Chapter 61: Victory and Return
Although there were only two attacks, the explosion and continuous shooting were quite amazing.
Chen Chen became more and more accustomed to the shoulder-to-shoulder shooting of the box cannon, and his speed shot at close range was getting closer and closer.
Within a distance of several dozen meters, as a powerful pistol, the lethality of the box cannon is still very considerable.
There were not many enemies left, but were attacked by a sneak attack and violent attack. In an instant, there were heavy casualties and completely collapsed. Only two remaining imperial troops fled in panic and crawled into the woods.
At this point, the battle was completely over, and there was only a messy battlefield, presenting in front of Shen Chen and Yu Baogen.
Chen Chen approached with caution, and Yu Baogen quickly followed and put the bayonet on the gun.
The tent has been completely overturned, and the reason for the explosion is that the enemy inside escaped in panic.
A Japanese wounded man was not dead yet. He was struggling to climb on the ground with a mustache, trying to catch a spear that was not far away.
When he reached out to grab the gun, the gun had been stepped on with one foot.
The Japanese raised their heads and saw Chen Chen's cold gaze. Yu Baogen also followed, stabbed the Japanese with a bayonet, and the tip of the knife even stabbed into his flesh, and blood oozed out.
Seeing that there was no hope of resistance or escape, the Japanese lowered their heads, turned them up, looked up, and their eyes flashed with terror and hatred.
"Damn it, I dare to glare at someone, I will dig your eyes in a while." Yu Baogen gestured on the Japanese face with a bayonet.
Chen Chen suddenly reached out from behind and pushed the butt stock. Yu Baogen was not wary of it, and the bayonet pierced into the Japanese's eyes with a thud.
Without bones, the bayonet went straight into the head, and the Japanese died without even humming.
Yu Baogen was startled and hurriedly pulled out the bayonet and went to see Chen Chen again. Chen Chen walked away as if nothing had happened, leaving only a back for him.
He swallowed hard, Yu Baogen opened his mouth, but still said nothing, and accelerated two more steps to keep up with Chen Chen.
Chen Chen has no such concept of treating prisoners preferentially. Can the Japanese who deserve to die in this crime still have to save their lives, cure their injuries, and let him waste food?
Except for two seriously injured and one slightly injured Imperial Army, there were no more living enemies. Chen Chen felt that there was no danger anymore, so he asked Yu Baogen to signal and let his team cross the bridge to meet.
Just when Yu Baogen ran to contact, Chen Chen killed two seriously injured prisoners. It was a burden and wasted waste of medicine, food, and manpower. Chen Chen felt that killing one more enemy was saving limited resources.
When Cao Xiaobao led his team members to come, the remaining tasks were the only prisoner who was guarding and cleaning the battlefield.
When I got to the enemy's body, I found a depression and threw it in it and covered it with snow. It was all done. It was frozen in the sky and the earth. Who has the strength to dig the pit?
The mule tied to the tree was led over, put on the car, loaded with seized weapons, ammunition and other supplies. More than a dozen people embarked on the way back to Chencun with joy and excitement.
After Chen Chen arranged the marching queue, he reminded the vanguards to be alert, so he got into the mule cart. Cao Xiaobao thoughtfully lit the charcoal brazier and put it in.
Leaning on the pile of clothes that were taken off, Chen Chen felt really tired. The smell of blood on the jumpsuit didn't feel so pungent, he just wanted to rest with his eyes closed so warmly.
The prisoner's confession was initially asked, and Zuwang's stronghold was indeed only a few dozen imperial army left. The Japanese consultant had been sniped by Chen Chen, and no one was urging and coerced, so the imperial army would not have the desire to take the initiative.
In other words, Chen Village and surrounding villages are temporarily safe.
As for Zu Wang, as long as the enemy does not come out in full force, Chen Chen feels that there is no possibility of attacking. And Chen Chen also feels that there is no threat to a stronghold that has lost its ability to take the initiative to attack.
The next step of action may still be around Zuwang, but it is the surrounding villages of the stronghold, so that the enemy can not be obtained on the spot and strive to squeeze out the enemy.
Chen Chen closed his eyes and thought about it, he felt a little drowsy. But he still had a little rationality and tried his best to think about other things and waited to return to Chencun before resting.
The team went all the way, but there was no trouble
Trouble. The escaped Imperial Army did not dare to meet again, and did not know where they had gone.
When he was still some distance from Chen Village, the vanguard met and contacted the guard posts set up by Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie. At this moment, Chen Chen felt a sense of relief, and his barely suppressed sleepiness came up violently.
Although using landmines and familiar with the advantages of terrain, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie led their teams to successfully harass and attack the enemy, exhausting the enemy and having to retreat in disgrace.
But the harassment still paid a price, two team members were injured and one team member died. In the eyes of Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie, they did not have the ability to continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle.
Therefore, they just followed the enemy from afar for a while, and led the team back and sent out early warning posts to guard against the enemy's retaliation.
Based on this consideration, the guerrillas entered Chen Village for a temporary rest, but were still nervous and did not think it was absolutely safe.
When the sentry rushed back to report, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie didn't know the details, but only knew that Chen Chen's team had won the battle and was captured.
When they thought about it, they thought it was Chen Chen's team who attacked other enemies, but they did not expect that the enemy they sent away had been wiped out.
Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie took a few team members out of the village, and soon a group of people came into sight.
"Mule cart?" Zhao Tie's eyes were nice. He saw something familiar first, but he was not sure.
After a while, Lao Zhou also noticed it, turned his head to look at Zhao Tie in surprise, and said, "It looks familiar, it's not that enemy, right?"
At this time, Zhao Tie was already paying attention to something else. He narrowed his eyes and carefully looked for the figure who was dressed in a more alternative and familiar manner.
"Where is Xiaochen?" Zhao Tie asked in confusion: "In the car? It doesn't look like her style?"
Chen Chen has always been charging forward, whether it is serving as a vanguard or fighting. When he did this, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also understood that they were worried that the team members were of low quality, fearing that they would cause accidental casualties or misleading things.
Lao Zhou also searched hard, shook his head slowly and said, "It should be in the car, right? Let's welcome it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tie had already taken big steps forward. He was a little worried, worried that Chen 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 are back." Cao Xiaobao took a few steps and greeted Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.
When Zhao Tie saw Cao Xiaobao's smile, he felt more at ease. He smiled and nodded and asked, "Where is your captain?"
Cao Xiaobao turned around and pointed, saying, "The captain is exhausted, so he is resting in the car!" He paused for a moment, and added, "I fought several battles in a row, ran dozens of miles, and wade through the water and crossed the ice river, but it was too hard."
Zhao Tie was getting closer and saw that the mule cart looked more familiar, and he couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get this car from? Where did you meet the enemy?"
Cao Xiaobao waved his hand and signaled the team members to drive the mule cart to leave first before he spoke and explained to Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou.
"I really came to Chencun and stubbornly tangled with us for a long time." Old Zhou understood and said, "There are several Japanese soldiers in there, and there are more than a dozen Imperial Army!"
Cao Xiaobao nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I took seven or eight sets of Japanese clothes alone, and the Imperial Army seemed to have run away two or three. Well, I heard Yu Baogen say."
"Is it all for you to destroy?" Zhao Tie asked in disbelief, "You tell me what happened today."
After entering the village, Cao Xiaobao only made a rough statement, and Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou understood it all.
"This girl—" Old Zhou let out a long breath, pointed his finger, and smiled: "Hurry and ask someone to take her to rest. I am so sleepy that I can't walk."
Not far ahead, Shen Chen was woken up, jumped out of the stopped mule cart, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked staggering towards the room next to him with the lights on.
No one else was needed, Chang Chunling had already appeared, holding Shen Chen, and speaking, leading him to his original residence.
If you talk about Chang Chunling, she is really busy. Who made her a guerrilla?
The only medical staff! When she heard that Shen Chen's team was back, she rushed over to see if there were any wounded people who needed care.
Zhao Tie pursed his lips and smiled and watched Shen Chen and Chang Chunling walk away before walking to the mule cart. He watched the team members happily move down and seize it.
There are nearly twenty guns alone, and several 38 large caps are particularly conspicuous. Although the Imperial Army also has a small number of matching, the new and old levels are clear at a glance.
"No one of the Japanese ran away." Old Zhou reached out and picked up a gun, stroked it, and sighed: "Now we can have a stable sleep."
Zhao Tie nodded and said, "Let's examine the prisoners first and make the situation clear. If the Zuwang stronghold has no more enemies, even if we cannot conquer, we can turn to expand other villages."
Old Zhou Shen agreed and waved his hand to the two team members and asked them to escort the prisoners over.
Shen Chen was still confused and was led back to his original residence by Chang Chunling. Although the Japanese entered the village, they did not have time to destroy it. The house had been cleaned up by Chang Chunling, and there was no change in it.
"Sleep, sleep." Shen Chen muttered, sat on the edge of the kang and fell backwards.
Chang Chunling hurriedly supported her and coaxed her and said, "Take off your clothes and get into the bed to sleep comfortably. Come on, I'll help you."
Shen Chen also took action, Chang Chunling also helped, took off her clothes, shoes and socks, and got into the quilt, and the warm kang was baked. He hummed a few times with comfort.
Chang Chunling carefully tucked the quilt for Shen Chen, but did not go to bed immediately. Instead, she took Shen Chen's clothes and put them on the kang and baked them. After cleaning up, Chang Chunling went on the kang to blow out the oil lamp and started to rest.
At this time, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie had almost interrogated. As soon as they learned about the situation of Zuwang's stronghold, both of them felt relieved.
If there were no more troops, Zuwang's enemy would have lost the ability to take the initiative to attack.
Dozens of Imperial Army troops can only be huddled in the turtle shell to defend, or operate in a small area around them, which greatly reduces the threat to Chencun and other places on the river.
The captives were taken down, and only Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie were left in the house.
After pondering, Old Zhou slowly spoke: "It seems that we need to re-form a plan and change the struggle strategy."
Zhao Tie did not think about it. Although the situation had changed, the overall strength of the guerrillas was still weak. They could neither attack the stronghold nor try to fight against 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 and train, and fight against the enemy, you can only carry out small-scale harassment attacks. In addition, more mines should be built and more mine wars should be carried out."
Lao Zhou nodded and said, "As the guerrillas, of course, they must focus on guerrillas. Zuwang stronghold, we do not have enough power to attack and cannot suffer losses. Landmines are a good thing. This time, they can force the enemy to retreat, which will have an effect."
After pausing, Lao Zhou continued: "No matter what, after continuous combat, we have gained a buffer time. Therefore, on the one hand, we must enrich our strength, and on the other hand, we must also disturb the enemy. These two goals, or tasks, must be completed 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 relatives?"
Lao Zhou did not answer immediately, betting on the map on the desktop, and his fingers were stroking on it, and slowly said, "I think it's OK. As for the current situation, in three or four days, due to insufficient troops, the enemy is unlikely to take any action. She will feel at ease when she takes the person over."
Zhao Tie nodded and said, "This girl, I'm still anxious if I don't say it. Let's talk about today's action. Although I won a great victory, I'm just blocking so many enemies by myself and traversing the glacier and stumbled into the near-strike. No matter how you look at it, it's very risky."
"She also ran outside the stronghold and shot several enemies!" Old Zhou shook his head with a wry smile, "When he left, he told her that when he was outside, he could take our words as a warning."
"I'm too brave." Zhao Tie paused, but he didn't hide his praise. "I have a real brain and a very accurate judgment. From the reactions of the enemy at the stronghold, you can guess the enemy's approximate actions. This team leader, she is full of people.
Qualified."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "This girl is brave and murderous. It is a good thing and a bad thing. This is a small team, and the problem is not big. If she brings too many people, it will be a mistake. I think it is inappropriate to leave the team and act alone, as the captain, but he acts alone."
"This girl--" Zhao Tie scratched his head, feeling that it was really bad to comment.
The results of the battle are beyond doubt, but Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie are not sure about Shen Chen's full strength. Therefore, in their opinion, the definition of adventure is certain.
Of course, Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie still admired and liked Shen Chen in their hearts. They just felt that Shen Chen was a little too bold and worried that she would bring her team into danger.
Chapter completed!
