Chapter 6: Stand Up

Soon, Zhuo Fei, who had already rushed into the sorghum field at this time, heard the sound of the Japanese army's "Taisho 11-year-style" light machine gun strafing from behind, and Zhuo Fei in the team heard a total of two light machine guns fired by the Japanese army after listening for a while. The firepower of the two light machine guns firing at the same time can be regarded as dense, but under the same dense sorghum pole, the lethality of the Tomosaka 6.5mm rifle bullet should not be very good, not to mention that Zhuo Fei has already heard that the Japanese machine gunners are simply scattering aimlessly.

The sorghum field hundreds of meters deep does not seem small, but it can actually run, which is the kung fu of a cigarette. In the rapid sound of machine gun fire, Zhuo Fei and his gang rushed out of the sorghum field almost with arches, and were commanded by Captain Zhao to hide under a ridge. Hiroshi Yamaguchi and his men immediately ordered the machine guns to start strafing as soon as they approached the sorghum field, but the result of the strafing was that they did not see any other effect than breaking a lot of sorghum stalks near the edge of the sorghum field, so Yamaguchi Hiroichi decisively ordered to stop the shooting and assigned a team of spearheads to kill in the sorghum field.

"The devil soldiers have entered the sorghum field." When the Japanese machine gun stopped firing, Captain Zhao's heart was already frightened, and the team members in front of him shouted when they found the abnormal movement in the sorghum field, and Captain Zhao was even more shocked and almost jumped up. Behind the ridge was a large open field, not to mention that the students and teachers who were escorted had to pass through this open area quickly, even the guards under Captain Zhao could not do this before the Japanese guns came. Captain Zhao really panicked this time, so he got out of a dead place, but he didn't expect to enter another dead place, and the opportunity that Li Qiang and their sacrifice in exchange for was completely paid by Lang himself.

"Set fire, set fire to this sorghum field, and then we left here under the cover of fireworks." I don't know when, Zhuo Fei touched Captain Zhao's side, and gave Captain Zhao an idea at a loss. Zhuo Fei's reminder made the helpless Captain Zhao immediately pause, yes, he can attack with fire, the sorghum field is between his own group and the Japanese army, and his side occupies the upper hand, he can completely delay the pursuit of the Japanese army with the help of the smoke of the fire. Soon, Captain Zhao and his guards lit torches made of hay, lit two torches each, lined up a few meters apart, walked to the edge of the sorghum field together, and threw the torches in their hands into the sorghum field together. Suddenly, the fire took advantage of the wind, and a dozen or so fire heads quickly converged into a sea of fire and swept towards the depths of the sorghum field.

A smile finally appeared on Captain Zhao's face. Fire attack, this is the ancient Chinese's best use of killing the enemy. The rest of the people also lowered their voices and cheered in unison when they saw the fire raging, no matter what was hidden in the sorghum field, no matter what was hidden in the sorghum field, they would not want to survive. When Hiroichi Yamaguchi on the other side of the sorghum field saw the thick smoke, he immediately screamed in his heart that it was not good, and immediately understood that the other party was attacking with fire. Hot Lang rolled in bursts of smoke and smoke, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the sorghum field retreated one after another, and none of them could get into the sorghum field until the fire weakened.

Relying on the cover of fire and smoke, Captain Zhao beckoned the students and teachers hiding under the ridge to get up and leave, no matter how good the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship was, there was no way to find Captain Zhao and the others on the other side of the smoke, which also gave them the time and opportunity to leave. The area of this sorghum field is not very large after all, and the fire is finally gradually extinguished. Sure enough, far away on the other side of the fire, Yamaguchi found a group of fleeing people in the telescope.

"Catch up, delay them with machine guns and grenadiers, we catch the big fish." Yamaguchi Hiroichi was overjoyed, there should have been important people among the fleeing Shina people in front, and Yamaguchi Hongichi saw in the telescope at least 5 guards armed with short guns. Based on the number of short guns, Yamaguchi Hiroichi already regarded Captain Zhao and the others as guards to protect important people, but this is true, Captain Zhao and the others are responsible for protecting these students and teachers to go to the base area.

Ignoring the fire and smoke that had not yet been extinguished in the sorghum field, the Japanese army quickly rushed through the fire according to Yamaguchi Hongichi's order. All of them were already running with all their might, and some had even thrown away the precious books they had brought out of school, but even so, the Japanese troops chasing after them were getting closer and closer.

"Erniu, Huzi, and Da Mengzi, the three of you will take them first, and the others will stay with me to block the pursuers." Seeing that the speed of the students began to slow down more and more, Captain Zhao gritted his teeth and simply beckoned a few of his guards to stop, he planned to use the terrain in front of him to block and delay the pursuers here as much as possible. The three team members named by Captain Zhao were obviously the youngest of them, and seeing their captain glaring, the three named were reluctant to leave with the water in their eyes.

The chasing soldiers are coming, and now is the moment of life and death, Zhuo Fei no longer conceals his physical strength, first snatches the burden that the middle-aged woman is reluctant to abandon and throws it on his shoulder, and then reaches out to hold the lame man, regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, Zhuo Fei just dragged the other party and strode forward. "Boom" everyone didn't run far, there were already gunshots and explosions behind them, and there was no end to looking back, only to see that a few pillars of smoke had risen dozens of meters behind them, obviously Captain Zhao They had already exchanged fire with the pursuers.

"Hurry up, you can't stop, if you are entangled by the Japanese army, Squad Leader Li and Captain Zhao will all have their sacrifices in vain." The three team members assigned by Captain Zhao also panicked, but they didn't care about urging the students to speed up, but they didn't know that the direction they were leading had deviated. Zhuo Fei was the first to discover that there was a mistake in the direction, and the direction of their evacuation should have been to the northwest, but the direction of this meeting had changed to the south.

Behind him, a grenade fired by the Japanese grenadiers with a grenadier exploded, and a dazzling ball of fire flew up not far behind Zhuo Fei, and scattered grenade shrapnel mixed in the fire and qi flew towards Zhuo Fei and the escort named Huzi who were not far away. Zhuo Fei was lucky that he was not hit by the scattered grenade shrapnel, but he couldn't escape the push of the explosive gas Lang, and before he could take precautions, Zhuo Fei was pushed by the explosive gas Lang and fell to the ground.

Looking at the surrounding pines, cypresses, shrubs and grasses, and the smoking dirt pit not far behind him, how could Zhuo Fei not know what had just happened. Huzi, who was injured in the back, struggled to get up, and Zhuo Fei, who got up faster than him, took advantage of the situation to support Huzi, and the two could only stumble forward, and in a blink of an eye, they had fallen last.

"Give me the gun, and I'll cover you." Hearing the gunshots coming from behind him, Zhuo Fei simply pushed the tiger he was holding to a guard who came back to answer the reflexively, and when the other party was in a trance, Zhuo Fei had already reached out and grabbed the 38 rifle that Huzi was carrying.

"Bullets, give me bullets, you keep retreating." The moment he grabbed the rifle, Zhuo Fei suddenly paused, and then ignored the other two, just snatched a cartridge from Huzi again, and then ran sideways to a dirt bag on the north side with the rifle and cartridge box. Zhuo Fei grabbed the gun and bullets in the blink of an eye, and when the guards who had been robbed of the rifle and bullets reacted, Zhuo Fei, who had already increased his running speed to the limit, had already run several meters and left everyone else behind.

Zhuo Fei stopped behind the dirt bag, pulling the bolt to reload the bullet, but secretly wondering if he had hit a big luck. Just now, when Zhuo Fei snatched the Japanese-style 38 rifle that Huzi went north, when his hand touched the 38 rifle, a string of data suddenly appeared in his mind. "Japanese-style 38 rifle, rotary rear pull bolt, magazine feed, 6.5 mm caliber, full gun length 1275 mm, gun weight 3.9 kg, magazine capacity of 5 rounds, effective range 460 meters, ammunition 6.5×50mm Arisaka rifle cartridge."

This content is when Zhuo Fei came into contact with this 38 rifle, it suddenly appeared in his mind, if the time was changed to the past, Zhuo Fei would definitely think that this was his reverie or a daytime dream. But after experiencing and confirming that he had crossed over at this time, Zhuo Fei was not shocked by the data and content that appeared in his mind, but was a little excited, he didn't think that he was suffering from some emergency or strange disease, maybe this time it was the benefit of God to himself as a traverser.

Pulling the bolt of the gun, Zhuo Fei took out the bullet from the cartridge box and filled it into the magazine, Zhuo Fei knew that in the face of the strong firepower composed of dozens of Japanese soldiers, he could not quickly solve the battle with this rifle in his hand alone, all he wanted to do was to lead away the pursuing Japanese troops and win time and opportunity for others to evacuate. There were still gunshots from Captain Zhao's side, but the cunning Japanese army only divided some people to shoot at Captain Zhao, and the other Japanese soldiers had already bypassed Captain Zhao and continued to chase them.

As the Japanese army got closer and closer, Zhuo Fei, who was lying behind the dirt bag, took a deep breath, raised his hand and raised his gun, aiming at the machine gun shooter in the pursuers. But after aiming, Zhuo Fei suddenly decided to shoot at a different target, the Japanese machine gunner he was aiming at just now looked like a veteran of battle, and he was still changing positions from time to time during the rapid run, Zhuo Fei used this bolt-action rifle for the first time, he was not sure that he could hit with one hit, so he had to find a target that was easier to hit as the target of his first shot.
