Chapter 207 Bullet Explosion
207
The corner of Chen Erniu's mouth twitched. The bullet pierced his arm. If it didn't hurt, then what was the difference between him and a piece of wood? He was just enduring it.
"Oh, Old Tang, I'm really hungry."
Tang Shengkai didn't even raise his head. "I think you don't want to eat human food anymore. It would be more appropriate to wait until you reach the underworld for your next meal."
Chen Erniu......
Bu Mancang could tell that Tang Shengkai was angry, so he stepped forward to help, "Old Tang, don't be angry. You've been protecting us for so many days, and we're ready at any time.
if..."
"No ifs." Tang Shengkai interrupted Bu Mancang. At this time, he had already lit the wood with many bullets on it. Looking at the burning wood, several people understood how Tang Shengkai wanted to get the bullets out, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
But then Xu Hongchang came over immediately, pulled over a few pieces of burning wood and extinguished the fire immediately, and Bu Mancang and others also reacted.
Tang Shengkai frowned. Seeing that the wood had gone out, Xu Hongchang took a deep breath and said, "Old Tang, a bullet is generally composed of four parts: the bullet, the shell, the propellant and the primer.
When a bullet is exposed to a high-temperature flame, the situation becomes very dangerous because the high temperature may cause the propellant to burn. Once the propellant is ignited, the gas in the relatively closed space of the cartridge case expands rapidly, causing an explosion.
Tang Shengkai was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know this. He originally thought that this way he could pick up the bullets faster, but it seems that this method doesn't work.
"Well, I didn't think it through."
Xu Hongchang shook his head. "You've been in the army for a short time, so you haven't learned a lot yet. I don't blame you."
After Xu Hongchang finished speaking, he assigned the task of flushing out the bullets to the others, and then continued to deal with the bison.
This episode did not affect them. Bu Mancang sighed, thinking of what Old Tang had just said about there being no ifs. He knew what Old Tang was thinking, but the situation was not optimistic at all.
Xu Hongchang put the beef on the grill and said, "Old Tang, the Japanese planes will probably come tomorrow. By then, we will..."
Tang Shengkai glanced at the few people and said, "It's okay, let's talk after dinner." After saying this, he closed his eyes and began to rest. He hadn't slept for several days and nights, relying on spiritual power to support himself. He could already feel the spiritual energy in his body drying up.
But the Japanese had been making trouble non-stop these past few days, and he didn't dare leave at all. He had just taken down a few of them, and they must have become wary again, so they stopped for a while.
Tang Shengkai wasn't very good at replenishing his spiritual energy yet, mainly because the spiritual energy in his body wasn't flowing smoothly. He knew that if it weren't for these few thrilling moments, he probably wouldn't have reached the first level of Qi training in his lifetime.
He closed his eyes and emptied his mind. The spiritual energy around him rushed towards his body frantically. He was like a shriveled sponge absorbing water.
Xu Hongchang and the others quieted down. They had all taken turns resting over the past few days, but Old Tang was the only one who kept working like a machine. Xu Hongchang thought that if they could return, Old Tang would be able to gain a lot of military merit just based on what he had done.
The Japanese were very angry, but after losing 5 more warriors, they did not dare to act rashly. They originally wanted to kill these people before the plane came, so that their efforts would not be in vain.
However, those people were really too difficult to deal with. No matter how hard they tried, they really couldn't get through this natural barrier that was more than 4 meters wide.
No one on their side was willing to go up the wooden bridge anymore. The leader figured that since the plane would arrive tomorrow at the latest, they might as well wait. They could just feint a few times later.
Xu Hongchang handed a large piece of roasted beef to Tang Shengkai. Tang Shengkai opened his eyes and started eating. When several people were dividing the beef, Tang Shengkai heard movement on the opposite side. He turned around and saw that someone over there had started to build a bridge again.
Tang Shengkai was not in a hurry and chewed faster.
Xu Hongchang has been practicing these days, "They have started building bridges again."
"Well, don't worry, Captain. Quickly break the wood with the bullets in it, and you can pick out all the bullets later."
Xu Hongchang nodded. While chewing beef, he was thinking about how to snatch a few guns from the Japanese.
As if he had thought of something. "Old Tang, do you have an idea?"
Tang Shengkai nodded. "The number of people on the other side has been increasing these days. There's no way to figure out what's going on here. I'm going to go over there."
"no!"
"no!"
Several people spoke up, what's the difference between going there now and walking into a trap?
"Old Tang, this is too risky. Let's wait a little longer."
Xu Hongchang himself didn't believe what he said. If there was a way, they wouldn't have been trapped here for three days.
"Don't think about it anymore. I've made up my mind. Captain, when I start fighting over there, they won't be able to take care of us. You guys should run into the dense forest while it's dark and we can't see."
"No, we will never abandon you."
Tang Shengkai looked at Xu Hongchang helplessly, thinking to himself, is there a possibility that you are getting in my way here?
"Commander, tonight is our only chance to enter the dense forest. Only by entering the dense forest can we avoid being easily found by planes. Only then will we have a chance of survival."
How could Xu Hongchang not know this? But he couldn't do such a thing as leaving Old Tang alone.
Tang Shengkai understood Xu Hongchang's concerns. "Battalion Commander, you should be aware of my speed. The Japanese can't catch up with me at all. But if you are all here, I won't be able to move freely."
After thinking for a moment, Tang Shengkai continued, "Battalion Commander, pick up all the bullets later. I'll get a few guns and throw them over to you. When you get into the woods, we won't be afraid even if the Japanese chase us again."
"This is just your best-case scenario, what if..."
"There's no such thing as a one-time event, Captain. You have to believe that I can do it."
Several people had conflicted looks on their faces. They knew that what Old Tang said was the best way, and rationally they should follow this method, but secretly, they didn't want Tang Shengkai to take the risk.
Tang Shengkai stared at Xu Hongchang, "Battalion Commander, the honor of the motherland is above all else."
Something flashed across Xu Hongchang's stern face, but it was so quick that no one noticed in the darkness. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take care, Old Tang!"
Tang Shengkai nodded solemnly. The beef was cooked through, and everyone had their fill. Wang Junhui extinguished the fire. Their area was plunged into complete darkness.
It was different on the other side. They knew that Tang Shengkai had no bullets, so they blatantly built several bonfires. There were also wild game, and they also brought seasonings. The smell of roasted pheasants and rabbits was simply too tempting.
Xu Hongchang and the others were using stones to smash the wood. Tang Shengkai thought it was too slow. In the dark night, he used his spiritual energy to attack the wood directly. With a few "crackling" sounds, the wood shattered.
The others were smashing the wood with rocks, and they didn't even notice who had smashed the wood so hard.
Tang Shengkai stood up, carrying a piece of wood. "I'm leaving now. You guys light a small fire and collect bullets. Don't show your heads."
"Old Tang, be careful."
Xu Hongchang's eyes turned red in the dark night. Others also gave him instructions.
Tang Shengkai nodded and quickly ran upstream.
The leader on the other side of the river kept his eyes on Xu Hongchang and his men. Seeing that their fire had gone out, he became alert. However, the other side was completely dark and he could not see anything.
However, in order to avoid missing out on the situation on this side, he kept his eyes fixed on the other side. After more than ten minutes, he felt as if a dark shadow had disappeared.
The leader frowned, blinked and looked carefully again, but there was nothing.
He was puzzled, yet it seemed unlikely. Was he dazzled? Who could be that fast? He shook his head and continued eating.
But his eyes remained fixed on the other side. He felt that there must be some movement on the other side. He arranged for people to keep an eye on the surroundings. What if they came secretly?
But then I thought it was impossible. Were they unarmed? Haha!
