Chapter 1326 A Little Impatience Can Ruin a Big Plan
At dusk, the company's position was still the same, but the atmosphere in the position had completely changed.
The joy of killing the invader no longer appeared on the faces of the officers and soldiers, and their faces became heavy.
After they successfully calculated against the Japanese army once, they repelled three attacks by small groups of Japanese troops.
In the ensuing battle, although they killed about thirty Japanese soldiers, their company's casualties inevitably appeared. Twenty-one people were killed, and fifteen others were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Even the company commander saw blood on his forehead, which was injured by small rocks blown up by Japanese artillery shells.
It cannot be said that the Chinese officers and soldiers guarding the position did not work hard, nor that they were incapable of calculation, but the enemy's firepower was so powerful that their bravery and strategy could be completely ignored.
What is this called? This is called a crushing of absolute strength!
And this is just because the Japanese army only used artillery in the battle that was just repulsed. If the Japanese army had used artillery at the beginning, then they would either burn with their positions or die because they were unable to fight anymore. Forced to retreat.
"Company commander, can't we call for reinforcements?" A wounded man looked at the company commander and asked in a low voice.
"What the hell is there-" The voice of the company commander, who was also no longer high-spirited, rose sharply but then dropped again. That was because he saw that the soldier under his command had injured his leg due to rubbing the mud. Blood stains that became filthy.
After all, he is the commander of a company. He has to consider the issue of morale. If his brother is injured and refuses to get out of the line of fire, why is he so angry?
So in the end, the company commander could only sigh and said: "If you can, don't call for reinforcements. There are defenses everywhere. Even when our brigade and our troops are fully staffed, they won't be enough!"
When the company commander said this, the soldiers didn't know and were speechless.
If you follow the firecracker temper of Northeastern people, when it comes to saying that you have suffered a loss and been plotted against by others, you will have already started talking in a loud voice to relieve your chest.
However, the Anti-Japanese War has been going on for eight years, and they are the only ones who have become teenagers, and young people have become middle-aged. Although they are full of blood, they are no longer teenagers. They have seen too many things, and they have seen too much. I can't complain anymore.
In this silence, the curtain of night began to slowly open.
At this time, Shang Zhen, Li Qingfeng and Da Laobeng had just come down from the relatively high mountain.
The slope was very steep and almost vertical. Shang Zhen had been observing it all day. At least he knew that there were no Japanese troops in the direction of the steep cliff they were descending from, so they took advantage of the last daylight to descend from the mountain wall.
It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. If Shang Zhen and Li Qingfeng still climbed down from the top with bare hands, it would naturally be slower than climbing the mountain.
The reason is very simple. As long as they are in good physical condition and have strong upper limbs when going up the mountain, there will be a borrowing point on their head. Even if they can only hook their fingers, they can use the strength of their fingers and upper limbs to pull their bodies up.
But they couldn't go down the mountain. It would be much more troublesome for them to find a foothold when they saw that their feet were struggling!
Since Shang Zhen had already thought about the difficulty of going down the mountain, he came out with a rope this time. Before coming down, Shang Zhen tied a knot in the rope at a prominent position on the mountain and hung it on it. Then he and Qingfeng Li went down the rope.
After he got down the steep wall, he grabbed the rope with both hands and shook it vigorously. With only a few clicks, the knot untied and the rope was retracted.
Shang Zhen learned this trick from Bai Zhan.
That was the same situation Bai Zhan would encounter when he was a thief. It is impossible for a thief to climb down from a high place and leave the rope on top.
If something like that really happened, then after Wu Song killed someone, he would have to write "Wu Song, the murderer" on the wall, or like Sun Monkey, who climbed over the Five Elements Mountain and spilled monkey urine and had to write "Monkey King" "Here we go" makes no difference.
"Let's go back." Shang Zhen whispered, and the three of them slowly walked down the hillside under the cover of trees.
Shang Zhen already had his own ideas about what kind of target to attack the Japanese army. They had to go back to meet Wang Laomao and the others.
Now that they were within the range of the Japanese army, they naturally walked very carefully and never spoke.
They first walked around a large hill, then squatted down and looked around. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around them, Shang Zhen whispered, and the old man took the lead into a forest dozens of meters away. Run lightly.
The old man was tall and strong, so he naturally weighed more. But as soon as he started running, Shang Zhen thought of the idiom "A heavy weight seems to be light." His body, which looked like half a black iron tower, seemed clumsy when running, but after landing, There just wasn't much sound.
This is a really talented person!
It's just that the sky has turned dark, and although Big Laoban only ran a few dozen meters, Shang Zhen and the others could no longer see Big Laoban.
But it doesn't matter, the old man must have entered the woods, but there was no strange sound from there, so Shang Zhen and Li Qingfeng also ran towards the woods.
And when Shang Zhen ran into the woods and stopped, he heard the small sound of water in front of him.
There is a small river there. The water is not deep and you can jump across it in some places. This is the way Shang Zhen and the others came, so how could he not remember it?
But just as they were about to continue walking towards the river, the sound of the water suddenly changed.
Shang Zhen waved his hand, and Qingfeng Li and Big Boss behind him all bowed down.
When the three of them listened carefully again, they heard the faint voice of someone speaking, and as soon as the voice reached their ears, they were sure that it was the Japanese army!
Why are there Japanese troops here? Could it be that the hill he just bypassed blocked his sight, so he didn't observe it during the day?
However, Shang Zhen would not retreat at this time. He always wanted to find out the situation, so he slowly moved forward.
And when he poked his head out from a cluster of willows by the river, he saw two figures fetching water with buckets in the increasingly hazy night.
Although the visibility was so low that he couldn't even see the color of their clothes, Shang Zhen only took a look at the heights of the two men and he was sure that they were Japanese soldiers!
Seeing the situation in front of him, the old man clumsily took out the iron chopsticks he had made when he returned from Changsha.
The two Japanese soldiers were very close to them. Shang Zhen and the others were on this side of the river, and the other side was on the other side, more than thirty meters away. With the big boss's ability, if he threw the iron chopsticks out, he should be able to kill them. The opponent is fatal with one blow.
But Shang Zhen immediately reached out and held down the old man's arm, then raised his hand and waved it gently.
What Shang Zhen meant was that he couldn't take action at this time.
Now they have slipped into the gaps between the various Japanese armies.
It was not difficult for the three of them to kill the two Japanese soldiers with their skills, but Shang Zhen had a bigger plan.
He also planned to attack more valuable targets, so how could he let Big Boss make the Japanese disappear for no reason, thereby arousing the Japanese army's vigilance?
This time Shang Zhen and the others were in a different situation than when they were fighting the Japanese.
It turned out that the Japanese troops were relatively scattered, but this time they had been walking for nearly a day when they saw the large Japanese troops approaching. Therefore, the Japanese troops were relatively concentrated in this area, and their space to move around would be very limited.
In Shang Zhen's mind, they should only fight one battle and give the Japanese a resounding "slap", and then quickly retreat to their own positions or fly away.
