The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2167: Disaster Moves Southward (Part )

"Okay, stop fighting, leave a few for them!" Qian Chuaner called out from the woods.

"This is the first time we've encountered something like this!" An Eighth Route Army soldier complained, but he finally put his gun back.

So, their group of more than 20 people retreated to the south side of the woods.

On the southern side of the woods there were more than twenty war horses.

Qian Chuan'er and the others untied the reins tied to the tree trunk, then jumped on their horses and ran south.

Naturally, it was Qian Chuan and his men who attacked the group of Japanese and puppet troops in front. Together with Qian Chuan were some soldiers including Zhao Zilong, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army cavalry.

Qian Chuan'er naturally didn't know that there was a puppet soldier named Erzi in front of him. He didn't care about that. What he cared about was to defeat the Japanese army almost completely.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army soldiers felt regretful.

Why not fight when you can wipe out the enemy completely?

That's because as news of the Eighth Route Army continued to arrive, the number of Japanese and puppet troops had increased and they were all heading in their direction.

So they must not continue fighting now and cannot delay the overall situation by killing a few more Japanese devils. They need living Japanese and puppet troops to inform the enemy.

So, in the eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops at this time, they knew that the attack came from the right side, that is, the woods in the south.

But now they can only shoot randomly and can't chase after them immediately

The reason was that in the cold gun attack, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, who originally numbered more than 20 people, were knocked down.

None of the puppet soldiers died, but puppet soldiers are puppet soldiers. How could they risk their lives to pursue the enemy?

Seeing that there were no more gunshots in the woods, the puppet soldiers were still firing randomly. At this time, the remaining Japanese soldiers began to shout.

The puppet soldiers looked at what the Japanese soldiers were gesturing and knew that it was undoubtedly a signal for them to catch up.

The second son was scolded by the puppet army leader again. He had no choice but to get up reluctantly.

Seeing that the second son had stood up, although he was bent over, there was still no gunfire from the woods. The puppet soldiers then climbed up and headed towards the woods.

The remaining Japanese soldiers naturally followed, and they even ignored the two wounded soldiers who were wailing on the ground.

They must keep a close eye on Shang Zhenying's "tail" and eventually allow the Japanese army to destroy this truly difficult Chinese army.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops did not know at that time that on their left wing, on a hill a few hundred meters away from them, there were Chinese soldiers looking in this direction through binoculars.

That soldier was the one-armed Ma Tianfang.

"The Japs are gone!" When Ma Tianfang confirmed that the Japanese and puppet troops were chasing Qian Chuaner and his men, he turned around and said.

Just below this hill, there were several horse-drawn carriages parked. In one of the carriages sat Wang Laomao, Bian Xiaolong and a few other people from Shang Zhenying who were not in good health, as well as a few Eighth Route Army soldiers.

The other carriages were loaded with dead horses! The dead horses on the carriages were the Japanese war horses that were killed by Shang Zhenying and the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Company in the previous battle.

It is winter now. If we leave the war horses to die in the wilderness, they will only benefit the Japanese devils in the end.

So they simply loaded all the dead horses onto the carriage and hid them here.

Now, since the Japanese and puppet troops are chasing Qian Chuan'er and his men, the Japanese army thinks they have caught the shadow of Shang Zhenying and will no longer search in this direction.

Then those dead war horses would also become rations for the Chinese army.

Gunshots rang out intermittently in the fields.

The people sent out by Shang Zhenying were definitely not just Qian Chuan'er's group. There were other people a few miles to the left and right of Qian Chuan'er and Zhao Zilong.

Not surprisingly, they collided with the Japanese and puppet troops, and naturally an exchange of fire ensued.

After six or seven minutes, Qian Chuaner, Zhao Zilong and others reached the top of a hill.

Zhao Zilong looked at Qian Chuaner and other soldiers from Shang Zhen’s camp with great admiration.

He admired Qian Chuan'er not only because Qian Chuan'er knew how to ride a horse, but also because it was the first time he discovered that there was a way to fight the Japanese!

After dark yesterday, Qian Chuan'er and his men set fire to the village and drove out all the Japanese and puppet troops inside. Zhao Zilong wondered what happened to those soldiers who set the fire? Why did they suddenly disappear?

After the battle was over, he learned that several soldiers who had set the fire had run out of the village and actually "ran" directly to the well at the entrance of the village.

There was a rope around the well with a broken bucket tied underneath, but they grabbed the rope and hid in the well!

When he was watching from a distance, didn't he see those soldiers suddenly disappear? Those soldiers were hiding by the wall of the well, holding the rope!

In this way, they did not have to worry about accidentally injuring their own people, nor did they have to worry about being shot by Japanese troops rushing out of the village.

Of course, perhaps some Japanese soldiers would notice that they had entered the well.

However, under the bright light of the fire, the Japanese and puppet troops who rushed out of the village became sitting ducks as soon as they showed their heads, and had no chance to attack the well at all.

But weren't those soldiers afraid that the rope would break? They were afraid, but they still had bayonets in their hands, so they stabbed the bayonets into the wall of the barrel and used the force to temporarily hide there.

Shandong has started to warm up now, and what's more, the water below the well is not frozen.

Not to mention the wells in Shandong won’t freeze in winter, even the wells in Northeast China won’t freeze in winter!

As for the scientific reason, I won't explain it. Just imagine, if it's frozen down there, where would the water come from? So they stuck the bayonet directly into the well wall that was not frozen!

He was holding the bayonet in one hand and the rope in the other, so of course he was not afraid of falling!

Zhao Zilong thought of himself as a veteran, but he never expected Qian Chuan'er and the others would use such a method!

And then he was able to think that it was impossible that the soldiers of Shang Zhenying would only think of looking for a well when they ran out of the village.

They discovered the well before it got dark, so setting fire to the village and then running into the well was all part of their plan.

But last night Zhao Zilong also asked those soldiers, how did you know there was a rope in the well? If there was no rope in the well, wouldn't you have fallen into the well in the middle of winter?

But people’s answer was, we don’t know if there is a rope in the well, but each of us has brought leggings. If there is no rope in the well, we can tie the leggings to the water-drawing windlass and go down anyway!

What does it mean that there is no false reputation under a great name?

The news that Shang Zhenying could fight the Japanese had spread all over the Lunan Military Sub-district. This was a very clever move! It was so clever that most people would never have thought of it!

How could Zhao Zilong not admire him?

And now, under the suggestion of Shang Zhenying, in view of the fact that the enemy is strong and we are weak, they have come up with a new idea, which is to lure the Japanese and puppet troops who have heard the news to the south!

Zhao Zilong was just thinking about it when Qian Chuan'er spoke up: "Our people are here, hurry up and gather together, we want to make a bigger noise so that the Japanese devils will be fooled!"
