Chapter 29 Frontline News
There is a table at this end of the room, reserved for reloading, 80 meters away from the table, which is within the effective range of the Mauser shell gun or something.

Several thick wooden boards were set up at 80 meters, and the boards were full of potholes and bomb craters.A dozen or so glass bottles were still hanging in front of the board, and two of them were only left with their necks dangling in the air.

Li Chong loaded the bullets in the box. Needless to say, the box cannon has a capacity of twenty bullets at a time. If you bring a few more magazines, you can run rampant in street fighting. The key is It's not heavy and doesn't impede movement at all.

After opening the safety, Li Chong moved the muzzle of the gun to the hanging glass bottle and pulled the trigger.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" There was a crisp cracking sound of the glass bottle.

"Good marksmanship!" The young man in charge of buying guns applauded. Those who can blow up glass bottles one by one, at least for so many years when they have seen others come to test guns, are definitely one of the few.A lot of people shot indiscriminately, hitting the glass bottles in all directions, and they were all blind cats and dead mice.

"The rifling is very good. It's a good gun. Shunsheng Hangsheng, let's try the gun." Li Chong was very satisfied with the two guns.

Shunsheng Hangsheng used to watch the young master shoot a glass bottle, his palm felt like being scratched by a cat, but now the hand that took the gun trembled even more, he was used to holding the big sleeve, and now the box weighing two catties The cannon is placed in the palm of the hand, just like a little chicken. The two brothers are afraid that their big hands will break this little thing.

"This gun will belong to both of you from now on. Go and fire a couple of shots to familiarize yourself. If you go out of this door, you need to save the bullets."

"Young master, this gun is too expensive."

Shunsheng and Hengsheng almost cried, the two brothers were present when buying the guns, and these two pistols cost a whole small yellow croaker!Now the young master has generously handed the gun into his hands, which is a heavy trust.

"The beginning of autumn will be in less than a month, and it's also your brother's birthday, so it's also a birthday present for you two."

Shunsheng Hengsheng really wiped his tears this time. Since he was a child, he grew up in an environment without parents, or in other words, he was a child abandoned by his parents. I ate it myself, and now I gave myself my first birthday present in my life.

Li Chong patted the shoulders of the two of them, "Go and try to shoot twice."

In terms of shooting experience, the two brothers are the best. They are both people who can shoot birds with big sleeves and shotguns with badly worn rifling.After the two brothers were already familiar with the shooting posture of the long gun, they suddenly grabbed a pistol and stood in front of the table, not knowing what to do.

Imitating the posture of Li Chong holding the gun with one hand just now, the two brothers fired two shots in an unskilled posture, feeling the reaction force transmitted from the box cannon to the palm, and slowly regained the feeling.

On the way back, Shunsheng Hangsheng was carrying a large bag of bullets in his arms, his face was full of excitement, and the gun was hidden in his clothes, as if he was holding a gold nugget in his arms.Back in the room, I took a closer look at my gun. The round wooden handle is so close to the palm of my hand. The black and shiny gun body can vaguely reflect the stubble at the corner of my mouth. The more I look at it, the more I can't put it down.

"Master, have we finished our work here?" The two brothers were impatient to go back and show off in front of the village guards.

"The biggest thing of this trip has been completed, but there are still two important things that have not been completed, so we have to wait another two days."

Six hundred silver dollars were exchanged for 450 US dollars, in my opinion, it was already very good.But my father has been staying in the country all the time, and he doesn't understand the value and purchasing power of dollar bills in this era, so I have to find a way to make a few bucks, at least a few more small yellow croakers, so that I can go back to my father on business.

Naturally, he would not do things like robbing the rich, and Li Chong disdained the practice of breaking in through the window on the basis of his ability.But if he went around the Japanese chamber of commerce for a couple of times, Li Chong would not feel any psychological pressure.Li Chong did a lot of things like this when he was in Hong Kong.

In addition, I also need to understand how the battle ahead is going.

After one night, Li Chongzheng was going to go to the street to buy a newspaper.

When I got to the tram intersection, I heard a boy buying a newspaper shouting, "Read the newspaper! Read the newspaper! At [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday, the Japanese army created the Langfang incident, the national army withdrew to Tongzhou, and the Langfang station was occupied by the Japanese army!"

"Give me one! Give me one!" Many people around hurriedly rushed towards the newspaper boy, and Li Chong bought one by virtue of his height and strength.

Spread it out, and the black bold headline of "Ceasefire agreement becomes waste paper again, Pingjin railway is broken!" is impressively conspicuous.

Many people nearby were reading newspapers, even the beggars on the side of the road who couldn't get enough to eat were listening.When they finished reading, many people's fingertips turned pale and their faces turned red. At this moment, students from major colleges and universities in Shanghai were already filled with righteous indignation, and many people from the Federation of Industry and Commerce also gathered, and there was a big battle going on all over Shanghai. demonstrations.

Looking at the crowd running around, Li Chong realized that whether he wanted to or not, this war was inevitable.At this moment, the Japanese army is constantly encroaching on the traffic fortresses around Beiping and Tianjin. As a result, either the 29th Army will become the turtle in the urn, or it will retreat early and hand over the city of Beiping to the Japanese army.

Once Beiping and Tianjin are lost, the haze of war will really blow to both sides of the Yangtze River.For Li Chong, there is not much time left for him to arrange his family's retreat.

Li Chong decided to act quickly, and his target was the Chiba Chamber of Commerce on Taicang Road.Firstly, its location is not in the foreign concession, and secondly, the demonstration team of students and workers is going there now!

The successive work of the Japanese army in Beiping has greatly stimulated the anti-Japanese sentiment of these student workers. The Chiba Chamber of Commerce is not in the concession, and it is also not within the sphere of influence of the Marine Corps Command in Shanghai. This has undoubtedly become a venting point for the angry people. .

With the fact that there must be a war between China and Japan, it has become a consensus, and the matter of Lugou Bridge is ahead, the police only stopped it symbolically. in front of the gate.

When Li Chong arrived, there was already a conflict between the two sides. Ten ronin with long knives were knocked to the ground, shrunk into a ball.The window glass was all broken by stones, and someone had already lit a torch and threw it inside.

The high walls in the past made the Japanese inside a soft-shelled turtle at this moment. Even if the Japanese inside were set up with a ladder, they dare not come out. The staff of the Qianye Chamber of Commerce, who are usually arrogant, are hiding in the basement with a telephone, shivering. .
