The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2298: “Disgusting” enemy fighting style.

It was no longer a problem for the Japanese army to advance, as both sides of the road had become a sea of ​​fire, and they had to run back.

If they dared to charge forward, the vast majority of the Japanese troops would fall in the smoke and fire before they reached the mountain pass.

But at this moment, gunshots rang out behind them.

The Japanese army captured the valley entrance in front and naturally left troops there. They also had to protect their own retreat. But at this time, dense bullets flew towards them from the thatched grass near the valley entrance.

For a moment, the Japanese soldiers were either shot or suppressed by the firepower and could not raise their heads.

But at this moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared. Two carriages suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away on one side of the valley!

But the two carriages were not empty, they were pulling stacks of thatch!

No one has ever counted how much straw a horse-drawn carriage can pull, but taking into account the height of the wheels, a square pile of firewood can basically be stacked as high as a bungalow.

In order to prevent the firewood loaded on the bumpy horse-drawn carriage from being thrown off, a large rope is usually tied to the pile of firewood.

When it is time to unload the carriage, loosen the rope and the firewood on the carriage will naturally fall off the carriage!

It was the same now. When the two horse-drawn carriages ran onto the road in the middle of the valley, they ran forward along the road, which was equivalent to rushing towards the fleeing Japanese army.

Then the two soldiers driving the carriage jumped off their carriages, and the thatched stack on the carriage was thrown off and rolled down as the horses ran. The thatched stack, as tall as a house, no longer had its square shape, but became a real pile of firewood, which just happened to pile thatch on the road that had no thatch originally.

"Run!" One of the drivers shouted and hid in the thatch on that side, and another person who jumped off the other carriage did the same.

The former is a small winnowing basket, and the latter is Lao Gu, a soldier under his command.

Just as the two of them crawled into the thatched grass that had not yet burned, gunshots rang out densely on both sides of the valley.

To be honest, the Chinese army's ambush was a bit far away. The thatched grass on both sides of the road was about 400 meters long.

To be honest, at this distance, it is difficult for most Chinese soldiers to guarantee a hit rate.

But what does it matter? Just as Xiao Boji said before, you don’t care whether you can hit them or not. The Japs are in the fire anyway, and they can’t shoot back. We should just shoot as many shots as we can!

Just think of it as if our position is about to be lost and we are being attacked by the Japanese. Who would save bullets at that time?

Besides, we have the strength of two battalions!

Yes, two battalions. In order to cooperate with Xiao Boji's strategy of "luring the enemy into a trap" and "beating the dog inside the pass", the regiment commander Zhou Jingyong directly ambushed the two battalions on both sides of the valley.

The gunfire was dense, including the heavy machine guns that made a "dong dong dong" sound, as well as the Type 38 rifles that Xiao Boji and his company had captured.

I don’t know how many Japanese soldiers were killed. To be honest, many Chinese soldiers couldn’t even see the Japanese soldiers in the valley because the entire patch of thatch was on fire.

There was an area that was not set on fire earlier, which was left for Xiao Boji and Lao Gu to use for escape.

The rising fireworks already obstructed the vision of the officers and soldiers of the 226th Regiment on both sides. In fact, even without the fireworks they could not see the road in the middle of the valley. The thatched grass was more than half a person's height, not to mention that the Japanese were short.

But the 226th Regiment was still the 226th Regiment after all. They still lacked the courage to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army, and they were still far away from the Japanese army.

More than half an hour later, some Japanese soldiers finally rushed out from the sea of ​​fire. The officers and soldiers who used firepower to suppress the Japanese soldiers at the valley entrance were unable to seize the valley entrance, allowing the remaining Japanese soldiers to rush out in the end.

"I don't know what happened to Zhang Jidong and his soldier?" The regiment commander Zhou Jingyong, who was watching the battle, asked worriedly as he looked at the sea of ​​fire and the fleeing Japanese soldiers from a distance.

"Captain, it's okay. It turns out there was a puddle there and we dug it for them." An officer reported.

Zhou Jingyong nodded, but then he burst into laughter: "This battle is so exciting! If anyone says that our Sixth Regiment is not fighting hard, I will be angry with him!"

"That's right, the regiment commander fired the gun himself!" Zhou Jingyong's chief of staff complimented him.

When the chief of staff said this, Zhou Jingyong laughed even louder. But he suddenly stopped laughing and shouted, "Oh, I almost forgot something important. Go and inform Shang Zhen that it's their turn!"

In order to repel the Japanese attack, Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji designed a series of plans.

Xiao Boji and his men lured the Japanese army out of their hole, then lured them into a trap, and then burned the entire army.

Shang Zhen had to wait until the battle at Xiaoboji was completed before launching an attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

There is an order to counterattack. If Shang Zhen attacks first, and the Japanese army suddenly finds a Chinese army behind them, then the Japanese army that is trying to make a detour may not make a detour, but will instead clear the rear.

When a Chinese soldier lit a column of black smoke on a high point on the side of Qingfeng Mountain, Hu Sheng, who was in charge of watching, hurried back to the woods with his men to find Shang Zhen: "Company Commander, there's a signal from over there, there's smoke!"

Shang Zhen and his men had already crossed the saddle that served as a path, and they hid near a puddle that the Japanese army used as a water source.

Their location was of course very close to Qingfeng Mountain, but even if they were closer they might not be able to see the signal flag clearly. On the contrary, a smoke signal would be extremely conspicuous.

Even if the Japanese army saw the signal smoke, they could never guess what the smoke represented.

That smoke was exactly the signal agreed upon by Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji.

Now when they heard that the fight at Xiaobuji was over, Shang Zhen's soldiers became excited.

You know, they have been waiting for a day and a night now!

Originally, they thought that after crossing the most difficult mountain, they would go to blow up the Japanese infantry artillery, but they never expected that after they crossed the mountain, Shang Zhen led them to hide directly at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, let's do what we planned beforehand!" Shang Zhen said.

They finally walked forward in the woods, and soon came to the puddle that the Japanese army used as a water source and hid again.

The battle on Xiao Boji's side took place in the afternoon, but Shang Zhen was not in a hurry to march and attack the Japanese artillery positions, as they had other things to do.

But this time the wait was different from the day and night of waiting they had experienced. The excitement on the soldiers' faces was hard to conceal.

If Shang Zhen had not warned the soldiers to abide by the rules and not talk, they would have started discussing.

Another two hours later, a soldier in front suddenly ran back and reported to Shang Zhen: "Company Commander, the Japs are coming!"

Shang Zhen stood up suddenly and ordered: "Do it!"

The soldiers carefully poured the fine powder from small cloth bags into the puddle.

"Don't stir the water, don't make it muddy, and don't arouse the Japanese's suspicion!" Shang Zhen warned in a low voice.

If you ask what Shang Zhen asked the soldiers to throw into the water, it turns out to be the croton powder that Shang Zhen got when he was looking for a small winnowing basket!

The poison dealer Zhen didn't find the poison in the local area, but he found croton.

Of course, croton could not poison the Japanese army to death. As for to what extent putting a large dose of croton powder into that rather large puddle of water would cause the Japanese devils to have diarrhea, Shang Zhen did not know.

But disgusting the Japanese devils is just a matter of convenience, so why don't they do it?

In fact, Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji have the same idea.

Xiao Boji used a horse-drawn carriage to pull thatch to block the Japanese army's retreat. Wasn't that also a way to disgust the Japanese army?
