As soon as Shang Zhen's two grenades went off, there were explosions in other places, and the village became chaotic. Suddenly, Japanese shouts were everywhere.

If Shang Zhen hadn't concluded that the Japanese army must live in this village, who would have thought that there would be so many people in this quiet little village before?

Just as you entered the village, you naturally exited the same way. Shang Zhen went to the location of the previous pig pen.

It was easy for him to find the pigsty.

He was still thinking that it would be good to enter and exit from the pigsty.

Even if there were no fires lit by Japanese soldiers in the village, they would be able to get out just by smelling it.

Shang Zhen stretched out his hand to hold on to the low wall of the pigsty, jumped in lightly, and then walked out through the low wall at the other end without caring about what was in the pigsty.

According to the initial combat plan, Shang Zhen did not fire a single shot from beginning to end. Although he saw some Japanese soldiers within a few dozen meters of distance after throwing the grenades and then returned to the pig pen, of course his marksmanship You can easily kill some more Japs.

But firing will reveal his position. In that case, he is not here to take advantage, but becomes a death squad.

Shang Zhen came out of the pigsty and did not go far. Instead, he squatted on the outer wall of the pigsty.

It was only a short while later that he heard movement in the pigsty, and when the man climbed over the wall and came out, the man whispered "Gaha". That was a string of money, and Shang Zhen returned. He said "touch blind".

"Gaha" and "touch blind" are both Northeastern dialects, and they are also the passwords tonight. In Northeastern dialect, "Gaha" means "what are you doing", and "touch blind" means hide and seek.

Passwords are always chosen based on what one is familiar with and what the other party does not understand. Similarly, if the passwords given by the Japanese are "Under Mount Fuji" and "Sakura Blossoms", it is estimated that sooner or later the Chinese army will have to sneak in. .

Shang Zhen whispered to Qian Chuan'er, and Qian Chuan'er went to the big wall next to the pig pen to be on guard.

As Qian Chuan'er returned, in the next few minutes, several veterans quickly returned one after another, including their guide Shuan Zi, but Chen Hanwen and Ma Tianfang were missing.

Originally, Qin Chuan was going to perform the task of throwing grenades with Ma Tianfang. After all, Ma Tianfang only had one arm.

But Ma Tianfang firmly refused.

Ma Tianfang said, this time I just threw a grenade into the house. I'm not a new recruit. If I throw it myself, wouldn't it mean that we can kill a few more little Japs?

There were few people coming this time, so what Ma Tianfang said made sense, and Shang Zhen agreed.

But who would have thought that neither Ma Tianfang nor Chen Hanwen would come back in time.

As for why they didn't come back, there's no way to guess!

By this time, the village was already on fire, and the chaotic shouts of the Japanese soldiers were gone, replaced by the shouts and thumping footsteps of a few Japanese.

After all, the Japanese army was well-trained, and they quickly became orderly after being bombed.

"What's going on, battalion commander? There's some movement from the Japs on the other end." Qian Chuan'er, who ran from the high wall, reported in a low voice.

Shang Zhen whispered without hesitation: "Withdraw!"

Shang Zhen's words caused ripples in the hearts of the veterans, but the order must be carried out, so under the leadership of Shang Zhen, they retreated into the dark mountains.

And just when they had walked a few steps, there was another movement at the other end of the pig pen. It was Ma Tiancai saying "gaha".

Ma Tianfang unexpectedly rushed back.

But after Shang Zhen answered the password and asked Ma Tianfang, Ma Tianfang didn't even meet Chen Hanwen.

At this time, Shang Zhen could only order a retreat again.

When discussing the battle plan, since this time they were just going to "take advantage", Shang Zhen's order was to throw the grenade and run back.

And since the seven veterans all went to throw grenades into the house individually, it was impossible to achieve unified action.

So the call to action they agreed on was when they heard the first explosion, that was the order to act.

In other words, no matter who throws the first grenade and explodes, others need to take action immediately, otherwise the Japanese army will be prepared.

As for how to retreat, Shang Zhen gave two more options, allowing the veterans to make their own decisions based on their own circumstances. One is to return the way you came, that is, from the pig pen. The other is that the situation does not allow you to come back. For example, if the Japanese army blocks the way back, then you can find your own way out of the village.

So now Shang Zhen can only lead the team to retreat.

Originally, given their physical condition last night, it was not suitable for them to fight the Japanese army again, but Shang Zhen just felt that it would be a pity to miss such a great opportunity to attack the Japanese army, so he "reluctantly" took advantage, and of course he took advantage. Just ran away.

In fact, from this perspective, Shang Zhen rushed into the house and threw a grenade on the bed where the Japanese officer slept, which did not meet the operational requirements.

Just over an hour after Shang Zhen and the others withdrew from the village, dawn broke.

As soon as day broke, the Japanese troops were dispatched. More than 200 Japanese troops went straight to the hills that they had set on fire when it was dark yesterday.

The Japanese troops "pulled a big net" and began to search the hills from below, and the result of the search was naturally that they discovered a fire escape somewhere on the hills.

Even if the Japanese army had never conducted forest fire prevention, they could still figure out what the fire escape was for. In anger, they set fire to the bushes that had not been burned in the fire escape.

But so what, they could only withdraw after all.

And all this was watched by Shang Zhen and the others on the distant mountains.

"His grandma is a jerk, you idiots, either come early or come late, you have to wait until I'm half full before you come back!" Hu Zhuzhu scolded, and then bit the frozen piece hard. The horse meat was chewed.

But now what Hu Zhuzhu said was ignored by others. Shang Zhen held up the telescope to watch the movements of the Japanese army, while others were looking at Shang Zhen with some hope in their eyes.

Shang Zhen led them to retreat from the village, but he did not lead them to escape immediately. Instead, he hid in the mountains.

There is only one reason for this, and that is that they still hope to wait until Chen Hanwen returns. Although Chen Hanwen does not know where they are hiding now, even if Chen Hanwen comes back now, he may not be able to see them.

It was daybreak an hour after Shang Zhen and the others withdrew from the village. Their only food was the piece of horse meat cut from the Japanese war horse.

Since the ignition target was too obvious, it was impossible for them to start a fire, so they were so hungry that they could only chop the horse meat into pieces and chew it raw.

Horse meat is not like beef. The shreds are very thick, but they are so hungry that they can't care about it. The result is that they have eaten horse meat after all, but their cheeks are also tired and sore. .

"The Japanese have withdrawn, and the scholar has not been seen." After a while, Shang Zhen put down his telescope and whispered.

So the veterans remained silent.

About a quarter of an hour later, black smoke rose in the distance, indicating that the Japanese army had finally set fire to the houses in the village.

More than an hour later, Shang Zhen and the others appeared in the village that had become a ruin. In front of them were completely burned-out houses.

Shang Zhen and the others began to search the ruins.

The village was only that big, and they finished the search in a short while, but found nothing. The villagers who must have died were not found, nor was Chen Hanwen. As for the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who were killed by the bombing, they had also been taken away by the Japanese army.

"Maybe if the scholar can't find us, he will go back to find his wife." Qian Chuan'er speculated with good intentions.

"Well, that guy must have gone back by himself!" Qin Chuan and Ma Tian said in unison.

Although Chen Hanwen has never seen dead people or corpses in life, it is still better than seeing that thing, right?

But at this moment, Shuanzi suddenly cried somewhere outside the village: "Dead, all dead, they were all killed by the Japanese!"

Father, mother, which one is you? "

Shang Zhen and the others exchanged surprised glances and ran towards Shuanzi.

And when they ran to Shuanzi who was kneeling on the ground, they felt as if they were in a Shura field. The open space was full of severed limbs and human organs. All the villagers who had been killed by the Japanese army were all killed by the Japanese army. Dismembered!

The anger of hatred burned in the chests of the soldiers again, and Shang Zhen thought it would be better if there were cluster grenades last night.

After the Japanese army occupied the village, Shang Zhen knew that the villagers in this village were doomed.

But when he saw the minced corpses of the villagers, he knew that this was the Japanese army venting their anger because of the grenade fired last night.

I thought it would be a complete victory, but who would have thought that it would come at the expense of the innocent villagers’ corpses?
