"Brothers, Macheng is right in front of us. Those bastards from Qingfeng Hall have already entered the city. Now it's time for us to enter the city. Enter the city to grab money, women and territory." Sitting on the horse.
Xiao Dapeng stood up straight with his feet on the horse stirrups and shouted loudly. The bandits who were still panting and looking like they would be unable to walk suddenly became energetic. They raised their weapons and shouted at Xiao Dapeng on the horse,
Money and women have always been the favorites of bandits, and are also one of the main purposes of their trip.
The bandits who were shouting happily followed Xiao Dapeng and rushed toward the county town. However, Miyamoto Takego and his Japanese soldiers fell far behind. Xiao Dapeng, who had already focused all his attention on the county town, had no time to care about this.
, just kept urging his bandits to speed up and enter the city. The bodies of Yang Tianlei and the dead horses had already been removed, but the large amount of blood stains left at the scene of the battle could not be covered up. When Xiao Dapeng on horseback discovered the blood stains,
By that time, he and his bandits were less than a hundred meters away from the trenches in Tangcheng.
If it were normal times, Xiao Dapeng would have ordered to stop immediately after discovering a large amount of blood, but at this moment, he was already overwhelmed by the upcoming victory. All he could think about was robbing money and women after entering the city.
Tang Cheng put down the telescope in his hand and grabbed the rifle standing next to him. The bald man on horseback should be the leader of these bandits. Tang Cheng has locked onto him, but he doesn’t know if his marksmanship can
Hit the bald man.
After retreating a little, Tang Cheng slowly seeped the muzzle of his gun out of the trench. Under the cover of weeds, Tang Cheng's muzzle sticking out of the trench was not very conspicuous. It could even be said that it would not be discovered by the opponent at all. After all, Tang Cheng and
The bandits were still dozens of meters away from each other. No one could see a black spot in the weeds from a few dozen meters away. Seeing that Tang Cheng had leveled his rifle, Niu Laogui, who was crouching in the trench, made a gesture.
, a dozen soldiers from the Second Company with excellent arm strength unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, and they were ready to throw the grenade out at any time.
When Xiao Dapeng really noticed the bloodstains on the ground, he had already been targeted by Tang Cheng's gun. Xiao Dapeng initially thought that these bloodstains were left by Yang Tianlei and others when they were chasing the Macheng garrison. And in Xiao Dapeng's telescope, the city gate of Macheng
It was wide open at this time. Xiao Dapeng did not believe that the Macheng garrison could kill all Yang Tianlei's people, so he chose to believe that Yang Tianlei's people had entered the city at this time. But there were only blood stains but no corpses. Xiao Dapeng did not believe that Yang Tianlei would
He changed his temper and helped others collect the corpses, so he took the reins and stopped.
Tang Cheng planned to use grenades to create chaos for the bandits first, and then open fire with machine guns to clear them out. But only now did Tang Cheng realize that he seemed to have made a mistake again, because they were still dozens of meters away from the bandits. His men
It was difficult for these soldiers who were preparing to drop the bomb to throw the grenade such a distance. Tang Cheng, who was secretly annoyed, slowly took back his rifle and squatted down in the trench, "What's going on? The bandits are about to come up in the time it takes to speak." Mr. Niu
Guimao leaned over and looked at Tang Cheng with an inquiring look, but the latter's expression was obviously not very good.
"Grenade, grenades can't be thrown that far." Tang Cheng looked at Niu Laogui with some confusion. Like Tang Cheng, Niu Laogui also had an annoyed look on his face. Apparently he had also ignored this key issue. "Forget it.
Now, go tell the brothers not to throw the grenades, and prepare to open fire directly." Realizing that he was not the only one who ignored this, Tang Cheng felt much better, and then he stood up and picked up the rifle again.
"Pa" Tang Cheng took aim for a while and then pulled the trigger. Xiao Dapeng, who was about to dismount, fell down at the sound, but one of his feet was still in the stirrup. The horse, frightened by the gunshot, started neighing and running.
Xiao Dapeng, whose feet were still hanging in the stirrups and being dragged on the ground, was sometimes thrown up and sometimes dropped like a broken sack. The machine gunners who heard the gunshots in Tangcheng pulled the triggers almost at the same time. As the powerful gunshots rang out, a dense crowd appeared.
Bullets rained down on the bandits who had not yet woken up.
Almost as expected by Tang Cheng, the bandits who suddenly encountered gunfire immediately became confused. There were also a few guys like monkeys who had some prestige among the bandits trying to restrain their bandits. However, in the face of heavy and light machine gun fire, they were just a mob.
The bandits were completely unable to resist. "Koizumi-kun, have you found it?" The moment Xiao Dapeng was shot and fell from his horse, Miyamoto Takego and the others who were following the bandits from a distance fell to the ground. At this time, Miyamoto Takego was
The person Xiang asked about was a Japanese soldier with a camouflage rope attached to his helmet.
The rifle in the hands of this Japanese soldier named Koizumi is longer than the rifle of ordinary Japanese soldiers, and there is a scope on the left side of the gun. This is the famous Type 97 sniper rifle in the Japanese army, and this Japanese soldier named Koizumi
The soldier came from the Kwantung Army, and he was a sniper specially trained by the Kwantung Army. Koizumi slowly moved the rifle, using the scope attached to the rifle to find and lock the opponent's machine gunner, and "popped" Koizumi's shoulder toward
After a slight shock, no gun flame could be seen at all, and the bullet had already come out of the chamber.
Koizumi fired very quickly. In just a blink of an eye, he had already fired three bullets in succession, and the rhythmic shooting sound from the opposite side had already weakened. The three machine gunners were hit by bullets that made the Tangcheng troops
Tangcheng was shocked, and the news Niu Laogui brought back made Tangcheng's heart skip a beat. One of the three machine gunners who was shot was shot in the shoulder. The medical officer of the second company, at Niu Laogui's forcible request, was
The warhead was taken out for him in the trench, and it turned out to be a Japanese-style Arisaka rifle bullet.
"Something is wrong" was Tang Cheng's intuition. When he used a telescope to observe these bandits earlier, he found that most of the weapons they used were made in Hanyang or Mauser rifles. Tang Cheng did not find any bandits at all.
A Japanese 38 rifle appeared in their hands. However, his machine gunner was hit by an Arisaka rifle bullet. This meant that there were Japanese soldiers among the bandits, but he did not see any Japanese soldiers or soldiers in his binoculars.
It is the existence of the 38 rifle.
The machine gunners were still being shot. Even though they had been moving the shooting position according to Tangcheng's requirements, the machine gunners were still shot one after another, and the mortality rate of the machine gunners who were shot was higher than the injury rate.
The bandits who had fired had fled back, leaving dozens of corpses on the bloody battlefield. If the death of the bandit leader Xiao Dapeng was not included, these casualties might be nothing to the bandits who numbered more than 500 people.
"Baga, why are you withdrawing? What you should do is to continue charging. Only charging can defeat their defenses. Only charging can defeat them." The panting monkey retreated along the way they came with the bandits who had luckily escaped.
When I returned, I was scolded by the furious Miyamoto Takego, and several of the shouting bandits were beaten to bloody gourds by the Japanese soldiers under Miyamoto Takego with 38 rifles.
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that?" Tang Cheng had stopped shooting. Tang Cheng, who had been looking around with his binoculars, suddenly stopped. He pointed in front of where the gunshots were heard and turned around to ask Niu Laogui beside him.
"There are more than one group of bandits. They should have some backup. Maybe the gunfire just now was due to internal strife among them." Even so, Tang Cheng still believed in his own judgment.
There are Japanese soldiers hidden among this group of bandits.
"Send someone back to the city to tell Sun Liansheng that there are Japanese soldiers among the bandits and ask him to bring that mortar. I want to use it." Tang Cheng didn't know how his machine gunners were invisible.
The Japanese soldiers hit him, but he knew that without long-range weapons in his hands, he would be at a disadvantage, so he asked Sun Liansheng for the mortar. Besides, the mortar company Sun Liansheng brought with him would be able to manipulate the mortar.
Cannon shooter.
The bandits retreated, and Tangcheng also prevented anyone from sending the wounded and wounded soldiers back to the city. Without his order, no one could put their heads out of the trenches, because all the brave and unlucky ones before were shot in the head and died.
"They have sharpshooters, but I don't know where they are, and I don't know how they can hit our people from such a long distance, but we have to be careful." There was still moisture in the trench with his back.
Tang Cheng lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
The sniper rifle is a weapon that Tang Cheng has never been exposed to. It is not even recorded in Xie Bo's notes, and Liu Yangyang, who is well-informed, has never mentioned it. Therefore, Tang Cheng does not know that there is a sniper rifle in the Japanese army opposite.
Rifle. Tang Cheng didn't know that Miyamoto Takego had a sniper. He was still thinking of countermeasures. He didn't know that Miyamoto Takego was preparing to attack again.
"Xiao Sang is your leader. I think you should avenge him instead of hiding here like a woman." Miyamoto Takego asked Monkey to gather together several of the most prestigious guys among the bandits and personally
Prepare for them before the war. Xiao Dapeng's death was an accident, but it also disrupted his next plan. Judging from the current situation, Yang Tianlei's group of horse bandits may have been defeated. If he wants to take Macheng, he must control
Keep these bandits in front of you.
"The Imperial Japanese Army is trustworthy. Although Xiao Sang is no longer here, the Imperial Japanese Army will definitely do what it promised you. It will take three days to capture Macheng without sealing the sword. As long as you grab it, it will be yours."
And I will report it to the military department to ask for credit for you. As long as Macheng is captured, you will no longer be bandits, but will become members of our Empire of Japan. High officials and generous salaries are waiting for you. Now, please pick up your weapons.
