But even the current 79 machine gun has not many bullets left, and it can only meet the needs of one machine gun. But Li Ziyuan was still not willing to throw it away, and now it has become redundant other Czech light machine guns. When Li Ziyuan was shrinking his forces, he found a hidden corner, and used the captured raincoat to wrap up the extra machine guns, as well as the remaining weapons, and buried them.

Maybe Li Ziyuan still has a thought in his heart, he still has a chance to break through, and he still has a chance to return here. It is not easy for the troops to get a gun, and every rifle needs to be taken from the enemy. If it is smashed like this, it is really too wasteful. So instead of smashing the unused weapon, he carefully buried it.

The weapons buried by him were not only the weapons left behind by his own sacrificed soldiers, but also the more than 30 captured Japanese rifles. In this battle, Li Ziyuan fought a mountain and exhausted the water, but in the street battle, he also gave the Japanese army a lot of casualties, and captured a lot of Japanese standard firearms. But it's a pity that he didn't capture the seventy-nine bullets he needed the most.

Although the Japanese army also dispatched some puppet troops this time, all of them were Japanese soldiers who entered the battlefield. I don't know why the Japanese army changed its previous convention, did not use the puppet army to take the lead, and only put the puppet army behind them as a guard. So Li Ziyuan had no chance at all, and captured seventy-nine bullets to replenish his troops.

Although the performance of the Czech machine gun is far superior to that of the crooked handle machine gun, it is also quite picky about bullets, and not every seven or nine bullets can be used. The bullets used in Hanyang-made rifles cannot be used on this machine gun. Even the bullets of the captured official rifles of the national standard 79 must be closed one by one before they can be used.

Li Ziyuan, who consumes a lot of ammunition, can only concentrate the few remaining 79 machine gun bullets into one machine gun. The remaining two Type 96 light machine guns, because of the more ammunition captured on the outskirts of Pingchuan, the amount of ammunition is barely sufficient.

If it weren't for the six-five-caliber bullets, which would have little lethality in this kind of close-range combat, Li Ziyuan would rather give up all Czech machine guns for the time being. But in this kind of close combat, the lethality of the seventy-nine bullets is absolutely amazing, as long as it hits, even if it does not die, it will lose its combat effectiveness.

In comparison, the lethality of 65 bullets is still somewhat insufficient. In order to solve the reason for the lack of lethality of the 65 bullets, the Japanese army developed a new type of 65 bullets that Li Ziyuan did not have. The old-fashioned six-five bullets in the hand, for this kind of almost close-to-body melee combat, are still the lethality of one shot and two eyes.

But Li Ziyuan doesn't have a picky now, so he can only replace the satisfactory weapon with an unsatisfactory weapon. No matter how good the weapon is, what is the use of not having enough bullets? It's to give you a Maxim heavy machine gun, or even a mountain gun, but the problem is that it's useless without ammunition.

In addition to the seventy-nine machine gun bullets, there is not much left. At present, there are still more bullets for the 65 rifles, but even the Japanese machine guns, which have the most ammunition for light machine guns, have less than 200 rounds of ammunition each. However, this is not too much of a problem, the Japanese army's 65-caliber machine guns can use Type 38 rifle cartridges when necessary.

But the problem is that the number of grenades is less than one per person, on average. This is undoubtedly the most headache for Li Ziyuan in the current war situation. On such a melee battlefield with piles of rubble, grenades and shell guns are the best weapons. To a certain extent, more than machine guns. But now that there are few grenades left, I am afraid that the next battle will be even more difficult.

As for the Jinzao submachine guns, not only have all the bullets been exhausted. The quality is not high, and I don't know how many hands these old guys have basically been broken. Even if there were bullets, they would be useless at the moment. When the last bullet is fired, either the gun frequently jams, or the barrel expands and the bullet falls to the ground.

Looking at the Jin-made submachine gun in his hand that could only be scrapped because of high-intensity use, Li Ziyuan was also very helpless. That's the quality of this thing, the barrel of a bullet that swells after a few hundred rounds. If more than 1,000 bullets are fired, the gun will be full of failures. Even if there are bullets, I am afraid they will no longer be used.

These Jin-made submachine guns, which were basically destroyed, were the only weapons that Li Ziyuan ordered to be destroyed. This operation Jin made a deep impression on Li Ziyuan's troops. Those veterans, after a few years, would rather use an old-fashioned single-shot rifle than such a powerful weapon.

It was only a few years later, after the seizure of the original American-made Thomson submachine gun, that all the cadres and fighters understood what exactly was the difference between the original and the knockoff. The life span of the original Thomson submachine gun in the United States, as well as the intensity of firepower, are far from being comparable to the Jin imitation. Every captured American-made submachine gun made the cadres and soldiers love it.

But for the moment, these quality is not good, plus I don't know how many hands, all the Jinzao submachine guns that were scrapped after high-intensity use in World War I are the best melee weapons in Li Ziyuan's department. The scrapping of these Jin-made submachine guns and the lack of ammunition available made Li Ziyuan's department lose its main melee firepower.

And that's not all. The most important thing is that in this kind of street fighting, close combat, there are not enough grenades. Li Ziyuan hesitated for a moment, and left all the grenades, except for a few under the repeated requests of the wounded, and left the rest to Liu Lianming and the remaining squad of his direct platoon.

The others, including themselves, were still combatants who used short guns and Jin-made submachine guns, and machine gunners. Each person had a captured Type 38 rifle, or a Hanyang-made rifle left behind by a sacrificed soldier. He Huizhang, who had exhausted the grenadier grenade, also carried the grenadier in his hand behind him, and at this time he was holding a Type 96 light machine gun in his hand, which no longer had the Type 96 light machine gun used by the owner.

When the Japanese artillery sounded once, Li Ziyuan, who knew that he was afraid that he was no longer able to withstand another round of attacks by the Japanese army, replaced the fast and slow machine in his hand with a new magazine. The last dozen scattered bullets in his hand were pressed into an empty magazine.

A Southern Type 14 pistol captured during the battle was also double-checked. to prevent this unreliable guy from giving himself a strike at the most critical moment. After doing all this, Li Ziyuan put a captured Type 38 rifle on the bullet and placed it beside him, and he was ready for the last fight.

Although Li Ziyuan did not give any orders, the work done by Li Ziyuan at this time was a kind of wordless order. Seeing that Li Ziyuan was ready for the last fight, the soldiers around him were also ready for the last fight. The wounded, who were already unable to move, gathered together, and a squad leader unscrewed a grenade safety cap in his hand.

He Sanliang and Zeng Sheng, after glancing at each other. pressed the last bullet in his hand into his own barge gun, and finally checked the bullet in the chamber of the Hanyang-made gun in his hand, and put the bayonet on the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand. The short, carbine, which was not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, in Liu Lianming's hand, had also been replaced with a 38-style rifle with a good bayonet.

Seeing that the wounded are preparing to commit suicide, and the brothers who are also silently preparing for the last battle. Li Ziyuan's heart was unusually painful. He knew that he had made a mistake in judgment and put the troops in a desperate situation. A reinforced company of troops, now only a third of the wounded, remained. The entire village was almost littered with corpses, all of which were the corpses of their own soldiers.

At present, among the wounded are all lightly wounded, those who are seriously wounded cannot retreat because they are too tightly entangled with the enemy, most of them pull the last grenade with the Japanese soldiers who rushed over, and some who committed suicide in order not to drag down the troops, none of them can be withdrawn. Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Ziyuan felt that his heart was bleeding.

But now it was not yet time to break through, the night was not deep enough, and the Japanese troops in front were not tired enough. The most important thing is that the Japanese army in front of them bites themselves quite tightly. If you retreat now, you and the only remaining soldiers around you will be sunk in the turbidity of the Zhang River by the Japanese firepower like a target.

If you don't break through, when the surrounding Japanese troops complete their deployment and press them down again, can you still resist a new round of attacks by the Japanese army? Li Ziyuan doesn't have that bottom in his heart at all now. And for him, it will not be acceptable for him to leave the wounded and break through by himself.

Li Ziyuan suppressed the pain in his heart, and Guo Xiaoshan, who didn't know when he came to his side, looked at him with a pair of good-looking big eyes on his face blackened by artillery fire with the 44-type riding gun in his arms, and said, "Battalion commander, can we still stand out?" Are we all going to die here? ”

Looking at Guo Xiaoshan, who had grown his hair in front of him and had short ear-length hair, Li Ziyuan habitually touched her head, but did not answer her, but directly asked Guo Laosan to call. After Guo Laosan came to Li Ziyuan's side, Li Ziyuan said directly: "After a while, when the Japanese army launches an attack, you take Xiaoshanzi and retreat directly to the north."

"As soon as you get close to the river, you can see improvised rafts made of door panels. Once you're on the raft, don't worry about what happens here, just paddle downstream. As long as you pass the section of Hubei County, you will be safe. Lao Guo, Xiaoshanzi is still very young, and she is a girl, she can't stay here. ”

"After you go out, if you are willing to stay in the army, go to the mountains to find Secretary Liu and the permanent instructor. If you don't want to stay in the army, find a place to bury your gun, change into civilian clothes and find a life by yourself. With your old Guo's ability, you should be able to live well. ”

After Li Ziyuan finished speaking, Guo Xiaoshan kept Li Ziyuan alive and cried: "Battalion commander, I won't leave, I will stay and fight with you." I'm a girl, but I'm also a soldier now, and I'm also a soldier in our Hubei Independent Battalion. You're here, everyone is here, I'm not going anywhere, I'm here, I'm going to die, everyone is dying together. ”

Here, Guo Laosan watched his daughter hugging Li Ziyuan and not letting go, but he didn't speak. It wasn't until Guo Xiaoshan's cry was a little weaker, and he said, "Battalion commander, now that I have joined the army, I should abide by the rules of the team." As Xiao Shanzi said, I can't be a deserter at this time, I want to die, everyone dies together. ”

"Xiao Shanzi and I are now on the team, and we can't abandon our brothers and live alone. I didn't lose a brother back then, and I won't lose my brother now. If I do that, I will have no face in this world. Battalion commander, if we all die here today, it will be my grandfather's life. People can fight anything, but don't fight with life. ”
