The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 89: Risk It All (Subscribe)
He also used extremely careful movements to put away this ordinary Songhu Battle Blood Medal.

Hu Biao then spoke to the other time travelers and introduced the details of the Gui army's counterattack in the original history.

After Sipujie spoke, these guys who were just feeling happy because they each got a 'Gansu Province Yuan Datou with added characters' and a commemorative medal, immediately became very serious.

There's no other way! With the advent of the internet, it's incredibly easy to access all kinds of information in the modern world, allowing everyone to possess far more extensive knowledge than people of this age.

However, breadth does not mean proficiency, and this knowledge is basically fragmented.

For example, during the Battle of Shanghai, the 60,000-strong Gui army launched a counterattack with bayonet charges in Luodian, Yunzaobang, and the subsequent Sihang Warehouse and Nanjing Massacre. We basically know some of these major events.

But I don't know much about some of the more detailed details.

Fortunately, before Hu Biao traveled through time, he watched some related videos while making up for his historical knowledge, and he still basically remembered the content. Now he just happened to introduce it to others.

For example: Starting from the night of the 21st, the Gui army launched multiple counterattacks against the devils in three days with a suicide squad of people as the spearhead of the army.

In this counterattack, in addition to the Gui army troops, many national army troops also participated in the battle.

The Japanese were not willing to be outdone and launched an attack almost at the same time, resulting in a rare scene of confrontation between the two sides since the Battle of Shanghai.

In order to make this counterattack successful, the bald man almost dispatched all the artillery, which was a rare generosity.

These included the artillery battalion of the General Training Corps, the Central Artillery School Training Team, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 16th artillery regiments, and the Gui army also mobilized all its artillery and almost took out all its assets.

Unfortunately, even with such full-scale firepower, we were still no match for the Japanese.

In addition to air support and naval artillery, the Japanese also had numerous artillery pieces from the division's artillery, two heavy artillery brigades, a heavy artillery regiment, and an unknown number of 305mm heavy mortars.

In comparison, the Japanese had more artillery pieces of larger caliber.

On the National Army side, some of the mountain artillery used by the Gui Army had a range of only 1200 meters, less than one-third of that of the Japanese; the Japanese positions that were a little further away could not provide fire support.

Not to mention engaging in an artillery battle with the Japanese and suppressing their artillery firepower.

In any case, in the first battle, the National Army suffered 9500 casualties in the Gui Army alone, and caused casualties to the Japanese th Division.

After the first battle, the most elite unit of the Gui army was severely damaged.

After the introduction, Hu Biao and his team developed some words of advice, hoping to persuade the big shot introduced by Director Sun and his team in a more tactful way.

In addition, Huang A'di was asked to find someone to exchange precious gold coins so that he could make a fortune after returning to the modern world.

As for borrowing money from Director Sun to subsidize the families of the soldiers of the third company, it can be said that a very detailed action plan has been formulated.

However, as the old saying goes, plans are not as fast as changes.

Hu Biao and his men soon realized that facing a battlefield where the situation was changing rapidly, their plans were useless.

******
At that time, Hu Biao and his group were walking along a relatively wide dirt road; they were only about one kilometer away from the current resettlement location of the 21st Army.

As they walked, they could see large fields of fully ripe rice on both sides of the road.

At first glance, all you see are golden rice waves, filled with a sense of satisfaction of the upcoming harvest.

But after a closer look, you can see that many rice leaves and grains have turned yellow, and even many ripe grains have fallen in the fields.

Even if the crops are harvested immediately, the yield will be reduced by at least 30% to 40%, which is a huge waste.

Why is this so? Because the farmers who worked so hard to cultivate the crops did not dare to come to harvest in order to avoid the enemy's soldiers, planes and artillery shells.

Or perhaps, they had already abandoned the land on which they depended for their livelihood, fled into the concession with their families, and lived a difficult life by selling their children.

Thinking of this, Hu Biao and the others couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

Black Star, a PLA veteran, was especially so, as he had contracted some land for cultivation in the modern dimension. Compared to other time travelers like Hu Biao, he understood better how important land and the crops grown on it were to Chinese farmers.

As long as there is a slight possibility, we will not abandon the land; when we really have to give up the land, it will feel like the sky is falling.

While I was feeling depressed, a small convoy drove out of the village where the division headquarters was located ahead.

The convoy consisted of two trucks, the cabins of which were filled with elite soldiers carrying machine guns, one in front and one behind, guarding a black car, which should be Studebaker's old antique car.

Just by looking at the appearance of such a convoy, Hu Biao and the others knew that this was definitely a trip for an important person, so they didn't dare to get angry.

They immediately retreated to the side of the road, and when the convoy was about to pass them, they all straightened their chests and stomachs and gave a standard military salute.

What they had never expected was that the convoy had passed them by a short distance when Hu Biao and the others were about to move on.

After the car honked twice, the entire convoy stopped.

A colonel got out of the co-pilot seat and shouted, "The officer leading over there is Hu Biao of the Sichuan Army, and several key officers under his command?"

"Report to the commander, I am Hu Biao from the 804th Regiment of the Sichuan Army." After hearing this, Hu Biao immediately responded.

The colonel nodded and said, "Come over here, the two officers want to see you."

Not daring to delay, Hu Biao quickly took the lead and walked towards the convoy. When he was halfway there, he saw two men with shining gold stars getting out of the car.

A second-level general and a lieutenant general, they are indeed big shots.

More importantly, Hu Biao and the others were quite familiar with these two people. It didn't take much effort to recall and realize that they should be Chen Xiuci, the big boss of the Civil Engineering Department, and Bai Jiansheng, one of the three giants of the Gui Army.

So the question is, what could be going on when these two big guys stopped these junior officers?
I think it was when the Gui army was about to launch a counterattack that these two met them while inspecting the front line, and then thought of their combat experience with the Japanese.

So I stopped them and wanted to ask them for some reference.

In a short period of time, after thinking through the above content, Hu Biao suddenly came up with a bold idea:

Damn it! Even if we find the person behind Director Sun, their status is not as high or as useful as these two. Should we directly make suggestions to them and ruin this major counterattack of the Gui army?

However, he also knew that this was playing with fire, which not only involved him personally, but would also affect several other fellow time travelers.

For this reason, he quickly glanced at his other companions.

Although they had not been together for a long time, they had already developed a tacit understanding after fighting side by side many times, and they could naturally understand what Hu Biao meant.

Everyone nodded slightly without hesitation, reaching a consensus.

Just do it, risk it! No matter if this offends these big guys, or if the mysterious being who brought them here doesn't allow it, causing some serious consequences, just go for it.

It should be noted that under normal circumstances, Hu Biao and his companions are not ignorant of the ways of the world and would definitely not be so reckless.

But there are two reasons why they still did this.

On the one hand, it's because of all the bad things that have happened recently that the bad emotions have not been vented out, but have accumulated in their hearts.

These modern people, who have never suffered such humiliation, have a volcano in their hearts that is about to erupt.

Now that they have encountered two big bosses, Chen Xiuci and Bai Jiansheng, their final outburst is just a natural result.

On the other hand, they still have a way out.

Even if I angered these two bosses and was shot by them, what would it matter? It would just be a resurrection in the modern plane; that way I wouldn't have to witness the subsequent tragedies and get upset...
