The War of Resistance

Leng Xiaozhi and the others knew nothing about what was happening on their flanks, and they were also too preoccupied with taking care of themselves.

Just like the news Zhang Baifeng sent them, the Japanese army wanted to arrest a woman. So who could this woman be except Leng Xiaozhi?

Several groups of Japanese soldiers were chasing them, and some were trying their best to weave their way forward.

By now, the Japanese army had judged that there were only a few of them, so they were not afraid of casualties and chose unprotected places where they could easily run.

But they can't. They have to find a place where they can hide their bodies, and places where they can hide their bodies are destined to be difficult to walk, and they won't be able to go fast.

This is due to the terrain. The direction they ran in was not visible from a distance, but when they got closer, they discovered that there were no large woods or shrubs here. No matter how they ran, they would eventually appear in the sight of the Japanese army. inside.

And with the Japanese army's marksmanship, as long as the Japanese army discovered them, they could kill one with one shot, but they couldn't compete with the Japanese army if they killed one with two shots!

But it's not enough if they don't escape, because Leng Xiaozhi has already judged that there are traitors in their Eighth Route Army, and this news must be sent out.

Otherwise, what would happen if Leng Xiaozhi sacrificed her life this time? If the traitors cannot be found, there is no telling how much losses the Eighth Route Army will have to endure!

"Now we can only break out separately. No matter who runs out, he must send the news back to the Eighth Route Army." Leng Xiaozhi said, and at this time, they were surrounded by the Japanese army with their sporadic troops. On a hill more than ten meters high.

Although the Japanese army has not discovered them yet, it will be a matter of time before they are discovered. Rather than being trapped and waiting to die, it is better to break through forcefully.

"The three of us rush out first, and you three rush out from that direction." Shen Mugen pointed to a forest on the left and said. The three of you he meant were Leng Xiaozhi, Sun Baoer and Ma Han. "Leave us alone." , that forest is relatively large, and the possibility of breaking out is greater. "

After finishing speaking, he saw Leng Xiaozhi was about to speak and said: "There is no need to argue about this matter, and death is not terrible. But when our battalion commander comes back, if I can't protect you, sister-in-law, with all my life, then I will have to be the battalion commander." Give yourself a shot in the face!”

Again, although Shen Mugen may not know what duty is and what honor is more important than life, he also understands that if he makes a mistake in this matter, then life will really be worse than death!

"Don't rush forward yet. I saw a total of four Japs here. Do any of you see any Japs?" said Sun Baoer, who had been observing the enemy's situation.

"I saw the one that got there just now." Mahan pointed to a bush in the distance of the hill and said.

"If you say yes, then yes, I'm not talking about that." Sun Baoer said.

"Okay, come on, let's use a rifle each of the three of us, and the remaining two--" Shen Mugen said.

Shen Mugen didn't say much at the time, but this time he knew he had to say more. He couldn't let Leng Xiaozhi say it first. In fact, the Eighth Route Army fought just like their battalion. Officers were always in the front. He could We can't let Leng Xiaozhi rush in front.

"I'll take care of the remaining two, sister, you can beat them as you like, maybe there will be some Japs coming out!" Sun Baoer said.

There were six people in total, and Mahan did not say a word.

He is self-aware, let alone his shooting skills, although he will do his best.

Now that the target has been assigned, the rifleman set up the rifle and started to use the box gun to shoulder it.

"Prepare - fight!" Amidst Shen Mugen's command, gunshots suddenly rang out. It was like a platoon gun in an ambush battle, except that it was mixed with the rapid short bursts of box cannons.

Bullets are bullets. Even if you are a veteran, you will not be able to react when the gunfire sounds.

What's more, these Japanese troops were not far away from them, and the furthest one was no more than a hundred meters away.

In the sound of gunfire, the four Japanese soldiers who were exposed or were seen hiding somewhere were shot at the same time and fell down. As for the bushes that Mahan said were also hiding the Japs, who knew the Japanese soldier? Was he shot? Because he couldn't see it at all!

"Let's go!" Shen Mugen shouted, and at the same time he jumped up and rushed down the hill with his rifle, and the other two soldiers followed him with their rifles.

Ma Han originally wanted to run after him as soon as he fired his gun, but when he saw that Leng Xiaozhi and Sun Baoer were not moving, he lay down obediently.

After all, he had never fought in a war and did not understand the thoughts of the veterans.

The Japanese army came to chase them. Each group consisted of about a detachment, that is, about ten people. And just now they saw a total of five, which meant that at least half of the Japanese soldiers in this group did not show up or were not discovered by them.

Maybe the half of the Japanese army was behind them, maybe they were hiding somewhere they didn't find.

So, how could Shen Mugen let Leng Xiaozhi, Sun Baoer and the others rush down with his three soldiers?

If they rush down, they will be in the clear, and they will be shot by the Japanese troops from behind.

Leng Xiaozhi and the others stayed where they were, but they acted as a cover for Shen Mugen and the other three soldiers. This meant that Shen Mugen and the others were bait to attract the enemy's firepower!

Of course, fighting requires bravery and no fear of sacrifice, but it also requires calculations at any time and at any time. However, recruits always don't know how to calculate because they are nervous about participating in the battle for the first time. This is also one of the differences between recruits and veterans.

Leng Xiaozhi and the others' tactical choices were undoubtedly correct.

This choice comes at the cost of the three people who rush down the mountain first being shot by the enemy.

"Bang" another gunshot sounded, and a soldier was shot and fell down just after rushing down the foot of the mountain.

"Bang Bang Bang", at the same time, Leng Xiaozhi, who was covering, saw a bush under the hill shaking, and she immediately fired a short burst of shots, and a rifle fell out of the bush.

At this time, the short burst of the box gun on the left rear side of Leng Xiaozhi sounded again, and it was Sun Baoer.

Sun Baoer fired two short bursts on this side and then turned to the left.

Although they were only on the top of a small hill, they could not see the situation on all sides.

When they got on the hill, they saw a few Japanese soldiers on this side, and what about other directions? Sun Baoer's movement really found that there were Japanese soldiers on that side, so she fired in time.

However, the Japanese soldiers also hid in the dark. Although she killed another Japanese soldier and rolled over immediately, some Japanese soldiers still shot bullets at her previous position.

When Sun Baoer continued to look for the Japanese soldier, another gunshot rang out. Shen Mugen and another soldier who rushed down the hill were shot and fell down almost at the same time!

"Run!" Shen Mugen shouted after being shot.

"Baoer, run!" Leng Xiaozhi shouted, and it was too late to fight at this time.

Hearing the gunshots, the remaining Japanese soldiers were on the left rear side of the hill. When Shen Mugen and his men just rushed down the hill, the Japanese soldiers did not find them, but when they ran forward and were out of the cover of the mountain, they were exposed to the Japanese army's shooting range.

According to the previous breakout plan, Leng Xiaozhi and his men were going to run to the front of the right side of the hill, so that the mountain could block him again. If they delayed any longer, it would be too late!

Leng Xiaozhi and his men rushed down like this, and they really couldn't take care of what was behind them.

They couldn't turn back.

They didn't know that at this moment, behind the hill behind them, three Japanese soldiers were running around with rifles.

But just when the three Japanese soldiers bypassed the hill and found Leng Xiaozhi and his group running away, the sound of short bursts of box guns suddenly rang out!

It was Shen Mugen!

I don't know when Shen Mugen had turned into a supine position, and the box gun in his hand was shaking as he leaned forward slightly, and blood was flowing down his left arm.

It turned out that he was only shot in the left shoulder.

But Shen Mugen knew that he couldn't walk, even if he could walk, he couldn't. How could he not know that there must be Japanese soldiers behind him, and he had to cover the rear for the battalion commander's wife!

"Don't look back, run forward!" Shen Mugen shouted hoarsely, and the box gun in his hand kept firing.

When Leng Xiaozhi and his group rushed to the edge of the woods and turned back to look, Shen Mugen's box gun had stopped firing, and his leaning body also lay down.

"Sister, hurry up!" Sun Baoer shouted. But just when the two of them had just hidden behind a bush, the Japanese light machine guns in the distance suddenly started firing "da da da" and "da da da". Ma Han, who was looking back, was shot and fell down.
