The dry grass was pressed down, leaving a little bloodstain. Following the pressed dry grass, I soon saw a Northeast Army soldier crawling hard.
Being able to see this wounded soldier at least proved that their efforts were not in vain. Although Shang Zhen and the others could not say they were happy, they could still feel a sense of comfort.
But at this moment, the Northeast Army soldier despaired when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer from behind. He didn't look back, but how could he know that the people chasing him were his own people?
So he, who had been shot, struggled to turn over, and blood began to flow out from his right chest again. He tried hard to unscrew the cap of the grenade in his left hand.
Just when he knew he was going to die and wanted to die together with the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him, he discovered that the people who were chasing him were wearing the same gray cloth clothes as him!
He was stunned!
"The more I chase you, the more you run. Don't you want to live?" said the soldier who was chasing closest. The man spoke in a muffled voice because his original name was "Erhanzi".
"Where are you injured?" At this time, a thin soldier ran to him, squatted down and asked with concern. It was Shang Zhen.
The Northeast Army soldier wanted to answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the pain from the wound made him groan. It was so painful that he felt he couldn't breathe.
The bullet passed through his right chest. If it didn't hit his heart, it must have hit his lungs, right? the soldier thought.
"Erhanzi, carry him on your back and let's go chase those cowards!" Shang Zhen said.
Shang Zhen and his men discovered the trace of the wounded soldier under the cover of the terrain, so they naturally had to take care of it. Even though their own company would not take care of it, Shang Zhen and his men still had to take care of it.
Someone came forward to help, and the strong Erhanzi carried the wounded man on his back, while Shang Zhen and his group chased in the southwest direction.
Shang Zhen and his friends really didn't expect that the reinforcements they had been waiting for for several days would meet them in this way.
It looked like the reinforcements would have to be at least a company. It was okay to say that a company couldn't defeat forty or fifty Japanese soldiers, but you couldn't just collapse at the slightest blow, could you? Even if you could collapse at the slightest blow, you couldn't just abandon the wounded and run away, could you?
Are there such cowards in the Northeast Army? Shang Zhen and the others were really filled with anger, and now, in order to survive, they might as well chase after the reinforcements instead of moving closer to them!
But what actually happened? After Shang Zhen and his men once again eliminated a dozen Japanese soldiers with a surprise attack, the Japanese soldiers in the woods did not dare to chase them out.
Shang Zhen deduced that the reinforcements coming to rescue Ningyuan City could not be just this few people, but now that Liu Cheng's regiment has surrendered to the Japanese army, these reinforcements will definitely retreat after receiving the news. If they don't chase the reinforcements, they will have to face the Japanese army alone again.
Emotionally, they all disliked this team that abandoned the wounded, but rationally they had to chase them. This feeling really made Shang Zhen feel mixed.
"Run faster!" Wang Laomao shouted again.
Everyone's running speed has slowed down compared to yesterday. As the saying goes, an emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. They haven't eaten for the entire day.
Just now, when we were fighting with the Japanese army, we were so anxious that we forgot about being hungry. But now, when we were running again, we were sweating even though our stomachs were empty. But the sweat we were sweating was just cold sweat!
But in order to survive, they had to chase! Everyone felt like they were running for their lives!
After running for a while, Shang Zhen and his group finally couldn't run anymore when they reached a valley.
One by one they squatted on the ground, some even leaned their hands on the ground and gasped for breath.
At this time, Shang Zhen still didn't forget to take a look at the wounded man.
The wounded man had been laid flat on the ground by Hu Zhuzi, while Hu Zhuzi and Erhanzi were squatting beside him, gasping for breath.
No matter how strong Erhanzi was, it was impossible for him to keep up with the team carrying a person on his back. However, he and Hu Zhuzi took turns carrying the wounded man.
Seeing that the wounded man's chest was covered in blood and he was frowning in pain, it seemed that if he didn't die like this, he would die soon!
"These bastards are not active in throwing and hitting the Japanese, but how come they run so fast?" Ma Erhuzi cursed.
"All soldiers are the same." Qiu Bo said at this time.
Ma Erhuzi glanced at the wounded man and said nothing.
"There are actually a lot of things to say about leading troops to fight." Wang Laomao, a veteran, was inspired by what Erhanzi said.
Of course, his words were meant for Shang Zhen to hear.
"An official must have some people of his own under him. If you ask him to attack, he will risk his life to attack for you. Only with such people of his own can the people under him obey and work together.
In fact, all soldiers are really the same. If the leader is not afraid of death, the soldiers will naturally follow. If the leader is a coward, then they will all be cowards! "Wang Laomao was talking about his experience as a platoon leader.
Seeing that Shang Zhen seemed to be listening absent-mindedly but looking ahead, he added, "Whether you become an official or not, you must develop the habit of using a telescope."
With Wang Laomao's reminder, Shang Zhen remembered that the telescope was still hanging around his neck. He simply took off the telescope and handed it to Wang Laomao.
Wang Laomao didn't say anything else. He took the telescope and started looking forward with it.
After a while, Wang Laomao pointed ahead and said, "Found it! It's hiding in the woods ahead!"
Who is hiding in the woods ahead? Of course, it refers to the reinforcements they have been looking for.
Logically, they should be happy that they found this group of people, but when they looked at the wounded man, they really couldn't be happy.
In the end, Shang Zhen reminded everyone: "Be polite to them, we are asking them to do something for us!"
Everyone was speechless.
More than ten minutes later, Shang Zhen and his group of scattered and defeated soldiers finally reunited with more officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army.
Apart from the wounded man's painful cough, there was an awkward silence at the scene, and the face of a Northeast Army company commander standing opposite Shang Zhen and the others was slightly flushed.
As for why the company commander blushed, need I explain? Shang Zhen and the others were angry and aggrieved precisely because of the company commander's blushing.
Why did it take Shang Zhen and his men so long to catch up with their company?
That was because this company also discovered Shang Zhen and the others were behind them, but in their panic, they did not realize that Shang Zhen and the others were their own people. They actually thought that Shang Zhen and the others were Japanese soldiers!
The company commander was already frightened by the Japanese army's small artillery. When he said to run, how could his soldiers not follow him?
Seeing that Shang Zhen and his men had chased them all the way to this valley, the company commander felt that this terrain was foolproof, so he ordered his men to stop and prepare for battle. However, he discovered that the people who had caught up with them were also from their Northeast Army!
You said this matter caused a stir! Even though this company commander has always had a good "psychological quality", now his old face is a little bit embarrassed.
"Hand this brother over to them." Shang Zhen finally spoke.
The brother he was referring to was of course the wounded soldier, who was originally from the opposite company.
Now Shang Zhen and his men have rescued the wounded soldier. No matter whether he can survive in the future, at least he is alive now. Then when the soldiers return to their base, who else can Shang Zhen hand this wounded soldier over to if not this company?
Erhanzi and Huzhuzi helped the wounded soldier up, and at this time soldiers from the opposite side naturally came out to pick him up.
But at this moment, the soldier struggled painfully and fell on Erhanzi's broad shoulders. Erhanzi was so scared that he quickly supported him with his arms.
Erhanzi is now covered in blood, all of which came from the injured soldier.
The wounded man gasped in pain, then reached out and fiddled with the soldier who came to pick him up.
To fiddle with it was naturally a sign of rejection, and the person coming over could only subconsciously retract his hand, and at this moment something that shocked everyone happened.
The wounded soldier stretched out his arm slowly but firmly, and pointed his hand at the company commander opposite him.
Of course, that was his own company commander, and he was originally a member of this company.
No one knew what the wounded man wanted to say, but under the wounded man's finger, the company commander's expression had become evasive, even a little obscene.
"Wang Qing Feng" the soldier said these three words with great difficulty.
In this situation, even if Shang Zhen and the others were dumb, they could figure it out that the soldier must have called the company commander's name.
Then the soldier made a sound like a leaky trachea, and suddenly he roared, "I'll fuck your ancestors!"
Everyone was still in shock and didn't know what was going on when they heard a "puff" sound, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of the soldier's mouth, and then the soldier fell down!
