Chapter Eighty-Six: A Bitter Battle
Da ......, just when Tang Cheng and the others gathered together to count the ammunition and weapons, a string of bullets suddenly shot from a house next to the street, and the unprepared national army was knocked down, Liu Goat dragged Tang Cheng's collar vigorously to the back of a sandbag bunker, and he didn't forget to pull the backpack with bullets while crawling. This should be the sound of a Japanese-style light machine gun when firing normally, and a veteran like Liu Goat can hear the model of the gun by making his ears, and Tang Cheng does not have this ability now.
The exhausted Tang Cheng was protected by Liu Goat, and the smell of gunpowder smoke wafting in the air made Tang Cheng look a little dazed, if it wasn't for Liu Goat who grabbed his collar in time just now, Tang Cheng might be the next to be shot and fall to the ground. Liu Goat slowly poked his head out and looked cautiously left and right, there was not even a single figure in the street outside the sandbag bunker, and the national soldiers who had gathered together just now had already scattered and hid in the fortifications or the ruins of dilapidated houses on the side of the street.
The gunshots were still ringing, and Liu Goat glanced in the direction of the gunshots, but saw a large stream of thin white smoke drifting in front of the building. Before he had time to figure it out, Liu Goat retracted his head again. There are only two people left under him, Tang Cheng and Jiujin, those guys from the Sichuan army will definitely not join the second company, there is the national army here, so he can't pick this head, so Liu Goat plans to hide in this bunker and wait, waiting for the guys who just fought with the Japanese army to continue to fight with the Japanese army.
"They are all from the 156th Division." Tang Cheng turned his head to look at Liu Goat, but he got such an answer, and saw the Mauser rifle in Jiujin's hand along Liu Goat's line of sight, and Tang Cheng understood what Liu Goat meant by what he said just now. Liu Goat has just robbed the weapons and ammunition of the guys of the 156th Division, and now the guys at this street corner are also from the 156th Division, Liu Goat is afraid that these guys from the 156th Division will find an account, rather than hiding here and worrying, it is better to take advantage of the chaos after the people of the 156th Division and the Japanese army open fire for a while.
Maybe the people of the 156th Division had the same idea as Liu Goat, all of them hid in their respective hiding places and no one moved, and after several minutes, Liu Goat never heard the expected gunshot, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. After a few glances left and right, Liu Goat took the flower mechanism and maintained a posture of bending over and looking straight ahead, half-squatted up, and shouted at Tang Cheng to follow me, and then the cat's waist rushed out of the cover and ran towards the rubble on the right side of the road.
Seeing that Liu Goat had appeared, the national troops hiding at the corner of the street also opened fire one after another to attract the attention of the Japanese light machine guns, and the gunfire between the two sides gradually began to intensify, scolding Liu Goat angrily for not paying attention to the gang of the 156th Division. Tang Cheng didn't have his two shell guns this time, and the bullets were gone, and carrying them on his body would only increase the burden, so it was better to go into battle lightly and only carry the flower mechanism.
Turning over the rubble, Tang Cheng followed Liu Goat in the direction of the gunshot, the sound of the boom was like a New Year's salute fireworks, Tang Cheng suddenly remembered the scene of his childhood, every Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, the lonely and boring Tang Cheng can only lie on the balcony to watch others set off fireworks, and some of the rising heights or burning in the distance will be blocked by the house in front, and only the flashing colored light can be seen.
Tang Cheng turned his head without slowing down, and looked through the broken windows into the street. Just now, he was hiding behind the sandbag bunker, and he didn't directly see the gunfire because of the block of the street corner house, but now Tang Cheng followed Liu Goat to the back of the street ruins, and the gunfire of the Japanese light machine gun in the distance also entered his sight.
Putting away his slightly distracted thoughts, Tang Cheng turned his gaze back to the front, and in just a few tens of seconds, he and Liu Goat had already bypassed the back of the street and touched the bottom of the western-style building that was flashing with gunfire. The deafening roar of "boom" was accompanied by a blazing flash from the front, Tang Cheng, who was squatting behind Liu Goat, subconsciously closed his mouth and closed his eyes, not allowing Tang Cheng to think too much, and then there was a gunfire like fried beans on the porch, which sounded very familiar, and then he heard a chaotic shout, both Japanese and Chinese.
Worst! Tang Cheng's eyes widened when he heard it, there must have been other national troops fighting with the Japanese soldiers inside, "Let's go" A few words burst out of Liu Goat's throat, and the depression hidden in his voice made Tang Cheng feel pressured. God forbid, Tang Cheng thought in his heart as he picked up the flower trap in his hand, raised his gun and looked into the already broken gate, thick gunsmoke poured out from a curved porch in front, judging from the internal structure of this building, there should be a slightly smaller side hall on the side of the porch.
In less than ten seconds of this time, the sound from upstairs changed again, and Tang Cheng heard someone upstairs say in Japanese to kill them, followed by a continuous sound of gunshots and heavy objects falling to the ground. Recklessness does not belong to Liu Goat's character, between the lightning and flint, Liu Goat turned his head and glanced at the stairs inside the door at a very fast speed, although the stairs have become a little broken, but they can barely lead to the upper floor.
Before rushing into this building, Liu Goat deliberately made a slight and quick movement to raise his head, and there was something similar to a newspaper antenna sticking out of the window on the second floor. So, Liu Shanyang instantly firmly believed that he must control the whole building, having an antenna means that there will be a Japanese radio station on it, maybe this is also a headquarters of the Japanese army entering the city, and it may be possible to kill or capture the officers of the Japanese army.
Liu Goat, who had made up his mind, strode forward with a submachine gun in his hand, and Tang Cheng also rushed into the building, and through the thin smoke of gunpowder in the foyer, Tang Cheng could see the corpses lying everywhere with the naked eye. With the sensitive reaction honed in the harsh battle, Liu Goat, who was walking in front, turned around, held the gun, and aimed as quickly as possible, and "da-da" first swept a shuttle of bullets at the junction of the stairs and the second floor.
Tang Cheng subconsciously aimed his gun at the stairs, and just when Tang Cheng hia didn't pull the trigger, a series of light spots that looked denser than ordinary submachine gun bullets suddenly came down from the staircase, through the empty hall and hit the wall, suddenly shaking up a large amount of dust, and the crisp sound of da-da-da followed, and the clear gunfire made Tang Cheng's sweat stand on end.
Because he was almost shot, Tang Cheng was particularly resentful and swept in the direction where the bullet came, and at a distance of less than ten meters, the scattered bullets actually penetrated the wooden floor and rushed into the second floor without exception. A thin figure rolled down the stairs from the second floor, and the bloodstained military uniform showed that he had been hit by a bullet fired by Tang Cheng, but a wooden-handled grenade that rolled out of his arms made Liu Goat and Tang Cheng dumbfounded.
Liu Goat and Tang Cheng's next movements were almost identical, showing that they quickly dodged to the side, and then ran to the side with their heads in panic and fear, stumbling under their feet and stumbling on debris, Liu Goat and Tang Cheng both fell down in the hallway. "Boom" Tang Cheng bowed slightly, opening his mouth wide to reduce the impact of the close-range explosion on the eardrum, but the location of the grenade explosion may be less than five meters, and the huge sound wave still shook Tang Cheng's ear holes.
"Rush upstairs!" Liu Goat, who was also embarrassed, shouted in his mouth, and the person had already climbed up with his hands and feet, and rushed to the stairs desperately. In times of crisis, human nerves are often like springs under heavy pressure, and once they have the opportunity to release, they will exert an ordinary sensitive response. Seeing Liu Goat's figure rushing up the stairs in front of him, Tang Cheng was relieved and grateful, praying in his heart that Liu Goat would not be dead in front of him.
Almost stepping on the shouts of Liu goats, Tang Cheng, who reacted super quickly, had already climbed the stairs to the top of the air, and only waited for his head and shoulders to rise to the second floor, that is, he turned around and put the muzzle of the gun in the empty space between the railings on the floor, and pulled the trigger according to the outline of the figure that appeared in his sight. The sudden battle was like a pot of boiling water, churning so fiercely that not only did there be no gap, but there were also a series of explosions, which were transmitted through the echoes of the four walls of the hall and appeared extremely loud.
The gang of the 156th Division on the position at the entrance of the street in the distance also heard it, but they did not follow Liu Shanyang and Tang Cheng to attack the western-style building occupied by the Japanese army, so they didn't know what was going on in Lu Dao. Liu Goat and Tang Cheng leaned on the stairs ** to shoot at the 2nd floor, and in the dim light on the 2nd floor because of the gunsmoke, the scattered liquid could not be seen to be viscous or thin at all, but the smell of blood in the air was extremely heavy.
In the case of a surprise attack, the Japanese soldiers on the second floor could only resist desperately, and the dark red bullet slashed through the air, hitting the wooden staircase railing on Tang Cheng's side, and the flying wooden thorns caused the severe pain in Tang Cheng's body to have an overelectric effect, Tang Cheng's head tilted back in an exaggerated degree and posture, and his body remained almost upright in an extremely obvious and violent tremor.
The coherent dark red points of light were like the sharp teeth of a deadly viper, which made people avoid them, and seeing that the trajectory of these points of light was rapidly depressing, Tang Cheng had to follow Liu Goat and retract his head. "Grenades, are there any more grenades?" Liu Goat shouted at Tang Cheng a little hysterically, shouted twice in succession, and finally heard what he said clearly, Tang Cheng took out a wooden-handled grenade from his back waist and handed it to Liu Goat.
Leaning on the railing of the stairs with his back to the staircase, he unscrewed the back cover of the wooden-handled grenade with extremely swift movements, pulled open the pull ring on top of the bullet body, and waited for two seconds before turning sideways and throwing it to the second floor where the gunfire was roaring. The deafening roar of "boom" was accompanied by a blazing flash of light on the second floor, and the suffocating thick smoke rolled from the staircase to Liu Goat and Tang Cheng.
