The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2415: Serial Ambushes
Shang Zhen was not with those female soldiers. Instead, he took Tang Li and Niu Jingrui to ambush in the northwest direction leading to Tuqiao Village.

How could it be enough to just kill the father of a traitor?
Shang Zhen has already decided to return to Shandong and doesn't mind making things a bigger fuss here.

If he led his men to kill Old Li, then there was no way that the pseudo-army commander would not bring his troops back. Regardless of whether it was for funeral or revenge, Shang Zhen wanted to see if he could kill the pseudo-army commander as well.

That's why he brought his men to wait on the road that the pseudo-legion commander had to take to return home.

"Captain, do you know that guy will definitely come back from here?" Tang Li asked Shang Zhen curiously.

"How would I know?" Shang Zhen replied disapprovingly, "Riding a horse on the road should be the fastest."

Shang Zhen and his men are now ambushing at the edge of Dahong Mountain. The mountain has lowered and turned into a hilly area, but the trees are still lush.

Less than a hundred meters ahead of them was the road, the only way for the Japanese army to come out of the base camp to attack Dahongshan, and also the only way for the puppet army commander to go home.

"Maybe that pseudo-army commander is just an animal and doesn't care about his father." Niu Jingrui came up with another explanation.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but shook his head when he heard Niu Jingrui say this.

He didn't think that the puppet army commander would not come back to avenge Old Li. He suddenly felt that it was not worth it for Chinese people to be traitors.

Although he surrendered to the Japanese devils, he was still a Chinese. He even cared about his father and avenged him. Isn't this funny?

Shang Zhen was just thinking about it when Tang Li suddenly said, "Someone's coming out!"

Shang Zhen and the other three looked towards the road, and they saw two horses galloping.

What Tang Li said was that someone came out, not that someone was coming.

However, those two people ran away from Tuqiao Village, probably to report the death of the pseudo-corps commander.

Shang Zhen picked up the telescope and observed for a moment and confirmed that the two guys who came out were indeed the guards of the Li family compound, because he knew one of them!
That guy was the one who lied that he was an insider of the New Fourth Army.

When Shang Zhen ordered the execution of all the men with guns in the Li family's guardhouse, that guy said that he was a spy for the New Fourth Army. Shang Zhen was almost amused by his anger, thinking to himself, how could you, you bastard, even say such things just to save your life!
But in the end he let the guy go. He really didn't care about the life or death of a traitor. He just wanted to know how this guy would end up after telling such a lie.
But this guy is really lucky. Now he has run right under my nose, but I still can't beat him to death.

"I don't know when the surviving son will come back. It's better not to come back before dark." Shang Zhen said.

"Why?" Tang Li asked puzzledly.

"Why? Fuck! Use your brain too. How can we tell which son is which after dark?" Niu Jingrui said angrily.

Niu Jingrui expressed Shang Zhen’s concerns, and Shang Zhen smiled silently.

Why? Hey grass!
As for this statement, Niu Jingrui must have learned it from Xiao Boji.

Because when Shang Zhen was with his fellow Northeast Army veterans, they often said this.

It is said that the Northeastern dialect is the easiest language to spread in Chinese.

It is similar to Mandarin, so everyone can understand it, and it is also funny and humorous.

I really miss my old friends! Shang Zhen's mind was overwhelmed at this moment, thinking about what it would be like when his old friends were together.

Shang Zhen and the other two waited on the side of the road for the entire afternoon, but Tang Li and Niu Jingrui did not find the wait boring because Hu Sheng and a few female soldiers arrived at around three o'clock, bringing them horse meat.

I filled my stomach and chatted with the female soldiers, so time naturally passed quickly.

At this time, they were not in the same place as Shang Zhen. Shang Zhen was on a relatively high hillside behind, while they were hiding on a mound below the hillside. Of course, the mound was covered with bushes.
"Okay, that's enough. You girls should go back to the company commander." Hu Sheng said to Xiao Laoqi and the others.

"The company commander is afraid of disturbing you, so he'd better stay with you." said Little Laoqi.

"Don't stay with us. If that fake legion commander really brings people here, can you run away?" Niu Jingrui said.

Since Niu Jingrui said so, Xiao Laoqi had no choice but to agree.

Seeing Xiao Laoqi and the others leave, Tang Li couldn't help but complain to Niu Jingrui: "The sun has already set, how can the puppet army still come?"

"Promising!" Hu Sheng said to Tang Li.

Tang Li's face turned red, while Niu Jingrui tried to hold back his laughter.

The reason for this situation was actually just because Tang Li liked to stay with those female soldiers.

"It's getting dark soon. If it gets dark, we won't be able to ambush that old man's son even if he comes back." Tang Li changed the subject.

"Didn't the company commander say that we should retreat when it gets dark?" Hu Sheng stopped making fun of Tang Li.

But just when the three of them thought that the puppet army would not arrive, their faces changed involuntarily because they heard some movement, the faint sound of horse hooves.

The three of them exchanged glances, and then they all became excited, and fired their cannons at the same time. The hillside where Shang Zhen was hiding was less than a hundred meters away from the road, so the three of them were naturally closer to the road, and now they were only sixty or seventy meters away.

When Shang Zhen fought against the enemy, he would always adopt different tactics according to different targets and local conditions.

This time, in order to ensure that the pseudo-legion commander could be killed, Shang Zhen adopted the method of divided attack.

Hu Sheng, Tang Li and Niu Jingrui were in the front with box guns, attacking the puppet army officers who appeared on the road, while Shang Zhen himself was responsible for providing cover on the hillside behind with a rifle.

Hu Sheng and his men only needed to fire one round of volleys before they could retreat.

The box guns are all equipped with wooden boxes. Although none of Hu Sheng and the other three can be called sharpshooters, it is still very likely to kill the target with the dense firepower of the box guns.

Hu Sheng and the other three stopped talking and looked towards the higher hill diagonally in front of them. The sound of horse hooves came from there.

Soon, the first horse appeared, and the people sitting on it were indeed puppet soldiers.

Since they are puppet troops, it won't be a big deal. As for whether the puppet army commander will come back with them, it is unknown. They just need to fight those with high positions.

The puppet soldiers came back on horseback. As soon as the first horse showed its head, the puppet soldiers on horseback behind it followed one after another. There was a lot of noise, about thirty or forty riders, and they all urged their horses to move quickly.

"There's an official running in the middle!" Hu Sheng said anxiously.

Following Hu Sheng's words, Tang Li and Niu Jingrui also found the target, and the black muzzles of three box guns pointed towards it.

Those puppet soldiers were running fast on their horses. It was their bad luck that they encountered an extremely bold and difficult opponent like Shang Zhen.

After a while, the horses were running closer.

"Keep calm, I'll fight you together if I say so." Hu Sheng said.

Because of the angle, the puppet soldiers in front now blocked those officials.

After a while, Hu Sheng finally caught a glimpse of the faces of two or three officers running among the puppet troops.

"Fire!" Hu Sheng shouted. At the same time, the box guns in the hands of the three of them started firing "bang bang bang".

The magazines of the three twenty-round box guns were emptied in just a moment. The puppet soldiers were now scattered. Some of them rode forward, but those who were hit by bullets fell down like wheat cut by a sickle!

In an instant, these puppet soldiers on horseback were thrown to the ground.

"Retreat!" Hu Sheng shouted, and the three of them turned around and slipped behind the mound.

At this time, the sound of rifles rang out behind them.

This time it wasn't just Shang Zhen himself, but the female soldiers also started shooting at the same time as Shang Zhen.

Puppet troops are puppet troops. You see, they are usually very powerful in front of ordinary people, but when they are attacked, they have no combat effectiveness when they are not at an advantage in terms of manpower. No one fights back at all. The survivors, as soon as they see that the situation is not right, urge their horses to rush forward.

Looking at the road again, more than twenty cavalrymen had fallen.

Some puppet soldiers were still struggling on the road, but bullets were fired from the hillside again. This time it was the sound of a box gun. It was Shang Zhen who was using a box gun.

If you pretend to be dead as a fake soldier, you may be able to escape with your life, but anyone who can move will be shot again.

"Let's go, retreat!" Shang Zhen shouted.

This time Shang Zhen and his men did not clean up the battlefield.

Shang Zhen thought that the pseudo-army commander was in a hurry to come back to attend the funeral, so of course he rode back on a horse. There must be a large pseudo-army behind him, right?
Lao Zhe decided to finish the novel early, instead of continuing it until the end of the Anti-Japanese War as originally planned.

There is only one reason for doing this, and it is not because of how many words are in this novel, but because Dianniang launched a writing competition for the 80th anniversary of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the treatment of selected works is still very good.

If this book of Guanshan Longchong is not finished, Laozhe really does not have the energy to write two parts at the same time.

Anti-Japanese texts are a niche genre, and book lovers who love to read them all know that in recent years, except for the vast majority of time-travel works, there are fewer and fewer anti-Japanese texts that describe the real war of resistance.

In fact, the income from Lao Zhe's novel is not as much as those of time-travel novels.

Because there is a writing contest and there is such an opportunity that may be different, Laozhe is willing to give it a try.

I also hope that I can avoid the rather procrastinating habits of my previous novels in my new work and write something different. I hope to receive the continued support from book lovers who like Lao Zhe’s works!

If there is a chance in the future, Laozhe will consider writing another book about the expeditionary force, as a compensation for this book.

Thanks again to all the book friends for supporting Lao Zhe's works!!
