"How poor do you think those Eighth Route Army soldiers are?" When Qin Chuan said this, it was already the afternoon of the third day, and Shang Zhen and the others were heading towards Meihua Town.

The reason why Qin Chuan asked this was naturally reasonable.

The Japanese troops they defeated happened to save Lu Cao's daughter-in-law Gao Huaide.

Of course, the trophies of the Japanese army are all good things, but even in normal times, since Shang Zhen and the others were mostly engaged in guerrilla warfare, they had neither the people nor the time to collect all the trophies, so every time they only picked out the useful ones.

But this time it was good, they just saved Gao Huaide, and Gao Huaide confiscated all the useful things.

These items included Japanese guns and ammunition, clothes, shoes, socks, and everything else that could be used.

But in this case, the loot will be too much.

All the people led by Gao Huaide were killed. Shang Zhen had no choice but to let Hou Kanshan lead ten people to help Gao Huaide deliver the loot to the Taihang Mountains. Shang Zhen took the remaining people and started after a day's rest.

Return to Plum Blossom Town.

Gao Huaide was so happy this time! Shang Zhen could tell from Gao Huaide's expression that this was by no means the first time that Gao Huaide had sent weapons to the Eighth Route Army!

The weapons sent to the Eighth Route Army this time included several sacks of bullets originally brought by Gao Huaide, and Japanese rifle bullets and grenades captured by Shang Zhen.

Of course, this also included some rifles that had been unbolted and thrown away by the Japanese army.

That's because this time the Japanese army was really beaten cold by Shang Zhen and the others. In the end, the Japanese army destroyed the guns and fled.

"How poor are you?" Mr. Wang sneered, "Didn't you see? The leader's wife almost took off the little devil's belt!"

Wang Lao Mao's metaphor was a bit excessive, but it was also very vivid. The soldiers were about to laugh, but when they saw Shang Zhen glance over, they quickly shut their mouths.

"I am the only one who dares to say this. Who else dares to say this?" Little Dustpan said, not knowing whether his words were considered as praise or criticism.

"Then won't you answer the call?" Shang Zhen glanced at the little dustpan, so the little dustpan also closed his mouth.

"I see you're not tired, right? Let's all run forward!" Shang Zhen said.

Mr. Wang's old face turned red for a rare moment, and he also started running.

He also felt that what he said was a bit too much. After all, she was the regiment leader's wife, in other words, the officer's wife. It was a bit too vulgar to say so.

As they moved forward, just as they approached Plum Blossom Town, they heard the faint sound of gunfire.

This time, without Shang Zhen's orders, everyone slowed down and finally stopped. After all, a fight broke out in Plum Blossom Town.

"Qian Chuan'er Qin Chuan, go find a fellow countryman and ask." Shang Zhen ordered.

Qian Chuan'er and Qin Chuan said not to run forward. Since there was a fight ahead, Shang Zhen and the others could not move forward rashly.

About half an hour later, Qian Chuan'er and the other two ran back and reported: "My fellow villagers said they have been fighting for a whole day. The Japanese army has been besieging Meihua Town since this morning. We also saw that there were Japanese troops in our direction, but they seemed to be all

Facing Plum Blossom Town."

"In this case, let's continue to move forward. Everyone must be careful not to let the Japanese army find out." Shang Zhen said.

Still unclear about what is going on ahead? Shang Zhen certainly does not want to fight the Japanese army.

They had really taken advantage of them in the past two days, and they had beaten and delayed the Japanese squadron that was chasing them. He didn't want his talents to be remembered by the Japanese army.

This plain area is not like a mountainous area at all. There is no terrain to hide in. If they are discovered, they will definitely be doomed.

This time Shang Zhen ran to the front with a small dustpan and a string of money. He needed to use a telescope.

When Shang Zhen and the others arrived less than two miles away from Meihua Town, they stopped.

There are several households here, but the terrain here is perfect for observing the situation in Meihua Town.

Shang Zhen glanced around. He originally wanted to go up to the roof, but seeing that the roof was not high and it was also a thatched house, he didn't go up.

What does a thatched house refer to? The roof is covered with grass to protect it from rain and snow. However, the roof is most afraid of people stepping on it. It is grass. If it is stepped on, it will leak when it rains.

He saw that there was a wooden pole as thick as a bowl, more than three meters long, leaning against the courtyard wall of that house, so he took the wooden pole and put it on the wheat straw pile of that house.

That diesel engine is more than three meters high.

Little Dustpan and Qian Chuaner guessed what he meant and were busy supporting him below. Shang Zhen hunched over and grabbed the wooden pole with his hands, stepping on it alternately with his feet, and climbed up the wheat straw pile.

But when he got on the wheat straw pile, he heard the door of the house. When he turned around, he saw an old man running out of the house and shouting: "Who the hell is going to my firewood pile?"

It's just that the old man didn't see it clearly when he went out, but he saw it clearly this time. He saw that Shang Zhen was actually a soldier and was carrying a gun. He was so frightened that he said "Oh my god" and shrank back.

Shang Zhen ignored the old man and took out his binoculars to look in the direction of Plum Blossom Town.

With a telescope, it is natural to see much clearer, but Shang Zhen and the others are currently located in the north corner of the west of Meihua Town. Blocked by the large wall of Meihua Town, what Shang Zhen can see is limited.

.

Now it seems that the fighting is the most intense in the north of Meihua Town, and the sound of gunfire never stops.

It's just that Shang Zhen couldn't lead his team to the north. That should be the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, and there were no shelters nearby.

Shang Zhen could only look patiently with a telescope, but after a while he really saw something bright.

Although he couldn't see the offensive and defensive situation of the enemy and us under the north wall, he could see the situation further north in Meihua Town. He saw that the Japanese army used stretchers to carry the wounded down!

When the enemy and we are fighting, bullets are flying everywhere, but the wounded still have to be rescued.

Since the Japanese army had many wounded, there must be many who were killed!

I just don’t know what the casualties were in Plum Blossom Town?

At this time, Shang Zhen suddenly remembered that the 691st Regiment seemed to have several mortars, and he didn't know if the shells were out.

How about a skinny camel bigger than a horse? The Northeastern Army still had some wealth. Those who couldn't be moved were left in Shenyang and were occupied by the Japanese army, but those who could be moved were naturally taken to the pass.

Thinking of this, Shang Zhen thought again, he didn't know where the Japanese army's preliminary position was.

One side attacks the city and the other defends it.

The party attacking a city always needs to have a preliminary position from which to launch the attack.

If the 691st Regiment still has artillery shells, it should be able to kill a lot of little Japs by firing a few rounds at the Japanese reserve positions, right?

Shang Zhen took the telescope and looked north, and then he saw a forest into which the wounded Japanese soldiers were carried.

It is estimated that the Japanese army's reserve position is there, and the 691st Regiment must have no artillery shells. It would be great if there were artillery shells.

It's a pity that I have too few people. If I dare to attack the Japanese army's reserve position, it won't be enough for the Japanese army.

Shang Zhen was thinking in his mind, but he didn't know that right on the north wall of Plum Blossom Town, Lu Cao, the leader of the 691st Regiment, was also looking at the woods to the north.

He turned back and looked under the city wall again. At this time, under the city wall, there were already more than 300 bodies of dead Northeastern Army soldiers!

The battle was so intense that there was no time to transport the corpses down. As the battle continued, more and more corpses of soldiers fell from the top of the city. Now they were all level with the city wall, and even the soldiers below were no longer there.

When they came to the city for support, they all stepped on the corpses of their own brothers!

"How many shells do we have left?" Lu Cao turned around and asked.

"Report to the commander, we have a total of forty-one shells left!" said the commander of the artillery company next to him.
Chapter completed!
