The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2198: Unwilling to Give Up

"crack" "crack"

Two gunshots were heard from the direction of the woods by the river.

And at the same time as the gunshot was heard, the stem of a bush in the bush opposite was broken and its leaves fell.

In the distance, there was a hare with its two big ears erect, listening vigilantly, and then suddenly ran away.

And this scene happened to appear in the field of vision of a Japanese soldier.

This Japanese soldier was one of the three remaining Japanese soldiers on this side of the river.

The current comparison of the enemy's and our military strength is obvious, 3:1, and neither side is willing to show up, and the stalemate has been going on for some time.

But this was just an appearance. After discussion, the three Japanese soldiers decided to reduce the living space of the Chinese veteran.

Yes, the tactical awareness displayed by the opponent is undoubtedly that of a veteran.

They did not expect to kill the Chinese veteran, but they could restrict him to a certain range of activities.

Time will only be more advantageous to the Imperial Japanese Army, because they still have their companions on the other side of the river. Although none of the remaining people can swim, they will always find a way to cross the river.

The reason why the scene just now appeared in the field of vision of this Japanese soldier was only because he climbed up a tree.

With the cover of the tree's branches, he climbed to the middle of the tree's trunk and stepped on a big branch. Then he looked towards the small bush, and his vision became wider.

If he got closer, that small patch of bushes should be several meters in radius, but from his perspective now it was only the size of a palm.

He didn't notice anything unusual in the bushes, such as a "human" shape appearing where someone was lying on the bushes and pressed down.

And the Japanese soldier didn't believe that the other side would always squat in the bushes.

It is certainly difficult for a person to maintain this posture for a long time.

The Japanese soldier turned his eyes into a ruler and measured the bushes he could see inch by inch.

But when he saw a certain place behind the bushes, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then he either opened his eyes wide or squinted them, and just kept looking at that place.

They are only about a hundred meters away from the bushes, which is why neither the enemy nor our side dares to show up.

A distance of about one hundred meters is not far, but the Japanese soldier still discovered that the point he was staring at was different in color from other places.

It was summer, and most places were covered with green grass and vegetation, but the spot he saw was the color of soil!

That point can only be seen from a hundred meters away, but if you get closer, you will find that it is a passage that is as short as it can be dug out by someone. Although it is only two or three meters away, it successfully passes through a dirt ridge.

After a person climbs over the ridge, he can continue to climb further away with the cover of the ridge. Although he will lose the cover of the small patch of bushes, he can avoid being discovered by the Japanese troops in the woods.

"****", the Japanese soldier shouted. The other party had escaped and he suddenly realized his own danger.

And just at this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out in the distance.

"Bang, bang, bang", some bullets really hit the tree where the Japanese soldier was, and one bullet hit right next to his hand. The Japanese soldier even felt the burning heat when the bullet hit the tree trunk!

"what!"

The Japanese soldier screamed, let go and fell from the tree.

He wasn't shot, he was just afraid of being shot.

After all, the tree was not very thick, and the root was only as thick as two bowls, while the waist of this Japanese soldier was much thicker than that! This Japanese soldier didn't even take up his gun, and the reason was very simple. Such a tree could support his hundreds of pounds, but when he climbed to half of his waist, the tree couldn't help shaking.

If there is even the slightest shake, the bullet will be thousands of miles away from the target.

The Japanese soldier fell from the tree out of fear. He was only two meters above the ground, which was not enough to hurt him badly.

But he jumped down in such a hurry that he didn't look down, and a big branch happened to hit him between his legs.

With that he let out an "Ah!" and rolled his head down under the tree, and the branch was pushed up by him and finally broke with a "crack".

Shang Zhen, who was hiding behind a tree in the distance, naturally saw the Japanese soldier being shot down under the tree by his short burst of fire. He was naturally proud and retracted his head.

What he was thinking now was, when fighting the Japanese like this, is it better to kill them directly or to hit their crotch against the tree branches?

The former will of course reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness to zero, while the latter will keep their combat effectiveness but will reduce their descendants to zero.

Logically speaking, the former is of course the best, but why does he feel that the latter is more enjoyable?

After hiding in the bushes and confronting the remaining three Japanese soldiers, Shang Zhen realized that his situation was not very good.

If there were only three Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, Shang Zhen wouldn't mind fighting with them to the end.

But as a veteran, how could Shang Zhen not think that the other side would have reinforcements, and he is an old brother.

No matter how good you are at fighting, you can only fight guerrilla warfare. You have to ensure that you can move and stay alive instead of being blocked somewhere by the Japanese army.

As a combatant, when Shang Zhen decided to flank the five Japanese soldiers, he did not notice that the terrain behind the bushes was not conducive to his retreat.

When the confrontation occurred, he observed the terrain and found the ridge of earth. He took out the only digging tool he could use so far - the small knife, and began to dig the earth like a mouse digging a hole.

This is an honest process, one without any shortcuts.

As a veteran, Shang Zhen knew very well that defeating the Japanese invaders required not only tactical skills, but also the quality of never taking shortcuts.

In fact, this is not just a quality of Shang Zhen. The entire Chinese army possesses this quality, provided they have faith and organized leadership.

As a foreign journalist later said when talking about his impression of a Chinese volunteer army, the Chinese army was digging fortifications desperately whenever they had time!

Yes, facing the enemy's superior firepower and the torrent of steel and dimensionality-reducing attacks, if you don't have this kind of spirit like an ant gnawing at a bone, how can you fight against it?

When Shang Zhen hid behind the bushes under the cover of the earthen ridge, he heard the two shots fired by the Japanese army.

He judged that the Japanese army fired shots for two purposes: one was to test him and expose himself, and the other was to possibly alert the Japanese army on the other side of the river to their location.

But this time Shang Zhen was careful. He paid special attention to the terrain behind him. The terrain was still flat, but there were more woods than open areas. If he went south, he could still avoid the Japanese army.

Going south would mean going deeper into HEN Province, but so what? If we wanted to return to the base, it would be better to walk a few more steps than to run into the Japanese directly, right?

Shang Zhen was thinking and felt hungry. He was not in a hurry to leave. He glanced at the movements of the Japanese army from a distance and found food in his bag and started eating.

By now Shang Zhen was no longer in danger of survival, but he did not run away.

He wanted to see what the Japanese army would do next.

As long as their own safety is ensured, the Japanese devils should kill as many as possible.
