The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2361: Enemies in Front and Behind
For every little person in this world, he will feel that what he experiences is long and sometimes difficult, but in terms of a larger time and space, the experience of that little person is just a very short moment.

Ai Duidui was promoted from a squad leader to a platoon leader, and Liu Cai was promoted from a soldier to a squad leader, but in this grand war, they were just an episode that could not be any smaller, or just a small note.

And the battle will continue.

When Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji were discussing how to harass the Japanese troops stationed in the back village, a soldier came running over and reported: "Company Commander, we found the Japanese on the road!"

"How much?" Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji asked at the same time.

"I don't quite understand it," the soldier replied.

Shang Zhen raised his legs and ran towards the village entrance, and Xiao Boji quickly followed him.

The soldier who came to report was from Shang Zhen's company.

But he was not a sentry on the mountain, he was a sentry in the village who was responsible for watching the sentries on the mountain.

This may sound confusing, but it is actually true.

Shang Zhen and his men stayed for one night in the front village that was burned down by the Japanese. Of course, they had to post sentries on the mountain near the highway.

Considering that the hilltop is quite far from the village, if the sentry discovers any situation on the road, it would be too slow for him to run back and report.

So Shang Zhen agreed on a few simple flag signals with the sentry, and the sentry could be seen waving the flag on the mountain in the village.

Because of this, although the sentry at the entrance of the village saw the sentry on the mountain raising the flag, he really didn't know what the flag meant. So didn't he have to come to find Shang Zhen?

When Shang Zhen ran to the entrance of the village, he saw that the flag on the mountain was indeed waving. He looked at it for a while and said, "There are not many Japanese soldiers coming over, about one squad. Could it be that the Japanese brigade has begun to retreat? Are these the Japanese vanguards?"

Shang Zhen could only guess this.

"I asked Ai Duidui to lead them up. I just promoted him to be the platoon leader and asked him to perform." Xiao Boji said.

Although Xiao Boji is not quite satisfied with the platoon leader Ai Duidui, he can now be sure that Ai Duidui is not a cowardly person.

The reason why he wanted to promote Ai Duidui to platoon leader was of course because he was impressed by Ai Duidui's fearlessness of death.

Xiao Boji felt that their group was like a pool of stagnant water, and he really hoped that Ai Duidui could become a dogfish or catfish in the pool.

Whether it's pike or catfish, they all eat other fish. He hopes that Ai Duidui can stir up this dead pool of water that they are connected to!
Shang Zhen said, "Okay."

Xiao Boji asked the messenger to quickly call Ai Duidui platoon over.

When the entire platoon of Ai Duidui ran to Xiao Boji, before Xiao Boji could give any orders, another sentry came running over breathlessly and reported, "Company Commander, the Japanese are coming from Houhou Village!"

This time the sentry who reported was from the Xiaoboji Company.

"I saw four or five Japanese soldiers coming out of the woods, walking very slowly. I think there were more than four or five, but I couldn't see them clearly.

The Japanese soldiers walked very slowly and carefully, as if they were afraid of being ambushed." The sentry continued to report.

As for the village behind, they didn't need to run to the top of the mountain to raise the flag like Shang Zhen's men did, because that mountain was much lower and they still had time to run back and report. Besides, the Japanese troops approaching were indeed moving very slowly.

After the sentry finished his report, everyone present looked at Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji. Now that the Japanese devils were coming from both ends, the situation became more complicated. If the Japanese troops coming from the highway rushed to the front village, which was where they were now, then they would be in big trouble.

"The Japanese soldiers coming from the highway may be the vanguards of the Japanese army behind us. There may be a large Japanese army behind us. The Japanese soldiers coming from the back village should be searching for our direction. They are afraid that we will ambush the large Japanese army behind us again." Shang Zhen told him his analysis.

Shang Zhen has now learned from his previous experience in commanding battles. The team he and Xiao Boji are leading now is no longer the same as the original veterans, so he needs to tell his combat intentions to the people below so that they can be better executed.

"Well, Ai Duidui will lead your platoon to monitor the Japanese coming on the road. If they don't come towards us, just ignore them.

I took my men to monitor the Japanese coming from the back village.

Female soldiers, follow the rest of your company. Ignore these two groups of Japanese devils and head towards Qingfeng Mountain.

If a large group of Japanese soldiers come over, you should fight them and then run away as before.

As soon as you guys fire gunfire, I think the Japanese here will all come over when they hear the sound." Shang Zhen outlined his battle plan.

Xiao Boji naturally had no objection to Shang Zhen's battle plan, so he waved his hand and said, "Just do as my eldest brother says!"

Shang Zhen's order was conveyed as quickly as possible, and the Chinese soldiers in the ruins began to act separately.

"Why doesn't the boss let us follow him?" The female soldier who followed Xiao Boji and his men expressed her incomprehension.

It was the first time they had seen the small dustpan, and to be honest, they had no good impression of the National Army.

It is not objective to say that the National Army did not fight against the Japanese invaders, but they were never idle in harming the common people.

Generally speaking, when the national army passed through a village, the officials would look for the people in charge of the village to ask for food and drink.

For example, if you kill a pig for us, kill a certain number of chickens and ducks, you will then make a certain number of white flour cakes for us, and so on.

Which village would dare to say no? The officers of the National Army did not order to rob, but only said that they would lead the team to live in the village.

Which village would dare to let these bastards live in the village? Once they enter the village, they will rob everything they see, and there will be no shortage of cases of harming young girls and wives!

"My eldest brother's side was more troublesome. The Japs came quietly, walking in the woods. Once the fight started, it was difficult to find the Japs, so the requirements for the soldiers were very high.

If we really encounter a large group of Japanese soldiers here, we can just fire a volley of bullets and retreat." Xiao Boji explained patiently.

When saying this, Xiao Boji did not forget to look at the expressions of those female soldiers, and he immediately guessed what they were thinking.

"You don't have to be afraid of the people in our company, they are all brothers. I still say the same thing, if anyone dares to say something he shouldn't say to you or makes a move, just shoot him!" said Xiao Boji.

Xiao Boji's words put the female soldiers at ease. They all thought to themselves that he was indeed their leader's sworn brother and a nice person!

"Have you always been with our leader? Tell us about his past experience fighting the Japanese." Little Laoqi said to Xiao Boji curiously.

What kind of women don't worship heroes? Now the female soldiers' minds are full of the heroic image of Shang Zhen when he fought against the Japanese invaders.

"My eldest brother has experienced so many things in fighting the Japanese that if I were to write them all down I could write Journey to the West. I'll do it when I have time later." Little Boji replied.

They are marching now. Although Xiao Boji is happy to spread the story of Shang Zhen fighting the Japanese, he doesn't have the time to tell these female soldiers about Shang Zhen.

Little Seven realized that this was not the time to tell a story, but then she got confused again. What was Journey to the West? She couldn't read!
