The War of Resistance

"Boom", the Japanese army fired another flare at the top of Wujiapo Mountain. Under the glow of the flare, the shadowy Japanese invaders were holding Type 38 rifles, searching, running, or shooting.

And just in the northwest direction, on the open ground behind a forest, the remaining members of the Eighth Route Army District Team were desperately running towards the larger forest ahead.

"Has anyone seen our battalion commander?" someone shouted, it was Qian Chuan'er.

When Qian Chuan'er shouted, Hou Kanshan and Shen Mugen answered almost at the same time: "No one saw him!"

"You are still running!" Qian Chuan'er cursed, "Come back with me to meet the battalion commander!"

When Qian Chuan'er shouted, Hou Kanshan and Shen Mugen turned around and followed Qian Chuan'er to run back.

"Wait, we will go with you!" The people of the District Team also stopped, and one of them said.

Now they were neither close nor far from Wujiapo. Even if the flares were bright, the light was already much weaker when they were here, but they could tell that the person who was speaking was Wang Chuan.

"Don't add to the chaos. It will be hard to decide who will save whom!" Hou Kanshan replied to Wang Chuan unhappily, and then he followed Qian Chuan'er and Shen Mugen and ran back.

"Wait, I'll go too!" someone else shouted in the crowd, and after shouting, he turned around and ran back with a gun. That was Jiao Fenghe.

When Jiao Fenghe moved, there were more than a dozen puppet soldiers who defected to Shang Zhen with the District Squad.

These puppet soldiers were going to Shang Zhen, not to the District Squad of the Eighth Route Army.

Then one of the puppet soldiers shouted, "Old Jiao, wait for me!" He turned around and chased Jiao Fenghe.

The remaining puppet soldiers looked at each other. They wanted to discuss it, but time was so tight at this time, how could they discuss it?

Therefore, everyone's decision was based on their own heart, and some of the remaining puppet soldiers turned around to chase.

People always follow the crowd, so how could the remaining puppet soldiers be willing to stay with the Eighth Route Army? They turned around and chased after them.

In this way, only the Eighth Route Army District Team stayed in place, and the Eighth Route Army had to follow orders in all actions.

Hou Kanshan's words just now, "You will only cause trouble if you go there", were really choking for the Eighth Route Army, but Wang Chuan couldn't refute it.

The reason was that Hou Kanshan just said the truth without considering other people's feelings.

"Everyone, hurry up!" Just when Wang Chuan was stunned by Hou Waishan, Xu Lang shouted.

"I don't agree! Forget it, you go first, and I will go back to meet Captain Shang!" Wang Chuan was anxious at first, but after thinking about it, he had to admit that Hou Kanshan's words were right.

It can be said that Shang Zhen rescued most of the people in their district team, and now, Shang Zhen was left alone to cover our Eighth Route Army District Team, but he did not send anyone to rescue them. Wang Chuan could not get over it no matter what!

"Comrade Wang Chuan, are you going to violate the party's command? Isn't it normal to sacrifice a small number of comrades to save the large army?" Xu Lang took out what he was best at.

If it were normal, Wang Chuan would definitely take care of Xu Lang's feelings, but now it is a battle, a life-and-death moment. As a veteran, Wang Chuan has no time to quibble with Xu Lang. In a hurry, he said coldly: "Comrade Xu Lang, I will report your performance in this operation to your superiors truthfully!"

After that, Wang Chuan turned around and took the box gun and chased Qian Chuaner, Hou Kanshan and others!

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you retreat quickly? Are you all going to die in there?" Xu Lang was also anxious.

How could he not know what Wang Chuan meant by reporting truthfully to his superiors? In this operation, his performance was indeed not glorious.

Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment after hearing what Xu Lang said, and then shouted: "Comrades, withdraw first, and whoever can escape will be counted!"

He knew that what Hou Kanshan said just now was true, and it would be useless for them to go.

But Captain Zhang didn't understand a truth after all, that is, it is not a pity to die for justice.

Chinese people, it doesn't mean that if someone calls you a brother, then you are really a brother. Real brothers are exchanged for life, and this is exchanged for each other's guns.

The District team no longer cared about Qian Chuan'er and the others, and ran desperately to the forest in front.

But they saw the forest in front of them and just entered the forest, they heard gunshots behind them.

When everyone looked back, under the glow of the flares, they saw that the people running in the front, whether it was Qian Chuan'er, Hou Kanshan and the others, or the puppet soldiers, had disappeared, and they had gone into the woods.

But they saw Wang Chuan, who was the last to run over. The people in front had gone into the woods, but Wang Chuan was still running desperately.

And in the subsequent gunshots, everyone in Qu's team saw Wang Chuan's body pause and fall in the gunshots!

They looked out from the edge of the woods and saw that the Japanese army had appeared in another part of the woods where they were.

Wang Chuan died just like that!

A Red Army soldier who had walked through the 25,000-mile Long March, a Chinese soldier who once again devoted himself to the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement, died just like that!

The people in Qu's team couldn't believe the facts in front of them, but facts are facts. A moment later, Xu Lang shouted "retreat" again!

The flare in the sky had already fallen, but everyone knew that before this flare fell, the second flare of the Japanese army would rise.

The glow cast mottled shadows in the woods, casting them on the faces of the members of the 7th Team of the Eighth Route Army. Some soldiers of the District Team showed reluctance and indignation.

But now, what can they do?

In terms of rank, both Xu Lang and Wang Chuan are higher than them, but they are not from a combat unit. They came here for the bandits' floating wealth.

Shang Zhen is from the Northeast Army after all, which makes him even worse than Xu Lang and Wang Chuan.

Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. Let alone Shang Zhen and Wang Chuan, even if they are sacrificed, the remaining people still have a chance to survive, so why not retreat?

Captain Zhang could only grit his teeth and say, "Retreat quickly!"

But in this situation, if they want to retreat, can they retreat?

They were at the edge of the woods, stretched their necks and saw Japanese soldiers appearing in another part of the woods, but the Japanese soldiers also saw them.

Just as they turned to run into the woods, Japanese bullets came at them, and another soldier from Qu's squad was shot and fell to the ground.

"Everyone retreat quickly, I'll cover you!" Captain Zhang shouted.

He fired the box gun in the direction of the Japanese army, and the other soldiers desperately drilled into the dense woods.

But it was obvious that the Japanese army did not intend to let them go. With a "bang", another flare was fired into the sky by the Japanese army, and this time it was above the woods.

The sound of gunfire, the "thump" sound of the enemy and our soldiers running, and the "rustling" sound of leaves being hit were all mixed together, and they kept ringing in the woods.

What shocked the people of Qu's squad was that the Japanese army was not just the one they saw. There was another gunshot in front of them on the right, and there were even Japanese soldiers popping up in the gaps between the trees there!

Soldiers from the district squad were shot and fell to the ground, and then a soldier shouted "Captain Zhang died!"

The enemy situation was so severe that the remaining personnel had to run desperately in the direction where the Japanese army was not found, and Xu Lang was the fastest among them!

Why did Xu Lang run the fastest?

It was not because he ran faster than the soldiers because of his strong marching ability, but because the others saw that the Japanese army would stop and shoot from time to time, but he was running with all his heart!

This was the first time Xu Lang experienced such a battle, and it was also the first time he was so close to the Japanese army.

Now Xu Lang could do nothing but run. He didn't want to die. There were so many things in this world that were worth his nostalgia!

While running with a heavy breath, he even thought about whether he should pretend to be a dead man?

But then he gave up the idea.

Because the veterans all said that pretending to be dead on the battlefield was the most stupid behavior. After winning the battle, both the enemy and us would shoot or knife the enemy's body!

Xu Lang finally got into a dense bush. When he got here, he could no longer run.

He thought that when the Japanese devils' flares fell from the sky and the place became dark, he would have a chance to escape.

But the development of the situation disappointed him. Before the first flare fell, the Japanese army fired the second bomb again, and he could only lie in the woods.

The bushes were very dense. Xu Lang, who was lying on the ground, could see the gap in front of him in the mottled light and shadow of the flares.

Suddenly, he saw a pair of big-toed shoes belonging to the Japanese army appeared in front of him, and the top of the big-toed shoes was naturally khaki leggings.

At this time, Xu Lang had forgotten that he was holding a gun in his hand, and he instinctively wanted to crawl backwards.

But he felt a cold feeling on the back of his neck. He turned his head subconsciously and saw the bayonet shining under the flare pointing at his eyes!
