Chapter 47: Weird

"Brothers, Macheng is right in front of you, those bastards from Qingfeng Hall have already entered the city, now it's time for us to enter the city, enter the city, grab money, grab women, grab land." Xiao Dapeng, who was sitting on horseback, straightened up with his feet on the horse, and shouted loudly. The bandits, who were still panting and looking at themselves who were about to be unable to walk, suddenly came to their senses, and raised their weapons and shouted at Xiao Dapeng on horseback, money and women have always been the bandits' favorite, and they are also one of the main purposes of their trip.

The roaring bandits followed Xiao Dapeng's horse and hurried in the direction of the county seat, but Miyamoto Takego took his Japanese soldiers to fall far behind, Xiao Dapeng, who had already focused all his thoughts on the county seat, had no time to take care of these, but kept urging his bandits to speed up and enter the city. Yang Tianlei's corpses and the dead horses had already been removed, but the large amount of blood left at the battle scene could not be concealed, and when Xiao Dapeng on horseback found those blood stains, he and his bandits were less than 100 meters away from the trenches in Tang City.

If it was normal times, Xiao Dapeng, who found a large amount of bloodstains, would definitely order to stop advancing immediately, but this time he was already carried away by the upcoming victory, and his mind only thought about robbing money and women after entering the city. Tang Cheng put down the binoculars in his hand and grabbed the rifle standing beside him in his hand, the bald man on horseback should be the leader of these bandits, Tang Cheng had already locked him, but he didn't know if his marksmanship could hit the bald man.

Retreating a little, Tang Cheng slowly seeped out of the trench with the muzzle, under the cover of the weeds, Tang Cheng's muzzle sticking out of the trench was not very conspicuous, and it could even be said that it would not be discovered by the other party at all, after all, Tang Cheng and those bandits were still dozens of meters away, and no one could see a black spot in the weeds dozens of meters away. Seeing that Tang Cheng had already flattened his rifle, Niu Laogui, who was crouching in the trench, made a gesture, and more than a dozen soldiers of the second company with excellent arm strength unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, and they were ready to throw the grenade at any time.

When Xiao Dapeng really noticed the bloodstains on the ground, he had already been aimed at Tang Cheng's gun, Xiao Dapeng initially thought that these bloodstains were left by Yang Tianlei and them when they were chasing and killing the Macheng garrison. And in Xiao Dapeng's telescope, the gate of Macheng was wide open at this time, Xiao Dapeng didn't 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 was only blood but no corpse here, Xiao Dapeng didn't believe that Yang Tianlei would change his personality and help people collect corpses, so he took the reins and stopped.

Tang Cheng planned to create chaos for the bandits with grenades first, and then machine gun fire to clear them, but when Tang Cheng arrived, he found that he seemed to be wrong again, because they were still dozens of meters away from the bandits, and it was difficult for the soldiers under his command to throw grenades at such a distance. Tang Cheng, who was secretly annoyed in his heart, slowly withdrew his rifle and squatted down in the trench, "What's wrong?" Kung Fu to speak, the bandits are about to come up. Niu Lao Guimao leaned over and looked at Tang Cheng with an inquiring expression, and the latter's face was obviously not very good.

"Grenades, grenades can't be thrown that far." Tang Cheng looked at Niu Laogui with some blankness, like Tang Cheng, Niu Laogui was also annoyed, obviously he also ignored this key issue. "Forget it, go tell the brethren not to throw grenades, and get ready to open fire." Realizing that he was not the only one who ignored this matter, Tang Cheng's heart felt a lot better, and he immediately got up and picked up his rifle again.

"Bang" Tang Cheng took a look for a while and pulled the trigger, Xiao Dapeng, who was about to dismount, fell down in response, but one of his feet was still in the stirrup at this time, and the horses that were startled by the gunfire neighed and ran, and Xiao Dapeng, whose feet were still hanging in the stirrups and was dragged on the ground, was thrown up and dropped like a broken sack. The machine gunners who heard the gunfire in Tang City pulled the trigger almost simultaneously, and as the powerful gunfire rang out, a dense raindown of bullets rained down on the bandits who had not yet woken up.

It was almost the same as Tang Cheng expected, the bandits who suddenly encountered gunfire immediately messed up, and there were also a few guys like monkeys who had some prestige among the bandits who were trying to restrain the bandits under them, but in the face of light and heavy machine gun fire, the bandits of the rabble were powerless to resist at all. "Koizumi-kun, did you find it?" The moment Xiao Dapeng was shot and fell off his horse, Miyamoto Takego, who was far behind the bandits, they all lay on the ground, and at this time, Miyamoto Takego was asked about a Japanese soldier with a camouflage net rope on his steel helmet.

The rifle in the hand of this Japanese soldier named Koizumi is longer than the rifle of ordinary Japanese soldiers, and there is also a scope on the left side of the bolt, which is the famous Type 97 sniper rifle in the Japanese army, and this Japanese soldier named Koizumi is from the Kwantung Army, and he is a sniper specially trained by the Kwantung Army. Koizumi slowly moved the rifle, using the scope attached to the rifle to find and lock on to the opponent's machine gunner, "snap" Koizumi's shoulder shook back slightly, and the gun flame was not visible at all, and the bullet was already out of the chamber.

Koizumi fired very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already fired three bullets in succession, and the rhythmic sound of shooting on the opposite side had weakened. The bullets of the three machine gunners shocked Tang Cheng, and the news that Niu Laogui brought back made Tang Cheng's heart skip a beat. One of the three machine gunners was shot in the shoulder, and the medical officer of the second company took out the bullet for him in the trench at Niu Laogui's forced request, and it turned out that it was a Japanese-style Arisaka rifle cartridge.

"Something is wrong" This is Tang Cheng's intuition, when he used a telescope to observe these bandits, he found that most of the weapons they used were made in Hanyang or Mauser rifles, and Tang Cheng did not find that the bandits had Japanese 38 rifles in their hands. However, his machine gunner was hit by a rifle bullet, which means that there were Japanese soldiers mixed with the bandits, but he did not see the presence of Japanese soldiers or 38 rifles in the binoculars.

The Heavy continued to be shot, even though they had been constantly moving their firing positions according to Tang Cheng's requirements, but the Machine Gunners were still being shot one after another, and the fatality rate of the machine-gunners was higher than the injury rate. The bandits who had been strafed by machine gun fire had already fled, leaving dozens of corpses on the bloodstained battlefield, and if the death of the bandit leader Xiao Dapeng was not counted, this casualty might not be anything to the bandits with more than 500 people.

"Baga, why did you withdraw for Lu? What you have to do is to keep charging, only charging can break their defenses, only charging can defeat them. The panting monkey retreated back with the bandits who had escaped the catastrophe according to the way they came, but was scolded by the furious Miyamoto Takego with a stinking face, and several shouting bandits were beaten into blood gourds by the Japanese soldiers under Miyamoto Takego with 38 rifles.

"Do you hear that? Did you hear that? Tang Cheng had stopped shooting here, but Tang Cheng, who had been looking around with a telescope, suddenly stopped his movements, pointed to the front of the gunshot, turned his head and asked Niu Laogui beside him. There is more than one wave of this gang of bandits, and they should have left their hands behind, maybe the gunfire just now was an infighting among them. Having said that, Tang Cheng still believed in his own judgment, this gang of bandits was hiding Japanese soldiers.

"Send someone back to the city to tell Sun Liansheng that there are Japanese soldiers among the bandits, and tell him to bring the mortar, I will use it." Tang Cheng didn't know how the machine gunners under Lu Dao were hit by the invisible Japanese soldiers, but he knew that Lu Dao would inevitably lose the upper hand if he didn't have a long-range weapon in his hand, so he opened his mouth to ask Sun Liansheng for the mortar, and besides, there were people in the national army company that Sun Liansheng brought who could fiddle with mortars.

The bandits retreated, and Tang Cheng also prevented the men from sending the casualties back to the city, and no one could stick their heads out of the trenches without his orders, because the few brave and unlucky ones before were all shot in the head and died. "They have sharpshooters, but I don't know where they are, or how they managed to hit our men from such a distance, but we have to be careful." Leaning against the damp earth wall in the trenches, Tang Cheng lowered his head and smoked a cigarette, thinking of countermeasures in his head.

The sniper rifle was a weapon that Tang Cheng had never touched, and even Xie Bo's notes did not record it, and the well-informed Liu Goat never mentioned it, so Tang Cheng did not know that there was a sniper rifle in the Japanese army on the other side of the road. Tang Cheng didn't know that Miyamoto Takego had a sniper in his hand, and he was still thinking about countermeasures, he didn't know that Miyamoto Takego was already 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 the monkey to gather a few of the bandits with some prestige and personally prepare them for the battle. Xiao Dapeng's death was an accident, but it also disrupted his next arrangement, as far as the current situation is concerned, Yang Tianlei's gang of horse bandits may have been defeated, and if he wants to take Macheng, he must control these bandits in front of him.

"The prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army is trustworthy, although Xiao Sang is no longer there, but the Imperial Japanese Army will definitely do what it promised you. Defeat Macheng for three days without sealing the knife, as long as you grab the hand is yours, and I will also report to the military department to ask for credit for you, as long as Macheng is defeated, you will no longer be bandits, but will become a member of our Japanese Empire, high-ranking officials are waiting for you, now, please pick up your weapons to break through their defenses. ”
