Chapter 2082: The Same Old Tactics

The Japanese and puppet troops were still advancing on the snow-covered road, but their pace had slowed down.

At this time, in the woods in front of the Japanese army, Qian Chuan'er and the others were laughing so hard.

The reason was that they killed two more Japanese cavalry.

There are actually no new recruits among them, and the most junior ones have already fought in several battles.

For them, killing a few Japanese soldiers is nothing new.

But the battle they fought today was so exciting!

They hid in the woods or behind the hills on the side of the place where the Japanese army must pass. When the Japanese army came over, they fired a platoon shot and then ran away.

This tactic is certainly not unusual for them, but the key thing is that this time they all have horses.

They fired at a distance of five or six hundred meters from the Japanese army. Ten of them fired together. Although none of them were sharpshooters, because they were all veterans, the shots they fired were more or less reliable.

They have long heard from sharpshooters like Shang Zhen that to hit targets far away, you have to raise the muzzle of your gun.

As for how many Diudiu there are? That all depends on personal feeling.

However, among the ten rough shots, some Japanese soldiers were still shot.

As long as he hits, who cares whether he is injured or killed.

If the Japanese army is harassed, they will naturally come to pursue them.

But it was useless no matter how accurate the Japanese army's marksmanship was. They were already far away from the Japanese army and they were running away on horseback. How could the Japanese army hit them?

Or it can also be understood that this is their way of making the Japanese devils sick!

Isn't that what fighting is all about? The more disgusting the enemy is, the happier they will be!

"Okay, stop laughing." Qian Chuan'er waved his hand, and then he asked the other soldiers, "If you are the commander of the little devils, how will they deal with this trouble? Gu Xihuai, you go first explain."

“If I were the commander of the little devil, I wouldn’t have any good solution.

The main reason is that they have no horses. The remaining cavalry were beaten by us and they dare not come out. It is impossible for them to unload the horses that are pulling the baggage.

They chase us but can't catch up. All they can do is two moves.

One way is to ignore our cold shots and move forward. We can't kill many of them anyway.

Another trick is to send search parties on both sides of the road. "Gu Xihuai answered quickly, obviously he had already thought about this question.

Veterans cherish their lives very much. They know that walking along the river often will not prevent your shoes from getting wet.

What they are fighting is guerrilla warfare, not the kind of positional warfare that must be completed to live and die with the position.

Then they always have to think about their own bottom line, how can they save themselves a life.

This has nothing to do with whether they are brave or not, because this is their habitual thinking formed in long-term battles since their battalion commander Shang Zhen defeated the Japanese.

Battalion Commander Shang Zhen was beaten like this at that time. Although everyone didn't say it, in their hearts they already thought that Shang Zhen was sacrificed.

In other words, Shang Zhen, who often walked by the river, finally got his "wet shoes".

"It's useless to think too much. Let's see what tricks the Japanese use before we decide." Qian Chuan'er said.

So they stopped talking and all moved to the edge of the woods to look at the road in the distance.

They waited for about 20 minutes, and the enemy appeared again. The puppet troops were still in front, and the Japanese troops were behind.

Unsurprisingly, they found a search team of Japanese and puppet troops a few hundred meters away on both sides of the road.

However, the search team marching in the fields naturally walked slowly. The Japanese and puppet army brigade walking on the road did not want to be shot by them again, so they would not walk in front of the search team. Therefore, the marching speed of the Japanese and puppet troops was already too fast. Slowed down.

Moreover, Qian Chuan'er, who was holding a telescope, especially noticed that when terrain such as hills, trees, and shrubs appeared on both sides of the road, the Japanese and puppet search teams would step forward to inspect it.

There is no doubt that as long as it is a place where people can hide, it is the place that the Japanese and puppet army search teams focus on.

"It's not fun anymore." Qian Chuan'er muttered and then said, "Let's retreat to the front first and see if there is any suitable terrain."

Qian Chuan'er and the others could only retreat forward. As for Ma Tu, they were not worried about being discovered by the Japanese and puppet patrols. The Japanese and puppet troops had limited horses this time and could not catch up with them.

"But I'm still unwilling." Han Zhuang said again while riding on the trotting horse. He was afraid of causing Gu Xihuai's dissatisfaction and then added, "I think of our brothers who were beaten to death by the little devils."

As soon as Han Zhuang said this, Gu Xihuai couldn't say anything else.

"I'm not willing to give in. Let's look at the terrain." Qian Chuan'er replied.

They rode their horses and ran forward for a while before climbing to a high hill. Here, they saw smoke from cooking in front of them.

If there is smoke from cooking, there are homes, but the homes are blocked by the terrain.

Because of people, there are more footprints and ruts on the road.

"If we don't beat up the little devil, the village ahead will probably be in trouble." Qian Chuan'er said, and everyone was silent.

After walking some distance further, Gu Xihuai said, "Tell me, will the little devils follow our horse's hoof prints and chase us?"

"It's hard to say. They may think they can't catch up, but they will definitely pay attention." Qian Chuan'er replied.

This is the advantage of riding horses in front of them. Where horses can run, people may not be able to run.

"So how do you think we should fight like this? Send two people to drive the horses to the front, and the rest will find a place to hide. The two people in front will make a circle and come to pick us up." Gu Xihuai said.

"Your idea is great!" Qian Chuan'er couldn't help but applaud.

The trick is still the same trick, but this time the bait has changed, from the original two spies to horse hoof prints all the way forward!

"Yeah, this trick is not bad." Han Zhuang also agreed.

"But you haven't asked me yet, what if we walk over there, what should we do with the footprints?" Gu Xihuai said again.

"Yes, what about the footprints? If we walk in the snow, the Japanese will see the footprints." Han Zhuang also told him.

"This little thing, can it be difficult for us Northeast people? Just scratch it from the back, but we have to hurry." Qian Chuan'er certainly knew how to deal with the footprints, and all he needed was Gu Xihuai's idea.

When he finished speaking, he turned to Han Zhuang and said, "You are also a veteran. Learn from Xi Huai and use your brain more!"

"Hey, I will fight the Japanese, and you are responsible for giving advice!" Han Zhuan knew that Qian Chuan'er was doing this for his own good, so he was not angry.

"You and Liu Chengcai take our horses over for a circle, and tell the villagers to hide if they can.

Let's go to the opposite side. It is estimated that the Japanese patrol team has now changed from two teams to one team following our horse hoof prints.

If the Japanese still have two patrol teams, we will fight the patrol team.

If the patrol team on the other side withdraws, we will fight their large force." Qian Chuan'er said.

But when he said this, Han Zhuang pouted. He wanted to fight the Japanese, not "walk the horse".
