The small group of five people took action again. Hou Kanshan, who was originally worried about Jinzhou being occupied by the Japanese army, was now described with four more words: depressed and frustrated.
There were only five of them in total. Qian Chuan'er and Erhanzi were in the same group as Shang Zhen, needless to say. And this time Chen Hanwen had also made his attitude clear, so he was isolated.
Because he walked slowly with his head down, he naturally followed behind, and at this time Erhanzi, who was walking in front, kept looking back.
"Erhanzi, what are you looking at?" Qian Chuaner noticed Erhanzi's behavior and asked.
"No! I have to go to the back!" Erhanzi said seriously.
"Why?" Shang Zhen and Qian Chuan'er asked curiously.
"That bastard doesn't look like a good guy to me. I hope he doesn't shoot us from behind!" It turned out that this was the question that Erhanzi was thinking about.
Who says that a real person must have a real heart? A real person is just real, but being real does not mean being a tiger.
"Not really." Shang Zhen doesn't think so.
"Why not?" The stubborn Erhanzi disagreed.
"Chuan'er, do you remember what we heard about?" Erhanzi said seriously.
"Go ahead, go ahead. You walk at the back and don't let the bullets cause the fire to start again!" said Qian Chuan'er, who has always known Erhanzi.
He knew that Erhanzi would sometimes have his own clever tricks. What would a stubborn person with clever tricks do? He would definitely use his clever tricks to the end!
Seeing Erhanzi say "Oh" and walk away, Shang Zhen whispered to Qian Chuaner: "What exactly was that thing Erhanzi was talking about just now?"
"Oh." Qian Chuan'er explained to Shang Zhen, "I heard that a new recruit in a company was beaten by the veterans. In a fit of rage, he stabbed to death several of those who bullied him in the middle of the night!"
"Is that so." Shang Zhen nodded, "Then did he move those who didn't beat him?"
"No, no. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. After he killed the old soldiers who bullied him, he shot himself." Qian Chuaner continued to explain.
"Oh, every wrong has its perpetrator, he's a real man!" Shang Zhen nodded again, but then he asked curiously, "Did he use a pistol like yours?"
"No, it's a rifle. How could a soldier have a pistol? This gun belongs to our company commander who was killed in action. I took it from him." Qian Chuaner continued to explain.
Shang Zhen's eyes showed a puzzled expression, and he asked, "How do you shoot yourself with a rifle?"
After Shang Zhen finished speaking, he reached out and pointed the rifle at himself.
In Shang Zhen's opinion, the rifle is so long, but the human arm is not that long. So how can he use his fingers to pull the trigger and turn the gun upside down to shoot himself?
"Ha!" Qian Chuan'er laughed when he saw Shang Zhen's expression. "It seems you are really a new recruit!"
"You are just a new recruit. When have I ever lied to you?" Shang Zhen replied.
"To commit suicide with a rifle, you stick the butt of the rifle on the ground, point the gun at your chin or head, and then use your toes to pull the trigger." As a veteran, Qian Chuaner could only continue teaching Shang Zhen.
"That's fine!" Shang Zhen, who was not very knowledgeable, stretched out his feet while walking, and then imitated saying "pang".
Qian Chuan'er laughed.
But before Qian Chuan'er could finish laughing, they heard a "pang" gunshot from the front!
Since Shang Zhen and the other five approached Jinzhou City, they really had not heard a single gunshot, so this gunshot sounded so harsh at this moment.
At the sound of the gunshot, the five men shuddered at the same time and raised their guns.
At this time, the gunshots began to ring out in a chaotic manner. It was hard to say how dense the gunshots were, but they were definitely numerous.
"Oh no, it wasn't the Japanese who killed those students, was it?" Shang Zhen said, and ran forward with his submachine gun.
At Shang Zhen's suggestion, they left Jinzhou City and returned along the same route in order to take those male and female students away and prevent them from falling into the tiger's mouth.
Shang Zhen and the other five had been gone for a while.
According to their calculations, they should have met the seven students who were heading towards Jinzhou City. Now that gunshots were heard in front of them, how could Shang Zhen not have the worst associations?
After a quick run, Shang Zhen and his team climbed a small hill on the side of the road.
They came from here when they came here, so they are naturally familiar with the road.
It was a field road that ran through vast cornfields.
Although the corn leaves have turned yellow this season, they are still so dense that they can block people's vision.
At that time, they walked here because they thought that if they encountered Japanese troops, they could hide in the cornfield.
Now Shang Zhen and his team are at a high point, and the exit of the field road is about a hundred meters away from them.
Just as they stretched their necks to look, they saw a few people running towards them on a road that appeared from the cornfield.
The running postures of several of them are obviously those of women. But how can the running postures of women and men be the same?
"Oh, a hero saves a beauty! Don't be afraid, my wife, I'm here to save you!" Hou Kanshan, who had been listless all the way, was happy this time.
Of course Hou Kanshan wouldn't dare say that in front of others, he's just talking nonsense.
Naturally, no one among Shang Zhen and his men paid any attention to Hou Kanshan. Everyone pulled the bolts of their guns, waiting for the Japanese troops behind them to appear.
But in just a moment, two more people ran out from behind those students.
At this moment, Shang Zhen and the others raised their guns and aimed, but Shang Zhen suddenly shouted, "Don't shoot!"
Shang Zhen's reaction was quick. He suddenly realized that the two people behind him should not be Japanese soldiers. If these two people were also Japanese soldiers, how many meters away were they from the students in front?
If the two people behind him had just fired their guns, the student would have been knocked down.
At this time, Shang Zhen and others on the mountain saw that the two people on the road in the field had turned around and fired a shot each to the back!
"Ah! Our own people!" Qian Chuan'er shouted in surprise.
There is no doubt that the students in front are being chased by the Japanese soldiers behind. The two people running behind the students turned around and shot at the back. Aren’t they their own people?
"Could there be other people who escaped back from the battlefield?" Chen Hanwen guessed.
In the battle to hunt down Zhang Xuecheng's troops, they didn't know whether they had killed Zhang Xuecheng or not, nor did they know what the situation was like for other troops. However, only five of their two and a half companies were recovered.
It stands to reason that the battlefield is so chaotic that it is not impossible for other people to escape during the chaos.
"I don't know how many Japanese soldiers are behind us, but no matter what, we have to rescue them!" Qian Chuan'er said again.
At this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly said, "You guys meet here, I'll go west and meet you at the other end of the woods!"
