The War of Resistance

Shang Zhen made himself a simple camouflaged lookout hole on the edge of the Dushan Peak. It was for his own convenience to observe the bottom of the mountain.

He used a bayonet to dig a small hole for his head on the top of the mountain. He could observe the bottom. There were some shrubs on top and some gravel and soil were sprinkled on it.

Then he could kneel behind and insert his face into the dug hole. In this way, when looking from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, his head could not be seen at all, and only half of his face was exposed.

To say that this simplest protection is good, the only drawback is that Shang Zhen cannot dig out a place to hide behind because it is a huge boulder.

So if he wanted to look down and not be discovered by the Japanese soldiers observing the top of the mountain, he had to lie there with his butt stuck out.

Fortunately, Dushangu is the highest in this area, and he is not worried that the Japanese army will see it.

If you ask why Shang Zhen didn't dig such a lookout hole in other places, it's because the places where people can get in are all stones except here.

After all, all battles depend on terrain and geology. If there is no soil here and it is all rocks, Shang Zhen will have to endure it.

Shang Zhen couldn't figure out whether the Japanese army or the security brigade won today's battle.

If we look at the number of people killed on the Chinese side than the Japanese, the number of people killed on the Chinese side is definitely higher than that on the Japanese side, but based on the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, whether it is 2:1 or 3:1, it is actually quite good.

But if we talk about the outcome of the battle, it must be the Japanese troops who stayed around Dushangu in the end. The security brigade was beaten away!

The battle was over when we got here, but Shang Zhen's heart was not so big that he was sleeping soundly while the mountains were full of enemies.

He even memorized idioms and came up with a phrase for his current situation called "surrounded by wolves."

Therefore, he would not be able to stay safe until the Japanese army left.

Since the Japanese army would not leave, he had to observe the movements of the Japanese army. This was the reason why he made the lookout hole.

Since the three sides of Dushan Gu are relatively steep, it is impossible for people to climb on them. However, although the lower part of the mountain where he is now is relatively steep, it is still possible for people to climb on.

The only thing that is difficult to climb is the top of the mountain. The mountain wall forms a negative angle with the horizontal top of the mountain. In other words, the top of the mountain is like a hat on the mountain, although it is not that exaggerated.

Shang Zhen also placed the observation hole on the top of the "hat".

Although the height there is only a few meters, it is really impossible for humans without the ability to climb with bare hands.

Of course, you can also climb up with a hook and a rope. Wasn't this how Shang Zhen plotted against the Japanese soldiers who were trying to climb up the mountain?

From the time Shang Zhen and the others met Shi Naiwen's security brigade to when they led the Japanese troops over, to when the security brigade fought with the Japanese troops again, the whole day had almost passed, and it was already dusk.

Under a bleak setting sun, Shang Zhen stood behind the observation hole and looked down.

The Japanese army had almost cleaned up the battlefield. Their wounded, including corpses, had been taken away by Japanese horse-drawn carriages, and the rest were mainly the corpses of some security brigade soldiers.

Looking at the corpses of many security brigade soldiers, Shang Zhen's mood became complicated again. He didn't know whether what he did before was right or wrong?

So he simply stopped thinking about it and only thought about things that made him happy, such as when he would go find Leng Xiaozhi again, or if Leng Xiaozhi took the initiative to come to him after hearing the letter.

But he didn't know that during the time he was away, Leng Xiaozhi had already lent his two companies.

Originally, after being separated from Leng Xiaozhi for a period of time, Shang Zhen basically didn't want Leng Xiaozhi anymore, because a normal man would feel uncomfortable thinking about his wife.

Therefore, Shang Zhen's subconscious completely pretended that Leng Xiaozhi did not exist at all, so that life would pass faster.

But now it doesn't work anymore. Now that he can see the hope of reunion, it makes him feel itchy.

Shang Zhen was a little lost in his thoughts until he suddenly noticed that many Japanese soldiers appeared at the foot of the mountain, and some Japanese soldiers were pointing at Dushan Gu where he was hiding.

What's happening here? Aren’t the little devils going up the mountain? Shang Zhen suddenly became vigilant.

Since the security brigade withdrew from Dushan'ao Village, there has been basically nothing going on here in Dushan'ao, that is, the Japanese army is cleaning the battlefield.

There was no gunfire at this end, so there was no cover. Naturally, Shang Zhen couldn't fish in troubled waters and shoot at the Japanese army.

With free time, he had naturally thought about his situation. The most likely possibility was that the Japanese army had not discovered him at all. The second possibility was that the Japanese army suspected that there were sharpshooters from the Chinese army in this area and then conducted a search.

If it was the former, Shang Zhen only had to wait until dark and then go down the mountain.

It is said that going up the mountain is easier than going down, but of course Shang Zhen had already thought about how to go down the mountain. He had thought about it before climbing up the mountain. He just took off his two leggings, tied them into a rope, and then followed the rope. It's just going down. What's difficult to climb down is just the top of the mountain.

But if it is the latter, and the Japanese army suspects that he is on this lonely mountain, then he has no other choice but to fight against the trapped beast.

Whether it is guerrilla warfare or using a weak enemy to defeat a strong enemy, the weak side can only dodge and move around.

But now that he has placed himself on this lonely mountain, with no way to the sky and no door to the earth, what else can he do except fight the Japanese army to the end and sacrifice for the country in the end?

He wouldn't be afraid if the Japanese army attacked the mountain. This terrain was absolutely one-man-stop, and no one could break through.

He now carries more than 200 rounds of artillery bullets in a box, and more than 40 rounds of rifle bullets.

As long as he is not killed by the Japanese army, Shang Zhen believes that based on this terrain, he should be able to kill dozens of Japanese soldiers, not to mention himself.

And he also had two grenades on him. He had to figure out how to maximize the effect of these two grenades when the little devils gathered together.

Shang Zhen thought about it and looked into the distance again, and saw Japanese troops cruising in the mountains. Are they searching for him?

It was normal for the Japanese army to have doubts. Shang Zhen also thought that when the fighting was at its busiest, he used the cover of gunfire to fire both heavy machine guns and infantry artillery. The nearby Japanese soldiers must not be able to see him. But it doesn't mean that people won't make assumptions about their location.

When Shang Zhen looked back, he saw that the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain were really taking action. A few of the dozens of Japanese soldiers actually ran up the mountain.

Shang Zhen also took a special look and saw that some Japanese soldiers were carrying ropes.

It doesn’t matter whether a rope has a hook or not. What else can people do with a rope?

"Fuck, it's really coming!" Shang Zhen cursed in a low voice, and saw a Japanese officer at the bottom of the mountain starting to look at him with a telescope!
