As the sky gradually brightened, Shang Zhen and the others all hid behind a big rock.
They didn't sleep the whole night, but they were all staring at Qiu Bo.
Incredibly, they reached the end of the ridge during the night.
They had two fears: one was accidentally falling off a ridge or into a rock pit.
The rocks on the ridge and the rocks on the hill are all of the same strange shapes, requiring constant climbing. Wherever there is climbing, there is also a place to go down. You have to be careful even during the day, so how can it be so easy to get through in the dark?
What's more, their second fear came up next. They couldn't make any noise because they were afraid that the Japanese soldier hiding in the dark would suddenly shoot at them.
They took advantage of the darkness to sneak towards the other side of the mountain from the ridge, but whether they were Chinese or Japanese, they all had hands and feet. Who could guarantee that the Japanese soldier would not sneak towards them?
If the Japanese soldiers had sneaked over from that end in the dark and made a noise, the enemy would have been able to kill several of them with just one grenade.
However, they didn't know whether the Japanese cavalry had grenades.
Both of these fears are fatal. If you make a mistake in one of them, you will be doomed.
And why are they all looking at Qiu Bo now? It is because Qiu Bo is doing the most important thing. Whether they can kill the Japanese soldier hiding in the dark depends on Qiu Bo.
Qiu Bo looked at Shang Zhen beside him.
Shang Zhen was shivering in the cold wind of early winter. The reason he was shivering was that he was not wearing a military uniform!
It is early winter now, and military uniforms are cotton-padded clothes. In other words, their clothes are just cotton-padded jackets. It does not mean that they wear a cotton-padded jacket inside and a single piece of clothing outside.
Not wearing a military uniform means that Shang Zhen is only wearing a pair of shorts, and his skinny body looks like he is going into battle shirtless!
Although Shang Zhen thought he was a little fatter than before, his ribs were still clearly visible when he was almost naked.
His skin was covered with a dense layer of small bumps, which were caused by the cold.
Moreover, not only Shang Zhen is like this now, Erhanzi and Huzhuzi are also wearing only a pair of shorts like Shang Zhen.
But in this situation, none of them laughed, because they wanted to survive. They didn't want any of them to be shot by the Japanese soldier hiding in the dark. All the efforts made to survive should not be ridiculed.
At this time, Shang Zhen saw Qiu Bo looking at him, and he nodded.
So Qiu Bo, who was lying on the edge of the big rock, pushed the "person" he was holding forward.
Yes, that's a person, a dummy.
Where did the clothes on Shang Zhen and the others go? Their clothes have become the dummies in Qiu Bo's hands!
It was now getting light. If they showed up with a hat poked by a bayonet, they didn't know whether the Japanese soldiers hiding somewhere would be able to see it. A hat was too small to be a false target!
So Shang Zhen thought of making a fake person.
But where can they find the materials to make dummies on such a rocky mountain?
Shang Zhen contributed his cotton jacket and trousers, but they were just the skin of a mannequin and needed to be filled with flesh.
It cannot be said that there is no grass growing on the rocky mountain, but it is early winter now, so how can those hard bushes hold any fruit?
So, Erhanzi and Huzhuzi also contributed their cotton coats and trousers, which were stuffed into Shang Zhen's coat and trousers, thus making a dummy.
There is a reason why we need to use the cotton coats of these three people.
Shang Zhen is thin, so his cotton-padded jacket is also thin, requiring the least filling.
Erhanzi and Huzhuzi are strong and can withstand the cold, so they are less likely to catch a cold if they take off all their clothes.
The place they chose to use the dummy was also carefully selected. In front of it was a large gap several meters long on the ridge. If the Japanese soldier was on the high point opposite, he should be able to see here.
Shang Zhen and his men were going to use this method to fish out the Japanese soldier like fishing.
Of course, they could have chosen to move forward directly without going through so much trouble, but the problem was that when it got light, the Japanese soldier would see them and they would have to bear the risk of being attacked by him.
For the sake of our lives, there is no punishment that cannot be endured!
Qiu Bo pushed the dummy slowly forward, while everyone except Shang Zhen and Qiu Bo hid behind different rocks. The index finger of the right hand holding the gun was already on the trigger. Erhanzi and Hu Zhuzi each had an egg-shaped grenade of the Japanese army in their hands, and the pin of the grenade had been pulled out.
God knows where that Japanese soldier is. I hope he is not too close to them. As long as they can see that Japanese soldier, everything will be easy.
The reason why they didn't dare to rush out again yesterday was that they still couldn't find where the Japanese soldier was.
This time they have already found this position. As soon as they find the Japanese soldier, they can beat him up in groups!
"That bastard, don't let me down, come out quickly!" Shang Zhen, who was wearing shorts and holding his flower machine, muttered in a low voice.
The trick of using a dummy is really strange. If it succeeds, it is a good trick. If it fails, it is a bad idea. As a leader, he also bears the pressure, and at the same time he has to endure the torture of low temperature.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality may not be as good as expected. Qiu Bo has already pushed the upper body of the dummy out, but there is still no sound of gunfire from the Japanese army.
Qiu Bo could only turn around and look at Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen trembled and thought for a moment, then he held the gun with his left hand, squatted down, and picked up a fist-sized stone with his right hand.
Shang Zhen touched the stone in order to make some noise.
It was just daybreak now, and the Japanese could see the dummy but couldn't see it clearly. As long as the Japanese soldier showed up, it would be easy for Shang Zhen and the others to determine his location!
But before Shang Zhen could throw the piece out, they suddenly heard the "hissing" sound that they were familiar with yesterday, followed by a loud explosion. The Japanese army's attack on the hill began again.
This time their pressure increased again. If they could not enter the mountains from the ridge as soon as possible, the Japanese army would catch up from behind.
Shang Zhen's upper and lower teeth continued to tremble, but he did not throw the stone away. The explosion was too loud, and he threw the stone just to attract the attention of the Japanese soldier.
The explosion was so loud that throwing stones was useless.
Shang Zhen waited for a while, and the explosions finally stopped. Needless to say, the Japanese army had already climbed up the hill from the bottom of the hill.
Just as Shang Zhen was about to throw the stone and it made a clanging sound, a gunshot rang out. And it was just one shot!
A bullet had hit the dummy that Qiu Bo had pushed out. The bullet had ejected and no one knew where it went, but the flying stone chips still splashed on Qiu Bo's face.
At the sound of the gunshot, the Northeast Army soldiers who were hiding behind the rocks suddenly appeared. Those with guns pointed their guns forward, while Hu Zhuzi and Erhanzi simultaneously knocked the copper caps on the grenades with the rocks beside them and threw them out.
"There!" "He he he", the machine in Qian Chuan'er's hand started to make noises.
Because he was distracted just now, Shang Zhen came out a little late and did not see where the Japanese soldier was hiding. However, the bullet from the submachine gun in Qian Chuan'er's hand hit a large rock more than 30 meters away, causing sparks to fly.
This is the best indicator target. There is no doubt that the Japanese soldier is hiding behind the big rock.
At this time, there were two more "boom" sounds. It was Erhanzi and Huzhuzi who threw the grenades and they exploded. However, the grenades they threw did not explode near the big rock. One threw it off target and the other threw it too far away.
"Oh, where did you throw it?" Wang Laomao complained.
Shang Zhen did not complain, but he just threw the stone in his hand away.
In the morning light, they all saw the small stone hit the big rock where the Japanese soldier was hiding, and then rolled down.
At this moment, they all heard a loud "Ah" scream from the front, and then the Japanese soldier actually jumped out from behind the big rock!
Erhanzi and Hongzhuzi threw the two grenades off target. Although they did not hit the Japanese soldier, the Japanese soldier became a frightened bird.
Shang Zhen's stone happened to hit him again. In panic, the Japanese soldier thought a grenade fell from his head, so he jumped up from behind the big stone.
If the King of Hell wants you dead at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to stay until five o'clock? The Japanese soldier's fate finally came.
"He he he", "bang", "bang", a chaotic sound of gunfire rang out. Although the figure of the Japanese soldier only flashed for a moment, there were more than ten people staring at him. The Japanese soldier stumbled and fell down.
"Charge!" Wang Laomao shouted and ran forward, and everyone followed him. Qiu Bo did not forget to drag the dummy made of cotton clothes and trousers!
We can’t leave that dummy behind, Shang Zhen and the others still need to put on clothes.
