Chapter 1227 Japanese Cavalry Knocked Out (1)
The Japanese army came faster than expected, and as Shang Zhen expected, what caught up was a small group of Japanese cavalry.
Shang Zhen on the hill saw at least three groups of Japanese cavalry, each containing about ten Japanese soldiers. It seemed that the Japanese army was really looking for the 680th Regiment.
Shang Zhen glanced around at the soldiers following him. Seeing that the soldiers were calm, he did not ask "Are you afraid?"
As soon as he looked at the age of these soldiers, he knew that they must all be veterans. After all, they had been soldiers since around September 18th.
If you have been a soldier for eight years, even if you fight the Japanese once a year, you have fought eight battles. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to ask soldiers who have been fighting for eight years if they are afraid?
What's more, these soldiers are soldiers of the guard company. No matter how they can serve as soldiers in the guard company, they can't be the worst soldiers in the entire brigade.
"Someone is coming to our place." A soldier named Wang Wenxiao whispered. Then he glanced at Shang Zhen and finally asked hesitantly, "Company commander, shall we fight?"
"What do you think?" Shang Zhen asked with a smile, and gave Wang Wenxiao a thoughtful look, so Wang Wenxiao felt a fever on his face.
"Which of you can't shoot very accurately?" Shang Zhen asked, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were trotting over on horseback.
None of the nine soldiers in his group expected that Shang Zhen would ask such a question, so they were all stunned.
Shang Zhen's rifle was loaded with bullets, but he was loading the wooden box into his twenty-gun gun again.
Seeing that the soldiers didn't reply, he laughed dumbly. Then he realized that he asked the question to make it difficult for the soldiers to answer, so he hurriedly explained: "Load the bullets. The gun is next to me. I asked him to Look at how I beat the Japanese. If I hit the target accurately or not, I should limit it to 100 meters."
"Oh." When Shang Zhen said this, the soldiers' eyes lit up. Of course they knew that Shang Zhen was very good at fighting.
"I, I'm not sure." A soldier spoke.
"The gun, the gun is not accurate?" A soldier next to him answered.
"No, no, just nervous." The soldier replied.
"Liu Jinchuan, can you die if you don't laugh at Zheng Laoshi?" The third soldier spoke, and as soon as the third soldier spoke, the soldier who answered fell silent.
"Give me the gun." Shang Zhen ignored the soldiers and asked for a gun from Zheng Laoshi. Zheng Laoshi handed over his own rifle with a look of shame on his face.
Shang Zhen saw that the gun was also a Type 38 rifle, but it looked a bit old.
This gun should not be a trophy, but should have been used by Mr. Zheng a long time ago. Shang Zhen heard Mr. Wang say that before the September 18th Incident, the Northeast Army bought a batch of three-gun weapons from the Japanese. Type 8 rifle.
The situation at that time was that the three northeastern provinces belonged to the Japanese sphere of influence. The young marshal's father, Marshal Zhang, had both cooperated and secretly competed with the Japanese, so it was not unusual to buy guns from the Japanese.
Another soldier handed over the rifle, but he also felt embarrassed and explained: "I think my shooting skills are pretty good, but I can't compare with our company commander.
Besides, the little devil is still riding a horse. If I shoot the bullet away, he will run away. "
"Stop saying a few words, the Japanese are coming." Shang Zhen spoke, took the second rifle, put it on his shoulder and put it down after a gesture.
The soldiers wondered why Shang Zhen wanted two more rifles when he already had one. They probably wanted the rifle to shoot accurately, and then picked it up and fired without having to pull the bolt.
"There are a total of eleven little Japs here, pick the ones closest to you and beat them, and leave the rest to me." Shang Zhen ordered.
The soldiers with guns in their hands began to aim their guns. Zheng Laoshi had no gun in his hand, so he could only lie there and look at Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen had three rifles in front of him, all the bullets were loaded, and the safety guards were on. None moved.
In fact, Zheng Laoshi knew Shang Zhen because he was a veteran. He had been a soldier in the guard company when Liu Chengyi was still the regiment leader. He had heard about Shang Zhen shooting the windmill that day, and even a few years ago. He also saw Shang Zhen from a distance.
Zheng Laoshi's real name is Zheng Liben. He has such an honest character. In his eyes, Shang Zhen is a god-level figure. So what soldier dares to deliberately open fire at the regiment headquarters?
But now, Shang Zhen was in front of him, and he looked at him with eyes that worshiped the gods.
Shang Zhen didn't care what Zheng Laoshi thought of him. He had seen a lot of soldiers. Soldiers were also crowds. Crowds were all like this. Some were pushy and quick, some were mature and steady, and some were honest and accepted. This was the norm.
But in Shang Zhen's view, as long as he doesn't put down his gun and give up resistance now, he is a good soldier!
The Japanese cavalry was getting closer and closer, but it was from the gap between the hill occupied by Ben Shangzhen and the woods next to it.
"Lower your heads, there's no need for the dozen or so little devils to be so nervous." Shang Zhen didn't put the cannon on his shoulders.
If he was shooting, even if he was lying down, his head and shoulders would have to be exposed. If it was a large Japanese army, Shang Zhen would have fired long ago, but there were only eleven Japanese soldiers in total, so he would not be able to face a powerful enemy.
At this point, Shang Zhen simply put his head back, but he didn't even look at the Japanese cavalry that was getting closer and closer.
"Are you nervous?" The sound of the Japanese horse's hooves could be heard, but this time Shang Zhen tilted his head and asked Zheng Laoshi, who was watching him from the side.
"I'm not nervous." Zheng Laoshi surprisingly didn't stutter.
To be precise, Zheng Liben didn't stutter, he only stuttered when he was nervous.
Shang Zhen laughed, and then suddenly he stood up and put the box cannon on his shoulder and shouted: "Hit!"
Just as Shang Zhen shouted, the remaining seven soldiers felt their heads buzzing, and instinctively appeared and started shooting. As for their minds, which were already blank, let's take down the little devil first. Does it matter whether he is a human or a horse?
This was a small-scale battle. It took half an hour to fight but only lasted less than a minute.
How could this small group of Japanese troops have imagined that someone would ambush them just over fifty meters away from them, and the firepower of the people ambushing them would be so strong!
Those seven soldiers were shooting platoon guns, and they all used rifles. When one platoon gun passed by, four of the eleven Japanese soldiers fell.
And at this distance, it was not easy for Shang Zhen to hit the Japanese army with a box cannon.
After another short burst of rapid fire, four more Japanese cavalrymen were knocked down by Shang Zhen.
There were three Japanese soldiers left. When they saw that the situation was not good, they turned their horses and ran away.
In fact, cavalrymen riding horses are just like drivers holding the steering wheel and driving. When a car accident is about to happen, a person's first reaction must be to turn instead of slamming on the brakes.
The three Japanese soldiers turned their horses and ran away to the nearby woods. But at this time, Shang Zhen didn't even take his rifle, and there were several more "pop" and "pop" gunshots from the box cannon. Then two more Japanese soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.
When Shang Zhen was about to hit the last Japanese soldier, suddenly Zheng Lao shouted next to him: "Those who fell from the horse are still alive!"
Shang Zhen looked down and saw that there was something wrong. There was a Japanese soldier hiding behind a downed war horse and setting up his rifle.
When Shang Zhen saw the other party, he pointed the muzzle of his gun at him. After a short shot of "papapapa", the Japanese soldier lay on the horse and became motionless.
The Japanese army came to search for the whereabouts of the Northeast Army, and their horses were not very fast.
Because the horse was not very fast, the Japanese soldier did not fall after falling off the horse. He had the opportunity to draw his horse rifle and raise his gun to fight back, but he was discovered by Zheng Laoshi, who had no gun in his hand.
Shang Zhen killed the Japanese soldier, but when he looked up at the last Japanese soldier, he saw that the Japanese soldier was already lying on his horse and rushing into the woods next to him.
It was too late to shoot again.
"Don't fight randomly, there are our people there." Colonel Wang Wen warned.
He looked at Shang Zhen again and saw that Shang Zhen no longer paid attention to the escaping Japanese soldier, but began to replenish the Japanese soldier who fell on the ground.
