The War of Resistance

Shang Zhen returned to his sniper point, but the members of the District team did not retreat, but all advanced.

All of them arrived in front of the deep ditch, and the situation was like a battle of one's back to the water in ancient times.

Although the ditch was not wide enough, people could jump over it with just a lift of their legs, which made it particularly useless.

Why did they go to the front of the ditch?

That's because if they were ambushed behind the ditch and wanted to shoot at the Japanese and puppet troops rushing up, they had to stand up to see the other side.

And when they reached the south side of the ditch, they could hide behind the big stone ledge, so that they could see the Japanese and puppet troops attacking from below, and similarly, the enemies below could also see them.

At this point, all tricks no longer existed, and it became a positional battle of gongs and drums facing each other.

Qian Chuan'er had already told the members of the District team about the situation in front, and everyone's expressions became serious.

"We still have some experience in dealing with puppet troops." Captain Zhang said as he looked down.

"You say." Qian Chuan'er responded.

"To fight the puppet army, you have to fight and scare them at the same time!

If you need to kill them, you have to kill them. If you are ruthless enough, they will know fear.

But today's matter is not easy to handle. There are still Japanese devils supervising the battle behind us! It would be great if there was a light machine gun!" Captain Zhang said.

Qian Chuan'er responded, but did not express his opinion.

At this time, Bian Xiaolong, who was already with them, thought to himself, what you said is equivalent to saying nothing.

Everyone knows that it is better to scare the Japanese devils than to fight them, and use light machine guns, but where are the light machine guns now?

The Eighth Route Army District Team is really poor. They didn't have light machine guns in the first place, and this time they only seized some Type 38 rifles.

However, what is meant by many hands make light work? After Captain Zhang finished speaking, a soldier from the district team suddenly said: "Captain, we don't have real machine guns, but we have fake machine guns!"

"What?" Captain Zhang was stunned at first, but when he turned his head and saw a foreign iron barrel and a whip on the foreign iron barrel, he showed joy on his face.

"I found it in the bandit's lair. I don't know what the bandits kept it for. I brought it with me when I came here!" the soldier reported.

"A fake machine gun is better than nothing!" Wang Chuan also said happily, "Today's battle is a bit complicated. Everyone will act according to circumstances and don't shoot without orders.

By the way, you can also cut this whip into small pieces. When you need it, light one piece at a time. It sounds like shooting a short one to death!"

Wang Chuan is an old Red Army soldier after all. He has gained experience in fighting guerrilla warfare and fighting poverty.

Fighting is like living. If you have money and live a rich life, you can eat something good. If you have nothing, you can't starve to death. You have to eat grass roots and leaves!

"Our battalion commander will shoot first. Everyone will act according to circumstances and decide when to use this fake machine gun." Qian Chuan'er also said, but he sighed in his heart.

Seeing that the enemy will soon attack, when the enemy's gun is about to point at your face, why do you still use a fake machine gun?

Qian Chuan'er was very disapproving, but he would not discourage the enthusiasm of the district team, and he would try his best!

Climbing from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is a distance of four or five hundred meters. The puppet army in the front, no matter how slowly they walked, eventually reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Just at this time, a sharp gunshot rang out without any warning, Shang Zhen fired!

And just after Shang Zhen's gunshot, the people on the mountain saw that the puppet army coming forward from the hillside all lay down on the mountain road, and the Japanese army behind them did the same.

They heard the enemies below, whether they were puppets or Japanese soldiers, shouting, but as for what they were shouting, they couldn't hear it clearly because they were too far away.

The enemy's shouting was not clear, but they could hear the shooting sound from Shang Zhen behind them clearly.

Then, they heard Shang Zhen's second shot, but because the Japanese and puppet soldiers were all lying down, they couldn't figure out whether Shang Zhen hit the target.

But Wang Chuan had already praised loudly: "Good shooting, killed the commander of the little devils!"

Wang Chuan's words naturally boosted the morale of the Qu team.

But then some soldiers were confused. Everyone had the same eyes. No matter how good your eyesight is, the Japanese devils are lying down now. How could you see that Captain Shang shot the commander of the devils?

"You didn't see any little devils using Japanese swords?" Wang Chuan asked as if he saw everyone's doubts.

Oh, that's really the truth! Everyone understood after this sentence.

Who doesn't know what's wrong with the Japanese devils commanding the war?

Every time they attack, the officer in charge of command will draw out the command knife and point it forward among the enemies who attack, probably to shoot wherever he points!

But now everyone is watching. Although some Japanese soldiers raised their rifles again, there is really no one raising the command knife below!

So Wang Chuan's inference is valid!

While Wang Chuan was explaining his inference, Shang Zhen had already fired the fifth shot, and at the same time, the Japanese light machine guns at the foot of the mountain began to fire "da da da" and "da da da".

The bullets hit the rock where the team was hiding, making a clanging sound.

Obviously, the Japanese had discovered that they were here.

The Japanese army's firepower was very dense, and it was definitely not a matter of one or two light machine guns.

Bullets rained down, hitting the big rock ledge, causing stone chips to fly everywhere, so that some soldiers of the district team had to shrink their heads back.

"Don't worry, the little devils can't attack even if they use machine guns all day!" Wang Chuan's voice rang again.

At this time, the role of Wang Chuan, an old Red Army soldier, was reflected. With the previous inference that Shang Zhen had killed the Japanese commander, the soldiers believed him.

And the soldiers with quick brains also understood that it was really like this.

This mountain road is relatively flat, and the light machine guns set up by the Japanese must be below this mountain road.

The reason is that if the Japanese army deployed machine guns on both sides, that is, the left and right wings, due to the obstruction of the big rock ledge, the Japanese army could not see their current defensive position.

It was also because the Japanese army deployed light machine guns right below the road. However, if the Japanese army kept firing at the top of the mountain, the enemy below would not dare to move forward after walking a few dozen meters, because the Japanese light machine guns would kill their own people by mistake!

In terms of terrain, the Japanese army lacked a certain height to shoot bullets at the geographical high point on the top of the mountain.

Since the Japanese light machine guns fired upward from the bottom, if they wanted to provide sufficient firepower support, they had to knock down all the Japanese and puppet troops walking on the mountain road, especially the puppet troops!

"Don't stand there stupidly, hurry up, shoot two shots down the mountain, don't let the devils find our battalion commander!" Qian Chuan'er suddenly shouted.
