Chapter 7: The Sharpshooter
"Platoon commander."
Wang Dazhu shouted, and Qian Sixi and Qian Sixi ran over with three rifles on their backs, holding two boxes, one large and one small. The rifle is easy to say, it is all the 38 type that everyone seized yesterday, the devil's rifle is still well maintained, it looks like it is eighty percent new, and he pulled the bolt twice, Gao Quan is more satisfied. Although this gun has a simple structure, it is better to be stable and durable. There were two boxes, the smaller one was filled with yellow bullets, and the larger one was full of grenades.
The pain of the wound in his left shoulder has been reduced a lot, and the medical soldiers of the Second Division have given him medicine and re-bandaged, but fortunately he has not injured his bones, and the bullet has not been left in the flesh, and it will not take long to recover as before. Gao Quan took out a pack of biscuits from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, this is the trophy captured from the camp of the Yue army, Gao Quan secretly hid two packets, although he had a meal after coming back, before the battle began, Gao Quan still wanted to supplement some nutrition, once the fight started, he didn't know when the next meal would be eaten.
Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi looked at Gao Quan curiously, and they were really puzzled by the good appetite of this new platoon commander, when they ate an hour ago, this platoon seat didn't eat at all, why are they hungry again?
"You guys too?" Gao Quan was not stingy, and pushed the half-packet of biscuits in his hand in front of the two subordinates. The two of them shook their heads at the same time, it was common sense not to eat when they were not hungry, and these two people had no bad habit of snacking at all.
"The devil is coming!"
As soon as the cannon stopped, Gao Quan threw the last biscuit into his mouth, shouted vaguely, hugged his 38 style, turned around and threw himself at the battlement. Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi followed and found their own shooting positions on the left and right sides of Gao Quan.
The lights flickered, and the first to come along the official road were two devil chariots, and behind the chariots were groups of infantry. The devil is going to fight at night!
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Cannonballs fired from the small cannons on the devil's chariot hit the city walls, and bricks and stones flew wildly. The mortars of the 2nd Provisional Division also began to return fire, although the effect was not great, and it was better than nothing. Luo Wenyu closed the door tightly, and was smashed by a few cannons of the devils, with the devil's chariot in front and the infantry behind, charging towards the dilapidated city gate.
The soldiers of the Second Provisional Division braved the rain of bullets from the devils, and although they failed several times, they finally succeeded in blowing up the two chariots of the devils at the cost of the lives of a dozen people. The devil's infantry were like death squads, with strips of white cloth tied on their heads, shouting wildly, and frantically rushing out from behind the chariot lying on their stomachs, and our soldiers greeted the devil with rifle bullets. Several fortified firepower points in front of the city gate cave exerted great power, inflicting huge damage on the swarming devils. The devil's machine gun is also focusing on taking care of these machine gun fortifications, and people are constantly replenishing the fortifications.
The warriors below fought to the death with the devils, and Gao Quan spent a lot of time on the city wall to name the devils with his rifle. A short and fat devil had a strip of cloth wrapped around his head, very similar to some kind of female surname product, and there was a large obvious blood-red scar in the middle of the strip of cloth, which made the strip of cloth even more vivid. The short and fat devil held the war knife in his hand, and kept turning around and shouting loudly as the ghost soldiers behind him rushed forward. This guy who is suspected of being a devil officer unfortunately fell into Gao Quan's eyes.
This guy's bushido spirit is obviously not resolute enough, just shouting at others to rush forward, but he himself only stays in place and wields his sword, and does not move forward at all. The devils behind him don't know if it's because their heads are missing a string, or if they're too afraid of this guy, and none of the devils who just talk and don't practice like this guy stand up and ask this guy to rush to the front. The devil in the back, probably bewitched or threatened by him, suffocated his head, and ran forward vigorously to send him to death.
Gao Quan squinted his eyes and took a closer look. This distance is a bit far, although his shooting skills are outstanding, but after all, he is not a full-time blocker, and if you want to hit this devil officer, you really have to aim well.
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, the head was wrapped in a strip of red spotted cloth, and the command knife was held in his hand, and the short and fat devil who was howling loudly stopped shouting and froze, and suddenly there was a hole in the red mark in the middle of the strip of cloth on his head, and an unknown liquid flowed out of it, like a ripe tomato, which was pierced by a naughty child with chopsticks.
This guy's abnormality was quickly discovered by other devils, and immediately two devils with the same head wrapped in cloth came over and helped the devil officer who was already dead down. Gao Quan's rifle still sounded from time to time, but these two guys supporting the short and fat officer were no longer his target, and it was not his job to spend so much energy and energy at such a long distance to fight two worthless followers. There are devils outside the city wall, these devils are not so far away, one by one stupidly rushing forward with rifles, even if the devils lie down from time to time to find concealment, it is difficult to help Gao Quan, almost no need to aim, can ensure that one shot is one, and the gun does not miss. It's the same as when he shoots a moving target, it's comfortable, and he even has time to take out a cigarette and take a puff.
Humpty Dumpty probably had a good position in this army, and his death obviously caused a lot of shock to the attacking devils, and the devils were no longer as powerful as they were at the beginning.
The regiment commander Qi Guangyuan led a group of men and horses to desperately block Yue Kou in the city gate cave, and the hundreds of meters of official road in front of the city gate hole were piled up with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the blood flowed into a stream.
Division commander Liu Ruming personally inspected various positions and commanded the soldiers to bravely resist the enemy. When they walked next to Gao Quan and the three of them, Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi panicked and wanted to stand up and salute the division commander, but Liu Ruming hurriedly waved his hand to stop them. It's not that he really pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, it's really that he is fighting a war now, and it doesn't make much sense to talk about so much red tape, besides, who knows if anyone on the devil's position is looking this way with a telescope? As soon as I saluted here, I was discovered by the observed devils, okay, there is a big official here, concentrate on shooting a few cannons here, or send a few blockers to aim this side, one is careless, Liu Shizuo is hanging here, so how wronged is he?
Gao Quan narrowed there, aimed outward with his rifle, and was indifferent to the arrival of the division commander, but when Wang Dazhu and the two of them stood up, they turned a little sideways, and after Liu Ruming stopped these two people, he immediately turned around. Liu Ruming stood behind them and observed the battle of the three soldiers. Liu Ruming was extremely surprised by Gao Quan's accurate and calm marksmanship, the gun could be like this, and he really couldn't find a few in his troops, even if it was the so-called sharpshooter inside, it might not be able to compare with Gao Quan, just he stood here for a short while, Gao Quan put a total of two shots, and killed two devils, don't miss the gun!
