The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2312 Cutting the Rope to Save People

"Second girl!" The little boy didn't care about the order at this time, he ran towards the village below.

But Shang Zhen looked at the young man who had just informed the boy and said, "Have all the Japanese run away? How long have they been running?"

"Come back, boy! The Japanese have just left. I think they killed all the men and took away all the women." said the young man.

"How many Japs are there? Lead the way and chase them!" Shang Zhen said hurriedly.

Although the boy has joined Shang Zhen's company, he is still dressed like an ordinary citizen. Shang Zhen and his men are obviously the National Army.

When the young man heard that Shang Zhen was willing to come forward, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Follow me!" He took Shang Zhen and the others and ran towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

"Is there a shortcut? Can we stop the Japanese? How many Japanese are there?" Shang Zhen asked questions rapidly as he followed the young man.

After all, the situation faced by a person who leads troops in battle is different from that faced by a young boy who has just joined the army.

"We can stop him, but we have to take a shortcut up the mountain." The young man replied hurriedly.

"Take a shortcut!" Shang Zhen answered without hesitation.

"Come back, boy, and save those people!" the young man shouted again.

It seems that the boy is very familiar with the people in this village.

Come to think of it, even though the two villages are only about an hour's journey apart, they are actually only separated by two hills.

This is a mountainous area, and the villagers always go up the mountain to collect mountain products, so there are not so many etiquettes. So it is not surprising that the boy knows the people in this village and is very familiar with his wife who is not yet married.

Everyone followed the young man and crossed the burning village diagonally, heading straight for a high ground at the other end of the village.

"How far are you from the highway?" Shang Zhen was still asking the young man.

"About five or six miles. Oh, by the way, there are about forty or fifty Japanese soldiers." The young man answered. Only then did he remember that he had not finished answering Shang Zhen's question.

"Hurry!" Shang Zhen shouted, "We can't let the devils get on the road."

After saying that, Shang Zhen accelerated and overtook the young man directly!

Rushing to a high ground naturally requires physical strength. Now that the situation is basically clear, Shang Zhen can no longer delay.

Shang Zhen didn't know where this group of Japanese troops came from, but since the village was adjacent to the highway, it was possible that the Japanese troops that were attacking Qingfeng Mountain had arrived to reinforce them.

It is impossible for the Japanese army to send a large group of troops to plunder such a small village. Shang Zhen was afraid that there might be a large group of Japanese troops on the road. If that happened, who would they rescue?

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. How could Shang Zhen wait at this point?

And now with this all-out sprint, the difference in everyone's physical strength can be seen.

The young man and the boy grew up in the mountains, so naturally they could climb the mountain faster. Even the soldiers under Shang Zhen could not compare with them.

But the one running in the front was Shang Zhen!

Shang Zhen was very good at fighting the Japanese in every way, and his soldiers had no choice but to obey him!

The puddle on the high ground splashed with water. Shang Zhen rushed over like the wind, and then dived into the woods on the high ground.

Fortunately, most of the trees in this area are pine trees, and the villagers always come here to collect firewood, so they are not hindered by those other trees when walking through the woods.

When Shang Zhen rushed to the other end of the high ground, he saw the Japanese army marching on the mountain path.

Sure enough, it can be intercepted!

Knowing what was going on, Shang Zhen didn't run straight ahead. Instead, he went sideways into the bushes in the woods.

How could it be so easy to intercept this group of Japanese soldiers and rescue the people? But not rescuing them would not work!

Now it was downhill again, and Shang Zhen ran even faster. When the soldiers behind him saw him, they could only see his back as he hid in a small forest. "Hurry! Run!" Qian Feng said breathlessly.

He was also impressed by Shang Zhen. How could you fight a war like this? When something happened, you would rush forward and be faster than everyone behind them!

When the soldiers ran the same route as Shang Zhen and fell beside him panting, Shang Zhen's breathing had already calmed down, and now they were already about 400 meters ahead of the Japanese troops.

"Qian Feng, take half of the people and rush to the other end of the path, and the rest of you stay here.

All of you are hidden. Take my gunshot as a signal and rescue the people." Shang Zhen said.

"How to save them? Those women can't run away." Qian Feng couldn't help but ask.

At this distance, they could already see the young girls and wives who were abducted by the Japanese army, who were wearing ties!

The Japanese army did this because they were afraid that the young girls and wives would flee.

But at the same time, this also creates difficulties for their rescue.

No matter whether the Japanese devils win or lose, even if one of the people in that group is killed, who in that group can escape?

"Don't worry, I have a plan. Remember to take my gunshot as a signal.

See that patch of grass beside the road? That's where I'm hiding. Move!

Oh, give me another box gun." Shang Zhen gave the order without caring about the soldiers' shock.

A soldier directly handed his twenty-shot gun to Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen bent over and took cover under the trees and bushes as he ran diagonally forward, as if he was going to fight the Japanese troops alone.

No one knew how Shang Zhen could safely rescue those young girls and wives, but out of trust in Shang Zhen, the soldiers all dispersed at once and began to make arrangements step by step.

The lush vegetation and the season when all things grow did provide sufficient cover for Shang Zhen.

But in the end he did not ambush in the bushes as he said, which was about 40 meters away from the roadside, but hid among a pile of rocks a little further away.

His field of vision was wider in this area of ​​rocks, and the distance was an additional ten meters, which was completely negligible for a sharpshooter like him.

Shang Zhen loaded both box guns and placed them beside him, then lay there quietly waiting.

At this moment, he seemed to be just an ordinary piece of stone, or like an old monk in meditation, and he didn't even look at the Japanese army.

Shang Zhen waited for a while, and his half-closed eyes opened. He grabbed the box gun he usually used with his right hand. At this time, he heard the sound of Japanese troops marching on the mountain path.

In theory, marching should be quiet.

But now it is obviously not the case. Rather than saying that the Japanese army is marching, it would be more accurate to say that the Japanese invaders are returning from looting.

For a moment, the sounds of the invaders' footsteps, the collision of guns and weapons, the sobbing of women, and the scolding of the Japanese devils were all mixed together, and even the cries of chickens and ducks could be heard!

Shang Zhen took a quick glance outside and then retracted his head. He ignored the Japanese soldiers who were holding rifles or had chickens and ducks on their bayonets. His main purpose was to save people!

After a while, when the young girls and wives who were tied together with ropes passed in front of him, he suddenly appeared with a box gun on his shoulder.

Then came the "bang", "bang", "bang" sounds of the box gun firing.

Shang Zhen fired five shots in total, and those five shots were incredibly fast. For the first three shots, before the women had time to react, he used bullets to directly cut the ropes connecting the women.

The Japanese army was careless after all. They only tied the women's hands with thin ropes. The 7.62 caliber bullets from the box gun could easily cut the ropes in one shot!

By the time the women reacted, some of them were so scared that they sat down on the ground, giving Shang Zhen another opportunity to shoot.

Shang Zhen focused all his attention on shooting the thin rope with his gun, and did not notice that in the process his own people had started shooting and the Japanese army had also started to lie down and fight back.

When Shang Zhen shrank back and hid behind a rock, bullets finally hit the rock where he was hiding, making "bang" and "bang" sounds.
