Chapter 2014 The Battalion Commander Who Refused to Abandon His Troops

Shang Zhen hid in the woods, listening to the gunshots that rose and fell around him, and he quickly analyzed various possibilities.

Now he was temporarily out of danger, but the battle was disrupted, the enemy and us were mixed and intertwined, and the situation had become uncontrollable.

Where the gunshots were heard, there were certainly battles between the enemy and us, but where there were no gunshots, there was no guarantee that there were no hidden personnel from both sides.

So what should he do next?

Shang Zhen didn't want to die, but that didn't mean he was afraid of death!

Now in his understanding, life is about giving up, giving up the original things for something in a higher realm.

He really wanted to be with Leng Xiaozhi, let Leng Xiaozhi give birth to a bunch of children for him, and enjoy the family happiness of having children around his knees.

But that was absolutely impossible, he couldn't do this!

The Japanese invaders were wreaking havoc on the Chinese land, and he was hiding in a dark corner, enjoying the children around his knees?

But at the same time, there will be children of compatriots who will be stabbed by the Japanese invaders with bayonets, thrown to death on rocks, or thrown into burning houses.

Similarly, his soldiers are now fighting desperately with the Japanese invaders, just like his own soldiers just now, who died heroically to save him, or died with the Japanese devils.

Then what about him? Let him escape alone in the mountains? He can't do it either!

But what should he do?

Should he shout "Shang Zhen is here" like he did when he fought the Japanese army once, and then attract all the Japanese devils to him!

But when he was about to do this, he found that it didn't work!

If he did this, what's the point of breaking out from Wujiapo? Wouldn't it be better for him to shoot at the Japanese devils from a high position on the top of Wujiapo?

Then his own people risked their lives to save him, so what's the point of shouting Shang Zhen is here again, wouldn't it be a replica of the previous battle?

At this point, Shang Zhen sadly discovered that there was really no way to deal with this kind of chaos except to escape from the mountains. Whether to fight or retreat depends on what his officers and soldiers, including himself, think. The command has been delegated to each combatant.

It was already dawn, and this rescue operation should be over. Whether they can withdraw in time depends on whether they have the thinking of veterans or soldiers. Seeing that things are impossible, they should withdraw instead of fighting the Japanese army to the end. Otherwise, what is the difference between this and fighting a positional war?

After a period of random thoughts, this battle returned to the original thinking of the caravan. Let's withdraw. If there is a green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood!

Shang Zhen observed the surroundings, took the box gun, dragged his injured leg and began to walk deep into the woods.

But he had only walked a few dozen steps when he suddenly heard the "boom" and "boom" explosions from the boat behind him, and then the "bang bang bang" sound of the Czech light machine gun firing short bursts!

And that light machine gun was definitely not just one, but several light machine guns firing short bursts at the same time, which sounded more urgent from his position than a machine gun firing continuously!

Listening to the rapid gunshots, like drum beats beating in his heart, Shang Zhen hesitated.

He immediately understood that he thought so, and the smart veterans under his command thought the same as him, but his soldiers didn't think so after all!

The gunshots showed that his men and the Japanese army had fought again, and it should be his own people who ambushed the Japanese devils. At least he hadn't heard of the Japanese army using Czech light machine guns.

But before he could come up with an idea again, he suddenly noticed that there was movement in front of him. He quickly dodged and hid behind a big tree. When he looked at the place where there was movement, he saw the khaki figure of the Japanese army.

Looking at the direction where the Japanese army was advancing, it was exactly where the Czech light machine guns were roaring! At this point, Shang Zhen had nothing to hesitate about!

He turned around and looked back at the depths of the woods. If he ran a little further ahead, there were not many pine trees, but more and more messy trees. Shang Zhen couldn't see what was going on.

Then, let's shoot!

Shang Zhen first replaced his box gun with a full magazine, then bent over and ran more than ten steps to the left to the back of the thickest tree, and then held the box against his shoulder.

He watched the Japanese soldiers passing through the woods a few dozen meters away, and was not in a hurry to shoot. At this time, he found that there were more than 40 Japanese soldiers.

Well, it would be best if he could kill 10 of them. Shang Zhen silently set a goal for himself, and then when these Japanese soldiers ran to a place with relatively few trees, he pulled the trigger.

The gunshots were fierce, like the call of the god of death. Every time Shang Zhen pulled the trigger, a Japanese soldier would be shot and fall to the ground. Shang Zhen really only fired 10 shots, and these 10 shots were 10 breaths, which was less than 10 seconds.

After firing 10 shots, Shang Zhen retracted his gun and retreated behind the tree, using the thick trunk of the tree to turn around and run!

At this time, the Japanese army's counterattack bullets arrived, and the bullets hit the tree trunk and made a "puff" and "puff" sound, but no bullet could hit Shang Zhen.

It's not that the Japanese army's shooting skills were inaccurate, but because Shang Zhen moved more than ten meters before shooting, he chose a place that was easy to avoid bullets.

He hid behind a big tree. Behind the big tree, there were several big trees growing side by side. As soon as he passed through the gap between the big trees, the big tree turned into a cover for him. Ready-made "fortifications".

Shang Zhen was already satisfied with being able to defeat 10 Japanese soldiers in such an ambush. This time he had to run.

But he didn't know the horror he had brought to the Japanese soldiers at this time!

Although the Japanese army said it was impossible to calculate how many shots Shang Zhen fired, it was an indisputable fact that when Shang Zhen's gun sounded, someone would be shot and fell to the ground!

Little did they know that in the long-term battle with the Japanese army, Shang Zhen had developed his own almost instinctive way of fighting the Japanese.

He shot at the Japanese soldiers, not randomly. He just shot at whoever the gun pointed at. He shot with a plan!

He first shot the Japanese soldiers who were closer to the trees, and then the Japanese soldiers in the open space.

Because whether they are Chinese or Japanese, the instinctive reaction when being attacked is to find a place to hide first!

Shang Zhen's first few shots knocked down the Japanese soldiers who were close to the tree. The Japanese soldiers in the open space in the middle also instinctively wanted to find a place to avoid the bullets before firing back.

Just when the Japanese soldiers in the open space wanted to hide behind the trees, since they were a little far away from the trees, although they only needed to run a few steps, these few steps were enough for Shang Zhen to knock down a few more people. Yes!

Of course, the Japanese army did not notice the order in which Shang Zhen fired, but their men were actually shot, and they were all hit in vital parts. This was real.

Although they didn't hit Shang Zhen when they fired, they still saw Shang Zhen's figure after all.

There was only one person on the other side, and his marksmanship was very accurate. This could not help but attract the attention of these Japanese soldiers. I don’t know what a Japanese military officer said in a jabbering manner, but in his words, he said "Shang Zhen" in Chinese. !

It was the traitor Xu Lang who described Shang Zhen's appearance and circumstances, and these were directly informed by the Japanese captain!

The remaining Japanese troops no longer cared about their killed companions. Two of them were sent to run into the woods to call for reinforcements, while the rest of them all held guns and ran in the direction of Shang Zhen's escape. Chase him!
