The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2387: Some are aggressive, some are avoiding war

"Gen'er, are you okay? Let me take a look." The heavy machine gun above his head was still roaring, but his life was no longer in danger, so Zhou Jingyong began to look after his eldest nephew.

Zhou Liqian moved around a bit, and was able to move just fine. It looked like he was just frightened by the gunshot, and he was indeed fine. Zhou Jingyong finally felt relieved.

"Uncle, let's retreat?" Zhou Liqian said amid the popping-bean-like sound of gunfire.

He was really scared.

"Where to retreat? Don't move. This is the safest place. The Japanese can't reach us with their machine guns and we don't have any cannons." Zhou Jingyong was very calm.

He now regretted coming forward, but he couldn't retreat now. There was a small patch of bushes behind the rocks when he came here, and the three of them crawled over from under the bushes.

The Japanese army was firing so densely now, who knew that they would not be hit by the Japanese bullets if they hid in the bushes? The Japanese army now had heavy machine guns.

Zhou Jingyong certainly knew that the heavy machine gun could hit an entire area (area coverage). If the Japanese machine gunner sneezed, the grip would shake and the bullet would hit the bushes right away.

It cannot be said that Zhou Jingyong was wrong, but just as he finished saying that the Japanese army had no artillery, there was a sudden "boom" explosion in front of the big rock where they were hiding.

Following the explosion, flying stone chips and shrapnel were stirred among the rocks, making a clanging sound!
Just as Menzi cried out "Ouch", the fragments of the shrubs and wormwood that were blown away fell down again, looking like countless fluttering butterflies!

"Run! Follow me!" Zhou Jingyong said anxiously, and he did not forget to pull his nephew Zhou Liqian when he got up!
We can't stay in this place anymore. What I said is just coming true. I just mentioned the cannon, and then the Japanese devils fired grenades at us!

"Why don't you run back?" Zhou Liqian, who was following his uncle to the right, asked in confusion.

"There are no stones behind!" Zhou Jingyong replied.

The three men took cover of the rocks and ran to the right amid the hail of bullets. They had only run less than twenty meters when they heard another "bang" behind them!
What is instinct? When danger comes, you can't help but react. The three people instinctively fell forward, and then the flying stone pieces and debris hit them again.

"Run!" Zhou Jingyong and Menzi just lay down and then jumped up again.

Zhou Jingyong is already in his forties this year, Menzi is two years younger than him, and Zhou Liqian is only in his early twenties.

But the reaction of this man in his early twenties was slower than those two men who were eighty years old together. Instead, those two men stretched out their hands at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, pulling Zhou Liqian's shoulders and running forward!

Why would I go to the frontline if there is nothing wrong? Even if I go to the frontline, why would I bring Gen with me? Who is protecting whom?
Zhou Jingyong regretted it, but what's the use of regretting it now? Besides, he must have no regrets in taking good care of the only child of his old Zhou family!

The three men stumbled forward among the rocks, and the grenades fired by the Japanese army behind them seemed to have eyes and exploded behind them.

"This is fucking weird!" Zhou Jingyong cursed, but Menzi shouted, "Hide here!"

They crawled into a crevice surrounded by rocks, which provided a ready-made shelter.

As soon as they hid inside, they heard several explosions in succession from behind.

"No, this is a grenade launcher! Can the Japanese devil's grenade launcher shoot so far?" Menzi, who was hiding in the crevice and breathing heavily, finally reacted.

Zhou Jingyong also reacted after Menzi said that, but then he was so angry that he shouted: "Zhang Jidong, where the hell did you go?"

Now that he was relatively safe in the bunker, Zhou Jingyong remembered his own people. He was now the head of a regiment, not a soldier who had fought bravely on the battlefield. This meant that he was only the leader of the supervision team. There was another company ahead of him, right? Where did all these people go?

But as the saying goes, the current official is not as good as the current manager. There is no point in Zhou Jingyong being anxious now. At this moment, Xiao Boji was leading some soldiers, carefully wading across a small river and heading diagonally into the woods opposite.

The bushes by the river provided them with sufficient cover, so they were not worried about being discovered by the Japanese troops on the mountain.

Their target now was a dozen or so Japanese soldiers who had come down from the mountain.

Originally, after Shang Zhen attacked the Japanese army and Xiao Boji and his men used heavy machine guns to attack the Japanese troops on the mountain, they thought that today's battle was over.

Xiao Boji, Shang Zhen and Zhu Weiyan met and agreed that they wanted to move the heavy machine gun forward.

Now that the battle had already begun, they decided to be brave and move the heavy machine gun to the small river ahead.

It was only 200 meters away from the foot of Houersai Mountain, so it could be said that they were operating under the noses of the Japanese army. However, daring to take risks was exactly what Shang Zhen, Xiao Boji and the others had always done.

They planned to provide fire cover for Zhu Weiyan's battalion by the creek tomorrow when they launched an attack on the Japanese troops on the mountain. It would be convenient to get water for the heavy machine guns there.

Of course, Xiao Boji has also thought about it. I have provided you, Lao Zhu, with the heavy machine gun, but don't expect my people to serve as machine gunners for you. You have to use your own people.

As for why Xiao Boji was unwilling to use his own people as machine gunners?
Placing the heavy machine gun there can certainly provide powerful firepower output to the attacking troops, but after all, it is under the noses of the Japanese army. The Japanese grenade launchers on the mountain can blow up the heavy machine gun in minutes!
At this time, don't say that it's everyone's responsibility to defend the land and fight the war. Your mission is yours, your danger is yours. I am the supervisory team, and I am giving face to your boss by not shooting at you!

But not long after Xiao Boji and his men moved the disassembled heavy machine gun to the riverside using the cover of the terrain, they discovered that Japanese troops were sneaking down the mountain!
At this time, Xiao Boji didn't know whether Shang Zhen and Zhu Weiyan had discovered that there were Japanese troops coming down the mountain.

But if he didn't dare to fight more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, how could he be so arrogant? So he asked a squad of soldiers to watch the heavy machine guns, and he led a dozen of his own people to the direction of the Japanese army.

The soldiers in that squad were Zhu Weiyan's men, and they were responsible for operating this heavy machine gun.

As for why the Japanese army came down, Xiao Boji couldn't figure it out. God knows why the Japanese army would risk sending people down the mountain at dusk. Who knows if they were conducting reconnaissance or ambushing troops in advance?
But when the Japanese army's heavy machine guns and grenade launchers sounded, Xiao Boji immediately understood that the Japanese soldiers were coming for their heavy machine guns!

Xiao Boji knew that the Japanese army's grenade launchers, even the latest ones, could only fire about four to five hundred meters. On the mountain, the Japanese army's firepower except for heavy machine guns could not reach the position where their heavy machine guns were previously located.

So the Japanese army actually sent people down to use grenade launchers to attack that heavy machine gun!
This is really the case of "if there is a road to heaven, you will go to hell if you don't take it". However, the Japanese army had no idea that they had secretly moved the heavy machine guns under their noses.

As long as the heavy machine gun does not fire, the Japanese army will not be able to find this heavy machine gun, at least before the war starts tomorrow.

Since these Japanese troops are here, let them stay!

As for the fact that his regiment commander Zhou Jingyong actually came to the front line to inspect in person, Xiao Boji had no eyes at the back of his head, so how could he know?

And even if he had eyes on the back of his head, he couldn't see. The terrain of the valley was too complicated. There were no hills in the middle but there were trees, bushes and huge rocks. People walking in it would be like little ants walking through the grass. How could you see if you didn't climb to the top of the tree?
Xiao Boji looked at the terrain as he ran forward. He saw a small forest on the left and a patch of uneven rocks on the right. He hesitated for a moment, pointed to the right, and led the way to run towards the rocks.

The Japanese troops that came to attack were in the front left. Logically, they would have a wider field of vision if they fought the devils through the woods, but Xiao Boji could not just think about eliminating these dozen devils, he also had to think about what to do after eliminating them.

Once they opened fire, their position would be exposed. The woods could hide people but could not block bullets!
