Chapter 979 Whimsical

"You guys, it's so boring. I'm beating up the cannon in front of you alone, and none of you go out to look for me?" Half an hour later, Shang Zhen, who had just returned from the front, was dissatisfied with the people on the hill. the soldiers said.

"Hehe, aren't we thinking that the commander is very capable? Our group of people went there just to increase casualties and cause chaos to the commander." Old Qiuzi said with a salivated face.

"Fuck, I guess my old gang thought the same way, otherwise I wouldn't have come here." Shang Zhen said angrily, and his words were met with embarrassed "hehehehe" .

Shang Zhen originally planned to retreat from the hill where the Japanese troops were ambushed in front, but he saw that the Japanese tanks only fired at the hill. The tanks neither moved forward nor did the Japanese infantry come over, so he then He stayed there and observed.

In the end, the Japanese tanks did not come over but ran south.

While Shang Zhen and the others were avoiding the tank fire, the gunshots at the other end of the woods were still ringing at intervals. Apparently, the fighting at the other end had not stopped.

Normally, the Japanese attack on the Chinese defenders' positions was like a tide, one after another, but there was a relative calm between the two attacks.

Shang Zhen was also curious about why the gunfire between the enemy and us was so constant. What kind of combat situation is it between the enemy and ourselves?

However, his wish came true. Before returning from the hill in front, he finally knew what the Japanese tanks were here to do.

The two Japanese tanks heading south were naturally participating in the attack, but that was not what Shang Zhen saw, but what he heard.

The tank was rumbling from north to south across the woods from Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen was not deaf, so how could he not hear it?

However, then he saw the tanks, because when the two tanks appeared again, they were already in the woods to the south.

In the telescope, Shang Zhen saw that the two Japanese tanks were ramming into the small trees in the woods that should not be very thick.

These two tanks were equipped with cannons and were obviously much larger than the small Japanese tanks he had seen before, so they broke the thinner trees!

In this way, the view to the southwest from the hill in front was clear, so Shang Zhen finally saw traces of the Chinese army in the distance through the telescope.

Moreover, Shang Zhen also saw a corner of the water, where the Chinese army fought in the highlands near the water.

It turns out that the enemy and us should only be separated by a large piece of water. The Japanese army couldn't attack it, so they kept shooting at the Chinese army across the water!

Thinking of this, Shang Zhen could imagine the scene on the water.

There is a piece of water between China and Japan. The width of the water should be about four to five hundred meters, and both enemy and friendly bullets can hit it.

But the water will never be too deep. According to Shang Zhen's estimation, the water may not even reach Bullegail.

Because, if the water was deep, there would be no need for the Japanese army to exchange fire with the Chinese army. They should find ways to get boats and rafts to cross the river.

Because the water was shallow, boats and rafts were not used, but the Japanese army would never wade through it.

Just imagine, there are dozens of acres of water with no cover on it. If the Japanese army dares to enter the water without any obstruction, it will be a living target!

Perhaps the terrain north of the water was not ideal, so the Japanese army came up with the idea of ​​​​locating the heavy machine gun position at the end of the woods, and the owners of the two tanks were there to clear obstacles for the heavy machine gun.

As for how the Japanese tanks helped the Japanese army, Shang Zhen no longer looked at it. It was estimated that the Japanese tanks could only bombard the front and couldn't rush through the water, so he ran back.

Everyone saw that although Shang Zhen blamed them all for leaving him alone, but then returned to normal, they knew that Shang Zhen had just said that, so a new topic soon emerged.

"We finally robbed a big guy, let's use the heavy machine gun to give the little devil a few hits!" The old man squatted behind the heavy machine gun, holding the handle of the machine gun with both hands and said with great interest.

"If you want to fight, how should you fight? There are woods blocking it." Ma Erpao said.

"That's not right. If there are woods blocking the way, then why did the kid bring the heavy machine gun to our place?" At this moment, Li Qingfeng thought of this problem. Of course, he only just thought of it.

"The little devil's tank broke a lot of trees on our end." Only then did Shang Zhen say.

Everyone said "Oh" in unison, and only now did they understand the reason why the Japanese army moved the heavy machine guns here.

"Japan's industry is still very powerful, so it turns out this is okay." A soldier sighed, but he also lamented the common sentiment of everyone.

There is a special term in later generations called "dimensionality reduction strike". Today, Japan is already an industrialized country. For an agricultural country like China with weak industry and almost no industry, wouldn't that be a dimensionality reduction strike?

However, now that the weapons produced by the so-called Empire of Japan have finally reached the hands of soldiers from agricultural countries, how should they use them?

"How can we do this?" The old man muttered worriedly while touching the heavy machine gun, "We don't have tanks and can't hit the trees, and the little devil is hiding at the other end of the woods, so he can't hit him!"

After a while, he said again: "It would be great if bullets could jump through the woods!"

"You think that bullet has legs and can jump like you!" Qingfeng Li said angrily.

To say that Big Boss is such a nagging person, Li Qingfeng also complained because of Big Boss's naivety.

Unexpectedly, Shang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Theoretically speaking, the bullet can really 'jump' through the woods, but we don't know where it will jump."

"What? Can bullets 'jump' through the woods?" Ma Erpao's eyes widened.

Why doesn't he believe that bullets can bounce through the woods?

When Shang Zhen said this, not only Ma Erpao didn't believe it, but also the vast majority of the soldiers.

"When the bullet is fired, the trajectory is straight, right? Then do you think that if the bullet keeps missing people, it will keep flying?" Shang Zhen asked.

"How is that possible?" a group of soldiers asked in unison.

"The bullets will fall off when they stop flying." Ma Erpao replied.

"Then let's shoot in the sky. As long as we find a good position, will the bullets fly through the woods and fall down?" Shang Zhen asked again.

"Then - it will definitely fall, but -" Ma Erpao replied hesitantly. He felt that what Shang Zhen said made sense, but he felt that something was wrong.

"That spot is not easy to find, is it? Sir, can you find it?" Lu Yifei asked thoughtfully.

"I don't know how to look for it. Who knows how far the bullets from the Japs' heavy machine guns will fly before they fall, but what's the point? I know how to cause trouble!" Shang Zhen suddenly laughed.
