Chapter 7 Reverse Osmosis
The night is cool as water.
A crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky , emitting a hazy, dim light.
Liu Zhengfeng lay on the edge of the trench, his eyes bright and focused as he scanned the dark hillside in front of him.
After adapting to the dark environment, the scenery ahead gradually became clear.
Liu Zhengfeng himself is an expert in infiltration methods.
He knew very well what things were good for concealment and what places were suitable for breakthroughs.
At its core, reverse osmosis is all about attention to detail and patience.
For example, something that was not there before suddenly appears somewhere.
For example, some plants inexplicably end up in other places.
After a long time, his legs felt a little numb, so Liu Zhengfeng quietly changed his posture to make himself more comfortable.
He glanced at the Plum Blossom watch on his wrist and saw that it was almost two in the morning.
The Type 38 rifle was in his hand, and the magazine was full of bullets.
This is a rifle that is 90% new and well maintained. Liu Zhengfeng spent a long time choosing it during the day.
I don’t know what happened to Wu Erdan. Will he desert his post?
Liu Zhengfeng's worries were not without reason. After all, in the old warlords' ranks, the soldiers generally lacked systematic training, had no firm beliefs, had poor sense of responsibility, and were prone to slacking off.
If Wu Erdan was infiltrated by the Japanese army because of desertion, he would definitely be punished. Others would not care about him so much. They would just say that they were with Wu Erdan.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhengfeng felt a little uneasy in his heart. After confirming again that there was no problem with the area he was on guard, he quietly moved thirty meters to the right and saw Wu Erdan. He was not absent-minded and was slowly turning his head to observe the front.
Liu Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had been worrying too much. He couldn't help but smile slightly and glanced casually to the right front.
The smile on his face suddenly froze, his scalp went numb, and his whole body felt cold.
About fifty meters to the right front of Wu Erdan, he saw several short weeds slowly moving forward. The funny thing was that Wu Erdan, with his eyes open, was completely unaware of it.
Fuck.
Liu Zhengfeng had a stern expression. He raised his gun without hesitation, loaded the bullet, and quickly pulled the trigger.
"boom."
The sudden sound of gunfire pierced the night sky, breaking the previous tranquility.
"ah……"
Those "weeds" suddenly stood up shakily and struggled to run backwards.
Of course Liu Zhengfeng did not give him a chance to escape. He pulled the trigger again. The bullet penetrated the back of his head and the man fell down immediately.
Wu Erdan was startled and woke up as if from a dream. He turned around and looked at Liu Zhengfeng in surprise.
"What are you still standing there for? Shoot."
Liu Zhengfeng had a stern expression as he kept repeating the actions of loading the bullet into the gun and pulling the trigger.
It turned out that after he fired the first shot, dozens of people suddenly jumped up from the hillside in front of him on the right and ran back in panic.
Wu Erdan quickly opened fire, but those people had already disappeared into the darkness.
Liu Zhengfeng quickly fired all five bullets in the magazine and knocked down four people.
By the time he reloaded his magazine and prepared to shoot again, the enemy had disappeared without a trace.
At this time, there were chaotic footsteps coming from behind. It turned out that the people on the rear position heard the gunshots and rushed over.
"What's going on? What happened? Why the shooting?"
Company commander He Ming came over breathlessly and fired a barrage of questions.
"Report to the commander, there is an enemy sneak attack."
Liu Zhengfeng pointed to the front and said, "We knocked down four of them, and the others ran away."
"oh? "
He Ming looked at Liu Zhengfeng with his eyes shining, and immediately assigned a dozen people to search.
After a while, the searchers came back and carried back three bodies and a seriously injured person. They were indeed Japanese soldiers.
He Ming frowned, took out his pistol and pulled the trigger, killing the seriously injured Japanese soldier, and shouted;
"The superiors once said that our enemy is the Yamamoto Battalion of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Army. These beasts committed unforgivable crimes in Nanjing. Whoever encounters them, no matter who encounters them, they will be killed without mercy without asking for permission."
"yes."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Because of these words, Liu Zhengfeng developed some favorable impression towards He Ming.
Third platoon leader Xue Qingshan carefully examined the wounds of the Japanese soldiers. Two of them died from bullets passing through their hearts. One Japanese soldier was shot twice, one in the shoulder and one in the back of the head. The bullet for the seriously injured Japanese soldier entered from the back and exited from the chest.
In the dark night, the shooting was very accurate.
"hiss……"
Xue Qingshan exclaimed in amazement, and he also found that many of these gunshot wounds were penetrating wounds, which were much smaller than those caused by Hanyang bullets. He was sure that these gunshot wounds were definitely caused by the Type 38 rifle.
Liu Zhengfeng was the only person present who was carrying a Type 38 rifle. Xue Qingshan glanced at Liu Zhengfeng.
"Did you defeat all these Japanese soldiers?"
Liu Zhengfeng nodded.
Xue Qingshan asked again: "You only fired five shots?"
Liu Zhengfeng touched his nose and said, "There are only five bullets in the Type 38 rifle magazine. By the time I reloaded the bullets, they had already run away without a trace."
"It's amazing that the bullets hit the target in the dark night."
Xue Qingshan exclaimed in amazement, and suddenly said to Hu Tiande beside him: "I remember he seems to be in your class, right?"
Hu Tiande puffed out his chest proudly.
"Yes, platoon leader, his name is Liu Zhengfeng, and he is my soldier."
"fart."
Xue Qingshan looked at Hu Tiande with a stern face.
"Even you are from my third platoon. He is obviously a soldier from my third platoon."
Hu Tiande smiled widely: "The third platoon leader is right. He is your soldier."
He Ming secretly looked at Liu Zhengfeng for a long time, frowned, pulled Hu Tiandra aside, and whispered;
"A few days ago, you said that a soldier in your class wet his pants. I think it was him?"
Hu Tiande smiled and said, "Company Commander, that's him."
He Ming was puzzled: "Then what happened just now?"
Hu Tiande scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what happened. After he came back from the rear hospital this time, he seemed like a different person."
The confusion on He Ming's face deepened. He tilted his head to think for a while, then shook his head.
"It shouldn't be possible. A new soldier who stayed in the hospital for a few days can come back and be reborn like a phoenix? This is absolutely impossible. I won't believe it even if you kill me."
Hu Tiande nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice in a mysterious manner.
"When he first came back, he was covered in blood. I asked him where the blood came from, and he said that he had fought with Japanese soldiers with bayonets on the way back and killed more than a dozen people. The blood was all Japanese blood. Don't you think it's weird?"
He Ming was silent for a while, shook his head, and was puzzled.
"It's understandable that a coward can suddenly shoot accurately, but bayonet fighting requires courage, strength and skills, which cannot be faked at all."
Hu Tiande said: "Yes, I am also half-believing and half-doubting."
He Ming whispered, "So, when the Japanese attack tomorrow, you should secretly pay attention to his performance. You can tell whether he is a mule or a horse by taking him out for a walk."
Hu Tiande smiled and said, "The company commander is still wise."
