Hu Yi looked at the yellow leaves floating in the wind, picked up a dead leaf that fell on his shoulder, and looked at it in a daze.
At this time, a burst of cheers came from outside the village.
The silence between the two people who were sitting and standing was interrupted.
"Boss Hu, something is wrong. Look, it's just summer. Why is this tree starting to lose yellow leaves?" Luo Fugui held a handful of leaves and asked Hu Yi in surprise.
"Lack of water!" Hu Yi replied after thinking for a while.
"How is it possible? How can there be a lack of water at the foot of the mountain..."
Hu Yi looked down at Luo Fugui: "Get up quickly!"
After saying that, Luo Fugui, who was staring at the leaves in a daze on the ground, took a step forward and continued walking towards the woods outside the village.
"Do you think armored vehicles are really that powerful?" Two soldiers from the Second Company stood upright and guarded next to a motorcycle.
"That goes without saying." The soldier next to him replied casually.
"I think we should go over and take a look." The soldier who spoke earlier asked for advice.
"What the hell, are you still a soldier of the Second Company? Do you want to be a traitor and go to hell with the people of their Ninth Company?"
"With so many of us, just guarding this little iron lump, is it useful?" He was reluctant.
"I asked you, have you realized that the Ninth Company can't even fight with a bayonet? This iron guy is very powerful, but the defense area of our independent regiment is in the mountains. After returning to the mountains, the armored vehicles are of no use! What's there to see?"
"I still want to see it!"
"Just look at it, just stay there!"
More than twenty people were guarding a motorcycle, but all their eyes were focused on the steel monster on the other side.
Xu Xiao, who was standing opposite the armored vehicle, looked up and asked, "Tell me, why are there so many bullet casings in this armored vehicle?"
"The Japs were the ones who beat me last night." Lying on the opened roof, a braid fluttering in the wind, he reached into the armored vehicle again: "Hao Yun, are you okay?"
"It'll be good soon." Hao Yun's voice came from the car.
"Can't you take the bullets outside and load them?"
"Uh... that's right, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
A stack of magazines was handed out from the side of the cover, and a group of people below quickly took over and started busy.
"Isn't it said to be a heavy machine gun? Why isn't it a bullet-proof plate?" The girl looked confused.
"You didn't know this, right? This guy's machine guns are two imitation Czech-made Type 97 7.7mm heavy machine guns, which use magazines."
"Wait a minute, Czech style, seven point seven bullets, not seventy-nine bullets?" The girl asked with confusion on her face.
"Uh, no, the caliber should be smaller..."
"You mean, its bullets are different from the Czech ones?"
"It's different." After Hao Yun finished speaking, he muttered to another person in the armored vehicle: "Platoon Commander Li, how many shells are left?"
"Not many, the grenades are basically gone, there are only twelve left, ten armor-piercing shells!" Li Xiang's voice came out.
"Armor-piercing bullet? What is it?" Lying on the open observation port, Xu Xiao stretched his head inside.
"Well, the shells are specially used to hit armored vehicles... they can also be used to hit gun towers!" Hao Yun answered.
Xu Xiao retracted his head and climbed out of the car to the girl: "Can I go in and take a look?"
"You want to go in?"
"Can it be done?"
"What about this? Okay, but you have to listen to me from now on!" The girl rolled her eyes.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I have to listen to the squad leader!" He said sadly and prepared to leave.
"I'm just kidding you, go in, I approve!"
"Ah, thank you Sister Hong!"
"Go down, take this!" As she spoke, the girl picked up a flashlight from the side and handed it over.
"Brother Hao, isn't that a machine gun? Can it be dismantled?" Xu Xiao rubbed his painful head and looked around carefully.
"This is a special machine gun for Japanese tanks. What's the use of taking it apart? You little brat, get out of here!" Hao Yun looked disdainful.
These words made the girl above who was about to ask the same question quickly swallow her words.
"No, the armored vehicles we fought before didn't have heavy machine guns inside?" the girl above asked the one below.
"Where have you seen her? Auntie, how do I know so much?"
"Don't worry, I've seen it anyway!"
"You sat all night yesterday, didn't you see?"
"What are you talking about? I didn't even have time to look at the armored car. I'm not paying attention in the dark. Don't talk nonsense. Come out quickly and let Li Xiang dismantle the machine gun. By the way, dismantle the cannon for me."
"Tear it down. This is the Japanese Type 94 30mm tank gun. It can't be used if it's taken down. What's the point of taking it apart? It can only exert its power on this armored vehicle."
The girl is not stupid. It is obvious that this big iron thing cannot be taken back to the mountains. Since it cannot be taken away, of course it is necessary to get rid of the good things on it, so as not to take advantage of the guys in the military division.
"What about the machine gun?"
"This can't be dismantled. If you dismantle this armored vehicle, it will be useless! Hey, I said, this thing is really useless. I don't know where you are. If you can't use the mortar, you might as well ask them for this crap. A few grenade machine guns are enough."
"What's that iron barrel on the machine gun?" Li Xiang began to ask through the light coming from the observation hole.
"That's the 1.5x scope on the machine gun."
""
The soldiers of the Ninth Company were divided into three groups. They climbed up and down on the car and touched everywhere on the motorcycle. One person would get on and sit for a while, and then the next one would drag him out.
When Hu Yi arrived, the armored vehicle had already started: "Where is the girl?"
After looking around, no one was seen. The cover on the left side of the armored vehicle was opened, first a pigtail emerged, and then, a dark face was revealed.
"Hey, fox, I'm here!" he shouted proudly to Hu Yi.
"I said, where did this beggar come from?" Hu Yi looked at the dirty look on the girl's face and said, "Well, come out quickly. I have something to tell you."
"Can we turn around twice before we talk?" The girl didn't pay attention at all.
After saying that, he retracted his head and ordered Hao Yun, who was always ready next to him: "Let's go!"
After a buzzing sound, a puff of black smoke came out from behind the armored vehicle's butt, and the armored vehicle slowly advanced amidst the harsh creaking of its tracks.
Hu Yi stood by the woods, with a black line on his head, until the armored vehicle drove in front of him, and Hu Yi blocked the way.
"Come out!" Hu Yi shouted loudly.
It had to be loud, the armored vehicles were too loud.
After a while, the top cover was opened and the girl climbed out: "Just two laps! Okay?"
Hu Yi looked at the girl's dirty face and unconsciously got out of the way.
Then, the armored vehicle was followed by a long group of divisional guerrillas, eating dust and heading straight for the road outside the woods.
Hu Yi was left messy in the dust, and Luo Fugui next to him looked worried.
...
A long cavalry team galloped towards the military division.
"Report, the enemy has been spotted ahead!" A leading soldier of the Eighth Route Army came back from the front to report.
"What's going on?" A soldier in a patched and torn uniform lifted the reins and stopped, letting the horse spin in place. .
"Japanese armored vehicles appeared outside the military subdivision station!" the leading soldier reported.
"What? I just passed their outer defense line, and I didn't hear that there were any Japs raiding this area? Could it be that the Japs occupied the divisional headquarters from other directions? So fast? Map!" After that, he jumped off the horse.
"Well, we're all in a mess. We don't know much about the situation. It would be great if we had a radio station!" There was a circle around the map.
"Why didn't you hear gunshots? Is the battle over?" The leader looked up and asked.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, it's very strange!" The soldier stood outside and replied.
"No matter what, the situation is urgent, everyone mounts up and provides reinforcements immediately!"
With an order, the team set off again.
The Independent Regiment was still having a meeting in the yard, but there were only two people left, the black-lined commander Lu and the dark-faced staff officer.
The room was very empty. The generals in the meeting made excuses and ran away after hearing the sound of armored vehicles outside the village. Needless to say, they must have heard the sound of armored vehicles and ran to see what was strange.
The Ninth Company can really mess around, but Captain Lu is not angry. At least, the staff officer in front of him has been talking to him for a long time, and his black face is almost gloomy.
