Seeing that everyone was looking at him after Xu Hongchang finished asking his question, Tang Shengkai didn't hide anything.

Tang Shengkai looked at everyone seriously, "We're out of bullets."

"cut!"

Chen Erniu turned his face away, as if he knew perfectly well what was going on. But then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he quickly turned back. And then he saw everyone staring intently at Tang Shengkai.

"We don't have any, but the Japanese have plenty of bullets."

"You mean, rob?" Xu Hongchang asked, then considered the possibility. They had done this before during their wars, but now, whether in terms of terrain or numbers, they really had no advantage whatsoever.

Getting bullets isn't going to be easy. Since Old Tang has already figured out a way, why is he wasting his time thinking about it?

"Tell me quickly, what do you want to do?"

Tang Shengkai: "It's a bit difficult for us to launch a preemptive attack on the Japanese now, but it's not impossible. However, getting some bullets from the Japanese shouldn't be too hard, hehe."

None of them quite understood what Tang Shengkai meant, but Chen Erniu was the most anxious. "Old Tang, what time is it? The Japanese will be coming across the bridge soon. Hurry up and tell us."

Tang Shengkai pointed to the large trees that had shielded them from bullets.

"The Japanese have already fired quite a few bullets this way, and there should be a lot of bullets piled up in those two trees outside. When those Japanese soldiers come across the bridge later, let's not stop them. Let a few of them come over, and then we'll grab a few guns first."

"Ha!" Chen Erniu's eyes lit up, and the others also thought this idea was feasible.

Fei Shuwen raised a new dilemma: "The Japanese have countless guns pointed at our position, and we can't get up at all. What if we don't even manage to grab a gun and end up being surrounded by the Japanese?"

Xu Hongchang had also thought of this problem and nodded in agreement.

Tang Shengkai nodded; he had already thought of this and had a pre-arranged plan.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, facing off against well-equipped Japanese soldiers, running out of bullets meant certain death. Therefore, he was determined to seize these bullets.

His deep eyes revealed determination and courage as he carefully observed the movements of the Japanese soldiers while quietly explaining his plan to his comrades beside him.

"I'll observe this carefully first. If this plan doesn't work, we'll use another method."

As he spoke, Tang Shengkai pointed to the log behind him, "There should still be enough bullets in here. If there are too many guns pointed at us later, we'll just wait for the Japanese to come to the bridge."

Once they reach the middle, we'll throw stones at them. Those Japanese soldiers facing us definitely won't stand for it and will start firing in our direction. Hehe, the bullets will come flying!

Everyone nodded, and a spark of hope ignited in their eyes. Old Tang is a cunning fellow, and although he's a bit ruthless, he should be very useful.

However, if the Japanese soldiers use hooks to snag the logs halfway through, then their plan will have to change, and they will have to use another method.

They all knew that the Japanese were not without defenses, and if they used hooks to destroy their "fortress" while crossing the bridge, the risk of being hit head-on with stones would greatly increase.

The "Hey ha" sound came from the other side again. "Hmph! These Japanese devils know that it's not easy to walk on a log." Tang Shengkai felt that if it weren't for Chen Erniu's loose tongue, they might have been really bored along the way.

The Japanese soldiers relentlessly pursued them, severely disrupting their direction and objectives. Everyone felt a sense of unease, but Chen Erniu always managed to crack a few witty remarks to lighten the mood.

Both sides have been exposed and there is no need to hide anymore. The Japanese side has gone to great lengths to set up a wooden structure, and now they urgently need to solve their hunger problem.

After all, only by filling their stomachs can they have the energy to continue fighting and implementing the plan. Tang Shengkai had to find a way to fill everyone's stomachs and restore their energy under the limited conditions.

The captured goat was quickly skinned and roasted over a fire.

Tang Shengkai pointed to the goat at his feet. "Brothers, the Japanese are too slow. Let's deal with this goat first and fill our stomachs."

"Hey, you know what, the only good thing about these mountains is that we never run out of food. If it weren't for these Japanese devils following us around every day, life in the mountains would be really quite easy."

The amount of meat I've eaten in the last few days is more than I've eaten in a whole year. But it just doesn't taste very good. If only I could get some seasoning from the Japanese!

Chen Erniu muttered to himself, but he was the first to get to work. He was quite nimble, and he packed things up very efficiently.

Upon hearing this, others gathered around and began to process the goat.

Chen Erniu skillfully picked up the dagger, preparing to skin the goat, muttering to himself, "This goat looks quite plump, it'll definitely smell delicious when roasted."

Bu Mancang then gathered the dry branches they had just cut and mixed them with some of the existing dry branches and leaves on the ground to start a fire.

While helping out, Xu Hongchang vigilantly observed the movements of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite bank, fearing that they might launch a surprise attack at this moment.

Fei Shuwen and Wang Junhui were not idle either. Under Tang Shengkai's instructions, they continued to make simple arrangements for the surrounding environment, piling some branches and stones in key locations so that defensive fortifications could be quickly built if necessary.

Seeing Chen Erniu peel off the goat skin and was about to throw it into the fire, Tang Shengkai quickly stopped him.

Chen Erniu glanced at Tang Shengkai and said, "Old Tang, now is not the time to be stingy with things. This thing smells bad, and it's inconvenient for us to carry it around."
