The War of Resistance

Shang Zhen and the others ran to the northwest, so that they bypassed the village in front of them.

They didn't dare to get close to that village, otherwise, if the Japanese army ran on the road, they would also pass by that village, which was not what Shang Zhen wanted to see.

But in this way, Shang Zhen and the others faced a new situation. Although the Japanese army was a little closer, it was all right, but Shang Zhen said a more important situation while running: "There should be a river in front of you called Yu ( hū) Tuo River, I don’t know how wide it is.”

When he decided to follow the 691 regiment to fight the devils, he had seen the map with the regiment leader Lu Chao, and he even drew a simple diagram based on the map.

When he saw the name of the river at that time, he really didn't know how to pronounce the word "滹" of Hutuo River? At that time, he just copied it according to the gourd painting, and asked Chu later to find out.

"Why don't you run quickly?" Old Mao Wang said out of breath.

"Run, run as fast as you can!" Shang Zhen ordered.

So everyone quickened their pace again.

Shang Zhen and the others are not landlubbers anymore, they really learned how to swim during the special training.

Of course, as far as their water quality is concerned, the white strips in the water and the small white dragons in the waves will be avoided, and they just can't be submerged.

When Shang Zhen took everyone to the west to run errands, he had already considered the factor of the river.

Although he didn't know how wide the river would be, he could guess that the river would not be too fast because it was a plain.

"Old fellow, old fellow!" After running forward for a while, Shang Zhen suddenly saw a middle-aged man working in the nearby field.

Of course the middle-aged man recognized the Chinese army, but seeing Shang Zhen and the others running panting and fully armed, he was a little dazed.

"How far is the fellow from the Hutuo River in front?" Shang Zhen asked.

"One mile." The middle-aged man replied.

"Hurry up and hide, the Japanese devils are coming! Can we swim over?" At this time, Old Mao Wang also said.

"Ah?" The man in the middle was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "You can swim across water, but there are wide and narrow, deep and shallow, I will take you there!"

"Okay!" Shang Zhen was overjoyed.

So they ran forward again under the guidance of the middle-aged man.

One mile sounds like a long way, but it's actually only five hundred meters. After a while, the middle-aged man led Shang Zhen and the others to the Hutuo River.

It's just that the section of the river that the middle-aged man led Shang Zhen and the others was not the narrowest, it was more than 60 meters wide.

"The shallowest water here is more than your waist. You can wade through it. The deepest place is there." The middle-aged man pointed to the front left.

Shang Zhen glanced at the terrain there and then said.

"Thank you, brother, hide quickly, the Japanese devils will come after you immediately." Shang Zhen expressed his thanks, then waved his arms, "Cross the river!"

"Where should I hide? Only by crossing the river with you can I hide." The middle-aged man said.

Shang Zhen replied "Yes", and all of them went down the river clattering with their weapons in their hands.

This guide really came in time, the speed of walking through the river is definitely different from swimming.

After passing the Hutuo River, Shang Zhen pointed to the front right, "There!" Then he took the lead in speeding up and running forward.

Fortunately, it can only be regarded as early autumn, the river is not cold, and everyone's lower body is wet, but how can it stop? The shoes under their feet were trampled on "chirp" and "chirp".

When Shang Zhen and the others rushed to the woods more than a hundred meters away, Shang Zhen shouted "stop".

"Brother, run forward and find a place to hide, let's get a guy for the little devil!" Shang Zhen said.

"Then you should be careful, you run further west from here, there is Liujianao in ten miles, I'll go first." The middle-aged man really ran forward after speaking.

He had to run away, how could they compare to soldiers like Shang Zhen in terms of physical fitness.

"How to fight? We seem to be a bit low here!" Qiu Bo said at this moment.

The river bed binds the river water, so the river bed must be higher than the river water.

However, Shang Zhen and the others are now more than 100 meters away from the river bed. Based on their current position, if the Japanese army does not cross the river, they will not be able to see them.

But they must not stand on the bank of the river. The river is only tens of meters wide, and they will never shoot at the Japanese army that is chasing up.

It can be called a squadron, and they can't stand a platoon gun, let alone the Japanese Kwantung Army, not to mention that all of them are sharpshooters, but they are almost the same.

"Climb the tree!" Shang Zhen blurted out, he had already thought about how to beat the devils!

"Good idea!" The others praised in unison!

They were just dragging the Japanese army along the way, and it would be nothing if they could kill a Japanese army.

In the words, these people really climbed the tree.

The tree is not as thick as a waist, but it is as thick as a bowl of the sea after all. It is not a problem to climb a few meters high and imprison a person.

"Don't climb too high. If I say shoot, everyone will shoot. If you shoot, everyone will jump off!" Shang Zhen shouted when he climbed up a tree like a monkey.

"Hey! I said Erbai Guan Tiedou, you two go up the tree? Can you two mount machine guns on the tree? You two run forward. If there is a little devil rushing over, you can cover us!" At this time Old Mao Wang shouted.

In desperation, Erhanzi and Guan Tiedou had no choice but to take their deputy shooters and ran to the west.

But after Shang Zhen and the others climbed the tree, they saw that the Japanese army really caught up.

Facts have proved that all rivers must have a river bed. If there is no river bed, it is called a lake or an ocean. However, not all river banks may have hairy willow bushes, and they may be bare.

And now Shang Zhen and the others are in the same situation by the Hutuo River.

The Japanese soldiers chasing them were still running desperately, they didn't realize that there was a river in front of them.

"Get ready! Just have a good time, and then jump off the tree!" Old Mao Wang yelled.

They really adhered to the purpose of taking advantage of it and running away, and they would never shoot at the Japanese army, just because most of them used flower traps.

If this slows down the Japanese army and finds them in the trees, then they are living targets!

Seeing that the Japanese army was within range, Shang Zhen shouted in a deep voice, "Get ready—fight!"

At this moment, the flower organs in their hands rang in pieces, and the bullets flew towards the opposite bank like dense raindrops, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose from the forest.

"Withdraw!" Shang Zhen shouted again.

So in the woods, there was a thumping sound of people jumping down from the trees.

And amidst the plopping sound, there were still flower organs ringing "he he he". Then when the plopping of everyone stopped, only one person finally jumped from the tree, and that was Hu Zhuzi.

"Why don't you obey the command?" Qian Chuan'er, who got up from the ground and started running back, turned around and asked.

"It's so much fun! I fired all the bullets!" Hu Zhuzi said while climbing up.

"Not saving any ammunition!" Qian Chuan'er complained.

"Save the fart, doesn't the 691st regiment have bullets now? Go get them if you run out!" Hu Zhuzi said disapprovingly.

Everyone started to flee again, but this time they didn't know how many Japanese soldiers they defeated, because Shang Zhen didn't even look at it.
