The War of Resistance

"Are you happy?" When Shang Zhen was rolling up his trousers, Ma Erpao asked him with a smile.

Yesterday, he fought with the Japanese army in the rain, and Shang Zhen's clothes were already soaked.

Of course, even if they weren't soaked, they wouldn't be able to wear them again, because all they were wearing at the time were Japanese army clothes.

So last night, after Shang Zhen blocked the Japanese army's den and threw two grenades inside, he didn't even enter the house to search for the remaining enemies.

God knows how many houses there were in the house where he threw the grenade. If there was a partition or something blocking it, then some Japanese soldiers would have to survive.

Shang Zhen is not a god. If he dares to break into the house again, the Japanese soldiers will aim their guns at the door, and he will be dead!

So Shang Zhen was guarding not far from the door. However, after he guarded for more than half an hour, no Japanese soldiers came out of the house, and no Japanese soldiers came from other directions.

Shang Zhen estimated that there were not many Japanese soldiers left in the village. Being hungry, sleepy and cold, he simply went back to find his few people.

They found a wealthy family, went inside, rummaged through everything, and changed their outfits, and then they went to sleep.

When Shang Zhen returned to the village to see the situation at dawn, he saw that the soldiers had no one to call the shots.

At this time, Shang Zhen was rolling up his trouser legs and had already taken off his cotton shoes. The shoelaces were tied together by him. Two muddy shoes were hanging around his neck, and he was already barefoot.

The water is very cold, but it's better than getting your shoes wet again, right?

"Will I be happy if I wear a pair of shoes that don't get wet?" Shang Zhen retorted while rolling up his trouser legs, "Besides, we earned these shoes."

There was a puddle on the road ahead, and Shang Zhen didn't want to get his shoes wet again.

As for most other people, their shoes are wet, but what does that have to do with him? They haven't killed as many Japanese devils as they themselves have!

"That's not what I meant, hehe, what I meant was-" Ma Erpao said after a pause, "There are so many people following Chief Shang, isn't that happy?"

Shang Zhen understood what Ma Erpao meant when he heard what Ma Erpao said. He rolled up his trousers and looked back. All the new soldiers and veterans were looking at him. It can't be said that everyone trusts him, but at least they trust him. Much more than what happened to that Ma Chuncai. Otherwise, why would he suffer this fate if he couldn't take a better road?

"Hey, what's happiness? I'm actually very happy without you, but I can't bear to let you be cannon fodder with me, so I have to fight tooth and nail. Okay, let's go!" Shang Zhen said helplessly.

The sound of water "swish" sounded, and Shang Zhen just walked away, but suddenly a veteran behind him who was wearing cotton shoes and wading in the water suddenly said: "I have never seen anyone who can brag like you!"

The veteran's words caused the surrounding veterans to burst into laughter, and the recruits also grinned in amusement.

Shang Zhen continued to walk forward without answering, but there was a smile on his face. Yes, he had unintentionally boasted about his awesomeness. This bragging was a bit big, as if he could be used as cannon fodder to make him more awesome. It's like everyone else was saved.

Dozens of people waded through the puddle, and Shang Zhen put on his shoes.

"I don't understand why you refuse to walk on the main road." Lu Yifei walked for a while before asking Shang Zhen the topic.

"There's no reason. There weren't any shots fired in those two villages since last night. Wasn't it occupied by the Japs?" Shang Zhen expressed his judgment.

"That's true, but no, unless the kid came from another direction and didn't pass through our village, there's no way we wouldn't know." Lu Yifei replied.

As far as Lu Yifei knew, after his company voluntarily abandoned the village, the Japanese troops that passed through the village were only a small group. He felt that the two companies behind his battalion should be able to defend their respective positions.

"Even if the Japs didn't capture those two villages, if they were defeated and retreated, they would definitely pass by our village. Do you think the Japs would take the main road or the small road?" Shang Zhen asked.

"Of course we should take the high road, I understand." Lu Yifei replied.

Not only Lu Yifei understood, but also the other soldiers listening to the two of them spoke.

"We'll see what happens later. If a fight really breaks out, we might not be able to walk on the small road." Shang Zhen said, and then sighed, "Who can say for sure about a war? Sometimes we just have to take it one step at a time."

After that, everyone stopped talking and just walked on the muddy road with slippery steps. Some people kept falling down, and their bodies were soon covered with mud.

"Come on! What are you afraid of if you fall a few times?" At this time, Shang Zhen encouraged everyone, "Think about the little devil, at least the little devil's tank is lying down, and even the little devil's plane will not dare to do this. come out!"

When Shang Zhen said this, the soldiers thought that this was really the case!

The large-toed suede shoes of the Japanese army are slipperier than the cloth shoes of the Chinese army. If they fall, the Japanese will have to fall twice!

Shang Zhen and the others didn't know that just the year before last, a Chinese writer passed away, and he was from the same era as them.

The writer named this characteristic of the Chinese people the "Ah Q spirit." What is the Ah Q spirit? It is the method of spiritual victory. If you can't defeat others, then just indulge in obscene imagination and imagine defeating them, even if you paralyze yourself. , but I was still in a good mood after all.

I have to admit that sometimes this spiritual victory method is really useful!

Everyone became happy when they thought that they only fell one somersault and the Japanese had to fall twice. Yes, then don't worry about how many somersaults you made. The Japanese would just multiply the number of falls you made. Two, who is unhappy?

Stumbling and stumbling, Shang Zhen and his team finally walked farther and farther. They finally reached one side of the gentle hills in the distance, and at this time, they could no longer see Ma Chunzi's group who had gone the other way. People.

"Can you see the village ahead after passing here?" Shang Zhen asked Lu Yifei.

"Yeah." Lu Yifei responded.

But at this moment, Shang Zhen and the others suddenly heard chaotic gunshots coming from the other side of the mound!

Whether the gunfire was far or close to them, Shang Zhen judged that it should be about a mile, or a little more than a mile, but no more.

"Did the fighting start again at the other end of the village? No, did Ma Zhancai and the others really collide with the little devil?" Lu Yifei judged.

Everyone involuntarily stopped their steps and looked at Shang Zhen.

"Are you looking at me? You want to know what's going on? Can't you just take a look?" Shang Zhen said and gave an order, "Follow me and a few people will go up to the soil bag to have a look. The others will stay put!"

This mound just separated Shang Zhen from the side where the gunshots were heard. Shang Zhen and the others really couldn't move forward. If they moved forward, they should be able to find the Japanese army, but the Japanese army could also find them.
