Chapter 40 The Power of Intellectuals (Thanks to ‘Book Friends’ for the reward)
“beat!”

As Xu Chaoyang let out a hysterical roar, the sound of machine guns rang out in the distance. Two of the machine guns formed two angles that extended outward and covered the farthest range. Xu Chaoyang’s trench was within the angle.

Da da da da da!
Da da da da da!
It’s not that Yu Minghao and Liu Gen also understand the principle of “shooting from behind the wing”, but they can’t let the bullet hit Xu Chaoyang, right?

Xu Chaoyang took advantage of this period of time to raise his head, set up the Czech gun and started shooting at the Japanese who rushed up and lost their cover…

Thump, thump, thump, thump!
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Japanese scattered to both sides like the sea water after someone threw a water-repellent bead into the sea. At the same time, Xu Chaoyang held the edge of the trench with both hands and jumped out of the trench. Then he kicked his legs hard, turned around and ran while staggering.

He had to struggle to retreat up the mountain. As long as he crossed the ridge, the foot of the mountain would be where they stored the horses.

Xu Chaoyang started walking with the machine gun in hand. At that moment in the forest, the rabbits frightened by the gunfire were only worthy of running side by side with him.

Eighty meters, fifty meters…

Xu Chaoyang was getting closer and closer to the huge rock on the top of the mountain. Just as he was about to touch it, he saw Yu Minghao retreating behind the rock because he had emptied his magazine.

At this second Xu Chaoyang had no choice but to fight. He turned around, held the Czech rifle at his waist, turned around and started shooting at the Japanese again – bang bang bang bang bang!
Otherwise, without bullet suppression, the Japanese would point their guns at his back!

Beside me, bullets were flying around the pheasant’s neck, and small branches were broken and fell to the ground;

At the side of him, the airflow from the Type 38 rifle bullet just brushed past his body, leaving a hole in Xu Chaoyang’s cotton coat, revealing the cotton wool!
At this second, facing the bullets coming towards him, Xu Chaoyang was also frightened. He realized that there was no so-called “invincible god of war” in this world. They were just a group of helpless and miserable people who, after being forced into a corner, fought with gritted teeth and created one legend after another that shocked the entire army.

After all, one person has only one life…

It was impossible for Xu Chaoyang to run with the gun in hand. He saw that the Japanese machine gun group in the distance had moved to the foot of the mountain. As long as these guys raised their heads, the entire battle situation would be completely rewritten. In other words, the countdown to Xu Chaoyang’s life was the number of bullets in his magazine!

Da da da da…

The gunshots continued, and Xu Chaoyang’s unwillingness was like the bullet in the gun, and it was about to…

The top of the mountain, the other end of the beam.

A sturdy man lying on the hillside was watching the battlefield with a frown on his face. A cunning man next to him advised, “Captain, we can’t fight. Whoever fights at this critical moment will die!”

“Did you forget what the meeting was about?”

“Have you forgotten what the telegram said about the necessity of uniting all forces behind enemy lines to organize an anti-Japanese guerrilla force?”

The man looked back and said with a determined look, “Can’t you see that these people below are all capable of fighting and killing? Can they still hold out under the attack of so many devils?”

“Tong Meng!”

A thin, gloomy-faced young man in his early twenties came up from behind the crowd, bent over, and quickly lay down beside this person, then looked up at him.

“Did you bring our precious treasures with you?”

Tong Meng said nothing, but nodded heavily.

“all!”

Tong Meng didn’t answer at all. He retreated from his position and moved on the ridge again with his waist bent.

The boy didn’t have a gun in his hand, but he had a huge package on his back. He went around the other side of the beam to the top of the mountain behind Xu Chaoyang, untied the package on his back, picked up a tin can, and used a flint to light the cotton wool on the tin can, and then rolled down the mountain. Gulu!

When one of the tin boxes rolled down the mountain to Xu Chaoyang’s side, Xu Chaoyang saw the smoke rising from the rapid burning, and then immediately turned his head to take a look. In that one look, he saw a bullet from the mountain piercing his arm, directly raising a cloud of blood mist!
Xu Chaoyang staggered after being shot, and started to curse: “Stop making trouble, okay! I’ll fuck your mother!”

Xu Chaoyang understood what this thing was. It was a simple smoke bomb made by a private person. The iron box next to him was constantly emitting thick smoke, which made Xu Chaoyang’s nose and tears flow.

But is this a place where smoke bombs can be thrown?

This is Northeast China, the Northeast mountains and forests where the Chinese New Year just ended!
Even this little bit of smoke can be blown away by a strong wind from the mountain…

wind?
A gust of wind blew past, and the smoke floated down along the tin box that was rolling down beside Xu Chaoyang, and covered the Japanese soldier’s face!

The person who used the smoke bomb was not a fool. The lateral movement of the smoke caused by the tin box that fell at his feet was just a mistake. More smoke bombs were blown up by the wind during the rolling process, and the not-so-strong wind just happened to spread the smoke towards the Japanese.

He took the wind direction into consideration, so he rolled the tin boxes down the mountain one by one, making the forest foggy!

Who is this person?

Although smoke bombs first appeared during World War I, this was Northeast China in early 1932, and it was impossible for ordinary people to master this technology.

After the smoke was spread, the Japanese soldiers who had lost their vision stopped shooting, and it seemed that they didn’t understand the situation.

But at this time, the fighter plane appeared in front of Xu Chaoyang!
“Haozi, Gener, Yongzi, return to the team!”

“Fight these bastards in close combat!!!”

At this time, Xu Chaoyang threw away the Czech gun that he had been reluctant to let go of, held the machine gun on his shoulder in his hand, and hid behind the tree sideways.

The next second, three figures appeared on the mountain and came down, quickly gathering behind Xu Chaoyang.

At this time, Xu Chaoyang had no time to explain, so he could only give a tough order: “Go down the mountain slowly, lie down when you hear gunshots, and no one is allowed to raise their heads without my order, understand?”

After saying that, he walked down the mountain.

In the shadows, four figures walked slowly down the mountain in a column, holding their guns, and moved towards the gathering place of the Japanese on the left.

As they moved down the mountain under the cover of smoke, a shout came from the other side of the beam: “Fight!”

boom!
The sound of Lao Hanyang’s gunshot came, followed by the continuous “bang, bang” sounds of guns. Xu Chaoyang turned his head and took a look. At this time, he was already in the smoke and could not see the outside environment at all.

Not far away, a cough in the thick fog attracted Xu Chaoyang’s attention – cough, cough!

Hearing the sound, Xu Chaoyang knelt on one knee on the hillside without hesitation, clenched the submachine gun in his hand and pulled the trigger immediately – da da da!

Three gunshots were heard, and he fell to the ground, followed by everyone behind him who also lay down. At this time, the sound of gunfire continued in the smoke, “bang, bang”, “da da da da, da da da da”!
The bullets flew by Xu Chaoyang’s scalp, but he lay on the ground like half of a snake’s head, slowly crawling diagonally forward with his whole body…
