack?" It's already daylight? Xu Lang asked.

But no one answered his question.

And this was Xu Lang's second question, and no one answered him for the first question.

His first question was, why did the little devil come here to attack Wujiapo?

The people around him included Shang Zhen, Wang Chuan, Qian Chuan'er, Captain Zhang of the district team, and Shang Zhen's messenger Shen Mugen.

When a person doesn't understand something, or thinks he understands something, he will always say something that everyone knows to prove that he is an expert.

But Xu Lang did the opposite this time.

The two questions he asked were really tricky, and the people next to him didn't mind answering them, but they couldn't, because what Xu Lang asked was beyond the knowledge of these people around him, and naturally there was no answer.

Xu Lang has the highest rank in the Eighth Route Army, so Wang Chuan and Captain Zhang will naturally not stand up to him.

Shang Zhen had a stable temperament and didn't bother to say anything to him. Qian Chuan'er wasn't a rude person either!

If a veteran like Mr. Wang or Qin Chuan were at the scene at this time, they would probably yell at him, "Who are you asking?" You ask me? I still want to ask you!

Seeing that no one answered his question, Xu Lang felt a little embarrassed, so he continued: "Do you think the little devil also fell in love with what Chen San chopped?"

This is the third question again. If his previous two questions are too profound, then this third question is too naive.

Qian Chuan'er glanced at Xu Lang with a smile, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The little devil launched a night sneak attack just for the bandits' little gold, silver, treasure, guns and ammunition? You can really put money on the bandits' faces!

It is possible that the little devil came to our battalion commander. After all, our battalion commander was offered a reward by the Japanese devils.

But when we came to Wujiapo, who released Xin'er?

Of course Qian Chuan'er did his own thinking. Although he also thought that Zhao Tieying might have done it, he always felt that Zhao Tieying should not be able to do such a despicable thing.

"Chen Mugen, rifle!" At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly put down the telescope in his hand and shouted.

Shen Mugen quickly handed over the rifle. Without saying a word, Shang Zhen pulled the bolt and rushed forward to take aim.

No one else had a telescope in their hands, and they didn't know what Shang Zhen had discovered.

Logically speaking, Shang Zhen must be fighting the Japanese army.

But the problem is that they are still about 200 meters away from the deep ditch in front of them, and even if the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain are hiding on the hillside, they are still four to five hundred meters away from them. What exactly did Shang Zhen find? Woolen cloth?

To say that this Wujia Slope is a natural terrain that is conducive to defense.

There are steep slopes on three sides and a gentle slope on one side. There are large and small stones on the gentle slope. Only the road in the middle is passable.

The deep ravine runs across the line from the hillside to the top of the mountain. If people come down from the mountain and don't go to the top of the mountain, they won't be able to see the deep ravine at all.

It was precisely for this reason that the Japanese troops who came for a sneak attack last night fell directly into the deep ditch, and were shot back with box cannons by Shang Zhen and other veterans who responded quickly.

There are still more than 20 Japanese corpses on the other side of the ditch. The Japanese didn't come to drag the corpses last night, so it's even more impossible now that it's dawn.

People coming down from the mountain cannot reach the edge of the top of the mountain and cannot see the terrain of the top of the mountain. If the top of the mountain is a platform and there is no commanding height, then people on the mountain who want to see the situation below will inevitably end up at the edge of the top of the mountain.

But there is such a commanding height on the top of Wujiapo Mountain that can be used as a lookout, which is where Shang Zhen and the others are now.

The terrain here is much higher than the surrounding area. Chen Sanqian also built a small observation tower on the top. Shang Zhen and the others are now hiding behind the stone wall outside the observation tower.

Now two meters behind Shang Zhen and the others is the wooden platform.

But not only did Shang Zhen not go up by himself, he also didn't let others go up.

The reason here is of course because the Japanese army's marksmanship is very accurate.

Shang Zhen felt that the Japanese army could not kill a target of about 500 to 600 meters with one shot, but they could always hit it with a few more shots.

Since the hillside below could barely be seen from the stone wall below, there was no need for them to take the risk.

Regarding Xu Lang's first two questions, why the Japanese army came to attack Wujiapo and why the Japanese army has not attacked yet, Shang Zhen did not speculate.

He didn't have any evidence in his hands, and even if he had thoughts in his mind, he wouldn't say anything.

He has been observing the foot of the mountain with a telescope, but until now he has no idea how many Japanese troops have come.

And just now, he only found a Japanese soldier hiding behind a rock more than 400 meters away through the telescope.

Now that you see it, shoot if you can.

He wanted to see if there would be any changes in the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain after the gunfire, so that he could get some clues.

Without the telescope, just relying on the naked eye, the Japanese soldier naturally became very small now.

If he hadn't observed carefully just now, he really wouldn't have been able to spot this Japanese soldier.

Shang Zhen felt that the Japanese soldier should be an officer, because he saw in the telescope that the Japanese soldier was also looking up the mountain with a telescope.

A moment later, the muzzle of Dang's gun successfully locked onto the Japanese soldier.

For Shang Zhen now, the whole set of actions of shooting is almost instinctive, just like the meter one, two, three, four.

Aim, steady, and then pull the trigger.

The sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of the mountains and the mountains, but for most people on both sides, no one knew what happened in this shot.

Neither of the two parties knew, because the Japanese soldier shot by Shang Zhen was shot in the head, and Shang Zhen put down his rifle and needed to use his telescope to confirm the results.

When Shang Zhen found the Japanese soldier again with a telescope, he saw that he was lying on the stone where he was hiding, and the telescope that was originally hung around his neck was also hanging on the stone.

It seems that he was killed by himself, Shang Zhen was sure.

However, just when he wanted to search for the next target, he suddenly heard a whistling sound from far to near in the sky.

That was-Shang Zhen hesitated for a moment, but then he shouted: "It's a cannon!"

As soon as Zhang Zhen finished speaking, the Japanese artillery shell exploded.

The office was just over 40 meters in front of them, where there happened to be a shed built by the bandits. So, in the explosion, the shed broke into pieces and flew into the sky.

"Yes, it's a cannon, it's the Japanese infantry cannon!" Qian Chuan also shouted, his voice full of shock.

Earlier, Xu Lao said that the Japanese army came to attack the bandits' nest and rob the bandits' things. Those were anti-aircraft cannons, which were overkill, but now they have brought all the infantry cannons. This is really a big scene! Could it be that Chen San cut and hid a mountain of gold and silver?

"Let's retreat quickly. This is a test firing by the Japanese. The next one should be here!" Shang Zhen shouted again.

At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly realized that the Japanese soldier you just killed with a rifle was not an officer? It was clearly a Japanese artillery observation post!

No wonder the Japanese army has not attacked all the time. It turns out that they are waiting for their big killer!
