Chapter 2156: Captain Shot

The team continued to move forward, heading towards another village that Shang Zhenying was responsible for protecting.

Li Shan emphasized discipline again, and no one spoke. The atmosphere of the march was dull.

It was heard that Secretary He was not the only one who sacrificed Chen Hanwen. How did Secretary He sacrifice himself? What was the specific situation? Everyone had questions in their hearts, but no one dared to ask. Even Hu Zhuzi, who was always a tiger, did not say a word.

An hour later, their two platoons met with the third platoon. After more than half an hour, these three platoons met with the fourth platoon.

This area of ​​villages is relatively concentrated. There are of course dirt roads connecting the villages, but after all, they are not in a straight line. They all took shortcuts in the fields to meet their own people, and did not collide with the Japanese army.

When they met with the two platoons, Li Shan just said that the plan had changed and did not allow them to ask.

But when they ran towards the fifth village, someone finally spoke, and that was Xu Lang.

Xu Lang panted and asked, "If we are all united now, will we still protect the people in each village?"

Who else can answer questions like Xu Lang's? The people in Shang Zhenying are not of high enough rank, so they can only listen to Li Shan.

So far, the people in Shang Zhenying felt that the battle was aggrieved. How could they fight the Japanese without making decisions and protecting the people?

But no one could say anything.

"The Japanese army is not coming for the people. We gather everyone together to beat some of the little Japanese. The little Japanese will naturally come to us. How can they harm the people again?" This was Li Shan's answer.

Hearing Li Shan say this, Xu Lang was speechless, and the people in Shang Zhenying looked at each other. The meaning in the eyes of each soldier was that it should have been like this long ago!

But at this time, they suddenly heard a gunshot from the front!

When everyone was looking forward, the gunshots became chaotic.

"Hurry up!" Li Shan shouted, and everyone ran forward.

Here is the village protected by the last platoon, and this village is actually the most important.

The reason is that this village is the most conducive to defense among the five villages in terms of terrain, and there are many mountains and forests on all sides.

And precisely because the terrain is conducive to defense, there are several horse-drawn carts here, and Wang Laomao is also here.

But who would have thought that a battle would happen here.

However, this also shows from another perspective that the Japanese army has put a lot of thought into dealing with Shang Zhenying this time, and has changed its previous rigid tactics.

These people ran from east to west, and now they are naturally running to the hills in the east.

The Japanese army that returned from the sweep came from the southwest to the northeast. As for which direction the Japanese army where the gunshots are now coming from, they don't know.

After all, the Japanese army has created many small forces, who knows where they came from.

Seeing that they could see the village after climbing the hill in front, most of the soldiers in Shang Zhen’s camp were veterans, so they didn’t need to be told. Naturally, some people took advantage of the terrain to hide nearby and aimed their rifles at the top of the hill.

Now they were very close to the village, and no one could figure out what was going on ahead, so they had to be careful.

If the Japanese occupied the hill, and there was no firepower to cover it, wouldn’t that be exactly what the Japanese wanted? Now it was time to fight again.

Upon hearing the gunshots in front, Chu Tian didn’t ask Li Shan for instructions this time, and directly assigned tasks and said: "Qiao Youzi, take a squad to the hill in the south, and Chen Hanwen, take a squad to the hill in the north.

Be careful, but the hill must not be taken away by the Japanese!"

Chu Tian had been to this village and knew the terrain here. The village was in a valley surrounded by mountains.

Although it was surrounded by mountains, the mountains here were not very high, and the area of ​​the valley was not very large.

According to Chu Tian's estimation, the shortest distance from east to west or north to south is only 200 to 300 meters, and the farthest distance will never exceed 500 meters!

Two opposite hills can open fire on each other.

Once the Japanese army seizes the surrounding hills, the village will be completely suppressed by the enemy's firepower!

Li Shan did not raise any objections to Chu Tian's order, but just led the way to run to the east hill.

As they ran, the veterans of the Eighth Route Army and Shang Zhenying saw the difference.

Although Chu Tian Qian Chuan'er followed Li Shan in front, the ones following were all Eighth Route Army soldiers.

As for the veterans of Shang Zhenying, as they ran forward, people kept stopping under the cover of the terrain and pointed their rifles forward.

"Hey!" Xu Lang shouted in response to this situation.

He subconsciously wanted to say, why are the soldiers in Shang Zhenying afraid of death? He didn't realize that he had actually fallen behind.

However, when Xu Lang looked back again, he saw that the soldiers of Shang Zhen's camp who had stayed behind to provide cover had already rushed up again with their guns.

It was just that Xu Lang shouted so loudly that Li Shan, who was in front of him, turned back when he heard it.

He couldn't figure out why Xu Lang shouted. Seeing that the soldiers of Shang Zhen's camp were chasing him from behind, he frowned and said nothing, and continued to run forward.

Soon, they rushed up the hill in front.

At this time, someone on the hill and in the woods was calling them. It was the voice of the Eighth Route Army sentry: "Captain, we are here!"

With that voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At least this hilltop belongs to the Eighth Route Army at present.

No mistake, a poem, a post, a content, a book, a forum, a 6-9 book, a forum!

The soldiers in charge of covering the back of Shang Zhenying stopped covering and all rushed up the hill.

And Li Shan was undoubtedly the first to rush up the hilltop.

"What's the situation?" Li Shan asked breathlessly when he rushed into the woods.

"The hilltop in the east is occupied by the Japanese. It seems that there are not many troops. They are exchanging fire with the village!" The sentry answered.

Li Shan followed the sentry and ran forward.

When they ran to the top of the hill, they could see the village below, and they also saw the hilltop opposite.

The hilltop opposite was similar to this place, with both woods and bushes. When they arrived at this position, they could already hear clearly that the gunshots were fired from both the opposite hilltop and the village.

The enemy on the other side must be the Japanese army, and there must have been a sentry from the Eighth Route Army on the mountain, and of course it could have been sent by Shang Zhenying.

But the mountaintop has been occupied by the enemy, so the sentry must have died.

Li Shan looked at the opposite mountaintop. Although it was winter, there was a forest on the opposite mountaintop, and the two mountaintops were the longest in space. Not to mention him, even if it was someone else, they might not be able to see where the Japanese army was hiding.

But at this time, Li Shan suddenly remembered that he was carrying a telescope.

The telescope was given to him by Chu Tian.

He quickly took out the telescope from his backpack and looked across.

"Be careful!" Chu Tian reminded him quickly.

Li Shan responded and moved his body behind a tree and continued to watch.

You know what, it's really useful to have a telescope. When he adjusted the focus, he really saw a Japanese soldier hiding behind a tree and shooting at the village with a gun.

"There's one!" Li Shan held the telescope in one hand and pointed out with the other.

But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the opposite side, and then Chu Tian, ​​who was with him, saw Li Shan throw away the telescope and fall down directly!

Chu Tian's head buzzed, and he quickly lay down, stretched out his hand to drag Li Shan back, and shouted: "Hurry up, the captain has been shot!"
