Chapter 2001 My Eyes Are the Ruler!

A grenade launcher weighs no more than six pounds. Although it is theoretically an ultra-light mortar, it is just as its name suggests, too light, so light that it is only a tube.

Because it is light and easy to carry, a Japanese squad will be equipped with two.

Because the Japanese army has many grenade launchers, when the Shang Zhen camp in their south launched another attack, there will naturally be more than one place where flares are raised.

And with the intrusion of those horses, more grenade launchers fired flares.

But at this time, at the foot of the mountain south of Wujiapo, there was a "boom" sound, and a flare was also fired.

But this flare was not fired at Wujiapo but at the south, and the operator adjusted the inclination angle a little larger, and the flare was fired at the middle of their ambush position and the small village.

But the area it illuminated was empty, and there was no shadow of the Chinese army.

In fact, this is exactly the case. Although Chu Tian hopes to disrupt the Japanese army to create an opportunity for Shang Zhen to escape, they are not all death squads. Even Wang Xiaodaner and Ge Changli, who rushed the farthest, only rushed to the village on horseback, not to mention others.

Seeing that there was no other situation, the Japanese soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain did not fire the flares again, but they did not know that at this time, someone in front of the ambushed Japanese army had already whispered "It's a close call" in his heart. That person was Shang Zhen who had disguised himself as a Japanese soldier!

At more than three o'clock, Shang Zhen went down from Wujiapo, but he didn't reach this position until now.

The reason is very simple. The only way to go down from the mountain is the mountain road that is now full of corpses.

Shang Zhen is not afraid of dead people, he is afraid of living people, but there are living people on this road, such as the secret sentries left by the Japanese army on the mountain road.

Fortunately, Shang Zhen still remembered where people could hide in the gaps between the rocks on both sides of the road.

Whenever he arrived at such a place, Shang Zhen could only use the method of stirring up trouble by throwing stones to test, and in the end he really found that there were Japanese soldiers hiding in a certain position, and it was not just one or two, he estimated that there must be at least four or five.

This time, Shang Zhen did not even touch the sentry, but used the most effective and stupid method - using the snail moving method. God knows whether it moved half a foot or an inch at a time. Anyway, he relied on his strong psychological quality and caution to crawl past the Japanese without making a sound under the eyes of the Japanese!

Can you imagine the scene at that time?

The mountain road was only five or six meters wide in total, and there were invisible corpses and bloodstains on the road. The Japanese soldiers on one side of the road did not even notice that someone crawled over five meters away. It is conceivable how slowly Shang Zhen crawled.

Reason told Shang Zhen that if he didn't want to perish with the Japanese devils, he couldn't fight with them anymore, at least not before he saw hope of escaping!

It took Shang Zhen more than an hour to get down from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and his intuition told him that there must be an ambush by the Japanese army ahead, although he didn't know what it was.

Of course, he understood that it was not good to be anxious about this kind of thing. The best way was to wait until the Japanese army showed a flaw.

But the time he waited was really limited, and he didn't forget that it was almost dawn.

And at this time, Chu Tian and his men in the south began their actions. How could Shang Zhen not guess his intentions, but the Japanese army didn't make any movement at all!

At that time, Shang Zhen was anxious, thinking, damn little devils, you guys in the south have fired flares, why don't you fire?

But why not? This reasoning was too simple for Shang Zhen. The Japanese army was afraid that firing flares would let him see how they were ambushing, right?

So the less movement the Japanese army made, the more he believed that they were in ambush, and the less he dared to move.

But the problem was that he could wait, but time could not wait any longer, because the day was about to dawn!

Finally, just when Shang Zhen was planning to gamble on his luck again, the Japanese army actually fired flares to the south!

It stands to reason that although the Japanese flares were fired closer to here, the light was barely shining here and was not as bright as daylight, but Shang Zhen was lying down and looking forward with his face raised.

With the bright sky as the background, Shang Zhen's vision finally reflected two black ropes pulled more than ten meters ahead!

The height of the two ropes was one high and one low, the high one was no higher than the knee, and the low one was no higher than a head, and there were many empty cans tied to the ropes.

The moment Shang Zhen saw the two ropes, he instantly understood that this was a simple and practical "trap" set by the Japanese army for himself.

As long as I come down from the mountain, whether I hold a gun and walk forward with my back bent or crawl forward, I will bump into the rope. The two empty cans will collide and make a sound. Even if the Japanese army does not use flares but only uses flashlights, I will definitely not be able to escape the Japanese army's firepower network!

In this world, there are of course many unsolved mysteries, but more are still like what Shang Zhen saw, such as two ropes tied with empty cans by the Japanese army. When you don't know, you feel it is difficult to cross, but when you know it, it is worthless! Just like a magic trick, fake is fake after all.

After seeing the two ropes while lying on the spot, Shang Zhen immediately reacted. It was useless to just see it, he had to get over it himself!

How can I get there? Of course, I can't just walk over when the flare is shining brightly in the sky. I have to wait until the flare falls and it gets dark.

The two ropes are very long. Even if they are not long, Shang Zhen doesn't plan to go around them.

Because he already knows the traps set by the Japanese army here. If he goes around to a place he hasn't seen before, who knows what the Japanese army will set up, and he will face unknown risks. It's not worth it.

So the most realistic thing is to wait until it gets dark, walk to the rope and step over it, yes! Step over it!

And if you want to step over it, you must know the exact distance between your current position and the two ropes, so that you won't trip over the two ropes, one high and one low, when you lift your legs.

While the flare hasn't fallen completely, Shang Zhen began to quickly judge the distance between himself and the two ropes and the distance between the two ropes.

This intuitive judgment only takes a moment.

And it was also just in this moment that the flare fell, but Shang Zhen had already memorized this distance.

It was just that the flares nearby were extinguished, but there were still Japanese flares rising in the distance, especially in the village, the Japanese fired another flare, but then there were gunshots and explosions.

The explosion must have come from his own village, because Shang Zhen saw the flash of a grenade explosion here.

But there was no use in being anxious, he still needed to wait until the flares stopped rising.

Shang Zhen believed that although the Japanese soldiers here were preventing him from sneaking over, they must have turned back to care about the battle situation in front.

Although it was already very dark here, once there were Japanese soldiers hiding at this end of the rope, that is, at his end, then in the eyes of the Japanese, the situation when he crossed the two ropes was no different from the situation when he found the two ropes with the light of the flares as the background. After all, how could the thin rope be compared with his body?

Shang Zhen waited again, and his mood became contradictory.

On the one hand, he certainly didn't want the battle in the south to end quickly. If it ended quickly, the possibility of his defeat would be greater. On the other hand, only when the battle was over would the Japanese stop firing flares.

This was really a torture and test for Shang Zhen!

Time passed little by little while Shang Zhen was waiting, and when a trace of white appeared in the eastern sky, the flares finally fell and no more flares rose, Shang Zhen was shocked.

He stood up directly in the darkness, walked forward with the most ordinary steps and the most ordinary mentality.

He counted his steps silently in his heart.

Of course, he knew how much the distance between his steps was. The two ropes in front were where he took fourteen steps, and the distance between the two ropes was less than one step.

You must believe in yourself, your eyes are the ruler! A normal person walking in the dark night is no different from a blind person walking in the daytime.

But when Shang Zhen took the tenth step, he suddenly thought of the blind man and smiled slightly, although this smile seemed so inappropriate at this time.
