Although the sun rose, it did not bring much warmth.

On such a cold morning, the guerrillas quietly drove out of Zhuangzi and marched towards Chen Village.

After a good meal last night, half of the two chickens I bought were dried up by Shen Chenlian soup and meat, and the other half was shared by Wei Chun'er's family and Chang Chunling.

Now, Shen Chen felt that he had enough energy, and there were still more than a dozen boiled eggs in his backpack, which Wei Chun'er had cooked early and packed for him, which should still be hot.

According to his request, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie arranged for him Yu Baogen to be his personal bodyguard. It is not exact to say that it is a bodyguard, it should be a guide and helper.

Yu Baogen carried his own big gun and a barge gun with a wooden box, which gave Shen Chen the ability to kill at long, medium and close ranges.

As top soldiers, Shen Chen and Yu Baogen walked in front of the team, with a distance of more than a mile. While moving forward, Shen Chen observed the situation and raised his binoculars from time to time to look.

There is nothing wrong with being careful, Shen Chen's caution is not only due to the situation, but also his own character characteristics.

And this time, it proved that his caution was correct. Just when he was still some distance away from Chen Village, standing on the mountain beam and looking out, he found that Chen Village was actually smoking.

It's not the smoke of a fire, it's like the smoke of a cookhouse for heating. Shen Chen raised his hand to signal Yu Baogen to stop advancing, and he observed the situation more closely.

Fifty or sixty Imperial Liaison Army, or Imperial Liaison Army, led by two Japanese advisers, were supervising and coercing the hundreds of people who had been captured to tear down houses and build artillery towers at the entrance of the village.

After being hit by Shen Chen, Erhuzi, and Yu Baogen, Zu Wang's enemies dispatched and retaliated in the vicinity.

But apart from catching some civilians who ran slowly, the attackers were not found, and it was not known where the attackers came from.

The enemy thinks Zuwang is very stable, but to radiate here, it seems that it is beyond the reach of the whip. With the river as a barrier, several wooden bridges are too fragile and thin.

Therefore, the Japanese advisers Jiro Iguchi and Eiji Sakamoto decided to build a stronghold in Chenchon and make it an outpost of Zuwang. And rely on this to sweep farther villages, plundering more people and supplies.

I have to say that the idea of the two devils is good and vicious. Once Chencun became the enemy's stronghold, it was only three or four hours away from Zhangzhuang, and it was possible to set out in the morning and arrive before noon.

And this is also the usual trick of the Japanese devils, first point and then line, and then expand into a surface, so as to achieve a more stable occupation and rule of a region.

It can be said that the guerrillas came out at a good time, and although they arrived at Chencun later than the enemy, the stronghold of Chencun had just begun to be built and was not yet secured.

After Shen Chen discovered the enemy's situation, he immediately asked Yu Baogen to return to report the news and asked the guerrillas not to advance further. He packed up his ropes, looked for concealment, and approached Chen Village to conduct close reconnaissance.

Success comes from many, and so do the prophets. Having the right information in advance is a prerequisite for victory, as Liu Tao in Sun Tzu's Art of War explains.

Although it is an accident that there are enemies stationed in Chen Village, you must always know how many enemies there are, what are the weapons and equipment, and what is the intention?

Obviously, the intelligence level of the guerrillas was really poor. Patronizing the training, the guard post is not far away, not to mention any eyeliner and long-distance reconnaissance.

Shen Chen touched the woods less than two miles away from Chen Village, carefully observed the enemy situation with a telescope, and estimated and calculated the number of enemies. Then, he went around to the other side of the village and continued to reconnoitre.

It was freezing cold, and the shovel could not dig the ground at all, so they could only use a pickaxe to dig hard, and the people were sweating and falling on the snow.

Scolding, whips, gun butts, leather shoes, even if you are tired to death, you have to continue to work, even if you wipe your sweat, you have to take advantage of the overseer's inattention, so you dare to wipe it a few times.

Shen Chen gritted his teeth and quietly retreated, first prostrately, then cat's waist, and only let go of his speed when he was far away, and left quickly.

The guerrillas stopped their advance, and more than four miles from Chen Village, rested and waited in the woods with the wind on their backs.

"I'm back." Zhao Tie didn't rest, just stayed at the edge of the woods and watched, and finally saw a familiar figure, his hanging heart fell, and he ran out of two steps and waved his hand vigorously.

Shen Chen saw it, ended his cautious march, hurried over, and entered the woods with Zhao Tie.

Not far from Chen Village, in order not to be exposed, the team members did not even light a fire. It's leeward, but it's still cold.

But the cold is not the main thing, and it is the anxiety and discomfort that hinders the way forward.

Therefore, as soon as Shen Chen came back, Lao Zhou, Zhao Tie, and the four squad leaders surrounded him, anxious to understand the situation.

Shen Chen took a few breaths, stabilized his breathing, and said slowly: "According to my reconnaissance, there are at most sixty or seventy enemies, and there may only be more than fifty, and they are all Imperial Army. Of course, it is not excluded that there are a few devils who hide in the house for warmth. ”

Lao Zhou didn't say anything, even if the number of enemies was small, most of them were the Imperial Army; However, the expanded guerrilla force was only more than 40 people, and the enemy who wanted to attack Chen Village was obviously not considered.

Zhao Tie was also unwilling, just these enemies, scared the guerrillas back?

"If it's an ambush, we can fight the Imperial Army." Zhao Tie pondered for a moment and said, "Just retreating like this and letting the enemy lay the nails is equivalent to our failure." ”

Lao Zhou raised his head and said, "If we can lure the enemy out, we will have a chance." It is impossible for the enemy to go out of the nest, and there must be people left to guard the village. If there are few who come out, we will fight hard; There are many outcomes, and we will think of other ways. ”

Shen Chen smiled evilly and said, "If you want to lure the enemy out, I can try it." It's just that I think we have to be prepared for both. In the first case, the enemy has a lot of sorties, and we can't touch them hard; In the second case, if the enemy is small, we will deal a fierce blow on a favorable battlefield, or even annihilate it completely. ”

After a pause, Shen Chen continued: "As for the first case, I don't think we should completely avoid the war, see if we can fight the idea of the enemy who stayed in the village, and rescue the captured people by the way." ”

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?!" Lao Zhou's eyes lit up and said, "Xiaochen, seeing your eyes rolling around, I know that you still have something to say." If you have any ideas, tell you quickly. ”

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Look at our team members, there are seven or eight people wearing the clothes of the Imperial Army, if you can fool the enemy, enter the village and make a surprise attack......

The guerrillas are very poor, and the common people are also poor, and the members of the team have what to wear to ensure that their bodies are warm and not freezing.

The last time I fought with the pursuing Imperial Cooperative Army near Zhangzhuang, the cotton coats, cotton hats, and cotton shoes of the dead Imperial Cooperative Army were all collected, and the blood stains and seams were washed, which was warmer than the tattered ones on many team members.

In fact, this is also normal, the dead devils on the battlefield are often naked, and the tweed coats are also worn on the anti-Japanese soldiers.

The trick of masquerade attack is easy to say, but difficult to do, but it is not as casual as in later generations or movies and television.

First of all, let's talk about the issue of props, the Imperial Allied Army is easier to handle.

Pretending to be a Japanese devil is troublesome, and no Japanese army can put together hundreds of sets of uniforms, steel helmets, guns, and even horses, machine guns, grenadiers, etc.

You can't carry Hanyang and pretend to be a Japanese devil, don't you stick your head over and find a beating!

In addition, it is necessary to have talents who can speak Japanese, who can speak Japanese fluently, and can adapt to changes, and have impeccable outfits.

Now, pretending to be a devil is definitely not good, and pretending to be an imperial army is a good way.

Zhao Tie laughed and said, "You girl, you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Lao Zhou, "A few miles away, the ravine we walked through is quite suitable for an ambush. If they can bring in the enemy, if they have few people, they will not be able to escape. As for the disguise, I personally led the team and was responsible for driving the enemy's rear road. ”

Lao Zhou understood what Zhao Tie meant, nodded, and said, "I'll take two squads to ambush there, and you take two squads to hide and standby." If the enemy is less sorted, let's try to ambush them; If there are many, we will be responsible for containing and attracting, and you will surprise Chen Village and rescue the masses. ”

"There are still some details, let's discuss, such as how to contact ......" Zhao Tie beckoned Shen Chen and a few team leaders, paddled around the snow, and began to discuss the details and assign tasks.

……………

When the time came to noon, the Imperial Allied Army escorted the masses together, and they ate in shifts.

The common people were in shabby clothes, shivering from the cold, and had no food to eat, squatting or sitting, which made them even more sad.

The waist was bent, the eye sockets were collapsed, the hair was like grass, and there were many frostbite on the bare arms and legs. When I look at it coldly, it looks like a lamp that has been boiled with oil, and I really don't know what kind of suffering they have suffered these days.

This is a group of people who have lost faith, both men and women, who are numb and will only do what the enemy tells them to do.

"Smack!" At the sound of gunshots, an Imperial Association soldier with a gun under surveillance stood up and fell straight down from a high place.

There was a commotion among the crowds, but no one dared to run, let alone know what was happening.

The other Imperial Cooperative Army were also stunned, and even the Imperial Cooperative Army officers who were eating in the house not far away didn't know that someone was coming to attack, and opened their mouths to scold: "I'm scared, I'm blind all day long, but I don't even have a rabbit." ”

As soon as his words fell, another gunshot rang out, and the people outside were noisy, shouting and shouting, and the gunshots that returned fire also rang out.

For the Imperial Army, Shen Chen has a huge psychological advantage and has a strong self-confidence.

He loaded the bullet, calmly aimed, and gently pulled the trigger, and an Imperial Concordant was half-lying on the ground, pushing his fallen companion next to him, and the shot hit him in the face, and he died without even screaming.

The enemy screamed, lying on the ground and firing guns indiscriminately, but for Shen Chen, who was more than three hundred meters away, it was not a threat at all. What's more, the enemy hadn't discovered his hiding place yet, and they didn't expect him to be so far away.

"Smack!" Another shot, a shooting Imperial Concordant was shot, and he fell with dead eyes open.

After firing three shots in a row, Shen Chen prostrate and moved his position. If the enemy doesn't come out to pursue and capture, he will be consumed with the enemy like this, and there will always be a time when the Imperial Association Army will show up!

Du Ronghe, an officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army, cautiously looked around. Based on the sound of gunfire, the approximate direction of the attackers could be determined. But he couldn't find the exact location.

Just as he was hesitating whether to go out of the village to pursue, there was already a fierce roar behind him, and Jiro Iguchi and Eiji Sakamoto rushed over, very angry at the panic and cowardice of the Imperial Army.

"Baga Yalu, don't be cowardly and afraid of death. Hurry, hurry, catch up and destroy the enemy. Sakamoto Eiji himself was not too exposed, but he waved the command knife at Du Ronghe.

"Get the × me and chase me." Du Ronghe was afraid of death, but he didn't dare to fart in front of the Japanese, and he felt that his subordinates had embarrassed him, so he yelled viciously: "When you catch the bastard who shoots the black gun, you will be rewarded." ”

Under the coercion and temptation, the Imperial Association army got up one after another, there were twenty or thirty people, shooting guns, shouting, running across the entrance of the village, and rushing in the direction where Shen Chen was hiding.

"Smack!" The killing machine roared again, and an Imperial Concordant army fell down with his stomach clutched, curled up in a ball and writhed in pain on the ground, letting out a rash scream.

The Imperial Association Army that rushed out was a little chaotic, and Shen Chen seized the opportunity to fire again. There is no need to kill with one hit, as long as the bullet hits the target, whether it is dead or wounded, it is a success.

"Smack!" The bullet entered the target's thigh before the enemy could hear the sound, and pierced through, hitting another enemy in the foot, and the two guys fell to the ground.

"Spread out, surround the past. There is only one guy, don't be afraid of him. Du Ronghe hid behind the team, lying on the ground and waving a pistol and howling.

The Imperial Concordant Army bent on his waist and pressed forward in a fan.

The gunfire continued, and from time to time bullets flew overhead with a screech.

Shen Chen began to retreat along the designed route, and the trees, stones, depressions, and snow bags along the road provided him with excellent shelter.

Of course, in addition to the necessary evasion to prevent the enemy's outflanking, that is to follow the temptation and constantly seize the opportunity to open fire. Destroy the enemy without causing him to chase in the wrong direction.

And every time he sniped, the reaction of the Imperial Allied Army was exactly what he wanted.

Because the Imperial Alliance has not yet encountered a terrible sniper, let alone undergone anti-sniper training, it is committing the most common mistake of a novice.

Of course, it's not just the Imperial Concord Army that makes this kind of mistake.

In 1944, when the Allies crossed the famous "fence" area of Normandy, France, they learned the power of snipers.

A German sniper armed with a G43 rifle could even suppress an infantry platoon. As soon as he fired the first bullet, the Allied marching column would immediately stop. Snipers can switch positions and continue shooting until they turn the whole team upside down.

An alliance officer once recalled: "The fatal mistake that recruits are most likely to make is to lie down on the spot and remain motionless when the enemy shoots coldly. At one point, I ordered my men to transfer to the next shift. On the way, one soldier was shot by a German sniper, and the whole team immediately fell to the ground. In the end, the soldiers of this squad were shot one by one by the same sniper. ”
