The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 104 Verification
At 1:27 a.m., the action team encountered the second wave of Japanese invaders.

This time, the Japanese soldiers they encountered were not secret sentries, but six Japanese soldiers who set up an open sentry with sandbags and wooden roadblocks on a dirt road with ruins on both sides.

One of them is a Type 96 light machine gun, which is considered their core firepower.

The two sides were still about twenty or thirty steps apart when a voice came from the other side: "Stop immediately, command! Which unit are you from?"

It has to be said that after successfully fooling the Japanese once, Huang A'di's confidence has skyrocketed.

After hearing this, he was not panicked at all, and answered loudly: "Long-lasting military luck, we are from the Shigeto Detachment."

As he spoke, he not only did not stop, but instead walked forward quickly with the team members behind him.

He walked up to a short sergeant and, without waiting for him to say anything, slapped him twice, causing him to stagger while cursing fiercely:
"Baga! We have an important mission now, why don't you move the roadblocks quickly?"

These devils were really despicable. Huang A'di didn't hold back when he slapped them twice, and his hands were so painful.

As a result, the sergeant with a swollen face stood up again as if his feet were spring-loaded. Without saying a word, he slapped a corporal behind him.

In this way, they were called upon to quickly remove the roadblocks, and the passage was opened in the blink of an eye.

But when he ran towards Huang A'di again and prepared to report, he didn't know what he saw wrong with Huang A'di and the others, and a hint of doubt began to rise in his eyes.

Huang A'di, who had been observing carefully, felt a sudden shock in his heart and hurriedly shouted "Do it".

He raised the pistol in his hand and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out, and cotton scraps flew all over the sky, knocking all six Japanese soldiers to the ground.

After a quick look, all the devils were dead.

Hu Biao and others pricked up their ears and looked into the distance with a look of surprise and doubt, because they were worried that the gunshots would attract the attention of the Japanese in the heavy artillery positions in the distance.

Soon after, Hu Biao and his team received good news and bad news.

The good news is that the battle between the brothers of the 1020th Regiment of the Gui Army led by Staff Officer Long and other friendly forces in the surrounding areas is still going on.

There were constant faint sounds of gunfire and even louder explosions, which made their gunshots less harsh and abrupt.

So far, the whereabouts and motives of the action team have not been exposed, and they can continue to approach the Japanese heavy artillery positions.

We even got a Type 96 light machine gun, five Type 38 rifles, a batch of bullets and small melon grenades from these devils.

The bad news was that after they turned an intersection, they finally saw the Japanese heavy artillery position in the distance.

The position was brightly lit, and every ten minutes or so, a shell would be fired from the position, as shocking as a muffled thunder.

However, the problem that gave them the most headaches was that several searchlights were installed on the outer defense positions facing this side. The searchlight poles were so bright that they could easily illuminate a distance of two to three hundred meters.

Under the illumination of such searchlights, their camouflage would be easily discovered, and it would be almost impossible for them to sneak into the heavy artillery position.

The only remaining suspense was how close they could get before being spotted by the enemy on the battlefield...

Regarding this suspense, the answer is about 220 meters in front of the battlefield; at this distance, the Japanese have already shone the bright light of the searchlight towards this side.

Even though they discovered the Type 89 tanks in the team, and Huang A'di and the others walking in front, they were all dressed in Japanese uniforms.

But I don’t know if he noticed something was wrong, or if the Japanese commander in the outer position was too cautious; Huang A'di didn't even have the chance to get closer and say the command.

A machine gun opened fire, and a burst of bullets came towards him, hitting the ground not far in front of him, causing a burst of mud and sand to fly up.
It means: stop immediately.

The subsequent action of the Japanese should be to send someone to verify their identities before allowing them to approach.

Seeing this, Hu Biao no longer had any illusions in his mind. He knew that everything that was going to happen next could only be done by rushing in without any fancy moves.

He turned the Type 96 light machine gun in his hand, and used the butt of the gun to hit the back of the Type 89 tank twice with a "dang dang" sound.

These two moves were also a signal that had been agreed upon long ago: "Charge~"

At this signal, the Black Star in the tank suddenly stepped on the accelerator, causing the Type 89 tank, which was originally moving slowly at a walking pace, to immediately speed up.

The speed reached 10 kilometers per hour, which is about the speed of an adult jogging. All the remaining people, including Huang A-di and others who were originally in the front, immediately hid behind the tank.

They crouched down, formed a long line, and trotted after the tanks.

Such a scene naturally made the Japanese realize that these people were not their own personnel; but the enemy had disguised themselves and had already found their current position.

A moment later, many sharp commands rang out from the battlefield, all urging them to open fire immediately. After the Japanese soldiers did as they were told, dense bullets were fired towards this side.

For a moment, Black Star, who was driving the tank forward, only felt the "ding-dong" sound of collision, which was like rain hitting banana leaves and reached his ears.

Hu Biao and his companions felt that a large number of bullets were whizzing around their heads and around them.

Even though they knew clearly that there was no need to worry about the above situation, they still couldn't help but shrink their necks.

By the way, tell yourself: "Stay steady, don't panic! This is just the beginning, the really difficult time is yet to come..."

******
At 1:56, the action team suffered its first casualties. At this time, the tank was 130 meters away from the outer position.

That's because by this point, some Japanese sergeants, corporals, etc. had already realized that the light and heavy machine guns and rifle bullets in their hands could not stop the approach of the tanks.

Even the infantry hiding behind the tanks could not be harmed.

So they used other tactics, setting up grenade launchers and preparing to use indirect fire to kill the long line of infantry following the tanks.

It has to be said that the elite veterans of the Japanese army these days are really versatile; not only are they good at bayonet fighting and shooting, but they can also make good use of weapons like grenade launchers, which rely entirely on experience.

Used in a hurry, one of the three grenade launchers fired for the first time fell into the crowd behind the tank.

Even the ammunition fired from the Japanese grenade launchers, whether they were special fragmentation grenades or general-purpose small melon grenades, all had delayed fuses.

It won't explode immediately after it falls, so theoretically there's still one or two seconds for everyone to react.

But humans are not machines. It is impossible for them to completely hide away in such a short time when they are in a panic.

In the explosion of a fragmentation grenade, three people nearby fell to the ground in the shock wave and flying shrapnel, instantly reducing the combat effectiveness of the action team by 40 to 50 percent.

What to do? The rest of us keep charging.

At a time like this, every second is precious. Is there anyone who can stop and save them?

Of course, Hu Biao and his men did not do nothing. They knew they had to come up with some solution; otherwise, if they were to receive a few more rounds of grenade launchers, no one would be able to devote themselves to the more crucial battle.

After shouting "Charge, keep charging, don't care who falls", Hu Biao took off a Type 90 helmet from the Japanese soldier on his head.

He also did not forget to shout: "Take the helmet and suppress the grenade."

The trick of using a helmet to suppress a grenade is a classic move that Hu Biao learned from the soldiers in the movies.

In the plot, before the grenade explodes, the soldiers will first cover the grenade with their helmets, then put their backpacks or other equipment on it, and finally put their bodies on it.

One is to rely on this method to prevent more teammates around from being harmed by the power of the grenade explosion.

Secondly, they themselves will not die. After all, the soldiers in the movie got up and continued fighting with rifles.

As to whether this plot is true or not, Hu Biao actually has no idea, because he only thought of this before setting off and hurriedly taught it to his fellow Gui army brothers.

Although there was a serious soldier named Uncle Bo among the time travelers, he was busy repairing the tank at that time, so it was not convenient for him to go up and disturb him.

But it wasn't a big deal because he knew it right away.

Several more smoking grenades and small melon grenades flew towards the team. One of the grenades fell into the team behind the tank, and they could immediately verify this move for themselves.

But this smoking little melon grenade happened to fall in front of Huang A-di.

So now is the time for this 190-pound fat guy to personally verify this statement...
