The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2200: Stirring up a hornet's nest (I)

It was the next morning when Shang Zhen appeared again.

Of course, he didn't know whether the Japanese devil he killed was a high-ranking officer in the Japanese army, or how high his rank was.

But there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers standing there on the other side of the river, so after firing his gun, he naturally fled again.

As for the fact that the Japanese troops on the other side fired at him in unison and broke all the grass and trees at his original location, so what?

Seeing that the Japanese army was making quite a noise, Shang Zhen ran far to the south and found a place to hide. This morning, when he saw that there was no movement, he sneaked out. He planned to go back.

There was still a lot of dew in the mountains in the morning, and Shang Zhen's trouser legs were already wet after only walking in the woods for a while.

With so much dew, it was no different from him jumping into the river. His shoes soon made a gurgling sound again.

In desperation, Shang Zhen walked towards the edge of the woods, but just as he was about to step out of the woods, he heard a gunshot in the distance.

Shang Zhen subconsciously shrank back and looked in the direction of the gunshot.

The gunshots were too far away for him to see anything, but he did see smoke rising in the distance; there actually was a village there.

Yesterday he was worried that the Japanese army was chasing him, so he ran south through the woods by the river. It was normal that he could not see the village outside the woods.

Now he was heading back to Shandong, and when he reached the edge of the woods he discovered there was a village.

Could it be that the Japanese had entered the village and killed people just to find him? Shang Zhen pondered and observed, and finally decided to go out and take a look.

This is Shang Zhen’s character.

He was soft-hearted and he really didn't want the people here to suffer losses because of his own reasons.

Of course, he also understood that if he got entangled with the Japanese army again, his plan to return to Shandong would have to be delayed for a few days.

But then again, Shang Zhen thought, if they can't protect the people, what's the point of being soldiers? If we don't fight the devils, we can't let the people fight with hoes, right?

There was no advantageous place on the plain terrain here, so he could only move towards the village under the cover of wormwood and trees.

When he was more than a mile away from the village, he saw that the smoke from the village had disappeared, and was replaced by thick smoke!

No need to think, the Japanese have entered the village!

Shang Zhen ran towards the village while thinking, he didn't know how many Japanese devils had come this time.

When he was more than 400 meters away from the village, he saw Japanese troops appearing at the entrance of the village.

Although it was a bit far away, Shang Zhen swears to God that he actually heard the "clucking" sound of an old hen. That Japanese devil was actually chasing a chicken!

At this point, Shang Zhen still had no reason to hesitate. He might as well fire his gun first to lure the Japanese out!

He immediately pulled the bolt and lay on the ground with the rifle against his shoulder.

The Japanese soldier had no idea that a gun was pointed at him and was screaming as he chased the chicken.

Who knows if the chicken has some special ability that it knows there is a way to survive in this direction, and it is heading towards Shang Zhen.

"Snapped"

Shang Zhen's gun fired, and the Japanese soldier who was chasing him was shot in the chest and fell down.

When Shang Zhen pulled the bolt again, he saw another Japanese soldier showing up in the village. The second Japanese soldier was also very cunning. When he saw his companion in front of him fall, he did not rush forward but retreated and hid behind the corner of the house first!

It’s broken, Shang Zhen knows it.

He is not afraid of the Japanese rushing out, but he is afraid that the Japanese will act like turtles!

Let me use the same metaphor again. If the Japanese army retreats, they will be like the stubborn dogs kept by the common people.

When you come over, it hides in its den. When you reach the entrance of the kennel, it hides in a corner. You can't reach out to catch it. If you reach out to grab it, it will bite you. But when you run back, it will chase you out again!

Given the current terrain, Shang Zhen didn't dare to shoot at the Japanese army, so he turned around and ran back with his gun.

The sound of gunfire from the Japanese army rang out in the village, but Shang Zhen had already hidden behind a tree not far away, and the tree took the bullet for Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen didn't dare to stop, he moved in a zigzag pattern and ran to where he could hide. When the Japanese soldier fired two more shots, Shang Zhen had already hidden behind a thicker tree.

Shang Zhen turned around and raised his gun, wanting to shoot the Japanese soldier again.

But when he turned around, his face changed before he evened the gun, and he turned around and ran away under the cover of the big tree!

There was no way he didn't run this time, because Shang Zhen saw a lot of Japanese soldiers suddenly appearing from the other side of the village!

Not to mention the size of the village, there was no wall, and anyone could leave the village through the gap between any two houses. The Japanese devils were like a spring that suddenly appeared, and they all came out in a flash!

What's the point of fighting? The only way to survive is to run back to the woods!

Fortunately, the place where Shang Zhen fired the shot was far enough away from the village, and there were more trees now. Although the bullets were flying "whoosh" to his left and right, they did not hit him after all. Shang Zhen fled back to the woods beside the river again.

This time, when he looked back, he saw dozens of Japanese soldiers rushing out of the village and chasing him.

Could it be that they are still being framed by the same group of Japanese that they had designed in the first place? How could they only care about food and not about beatings?

Shang Zhen raised his rifle, but he thought of the hundreds of Japanese soldiers yesterday.

Forget it, it’s better to keep a low profile. Your life is more important!

Shang Zhen turned around and went back into the woods.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese troops who came from behind began to search in the woods, but Shang Zhen, dripping with water all over his body, had already appeared in the woods on the other side of the river.

He walked carefully south along the woods until he reached a place where the trees on both sides of the river became sparse.

As to why Shang Zhen went south again, it was only based on his own guess.

No matter how many or how long the trees on both sides of the river were, there was a limit to their number. Furthermore, the forest only had length and no width. He was afraid that the Japanese army would leave a few fixed sentry posts in the forest, waiting for him to fall into the trap.

It’s the end again. Where should I go this time, Shang Zhen wondered.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Japanese troops appearing in the distance on both sides of the river.

However, the following situation was similar to the situation before he killed the Jap officer. A few Japanese soldiers showed up first, but then they appeared one by one.

I won’t mention how many Japanese troops there were, but in any case, Shang Zhen alone could never match them.

No, we have to run. We can’t stay in the woods on either side of the river anymore.

Shang Zhen turned around and ran back. This time he did not run close to the river. Instead, he ran and observed along the edge of the woods.

After running for a while, he ran out of the woods by the river and ran deep into the open area under the cover of the sparse bushes outside.

I'm not going to play by the river this time. I wonder what you guys are up to!

This was Shang Zhen’s inner thought, and he felt a little proud.

But he was only proud for a moment, then he felt something in his heart and quickly went into a dense bush to watch.

At this time he saw dozens of Japanese cavalry appearing.

Those dozens of Japanese cavalrymen were not coming towards him, but looking at the speed of the horses, Shang Zhen felt that the enemy was searching or patrolling, not delivering a message!

Shang Zhen was thinking as he saw the Japanese cavalry running south just a few hundred meters away from him.

The situation was not good, Shang Zhen knew. When he saw the Japanese cavalrymen running away, he scanned the terrain again, crawled out of the bushes where he was hiding, and continued to run away.

Since the situation was not right, of course he ran and watched at the same time. However, he had only run about 200 meters and just hid behind a big tree when he saw that the Japanese soldiers who had run far ahead actually turned around and ran back, although this time there were only about five or six riders.

At this point Shang Zhen finally had a bad premonition. Had he killed some high-ranking Japanese official and stirred up a hornet's nest?

Originally, he thought that running from the edge of the woods to the open ground would avoid the Japanese troops searching along the river and that this was his way to survive.

But now he saw the Japanese cavalry, who ran past but then ran back. Wasn't this just patrolling? Wasn't this enough to alert him?

But this time, the Japanese soldiers were running towards him, and there was only such a big tree in front of him!

Shang Zhen didn't mind killing a few more Japanese soldiers and snatching a horse, but once the gun was fired, trouble would come again!
