Rushing directly across the bridge and engaging in a final battle with the remaining puppet army is of course also an option.

But for Shen Chen, it was quite risky. From the bridge to the hiding place of the puppet army, the relatively open river beach and flat land will be difficult to pass.

Although the fighting quality of the puppet army is low, don't despise them too much, with a gun in their hands and can shoot bullets, who knows if they will be hit, or will they be shot blindly?

If it's summer, the broken bridge may not be able to stop the puppet army. But when the weather is cold, with their will and physique, swimming across the river will almost cost them half their lives.

Moreover, Shen Chen and they quietly withdrew under cover, and the puppet army might not necessarily think of a detour to block them.

Even if I thought about it and saw it, the puppet army was able to avoid it by taking a long detour, but it was just letting go of a few wine bags and rice bags. Shen Chen: They were just tired of their legs and feet, and they had nothing else to lose.

Anyway, after such a fuss, Shen Chen didn't think about it when he arrived at Zuwang to reconnoitre. But this does not mean that the reconnaissance mission must not be completed, he still has his own methods.

Seven or eight miles of road, it is said that it is not close, and it is not far away. Shen Chen and the others did not rush forward with all their strength, so as not to consume too much physical strength.

More than half an hour later, the three rushed to another wooden bridge. The wooden bridge is more rudimentary and wide enough for one person to cross.

Shen Chen carefully observed the traces on the ground and determined that there were no new footprints. This is also in line with his judgment, the puppet army should not arrive before them. Or maybe the puppet army chose a different path and avoided them.

The sun sets off the last rays of afterglow, and the winter night comes early, and the sky quickly darkens.

After the three of them crossed the bridge, Shen Chen asked Yu Baogen and Erhuzi to stop advancing, climbed the small earthen hill by the bridge, and rested and waited in a small forest.

The terrain here is relatively favorable, and besides, whether they can block the puppet army or not is no longer a matter for them to decide.

There was a deep silence all around, only the sound of the wind blowing the branches of the trees, and the distant scenery gradually drowned in the dense darkness.

Shen Chen held the binoculars and observed for a moment, and he already had a rough plan in his heart. As long as the enemy collides with him, he cannot be completely annihilated, but most of them must be left.

"The enemy won't flee back any other way, will they?" When Yu Baogen saw that Shen Chen was back, he was not nervous and prepared for battle, so he knew that the enemy had not yet appeared.

Shen Chen was also not sure, and said, "If they escape, it will be their fate, and they will be able to live a few more days." But if you really hit our guns, you'll have to die a few more. ”

Erhuzi smiled and said, "Our reconnaissance mission is enough, but we can kill several devils and save the captured women-" He pointed to the captured guns placed next to him, "It's worth it to get these good guns." ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "I'll arrange it!" If the enemy does come, we'll have to fight a little bit in order. ”

"Okay, it's all up to you." Erhuzi didn't say anything, anyway, he didn't want to use his brain, and he was used to obeying orders.

Yu Baogen nodded in agreement and said: "There are not many enemies left, let's be ruthless and see if they dare to come out and harm the people." ”

Shen Chen called Yu Baogen and Erhuzi, came to the edge of the woods, pointed out the terrain, and began to arrange.

"Let's just wait forty minutes." Shen Chen looked at his watch and said, "If the enemy hasn't come yet, let's go back." ”

Turning to Lin Baogen, Shen Chen asked, "If you go back, do you have to go the same way?" ”

Lin Baogen shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. We can go the other way. You see, here's the fork in the road. From here, pass the merchant shop, and then walk the mountain road, you can also go back to Zhangzhuang. ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that the same path as the other team of scouts?" ”

Lin Baogen nodded with a smile and said, "The first half is different, and the back is the same road." Maybe we'll meet them again! ”

Shen Chen pursed the corners of his mouth, he didn't want it to happen like this, as long as he could go back, he wouldn't be far away, he would be quite satisfied.

"Then let's go our separate ways." Shen Chen stomped his feet and said, "I'll block it here, and by the way, block the wooden bridge, who knows if there will be any enemies who will go here for reinforcements!" ”

After a pause, he stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance and said, "You two are lying in ambush there, I will come with you in a while, choose a position, and then discuss the way to fight according to the terrain." ”

Specific tactics, Shen Chen only has a prototype. Where Erhuzi and Yu Baogen are ambushed, and how to cooperate with the action, can only be determined by on-the-spot inspection.

It was already dark, and Shen Chen didn't go too far, so he found an ambush position less than two hundred meters away from the bridge, and explained it carefully.

Back at Xiaotugang, Shen Chen walked around again, but he was not on the post, but chose a few sniper positions below, and found the best route to attack, before calming down and waiting.

Minutes and seconds passed, and after almost twenty minutes, a little light appeared in the distance, getting closer and closer...... The enemy is coming.

It's good, it's finally here, these bastards. Shen Chen moved his body, entered the sniper position, and pushed out the gun.

After most of the day's tossing, more than a dozen puppet soldiers became loose and exhausted. At this time, the gap in physical strength also appeared, and those who were weak and supported the wounded gradually fell behind.

The puppet army in front of them, as the spearhead, held torches made of pine branches, and walked forward with a sad face, unaware that death had been enveloped.

Erhuzi and Yu Baogen crouched in the woods, staring at the road dozens of meters away.

Although the puppet army sent sharp soldiers, they no longer had the strength to search carefully, and just stood on the road and looked around, such a vigilance had little effect.

Frightened by Shen Chen's sniping, this group of puppet soldiers hid for a long time before they dared to gradually test and confirm that the sharpshooters on the opposite side had gone.

In the battle just now, the puppet army also saw Erhuzi and Yu Baogen, who went to seize weapons and ammunition, and a sharpshooter hiding in the cemetery.

In their minds, the number of opponents is so small, they can only rely on accurate marksmanship and the favorable terrain of the narrow wooden bridge to carry out a sneak attack.

Although this sneak attack caused them heavy losses, but with those three or five people, they will still be entangled when they get the sweetness, and they still have the appetite to eat them all?

And the bridge has been broken, whether to wait for reinforcements on the spot, or to return by detour, the puppet army has an argument and wastes a lot of time.

In the end, the majority advocated a detour to return. The bridge is broken, and the reinforcements can only wait and see, and it will not be able to repair the bridge in a while.

The distance in the other direction is more than ten miles farther than here, and the terrain along the way is also more complicated.

Shen Chen waited patiently, watching the enemy's sharp soldiers walk through the grove where Erhuzi and Yu Baogen were ambushed, and those behind also followed.

Smack! The gunshots rang out suddenly, and then, a puppet soldier walking in the middle didn't even make a sound, so he slammed and fell to the ground.

The puppet army was suddenly attacked, and immediately ran around like frightened rabbits.

Shen Chen quickly pushed the bomb into loading, aimed a little, and then pulled the plate machine.

The bullets flew at a rapid pace, piercing diagonally through the backs of the puppet soldiers who had thrown down their torches and fled in a hurry. By the inertia of running, the puppet army took another step before falling face down.

The timing of Shen Chen's choice was very good, it was when the puppet army passed through the grove. And between the grove and the avenue is a depression, a hiding place for the eye.

Almost without much thought, the puppet soldiers instinctively fled to the depression on the side of the road, and hid themselves by rolling and crawling on the ground. Only two puppet soldiers panicked and ran into the field on the other side of the road.

"Smack!" Shen Chen fired another shot, hitting a puppet soldier with slow legs and feet, and his body fell on the side of the road.

The three or four puppet troops at the back of the team became a fluke because they were backward. When they saw the sound in front of them, the figures screamed and ran around, but they were stunned for a moment, and then turned around and fled.

The gunfire stopped for a while, and Shen Chen was looking for a target, but the battle had just begun.

Erhuzi and Yu Baogen glanced at each other, nodded in unison, grabbed the grenade that was placed in front of him to uncover the lid, and threw it out almost at the same time.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" Explosions rang out one after another in the depression outside the woods, flashing fires and screaming.

Erhuzi and Yu Baogen each threw out three grenades, blowing up the puppet army hidden in the depression to the point that people were on their backs.

Under the dazzling light, the puppet army was falling, running around, screaming, and screaming. In the rising smoke and snow, shrapnel flew and knocked the enemy down.

This round of blows was fatal, killing and wounding six or seven puppet soldiers. If it weren't for the softness of the snow, which weakened the power of the explosion, the results would have been greater.

"Smack!" In the flash, Shen Chen's bullet hit a puppet army officer who jumped up and fled. The guy held his pistol in his hand and fell straight to the ground like a piece of wood.

"Smack, smack!" Erhuzi and Yu Baogen each held their guns and fired at the enemy.

Shen Chen quickly filled the bullet, pulled the leash loaded, jumped up from the lurking place, and rushed forward with his waist bent.

The night was dark, coupled with the camouflage suit, Shen Chen also changed his route from time to time, hiding behind the depression and snow packs that had been observed in advance, and then rushed out and advanced, approaching the battlefield in a large zigzag shape.

Closer, closer, until less than a hundred meters, Shen Chen slowed down and moved more cautiously.

Even dead, wounded, and those who turned around and fled on their own, there were only two or three puppet soldiers left on the battlefield.

Moreover, they were completely beaten stupid and blinded.

The deafening explosions, the rapid and deadly bullets, made them nest like ostriches in snow packs, stones, and depressions, holding their heads and trembling.

The gunfire gradually stopped, and Erhuzi and Yu Baogen cautiously walked out of the woods according to the prior arrangement, and pressed forward with unfamiliar tactical movements.

Shen Chen used a snowy ridge formed by the wind as a cover, and searched for the enemy through the eyes of the night. Yellow-green clothes are still not hard to find in the snow.

It's just that Shen Chen found the target, but he didn't aim at the fatal position. At a distance of less than 100 meters, he was still very sure that he would choose between being killed and wounded.

"Smack!" At the sound of the gunshot, a bullet pierced a hole in the shoulder of a puppet soldier who was looking out, and he covered his wound in pain and wailed on the ground.

"Surrender or die!" Shen Chen shouted in a thick voice.

Erhuzi and Yu Baogen also reacted, but they forgot what Shen Chen had explained, and asked him to remind them.

"Shoot or kill!"

"Surrender or die!"

The two real men shouted loudly, which was more real and more shocking than what Shen Chen pretended.

"If you don't surrender, you'll blow up the dog."

"Shoot them all in the head and kill them all."

Erhuzi and Yu Baogen continued to intimidate and threaten. Yu Baogen was more clever, pulled out a grenade, and threw it forward.

"Boom!" The explosion flashed with dazzling light, and the puppet army lying on the ground could feel the vibration of their stomachs.

After just a little silence, screams, explosions, and threats of death finally broke the psychology of the remnants of the puppet army.

A puppet soldier raised his gun, stood up half of his body tremblingly, and shouted tremblingly: "I surrender, spare my life, spare my life!" ”

This is how the domino effect was created, with the leader and no bullets or grenades, the other puppet soldiers rose up from their hiding places.

Two intact, four wounded, and when the captives were escorted to the side of the road and tied together with a legging, only three remained.

"We have to hurry immediately, these three seriously injured ones can't be carried. Throw them here and wait for the Japanese, or some other puppet army, to come and save them! ”

Shen Chen's reason is very practical, minor injuries do not affect the action, and they can even help carry some seizures, while serious injuries can only be burdensome, and they have to waste medicine to treat them, so they simply leave them here to fend for themselves.

Erhuzi was simple-minded, listened reasonably, and admired Shen Chen sincerely, nodding in agreement without even thinking about it.

Yu Baogen knew better, and felt that this was not quite in line with the educated prisoner policy, but he didn't explicitly oppose it, but just looked at Shen Chen with some hesitation.

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Whoever is willing to carry it, then whoever carries it on his back will be able to support it." ”

Yu Baogen smiled bitterly and turned to clean up the battlefield. He knew that he didn't have this ability, and Shen Chen and Erhuzi were obviously not ready to suffer.

Guns, ammunition, water bottles, belts, etc., Shen Chen also asked the captives to pick up a few coats from the dead bodies and take off a few pairs of shoes.

He untied the bolts of his spears, tied them together, and put all the captured prisoners on their backs.

Shen Chen carried a big gun and a short gun in his hand, escorted the prisoners with Erhuzi and Yu Baogen, turned onto the fork in the road, and marched in the direction of the merchant shop, leaving only three seriously injured puppet soldiers moaning on the ground.

"Hurry up!" Shen Chen raised his foot and kicked the captive's ass and scolded, "One more shot will kill you." ”

Although the wound on the prisoner's shoulder was briefly strangled by the strip of rags, it was still very painful, and he still carried a few long guns without bolts, but he didn't even dare to snort, gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

Shen Chen had another box cannon on his body, with a wooden box, which could be assembled into a shoulder-firing weapon.

In the past, he was not very optimistic about the barge gun, mainly because it was too big to carry, but now, his mind has changed slightly.

With his marksmanship, if he uses a box gun as a shoulder-fired weapon, he can still ensure an extremely high hit rate at least within sixty or seventy meters. The continuous fire rapid-fire of the box gun is not possessed by the 38 big cover.
