Chapter 734
Trumpet!
The gunfire was crisp, and the Japanese soldier trembled and fell to the ground with a scream.
The people and guards looked back in surprise, some didn't react to what was going on, but the Japanese soldiers were already in a mess, scrambling to the ground, screaming and screaming!
Horn Horn Horn ......
In the next moment, gunshots like bursting beans rang out in all directions, and the four or five Japanese soldiers were instantly knocked down, some died on the spot, some were injured and wailing and shaking the sky, carrying rifles and aiming around, not knowing what direction they were grabbing from at all.
"Mom......"
"There's an ambush!"
It was only at this point that many people and guards reacted, some screaming and lying on the ground, and some crawling towards the rolling and crawling to get their guns.
It's just that the bullets rained down, knocking this group of people to the ground one after another, the range of the box gun is not far, but the full 20 rounds of ammunition capacity, plus the burst function, in the case of short-distance shooting, it is simply comparable to a small machine gun, although the muzzle is too jump when the continuous fire is very low, but now, dozens of box guns are fired together, it is clear that the quantity wins, and it can completely make up for the lack of accuracy.
A grenade flew over and exploded in the crowd, both the guards and the coolies were blown away, and the howls were endless.
They didn't want to blow up the coolies, but they had no choice.
Any living mouth has the possibility of leaking secrets, which will affect the plan of the entire battle situation, so they have to kill the killer, not to mention, those guards, and two Japanese soldiers who have not died after being shot are still shooting in the crowd, and they are stubbornly resisting.
The sound of gunshots, explosions and fires, spread far away, and they were particularly conspicuous in this dark and silent night.
At the head of the city in Zhongmu County, the Japanese troops of the brigade are patrolling with guns, although they are desperately searching every day, they can still only eat a little bit of barely stomach-wrapping food, and even the war horses that can be killed are killed to eat meat, and ordinary soldiers will not starve to death, originally the entire division and two cavalry wings of five or six hundred horses, and now only one squadron of more than 100 horses has been killed, which shows how much food in Zhongmu City has reached.
But even though those soldiers felt fluttering when they walked, their mental state did not seem to be greatly affected by hunger, which made people have to admire the tenacity and tenacity of these Japanese soldiers.
"Sir, there's fire over there, and gunshots!"
A soldier saw the flickering firelight and the faint sound of gunfire in the distance, and hurriedly screamed and reported to the ears of the leading soldier.
"Baga, could it be that the Chinese army is coming?"
Jun Cao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the rest of the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, and he trotted down the city wall, and quickly reported to the upper peak, and it didn't take long for the matter of gunfire to be discovered in the distance, and it had already gone through layers of feedback and entered the ears of the division commander Kenji Dohihara.
"Send scouts to investigate immediately and see what is going on and how many enemies there are!"
Although he knew that if a large force appeared in the vicinity, it would be impossible to hide the eyes and ears scattered all around, but when he discovered the possible enemy, Kenji Dohihara still seemed extremely cautious.
A good general must not only have absolute confidence in the abilities of his subordinates, but also have a heart that will never despise the enemy.
"Hey......" A squad leader said in high spirits, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
The intelligence officer suddenly spoke at this time, frowned, and said: "Your Excellency, I think of one thing - the surrounding supply is not smooth, the number of garrisons in Kaifeng is very small, and there are many small lurking forces in the vicinity to attack and harass at any time, and the garrisons over there do not dare to go out of the city at will to avoid being ambushed by the Chinese army; However, Kaifeng's Okura Shaozo learned that our 14th Division was short of food, and he had mobilized the good people of Kaifeng to raise grain and grass for our army to solve the urgent need, and yesterday I called to say that the team transporting grain and grass had set off in makeup, and I thought that I would be able to arrive before dark tonight - I suspect that the battle over there was a small force of the Chinese army intercepting the team sent by Okura Shaozo to transport grain and grass! ”
"Bage Yalu, damn the Chinese army, dare to rob my Imperial Japanese Army of life-saving food, die, die!"
The officers present roared in unison when they heard this, and how they could not be angry when they thought that everyone on their side was starving, but the food that had been transported was robbed.
"The people of China, their conscience is greatly broken!"
Kenji Tsuchihara couldn't help but snort angrily: "Pass my order, send the remaining cavalry squadron to quickly go over to respond, if it is a large group of the army that is fighting, immediately retreat, if there is really a small group of the army to plunder our army's food, and work hard and die!"
"Hi ......"
The cavalry squadron leader bowed hard, trotted out to assemble the team, and went out of the city like a whirlwind, speeding away in the direction from which the guns came.
However, soon after leaving the city, the speed of the cavalry began to slow down rapidly, due to the excessive mud on the roads and the physical exhaustion of the horses.
After all, in this Zhongmu County, not only the Japanese soldiers are starving, but those war horses are also starving, and their physical strength has dropped by more than half compared to their peak state, and each war horse has been thin into a skeleton.
However, the cavalry is cavalry after all, and the speed is still much faster than the infantry, according to the distance of the gunfire, the place where the exchange of fire occurred is about 20 miles away from Zhongmu County, and it takes several hours on foot, but the cavalry arrived within an hour.
"Drive!"
Every cavalryman was thrashing their horses vigorously, hoping to speed up a little, and the thought that the food that might have been sent over there had been robbed, they had the urge to split the horses of the men who had robbed them.
The sound of gunfire gradually thinned out and never stopped, which made the hearts of these Japanese cavalrymen breathe a little sigh of relief - as long as the exchange of fire continued, it meant that the enemy had not succeeded, and they still had hope of snatching back their own food.
Gold Mountain, gunfire continues.
The recalcitrant guards and the Japanese had been cornered, and they had not retreated to the muddy land above and below, for once they reached the ground, they would be slow-moving targets.
Thundered......
A grenade exploded at the hiding place of the guards and two Japanese soldiers, shrapnel flew and blood splattered, and several more fell screaming—most of those killed, coolies who were held at gunpoint and exposed.
The reality is so cruel, the person who holds the gun in his hand will never be willing to let himself die first.
