The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2327: Climbing with Loads

In the darkness, a Japanese soldier who had not yet fallen asleep said something. He had just been complaining that the diesel generator in the command center had been humming for most of the night, disturbing his sleep, and now it had finally stopped.

On his luggage which he had spread out on the ground, he couldn't help but yawn and finally closed his eyes. He no longer had to count the stars in the sky.

However, the Japanese soldiers who were awake or asleep did not know that in the dark night, Shang Zhen and Xiao Baozi were climbing up the hillside from their command post.

They walked very slowly, partly because it was not easy to climb the mountain in the dark, and partly because they had a lot of spoils.

The spoils on Little Leopard included: three Type 38 rifles, four Type 91 grenades, three telescopes, four bastard boxes, two briefcases, and several bullet boxes tied on the belt around his waist!

These miscellaneous things are described by an idiom from Northeast China called "dilu shugua".

This word sounds very long-winded. In short, it means that it can be hung around the neck, slung over the shoulder, wrapped around the waist, or held in the hands!

In this way, let alone climbing a mountain, even walking would be difficult.

But Shang Zhen said that these things were very important and had to be taken, so the little leopard naturally had to obey.

Shang Zhen’s spoils were not as much as Xiao Baozi’s, but he was not idle either. He was holding two small-looking “boxes” in his hands.

One of the small boxes contained a Japanese military radio.

The second small box is a Japanese hand-cranked generator!

At the same time, yes, at the same time, Shang Zhen was carrying a bag on his back. The bag was made by tying the bed sheets of Japanese officers, and it was filled with some miscellaneous things related to the radio station.

Shang Zhen has never used a radio, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the importance of a radio.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply wrapped all the miscellaneous things with a bed sheet and slung it across his body!

The two of them slowly groped their way up the hillside through the woods, but the process could not be quick.

When it was just getting dark, it took them twenty minutes to get down the hill from a hundred meters down to the foot of the mountain, but this time it took them forty minutes.

And the only one who could climb the hill and walk through the woods in the dark for forty minutes was Shang Zhen. It would be impossible for an ordinary soldier to do it!

It would be fine if it was just the radio station, but the hand-cranked generator weighs more than 100 pounds!

Shang Zhen only knew that if a radio station wanted to send and receive telegrams, it would need a motor, but he didn't know that the coils in the generator were all wrapped with pure copper wire, which was very heavy.

That kind of heaviness is not like carrying two buckets of water up the mountain. It is heavier than that!

Shang Zhen relied entirely on his physical fitness to lift that thing up!

But how could this climb in the dark be considered the end after just passing that relatively flat slope of about 100 meters?

Once the Japanese army discovered that their headquarters had been quietly wiped out by the Chinese army, they would have to search the entire mountain behind them, not to mention the forest on the 100-meter gentle slope.

Shang Zhen and Xiao Baozi only rested for a short while and then began to look for the rope they had placed here when they climbed over the mountain.

How easy is it to find a rope in the dark?

Fortunately, Shang Zhen had foresight and he wrapped the rope around the trees.

It was not wrapped around a tree, but stretched horizontally between several trees.

The two men groped for a while, and then the little leopard let out a low cry. He bumped into the rope!

Shang Zhen then began to climb the steep cliff tirelessly with the rope, pulling up their spoils one by one.

But this process is a back-and-forth process. The rope they carried up the mountain was at least thirty or forty meters long. How could it be possible that it was over a hundred meters long?

You have to know that ropes also have weight.

Shang Zhen and Xiao Baozi tried three times before they managed to hide all the spoils in the woods on the steep mountain wall.

At this point Shang Zhen finally couldn't work anymore, and sweat was pouring down his body as if he had been drenched by rain.

He estimated that it must be at least three o'clock in the morning by now.

It was impossible to climb up further in the dark night, so Shang Zhen and Xiao Baozi rested in the woods on the mountain wall. After eating something and drinking some water, they tied themselves to the tree with ropes and went to sleep. Xiao Baozi was much younger than Shang Zhen. He used to make a living in the mountains with his father. When had he ever endured such fatigue?

So he was thinking about the Japanese devil whom he had killed with an axe today, and finally avenged his family. But he only thought about it for a moment, and then he fell asleep because he felt sleepy.

But when he woke up again, his mouth was blocked. When he confirmed that it was Shang Zhen and heard Shang Zhen signaling him to keep quiet, he realized that it was already daybreak.

"The Japanese are in the woods below." Shang Zhen's words made the little leopard perk up.

He looked up at the hillside below the steep wall and saw the familiar lush trees, but no Japanese devils.

"I saw it! The Japanese bombed the temple!" There was a hint of pride in Shang Zhen's tone.

"Zha Miao Le" is a Northeastern dialect, but Northeastern dialect has always been so easy to understand, which did not prevent Little Leopard from understanding it.

Yes, they destroyed the Japanese headquarters last night! The spoils were still hanging or tied to the tree at their feet.

By the time other Japanese devils discovered the huge changes that had taken place overnight and that a tragedy had occurred at their headquarters, it would be strange if they didn't blow up the temple!

It is reasonable for the Japanese devils to start searching from the hillside upwards.

"Will the Japanese crawl over to us?" Little Leopard was a little worried.

"It's hard to say. We always have to be careful." Shang Zhen replied.

Shang Zhen has developed this skill through long combat marches.

He can sleep as long as he wants.

If he wants to sleep for an hour, he will definitely wake up after an hour. His biological clock is more accurate than the alarm clock!

When Shang Zhen fell asleep early this morning, he was thinking that he would have to wake up at five o'clock.

The reason was that it was already light at five o'clock, and the Japanese devils must have discovered that their headquarters had been destroyed by them.

The Japanese commander was killed, and the radio and the hand-cranked generator were seized by Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen even tore off the epaulettes of the Japanese commander and his command sword.

Oh, by the way, Shang Zhen hasn’t forgotten to take the Japanese army’s code book.

Shang Zhen himself could imagine it.

The headquarters, which the Japanese army thought was the safest, was attacked silently. When they woke up in the morning, all the officers in the headquarters were found dead on their camp beds, and the radio code book had been stolen.

Then, how could the remaining Japanese troops not be anxious?

Then the Japanese army would definitely conduct a search, so how could Shang Zhen not be on guard?

While the little leopard was still sleeping, Shang Zhen had already woken up, untied the ropes on his body, avoided the woods on the mountain, found a place where he could see the foot of the mountain and look down.

He found that the Japanese command post that was attacked by the two of them last night had been surrounded by the Japanese army in three layers, and soon some Japanese troops entered the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Never underestimate the heroes of the world. The Japanese devils are not heroes, but it cannot be denied that there are some Japanese devils who can climb mountains.

Shang Zhen was already considering how to deal with the incoming Japanese troops.
