The Escaped

More than a dozen Japanese cavalry rode their horses past the road ahead, and the soldiers who were with Shang Zhen lowered their heads and held their breath.

Soldiers actually have this characteristic. If they make up their minds and refuse to surrender and become puppet troops, then they will be killed by charging on the battlefield, or shooting against the enemy, and then they will die if they die. That will be a matter of a moment.

But when there is hope for life, people will become worried about gains and losses.

They watched the Japanese cavalry running past the road ahead with great power. Although some people were so angry that they felt itchy, some people held their breath nervously.

And when they saw the Japanese cavalry team running, they had not forgotten to take a look at Shang Zhen who was next to them.

Undoubtedly, Shang Zhen has now become their backbone.

And when they saw Shang Zhen calm as usual, they felt a little relieved.

But just as the Japanese cavalry team ran over, Shang Zhen said, "You can't stay in this forest anymore, hurry up and find a safe place."

Shang Zhen's words were naturally correct, so under Shang Zhen's leadership, they retreated into the woods.

"Brother Shang, where are we going?" Fang Yong asked.

Shang Zhen didn't say anything again. Fang Yong was a little used to Shang Zhen's taciturnness and did not ask again.

But he didn't know that Shang Zhen was sighing in his heart at this time that the woods were too small, and now they could see the brightness in front of them. How great would it be if this was the old forest in the Northeast!

The old forest in the northeast is the original forest in the northeast, otherwise why should I call it the old forest?

The old forest in the northeast is like a vast ocean. If people hide in it, no matter how many Japanese devils go in, it will be like sesame salt sprinkled on the big sesame cake. Not to mention finding more than ten people, it will be too difficult to find 180 people!

But this forest looks like a small river, it is too small. If you rush down from this bank of the river, it will be enough to hold your breath, but the hand in front has already touched the other side. How can you hide people?

Yes, Shang Zhen knew that it would not work if they didn't hide it.

These soldiers were already in poor physical strength and had three wounded soldiers. If they were running outside, they would soon be discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops.

But where should I hide it? There is really no good place!

This is a hilly area with ups and downs. Even if there are small hills, that mountain is not a very difficult mountain to climb.

Not to mention that people can get up easily, even if the Japanese cavalry rides up horses, they only need a few rises and falls to jump up, and then they can immediately observe the situation around hundreds of meters.

How about finding a local person as a guide to see if there is a hidden place? Let’s take it down. Due to the large-scale attack by the Japanese army, the common people have become refugees and the Japanese devils are chasing them all!

Shang Zhen is a person with a strong sense of crisis. If he does not have enough sense of crisis, he will not be able to survive until now even if he predicts danger.

But the current situation is that the enemy situation forces them to hide, but at least there is no ideal hiding place at present!

So, how do you ask him to answer Fang Yong’s question?

After leaving the woods, Shang Zhen ran and observed the surrounding terrain. What he saw was nothing more than hills, trees, fields, and ditches.

The terrain is not very safe anywhere.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but remember the new recruits when they first went to the battlefield. Because of their nervousness, they felt that they were not safe anywhere, so they could only hug the rifle and hide in the trenches and shivered.

"Why should we go up to that mountain?" Fang Yong suggested.

Shang Zhen glanced at the mountain Fang Yong pointed at and shook his head.

When it comes to mountains, they are all about "mountain". Now that mountains are all about "one", the mountains are not big.

Based on Shang Zhen's experience, it is estimated that the mountain is only sixty or seventy meters high, and the plants and trees on the mountain look quite lush. If you hide it there compared to other places around it, it means pulling a big one out of the slut.

"Why?" A soldier asked after following Shang Zhen's butt.

"Too obvious." Shang Zhen replied.

After Shang Zhen said this, some of the soldiers did not react, while others understood.

Compared to other places, it is indeed a good place to hide.

But it is precisely because it is a good place to hide, once the Japanese and puppet troops search, it will inevitably become the focus of the Japanese army's search.

Once discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops, it is inevitable that these people will die in battle. The difference is just the problem of dying early or late.

Since that place cannot be hidden, they can only continue running in the fields.

And when they ran past the mountain before, some soldiers still looked at the mountain nostalgic.

But at this moment, the soldiers who were looking back and watching shouted: "Those Japanese cavalry are back!"

The woods where Shang Zhen and the others hid were hiding in the roadside did not cover a large area. When they ran here, the woods naturally could not cover the road.

Shang Zhen glanced back and saw that a Japanese army drove down the road!

It was broken, Shang Zhen thought to himself.

Previously, Shang Zhen fought a war with the puppet army in order to save Fang Yong and others.

After the battle, they ran north along the road. The direction the Japanese cavalry rushed to was exactly the direction where the gunshots were fired. Now the Japanese cavalry not only rushed back but also went down the road, which caused Shang Zhen's association.

"If we occupy this hill, at least on the terrain-" Fang Yong suggested again.

Fang Yong's meaning is very obvious, that is, they cannot escape the Japanese cavalry, so now they can only defend on the mountain.

"There is a village ahead!" At this time, they had already bypassed the hill and another soldier suddenly said.

When Shang Zhen looked forward again, he just glanced at him and said loudly: "Go there quickly!"

The village was two hundred meters away, and Shang Zhen just took a look and confirmed that the village was burned by Japanese and puppet troops.

This reminded him of the incident when he had previously been hiding in the burning house.

Shang Zhen actually understood that even hiding in that village may not be safe.

But if compared with this hill, there is always a little more hope, because if the Japanese army really starts searching, then they will definitely fight against the Japanese army when they hide on this hill!

Everyone ran wildly again, but this time Shang Zhen took the initiative to stay behind.

Although he had only had little contact with these friendly forces who were unknown to know which part of them, Shang Zhen really didn't want to run away alone.

Not to mention, the wounded soldiers who refused to give up were all sentient beings and righteous people. Even if people say nothing, they did not surrender. Shang Zhen also felt that they were real anti-Japanese warriors.

When it comes to anti-Japanese war, it sounds nice. Only by life and death can we test who is the true backbone of the nation!

Everyone ran very fast, and the imminent survival crisis made the three minor wounded temporarily forget the pain on their bodies, but the problem was that the Japanese cavalry ran faster!

"No, we can't escape theirs!" A soldier said while panting.

"It's time to run!" Shang Zhen, who kept looking back and watching, said anxiously.

The reason why Shang Zhen said this was because he found that at least the Japanese cavalry had not discovered them at the moment, and were heading for the small woods where they had previously been hiding.

When the Japanese cavalry came to the woods, they would definitely not find anything, so they would follow the "path" they had just ran to the hill, and the hill could block the view for Shang Zhen and others!

Therefore, although time is not rich, it is not as short as the soldier thought.

For the sake of that glimmer of life, everyone ran to death. The Japanese army's tall horses ran like the wind, but Shang Zhen and others also ran away, and the wind whimpered in their ears.

When Shang Zhen and the others finally ran to the village that had been burned and hid behind the ruins, there were no gunfire behind them.

But as soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw a Japanese cavalry coming from behind the hill, and they saw that the direction they were heading for their village this time!
