The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2165 Unsolved Mystery

It was getting dark, and the sky was dotted with stars.

A very low whisper was heard from the ambush position just outside the village.

"If salt is not salty, make acetic acid. Old Cheng, you have to be polite when talking to Xu Lang." This is Qian Chuaner's voice.

"Fuck, once I see him, I stop being annoyed by others!" This is Cheng Peng's voice.

"It's useless to be polite to him. He's a bear. Even if you are polite to him, he will still tell on you, right?" Liu Keqiang, who was always steady, also joined in.

Qian Chuaner remained silent.

It's really like that. Everyone in Shang Zhen's camp is annoyed with Xu Lang. He can't do any good, but he comes to do bad things.

Originally, when Chu Tian first proposed the method of using fire attack, Zhao Zilong's expression made him agree.

But who would have thought that you, Xu Lang, would violate military discipline.

After Xu Lang said this, Zhao Zilong could only say that it was inappropriate.

But, so what? Why do some people call a pistol "a strong weapon on the waist"? That's because whoever has a real weapon on his waist can speak in a strong way.

It was useless for Xu Chang to say anything because he could not command Shang Zhenying at all, and Shang Zhenying was not under his jurisdiction.

In order to implement his own battle plan, Chu Tian not only stated that his camp was no longer under the command of Xu Lang, but also no longer under the command of Zhao Zilong!

In order to implement his battle plan, Chu Tian said this at the time.

"Although we have joined the Eighth Route Army, you are not our superiors, and we have the final say on how to fight.

Moreover, to eliminate this group of Japanese and puppet troops, you cavalry company can shoot if you want, or just watch from the side if you don’t want to. Then all the captured spoils will be given to you!

Don't tell me that this is a violation of discipline. If we attack head-on, there will definitely be casualties.

Or even if there are no casualties and we kill the enemy sentry, we still have to throw grenades into the house, right?

Who among you can guarantee that throwing grenades will not blow down civilians' houses or walls?

Instead, we used fire attack and set the whole house on fire. That would burn down the roof, but the walls would remain!

At worst, after the Japanese leave, our entire battalion will come over and help build houses for the common people."

Now that Chu Tian has said so, how can Xu Lang object?

Moreover, Chu Tian also said that this matter was not Zhao Zilong's responsibility, so even if it violated the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, it had nothing to do with Zhao Zilong.

He also promised to give the spoils to Zhao Zilong and the Eighth Route Army, so wouldn't Zhao Zilong and his men have it ready? How could Zhao Zilong possibly object?

At this time, in another direction of the village, Chu Tianzheng was with Zhao Zilong and Fang Zheng.

Chu Tian used arson to burn down the houses in the village, which naturally allowed the people from his own camp and Zhao Zilong's cavalry company to surround the village.

"Isn't it too early for you to send people out now?" Even though Zhao Zilong was a veteran, he was still a little worried.

The reason was that he just realized that Chu Tian had actually sent out the soldiers to light the fire.

And what time is it now? It has only been dark for an hour.

According to normal thinking, if you want to attack the enemy at night, even if you want to set fire, you should wait until the second half of the night. After all, by then the enemy's vigilance will be weakened and the sentries will also be sleepy.

But now——

Although the location of the village was also pitch black without any light, everyone could imagine that at this time of year, the Japanese and puppet troops might stare at the darkness with their eyes wide open, but it was unlikely that they could fall asleep.

"Captain Zhao, don't worry.

We can't say that we have an easy win in this kind of battle, but normally there shouldn't be any other problems." Chu Tian tried to express his meaning in the most euphemistic way possible.

However, no matter how tactful his words were, they still revealed a kind of arrogance that was unique to Shang Zhenying.

At this point, what else could Zhao Zilong say? He could only lie in the dark and observe the village ahead.

What I was thinking in my mind was, what kind of abilities did those soldiers sent by Chu Tian to kill the enemy sentries and then set fire have?

It should be very difficult to find the enemy's sentinels in the dark.

However, to Zhao Zilong's surprise, while he was still thinking anxiously, he suddenly saw fire in the village!

However, the fire started from a house in the middle of the village, and the specific situation was blocked by the house. How could he know what was going on?

"Prepare for battle!" People were whispering in the darkness surrounding the village, and then there was the sound of gun bolts being pulled.

And as the sound of the bolt was being pulled, looking inside the village, there was not just one fire, but several!

They had killed the enemy sentry without anyone noticing? The veteran Zhao Zilong was shocked.

Just as he was shocked, gunshots were heard in the village.

But compared to the fire, the gunshot came too late. When the fire started, it couldn't hold up the more than 20 houses, and more than half of them were set on fire! So the village became bright in an instant.

But at this moment, Zhao Zilong suddenly cried out "Oh no" in his heart.

Since Chu Tian was the one who planned to set fire to the house, he did not participate.

But now Zhao Zilong suddenly thought, the houses were indeed on fire, but how did the soldiers who were responsible for setting fire to the houses get out?

The fire was bright, and the soldiers were running out of the village. They could naturally see them hiding in the dark outside.

But the Japanese and puppet troops in the village should also be able to see it, so wouldn’t those soldiers be in danger?

Wouldn’t those soldiers become a suicide squad?

As Zhao Zilong was thinking about it, he saw someone really running towards them with the fire in the village as the background!

"Don't shoot, these are our people!" Chu Tian shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, Zhao Zilong's heart ached.

I'm telling you not to launch the attack too early!

Now that the fire has started, the Japanese and puppet troops running out of the house should be able to see these soldiers!

But then, something happened that surprised Zhao Zilong.

He remembered that Chu Tian sent out a total of four soldiers, and there were exactly four people running out of the village.

However, just after the four people rushed out of the village, one of them suddenly disappeared.

Although there was light from the fire behind, Zhao Zilong couldn't tell where the man had gone!

Then, the second, third, and fourth soldiers disappeared one after another.

Without a doubt, the situation before him gave Zhao Zilong a weird feeling, as if the four arson warriors disappeared out of thin air just like Tuxingsun who could burrow into the earth!

Then, Zhao Zilong was still wondering where the four soldiers had gone. Did they lie down where they were? At this time, under the light of the fire in the village, the Japanese and puppet troops appeared.

Sure enough, just as Chu Tian had previously deduced, since the houses in this small village were very close to each other, as long as the houses caught fire, the space between the houses would be impossible for people to stay in!

So, what else could the Japanese army do except run away from the village?

Almost at the same time, sounds of "beating" people were heard around the village, followed by a chaotic sound of gunfire.

Zhao Zilong didn't see clearly, who knew how many Japanese and puppet troops ran out from his direction? Five or six, or seven or eight?

Anyway, at the moment when the chaotic gunfire rang out, he saw the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were running out were shot and fell to the ground. In an instant, all the enemies were hit!

The thatched house is on fire, how can it be fast?

As long as the fire spreads to the house, there is no way to save it, and the Japanese and puppet troops will not come to rescue it!

In a blink of an eye, the fire in the village became bright, illuminating the entire sky red!

As the fire grew, more and more Japanese and puppet troops ran out of the village with guns in hand.

But without exception, anyone who dared to rush out of the village and show up was knocked to the ground.

At this point, Zhao Zilong was no longer surprised at the abundant ammunition in the Shang camp, but at the marksmanship of these veterans.

The place where they were hiding was at least two hundred meters away from the village.

However, these 200 meters became an insurmountable distance for the Japanese and puppet troops rushing out of the village.

Only those guys could run 10 meters? 20 meters? Certainly not even 30 meters, and they were all knocked to the ground, so that Zhao Zilong hardly saw the gunfire from the Japanese puppet troops shooting at them!

In other words, the Japanese and puppet troops were attacked as soon as they appeared in the firelight.

Zhao Zilong also saw that some puppet soldiers ran out of the village with guns raised in both hands.

Of course, Zhao Zilong was very familiar with the actions of the puppet army!

The puppet troops had a weak fighting spirit and wanted to surrender as soon as they saw the situation was not right.

However, Shang Zhenying did not give the puppet soldiers any chance to surrender. When the gunshots rang out, the puppet soldiers were shot and fell down.

This is the situation on their side, and I think it's the same in other directions!

Only ten minutes later, the small village turned into a sea of ​​fire, and at this moment, a Japanese soldier suddenly rushed out screaming.

The guy screamed so miserably because he was on fire!

It seems that this guy was born at the wrong time. He originally wanted to hide in the village, but he couldn't stand the scorching flames so he had to rush out. Being beaten to death is better than being burned to death!

What happened next was exactly as he wished. After a few gunshots, the Japanese soldier fell down in the flames.

And this Japanese soldier turned out to be the last enemy to die in this battle.

After that, no more Japanese and puppet troops rushed out!

Did the battle end just like that? Somehow, this real battle gave Zhao Zilong, a veteran soldier, a feeling of being in a dream, as if it was not real.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Chu Tian shouted, "Go!"

So, the soldiers of Shang Zhen’s camp, who had been hiding in the dark, picked up their rifles and began to march towards the village.

Zhao Zilong also hurriedly followed.

Now he still has a mystery in his mind, that is, where did those soldiers who set the fire hide, or have they already died.
