Chapter Twenty-Six: Blowing up bridges, sniping and blocking the enemy
As the minutes ticked by, the plan seemed to be getting closer and closer to its successful completion. But the unexpected happened just when people's hopes were at their highest.
"Uhhhh
Two or three miles away, the train arrived quickly, and it was supposed to be when Zhu Zi and Erhuzi were about to climb onto the bridge and wait for the train to reach the bridge and ignite the explosives, but the devil's patrol unexpectedly reappeared on the bridge and walked along the bridge with a click.
"it!" Lao Zhou lay in the snow, looking through a few bushes of dead grass, and couldn't help but scold.
Zhao Tie swallowed hard, and his voice was so loud that everyone next to him could hear it.
It's this train every day, and if you miss it, you can only wait until tomorrow, but it's almost impossible.
It's not that the pillar and the two tigers can't hold out for a day and a night in the hole, but as soon as the morning dawns, can the rope tied to the bridge railing not be discovered by the patrolling devils? The odds are simply too small.
The pillar and the second tiger were also anxious, but the footsteps were so unhurried, the devil was still on the bridge, and the train had already arrived at the bridge.
"Whew!" With a bang, the train "clanged" across the ash bridge, and the sound gradually disappeared.
Like a basin of ice water splashed on people's heads, Zhao Tie smashed his fist on the ground, his teeth chattering.
Nervousness and anxiety disappeared in the heart of the pillar as the train passed, he smiled bitterly in the dark, thought for a while, looked up and said, "Erhuzi, are you really not afraid of death?" ”
"Of course, I'm bragging?" Although Erhuzi was stunned, he also understood the meaning of Zhuzi's question about him, and said: "The train didn't catch up, we still have legs, light the fire, let's go out." ”
The patrol has also passed, and it will take some time for them to be dispatched again, maybe this is the opportunity! The pillar gritted his teeth and said, "You go down the rope first, and I'll light the fire." ”
"Let's go down together, your side, my side." Erhuzi was very righteous and refused to go first.
"What this way and that side, we both have to walk from one side, so we can run together!" The pillar pushed Erhuzi and urged: "Hurry, don't rub it." ”
Erhuzi paused, reluctantly climbed to the edge of the hole, pulled the rope down, and slowly pulled it down tightly.
The pillar was also moved to the side, and the probe took a look, and saw that Erhuzi had waded knee-deep water to the riverbank under the bridge, so he lit the lead.
In the faint light of the blue sparks, he grabbed the rope and jumped out of the hole.
With a fuse of about two minutes, how far can two people run out? Can the devil on the turret be spotted?
Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie glanced at each other, but they didn't speak, and immediately bent down, clenched their guns, and focused on aiming.
Two men leapt out of the shadows under the bridge and ran desperately along the river bank on the left.
But the devil's guard is not false, the vigilance is indeed very high, the searchlight of the turret on the right side shook twice, swept over, hit the two of them, and followed.
It's broken, and as soon as the searchlight is on it, it is immediately machine gun fire. Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou's hearts both mentioned their throats, and even in the cold temperature, their palms were wet.
"Smack!" The crisp gunfire suddenly rang out, the searchlight went out with a bang, and the running figures of the pillar and the two tigers immediately disappeared.
In less than two seconds, the machine gun on the turret spat out tongues of fire, and a string of bullets hit the river and the riverbank.
Zhu Zi and Erhuzi felt the bullet almost rub their heels and hit the ground, and the ice ballast and stone chips burst into their legs.
It was the distance of a few meters that flew out, and the effect of the sudden darkness on people's eyes, that the devil's machine gun missed its position.
"Smack, smack!" Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie shot at the place where the machine gun burst into flames, the two were not sharpshooters, and it was difficult to hit the enemy at such a distance, but cover also included attracting enemy fire.
"Smack!" Shen Chen pulled the trigger, and it was inconspicuous in the chaotic gunfire of the enemy and me, but the searchlight swept by the turret on the left side was also extinguished.
Even though it could only sweep over the river bank on the left, the reflection that could be cast in the river still faintly revealed two running figures.
Good marksmanship! Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou both admired in their hearts, listening to the location of the gunshot, Da Mei should be behind their side. It's shocking that the distance is farther than theirs, but it can be so accurate.
The gunshots and shouts became louder and louder, and the devils rushed out of the turret, ran to the bridge, looked for the attackers, and opened fire.
Under the light of the machine gun's fire, Shen Chen's night eyes could almost see the hideous face of the devil behind the crooked machine gun, and he shot a shot coldly and calmly, and the machine gun was dumb.
"Smack!" The gunshots were mixed, but Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou saw a devil who ran to the bridge and shot at the railing turned over and fell, and the gun fell off the bridge.
Accurate, true! With such a sharpshooter, the guerrillas were strengthened, or rather, they became combat-ready.
Fried, fried! Almost everyone was anxiously waiting, and every second felt like it was too slow.
Although there is no searchlight illumination, the running figures can still be faintly seen under the dark moon, and the number of devils is increasing, and it is difficult to effectively cover the two people out of danger with only three guns.
It's a turn! The bend of the river may be the first guarantee for two people to get out of danger.
With night eyes and precision, Shen Chen pulled the bolt of the gun and fired rapidly, buying time for the pillar and the second tiger.
Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also kept shooting, attracting more and more devils to fight back.
"Boom!" A loud bang rang out in the burst of firelight, and debris of masonry rose into the air, covering the bridge with ash and snow.
All of a sudden, a deafening loud noise seemed to drown out all the sounds, and it was at this moment that the devils on the bridge were killed, the devils in the turret were diverted, and the sight of the shooting was blocked, creating the most favorable conditions for the escape of the pillar and the two tigers.
But the battle is not over, some devils and puppet soldiers are chasing along the river embankment, and the gunfire is still ringing.
The devils guarding the bridge originally had a small team, and a group of sweepers were transferred, and only about 20 were left, and more than 30 puppet troops were added, with a total of more than 50 people. And the enemy who caught up with him had five devils and more than a dozen puppet soldiers.
The danger of Zhuzi and Erhuzi was temporarily relieved, and the enemy pursued them on the embankment, and they ran on the bank of the river, and the river was tortuous, and the direct fire was very hindered.
coupled with the dim night and unclear vision, the cover of Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, and Shen Chen's sniping; The two of them finally met up with Zhao Tie and the others, but the pursuers were still behind.
"Smack!" There was a crisp gunshot, and a devil had just half-knelt down to aim, and a bullet drilled into his body.
"Smack!" Another shot, a devil elephant was punched, his body shook, and he rolled down the embankment.
Zhao Tie and the old periphery fought and retreated, and could sense the gunshots that rang out from time to time in the back and behind the side, and knew that it was Da Mei who was shooting, but he always kept a distance of about forty or fifty meters from them.
This girl-the two of them figured it out, and Da Mei was also fighting and retreating, moving.
In this way, the pursuing enemy only sees the bridge bombers running in front of them, and is less likely to pay attention to the snipers who are farther away.
In other words, they are the target, attracting the attention of the enemy, but Da Mei is hiding behind the assassin.
Although this is a bit unkind, but people are girls, how can there be a reason to let people be in front?
Besides, although they are farther away than you, they can fight more accurately than you, and every time a shot is fired, the enemy will fall in response, and the dead and wounded enemies will be beaten by others.
This marksmanship, this eyesight, don't blame the girl for being crazy, she really has the ability. Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou lay on the ground, shooting, and admired in their hearts.
And - the pursuing enemy seems to have slowed down, fired fewer bullets, and shouted less and whist!
"The devil seems to be gone?" Zhao Tie was the first to discover the reason, and turned to Lao Zhou uncertainly: "The puppet army is scared? ”
Lao Zhou looked at it for a while, and also felt that it should be like this, and couldn't help but say: "This eyesight, this marksmanship, amazing!" I have never seen someone who can still be picked. ”
"Smack!" Before the words fell, another gunshot rang out behind him, and a puppet army officer who stretched out half of his body and brandished a pistol and shouted to supervise the battle fell.
There was a panic and confusion, and the puppet soldiers lay behind the embankment and fired their guns indiscriminately, really not daring to stand up and pursue. But their marksmanship is not enough to see, and the threat becomes small.
"Hey, it's really picky." Lao Zhou glanced at Zhao Tie, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Let's get out of the way, don't let the enemies in the mine wrap it up for us." Zhao Tie reminded that this was the best time to retreat, and if he waited for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive, it would be troublesome.
"Yes, get out." Lao Zhou said and crawled back, and after crawling out of a distance, he half-cated and accelerated his speed.
…………
If you don't have a companion, or someone else to attract the attention of your enemies, you probably can't snipe so calmly.
Why did there almost never appear a world-class sniper during the anti-Japanese period in China, and the results of sniping were not very significant?
A very important reason is that in the face of the three-dimensional offensive of the Japanese army, it is difficult for both the Kuomintang army and the Communist Party army to maintain a relatively stable front.
And during World War II, a female sniper of the Soviet army was able to shoot hundreds of German soldiers, and she was not alone.
Around her, there were countless ordinary Soviet soldiers, tanks, artillery to stabilize the front. Otherwise, if she could not stop the German armored clusters, she would have to die with the enemy except to retreat.
Therefore, even Shen Chen understood that when a large army was engaged in artillery fire, a few accurate rifle firepower could not play a decisive role.
With this understanding, Shen Chen did not have any complacent and proud feelings about today's results.
But in the eyes of Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie, on the one hand, they felt that this girl was very murderous, and on the other hand, they also gave her a calm and calm evaluation.
It's still the same outfit, but it's a little dirty; The mask on his face concealed the subtle changes in his expression, except for a slight shortness of breath.
Very casually carrying a gun on his back, without any exaggerated movements; Judging from the appearance, there were only those big black eyes, and of course Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie couldn't judge Shen Chen's psychological changes by looking at his face.
"It's okay, it's a hole." The pillar grinned and was still pretending to be a tough guy, but he didn't dare to lose face in front of a girl.
He was so nervous when he ran for his life that he didn't feel the bullet passing through his shoulder, and as soon as he stopped, people found him injured.
Erhuzi's chest was still rising and falling sharply, and a thick white mist was spraying from his mouth. There were no injuries on the body, but all the bullets in the pistol were shot, and at a distance of one or two hundred meters, it could hit people. However, he did get past the addiction of shooting guns.
Only one person was injured, and although there was an accident, the plan succeeded, and Shen Chen's credit was the greatest. Maybe others don't understand it very well, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie have experience, so they naturally know the key.
"Great, hero." Lao Zhou saw that the injury of the pillar had been bandaged, and there was no major problem for the time being, so he hurriedly walked in front of Shen Chen, who was standing outside the circle, observing but not speaking, first stretched out his thumb, and praised: "Amazing, this is considered a master, it is really amazing." ”
Shen Chen pursed his lips slightly, his eyes bent for a moment, and he could guess that he was laughing, but he closed it quickly and said, "Uncle Zhou, if it's okay, I'll leave first." She's alone in the hole, and I'm not at ease. ”
She, that is, Juanzi. Lao Zhou nodded, didn't mention her name, and said: "This is not a solution, I discussed it with Lao Zhao before, and sent her to Liucun to live for a while, what do you think?" ”
Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "It's okay, she has someone to take care of, and I can rest assured." ”
"We're tossing so much, in order to avoid trouble, I'm going to pull people into the mountains and forests." Lao Zhou said tentatively: "You can join in too!" They are all newbies, and if you teach them, I believe that they will soon become real fighters. ”
"How can it be that simple?" Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, since Uncle Zhou can trust me, then I will do my best." ”
"Lao Zhao." Lao Zhou greeted and said to Zhao Tie who came over: "I have to work hard for you, go with the big and the hero, and send that girl to Liucun according to what we discussed." ”
"What's the hard work, this leg and foot are repaired for a few hundred miles, and it's still a matter of dozens of miles?" Zhao Tie pondered for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll take the pillar and Erhuzi away directly, and you can arrange the rest of the people and hurry up and enter the mountain." ”
"I think so too, the pillars are hung with colors, and it is safer to go into the mountains. By the way, plus one or two people, let's meet in the valley where the brimstone is burning! Lao Zhou said, seeing that Shen Chen didn't react, he had to smile bitterly.
Originally, there was a plan to pull people into the mountains and forests, and a lot of preparations were done, and several people carried bags and guns and walked into the mountains and forests.
Erhuzi was carrying a big burden, and he was rushing to carry the gun, even if he was just touching it, he also had a sense of steadfastness in his heart.
Zhao Tie was much more steady and cautious, although he wanted to chat with Damei while walking, he still took the initiative to walk in front and serve as a top soldier.
There was an arm hanging from the pillar, and he didn't take anything on his body, so everyone took care of his injury.
