Chapter 2095 A Night of Battle Is Destined

What Qian Chuan'er said was not without reason. They were too few in number. If the Japanese army had been prepared, their sneak attack might not have achieved any results.

If they just wanted to scare the Japanese army, why did they shoot? Wouldn't it be better to put a small whip in a tin bucket?

There was no other way. Qian Chuan'er and Lou Yue could only get on the car again and continue to move away. Of course, they had to choose a new place to attack the Japanese army.

Not long after they walked away, the gunshots behind them stopped.

For this reason, they naturally started to discuss it again in the carriage.

Since Qian Chuan'er said so confidently that it must have been done by their battalion, then Qian Chuan'er could only say it.

Qian Chuan'er's explanation was that the people in their battalion only attacked the Japanese army briefly, that is, they fired a volley of machine guns, and the machine gun fired a burst of fire, and then they withdrew.

As for how many devils were killed, it all depended on how many people in their battalion were there, because the number of shots fired was limited.

If they ran slowly and were entangled by the Japanese army, it would be dangerous.

The Japanese army must have been exhausted by their battalion. Seeing that they could not catch up, they stopped chasing after a round of gunfire. They must have needed to reach the town he mentioned before dark.

The soldiers thought that Qian Chuan'er's explanation was reasonable and stopped asking.

More than half an hour later, they found another ambush site and set up an ambush.

This time the terrain was not as ideal as before. There was a hill three or four hundred meters away from the road, but there was a ditch running from the hill to the wilderness. Although it was frozen, it was impossible for the carriage to pull people across.

Lou Yue said that they could take the carriage to the ditch and get off the carriage. The empty carriage should be able to pass through, and they could walk over and get on the carriage.

Okay, Qian Chuan'er saw that the depth and width of the ditch should be able to pass through the carriage, so he agreed.

"Our battalion commander said that good things take time. If you want to fight the Japanese and survive, how can you not be diligent?" This is what Qian Chuan'er said.

Well, Lou Yue and the others thought Qian Chuan'er's statement was reasonable. There was no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world, so they also accepted it.

But then something happened that made them helpless again.

They had only been lying down at the new ambush site for a while when they heard short and fierce gunshots coming from the direction they were running from!

Then, what happened was the same gunshots they heard before, and gunshots broke out again!

"What can we do? Is your battalion so active in fighting the Japanese?" Lou Yue said helplessly.

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him. The Japanese's carriage was knocked down halfway, and the baggage and wounded were not easy to carry, so the march was slow. Then the people in our battalion will definitely not be idle." Qian Chuan'er explained, although he was also helpless.

"Can't we stay in this place again?" Ma Xiaoliang asked helplessly on the side.

Everyone looked at Qian Chuan'er.

"Are you all looking at me?" Qian Chuan'er asked knowingly.

"Who are you looking at if not you?" Lou Yue asked unhappily.

This time he came out with full ambition, but now he felt like he was hitting cotton with his fist!

Not to mention seizing the Japanese sword, it seems that shooting the Japanese has become a luxury!

"How about we change places?" Ma Xiaoliang said.

Ma Xiaoliang said this, Lou Yue and the others were a little discouraged.

It turned out that they had plenty of opportunities to fight the Japanese in their own regiment, but if they were to shoot the Japanese from a distance, they would definitely have the opportunity to shoot.

But this time, it's good, even the terrain for shooting is not easy to find!

Qian Chuan'er still didn't say anything, just looked in the direction where the Japanese army was sweeping.

"Little Squinting Eyes, why are you pretending to be deaf?" Lou Yue was angry and called Qian Chuan'er Little Squinting Eyes again.

Qian Chuan'er held his anger and ignored him but still looked.

At this time, others realized that Qian Chuan'er's eyes were not right.

"What are you looking at?" A soldier muttered and looked at it, and everyone's eyes changed after looking at it for a while.

Because they all saw a few wisps of green smoke rising slowly in that direction. Although there were white clouds in the sky today, the green smoke did exist.

There is no fool who can be a scout, so what does the wisps of green smoke mean? It means that the big town that Qian Chuan'er mentioned is ahead!

"How can we ambush here? We can't ambush in the town, right?" Lou Yue retracted his gaze and looked at Qian Chuan'er.

"Hehe." Qian Chuan'er suddenly smiled at Lou Yue.

No one could figure out why Qian Chuan'er smiled at this time, but then he suddenly tightened his face and said, "Don't talk to me, I'm deaf!"

His words made Lou Yue dumbfounded at the time.

...

When it was dark, the whole Dongwa Town became noisy.

But the noise was not the kind that usually occurred on market days. This time, the noise was full of scolding from the puppet army, the "ba ga" of the Japanese soldiers, and the groans of the wounded.

As for the people in the town, who dared to speak out? If they didn't want to die, they would do whatever the devils or puppet soldiers told them to do. If they were a little slow to talk back, they would be slapped in the face at best or hit with the butt of a gun at worst.

As for why the Japanese devils didn't kill people, the people guessed that it was because they were still useful. Both the devils and puppet soldiers had a lot of wounded people who needed them to settle down.

"Look at Hu Laoliu's family, they are smart, they knew the Japanese would come, and dozens of people in their family hid away." An old man in a broken thatched house on the edge of the town muttered in a low voice.

"His family can count? Dad, you don't know what's going on at all!" His son retorted.

"Then what do you think happened?" The old man was not convinced.

"Before the Japanese came, I saw a large group of national army soldiers enter Hu Laoliu's house, and soon everyone in my Hu Laoliu family, young and old, went out.

There was also a person who went out with his family who I had never seen before. I have seen the clothes he wore. They belonged to Hu Laoliu's son. I guess that person was a national army soldier." His son whispered.

"Is it true?" The old man widened his eyes.

"Who am I kidding, am I kidding you?" His son was unhappy.

The old man knew that his son never lied to him. He opened his mouth for a while and then lowered his voice and said, "Hu Laoliu's family has been taken over by the Japanese. Didn't you see it?

Then his house will be lively tonight? I don't know where those national soldiers are hiding."

"Where else can they hide?" His son curled his lips.

"His house--" The old man heard his son's words and reacted as a town man.

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, just pretend you don't know anything, but don't tell anyone!" His son hurriedly warned.

"Who to tell? If you tell, won't you be a traitor?" The old man said, his position was quite clear.

"If we had known earlier, we would have run away. We must have fought tonight." His son said.

"Then let's run now!" The old man said.

"You will die faster if you run now. All the entrances and exits of the town are guarded with guns. Do you dare to go out now?" His son glared.

"What should we do? We have to find a place where bullets can't hit us!" The old man was worried.

There were only two of them in this family. The people in the town jokingly called them two bachelors, one old and one young. They had nothing but a thatched house.

There was really no place for them to hide. If they wanted to hide, the broken thatched house could be shot through if it was hit by a bullet. There was no safe place.

The two of them discussed the hiding place in a low voice.

As for the Hu Laoliu family they mentioned, it was also a big family in the town, with high walls and a large courtyard.

At this time, outside Dongwa Town, Chu Tian, ​​Cheng Peng, and Liu Keqiang, the three company commanders, were also observing Dongwa Town in the twilight with their battalion.

"The devils have sentries at every entrance and exit of the town. It seems that we can't sneak in tonight. If we can't sneak in, we will shoot outside. We can't let the devils sleep well!" Chu Tian said.
