Chapter 48 The reason for the defeat

At dawn the next day, Shang Zhen, Qian Chuan'er, Er Hanzi, Hou Kanshan, and Chen Hanwen set off towards Jinzhou again.

When we arrived, there were only five people left in the battalion when we returned. The huge contrast made them all look a little downcast.

This dejection was not just caused by the visual contrast in the number of people. In fact, the five of them were indeed depressed.

Through Qian Chuan'er's story last night, Shang Zhen, Hou Kanshan and Chen Hanwen figured out why they lost the battle that day.

Originally, after the four tanks coming from the direction of Jinzhou rushed over, the battlefield situation was indeed very good.

But at that moment, several more tanks came from behind the Japanese army.

Not only did those tanks look like they belonged to the Northeastern Army. They also saw those tanks crushing some puppet troops who were unable to escape. So of course everyone on their side had reason to think that they belonged to the Northeast Army.

Tank car!

But when the tanks traveling in two directions were approaching each other, an accident happened. The tank on the opposite side suddenly shelled the four tanks on their side!

They were not on guard at all, and soon the tanks coming from the opposite side destroyed all the tanks on their side.

By the time the Northeastern Army suddenly realized that those tanks should be the tanks of the Northeastern Army that had been captured by the Japanese, it was too late when they pretended to be the Northeastern Army again.

The tanks absolutely crushed the infantry, and then the Japanese suddenly appeared again.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and their Northeast Army was defeated like a mountain!

As for what happened next, there is no need to talk about it. Shang Zhen and the five of them became the last survivors of their camp.

Of course, there should be other survivors among the Northeastern Army participating in the war, including their battalion, but the five of them did not encounter them.

Although Shang Zhen and the others were dejected, they all walked very quickly.

Because they must rush to Jinzhou City as soon as possible to join the large army.

Japanese pirates are like wolves and tigers, and only when they find a large army can they rely on them. This is what the scholar Chen Hanwen said.

Shang Zhen didn't know why Chen Hanwen called the Japanese soldiers Japanese pirates. He was too lazy to ask and didn't have the energy to ask.

The place where they fought the Japanese army yesterday was more than a hundred miles away from Jinzhou City. Their current speed could not be called a forced march, it would have to be considered a forced march. Shang Zhen's physical strength was undoubtedly the worst.

Since they had escaped the Japanese pursuit yesterday, in order to increase their marching speed, it was impossible to walk through the woods again.

Shang Zhen ran out of breath along the way, but he could barely keep up with the four people in front of him.

However, they had walked for nearly four hours yesterday, and today they were marching in a hurry. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally recognized the road and were close to Jinzhou City.

Since the Japanese army was besieging Jinzhou City, they did not dare to take the main road this time. As long as they went southwest, they would walk up or directly across the fields.

And just as they were walking through a forest, Qian Chuan'er, who was walking at the front, stopped, "There's someone in front of me!" he said.

Since there was someone in front of them, no one could tell if it was the Japanese soldiers. The five people suddenly became nervous and did not bother to wipe the sweat from their faces. They all hid behind the tree and looked ahead.

After watching for a moment, they exchanged glances and Qian Chuan'er said, "It doesn't seem like they are Japanese."

"They are not wearing yellow clothes." Shang Zhen also said.

"Do you think your eyes are telescopes?" Hou Kanshan said to Shang Zhen.

Shang Zhen did not answer the call.

Hou Kanshan has not been very friendly towards Shang Zhen since yesterday.

In Shang Zhen's understanding, it may be that the third brother Li Fushun used to take care of Hou Kanshan when he was alive, but now that the third brother is gone, Hou Kanshan feels that he, as a new recruit, has no one to rely on.

In addition, when he was a sentry again, he teased Hou Kanshan and asked him to smell his urine. It seemed that Hou Kanshan was petty and already held a grudge.

The world is in a hot and cold environment, and it is human nature to leave the tea to cool down. Shang Zhen knew that he was just a new soldier, so he chose to endure it.

However, Qian Chuan'er always wanted to protect Shang Zhen, so Hou Kanshan couldn't explain it in depth, so he could only try to criticize Shang Zhen with words.

"Let's go, I have to go and have a look." Qian Chuan'er said and walked forward. At the same time, he pulled out his box cannon and put it on fire.

And Shang Zhen also pulled the bolt of his flower machine.

But after this, Hou Kanshan spoke again: "You're so nervous, be careful of going off the rails!"

Shang Zhen frowned and ignored Hou Kanshan.

At this time, Chen Hanwen also said from the side: "The monkey's words are unpleasant, but this is the truth."

Shang Zhen was still speechless, but he did not turn off the safety of the gun. He just pointed the muzzle of the gun toward the ground and took his hand off the trigger.

After that, the few people stopped talking and walked quickly, and chased forward as lightly as possible.

When they got closer to the people in front of them, Qian Chuan'er muttered in a low voice, "They are really not Japanese." As he spoke, he turned to look at Shang Zhen but ignored Hou Kanshan.

The relationship between people is naturally delicate, but Qian Chuan'er used these small actions to express his support for Shang Zhen.

From Qian Chuan'er's point of view, who do you think you are, Hou Kanshan? It's me, Shang Zhen and Er Jiazi who are blocking the Japanese army from behind. You just got a ready advantage!

Although Qian Chuan'er is not old, he has been in the army for two years.

He would not say anything out loud, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that Hou Kanshan might become a deserter at the critical moment, so there was no way he could be expected to fight alongside him!

But when Qian Chuan'er looked at Shang Zhen, he found that Shang Zhen had already carried his flower trap on his back.

It seems that Shang Zhen's eyesight is very good! With the money on the string, Shang Zhen has already said: "He is a student."

Hou Kanshan snorted, and when he was about to speak, Chen Hanwen pulled him beside him.

Chen Hanwen naturally did not want Shang Zhen and Hou Kanshan to get into trouble.

The five people were speechless. When they quickly approached the people in front, they saw clearly that there were seven people in front of them. They were really students, and there were both men and women.

Shang Zhen and the others also encountered students when they were stationed outside Jinzhou City.

Most of those students are college students from Fengtian or cities further north.

The Japanese army has occupied most of the big cities in Northeast China. As the pioneers of the times, college students naturally refused to become slaves of the country's subjugation, so a wave of students fled into the country.

If you want to enter Guannai, Jinzhou is the place you must pass through. The students' choice is to walk to Jinzhou and then get on the train to Guannai.

There is no doubt that the same is true for the seven students in front.

"Cough", students are students after all, and they are completely unaware of the sounds behind them. In desperation, Qian Chuan'er could only fake a cough on purpose.
