"You must obey orders. Who told you to stay at the back?" Li Fushun said to Shang Zhen while running.
Shang Zhen just said "Oh".
Li Fushun said that Shang Zhen was good for a reason. Their battalion came out to harass the puppet army just to move the puppet army within the range of the armored train.
So when the puppet army's mortars sounded, they naturally retreated.
But the order to run away had been given, and everyone else had run away, but Shang Zhen was still staying behind and shooting!
It was when Li Fushun looked back and called out to Shang Zhen that Shang Zhen ran back. As soon as Shang Zhen ran away, the mortar exploded on the hill.
You said that in this situation, how could Li Fushun, as an older brother, not be worried?
Shang Zhen was also scared when he thought about it at this moment, but even though he was scared, he did feel a little happy in his heart.
He had originally planned to retreat, but at this time he discovered that there were still puppet troops in the grass at the foot of the mountain.
At this time he also realized that it was a sentry of the puppet army.
These people were responsible for luring the puppet troops out.
As a new recruit, Shang Zhen cherished the opportunity to shoot live ammunition very much. At that time, he forgot that the swelling on his right shoulder had not subsided yet, and he fired a burst of bullets at the puppet army in the distance.
During the shooting process, he was of course trying to understand how to make his movements smaller when pulling the trigger, so as to make his shooting more stable.
But it is not that easy to practice shooting. He knew that all the shots he fired might not hit an enemy, and even if he did, it would be a blind guess.
There is no need to cherish bullets, at least for now. At least the Northeast Army has enough bullets.
When Shang Zhen saw that there were puppet soldiers in the bushes below, his hands naturally itched. If I can't hit the enemy two hundred meters away, can't I hit the one within fifty meters?
So he shot at the puppet army sentry named Ergou.
Anyone who can hit a target within fifty meters with a pistol is a sharpshooter.
But rifles are different. Rifle shooting is very stable after all. Shang Zhen's shot really hit Ergou's thigh.
Shang Zhen naturally saw Ergou being shot, so even though it was a bit risky, he still felt a little proud in his heart.
So now Shang Zhen didn't make any excuses and just followed the group and ran forward.
After running for a distance, the company commander Hu Biao called out and everyone hid in a forest again.
Shang Zhen, the new recruit, could understand Hu Biao's behavior.
They are actually luring the enemy forward. Where are they running to? They are running into the range of the armored train.
The armored train was hidden by the woods, so the puppet army would not notice it.
When the puppet army attacks, they can use the cannons and heavy machine guns on the armored train to bombard the incoming puppet army, and they will definitely gain a great advantage.
But now the puppet troops behind them are not chasing closely, so they need to let the puppet troops catch up.
According to the prisoners' confession, Zhang Xuecheng's puppet army had as many as four to five thousand people!
For this, these Northeast Army soldiers hated those traitorous troops so much that their teeth were itching. The real boss didn't see it, but the dog slaves came up first!
"Where are those two companies?" Ma Erhuzi, who was lying together with Shang Zhen, asked Li Fushun.
There were three companies in one battalion, and the only one that had fired at the puppet army on that hill was Hu Biao's company.
I guess what the above means is that they are afraid that if too many of them were to lure the enemy, the puppet army would be frightened and they would not dare to pursue them in large numbers.
"It should be on both sides of us." Li Fushun guessed.
"Can they hide on both sides?" Ma Erhuzi expressed his doubt.
When they ran back, they saw that their area was a forest, and there were open areas on both sides of the forest. It was estimated that the two companies were hiding in the wormwood bushes in the open area.
Although the team they led to lure the enemy this time consisted of a battalion, it was undoubtedly small compared to the several thousand people.
Without favorable terrain, they might be shot if someone chased them.
"Mind your own business. Can you decide this matter?" At this time, the platoon leader Wu Laomao, who was not far from them, heard what Ma Erhuzi said and scolded him.
After being scolded, Ma Erhuzi naturally kept silent.
But at this moment, Shang Zhen heard a faint roar coming from the distance.
The sound was trembling and definitely not something a human could make.
At this time, the platoon leader Wang Laomao's face changed and he said, "It's broken, the tank!"
After Wang Laomao said this, the faces of the old soldiers changed.
Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment before he remembered what a tank was.
He had seen tanks from afar before. After all, his home was close to Dongdaying, and the Northeast Army also had tanks.
That thing is just an iron shell with a cannon and a heavy machine gun mounted on it, wheels underneath, and tracks under the wheels.
That thing can withstand a beating. Even if Shang Zhen lacks common sense, he knows that bullets can definitely not penetrate that thing!
Oh no, the puppet army actually has tanks!
This has never happened before.
Shang Zhen immediately thought that if the puppet army's tanks rushed up, it would not only sweep away their infantry.
Less than two miles behind them was the railway track where the armored train was hidden.
Of course, the armored train is not afraid of tanks. Both sides are made of iron, so it is not a question of who is afraid of whom.
But the problem is that if the puppet army's tanks discovered the armored train, how could the puppet army's infantry rush up?
If that happens, the ambush plan will fail.
If Shang Zhen could figure it out at this time, those veterans would be able to figure it out even more clearly.
Company commander Hu Biao immediately started shouting, "No one is allowed to retreat! If anyone retreats, I'll kill him! Find a way to kill these bastards!"
When Shang Zhen heard Hu Biao's shout, he was stunned and thought to himself, can that thing be killed?
He had only participated in a few battles, and his gun was still not accurate. His shoulder was still swollen from the vibration of the gun tip, and he had never seen anyone attack a tank.
He thought that when the puppet army's tanks rushed forward, their bullets would make a "bang bang" sound like bullets hitting the head.
Then the enemy's tanks rushed up like iron turtles, running around recklessly. If the enemy's cannons and machine guns on them continued to fire, not to mention their company, even their entire battalion would not be enough to withstand their attack!
But it was impossible for them to retreat.
Why didn't the Northeast Army drive the armored train out of Jinzhou City in a grand manner last night, but instead used horses and people to push it out? It was because they were afraid that the rumbling noise of the armored train would be too loud and would be discovered by the puppet army.
If they don't destroy the puppet army tanks in front of them this time, the tanks will rush through the woods and see the armored train they are hiding, then all their work last night will be in vain!
Shang Zhen was thinking about this when the roar from the opposite side was getting closer and closer.
At this time, the sound of running could be heard from the bushes, followed by the voice of the communicator: "Captain Hu! The battalion commander has ordered us not to retreat. You must attract the tanks and then blow them up!"
Could the tanks really be blown up? I don't know how many of them were coming, but the atmosphere in the woods suddenly became tense!
After a few minutes, the roar became louder, and the tanks coming from the opposite direction appeared in the sight of Shang Zhen and his men.
From Shang Zhen's point of view, there were two tanks in total, and behind the tanks was a dark crowd of people. The puppet army actually launched a charge under the cover of the tanks!
"Fortunately, it's not a tank but an armored vehicle! But it's Japanese, not ours!" Hu Biao, who was holding a telescope, said at this time.
"What is an armored vehicle?" Shang Zhen asked Ma Erhuzi beside him in a low voice.
"The ones with only heavy machine guns are called armored vehicles, and the ones with cannons on them are called tanks," Ma Erhuzi explained.
"What's not ours?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"Our Northeast Army also has tanks. What the company commander means is that some of our tanks may have been seized by the Japanese." Ma Erhuzi explained again.
