The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 607 This is War (Part 4) [Bonus Chapter for the Sword-Wielding Noble]

Speaking of which! The SAT unit that arrived with that Japanese soldier, Tomonari Takao, had some blast armored vehicles on the ground, and weren't there also four helicopters in the air?

These four helicopters were carrying quite a few heavily armed SAT members.

They just watched helplessly as their colleagues on the ground, even their commander, were beaten to a pulp by a tank, and did nothing about it.

There are two reasons for this outcome.

On the one hand, everything is developing too fast.

Despite the considerable amount of space devoted to the descriptions of the ground battle, it only took five minutes from the moment Old Che and his crew appeared in their tanks to the moment the surviving SAT personnel fled for their lives.

The people on the helicopter wanted to find a place to land and cut off the Type 89 medium tank from the rear, but they were running out of time.

After all, these police helicopters don't carry any rockets or machine guns.

Compared to military helicopters, it only has a downgraded 5.56mm machine gun; with its power, even aimed at the relatively vulnerable top of the Type 89 medium tank, it cannot cause any real damage.

On the other hand, they themselves are also struggling to take care of themselves.

It's important to know that helicopters can only land under certain conditions; it's not a matter of just any place.

For example, there must be a large enough open space with no power lines or other obstacles nearby; otherwise, if the propeller hits something during landing, it could result in a crash and loss of life.

After the ground troops were attacked, the four helicopters immediately sought a place to land.

After spending a minute or two, they found a very good spot: about 70 or 80 meters to the right rear of the Type 89 medium tank that Lao Che and his team were driving, in the middle of a green belt on the road.

Landing here eliminates the presence of any obstacles that could threaten the helicopter's rotor.

The key is that the personnel in the cabin can quickly descend one by one along the rappelling ropes, and in a very short time, they can reach the back of the tank and blow it up.

Only as they flew toward their chosen landing site.

They were completely unaware that they were like clueless little rabbits, hopping headlong into a trap...

******
If we take an aerial view of the landing site chosen by the Japanese helicopters...

If a discerning person looks closely, they will find that it is surrounded by three buildings, and each building is only three or four hundred meters away from it.

In other words, if a sniper rifle were mounted on one of these three buildings, it would be easy to hit these helicopters that were gradually slowing down and preparing to hover.

Of course! Although these helicopters are police-grade, they still have the necessary protective measures.

For example, the bulletproof glass of the CH53 police helicopter is said to be designed to withstand 7.92mm bullets.

However, this was not a problem for Uncle Bo, the warehouse manager, and Zanana at all.

Because the weapons the three are currently using have a much larger caliber than 7.92 mm, and are naturally much more powerful.

That's right! The snipers assigned to the team this time were Uncle Bo and his two companions.

Not only ground targets, but also low-altitude targets are their job.

The three of them happened to be in a building, around the twentieth floor, and found an empty room. They cut open a pane of glass, set up their weapons, and waited.

The reason they didn't fire at the armored vehicles on the ground or at the SAT members earlier was simply because they knew it was unnecessary.

With just the old tank driven by Lao Che and his crew, they could easily beat them to a pulp.

It should be noted that the mysterious entity seemed to have anticipated that the time-traveler team would arrange for three people to act as snipers, so the three people's disguises were quite representative.

The persona that Zanana was impersonating was Lyudmila, the legendary Russian female sniper during World War II.

She is known as the 'Sniper Queen', who killed 309 opponents in less than a year with one gun, including 39 snipers.

The person Bo Shu was disguised as was Carlos, the most famous sniper among the soldiers, who set an amazing record of killing a target at 2500 meters.

The warehouse manager was disguised as Konnings, the German sniper king of World War II.

This man was the principal of the German Sniper School at the time, and that position alone speaks volumes.

As for why the three of them hid in a hotel room instead of on the rooftop of one of the three hotels, a more open space?

It just goes to show how times have changed. These days, besides helicopters, reconnaissance drones launched by Japanese intelligence agencies are constantly flying in the low-altitude airspace. Even if they were on a rooftop, covered in camouflage, they'd likely be spotted very quickly…

******
As the STA personnel on the ground, clutching C4 explosives, charged toward the Type 89 medium tank, the CH-53 helicopter flying at the forefront began to hover at its chosen landing position.

Without a doubt! This move made him the perfect target in front of Uncle Bo and the other two.

Without communicating through headsets, the three men fired their sniper rifles, or rather, their anti-tank rifles, almost simultaneously.

Uncle Bo is holding an M1918 Mauser anti-tank rifle, and Zanana is holding an S-18 Solothurn anti-tank rifle.

And the warehouse manager had a PDRT-41 anti-tank rifle in his hand, with a long flame shooting out from the muzzle.

Different models of anti-tank rifles all produced the same result: bullets of different calibers all pierced the fuselage and bulletproof glass of the police CH53 helicopter.

The only difference is due to the different shooting angles.

The bullets fired by Zanana and the warehouse manager, after piercing the machine gun, only managed to wound one of the Japanese soldiers each.

The kind of injury that results in a bullet hitting the arm, shoulder, or other parts of the body, causing them to be broken or shattered.

Uncle Bo's shot pierced the glass and struck the driver squarely in the head; with a bang, the driver's skull was gone.

The out-of-control plane immediately plummeted diagonally towards the ground.

Just as the co-pilot, whose body was covered in splattered blood and flesh, was about to do something, Uncle Bo, with astonishing hand speed, pulled the bolt, loaded another bullet, and pulled the trigger again.

After that, he shot the co-pilot, smashing his chest to pieces.

The helicopter was now unmanned. It crashed into the ground and exploded violently. The group of Japanese soldiers on board had no time to escape and were engulfed in flames.

Despite such a victory, Uncle Bo and his two companions didn't even have time to glance at it.

The moment the gunshots rang out, the other three helicopters knew there was an ambush, and their pilots immediately began to flee.

We can no longer worry about things like airdrops or being attacked from both sides.

If they don't act quickly, they'll be out of range of the weapons in a very short time at the speed of a helicopter.

Thanks to the semi-automatic nature of her anti-tank rifle, Zanana has the fastest reaction speed.

After quickly locking onto a Dolphin helicopter, he rapidly pulled the trigger; in a short time, he fired all nine remaining bullets from the magazine.

Because of her sudden increase in strength, the recoil from firing had almost no effect on her.

It was probably the seventh shot that hit the Dolphin helicopter's fuel tank; so the Dolphin helicopter didn't even hit the ground before it exploded violently in mid-air.

It was only seven or eight seconds later than Uncle Bo, and Zanana also achieved a victory.

The warehouse manager, who had already fired four shots without getting anything, grew impatient. He loaded a 14.5mm bullet and prepared to fire at a target.

Damn it! It wasn't that his marksmanship was bad, it was just bad luck. He simply couldn't find the right angle to shoot the driver.

Then, at this moment, something happened that made Uncle Bo and Zanana beam with joy, but the warehouse manager was about to curse.

The four Japanese helicopters that formed the formation were not far apart to begin with; now, in the hasty evacuation after the attack, some situations have arisen quite reasonably.

Before the warehouse manager could fire, the two police CH53 helicopters suddenly collided.

Or perhaps, because they were too close together, their propellers clashed and were smashed to pieces in the blink of an eye.

After losing the function of the propellers, the two helicopters fell to the ground like two large blobs of bird droppings.

Looking at the suddenly empty low sky, the warehouse manager was completely dumbfounded; Zanana and Uncle Bo were able to shoot down a helicopter, but he was the only one who didn't. Didn't he have any pride?

Overwhelmed with frustration, he couldn't help but curse, "Aren't those Japanese rich? Send a few more planes, let me have my fun."

Then, the warehouse manager's wish came true.
But when he saw the plane in the sky, he became even more depressed; because the plane that had just arrived was not a helicopter, but a Type 35B fighter jet.

No matter how skilled he is, he can't shoot down a fifth-generation fighter jet with an anti-tank gun...
