Chapter 33 The puppet army is all soft persimmons
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the fighting qualities of the Japanese devils, especially before the Pacific War, were much higher than those of the Chinese army, not to mention the guerrillas and militia.
However, because the Japanese army had insufficient troops, it wanted to "use China to control China", so it recruited and reorganized a large number of puppet troops, also known as the Imperial Cooperative Army.
The low combat effectiveness of the puppet army is an inevitable problem.
First of all, the puppet officers and soldiers themselves knew that it was the invaders who organized it to strike at the armies of their own compatriots. Therefore, they themselves are short of breath in the first place, and there is no moral advantage. Low morale is inevitable.
Since it is difficult to have a moral advantage, those who come to be a puppet army and are willing to fight, except for those villains who want to take advantage of the national disaster to soar, can only be those who come to ask for a bowl of rice for their livelihood.
The problem with these people is, of course, that they will not fight desperately. People come here to survive, and if they accidentally hang up, they will lose a lot.
At the same time, the equipment of the invading army must first be used to serve the country's * army, and the puppet army can only get second-rate equipment, and the hardware gap with the guerrillas or militia is not so great.
Moreover, the origin of the puppet army is similar to that of the guerrillas, both lack professional military training and lack of psychological preparation for "killing".
As a result, puppet armies usually lack the experience to carry out combat missions on their own, and even lack courage and determination.
Therefore, the puppet army is usually a place to hide filth and dirt. Military discipline is corrupt, and all kinds of evil are done, and the people are like wolves and tigers, and the enemy is terrified.
The problem of the puppet army is not only understood by the anti-Japanese forces, but also by the Japanese. But China is so big that it is impossible to rule entirely on its own.
You must know that during the war of aggression against China, Japan can be said to have attacked China with all its might.
However, the number of the "China Dispatch Army" was only 700,000 at its peak, while the occupied area had more than 1 million square kilometers, and the average of one square kilometer was less than a Japanese army.
So, there are certainly opportunities for the guerrillas and militias. Not only that, but in the vast majority of cases, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is very attractive to the rebels.
The puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War, everyone knows that there are many people who escape, those who fight back, and those who fornicate with the enemy.
For example, it is difficult for the Eighth Route Army to annihilate hundreds of Japanese troops in one campaign, but it can be five figures to eliminate the puppet army in one campaign.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the puppet army is a gift from heaven for the anti-Japanese forces.
In the eyes of many newly formed, inexperienced, and poorly equipped anti-Japanese teams, the puppet army is a soft persimmon, and it is a very good boxing hanging.
If you think about it, you can train your hands and improve the fighting quality and combat confidence of the new troops.
Moreover, only by fighting a war of annihilation can there be a lot of captures, and the puppet army is a competent transport brigade. When encountered, it is usually necessary to "greet" warmly.
This group of puppet soldiers is also unlucky and retribution, they originally wanted to loot and make a fortune; When I met Zhao Tie and them, there were a few broken guns at a glance, and there were many young women, so I became bold and chased them non-stop, wanting to have an unexpected gain.
But they never expected that what they were waiting for was not the harvest, but Shen Chen, the killing god.
According to the statistics of experts, in modern warfare, the ratio of casualties between those who have undergone rigorous military training and those who have not undergone it is 1 to 20.
That is, a qualified soldier can shoot twenty eggs of a recruit who has just picked up a gun; To be more precise, a veteran can withstand twenty rookies in battle.
And Shen Chen is not just a qualified soldier. In the face of the puppet army, as long as he keeps this kind of distance that you can't hit me, he even dares to deal with one or two hundred people.
Seeing that the puppet army was blocked near the road, suppressed by Zhao Tie and others, and those who tried to escape were also killed by Shen Chen, no one dared to show their heads again, Shen Chen felt that it was a bit of a waste to continue to stay here.
After a closer look, Shen Chen tried to ask Juzi behind him, "Juzi, can we go around, the big stone around the corner is blocked, and I can't see how many enemies there are behind." ”
That's right, the height of the place where Shen Chen is located is not enough, although the shooting boundary can well envelop all the enemies who turn over the boulder, but the situation behind the boulder is completely invisible.
Juzi looked out and said, "Go left, walk through this forest, walk along the mountain beam, and you can see." ”
Shen Chen nodded and said, "Then let's go around, you lead the way, maybe you can grab a gun!" ”
The desire for a gun made Juzi agree without even hesitating.
The two men stepped back some distance to allow the trees to provide better cover before stepping on the snow and running quickly west.
Although Juzi has little combat experience, she often collects firewood, digs wild vegetables, and picks mushrooms nearby, and is familiar with the terrain.
People in the mountains are also sharp in their legs and feet, and they know that if they step on places with a lot of dead trees and weeds, they will not get stuck in the snow and slow down their speed.
The bend of the road is not at right angles, and the two don't have to run a long way. After walking through the woods and on the ridge of the mountain, I saw the general situation on the other side of the boulder.
"Hey, these guys ran away?!" Kikuko held on to a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, with a thick white mist in her mouth, staring down with her eyes.
Shen Chen saw it, and his evaluation of the puppet army fell to the ground. The more than 20 puppet soldiers behind saw that there were dead people in the back, and they were so frightened that they retracted and did not dare to move forward.
After a while, they saw that it was almost dusk, and this group of death-fearing ghosts turned around and ran back under the leadership of a small officer, ignoring their companions in front of them.
Shen Chen narrowed his eyes and estimated the distance, a little far, and he was not completely sure.
"Is there a shortcut to go down?" Shen Chen opened his mouth and asked, "If you run faster, you can still leave a few after catching up." ”
Juzi thought for a moment, then ran forward, and said, "Come with me, I might be able to slip down there." ”
Shen Chen followed behind Juzi, ran for dozens of meters, and came to a small bare and quite steep hillside.
"I'll come first." Juzi also went out in order to grab the gun, screaming in her mouth, her feet didn't stop, she jumped forward, her butt was down, and she slid down the steep slope.
Don't need to find something to cushion your ass? Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, then watched Juzi lie up straight, and slipped down as a sleigh.
At first, it was relatively stable, but it slipped and slipped, and I didn't know what it touched, Juzi's body hit horizontally and rolled again.
Fortunately, although the slope is steep, it is not high, and after the chrysanthemum rolls over dozens of meters, it will reach the bottom of the slope. When she got up from the snow, Kikuko was covered with snow, and she didn't have time to clean it, so she reached out and beckoned to it.
Come on! Shen Chen gritted his teeth, and when he stepped forward, he also came to a flat sand goose style with his butt on the ground.
With Juzi walking in front, Shen Chen's gliding was much smoother, lying flat and slipping straight to the bottom. In the shallow snow, I slapped my ass a few times, but it was no big deal.
Shen Chen was pulled up from the ground by Juzi, calmed down, and ran onto the road and chased after the puppet army.
The fleeing puppet army was still driving two carts and leading a few cattle, and the speed was not very fast. Shen Chen took a shortcut again, and ran wildly, and the distance was close to more than three hundred meters.
Shen Chen estimated the distance while running, while looking for a suitable hiding place on the side of the road.
He felt that it was almost over, the enemy was outnumbered, and he still had a chrysanthemum, but he didn't dare to be too big and push too hard.
Seeing a few large stones standing jagged on the side of the road, Shen Chen jumped over the ditch and threw himself over.
Juzi snorted and panted, following behind Shen Chen, his physical strength was really good.
Shen Chen turned the butt of the rifle and poked between the stones, pushing the snow away, revealing several gaps.
Put the gun right, Shen Chen took a deep breath, a deep breath, a deep breath, quickly adjusted his physical state after exercise, and aimed at the figure in the distance.
A little farther away, Shen Chen aimed at the position of the figure's torso.
Because aiming at the waist position is the easiest to hit the target, as long as the upper and lower deviations are not too large, the probability of hitting the enemy is very high. At this distance, Shen Chen can't shoot his head, but just hit it.
His heartbeat stabilized a little, and his breathing became longer, Shen Chen seized the moment when his whole body was still and gently pulled the trigger.
Smack! Gunshots rang out, and a blood flower appeared from the back of a puppet soldier, and he fell to the ground with a scream.
The fleeing puppet soldiers were already frightened, and they were even more startled by the gunfire and screams.
The puppet army in front only turned around slightly, but did not see anything clearly, only heard the exclamation from behind, and thought that the enemy was catching up, so they turned their heads and increased their speed, and continued to run forward.
A few of the puppet soldiers behind looked back, paused, and hesitated whether to rescue their companions.
Smack! Another bullet flew quickly, and a puppet soldier looked down at his stomach, blood was gushing out, he wailed, knelt down first, and then fell to the ground holding his stomach.
Several puppet soldiers shouted in surprise, turned around and fled, just now they hesitated to rescue their companions, but now this idea was thrown out of the clouds, only caring about their own escape.
Smack! The bullet caught up with a puppet soldier and deflected a bit, passing through his body and punching a transparent bullet hole in his left shoulder.
After stumbling, the puppet soldier threw away the gun, reached out to cover the wound, and continued to run crying.
Smack! The rhythmic gunfire seems to be watching the stopwatch go off, running to the ground in the last puppet army. The guy was not dead for a moment, crawling forward crying, calling for his companions to turn around and help.
The puppet soldiers ran faster, and the screams and cries behind them frightened their courage, lest they would get the same fate if they delayed.
Shen Chen pressed the bullet unhurriedly, and fired two more shots at the figure of the puppet army. These two shots are better, and if they can't be hit, they will make these guys roll a little faster.
"Run, run." Juzi looked at it with a telescope, and couldn't hold back the anticipation and excitement in her heart, the gun was waiting for her a few hundred meters away!
Shen Chen kept the gun in a state where it could be fired at any time, and told Juzi, "Follow me, don't follow too closely, and roll into the ditch on the side of the road when you hear the movement." ”
Juzi was obedient and nodded again and again. Don't talk about this little thing, no matter how harsh the conditions are, for the gun that she has been thinking about for a long time, she will definitely agree.
Shen Chen took the binoculars and observed it, and felt that there was no danger, so he walked over with a gun and a vigilant posture.
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters, 30 meters......
Shen Chen walked unhurriedly, and the screams and wails of the puppet army gradually weakened, and finally turned into a dying moan.
The puppet soldier who was shot in the back was already lying on the ground, still maintaining the posture of crawling forward, and more than ten meters of blood were dragged out of the snow.
The puppet soldier who was shot in the stomach also swallowed his last breath, curled up, his eyes like dead fish, blood still flowing, and he was in a patch under him.
The last puppet soldier was not dead yet, his body was slightly sideways, his eyes were still moving, but he couldn't make a sound.
The surviving puppet soldiers had already run away, and when they looked at it from afar, they turned into palm-sized shadows.
The danger was completely removed, Shen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned to Juzi, and the two began to pick up guns and collect equipment and ammunition on the corpses of the puppet army.
What not to search the pocket, what to seize and return to the public, for Shen Chen, will not be rigidly followed.
The money was in his pocket, and he had a gold ring on his hand. Then there were bullets, Shen Chen first filled his bullet box, and there were more than a hundred bullets.
What kind of reward for killing the enemy, you have to ask for it from others when you hand it over, and it's so boring to be low-voiced. No one can control this convenient thing.
Kikuko's thirst for a gun made her fearless. Besides, people at that time were not very afraid of the dead, mainly because they saw a lot of them.
Picking one up and touching it, carrying it on her back, picking up another one, she was simply ecstatic and ecstatic.
"Put away all the seizures first, and there will be them later when they are rare." Shen Chen's hands and feet were sharp, and he also urged Juzi, "Those pair of woolen cotton shoes are good, take them off and take them back to try." ”
Juzi agreed, and began to search like Shen Chen. The belt was tied to the waist, the bullet belt was carried to the body, and the shoes were taken off, and the back was placed on the shoulders one after the other......
"Sister Da Mei, you can help me pick a good gun!" Kikuko picked up a cotton hat that wasn't too old, buttoned it on her head first, and was about to take it back to her father to wear.
Shen Chen searched for it almost, checked the half-new and not old 38 big cover that he picked up, handed it to Juzi, and said, "Don't look at it, it's not new, but it's the most suitable for you, a novice." With that, he brought the bullet to Kikuko again.
Ju Zi took off all the mess on her body, put the bullet belt and gun that Shen Chen gave her on her body, and carried those who were destined to be handed over casually.
Shen Chen continued to advance in front of the guard, and the two of them returned the same way one after the other.
The battle on Zhao Tie's side is finally coming to an end.
Although Shen Chen ran in pursuit, the suppressed puppet soldiers didn't know. The corpses strewn behind them made them dare not act rashly, so they worked as shrunken turtles in their respective hiding places, waiting for the team to come to the rescue.
Seeing that there is not much left of the puppet army, and it is honestly nesting, and there are very few guns outside. Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou ordered not to fight casually to save bullets.
At a distance of more than 100 meters, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou could still shoot the enemy, but it was not this kind of situation where they were hidden and only showed a little of their bodies.
Therefore, the two sides confronted each other like this, and no one dared to move.
When Shen Chen chased and killed the puppet army, and after shooting continuously, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou seized the opportunity, bluffed, and persuaded them to surrender.
