The War of Resistance

The night was still so dark.

It seemed that the enemy and us had stopped fighting, but both sides knew that this was a sleepless night, and the outcome would be known after dawn. Now they were just competing with each other in secret.

In the darkness, Shang Zhen struck a match under the cover of the rocks, and the bean-sized fire was blown out before it turned into a flame.

But this little light allowed Shang Zhen to see that the hour hand on the watch had pointed to three o'clock.

I have to hurry up, otherwise I might not go out. Shang Zhen had such an understanding, and then he carried a bundle of ropes and walked carefully towards the north mountain.

Shang Zhen was "testing the water". He wanted to climb down the steep slope on the north, but he saw the strange silence of the Japanese army and wanted to try it first.

Da Laoben and Bian Xiaolong climbed down the steep slope on the mountain. Shang Zhen certainly believed that he could do it, although it was actually more difficult to go down the mountain in the dark than to go up the mountain.

Shang Zhen groped his way to the side of the mountain, squatted there and looked at the dark mountain below. He shook his head and threw a small stone in his hand down the mountain.

In fact, he could also use the stupid method of climbing down with a rope.

But he was worried. He felt that the battle was so bad tonight. Who knew if there were Japanese devils setting a trap for him down there?

If he really fell into that trap, it would be too stupid!

The situation was like when I was a kid, I would trap hares with my friends. I would make a "dog strangling" trap and put it at the exit of the rabbit's nest. Once the rabbit came out, it would naturally get in. Once the rope was tightened, the rabbit would not be able to run away.

Why is that trap called a dog strangling trap?

That's because no matter whether it's a dog or a rabbit, it will struggle once it is strangled by the rope.

But because of the special way of tying the trap, the trap will get tighter and tighter after the prey enters.

In the end, it doesn't necessarily mean that the prey will be strangled to death, but it is definitely strangled by the prey with its own struggling strength!

Because no rabbit has the intelligence to get out of the trap by itself.

The hillside is steep but not vertical, so even if his rope is long enough, he can't let the stone tied to the rope go all the way down the mountain, so he can only throw a stone to try first.

A moment later, the piece of broken stone thrown by Shang Zhen hit the middle of the mountain, and the sound of "dang" came faintly, and then the sound of the broken stone bounced up and collided with the mountain again and rolled down.

Shang Zhen changed from squatting to lying and then listened with his ears. The sound of the stone had disappeared, but there was no movement at the bottom of the mountain.

But if he believed that there were no Japanese soldiers below just because of this, he would not be Shang Zhen.

He then threw down a rope with a small stone tied to it.

When the stone hit the mountain, he shook the rope and slowly let it down, so the stone hanging on the rope made a rustling sound similar to that of a person climbing down the mountain.

But it was only for a while, and the rope was still a few meters long, but it no longer made a sound.

This is of course because the mountain has a slope. After all, it is not a mirror-like wall, and it will always be supported by the mountain.

Shang Zhen shook the rope for a while, and seeing that there was no movement below, he pulled the rope back, and the rope dragged the small stone up the mountain with a sound.

I don't believe that the little devils didn't ambush, Shang Zhen was struggling in his heart, but then he thought, this is as if he doesn't hope to escape, it's unlucky!

But at this time, a "bang" sound came from the bottom of the mountain!

Shang Zhen's heart jumped and he quickly pulled the rope up, and at this time he saw a light spot flying up from the bottom of the mountain.

There was no choice, Shang Zhen could only hold the rope and lie down, and at this time the flare was shining above his head, and in a moment, the night disappeared and the day flashed!

This flare was fired by the Japanese army with a grenade launcher.

The flares fired by grenade launchers are not mortars, so the height is limited. For a moment, Shang Zhen felt that the flare was hanging above his head, as if he had suddenly returned to the Northeast, and in the middle of winter, he went into the house and warmed himself by the stove with hot air blowing on his face!

When Shang Zhen retracted his head, gunshots rang out from below. Although the gunshots were not as dense as in the south, there were still two light machine guns!

"Huh?" Shang Zhen was surprised at this time.

The Japanese bullets did not hit him, which was not surprising to Shang Zhen.

He was on the top of the mountain north of Wujiapo, which was the highest point. When he retracted his head, the Japanese could not see him at all. At most, he could only see the rope clanging below.

So, what were the Japanese devils' machine guns hitting the rocks with clanging sounds?

Shang Zhen didn't know that the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not find him, but they found the dummy that Da Laoben hung on the mountain wall during the previous operation!

Although he was at the top of the mountain, the slope was not drawn with a ruler. The mountain blocked his view and he could not see the dummy approaching below.

Shang Zhen felt that he still needed the rope, so he lay there and waited. At this time, there were continuous "boom" and "boom" sounds from other directions. The Japanese army fired flares again.

This time, the Japanese army fired a lot of flares. Although the flares were limited in height, they were brighter than the previous battle.

Seeing that it was impossible for him to go down the steep cliffs on the three sides, Shang Zhen could only turn back carefully.

He was not very familiar with the top of Wujiapo Mountain, and there were many traps on it. It took more than half an hour for him to return to the south.

When he looked down the mountain, he was relieved to see that the Japanese army did not attack again.

He suddenly had the urge to smoke a cigarette, but he never had a smoking addiction and would not carry cigarettes in his pocket, so he suppressed the idea.

He couldn't figure it out!

It stands to reason that with the terrain on the northeast and west sides, it would be impossible for climbing experts like him and Da Laoben to climb up, and the Japanese army naturally shouldn't have thought that someone would climb down from here.

But why would the Japanese army be so strict on those three sides!

And the Japanese devils were shooting at the bottom of the mountain in the north, what were they shooting at? This also made him feel strange.

Shang Zhen was not a great sage who could predict the future, so how could he know that Xu Lang had betrayed and surrendered to the enemy?

Naturally, he didn't know that Da Lao Ben had hung a dummy on the hillside at Bian Xiaolong's last-minute suggestion.

Since Xu Lang knew that he and Da Lao Ben had climbed up Wujiapo from the back mountain, how could he not have thought that Shang Zhen would climb down from there!

This was because Shang Zhen was cautious and didn't climb down rashly. Otherwise, if there was a noise and he was shot, it wouldn't be the dummy that Da Lao Ben hung, but him!

Shang Zhen thought about it for a while and couldn't figure it out, but he knew that he couldn't climb down from the steep cliff anyway.

Although it was pitch black when climbing down, if the Japanese devils' flares were fired again when he was halfway down, he would really have to wait for death!

So the only direction he wanted to escape was the south.

While the Japanese flares were not extinguished, Shang Zhen took advantage of the terrain and the cover of the corpses on the mountain road and began to secretly strip the clothes off the Japanese soldiers.

While he was taking off his clothes, he was still thinking, could it be possible for me to disguise myself as a Japanese devil and sneak away?
