The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu
Chapter 125: All the work in vain?
Chapter 125: All the work in vain? (Added to the post on 2/11 for the creator of the color shadow)
Time: A little after eight o'clock in the morning on the fifteenth day after traveling back.
Location: Behind a large gun store in Los Angeles on the west coast of North America, in a shooting range attached to it.
Uncle Bo pulled the trigger of an old-fashioned rifle with a "click", and a bullet flew towards the target four hundred meters away.
When he looked at the rake with the telescope, he could see that it had hit a double ring.
If you look at a target four hundred meters away from your current position, even if Uncle Bo has a vision of 1.5 in both eyes, you can only see a vague outline and color block.
Frankly speaking, as long as you can hit the target, this result is already quite good.
But even so, there was still no joy on Uncle Bo's face, instead he looked quite dissatisfied.
The main reason was that the old-fashioned rifle in his hand cost him a high price of 2500 US dollars, which is equivalent to 18221 yuan in RMB, which is equal to one-ninth of their total weapons procurement funds.
Of course, after spending so much money, this rifle must not be an ordinary item. Uncle Bo has a reason to buy it.
Because a 4x Ogura optical sniper scope is installed on the rifle.
So, this thing is actually a rare Japanese Type 97 sniper rifle, which is an upgraded version of the Type 38 sniper rifle.
It’s just because it hasn’t been used for a long time that this sniper scope is no longer accurate and needs to be properly debugged.
"Let's see how to adjust it 0.5 degrees to the right." Uncle Bo muttered to himself and took action.
After some careful adjustments, Uncle Bo pulled the bolt again, aimed at the target with the sniper scope, and pulled the trigger again.
Then the gun didn't go off, the thing jammed.
The reason for this is that the island country has long stopped the production of 6.5mm caliber, original Youban rifle bullets.
Now that Uncle Bo wants to practice his shooting skills with this Type 6.5 sniper rifle, he can only make do with the mm caliber Mauser rifle bullets produced in Sweden.
Not only is this type of bullet not cheap at all, it also often jams when used in the Japanese rifles.
After spending another ten minutes, Uncle Bo finally adjusted the sniper scope of the Type 97 sniper rifle; basically, at a distance of 400 meters, seven out of ten shots can hit the seventh ring or above.
However, when Uncle Bo left the shooting range with the adjusted gun, his face did not look very happy.
The key reason was that the weapons procurement task assigned to him by Hu Biao and others did not progress smoothly.
First of all, Uncle Bo can be sure of one thing, that after traveling through time, it is actually relatively easy to get some rifles on the battlefield.
Therefore, for their small team, it is enough to have a Type 97 sniper rifle to use. There is no need to purchase other Type 38 rifles and Mauser rifles for the time being.
On the contrary, automatic weapons such as submachine guns are more difficult to obtain.
In addition, it has stronger firepower and can play a key role in combat, so it must be purchased as much as possible.
After buying two Thompson submachine guns and some 11.43mm caliber bullets, there was only more than 1800 US dollars left for purchasing.
I didn't buy any other anti-armor and anti-aircraft weapons, and it seems there's no way to buy them.
Even a simple antique anti-tank gun can't be bought for more than 1800 US dollars, let alone a 37mm anti-tank gun or a 20mm anti-aircraft gun.
He even wanted to buy some antique pistols, but they were far from enough to be used as secondary weapons. This gave Uncle Bo a terrible headache.
The situation took a turn for the better when Uncle Bo was about to leave the gun store.
Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw that in the hands of the gun shop owner, Old John, a Winchester M1887 shotgun shell was being maintained.
It's the kind of shotgun that the governor in the "Terminator" movie operated with one hand while riding a motorcycle and firing.
After seeing this shotgun, Uncle Bo suddenly reacted: This type of shotgun has been invented for more than a hundred years, and it must be something that can be brought over when traveling through time.
Wouldn't it be awesome to use this thing to fire a shot before a bayonet fight or during a trench battle?
Anyway, it must be much more convenient to use than a pistol.
More importantly, the Winchester M1887 shotgun is a weapon that is widely available throughout North America, so the price should not be too expensive.
With this thought in mind, Uncle Bo turned and walked to the counter and asked, "Old John, give me a price for that shotgun in your hand."
"2000 US dollars, this is definitely a preferential price only for old friends." Old John said sincerely.
Uncle Bo immediately made a sharp offer: "1200 US dollars, if not, I'm leaving." After hesitating for three seconds, Old John extended his right hand: "Okay, man! Deal."
In this way, in the next few days, Uncle Bo bought two more Winchester M1887 shotgun shells, bringing the total number of these things to three.
The remaining purchasing funds were definitely not enough, so Uncle Bo had to use his credit card to spend more than a thousand yuan to buy them.
It can also be regarded as continuing to promote the ridiculous operation of paying to fight the Japanese.
******
On the seventeenth day after traveling back in time, a little after two in the afternoon, I was in the shop in Deyue Building.
By this time, the shop's dinner hours were basically over, with only the last few customers left eating twice-cooked pork with rice.
That’s right! It’s twice-cooked pork with rice.
The main reason was that Hu Biao often made this dish as a side dish for Annie in the store, and other customers saw it and strongly requested it to be served; after doing it many times, the store added this business item.
As for the dish Maoxuewang, it is not available at the moment because the preparation process is more complicated.
However, during this rare free time in the afternoon, Hu Biao, who was sitting behind the cashier counter, did not show any intention of counting the lunchtime business income.
Instead, he kept scrolling through his phone, muttering with a puzzled look on his face:
"That's not right! Could it be that all the fighting and death during the last time I traveled through time was in vain in this modern plane?"
The reason why Hu Biao made such a sigh was that the reason why Hu Biao and his men were able to hold on in the bloody battle at Dunwu Temple last time was not only because of their deep hatred for the Japanese devils.
Another big reason is that every time of traveling and fighting to the death, some positive changes can be made in the modern plane.
For example, didn’t his first time traveling through time suddenly give Zhou Kun inspiration, leading to a huge breakthrough in “room-temperature superconducting materials”?
But when I came back for the second time, more than half a month had passed.
These people have not gained any inspiration, invention or breakthrough; some good news in China, such as the achievements in AI, has nothing to do with them.
This made him quite confused.
At this moment, Annie walked into the shop from outside with the sound of high heels clicking.
Before Hu Biao could say anything, a customer who almost regarded Deyue Building as a canteen and patronized it almost every day saw this and started to joke:
"Hey! Boss lady, you're here to help again, but it seems you're a little late today."
"What boss lady? Don't talk nonsense. I don't even have a boyfriend." After hearing this, Annie looked at Hu Biao and said this.
Upon seeing this, the other customers in the store burst into laughter.
How could they not see that the relationship between Hu Biao and Annie was as thin as a piece of paper and would break with just a poke?
That is to say, neither of this man and woman has taken the initiative to expose the truth.
Seeing Annie coming, Hu Biao put down his phone and temporarily stopped worrying about the changes and benefits of the modern dimension. He stood up and took out the dishes that had just been cooked from the kitchen.
As well as half a bottle of Erguotou and a cup on the table.
This is because Annie said in a letter last night that she has work this morning and will come over later.
For this reason, Hu Biao waited for her to come over for dinner, and drank a little by himself during the meal to relieve the fatigue from the busy lunch.
Just when Hu Biao turned around and went to the kitchen to get food.
Annie, who always said she couldn't drink, picked up the bottle of Erguotou on the table and drank half of it in one gulp.
There was no other way! In order to maintain her image in front of Hu Biao, she kept saying that she couldn't drink; but how many girls who grew up in Northeast China couldn't drink?
What's more, when you have delicious food, it always feels a little bit lacking if you don't drink a few sips.
So when Hu Biao helped Annie prepare the meal and came back to pour himself some wine, he saw that there was only a little Erguotou left in the bottle.
I scratched my forehead, feeling like there was something wrong with my memory.
He didn't notice at all that the girl opposite him looked even more attractive because of the alcohol.
"Hu Biao is just a big pig's hoof!" Annie complained in her heart as she ate her meal...
