The Japanese mortars kept firing, and the shells roared in the sky and landed near the top of the wall, exploding into puffs of smoke and fire.
The soldiers on the wall have all withdrawn. When the Japanese shelled, our own people would not come up, because at that time the artillery shells were indiscriminate attacks, and coming up would only increase casualties in vain.
After the bombardment, the Japanese infantry will swarm over.
Because of this, when the Japs were shelling the wall, Zheng Xiao withdrew all the special forces members and hunters into the yard. At this time, they were all leaning against the wall, closing their eyes to rest.
This position is very safe. The enemy's artillery shells will fall farther away, and they will not be able to explode if they are close to the wall.
Zheng Xiao squatted under the wall, holding a brick on the ground and calculating the battle plan, hoping to find a loophole for the Japanese to escape.
Unfortunately, several plans were considered, but they were all rejected in the end because the Japanese were too strict and could not find any weak links.
This shows that among the Japanese, there must be a clever opponent directing the battle. This guy is thoughtful and experienced, and has designed the encirclement to be watertight.
Normally, Zheng Xiao would like to have such an opponent so that he can hone his skills and tactics, but now, he doesn't want to have such a powerful opponent, because it means that the possibility of them breaking through will be greatly reduced.
The Japanese bombardment stopped. Zheng Xiao knew that the Japanese attack was about to begin. He jumped up from the ground, grabbed the Sanba Gai beside him, and shouted, "Follow me." He was the first to climb onto the wall.
From the time he traveled to the present, most of the weapons, equipment and bullets he brought have been consumed, and the remaining quantity is limited. Zheng Xiao must keep some of them for emergencies, so he can only use the weapons captured from the Japs.
38 rifle.
As soon as he climbed onto the wall, Zheng Xiao discovered that the Japanese troops had already assembled and were heading here.
Zheng Xiao placed the rifle behind the crenels on the wall, turned around and shouted, "Calm down, wait until the Japanese get closer."
The style of the ancestral hall is completely in the shape of a reduced city. The walls on both sides are three meters high and two meters wide. Two people can pass each other on it. There are crenels on the outside side, which are used for fighting.
The soldiers lay down behind the crenel, then raised their guns and waited for the enemy to come.
Sure enough, after the Japanese assigned their teams, they rushed forward in a sneaky manner, shooting as they walked, with machine guns behind them providing cover and suppressing fire.
Being frightened by the snipers of the special forces, the Japanese machine gunners have now withdrawn to the edge of the woods. This has caused their shooting range to be too long, the power of firepower has been greatly reduced, and they are no longer a threat to the special forces.
However, the machine guns mounted on the wall by the special forces were not simple. They had powerful firepower, fast firing rate, and long range. The Japanese were beaten until they were running around in panic.
Just like that, the two sides exchanged fire again, and the rain of bullets once again enveloped the space outside the ancestral hall.
There are gunshots everywhere, shouts everywhere, and the whizzing sound of bullets flying everywhere. All of these seem to have become part of the hell of death, causing more and more people to be drawn into the hell.
The open space in front of the ancestral hall seems to have turned into a meat grinder. No matter how many people rush over, they will die here. No one can rush past the steps of the ancestral hall, even if they are only one step away from the steps, they will be strangled in the end.
In front of the steps.
Everything lost order at this moment. Kindness, kindness, and compassion all disappeared to nowhere. Cruelty, coldness, ferocity, and violence ruled the world. People seemed to have returned to the most primitive way.
The animal nature has turned into a beast that only knows how to fight.
At this moment, only by fighting can we survive, only by fighting can we have the chance to become human again, and only by fighting can we see the rising sun tomorrow morning.
Zheng Xiao had lost track of time. He didn't know how long he had been fighting or how many people he had killed. He only knew that the rifle in his hand was already his third. The first two had been completely scrapped due to the high-intensity shooting.
The method has been improved, and this machine has almost reached its limit of use.
Finally, the gunfire stopped, the Japanese retreated like a tide, the square became quiet again, and Zheng Xiao and the others were able to take a breather.
This battle is really terrifying. No matter how brave you are, you will get tired sometimes.
Dragging his tired body, Zheng Xiao jumped down from the wall, and then ordered people to go out to clean the battlefield while walking towards the main hall. He wanted to see if the old people found anything.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the main hall, Zheng Xiao bumped into Zhuge Yaomei who came out from inside. He hurriedly reached out to support her who almost fell, "Yaomei, what's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Zheng Xiao, Zhuge Yaomei's face suddenly turned red. He had run too fast just now, but he immediately fell into Zheng Xiao's arms. If he hadn't helped her, she would have made a very exaggerated statement.
The action fell to the ground.
Lost in thought, Zhuge Yaomei completely forgot about Zheng Xiao's inquiry. It wasn't until he asked the second time that Zhuge Yaomei woke up from her daze and hurriedly replied, "Brother Zheng, what did my father and the others find? Please tell me."
Go over and take a look.”
Zheng Xiao didn't know what happened, so he hummed and followed Zhuge Yaomei towards the main hall. He was so focused on his thoughts that he didn't notice that Zhuge Yaomei's face was already as red as an apple.
In the main hall, many old people gathered around the statue. They seemed to have discovered something and were discussing and arguing. It was rare for these people to have such good interest and energy in such an environment.
"Old man, what happened? Why are everyone talking so much?" Zheng Xiao walked over with a smile and came to everyone.
Seeing that it was Zheng Xiao who was coming, everyone stepped aside. Zhuge Zhou stood in the back and waved to him, "Captain Zheng, come quickly, there's something going on."
Zheng Xiao walked in through the passage that people had left and came closer. He looked up and found that Zhuge Zhou had climbed onto the stone platform at some point and was squatting in front of the statue of Zhuge Wuhou, staring at something.
Following his wave, Zhuge Zhou asked him to go up to the stone platform, so Zheng Xiao also went up to the stone platform and came to Zhuge Zhou's side, "Old man, what's the deal?"
Zhuge Zhou pointed at the stone box and asked Zheng Xiao, "Look at this thing, does it look a little abnormal?"
Zheng Xiao looked down when he heard the sound and found that there seemed to be a crack on the edge of the stone box. He didn't know whether it was shaken by the shells or weathered by the years. So he nodded, "There is a crack here."
Zhuge Zhou exclaimed happily, "Hey, it seems that I am not old and foolish, and my eyesight is not dazzled."
The other people under the stone platform all showed excited expressions and moved forward one by one.
Zhuge Zhou gestured to Zheng Xiao, then stretched out his hand to his younger brother Zhuge Feng, "A Feng, hammer."
Zhuge Feng immediately handed the big hammer he used to make iron to his brother.
Zhuge Zhou took the big hammer in his hand, spat into his palm, then picked up the hammer and smashed it towards the stone box.
There was a loud bang, and the stone box fell apart. Something rolled out and fell to the ground with a clang.
Someone picked up the thing and handed it to Zhuge Zhou. Only then did he realize that it was a shiny metal box. As for what kind of metal it was, he didn't know.
Zhuge Zhou cautiously stretched out his hand to open the lid of the box, only to find that it was locked and he couldn't open it at all. As for the key, he didn't know where it was, which made him depressed all of a sudden.
This metal is so hard that even his machete can only make shallow white marks but cannot cut through it.
After struggling for a while, Zhuge Zhou was speechless and threw the box on the stone platform, "Granny, this ancestor is so perverted."
Zheng Xiao had been watching from the side, and now he opened his mouth and said, "Old man, can I try?"
Of course Zhuge Zhou and the others had no objection, so Zheng Xiao picked up the box, took out two thin metal wires from his backpack, and then started to unlock it.
Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that three minutes were up, there was still no progress on Zheng Xiao's side. Zhuge Zhou was immediately discouraged, "Grandma, what the hell is this?"
At this moment, a crisp clicking sound came from Zheng Xiao's hand, and the next moment the lid of the metal box bounced up and opened.
Zhuge Zhou was overjoyed. He snatched the box from Zheng Xiao's hand and hurriedly looked inside. He found that there was a piece of brocade silk inside, and there was nothing else.
Taking the piece of brocade silk, Zhuge Zhou looked at it at a glance. There were beautiful seal scripts on it. Fortunately, the head of the mountain village had to learn seal script every generation, so he could understand the meaning on it.
After reading it, Zhuge Zhou burst into tears and excitedly wiped the snot flowing to his mouth, "Ancestor, you are simply amazing."
