Chapter 84 Wu Qiujian

"Captain, your gun." Knife said to Ma Chao.

After repelling the devil's attack, he was sitting on the corpse of a little devil panting heavily, sweat slowly slipping down his cheeks towards his chin.And the little devil who was used as a stool still had the rifle bayonet that he just used to kill stuck in his head.It seemed that this was also killed by Ma Chao.

Ma Chao looked up at the knife covered in blood, first moved to the side, and said, "Let's sit down and rest for a while."

At the same time, he also took the pistol over.

Knife did not sit down and rest together as Ma Chao ordered.Instead, he stood silently behind Ma Chao, guarding him.When Ma Chao saw this, he didn't force it.Instead, he went on to say, "Do you still have cigarettes? Have one."

Knife was taken aback when he heard it, because after getting along with him these few days, Knife didn't find that Ma Chao had the habit of smoking, so he was a little taken aback.

"Is it gone? That's fine."

"Yes, wait a moment."

The knife immediately took out a pack of cigarettes from the pocket of his clothes.But after taking it out again, I was stunned.Because the cigarettes have been soaked in the blood of the little devil.

"Master, I'm soaked and can't draw anymore." The knife said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, let's have one."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough."

When a big mouthful of smoke mixed with the smell of rust entered Ma Chao's lungs, it inevitably caused a severe cough.Coughing so much that Ma Chao burst into tears.

"Really, I didn't expect that the first time I smoked, it turned out to be like this." Ma Chao said, looking at the flickering cigarette butt.After speaking, he slowly and carefully took another sip.

Ma Chao just smoked slowly while watching Yang Ruifu, Lei Xiong, Deng Ying and others direct the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.

Before he finished the cigarette, he saw a man wearing the same military uniform as Ma Chao, walking towards him under the guidance of Yang Ruifu.

Ma Chao knew that this was the commander here.However, the distance was still a bit far, so he didn't get up immediately, but continued to smoke to recover his strength.

"Okay, let's go meet the person in charge here. We can't do good deeds without leaving our names." After Ma Chao finished smoking, he saw that the commander also came not far away, so he stood up , said to the knife.

"Yes, master." Knife replied very calmly, guarding Ma Chao and walking towards the man behind him.

"Thank you, Commander Ma, for saving your life! I am Wu Qiujian, Colonel of the [-]rd Regiment of the [-]nd Brigade, and I will always remember this brother in my heart." Wu Qiujian said excitedly while holding Ma Chao's hand after he arrived.

"Regimental Commander Wu is too polite. We are also anti-Japanese soldiers. If we see it, we will definitely help." Ma Chao said.

"No matter how you say it, I still have to thank Captain Ma for his help. Otherwise, the soldiers of the [-]rd Regiment might have to confess here." Wu Qiujian said.

"No matter what the process is, the result is that we are still here, right? Ah, haha." Ma Chao said.

"Yes, we won, and the little devil ran away. Haha, let's go, please head Ma to move to the headquarters, let's go to the back and have a good chat." Wu Qiujian invited.

"Please!"

"Please!"

When Ma Chao arrived at the field headquarters under Wu Qiujian's leadership, if it can be counted as the headquarters.In Ma Chao's eyes, what was related to the command center was probably the map of Shanghai spread on two ammunition boxes and a lantern that provided a faint light.

Nothing else.

"The previous headquarters has been blown up by the little devil's plane, and the new one has not yet arrived, so I hope you will forgive me." Wu Qiujian said slightly melancholy.

"Regimental Commander Wu is out of sight. The war is important, as long as other things can be used." Ma Chao comforted.

"Captain Ma is right. There is nothing to thank. Come on, drink some water to moisten your throat." Wu Qiujian handed over a water bottle after speaking.

When Ma Chao took it, he felt that there was not much in it. As soon as he opened the lid, he smelled a strong aroma of wine. Looking up at Wu Qiujian, he immediately gulped it down, very bold.

"Okay, haha." Wu Qiujian smiled.

"Hi~~~" With a belch, Ma Chao's face was inevitably red.

"Captain Ma, what's the matter? My daughter's red taste is good, right? Haha." Seeing Ma Chao's blushing face, Wu Qiujian smiled happily.

"Good wine!" Ma Chao was a little speechless, and didn't know what words to use to express it, so he finally choked out these two words to describe it.After all, it was his first time to drink on the battlefield.

"Our department is preparing to retreat. I wonder if Captain Ma is planning to retreat with us. There are too many casualties in the troops, and the ammunition is basically exhausted. This place must not be able to withstand the little devil." Wu Qiujian took a sip. After drinking, he asked Ma Chao bitterly.

Ma Chao didn't answer Wu Qiujian's question right away, but looked around the battlefield, seeing the corpses of both the enemy and us all around, and the groans of the wounded mixed with the sound of distant guns, which constantly stimulated Ma Chao's eardrums.

There are only three colors of corpses everywhere, the little devils in the yellow military uniforms, the soldiers of the national army in the dark green uniforms, and the security regiment supplementary soldiers in the dark blue uniforms.Many of them still maintained the appearance of fighting each other when they were alive, but it was obvious that the number of feces-yellow devils was far lower than the number of defenders.

And those soldiers who are still searching for the wounded and ammunition are basically all wounded.In addition, Wu Qiujian also made it clear just now that the army's ammunition has been exhausted, so what can we do to resist the next little devil.

Indeed, Ma Chao realized until just now that at this moment in the country, the ammunition of the soldiers has always been insufficient!When I was in the Sixing Warehouse before, because it was the division headquarters of the 88th Division, it was also a storage warehouse for ammunition.

When the 88th Division evacuated from the urban area before, because of the emergency, a lot of ammunition was not transported out, so there were only a few thousand catties of explosives for Ma Chao to squander.At the same time, it is also the confidence of the May [-]th Regiment to stick to the Four Elements.

This also gave Ma Chao an illusion that basically everyone has no shortage of bullets.But how could he have imagined that this kind of battle with unlimited bullets was the first time the [-]th regiment encountered it.

And like other troops, their ammunition is never abundant!At the same time, the number of bullets for each little devil infantry was 120 rounds, while the average number of bullets for the Kuomintang troops was only thirty or forty rounds, while the Eighth Route Army had even fewer bullets, only ten rounds of bullets.

With such a stretched number of bullets, how can we not fight hard!
