Chapter 247 Rendezvous
Chapter 247 Rendezvous
After collecting all the guns, Lu Cheng threw out two more explosive packs, blowing up the ammunition warehouse and the cotton cloth warehouse respectively.
Afterwards, Lu Chengcai, carrying a Lee Enfield rifle on his back and a Sten submachine gun in his hand, went to catch up with his team.
To be honest, the Sten submachine gun is a completely cheap and shoddy product. The cost of a Sten submachine gun is less than $10, and the main body is basically just a steel tube and a spring.
This also caused the Sten submachine gun to jam and fire accidentally very easily, and was called the "King of Accidental Fires" by the British Army.
During the British army's march, gunners holding Sten submachine guns were generally not allowed to walk in the middle of the team. They could only walk in the front to avoid the gun accidentally going off and hitting the buttocks of the people in front.
In comparison, the quality of the Bren light machine gun is still very good, and it is much stronger than the Type 99 light machine gun.
As for the Lee-Enfield rifle, it was also the fastest-firing bolt-action rifle during World War II. Its excellent design allowed the shooter to pull the bolt with the smallest amplitude and fire continuously.
A skilled shooter can even use this bolt-action rifle to produce the effect of a semi-automatic rifle.
Moreover, the Lee Enfield rifle has a capacity of ten rounds, which is much better than the five-round capacity of a general bolt-action rifle.
For a shooter like Lu Cheng, more bullet capacity and faster shooting speed means that more enemies can be destroyed in a shorter period of time.
The Lee-Enfield rifle, because it uses 7.7mm bullets, is also called the "British ". Some people in later generations also called it the "Little Li Flying Dagger".
Just when Lu Cheng caught up with his soldiers, a jeep suddenly drove over from the front. All the soldiers immediately became alert and pointed their guns at the jeep in front.
The jeep soon approached. There were only two people in the car, a driver and an officer wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform and also holding a "British Type 77" in his hand.
When Lu Cheng saw this face, he immediately thought of the old acquaintance in Soldiers Assault, Yuan Lang.
"Oh? Everything is good. Did you make a fortune?"
When Ayi saw the lieutenant colonel uniform on the other person, he took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "Sir, which unit are you from?"
"Me? I'm your leader!"
Lu Cheng immediately stood up and said, "Do you know which team we are from? How dare you pretend to be our leader?"
Long Wenjian looked Lu Cheng up and down and said, "Are you their superior? Aren't you from the Sichuan Army?"
"We are indeed from the Sichuan Army. But our commander is Yu Xiaoqing, not you, a lieutenant colonel of unknown origin."
"Yu Xiaoqing is dead. My name is Long Wenjian, and I am now the head of the Sichuan Army."
Lu Cheng chuckled, took two steps forward, approached Long Wenjian, grabbed his shoulder, and whispered: "Lieutenant Colonel Long Wenjian, I have never heard of him. However, I have heard a military song, left, right, left, left, left, brothers from all walks of life come to join us, wearing yellow leather and carrying a loud fire, straw sandals and leather shoes are all accepted..."
Long Wenjian's expression changed, and he looked at Lu Cheng, who was standing so close to him, with some surprise. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
"Captain Long, impersonating a commander is punishable by death. I advise you to change your clothes as soon as possible. I can order my soldiers to pretend that they saw and heard nothing."
Long Wenjian chuckled: "Brother, how did you know..."
"I can't tell you that. Of course, if you want to continue pretending to be a lieutenant colonel, you can, but think about it later."
Long Wenjian looked at the other soldiers around him and immediately changed the subject: "Where are you going?"
"Go to the airport."
"Then I'll go with you."
"Of course no problem. But we need to go through the woods, your jeep."
"It's just a car, it's lost."
"It's not yours anyway, right?"
"Brother, you really won't expose me?"
"I don't have the time."
A group of people quickly entered the forest, and Long Wenjian and his soldier jumped off the jeep and followed.
After entering the forest, Lu Cheng personally walked in front with a submachine gun, and kept observing the movements within a radius of 500 meters.
Soon, Lu Cheng realized that a large group of people were approaching rapidly, and he immediately led his soldiers away from the roadside and hid two or three hundred meters away.
Soon, a large group of Japanese soldiers appeared on the road in the forest, riding sidecar motorcycles and marching forward quickly, followed by some Japanese soldiers on bicycles.
Lu Cheng casually handed the telescope to Meng Fanle who was standing beside him: "It seems that we have to take a detour to the airport."
This group of Japanese soldiers has at least two or three hundred people, and they all have means of transportation. They must be the vanguard of the Japanese soldiers, and there should be other Japanese soldiers following behind them.
With just a few dozen people under Lu Cheng's command, it would be difficult to kill the enemy in a short period of time, and it would also be easy to expose the target and attract more devils.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng took out a map that he had prepared long ago, checked his current location, and prepared to take a detour.
Long Wenjian, who was standing nearby, came around at some point and stood beside Lu Cheng. "Captain Lu, why are you taking that road? Go around the 11:30 direction."
"It's a visionary. It seems we really followed the right person."
After the group of Japanese soldiers ran away, Lu Cheng immediately led his men to take a detour and headed towards the airport.
After walking for two or three hours, Lu Cheng ordered them to stop to rest and have a meal.
Fortunately, after half a year of training, these soldiers have improved their physical fitness and are not exhausted.
While eating, Long Wenjian also learned from these soldiers that their battalion commander had single-handedly killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers with two pistols, and took away a warehouse of weapons and equipment from the British.
As for the former, Long Wenjian was a little skeptical. It was simply a fantasy to kill more than 20 well-trained Japanese soldiers with just two pistols.
Of course, Long Wenjian did not argue. He still hadn't figured out how Lu Cheng knew his background.
After a simple meal and a short rest, it was already evening. He set out with his men. As they were walking, they suddenly heard a burst of gunfire coming from the woods ahead.
Judging from the location on the map, this place is only a few miles away from the airport. Lu Cheng immediately gave an order, urging everyone to march quickly towards the place where the fighting was taking place.
Soon, the situation ahead appeared within Lu Cheng's radar scanning range. Lu Cheng also figured out the situation ahead in advance. It seemed that a team was blocked in a valley by two cross-covering machine gun positions and could not get out.
Lu Cheng turned around and took the Bren light machine gun from Milong, then handed the Sten submachine gun to him and rushed forward.
Seeing this, the other soldiers quickly loaded their bullets and followed suit.
Not long after, Lu Cheng suddenly waved his hand, and everyone immediately stopped, lying on a small slope, and looking forward.
I saw two Japanese machine gun positions ahead, forming a cross-fire point, blocking a group of people in the valley.
Lu Cheng immediately ordered: "Meng Fanle, Kang Ya, you guys attack the machine gun position on the left, Mi Long, Bula, you guys attack the right side. Listen to my gunshots and fire..."
In fact, there were only 20 to 30 Japanese soldiers in the two machine gun positions in front, and now they were attacked from behind. Even if Lu Cheng went alone, he could quickly eliminate all the enemies.
But we must always give these soldiers a chance to exercise.
As the machine gun in Lu Cheng's hand opened fire, more than 10 machine guns, more than 10 submachine guns, and nearly rifles fired almost at the same time. More than half of the Japanese on the two machine gun positions were killed on the spot. Some who wanted to fight back were also killed in time by the machine gun in Lu Cheng's hand.
In a short while, Lu Cheng easily killed all the Japanese on the opposite side with zero casualties.
When the troops in the valley saw the Japanese being wiped out, someone immediately shouted loudly: "Which unit are you from?"
Hearing this voice, Doubing immediately became excited: "It's Brother Ma and the others!"
Lu Cheng pulled Doubing back from his position and said, "Get down. If you show your head when the situation on the battlefield is unclear, you will die."
"But that's for Mago."
"Don't worry, it's not spicy, just shout."
Bu La immediately shouted loudly: "If you want numbness, I'm Bu La. We and the battalion commander are here."
The people in the valley rushed out immediately and soon came close. There were about fifty or sixty people, including Yao Ma, Li Liansheng and others.
Seeing Lu Cheng, everyone immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Battalion Commander!"
Lu Cheng nodded, then walked up to Li Liansheng and kicked him to the ground: "You son of a bitch, this is how I taught you to fight. More than 60 people are trapped here by more than 20 devils, and you still want me to bring people to rescue you. Li Liansheng was demoted from second lieutenant platoon leader to private, and Yao Ma took over as platoon leader!"
Li Liansheng didn't dare to refute anything, and quickly got up from the ground, smiling: "Captain, I will definitely change next time."
Milong at the side couldn't stand it any longer: "You are really bringing shame to our Eastern Four Provinces."
In the original drama, Li Liansheng was captured by the Japanese at this time. They kept shooting at him, but they didn't shoot at fatal spots, just to torture him.
This guy has been training for half a year, but he still has some of his old bad habits and doesn't use his brain much in a fight. He is indeed not suitable to be a platoon leader. It's better for him to start as a soldier.
Previously, Li Liansheng was appointed as the platoon leader by the higher-ups, but now Lu Cheng is in charge...
