The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2157 Cutting off the Enemy’s Retreat

"Pah pah pah", "Pah pah pah".

The sound of box gun firing was heard in the forest northwest of the village.

As for the specific combat situation, of course the parties involved know best.

But the soldiers who participated in the battle also guessed roughly.

Previously, Chu Tian ordered Chen Hanwen to take a squad to the northern hilltop. The gunshots came from the northwest, which of course meant that Chen Hanwen and his men were also exchanging fire with the Japanese army.

As Chen Hanwen and his men fired their guns, chaotic gunfire rang out throughout the area where the village was located.

Of course, there were always gunshots in the village, as there was also this platoon there.

Of course, Chu Tian and his men in the west would also shoot towards the east.

The Japanese army was caught in a pincer attack and of course they would fire back.

At this moment, Hu Zhuzi, who had reached the southern hilltop, hid behind a tree, aiming at the woods to the west with his rifle.

All he saw were blue-gray tree trunks and no Japanese troops.

The battle was now taking place in the woods. Hu Zhuzihu was being very careful, for who knew which Japanese soldier might be hiding in some bush. He could rush over and get shot by the enemy!

"It seems that there are not many Japanese devils!" Qiaoyouzi, who was also holding a gun, muttered in a low voice.

Although they didn't see any Japanese soldiers at the moment, they could make a judgment by listening to the gunshots of the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army will not have too many troops, but if they seize the hill, their marksmanship will pose a great threat to the village.

"Why don't we just charge forward?" a soldier suggested.

Qiao Youzi was about to respond, but he moved, then stopped and said, "How do you think these little devils came? I guess they came on horseback."

"It must be riding a horse!" Hu Zhuzi responded.

Even Hu Zhuzi can understand this principle.

Suddenly a group of Japanese troops appeared. It was obvious that this group of Japanese troops ran faster than the other Japanese troops. This was a mountainous area and the mountain road could not be said to be rugged, but even a horse-drawn cart would be very bumpy when running.

The only explanation for the Japanese army's arrival here is the Japanese cavalry.

It is very likely that a small group of Japanese cavalry knew that there was a village here, came here on horseback, and then somehow eliminated the sentry on the eastern hilltop!

"I think this is the way to go." Qiaoyouzi thought about it and came up with a new idea, "You guys go over there with your guns, even if you don't see the Japs, you can fire first.

No matter how powerful the Japs were, they knew we had more people. People were shooting at them from the woods on both sides and from inside the village, so they had to run away.

The rest of you follow me, let's go over there and block the Japanese. I think they must have horses."

While Qiaoyouzi was giving advice, his hands were not idle.

It happened that he was leading a class, and he was in the middle of the class. He swiped you to the left with his left hand, and swiped you to the right with his right hand, and he directly separated the team!

"Let's do as you say!" Hu Zhuzi agreed, and naturally others had no objections.

So their group was divided again.

Qiao Youzi led four soldiers and ran south, while the remaining soldiers sneaked into the woods to the west.

Qiaoyouzi had only run a few steps when he felt something in his heart. He turned around and saw Huzhuzi following him, so he asked, "Why are you following me?"

"Damn, as soon as we heard the gunshots, we knew there were not many Japs. We might as well run over here. Maybe we can catch a big foreign horse or something!" Hu Zhuzi replied.

"Don't say you are heartless in the future!" The little oily man was both angry and amused.

"Then you made that move with your hand just now, and I'm not on this side, nor am I on that side. Where should I go? Don't I have the final say?" Hu Zhuzi said with his big, sharp eyes.

"Okay, follow me!" Of course, Qiao Youzi had no way to deal with the tiger pillar.

A few people continued to run in the woods, but when they ran to the end of the woods, they couldn't help but stop.

"Hu Zhuzi, why don't you run away?" Qiao Youzi deliberately asked Hu Zhuzi.

"You idiot, running to an open space?" Hu Zhuzi replied, "If the Japanese came on horseback, could they just tie the horses there? They would have to send someone to watch over them, right?

If we just run out like this, won't we get shot? "

"Fuck, don't say you are a real tiger or a fake tiger from now on!" Qiaoyouzi laughed.

Everyone says Hu Zhuzi is a tiger, but now it seems that Hu Zhuzi is not a complete tiger in battle, he still has combat instincts!

There was an open space in front of us that was about three or four hundred meters wide. At the end of the open space was a small hill, and there were also forests on the hill.

They saw that there was still a forest on their left, and that forest surrounded a large open space in the middle.

Just as Hu Zhuzi analyzed, they really couldn't run to the open ground, so they could only take advantage of the cover of the woods on the left and then go around to the other side.

"Hurry up! Run!" said Qiaoyouzi.

The few people stopped talking, all holding guns, and using the cover of the woods, they desperately began to make a big circle in the gaps between the trees.

Just when they finally finished the circle and ran to the woods in the south, they were all sweating. "It's almost time. I wonder where the Japanese hid the horses?" Qiao Youzi panted.

Just as he finished speaking, a soldier shouted, "Look! There are Japanese soldiers running out from behind!"

Several people looked down the hill above the village, didn't they? Several Japanese soldiers had already rushed out of the woods and ran onto the open space they had bypassed.

Because they had just made a big circle, they were still too far away from the Japanese soldiers, and there was no guarantee of success in shooting at this distance.

"Run, run!" Qiaoyouzi yelled again, and this time several people put all their strength into it, taking advantage of the cover of the woods and running forward desperately.

However, considering the distance between the enemy and us, they can no longer get ahead of the Japanese army when they enter the woods.

Those Japanese soldiers must have run back because they saw that they couldn't defeat their battalion, and they ran quite fast!

But just when Qiao Youzi estimated that his men should be more than 100 meters away from the Japanese army, which was the closest distance at which they could open fire and intercept them, they suddenly heard a horse neighing from the right front!

"There really is a horse!" a soldier shouted.

"On the other side of the mountain!" another soldier judged.

"All of you, shoot at the Japs!

Hu Zhuzi, come with me and let's go and play horse racing!" Qiao Youzi began to assign tasks again.

So the men separated again. The soldiers continued to circle in the woods, while Qiao Youzi and Hu Zhuzi ran desperately in the direction where the horse was shouting, which was the hill.

"It's better to kill the Japanese. I guess those horses are tied up!" Hu Zhuzi said as he ran

"Nonsense! Stop talking nonsense and run!" Qiaoyouzi was really impressed by Hu Zhuzi. He could still talk even after running this far!

Just as Qiaoyouzi and Huzhuzi saw the terrain beginning to rise in a familiar way, they heard the sound of gunfire coming from behind their right.

No need to ask, it was those few people who started shooting at the Japanese army.

The two men no longer cared about what was happening behind them. They were concerned about the horses in front of them. After a while, they finally went around the hill.

But after they went around the hill, what they saw was a mixture of joy and sorrow.

To their delight, they actually saw the Japanese army’s horses.

The Japanese army's war horses were tied up next to the woods at the foot of the small mountain in the east. There seemed to be more than 20 of them.

What made them discouraged was that they were able to see the horses because the woods had come to an end again and there was an open area ahead.

They were still more than 200 meters away from the Japanese war horses!

If the two of them wanted to fight more safely, they had to move forward, but the problem was that the trees were already very sparse.

If the trees were already sparse, it would have been fine, but the two of them didn't find any Japanese soldiers.

If they were told that the Japanese army had attacked the village and that there was no Japanese soldier left to look after the war horses, the two of them really wouldn't believe it.

But if the two of them dared to rush forward now, they would undoubtedly take a huge risk.

After all, I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Given the Japanese army's marksmanship, if the two of them dare to appear at this distance, I will definitely kill them with one shot!

"No, don't run!" Qiaoyouzi said, panting.

He really couldn't run anymore, and during this section in the woods, he and Hu Zhuzi both put out their energy as if they were sprinting a 100-meter race.

"No, I won't run anymore. I can't even breathe evenly, how can I shoot?" Hu Zhuzi also said.

So the two men really did not run away. Instead, they each loaded their rifles and walked forward under the cover of the trees.

After walking for a while, Qiao Youzizi signaled to stop.

We really can't go any further, as the gaps between the trees ahead are already very large.

The two men simply hid behind a tree, put their rifles on their shoulders and aimed at the war horses.

Only after a while, when they had caught their breath, they saw the Japanese army.

The number of Japanese troops was really small, and the two of them only saw five in total.

As for whether some Japanese soldiers stayed behind to look after the horses or ran over from the other side of the village, it didn't matter anymore.

The two men aimed at the Japanese army and pulled the trigger.

At this time, the two of them were only 140 to 150 meters away from the Japanese army.

Each of them shot a Japanese soldier with one shot, which really scared the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Then, when the two of them were pulling the bolts of their guns, the remaining three Japanese soldiers disappeared.

The two men were searching when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. The remaining three Japanese soldiers rushed out of the woods on horseback, not even caring about the remaining horses!

A man's reputation is like his shadow. It seems that these Japanese soldiers were really scared by Shang Zhenying!

Qiaoyouzi and Huzhuzi fired again.

Hu Zhuzi was quite experienced in using rifles. With one shot, he knocked a Japanese soldier off his horse.

But Qiaoyouzi's shot hit a horse's butt.

Who knows whether the bullet hit the horse's butt or just passed by it, and the horse ran even faster!
