Chapter 2165 Unsolved Mysteries

It was getting dark, and there were stars in the sky.

A very low whisper came from the ambush outside the village.

"If salt is not salty, make acetic acid. Old Cheng, you have to be polite to Xu Lang." This is Qian Chuan'er's voice.

"Fuck, I don't bother others when I see him!" This is Cheng Peng's voice.

"It's useless to be polite to him, that bear-like guy, even if you are polite to him, he will still report you, right?" Liu Keqiang, who has always been steady, also joined in.

Qian Chuan'er was silent.

It's true. Everyone in Shang Zhenying is very annoyed with Xu Lang. He doesn't have any good effect, but he comes to do bad things.

Originally, when Chu Tian proposed the method of fire attack, Zhao Zilong's expression would have agreed.

But who would have thought that Xu Lang, you violated military discipline.

After Xu Lang said this, Zhao Zilong could only say that it was inappropriate.

But, so what? Why do some people call pistols waist-level? That's because whoever has a real weapon in his waist can speak arrogantly.

Xu Chang's words were useless because he couldn't command Shang Zhen's camp at all, and Shang Zhen's camp was not under his control.

In order to implement his own battle plan, Chu Tian not only stated that his camp was not under the control of Xu Lang, but also not under the control of Zhao Zilong!

In order to implement his own battle plan, Chu Tian said this at the time.

"Although we have joined the Eighth Route Army, you are not our superiors. We have the final say on how to fight.

Moreover, to eliminate this group of Japanese and puppet troops, you cavalry company can shoot if you want, and if you don't want to shoot, just watch from the side, and then all the spoils of war will be given to you!

Don't tell me that it violates any discipline. If we attack hard, there will definitely be casualties.

Or even if there are no casualties, we killed the enemy sentry, so we have to throw grenades into the house, right?

Who of you dares to guarantee that throwing grenades will not blow down the houses or walls of the people?

On the contrary, we use the method of fire attack. We set all the houses on fire, which means that the roofs will be burned down, but the walls are there!

At worst, after the devils withdraw, our entire battalion will come and help the people build the roofs."

Chu Tian said so, how can Xu Lang object?

And Chu Tian also said that this matter is not Zhao Zilong's responsibility, so even if it violates the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, it has nothing to do with Zhao Zilong.

He also promised to give the spoils to Zhao Zilong and the Eighth Route Army, so wouldn't Zhao Zilong and his men have a ready-made one? How could Zhao Zilong object?

At this time, in another direction of the village, Chu Tian was with Zhao Zilong and Fang Zheng.

Chu Tian used arson to burn down the houses in the village, which naturally allowed his own camp and Zhao Zilong's cavalry company to surround the village.

"Isn't it too early for you to send people out now?" Even though Zhao Zilong was also a veteran, he was still a little worried.

The reason was that he just found out that Chu Tian had actually sent out the soldiers to light the fire.

And what time is it now? It's only been dark for an hour now.

According to normal thinking, even if the enemy is set on fire at night, it should wait until the second half of the night. After all, the enemy's vigilance will be weakened at that time, and the sentry will also be sleepy.

But now——

Although the village was also pitch black, without any light, anyone could imagine that at this time, the Japanese and puppet troops might stare at the night with wide eyes, but it was unlikely that they could fall asleep.

"Captain Zhao, don't worry.

We can't say that we have a firm grasp on this kind of battle, but normally there shouldn't be any other problems." Chu Tian used the most euphemistic words to express his meaning.

But no matter how euphemistic his words were, they also revealed a kind of arrogance that was unique to Shang Zhenying.

So far, what else could Zhao Zilong say? He could only lie in the dark and observe the village in front of him.

What he was thinking in his heart was, what kind of ability did the soldiers sent by Chu Tian to kill the enemy sentinels and then set fire to the village have?

It should be a very difficult task to find the enemy sentinels in the dark.

But, to Zhao Zilong's surprise, he was still thinking anxiously, and suddenly saw a fire in the village!

But the fire started from a house in the middle of the village. The specific situation was blocked by the house. How could he know what was going on?

"Prepare for battle!" In the darkness around the village, people were shouting, and then there was the sound of pulling the bolt.

And in the sound of the bolt pulling, looking inside the village, the fire was not just one, but several!

They actually killed the enemy sentry without anyone noticing? Zhao Zilong, the old soldier, was shocked.

And in his shock, gunshots were heard in the village.

But compared with the burning of the fire, the gunshots came late.

When the fire started, it couldn't stand the more than 20 houses, and more than half of them were set on fire! So the village became bright in an instant.

But at this time, Zhao Zilong suddenly shouted "not good" in his heart.

Since Chu Tian wanted to do this battle plan to set fire to the house, he did not participate.

But now Zhao Zilong suddenly thought, the houses were indeed on fire, but how did the soldiers who were responsible for setting fire to the houses get out?

The fire was bright, and the soldiers were running out of the village. They could see them hiding in the dark outside.

But the Japanese and puppet troops in the village should also be able to see them. Wouldn't those soldiers be in danger?

And wouldn't those soldiers become a death squad?

Zhao Zilong was thinking about it, and he saw someone really running out in their direction with the fire in the village as the background!

"Don't shoot, these are our people!" Chu Tian shouted.

At this moment, Zhao Zilong's heart was tightened.

I told you not to launch the attack too early!

Now that the fire has started, the Japanese and puppet troops running out of the house should be able to see these soldiers!

But then, something happened that surprised Zhao Zilong.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one book, one bar!

He remembered that Chu Tian sent out a total of four soldiers, and there were exactly four people running out of the village.

But just after the four people rushed out of the village, one person suddenly disappeared.

Although there was the light of the fire behind, Zhao Zilong could not see where the man ran to!

Then, the second, third, and fourth soldiers disappeared one after another.

There is no doubt that the situation in front of him gave Zhao Zilong a weird feeling, as if the four soldiers who set the fire disappeared out of thin air like the Tuxingsun who could escape from the earth!

Then, Zhao Zilong was still wondering where the four soldiers ran to. Did they lie down on the spot? At this time, under the light of the fire in the village, the Japanese and puppet troops appeared.

Sure enough, as Chu Tian had previously inferred, because the houses in this small village were quite close to each other, as long as the houses caught fire, the gaps between the houses could not accommodate anyone at all!

So, what else could the Japanese army do except running out of the village?

Almost at the same time, around the village, there were sounds of "beating" people, and then gunshots rang out in a mess.

Zhao Zilong did not see clearly, who knew how many Japanese and puppet troops ran out from his direction? Five or six, or seven or eight?

Anyway, at the moment when the chaotic gunfire sounded, he saw the Japanese and puppet soldiers running out fell to the ground after being shot. In an instant, all the enemies were hit!

The thatched house was on fire, so how could it be fast?

As long as the fire reached the house, there was no way to save it, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers could not save it!

In a blink of an eye, the fire in the village was bright, reflecting the entire sky red!

As the fire grew, more and more Japanese and puppet soldiers ran out of the village with guns.

But without exception, those who dared to rush out of the village and show themselves were all knocked to the ground.

At this time, Zhao Zilong was no longer surprised by the sufficient ammunition of the Shang camp, but the marksmanship of these veterans.

The place where they hid was at least 200 meters away from the village.

However, these 200 meters became an insurmountable distance for the Japanese and puppet soldiers rushing out of the village.

Only those guys could run out of the village for 10 meters? 20 meters? They certainly couldn't reach 30 meters, and they were all knocked to the ground, so that Zhao Zilong rarely saw the gunfire produced by the Japanese puppet army shooting at them!

In other words, the Japanese puppet army was hit as soon as they appeared in the firelight.

Zhao Zilong also saw that some puppet soldiers ran out of the village with their guns raised in both hands.

Zhao Zilong was of course very familiar with this kind of action of the puppet army!

The puppet army had a weak fighting will and wanted to surrender as soon as they saw that the situation was not right.

However, Shang Zhenying did not give the puppet army a chance to surrender. The gunshots rang out, and the puppet army was shot and fell.

This was the situation on their side, and it was probably the same in other directions!

It was only ten minutes later that the small village turned into a sea of ​​fire, and at this time, suddenly a Japanese soldier rushed out screaming.

The guy screamed so miserably because he was still on fire!

It seems that this guy was born at the wrong time. He wanted to hide in the village, but he couldn't stand the scorching flames and could only rush out. Being shot to death is better than being burned to death!

Then, as he wished, with a few gunshots, the Japanese soldier also fell in the flames.

And this Japanese soldier became the last enemy to die in this battle.

After that, no more Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed out!

Did the battle end just like that? I don't know why, it was a real battle, but it gave Zhao Zilong, an old soldier, a dream feeling, as if all this was not real.

After waiting for a few minutes, Chu Tian shouted: "Go!"

So, the soldiers of Shang Zhenying who were hiding in the dark picked up their rifles and began to march towards the village.

Zhao Zilong also hurriedly followed.

Now he still has a mystery in his heart, that is, where did the soldiers who set the fire hide, or have they died.
