Chapter 1865 Underwater Escape (Part 2)

"Why don't you shoot?" Cheng Peng asked Qiao Youzi at the waterside below the hill.

Qiao Youzi was the only soldier who rushed down the hill with Cheng Peng. As for the other soldiers, except for a few soldiers who were knocked down on the slope by the Japanese heavy machine guns, the rest ran back to the back of the hill.

When Cheng Peng rushed to the waterside below the hill with Qiao Youzi and Xiao Dan'er, they soon found that the Japanese soldiers on the opposite bank were shooting into the water.

Qiao Youzi had seen Shang Zhen and the puppet army commander and others coming down to the middle of the hill.

So no matter whether the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side of the water bubble were shooting at Shang Zhen or not, Cheng Peng couldn't let the Japanese soldiers do what they wanted!

So he asked Qiao Youzi to shoot at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite bank with a rifle.

The inner and outer slopes of this circular hill are similar, both long and gentle, so the two sides of the hill are more than a thousand meters apart, but the two slopes at the waterside, the width of the water is less than 400 meters.

Cheng Peng couldn't reach him without a rifle or a box gun, so wouldn't Qiaoyouzi have to shoot him face to face with a rifle?

As for Xiaodan'er, there were four of them. Xiaodan'er also used a box gun, which was not very useful at the moment. The remaining three puppet soldiers followed Qiaoyouzi and shot at the opposite side.

Cheng Peng guessed that the Japanese army shot at Shang Zhen, and Xiaodan'er also suspected that the Japanese army also shot his brother?

Of course, the guns used by these three puppet soldiers were really not good. When they fired, they made a "boom" and "boom" sound, just like firing blanks, but it was still a gunshot, right? As the saying goes, "If you have money, you can make money noise, and if you don't have money, why don't you make a show of yourself"?

Cheng Peng and his men fired at the waterside under the hill, and the Northeast Army and puppet troops who were hiding behind the hill naturally heard it.

Similarly, they couldn't shoot at the Japanese, but firing a few shots could always attract the Japanese firepower, right?

So, this battle to attract the Japanese firepower was fought in this way.

What's more, Qiao Youzi really knocked down a Japanese soldier with the first shot.

"Captain, I'm out of bullets." Qiao Youzi replied in embarrassment when Cheng Peng asked.

Qiao Youzi really ran out of bullets.

When their class was with Shang Zhen before, he used up some of his bullets when they were restraining the Japanese to support Shang Zhen, and then he was chased by the Japanese and naturally turned back to fight back and used some more, plus the one he just shot, he finally used up all the bullets in his rifle.

Cheng Peng frowned when he heard that Qiao Youzi ran out of bullets.

He first glanced back at the hill behind him, because he couldn't expect the people on it to send bullets down.

The Japanese heavy machine guns were hitting the top of the hill with dust flying, not to mention that his people would definitely be exposed to the firepower of the Japanese army on the opposite side of the water if they came down from the hill, and with the Japanese army's shooting skills, his people would still suffer casualties.

Cheng Peng looked at the three puppet soldiers next to him who were using rifles.

This didn't work either. The three puppet soldiers were all using old barrels, and the caliber of the bullets was different from that of the Type 38 rifle used by Qiao Youzi. No matter how many bullets they had, it was useless!

Cheng Peng was looking at the puppet soldiers. They knew that if they shot at the Japanese army, it would be like setting off firecrackers. It would only make a noise, so what effect would it have? So the three puppet soldiers stopped shooting at the same time.

At this time, it was the interval between the Japanese heavy machine guns shooting, and the world became less "noisy" for a while.

But at this moment, Cheng Peng suddenly heard the sound of "pa pa pa". He subconsciously looked forward again, but all he saw was the green reeds and the white water.

Cheng Peng looked at Qiao Youzi again, and Qiao Youzi also looked at him. There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of both of them.

"The gunshot? Box gun, right?" Qiaoyouzi said uncertainly.

"It seems to be quite close! It seems to be over there." Xiaodaner also came over and pointed forward.

What do you mean by the gunshot seems to be quite close? If there is a gunshot 50 meters away from them, and there is a gunshot 200 meters away from them, let alone them, even ordinary people can hear it!

But at this time, they all looked in the direction pointed by Xiaodaner, but they only saw dense reeds.

"Don't shoot first, let's take a look." Cheng Peng said.

Several people stretched their necks to look at the reeds in front of them, which was only more than 40 meters away from them, completely ignoring the fact that the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army on the opposite side were "dong dong dong" and "dong dong dong" again.

Now Cheng Peng and his team were hiding behind a small patch of reeds, so they were not worried that the Japanese army on the other side of the water would find them. As for the Japanese heavy machine guns, they used the hill as a target for shooting. After all, the Japanese army opened fire only after they found that a large group of Chinese soldiers and puppet troops were about to come down from the hill.

Cheng Peng and his team watched intently for a while, but did not find anything unusual, so a puppet soldier whispered, "No, did you hear it wrong?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, they heard a "splash" of water, and they saw a head suddenly sticking out of the water beside the reeds!

The man was not wearing a hat, and the water slid down his head.

But just when the man reached out and wiped his head, Cheng Peng and Qiao Youzi shouted in surprise, "Battalion Commander!"

Battalion Commander, who is the battalion commander? Isn't that Shang Zhen?

At this time, Shang Zhen, who had wiped the water off his face, was stunned when he saw Cheng Peng on the shore, then he grinned and said an exclamation that any Chinese would say: "Oh my God!"

This journey was difficult, but Shang Zhen finally reunited with his own people!

It turned out that after the first breath, Shang Zhen, with his sharp personality, how could he swim directly to this side in the water?

He was neither good nor bad at swimming, but no matter how good or bad, it was not enough for him to hold his breath and swim more than 100 meters underwater.

So he changed direction underwater and ran to the reeds on his side. He had to find a place to hide and breathe first.

But even if he changed direction in the water, when he dived, he still felt something coming down from the water and falling on his back. He knew it was a bullet!

When Shang Zhen found that he was fine after receiving the slight impact of the bullet, he was sincerely grateful to the scholar in his heart.

The scholar this time does not refer to the half-scholar Chen Hanwen, but to the real scholar Chu Tian among their group.

Because Chu Tian said that after the bullet enters the water from the air, it will lose its power after hitting a depth of more than one meter.

As for why this is the case, Shang Zhen did not understand what Chu Tian said about the "medium".

But Shang Zhen understood that air is a medium, and water is another medium. Bullets that fly very fast in the air will soon lose their power after entering the water.

For this reason, Chu Tian also made an analogy, saying why sandbags are sometimes used for fortifications, and the reason is that sand is another medium compared to air.

The sand must be thick enough, and there is a force of compression and bite between the sand grains.

The sand in the sandbag cannot be filled very solidly, otherwise it may be penetrated by bullets.

Although Shang Zhen and other veterans have experienced many battles, none of them have the experience of being shot underwater, so they are naturally skeptical about Chu Tian's statement.

But today, Shang Zhen gambled with his own life to prove that what Chu Tian said was right. A bullet really cannot fly very far in the water, not more than two meters!
