Although the death of the old man and the old woman aroused the bloodiness of the Northeast Army soldiers, when the whistling sound of the Japanese grenade launchers sounded again, the blocking battle came to an end.
After all, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the war will not be over in a day. Who would take the initiative to die with the enemy if they can survive?
"Run over there!" When Shang Zhen and the others finally ran out of the rocks and into the woods on the top of the mountain, he reminded Wang Laomao.
"Why?" asked Wang Laomao.
"There is a cliff here and we can't go down!" Shang Zhen replied.
Of course, Wang Laomao knew that Shang Zhen had been practicing martial arts in the mountains for a few days. He thought that his familiarity with the terrain must be better than those of him.
So Wang Laomao waved his hand and they all ran quickly in the direction Shang Zhen pointed.
When Wang Laomao turned around, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Platoon leader, wait for us two!"
When everyone was looking, they saw Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen running over from the gap between the trees behind them.
"You dead monkey, I don't want you anymore. Go surrender to the Japanese. I promise not to kill you!" Wang Laomao started cursing when he saw Hou Kanshan.
During the process of Wang Laomao and his friends saving those students, Wang Laomao later heard from Qian Chuaner that it was Hou Kanshan who took Chen Hanwen and ran away first.
When Qian Chuan'er brought up this matter, Wang Laomao did not express his opinion.
Of course, Wang Laomao knew that Hou Kanshan was not the kind of person who would not risk his life in a fight.
At that time, it was understandable that Hou Kanshan was a little cautious.
But the problem is that this time Wang Laomao was there, but he didn't expect that the bastard Hou Kanshan would slip away first.
How could he want subordinates like this? What good would flattery do?
"Oh, platoon leader, I was the one who fired the first shot just now!" Hou Kanshan, who caught up breathlessly, confessed.
What is a smart person? Hou Kanshan is undoubtedly one of them.
Why is Wang Lao Mao angry? Hou is just looking at the mountain without asking any questions, his mind is as clear as a mirror!
"Huh? Really?" Wang Laomao was a little unconvinced.
"It's not true, but I can never lie to you!" Hou Kanshan said again, "Didn't you see that the old man was blocking the old lady behind him? If I didn't shoot at that time, would I still be a human being?
I originally wanted to shoot to protect you, but when I saw how harmful those bastards were, I switched from protecting you to avenging that old man! "
"Hmm?" When Wang Laomao heard Hou Kanshan say this, he already believed it 80%.
Everyone saw the old man protecting the old lady at that time. Whoever took the initiative to fire the first shot undoubtedly represented courage. If what Hou Hanshan said was true, then his performance was really good, or it could be said that it was quite good!
After all, neither Wang Laomao nor Shang Zhen, nor other Northeastern troops who were often in the dark, fired the first shot.
"Let's go!" Wang Laomao no longer worried about Hou Kanshan's problem. It was obvious that he chose to believe Hu Kaishan.
However, Wang Laomao and the others did not notice that Chen Hanwen, who had been following Hou Kanshan, had not expressed his opinion.
Was it really Hou Kanshan who fired the first shot that killed the puppet soldier?
No one knew that at this moment, at the place where the first shot was fired, a Northeast Army soldier was lying there motionless with blood flowing from his back, and he had already died.
Wang Laomao and his men continued to advance in the woods.
It is autumn now, and fortunately most of the trees in this forest are made of glass.
Although the leaves of the glass tree have turned yellow, only a limited number of them will fall off. The old leaves will only fall off when new leaves grow in the spring of next year.
As the commander of this team, Wang Laomao certainly hopes to use the cover of these trees to lead everyone away from the pursuit of the Japanese army.
But just as they took a few steps forward in the glass-covered woods, they heard a sudden burst of chaotic gunfire from the front.
When the gunshots were heard, everyone subconsciously stopped.
The bravery he just had was gone, and as a fugitive, Wang Laomao certainly didn't want to go to the battlefield.
Now the group of people led by Wang Laomao only has one more person, Lao Huotou, and the rest are still his own people.
Regarding the life and death of Liu Guodong and his company's soldiers, Wang Laomao felt that he was in a difficult situation and could not save himself. He did not have the idea of sharing the same hatred for the enemy.
"Are you sure there is a cliff over there?" Wang Laomao turned and asked Shang Zhen.
"The slope over there is quite steep." Shang Zhen replied.
Deep down, Shang Zhen certainly hoped to save other Northeast Army soldiers, but he also understood that it was not his turn to make the decision on such matters.
So he said that the slope on the other side was very steep, but he never thought that his answer was wrong after all.
"Is it a steep slope or a cliff? Tell me clearly, can we go down?" Wang Laomao asked.
"It should be considered a steep slope. I don't know if I can get down by holding on to the tree man above." Shang Zhen answered uncertainly.
He went up the mountain just when he first moved to Hejiatun and wanted to exercise. At that time, in order to build up his physical strength, he ran towards that end. He just took a look at it at that time and had no idea whether he could go down.
"What else can you do?" Before Wang Laomao could say anything, Hou Kanshan stuck on him like a dog-skin plaster.
"Go down that end." Wang Laomao waved his hand, turned around and walked in the direction he had originally gone.
Wang Laomao had his own judgment. The gunshots from the front meant that the Japanese army was encircling from another place.
Since the Japanese army could outflank them, if they rushed forward following the sound of gunfire, wouldn't they also run into the Japanese army? So it was better to avoid the Japanese army.
Shang Zhen knew that he could not object to Wang Laomao's decision, so he could only look at Lao Huo helplessly.
Old Huo is old after all. He is already fifty years old this year and cannot compare with young people in terms of physical strength.
At this time, Old Huo, who was holding a mountain cannon, whispered to Shang Zhen, "That's right. If you want to fight well, you must remember all the terrain you can see."
What people in Northeast China call mountain cannons are what people in the South call earth guns.
Whether it is the Liao-13 or the Japanese Type 38 rifle, they are all bolt-action rifles, and what is the mountain cannon? It is a sand gun that is used to make iron sand.
That is to add gunpowder into the gun barrel as a primer, and then load iron sand, iron nails, etc. into it. When firing, light the fuse and the gun will make a "bang" sound.
The firing range of this type of mountain artillery is very limited, only about forty or fifty meters, and its lethality is also very limited, and it rarely kills people directly.
But the problem is that the gun sand can cause harm to people, and it is difficult to treat the wound, or it is impossible to treat it at all.
This is actually what Old Huotou usually uses when he goes hunting in the mountains. No one can understand why he has to use this hunting rifle instead of a ready-made quick-firing gun, that is, a rifle.
In the private discussions of Hou Kanshan and others, they thought that perhaps Old Huo was getting confused due to his old age.
Shang Zhen nodded, and the seven of them went to the cliff they had mentioned earlier.
As for the fact that the Japanese army was surrounding the people in Lao Huotou's company, it is unknown whether Lao Huotou, as a veteran, wanted to rescue them. He did not make any expression at all.
The cliff that Shang Zhen mentioned has arrived.
It can be said that Shang Zhen is both right and wrong.
He was right because it was indeed very steep here, and he was wrong because they could still climb down through the tree on the cliff.
Shang Zhen once again proved with his own judgment that he was still a rookie, or in other words, he was still far from being a veteran!
But who goes down first?
Although there was also a dense forest below, no one could tell whether there were Japanese troops watching this place from below.
The first person to climb down will definitely be in danger.
Now, among this group of people, if they have no other ideas, they can only be idiots with slow brains.
But everyone knows that Erhanzi and Qian Chuaner are definitely the same person, and they are definitely close friends who can wear the same pants.
How could Qian Chuan'er let the honest Erhanzi be in danger?
After a moment's silence, before Wang Laomao could speak, Hou Kanshan started his performance again.
Hou Kanshan looked at Old Huo with a grin and said, "Since we are running for our lives? Then please go first, elder."
