The War of Resistance

Shang Zhen set up his rifle and aimed at the boat in the river in the distance.

He didn't know what was going on with Mr. Wang and the others, and he didn't know how Liu Chengyi would "get back" to him this time.

He has given up on these things because now he needs to fight.

He had to concentrate on the battle, not to mention that this time he needed to shoot accurately. He just wanted to be an assassin hiding in the dark.

The position he chose was at the side and front of the position. God knows why the Japanese planes dropped bombs here before, but it also provided him with what he thought was the best hiding place.

Now the heavy machine guns in the main position have sounded, and the rifles have begun to fire. The terrain here is low, and because there is no danger to defend, the soldiers have not set up defenses here at all, so as to protect themselves and others, the place becomes inconspicuous. The mountains have become dewy.

Shang Zhen took several deep breaths in order to calm down the violent breathing he had just created when digging the trench for the transfer.

It was almost dusk, and the sun was a little cold amidst the diffuse smoke, but Shang Zhen still caught some faint light spots on the ship, which were Japanese helmets.

All the sounds around him seemed to gradually disappear, and Shang Zhen slowly immersed himself in his own world - a world belonging to a gunman.

He aimed at a spot of light on the ship in front and found the feeling he had when shooting. There was no need for a commander to shout, and he just slowly pulled back his index finger on the trigger.

The "pop" sound of gunfire was so inconspicuous on the battlefield that was already full of gunfire sounds. Who knew whether it could hit the invaders on the ship?

Shang Zhen could only shoot based on his own feelings. He could not confirm whether the shot would hit a certain part of the invader's body because the boats on the Huaihe River were undulating.

But it doesn't matter, now we are fighting cluster targets. Shang Zhen knows that as long as he shoots enough bullets, his marksmanship will definitely kill and wound more enemies than ordinary people!

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, Shang Zhen devoted himself to the battle but seemed to have nothing to do with it. He fired one shot after another at the archers who were crossing the river in an area within sight of the Japanese army.

He is like a farmer who only sows and not reaps; he is like a teacher who only cares about chanting regardless of whether the students are listening or not.

Bullets from both the enemy and our side were flying over his head. From time to time, missed bullets from the Japanese army penetrated into the soil in front of him, but he seemed not to see them.

He had made enough disguise, and there were no companions around him. He did not believe that there would be Japanese soldiers on the floating ship holding binoculars to search for an "assassin" like him who had integrated with the environment.

In fact, Shang Zhen's behavior can be called gambling on life.

Yes, there are no other soldiers here shooting at the Japanese army, but if the Japanese army really notices this place and shoots at it with machine guns, then he will definitely die!

But if you bet on your life, just bet on your life.

On this battlefield on the north bank of the Huaihe River, which officer and soldier is not gambling with his life?

He, Shang Zhen, just didn't want to stand on the main position and let the Japanese artillery fire kill him. He also had a unique idea and used a method similar to the dark under the lamp to hope that the Japanese army would ignore this area and not cover the area with firepower to maintain his attack. .

Who would notice Shang Zhen when bullets were flying randomly as the Japanese troops fought for crossing, and Shang Zhen himself had no idea how many or dozens of Japanese soldiers he had killed.

The distance was too far, and the Japanese soldiers only exposed their heads or upper bodies on the ship's bangs. They were not standing. Even if the Japanese soldiers were shot, Shang Zhen wouldn't be able to see anything.

Amidst the explosions of the mortars, several Japanese rubber boats were overturned. Several wooden boats began to circle after crossing the center line of the Huaihe River. They were probably damaged by the bombs and leaked water. There were injured Japanese soldiers. They struggle in the water, and some disappear with the water.

But at this time, the sound of mortars from the 337th Brigade stopped. Although the sound of gunfire and explosions was still there, there seemed to be helpless sighs of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers on the entire battlefield.

Then there was the sound of heavy machine gun fire from the Northeast Army. However, it was soon discovered by the Japanese army. Artillery shells flying from a distance exploded on the heavy machine gun position. As the smoke dispersed, only the fallen bodies were left. Heavy machine guns, no gunner can get up and shoot anymore.

Sixty-seven Japanese rubber boats and several wooden boats finally hit the shore successfully.

Some Japanese soldiers put the springboard on the ship from the side of the ship to the shore, and then some Japanese soldiers ran down the springboard, but more Japanese soldiers jumped directly into the cold shallow water.

"Da da da" "ta da da", the Japanese machine guns on the bow were still firing at the main Chinese position, and the defenders naturally also shot desperately at the Japanese troops who had landed, hoping to annihilate the Japanese troops on the river bank without using them. to establish a foothold.

The battlefield is still fierce.

The firepower of the defenders on the main position became stronger. It was because they saw that the Japanese army successfully washed ashore and a reserve team was sent up. The firepower that had been sparse and messy by the Japanese artillery instantly became a fire net again.

During the chaos, no one noticed that there was a rifle diagonally in front of the main position that was still making "pop" and "pop" sounds. However, the owner of the rifle had already seen it at this time, and with the sound of his own gun, A Japanese soldier fell down in the shallow water or on the river bank.

The Japanese army quickly deployed its troops, and the machine guns were set up on the shore, and the grenade launchers also began to "sizzle". Smoke and dust exploded again on the defenders' position, and several machine guns that had not moved their positions in time were directly bombed. Dumb.

At this time, the tactical prowess of the Japanese army was once again displayed. There were those who were covering and those who were charging, and the Japanese army moved towards the forward position.

The defender's position was on a gentle hill. Although the high point was not high, it was still a high point. The Japanese army had to capture this high point if they wanted to gain a foothold on the river bank.

As long as the Japanese army seizes this high point, subsequent Japanese ships will be able to cross the river in a steady stream, and with the gentle hills in front of them blocking the way, the Japanese army can make arrangements calmly.

You can decide whether to hit or not, and Shang Zhen, who had moved to another bomb crater at this time, pointed his rifle at the Japanese soldiers using grenade launchers.

The Japanese troops attacking the Huaihe River were all members of the top-ranked Guards regiment of the Japanese army. Who among those who used grenade launchers was not a veteran? Shang Zhen and Qiao Xiong were good at using grenade launchers, but he also needed others to load the grenades.

But the veterans of the Japanese army are not the same. They do it all by one person. One person holds the grenade with one hand and loads the grenade with the other hand.

One of the difficulties in using a grenade is that the shooter relies on experience to judge the distance of the target to determine the angle of the grenade. Another difficulty is to keep the hand holding the grenade steady at the moment of launch.

It is conceivable that when a person is loading a grenade, the grenade barrel will tremble a little, and this tremor will be a thousand miles away.

But the veterans of the Japanese army were able to keep shooting accurately and hit nine out of ten shots!

When Shang Zhen fired his first shot, a Japanese grenadier fell down, and the grenade in his hand hit the grenade barrel with a "dang" sound.

Shang Zhen's second gunshot sounded. Another Japanese soldier squatting on the spot had already stuffed the grenade into the grenade. But at this time, the bullet fell. So the Japanese soldier who was shot fell forward and the grenade was gone. He fell down, but the grenade was shot flatly from a different angle.

With a "boom", the grenade exploded on the gentle slope ahead.

As for the Japanese army, they noticed this scene but didn't take it seriously because it was relatively low-lying and there were no Chinese soldiers there to shoot at them.

What they didn't know was that Shang Zhen, who had retreated into the crater, had spit out a mouthful of dust.

"If you play too hard, you almost kill yourself!" Shang Zhen felt scared.

It turned out that the missed grenade just now happened to explode right in front of the crater where he was hiding!

He could still smell the burnt smell of the "hat" on his head, where shrapnel from the grenade had grazed the top of his head.
