The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2239: Sure enough, the puppet army is different

"Don't be afraid. What do you have to be afraid of as I'm here?" When Shang Zhen was escorted on the road by four soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers and walked towards the artillery tower, Shang Zhen said while looking at the artillery tower with an unchanged expression.

"Hehe!" The four soldiers who were "escorting" him from behind laughed embarrassedly.

They really didn't expect that Shang Zhen would go with them to "knock on" the Japanese artillery tower.

Shang Zhen is just a little taller than normal among Chinese people, but if he is placed among the Japanese army, he would not only stand out like a crane among chickens, but would definitely stand out like a geese among ducks. He would not only be too conspicuous but too glaring!

It’s true that Shang Zhen had pretended to be a Japanese soldier before, but they had killed so many devils that they were always able to find a taller one among a bunch of short guys.

But they had only killed a few Japanese soldiers in the last battle, and there was no suitable clothes for him to wear.

However, Shang Zhen would not just let the four soldiers who had no experience in going deep into the tiger's den to "knock" on the door of the artillery tower. Instead, he disguised himself as a soldier captured by the Japanese army and let the four soldiers dressed as devils escort him there.

"Actually, I tell you, courage is something that is acquired through practice." Shang Zhen continued walking and talking, "I used to have a soldier under my command whose real name I didn't know, but he said he was called 'Wang Xiaodan'.

Just by listening to the name, you can guess how timid he is.

But later on, he fought against the Japanese more and more, and at least dozens of them died at his hands. Now people no longer call him "Wang Xiaodan" but "Wang Dadan". "

Shang Zhen did not mention how cowardly he was when he first joined the army, but talked about Wang Xiaodan.

When the four recruits heard Shang Zhen talking about Wang Xiaodan, they naturally listened with great interest. They had never imagined that the so-called heroes are not born, but grow up slowly.

"Being brave also requires carefulness. If you dare to die and want to die, you will definitely die, but being afraid of death may not mean you will not die.

In this day and age—" Shang Zhen sighed, "You will understand after fighting more battles that whether you can survive depends not only on your own efforts but also on fate. In short, be brave and careful!"

As the artillery tower approached, Shang Zhen finally ended his guidance to the recruits.

Just as Shang Zhen expected, when the five of them stood under the artillery tower and a puppet soldier asked a question from above, Xing Lei just deliberately cursed "Baga" in a hoarse voice, and the puppet soldier above moved his gun away.

The puppet army really didn't dare to provoke the Japanese army.

Just think about it, how can a servant and a master be of equal status?

If they were slightly unhappy with the Japanese army's answer, even if the Japanese soldiers were few and dared not get angry now, when the large Japanese troops arrived, whoever offended the Japanese army would definitely suffer "retribution", and a slap in the face would be inevitable.

As for the Chinese, no matter they were the puppet army or the national army, it was well known that the Japanese devils' "Baga" was a precursor to the big-eared club, so how could the puppet army not open the door to the Japanese army?

What's more, at daybreak, they saw their own people and a squadron of Japanese troops going out to fight. So isn't it normal that now the Japanese troops are coming back with the soldiers of the independent brigade?

The door of the turret was opened, and four "Japanese soldiers" escorted the "prisoners" directly into the turret.

The reason why they couldn't take over the artillery tower was simply because of the door of the artillery tower. Shang Zhen had already explained to the four soldiers how to take over the artillery tower.

As soon as he entered the door of the artillery tower, Xing Lei threw down the rifle in his hand and pulled out the box gun hidden in his arms. He pointed the gun directly at a puppet soldier who was staring at him, and shouted, "Hand over your gun and I won't kill you!"

Li Shunyi, Gao Erwa and Ding Zhaocai hurriedly pointed their rifles at the puppet soldiers inside, while Shang Zhen quickly ran towards the stairs, but in his hand he had a grenade with the pin removed.

Just as Shang Zhen reached the stairs, a puppet soldier with a cannon on his body came down and looked at them in surprise.

"Hand over your guns and you won't be killed!" Shang Zhen also shouted. At this time, Shang Zhen realized that the new soldiers he led were still new soldiers after all. They were brave, but they still lacked combat experience.

This artillery tower had two floors. Two puppet soldiers were sleeping soundly on the bunks, and seven or eight puppet soldiers were sitting on the bunks watching them.

According to the original plan, Shang Zhen wanted Xing Lei to go directly to the second floor to control the puppet soldiers on the second floor, but Xing Lei got nervous and actually pointed his gun at the puppet soldiers on the first floor.

Fortunately, he also took into account the lack of firepower on his side, and brought a grenade with the pin removed. He was betting that the puppet soldiers valued their lives and would not die with them!

As for the box gun used by Xing Lei, it was naturally borrowed by Shang Zhen from the brigade.

Of course, the box gun has the advantage in close combat in the turret. Shang Zhen gave the box gun to Xing Lei and used grenades himself because he was worried that Xing Lei would not dare to take action at the critical moment.

But he didn't expect that Xing Lei used the box gun in a place where it shouldn't be used.

But at this moment, a puppet soldier's voice came from the upper turret: "Platoon leader, some people are coming towards us with guns. They look like independent people. What should we do?"

Aren't they from Shang Zhen's recruit company? Shang Zhen had arranged everything when he was outside. As long as they entered the door of the artillery tower, Qian Feng and the whole company would rush over there.

The puppet soldier did ask questions, but the problem was that Shang Zhen now had the grenade in his hand and was just about to smash it!

The puppet soldier who came down from upstairs was obviously an officer. He did not expect such a situation to happen. He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

However, a puppet soldier's head popped out from the top of the stairs, took a look, shouted "Mom", and then quickly retreated.

Just when Shang Zhen was thinking that something was wrong, the puppet army leader asked Shang Zhen, "Are you from the Independent Brigade?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over your gun!" Shang Zhen could only threaten now, and of course he was ready to die together with his partner.

But then something unexpected happened. He only heard the puppet army officer say, "Just hand over your guns. What are you doing with that thing? If you set it off, won't you all die?"

Then the puppet army officer really started to pull out the box gun in the wooden box.

And that guy was really afraid that he might accidentally detonate the grenade in battle, so after pulling out his box gun, he didn't even fire the gun, but threw it down the stairs.

Stairs are stairs, not slides. After the box gun made a few "clicks" on the steps, it finally fell at Shang Zhen's feet.

Shang Zhen still looked up at the puppet army officer, but his body lowered. He picked up the box gun.

It was only then that he noticed that this box gun only had twenty shots!

Then he heard the puppet army officer say again: "Ma Chao, you guys come down and bring your guns with you. You are brothers from the Independent Brigade."

Even though Shang Zhenyi was always quick-witted and resourceful, he was a little confused at this moment.

He had seen puppet soldiers surrendering, and he had also seen puppet soldiers clinging to the Japanese army and willing to become traitors, but this was the first time he had seen anyone pay money so readily like this puppet army officer.

Shang Zhen was so confused that he asked casually, "Just hand over the gun like that?"

"They are all one of us, why do we have to kill two of them?" The officer replied disapprovingly but as a matter of course.
