Wei Ran walked along the bumpy stone road, thinking about what else he could do. However, what made him despair was that until he saw the Dongguan position, he found that he had no ability to influence the situation of the battle, let alone play any decisive role.
"Wei Ran, you are finally back. I thought you were a deserter."
Li Sui'an shook the old muff in his hand while speaking, "Last night I I got a gun, and there are 10 bullets left.”
“Not mine?” Wei Ran asked with a smile.
"No..." Li Sui'an whispered awkwardly, "My brother thought you were a deserter."
Wei Ran shook his head helplessly, "I went to help The stretcher team helped, how could he be a deserter?"
"How about you use mine?" Li Sui'an said and handed the rifle in his hand, "I have a big belly box. "
"You can keep it, I also have a big belly box." Wei Ran patted the holster on his waist as he spoke.
Hearing this, the former did not insist. He put his hand into his pocket and took out a piece of corn tortilla wrapped in straw paper. "I left it for you. Take two bites quickly."
"You should eat some too." Wei Ran took the corn pancake, broke off half of it and handed it to Li Sui'an. The two of them leaned against the cold city wall and ate the cooled pancake in two or two bites.
"Where's your brother?" Wei Ran took the kettle from the other party and asked after taking a sip.
Li Sui'an, who was chewing slowly, pointed to the top of his head, "Where is it on the city wall?"
"You eat slowly, I will go up and have a look." Wei Ran returned the kettle to the other party. , without waiting for the other party to say anything else, he climbed up the steps and climbed up the city wall.
Facing the fiery red morning sun, Wei Ran immediately saw more and more Japs outside the city and the bunkers they had built overnight.
However, before he could find Li Hexian, the roar of propellers suddenly came from the northwest! When he turned his head subconsciously, he immediately saw several planes flying over from a distance!
Not good!
Wei Ran's heart sank. These planes flying in formation were definitely not the reconnaissance planes from yesterday. They were going to carry out air strikes!
"Air attack! Plane! Northwest!"
Before Wei Ran finished speaking, the first few aircraft had already opened their cannons and rushed toward them with barrage like flaming snakes. Teng County is filled with smoke! Behind these planes, the slower bombers dropped aerial bombs one after another after flying over the county town!
For a time, the entire county was enveloped by successive explosions and soaring flames! The people who were hurriedly escaping from the houses one after another were all chased by the fire snakes and fell down in pieces under the shock wave of the aerial bomb explosion!
"Go to the bunker!"
Li Hexian, who led the team down from the city wall, pushed Wei Ran without any explanation and ran towards the bunker under the city wall.
Almost at the same time they jumped into the bunker, the aerial bomb alsoIt landed on the stone road less than 50 meters away from them.
The violent explosion and shock wave kicked up broken bricks and tiles and mutilated corpses, which were thrown into the air and then smashed down again.
The screams of the people before they died and the curses of the defending soldiers have been completely covered up by the deafening explosions and the roar of the aircraft propellers, but everyone’s clenched fists and angry expressions on their faces are still. And so conspicuous.
But those planes in the sky, relying on the lack of anti-aircraft firepower of the defenders on the ground, circled, dropped bombs, and opened fire again and again with utmost arrogance, making it clear that they were going to turn this small town into scorched earth!
During the extraordinarily long ordeal, before those planes could fly far away, the little Japs outside the East City Gate had already rushed over under the cover of machine guns and mortars!
"Go up the city wall!" Li Hexian was the first to jump out of the bunker and led the soldiers to rush onto the city wall again. Wei Ran glanced at Li Sui'an, who was huddled in the bunker with his head in his hands. In the end, without saying anything, he pulled out his pistol and followed.
Before he could find his position, the soldier who went up first had already started to pull the trigger. Wei Ran risked a glance outside, and then hurriedly hid behind the wall.
Compared with the only water-cooled heavy machine gun on their side, the Japs on the opposite side not only had more than a dozen mortars lined up in a row, but the armored vehicles behind them had also driven up! At the same time, on both sides of the battlefield a little closer, there were machine guns several times larger than our own!
Looking left and right again, Wei Ran, who no longer cared about the many things, directly took out the semi-automatic rifle in the cowhide book, aimed at the fire points of the machine guns and pulled the trigger!
There is a distance of three to four hundred meters, there is no optical sight, and the city wall under your feet is still being bombarded by the opponent's mortars. With all these conditions, it is impossible to hit the machine gunner hiding behind the sandbags. The difficulty can be imagined!
As he pulled the trigger again and again, finally, the first machine gunner fell down on his back, slightly moved the muzzle of the gun to aim at the other machine gunner, and Wei Ran pulled the trigger again, until the first machine gunner fell down. The magazine was empty, and the machine gunner on the opposite side fell. However, what made him despair was that within a short time, the machine gun at the first firing point began to spray out deadly barrages again!
Hiding behind the wall, Wei Ran took out the second magazine from the ammunition bag on the butt of the gun and replaced it. But before he could stand up, a thin soldier's chest was seen not far away. However, a cloud of blood mist erupted and he fell heavily on his back. The big cover of the 38 rifle with a cracked butt tied with a cloth strip in his hand also fell to the bumpy ground.
Wei Ran was stunned, put the rifle that had just been replaced into the magazine back into the cowhide book, and rushed towards it. He still remembered that this little soldier named Siwazi came with the labor army. His father and All his brothers died on the battlefield.
After hastily taking a look at the opponent's injuries, Wei Ran's heart felt cold. His right chest was hit by a bullet, and the bright red blood had changed the color of the brand-new cotton-padded coat in just a short time.
Without any hesitation, Wei Ran took out a bottle of morphine from his pocket and pushed it into his mouth.in the body. Si Wazi, who had blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, looked hard at his chest, which was wet with blood, and opened his mouth silently as if he wanted to say something.
Wei Ran hurriedly lowered his head, put his ear to the other person's mouth, and then heard Si Wazi say intermittently, "I killed... two... make... make... "..."
"Four children?"
Wei Ran looked at the young soldier who had stopped breathing, tremblingly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and then read out of the cowhide notebook again. He took out the semi-automatic rifle and pulled the trigger again and again at the little Japanese who was getting closer and closer.
At this time, he no longer cares about the firepower of the machine gun. Now he only thinks about killing one more person!
Thanks to the speed of fire of semi-automatic rifles and the increasingly shorter distance between the two, even if Weiran cannot hit 100 times, at least seven or eight of ten bullets can hit it.
After he emptied the last magazine, he immediately picked up the 38-gun that was still stained with the blood of Si Wazi, and continued to pull the trigger at the little Japs who had almost rushed to the city. Completely unaware of Li Hexian's horrified expression not far away.
But this time, before he could empty the bullets in his gun, a series of gunshots suddenly rang out in a forest outside the city! Immediately afterwards, the corner of the city wall just a few dozen meters away from him encountered fierce shelling.
The nearly continuous explosions not only blew away the defenders above! Even the city wall itself collapsed in the intensive explosion, leaving a gap!
"The city wall has collapsed! Pistol team! Those who are still alive come with me to block the hole!" Li Hexian shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately placed the San Ba Da Gai in his hand next to Si Wazi’s body, pulled out the big belly box from his waist, and was the first to run down the city wall and rushed towards the filled with The gap in the wall of smoke!
Behind him, Li Hexian glanced at Si Wazi’s body, bent down to pick up a bright bullet shell and a used morphine injection and put them into his pocket, then quickened his pace and chased after him. Wei Ran rushed down.
At the same time, at the bunker next to the steps, Li Sui'an, who had just plucked up the courage to crawl out, gritted his teeth and pulled out his pistol and followed the crowd.
By the time a team of five or six people arrived near the gap, almost fifty or sixty defenders had already gathered there. At the same time, the little devils outside the city also concentrated their firepower, covering a group of soldiers who rushed over, intending to seize the gap in the city wall.
"Get ready for grenades!" one of the middle-aged soldiers closest to the collapsed city wall shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hearing this, everyone pulled out a grenade from their waists and unscrewed the cap. Li Sui'an glanced at his cousin and Wei Ran in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he also pulled out a grenade from his waist and followed the example of others and opened the lid.
Soon, a little devil holding a 38-meter cover appeared from the top of the collapsed city wall. The middle-aged soldier who was nearest raised the box cannon in his hand, as if he had not aimed at it at all. Yes, shoot him with one shotHit the former in the neck.
This shot was like a signal. Either with their teeth or with their hands, everyone pulled down the firing line and threw the smoking grenade along the gap!
After the explosions one after another, the middle-aged soldier closest to him took a look outside, raised his pistol and fired the trigger repeatedly.
After easily eliminating the kid who almost rushed in, the middle-aged soldier who was called the company commander by the other soldiers said, "Let's stay here, this kid will definitely have to rush over." ."
As expected, soon after, the little devils outside the city continued to suppress them with artillery fire, and reluctantly sent the second and third teams of soldiers to continue to attack the gap!
Under the command of the company commander, everyone took advantage of the cover of the city wall and used grenades to knock the little Japs climbing up along the collapsed city wall to the ground, barely holding on to the gap. .
However, although the Japs temporarily gave up attacking the gap in the city wall, the artillery hidden in the woods outside the city became more and more fierce, and this artillery and those vehicles almost drove to the bottom of the city wall. Under the fierce bombardment of armored vehicles, tanks and mortars, the casualties of the defenders on the city wall were also increasing.
At the gap in the city wall, Wei Ran held a Hanyang-made weapon he had picked up. He took aim briefly and then decisively pulled the trigger. After knocking down an enemy, he immediately retreated to the wall and loaded the gun.
He could no longer remember how many Japs he had killed, let alone how long this exchange of fire had lasted, but less than half of the pistol bullets on his armed belt had been consumed, and the only two grenades had also been used. It was all consumed early. If it weren't for the reinforcements sent later to help, I'm afraid this place would have been lost long ago.
After calming down, Wei Ran leaned out half of his body, aimed at the figure outside and pulled the trigger again.
