"I saw a total of fifteen Japs, and I can't see any more clearly." Gu Man said in a low voice.
"Fifteen is not enough." Shang Zhen sighed as if talking to himself, and then he asked, "How do you use the box cannon? Are your marksmanship accurate?"
"How do you say that?" Gu Man was in trouble, but his heart jumped involuntarily. He was about to shoot him, and there was a trace of reluctance in his heart. Moreover, he really couldn't answer whether the marksmanship was good or not.
His marksmanship was good, whether he was shooting at stationary targets or moving targets. He thought that his marksmanship with a box cannon was still good, but could he say that?
"How many bullets are left?" Shang Zhen asked again.
"There is less than one magazine left, maybe sixteen or seven rounds." Gu Man replied.
"That's all there is left." Gu Man heard the sigh again in Shang Zhen's tone.
"First it was my third brother, and then it was me -" In the end, it was because of someone else's shortcomings that he only said half of the sentence in ancient Manchu. The remaining half of the sentence was "How can we not waste it?"
Yes, this twenty-ring box cannon was first used by his third brother. After his third brother was killed, it was his turn to use it. It cannot be said that the battle lasted for a day, but even if it only lasted three or four hours in one day, , the bullets given by Shang Zhen have been almost used.
"Forget it, you'd better give me the box cannon, ugh." Shang Zhen finally sighed.
What can Guman say at this time? If he wasn't hanging out with Shang Zhen and the others now, then he wouldn't have returned the gun at all, but now - although he was reluctant to let go, Gu Man could only pick up the gun.
Shang Zhen said nothing, took the gun and handed him the Type 38 rifle he had just seized along with a box of ammunition.
But it wasn't over yet, Shang Zhen leaned down and put another rifle and the Japanese magazine next to him.
It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. To be honest, this is the first time that Shang Zhen is in trouble because of the lack of bullets.
Gu Man had just counted for a long time and saw fifteen Japs in the fire, but Shang Zhen knew that fifteen would not be enough? I'm afraid even thirty-five of them won't be able to stop me!
Although Shang Zhen didn't expect Du Man to kill all these Japs, who would think that he had too many bullets?
"When will we start fighting?" Du Man, who placed his rifle on a gap in the wall, asked again.
"You can't tell when you will hit me." Shang Zhen replied.
When Du Man almost said, "Asking means not asking," Shang Zhen instead explained in a low voice: "It's really not sure, we can't decide it ourselves.
If we are discovered by the Japs as we approach them, we will start fighting. As soon as our gun fires, the other two groups will definitely start fighting as well.
If another group shoots first and the Japanese are on guard, then we will have no choice but to fight.
If none of our three groups were discovered by the Japanese, but at this time our attack on the town started, we would follow suit.
Besides, we can't fire the first shot yet. I have to wait for Qiao Xiong to fire one or two shots at the Japanese first.
You said, how can I tell accurately when the fight will start? "
Gu Man remained silent, but what he was thinking about was, why do you talk so much about this battle? If it had been someone from his own company, they would have rushed forward? Is this the reason why all the people in my company have been killed and wounded but these people are still alive?
Gu Man thought to himself and glanced east again. There were no ruins blocking his view at this location. Finally, a trace of fish belly white appeared on the eastern skyline. Before he knew it, the night was about to pass.
"If we don't fight now, it will be difficult to evacuate at dawn." Gu Man couldn't help but said again.
"It's best to wait for our large army to start fighting, otherwise we will probably end up with a mixed meal." Shang Zhen replied.
Of course Shang Zhen hopes to cooperate with the main force in fighting, so that it will be much easier to take back Xiaobengbu.
Otherwise, even if we really kill dozens of Japs, it is impossible for them not to retreat. In that case, the position will still be in the hands of the enemy.
Shang Zhen did not expect that up to now, none of his three groups had started. There were too many uncertain factors on the battlefield. If he had known that such a situation would arise, he would have just communicated with the large troops first.
But ventilation is not good either. Once they are ventilated, they will have to carry out another mission. That mission must be completed regardless of sacrifices. Unlike now, no matter whether they can regain the position or not, as long as they kill the Japanese It could have been withdrawn!
Shang Zhen himself didn't even realize that during the long period of fighting abroad, he had learned a lot about Wang Lao Mao's style of taking advantage and running away if there was no advantage. He was even more scheming than Wang Lao Mao!
However, what was supposed to come would eventually come. Just when Shang Zhen began to murmur in his heart, fierce gunshots and explosions suddenly came from the north.
Upon hearing that momentum, it was beyond what a team like Shang Zhen and his team could produce. There was no doubt that this was the Northeast Army's last counterattack against the Japanese troops in Xiaobengbu before dawn!
And in the sudden sound of gunfire and explosions, Gu Man's spirit was lifted, and it finally started!
He was holding back his energy!
Although this energy has hatred for the Japanese invaders, it also has the urge to compete with Shang Zhen in his marksmanship.
The twenty-ring box cannon is indeed useful, but for veterans, isn't it easy to hit a fifty-meter target with a rifle?
Yes, the rifle is not as fast as the box gun, but in terms of accuracy, how can the box gun be compared with the rifle? What's more, the rifle he is using now is a Type 38 rifle that is famous for its shooting stability?
Guman flipped the bolt and pointed the rifle at the Japanese soldiers who had just appeared next to the fire on the high hill. The Japanese soldiers who were resting next to the fire were also awakened and immediately rushed towards the mortar that was set up. went.
Even though there is no Japanese army in front to direct the artillery target, they can always fire flares for their own people, right?
But just when Gu Man had pointed his rifle at the mortar and before a Japanese gunner could pull the trigger before him, he heard a "boom" not far behind him.
To say that the "boom" was not loud in the background of the messy gunfire and explosions, but then Guman saw a flash of white light on the high hill in front, and then there was a "boom" sound, where In the smoke and dust of the explosion, which was not very large, the Japanese mortars and gunners disappeared!
It disappeared, of course it was covered by the smoke and dust of the explosion, but in other words, the Japanese gunman and the mortar were directly hit by a grenade!
"Oops!" Gu Man didn't bother to applaud the person behind him who gave the Japanese a small cannon. He immediately pointed his rifle at another mortar.
But before he could pull the trigger, a gunshot rang out in his ear. It was the "pop" of a box cannon, and in this gunshot was the Japanese gunner who was also controlling the mortar. Then he fell down in response!
"Oops!" Gu Man yelled again involuntarily. Why was he knocked down by Shang Zhen just as he was aiming?
Gu Man quickly adjusted the muzzle of his gun.
But it was a coincidence that this time he pointed his rifle at the ammunition hand who was loading the mortar next to the mortar, but at this time he heard another "pop" sound in his ears. , and then the Japanese ammunition hand also fell down!
This Shang Zhen's marksmanship is too accurate! This time Gu Man didn't even bother to say "Oops", he hurriedly switched his gun and aimed at the third Japanese soldier.
But at this moment, he heard the inconspicuous "bang" not far behind him again, and then there was another flash of white light on the high hill in front, and the smoke and dust from the explosion rose again!
What else did he fire this time? The target he wanted to hit disappeared again!
In desperation, Gu Man could only aim at the other Japanese soldiers under the fire again, but at this time he could hear the sound of the box cannon firing in his ears, which continued with "pop", "pop" and "pop". Slip away.
In the sound of gunfire, wherever Gu Man looked, he saw Japanese troops falling down one after another under the flames. It was really a bullet that destroyed an enemy, and that bullet really would not be wasted.
If after the war, a veteran like himself didn't fire a single shot, how embarrassed would he be!
With a thought, Gu Man no longer singled out the Japanese soldier at the key position. He finally pointed at the figure of a Japanese soldier at random.
But just at this moment, the "boom" behind him sounded again.
But if it just rang, that's all, but the next grenade fell on the fire and exploded.
And in this explosion, the fire was blown up with countless sparks, making it look as spectacular as fireworks at a festival.
But when the sparks were annihilated, the hills turned black and the fires were blown out. How could the remaining fires that were speckled like stars in the sky play a role in lighting again?
So far, in this round of attacks, Gu Man, who is also a veteran, has not been able to fire a single shot!
