Duanwu touched the guns on his body. Apart from an MP28 submachine gun, he only had a Browning pistol that had been with him for a long time.
This gun was given to him by Cheng Wanli who died in the battle in front of the Sixing Warehouse.
Cheng Wanli, the major battalion commander of the 87th Division, died protecting the Dragon Boat Festival during the Battle of Changshu.
So every time he looks at this gun, Duan Wu will think of Cheng Wanli.
But in fact, this gun is on the verge of being scrapped. Its rifling was almost flattened. If it weren't for a marksman like Duan Wu, who had excellent marksmanship, it would probably be impossible for this gun to hit the target thirty meters away.
But even so, Duanwu was not willing to throw away the gun. Moreover, his pistol ran out of ammunition. Except for one magazine in the gun, there was only half a magazine left in the waist pocket of his jacket.
This small amount of bullets is simply not enough to cope with the coming battle.
Looking at Sun Desheng and others, except for Sun Desheng who had a shell gun on his waist, the others were all carrying rifles.
Rifles are not suitable for close combat at all, and especially the little devil's Type 38 rifle. When shooting at close range, especially in a small room, the length of the Type 38 rifle is like a person holding a fire stick. . Let alone shooting such a firearm, it is very difficult to hold it up and aim.
Although the rifles of Sun Desheng and others are not as long as the little devil's rifles, they are still long rifles after all, which will also be very inconvenient when fighting indoors.
Thinking of this, Duanwu said: "Brothers, go to the third company and get some shell guns and come back. It will be a close combat, long guns are not convenient."
"Melee?"
Before Duan Wu finished speaking, Sun Desheng and the four soldiers behind him looked surprised.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Are there just a few of us going to fight the Japanese head-on? That way we will die miserably. Go quickly, I will give you five minutes to get back all the shell guns of the Third Company, including their bullets .”
"yes!"
Sun Desheng responded, then turned around and left. He only came back after walking for ten minutes, holding five shell guns with only about 200 rounds of bullets.
Duanwu looked at the shell guns. Three of them were counterfeited from China. To load the bullet, you had to press it into the gun from above, and the bullet capacity was only ten rounds.
Duanwu asked angrily: "Can this kind of gun be used for fighting? Should we rush in and shoot a few shots, and then tell the Japanese: Little Japanese, let's stop the war temporarily. You wait for me to load the bullet, and then we can fight again?"
"hehe!"
Several soldiers around him were actually amused by Duanwu's words.
Duanwu scolded: "Why are you laughing? We are talking about business now. We are here to fight, not to joke with the little devil."
The Dragon Boat Festival is going to be so angry that it is different from committing suicide. Moreover, the counterfeit shell gun has a high failure rate. If the bullet jams when shooting at close range with the Japanese, a life will be lost.
"Special Commissioner? I heard that you are looking for a shell gun? I got two from the second company."
At this moment, Wang Tong ran back. He had gone to assign tasks to various departments, and then heard the officers complain that the special commissioner had taken away all the box cannons, so how could they direct the battle?
This is just complaining, but in fact, can’t you command without a box cannon?
And they certainly don't know that Duanwu doesn't like their guns at all.
Wang Tong brought two more, which were also imitated from China.
There is no magazine. To load the bullet, you have to press the bullet in from above, just like a rifle.
Duanwu sighed, because it was obvious that the Northeastern Army was also very poor. Let alone let him use this piece of shit, even if it was given to the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment would not want it. The shell guns of the independent regiment are all made in Germany.
At this time, seeing that Duan Wu was not satisfied, Wang Tong thought about it and handed over his gun.
This is a German product that is 80% new, but has been well maintained. I am afraid that among all the shell guns, this gun is the best.
Duanwu had no choice but to use Wang Tong's gun, and the other guns were evenly distributed among Sun Desheng and others.
Each person has one German-style shell gun, while two domestic box guns are used alternately.
After the weapons were distributed, Duan Wu and Jian Jian taught Wang Desheng and others a few special combat gestures, and then disappeared into the vast night with the five of them.
Near the east wall, the Japanese did not set fire to any houses. Maybe it's because the houses here are too dense, or maybe it's because the light is too bright for them to hide.
But no matter what the reason was, the houses in East City did not burn, and the streets only had limited moonlight shining on them.
The Dragon Boat Festival leads people along the shadows under the moonlight.
The moon was in the northeast, and they were walking to the west of the houses.
There are enough shadows under the courtyard wall here to cover them, and as long as they are discovered by the Japanese in the foreign stronghold in the southwest, they will be safe.
Dragon Boat Festival gestured and everyone moved forward quickly.
But suddenly, a Japanese man opened a flashlight at the window on the east side of the foreign bank and shined it at a position more than fifty meters in front of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Obviously, although the little devils did not burn down all the houses nearby, they had the same idea. If someone took advantage of the shadow under the moonlight to infiltrate, it would be very possible.
So they would scan with their flashlights every once in a while, or when they heard any suspicious noises, they would take a flashlight and take a look around.
The Japs' machine gunners are on the side of the electrocutioners. If they find an enemy, they will shoot immediately.
I just didn't expect that at this moment, when the little devil had just turned on the flashlight and shined it in the direction of the Dragon Boat Festival, suddenly a bullet flew from the south window, and with a bang, it hit the Japanese with the flashlight.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The other Japanese soldiers shouted, but at this moment, bullets hit the bank like raindrops, shattering all the glass on the south side of the bank.
The screams and screams of the Japanese in the foreign bank were endless, and many Japanese who were close to the balcony windows were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest.
Perhaps this was the carelessness of the Japanese. They believed that the enemy would definitely be on the streets when they appeared, but little did they know that their enemies had already been lurking at many commanding heights on the south side of Yanghang.
Although the Northeast Army was not sure of the little devil's specific location, the little devil had just turned on the flashlight. Although the flashlight's light was only for a moment, this moment was enough for an experienced veteran.
So in just an instant, the machine gun and rifle cooperated. After a series of shooting, more than a dozen little Japanese were dead, and at least seven or eight others were injured.
Of course, after suffering such a big loss, the Japs would never just sit back and wait for death. The Japs officers howled loudly, and after a while, the Japs' machine guns and rifles also started firing, almost in an instant. , then swept through all the rooftops opposite the south side of the Yangtze Bank, and there were dozens of places where people could hide, and no one was spared! ...
