The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 152: Counterattack (Updated 11/11 for the Color Shadow Master)

At 10:55, the battle at the warehouse this morning had already entered the fifth attack by the Japanese.

And there was not even five minutes between the fourth and fifth attacks.

It was the Second Battalion of the Japanese Demon City Special Marine Corps that retreated due to heavy casualties and low morale, and the Third Battalion launched an attack under the command of Okawachi.

The defenders in the warehouse didn't even have time to catch their breath.

In the continuous and experienced bursts of shooting, he quickly used up the magazine in the first possible moment.

Black Star hurriedly shouted "Move" and rushed to the next backup firing position with the Czech light machine gun with a scorching barrel.

There's nothing we can do! The old Japanese soldiers are really good at shooting, and there are so many of them.

Even Uncle Bo and the others have tried their best to kill those threatening sharpshooters one by one in advance.

However, if the Black Stars and other important firepower stayed in a firing position for a little longer, the Japanese would be able to accurately fire bullets through the narrow firing holes, killing or injuring the people inside.

Regarding this point, the main shooters of the 524th Regiment's light and heavy machine guns have almost been replaced, which can be clearly reflected.

So even though Black Star knew that the battle was fierce right now, the defenders were in urgent need of machine gun firepower to suppress the advancing Japanese.

He also had to quickly load a magazine and then move decisively.

Staying behind just to fire an extra burst of bullets could be fatal.

With swift steps, Black Star quickly rushed to a window and took a spare magazine from Zhu Dashan, a defeated soldier of the Northeast Army who was acting as the auxiliary shooter, and replaced it with a "click".

Then, after exchanging a glance with Zhu Dashan, the two of them stood up at the same time in tacit understanding.

After Black Star stood up, he quickly found a new target. At his current 10 o'clock position, a Japanese team was setting up a Type 96 light machine gun.

He opened fire again, and with precise continuous bursts of fire, Black Star knocked down the main and deputy gunners of the Type 96 light machine gun, as well as a Japanese sergeant who was directing the firing, a total of three people, to the ground.

Zhu Dashan is worthy of being a warrant officer who was promoted from a veteran step by step based on his military exploits and has considerable combat experience.

Even if he is not as good as a dead fish as a secondary shooter, he is not much worse.

While Black Star was firing, he carefully observed the battlefield. Finding targets was only one aspect of the situation; his main role was to observe existing threats. If Black Star, the main shooter, was in danger, he would take action immediately.

Because of this, he soon saved Black Star's life.

At that time, Black Star had not had time to fire all the twenty bullets in his magazine.

Zhu Dashan saw that only thirty or forty meters away, a Japanese soldier raised a Type 38 rifle towards him, seemingly ready to pull the trigger.

In his haste, he didn't even have time to speak, and subconsciously pushed Black Star away with his shoulder.

Then, before he could dodge, the Japanese soldier opened fire and a bullet hit him in the chest.

These fleeing soldiers did not have DIY bulletproof plates on them, so Zhu Dashan collapsed to the ground with his whole body limp; he didn't know which organ was hit, and his face was full of unspeakable pain.

Speaking of which! Ever since Black Star traveled here last time, he has become the primary shooter of a light machine gun.

In too many battles, the number of assistant shooters killed or injured beside him has already reached double digits; after seeing so much, he thinks he has a big heart.

If the deputy shooter was killed in battle again, he would just shout "Another deputy shooter" and continue to fire.

However, this was the first time Black Star had encountered a situation where his life was saved by the secondary shooter, so naturally he was far from his usual calmness.

More importantly, after Zhu Dashan fell to the ground, he grabbed the hem of Black Star's uniform. Even though blood was constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, he still stared at him intently and said with difficulty:

"Brother Black Star, I'm not a coward, and our brothers in the Northeast Army are not cowards either.

I deserted with two of my brothers, simply wanting to return to my home in Northeast China, kowtow to my parents, and visit my wife and children.

Hearing this, a strange thought suddenly arose in Black Star's mind:

If I hadn't said those words to Zhu Dashan and the other defeated soldiers last night, and even wanted to shoot them, wouldn't these people have died?
Will Zhu Dashan still have the chance to return to that piece of black land alive and see his parents, wife and children?

After thinking about this, Hei Xing instinctively took out a ball of gauze from the first aid kit on his waist and applied pressure to Zhu Dashan's wound. However, Hei Xing became like a rookie and was at a loss as to what to do.

He could only mechanically say: "I know, I was wrong before; you are not a coward, the brothers of the Northeast Army are also great..."******
At the same time, after firing all the bullets from his 20-shot revolver, Hu Biao glanced at the Japanese who were already in a clear state of decline, and suddenly a bold idea emerged in his mind:

Counterattack and catch the Japanese off guard.

However, he also knew that given his current position and status, such an order should not come from him, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble after the war.

So he lowered his head, picked up the Zhongzheng rifle of a brother who died in battle, and while attaching the bayonet, he shouted:
"Thank you, Captain. This is a great opportunity. Blow the charge."

After hearing this, Captain Xie, who was holding an MP28 submachine gun and had joined the battle at some point, was obviously stunned for a moment.

But after he came to his senses, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes! Although their mission was to defend the Sihang Warehouse, who stipulated that they could not launch a counterattack and could only wait for the Japanese to attack again and again?

Counterattack is the best defense. The Japanese will suffer a great loss if they are caught off guard.

Then, Captain Xie immediately turned around and shouted to an orderly who had been following him not far away: "Blow the horn, blow the charge horn!"

There is no doubt that the National Army also has a tradition of using bugles to command battles, and naturally they also have "charge bugles", but the rhythm is slightly different from that of our army.

Soon after, the orderly raised the bugle, took a deep breath and began to blow the charge.

At the loud sound of the bugle call, the Kuomintang brothers instinctively froze for a moment, then immediately jumped up and started a counterattack.

The expression on his face showed an indescribable sense of relief after being suppressed for so long.

The same situation applies to time travelers such as Hu Biao and Hei Xing.

Among them, Hu Biao reacted the fastest. He rushed out first with a rifle with a bayonet. Seeing this, a Japanese soldier in front of him also came forward with a bayonet, and a one-on-one hand-to-hand combat started.

Without any hesitation, Hu Biao took a bow stance and thrust the bayonet in his hand like lightning.

Even though he didn't know, he would receive rewards from that mysterious existence every time he traveled back in time.

But of course he was very clear about his own physical condition.

During the one-month rest period after his last time traveling, especially in the second half of the month, he clearly discovered that his physical strength, power, speed, and reaction had greatly improved.

Therefore, this guy was quite confident and believed that the two of them would stab each other with bayonets.

My movements must be as fast as a step, which is this guy's biggest reliance at the moment.

Sure enough, Hu Biao was the first to stab the opponent's lower abdomen with his bayonet. Feeling the pain, the bayonet in the devil's hand immediately slowed down, and the devil easily dodged it.

After pulling out the bayonet, Hu Biao continued to rush forward.

After hearing the charge, Black Star grabbed a medic running by and shouted, "Save him! You must save him, or I'll kill you."

Then he drew the shotgun from his waist and ran downstairs from the third floor.

Halfway up the stairs, he took a big leap, just to save some time and rush to the front as quickly as possible, killing a few more Japanese soldiers and venting the anger that seemed to be burning in his heart.

No! This means that not all people in the warehouse participated in the charge.

Apart from the seriously wounded, snipers like Uncle Bo had already entered the highest firing rate, focusing on killing the Japanese machine gunners one by one to avoid huge casualties when Hu Biao and others charged.

There are also wounded soldiers like Mo Shuiyan, whose calf was hit by grenade shrapnel.

Now he was only hastily bandaged and had no surgery to remove the shrapnel. How could he charge forward with a limp?

Fortunately, even so, the Japanese side never expected that the defenders would launch a counterattack.

They were already in a clear decline due to heavy casualties caused by their failure to capture the city, and inevitably suffered a serious defeat.

Hu Biao and his men chased them for several miles, even rushing into a temporary camp for the wounded, before they stopped chasing.

Before retreating and returning to the warehouse, Black Star took out a grenade and threw it at the wounded Japanese soldiers; everyone who reacted also opened fire in unison, sending more than a hundred wounded Japanese soldiers to their deaths.

This is the devil who brought some weapons and ammunition, as well as the devil...
