The War of Resistance

In a forest, a soldier was walking with a flower mechanism. When he walked to a stream and met another soldier with a rifle in his hand, the two began to talk.

The two of them talked for a while, and the sky was already getting dark. The soldier who had gone out from the woods went back empty-handed.

Hu Biao and the others were not able to catch up to the two companies immediately, and they didn't know where the two companies went.

When it was getting dark, they could only rest in a wood after a day of hasty marching.

Not only did Shang Zhen not have the right to participate in the conversation between Hu Biao and those veterans, but even the veterans whose qualifications were not up to the mark were wise enough not to come forward.

Li Fushun came from the flower delivery agency for Shang Zhen.

Because Hu Biao decided to let Shang Zhen be on duty tonight, Hu Biao specifically told Li Fushun not to replace him tonight!

Li Fushun understood Hu Biao's intentions.

Now that Shang Zhen has chosen to be a soldier, Shang Zhen will sooner or later experience everything that these veterans have experienced, and the guard duty is one of them.

So when Shang Zhen heard his third brother Li Yongshun ask him if he was afraid of being on duty, Shang Zhen looked at the flower organ that Li Fushun handed to him, shook his head and said, not afraid.

Li Fushun did not mention Lu Dazuo's death in battle today, nor did he talk about the battles in the past few days.

However, he reluctantly told Shang Zhen some precautions on duty.

For example, although the sentinels cannot sleep when they are on duty at night, they cannot be too nervous and make everything look like an enemy.

For another example, you can set up some small organs in front of your post to prevent enemies from approaching in the dark.

For another example, in the use of the flower mechanism, the trigger must not be pulled to the end all at once, and the bullets in the drum must not be shot out in an instant.

In Li Fushun's words, there was not a single sentence that told Shang Zhen to be careful, but the words between the lines showed that he, as an older brother, was worried.

In the end, Shang Zhen said, third brother, go back, I am not a child, I have already killed several Japanese! Oh, by the way, you give me your water bottle, and I'll give it to you tomorrow morning.

Li Fushun thought that Shang Zhen was thirsty, so he handed him the military water bottle he was carrying, and then walked back.

Shang Zhen saw Li Fushun's back disappear into the woods, and when he silently glanced at the last smear of red on the western mountain, he jumped up from sitting on a rock.

He walked towards the edge of the woods, not forgetting to carry the flower organ on his back and pick up the kettle.

But Shang Zhen didn't go out of the woods, he took out the bayonet hanging from his waist and started to chop off the dead branches of the tree.

This forest is a poplar forest. I don't know how old the poplars are. Many trees have died. Even the old trees have green crowns, but there are many dead branches on them.

Shang Zhen chopped and smashed with a bayonet and soon got a lot of dead branches.

He took off his leggings and tied the two leggings together with a live buckle, then tied the dead branches with ropes and carried them back into the woods, where they quickly disappeared.

In such a situation, it was as if he wanted to light a fire to cook.

But after a while, Shang Zhen came back again, but he got a big bunch of branches and tied them with leggings to go back.

Shang Zhen carried the branches inside three times back and forth, and he could roast a suckling pig just based on the number of branches!

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there was the sound of "gurgling" watering from the stream among the woods.

Then a hazy figure stood up, it was still Shang Zhen, and his night duty began.

Shang Zhen has been running for a day.

The encounter with the Japanese army, the death of Lu Dazuo, the excitement, the shock, the sadness are all over, and all he has left now is exhaustion.

By this time, he no longer had the energy to practice raising his gun to aim, not to mention it was so dark everywhere, would he use his rifle to aim at the stars?

After all, there is a limit to manpower. I don't know when I will be able to practice the marksmanship of hundreds of steps, the iron feet that run like the wind, and the decisive decision-making skills like the company commander Hu Biao.

Before dark, he and Li Fushun also said similar things.

Li Fushun said that if you can persist with the team until now, running dozens of miles a day is already very good, better than when I first joined the army.

It's over, and I added a sentence to him, believe in fate, as long as you don't die, you can become the strongest!

My third brother didn't know whether he was comforting himself or hurting himself, Shang Zhen thought at that time.

But now what Shang Zhen thinks is, how tired! But he knew he was a sentinel, so naturally he couldn't sleep, so he gritted his teeth and persisted!

Only when a person calms down alone, does he realize how disturbed his thoughts are.

Shang Zhen thought about many things.

He remembered how naughty he was when he was a child, and how he was unwilling to learn carpentry skills from his father, and because he was the youngest in the family, his parents always spoiled her, so that now he was eighteen but had nothing to do. .

He also remembered that when he was fifteen or sixteen, the girl from the neighboring village was so pleasing to him that it kept him awake at night.

He also remembered last year when he suddenly became timid for some reason, and the sting in his heart when he saw someone close to him die.

There are too many things in a person's life that are unclear.

Even those who read books may not understand the true meaning of life after reading thousands of volumes, let alone Shang Zhen is only literate.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. At this moment, he felt tired and Shang Zhen was sleepy.

I can't sleep by myself! Shang Zhen reminded himself that he stood up silently in the darkness and looked at the stars in the sky.

There are not many stars in the sky today, and there are foggy clouds.

Even without scientific knowledge, Shang Zhen knew that the wind was blowing, and the cloud was torn apart by the wind.

Sure enough, a small wind slowly blew up between the sky and the earth.

Although the wind was not strong, but because their company's camp was in the woods, when the wind came, there would be the rustling of leaves and the occasional cracking of dead branches.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but think of Li Fushun's instructions to him, neither to fall asleep, but also not to be an enemy.

He listened carefully to the sounds in the woods in the night. In fact, he was a little scared alone in such a dark night.

But Shang Zhen thought again, the woods in the night are no different from the woods in the daytime, it's just that he can't see it, so what is there to be afraid of?

He enlightened himself in this way, and gradually he was no longer afraid.

But the mind can be adjusted, but the physical sleepiness cannot be adjusted.

Gradually, Shang Zhen became sleepy again.

For a recruit, especially for Shang Zhen whose body is not very strong, this kind of physical difficulty is irresistible.

Finally, he leaned against the big tree and drooped his head.

It's just that he shook his head and woke up again after a while.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but let out a long breath, because he felt the urge to urinate.

Shang Zhen didn't walk around in the woods either, he just stood still beside a tree and poured his own boy's urine on the tree trunk.

Shang Zhen's nature is prudent, since he was appointed as a sentinel, he must do his duty.

He refused to walk in the woods to relieve his drowsiness, because he was afraid that his movements would cause noise, so what if the enemy came?

And the reason why he wants to urinate against the tree roots is because he is afraid that the sound of his urination will be heard by interested people in the dark night.

This is a cautious character, maybe he won't be like this after he becomes a veteran.

After Shang Zhen finished relieving his hands, the feeling of sleepiness was still there.

Shang Zhen felt that he still couldn't overcome the drowsiness, but since he didn't intend to sleep, he had his own way to deal with it.

In the darkness, he touched the kettle on his body.

That kettle was exactly what Li Wushun left for him before he left.

Shang Zhen opened the lid of the kettle, and poured the water from the kettle into his mouth.

He was so good at drinking that after a while, he drank a whole pot of water.

But it's not over yet. Shang Zhen walked forward cautiously with the military water bottle, and after only a few steps, he squatted down and put the water bottle into the creek.

Yes, the sentry post chosen by Shang Zhen is by the creek.

Would the creek be good for him to defend in the event of a fight? Of course not, Shang Zhen is only for the convenience of drinking water.

Why does he need to drink water?

That's because people who drink too much water have to pee.

When a person pees while asleep, it is called bedwetting or bedwetting.

Generally speaking, adults do not pee when they are asleep, and they will wake up to pee when they are suffocated by urine, which is called nocturnal.

And Shang Zhen used this method to keep himself from falling asleep!

He insisted on the belief in his heart and refused to fall asleep, but his physiology made him sleepy again.

But he drank so much water, and there was nothing wrong with his kidneys, and the moment his head hung down, he felt the urge to urinate.

He is not a child, so he can only use his own urine to irrigate the tree beside the mountain.

After "watering" the tree, he forced himself to go to the stream to fill his canteen.

In this windy and starry mountain night, Shang Zhen, who was on duty for the first time, tossed and tossed around until the eastern sky began to lighten slightly.

And this time is also the darkness before dawn, that is, the time when the sky is the darkest.

But at this moment, Shang Zhen heard a strange noise in the woods ahead.
