The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2278: The Benefits of Foreseeing Opportunities

The sun has risen very high, and the sky seems to no longer be blue, but white, the kind of white that is baked by the sun. It is especially hot today.

An old soldier from the Xiaoboji Company lay in the shade of a tree on the south bank of the Yu River, looking at the water of the Yu River which had become much shallower and narrower.

The water surface was narrow and the water depth was shallow, and the slowly flowing water gave him an irresistible temptation.

"I really want to soak in the water. Look at us hiding in the shade of the trees with our tongues sticking out like dogs!" The old soldier deliberately opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.

He thought he was very humorous, but he was a veteran, and everyone around him was a veteran. Someone said, "Don't be mean to that dog. It's not just dogs that stick out their tongues. Drowned ghosts also stick out their tongues."

The person who answered the question caused the other veterans around to laugh.

The old soldier who was about to go into the water felt a little embarrassed, so he argued: "Does your drowned ghost stick out his tongue? Only hanged ghosts stick out their tongues!"

The soldiers laughed again, but at this time their platoon leader's voice rang out: "Shut up, someone is coming!"

The veterans shut up instantly.

"Where is your company commander?" the man asked.

The old soldiers turned around when they heard the sound. They recognized the people coming. They knew both of them. One was the regiment commander's messenger, and the other was the battalion commander's messenger.

"Our company commander has taken his men to the other side of the river," the platoon leader replied.

"What did you send that guy to do? Did his sworn brother go there too?" asked the regiment commander's messenger.

"The company commander said that there were some Japanese soldiers left over there to monitor our people. Besides, we were afraid that another large group of Japanese soldiers would come over, so we went out first." The platoon leader answered again.

"Go and get them back!" The battalion commander's messenger also spoke, but he was standing behind the regiment commander's messenger and secretly gave a wink to the platoon leader.

"Oh my God, don't even mention that you are the commander's envoy. Even if the commander comes, I can't find you.

The company commander said that there are Japanese devils over there and they are searching. Anyone who dares to go over there will be shot and killed!

Besides, that was a secret operation, and the whole operation would be exposed if we passed by.

Aren't the whole regiment here? Why is our company missing? What's going on?" The platoon leader knew the battalion commander's messenger very well. As soon as he saw the look in his eyes, he knew that the regiment was looking for his company because of something.

It's a very simple logic. The messenger in the regiment wants to find his company commander. If the battalion commander's messenger and the regiment commander's messenger mean the same thing, then there is no need for the battalion commander's messenger to wink at him.

So, I can't let the commander and the soldiers get what they want.

If you ask me to find it, I can’t find it. I really can’t find it. Even if I could find it, I wouldn’t look for it!

The regiment commander's messenger glanced coldly at the platoon leader and turned his gaze to the other side of the river.

The terrain on the other side of the river was much more open than here, but wherever I looked, there was really no one in sight.

As mentioned before, the platoon leaders that Xiao Boji used were all veteran soldiers, so they could definitely tell the difference between a man and a woman. How could he not guess what the regiment commander's messenger was thinking? He hurriedly said, "There are indeed Japanese devils hiding on the other side of the river. We all saw their shadows yesterday.

The company commander said that there were not many Japanese devils hiding, but they would definitely attract more Japanese devils!

So it is very important to find those little Japanese soldiers. We can't let them attack us from both inside and outside, right? We can't shoot now. If we shoot, the little Japanese soldiers will be on guard, and it will be difficult to search them out of the woods on the mountain!"

Look, how thoroughly did this platoon leader analyze Xiao Boji's tactics? He even understood Shang Zhen's orders more thoroughly than the soldiers under Shang Zhen!

It’s still what Xiao Boji said, the pig kidneys of his subordinates are all good, but they are not good in the right place.

Xiao Boji was influenced by Shang Zhen. The old soldiers in his group were very agile in fighting, and when it was time to run, they ran faster than anyone else.

But they were running away in order to kill the enemy better, while the veterans were fighting desperately because they would die if they didn't. Their fighting spirit was in order to escape.

And this is the essential difference between the two.

The commander's messenger saw that this was the situation here. He knew that it was useless to say more and turned away.

"What happened?" Seeing the regiment commander's messenger walking away, the platoon leader hurriedly asked the battalion commander's messenger in a low voice.

"What's the matter, hehe." The battalion commander's messenger laughed, then pointed at the soldiers who stayed on the south bank, "You guys got it!" He then lowered his voice and said, "An order has come from above, requiring our regiment to wipe out all the Japanese devils blocking here within two days!"

After saying that, he also left.

As soon as the two messengers left, the soldiers of the Xiaoboji Company who remained on the south bank of the Yu River began to buzz with discussion.

They were all veterans, and of course they understood what the battalion commander's messenger meant when he said that their regiment must eliminate the Japanese troops blocked here within two days.

This of course meant that more than a hundred Japanese devils would definitely die, but it also meant that more Chinese soldiers would also sacrifice on the battlefield.

Under the leadership of Xiao Boji, their company retreated quickly. Otherwise, the task of launching the main attack on this group of Japanese troops would have fallen on their shoulders.

But when that time really comes, these old soldiers won't be able to escape just like that.

When a real fight breaks out, you have to fight to the death even if you don't want to! If you move forward, you will die; if you move backward, you will also die. You have no choice but to fight to the death.

And the only things they would lose if they fought so hard would be their lives!

Those who dared to fight have died, and the rest are those who neither want to fight nor surrender. So someone is always needed to fight, and at that time your life is in the hands of God, not you!

So isn't this something they should be thankful for?

"You still want to go in and take a bath? If you really want to go in, I'll let you alone to represent our company and fight!" This is what the platoon leader said.

The old soldier chose the lesser of the two options and smiled awkwardly: "Even if you want me to go out in the sun, I will accept it. It's better than dying with my dick up in the air."

"So from now on, every one of us must listen to our company commander!" The platoon leader said at the right time, "He is more cunning than us, and he won't cheat us! This is very important, we must know what is good for us!"

After all, when Chinese people get along with each other, it all depends on what they do. The old soldiers can still tell good from bad. After the platoon leader spoke, those old soldiers all responded with a rare "yes".

The sound of gunfire in the battle came faster than expected. Just over ten minutes later, the soldiers guarding the south bank of the Yu River heard sudden gunfire behind them. There was no doubt that it was their regiment launching an attack on the Japanese army.

For the soldiers guarding the south bank, it was already expected that they would receive the news first.

But for both sides on the north bank of the Yu River, the gunfire came too suddenly. No matter whether it was the Chinese army attacking or the Japanese army starting to break through, this meant that there would be a result soon. It was said that the battle should be resolved within two days. Would it really take two days?

In that hiding place, Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji's men did not move, but the few Japanese soldiers who stayed there became restless.

Some Japanese soldiers appeared from their hiding place, first looking to the south, then changing their position and looking to the north.

But at this time, Japanese troops really appeared in the north.
