Chapter 1259 Escape in the Dark

After dark, Shang Zhen returned to the village. To his surprise, there were villagers waiting at the entrance of the village.

When Shang Zhen answered the villagers' questions, he could hear the joy in the villagers' voices when they recognized that it was him. It seemed that the villagers had vaguely regarded him as their backbone.

And when he briefly introduced the situation he had obtained from the investigation, expressed his thoughts and put forward his own opinions, the villagers quickly reached an agreement after a brief discussion.

That is, the village should be abandoned first. Everyone in the village should follow Shang Zhen and leave the village in the dark to avoid the surrounding Japanese troops.

At this time, in the night, Shang Zhen laughed silently.

It is undeniable that Shang Zhen is a very smart person, but generally speaking, a smart person is a person with complex thoughts, and a person with complex thoughts often complicates simple problems.

For example, Shang Zhen's previous worry that the people would not leave the village was a bit unfounded. The villagers were not so unreasonable.

Now that an agreement has been reached, the next thing will fall into place.

Shang Zhen and two villagers who volunteered walked in front, acting as pioneers, and then the whole village followed.

And those two villagers were Xiaojiu's two brothers.

They were familiar with the conditions in the surrounding mountains. They would lead the way out of the village and around the Japanese blockade. And Shang Zhen can provide them with protection.

It's just that villagers are villagers after all. When the township organized these villagers and walked out of the village, it was already two hours later.

After all, there are still old people and children here, as well as babies being suckled in women's arms.

Fortunately, the fear of death has become an invisible discipline in the minds of all villagers, although many of them may not know what discipline is.

At this time, Shang Zhenzhen said that this was a march he had never experienced before.

There were stars in the sky, and there was a lot of noise on the ground, but they were walking very slowly. He had never led the people on such a march.

Naturally, such a team would not move fast, not to mention that after Xiaojiu's brothers led Shang Zhen out of the village, they turned around and quickly stepped on the fine sand.

The slight rustling sound when stepping on the fine sand is even more negligible.

But at this moment, a baby's cry of "Wow" suddenly came out from the people behind.

This cry came so suddenly and loudly, making everyone tremble in the silent night.

This is so scary!

And Shang Zhen knew that he could not go back to take care of the child, so he instinctively turned the safety on the gun in his hand and pointed it into the darkness ahead.

At this time, the villagers' muffled voices came from behind. The voices were nothing more than "Hurry up and hold the child back." "Why is the child still crying?" "Hurry and feed the child." Yeah" and so on.

After a while, the child stopped crying, and Shang Zhen guessed that it was because the child had received his mother's milk.

Alas, is it easy for a mother to raise a child? Shang Zhen sighed silently and then thought, fortunately, just after leaving the village, the little devil probably won't arrange anyone here!

It is said that there are many unknowns in life, and there are also many unknowns in battle. Since sometimes it is beyond human control, you can leave your destiny to God.

The team moved forward again, still in the waterless river.

Shang Zhen guessed that it was a river created by the summer rains, and the water flowing down from the surrounding mountains collected in the low-lying areas. However, there was little rain this year, so there was no water in the river.

But there was no way that the Japanese army would ambush at this river. Shang Zhen followed Xiaojiu's brothers while walking while imagining the situation of the Japanese army ambush.

What is certain is that the Japanese army never dreamed that the villagers would kill the killers they sent, and then the villagers would take advantage of the darkness and familiarity with the terrain to go out.

As a soldier, Shang Zhen followed Xiaojiu's brothers outside while imagining the Japanese ambush.

Shang Zhen had been dealing with the Japanese army for a long time. In the afternoon, he noticed that the Japanese army was camouflaged. Those Japanese soldiers who were ambushing on the hillside would definitely be hiding in the woods and shrubs. Who would wear camouflage clothes and lie down in a river without water? Up?

What's more, it's dark now and the Japanese soldiers don't need to hide.

I hope that along this river, which is currently dry, the villagers can safely get out of the Japanese ambush!

The village is three to four hundred meters away from the hills surrounding it.

So even though their fleeing team walked slowly, more than half an hour later, Shang Zhen still saw the black shadow of the mountain under the starlight.

In later generations, a thermal imaging camera using ultraviolet light was used in the military. Although it could not make the night transparent, it could eventually detect the heat source.

But in terms of current wars, if the Japanese army did not use flares, who knows what would happen in the dark?

The dark night has become the best curtain to shield the sight of both the enemy and ourselves.

Under the dark night, people with high moral character are doing good things, while those with less good character are doing some shady things. However, in the dark night, it is extremely fair, and it does not care about the world. good and evil.

When approaching the mountain ahead, Shang Zhen became more and more cautious. He didn't know what the Japanese troops on the mountain were doing.

During the day. It seems that those mountains are not high, but at this time they are very tall and dark.

If birds and beasts were hidden on this mountain in the past, today the mountain is hiding man-eating wolves.

I don’t know if the jackal on the mountain is sleeping at this time, or if he is staring at the village with his blue eyes and thinking about eating the people in the village.

Thinking of the jackal, Shang Zhen became worried and even more focused.

Fortunately for him, one of Xiaojiu's brothers gave him a gentle tug, signaling him to turn a corner.

In the dark night, the white river bed shows a faint color, like a gray belt.

When they came out, Shang Zhen had already asked the villagers in detail about the route they were going to take. They just walked along this river that had no water and only sand.

Shang Zhen agreed with this. The river was between two mountains, and there would be no sound when people walked on the fine sand that was finer than ground white flour.

He also didn't believe that this group of Japanese soldiers who were good at hiding their traces would hide under the fine sand. After all, this is a river. There is fine sand but no water on it, but it doesn't mean there is no water below. There is no way I could hide under the sand in the middle of the night.

According to villagers, the terrain on both sides of the river is relatively flat, and the hills closest to both sides are 60 to 70 meters each.

Thinking about the situation, if Shang Zhen was the Japanese army, he would not set up a guard post on the river. He should place it on the commanding heights.

Even so, when Shang Zhen walked between the two mountains, he whispered a few words to one of Xiaojiu's brothers and then stepped aside.

Who told him to ask for trouble and have to take care of these common people whom he had never met? Then when crossing the Japanese blockade, he naturally had to stay and break up the rear.

The villagers walked behind Shang Zhen, and Shang Zhen put his box cannon on his shoulder and faced the dark mountain shadow in front of him. At this moment, Shang Zhen was undoubtedly silent and focused, as if he belonged to this village. Patronus.
