The War of Resistance

Outside the farmhouse, a man was telling others about his battle plan.

That person spoke very carefully, and the others listened very carefully.

The person who spoke was naturally Shang Zhen, and the people who listened were of course the soldiers, whether they were from the Northeast Army or the Northwest Army.

This is a battle, a matter of life and death! The Japanese carry one head on two shoulders, and the Chinese are no different. Anyone who gets shot will die!

In terms of combat quality, the Japanese army will only be stronger than the Chinese army on an overall level.

So what are the prerequisites for the Chinese army to win a war? One, calculation. He thought of all the possibilities and planned to death the little devil. Second, don’t be afraid of death and dare to fight hard.

Shang Zhen's own soldiers absolutely trusted Shang Zhen's battle plan.

The soldiers of the Northwest Army also expressed that it was feasible. They also wanted to add something to Shang Zhen's combat plan. However, when they pointed out some flaws, after Shang Zhen explained it, they discovered that Shang Zhen had already considered it. pass.

For this reason, Shang Zhen also emphasized that there is no perfect plan, and sometimes one has to give up the other for the sake of one. Zhao Fengwu, the platoon leader of the Northwest Army, agreed with this.

The telephone line was cut off, and the soldiers who had ambushed each other hid themselves according to the terrain they had found in advance. According to the division of labor, there were only two directions for them to observe, one was to the east in the direction of Taiping Town, and the other was to the west of Liu. Market town direction.

Now Shang Zhen and the others are only six or seven miles away from Liuji Town, and naturally further away from Taiping Town.

However, they couldn't figure out which side of the Japanese army would send out soldiers to check the line first, or whether they would send people from both ends, so Shang Zhen and the others would naturally take the direction of Liuji Town as their main combat direction.

Because they came around from the west of Liuji Town, their ferry across the Huaihe River also stopped at the west of Liuji Town. After the battle, they would need to return the same way.

Behind a field ridge, two soldiers of the Northwest Army were lying down. They had rifles in their hands but they had not loaded the bullet into the chamber.

The two of them are also veterans, of course, veterans of the 59th Army.

In order to seize the weapons of the Japanese army, Shang Zhen sent out about thirty people, and the company of the Northwest Army sent out a platoon to guard the ferry. Now there are still about fifty people.

According to Shang Zhen's combat plan, if there were not many Japanese soldiers coming to check the phone lines, they would have to shoot less.

"Shu Yuan, do you think that kid's scale is accurate?" The soldier named Chang Wei lying there asked his companion, whose name was Ding Shuyuan.

"Then who knows, what's the use of an accurate scale? When it comes to war -" Ding Shuyuan shook his head.

Ding Shuyuan didn't finish his words, but Chang Wei also understood. Ding Shuyuan undoubtedly meant that in war, calculation alone is not enough. Sometimes you have to adapt to changes, because the enemy situation on the battlefield sometimes changes rapidly, and Shang Zhen was talking about the battle plan. I didn’t mention this!

Chang Wei stopped talking, and the two of them quietly observed the movement in the west.

After more than ten minutes, Chang Wei whispered: "Here he comes."

"Where?" Ding Shuyuan asked with renewed energy.

"In the tree hollow in front of you, do you see it? It's a carriage." Chang Wei said.

"A carriage? Then there are ten or eight of them from Japan?" Ding Shuyuan also saw the shadow of the Japanese army, but he still couldn't see clearly because they were too far away.

"This battle wouldn't be fun if there were ten or eight." Chang Wei muttered in a low voice. He involuntarily tightened his grip on the rifle in his hand, but then he let go.

The distance between the two of them is still a bit far away from the battle set by Shang Zhen. It must be more than a hundred meters, and there are still ambushed soldiers elsewhere in front of them. The two of them can't be of much help in a real fight. .

Their guns were so broken that even veterans like them knew that no matter how accurate their marksmanship was, it was useless. The rifling of the guns was worn away, and the bullets would not go on the line at all!

And due to the terrain, there was no way to hide anyone in the front, so at this time the two of them were more like indifferent bystanders to this battle.

The two of them continued to observe without speaking. After a while, they whispered almost at the same time: "That kid really guessed it right!"

They could now clearly see the Japanese troops driving the carriage. The number of people was indeed about the same as Shang Zhen expected. There were only four people in total including the carriage!

When talking about the battle plan earlier, Shang Zhen's original words were to the effect that not long after the Japs took over here, we on the north bank didn't hear of any big battles on the south bank. The Gui army had already taken cover, so the Japs should be arrogant. It's tight, so I guess there won't be many people checking the phone line.

Seeing that Shang Zhen had guessed correctly, Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan turned their heads slightly and began to observe the next development of the situation.

They saw that right in front of the Japanese carriage, there was another carriage slowly starting to leave.

Although it was a bit difficult for Chang Wei and the others to see the noses and eyes of the people on the carriage clearly from their position, they knew that there were two people on the carriage. The one holding the whip was Shang Zhen, and the one sitting behind was a young man. They heard that Shang Zhen called the half-grown boy Shi Xiaowan when assigning combat missions.

When Shang Zhen arranged the combat mission, Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan felt surprised. The reason was naturally because of Shi Xiaowan.

What surprised them was not just because of Shi Xiaowan's young age, but because according to Shang Zhen's operational requirements, the contrast between Shi Xiaowan's age and the requirements of the mission to be performed was so great.

Shang Zhen's plan was that he and Shi Xiaowan pretended to be ordinary people and walked in front of the Japanese army's carriage. When the Japanese army checking the line found the place where the telephone line fell from the telephone pole, their position happened to overlap with the Japanese army.

At this time, they could just attack and kill the Japanese army, and at the same time, the soldiers lying in ambush not far away could also help them carry out auxiliary attacks on the Japanese army.

But once Shang Zhen and Shi Xiaowan take action, they will fight at close range.

Although the Japanese soldiers are short, they are well-fed and well-clothed. They are generally stronger than the Chinese soldiers. Those who are as strong as small pots in the ground.

Even veterans like Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan dare not say that they will definitely win in a duel with the Japanese army. So now Shang Zhen is asking a young man like Shi Xiaowan to participate in close combat or even hand-to-hand combat. This is too risky!

The reason why Shang Zhen had to do this was, he said, to reduce the Japanese army's alertness.

It is undeniable that it makes sense for Shang Zhen to do this.

The Japanese army came out to check the line. If they saw two strong men sitting on a carriage in front of them, they would definitely be on guard. If there was a man and a half on the carriage, the Japanese army would be much less alert.

However, Shang Zhen would certainly be able to surprise the enemy by doing this, but is it reliable to expect a young man like Shi Xiaowan to fight against the Japanese army? Not to mention whether Shi Xiaowan could kill the enemy, Shi Xiaowan once again became a burden to Shang Zhen in fighting the Japanese army!

In the eyes of Chang Wei and Ding Shuyuan, the battle plan designed by Shang Zhen was too cumbersome.

Why bother? If it were them, they would also cut off the phone lines, and then wait for the Japanese soldiers checking the line to show up. As long as there are no more than ten Japanese Japs, everyone would shoot the Japs to death and snatch their guns. Then it would be over. ?

In this case, it is better to earn a few guns from the Japanese, then run away, and then look for opportunities when they want to grab the guns again!

If you have wine today, you will be drunk today; if there is no wine tomorrow, you will have to weigh it again! Why do you think so much about it?
