The sudden gunshots from behind seemed to blind the pursuing Japanese troops. Su Rui and others immediately felt that the firepower from behind immediately decreased a lot.
"Hey...where are the troops behind us to help us fight the Japanese?"
Suri became confused and immediately stopped retreating, and took out his binoculars to watch.
"Sir, let's leave quickly." Lin Shiqian on the side held Su Rui's hand and wanted to retreat as soon as possible.
"Why are you anxious? The people behind you are not afraid of you, so what are you afraid of?" Su Rui glared at Lin Shiqian dissatisfied and continued to observe.
"Huh? No, the gunshot sound is exactly the same as the sound of our submachine gun. The rifle sound is also very familiar. It is... the sound of a Mauser rifle!"
After fighting for several days, Su Rui, a newbie on the battlefield, also somewhat knew how to distinguish the sound of gunshots.
After listening for a while, Su Rui's face darkened, and he turned to Lin Shiqian and asked, "Lin Shiqian, which troops do we have left behind?"
"No!" Lin Shiqian was also a little confused. The crisp sound of MP38 gunfire behind him could not be faked. As far as Lin Shiqian knew, this kind of submachine gun was rarely equipped by troops, although in recent years there have been many troops.
It was equipped with a replica MP18 submachine gun produced by the Jinsui Army, but the sound difference between the two guns was quite large, so Lin Shiqian was a little confused for a while.
Su Rui snorted and said: "I don't know, let's just wait here. We must not do something unconscionable. People helped us, but we kept them here. We can't repay kindness with enmity."
Do it! Call our people back quickly and prepare to reinforce the brothers behind."
"yes!"
Seeing that Su Ri had made up his mind, Lin Shiqian gritted his teeth and called back the retreating soldiers and asked them to prepare to support the friendly forces behind.
Gradually, the gunshots got closer and closer, and the small army quickly moved towards them, gradually running towards them.
Suddenly Su Rui seemed to have thought of something, his face changed and he shouted loudly: "Don't walk in the middle, go to both sides, there are landmines in the middle... There are landmines in the middle!"
"Don't go in the middle, there are landmines!" At this time, Lin Shiqian and others also woke up and shouted one after another.
The sound of more than ten people shouting together was quite loud. After hearing it, an officer running at the front quickly said a few words to the soldiers behind him, and then these people quickly moved to both sides and left the streets on both sides.
come over.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. These people were still walking and retreating, shooting at the pursuers behind them from time to time. Su Rui, who observed carefully, found that these battles were very structured. There were not many of them, about only
There are more than 20 people, less than a platoon. There are no machine guns, and there are only three submachine guns. The others use Mauser 98K rifles, but their weapons complement each other very well. Who shoots, what
Everyone's cover was in good order.
When one group of people retreats, the other group of people will immediately stop to cover, and then cover and retreat alternately. Their marksmanship is also very accurate, and the Japanese army does not dare to move forward to pursue.
And their actions are resolute and decisive. Soldiers with submachine guns will never fire multiple times, sweep or shoot blindly without aiming. They try to use single shots and short bursts, and rarely or never shoot long bursts and bursts.
, aim carefully before firing. Only when encountering a large group of Japanese soldiers and gathering together will they open up to continuous fire.
Su Rui finally figured it out. He was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparisons. Compared with people like him who were shooting and retreating like headless flies, these people were the real elites. He was just a nouveau riche.
The wealthy local man.
Soon, the small force retreating towards Suri met with Suri and others.
An officer walked towards Suri. When he approached, Suri took a closer look. He was a lieutenant colonel officer who was about thirty-four or five years old. He was wearing the same 35-type German Wehrmacht uniform as himself and others.
, Chinese character face, and thick eyebrows make his heroic spirit extremely eye-catching, making people feel that this guy has no other suitable career except being a soldier.
After the visitor walked in and saw the military uniforms Su Rui and others were wearing and the weapons in their hands, a strange look flashed in their eyes, and his thick eyebrows moved invisibly, and then he asked in a deep voice:
"We are from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. I am Bai Jingran, the tactical instructor of the Teaching Corps. Which department are you from?"
At this time, Su Rui didn't have a detailed understanding of what the teaching squadron was, but he couldn't be rude for the sake of the opponent's superb combat speed and helping him. He quickly stood at attention and said loudly: "Report to the commander, sir,
We are from the independent battalion of the 36th Division. I am Su Rui, the commander of the independent battalion. I am breaking away from the Japanese army. Unexpectedly, I alerted the commander. Thank you for your support, commander."
"Thirty-sixth Division Independent Battalion?"
Bai Jingran chewed the name carefully. A look of confusion flashed across his face. He raised his eyes and asked, "Does the 36th Division have an independent battalion? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Su Rui blushed after hearing this. He has been questioned again and again in the past few days, which makes him, a person who thinks he is shameless, feel embarrassed. No wonder the Chinese people have emphasized since ancient times that if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and the words will not go smoothly.
Otherwise, it won't work. Whether it's a bandit or an unknown person, they all talk about the same background. As a self-proclaimed independent battalion commander, let alone being recognized by others, I don't have the confidence to say it myself.
But now he can only bite the bullet and hold on: "It's not surprising that the commander doesn't know. I created this independent battalion myself when I was searching for the remnants of the national army in Nanjing. My original identity was the 36th Division.
Deputy Director of the Logistics Department!”
"oh!"
Bai Jingran then showed a look of sudden realization, and then his eyes turned to the MP38 submachine gun in Suri's hand and the M1911A1 Browning pistol on his belt, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"It seems our trip was in vain."
Bai Jingran's mouth showed a trace of bitterness. He originally thought that the other party was also a member of his teaching team, but the other party turned out to be an independent battalion that he had never heard of.
Seeing the other party's inadvertent flash of disappointment, Su Rui quickly asked: "Sir, are you leaving the city?"
"Yes." Bai Jingran nodded, "I heard the gunfire just now. I originally thought you were brothers from our teaching team, but I didn't expect that I recognized the wrong person."
"So, sir, you have also lost contact with your superiors?" Su Rui asked quickly, with a trace of crystal liquid flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
Bai Jingran nodded: "Yes, we have lost contact with Shangfeng and are now preparing to cross Yijiangmen to join the main force."
Upon hearing Jing Boran's words, Su Rui quickly said: "Then sir, let's go with us so that we can have someone to look after us along the way."
Yes, Su Rui was jealous at this moment. The fighting quality shown by this small force just now was so shocking that it opened his eyes. Compared with their performance, these soldiers of his were just a bunch of rabble, and there was no way they could do anything.
compare.
Suri liked this small unit from the bottom of his heart, and he liked the lieutenant colonel who claimed to be a tactical instructor even more.
Some people may be afraid that the lieutenant colonel will take the opportunity to annex his own troops, but Su Rui has never thought about such a thing. Su Rui believes that as long as he has guns and ammunition, these broken troops can be found in Nanjing.
, but the lieutenant colonel instructor in front of me is a treasure that cannot be replaced by a whole regiment.
Although Su Rui also knew that it would be very difficult for him, a small major, to win over the opponent's lieutenant colonel, he would not be willing to do so without giving it a try.
After hearing Su Rui's words, Bai Jingran smiled faintly and was about to speak, but there was another rapid gunfire from behind. Su Rui frowned and said helplessly: "Sir, let's retreat first and wait until we reach our temporary gathering place.
"
"You still have a temporary gathering place?" Bai Jingran was even more surprised. This young major, who has fair skin and looks more like a young man than an officer, gave him a lot of surprises. Anyway, people like him don't have much ammunition.
It's almost used up, so go back with him first to see if you can replenish some, and take a rest by the way.
Bai Jingran nodded and was about to agree, when several explosions sounded from behind, followed by a burst of loud Japanese curses.
Hearing the explosion, Bai Jingran smiled and asked Su Ruida: "Were you the ones who planted those mines?"
Su Rui, who was very proud in his heart, nodded and said to himself: "It doesn't matter that my brother's tactical skills are far inferior to yours, but he can still do a simple job of placing mines."
Unexpectedly, Bai Jingran went on to say: "The idea of placing landmines to stop pursuing troops is correct, but the level of placement is very poor. It is a luck to kill a few Japanese."
"you……"
Su Rui couldn't help but feel angry, "Damn it, you will die if you praise me a few times."
Just when Su Rui was feeling depressed, there was another sparse sound of gunfire from behind, and the Japanese pursuers behind him became a little confused again.
Su Rui and others couldn't help but look at each other, wondering what kind of good day it was today, and why another group of people came from behind...
