The War of Resistance

Bear! What a fucking bear!

When Shang Zhen was standing on the big tree and hiding in the swaying leaves, he cursed himself fiercely when he saw the Japanese cavalry appearing diagonally below him.

Northeastern people are used to calling a coward a bear, and now Shang Zhen has realized that he is a real bear!

What he meant by "bear" was not that he was afraid of death and dared not fight the Japanese army, but that his current physical condition was really bear-like!

If it were the original situation, would climbing a tree be a big deal for him?

It turned out that he could run up the steep wall and finally climb to the top of the four or five meter high wall.

Then doesn't the trunk of the big tree under his feet now look like a wall?

However, due to his current physical condition, he couldn't run any faster, so he could only climb up.

Now let's talk about climbing. It turns out that when he climbed up, he just had to jump up and hold onto a spot with his hands, and then use the momentum to flip over to the branch in a flash.

But this time, he had to hold on to the big branches with his hands and push the trunk with his feet to climb up!

This is really too slow!

Fortunately, this solitary tree was thick enough, and its trunk blocked the sight of the Japanese cavalrymen, allowing him to hide in the tree canopy.

Otherwise, Shang Zhen would have no choice but to use a gun.

While Shang Zhen was thinking, the Japanese cavalrymen were getting closer and closer. From Shang Zhen's perspective, he could clearly see the tops of their heads.

Shang Zhen began to relax his breathing, holding a branch in one hand and a box gun in the other, while the Type 38 rifle was slung across his back.

At this point, Shang Zhen could no longer observe the Japanese troops.

He could only look at the swaying green leaves under his feet.

Before climbing the tree, Shang Zhen had already observed from below. As long as he climbed high enough, the people below would not be able to discover him when looking up. It was summer, and the poplar tree was thick and big enough, so there were naturally many leaves.

However, the premise is that there is no wind.

If the wind blows the leaves and the Japanese soldiers below happen to look up, they might be able to see him.

Now the only thing Shang Zhen could do was to watch his feet and hold the gun tightly. If he was discovered by the Japanese army, he would have to strike first.

Shang Zhen heard the sound of the Japanese cavalry's horses' hooves approaching the tree, but who would have thought that they would stop there, and he couldn't move the branches to look down.

The reason is very simple. Neither party is blind. If he can see the other person, the other person can definitely see him.

This is a gamble on character and a gamble on life!

Who dares to say that he is invincible on the battlefield? In the end, what determines life and death is not only ability but also luck!

Shang Zhen heard the Japanese soldiers talking under the tree, but he didn't know what they were saying. But after a while he smelled a hint of smoke.

Are the Japanese coming here to take a break under this tree and smoke a cigarette?

But Shang Zhen would never let his guard down because of his own speculation.

Shang Zhen, a veteran of many battles, had never experienced such a situation before. Fighting was not just about killing the enemy in a passionate way. Sometimes this kind of forbearance required the courage to disregard life and death.

Fortunately, after Shang Zhen suffered a serious injury, his physical condition deteriorated but his mental quality became stronger.

He was breathing steadily on this tree. Even when wind blew in the distance, making the leaves around him rustle, he saw the top of a Japanese soldier's head again through the gap between the trees created by the wind under his feet. He was still leaning on the trunk and swaying slightly with the tree, but he did not take any action.

What does it mean that a moment is eternity? What does it mean that time is a human illusion? For the Japanese soldiers under the tree, they only smoked a cigarette, but for Shang Zhen, this cigarette seemed to last half a century.

Finally, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the Japanese soldiers urged their horses forward again. Only then did Shang Zhen feel a sense of relief.

Seeing that the Japanese army was going far away, Shang Zhen slipped down from the tree and fled into the distance again.

However, in the following process, he found that the number of Japanese cavalry did not decrease. There were always Japanese cavalry appearing in the distance and galloping past him at a distance or near him.

Thanks to his sharp ears and eyes, he dodged in time and was not discovered by the Japanese army. When he finally appeared in the fields and saw the village again, he suddenly found that the rifle in his hand had become a "chicken rib" that was a pity to throw away and tasteless to eat.

The reason is that the terrain here is vast and there are very few trees. The crops are either wheat or sweet potatoes, and neither of these two crops grows tall. People squatting in the fields can be discovered, so there are more and more ordinary people in the fields.

Then the rifle in his hand became dazzling.

Should he turn around and go back? No! Because he had just dodged several Japanese soldiers and there were Japanese cavalry behind him, he couldn't go back!

Suddenly, the sound of people talking was heard not far away, and Shang Zhen instinctively let go of the rifle in his hand and threw it to the ground!

I'm not kidding. God knows how surprised the common people would be when they saw him holding a rifle. Who can guarantee that he would reveal his whereabouts if he met a "good citizen of the Imperial Japanese Army"?

Shang Zhen quickly stood up again and began to untie his belt, then turned his back to the old man and pretended to urinate.

"Damn it, I'm so unlucky that not only can I not drink water, but the urine I pee is all yellow." Shang Zhen muttered.

When he finished peeing, tied his belt and turned around to walk forward, he saw that the old man who was about a few dozen meters away from him had turned around.

What are you looking at? Shang Zhen thought, they say that good things should be kept within the family, but your family is taking advantage! He felt a little embarrassed.

However, Shang Zhen soon realized that he felt relieved by throwing away the rifle.

Now that there are ordinary people here, as long as I throw away my gun, I will have a bag on me and no one can tell that it contains a gun. Then, as long as I blend in with the ordinary people, I will be indistinguishable from the crowd, which will help me escape.

Shang Zhen really didn't believe it. If the Japanese army wanted to catch him, they would make a big noise. They could also arrest every civilian they saw. Anyway, the Japanese army had never seen his true face.

It is absolutely not wrong to say that Shang Zhen was wrong to think so. As he walked towards the village, naturally some villagers saw him, and he even walked past them, but who would pay attention to him?

But when Shang Zhen was only a hundred meters away from the village in front, he suddenly heard the dull sound of horse hooves coming from behind him again.

He looked back and first saw dozens of Japanese cavalrymen galloping towards him, and then several horse-drawn carriages appeared behind them.

Along the way, Shang Zhen saw a horse-drawn carriage. How could ordinary people have a horse-drawn carriage? That carriage could only belong to the Japanese soldiers.

Shang Zhen frowned, stopped walking along the path in the field and hurried to the side.

But he had only walked a short distance when he heard a gunshot from the village ahead. Then the village became noisy. Soon Shang Zhen saw some people running out of the village, shouting, "The Japanese are coming into the village to arrest people!"

What was going on? Could the Japanese have calculated this? How did they know to come here and catch me?

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is what you should do!
