The crisis of survival can bring out a person's enormous potential.
The moment Shang Zhen squatted down, he reached out and pulled something out from his waist and stabbed forward.
That was the bayonet he had captured.
Almost at the same time, there was a sound of wind passing over his head, and it was the butt of a Japanese Type 38 rifle that hit him!
Everything happened so fast that Shang Zhen felt the bayonet in his hand encounter resistance as soon as he stabbed. That should be the feeling when a bayonet hits the human skeleton.
Shang Zhen was nicknamed "Ma Gan'er" by his classmates. So how strong could he be?
Just as he felt his bayonet encounter resistance, someone screamed.
At this time, how could Shang Zhen care whether the other party was a Japanese soldier or one of his own?
He couldn't tell what was happening just by hearing the scream of "Ah".
He only knew that if he didn't kill the other person, the other person would kill him!
He drew back the bayonet and thrust forward hard following the cry!
This time he heard a "pop" sound, which was the sound of the bayonet entering the flesh.
After successfully striking with the knife, Shang Zhen immediately dodged to the side and squatted down again just against the corner of the wall.
It can be seen that he had just squatted down when he heard another "bang" sound above his head. It was still the sound of the butt of the gun hitting the wall.
Shang Zhen realized instantly that it was inappropriate to squat here.
I rushed in from outside. If the Japanese wanted to kill me, they would of course attack the place where I made the sound!
Realizing this, Shang Zhen squatted down and moved forward step by step carefully.
The officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army were still retreating, and the man who was stabbed by Shang Zhen with a bayonet was still groaning.
The chaotic sound finally covered up Shang Zhen's heavy breathing.
Shang Zhen felt sweat running down his temples, partly because he was nervous, and partly because he was not in good physical condition.
But Shang Zhen remained vigilant, because he knew there must be other Japanese troops in the darkness.
Now he could be sure that the people he stabbed with his bayonet were Japanese soldiers.
Because the person he stabbed was groaning just within his reach, he could now be sure that the sound was absolutely different from that made by a Chinese person.
Shang Zhen sighed in his heart, "I am so weak," but then he felt something was wrong.
Because he could still hear footsteps going away around him. They were all officers and soldiers from their battalion. They should have heard the screams of the Japanese soldier just now, but no one came to check!
Shang Zhen suddenly realized that it was dark now. Even if they were his own people, what could they do? They couldn't tell friend from foe, so who could help him?
If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself, but you can't even make a sound!
The footsteps of his companions were fading away, but at the same time Shang Zhen heard rustling sounds coming from around him.
There is no doubt that the sounds were not made by rats, but by the Japanese army.
There cannot be only one or two Japanese soldiers here, but there definitely cannot be too many.
If there was only one Japanese soldier, Shang Zhen could not explain the sound of the gun butt hitting the wall and the rustling sounds in front and behind him.
But if there were a lot of Japanese troops, it would be impossible for them to let so many people leave easily.
Shang Zhen still can't shoot a gun, but he knows that there is a kind of gun in the army called a machine gun.
The veterans said that the gun was extremely powerful. When it was fired, the bullets were fired in strings, making a "bang bang bang" sound. One volley of bullets could knock down more than ten people!
If the Japanese army had this kind of machine gun, once they fired it, their battalion would definitely not have lost only that one vanguard soldier.
Shang Zhen already felt a little regretful. He really shouldn't have gone into this alley again, which made him surrounded by enemies, unable to advance or retreat.
The rustling sounds in front and behind him became louder. As the sounds grew louder, Shang Zhen felt his heartbeat quicken.
He felt that the hand holding the bayonet had become stiff.
But he himself didn't know that his hands were actually shaking slightly because of nervousness and fear.
At this moment, the footsteps of his companions had disappeared, but the rustling sound became louder, and then there was a rustling sound, which was made by the hard soles of shoes stepping on the ground.
At this moment, Shang Zhen was terrified.
But his hearing was so clear that he could even tell that the rustling footsteps in front of him would step on his head if they took a few more steps forward. He wanted to move, but he couldn't!
I can’t wait to die here! A voice shouted deep in Shang Zhen’s heart.
But then, another voice shouted, "I'm scared!"
The two voices intertwined and confronted each other, just like two villains tearing at each other deep in Shang Zhen's heart. One wanted to pull him into the abyss, and the other still wanted to pull him into the abyss. The only difference was how they would die!
The conflict was so intense that just as the rustling footsteps in front stopped and someone in the darkness stepped towards him, Shang Zhen suddenly jumped up, clasped his hands together, grasped the bayonet handle with both hands, and stabbed out again!
With a "puff" sound, Shang Zhen exactly felt the touch of his bayonet moving forward in the enemy's flesh, and then his hand hit the curved hook in front of the handle that was similar to a guard.
This time, he actually pierced the Japanese soldier in front of him!
Shang was stunned for a moment. Did I kill someone? This thought flashed through his mind, but then he drew his knife and rushed forward.
The Japanese soldier he stabbed had already fallen down, and Shang Zhen felt his foot on the other's head.
He staggered and nearly fell, but instinctively started running again. At the same time, he changed to holding the knife with one hand and stabbed forward randomly!
Under extreme depression, one either dies in depression or explodes in depression. At this moment, Shang Zhen finally exploded.
At this time he could no longer care about so many things, and he ran with his skinny body with the momentum of "Even if there are thousands of troops in front of me, I will still go forward!"
Shang Zhen heard the Japanese soldiers shouting in front and behind him. They were saying "here".
But Shang Zhen still didn't care. When he stabbed another Japanese soldier standing in front of him with the bayonet in his hand, he finally rushed out of the alley and disappeared into the darkness.
After a while, when the Japanese troops behind him were in chaos, Shang Zhen had already leaned against a low wall.
He was breathing heavily. With his current thin body, running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and crashing out of the enemy group had already reached the limit of his physical strength.
But Shang Zhen knew that his danger was not completely over and he would eventually need to find the main force.
After his breathing became more stable, Shang Zhen stood up with the help of the wall and slowly walked towards the east, dragging his sore legs.
Shang Zhen didn't know, and even the entire Northeast Army in Fengtian Beidaying didn't know, that on the night of September 18th, in this time point known as the September 18th Incident, the Northeast Army suffered more than 300 casualties, and the Japanese army suffered 24 casualties.
Among the 24 Japanese casualties, only two were dead, and the rest were injured.
The September 18th Incident represented the beginning of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Later generations called the battle when the Northeast Army rushed out of Beidaying in Shenyang the Beidaying Breakout.
But is this really a breakout battle?
Shang Zhen, a soldier who had only been in the army for three days, killed two Japanese soldiers in order to survive, and ultimately saved a little face for the Northeast Army.
