Shang Zhen ran forward for dozens of steps and felt something was wrong. He didn't even hear any footsteps behind him!
Hearing no footsteps, he naturally turned around to look, but when he looked back he was shocked to find that the two soldiers who had fought side by side with him, whose names he didn't know, were gone!
Oh no! What happened? Were they injured by the Japanese?
From Shang Zhen's perspective just now, he could only see the Japanese soldiers chasing after him but not his two companions.
At this moment, Shang Zhen instinctively stopped and turned around to run back.
If you ask why, there is no reason! This is Shang Zhen’s first choice.
Why didn’t those two companions, who were strangers but had fought side by side with me, come back?
When Shang Zhen ran to the foot of the hill again, he saw that his two companions ran out from the same side of the hill at the same time.
Only then did Shang Zhen know what the two men had been doing.
The two men each held two rifles, a box of Japanese bullets, and a black, fist-sized object, which must have been a Japanese grenade.
Those two people actually went to clean up the battlefield!
Oh my god, how ruthless they are! Even though Shang Zhen has always been good-tempered, he was also made to laugh and cry by these two people.
"Run, run! The bastards are chasing us again!" said the thinner of the two soldiers.
Shang Zhen was speechless and could only turn around and run again.
The three men were running panting and their feet were flying. Just when they were about forty or fifty meters away from the woods in front of them, they suddenly heard a gunshot.
The gunshot was so loud and so close that the three men instinctively lunged forward and fell directly into the grass at their feet.
They were running at full speed, but with a sudden stop, the two soldiers threw all the weapons in their hands, such as rifles, bullets, and grenades!
Shang Zhen was fine, after all, he only had a machine gun in his hand.
At this time, Shang Zhen didn't care that the weeds on the ground were making his chin hurt. He turned around and picked up the flower machine in his hand.
Just as he saw the figure of a Japanese soldier flashing beside the mountain soldier they had blocked, another gunshot rang out.
It was only when the gunshot was heard that Shang Zhen discovered that the gunshot was fired from behind him on the right. Even the first shot was not fired by the Japanese soldiers behind him, but from the woods in the direction of escape!
"These two are just playing around!" Even if Shang Zhen had a good temper, he couldn't help but curse in his heart at this moment.
The gunfire in the woods wasn't aimed at them, so who else could it be? It could only be Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen, who had run into the woods earlier.
When the Japanese army was chasing them, Shang Zhen and the two soldiers, who had learned to use their brains, chose to block them, while Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen ran away first.
The situation was urgent at the time and Shang Zhen had no time to care about Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen.
It now seems that the two men did not escape directly into the mountains, but instead waited for them in the woods with guns.
But that's all? Well, as a new recruit, Shang Zhen didn't have any other ideas for the time being.
"You idiot, what are you busy with? Come into the woods!" said the thinner soldier.
"I dropped a grenade!" said the somewhat silly soldier.
Stupid, Shang Zhen thought to himself, what time is it now? Just throw a grenade.
But then Shang Zhen realized that he was actually stupid. He was now more than 200 meters away from the Japanese troops in front.
What's the point of using a machine gun at this distance? You can't hit it at all!
And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I haven’t replaced the drum magazine of my machine gun yet!
"Huh," Shang Zhen sighed in frustration.
Only then did he realize that he was a new recruit after all, and he should have replaced the drum with a new one when he ran from the hill to this side just now.
"Don't look for it anymore, saving your life is more important!" said the other thinner soldier.
The soldier called Erhanzi said "Oh" again in a silly way.
At this time, Shang Zhen quickly put away his gun and turned around while lying down.
They are now in the weeds. Just now, Hou Kanshan and his men heard gunshots, and the Japanese army's attention must have been attracted there.
If the Japanese army had not discovered that they were in this grass, it would have been safer for them to crawl into the woods under the cover of the grass.
When Shang Zhen turned around, he felt his hand being hit by something hard.
Although it wasn't very painful, it still made Shang Zhen grimace.
Just now, when Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen fired their guns, Shang Zhen was so frightened that he stumbled and fell down, and the skin on his hand was bruised.
Shang Zhen endured the pain and reached out to pick up the foreign object. Only then did he realize that the grenade that the foolish soldier had lost was in his hand.
It turned out that when the soldier fell just now, the grenade rolled here.
"Don't look for it anymore, it's right here with me!" Shang Zhen said hurriedly without caring about the pain in his hand.
With Shang Zhen's words, the three of them crawled into the woods under the cover of wormwood like the four-legged snakes in the mountains.
The sound of gunfire was still ringing out, and the Japanese army had begun shooting into the woods.
However, there were no more gunshots in the woods. It seemed that Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen hid after covering them with their guns.
"What's your name? My name is Qian Chuan'er, and his name is Erhanzi!" After entering the woods and standing up, the thinner soldier asked Shang Zhen.
Only at this point did Shang Zhen have time to take a closer look at the two men.
Qian Chuan'er has a small nose and small eyes, and his body is a little stronger than himself, but he is still thinner than most people.
The idiot boy, on the other hand, was much fatter than the older man, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips, and he looked quite silly.
"My name is Shang Zhen," Shang Zhen replied, and then he shouted loudly in the woods, "Scholar! Monkey! We are here!"
The scholar naturally refers to Chen Hanwen, and the monkey refers to Hou Kanshan.
Shang Zhendao also wanted to call out their two full names, but Shang Zhen didn’t know them at all!
Shang Zhen is a new recruit and has not been in the Second Company for long.
Most people in the company have nicknames, and it must be said that nicknames are much easier to remember than people's full names.
When Shang Zhen shouted, a voice came from the woods in the distance: "Don't move there, we'll be there soon!" It was Chen Hanwen's voice.
