Ma Liang was lying on the top of a hill behind a clump of grass, tilting his head and looking helplessly at Luo Fugui who was standing behind him: "Mule, you are a machine gunner now, what can you do if you lie in a pit?"
"I'm hiding now. If I climb too high, the enemy will see me. How can I still be hiding?" Luo Fugui lay at the bottom of a shallow pit like a bear, holding a machine gun and muttering softly.
Ma Liang sighed, "We are here to stop the plainclothes team from entering the village, not to hide from them. How can we hide? Besides, the plainclothes team doesn't have rifles. We are only four or five hundred meters away. Even if they see us, they can't hit us! Can you do it? Otherwise, give me the machine gun!"
When Luo Fugui heard this, he pondered for a moment and asked, "How far can their pistols shoot?"
"About a hundred meters."
"How far is a hundred meters?"
"About a hundred and fifty steps."
After listening to Ma Liang's explanation, Luo Fugui carefully moved out of the pit, slowly poked his head out from the edge of the pit, and looked at the path to the east. There were twenty or thirty blurry figures swaying nearly a mile away. After understanding the situation, he felt more at ease. He immediately changed his face and said to Ma Liang: "Boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. I just said it was hiding, but it was actually resting. It's called recuperating, don't you understand? I licked blood on the blade in the past, how can this little thing be a big deal now! This machine gun is not something that ordinary people can play with casually, don't you understand! Now I will open your eyes!"
After Luo Fugui finished speaking, he no longer looked at Ma Liang's frowning face. He simply positioned the machine gun, pulled the bolt without saying a word, and pulled the hook with his finger.
Da da da da—
Twenty bullets from a magazine rushed out without any thought, without any ambiguity. The momentum was so overwhelming that it shocked all directions.
The plainclothes team was trotting towards Qingshan Village. They heard the gunshots in the village. The situation might have changed. These 20 to 30 people quickened their pace, pulling out their guns, Mauser pistols, and other rifles. Suddenly, they heard a burst of machine gun fire from the top of the mountain, followed by a continuous sound of breaking wind. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The plainclothes team was actually a gang of hooligans and traitors. They were usually good at using their numbers to bully the minority and catch a few people, but now they were almost scared out of their wits by the machine gun fire. They all fell to the ground, covering their heads and faces, and some even cried for their mothers. However, these bullets seemed to have no regard for them at all. They flew over them fiercely, seemed to fly very high, seemed to fly very far, seemed to fly very happily, very handsomely, and brought only those whistles that penetrated the air, without even a speck of dust on them.
Before setting up the machine gun, Luo Fugui didn't even look at the position of the muzzle. There happened to be a loose pile of dry soil right below the muzzle. He fired a burst of bullets, and the muzzle flame rolled up the air flow, blowing up all the dust and dirt. The black smoke was so hazy that it was a spectacular sight. Driven by the wind, it covered the heads and faces of the three people.
The dust and mist slowly dissipated. Luo Fugui shook his head to get rid of the dirt on his hat, wiped the dust off his face, stared into the distance with wide eyes, and grinned happily: "See! See! I beat them all down. Not even one is standing upright. Damn it, this is called mighty!"
Cough, cough, Ma Liang rubbed his eyes and raised his head again, staring blankly into the distance. After the last battle on the valley path, Ma Liang wanted to find another opportunity to fight. This time he encountered a plainclothes team, so the risk was not great. He could try out the brand new Type 38 rifle in his hand, which made Ma Liang very excited. It was difficult to hit someone from more than 400 meters away, so Ma Liang wanted to let the plainclothes team get closer and open fire at a distance of 200 to 300 meters, which could both cause casualties and achieve the desired effect. However, he did not expect that Luo Fugui, a idiot, would startle the enemy as soon as he came up, and the useless plainclothes team would never dare to get up again. This was like a cold shower on the head for the excited Ma Liang.
Ma Liang's face turned dark for a rare time, but there was a lot of dust on his face, so it was not visible. He tilted his head and stared at the smug Luo Fugui for a while, then without saying a word, threw down his gun, jumped up, pounced on the bear, and hugged the bear's sturdy body, causing the two men to tumble back into the pit and start fighting.
Liu Jianqiang was lying on the other side, looking at the two of them in surprise, not understanding why...
Hu Yi looked at the two bodies on the ground in silence. Lao Luo and the little girl had already given him a brief account of what had happened. The little girl shot and killed two people. The first one deserved to die, no problem, but the second one should be innocent. He died because he refused to obey the little girl.
Hu Yi turned his head and looked at Su Qing on the side. This woman hadn't said a word since Hu Yi came in. Hu Yi knew that she was too lazy to pay attention to him, and there was a hint of gloating in her eyes as she watched Hu Yi deal with this embarrassing situation.
Su Qing's gloating was not directed at the little girl, but purely at Hu Yi. The second person was clearly killed by mistake, but Xiao Hongying was still a child, and her actions were extreme and hasty, but it was also a fact that she saved everyone. If Hu Yi had not appeared, Su Qing would have taken the initiative to solve this problem. Her idea was that merits and demerits offset each other, and the law should not punish the young. She comforted Lao Luo and others to gain their understanding, and then punished the little girl to let her recognize her mistakes and avoid them in the future. But now that you, Hu Yi, are here, the little girl is your responsibility, so you can clean up your own ass!
Lao Luo and the other two people looked at the solemn soldier who came later. Chang Hong had not spoken since he came in. Intuitively, he thought he was a person in charge. They did not intend to make a fuss about the accidental killing. After all, the child saved everyone, so Lao Luo said: "This is fate. Although he was wronged, the child saved more people. We have no objection. However, you really have to take good care of this little girl in the future. This is a bloody lesson. Never let a child hold a gun again."
Xiao Hongying also recovered from her initial excitement. She was still standing in the corner by the door, one of her hands hanging down, still holding the big-eyed pistol with the safety off, and the other hand tearing at the corner of her clothes. She lowered her head and kept kicking the ground with her toes. Her heart was in a mess. She didn't know what to think. She didn't want to think about anything. She just wanted to leave the room as soon as possible.
Hu Yi listened quietly to what Lao Luo said without saying anything. He walked to the first corpse and picked up the Mauser pistol. He looked at it in his hand and put it into his bag. He squatted down and searched the second corpse. He also found a Mauser pistol. He put it in his hand, looked at it, and put it into his bag. Then he went straight to Xiao Hongying.
"Girl, you did a great job! All four shots hit vital points, and you didn't embarrass me."
Hu Yi's words made everyone confused. She asked you to educate her, but why did you interpret these words as a compliment
The little girl also raised her head and stammered, "But, but the second person, I also..."
"You're right. You can't be vague in this situation. You must be firm. Do the same next time! If he is a good person, he will be obedient and nothing will happen. Remember: Anyone who kills himself should be allowed to die."
Hu Yi's words were spoken from the heart. The second person did die unjustly, but Hu Yi only cared about the people he cared about, and he didn't have any thoughts about good or evil or innocence. In this situation, the safety of the little girl and Su Qing is the first priority. What if the second person also had ulterior motives? What if the second person happened to be an enemy? If Xiao Hongying didn't have the determination to shoot, she would be the one to die. Hu Yi crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. Death is the most ordinary thing. It doesn't matter how many strangers die. But if something happens to the little girl and Su Qing, Hu Yi's heart will hurt, break, and lose color. Therefore, Hu Yi believes that the death of the second person should be the responsibility of the deceased himself, and he can't blame others, because he despises a child. If Xiao Hongying is replaced by Hu Yi holding a gun, will he still act with contempt
The little girl's childish brows finally began to relax. She raised her little face and looked at the bronze cheek innocently, speechless because of this unexpected recognition.
Hu Yi not only supported Xiao Hongying's approach, but he also wanted to help her resolve the knot in her heart. After all, it was the little girl's first time to kill someone, so he had to try his best to reduce the shock she suffered afterwards. To this end, he had to make up a lie to give her psychological comfort, even if it was full of loopholes. So he added: "I just checked, the two people you killed were both bad guys, they all had guns, and the gun serial numbers were similar, which means they were in the same group and deserved to die."
The little girl's heart knot was untied a lot, but the faces of others turned green. Su Qing gritted her teeth in hatred, you scum ruined me not to say, do you want to ruin this child? Lao Luo and the others looked at Hu Yi in surprise, you are too inhumane, aren't you? Are you still an Eighth Route Army? Do you still have any shame
When everyone was stunned and excited, there was a burst of machine gun fire from outside the village. Da da da da da...
