I really came here to fight against Japan

"Platoon leader, I told you that Da Lao Nian usually hides bullets, but you didn't believe me. Look, today he finally revealed his true colors."

When the soldiers next to Dalaonian heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Platoon Leader Guan: "Big Lao Nian, if you can come up with a good idea to fight the Japanese, I won't hold you accountable for hiding the bullets."

The old man lay there happily, taking a puff of his pipe.

"Platoon leader, when we attacked just now, the puppet army was in the front and the Japanese were behind.

There's a gap of about 40 to 50 meters between them, why don't we get in a little and fight..."

A soldier said: "Laonian, if we keep firing like this, won't we miss the bottom of the bullet?"

The old man raised his head and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky.

He turned his head again and looked at the cliff fifty meters behind him.

"Well, who cares whether it's leaked or not, we have already retreated here.

The Japanese soldiers down there would definitely know that we only have a few people.

Didn’t you see that when they attacked, they were using the lives of the puppet soldiers to consume our bullets?

Don’t worry about our exposure now, let’s just hold off these little devils until night.”

Platoon Leader Guan nodded, obviously agreeing with Dalaonian's idea.

“Anyway, the villagers and the main force of the military sub-district have already broken through.

We can give it a try here, and follow the advice of the elder brother."

The old man lowered his head to look up at the sky and spoke to the platoon leader very seriously.

"Platoon Leader Guan, you know my situation. Nizi is the only one left at home.

Her biggest wish now is that I can be in the party, you see..."

As soon as Platoon Leader Guan said this, his eyes turned red. What a good comrade he is.

He couldn't let such a good warrior have any regrets in the last moments of his life.

So he called the deputy squad leader Yu Dalin and gathered with the soldiers.

"Comrades, Deputy Squad Leader Yu and I are both Party members of our platoon.

Everyone has seen the current situation. If any comrade wants to join the Party on the front line, please speak up.

Comrade Yu Dalin and I are both willing to introduce him to the Party."

"I would like to..."

"I would also like to..."

"Comrades, your performance is very good. Although we don't have a party flag, we will face the direction of northern Shaanxi and take the oath.

Comrades, please take the oath with me, I volunteer to join..."

"I volunteer to join..."

"Uphold the Party's program and abide by the Party's constitution..."

"Uphold the Party's program and abide by the Party's constitution..."

“…Never betray the party!”

“…Never betray the party!”

They had just finished reading the party oath, and Da Laonian was already crying like a baby.

"Ni, your father is also a member of the party now.

Ni Tan Niang, your spirit in heaven can rest assured, I will definitely kill more devils and puppet troops to avenge you and your fellow villagers."

"Why do you only know how to cry about your own wife? You really have forgotten your mother after getting a wife.

Can you not seek revenge on the Japanese for your parents?"

"My parents died early. They starved to death while fleeing famine... who else could it be if not you?"

When Da Laonian heard someone was framing him, he quickly explained to that person.

Halfway through the explanation, Da Laonian realized that the man was not an Eighth Route Army soldier from their platoon.

We are in this desolate mountain and almost at the top of the cliff. Where did these outsiders come from?

Looking at that stranger, he was wearing a national army uniform?

With a "swish" sound, the muzzles of thirteen rifles were all aimed at the person who suddenly appeared.

The man said to everyone with a smile: "Don't panic, we are all family."

After saying this, he began to take off his military uniform.

He took out a set of Eighth Route Army uniform from a backpack and put it on.

He patted his uniform and said to Platoon Leader Guan: "Look at my uniform. Now you will believe that I am one of you, right?"

Platoon Leader Guan: You changed into your military uniform in front of us, and now you tell us that you are also a member of the Eighth Route Army. Do you really think we are stupid?

At this time, a soldier ran over with a bundle of ropes in his hand.

"Platoon leader, look at this rope. I found it on the edge of the cliff. This person must have climbed up from the bottom of the cliff."

Platoon Leader Guan was thinking about interrogating this suspicious person.

Suddenly, two grenades were fired from the bottom of the mountain. After two "boom" sounds, the mountain was blown into flying sand and rocks.

"Take cover, the Japs are starting to attack."

Then they started fighting "ping pong" with the Japanese soldiers attacking from below.

The stranger who had suddenly appeared was pulled to the back by two Eighth Route Army soldiers and looked at.

This time the Japanese attacked very fiercely, as if they were preparing to take down the top of the mountain in one go.

The Japanese machine guns provided cover from behind, and the puppet troops rushed forward recklessly as if they had taken medicine.

The high-intensity gunfire was such that Platoon Leader Guan and his men could no longer hold on because they had no bullets left.

Then, they threw down the stones they had prepared in advance and finally blocked the attack from below.

But the Japanese had already realized that the Eighth Route Army above had no bullets left.

Can't you see they've already started throwing stones down there?

Looking up from below, you can already see the Eighth Route Army.

This means that they must have thrown away all the stones that were used as cover.

The Japanese commander shot and killed the puppet army company commander who led the retreat.

Then he ordered another puppet army company commander to lead his troops to charge forward.

They did not give the Eighth Route Army on the cliff any time to prepare.

Platoon Leader Guan shouted "Fix bayonets", put on the bayonet of his Type 38 rifle, and was about to rush out of the bunker.

Just as they were about to rush down, suddenly a familiar voice came from behind them, "Get down."

Everyone knew by the sound of the voice that it was the voice of Zhao Ling, a young soldier in their platoon.

Out of trust in their comrades, everyone immediately chose to lie down on the spot.

Then, the sound of gunfire like popping beans was heard from the direction of the cliff above their heads.

They looked back and saw three firing points appearing abruptly on the top of the mountain.

Zhao Ling and another Eighth Route Army soldier each held a submachine gun that they were unfamiliar with.

They were shooting fiercely at the puppet troops rushing up from below.

The most fierce attack was from the light machine gun in the middle.

The shooter's shoulder was pressed tightly against the wooden butt of the light machine gun.

One after another, yellow machine gun bullets were fired from the drum through the ammunition belt.

The puppet army, which was less than twenty meters away from the top of the mountain, was knocked backwards by the sudden firepower.

Many puppet soldiers were knocked down the mountain directly from the mountain road by the retreating soldiers.

At this time, the Japanese's Type 99 rifles suddenly swept towards the Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain.

They attempted to use this to suppress the light machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

Unexpectedly, on the top of the mountain, the Eighth Route Army soldier raised the muzzle of his machine gun.

The fierce firepower directly killed the two Japanese machine gunners, the chief and the deputy machine gunner.

He was shot all over with bullet holes, and he tumbled backwards down the cliff beside the mountain path, deader than dead.

The Japanese soldiers below no longer cared about the lives of the retreating puppet troops.

They then headed to the top of Huya Mountain and launched another charge against the Eighth Route Army positions.

They hoped to capture the Eighth Route Army’s position on the top of the mountain in one fell swoop.
