The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2274: Chatting is not enough

The Japanese army did not break out for the time being.

As for the reason, the pile of firewood on the other side of the small dustpan was still burning, and the pungent smell was still there.

Although the Japanese devils have now tasted that the stuff is not the poison gas of their Great Japanese Empire, they will never rush out despite the spicy taste.

That thing choked them so much that their tears were streaming down their cheeks and they couldn't see the target in front of them clearly. They couldn't just rush out and shoot while wiping their tears at the same time, they wouldn't be able to operate the game that way!

Besides, that thing will go into the throat and make people cough. Not to mention exposing the target, if you aim well and someone coughs, won’t the bullet go into the sky?

On Shang Zhen's company's side, the situation was not as intense, but during the previous detour, the Japanese army ran headfirst into Shang Zhen's company's blocking circle, killing five or six men in military uniforms and seven or eight men in black. It was not a good outcome.

Who knows what other solutions the Japanese army is thinking of?

Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji were of course happy that the Japanese army did not break through, and they kept chatting under the gaze of the soldiers.

By now the soldiers were no longer astonished, they saw Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji chatting enthusiastically, it was clearly a reunion of close friends, it was obvious that the two people not only knew each other, but also had a very close relationship!

Come to think of it, the soldiers have now discovered the commonality between the two men, which is that their mouths are full of the flavor of Northeastern Chinese rice!

It's just that the two officers were chatting so enthusiastically that they completely forgot that there were more than a hundred Japanese devils in the encirclement! What should their soldiers do?

To be honest, except for Shang Zhen and Qian Feng, all the other people in Shang Zhen's company were trained as conscripts and have just taken shape.

And the little dustpan wasn't much better.

Although most of their company members are veterans, they are still not as good as Shang Zhen's company!

This situation is like a debate topic: which one would you choose, a person with talent but no morals or a person with morals but no talent? The answer is, both are terrible!

Otherwise, do you think Xiao Boji would like to chatter with his soldiers every day?

Xiao Boji and Shang Zhen were both very happy talking. They had been separated for several years, so naturally they had endless things to talk about. If they were allowed to talk by candlelight at night, they would definitely chat until dawn.

But this is a battlefield.

"Company commander, would you like to talk to this officer later? Our cigarettes are all burned out, how are we going to kill the Japanese devils inside?" A platoon leader under Xiao Boji finally stepped forward to talk to Xiao Boji.

Who would have thought that Xiao Boji only glanced at the already faded smoke, but ignored the platoon leader's next words and said, "Then light a few more piles. Don't the kitchen have a few strings of peppers left? Put them all in and burn them!"

Then he turned around and started chatting with Shang Zhen again.

The platoon leader had no choice but to follow Xiao Boji's orders.

The soldiers could always get some semi-dry firewood, but where did they get so many peppers?

Soon, the peppers were burned out and the spicy smell was gone in the air.

"Company commander, we have run out of peppers and firewood is hard to find. What should we do next?" The platoon leader came to ask Xiao Boji for instructions again.

"What should we do?" Xiao Boji was a little angry at his subordinates for being so tactless.

"We can't just block the Japanese like this. What if they send reinforcements?" said the platoon leader.

"The Japanese reinforcements are coming?" Xiao Boji curled his lips, obviously he did not agree with his subordinates' statement, thinking, the Japanese reinforcements are coming? How could their reinforcements come faster than ours?

But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and said casually: "Didn't I send people to guard outside? If you want to eliminate the Japanese inside, then take your platoon to attack, don't bother me!"

"Ah?" The platoon leader never thought that his kind reminder to his superior would be met with a cold shoulder. He looked at Shang Zhen who was sitting opposite Xiao He and Xiao Bo Ji. It was the first time he saw Shang Zhen and he knew what was going on with Shang Zhen, so he could only leave in dismay.

Xiao Boji continued talking to Shang Zhen, but just like the platoon leader who came to talk to him just now, this was wartime after all, so how could they just keep quiet?

This time, it was only a short while later that the platoon leader hurried over and reported, "The company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander are here."

Hmm? Xiao Boji looked up at his men and asked, "Just the two of them?"

"How is that possible? I see so many people here, they must have brought all the capable fighters from our regiment." The platoon leader replied hurriedly.

This time, Xiao Boji didn't get angry but exchanged glances with Shang Zhen opposite him thoughtfully.

"Company commander, the duck that was almost in our mouth has flown away." His platoon leader obviously also thought about why the battalion commander and the regiment commander led the troops, and a look of unwillingness appeared on his face.

"What should we do if we don't fly? Hey, didn't I ask you to lead your platoon to fight? Why didn't I hear any gunshots?" Xiao Boji was not too upset, and even teased him, the platoon leader.

The platoon leader was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything back.

He was just talking. He was not stupid. Not to mention his own platoon, even if their entire company went up, they would not be able to capture the Japanese troops they had trapped inside.

Xiao Boji was actually a soldier brought by Shang Zhen, and his combat ideas were the same as Shang Zhen's.

Now Xiao Boji is a company commander, and he only has one company under his command. Even if they add Shang Zhen's company, they will never use the strength of two companies to attack more than one hundred Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army couldn't break out because they now occupied the advantageous terrain.

But as mentioned before, the terrain of the Dahongshan area is very complex. If they attack inside, they will also face complex terrain.

If they used the strength of two companies to fight against the Japanese army, the ratio would be 2:1. Could they definitely win with only two people against one Japanese soldier?

But no matter whether they win or not, according to Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji's logic, they have lost.

Why? They defeated their two companies. Even if Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji were the only two left, and there was not a single Japanese soldier left, what was the meaning of such a tragic victory?

It is feasible to use fire to burn peppers to disgust the Japanese troops and create some kind of trouble for them, but it would be naive to think that the Japanese troops could be eliminated under the cover of that kind of smoke.

Both of their companies were very poor and they didn't have any gas masks. As long as they entered the smoke, they would start to cry and cough. How could they fight?

So why are Xiao Boji and Shang Zhen talking about their respective experiences during the past few years of separation so confidently?

That's because, even without discussing it, they both knew that the best way to deal with those Japanese troops was not to attack them, but to stay outside until the Japanese troops could no longer bear it and broke out, and then use the advantage of the terrain to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese troops.

This kind of war can be won cheaply and is in line with their usual combat philosophy!

However, even though Shang Zhen didn't ask and Xiao Boji didn't say anything, they both knew that this kind of good thing was something they could only think about.

Xiaoboji Company and Shangzhen Company have been blocking the Japanese army here for some time. How could there be only one company, Xiaoboji, stationed here?

It would be fine if the Xiaoboji Company was "keeping the enemy out of the country", and perhaps other companies in their regiment would lend a helping hand from the side. But now their company has trapped this group of Japanese troops in a desperate situation like a turtle in a jar, so who wouldn't take advantage of such a ready-made advantage?

So, don’t worry about the battalion commander and the regiment commander of Xiaoboji, they are all here for this.

And precisely because of this, Xiao Boji and Shang Zhen’s chat, of course, people in the Northeast call it “laoke”, so how could they enjoy the chat after a long separation?
