A dozen Japanese soldiers in the mountains and forests stopped chasing the civilians and turned around, pointing their rifles at Qianyaodi Village.
Different guns make different sounds when fired.
The Japanese Army's Type 38 rifle has a long, stable trajectory and a thin bullet, so when shooting, it makes a sound similar to "eight hooks". The "hook" is the tail sound caused by the bullet penetrating the air.
Previously, when Shang Zhen and his men attacked the Japanese army in Qianyaodi Village, they used rifles, machine guns and box guns.
Rifles are fine, but the sound of a machine gun and a box gun is obviously different from that of a rifle.
As veterans, they can hear the difference in the sounds of gunfire. The Japanese army would never use these two types of guns. So how could the Japanese soldiers who were hunting civilians in the mountains not be alert?
At this time, the Japanese army saw several of their companions running out from the former Yaodi village. They ran so panic-stricken that they did not run into the mountains from the shortest distance.
The Japanese were puzzled. Could it be that the Chinese army had come to reinforce them? They raised their rifles and saw a gray figure flash past in the direction of the firewood pile, and bullets flew towards them.
Gunshots were heard and the Japanese troops in the mountains immediately began shooting at the opposite side.
But at this moment, the sound of "ta ta ta" machine gun firing came from the opposite side.
The machine guns fired at different speeds, and some bullets even hit the Japanese soldiers. The bullets penetrated into the snow, making "chirp" and "chirp" sounds, and then white steam rose. It was the hot bullets that melted the snow.
At this point, the Japanese army had no doubts anymore, and those who had already reached the edge of the woods began shooting at the opposite side.
Qianyaodi Village is not far from the large forest, about seventy or eighty meters away at the closest point, and about a hundred meters away at the farthest point.
The Japanese soldiers were so focused on shooting at the opposite side that they completely ignored their companions who had already rushed into the snow.
The snow on the ground is not thick, considering that this is Liaoning Province and it is close to Rehe.
At a distance of about 100 meters, the thin layer of snow naturally cannot stop people from running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
It only took a moment for the six or seven men in yellow Japanese coats to rush into the woods. The moment they rushed into the woods, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because they were Shang Zhen and his men in disguise.
For fear of a head-on collision with the Japanese army, Shang Zhen and his men certainly did not dare to rush forward following the footprints that had previously led them into the forest.
Those footprints included those of civilians fleeing into the mountains and forests, as well as those of Japanese soldiers.
Qian Chuan'er and Xiao Boji, who were running in the front, were wearing relatively neat Japanese military uniforms. And because they were short, the Japanese yellow woolen coats were able to cover their calves.
But it was different for Shang Zhen, Qin Chuan, Hou Kanshan, Ma Tianfang and others who followed behind.
They were tall and did not have time to change into the Japanese military uniforms, so they just put on the Japanese yellow woolen coats and cotton hats.
They didn't have time to change into the Japanese army's pants, let alone wear the Japanese army's suede-toed shoes. If they got a little closer to those Japanese soldiers, they would definitely see the flaws!
Seeing that they had finally rushed into the woods safely this time, Shang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand. The seven or eight of them dispersed, each holding their weapons and walking towards the place where the Japanese gunfire was heard.
Qian Chuanchuan'er and Xiao Boji, who were at the front, were still holding the Japanese Type 38 rifles, while Shang Zhen and Ma Erhuzi were holding submachine guns in one hand and each holding a Japanese egg-shaped grenade with the pin removed in their right hands.
They had only walked a few dozen steps in the woods when they saw the Japanese army shooting at Qianyaodi Village.
Shang Zhen originally wanted Qian Chuan'er and Xiao Boji to go a little further before they took action, but at this time he heard the voices of Japanese soldiers coming from the forest. It turned out that the Japanese soldiers who were chasing the civilians had also returned.
Shang Zhen didn't shout, but he knocked the grenade in his hand against the tree trunk and threw it out.
Is it still necessary for Shang Zhen to shout "Attack" at this time? As soon as Shang Zhen started to move, Ma Erhuzi's grenade also flew out.
Qian Chuan and Xiao Boji in front saw the grenade flying from behind them, and they instinctively put their rifles to their shoulders, and two "bang" and "bang" sounds of gunfire rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of gunfire from rifles, box guns, and machine guns became continuous. Then, the two grenades thrown by Zhang Zhen and Ma Erhuzi exploded, creating a cloud of snow among the unsuspecting Japanese soldiers!
Shang Zhen turned around and pointed the submachine gun in his hand in another direction of the woods. At this time, Japanese soldiers holding rifles appeared between the trees.
"He he", "He he he", Shang Zhen's machine gun immediately rang, and the shell was thrown out from the side of the machine gun, and smoke rose in the originally gloomy woods.
The Japanese troops in the woods were completely disrupted. They never expected that their companions running over from the opposite side suddenly turned out to be the Northeast Army.
The remaining Japanese soldiers at the edge of the woods hurriedly turned their guns around, and at this time a dozen people from Qianyaodi Village rushed over here. They were Wang Laomao and his men.
Just as Shang Zhen and his men had originally concluded, what they needed to fight the Japanese army were surprise attacks, sneak attacks, and cold shots, but now they needed to add one more thing, that is, they had to fight for their lives when it was time to fight for their lives!
After a while, the submachine gun in Shang Zhen's hand finally went silent. He hid behind a tree and began to change the magazine. At this time, the gun in Ma Erhuzi's hand also fired. The Japanese troops in the mountains must be suppressed.
But at the same time, Qian Chuaner, Xiao Boji, Hou Kanshan and others had already launched an attack on the Japanese troops at the edge of the woods.
At this time, Qian Chuan and Xiao Boji had already thrown away the Type 38 rifles in their hands, and they were each holding a box gun in their hands.
They had just launched a sudden attack on these Japanese soldiers. Although most of them were killed by their guns, some were injured by grenades, so they had to shoot them again.
Hou Kanshan, who was also using a box gun, also had his gun making "bang" and "bang" sounds continuously.
The battle was so fierce and time was so urgent that no one had the time to ask Hou Kanshan why he suddenly became so brave.
Perhaps only Hou Kanshan himself knows the reason.
Originally he was just a scoundrel in the army, but now he needs to protect his wife and children, so he must rush forward!
His wife and children are counting on him, but can he still expect others to protect his closest people at this time?
The Japanese troops in the mountains finally retreated. Originally, there were only more than 20 of them, but now most of them were wiped out by Shang Zhen and his men.
When Wang Laomao and the rest of the people rushed into the forest, the battle was over, and Hou Kanshan ran into the forest without looking back. He needed to find his wife and the child who was not even a hundred days old.
Until now, Shang Zhen and the others have not had the chance to ask why Hou Kanshan appeared here.
Hou Kanshan didn't have the time to explain to Shang Zhen and the others. In this battle, everyone seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness between each other.
