The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 641 Hello! (Bonus chapter for Third Brother's taxi driver)

The MG34 general-purpose machine gun makes a unique 'poof' sound when it fires.

At this moment, on the rooftop of a two-story wooden building, Xu Feng was unleashing a torrent of firepower.

Thanks to a portion of the puppet troops and black-skinned dogs, the Liaoning Type 13 rifles they were equipped with used the same 7.92*57mm ammunition as the MG34 machine gun, making replenishment relatively easy.

Given that most of the surrounding buildings are single-story houses, the rooftop of this two-story building is the highest point.

Japanese troops from other directions in the city rushed to provide support after hearing the commotion.

However, relying solely on Xu Feng and A Wei, operating this MG34 general-purpose machine gun and unleashing a barrage of bullets, the entire street became a death trap for the Japanese soldiers.

Even though these Japanese reinforcements were actually armed expatriates on duty throughout the city.

Upon discovering that the area where his wife and children lived had been attacked, he displayed unprecedented fighting courage and charged towards the area without regard for anything else, but to no avail.

The fire snakes lashed out almost without stopping, taking them down halfway.

Now he can only hide far away at the other end of the street and exchange fire with Xu Feng; but he is no match for him in the firefight, and is often taken down by a hail of bullets as soon as he peeks out.

The battle lasted only about ten minutes, and the Japanese soldiers from just this direction lost about a hundred men. The closest one only managed to get to within fifty or sixty meters of the small building.

Thinking of their families whose fates were unknown, these Japanese armed civilians almost burst into tears.

However, Awei, who served as the assistant shooter, felt no satisfaction whatsoever during this process.

Instead, he would glance at Xu Feng from time to time, his eyes filled with immense worry; every time he opened his mouth as if to say something, he would eventually have to close it again.

No other reason than that, according to his careful observation, Xu Feng's condition has now become even worse.

His exposed skin was bright red, like a boiled shrimp; you could feel the heat emanating from him if you got even slightly closer.

And you could see that Xu Feng's whole body was trembling involuntarily, and his throat and cheeks were bulging as if he was about to vomit.

Although Xu Feng's hands remained incredibly steady as he held the gun and fired, he didn't actually spit it out.

However, Awei knew clearly that Xufeng's cold and fever symptoms had not only not improved, but had become more severe; with such severe symptoms, the fever could probably reach 41 or 42 degrees Celsius.

It was simply that Xu Feng had been persevering with an unimaginable will.

But he just wanted to say something, like: Xufeng, you go and rest, or I'll operate the machine gun, and it'll be easier for you as the assistant gunner, etc.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he helplessly swallowed them back.

There's no way around it! Don't be fooled by Xu Feng's seemingly effortless operation of an MG general-purpose machine gun, where all he has to do is pull the trigger.

However, there are many intricacies involved in shooting accuracy, frequency, rhythm, and prioritizing targets.

If he took over, he would definitely not be able to achieve the same good results as Xu Feng; the Japanese might charge at any time.

Even without saying a word, Ah Wei felt a strange sense of guilt, feeling guilty for being too inexperienced and unable to help at such a crucial moment.

Soon after, Awei's guilt intensified.

At that moment, he noticed that the barrel of the MG34 general-purpose machine gun was getting quite hot from prolonged firing, and wondered if he should replace the magazine when it was empty.

Suddenly, Xu Feng pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

Because it was so abrupt, even though he was wearing a helmet, he was still quite dizzy after the back of his head hit the ground hard.

Before he could ask a single question, a loud explosion and shockwave occurred just a few steps away from them.

Ah Wei immediately realized that after so much time had passed, some of the Japanese regular troops had finally arrived.

He secretly hid somewhere and fired a high-explosive grenade at them with a grenade launcher; Xu Feng made this move at the crucial moment.

That was indeed the case, after Awei struggled to push Xufeng away.

To their horror, they discovered that Xu Feng's back was ripped to shreds, and his clothes on one side were mangled and bloody in many places, indicating that he had been hit by countless shrapnel.

If Xu Feng hadn't pinned him down in time, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't been killed by the explosion.

In a modern world where human relationships are cold and indifferent, Ah Wei, an ordinary person, had never received such a life-saving grace before, and his heart was filled with intense emotions.

I was stunned for two or three seconds before I came to my senses.

He prepared to take out a gauze from the medical kit at his waist and try to save Xufeng.

Unexpectedly, after enduring the initial excruciating physical pain from his injury, Xu Feng pushed Awei's arm away and shouted, "Don't worry about me! Go check if the machine gun has been damaged."

Instinctively, Awei picked up the machine gun, glanced at it quickly, and replied, "It's not broken! It still works."

With a "Okay," Xu Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then shouted again, "Leave the carbine to me, you take the machine gun and retreat to find Hu Biao and the others."

Upon hearing this, Awei was about to shout out:
"Brother, don't worry. I'll risk my life to carry you away today."

Xu Feng's curses rang out again: "Stop dawdling! I'm too badly injured. You won't live much longer even if you take me with you. The firepower of this machine gun is more important than me."

Amidst the insults, Awei remained silent.

He quickly took an M1 carbine from his left shoulder, removed the four spare magazines from his chest, picked up the MG34 general-purpose machine gun, and turned to go downstairs.

Why did he speak up? He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he, a grown man, would burst into tears.

"Dude! If we can really be resurrected after returning to the modern world, I'll cover all your foot-washing expenses for the next six months—no! For the next year! You absolutely have to live!"

As he ran, Ah Wei, the newcomer, silently prayed in his heart...

******
At the same time, when Awei turned around and went downstairs.

Xu Feng gritted his teeth and used all his strength to sit up from the ground, leaning his back against a wooden pillar to keep himself from falling.

In fact, his condition before he was injured was worse than Awei had imagined.

The fever symptoms were extremely severe, including not only the symptoms that Awei could see, but also dizziness, blurred vision, a feeling of coldness coming from the bones, and general weakness.

Therefore, he knew that his journey through time would come to an end tonight.

In tonight's special operations, no one else can carry this burden with them, nor do they want to be such a burden.

This is also the main reason why he risked his life to save Awei after discovering a high-explosive grenade and being secretly brought over by the Japanese with a grenade launcher.

Xu Feng breathed a huge sigh of relief after Awei finally agreed to leave.

If this kid is really determined to take him away, I have no choice but to commit suicide; unlike now, I can take a group of Japanese soldiers with me before I die.

With that thought in mind, he used his last bit of strength to pick up the M1 carbine beside him and opened fire on a group of Japanese soldiers who had rushed down to the ground floor and were about ten meters away.

With a series of quick clicks of his fingertips, he emptied the magazine of all ten bullets in one go.

Of the twelve or thirteen proper Japanese soldiers, seven or eight were killed on the spot.

Xu Feng didn't immediately change the magazine. Instead, he took a grenade, pulled the fuse, and instead of throwing it down the stairs in front of him, he threw it into the stairwell behind him.

Just as expected, the remaining Japanese soldiers rushed into the house and tried to kill their way up the stairs.

But just as they reached halfway up, a grenade blasted the wooden stairs to pieces, killing several Japanese soldiers in the process.

The remaining two Japanese soldiers dared not continue climbing up the stairs, but were unwilling to give up, because Xu Feng had switched to a carbine.

Thanks to their formidable marksmanship, any other Japanese battalion that charged within 100 meters was instantly killed.

In this situation, their main force was still blocked by Xu Feng; in their extreme anger, they simply set a large fire downstairs.

The wooden building was quite old, and the wood inside was extremely dry, so it soon caught fire.

Under these circumstances, Xu Feng emptied the remaining magazines of his carbine. He originally wanted to draw his pistol and continue firing, but by this point, it was already the limit of his physical strength.

When his arm was halfway raised, the pistol fell to the floor with a 'clatter'.

Weakly leaning against the wooden pillar, feeling the scorching heat of the flames below, Xu Feng, despite the biting wind blowing like a knife, revealed a bright smile on his face, which was covered in cracks.

He even muttered to himself, "Warm, so warm."

I even had a hallucination, as if I was not in the icy north, but in a foot massage parlor I frequented in C Sha City, Hunan Province.

She changed into a comfortable yukata and lay down on the soft sofa, with a fruit plate and hot tea beside her.

After the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, the door to the private room opened, and another gentle voice rang out: "Hello! Technician~"

Then, as the senior member of this time-traveling team slowly closed his eyes, he was completely dead...
