The War of Resistance

"Could it be that the Japanese have our intelligence and plan to ambush our troops here?" Lu Yifei felt that Shang Zhen's question was reasonable, so he followed up with analysis.

"No." Shang Zhen shook his head, "If the Japs ambush our troops, do you think they will only send a heavy machine gun squad?"

When Shang Zhen said this, veterans like Lu Yifei and Lao Qiuzi nodded.

What is a heavy machine gun? Heavy machine guns are covering fire, used to cover troops charging upwards or to directly block the opponent's charge. Whether it is offensive or defensive, they will only be placed behind their own troops.

After all, heavy machine guns have a long range, and they have never heard of heavy machine guns acting alone as combat units.

For example, the elite Japanese team they killed were all carrying sniper rifles.

For example, those who chased them yesterday were Japanese cavalry. Who had ever seen a small group of people running all over the mountains and fields carrying a heavy machine gun weighing more than 100 kilograms?

Shang Zhen and the others were puzzled, and at this time the Japanese army was already approaching.

"Is this a fight or not? The little devil is here." Ma Erpao became anxious.

"What's the rush? It's easy to beat them." Shang Zhen responded.

"What?" Several veterans didn't believe their ears.

Although they had not been together with Shang Zhen for a long time, there was a process for them to get to know Shang Zhen.

They first called Shang Zhen "Northeastern guy" because of the native humor of the Northeastern people.

But when Shang Zhen actually became their commander, they discovered that Shang Zhen's initially funny behavior was just needed to make a living. In fact, Shang Zhen was a calm man who talked little.

But now, Shang Zhen actually said that it would be easy to defeat a Japanese army with a similar strength to their own. If someone else had said that, they would have said, "You are bragging." But these words came from Shang Zhen's mouth. To put it bluntly, this is not his usual style!

"See how many meters are left?" Shang Zhen asked again.

"There are still about three hundred meters." Ma Chuncai, who had been lying behind the edge of the hill to watch, replied.

"I'm on a rush." ​​Shang Zhen replied, but he still had a pensive expression.

The veterans looked at each other in confusion, and they didn't know what to say. Although they chose to believe Shang Zhen, they were thinking in their hearts, sir, are you asking too much this time?

But at this moment, all of them suddenly heard a "pop" gunshot from the direction behind them!

The sound of the gunshot was so clear. Although the sound was not coming from them, the sound of the gunshot was never far away!

It is important to point out here that the gunshots coming from behind them were actually from the west rather than the east. The reason is that except for observing the Japanese soldiers, the rest of them were leaning on the hillside to talk.

Everyone subconsciously clenched their guns and turned back to lie on the edge.

"Don't move, all of you!" Shang Zhen stopped them directly, "Get out of here, haha? Let the Japs see you again!"

Then Shang Zhen himself turned around and exposed his head from behind the ridge to look into the distance.

But at this moment, the gunshot was no longer just the "pop", but a series of dense gunshots, but they were all rifle shots.

What does this process look like? This process is like lighting a whip. At first, only a few small whips were blown up, but then the sound started to explode!

"This is right!" Shang Zhen muttered to himself as he looked ahead.

Judging from Shang Zhen's experience, the place where the gunfire rang out was behind the woods ahead, and it should be that the Chinese and Japanese sides began to shoot at each other.

But because the woods were blocking their view, they couldn't see anything.

And this also explains why the Japanese army set up the heavy machine gun position on the hill where they are now.

If China and Japan are shooting at each other, then the Chinese defenders must be in the south. The Chinese defenders' position is behind the woods and less than two miles away from here.

Shang Zhen had never used the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Japanese army, but he estimated that the effective range of this heavy machine gun was unlikely to exceed one thousand meters.

But that's not right. The woods in front of us are more than a mile away from here. Could it be that the bullets from the Japs' heavy machine guns can penetrate the woods?

Not likely.

Although the bullets of heavy machine guns are slightly thicker than those of rifles and can penetrate trees, if they really fly 700 to 800 meters, the bullets will not have much power. Is this kid's heavy machine gun still capable? Can the woods on the side and front of the Chinese defenders be mowed like grass?

Forget it, stop thinking so much, we have to kill this group of devils who are coming!

Shang Zhen took another look at the approaching Japanese army and retracted his head.

This time he turned over again and leaned against the slope of the hill, and he saw that most of the soldiers, except for a few two, were looking ahead, and the rest were staring with big eyes. Looking at myself.

Of course Shang Zhen understood what the soldiers were thinking, so he opened his mouth and said: "This group of little devils are easy to eliminate. I'm not bragging.

They are just teaming up with heavy machine guns. In addition to shooters and ammunition, they carry various oils, cans, etc. Even if they also bring some rifles, how many guns do you think they have? "

After saying this, Shang Zhen closed his mouth and looked at the soldiers.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then expressions of excitement appeared on their faces. The old man almost screamed, and even stretched out his hand to cover his mouth in an exaggerated manner.

That's right, the kid is in the heavy machine gun class. Why do you carry a rifle when you have a heavy machine gun? But this heavy machine gun has to be set up to be useful. If it can’t be set up, it’s just scrap metal!

What is fat served to your mouth? This is fat served to your mouth!

"So, everyone listens to the order!" Shang Zhen's face became solemn.

The emotions and expressions between people are contagious, not to mention that Shang Zhen is their commander.

When Shang Zhen became serious, he was about to issue a battle order. As for the phrase "everyone obeys the order" he said, I don't know which storyteller he heard it from.

"Put the little devil within fifty meters and shoot him. The first shot should kill at least half of it, and the second shot should kill half of that half!" Shang Zhen ordered.

The soldiers all said "yes", and some of the recruits' hands holding the guns became a little shaky. I don't know whether it was excitement, nervousness, or both.

"It's too close. What if the little Japanese fights with us on the bayonet?" Li Da Ming finally asked worriedly.

When Li Da understood that, the other veterans glanced at him with dissatisfaction, but now that Shang Zhen was here, they couldn't say anything.

"First, we still have three box cannons. We have the magazines ready, and when they are all fired, press them in.

So what if the little devil is so good at fighting with a bayonet? It shouldn't be a problem for three box cannons to kill ten bayonets.

Even if there are still those who fight with bayonets, don’t be afraid. We don’t fight the Japanese once or twice anymore. What’s that called? Group fight, yes, group fight the remaining little devils to death! "Shang Zhen spoke very logically, and after he finished speaking, there was a cold smile on his face, which was his disdain for the invaders!
