Chapter 97: Helping in times of need
Facing the big bearded man's rebuke, Wu Erdan looked ashamed and shouted, "Brother Zhou, sit tight. I'm about to start again."
The bearded man shouted angrily, "Erdan, think it over before you start. Your old brother Zhou is about to fall apart."
Before he could finish his words, the truck suddenly rushed forward again. However, this time Wu Erdan did not slam on the brakes. The car really staggered and bumped from side to side as if it was drunk.
While the bearded man was cursing, the truck unknowingly stabilized and slowly moved on the road.
Wu Erdan had a smug look on his face and shouted, "Brother Zhou, my driving skills are pretty good, right?"
The bearded man cursed: "Ball, with your skills, anyone who rides in your car will vomit."
But I was thinking in my heart: This bastard actually let him learn it. Damn it, I’m afraid I will be inferior to him in the future. No, I have to learn how to drive too, and I can’t let him outdo me.
Liu Zhengfeng glanced at Wu Erdan and saw that his face was full of joy and he looked very proud, as if he was happier than if he had found a wife.
At this time, the dusk was deepening and the road was blurred. Liu Zhengfeng was just about to ask Wu Erdan to turn on the car lights when suddenly a beam of light from a car headlight cut through the night sky and slowly turned in front of him. At the same time, he faintly heard the roar of an engine in his ears.
Liu Zhengfeng looked solemn, sat up straight, and shouted, "Stop the car."
Wu Erdan was addicted to driving, but he had to stop.
Liu Zhengfeng got off the car and walked to the rear of the carriage, asking the bearded man to get off with the weapons and ammunition.
Big Beard and Wu Erdan also saw the car headlights in the distance and looked at Liu Zhengfeng to see what he would do.
Liu Zhengfeng frowned and pointed to the distance on the road and said, "We just broke through the Japanese checkpoint. The Japanese there will call for reinforcements. The Japanese in front are gathering here. Let's hide in the wasteland next to us and wait and see what happens."
"If the enemy is large in number, we will sneak away quietly. If the enemy is small in number, we will kill them. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Big Beard and Wu Erdan nodded.
Holding their weapons, the group quietly moved towards the wasteland on the right. After walking more than a hundred meters, they saw a cemetery in front of them. Liu Zhengfeng made a gesture and the group hid behind the cemetery.
The roar of the enemy's car engines was getting louder and louder, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan loaded their bullets, and the bearded man set up the Type 99 light machine gun and loaded the magazine.
The cars coming from a distance gradually came closer, and everyone could see clearly that it was only a large truck.
The truck driven by Liu Zhengfeng was parked quietly in place, and the truck driven by the Japanese stopped fifty meters away. Two Japanese soldiers mounted a Type 99 light machine gun on the roof of the truck, ready for battle.
Eleven Japanese soldiers got off the car, holding guns, and looked at the car not far away with vigilance.
After a while, the Japanese squad leader waved his hand, and two Japanese soldiers stepped out of the crowd and cautiously approached a motionless truck not far away. The two looked at the front of the truck, then turned to the back compartment. One of the Japanese soldiers took a flashlight and checked the compartment, then jumped out and returned to the Japanese squad leader.
"Report: There is no one in the vehicle ahead. The carriage contains most of our army's winter supplies and seven Type 38 rifles."
"What?"
The Japanese squad leader was full of doubt: "Kishi said on the phone that three Chinese drove a Type 94 military truck and violently broke through the checkpoint. Where did they go?"
The Japanese soldier who had just gone to check said, "Sir, the car engine is still hot, they haven't gone far, let's go after them."
The Japanese squad leader's sinister eyes moved around both sides of the road: "Yoshi, there are seven Type 38 rifles on the truck, which means they killed at least seven of our Imperial Japanese Army soldiers. They are guilty of heinous crimes. We must find them and avenge our brave soldiers."
The headlights of the car driven by the Japanese soldiers were never turned off, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. After getting used to the environment, the position of the Japanese soldiers could be vaguely seen.
Liu Zhengfeng whispered, "Big Beard, I will shoot and kill their machine gunner first. When you hear my gunshots, immediately shoot at the places where there are many people. Do you understand?"
The bearded man nodded, his finger already on the trigger. He had a ferocious look, and now his eyes were filled with murderous intent, making him look like a god of death.
Liu Zhengfeng moved the muzzle of the gun upwards and aimed it at the head of the machine gunner on the roof of the car. He held his breath, put his finger on the trigger, and suddenly opened his eyes wide with a fierce murderous look in his eyes. At the same time, his finger gently pulled the trigger.
"boom."
Sudden gunshots rang through the night sky, and the bullet whizzed into the left brain of the Japanese machine gunner. The Japanese machine gunner immediately dropped his head and fell on the machine gun.
The bearded man's eyes were fierce and murderous. He pulled the trigger and fired a long burst of bullets in one breath. Bullets poured out and swept into the crowd of Japanese soldiers like raindrops.
Wu Erdan raised the Type 38 rifle in his hand, aimed at a Japanese soldier, and pulled the trigger coldly.
Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire. The Japanese soldiers in front of the car were caught off guard and fell down in large numbers. Those who were lucky enough to survive cried for their parents and lay down or rolled and crawled to find cover.
Liu Zhengfeng stared at the roof of the car. The machine gunner was dead, and the assistant machine gunner next to him rushed to grab the machine gun. How could Liu Zhengfeng give him a chance? He calmly pulled the trigger and shot him dead.
Most of the Japanese soldiers next to the car had been killed or wounded. The remaining three Japanese soldiers hid behind the car, shouting loudly, their voices filled with endless panic.
The bearded man quickly finished a magazine, took out the empty one, installed a new one, and started firing frantically again.
The chassis of the Type 94 military truck was very high. Three Japanese soldiers hid behind the car. The bullets shot by the bearded man in a prone position passed through the chassis and hit the feet of the three Japanese soldiers. After the Japanese soldiers fell down, they died under the bearded man's machine gun fire.
Soon there was no sound of counterattack from the Japanese soldiers.
Big Beard and Wu Erdan were still shooting, so Liu Zhengfeng quickly stopped them. After a while, Liu Zhengfeng stood up, holding the gun, and walked over carefully. Seeing this, Big Beard and Wu Erdan followed him.
After everyone checked, they found that all thirteen Japanese soldiers had been killed.
Liu Zhengfeng's eyes flashed, and he searched the car with the flashlight he had just seized. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found two small barrels of gasoline in the corner.
He was overjoyed. He bit the tail of the flashlight in his mouth, carried two barrels of gasoline in both hands, walked to the rear of the carriage, and called on Big Beard and Wu Erdan to bring the gasoline over.
He was worrying about the lack of gasoline, but unexpectedly the Japanese soldiers came to his rescue , except that there was a little less gasoline, two barrels weighing about ten kilograms.
There were gunshots here for a long time, and the surroundings were completely quiet, and no signs of Japanese reinforcements were found.
Liu Zhengfeng felt relieved after thinking about it. This was not a big city, and the Japanese troops stationed here were small. In addition, the Battle of Wuhan was ongoing, and most of the Japanese troops had been transferred to the outskirts of Wuhan. This place had already been conquered by the Japanese army, and the military force was very scarce.
He suddenly had a bold idea to take the supplies in the car to Yimeng Mountain, and these supplies would be his gift to the Gongzhuling guerrillas.
