Shang Zhen and the others continued to run forward, and soon they caught up with the team in front. With the two wounded men dragging them down, the people in front couldn't run fast at all.

"This won't work!" Du Man gasped.

These were the two wounded men being held up by their companions, with expressions of guilt and pain on their faces.

The two of them felt guilty because they thought they were holding everyone back, and the pain was not just because of guilt, but also because the wound hurt.

"Let's do this, hide the two of them in the fork in front." Du Man observed the terrain while running.

What they were traveling on was a main road in the valley, with mountains on both sides, but the mountains were not huge mountains with walls thousands of feet high. There were always some small gaps between the mountains.

It's just that the gap in the mountain is obviously a dead end. There is a thin layer of snow on the ground, and there is not even a single footprint on the snow. However, the area near the foot of the mountain is covered with soil. If the Japanese troops who came after stepping on it are not paying attention, they should not be able to find it.

"We'll hide you there. You stay there and don't make any sound. The Japanese will chase us later and they won't be able to find you two. We'll come back to pick you up after we get rid of the Japanese army." Du Man continued.

What can the two injured people say? This is the only situation now.

However, Du Man would never ignore the two wounded. He pointed at the two soldiers and said: "You two, take them over and hide them together. Be careful not to step on the snow! The others will follow.

I'll keep running!"

The Japanese troops were chasing closely behind them, and Du Man had no time to hesitate. Now that he had finished talking, they separated in a moment.

Du Man took most of the people and ran forward. At this time, Du Man had time to ask Shang Zhen, who had caught up after him, "Where is Er Chengzi?"

"Killed in battle." Shang Zhen could only answer truthfully.

Du Man didn't say anything and ran forward, but Shang Zhen understood that Du Man must also feel sorry for Er Chengzi. After all, sharpshooters like Er Chengzi are really rare.

After running for a while, Du Man turned back and asked Shang Zhen, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I heard from a puppet soldier that he killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers by himself!" Shang Zhen continued to answer.

Du Man didn't ask again this time, but when he heard Shang Zhen's words, Wang Lao Mao breathed heavily but didn't forget to say "you're blind"!

Everyone likes a good soldier.

Shang Zhen ran with everyone, but what he was thinking about was that he didn't know how others would evaluate him one day after he died. Would he also say "I was blind in vain"?

Shang Zhen and others ran forward for about 200 meters, and at this time, the Japanese army appeared again behind them.

"Go back and shoot some more!" Du Man shouted.

The dead have passed away, and the living must always be considered. The location where the Japanese army appeared was also close to the crevice in the mountain where the Duman Tibetans had been.

Gunshots rang out messily, but Shang Zhen and others didn't fire many back. The reason was that the Japanese troops were far away, and most of them used box artillery mechanisms, but only rifles.

So many.

The reason here is that when the Broadsword Squadron attacked the Japanese military camp last night, their standard equipment was a broadsword and two grenades, and many of them carried box cannons.

The box cannon not only left a strong mark in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War, but even before the War of Resistance, when the warlords were fighting, the gunshots of the box cannon could be heard everywhere.

The box gun is originally produced in Germany and is called a Mauser pistol.

Because the box gun has a problem with the muzzle jumping when shooting, Westerners don't like to use it.

However, as soon as this kind of gun entered China, it received a warm welcome. Officers liked to use it, soldiers liked to use it, and bandit beards also liked to use it.

They didn't change the gun, they just changed the way of shooting. It was nothing more than shooting with the palm of the hand pointing down or up. In this way, the pistol was held flat, which was perfect for scattering shots.

In addition, this box gun is just a pistol, so nowadays the arsenals of various warlords in China can produce it themselves. No one knows how many box guns China's arsenals produced during the entire Anti-Japanese War.

That's why the Chinese army has pistol companies, pistol battalions, and even pistol brigades.

It's just that guns of different lengths have their own uses. The Japanese army is still far away from them now, so the box guns are naturally out of use.

In order to attract the attention of the Japanese army and avoid discovering the four soldiers hiding in the crevices of the mountain, Du Mancai and everyone fired a few more shots.

At this time, the Japanese army's large troops had already come up. As soon as their guns fired, the Japanese machine guns fired bullets like rain.

Fortunately, there were rocks on the roadside, so Shang Zhen and the others were safe.

But just as Du Man was greeting everyone and running forward, they suddenly heard the explosion of grenades from behind, and then the Japanese machine gunfire became sparse.

Everyone was stunned by what happened next. It was impossible for the Japanese army to throw grenades at them. They couldn't even reach the Japanese army with box cannons. How could the Japanese army throw grenades at them?

During a moment of silence, a soldier suddenly shouted: "No, they have been discovered!"

The "they" the soldier mentioned undoubtedly referred to the four soldiers who had just hidden on the road, including the two wounded.

"It's impossible. There is no snow at the bottom of the mountain. It's impossible for the little devils to see them going in!" Han Liancai said.

At this time, everyone took advantage of the cover of the stone to squat down and poke their heads out to see. Sure enough, they saw Japanese soldiers shooting into the gap in the mountain!

"Let's go, keep going, they're finished!" Mr. Wang said helplessly.

Even if there are more than 20 of them now, they can only be wiped out when they encounter the Japanese army group, not to mention that there are only four soldiers on the other side, and two of them are wounded.

But while Mr. Wang was talking, the gunshots behind them became sparse, and Shang Zhen said: "Quickly retreat, the little Japs are catching up again!"

In this situation, you don't need to look at it to know that the four soldiers must have been killed.

After gathering their emotions, everyone could only continue to flee forward.

Shang Zhen and the others did not know how many troops the Japanese army had, but they could also imagine that the four soldiers launched an attack on the Japanese army. It was like throwing stones into the river, and it only caused a small splash.

It is impossible to stop the flow of the river.

As for whether the four soldiers took the initiative to attack the Japanese army, or whether the Japanese army discovered them, Shang Zhen and the others are even less sure.

A human war, with tens of millions of casualties, many details of which will be lost to obscurity with the death of those involved.

However, Shang Zhendao would rather believe that it was the four soldiers who took the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

Through contact with Du Man and others, Shang Zhen discovered that the personalities of people from the northwest and the northeast are still different.

People from the Northeast are a bit fierce in character and a bit poor in speech, while people in the Northwest are more honest and simple and speak less.
