Chapter 7 Man Jianghong (No. 1 Middle School)

Maybe they were stunned by the surprise attack of the Chinese army, or maybe they were accumulating strength to plot crazy revenge. Throughout the second half of the night of the 15th and the morning of the 16th, there were no reinforcements from the devils around the walnut orchard. The brothers of the secret service group were overjoyed, and took advantage of the free time when the devils were not coming to entangle, and raced against time to count the results of the battle and build fortifications.

The harvest of this night can be described as "breathtaking". Due to the lack of manpower, the little devils temporarily hoarded a lot of supplies that should have been replenished to the front line in time in the Walnut Garden camp. I thought it would be foolproof, but it all ended up in the hands of the secret service, which made the brothers in the battalion responsible for counting the supplies almost laugh and couldn't close their mouths.

Grenades, grenades counted in boxes, roughly counted in hundreds of boxes, neatly stacked in boxes, the fluted shells glowing with a cold metallic luster under the light of calcium carbide lamps. At that time, there was a recruit named Li Changnian who grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms, but Shi Liangcai held his hand down, "Don't move, do you know how to use this thing?" I accidentally blew it up, and everyone is finished together! ”

"Isn't it just unscrewing the lid and pulling the rope from the head?" Li Changnian, a recruit who had only been in the army for less than two months, withdrew his hand and responded timidly.

"Lao Tzu knows this! Fortunately, Lao Tzu's hands are fast enough! Shi Liangcai touched his forehead exaggeratedly and counted in a low voice. Looking back, he found that there were several brothers around who were holding devil's grenades and preparing to screw the safety cover, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, flew over, and the slasher was a big slap, "Look for death!" If you want to stay away, don't drag others down here! ”

"Ahh The brother who was slapped did not expect that the company elder, who usually looked amiable, would actually say that he would be beaten, covering his face and his eyes straight. Shi Liangcai was beaten one by one, and the more he hit, the lighter his hand fell. In the end, he was so angry that he was in no mood to fight, pulled out the box cannon and fired a shot into the sky, and then shouted loudly: "Put the grenade back into the box for me, don't twist the safety cover, whoever dares to screw it, Lao Tzu will kill him immediately!" ”

A few veterans who habitually liked to unscrew the lid of the grenade and pin it to their waists listened to him and quickly put the grenade that had been hidden in their arms back into the box. Shi Liangcai turned over the back of his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and continued to explain loudly, "This thing is called Forty-Eight Petals, which is different from those made in Shanxi in our hands. There is no lead in it, so you don't need to pull it when you use it, and after unscrewing the cap, you only need to knock it lightly....." (Note 1)

Lest everyone didn't listen carefully enough, he quickly inserted the box gun back into his waist, took a Japanese grenade, unscrewed the safety cover, and then lightly knocked on the corner of the box, and quickly threw the grenade out of the camp!

The grenade rolled on the ground a few times without giving face, and then it was motionless, just as Shi Liangcai's face began to turn red and purple, "Boom! With a thud, the grenade exploded, and the smoke rose into the sky!

Compared to Shanxi, which becomes four or five pieces at most in one explosion, this thing is too strong. It can't be called a grenade, it should be called a palm mine! Thinking that he was about to unscrew the cover of the grenade and stuff it into his arms just now, several veterans of the first company shook under their feet, and a fart sat on the ground. Shi Liangcai laughed and walked over, pulled the brothers up one by one, and then shouted to him, "Spread the boxes apart, don't put them together again." Note that any brother who comes to receive the grenade must be taught how to use it, or else they will be unlucky! ”

"Got it!!" The brothers of the first company agreed in unison, and looked at the company elder with gratitude.

Zhang Songling was carrying another pile of boxes with a few brothers from the second company, and accidentally saw the "wonderful performance" of his old friend Shi Liangcai, and couldn't help but secretly break out in a cold sweat. Not long ago, he saw with his own eyes that the desperate little devil officer, with a few people, unscrewed the lid of the grenade and placed it next to the ammunition box. If a grenade had exploded, I am afraid that the entire Walnut Orchard camp would have been blown into the sky by the detonated ammunition.

Shi Liangcai was also a little scared in his heart, walked up to Zhang Songling with a smile, and said in a low voice: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu is also playing with this thing for the first time, I have only seen little devils use it before, and I have never touched the real thing with my own hands!" ”

"Like, it seems that the delay is relatively long!" Zhang Songling was still immersed in the memories of his past experience, looking at the still smoking crater not far from the camp, and responded reluctantly.

"...... delay?" Shi Liangcai was stunned, and it took a little effort to figure out the delay time in Zhang Songling's mouth, referring to the time difference between the grenade firing the primer and the official explosion, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, the delay time seems to be longer than our Shanxi manufacturing." Thanks to its long delay, otherwise, the two of us probably wouldn't have had a chance to stand here! ”

"It's a loss to have two pairs of sharp eyes!"

"The second deputy is a lucky general!" A few brothers who had kicked grenades outside the camp with Liao Wenhua came over and slapped Zhang Songling's ass loudly. At that time, everyone didn't think much about it at all, they just felt that they couldn't let the little devil's plan succeed. Looking back now, I realize how horrible the situation was. It was hundreds of boxes of grenades and hundreds of boxes of all kinds of bullets, and once there was a martyrdom, everyone near the camp at that time, whether it was the Japanese devils or the brothers of the secret service, would definitely end up with no bones.

"It was a coincidence! It just so happened! Zhang Songling blushed and was modest, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

"Fools have foolish blessings!" Liao Wenhua also walked over with a smile and reached out to rub Zhang Songling's hair. They had just fought side by side, and the estrangement between the two began to melt rapidly. Although they still feel that many of each other's behaviors are very awkward, they no longer want each other to disappear from their eyes immediately.

"Luck has always been enviable! As the saying goes, people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away! "Zhao Dafeng, deputy of the third company, was the first to rush into the devil's camp tonight, but he did not personally cut the leader of the devil's squadron like Liao Wenhua, nor did he save the lives of the brothers in the whole regiment at a critical moment like Zhang Songling. The tone of voice when he speaks is sour, and he is absent-minded when he carries things.

"Lao Zhao, be careful!" Wu Hongkui, the commander of the third company, saw that Zhao Dafeng's strength in his hand was not even, and hurriedly reminded him loudly beside him. It's a pity that it was too late, Zhao Dafeng's body shook, his fingers loosened, and the box he was carrying fell to the ground with a "clang".

Note 1: Type 91 grenades, the Japanese army began to equip troops in 1931. The surface of the whole bullet is divided into 48 pieces, so the Chinese soldiers call it a "48-petal" grenade. The advantage is that there are many fragments when exploding, and the attack power is strong. The disadvantage is that the weight is large and the delay is too long.
