The War of Resistance

I ran here with great effort, but now you have destroyed the Japanese mortars. It's not easy for me!

Even though Shang Zhen always had a good temper, he couldn't help shouting at this time when he was almost halfway up the south slope of Wujiapo.

However, he was dissatisfied, but it didn't stop him from jumping up and running down the mountain in the darkness where the flares had fallen.

Going back to Wujiapo was Shang Zhen's way of risking his life.

However, it's hard to say how he ran to the middle of this mountain road!

At that time, he was covering the district team and fighting the Japanese army in the back. The flares illuminated the area below, so he couldn't run to the open ground, that would be courting death.

He couldn't stay where he was, because the Japanese had already discovered him. For him, the only safe place was Wujiapo.

His idea was, I ran to the south slope of Wujiapo, how did I get down? How can I go back!

The weapons of the Japanese and puppet troops there had not been completely confiscated, so he could hold on to the south slope of Wujiapo.

With his marksmanship, it would always be possible to kill some Japanese soldiers, right?

He didn't believe that the Japanese devils could keep firing flares into the sky. If he waited until dawn, he might be able to find a rope to climb down from another slope!

Or take a step back and think about it, even if he held on to Wujiapo for a day? There were weapons and ammunition, as well as food, and then he would wait until dark and climb down from the cliff.

In order to achieve this goal, Shang Zhen could only act when the flares fired by the Japanese army passed the top of Wujiapo and a shadow appeared on this side of the mountain, and then he had to use the cover of the rocks at the foot of the mountain to move closer to the entrance of the south slope step by step.

However, anyone can imagine how short the time was for him to use the flares to pass the top of the mountain and create a shadow on this side to run to the other side of the mountain road.

After all, before this flare fell, the Japanese flare rose again. He could only catch the flare and pass the top of the mountain. He ran to the mountain road in the moment when this flare had not risen.

Because the moment when the flare fell was very short, Shang Zhen certainly remembered clearly that he took three such moments to run to a place more than 40 meters away from the entrance of the mountain road.

At that time, he saw more than a dozen Japanese soldiers running out of the entrance with guns in the distance.

At that time, he thought, this guy is in trouble!

He didn't have the ability to kill more than a dozen Japanese soldiers without making a sound. If he wanted to kill the other party, he had to shoot.

But this shot exposed him.

Once exposed, it meant that the Japanese army would swarm in, so whether he could run to the top of the mountain on this mountain road was uncertain!

Fortunately, after the flare in the sky fell, the new flare of the Japanese army rose a little late.

In the darkness, Shang Zhen rushed to the entrance of the mountain road like a leopard in the dark. In his mind, he was still silently calculating the obstacles he encountered while running for more than 40 meters.

These included four large stones that were slightly higher than his waist and two "small stones" that just reached his knees. He had to dodge those stones.

Finally, when the flares rose and gave light to the world, he happened to jump into the intersection, but he was tripped by the body of a Japanese soldier at the entrance.

This fall was so severe that Shang Zhen blamed himself for not noticing that there was a dead person here when he went down the mountain!

But he knew that complaining was useless. He could only hide behind the body of the Japanese soldier and watch the more than ten Japanese soldiers coming from a distance.

The safety of the box gun had been opened, and Shang Fei was ready for another gunfight with the Japanese army.

But when the dozen Japanese soldiers were more than 100 meters away from him, they turned around and headed west of Wujiapo.

This made Shang Zhen feel relieved.

The Japanese soldiers were far away, and he walked up the mountain carefully.

The corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers were everywhere along the way. When you step on them, you will always feel muddy. Shang Zhen knows that it is blood!

But he was wearing a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, which are commonly known as "lazy shoes" by Northeast people.

There are no shoelaces, just put on the heels and walk. Isn't this the shoe that lazy people wear?

It is very convenient to say that this kind of shoes is usually very convenient, but on this muddy road with blood everywhere, after walking for a while, the soaked shoes are stuck to the blood from time to time!

This reason cannot be blamed on the shoes not being tight enough, but can only be blamed on the blood being too viscous, just like mud!

Shang Zhen, as a participant in the war, certainly didn't know that if there was another person present at this time, they would think that he - this ragged man with a box gun in his hand, covered in blood and mud, with the flares of the Japanese invaders in the distance as the background, was a killing god walking on the battlefield of hell!

But Shang Zhenzhen himself did not realize that he was a killing god. He couldn't fight barefoot, right?

After climbing the mountain, he had to wait until the Japanese flares stopped rising, and climb down the steep cliff in the dark!

How could he go barefoot without shoes?

Shang Zhen had no choice but to find a pair of rubber-soled lace-up shoes among the corpses of the puppet soldiers.

This delayed some time.

During the process of climbing the mountain, he still could not walk up Wujiapo openly when the flares were shining above his head. He had to avoid the time when the flares were shining, that is, to walk up in the extremely short time when the sun was just setting and not rising.

He needed to climb over or jump over the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, then hide for a while, look back and see what was happening down the mountain, and then he turned around and continued to move forward.

By the way, Shang Zhen found six or seven grenades on the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, cut off a leg of the Japanese soldiers' trousers with a knife, tied it up, and carried it with his own hands!

But just when he had gone through a lot of trouble to climb halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard gunshots coming from the direction of the village in the distance.

The gunshots were much clearer than the gunshots from the northwest, and Shang Zhen instinctively turned his head back when he heard the first gunshot.

Why is it the first gunshot, not the first gunshot? The reason is that the first gunshot was the sound of a short burst of a box gun.

For a gun expert like Shang Zhen, although the village is more than a mile away, if he can't tell that the first gunshot is a short burst, then all the wars he has fought in vain!

When did the Japanese devils use a box gun? Very rarely!

So Shang Zhen can be 100% sure that the gunshot must have been made by his own people!

Only the old men in his camp dared to sneak attack the Japanese artillery position at this time!

The gunshot gave Shang Zhen hope at the time, although the gunshot was replaced by chaotic gunshots later. It was also while Shang Zhen was watching that he saw and heard the explosion from the place where the Japanese flares rose!

Shang Zhen ran up the mountain because he was afraid of the Japanese flares.

If they went up Wujiapo once to find Chen Sankan's floating wealth, this time was the second time.

Now, the mortars that fired flares were blown up by his own people, so why did he run up the mountain? Why not take advantage of the darkness of the night to break out of the Japanese encirclement?
