The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2382: Same “Prescription”, Different Effects

As an officer in the same division, Xiao Boji certainly knew Zhu Weiyan.

Of course, they had never fought together before, and if they had any friendship, it was only a nodding acquaintance.

But it’s hard not to be familiar with it next time.

Xiao Boji and Shang Zhen would never take chicken feathers as a token of authority and really open fire on their own people from behind. What they told Zhu Weiyan was, "We will cover you from the back." After all, they now have heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and sharpshooters like Shang Zhen.

For Zhu Weiyan, it was, well, at least no one was pointing a gun at their backs, which made him feel at ease.

But what can they do even if this is the case? They still need to take down the monkey.

Shang Zhen's advice to Zhu Weiyan was to not rush into the attack, but to first find out where the Japanese army's firepower points were, such as the Japanese army's heavy machine gun positions and the Japanese army's light machine gun positions, and then start the battle by shooting from behind. The regiment must not think that they had no idea at all.

Zhu Weiyan looked at Shang Zhen in surprise for a while, and in his heart he couldn't help but look down on Shang Zhen.

He thought to himself, Zhang Jidong said that you are his sworn brother and are very good at fighting the Japanese, but what is the difference between the trick you gave me and the one we used before?

Fire a few shots at the Japanese positions from a distance, or just have a lively fight and fire all your light machine guns and rifles, even your heavy machine gun, and symbolically attack up the mountain.

When casualties were inevitable in the army, they would withdraw the troops and go back to report to the regiment commander that we couldn't take it. Even if all of us died in battle, we still couldn't take down the Monkey King Pass!

Looking at the situation this time, if their battalion cannot take Houer Pass, let alone what will happen to the soldiers, at least he, as the battalion commander, will not get anything good.

After weighing the pros and cons for a while, Zhu Weiyan agreed to Shang Zhen's proposal.

Although their superiors had told their regiment to take down Houersai, they did not specify how long it would take to do so, so let's just put it off for now.

But then Zhu Weiyan found out that he was wrong. Shang Zhen insisted on making different effects with the same prescription.

Shang Zhen first asked him to pick out a few soldiers with good eyesight from their camp, and it would be even better if some of them were farsighted.

He asked someone to give him a telescope, saying that they were supposed to find the Japanese soldiers on the mountain and he would be responsible for shooting them.

However, by the time Zhu Weiyan really selected five soldiers with good eyesight from the entire camp, it was already afternoon.

You have to know that this process cannot be quick, after all, the people in their camp are not together.

After selecting the people, Shang Zhen said, "Don't observe today. The telescope will reflect light and the Japanese will not see it."

They were now on the east side of Houer Pass, the sun was setting, and it was easy for the telescope to reflect light when observing the Japanese army.

Then Shang Zhen said to Zhu Weiyan, "Captain Zhu, how about lending me your five soldiers?"

Zhu Weiyan didn't need these five people to fight the monkey, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

But when the five people followed Shang Zhen's small dustpan back, they received a lot of envious looks.

Everyone knows that the further back you are, the safer it is. If you serve as an observation post for Shang Zhen, you won't have to charge towards Houersai, and you can save your life.

Zhu Weiyan was the battalion commander. He knew that the strategy Shang Zhen gave him was only a temporary measure. He still had to deploy his troops, so he did not follow.

The day passed just like that.

At dawn the next day, Zhu Weiyan led a few people back. He wanted to see what tricks Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji could come up with that were all worn out by the old soldiers.

When Zhu Weiyan and his friends' shoes were soaked by the morning dew, he just happened to hear Shang Zhen say, just a few meters away in front of him: "If anyone of you see the Japs, tell me!" Zhu Weiyan only knew that Shang Zhen said he would shoot the Japs from behind, but he didn't expect that he didn't notice Shang Zhen even when he walked up to them!
When he looked closely, he found that Shang Zhen was actually just a few meters in front of him. Grass had "grown" on his body, and even on his rifle and telescope.

If there wasn't a rock with a rifle in front of Shang Zhen, he might have stepped on Shang Zhen!
"battalion commander"

"battalion commander"

Another voice was heard. It was the soldier he lent to Shang Zhen yesterday.

Although the five soldiers were not very close to him, they were no more than thirty or fifty meters away.

But like Shang Zhen, they all disguised themselves.

Zhu Weiyan took a closer look and discovered that Shang Zhen and his men were all wearing camouflage clothes made of green nets, which were all covered with twigs and leaves of wormwood.

If he hadn't been so close, he would never have noticed.

To be sure, he and the soldiers he brought with him also wore grass wreaths on their heads for protection, but compared with Shang Zhen and his men, they were undoubtedly dwarfed by their size.

"You guys continue." Zhu Weiyan said after suppressing his inner surprise, then he waved his hand and said, "You guys should hide." He turned around and lay down behind a rock more than ten meters behind Shang Zhen.

Now Shang Zhen has aroused his curiosity.

Zhu Weiyan estimated that they were now about 500 meters away from the Japanese position. Five hundred meters is one mile!
In Zhu Weiyan’s opinion, anyone who can hit the enemy with one shot at even 200 to 300 meters, let alone 500 meters, can be called a sharpshooter!

You have to know that they are a ragtag army, and none of their guns are as useful as the Type 38 rifle, not to mention that no one can kill the enemy with one shot from such a long distance.

Zhu Weiyan was just thinking about it when he heard a soldier report: "Captain Shang, I saw a little Japanese soldier behind a rock on the mountain!"

"I saw one too, behind a tree!" the second soldier reported shortly afterwards.

"Don't be anxious, we're all watching closely, one by one." Shang Zhen said, and then asked the first soldier about the specific location where the Japanese troops were hiding opposite, and he also picked up the telescope to look.

It was summer and the mountains were still green. Without a telescope, Shang Zhen couldn't see where the Japanese troops were hiding.

There is a slight breeze today. The branches are still but the leaves are swaying slightly.

After daybreak, neither side fired a single shot.

Where there are mountains and forests, there are birds, and from time to time you can hear the clear chirping of birds.

Zhu Weiyan sighed silently, how nice it would be if there was no war here.

However, Shang Zhen's voice immediately brought him back to reality.

"There is a row of small trees there, and there are stones under the trees," reported the soldier who first discovered the Japanese army.

Shang Zhen also began to observe, and Zhu Weiyan stretched out his hand to ask his communications soldier for a telescope. However, just at this moment, his communications soldier also wrapped grass around his telescope.

"Okay, I see it." Shang Zhen said after a while.

Zhu Weiyan glanced at Shang Zhen, and seeing Shang Zhen put down the telescope and picked up the Type 38 rifle, he hurriedly put the telescope back to look.

Zhu Weiyan saw clearly through the telescope that behind a rock, a Japanese soldier had half of his head exposed and was looking down the mountain.

Can Zhang Jidong's sworn brother do it? Zhu Weiyan was a little unconvinced but also a little excited. So, let's wait and see!
