Chapter 107: City Battle (4)
The war was very beneficial to Lu Yuan, while shooting and killing Japanese soldiers one after another, Lu Yuan neglected the most important thing, they had wasted too much time on these Japanese soldiers, and it was enough for Japanese troops from other directions to come to the rescue. Two explosions of "boom" and "boom" broke out in the street, and two of the three light machine guns that had been strafing the Japanese troops immediately fell silent, and the grenadiers who followed Liu Baotian also suffered more than half of the casualties.
The sudden change in front of him made Lu Yuan on the pile of bricks and stones stunned, and a few seconds later, Lu Yuan reacted, and on the all-view map, a large number of Japanese soldiers appeared behind them. "Boom" "Boom" The Japanese mortars continued to fire, and the streets were filled with flames and dust, and several Nationalist soldiers fell to the rubble screaming. "Retreat, retreat, the Japanese have come to reinforcements." Lu Yuan quickly shot out all the remaining bullets in the magazine, then quickly jumped down from the pile of bricks and stones, and shouted loudly at Liu Baotian and the others.
The sudden change in the situation had already blinded Liu Baotian and others, and seeing the robes around him fall in a pool of blood one by one, Liu Baotian, whose eyes were full of bloodshots, still fought to the death. "Dadada, Dada" Liu Baotian, who was bleeding from his shoulder, pushed away the last remaining machine gunner and took the light machine gun for himself. "Let's go, you guys go quickly." Liu Baotian, whose body couldn't stop shaking with the shot, shouted loudly without looking back, and Yu Dapeng didn't know what to do for a while.
"Boom" "Boom" Lu Yuan continuously threw a grenade at the Japanese soldiers who appeared behind him, and then used the explosion of the grenade as a cover, quickly retreated into the shadows on the side of the street, and then pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction of the Japanese army, waiting for the Japanese machine gunner or grenadier to appear. The situation was far more severe than Lu Yuan expected, they had been delayed here for too long, and almost all the Japanese troops around here surrounded them, numbering at least more than 400 people.
If it was broad daylight, Lu Yuan wouldn't mind fighting the Japanese army with one enemy and one hundred. But now it's night, even if he has a full-view map that ordinary people can't think of, but the night will affect his actions, not to mention that there are less than 10 people left, while the Japanese army has a few hundred. "Go, go, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." Liu Baotian, who had suspended shooting, turned his head and yelled at Yu Dapeng, who was at a loss, while changing the magazine for the light machine gun.
"Poof" "Poof" Lu Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows on the side of the street, shot continuously, and the rifle equipped with a silencer not only had a small sound, but also the gun flame when firing was almost invisible, so Lu Yuan emptied a magazine in a short time. "Nani?" The heavy casualties of the forward soldiers greatly puzzled the Japanese commander who rushed to the rescue, and he had clearly seen in the binoculars just now that the enemy in the street seemed to be only a few people, how could he inflict so many casualties on his own forward soldiers?
The attack speed of the Japanese reinforcements slowed down, but Lu Yuan did not dare to slack off, and while quietly moving backwards, he secretly used the full-view map to pay attention to the movements in other directions around him. After the adjustment, the Japanese reinforcements specially selected more than a dozen veterans to act as the vanguard, these Japanese veterans seemed to have some kind of extraordinary vigilance for danger, Lu Yuan fired six bullets in succession, but only one Japanese veteran was hit.
Lu Yuan's heart was greatly alerted, and he immediately stopped shooting, turned around and ran quickly towards Liu Baotian's position. At first, the group of Japanese soldiers who were attacked by Lu Yuan and them had already been killed and wounded, and almost all casualties were lost, and in the end, there were only seven or eight wounded Japanese soldiers left in the battle against Liu Baotian. "Go, go, get out of the hole." Lu Yuan ran to Liu Baotian's side, and didn't say much, just reached out and grabbed the light machine gun and threw it to Yu Dapeng, and then forcibly pulled Liu Baotian into the house on the side of the street.
"Boom" "Boom" Lu Yuan and his gang had just gotten into the room on the side of the street, when the Japanese mortar shells smashed over, and Yu Dapeng, who was walking at the back with a light machine gun, sighed, and was directly hit by the air wave coming from behind him. Quickly drilling into another street from the hole in the wall, Liu Baotian and the others, under the leadership of Lu Yuan, moved quickly along the street as if they were dead. Fortunately, Lu Yuan has a full-view map to help, and whenever he is about to collide with the encircled Japanese army, he can always dodge in advance.
After passing through several streets in a row, Lu Yuan and the others, who were physically exhausted, stopped, and without caring about gasping for breath, Lu Yuanjing squatted down in front of Liu Baotian. "Platoon Commander Liu, I know that you can't go back to those Japanese soldiers now, but you must know that meaningless sacrifices can only add to the Japanese army's achievements in vain. If I were you, I would continue to live well, and only by living can I continue to kill devils. Lu Yuan's words made Liu Baotian's eyes that had lost focus move, and Lu Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that the other party had listened to what he had just said.
"Let's all sit down and rest, the Japanese army will not come here for the time being." After persuading Liu Baotian, Lu Yuan squatted down and beckoned to Yu Dapeng and the others, Lu Yuan began to take out scattered bullets from his pocket and reload them into the empty magazine. In the series of battles just now, Lu Yuan had already emptied all the several magazines inserted in the bullet pocket on his chest, and in front of Yu Dapeng and them, Lu Yuan could not retrieve the spare magazines from the storage space, so he had to temporarily load out two spare magazines to take a look.
An attack battle that should have been ten out of ten was turned into a melee, and there were only 5 people left including himself who were originally nearly 20 people, and this huge difference made Lu Yuan very heartbroken. But this is war, there are too many variables on the battlefield full of dangers, and exchanging more than a dozen lives for the lives of dozens of Japanese soldiers, whether it is Lu Yuan or Liu Baotian, will not think it is not cost-effective. There was silence in all directions, only the breathing sound of Lu Yuan and the others remained, and after glancing around at Yu Dapeng and a few of them, Lu Yuan immediately opened his full-view map again.
In the full-view map, there were no abnormalities and changes around, and within Lu Yuan's exploration range, there were only five lonely green dots, and Lu Yuan knew that this represented the five of them. After about ten minutes, Lu Yuan got up and stood up, "Get up, this is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to find a stronger place to rest, it is too dangerous to be close to the city gate." Under Lu Yuan's urging, Yu Dapeng and several people also got up and stood up, and Liu Baotian silently took back the light machine gun and magazine bag from Yu Dapeng's arms.
Under the leadership of Lu Yuan, several people stepped on the brick and stone ruins everywhere and moved in the direction of the city, after coming out of a sloping alley, Lu Yuan suddenly squatted down and raised his right hand, and Yu Dapeng behind him also squatted down on the spot immediately. At the corner of the street, which was only more than 30 meters away from Lu Yuan, there were a few small green dots moving towards this side, and Lu Yuan didn't know whether the other party was a rout of the national army or civilians in the city, so he had to stop and wait and see what happened.
Lu Yuan and the others squatted still, letting the other party move along the street, and after getting closer, Lu Yuan was finally able to determine the identity of the other party. "We're from the Tax Police Corps, which unit are you?" At Lu Yuan's signal, Liu Baotian shouted at the opposite side with his throat in his voice, and the people who came from the corner of the street immediately shrank to the side of the street like rabbits, and the speed of their reaction made Lu Yuan secretly admire.
In fact, no matter who you are, you will be startled by someone when you suddenly encounter someone while walking at night. The gates of Nanjing have been breached by the Japanese army, and there are many small units of Japanese troops in the city. "We're from the Tax Police Corps, which unit are you?" After receiving Lu Yuan's signal, Liu Baotian reluctantly repeated the shouting just now, and then heard the movement of pulling the bolt in the shadow opposite.
"Don't shoot, we are really national troops, if you don't believe it, I can come out and let you see clearly." Lu Yuan was naturally sure that the other party was the national army, but the other party didn't believe Lu Yuan's identity, and in desperation, Lu Yuan had no choice but to let Yu Dapeng walk out from the street. Yu Dapeng was wearing a national army uniform, a German-style steel helmet on his head, and a Thomson submachine gun on his chest, which could not be a Japanese army at all.
"Brother on the other side, don't shoot me indiscriminately, we are really national troops." Yu Dapeng, who stood up in a daze under Lu Yuan's signal, secretly scolded Lu Yuan in his heart, and shouted to the people opposite, as soon as his Shandong dialect came out, one of the people on the opposite side immediately stood up. "Sir, it's your own person, and the one on the other side is also from Shandong." Just a few words of conversation with the person opposite, Yu Dapeng ran back and smiled at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan: The few people they met were indeed the national army, and they were the stragglers of the 74th Army, and the one who had a brief conversation with Yu Dapeng was the only Shandong person among the few, and he was a fellow villager in the same county as Yu Dapeng. "Are you going to leave Nanjing, or are you going to continue killing devils in the city with us?" After meeting with the four of them, Lu Yuan looked at the four of them without blinking, although there were only four people on the other side, Lu Yuan could see that these four were all veterans in the army.
The four of them originally thought that Liu Baotian, who was wearing the rank of lieutenant, was the one who was the master of the family and the commander, but they didn't expect that it was Lu Yuan, a kid who looked like he had just come of age, and after the four of them glanced at each other, Yu Dapeng's fellow immediately said to Lu Yuan with a wry smile. "Even if we want to leave, we may not be able to leave, we still have a dozen injured brothers in front of us to take care of, if we hadn't come out to find medicine and food, maybe we wouldn't have met a few of you."
