The War of Resistance

Another chapter of ruthless man Shang Zhen

There were Japanese soldiers chasing to the west with guns in hand. One of the Japanese soldiers stood there and glanced at the surface of the Huaihe River to the south and hesitated. He wanted to take a look there.

However, a Japanese officer on the top of the hill yelled at him. The soldier looked back and saw the officer pointing his finger to the west, and he also hurriedly chased him west.

In this battle, a Chinese soldier stood on the flank position and suddenly fired a "cold arrow" at the Japanese army in the open ground to the east, so it was impossible for the Chinese soldier to run eastward.

When running to the north, there is also an open area. Although it cannot be exaggerated to say that you can see a rabbit running across that open area, you can still see it if someone bends down and runs across it.

What if the Chinese soldier runs further south? To the south is the Huaihe River.

Although I have never heard that the Huaihe River freezes in winter, the cold water will definitely make those who enter the water cramp and stare, and finally sink into the waves.

There is no doubt about this. When the Japanese army stormed the north bank of the Huaihe River, the boat was sunk and leaked. Many of their soldiers fell into the water and drowned!

Therefore, the only escape route for the Chinese soldier was to the west where the terrain was undulating.

So, how could the Japanese officer’s judgment be wrong?

At this time, the Japanese officer who rushed up to the low hill, the so-called flank position, was looking at the corpse of a Northeastern Army soldier with great annoyance.

The soil under the corpse had been hollowed out, exposing a shooting position, so the corpse looked more like the cover of a shooting bunker.

Who would have thought that the Chinese soldier would hide underneath under the cover of his dead comrade?

And this was also the reason why the other party used rifles to knock down more than ten of their soldiers one after another, but they never discovered where the other party was hiding.

No, wouldn't the other party be discovered if he hid under the corpse?

The Japanese officer couldn't help but be confused for a moment, but then he understood.

"Baga!" The Japanese officer became angry again. He slashed the Japanese sword in his hand at the body of the Chinese soldier who was used as a bunker cover!

It turns out that under normal circumstances, if a person lies in a hole with both transparent ends, he cannot make himself blend in with the background. The clear sky will expose his figure.

But here, there are two more corpses stacked behind the hollowed out body. As a result, this "bunker" is not transparent at both ends, so the Japanese troops in the open ground in the distance will naturally not be able to discover this place. Hiding people.

"This Chinese soldier is a ruthless character!" the Japanese officer suddenly realized.

The other party was able to quietly kill two sentries on their side, and then dug a bunker here. It was obvious that they had been ambush here for a long time. They were the best among the soldiers in terms of skill and scheming.

And this time, they shot and killed twenty or thirty of their officers and soldiers. If the other party was allowed to survive, is there any need to think about what the other party would do?

Therefore, he must be killed!

Realizing that the problem was serious, he began to call his messenger. He had to report the situation. He was just a squad leader. Then he called a few more soldiers and chased west.

If the Japanese squad leader had learned something about Shang Zhen, a Chinese soldier whose name he did not know, through a small battle, there was still something he didn't know about Shang Zhen.

Yes, as he thought, Shang Zhen was a ruthless character, but he still didn't understand how ruthless Shang Zhen was. Shang Zhen was not only ruthless to the Japanese army, but also "ruthless" to his fallen companions, and also to himself!

At this time, Shang Zhen was already at the water's edge on the north bank of the Huaihe River. He had already stripped himself naked in the bleak cold wind.

Yes, naked, not even a hair.

A set of Japanese cotton padded clothes thrown into the river flowed away with the water, and became sinking due to the water sucked in. They were slowly sinking into the river.

This suit of clothes was worn by Shang Zhen when he was pretending to be a Japanese soldier.

And now he held a large oilcloth bag in his hand.

The shape of the bag was very strange. The bulging part was the cotton-padded coat he needed to wear. The cotton-padded coat was taken off the body of a Northeast Army soldier, and wrapped in the cotton-padded coat were his box cannon, captured grenades and bullets. Even a stone weighing several kilograms.

But outside the bulging part there was a long and thin piece wrapped in oilcloth, which was a Type 38 rifle.

Shang Zhen has been guarding the flank position but has never been idle.

His plan to kill the enemy is a series, and he will not escape to the west.

Fleeing to the west, he felt that he might not be able to escape the shooting of the Japanese army.

So he decided to escape from the south. He wanted to escape to the east under the nose of the Japanese army!

In the afternoon, he slipped down from the flank position and secretly observed the terrain on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

There was a certain distance that he could crawl through under the cover of the river bank, but there was a certain distance that was unobstructed and exposed to the sight of the Japanese army in Xiaobengbu.

After that period, he could take advantage of the terrain of the river bank again.

According to Shang Zhen's observation, the unobstructed stretch of water was not long, about forty meters.

Shang Zhen knew that he could dive through the water with his water quality.

But now it would be easier if it were summer, but this is winter——

However, after thinking for a moment, Shang Zhen finally chose to dive through the waterway.

Isn’t it just forty meters? I tried my best to swim over, hoping not to get cramps from the cold before landing!

Shang Zhen knew that his idea was crazy, but he had no other choice. He even felt that only by suffering such a crime could he be worthy of his brothers in the Northeast Army who were made into a bunker by him and then tortured by the Japanese army!

I'm sorry, brothers, I didn't let you stop even after you died. If you hate me and want to take my life, then just wait until I finish killing the Japanese devils!

Shang Zhen thought to himself, and then he bent his waist and stepped into the cold water of the Huaihe River.

First there was tingling and then numbness. These were all imaginary things. Shang Zhen didn't care. He took a few hurried steps in the water and then threw himself forward and threw his body under the water.

The reason why he added a stone to the oilcloth bag was because he didn't want the cotton clothes to float in the water and be seen by the Japanese soldiers.

But that big piece of oilcloth was found on the body of a Northeastern Army soldier when he took up a position on the flank. It didn't matter what he used such a large piece of oilcloth for, and it was this piece of oilcloth that gave birth to Shang Zhen. The decision to swim out of the water to the east.

With this piece of oilcloth, he can wrap his weapons. He will continue to fight the Japanese. He will never let his weapons get wet!

Before entering the water, Shang Zhen gritted his teeth. How he wished he could block all his perceptions.

But how is that possible? Shang Zhen could only hold his breath and paddle desperately under the water.

He subconsciously felt that he would not be frozen if he exercised, and his legs would not cramp. As for the other parts of the body that could not move, he could only leave it to fate.

It was a kind of torture that was almost like hell. Who cares if he thought about it for a thousand years or for an eternity.

Finally, when Shang Zhen couldn't hold his breath anymore, he broke out of the water with a "crash", then stumbled and ran to the shore dragging his package.

I succeeded!

Shang Zhen looked at the river bank in front of him that could already cover him. Even though his upper teeth were so cold that his lower teeth made a "gdengdeng" sound, he finally felt a little more joyful in his heart.

But at this time, he heard the shouts of the Japanese army coming from behind him to his left.

not good! Didn't the little devil turn back again without finding him on the other side?

Shang Zhen took three steps and two steps at a time. He ran hard in the water and rushed to the river bank. Then he picked a protruding part of the river bank and hid.

There were really Japanese soldiers coming. The Japanese squad leader finally became suspicious when he saw that the Chinese soldier who attacked them had disappeared, so he sent someone over to take a look.

After a while, two Japanese soldiers inspected the river bank with guns in hand.

But they didn't find anything, and they didn't think that the Chinese soldier would take the initiative to throw himself into the water in such cold weather.

The Japanese army turned around and left. At this time, Shang Zhen, who was leaning behind the protruding river bank, had straightened his right leg and was using both hands to pull the toes of his right foot.

After all, he was still cramped by the cold water.

The cramp came so suddenly and was so painful that he almost screamed just now!
