Chapter 174 Crossing the Bridge
Amid the sound of splashing water, Hu Biao threw a towel that was already extremely dirty into a bucket full of black water in front of him.

Then, looking at the half-mirror on the wall, he began to admire his own handsome face.

Before he could even take a few glances, he felt a force on his shoulder, which made him stagger two or three steps away.

When I turned my head, I found Uncle Bo with a scruffy beard standing in front of the mirror with a sharp bayonet, ready to shave himself.

While shaving, the blogger shouted:
"You idiot, what are you so proud of? No matter how handsome you are, you can never be more handsome than me. Do you think I'm going to tell you that I've been called a pretty boy since I was a kid, and I've been called that ever since I was a kid?"

"Get out of here, you old cucumber! It's not like I haven't been to Guangzhou before. Over there, any man is called a handsome boy.

On the contrary, after I turned 18, I became a famous handsome young man in the surrounding villages."

After hearing this, Hu Biao didn't say anything. Chen Tang, who was cleaning the mud from his fingernails not far away, was already cursing.

Even though he was cursing, he still had a smile on his face.

The reason for this was that it was almost 1 a.m., and when they were about to retreat into the concession, Hu Biao and his men suddenly remembered something they had been neglecting:
After fighting for several days, everyone is now covered in dust and looks like a group of beggars.

If such a miserable Military Control Commission were seen by the foreign devils in the concession, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Chinese soldiers?
However, due to the rush of time, there was no time to do big things like washing hair, taking a bath, and washing clothes. We could only fetch some water from the sewer, and everyone washed their faces and shaved at the same time.

As for the tattered military uniforms bandaged with gauze and stained with blood and gunpowder, there was no need to do anything about it.

While washing up, Hu Biao and others felt very happy because they thought that they could finally leave this hellhole and even return to the modern world.

That's why they were joking with each other like at the beginning.

By the way, a group of old men were arguing about who was the most handsome because of their weird competitive spirit.

But all of the above happened three minutes later when Hu Biao glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that the time was already after midnight.

His face suddenly became serious, and he uttered an order: "Except for the rearguard, everyone else assemble in battle formation."

Following this order, everyone began to line up.

Specifically, Hu Biao, Uncle Bo, Dead Fish, and twenty brothers with minor injuries and good marksmanship were at the front.

They needed to raise their weapons on the railings of the Garbage Bridge as soon as they rushed out, and keep firing to suppress the Japanese firepower blocking the bridge.

This made it convenient for Captain Xie and others to support and carry the other seriously injured brothers, and quickly pass through and rush into the concession.

After spending two minutes arranging the queue, before Hu Biao could issue a new order, Captain Xie whispered:
"Everyone, salute the brothers who are left behind."

After saying this, everyone in the retreating troops, even the seriously injured soldiers lying on stretchers, tried their best to sit up and solemnly saluted Hei Xing, Huang A'di, Huang Yizi, Xu Feng, Mo Shuiyan, Dead Fish and other six people.

"Brothers, you must live well."

While offering this silent blessing in their hearts, Black Star and the other six people returned the greeting in unison.

After the salute, Hu Biao and Uncle Bo worked together to slowly open the back door of the warehouse.

Suddenly, a bright moon shone into the warehouse, and the scene of the concession on the other side of Suzhou River also came into view; only at this time, the concession was still brightly lit and looked so prosperous.

The difference is that these people who usually could only watch from afar can finally set foot in it today...

******
When the time on the watch on his wrist finally reached one o'clock, Hu Biao, who was squatting outside the back door of the warehouse, whispered two words: "Do it."

Then, Hu Biao, Uncle Bo, Dead Fish and other twenty or so people were responsible for suppressing the fire.

At the first moment, they pulled out the DIY smoke bombs in their hands, swung their arms and threw them towards the bridge surface of the garbage bridge.

In the quiet night, the sound of more than twenty cans falling on the concrete bridge surface was heard from far away.

It was just as Hu Biao and his team had expected before they took action.

Although the Japanese did not launch an attack on the warehouse throughout the day, they still deployed a lot of manpower on both sides of the garbage bridge.

Moreover, these Japanese soldiers were extremely alert and reacted very quickly. When the sound of the can hitting the bridge surface was heard, a light machine gun and several rifles opened fire at the bridge surface within a second.

"Charge, charge." Hu Biao shouted this order before the smoke became completely thick.

As soon as he shouted this, he rushed out first; Huang Yizi, Uncle Bo, and other personnel responsible for suppressing the fire quickly followed.

After a burst of mad running, Hu Biao reached the northern end of the Garbage Bridge in a very short time.

He raised his gun, pulled the trigger, and with one shot killed the Japanese light machine gunner who was accurately adjusting the muzzle of his gun in a small building about a hundred meters away to the left of the Garbage Bridge.

Then he quickly pulled the bolt, pushed a bullet into the chamber, and shot the assistant gunner dead with one shot.

Then, before he could fire the third shot, he squatted down to the ground out of a dangerous instinct; but when he was halfway down, he was shot in the left shoulder.

Amidst the splattering blood, a large piece of flesh was bitten off by the bullet on his shoulder, and the pain was so severe that tears came to his eyes.

But even so, Hu Biao ignored the severe pain in his left shoulder, gritted his teeth, controlled the trembling of his arm, raised the gun and pulled the trigger again.

The main point is to suppress the enemy's firepower at all costs.

Based on the same understanding, Uncle Bo, Chen Tang and others did the same thing as Hu Biao.

Even when Uncle Bo just rushed onto the bridge, he didn't have time to raise the sniper rifle in his hand, and a brother next to him was shot in the forehead by the Japanese, and brains flew all over his face. All the efforts of washing his face and shaving were in vain.

He didn't even have time to lift his sleeve to wipe the sticky stuff off his face.

They fired quickly and blew up one of the Japanese searchlights; otherwise, with this thing, even if they threw DIY smoke bombs, the people rushing onto the bridge would have nowhere to hide.

The weapon in Chen Tang's hand at this moment was Black Star's Czech light machine gun, which had been used twice during the time travel.

Black Star was worried that if he died while using this Czech light machine gun during the rearguard mission, he might lose this precious weapon.

So just before Chen Tang left, he threw this light machine gun over.

At this moment, Chen Tang fired a long burst of shots with a light machine gun, injuring a Japanese sharpshooter on the roof of a building on the right side of the garbage bridge.

The temporary assistant gunner next to him was shot in the neck, but Chen Tang didn't even have time to look at him, and continued to fire to suppress the attack.

In short, in the very short time of rushing onto the bridge, Hu Biao and others were responsible for suppressing more than 20 people, and seven or eight people were killed or injured.

When Hu Biao and others started to shoot at each other crazily with the devils on both sides of the garbage bridge, Captain Xie and others also rushed to the bridge head.

They just fired a few shots into the air at the British defenders on the other side of the bridge, and at least half of the company-sized defenders fled in all directions as if they had encountered some fierce opponent.

Even before escaping, several policemen helped to remove the roadblocks.

Those vampires from the Sassoon family are really powerful.

Soon, Captain Xie took the lead and rushed into the concession, but after putting down a seriously injured soldier he was carrying, he rushed back onto the bridge.

Behind him, there were many seriously injured soldiers who were being supported and walking, and they were still moving slowly even though they tried their best.

And during this process, people were hit by stray bullets from time to time.

What's worse is that there are a large number of seriously injured people who have lost their ability to move and are lying on simple stretchers, and many of them are still lying in the warehouse.

They would need to make at least three trips back and forth to bring all the seriously injured.

Just at this moment, the roar of light and heavy machine guns was heard from the warehouse behind him; it seemed that the Japanese army had already reacted and was chasing them madly.

Whether or not they could take all the brothers away depended on whether the six men left behind by Black Star could buy them enough time...
