Chapter 948: Gunslinger’s Showdown (1)

The soldiers were still shooting into the woods, and at this time the Japanese army's counterattack in the woods began.

It should be that the Japanese army wanted the Chinese army they saw to move closer before they opened fire. But this time the Chinese army stopped moving forward and fired at the Japanese army. Then the Japanese army finally couldn't hold on. .

The soldiers on Shang Zhen's end could finally see Japanese soldiers emerging from the bushes to shoot.

Of course, whether they can see it and hit it based on their marksmanship is another matter.

But the enemy and we only exchanged fire for more than a minute, but Shang Zhen shouted loudly: "Leave three more people to cover, and the rest will retreat!"

Why are you retreating now? Listening to the sound of gunfire, it seems that there are not many Japanese troops on the other side!

Think about it, fighting is inherently tense, how many shots can one person take in one minute? That minute was just a matter of blinking an eyelid!

But then the soldiers looked at the battlefield situation and realized that Shang Zhen was right.

Although the enemy and we only fired at each other for a minute or so, seven or eight of them were already lying on the ground and could no longer raise their heads!

If that's the case, then that's all. When they look at their companions who were shot, they all have bleeding heads!

In other words, they were all killed with one shot and there were no casualties!

"What are you so stupid about? Go back!" Shang Zhen said angrily.

In this minute or so, Shang Zhen only fired five shots in total. He knew clearly that these five shots should have hit three Japanese soldiers.

This is not to say that Shang Zhen shoots slowly with a rifle. With his rate of fire, he can still fire thirty shots a minute.

But in the middle, you don't need to press the bullet yourself, but just grab the gun and shoot.

Shang Zhen only fired five shots in total. This was because the Japanese soldiers in the woods were all wearing camouflage clothes. If he wanted to hit them, he had to capture them first.

As for Shang Zhen's soldiers, their guns were very fast, but could they really hit the Japanese army?

Of course, Shang Zhen can also let the battle continue, but he can no longer find the Japanese soldiers in the woods. If the fight continues like this, he can guarantee that more people will die!

If the opponent only has one sharpshooter, he would rather let the soldiers rush forward with certain casualties.

But the opponent obviously has more than ten people. If I launch an attack rashly, I'm afraid half of the more than 60 people will die on the way to the charge!

It is really difficult to say how many Japanese soldiers can be killed.

Shang Zhen has used this kind of fighting method before. He fights the enemy not far or close, and then runs away after taking advantage. Who knows that the Japanese will not fight like this?

Since abandoning it would make the food tasteless, it would be better to leave.

Shang Zhen knew that the marksmanship of his men was far behind. Just now he just glanced behind him and gave the order, but now he turned back and pointed his rifle at the woods ahead.

Now Shang Zhen felt that his body was already wet. He hid in the mud, even though he was wearing cotton clothes, how could he not get wet?

But how could Shang Zhen care about this at this time? What he was most concerned about now was his elbow.

In mud ponds, the mud is always soft, and my two elbows are the fulcrum for holding the rifle.

Although the recoil of the Type 38 rifle is relatively small, the soft support point below will still have some impact on his accurate shooting. This is one of the reasons why he only hit three Japanese soldiers in five shots.

Shang Zhen started looking for his shooting target in the woods again.

The tree trunks and branches in the woods are black and gray. Although the color of the camouflage clothing used by the Japanese army this time is different from the color of the tree trunk, it is not big. It seems that the Japanese army has withdrawn again. It is really not easy to find a Japanese gunner. ah.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese sniper rifle is still good. It can be seen clearly with four times magnification, and the flame in the muzzle is very small, making it extremely difficult to find the target.

In such a confrontation, the Japanese army really had the advantage.

At this time, Shang Zhen had no time to think about this. The only thing he could do was to search for the target with calm mind.

In Shang Zhen's concentration, the world around him disappeared again. He felt as if he was integrated with the rifle in his hand, and then he remained motionless when he felt that the color was different somewhere in the woods opposite. Aiming.

Until he felt something moving there, and when he was sure it was a Japanese soldier, he pulled the trigger.

Just after this shot, Shang Zhen saw that the background color where he was staring changed and turned into the color of a tree trunk.

He knew that his shot must have hit him. The Japanese soldier fell down after being shot, revealing the tree trunk behind him.

A faint joy appeared in Shang Zhen's heart, but the joy was just like the faint ripples formed when a leech moves across the calm water.

Killing enemies with passion was a matter for new recruits. At this point in Shang Zhen's life, killing enemies had become a calm and rational technical job.

But just when Shang Zhen pulled the gun to eject the shell and pushed the bolt again and again, he suddenly heard the sound of gunshots and the shouts of soldiers behind him!

What is this situation? At this moment, Shang Zhen was finally freed from the world of shooting. He restrained his urge to turn his head quickly and turned his head back slowly instead.

God knows if the Japanese soldiers in the woods noticed that they were in this muddy pond. Only by being careful can you sail a thousand-year boat.

Shang Zhen turned his head and realized that his soldiers had run back more than a hundred meters.

But now they were all lying on the ground again, and the rifles in their hands were pointed at the left wing of their original direction.

Of course it is clear what Shang Zhen is on the left wing. There is a low hill about 300 meters away.

It happened after all! By this time, Shang Zhen had realized in his heart that the Japanese army had actually made a detour!

Why did he ask the soldiers to withdraw? It was because they could not move forward but could not stay where they were. The place where everyone stayed before was simply an open space.

It should be that the Japanese army had already discovered them when they were advancing towards the woods, so the Japanese army was detouring towards the low mountain on the left wing at that time, but they did not notice it at the time and the Japanese army did not detour back into position.

Thank you for just letting your own people go back the way they came, instead of going to the low mountain on the left to occupy a commanding height!

"Trouble, trouble, won't the idiot block our retreat?" At this time, a voice sounded.

Shang Zhen turned his head back and looked over. Only then did he realize that the person speaking was Ma Erpao, and among the dead soldiers, Lao Qiuzi and Zhu Yuliang were lying on their backs looking at him. .

But that was all, but Shang Zhen saw Li Qingfeng, Da Laobeng and Wang Xiaodan lying down behind Ma Erpao and the others.

When the three people looked at him, Old Stupid still looked naive, Wang Xiaodan's face turned red, and Li Qingfeng winked at him.

"Who asked you three to stay?" Shang Zhen turned his head back, but his voice came through.

"Didn't you say that three people should be left to cover with you?" Ma Erpao asked.

Damn it, Qingfeng Li and the other three were behind Ma Erpao and the others. After most of the people withdrew, Qingfeng Li and the other three didn't fire. Ma Erpao didn't know that there were three more people behind them!

In fact, there was something wrong with the order Shang Zhen gave just now. The army's orders must be clear and unmistakable.

He only said that three people should be left to cover with him, but he didn't say who they were. How could this be allowed?

That order must be "First row to cover, second and third rows to retreat", or "Zhang San to the left, Li Si to the right". Just the order he just gave said that three people should stay, but which three people? Those who stay are likely to die in battle, so who will take the initiative to stay? Or is it that no one is afraid of death? Everyone stays?

Shang Zhen only had a tacit understanding after getting used to fighting with his group of old men, but would his habit cause trouble or increase casualties under the current circumstances?

Just when Shang Zhen was about to say something more, the Japanese machine gun fire suddenly came from the woods opposite. The bullet hit a dead soldier and splattered blood.

"You guys are hiding, the Japs are starting to counterattack. They want to keep us all here!" Shang Zhen shouted.
