The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 157 The Biggest News
It should be the three-hour attack in the morning that exhausted all the fighting courage of the Japanese Special Marines.

So on October 10, and for the rest of the day, the Japanese did not launch any direct attack.

They simply sent out troops to surround the Sihang Warehouse from a distance, firing cold shots from time to time.

This also gave the defenders, who were also exhausted in the morning's battle, an extremely precious opportunity to catch their breath.

However, the above situation does not mean that the defenders in the Sihang Warehouse and the people of Shanghai on the other side of the river will be able to completely calm down in the coming period of time.

There are still many things happening that make people on both sides of the strait worried.

The reason for all this was simply the battle that took place in the morning, which had awakened the Chinese compatriots in the Magic City Concession, who had originally been numb and desperate.

Then naturally, they wanted to do something for their fellow Kuomintang soldiers who were defending the other side of the river.

So starting from noon, they began to act one by one.

It also allows scenes that are either tragic, touching, or even a little funny and tearful to unfold one after another...

At 1:52 p.m., Hu Biao, Huang A'di, Uncle Bo, Huang Yizi, Xufeng, Chen Tang and others were in a corner on the first floor.

He counted the Thompson submachine guns in their hands with a headache, and found that there were less than a hundred rounds of bullets left.

The Thompson submachine gun truly lives up to its nickname, the "Chia-Gorge Typewriter." It's truly quite useful.

Especially after installing the super-large drum magazine with a capacity of 100 rounds, it is a bit heavier and more cumbersome, making it a bit inconvenient to fire while lying down.

But in terms of firepower density and firepower duration, it is really powerful.

When this thing is fired in battle, it can suppress an entire squad of Japanese soldiers, or even a larger number of them, so that they cannot raise their heads.

But the biggest problem now is that the firepower density of this thing is too strong.

The firepower is strong, so the speed at which bullets are consumed is also astonishing.

The Thompson submachine gun uses 11.43mm caliber pistol bullets, which can currently only be produced by Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal in China, making it relatively difficult to replenish.

After Hu Biao and his men arrived at the Sihang Warehouse, they found two boxes of 11.43mm caliber bullets. Together with the ones that Uncle Bo had brought with great effort, the quantity seemed to be quite large.

Unfortunately, the fighting in the morning was too intense, and the rate at which bullets were consumed was much faster than expected.

Anyway, after finishing other things, Hu Biao and others were in the mood to count the remaining ammunition, but they helplessly found that there were not many 11.43mm caliber bullets left.

If they divided it all up, the three Thompson submachine guns they had couldn't even fill up a 100-round oversized drum magazine.

It can only hold three or four 20-round magazines, which is probably not enough for a single battle.

After thinking of something, Huang Adi suggested to Uncle Bo: "Old Cucumber, next time when we go shopping in the modern plane, why don't we buy some MP28 submachine guns.

Because although the Thompson is easy to use, the bullets are too difficult to replenish.

The situation is still better now. After Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan is occupied by the Japanese, the country's last production capacity of 11.43mm caliber bullets will be gone.

It will be even more difficult to replenish bullets at that time.

Without bullets, this thing is no better than a fire stick."

After hearing this, Uncle Bo couldn't help but complain, saying that as long as he had enough US dollars, buying some MP28s would not be a big deal at all.

He can buy weapons with more powerful firepower, such as the MG34 general-purpose machine gun and the M2 heavy machine gun.

The key is to have enough US dollars.

But just as he was about to speak, he heard a cry of alarm: "Captain Hu, there is movement on the garbage bridge."

With that exclamation, every one of them immediately rushed to the window and looked towards the warehouse near the Suzhou River...

******
Garbage Bridge, the full name should be "Zhejiang Road Bridge".

This is a steel truss bridge with a fish-belly simply supported beam, about 60 meters long. Because it is close to the Suzhou River garbage terminal, it is called the Garbage Bridge by the people of Shanghai.

Of course, it doesn't matter what it's called.

Importantly, it was very close to the Sihang Warehouse. Just exit the warehouse from its back door and walk a dozen meters to a bridge, which led to the safe International Settlement. At this moment, under the gaze of Hu Biao and the others, they saw a huge German flag slowly moving in front of them.

Below the flags, there were figures bending over and lowering their heads. In addition to carrying some boxes, one of them, at the very back, was holding a roll of telephone wire that was being laid out.

Suddenly, there was a gunshot.

The hand holding the telephone wire was hit, and a roll of telephone wire fell onto the bridge.

The crowd under the flag continued to move forward, and the man whose arm was hit rushed out from under the flag and rushed towards the fallen telephone wire.

Then another gunshot rang out, killing the man on the bridge.

After seeing this scene, Hu Biao and the others couldn't help but look at each other; they knew that it was probably the scene in the movie where the gangsters in Shanghai started risking their lives to deliver telephone lines across the bridge.

They want to establish a connection with the warehouse and find out what help the warehouse needs.

After seeing this situation, Hu Biao and the others did not immediately shout and tell them to go back, and there was no need to pull the telephone line.

On the one hand, although it is true that Annie will deliver a radio tonight as agreed, it is not convenient to let Captain Xie and others know about this, at least not now.

On the other hand, they also made some targeted preparations in advance.

These preparations should be useful, and so many people in the underworld would not have died.

Immediately, Hu Biao roared to the group of travelers, "Quick, prepare for support."

After hearing this, everyone took action. Uncle Bo, Huang A'di and the other two picked up a rifle and immediately rushed upstairs.

They were preparing to look for an opportunity to see if they could take down the Japanese sniper.

Hu Biao and others picked up their weapons and a small bag, ready to rush out the back door, because the contents of the bag were exactly what they had prepared in advance.

A smoke bomb can be DIYed with some simple materials such as sugar, candles, saltpeter, cans, etc.

I believe that with Black Star's accuracy in throwing grenades, he can throw them to multiple locations on the Garbage Bridge, causing large clouds of smoke to float above it.

In this way, when the devils' vision is affected, the chances of survival of those people in the underworld will be greatly increased.

It must be said that the method used by Hu Biao and others is as simple as ever, but it is quite effective.

But something that they had not expected still happened inevitably; when a group of them were about to rush out of the back door, they found that those who were holding German flags had already come in.

All the people in the group are foreigners, and there are even two big foreigners among them.

However, at this moment, Hu Biao and his men didn't even have time to take a second look at these people; because those gangsters on the other side seemed to have anticipated the telephone line long ago and it would not be so easy to deliver it.

So at this moment, they have already started a death relay, a death relay watched by countless people.

Those who were once considered by the people of Shanghai to be violent and bullying the good people began to line up spontaneously not far from the south end of the Garbage Bridge.

Every time a gangster pressed his fingerprint on a death certificate, Mr. Du, who was sitting beside him, would nod.

One is to express appreciation for them, and the other is to make a promise that a resettlement fee will definitely be sent to his family and that his death will not be in vain.

So, after shouting something like "XXX from Liaocheng, Shandong Province, give the money to my mother", these gangsters started running as hard as they could and rushed to the bridge with all their might.

Then, they would be knocked down by the bullets of the Japanese sharpshooters in the expectant eyes of countless people.

In a short period of time, two of their men were beaten to death.

So they had to hurry up and throw out the smoke bombs they had prepared.

However, Hu Biao and the others did not notice this point. Among the foreigners who came with flags, one of them accidentally saw Si Pujie's face and his eyes immediately became bright.

He never expected that he would see Hu Biao, who was rumored to have died in battle long ago, here.

This is the biggest news in the Sihang Warehouse...
