The War of Resistance

It is said that Shandong is a province with a large population. How come we haven't seen a village after walking for so long?

We can't all go to Guandong, right?

Shang Zhen, who was tired and sleepy in the woods, thought, and at this time, he had been walking in the woods for more than two hours.

The sound of gunfire had faded away and became inaudible, and what came instead was the fatigue of marching and the pain of the wound on his left calf.

The sun came out, but the dew in the forest was still there, and the wound wet by the dew was particularly painful.

Shang Zhen struggled to climb to a high point where there were not many trees, and habitually looked back under the cover of the trees.

The road was lush with trees, and there were also large gaps between the trees. That was also an open area with gray or green grass.

The open area that Shang Zhen could see now was two or three miles away from him. He looked there to prevent any pursuers.

He stared at the open area for a while, but no figure appeared.

It seems that he had killed more than ten Japanese soldiers with a box gun at once, which had intimidated them!

So he ignored the back and began to look in other directions.

At this time, he was surprised to find that there were fields in front of his original direction, and there were woods and hills at the end of the fields.

But this was not the most important thing. The important thing was that he saw smoke, the smoke of cooking, and the cooking smoke should be behind the hill.

There was smoke, there were people, there was food, Shang Zhen saw hope.

Shang Zhen stood up with all his strength and began to move towards the land of hope again.

For someone like him who had been marching and fighting for many years, to a certain extent, fatigue did not matter. He learned to try his best to forget all the discomfort in his body, as if that body was not his own.

Shang Zhen's back was limping.

Even if a person's feet were rubbed with blisters, it would be difficult to walk, not to mention that he had been shot in the left leg!

Fortunately, the bullet did not remain in his calf. As for what the wound would look like after it became inflamed, this was not a problem Shang Zhen could consider now.

But Shang Zhen did not know at this time that his back as he turned and left had already appeared in a telescope, and the person holding the telescope was Xu Lang!

Right next to Xu Lang was the Japanese battalion commander and the translator.

As for behind them, there was a large group of Japanese soldiers standing with guns, like jackals appearing in the forest!

"Is it Shang Zhen? His Excellency Qingzhong is asking you?" The translator urged.

Hearing the translator's urging, Xu Lang hurriedly put down the telescope in his hand and said: "Report to Qingzhong Taijun, the person in front is Shang Zhen, but he seems to be injured!"

"It's over, whether he is injured or not, the imperial army has already seen it." The translator reprimanded Xu Lang again, and Xu Lang hurriedly bowed and said yes.

The interpreter ignored Xu Lang and told the Japanese officer Qingzhong that Xu Lang had confirmed Shang Zhen's identity.

The Japanese captain named Qingzhong thought for a moment and gave orders.

So they divided the Japanese army into three parts. He led one part to pursue the original route, and the other two parts naturally began to outflanking.

Anyway, Qingzhong has already observed that Shang Zhen must have been injured.

It is said that in this war, the Japanese army once created a record of killing the enemy with a Type 38 rifle at a distance of 800 meters, but it can be imagined that such a gunman is definitely one in a million, and the group of Japanese soldiers behind obviously do not have such a sharpshooter.

The Japanese soldiers who first chased Shang Zhen were shocked by Shang Zhen's shooting skills and did not attack Shang Zhen, but just followed him.

Of course, there were times when they lost Shang Zhen, but then another soldier found the traces of Shang Zhen walking in the grass. As for the Japanese battalion leader Qingzhong, it has been a while since he led his troops to catch up.

However, he admired his men's behavior of not acting rashly.

Now, this battalion leader Qingzhong also found Shang Zhen difficult to deal with, and the ten men who were shot dead by Shang Zhen when he rushed over were examples!

The Japanese battalion leader Qingzhong was not an ignorant Japanese. He really led his battalion to fight against the entire division of the National Army.

But how did that National Army division fight?

It cannot be said that those Chinese officers and soldiers ran away as soon as they saw the shadow of their Great Japanese Imperial Army, but they also collapsed at the first touch!

The losses caused to his battalion by that one division were not as great as Shang Zhen's battalion!

So, it was okay for his men to be careful with Shang Zhen!

It can be said that Shang Zhen neglected this point, but it was also because the Japanese army treated him in an uncharacteristic way this time!

The battle has always been a contest of intelligence and force between the enemy and us. There is only a relative chance of winning but no absolute chance of winning.

The Japanese army started to act under the order of Qingzhong, but there was a detail in this battle that was overlooked by both the enemy and us!

The Japanese army that bypassed the left wing had just passed through a forest and was surprised to find that there was a road ahead!

The kind of road that can be used for horse-drawn carriages, although it is bumpy!

If you want to ask why this part of the Japanese army knew that horse-drawn carriages could be used on this road, it was because they saw a Chinese civilian driving a horse-drawn carriage on the road, only fifty or sixty meters away from them!

The Japanese army tracked Shang Zhen all the way down on the battlefield, but where did the road come from? They had no cavalry, and the officers and soldiers of Shang Zhen’s camp marched a long distance without sleeping all night and started fighting, and the Japanese army was no exception.

And now they really saw the road, and there was a carriage on the road!

What were these Japanese soldiers going to do? They were going to make a detour and intercept Shang Zhen, so a carriage would be the best!

Some Japanese soldiers raised their rifles, but were immediately scolded by the leading officer in a low voice.

What was he scolding? At this critical moment when Shang Zhen was about to be trapped in the encirclement, could he shoot? If he shot, wouldn't Shang Zhen run away like a rabbit?

Under the command of the leading officer, all the Japanese soldiers took advantage of the terrain to hide in the carriage!

There was a young man in his twenties in the carriage, wearing a small jacket with a front opening, and he was grinning at this time, of course, because he was shaken by the carriage.

He was also in a hurry, so the carriage was driving fast. He drove the carriage fast on such a road. What could that man say?

It looks very nice to fly in the clouds, but it almost makes his internal organs turn upside down!

Of course, there are rubber tires nowadays, and ordinary people call them rubber wheels.

But the problem is that not only ordinary people, but also landlords and wealthy families don’t have them!

How much rubber can China produce in a year now? How many rubber wheels can be made from rubber? Even if there is, it is not for the people, it must be called strategic materials.

So the wheels of this horse-drawn carriage are made of wood.

Wooden wheels are not inflatable rubber wheels. You can imagine how bumpy it will be when driving on this bumpy dirt road.

At this time, the young man in the carriage was not destined to die. It happened that the pit that the carriage passed was a little deep and a little big, so the carriage was bumped a little more severely than before.

The young man in the carriage didn’t control his body balance well under the bump and leaned back, but fell directly on the carriage.

"Damn beasts--" the young man was still cursing.

But when he was lying down, he was surprised to see the shadow of a Japanese soldier wearing a khaki uniform and holding a rifle on his left side!

Moreover, because he was lying on his back, the Japanese devils he saw were all lying upside down!
