Chapter 1771 Shang Zhen Is Here! (I)
Shang Zhen just looked at Ma Erhuzi who closed his eyes, ignoring his surroundings.
The veterans around him looked at him with some worry, because Shang Zhen had not said anything for a while.
However, this kind of time was only a relative concept, not a long time. After all, this place was not safe now. If they considered it from the perspective of fighting, they should retreat after collecting the spoils.
At this time, even if they stayed here for one more minute, they would be in danger for one more minute.
Shen Mugen, who came with Shang Zhen, wanted to go forward to comfort his battalion commander, but was silently stopped by Qian Chuan'er.
The veterans and Shang Zhen were brothers who shared life and death, but even if they were brothers who shared life and death, it was still different.
For example, Qian Chuan'er must know Shang Zhen better than Shen Mugen, and Qian Chuan'er also knew that his relationship with Shang Zhen was one level lower than that between Shang Zhen and Ma Erhuzi.
Shang Zhen's second brother Li Fushun died in battle shortly after the September 18th Incident. Before he died, he entrusted Ma Erhuzi, who had a good relationship with him, to take care of Shang Zhen.
Although Shang Zhen no longer needs Ma Erhuzi's care as he grows up, Ma Erhuzi still thinks Shang Zhen is his brother.
What does this situation look like?
It's like parents taking care of their children. The children have grown up and are more capable than their parents, and they don't even need their parents' care. But don't parents worry about their children?
It is precisely because of this relationship that Qian Chuan'er knows that the death of Ma Erhuzi in Shang Zhen's heart is different from the death of others, so he doesn't let Shen Mugen go forward.
Yes, there are wolves around them now.
But now Ma Erhuzi has died, whether it's Qian Chuan'er or Qin Chuan, these veterans who followed Shang Zhen, they are willing to take such risks with Shang Zhen, because Ma Erhuzi is also their brother.
No one knows what Shang Zhen is thinking.
But Shang Zhen's recovery to normal is much shorter than Qian Chuan'er imagined.
When Shang Zhen looked up, he issued a new order: "Shen Mugen, you and Shunzi go outside the town and bring Cheng Peng and Liu Keqiang to me. We want to avenge Brother Huzi!
You let Chu Tian's company be responsible for containing the possible arrival of the Japanese brigade.
The rest of the people all withdraw from here and try to block every alley entrance in this area. Put one or two people at any exit.
If you find someone running out of this area, you shoot them to scare them back.
The purpose of this method is one word-delay, delay the group of Japanese devils who shot at Brother Huzi, and when our people come, we will try to eliminate this group of Japanese devils here.
Okay, let's act separately."
Who would have thought that Shang Zhen would give such a lengthy order? The veterans looked at each other and immediately acted separately.
First, this was the order of the battalion commander. Second, they also wanted to avenge Ma Erhuzi.
From the perspective of combat, Shang Zhen's order was a bit complicated, but Shang Zhen also explained the reason for doing so very clearly, and the veterans had no doubts.
The veterans understood how difficult it was for one or two people to block an exit, but Shang Zhen also said that the key was the word "delay". As long as the murderers were not allowed to escape from here, it would be easy to deal with them when the two companies arrived.
When Qian Chuan'er got up and was about to leave, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he asked Shang Zhen: "Battalion Commander, what about you?"
"I'll stay in this area, I have to attract the group of Japanese devils." Shang Zhen replied.
Qian Chuan'er looked at Shang Zhen with some worry.
Because he knew Shang Zhen too well, he knew Shang Zhen's temper and Shang Zhen's ability, so he didn't say anything in the end and left quietly.
Soon, all the veterans disappeared in different alleys.
At this time, Shang Zhen, holding the bag of ammunition he had seized, had already entered the alley where they had come from.
But he stopped just a little bit into the alley.
Then in this area, Shang Zhen's angry shout suddenly came: "Little devils! What's the point of shooting at my brother? If you have the guts, come at me! Shang Zhen is here!"
Shang Zhen's shout was very loud, as if he had used up all his strength. He even felt his head buzzing. How could the sound be small?
But the chaos in Shuiquan Town had entered a brief calm at this time.
Chen Laocai's village was not attacked because the Japanese army that had originally fired at Chen Laocai had taken advantage first, but now suffered a loss.
The reason was of course that Da Laoben and Bian Xiaolong had taken action.
Other places in the town were not attacked because the village protection team members had hidden as much as they could, and those who could not hide were basically killed by the Japanese army.
So Shang Zhen's voice was heard far away.
The people who stayed in the town were hiding in their homes. They had long been afraid of the gunshots outside. As for what people outside were shouting, they didn't care, not to mention that they might not be able to hear clearly in the house.
However, Shang Zhen's shouting was definitely not for the people to hear. As for what other people would do if they heard it, Shang Zhen himself didn't know.
But was Shang Zhen really just venting his inner anger by doing this?
The answer is no.
After Shang Zhen finished shouting this sentence, he moved, but ran into the alley.
While running, he was also observing the houses and courtyards on both sides.
At least from his current movements and expressions, he did not show any anger at all, as if the almost hysterical shout just now was not from the same person at all!
The alley was very long, and there were other intersections in the middle.
But Shang Zhen only ran a few dozen meters before he stopped.
He stopped in front of a door, and after looking at it for a moment, he retreated with the high wall of that house as his target.
The high wall of this house was made of stone.
Stone is not brick after all, and the stone is not a cut stone.
It is just piled up according to the shape of the stone, just like a game called Tetris, just fill the concave square with protruding stones, and then smear the soil between the stone cracks.
The courtyard wall of this family must have been built a long time ago. A lot of dust has fallen off, revealing the gaps between the stones.
After a while, Shang Zhen accelerated and touched his toes on a gap in the stone. He stretched out his hand and climbed up the stone.
He used his hands and feet together, and in just a moment, he climbed to the top of the wall of the house and jumped down.
In a moment, the alley became empty, and only the main street where Shang Zhen left before had these bodies.
Li Laoshi, Ma Erhuzi, and several Japanese puppet soldiers.
All the dead had large pools of blood flowing under their bodies.
It was already summer, and many big green-headed flies began to buzz around them and landed.
As the saying goes, "A tragedy for humans is a carnival for animals."
Who would have thought that the peaceful and quiet town in the morning would become like a Shura battlefield due to the bloody smell? Or it could be said that it was just as quiet now, but now it is called deathly silence!
