Chapter 61: Returning in Victory

Although there were only two people attacking, the explosion and continuous fire were quite amazing.

Shen Chen became more and more accustomed to the shoulder-to-shoulder shooting of the box gun, and the speed was getting closer and closer to the rapid fire he fired with his pistol at close range.

At a distance of several tens of meters, as a high-power pistol, the lethality of the box gun is still considerable.

The enemy, who already had little left, was beaten by a sneak attack, and in an instant suffered heavy casualties and completely collapsed. Only the two remaining Imperial Concordant troops fled in panic and burrowed into the woods.

At this point, the battle was completely over, and there was only a wolf-like battlefield in front of Shen Chen and Yu Baogen.

Shen Chen approached vigilantly, and Yu Baogen hurriedly followed, and easily attached the bayonet to the gun.

The tent had been completely overturned, and the reason for the explosion was also due to the panicked escape of the enemy inside.

A devil wounded man was not yet dead, he had a mustache, and was struggling to crawl on the ground to grab a spear not far away.

When he reached out and grabbed the gun, it had already been stepped on with one foot.

The devil raised his head and saw Shen Chen's cold gaze, Yu Baogen also followed, and the bayonet stabbed the devil, and the tip of the knife even pierced into his flesh, and blood seeped out.

Seeing that there was no hope of resisting and escaping, the devil lowered his head, rolled over, and looked up, his eyes shining with terror and hatred.

"Mother X, you dare to stare at people, and I gouged out your eyeballs for a while." Yu Baogen gestured at the devil's face with a bayonet.

Shen Chen suddenly stretched out his hand behind him and pushed the butt of the gun smoothly, Yu Baogen didn't watch out, and the bayonet pierced into the devil's eye with a pop.

There was no bone to hinder it, the bayonet went straight into the head, and the devil didn't even snort, and then he died.

Yu Baogen was startled, hurriedly pulled out his bayonet, and went to see Shen Chen again. Shen Chen walked away as if he had nothing to do, leaving him with only a back.

Swallowing hard, Yu Baogen opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, and sped up two steps to keep up with Shen Chen.

Preferential treatment of prisoners, Shen Chen does not have such a concept. Is it necessary to save the life of this devil who deserves death, treat his wounds, and let him waste food?

Except for two seriously wounded and one lightly wounded, there were no more living enemies. Shen Chen felt that there was no more danger, so he asked Yu Baogen to send a signal and let his team cross the bridge to rendezvous.

And just when Yu Baogen ran to make contact, Shen Chen killed two seriously injured prisoners. It is a burden, and it is also a waste of medicine, food, and manpower, and Shen Chen feels that killing one more enemy is saving limited resources.

When Cao Xiaobao and his team rushed over, the only remaining task was to take care of the only prisoner and clean up the battlefield.

When I went to the corpse of the enemy, I found a depression and threw it into it to cover it with snow, and it was considered to be finished. Who has the strength to dig the soil in the pit and the ground?

The mules tied to the trees were brought over, loaded into carts, loaded with captured weapons, ammunition and other supplies, and a dozen people embarked on the return journey back to Chen Village with joy and excitement.

Shen Chen finished arranging the marching queue and told the top soldiers to pay attention to vigilance, and then got into the mule cart. Cao Xiaobao thoughtfully lit the charcoal brazier and let it in.

Leaning on the pile of clothes and pants that he had taken off, Shen Chen really felt tired, and he didn't feel the smell of blood on his clothes and pants so pungently, he just wanted to rest with his eyes closed so warmly.

The captive's confession was preliminarily asked, and it was true that there were only a few dozen Imperial Allies left in Zuwang's stronghold. And the Japanese adviser has been sniped by Shen Chen, no one is urging and coercing, and the Imperial Allied Army will not have the desire to take the initiative.

In other words, Chen Village, as well as the surrounding villages, are safe for the time being.

As for Zu Wang, as long as the enemy did not pour out, Shen Chen felt that there was no possibility of attacking him. And a stronghold that has lost the ability to take the initiative to attack, Shen Chen also feels that there is no threat.

The next move may still revolve around Zuwang, but it is the surrounding villages of the stronghold, so as to isolate the enemy so that he cannot get supplies on the spot, and try to squeeze the enemy out.

Shen Chen closed his eyes, thinking about it, a little drowsy. But he still has a trace of reason, tries to think about other things, and waits to return to Chen Village to have a good rest.

The team marched all the way without much trouble. The fleeing Imperial Concordant didn't dare to come back to take a look at them, and they didn't know where they had gone.

When there was still some distance from Chen Village, the soldiers met with the guard post arranged by Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie and made contact. At this moment, Shen Chen only felt a sense of relief in his heart, and the barely suppressed sleepiness struck violently.

Although taking advantage of the mines, as well as being familiar with the terrain, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie led their troops to successfully harass and attack the enemy, leaving the enemy exhausted and having to retreat gloomily.

But the harassment took its toll, with two team members wounded and one team member killed. In the eyes of Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie, they do not have the ability to continue to pursue and expand the results.

Therefore, they only followed the enemy from a distance for a while, and then led the team back, and sent out a warning post to prevent the enemy from killing the horse.

Based on this consideration, the guerrillas entered Chen Village to rest temporarily, but they were still nervous and did not think that it was absolutely safe.

When the sentry rushed back to report, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie didn't know the details of the situation, they only knew that Shen Chen's team had won the battle and came back with the capture.

In their minds, they thought that it was Shen Chen's team that attacked other enemies, but they didn't expect that the group of enemies they sent away had been wiped out.

Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie led a few team members out of the village, and soon a group of people came into sight.

"Mule cart?!" Zhao Tie's eyes were good, and he saw something familiar first, but he didn't dare to be very sure.

After a while, Lao Zhou also noticed, turned his head to look at Zhao Tie in some astonishment, and said, "It's familiar, it can't be that enemy, right?" ”

At this time, Zhao Tie was already paying attention to other things. He narrowed his eyes, looking carefully for the more unusual and familiar figure.

"Where's Xiaochen?" Zhao Tie asked suspiciously, "In the car?" Doesn't it look like hers? ”

Shen Chen has always been at the front, whether it is as a spearhead or in battle. When he did this, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also understood that they were worried that the quality of the team members was not high, and they were afraid of causing accidental casualties or mistakes.

Lao Zhou also searched hard, shook his head slowly, and said, "It should be in the car, right?" Let's go, let's greet again. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Tie had already taken a big step forward. He was a little worried, worried about whether Shen Chen was injured and had to come back by car.

It's not that I'm worried about other accidents, because Zhao Tie also saw the expressions of the team members walking in front.

"Captain, instructor, we're back." Cao Xiaobao hurriedly walked a few steps and greeted Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.

Zhao Tie saw Cao Xiaobao's smile, his heart was more settled, he nodded with a smile, and asked, "What about your captain?" ”

Cao Xiaobao turned his head and pointed, and said, "The captain is tired, rest in the car!" After a pause, he added: "I fought several battles in a row, ran dozens of miles, and waded through the glacier, but it was too hard. ”

Zhao Tie got closer, and seeing that this mule cart was becoming more and more familiar, he couldn't help asking, "Where did you get this cart?" And where did you meet the enemy? ”

Cao Xiaobao waved his hand and motioned for the team members to drive the mule cart first, and then opened his mouth to tell and explain to Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.

"I really came to Chen Village and entangled with our enemies for a long time." Lao Zhou understood and said, "There are several devils in there, and there are more than a dozen of them in the Imperial Army!" ”

Cao Xiaobao nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, there are seven or eight sets of devils' clothes alone, and the Imperial Association Army seems to have run away two or three." Well, I heard from Yu Baogen. ”

"All of you wiped out?" Zhao Tie was a little incredulous and asked, "You tell me what happened today." ”

Walking into the village, Cao Xiaobao can be regarded as having a rough explanation, and Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou can be regarded as fully understood.

"This girl-" Lao Zhou let out a sigh, stretched out his finger, and said with a smile: "Quickly let someone take her to rest, look sleepy, and walk shaking." ”

Not far ahead, Shen Chen was woken up, jumped out of the stopped mule cart, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and staggered towards the lighted room next to him.

Without anyone else, Chang Chunling had already appeared, helped Shen Chen, and while talking, he led him to his original residence.

If you want to say that Chang Chunling is really busy, who made her the only medical nurse in the guerrillas! Hearing that Shen Chen's team was back, she rushed over to see if there were any wounded people to take care of.

Zhao Tie pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled and watched Shen Chen and Chang Chunling walk away, before walking to the mule cart and watching the team members happily move down and seize.

There are nearly 20 guns alone, and several 38 large covers are particularly conspicuous. Although the Imperial Allied Army also has a small amount of distribution, the degree of newness and oldness is clear at a glance.

"None of the devils ran away." Lao Zhou stretched out his hand to pick up a gun, stroked it, and said with emotion: "Now we can sleep peacefully." ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "Let's interrogate the prisoners first and make the situation clear." If there are no more enemies left in Zuwang's stronghold, even if we can't capture them, we can move on to expanding other villages. ”

Lao Zhou thought so, waved his hand and called the two team members to let them escort the prisoners over.

Shen Chen was still in a daze, and was led back to his original residence by Chang Chunling. Although the devil entered the village, he did not have time to wreak havoc. And the house has been cleaned up by Chang Chunling, and there is not much change to be seen.

"Sleep, sleep." Shen Chen muttered, sat on the edge of the kang and fell backwards.

Chang Chunling hurriedly supported him and coaxed him: "Take off your clothes and sleep comfortably under the covers." Come on, I'll help you. ”

Shen Chen did it himself, Chang Chunling also helped, took off his clothes, pants, shoes and socks, and got into the quilt, the warm kang was burning, and he hummed a few times comfortably.

Chang Chunling carefully folded the quilt for Shen Chen, but did not go to sleep immediately, but took Shen Chen's clothes and pants and put them on the kang to spread them and roast them. After cleaning up, Chang Chunling went to the kang to blow out the oil lamp and began to rest.

At this time, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie had already interrogated almost each other. As soon as the situation of Zuwang's stronghold was understood, both of them felt relieved in their hearts.

Without additional troops, Zuwang's enemies would have lost the ability to attack on their own.

At best, dozens of Imperial Association troops could only shrink into turtle shells to defend, or operate in a small area around the perimeter, and the threat to Chen Village and other places on this side of the river was greatly reduced.

The captives were taken down, and only Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie were left in the house.

With a deep groan, Lao Zhou slowly spoke: "It seems that we have to reformulate our plans and change our struggle tactics." ”

Zhao Tie did not think about it, although the situation had changed, the overall strength of the guerrillas was still weak, and they could neither attack the stronghold nor try not to fight the enemy head-on.

"The strength of the guerrillas is still not enough." Zhao Tie touched his chin and said, "If you want to expand, train, and fight against the enemy, you can only carry out small-scale harassment attacks. In addition, more landmines should be built and more mine warfare should be carried out. ”

Lao Zhou nodded and said, "Guerrillas, of course, they should be dominated by guerrillas. We don't have enough strength to attack the Zuwang stronghold, and we can't suffer losses because of this. Mines are a good thing, and this time they can force the enemy to retreat, and it will be effective. ”

After a pause, Lao Zhou continued: "Anyway, after continuous fighting, we have gained a buffer time. Therefore, on the one hand, we must build up our forces, and on the other hand, we must also harass the enemy. These two goals, or tasks, must be accomplished well. ”

Zhao Tie thought for a while and said, "Does Xiaochen want to buy time, so that she can go back to the mining area to pick up her relatives?" ”

Lao Zhou didn't answer immediately, he focused on the map on the table, swiped his fingers on it, and said slowly: "I think it's okay." As it stands, in three or four days, the enemy is unlikely to make any moves due to the lack of troops. Take the person over, and she will be at ease. ”

Zhao Tie nodded and said, "This girl, don't say it, I'm still anxious." Let's just talk about today's operation, although it has achieved a great victory, but it is very risky to intercept so many enemies by one person, and to dive into the glacier to attack closely. ”

"She even ran out of the stronghold and shot several enemies!" Lao Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I also told her when I set off that when I got outside, I could take our words as a deaf ear." ”

"Too bold." Zhao Tie paused, and did not hide his appreciation, "The brain is also really smart, and the judgment is really accurate." From the reaction of the enemy in the stronghold, you can guess the general actions of the enemy, and this squad leader, she is full of qualifications. ”

Lao Zhou smiled and said, "This girl is bold and murderous, which is a good thing and a bad thing." It's with a squad, and it's not a big problem. If you bring too many people, you will make a mistake. Leaving the team behind, and acting alone as a captain, I think it's inappropriate. ”

"This girl-" Zhao Tie scratched his head, feeling that it was really not a good evaluation.

The results of the battle were beyond doubt, but Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie did not know Shen Chen's full strength. So, in their opinion, the definition of risk-taking is yes.

Of course, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie still appreciated and liked Shen Chen in their hearts. I just felt that Shen Chen was a little too bold, worried that she would put her team in danger.
