Chapter 4: I guess it was a master
"There's a squad of devils here?" Zhao Zilong was stunned.
He turned his head to look to the west, and when he saw the figure of the big cow's family rushing to the road in the distance, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
Originally, he thought that there were only one or twenty devils coming, so he would snipe here to attract the other party to besiege and buy time for Da Niu's family to leave.
Because the big cow pushed Cuihua with a cart, and ran with two old men, the speed was not much faster. If the devil finds out, it won't take half an hour to catch up.
Now that there are so many devils, Zhao Zilong is not afraid, but worried that if the devils divide their troops to chase after Da Niu's family, it will be dangerous. After all, he is just one person, and it is difficult to intercept all the devils.
"It doesn't matter, if the devil doesn't find the big bull, it's fine, if you chase them, you will stop them even if you let them go."
Shaking his head and throwing away his troubles, Zhao Zilong slowly squinted his eyes and pointed the 38 big cover at a devil officer riding a tall horse in the distance.
-
"Captain Matsui, shall we send soldiers to the mountain first?" Seeing a mountain in front of him that was about one or two hundred meters high, with a radius of two or three kilometers, and dense forests, Xiaoshan Shiyuan asked.
"Deputy Captain Xiaoshan, are you worried that there is an enemy on the mountain?"
Matsui Jiro looked at the other party, with a sneer in his eyes, shook his head and said, "No need, since our Imperial Army landed in China, those soldiers were defeated by us in one blow. Now they run away when they see us, let alone the timid people. So, how could anyone dare to attack us from the mountains? ”
"Yo Xi Yo Xi, Captain Matsui is so right!" Xiaoshan Shiyuan immediately nodded and flattered.
"Captain, we found Sang Tian and the others at the foot of the hill in front, but their jade was broken." While the two were talking, a devil soldier ran over to report.
"What?" Matsui's face changed drastically, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately urged the troops to rush over.
Seeing that the team of devils suddenly quickened his pace, Zhao Zilong was stunned. He couldn't help but turn around and look to the west, and when he still saw the figure of the Da Niu family, his brows furrowed, and his hand holding the rifle tightened.
When he saw the corpses of the five soldiers lying on the ground, Matsui Jiro's face became hideous, and he said angrily: "How did the warriors of our great empire die? ”
"Captain Matsui, two of the five warriors had their throats crushed, and the other three were shot with pistols. To be able to kill our warriors at such a close distance, I guess it was a master. Xiaoshan Shiyuan replied immediately after inspection.
"Oh?" Jiro Matsui looked at each other suspiciously.
"Also, their blood hasn't dried yet, which means that it has just happened. Now that there is no one around, it is possible that this person is hiding in the mountains. Xiaoshan Shiyuan pointed to the hill.
Jiro Matsui looked up at Koyama, a flash of anger in his eyes.
"Report!" At this time, a devil soldier ran over with a bunch of tripods: "Captain Matsui, we found these tripods." ”
When Jiro Matsui saw the bronze tripod at a glance, he immediately grabbed it with one hand and observed it carefully.
Before the Japanese army set out to attack Nanjing, it was explained that everything they saw such as tripods should be collected and handed over. Therefore, as long as they saw in the burning, killing and looting along the way, they robbed it, so Matsui Jiro also had a few tripods in his satchel.
Now that he found a bronze tripod with a style that was more like an antique, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He remembered that his uncle Matsui Shiyin said that if he found such a tripod, it was more important than making a military exploit.
"Report!" At this time, another devil soldier ran over: "Captain Matsui, I found that there are a few people running away three or four kilometers to the west.
"Nani?" Matsui Jiro immediately put away the bronze tripod, turned around, and when he saw the figure in the distance, his face suddenly became hideous.
"Captain Takahashi, you arrange for people to bury our warriors." Jiro Matsui furrowed his brows and shouted fiercely, "Others, pursue immediately." ”
"Hay!" A tall and thin devil soldier Cao nodded and immediately commanded his subordinates.
"Phew!"
At that moment, a gunshot rang out from the other side of the hill.
Zhao Zilong, who was on the mountain, wanted to shoot at Jiro Matsui, but because he hadn't tried this kind of three-eight big cover, and because the other party got off the horse and stood in the middle of the crowd, it was difficult to aim, so he gave up.
And now, as soon as he saw that the enemy was going to chase Da Niu and the others, he immediately moved the head of his gun and shot at a devil soldier who was running in front.
The bullet flew over the person's head, and the other party suddenly felt a chill on his head, and after being stunned for a while, he quickly fell down, and his face was colorless.
"There is an enemy, fight back, fight back." Matsui Jiro reacted quite quickly, he quickly lay down, took out the Wang Ba box and ordered loudly.
Those devils all looked for cover to hide, holding guns towards the hill where the gunshots rang out just now, but it was quiet there, and they didn't find anything.
"Deputy Captain Xiaoshan, did you say that the master on the mountain?" Jiro Matsui asked in a whisper.
"Probably not, he's so bad at marksmanship." Xiaoshan Shiyuan shook his head and analyzed.
"Well, that makes sense." Jiro Matsui nodded, and then ordered a devil soldier: "You go up and have a look." ”
The first shot just now was a little off, but Zhao Zilong was not discouraged, because it was just a test shot, and by the way, he was scaring the devil.
The purpose of testing a gun is to correct the accuracy of the shot.
Although he is familiar with all kinds of firearms in modern times, he has not used this 38 big cover, and he can't guarantee a shot from a long distance.
Because of the long distance, the bullets flying out will be affected by the weather, wind direction, and wind speed, not that the target can be hit by the sight of the front sight on the barrel of the gun and the aiming of the ruler, so it is necessary to test the gun.
Now that he has tried that shot, Zhao Zilong basically understands the performance of this 38 big cover.
Pulling the bolt and reloading the bullet, even though he had just used this rifle, his movements were smooth.
He narrowed his eyes, rubbed the thumb and index finger of his right hand lightly a few times, and then placed his index finger on the board machine, and aimed the spear at the devil soldier who appeared under the mountain. Because the other party was wearing a steel helmet, he lowered the muzzle of the gun a little lower.
Bang!
This shot hit the shoulder of the devil soldier, and the other party immediately screamed, the gun in his hand was taken off, and the person fell to the ground.
"It's still a little bit off." Zhao Zilong shook his head and immediately rolled his body and rushed to the other side.
"Woo Woo ......"
As soon as he left his original position, dozens of bullets flew over the mountain. The leaves and branches around the place where he had just hid crackled and fell.
"Captain Takahashi, you lead the team to pursue." Seeing that there was only one person on the mountain, Jiro Matsui gave the order and shouted again, "The others immediately chase after the Shina people in front." ”
"Hay!" The detachment leader named Takahashitu immediately waved his hand, and immediately more than a dozen devil soldiers picked up their guns and surrounded the mountain.
"The little devil has good marksmanship." Zhao Zilong sighed in his heart.
But when he saw that the devil squad leader commanding the soldiers to chase after him to the west, his heart tightened.
Without thinking about it, Zhao Zilong immediately pointed his gun at a ghost soldier at the front in the distance.
Bang!
As the gun rang out, the devil soldier was shot in the back, threw himself forward and fell to the ground, struggling a few times before moving.
Bang! Bang!
Before the others could react, two more gunshots rang out from the mountain, and two more devil soldiers fell one after another.
At this moment, those devils were so frightened that they hurriedly moved away from the hill, and looked back at their detachment leaders, and those detachment leaders looked at Matsui Jiro, so no one dared to chase after the people in the west for a while.
Because the hill is surrounded by open flat land, if you don't want to be chased by bullets, you have to go around in a big circle, but then you have to run a long way, and it is difficult to catch up with the people in front of you.
Seeing his subordinates all looking at him, Matsui Jiro was stunned, but then he also realized the problem and vaguely guessed the intention of the attacker on the mountain.
He immediately shouted angrily: "Takahashito, you bastard, why don't you go and clean up the people on the mountain?" ”
Takahashitu over there was startled when he heard this, and immediately ordered a team of soldiers to rush up the mountain.
Zhao Zilong was so frightened that he stopped when he saw those devils, and immediately turned his gun to the enemy who rushed up.
But there was a click from the 38 big cover, and no bullets were fired.
