Chapter Seventy-One: The First Battle

Standing on the side of the road and letting the large group of civilians who came from the opposite side, he was still a little uncomfortable with hanging the rifle on the three-point gun belt Shuchman shook his neck, for the equipment that Lu Yuan made himself, Shuchman had already thought about it, and he had been holding back without asking the questions in his heart, but the surprise in his eyes that occasionally showed involuntarily was still uncontrollable. "If there is anything you want to ask, you can say it directly, you can accompany me to risk your life, you are the person I can trust." Lu Yuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Schuchman, then lit the cigarette and took a big puff.

Lu Yuan and the two of them were standing on the side of the road in such strange clothes and carrying guns on their backs, and the Nanjing civilians who passed by the two of them were all hesitant, but after Schuhman took off his steel helmet, these passing civilians settled down, because they knew that the Japanese would never have a blonde face. Schuchmann, who also lit a cigarette, did not ask Lu Yuan for a word, but smiled and took out the white cloth with writing from his arm pocket and opened it to show the civilians passing by him.

"If you can't pass through after you go to Rujiangmen, go to Xiaofenqiao or the Women's College, where there is a refugee camp for you." Lu Yuan also reminded these civilians who dragged their families and mouths in a timely manner, hearing Lu Yuan say this, these civilians who originally went to Rujiangmen suddenly remembered what the newsboys in the city had preached, and it seems that the matter of the refugee camp should not be fake. After letting go of this group of civilians, Lu Yuan and the two continued to move forward with cigarettes in their mouths, but when they were still some distance from the street in front, Lu Yuan, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Shuchman, haven't you always wanted to test the power of your rifle? Now here's your chance, get ready to fight. As Lu Yuan spoke, the whole person had already run towards the door of a house on the side of the street. Ignoring the copper lock on the courtyard gate, Lu Yuan pulled out his pistol and shot two shots at the copper lock, and then took off the copper lock that had been broken by the bullet and pushed open the wooden courtyard door, and beckoned Shuchman, who was following behind, to enter the courtyard.

The area of the courtyard is not very large, Lu Yuan just glanced at the situation in the courtyard in a hurry, and then instructed Schuhman to move the water tank in the courtyard under the courtyard wall of Linjie. Standing on the water tank, whether it is Schuchmann or Lu Yuan, he can expose his upper body to the courtyard wall at will. "Schuchmann, this water tank is reserved for you, wait for my signal later, and when you hear me shoot, you will shoot with you." Lu Yuan lowered his voice and admonished Shuchman, but he squatted behind the wooden courtyard gate.

Lu Yuan's actions completely puzzled Shuchman, but he did not delay or question Lu Yuan's decision, and when Schuchman squatted on the water tank for the sixth time and was puzzled, there was a chaotic and hurried footsteps from the cashier in front of him. Schuchmann didn't even have to peep out from the courtyard wall, just by the sound of footsteps outside, he could already be sure that there would be no fewer than 30 people running from the front corner at this moment.

Shu Heman guessed correctly, there were about 40 people coming from the front corner at this moment, but unlike the civilians who Lu Yuan had just let them, among the more than 40 civilians who came over at this moment, not only were there not old and weak women and children, but everyone in this group was carrying weapons. "Ono-kun, are you sure you're on the right track? If we fail, the squadron leader and they will most likely be surrounded by the Chinese army in the city. Nogawa Kumayoshi, who was wearing a felt hat on his head, slowed down and asked in a low voice to Nanichi Ono, who was beside him.

Nanichi Ono, who was asked, immediately stopped, looked left and right, and then took out a hand-drawn map from his bosom and opened it. "Nogawa-kun, this map was sent out of the city by sacrificing more than a dozen people in our special high class, although the map is not complete, but the direction and route we are traveling now are absolutely correct. As long as we follow this street and go straight left at the fourth street in front, we will definitely find the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters of the Chinese Army. ”

With Ono Nanichi's assurance, Nogawa Kumayoshi's face showed a hint of relief, and behind them was the remaining strength of the same squad, Nogawa Kumayoshi believed that his squad suddenly launched an attack on the Nanjing City Defense Headquarters, and it would definitely create the chaos that the division commander wanted in Nanjing City. "Moving on, we must launch an attack on the city defense headquarters of the Chinese army before lunch." When Nanichi Ono put away the retracted map, Nogawa Kumayoshi let out a low sigh, and the team that had slowed down immediately sped up.

Nogawa Kumayoshi and the others had just arrived at the courtyard where Lu Yuan and the others were hiding, and another group of people appeared not far from the street in front of them, but the group of people who appeared later were all wearing the khaki military uniforms of the Japanese army. The two groups together can have more than 70 people, which happens to be the strength of a Japanese squad, and Nogawa Kumayoshi is the leader of this Japanese infiltration squad. Knowing from the herald that the remaining strength of his squad had been rounded around the corner, Nogawa Kumayoshi's face immediately showed a hint of joy, his squad was armed with three light machine guns and four grenadiers, and if he encountered the Chinese army, Nogawa Kumayoshi believed that his squad could defeat at least one battalion of the Chinese army head-on.

Lu Yuan, who was squatting behind the courtyard gate, had already locked on Nogawa Xiongyi from the gap in the courtyard gate, and at the moment when Nogawa Xiongyi was distracted by reverie, Lu Yuan, who was squatting behind the courtyard gate, suddenly opened the courtyard door a larger gap, and fired two shots at Xiao Yexiong Yi with the rifle in his hand. "Poof" and "poof" sounded softly, and the smile on Nogawa Xiongyi's face had not yet dissipated, and two blood arrows splattered out of his head and chest in a row, and the whole person twisted his body and fell into the street.

Lu Yuan's shot was the signal, and the Schuchman assassin who had been crouching on the water tank also straightened up, stretched the rifle in his hand out of the courtyard wall, and pulled the trigger on the nearby Ono Nanichi. The silencer-fitted rifle didn't make much noise, but the guy who was pointed at Schuchmann at gunpoint fell to the ground with a wail, clutching his bloody neck. When a shot was fired, Schuhmann habitually pulled the bolt, but found that the rifle in his hand had no bolt at all, and the next bullet in the magazine had already been loaded.

The negligent Shuchman turned his head to look at Lu Yuan a little unnaturally, but found that Lu Yuan, who was squatting at the courtyard gate, was busy shooting continuously, and had no time to pay attention to himself, so Shuchman immediately calmed down and put all his thoughts on how to shoot those guys outside the wall. "Puff puff" The bullet casings with temperature continuously popped out of the rifle's bomb port, and Lu Yuan's body also kept shaking with the continuous firing of the rifle, and at this time, among the more than 40 soldiers under Nogawa Kumayoshi, Lu Yuan had been continuously shot over by at least one-third.

After firing several rounds in succession, Schuchmann, who was standing on the water tank, finally got used to the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, and never tried to pull the bolt after firing. The continuous shooting of Lu Yuan and Shu Heman caused the more than 40 disguised Japanese soldiers outside the courtyard to be killed and wounded, especially their commander Nokawa Kumayoshi and guide Ono Nanichi, who were killed by Lu Yuan in the first round.

"Change the magazine" Lu Yuan, who had already emptied the first magazine, retracted his body, and while shouting at Schuchman to remind him, Lu Yuan had already taken out a spare magazine from the magazine on his chest. When Shuchman heard Lu Yuan's shout, he immediately accelerated the speed of pulling the trigger, trying to suppress the Japanese soldiers outside with the last few remaining bullets in the magazine, so as to buy time for Lu Yuan to change the magazine. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan had already changed the magazine, and when Schuhman also shouted to change the magazine, Lu Yuan had already leaned out again and fired continuously at the Japanese troops outside.

Lu Yuan and Schuchmann use semi-automatic rifles, and if they fire quickly and continuously, the 20 rounds in the magazine can be fired in less than half a minute. The Japanese army used bolt-action rifles, and even senior veterans of the Japanese army could only guarantee that they could fire five bullets in a row within half a minute. So after the initial panic experienced by the Japanese soldiers outside the wall, by the time they began to counterattack, Lu Yuan and Shuchman had already exhausted their second magazines one after another.

The four magazines totaled 80 rounds, and in just one minute, they were all fired by Lu Yuan and Shu Hehman, and only 6 of the more than 40 disguised Japanese soldiers in the street were still alive at this moment. One of the six Japanese soldiers finally raised his rifle and fired a shot, but he only had time to fire a bullet, and before he could pull the bolt, Shuchmann on the water tank opened his heavenly spirit cover.

Lu Yuan, who had already changed to the third magazine, did not show the slightest relent, squatted in the doorway, and fired continuously at the remaining five Japanese soldiers who were still alive outside. A Japanese soldier who fired two shots in a row and failed to hit Lu Yuan scolded angrily, but in the next moment, the bullet fired by Lu Yuan knocked him to the ground, and the Japanese soldier who was shot twice in the chest could only fall helplessly and aggrieved on his back in the street.

"Poof" another Japanese soldier was shot to the ground by Lu Yuan, and the last two remaining Japanese soldiers looked at each other, immediately turned around and ran. It's just that Lu Yuan and Shu Heman didn't think about letting them go, and with two soft pops, the two Japanese soldiers who had turned around and ran a few meters out of the street fell into the street with open arms one after another. "Shuchman, replenish ammunition." Lu Yuan rushed out of the courtyard first, leaned down and rummaged for bullets and grenades from several corpses, he didn't dare to take spare bullets from his personal space in front of Schuchmann.

After finding some bullets from several corpses with dropped rifles around him, Lu Yuan pulled the unfinished Schuchman back into the courtyard, and in the full-view map that Lu Yuan had opened, a group of Japanese soldiers would soon appear again at the intersection of the street in front of him.
