Chapter 105: City Battle (2)
It was still far away from Shuixi Gate, and Lu Yuan had already discovered the existence of the Japanese army from the all-view map, perhaps because the siege battles in the past few days had consumed too much combat power of the Japanese army, and after nightfall, the Japanese army, which had already occupied an absolute advantage, chose to suspend and rest instead of occupying the whole city. In the area near the city gate, you can see the shops that have been smashed open by the Japanese army, and unlike the defending army of the city, the Japanese army that is attacking like a rainbow has a shortage of supplies, so they will hit all their forces to attack Nanjing.
The invasion of the city of Nanjing meant obtaining a large amount of supplies, and with these materials, the Japanese troops attacking Nanjing would not have the possibility of having to retreat in large strides because of the lack of supplies. Lu Yuan moved forward cautiously, and only three or four hundred meters away from him, a group of Japanese soldiers were sitting together, baking the food they found from the surrounding shops on a bonfire. Lu Yuan, who was located downwind, did not smell the fragrance of food, Lu Yuan pursed his lips secretly, thinking that it was because the Japanese soldiers who baked the food were too poor.
With the help of the cover of night, Lu Yuan quickly moved forward for a distance of fifty or sixty meters, and on his full-view map, there were at least a dozen Japanese troops around here, and Lu Yuan's scalp was numb when he saw the dense red dots on the full-view map. More than a dozen small units of the Japanese army with a size of 100 people, summed together, were at least the size of the Japanese army's medium and large brigade level, and Lu Yuan had no choice but to retreat back little by little according to the original path.
"If we can't fight, the Japanese army in front of us will have at least one brigade of troops, and we can't do it alone." Lu Yuan, who was slowly retreating, shook his head at the others, but his head was thinking quickly, even if he couldn't fight, he would at least have to make some trouble for those Japanese soldiers, so that they would know that breaking through the city gate was just the beginning. "Platoon Commander Liu, do you remember where the shop we passed by to buy paint was?" After a while, Lu Yuan suddenly asked the lieutenant officer.
Liu Baotian, who was asked by Lu Yuan, was stunned for a moment, and then after thinking about it for more than ten seconds, he nodded at Lu Yuan and said, "Remember, it's about 2 miles away from here, and I remember that I also marked the door of that store according to your instructions." ”
Liu Baotian's answer made Lu Yuan excited, "In this way, you bring a few people over and try to get more paint from the store, and I'll take the rest of the people around here to see if I can get some oil and sugar." Lu Yuan divided the people into two groups, and he took a few people to look for suitable supplies around, while Liu Baotian took most of the other people back the same way and went to the paint shop to carry the paint.
"Smash it open, and be careful not to make too much of the movement." Although Lu Yuan had already searched the surroundings with a full-view map, he still deliberately told those who followed him to be cautious. As far as everyone could see, all the houses with intact doors and windows were broken into by Lu Yuan, but everything that Lu Yuan thought was useful was all moved out, and in one of the shops with intact doors and windows, Lu Yuan not only found the kerosene he was looking for, but also found a large bag of sugar.
Pouring paint, kerosene, and sugar into the kettles, and then tying a wooden-handled grenade to each kettle, Lu Yuan quickly made a dozen humble incendiary bombs. After some busyness, Lu Yuan took Liu Baotian and the others back to the place where they had just retreated, and planted the dozen or so incendiary bombs in the ruins on the side of the street. "Okay, I'll leave the rest to me, and you will withdraw one after another." After arranging everything, Lu Yuan ordered Liu Baotian and others to retreat first, and the matter of luring the Japanese army to surrender could only be done by himself.
Liu Baotian and the others were a little reluctant at first, but they didn't have the same good skills as Lu Yuan, so they had to leave here first according to Lu Yuan's orders. After confirming that Liu Baotian and the others had withdrawn enough distance on the all-view map, Lu Yuan first took out the silencer from the storage space and installed it on the rifle, and then checked the magazine on his body before slowly moving forward. The Japanese army, who did not know that the danger was slowly approaching, did not notice Lu Yuan's appearance at all, and when he moved to the nearest group of Japanese troops less than 100 meters, Lu Yuan finally stopped.
Lu Yuan slowly leveled the rifle in his hand, and with the help of the cover of the bonfire, he put the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who was mixed in a pile of ordinary soldiers into the scope. After taking a deep breath to stabilize his movements, Lu Yuan immediately pulled the trigger of the rifle without the slightest pause, and the Japanese soldier Shaozuo who was dozens of meters away immediately leaned over and fell into the arms of a Japanese soldier next to him. "Poof", "poof", "poof"..., Lu Yuan, who had won the blow, instantly became excited, and then pulled the trigger of the rifle with his fingers again and again, and before the group of Japanese soldiers could fully react, he shot out most of the bullets in the magazine.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." The young officer was killed by Lu Yuan and fell crookedly in the arms of the Japanese soldiers next to him, and the Japanese soldiers sitting around the bonfire thought that this was a joke made by their own squad leader, but what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. The crooked Shaozo not only got up immediately, but several people in the crowd sitting around immediately leaned to the side, and the faint smell of blood in the air could not escape the noses of some Japanese veterans.
"Poof" "Poof"..., Lu Yuan didn't move his position immediately, but continued to shoot until all the remaining bullets in the magazine were fired. The sound of the empty gun hanging up sounded, and Lu Yuan quickly got up and left, rushing to the next firing position that he had already been optimistic about. didn't calculate how many Japanese soldiers he had shot, Lu Yuan, who had already emptied three magazines, just quickly switched his firing position, and after the Japanese began to shoot back, Lu Yuan took off the silencer on the rifle.
"Pap" "Pap" Lu Yuan, who was squatting on the edge of a pile of ruins, fired a double shot, and the dazzling gunfire in the night instantly exposed Lu Yuan's position to the Japanese army who was looking for the attacker, and a few seconds later, several grenadier grenades fired by the Japanese army smashed over, but Lu Yuan had already left this position. "Pap" "Pap" Lu Yuan continued to attract the attention of the Japanese army with two consecutive shots, but every time he fired two shots, he would immediately move his position, otherwise he would be hit by a grenade grenade from the Japanese army.
Lu Yuan slowly led several Japanese troops together, and then retreated towards the trap he had arranged, and found that the attackers had retreated, and the extremely angry Japanese army chased after them desperately, which was exactly what Lu Yuan wanted. Snap, Lu Yuan turned around and fired two more shots, not caring whether he hit the target or not, and strode along the side of the street. When passing the mark he had reserved in advance, Lu Yuan turned around, and suddenly squatted under a broken wall.
Leaning sideways against the broken wall, Lu Yuan quickly changed the magazine, and when he carefully searched his surroundings with a full-view map, and found that most of the Japanese troops were concentrated in front of him, Lu Yuan smiled very happily. Under the cover of several light machine guns, about 20 Japanese soldiers pressed down the street towards Lu Yuan.
The night provided a good cover for Lu Yuan, and it would also provide cover for the Japanese army, but the Japanese army did not know that Lu Yuan had a cheat of a full-view map, and with the help of the full-view map, the Japanese army who tried to also use the night as a cover could not take advantage of it at all. The bullet casings with temperature continued to swirl and fall in mid-air, and Lu Yuan had already changed several magazines in a row, but none of the Japanese soldiers who were covering each other could attack Lu Yuan.
"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese army who was intercepted here by Lu Yuan was really annoyed, not only did they use grenadiers, but even two mortars were transferred, if it weren't for the strange and tricky position Lu Yuan chose, they might have been torn to pieces by the mortar shells from the Japanese army. "Phew, damn guys." Once again, he was hit by the air wave of the cannonball, and Lu Yuan spat out the crumbs of dirt in his mouth while scolding in a low voice towards the Japanese army.
For a full five minutes, Lu Yuan intercepted hundreds of Japanese soldiers here alone for five minutes, and even if the Japanese troops on the opposite side used light machine guns and mortars, they never really hurt Lu Yuan. Smack, Lu Yuan also shot the last bullet in the magazine, and after replacing the new magazine, Lu Yuan quickly retreated with his rifle, because on his two wings, small red dots representing the Japanese army had appeared.
20 meters, Lu Yuan only retreated back about 20 meters before stopping again. Lu Yuan, who stopped again, did not continue shooting, but quietly crouched behind the cover, his eyes fixed on the street in front of him. "Boom" A fireball suddenly rose from the Japanese army that was rapidly advancing forward, and unlike the grenade explosions that the Japanese army had encountered in the past, this sudden fire burst in an instant, and countless sparks splashed away, but all the objects attached to those sparks quickly burned.
The Japanese scattered in the streets to escape the sparks, but soon discovered that doing so would put them in greater danger. "Boom", "boom"..., more explosions soon appeared in the streets, and the sparks that flew with the explosions were as dense as raindrops, making these Japanese soldiers unable to dodge and unavoidable. A scorching smell soon appeared in the air, but no matter how the Japanese soldiers on fire tried to extinguish it, they could not extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Lu Yuan, who was hidden in the shadows, watched quietly for a while, and then used a grenade to arrange some trick mines, and then quietly left. "Go, follow me, let's go kick their ass." After converging with Liu Baotian and them, Lu Yuan took Liu Baotian and them around non-stop to hide on the flanks of those Japanese troops. Lu Yuan was waiting for an opportunity, a suitable opportunity to attack, and once those Japanese troops slackened, it was the best time for them to attack.
