Chapter 23: Tigers are really tigers.

Hu Biao had two surprises. One was that he had not expected where the Japanese soldiers looked out from after the observation windows of the Japanese tanks were closed.

Another reason was that they didn't expect the Japanese tanks to be so small and their armor so thin.

When he saw the Japanese tanks coming up, his soldiers bundled grenades, some with four grenades in a bundle, and some with three.

The power of this bundle of grenades was actually not very great, but it still blew up the Japanese tank.

As for the casualties among his own men, although he felt heartbroken, war was always full of casualties. Even when he had entered the Central Plains to participate in the war, many of his men had died.

"Machine gun cover, retreat quickly!" Hu Biao crawled out from under the big tree that was knocked down by the heavy machine gun, and at the same time, the flower in his hand made a "ta ta ta" sound again.

The drum magazine of the Hua machine gun can hold 32 rounds of bullets.

32 rounds of ammunition sounds like a lot, but it only takes a moment to use them all up.

Three more light machine guns fired in succession, and when the light machine guns fired, Hu Biao felt a pain in his heart. The two of them had eight light machine guns, but now there are only three left?

In infantry combat, light machine guns pose the greatest threat to the enemy. Obviously, the Japanese soldiers in the armored vehicle also understood this, so they received "special attention" from the Japanese army!

Under the cover of the "thump thump thump" machine gun, the surviving soldiers retreated as quickly as possible.

But at this moment, Shang Zhen, who was lying in the bushes, suddenly shouted, "Brother Huzi!"

Just because everyone started to retreat, Ma Erhuzi rushed out under the cover of the destroyed Japanese armored vehicle!

Shang Zhen really couldn't understand why Ma Erhuzi did the opposite. He stared with red eyes and raised his rifle.

Shang Zhen did not see Li Fushun among the figures who went to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles on the opposite side.

I think Li Fushun went to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles on the flank, and I don’t know whether he can survive.

Before leaving, Li Fushun entrusted him to Ma Erhuzi, but now Ma Erhuzi insisted on rushing forward. Shang Zhen couldn't figure out what Ma Erhuzi wanted to do, so he could only cover for Ma Erhuzi.

Shang Zhen's eyes were already red, and now he couldn't figure out what state he was in.

When he saw his companions being shot by heavy machine guns, he felt fear and pain in his heart, but the Japanese machine guns were still firing continuously at that time. He did not shoot, but just lay there and watched his companions being torn into pieces by the heavy machine guns.

Every time he saw one of his companions being shot, his heart ached.

The Japanese armored vehicles were equipped with heavy machine guns. After a few rounds of shooting, twenty or thirty of his companions were killed. The pain in his heart continued to increase, and he roared until he felt numb in his heart.

When the pain became numb, the fire of anger burned in his heart and he started shooting.

At that moment he seemed to feel the sound of a bullet hitting the Japanese armor.

He knew that he must have fired that shot!

In such a head-on battle against Japanese tanks, Shang Zhen was undoubtedly lucky.

He forgot to shoot at first because he was timid or because it was his first time seeing such a brutal battle scene. Because he forgot to shoot, the Japanese armored vehicles did not notice him.

When he raised his gun, his companions holding cluster grenades rushed forward, and the Japanese armored vehicles naturally paid no attention to him.

Shang Zhen knew that he had saved his life, or rather, his companions died for him.

Experiencing such brutal and fast-paced combat as a new soldier seemed like a dream.

Just now, when he saw Ma Erhuzi charging forward, he realized that the enemy's armored vehicles were destroyed, and their side had also paid a heavy price. Thirty people? Or forty people? Shang Zhen didn't know. All he knew now was that he would never let Ma Erhuzi die in front of him!

What was Ma Erhuzi doing running forward? Was he trying to get into a Japanese tank and use the heavy machine gun inside to fire at the puppet troops rushing from behind? Shang Zhen wondered.

But he immediately denied his opinion. There was already smoke coming out of the Japanese tank, so he was afraid that the heavy machine gun had been destroyed.

However, what Ma Erhuzi did still surprised Shang Zhen.

It was true that Ma Erhuzi was clinging to the tank's cover, but he did not rush in front of the tank. Instead, he picked up a submachine gun from a headless corpse, tore off the bullet bag on it, turned around and ran away.

The corpse was one of the veterans who had previously gone to blow up the Japanese tanks. His head had been blown off.

It was only at this time that Shang Zhen realized that Ma Erhu had gone to pick up the gun.

Compared with Shang Zhen, Ma Erhuzi is a veteran, but compared with Wang Laomao and Li Fushun, he is not a veteran.

So when the flower machines were distributed, there was no share for him. He had wanted to get one for a long time!

Once you get the flower machine, you have to run.

"Why are you still waiting for me? Run!" Ma Erhuzi complained to Shang Zhen, and the two of them ran into the woods.

However, at this time, the puppet troops behind them were only a hundred meters away, and bullets were chasing them from behind.

For a moment, the two men were like dancing in the hail of bullets, running with their hearts pounding.

The puppet troops behind were also chasing very closely.

Zhang Xuecheng felt very embarrassed that he failed to capture Jinzhou City.

He complained to the Japanese army that he had no heavy weapons, so the Japanese army provided him with some combat weapons. However, he never expected that the two armored vehicles provided to him by the Japanese army on the first day would explode and start smoking.

In order to give an explanation to the Japanese army, seeing that there was no safe place to defend ahead, the puppet army, under the order of Zhang Xuecheng, had already pressed forward in large numbers.

The woods had been devastated by the Japanese heavy machine guns, but fortunately they were still densely packed, so Shang Zhen and Ma Erhuzi finally managed to get out of the woods.

When the two looked ahead, they saw that the entire company was running back desperately, and the two companies in front of their company on the left and right were also retreating quickly.

At this point, Zhang Lianjie's camp's plan to lure the enemy was completed.

Of course, the second company led by Hu Biao was running at the back. If they ran a little further forward, the puppet troops behind them would have entered the effective range of the armored train.

But after Shang Zhen and Ma Erhuzi ran forward for nearly 200 meters, panting, bullets passed by them again. It was the puppet troops behind them who also rushed out of the woods.

Everyone was running desperately, trying to avoid the bullets from the pursuers behind, but in the end another soldier was shot and fell to the ground.

However, if it was just rifle or machine gun fire, it would be fine. While running, Shang Zhen vaguely heard a "hissing" sound behind his head.

"Get down!" Ma Erhuzi, who was running side by side with him, shouted and stretched out his leg to trip him.

In this situation, how could Shang Zhen, a new recruit, react? Both of them fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time, they both heard a loud explosion in front of them, a cloud of black smoke rose into the sky, and the dust and broken grass splashed all over them.

"What the hell?" Shang Zhen had never seen anything like this before. He asked and tried to climb up, but Ma Erhuzi reached out and grabbed him.

"Mortar!" said Erhuzi.

Note: The word "虎" in Northeastern dialect means to act without regard for the consequences or to be bold. The most common word is "虎了吧叽" (tiger).

Writing novels is not easy, especially writing realistic anti-Japanese war novels. I hope everyone will leave more comments.
