Chapter 1877: A Surprise Attack From the Sky

"Wait!" Next to the roof cover, Wu Ziqi suddenly reached out to stop Fan Tongyong who was about to push the cover open.

Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongyong looked at Wu Ziqi in confusion. In their opinion, isn't this a very simple thing? They just need to open the cover, and Wu Ziqi will throw the grenade with the string pulled down.

Once the grenade went off, the space in the building was limited after all. No matter how many devils there were, they could be knocked down. Isn't that all right?

But at this time, Wu Ziqi's eyes were cast on the two grenades in his hand.

Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongyong also looked at the grenade. Except that the grenade was a little broken and the shape was a little different from the standard grenade they usually used, they didn't see anything.

But Wu Ziqi had already seen the difference.

The warheads of these two grenades were made of inferior iron. It can't be said to be shoddy, but the craftsmanship is definitely not high.

The grenades usually produced in military factories are cylindrical, but these two grenades are oval, in other words, round.

There is a wooden handle behind the round head. It looks weird, like a wooden stick added to the back of the Japanese devils' grenade. It's not foreign or rustic, but it's still a skewer!

It's also like a mushroom that comes out of the ground after the rain, but the mushroom has not grown yet, so the shape is more like a man's--

So this grenade must not be produced by the National Army's arsenal, but should be made by the Eighth Route Army itself.

Of course, no matter what kind of grenade it is, a good grenade is one that can kill the Japanese devils.

But now Wu Ziqi has confirmed that these two grenades are definitely not good grenades.

Of course, this does not mean that if you pull the string and throw the grenade down, it will not explode. That is another problem.

What Wu Ziqi is worried about is the explosive power of this grenade!

He weighed one of the grenades and found that there were grooves on it, but there were only four grooves.

Does this mean that when this grenade explodes, it can only explode into eight petals, instead of the criss-cross grooves on the Japanese devils' grenades, which would have to have at least 8864 petals.

Let's forgive Wu Ziqi here. He can't read, so how can he do arithmetic well? The intersection of two parallel lines in the vertical and horizontal directions should result in nine petals. All he can do is a simple calculation of two four equals eight.

But whether it is eight or nine petals, Wu Ziqi is worried that his grenade will only explode in two halves after it is thrown down!

Originally, he thought the same as Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongyong. He thought that after throwing the grenade down, he and a few others would hide aside, and when the grenade exploded, he would go down from the skylight to refill the guns of the Japanese devils who were injured but not killed, and the battle would be over.

But now he took a closer look at the grenade. Only then did he realize that he was wrong. The inferior weapons provided by the Eighth Route Army doomed his surprise attack from top to bottom to be not simple!

He figured it out in an instant. After all, he pulled out the second grenade on his waist and put it aside.

Then he unscrewed the small cap behind the handle of the second grenade and placed the grenade next to him.

He then touched the first grenade again, pulled the fuse behind the grenade violently, and then signaled Fan Tongyong to open the cover!

Wu Ziqi's action frightened Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongyong. How could you pull the string first and then open the cover?

Wu Ziqi's approach was a common operation among the veterans of Shang Zhenying, but in the eyes of Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tong, it was so frightening!

When the cover was opened, a clearer gunshot went straight into Wu Ziqi's ears. It was the Japanese soldiers in the building shooting.

But Wu Ziqi couldn't care less. It was as if his head and the cover were linked. As soon as the cover was opened, he leaned his head on the ground with his left hand and stuck his right hand into the small skylight that was not much thicker than a person's waist.

There were more than ten Japanese soldiers on the second floor, all hiding next to the second-floor window. Some were shooting outside with guns, some were peeping outside, and some were holding grenades in their hands.

The one-foot skylight revealed by the cover did not attract the attention of all the Japanese soldiers who were concentrating on fighting, but two Japanese officers looked up.

When they saw it, it was the head of a Chinese soldier, the shoulder and hand sticking out of the skylight, and the strange-shaped grenade that fell after he let go!

"**", the warning sound of the two Japanese officers sounded, and at this time, the grenade had already fallen.

The Japanese squad leader who never forgot to hold his command knife instinctively waved his knife, and he wanted to chop the grenade away.

But just when he felt the steel knife in his hand touch the grenade, the grenade exploded with a "boom".

Perhaps in the underworld, the Japanese squad leader would feel that his death was a bit unfair, because he thought that his knife was too sharp and it chopped the grenade.

The Japanese squad leader fell down in the explosion.

The explosion woke up the Japanese soldiers who were fighting.

As Wu Ziqi had predicted in advance, the explosive power of this grenade was still too weak.

When the Japanese soldiers who were not blown up fell to the ground and looked for the direction of the grenade, the second grenade fell from the sky again.

Although this grenade also landed on the ground, it did not roll. It exploded the moment it landed, as if it was thrown!

When the second grenade exploded, Wu Ziqi fell from the "sky".

The ladder was still on the roof of the building. Wu Ziqi, who was not very confident about the explosive power of the two grenades, had to choose to jump down by himself.

He fell to the ground with a "bang" and squatted down first, but then bounced back and fell again!

But this did not prevent the box gun in his hand from firing like a string of cannons. As the saying goes, oh my god, why are there still these Japanese devils in this room!

In the smoke of the explosion, although Wu Ziqi only glanced when he jumped from top to bottom, he noticed that at least five or six Japanese soldiers were still able to move.

So, how many fragments were produced after the two grenades exploded? I'm afraid only God knows, and I'm afraid even the person who made the grenade himself doesn't know!

Wu Ziqi fired short bursts. He saw that some bullets hit the wall, while others hit the Japanese soldiers' bodies. After all, he was not Shang Zhen. He could fire a burst of shots, but he could not make the enemy fall down.

Since the enemy could not fall down, there were fish that slipped through the net. A Japanese soldier also knew that it was a matter of life and death, so he dragged his Type 38 rifle and ran towards Wu Ziqi at an angle.

At this time, Wu Ziqi did not notice him at all.

The Japanese soldier raised the butt of the gun, but before he could smash the butt of the gun down, there was a sound of wind falling on his head.

Another person jumped down, and a pair of big feet kicked him in the face. It was Fan Tongwu who jumped down. At the critical moment, he saved Wu Ziqi's life!

The Japanese soldier was kicked down, and Fan Tongwu was also bounced to the side.

Fan Tongzuo, who was still a little timid on top, saw his brother jump down, and he jumped down in a hurry.

Wu Ziqi had fallen flat on his butt earlier, while he fell flat on his front.

When Fan Tongzuo looked up, thinking of his brother, he happened to see the Japanese soldier who had just been kicked down by him climbing up!

At this time, Fan Tongzuo had forgotten that he was also a soldier. He jumped up and directly rode the Japanese soldier under him, raised his fist, and punched the Japanese soldier in the face.

In the chaos, there was a sound of round objects rolling on the stairs.

A moment later, there was another explosion, and several Japanese soldiers who were about to climb from the stairs to the second floor fell down in the explosion.

It turned out that the appearance of Fan Tongzuo and Fan Tongwu distracted the attention of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

Wu Ziqi took the time to find the grenade held in the hand of a Japanese soldier before, and threw the grenade down from the stairs.
