Chapter 1379 The Stupidest Method

The sky is gradually getting dark, but neither the enemy nor we are idle.

Both parties will put themselves into perspective.

The Japanese army did not believe that the few Chinese soldiers on the mountain would not break through tonight, so they naturally had to step up their vigilance.

The Northeast Army soldiers on the mountain were naturally planning a way to break out.

The dozen or so of them had all taken off their leggings, and then they joined together to form a long rope.

To be on the safe side, Chen Hanwen also measured the length of the rope.

"Diao" is the folk measurement unit of length for Northeastern people. The arms are stretched out to the left and right, and the distance from the middle finger of the right hand to the middle finger of the left hand is one Diao.

Each person has two leggings and one plank leg is two meters long, so the total length of the ten of them is about forty meters. With the length of this rope, the steepest hillside is ok, but only with one It’s natural to just want to go down the mountain with just a rope.

Next, Shang Zhen and others took off their clothes, and some of them just wore a pair of trousers. Then they "chila" and "chila" tore the clothes into pieces of cloth a few centimeters wide. The strips formed a rope again.

At this time, in the woods where neither China nor Japan could see, Hou Kanshan and the others were also preparing for battle.

They carefully observed the direction of the lime kiln, where the Japanese troops gathered. According to their observation, there were always hundreds of Japanese troops.

At the same time, they were also observing the situation of the Japanese sentries. If they wanted to launch an attack there, they naturally had to know where the Japanese sentries were placed.

Time passed quickly and night fell. At this time, Shang Zhen and the others on the mountain took action.

Shang Zhen tied one end of the rope made of cloth strips around his waist, and in his hand was the bundle of rope made of leggings.

The other end of the rope formed by the strips of cloth was in the hands of other soldiers. At this time, Shang Zhen was protected by the protective rope around his waist and slowly climbed down the southern hillside.

It is said that it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down, but that still refers to the situation during the day.

It was night now. During the day, the Japanese army tried their best to attack the mountain. So when Shang Zhen couldn't see in the dark, how could he go down the mountain without tying a rope?

He groped down carefully, finding something suitable every few meters, such as a small tree or a sturdy shrub. He stood firm, and then made the leggings in his hand into a rope and tied it to it.

By the time the rope made of leggings was used up, Shang Zhen had already descended more than thirty meters from the top of the mountain.

At this time, he shook the rope tied around his waist, which was made of torn pieces of clothing. The rope around his waist was loosened by the people above, while the soldiers were holding on to it. The rope made of leggings on the hillside slowly climbed down.

To say that this process is naturally not fast, it can even be said to be extremely slow.

But what does it matter? Shang Zhen and the others started moving downwards as soon as it got dark. This is in line with an old saying that people in the Northeast say when working - don't be afraid of going slow, be afraid of standing still.

That means that if you want to do any kind of work, you can't just do it with enthusiasm for the first three minutes. If you are tired, you won't be able to walk.

After working for three minutes, all my strength was gone. I spent the rest of the time just looking at what kind of work I could finish.

On the contrary, it is better to do it slowly from the beginning without getting tired, and just rely on time, and you will get the job done.

There are ups and downs from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and the slope is more than a hundred meters long.

Starting from dark and walking down a rope distance, even if it takes two hours, they can reach the bottom of the mountain silently by swinging the rope back and forth.

In fact, it took them less than two hours to tie a section of rope.

But when Shang Zhen reached a certain point on the hillside, he whispered and passed the words up. It turned out that the most difficult part of the walk had arrived.

The slope Shang Zhen chose to go down was originally the steepest among the slopes, with an inclination of almost 70 or 80 degrees, which was barely even close to being vertical between the mountain and the ground.

But this is also the reason why Shang Zhen chose this place to go down the mountain.

Because the hillside here is the steepest, the Japanese army did not believe that they could come down from here, so based on Shang Zhen's observations during the day, the Japanese army only placed two sentries on this end.

Pulled by the soldiers above with ropes, Shang Zhen still climbed down facing the mountain carefully.

And just like before, whenever he climbed down a few meters, he would tie the rope made of leggings in his hand to the roots of the shrubs in the mountain.

When he arrived here, Shang Zhen couldn't help but sigh at the tenacity of vitality. As long as there are cracks and soil in the mountain, bushes can always pop up.

But just as Shang Zhen descended from the almost vertical hillside to the middle, he suddenly heard a "boom" from the west!

And at this sound, Shang Zhen, who was about to make a move, turned around and pressed his body tightly against the rock wall.

As a veteran, how could he not know what the "boom" made by the old Japanese army meant?

Sure enough, after a while, a flare illuminated the top of the mountain.

The Japanese army was afraid that Shang Zhen and the others would take advantage of the darkness to escape, so they fired a flare not long after it got dark.

In fact, the Japanese army did not believe that this group of Northeastern troops on the mountain would flee as soon as it got dark.

After all, whoever wants to escape will always take action at midnight or late at night when the Imperial Japanese Army is most sleepy.

Therefore, the flare fired by the Japanese army had a deterrent effect, which meant that you should not run away! We can watch if you run away, but you should just stay on the mountain!

It's just that the Japanese army didn't expect that Shang Zhen and the others would actually take action right now, but the direction they chose to go down the mountain was the steepest side.

To say that the Japanese bomb was fired, it was really just a little bit above the mountain.

Precisely because of this deviation, the flare did not hit Shang Zhen and the others. Shang Zhen and the others were all hiding in the dark shadow of the mountain.

Even so, the dozen or so soldiers all pressed their bodies against the mountain wall, looking at the bright night sky, thinking that the little devils here should not find us!

So a scene like this happened.

The Japanese army's lighting illuminated that side of the mountain and even the top of the mountain, which was completely bright. However, on the dark side of the mountain that the bombs could not reach, there were about a dozen Chinese soldiers clinging to the mountain wall. .

They were all very quiet, like geckos clinging to the wall on a summer night, and each of them was like a painting on the wall.

The Japanese flare naturally fell downward after reaching its highest point, but it streaked across the night sky from above Shang Zhen and the others, and finally returned to darkness.

In the darkness, everyone heard their companions sighing quietly in relief on the side of the mountain where they were hiding.

Then the Japanese army did not fire up the flare again. Therefore, the flare fired by the Japanese army should only be regarded as a reassurance for the Japanese army!

Seeing that the flares were no longer rising, Shang Zhen started to move again.

Shang Zhen was slow to explore the road, and the people above were naturally slow to come down. However, they used the stupidest method to move a dozen of them to the foot of the mountain in order to break out.

But what Shang Zhen didn't know was that just outside a forest, three soldiers were carefully crawling towards the enemy's position, and not far behind them, there were also twenty or thirty Chinese soldiers crawling behind them. go ahead.

It turns out that in order to rescue Shang Zhen and the others from the mountain peak, Hou Kanshan and the others also adopted the stupidest method.

Shang Zhen's method was to go down the mountain like a snail, while Hou Kanshan's method was to climb up like a snail.

We are all veterans. If we want to escape from the encirclement, we should not be in a hurry. The night is long anyway, so we can launch an attack at midnight or later in the night. Besides, what else do we want?
