Chapter 70: Attack
"Luca, I hope that while Hogg and Lieutenant Colonel Heru are in charge of the Women's College and the Little Pink Bridge refugee camp respectively, you can mediate in the center." Spending the night in the rumbling of cannons, neither Hogg nor Luca's expressions were very good, and the decision Lu Yuan made at breakfast made Luka shake his head again and again.
"Lu, I won't agree to you leaving the refugee camp." Lukka put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head at Lu Yuan. "Let's not say that my mission in leaving Nanjing is to protect you, let's just say that the current situation in the city is not optimistic, you and Schuchmann are not helpful to this war at all, why bother to risk your life. Lu, you've done enough for this city, and I'm sure someone will remember it after the war is over. ”
Luca wanted to persuade Lu Yuan to change his decision, but Hogg and Schuchmann and the others at the same table kept silent, because they all knew that once Lu Yuan made a decision, he would never change it easily. "Captain Luka, you can rest assured of Lu's safety. As early as a few months ago, in the Shanghai battlefield, Lu had gone deep into the Japanese-occupied area alone for several days, and although the current situation in Nanjing was far more dangerous than that in Shanghai, at least there were no Japanese troops in the city. Hogg couldn't help but express his opinion, although he didn't agree with Lu Yuan's risk, but he knew that he couldn't make Lu Yuan change his decision.
"Lu, I know that you are also a warrior who is eager to fight, and as a soldier, I hope you can come back alive. But as General Haussmann's envoy to Nanking, I still hope that you will follow Luca's advice and stay in the refugee camp, after all, war kills. After receiving Luca's hint, Lieutenant Colonel Heru, who has never liked to say much, also persuaded Lu Yuan, but Luka didn't know that Heru, who was a soldier, wanted to go to the battlefield more than Lu Yuan.
"Thank you, gentlemen, for your concern, but rest assured that I will come back safe and sound, I assure you." Politely rejecting everyone's persuasion, after breakfast, Lu Yuanjing drove away from the Xiaofenqiao refugee camp with Schuchmann, and after driving several streets in a row, Lu Yuan, who was driving himself, took the steering wheel and the car got into a yard on the side of the road. The two members of the action team under Schuchman were already waiting here, waiting for Lu Yuan and Schuchman to get out of the car, and the two people in the courtyard took over from Lu Yuan and drove the car out of the courtyard towards the women's college.
"Schuchmann, it's yours, try it." Opening the tin box in the hall of the main house, Lu Yuan took out a backpack made of thick canvas and handed it to Schuchmann. Schuchmann took the backpack and was not surprised by the weight of the backpack, what really shocked him was the style of the backpack. There are also backpacks on both shoulders in the German army, but there is absolutely no such backpack with a strap on the waist and abdomen, and the backpack that Lu Yuan handed himself also has a wide shoulder strap, so that such a backpack will never have the situation of Lemo's shoulders.
Seeing that Lu Yuan took out an identical backpack from the box again, Shu Heman reached out and unzipped the iron zipper on the backpack in the same way as Lu Yuan. The things in Lu Yuan's backpacks are the same, the difference is only the size, Shu Heman took out a German-style steel helmet from the backpack with a surprised face, followed by a complete set of canvas gray combat uniforms and high-waisted military boots, but the thing full of pockets like a vest made Shu Heman a little confused.
Shu Heman's strange appearance had already been seen by Lu Yuan, but he did not immediately explain to Shu Heman, but after changing into combat clothes and military boots, he showed up to explain to Shu Heman in his vest as scheduled. "Schuchman, this is just a combat vehicle that I designed, and once we are in the war zone, the backpack will affect our actions a little. Such a carrying device can ensure that we can carry as much ammunition and materials as conveniently as possible, and compared with the bullet bags of the national army, this kind of carrying equipment is more suitable for urban combat. ”
Shuchman put the carrying gear on the combat uniform as Lu Yuan, and after zipping it up, Shuchman jumped on the spot a few times and immediately fell in love with this vest-like carrying gear. "Boss, this thing is amazing, not only can ammunition fit in these pockets on the chest, but there is also a place for daggers. If you get shot head-on, maybe the ammunition in the bag can also help us resist the bullet, just like bulletproof protection. Schuchman expressed his joy incoherently, but Lu Yuan took out a long crate from another box and handed it to Schuchmann.
Schuchmann, who longed for greater joy, did not hesitate, and Lika opened the long box, and sure enough, the contents of the box made Schuchmann can't help but exclaim again. The long box that Lu Yuan handed to Shu Heman again contained a modified rifle, but in fact, Shu Heman didn't know that this gun box was taken out of Lu Yuan's personal space, and the iron box was just a trick. "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't see that this rifle was produced in the arsenal of that country."
After carefully examining the modified rifle in his hand, Schuchmann even opened the bolt to check the chamber, but Schuchmann, who looked surprised, did not find any manufacturer's logo on the gun. Lu Yuan took out more than a dozen full-load magazines from the box, and while dividing half of them and handing them to Shuchman, he explained to Shuchman, "This is not produced by an arsenal, this is a semi-automatic rifle made by me with the barrel of a Japanese-style 38 rifle, don't you see that there are two spare barrels in the gun box." ”
Shuchman, who was loading a magazine into the magazine, was dumbfounded when he heard this, and after a few seconds, almost in disbelief, Shuchman grabbed a magazine and unloaded a bullet and looked at it carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, the bullet in his hand was obviously of a small caliber, and there was absolutely no bullet of this caliber in European rifles. Looking at the two spare barrels in the gun box, I found that Schuchmann, who still had threads at both ends of the barrel, made a move, and then twisted the barrel of the rifle jerkily, and unscrewed the barrel of the rifle in a few clicks.
Lu Yuan, who inserted all the magazines into the magazine on his chest, did not stop Shuchman's move, but patiently explained to Shuchman, "These barrels are all disassembled from the 38 rifle I know, the original 38 rifle is just a bolt-action rifle, after I converted it into a semi-automatic rifle, I don't know if the life of the barrel can ensure a long time of shooting after changing the rate of fire, so I designed the barrel to shoot replaceable, how can the three barrels ensure that we can fire thousands of bullets in a row." ”
Before Schuchman could release the joy in his heart again, Lu Yuan took out another thing from the tin box that Schuchman had never seen, "This is my homemade silencer, the long one can be attached to the rifle, and the short one can be mounted on the pistol." Although the installation of a silencer will affect the firing distance of the weapon, it is very beneficial in urban combat, especially in night raid operations, which I have tested in the field in Shanghai. ”
Following Lu Yuan's example, he screwed the iron tubular silencer to the barrel of the rifle, and Schuchman, who received Lu Yuan's signal, pulled the bolt, turned the muzzle of the gun and fired a shot at the corner of the room. There was a soft "poof", and the bullet that came out of the barrel was hitting the wall, and Schuchmann, who fired the shot, was very surprised. "Oh my God, this is amazing, I didn't expect this tube-like thing to really eliminate the gunshots." Even in the house, Schuchmann did not expect the gunfire to be so soft after the installation of a silencer, and the sound of this intensity might not be as loud as the movement of a balloon bursting if it was outside.
"This is the leg strap, the one on the right for the gun, the one on the left for the magazine. This is a grenade belt, and the oval grenade issued by the Japanese army can be used not only as a personal throwing weapon, but also for 50 mm grenadier projectile attacks. Lu Yuan took out a few things from the tin box one after another and handed them to Schuhman, and finally what came out of the box were two pieces of white cloth with Chinese characters written on them. Once we enter the battlefield, we will not only attract the attack of the Japanese infiltration troops, but also may provoke misunderstanding among the soldiers of the national army. ”
The white cloth that Lu Yuan finally took out of the tin box was printed with the blue sky and white sun flag on the top, and 6 Chinese characters written below, which was Lu Yuan's identity self-proclaimed by plagiarizing the style of the life-saving cloth of the Flying Tigers who aided China a few years later. Schuchmann's Chinese language was stumbling, and there were even fewer Chinese characters he could understand, so Lu Yuan had to teach him one by one. "Coming to China to help the war, this is to explain our identity to the national army, even if you meet a national soldier who can't read, I believe they can also recognize the blue sky and white sun flag on it."
Learning from Lu Yuan's example, he put the identity into the arm pocket on his left arm, and hung the rifle on the three-point belt, Schuhman was very satisfied and jumped on the spot a few times again, and the feeling of the weapon and equipment being close to the compact made Schuchman very satisfied and excited. After finally taking out two binoculars and handing one of them to Shuchman, Lu Yuan said to Shuchman with a serious face, "Shuchman, if you leave here, we will enter the combat state." I don't know if there is any training in urban warfare in your German army, but I will say that follow me closely and be careful. ”
Before leaving the Xiaofenqiao refugee camp, Lu Yuan got yesterday's battle report through Luka, and he already knew that Yuhuatai was the most heavily attacked, but the national army stared at it and did not flinch. Today is only the 11th, and Lu Yuan knows that the defense of Nanjing will not be breached by the Japanese army, but the infiltration of small Japanese troops is inevitable, so Lu Yuan's main target today is these small Japanese troops who have infiltrated into the city.
"Come on, Shuchman, let's help the city get rid of those damn rats." Lu Yuan, who was not equipped properly, did not hesitate, and walked out of the courtyard first, and after Schuhman secretly recited a word of God blessing in his heart, he also rushed out of the courtyard with Lu Yuan. The rumbling of cannon in the distance was the best way to guide them, and the two of them moved along the street, soon disappearing around the corner.
