Chapter 181
The sky was getting dark and the visibility was decreasing. Shang Zhen and the others stretched their necks and looked down the mountain. At this time, they saw two figures running toward them vaguely a hundred meters away.
But at this time, the sound of gunshots was still heard.
If you can see traces of ballistics in complete darkness, they are the faint red lines produced by the flight of bullets.
However, the traces of bullet flight were extremely obvious at this time. Shang Zhen, who was no longer a military novice, knew that it was tracer bullets fired by the Japanese army.
Although he had only heard about tracer bullets from veterans like Mr. Wang, this was the first time he had seen them.
It turns out that this is how bullets fly in the sky.
Just like a meteor flying from a distance in the sky and arriving instantly, the trajectory you see is just the afterimage left behind when the bullet cuts through the air.
Why did the Japanese army fire tracer bullets?
Shang Zhen was thinking about it and then he realized it, because at this time more gunshots were heard. It turned out that the Japanese army was using tracer bullets to indicate the target, and the rest of the bullets followed the direction of the tracer bullets.
And the direction where all the bullets were pointing was exactly where those two vague figures were.
The Japanese army's marksmanship was so accurate. Shang Zhen and the others stretched their necks and stared at the mountain, but not a single bullet hit them on the mountain.
The running speed of the two people at the bottom of the mountain finally exceeded the speed of nightfall. In the end, the two people successfully ran to the bottom of the hill where Shang Zhen and the others were.
By this time, Shang Zhen could barely see clearly that the color of the clothes worn by these two men was exactly the gray color of the Northeast Army's military uniforms.
After the two people ran to the bottom of the mountain, they looked up at the top of the mountain. They did not find Shang Zhen and them, and then they ran diagonally inward.
Shang Zhen knew that they were trying to avoid the Japanese bullets, so they naturally ran to the back of the mountain.
But are there no Japanese troops behind the mountain? The answer is no.
In the process of chasing down the defeated troops, the Japanese troops barely reached the front line of the Great Wall. There were Japanese troops everywhere.
Shang Zhen and the others had heard gunshots coming from behind them, to the east. At that time, Mr. Wang even climbed over to take a look.
Shang Zhen watched the two people disappear from his sight. At this moment, he moved. He got up and ran towards the east.
Shang Zhen's actions were indeed somewhat beyond Du Man's expectations.
Animation turned his head and glanced at Shang Zhen's back, then turned his head back again. At this time, he saw the figure of the Japanese army.
"Tell everyone to stay hidden and keep an eye on this place." Du Man ordered, and he also shrank back.
When Du Man caught up with Shang Zhen, Shang Zhen was already lying on the eastern edge of the mountain top.
"Where is it?" Du Man asked.
"There!" Shang Zhen pointed his finger.
Du Man looked at the foot of the mountain, which had become a little hazy, and vaguely saw two people hiding behind the rocks at the foot of the mountain.
The two men who should be from the Northeast Army did not continue running eastward, just because there was fire in front of them.
The fire was at a low point, so it was definitely not a bonfire lit by the Chinese army. The Chinese troops were all on the high point along the Great Wall, so the fire could only be from the Japanese army.
The Japanese army had been chasing the defeated troops all day long. No one could figure out how the two Northeastern Army soldiers survived until now, but they would never run towards the fire.
"Qian Chuan'er, quickly bring us our rope!" Shang Zhen shouted.
At this time, Du Man, who was beside him, saw Shang Zhen raise his hand fiercely, throwing out a stone.
After a while, Du Man saw the smaller and smaller stone falling not far from the two people, and then he faintly heard the sound of "dang".
And just at that "dang", the two people suddenly fell to the ground. They were probably frightened by the rocks thrown by Shang Zhen. They should have thought that they were grenades thrown by the Japanese army!
Okay, at this moment, Shang Zhen threw the second small stone out.
This time, the two soldiers probably saw where the stone was coming from, so they turned around quickly, pointed their guns at this head, and raised their faces.
"Come up quickly!" Shang Zhen shouted.
Even though Du Man, as the commander of the reconnaissance company, had always been bold, he was frightened by Shang Zhen's shout.
"Little ancestor, please stop shouting, the Japanese are only seventy or eighty meters away from us!" Du Man said anxiously.
Why was Du Man anxious to follow Shang Zhen? On the one hand, he was really worried about the two soldiers who had escaped from the clutches of the Japanese army.
As for the Japanese army's pursuit of the defeated Northeast Army, it wasn't just Shang Zhen who wanted to reach out, Du Man and the others also didn't want to reach out. But the situation forced them to do nothing!
But now these two soldiers finally had a chance of survival. If they didn't save them, no matter what happened to Shang Zhen, even Du Man himself would feel guilty.
On the other hand, Du Man did not forget the responsibilities on his shoulders.
I am here to investigate. If this is exposed, it will be a small matter for people like myself to die, but it will be a big thing if the investigation task is not completed!
And how could Shang Zhen not know that the situation was critical at this time? He just risked shouting once and then stopped.
He was just taking advantage of the fact that night was approaching, so even if he yelled like this, the Japanese army might not be able to figure out where he was.
Unfortunately, the two people at the bottom of the mountain seemed to have heard Shang Zhen's shouts, and then they ran up the mountain.
The two people were also being chased by the Japanese army. They first felt stones being thrown at them, and then heard shouts on the mountain. They knew that this might be their last chance to escape, and at this time they could only
Take a gamble!
The slope of the hill was about sixty or seventy meters, and the two men climbed up panting. Finally, when they stood under the steep wall at the top of the hillside and looked up, they really saw Shang Zhen.
Full of expectant eyes and a hanging rope made of leggings.
Is there anything else to say at this time? Needless to say, there is no time to say it. The two people grabbed the rope and climbed up one after another.
God knows whether the rope made of leggings can withstand the weight of two people, but they really don't have time. They can't get on one by one, because the people above are already urging: "Hurry, the devils are coming."
!”
The one who spoke was Qian Chuan'er. Earlier, Shang Zhen and Du Man ran past the top of the mountain, and everyone was startled.
This time it was getting dark, so everyone was not afraid of exposing their target. Everyone had already started to monitor the surrounding situation.
The enemy has really appeared.
Because this time there were not only Japanese troops, but also puppet troops!
The Japanese and puppet troops circled around the foot of the mountain and headed towards the other side, while the two soldiers climbed up one after the other.
When the Japanese and puppet troops turned to the foot of the mountain and could see the top of the mountain, the soldier behind just climbed up with the rope and then lay down again!
The reason why they were able to climb up so quickly was naturally because the people above were pulling on the rope.
Chapter completed!
