The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2353 Perfect Lure

"Old Seven, lead the team. You stay here. When the Japanese come over, about 200 meters away, you fire a volley of bullets and then retreat. Remember, no one is allowed to fire more than one shot!
Qian Feng, lead the team to the woods on the other side of the road. Each of you can fire two shots, but after that, meet up with Xiao Laoqi and the others. Don't fight too long." Shang Zhen ordered his men.

Xiao Boji gave his men the task, and the soldiers ran to both sides of the road in squads, and Shang Zhen also had to deploy his own men.

"Company Commander, what about you?" Qian Feng heard something behind Shang Zhen's words.

"I'll step back a bit. The ghosts here are too close to be fought, and it won't be easy to run away after fighting them." This was Shang Zhen's answer.

If another officer had given such an answer, the soldiers would have suspected that he was afraid of death, so he let the soldiers lead the way while he himself retreated.

But how could Shang Zhen be someone else?
He ordered his soldiers to shoot at the Japanese army from about 200 meters away, but he himself had to run farther away to shoot at the Japanese army. But Shang Zhen's marksmanship was reliable!
Of course, the soldiers had reason to believe that Shang Zhen's shooting at 400 meters would be more accurate than theirs at 200 meters!

"Husheng, Tangli, Xiyazi, and Yaomei, the four of you stay here. Tangsheng and Tangli, you two must ensure that they retreat immediately after firing a shot!" Just as Shang Zhen ran back, Qian Feng added another order.

Qian Feng had already heard from Shang Zhen that the families of these female team members were killed by the Japanese devils. So he could not rule out the possibility that these female soldiers, eager for revenge, would start a fight without end. He did not want these female soldiers to be killed or injured at his hands!

Everyone started to move, and just as the Japanese army appeared from the foot of the mountain, the last Chinese soldier had just hidden himself.

The Japanese army was really heading for the village where Xiao Baozi lived, which is Houcun.

Neither the village where Yaomei's family lives nor the village where Xiaobaozi's family lives have names. Local people call the former the Front Village and the latter the Back Village.

The front village had been burned down by the Japanese army, so they wouldn't be able to steal anything if they went there. Besides, they didn't want to live there because the roofs of the houses were burned down. So of course they went to the back village.

The Japanese army only robbed Houcun for convenience, but their main purpose was to pave the way for their retreat.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, the small group of Chinese troops that have been extremely active behind them recently has undoubtedly caused them huge trouble. On the one hand, they have lost manpower, but the more important thing is that it is very difficult for them to end the campaign and withdraw their troops now.

They certainly had reason to worry that the Chinese army would continue to harass them during their withdrawal, so this squadron planned to establish a stronghold in the back village to ensure the safe withdrawal of the Japanese troops on the front line.

This is also a worry for the invaders, as the Japanese front line has become longer and longer.

The longer the front line, the longer the supply line. The longer the supply line, the more places they cannot control in the rear. Even the New Fourth Army often destroyed their rear supply lines.

Yes, the New Fourth Army’s guns were very broken and their combat effectiveness was very limited.

But imagine that the military situation at the front is urgent, but the New Fourth Army has dug several big holes on the supply line in the rear. If these holes cannot be filled, your supplies cannot be transported up. In that case, the military situation at the front is not urgent but a real fire!

When they saw the village in the valley, the Japanese commander waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers who were carrying guns and marching forward all raised their rifles. They were also scared!

This was not the first or second time that the Japanese army came to attack Dahongshan. Although they had failed each time, they had never been as miserable as this time.

How did they fight in the past? They used guns, artillery, and even airplanes to launch a fierce attack on the Chinese army's Qingfeng Mountain position.

Although they failed to capture the city each time, they were all carried out in accordance with the previous combat modes of the Chinese and Japanese armies.

But this time, they only fought seriously for two days in Qingfeng Mountain, and the rest of the time they were confused by the small group of Chinese troops operating behind them. Today the infantry artillery was blown up, tomorrow the headquarters was destroyed, and the day after tomorrow the troops who were attacking in a roundabout way were burned by others, and even the radio station and generator were stolen!

With the battle having reached this point, how could the Japanese army possibly organize an effective attack?
So it is better to retreat, prepare for battle again.

By now the Japanese had lost track of the Chinese troops that had been harassing their rear, and now they were heading for the village again. How could they not load their guns and be more careful?
The Japanese army was certainly right to be cautious. As they moved forward, the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers who had already been ambushed began to calculate the distance between them and the Japanese army.

However, Shang Zhen, who had also hidden himself at this time, suddenly realized that due to the urgent military situation, he had also made some omissions. When giving the order, he forgot to say one sentence, which was that the battle would start based on whoever fired the gun.

The Japanese army had entered the encirclement, and Xiao Boji's men had dispersed into squads, and the male and female soldiers in his own company had also dispersed.

So which group fired first? Were there any who were in ambush and close to the Japanese army and suddenly opened fire when they saw the Japanese army coming?

Shang Zhen’s worries are justified.

Shang Zhen's men were fine because they were not afraid of death. But now that the Japanese army was approaching, the mentality of the old veterans of the Xiaoboji Company had changed. Who knew whether it was a ripple in their hearts or a huge wave?
Behind a bush, a soldier's rifle resting on his shoulder was shaking slightly due to nervousness.

Now, the Japanese soldiers walking on the country road, the one in front is right in front of him, and he can even see the face of that Japanese soldier clearly.

To be honest, even though he was a veteran, this was the first time he saw a living Japanese soldier so close.

Just at this moment, the Japanese soldier turned his face towards him.

The Chinese soldier hiding in the bushes felt nervous, and he couldn't help but want to pull the trigger with his right index finger.

But at this moment, a big hand gently pressed on his shoulder.

"Don't move, wait a little longer. It's too late to fight now. It's better to wait so that you can run away." Someone whispered in his ear. It was Ai Duidui, their squad leader.

Ai Duidui's movements and voices were very quiet, but they were still heard by the soldiers in their class.

The seven soldiers in their class were very surprised. They didn't understand why Ai Duidui said that.

But while they hesitated after hearing what Ai Duidui said, the Japanese army moved forward a little, and it was too late for them to shoot again.

As for why there are only eight people left in Ai Duidui's squad including him, it is because the two soldiers disappeared when they followed Xiao Boji to attack the Japanese army at night. The soldiers did not know whether they were killed in action or hiding in the tree.

At least for now, neither Shang Zhen nor Xiao Boji knew that Ai Duidui's action of gently pressing down his soldiers to prevent them from shooting made it possible for them to continue their ambush.

The reason was that on both sides of the road leading into the village, Ai Duidui's squad was ambushing the squad closest to the road.

This is not to say that the soldiers of Ai Duidui's squad are so fearless, but because when Xiao Boji gave the order to ambush the unit on both sides of the road, their squad was a little slow, and the place not too far from the road where a squad could ambush was taken away by other squads!
Now their class has set a good example by not firing their guns.

The Ai Duidui squad, which was closest to the Japanese devils, did not fire any shots, but the other squads knew they should not fire first. If they fired too early, would their company commander Xiao Boji get angry and shoot the person who fired first?
