The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 196 Eight Newcomers (Additional chapters 910 for the color photographer)

Carrying a twenty-kilogram vise, the middle-aged man Nan Ze walked with an ugly face like a bitter gourd.

The reason for his reaction was definitely not just for a middle-aged man who hadn't done physical work for many years. Carrying a heavy vise on the road was really a huge burden.

The more important reason is that he is now certain that he has traveled through time.

Just like what the young man who called himself Hu Biao and was called "Sipujie" by others said: they traveled back to the Anti-Japanese War period, and were about to fight a fierce battle with the Japanese in Teng County, a battle in which they would face death.

His inner basis for this judgment is:
1. After a busy day, I wanted to reward myself, so I went to 'XX Foot Bath City'.

Under the gentle hands of Technician No. 88, he only took a short nap. When he opened his eyes, the time had changed from midnight to daytime, and the yukata on his body had turned into a dirty old-fashioned military uniform.

The place also changed from a comfortable foot bath room to a bamboo forest.

The entire scene transition process was really too outrageous and shocking.

Second, after he saw those soldiers who claimed to be from the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, he dismissed the last shred of thought in his mind that someone was trying to trick him and taking him to a film set.

It's simple! Costumes, equipment, and other props can be made to look real as long as you have the money.

But in terms of actors, it is absolutely impossible to find so many actors who fit the image of the Sichuan Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

These Sichuan Army soldiers, even the lieutenant officer, were all short and thin, with obvious signs of long-term malnutrition.

For example, not far in front of him at this moment, a skinny soldier who looked less than eighteen years old kept rubbing the heavy eye boogers in the corners of his eyes.

With the little knowledge of hygiene he had, he knew why.

In Western medicine, this is caused by lack of vitamins and malnutrition. In Chinese medicine, it is called lack of vital energy, which leads to excessive liver fire and damp heat in the liver and gallbladder.

No matter how poor the people in the modern dimension are, they wouldn't be so malnourished, right?
So to sum it up, it can be said in one sentence: Hu Biao was telling the truth, and he was about to experience the legendary Teng County Defense War, in which almost all the soldiers died for their country.

When he thought of this, Nan Ze became panicked.

The main thing is that if he doesn't really die, he would be willing to fight the Japanese. Those bastards are really hateful.

The key point is that according to Hu Biao's statement, he did not dare to bet on the possibility of resurrection after death in battle; what if that guy was deceiving him into working for him, and what if he could not be resurrected after death.

That would be completely screwed. What would happen to my wife and three children at home?
For a moment, he was extremely worried and his heart was filled with unspeakable resentment towards the mysterious existence that brought him to this hellish era.

Doesn't he often sell inferior tea as good quality tea?
This is completely industry practice! Besides, the people being scammed are all rich people. How could poor people drink such expensive tea?

Besides, doesn't he usually like to go to the foot bath city to wash his feet? But he always chats with the girls and finishes his business after washing his feet. He never goes to the third floor and changes into those blue shorts.

As for bringing him to this damn era to fight to the death with the brutal Japs?

"Nan Ze! You must be smart. If the situation gets bad after a fight, find a place to pretend to be dead immediately." Finally, the tea profiteer who had been in the society for many years told himself this.

What he didn't expect was that he would soon encounter a reason that forced him to risk his life and fight the devils to the death...

*****
Similar situations to Nan Ze also happened to the other seven novice time travelers.

This refers to them, who gradually believed Hu Biao's statement about their time travel, rather than everyone being ready to take advantage of the situation like a tea profiteer.

The 15 of them were considered deserters and were recruited into the Sichuan Army. They then reported to the regiment headquarters along with this group of Sichuan Army soldiers.

Along the way, they saw large areas of abandoned houses, refugees with their families, and Sichuan Army soldiers who were full of tension.

Even halfway through the journey, they encountered a Japanese plane, which caused everyone to panic immediately and flee desperately into the woods and grass on the side of the road.

Although it was finally proved to be a reconnaissance plane, the real feeling of fear was definitely not something that some extras could express.

The only thing that puzzled them was that after walking all the way, they finally arrived at a riverside defense line, not the county seat of Teng County; after fighting with the Japanese, would they still participate in the defense of Teng County?
Veterans like Hu Biao, who are more familiar with historical details, are not worried at all.

Because Hu Biao had been smoking and chatting with the lieutenant along the way, he had already found out the number of the unit he belonged to: the 122th Regiment of the nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

So according to the history they knew, it is now in the county seat of Teng County.

There should only be three division headquarters, namely the 122nd, 124th and 127th, and the brigade headquarters of the 364th Brigade, which means there are only 4 special forces companies, 4 communication squads, 4 medical teams, and a total of more than a thousand people.

When the Japanese appeared ten miles outside the city tomorrow, Division Commander Wang would urgently mobilize a battalion of the 727th Regiment to enter the city for defense. At the same time, he would urgently request another battalion and three companies of troops to enter the city as reinforcements from Army Commander Sun Zhen.

Unfortunately, even so, after adding the police and security forces in the city, the total force is still less than 3,000 people, and the number of combat personnel is less than 2,000.

The other reinforcements never appeared...

After arriving at the temporary regimental headquarters, the lieutenant asked Hu Biao and others to wait outside.

This wait lasted for a full hour.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Hu Biao saw that the eight novice time travelers had basically accepted the reality of time travel. He approached them one by one to chat and ask questions, and basically figured out their situation.

There were eight newcomers in total, six men and two women. They introduced themselves in this way with some reservations.

Lakshenzanana, the tall mixed-race girl, is a mixed-race of Mongolian and Indian. Because her name is too long, you can call her Zanana.

Perhaps because she had some concerns, the girl didn't reveal much information.

He is 17 years old, weighs 93 kilograms, and is 1.87 meters tall. He is currently in Argentina and works as a hunter.

Because of her profession, she is very good at free climbing, jungle cross-country, hunting, long-distance running, etc.; her marksmanship is also quite good, and she can skillfully use a variety of weapons.

The limited information revealed above was enough to surprise Hu Biao; if you can fight with a gun, why would you need a bicycle?

Codename: Van Gogh, 28 years old, from Chongzuo, Guangxi Province. He is a 1.8-meter-tall strong man, which is relatively rare in Guangxi Province.

Because I have done many jobs since entering society, I have some strange skills; for example: driving a big plane to transport pig feet, that is, a speedboat, and assembling inflatable dolls.

Code name: Wizard, 30 years old, 180 cm tall, weighs 120 kg. He can be said to be tall and strong, very strong, and has good endurance.

I majored in geological exploration in college and later obtained a master's degree in chemical engineering.

So making some simple machine tools, explosives, and anti-inflammatory drugs should be no problem, provided there is time for him to work on them and the necessary raw materials.

Code name: Mr. Nan Ze, a tea profiteer in his early forties, who looks like he has kidney deficiency. Hu Biao has no expectations of his physical strength, power, and fighting ability.

However, he claimed to know some Chinese medicine, especially how to make medicinal wine that was very good for gentlemen to drink, so Hu Biao was quite looking forward to it.

Of course, it’s not that Hu Biao wants to drink some medicinal wine. He occasionally holds hands with Annie, and he feels like a hero without a place to use his skills. He feels that he is terribly strong.

What he was looking forward to was that the time travel team finally had a doctor. Although he didn't seem very reliable, it was better than having no doctor at all.

Codename: Lao Yu, he is actually from Xuzhou, not far from here.

This is probably the reason why the people were so enthusiastic about this battle that took place at home in history, and they were willing to charge forward as soon as they were given a bayonet.

He claims to know some Japanese and his English is OK.

As for my specialties, I have good hand-making skills and good photography skills. Because of my family's education, I know a little about chemical pharmaceuticals and chemical synthesis.

In addition, I also have a good understanding of finance and banking.

Code name: Coriander, that delicate girl.

He claimed to be 22 years old, a recent college graduate, and currently working in a clothing counter; he knew nothing, could not do anything, and was timid.

She feels very scared now and hopes that everyone can take a little care of her because she is a girl.

Codename: Gongzi, about 30 years old, a senior salesman of an insurance company, eloquent; in terms of combat effectiveness, Hu Biao did not have high expectations.

Codename: Flat Bean, 35 years old, 175 cm tall, an honest man who claimed to be a screw driver in an electronics factory.

In short, there is no PLA veteran among the eight newcomers this time. Their qualities vary, and their specific performance will have to be observed in the future.

After all, Hu Biao wasn't sure how much they had concealed...
