The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1920 Getting to the bottom of things

As the saying goes, people have two words in their mouths, so sometimes it really depends on how you say things to the same person or the same thing.

Xu Lang, who originally thought highly of himself, now has become wary of Shang Zhen. People who admire Shang Zhen naturally think that Shang Zhen is resourceful, but now in the eyes of Old Xu, Shang Zhen has become a very scheming person.

  However, since Shang Zhen got what he wanted, he didn’t care what Xu Lang thought!

Seeing the Eighth Route Army's team arrive, he was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he whispered a few words to his wife, Leng Xiaozhi. Leng Xiaozhi then stood in front of everyone and asked, "Is there any comrade who knows the specific conditions of Wujiapo's terrain? Please tell us about it to our Northeast Army comrades."

Wujiaopo is the location of Chen Sankan’s lair.

Leng Xiaozhi's speech again caused Xu Lang's secret dissatisfaction.

  It would be fine if you were talking about Wujiaopo, but why do you, Leng Xiaozhi, call your man Shang Zhen a comrade?

In Xu Lang's view, only those who are in the same camp as him can be called comrades.

But he didn't know that there was actually a title of comrade within the National Government, just like the founding father's last words, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

Poor Xu Lang thought he could definitely beat Shang Zhen before he met him.

But now after meeting Shang Zhen, he realized that he is no match for him at all. He himself didn't even realize it. Now he is just like a nagging woman!

How could others know what Xu Lang was thinking? When the people in the district team heard Leng Xiaozhi say this, they thought Shang Zhen was really their comrade.

They were only about sixty or seventy miles away from Wujiaopo, which was not far. Among the team members, there were acquaintances who were bandits in the mountains.

So we cannot say that the District Team has a clear understanding of the enemy situation on Wujiaopo, but the general situation is still not bad.

"There are still more than 60 people killed by Chen San." An older member of the district team began to introduce, "He has been in Wujiapo for many years, about seven or eight years.

It turned out that there was a wealthy family there called Wujiazhuang, and most of the people living there were from that family.

That wealthy family had money and guns, and there were all kinds of traps on the top of the mountain. I went up there at that time.

Later, Chen Sankan occupied that place and I never went there again.

At the peak time, Chen San killed hundreds of people. I heard that he also reinforced the mechanisms and traps.

When he was at his most powerful, he stole a lot of things and moved them all back to the top of the mountain.

But later, because they lost the battle to the Japanese and lost more than half of their troops, they hid on the top of Wujiaopo and refused to come down.

Once, people from our village met bandits who were coming down the mountain. They happened to be from the same village and said that Chen Sankan was recruiting soldiers and planning to make a comeback.

Who knows how he came down the mountain? And you guys beat him to death."

"Tell me about the terrain there." At this time, Wang Chuan interrupted his narration.

"As for the terrain, Wujia Slope actually refers to the southern slope of the mountain where Chen San cut down the bandit's den. Although the mountain is not very high, it has steep cliffs on three sides, and only the southern slope is relatively flat, so it is called Wujia Slope.

The area on the top of the mountain is not small. Although it is flat and not round, it is still several dozen feet long and wide. Its shape is like our "Gou".

"Wait a minute." Shang Zhen interrupted, "You said that the top of the mountain is several dozen feet long. How many dozen feet long is that? Is it north-south wide or east-west wide? Is it twenty or thirty feet long or seventy or eighty feet long?"

  Shang Zhen had to interrupt the team member's story.

Nowadays, Chinese people receive limited education, and the vast majority of people have no education at all.

The so-called "meter" is actually "meter", which is the result of Western education. The traditional Chinese unit of length is "chang".

So the unit of length used by the members of this district team is still zhang, and Shang Zhen has to convert this "zhang" into "m".

  It is said that the effective shooting range of ordinary rifles is within 400 meters, but how can it be changed to zhang? There is no such statement at all!

Therefore, China's current poverty and weakness are not the result of just a few years. Without even the most basic cultural knowledge, the quality of its soldiers is definitely affected.

Shang Zhen would not fight a battle without preparation, so he naturally had to find out exactly how long and wide the top of the mountain was.

"Well, well, how many feet is it?" The older district team member scratched his head.

It's no wonder he was scratching his head. He's almost forty years old and has no education, so naturally what he said wasn't clear.

"Uncle, don't be anxious, take your time to think about it." Leng Xiaozhi encouraged from the side.

"The distance from north to south must be as long as the distance from one end of our village to the other. Hmm, about the same. How many zhang is it?" the team member said. Fortunately, he couldn't figure out exactly how many zhang it was. But he knew the analogy.

"Your village is at least a hundred feet from one end to the other." At this time, the captain of the district team spoke.

At this point, Shang Zhen exclaimed "Oh", and finally had a somewhat intuitive imagination of Wujiaopo.

Then Shang Zhen asked about the terrain around the Wu family. The area at the top of the mountain is so large, so the area at the foot of the mountain must be even larger.

After getting a general idea of ​​the terrain, Shang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, trying not to overreact.

After all, Leng Xiaozhi introduced himself, so he would be the one commanding this battle. If he expressed his opinion inappropriately, it would definitely affect the wartime mood of this district team.

After asking about the situation in Wujiaopo, Shang Zhen looked at the district team of about 40 people.

He knew that it would be impossible to take down Chen Sankan's lair with just the existing forces.

  The terrain of Wujiaopo is dangerous and the marksmanship of these old soldiers is useless. No matter how accurate your marksmanship is, if the enemy doesn't show up, what can you do?

If a strong attack is formed, they might as well not fight, because the gain will outweigh the loss.

The district squad in front of us only has about 10 rifles that can fire, and the rest are all broadswords and red tassel spears. Of course, there are also pistols with single-barreled pistols.

Dujuezi is a kind of pistol made by anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. It can only shoot within 20 to 30 meters, and only one bullet can be loaded into the gun at a time.

When loading, the gun is tilted from the middle and bullets are loaded at the back of the gun. From this feature, it looks quite like a revolver.

However, that thing was useful for scaring traitors and puppet troops in close combat. In a real war, Shang Zhen knew that the thing would be useless.

Of course, they now have the weapons seized from Chen San when he killed the bandits, and they can arm the district team.

  What about the quality of the soldiers? Shang Zhen had doubts in his mind after hearing what the district team member had just said.

"Let me see your entire shooting motion." Shang Zhen grabbed a rifle beside him and threw it to a member of the district team.

The team member took the gun casually, put it on his shoulder and began to aim into the distance.

Shang Zhen didn't care whether the shooting action was standard or not, and then he reminded: "The bolt hasn't been pulled yet."

"Ah? I forgot." The team member blushed. He hurriedly pulled the bolt and explained, "I don't have a gun normally. No, there are few guns and no bullets. I just remember to practice aiming."

Shang Zhen noticed that during this process, not only the members of the district team blushed, but also the team leader and Leng Xiaozhi's faces turned red.

Shang Zhen kept his expression unchanged. He didn't want to embarrass the members of Qu Team because of this.

But at this time, Hou Kanshan spoke up: "Logically, I have no right to speak here, but my little brother, I still want to remind you that your spear training is not up to standard!"

After Hou Kanshan said this, those people from the district team who had not blushed before now blushed, and those who had already blushed naturally became even redder.

"But your comrade Leng Xiaozhi has already said that we are all family members. As long as we are family members, I have to remind you that guns kill people!

When you raise the gun, either he dies or you die, so you can't be careless at all!

Besides, have you all seen the models of the guns I've given you? I've seen six or seven models of these guns, a mess.

The bolt pull is the same for all guns, but I'm afraid you don't know how long each gun is, where the safety of the gun is, and how far each gun can shoot.

Once the gun is handed to you, you have to familiarize yourself with it.

It's like when we kill a pig. If we want to stab the pig to death with one knife, the butcher knife should be at least one foot long. You can't use a half-foot-long stab to kill a pig! That knife can't reach the pig's heart!"

When Hou Kanshan wanted to say something else, Shang Zhen quickly winked at him and said, "That's the truth. Everyone, get familiar with the guns first. Be careful and don't let them go off accidentally!"

Shang Zhen was also a little worried.

Originally, he wanted to find out the situation in Wujiaopo, but now he has found out the bottom line of this district team. Their fighting strength is really disappointing!
