The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 65 A Bloody Day (Part )
...For a long time, my friends and I complained that after traveling through time, we couldn't bring many supplies and equipment with us, and we didn't even have a golden finger.

That unknown mysterious existence does not allow us to change history.

So no matter what you want to do, every battle process is very difficult.

But after a long time, we gradually discovered that we can easily learn the combat experience summarized by our ancestors at countless costs on the Internet.

In a peaceful environment, the scientific and cultural knowledge we can easily access is actually the biggest golden finger after each time we travel through time...

...Excerpt from Hu Biao's diary collection "Hu Shuo"...

With the feeling that they were sure to win the battle and would soon become successful, the squadron led by the Japanese captain Shiraishi Jiro advanced very smoothly for a period of time.

The defenders on the position seemed to have been completely wiped out in the previous artillery fire, and they had not reacted at all.

So much so that at the beginning, the Empire's Type 89 medium tank would occasionally fire a shell at the position.

As a result, with mud and sand splashing everywhere and no reaction from the position, the crew even saved on the shells and stepped on the accelerator to move forward quickly.

Seeing this, Shiraishi Ji'o became even bolder.

He ordered his men, who were advancing slowly, to start jogging so as not to fall too far behind the tanks.

This situation continued until the leading Type 89 tank drove to about fifty or sixty meters in front of the position. It seemed that it could reach the position with just one step on the accelerator. The situation finally showed some changes.

It was not the defenders on the position who finally opened fire, but some anti-tank dragon teeth, which were very rare on the battlefield in the Magic City, finally appeared right in front of the tank.

That is, some triangular concrete pillars, also called anti-tank cones.

The principle is to use its conical structure to jam the tank's chassis through uneven and staggered arrangement, so that the tank loses its fulcrum and cannot drive normally.

After seeing this, Shiraishi Jiro, a graduate of Imperial University, couldn't help but look up to the commander of the opposing position.

Because he thought that the other party even knew about the anti-tank dragon tooth, so he must be an elite who graduated from Huangpu.

Unfortunately, even the elite graduates of Huangpu are still not as good as graduates of the Army University like him; because the number of those anti-tank dragon teeth is too small, they can just go around them.

The crew members on the tank probably had the same idea as Shiraishi Jiro, and it was because of this that this tank suffered a devastating disaster.

Just as he was bypassing Longya, the ground on his left side suddenly collapsed into a pit.

The pit was not too big or too deep, with a size of 6 meters x 3 meters and a depth of about 1.5 meters; but it still caused the Japanese medium tank to suffer a devastating disaster.

In a maximum of ten seconds, the tank first tilted to the left and finally overturned in the pit.

The crew members inside should be fine, but no matter how they adjusted, they could not restore the balance of the overturned tank, let alone fire at the position with tank guns and machine guns.

"Not good!" Shiraishi Jiro, who saw this scene, felt a sudden shock in his heart and felt that something was extremely wrong.

All I can say is that this little Japanese captain's premonition was absolutely correct. Their disaster has only just begun...

******
Before the Type 89 tank completely overturned, Hu Biao knew that the time to take action had come.

After holding the submachine gun horizontally, he fired two long bursts of shots at the Japanese soldiers outside the position who were briefly confused because of what happened to their tanks.

His firing was like an agreed signal; almost the next second, even more intense firepower broke out on the position.

At least more than ten light and heavy machine guns, the same number of submachine guns, and even more rifles opened fire.

The instantaneous burst of firepower gave Shiraishi Jiro an illusion that the size of the defenders on the position was far from just one company as the scout on the artillery hot air balloon said.

According to the intelligence on the equipment level of the Sichuan Army, there should be at least one regiment on this small position.

Under the horrified eyes of Shiraishi Ji'ao, dense bullets attacked the position, knocking down the imperial warriors who were at the front one by one.

The main reason was that they were no more than 60 meters away from the position at the moment, which meant that the enemy's automatic weapons had a more accurate hit rate.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen of his warriors were knocked to the ground like grass being mowed.

But what made Shiraishi Jiro even more heartbroken, or even more terrified, was that the only remaining tank, seeing the situation was not good, immediately reversed to the rear while the machine gun on it opened fire desperately to suppress the attack.

He immediately attacked a Maxim heavy machine gun on the position, and both the gunner and deputy gunner were unable to raise their heads.

But in the next second, his flank, which was exposed due to reversing, was hit by a string of machine gun bullets. The tank's backward movement and the machine gun fire suddenly stopped.

After being stunned for a second or two, Shiraishi Jiro finally reacted. The string of bullets should be steel-core bullets, which can penetrate the thin armor of the Douding tank.

Now, the people in the Douding tank might all be killed in the battle...

Even though two of his tanks were destroyed in a very short time and more than twenty of his men were killed or wounded, Shiraishi Jiro had already realized that the enemy on the position had prepared a huge trap.

However, he still did not give up, brandishing his katana and shouting like a pig slaughtering a pig: "All troops attack~"

It is said that the entire army continued to attack. The 9th Division was worthy of being the permanent division of the Japanese, and its attack was quite organized.

When a large number of Japanese soldiers charged with bayonets, they also knew to disperse as much as possible to avoid machine gun fire, and at the same time they fired back at the positions from time to time.

All the light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and other equipment in the rear also opened fire at full strength to cooperate in fire suppression.

However, the results achieved were not very good.

The main reason is that at the current distance, the Japanese veterans have no way to take advantage of their shooting advantage of being able to shoot in the head from 300 meters away.

On the contrary, the advantages of rapid-fire automatic weapons such as light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns on the position were perfectly utilized.

At that moment, many elite Japanese soldiers pulled the bolt of their guns, but before they could fire a shot, they were knocked to the ground by a volley of bullets from the position.

This was several years in advance, allowing these Japanese soldiers to experience the suppression of fierce firepower when fighting against the soldiers.

At the same time, the sniper squad led by Uncle Bo on the position also played a considerable role; one machine gunner and grenade launcher operator after another died under their guns, greatly reducing the suppressive firepower.

However, the most desperate thing for the Japanese was that many of them suffered casualties and rushed to the front of the position twenty or thirty meters at the risk of their lives.

Suddenly, a small ball of fire exploded under his feet, and a bullet shot out from the ground pierced his foot.

In fact, what they stepped on was the bullet mine set up by Hu Biao and his men last night.

The so-called bullet mine is actually very simple to explain. Hu Biao and his men dug a shallow hole in the ground, stuffed a bullet into a small bamboo tube and buried it.

There was an iron nail under the bullet, and a thin wooden board on top of the bullet head, covered with a thin layer of mud and sand.

This means that the Japanese only need to step on it with one foot, and the downward force can successfully press the iron nail to hit the primer, triggering the bullet to fly out.

Without the acceleration of the barrel, the power of the bullet will naturally be smaller, but it can still penetrate the thin wooden board and then shoot through the soles of the Japanese's feet.

After all, when cleaning up the battlefield yesterday, Hu Biao and his men seized a lot of the Japanese's 6.5mm caliber Yusaka bullets.

The penetrating power of this bullet is much stronger than that of a 7.92mm round-head bullet.

This type of bullet mine was used by the German, British, Soviet and other armies during World War II, but it became famous after being used by the monkey next door on a soldier.

Bullet mines were rarely used on the Eastern Front during World War II.

However, after Hu Biao and his team used it first today, I believe that future wars with the Japanese will be different, and more Chinese people will learn this method.

It can be considered that modern people like Hu Biao have finally given the Japanese a gift for this war.

Caught off guard, the Japanese soldiers whose soles were shot did not die immediately.

But even if they didn't fall to the ground immediately due to the sudden pain, they would become the best target and be killed by bullets on the position in an instant.

After seeing many of our own men being attacked, the remaining Japanese soldiers had no idea whether to charge forward or stay where they were.

Because they had no cover on either side, and their Type 38 rifles couldn't withstand the enemy's automatic and semi-automatic firepower, they were at a loss as to what to do...
