The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2161: Reinforcements and Enemies Arrive Simultaneously

Isn’t there another group of cavalry coming in the distance?

With the telescope in his hand, Sun Zhen quickly looked into the distance and immediately shouted, "This time it's the Japanese devils!"

Qian Chuaner quickly asked for the telescope and continued observing.

Isn't it? The cavalrymen who came back this time rode on tall horses and wore khaki clothes. Aren't they the Japanese cavalrymen?

"Look at the direction they are running, they are chasing the Eighth Route Army." Qian Chuaner said as he observed.

"How do you know they are chasing the Eighth Route Army? Who can guarantee that the Eighth Route Army in front are not wearing fake uniforms? The Japanese and the traitors are jointly performing a self-torture trick to trick us?" Qin Chuan analyzed.

After Qin Chuan said this, Qian Chuan'er stopped moving.

Yes, they couldn’t be sure that those people in front were the Eighth Route Army. What if it was a self-torture trick played by the enemy?

The group of Eighth Route Army in front of them just now, let's call it the Eighth Route Army, ran past them more than 200 meters ahead.

Qian Chuan'er and his men also rode horses this time, but they tied the horses in the woods. So when the Eighth Route Army ran over, they naturally couldn't find them. I think the same is true for the Japanese troops that are rushing over now.

"I don't think there should be the Eighth Route Army ahead." Wang Xiaodan also spoke up, "There are Japanese cavalry everywhere, looking for us everywhere. So, is there really an Eighth Route Army riding over here? Wouldn't they have been discovered by the Japanese devils long ago?"

"That makes sense." Qian Chuan'er also analyzed, "But can you guarantee that the group of people in front are really not the Eighth Route Army?"

This time it was Wang Xiaodan's turn to remain silent.

Yes, they are all guessing now, but human lives are at stake, how can such things be relied upon guessing?

"We don't know whether the Eighth Route Army is real or not, but the Japanese behind us are definitely real. Why don't we fight them?" Wu Ziqi also put forward his own opinion.

"Yes, it's always right to fight the Japanese!" Sun Zhen agreed.

But Qin Chuan retorted: "When we fight the Japanese, can we ensure that we kill all of them? If we don't kill all of them, our position will be exposed. It doesn't matter if we are exposed, but our battalion will be exposed as well."

Well, after Qin Chuan said this, all of them became confused again.

All in all, there is still one problem, that is, they cannot confirm the identity of the Eighth Route Army in the front.

"Forget it, let's wait and see whether Liu Keqiang and the others will fight or not." Qian Chuan'er said helplessly.

The others kept silent, so there was nothing else to do.

They all lay there, watching the Japanese cavalry squad running past them at a distance of more than 300 meters.

Then from time to time they looked at the hill that was far away from them. Liu Keqiang was on that hill with a group of people.

But who knows what Liu Keqiang and his men were thinking? Anyway, there was no gunfire from that hilltop, and that hilltop was about 300 to 400 meters away from the small group of Japanese cavalry.

Soon the Japanese army ran over, and Qian Chuaner and his men were busy changing positions in the woods on the hill. They had to follow the Japanese army, otherwise they would not be able to see them.

When they turned to their left rear and the woods on the hilltop no longer blocked their view, they saw the two groups of cavalry again, one in front and one behind.

The terrain they were facing now was also open. From their position, it was no problem to see several miles away, but the two groups of cavalry had now turned into black dots.

Qian Chuan looked ahead and suddenly said, "This time I have a trick!"

Everyone asked, "What's the trick?"

"Do you think those people in front can escape the Japanese pursuit?" Qian Chuan'er asked back.

When Qian Chuan'er asked this question, the veterans beside him immediately reacted.

Yes, even though the cavalry in front had already run past for a while, they still had to turn around and run back. Of course, if the other side was really the Eighth Route Army. The reason here was the terrain where Shang Zhenying was hiding.

Given that the Japanese army was constantly searching for them, the greatest threat was posed by the Japanese cavalry.

Therefore, the area surrounding the place where Shang Zhenying was hiding this time was covered with dense bushes and short trees. The infantry could certainly come over, and the cavalry could also run out if they carefully looked for the path.

However, like the Eighth Route Army cavalry that just ran over, they were not familiar with the terrain at all, and the possibility of them going directly through the bushes was basically small.

As long as they turned around, wouldn't they be heading upwards with the Japanese troops chasing behind them? As long as they went upwards, it would be clear that they were enemies!

"But if you do this, and the people in front are really ours, what if we suffer a loss?" Wu Ziqi asked.

"If he is really one of ours, he will definitely not suffer any harm!" Qian Chuan'er answered firmly.

Wu Ziqi was stunned for a moment when he heard Qian Chuan'er say this, but then he reacted: "Yes, there are still some of our people in that grass nest. If the two groups fight, our people will definitely help."

Considering that their battalion was ambushed by the Japanese devils in the village last time, they learned a lesson this time.

Qian Chuan'er and Liu Keqiang each led a group of people to form the outermost guard. However, there were still sentries in the bushes between them and their camp, and there was even a squad there!

If the group that ran over first was really the Eighth Route Army, they would definitely fight with the Japanese army.

There was no way those men from their battalion who were hiding in the bushes would not take part in the battle.

The Japanese cavalry was a small group, only about 20 horses in total. As soon as the gunshots were heard in the bushes, the Japanese cavalry's small force would not be able to fight against them and would definitely have to run back.

Then how could the Eighth Route Army in front suffer losses?

After this discussion, Qian Chuan'er and his men finally felt relieved. They put their rifles up one by one and lay there watching the fight between the two tigers.

However, now that the two cavalry groups in front had run far away, they could no longer see clearly whether the two groups were moving.

But the answer became clear soon, they really heard gunshots!

They continued to watch, and after a while, they saw that the Japanese troops who had just run past actually came back on horseback.

"It seems that there are fewer Japanese devils!" Wang Xiaodan judged.

"It seems to be of no use! Are you sure whether there is less or not?" Wu Ziqi disagreed.

At that time, the Japanese cavalry were running past quickly and were still more than 300 meters away from them.

When the Japanese cavalry were galloping on their horses, it was impossible for them to form a long snake formation. Some of the horses were running side by side.

They could only estimate that the Japanese army had more than 20 war horses, but no one knew how many enemies there were exactly, whether it was 19, 21, or 23.

"It's definitely less!" Qian Chuan'er, who was watching with a telescope, said amid the gunfire.

"How many are missing?" Wu Ziqi asked.

"At least one is missing." Qian Chuan'er answered confidently, "Because I saw a little Japanese soldier being knocked off his horse!"

When Qian Chuan'er said this, everyone laughed.

But then all the smiles disappeared and everyone started to push the bolts of their rifles because the Japanese army was approaching.

"Don't shoot yet. Let's fight together when the Japs are closest to us." Qian Chuan'er said, looking at the running Japanese warhorse.
