Chapter 134: A Brilliant First Battle (Updated 5/11 for the Color Shadow Master)

...If we can use the modern tactics, which are almost a century ahead, on the Japanese invaders during World War II, we can often achieve amazing results at a very low cost.

This is always the happiest time for us.

Unfortunately, the essence of war is a process of collision of hard power, and opportunities and occasions like this where one can gain an advantage are extremely rare.

More often than not, even the special forces in the modern dimension could only hold their bayonets and fight the devils...

...Excerpt from Hu Biao's diary collection "Hu Shuo"...

On October 10, 27, the first day of the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, it was a little after 9 a.m.

Holding a Zhongzheng rifle in his hand, the rookie Chen Tang looked outside carefully through a window on the first floor.

This Zhongzheng rifle was a spare gun of the 524th Regiment.

In order to hold out as long as possible, they made a lot of preparations in advance, at least they had enough guns and ammunition.

Although he had the weapon, Chen Tang was still a little too nervous.
I felt that the palms of my hands were full of sweat, so much so that when I gripped the walnut buttstock and handguard, they were wet and uncomfortable.

There was no way! Through the window, Chen Tang could see that the Transportation Building, a little further away, had been occupied by the Japanese.

A national army flag with a blue sky and a white sun was thrown down by them like garbage.

Instead, a glaring Japanese flag was planted on the roof; during this process, many Japanese soldiers on the roof and surrounding areas cheered loudly.

At the same time, perhaps without much effort, the Japanese occupied all areas north of Suzhou River.

About a dozen Japanese soldiers walked into the warehouse's wide-open door with a relaxed look on their faces, as if they were on a picnic.

Once they come in completely, the battle will officially begin, which means that Chen Tang’s first actual combat in his life will officially begin.

Although he is a PLA veteran, he even served as an armed scout in the special forces, the legendary special forces soldier.

But in the modern environment, no matter how hard you train, you have never really seen blood or killed anyone, right?

In such a situation, it is normal to feel a little nervous.

Two minutes later, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers walked into the warehouse.

It should be Lei Xiong, the company commander in charge of the defense of the first floor, who shouted "Close the door", which was also the signal for everyone to take action.

After a brother pulled the pulley, the two heavy doors were quickly closed with a creaking sound.

At the same time, hundreds of brothers above appeared one after another from the hidden reinforced concrete support pillars or from behind the fortifications built with sandbags.

They opened fire before the Japanese soldiers who had just charged had any chance to react.

In just a moment, all the devils were knocked to the ground, and our side suffered no casualties.

In a hurry, Chen Tang leaned out from behind a support pillar and fired two shots in total; unfortunately, the strong recoil of this old-fashioned bolt-action rifle made him uncomfortable as he was used to the Type 95 and Type assault rifles, and all his shots missed the target.

Fortunately, even though his two shots missed the target, it did not affect the outcome of the battle in the slightest.

Especially when he saw more than twenty real Japanese devils being killed in front of him, his heart was filled with unspeakable joy; as the old saying goes, only the Japanese devils who were killed are good Japanese devils.

Look! Looking at the dead devils all over the ground.

Chen Tang didn't have any physical reaction caused by the psychological discomfort of seeing someone die in front of him; because he didn't care about the Japanese people in the modern dimension, but the Japanese devils during World War II were basically all animals.

What's there to feel bad about when this kind of animal dies?

Hu Biao was not wrong in his guess. The elders of the Chentang family had a blood feud with the Japanese devils, and therefore had a natural enthusiasm for fighting them.

Specifically, it was his grandfather who had experienced many Japanese bombings in Shuangqing when he was a child. He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene of tens of thousands of people crowded in the air-raid shelter and suffocated to death in the bombing.

I saw my neighbor blown into two pieces, with his intestines hanging from a tree.

Later, he decided to study medicine, and worked as a dock worker to make a living while studying. After he graduated, he saved many people in his life.

Therefore, since he was a child, Chen Tang has always admired the old man in his family.

Although the old man's medical skills were not passed on to him, he passed on something more important to him, which was to remember that humiliating history and his hatred for the devils...

******
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed, and there was no casualty on our side. Everyone in the warehouse cheered, and Chen Tang also cheered with joy.

But the next second, he was surprised to see Hu Biao, Hei Xing, Uncle Bo and Huang A'di rushing over.

He quickly took the Type 38 rifle, bullet box, grenade, gas mask, cigarettes, etc. from the Japanese soldier's body and put everything he needed into his pockets.

He looked so impatient, as if an old widower had met a young widow.

By the time he realized it, he, a heavy smoker, had been out of food for a whole night, and even getting half a pack of cigarettes from the Japanese would have been enough.

Hu Biao and his four companions were each carrying several rifles and ran towards him as if their tails were on fire.

As he ran, he shouted, "Open the door, everyone, get ready for battle, the enemy's large force is coming soon.

Listen up, everyone. According to the original plan, the first platoon will fire first, and after the Japanese are let in, all the troops will open fire."

Amidst the shouting, a voice that must have belonged to Captain Xie rang out, echoing the voice: "Hurry up and do as Captain Hu says."

Hearing the above shouts, Chen Tang turned his head and looked out through the window, and found that the surrounding Japanese had been attracted by the gunfire.

They gathered here quickly in groups of three or two. In the blink of an eye, there were fifty or sixty people gathered, at least the size of a squad of Japanese devils.

After the light and heavy machine guns were set up, they slowly advanced towards the warehouse.

They were no longer as careless as the dozen or so Japanese devils before them. After they started to take things seriously, their tactical moves, although a little old-fashioned, were quite standard.

As expected, they are the old devils from 37 years ago, and they are quite elite.

However, this group of devils were destined to be the ones delivering food.

Because last night, no one knew how Hu Biao communicated with the company commander of the machine gun company, Lei Xiong, and later he was taken by Lei Xiong to meet Captain Xie again.

Let them adopt some simple suggestions and make some simple arrangements.

But these simple arrangements should be enough to give these unsuspecting Japanese soldiers a good beating.

Look! Hu Biao and his men quickly ran over here, took off the Type 38 rifles they had just picked up, and gave each of the seven defeated soldiers in the third squad one, along with a bullet box.

These seven defeated soldiers did not receive the same treatment as their own. They were only issued with the spare Zhongzheng rifles of the 524th Regiment. Only now did they have weapons.

Among the four people, except Uncle Bo, he continued to use the Type 97 sniper rifle with a sniper scope.

The remaining three people, Hu Biao, Hei Xing and Huang A'di, had no intention of continuing to use the Thompson submachine gun, but instead switched to the Type 38 rifle.

So after the Japanese launched the attack, there was only one Czech light machine gun and more than 30 rifles firing behind the windows on the first floor of the warehouse.

This created the illusion that there was only one platoon guarding the warehouse.

Sure enough, the Japanese were fooled immediately; especially after the light and heavy machine guns and some sharpshooters opened fire and suppressed the firepower from multiple windows of the warehouse.

The Japanese soldiers who were originally charging slowly immediately slowed down their pace and rushed into the wide-open warehouse door.

The moment they rushed in, Lei Xiong pulled the rope at hand hard without Hu Biao saying anything.

Suddenly, several bags hanging upside down at the top of the gate with a noose tied around them were opened, and the beans and flour inside poured out.

Although these things may seem insignificant, they have amazing effects.

After the beans were scattered on the cement floor of the warehouse, many Japanese soldiers slipped after stepping on them. Even if they did not fall immediately, they staggered.

To avoid dust explosions, the amount of flour pouring down is not too large, and this stuff cannot blind people's eyes.

However, after it flew up, it could also make the Japanese blind for a short time; the weapons in their hands fired indiscriminately, without any accuracy at all.

After the two were combined together, these simple daily necessities were cleverly used and immediately caused great chaos to the Japanese, and the Kuomintang soldiers in the warehouse also opened fire with all their might.

Like a dazed rabbit, they were easily knocked to the ground.

During this process, Chen Tang, who had learned from his previous shooting experience, adopted a standard standing posture to aim and pulled the trigger, finally shooting a brilliant blood flower into the chest of a Japanese soldier.

The exhilarating feeling I felt at that time is probably something only those who have often fought against the Japanese can understand...
