Chapter 1982: Get Rid of the "Flare"!
Qian Chuan'er, Hou Kanshan, Shen Mugen, Liu Dongmin, Jiao Feng and a group of people went to the southwest, and that was the only direction they could go if they wanted to knock out the Japanese mortars firing illumination bombs.
The Japanese mortars are in the south. They can see them every time the Japanese flares are raised. But even if they have both "Japanese troops" and "puppet troops", it is best to avoid the Japanese troops on the battlefield. of.
They planned to go into the woods to the southwest and then go around to the south.
"Why are the gunshots in the northwest getting louder and louder?" Qian Chuan'er asked while scanning the open ground vigilantly.
"Who knows, the district team of the Eighth Route Army doesn't seem to have such great abilities." Hou Kanshan replied as he glanced at the Japanese army on the left front like a string of money.
"Isn't it someone from our camp?" Shen Mugen guessed.
When Liu Dongmin, Jiao Feng and the others who were walking together heard what the first few said, new hope rose in their eyes.
They are puppet soldiers anyway. To be honest, everything they did was to save their lives. They resisted the Japanese army to save their lives, so their desire to take the initiative to fight is not that strong. The reason why they are still willing to follow Qian Chuaner and the others now can also be considered that they are He was just returning a favor to Shang Zhenying.
Therefore, in their opinion, it would be best if the battle could not be fought.
As soon as I heard that a large force from Shang Zhen's camp might be coming, there would naturally be a chance to get rid of the Japanese army, and they might not be needed to support Shang Zhen.
Unfortunately, Qian Chuan'er's next words directly shattered their unrealistic thoughts: "Yes, even if our battalion is here, don't you know that the Japanese also have two squadrons of reinforcements?"
Enemy sentiment is the best calming agent. Everyone stopped talking and there was only the rustling sound.
The Japanese army's flares were still shining in the sky. They could see about a dozen Japanese soldiers south of Wujiapo, and they could also see dozens of Japanese soldiers running to the northwest. There must be fierce fighting there, and the Japanese army also went to reinforce Come on.
Fortunately, the Japanese troops were also busy with their own affairs. For a moment, no one noticed that a group of people like them was walking past in a hurry on the edge of the battlefield.
Soon, Qian Chuan'er and the others entered the woods. They turned left and began to adjust their direction of travel.
"If the little Japs who attacked Wujiapo were from a squadron, there should be nothing left in that village now." Qian Chuan'er whispered.
When they were on Wujia Slope, they could see through the telescope that the Japanese army used that village as a command post. On the way, the Japanese army fired another flare, and it turned out that the place where the flare was raised was that small village.
If you calculate it carefully, it is really like this.
Although Shang Zhen's whereabouts are now unknown, the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties during the defense battle of Wujiapo, and the price they paid was not huge.
Hou Kanshan, who was walking at the front, was about to answer the call when he suddenly saw the leaves shaking in front of him and waved his hand quickly. However, before the people behind him could prepare for battle, a man actually came out from under the tree in front of him!
It is late summer now, but the trees here are very dense and not very tall, so there are quite a lot of branches and leaves below.
If you find yourself in a place with dense trees, you won't be able to see anyone even five or six meters away in broad daylight, not to mention that the flares the Japanese army shot into the sky are far away from them after all.
So after the man got out, he saw someone coming from the other side.
Because Qian Chuan'er and his group were large and they were walking in a column, the people behind them hadn't reacted yet, but Hou Kanshan who was walking at the front had already stepped forward to greet them!
"***", I don't know what the person on the other side said, but it was undoubtedly Japanese. Only then did the people behind Qian Chuan'er realize that they had bumped into the Japanese.
But at this time, Hou Kanshan was already face to face with the person, and then the person let out a scream of "ah"!
Only those at the back knew that the Japanese were coming in front, but Hou Kanshan recognized the enemy at a glance.
The reason is that the glow of the flare in the distance shines on the person's head through the gap between the trees. It doesn't matter what color the hat is on the person's head. The reason is that it cannot be seen because the hat on the person's head is buckled. But it's a steel helmet!
It was this Japanese soldier who deserved to die. The helmet would reflect light under the illumination of flares, but it became the best proof of his identity.
The person who reacted slowly at the back was still asking about the situation, but the person who reacted quickly had already "swiped" to the side and started pushing the gun bolt.
At this time, the box cannons in the hands of Jiao Fenghe and Qian Chuan'er and Shen Mugen who were following Hou Kanshan were also on fire.
But when they saw Hou Kanshan hugging the Japanese soldier, the two of them remained motionless!
The three men behind didn't understand what was going on and rushed forward. Jiao Feng put his gun directly on the Japanese soldier's helmet and was about to shoot when Hou Kanshan said: "Don't shoot, he's dead!" "
After finishing speaking, Hou Kanshan moved, and it seemed as if the Japanese soldier hugging him was piled up like a puddle of mud.
Only then did Jiao Fenghe notice that in the light shining through the gap between the trees, he saw Hou Wangshan holding a bayonet in his hand, and the blood groove of the bayonet was dripping with blood!
It turned out that the Japanese soldier coming from the opposite side suffered a loss because he saw the Japanese clothes Hou Kanshan was wearing, but he himself had a steel helmet on.
This Japanese soldier made no distinction between friend and foe, but Hou Kanshan knew what was going on at a glance.
Hou Kanshan would not use his gun, otherwise it would attract the attention of the Japanese army! He just instinctively stretched out his hand and pulled out the bayonet from his waist, then faced the Japanese soldier with his left hand and stabbed him with his right bayonet.
The woods were dark, and the Japanese soldier was unlucky. Not to mention that he did not distinguish that the companion coming from the opposite side was a Chinese soldier in disguise, he did not even see Hou Kanshan draw out his bayonet!
"What's going on?" Liu Dongmin and his men came up from behind, and with their squeeze, the gap in the bushes became a little bigger. The puppet soldiers who formed a circle saw that the Japanese soldier was lying in the mottled light and shadow, and the heart was still bleeding!
It's useless to say a thousand or ten thousand! Just Shang Zhen and his old soldiers' killing methods and experience can't help but make you unconvinced!
"You, you stabbed him to death?" A younger man in Liu Dongmin's group asked nervously and admiringly when he saw the dead man on the ground.
Hou Kanshan turned his head when he heard the words. Even in broad daylight, people would look like they had seen a ghost when they saw Hou Kanshan's face, not to mention that it was under the mottled shadows of the trees.
The man who asked the question saw Hou Kanshan's terrifying expression, but he even forgot that Hou Kanshan was his own man, and he was so scared that he couldn't help but take a step back.
Hou Kanshan saw that the boy was a bit brave, so he deliberately bared his teeth at him, and then with a "thump", the guy finally sat down on the ground.
"Hurry up and cut a stretcher and carry this little Japanese soldier. It will probably be useful later!" At this time, Hou Kanshan said.
