Chapter 8: The Manifestation of the Treasure

When everyone heard this, they remembered what Qin Chuan said just now.

They rushed over, and sure enough, they saw several boxes of flower traps in the trench. There are also seven or eight boxes of matching bullets.

The flower machine is the German MP18 submachine gun, which was copied by an arsenal in China in 1926. In the course of the anti-encirclement and suppression battle, the Red Army seized a lot of flower organs from the Nationalist army.

This submachine gun has a high rate of fire and is very powerful in melee firepower, which is definitely not comparable to a bolt-action rifle that pulls the bolt and fires a shot.

Liuzi and Zhang Changshan jumped down and counted the flower traps in the box. Then he turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Company commander, the number of these guns is exactly the same as the number of people we can fight, it is really Xiaobao who has appeared." ”

Qin Chuan said: "Everyone has a hand, with these flower organs, we will have the confidence to fight the little devils." ”

They then began to hand out the flower traps to the soldiers, as well as the matching bullets. In addition to flower traps and bullets, there were also a lot of grenades, which were also purchased by Qin Chuan from the system.

Of course, the appearance of these weapons, under Qin Chuan's flickering, the soldiers of the Ninth Company really thought that Xiaobao had appeared.

After distributing these flower traps, Qin Chuan began to teach those soldiers how to use them. The use of this submachine gun is actually very simple, and many soldiers in the Ninth Company have also seen the scene of the brother troops equipped with flower traps using this kind of gun.

So in just a few moments, they all mastered how to use this submachine gun.

After deciding that he was going to fight this group of little devils, Qin Chuan replied with a telegram to the commander of the 262nd Brigade.

"Most of the officers and men of our army died at the hands of the Japanese army, and the Japanese squadron in front of us must be wiped out before we can break through to Jinjianjunzuo. If you can't break through, it's a horse leather shroud, and what does it matter if you die on the battlefield. ”

Zhu Chi, the brigade commander of the 262nd Brigade, saw the telegram that Qin Chuan replied, and he was silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed and asked the staff officer to send a telegram to cancel the artillery cover for the Ninth Company.

With the equipment and ammunition, the next thing to do is how to take out the Japanese army on the other side.

At this time, they had only more than 40 people still able to fight, while the Japanese army had at least 200 capable of fighting.

Forty against two hundred, and two hundred very elite infantry of the Japanese Army's Division A. It's an almost impossible task.

"Company commander, what do you say, let's follow you and the little devil to the end." Liuzi said in a Henan dialect that he was a staunch supporter of Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan looked around at the other soldiers of the Ninth Company, and then said, "There are a lot of little devils on the other side, and they are all elites. Our biggest advantage is that we are equipped with dozens of flower machines, and we can suppress the firepower of the Japanese army at close range within 100 meters. ”

Zhang Changshan said: "Let's take advantage of the darkness to touch the position of the little devils and engage them in close combat." The continuity of the little devil's firepower is too poor, and our flower machine can beat them so that they can't find the north. ”

Qin Chuan said: "This idea is very good, but in a frontal attack, as long as the enemy's heavy machine gun fire is arranged, we are afraid that we will not have a chance to connect close to the position of the little devil." ”

"What then?" Xiao Mao poked his head out and asked at this time.

But everyone looked at him with contempt, because it was his cowardice that made Xiaobao finally killed by the Japanese army.

Xiao Mao retracted his head in a daze, and then silently fiddled with the flower mechanism in his hand.

"Surround the Japanese army, let them not know what we are doing, and attack from three directions at the same time. The Japanese positions were very simple, and if our firepower was fierce enough, it was possible to disrupt their positions. When the time comes, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, we will be able to approach the Japanese position, and the flower mechanism in our hands will be able to play its role to the fullest. Qin Chuan said to everyone.

"Surround them, but how do we get to their flanks and rear?" Zhang Changshan had rich combat experience, so he asked Qin Chuandao directly.

Qin Chuan said: "Yes, there are two drainage ditches over there. Under the cover of cotton fields and night, we went to the two drainage ditches, and then detoured through the drainage ditches to the Japanese position, so that we could form a triangle and complete the encirclement of the Japanese position. ”

Zhang Changshan said: "But what if the Japanese army is prepared? ”

Qin Chuan immediately said: "The crux of the problem is that they are defenseless. If you were the commander of the Japanese army opposite, do you think we, the dozens of people, would choose to hold our positions and wait for reinforcements, or take the initiative to attack more than 200 people with more than 40 people? ”

Zhang Changshan thought for a while, and then said: "If I were the captain of the dog's little devil squadron opposite, I would have decided that our Ninth Company would either hold its position or break through from the rear and move closer to the main force." It was absolutely impossible to rush in their direction. ”

Qin Chuan said: "So, this is our chance!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought it was true.

The Japanese army arranged a small detachment in their rear, and the number was small, but as long as they broke through Qinchuan, they would be directly discovered. And the main force of the Japanese squadron in front of them simply did not bother to build a machine-gun position, and the defense of the position was also useless.

Because these Japanese troops and their commanders instinctively believed that it was impossible for the dozens of people on the opposite side to attack their positions. Naturally, they didn't need to spend effort digging trenches and building barbed wire to prevent the Ninth Company from impacting their positions.

In their opinion, this is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and no one would do that.

But what Kuroiwa Sakatsu and his soldiers couldn't imagine was that the group of eggs on the opposite side at this time really planned to smash their stone.

Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, Qin Chuan's soldiers began to jump out of the position according to the plan and entered the cotton fields on both sides of the position.

More than 500 meters from the cotton field to both sides, there are two drainage ditches. These two drainage ditches could help Qin Chuan and them detour back to the flank of the position of Heiyan Sasheng's troops.

In addition to the troops on both flanks, they also had offensive troops in Qinchuan on the front. The one who commanded the frontal troops to attack was Zhao Erxi, the deputy platoon commander of the second platoon.

The veterinarian hugged Xiaobao in a cloth bag, then tied it to his back, followed Zhao Erxi, and went down to the position, holding the flower mechanism, and began to crawl on the ground, approaching the Japanese position.

"Whoosh!!"

The Japanese flares rose into the night sky, illuminating the area of several tens of meters around the position. In the center of the position, the Japanese soldiers were sitting shirtless, eating around campfires.

Although the attack during the day failed, this did not prevent them from reveling at this time. Kuroiwa Sakatsu also acquiesced in this behavior, because he believed that proper relaxation could help his soldiers regain their combat effectiveness.

He planned to assemble his forces in the second half of the night and launch a night attack when the enemy was at its most exhausted.

But what Kuroiwa Sakatsu would not have imagined was that at this moment, the enemy he thought was already a turtle in the urn and could be pinched to death by him at any time, and had already begun to take advantage of the night to approach their position.

Qin Chuan led more than a dozen soldiers under his command to crawl in the cotton field for a distance of several hundred meters before finally reaching the drainage ditch.

And the moment he turned over and entered the gutter, he was stunned by the scene inside.

Because inside this gutter, there are piles of corpses. The corpses inside were of soldiers of the national army, and many of them were of ordinary civilians.

The Japanese threw the slaughtered villagers and the killed prisoners of war into the drain. Before they could bury it, they began to rush forward.

Mosquitoes buzzed in the gutter, and the Songhu area was still hot and humid at the end of August, leaving the corpses to rot early and emit a disgusting stench.

Xiao Mao lay on his stomach next to the drainage ditch, vomiting heavily. Although he had seen many dead bodies on the battlefield, the scene in front of him and the smell of rancid smell still made him unbearable.

Qin Chuan crawled over from the corpse, patted Xiao Mao and said, "Xiao Mao, Xiao Bao is looking at you from the sky." After a fight with the little devil for a while, if you coax it, the little treasure won't forgive you. ”

Xiao Mao looked up at the sky, where only dark clouds covered the stars and moon, where was Xiaobao. But he knew in his heart that Xiaobao's death accounted for a large part of the reason.

"I... I know that I will avenge Xiaobao. Xiao Mao wiped the vomit next to his lips and nodded to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan nodded to him, and then began to crawl along the drainage ditch towards the flank of the Japanese position along the other soldiers.

The soldiers had crawled over the corpses, each with blood from the dead bodies and even rotting flesh.

They crawled through the ankle-length blood from the gutter, and their bodies were dark red. It's like a ghost crawling out of hell to ask for his life.

And tonight, they're the impermanence of life-seeking. To help Xiaobao, as well as those souls who died under the guns of the Japanese army, ask for the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

At this time, the Japanese army was still carnivaling around the bonfire. Some of the soldiers, talking loudly in Japanese, about Xiaobao, who they killed today.

"That little rabbit cub is simply a little tiger, and he bit the calf of His Excellency the Squadron Leader in one bite." A soldier gestured with a sickly smile on his face, "Then His Excellency the Squadron Leader kicked him out with a kick, more than a meter away!" ”

As he spoke, he imitated the action that Sakatsu Kuroiwa had done to kick Xiaobao during the day today.

When the other Japanese soldiers saw it, they let out exclamations and laughter, as if it was a very interesting thing.

Kuroiwa Sakatsu watched them from a short distance, smiled silently, and began to continue to bow his head and write letters.

It was a letter he had written to his brother Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, the main force of his brother's army at this time, and it was not very far from here. Kuroiwa Sakatsu has already sent a telegram, saying that if there is time, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu can come here to see his results.

And by that time, he should have annihilated the Ninth Company and occupied that position.

Thinking like this, Kuroiwa Sakatsu's smile deepened, as if their sun flag had fluttered above the position of the Ninth Company.

"Whoosh!!"

Another flare rose into the air, illuminating a range of several tens of meters around the Japanese position.

Not far from their position, a drain full of corpses was a place they were reluctant to approach. It was full of mosquitoes, some of the corpses were rotting and maggots, and the stench was enough to make people vomit.

But at this time, in this drainage ditch, Qin Chuan had already climbed out of the drainage ditch with more than a dozen people under his command.

The current Qin Chuan and the more than a dozen soldiers under him are like demons crawling out of hell. They were all stained dark red by the blood from the drains. Because of crawling in the gutters full of corpses for a long time, they can still smell a very pungent rancid smell on their bodies.

In the other direction, more than a dozen soldiers led by Zhang Changshan also crawled out of the drainage ditch.

The Japanese flare lasted for a few minutes, and when the sky turned black again, these soldiers began to crawl towards the position of the Japanese squadron from three directions, led by Qin Chuan, Zhang Changshan, and Zhao Erxi.

More than ten minutes later, they were less than 100 meters away from the Japanese position. Zhao Erxi, who approached the Japanese position from the front, and the soldiers he led were only more than 50 meters away.

Qin Chuan estimated the distance, it was less than 100 meters, and if they charged with all their strength, it would only take more than ten seconds to rush into the Japanese position.

He glanced at the six sons next to him, and then gave him a gesture.

Rokuko immediately understood what he meant, took out a flare gun from his back, and fired a red flare into the night sky.

At the moment when the red flare was fired, all the soldiers of the Ninth Company stood up from three directions and roared together.

Their voices came from three directions, and with a soulful rage. In the silent night, like the howl of wolves, dozens of people were stunned to give people the feeling of thousands of troops galloping and shouting.

"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! ”

Their faces were covered in blood, like corpses fished out of a sea of blood. With a vengeful rage, he frantically charged in the direction of the Japanese army.

Those Japanese soldiers who were chatting around the campfire suddenly saw a red signal flare not far away, lighting up the sky. All of a sudden, it was a little strange.

Almost at the same time, the roaring voices of the soldiers of the Ninth Company came from all directions. In the wind mixed with the smell of rancidity, these roars were like the wails of the Yin soldiers.

"What's that?" Some Japanese soldiers couldn't help but ask as they listened to the howling sound and the increasingly strong rancid smell in the air.

Kuroiwa Sakatsu was also very strange, of course he wouldn't think that it was the soldiers of the Ninth Company attacking them. Because that's just death.

"It can't be the ghosts of those gutter corpses, the wails." Some superstitious Japanese soldiers couldn't help but start thinking.

But in their strange moments, the sound was getting closer and closer, like a sledgehammer striking at their souls.

"Kill !!"

Qin Chuan took the lead in rushing out of the darkness and appeared in the field of vision of those Japanese soldiers.

He was covered in blood, and even his face was soaked with blood from the gutters, and his whole body smelled of decay peculiar to corpses.

When those Japanese soldiers saw Qin Chuan for the first time, they didn't want to pick up the 38 big gaier next to them and shoot, but shouted, "Ghost!" And he began to flee in all directions.

The fear and rout of one soldier also led the other Japanese soldiers to flee in all directions.

Qin Chuan saw this Japanese army, and the flower trap in his hand began to shoot wildly.

"Da !!"

At close range, the suppressive power of the flower machine is not inferior to that of a light machine gun. And the moment he rushed out, the soldiers of the Ninth Company behind him also rushed out of the darkness.

More than a dozen flower traps opened fire at the same time, and hundreds of bullets poured on the Japanese position in the blink of an eye.

The appearance of these people is similar to Qin Chuan, they are all covered in blood and rancid smell. The soldiers thought it was a resurrected ghost in the gutter and had come to them for revenge.

For a while, no one chose to resist, but ran forward without dying.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ninth Company in the other two directions also rushed to the Japanese position with submachine guns in their hands.

"Kill!!"

They were like impermanence ghosts seeking their lives, and the flower mechanism in their hands was a soul hook, shooting wildly at the Japanese soldiers who were in chaos because of fear.

Some Japanese soldiers reacted that these people might not be ghosts, but that the enemy attacked them and wanted to fight back with guns. But the comrades-in-arms around him have already made a mess and fled in all directions, and they are also unable to support themselves.

Under the dense fire of the flower machine at close range, these Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded. Next to the bonfire, a layer of Japanese corpses was piled up in a short time. More Japanese soldiers fell to the ground under the strafing fire of the flower machine, and many Japanese soldiers chose to flee and run into the dark night.

Qin Chuan quickly replaced the empty magazine, and fired wildly at the fleeing Japanese soldiers. The muzzle of the spear that sprayed flames seemed to be releasing Qin Chuan's vengeful anger.

One bullet after another, it was like the bullets that the Japanese army once hit Xiaobao, the bullets that hit each of their comrades. At this moment, those bullets were sprayed out of the muzzle of the flower machine, and they were returned to these Japanese devils.

Xiao Mao, who has always been cowardly, also completely broke out at this time. The flower trap in his hand barely stops firing bullets. The barrel of his gun also turned red due to the high temperature generated by the continuous firing of bullets.

One by one, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground under his shot, as if every Japanese soldier here was a ghost soldier who killed Xiaobao.

The veterinarian roared hoarsely, his fingers on the trigger of the flower machine, and kept pulling the trigger, shooting bullets into the Japanese soldiers' bodies.

Originally, he only saved people, but never killed people. But now he kills cattle and devils, not people.

These beasts who killed Xiaobao and slaughtered the lives of countless innocent people, hell is their destination.

Every Japanese soldier killed here does not deserve half a cent of pity and mercy. Only sending them to hell is what the soldiers of the Ninth Company and the flower mechanism in their hands should do.

Some commanders of the Japanese army, shouting to gather soldiers.

But those soldiers were already frightened, and in the dense gunfire and screams, they could not hear the shouts of their commanders at all, and they either fled in all directions, or knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the "ghosts" to admit their mistakes.

Those "ghosts" did not choose mercy, and the flower mechanism in their hands kept spraying the flame of revenge, knocking down the Japanese soldiers to the ground one by one.

A squadron of 200 Japanese troops was already in complete confusion at this time. It only took more than ten minutes for a position to be filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. And from the beginning to the end, they did not even organize an effective counterattack.

In addition to the dozens of Japanese soldiers who fled into the darkness, the other more than 100 Japanese soldiers were all defeated on the position by the flower mechanism in the hands of the Ninth Company.

Some of the Japanese soldiers were only wounded and were still wailing above the positions. Qin Chuan and the others walked past the position, and as long as they saw the Japanese soldiers who were still wailing, they would immediately replenish their guns and shoot.

With each burst of gunfire, a wailing Japanese soldier was killed on the ground.

Xiao Mao held a flower trap and kept shooting at the corpse of a Japanese soldier until the magazine was empty, and then stopped shooting.

Rokuko walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

After emptied all the dozens of bullets in the magazine, Xiao Mao collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

The Japanese soldier he shot frantically was one of the soldiers who took Xiaobao from him at that time.

This time, Liuzi didn't say anything to ridicule him again, but said in a low voice: "It's time to clean up the battlefield." ”

"Start cleaning the battlefield, and the little devil's medical kit must be kept." Qin Chuan shouted from above the messy battlefield.

Their troops began to quickly clean up the battlefield, looking for something valuable. And the veterinarian began to bandage the wounds of some of the wounded soldiers.

To Qin Chuan's surprise, there were almost no casualties in their attack. Only a few soldiers suffered some minor injuries.

However, the Japanese army did not have much time left for them, because after Kuroiwa Sakatsu and dozens of his soldiers escaped, they quickly reacted.

Those so-called ghost soldiers were the remnants of the national army, so he immediately sent a telegram to the surrounding troops, asking them to support him. And he also reorganized his dozens of soldiers and began to touch this side.

The soldiers on guard on the periphery hurriedly ran to Qin Chuan's side and said, "Company commander, the little devil's soldiers are back again." I should have reacted to what's going on. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan knew that they should also break through now. Because the reason why they were able to defeat the Japanese army was mainly to do it by surprise. And now the Japanese army that has come back has calmed down, if they bite it, when the troops around the devil come to support, they will have no chance to break through at all.

"The troops are assembled and ready to break out." Qin Chuan shouted.

When the soldiers who were still cleaning the battlefield heard this, they immediately began to assemble.

In the darkness in the distance, the gunfire of the Japanese army for fire reconnaissance had already been heard. A number of stray bullets were also fired at their ground.

Further afield, there were a few more Japanese units that had come to reinforce them, and they were more numerous. Once they completed the encirclement, then the Ninth Company would really be unable to escape.

"Twenty kilometers to the northeast, there is a pier. There should be a ferry there, so we took the ferry and walked along the Yangtze River in the direction of Nanjing. Qin Chuan pointed to the northeast and said.

Before this operation, he had already thought about the breakthrough route after the mission was completed. But he didn't expect that he would be able to use it, because Qin Chuan originally thought that the best result would be that they would die together with this Japanese army.

The big victory at this time made his breakthrough route useful.

When he had finished speaking, he took out a simple map and drew a rough route on it. handed the map into Zhang Changshan's hands.

"Company commander, what are you doing for me?" Zhang Changshan asked with some puzzlement.

Qin Chuan said: "You take the main force to break through to the northeast, and I will take a few people to attract the pursuers of the little devils." I'll meet you at the docks before dawn. If you don't arrive, then you don't have to wait for me, find a way to sneak into the dock and leave by boat. ”

After saying this, he looked at the veterinarian and said, "Veterinarian, don't you want to erect a monument for Xiaobao?" A stone tablet can cost a lot of money, and these oceans are for you. "Those few pieces of ocean are Qinchuan's silver, and they are all given to veterinarians.

Then he looked at the people of the Ninth Company and shouted: "Sixth son, Xiao Mao, out of the ranks!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately took a step forward.

"You two join me to attract enemy fire and cover the breakthrough of the main forces." Qin Chuan said.

After saying this, he gave a military salute to the other soldiers of the Ninth Company. And these soldiers of the Ninth Company returned the salute one after another.

Then, Qin Chuan took Liuzi and Xiao Mao and rushed into the darkness.

As the Japanese guns got closer and closer, the three of them ran wildly to the southeast for some distance, and then began to fire wildly at the pursuing Japanese troops from the flank.

The Japanese troops were attracted by the firepower and thought that the enemy was returning fire. Then they began to pursue the flanks.

At this time, in the dark, the Japanese army could not figure out the exact location of Qinchuan, and could only judge by the sound of gunfire. At this time, he heard the sound of gunfire from his flank, and immediately ordered his troops to pursue him.

Japanese bullets flew from the rear. Qin Chuan took Liuzi and Xiaomao and got into the cotton field, and fled while fighting back.

After about two kilometers of escape, the gunfire behind them gradually thinned out.

"The little devil was dumped by us?" Xiao Mao asked as he sat on the ground panting.

But Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "It's not that we got rid of us, but that we found out that we were just bait, and turned to chase after Platoon Commander Zhang and them." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Liuzi asked.

Qin Chuan pointed to the northeast and said, "Follow up, find Platoon Commander Zhang and join them." ”

After saying that, he took the two of them, took a little detour, and also headed northeast along the road.

They walked and ran for nearly two hours before they reached a silent village.

At this time, Liuzi and Xiaomao were very tired, and they needed to rest a little.

Qin Chuan observed the periphery and found that there were no traces of Japanese army activities in the village, so he touched the village with Liuzi and Xiaomao.

Because of the fierce fighting that lasted for nearly half a month, the people in the village had already run out. Qin Chuan and the others entered the village, and they didn't even hear a dog barking.

The three of them climbed over a low courtyard wall and entered an abandoned courtyard.

The door of the courtyard had been blown open by the Japanese shells, and Qin Chuan and the others entered the house, intending to rest here for a while, and then continue to the northeast until they joined the main force of the Ninth Company.

"You two sleep for a while, I'll be on guard outside." Qin Chuan said.

Liuzi and Xiao Mao were both extremely exhausted, and they really couldn't understand why Qin Chuan's physical strength was so good. The distance they had just marched was more than ten kilometers, to say the least, and they were still running, which would have been exhausted and paralyzed if ordinary people had been exhausted.

When the two of them arrived in the room, they found a random corner and began to fall asleep.

Qin Chuan came to the corner of the courtyard and sat down in the shadow under a water tank. If someone climbs over the wall or pushes the door in, he can see it for the first time, but the most important thing is that the person who comes in can't see Qin Chuan hiding in the shadows.

Time flowed little by little, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside.

Qin Chuan, who was squinting and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He pulled the bolt of the gun very vigilantly, and his eyes were fixed on the gate of the courtyard.

The sound of horses' hooves stopped, and a figure swayed between the cracks in the courtyard door, as if trying to enter.
