Songhu: Never Give Up

Chapter 1: Crossing Songhu (Please read and collect)
Miaohang, the defense line of the 88th Regiment of the 527th Division, with continuous artillery fire and smoke

Yue Qianli, the platoon leader of the third company, was staring with hatred at the shit-yellow figure gradually approaching in the distance, and two words emerged in his mind - Japs?
He had just been dug out of the loose soil and had obviously not fully recovered yet. However, as a Chinese soldier of later generations, his hatred for this shit-yellow military uniform was engraved in his bones.

The only thing Yue Qianli could be sure of now was that he had traveled through time. He was overjoyed and had only one thought in his mind - fuck him first!

In the words of the angry young people of later generations, is it necessary to mobilize to fight the Japanese?
"Platoon leader, shall we fight? The Japanese are approaching us."

Yue Qianli estimated the distance of the Japanese skirmish line, which was about 150 meters. If the weapons in their hands were 191 precision rifles equipped with variable magnification optical sights;

Not to mention 150 meters, he would also order shooting at 500 meters. The effective range of the 191 precision rifle is 800 meters.

But he had an M1924 Mauser rifle in his hand. As a special warfare elite in later generations, he had no problem hitting the Japs at this distance. But if it were other Nationalist troops, they could only rely on faith to shoot - even the German-equipped divisions couldn't do it!
As the memories of the original host in his head gradually revived, he had some intuitive understanding of the battlefield environment;

They were the newly reorganized German-equipped 88th Division. This was Miaohang on the "January 1.28" Battle of Shanghai, and they were defending the entire company's forward position.

As a military fan, he knew that the so-called German-equipped division was a castrated version, excluding all three Czech light machine guns. The remaining ones were the M3 Mauser rifle, also known as the short-barreled Mauser, and a small number of C1924 Mauser military pistols.

The effective range of the short-barreled Mauser is over 500 meters, but without a scope it is useless no matter how long the range is.

"Tell the brothers to stay calm and wait until we get close before firing. Get the grenades ready!"

If he remembered correctly, the Japanese troops responsible for the attack were the 9th Division that had just landed, code-named "Wu". They were the real elite of the Japanese and were not easy to defeat.

Squad leader Mu Tiezhu could only shrink his body, then bend over and notify everyone one by one. This was the first exploratory attack by the Japanese, and not many troops were involved.

100 meters!
At this distance, the big heads of the Japanese soldiers could be clearly seen. They were arranged in a standard skirmish formation, jumping up and down like a group of monkeys, very cunning.

Yue Qianli's expression became solemn. Although the current Japs were not as good as the "Beast Division" a few years later in terms of equipment or tactics, they were not bad in training. The enemy was numerous and we were few, so this was bound to be a fierce battle.

It’s only 80 meters away!
Mu Tiezhu glanced at Yue Qianli anxiously, only to see that the platoon leader remained motionless. He could only endure it, with the bolt of the box gun in his hand already opened, waiting for the platoon leader's order.

60 meters!
The Japanese had straightened up and were ready to charge. Yue Qianli had been waiting for this moment. He decisively pulled the trigger of his rifle. A 7.92mm pointed bullet flew straight at the Japanese and accurately hit the sergeant with the plaster flag on the tip of his gun.

Perhaps to show off his marksmanship, or more importantly to boost morale, he shot at the Japanese's big head. The 7.92mm fully loaded bullet was extremely powerful, and it blew the Japanese's head apart in an instant, like a watermelon being hammered, with blood splattered everywhere, which was very stress-relieving.

"Cool!"

At the moment when he smashed the Japanese's head, every cell in Yue Qianli's body felt comfortable. This feeling is priceless.

"Tattoo..."

"Tattoo..."

There was a burst of gunfire on the battlefield. His gunshots were orders. The soldiers, who could not wait any longer, fired rows of hateful bullets at the group of Japanese soldiers, knocking down more than a dozen of them in an instant.
The remaining Japanese soldiers lay down on the ground skillfully, and some even rolled into the bomb craters, and then they spontaneously began to fight back, showing very high tactical skills.

After killing a Japanese sergeant, Yue Qianli quickly pulled the bolt to eject the bullet shell, and then pushed a new bullet into the chamber;
Although he was used to the fully automatic assault rifles of later generations and was not used to this bolt-action rifle that required pulling the trigger after each shot, he still wanted to try his best to eliminate every Japanese soldier within his sight.

This time he targeted the Japanese commander, who should be a squad leader. He held a Nambu pistol in his right hand and a standard military knife in his left hand. He was seen crouching in a bomb crater with his head shrunk like a glans, showing his cunningness as he stretched and retracted his head.

This was just a tentative attack, and Captain Hatano Jiro would not be stupid enough to charge in the face of the Chinese bullets;

This is not bravery, this is stupidity!
Second Lieutenant Hatano is from Kanazawa and belongs to the 7th Regiment of the 9th Division, also known as the Kanazawa Regiment. This is the second batch of veteran divisions organized in Japan. It once participated in the Russo-Japanese War and made a name for itself. Its combat effectiveness is said to be second only to the 2nd and 6th Divisions, and it is good at fighting tough battles.

The Hatano Squad was composed of 54 people, including three infantry squads of 3 people and one fire squad equipped with three "Ten-Year Type" grenade launchers. The infantry used Taisho 13-year type light machine guns and Type 1 bolt-action rifles, and their light weapons equipment was superior to the platoon commanded by Yue Qianli.

Second Lieutenant Hatano graduated from the Army Officer School and received formal military training since Army Elementary School. He also studied infantry command for three years in the Army Academy. He is a standard professional officer.

He deduced from the Chinese's firepower configuration that the defenders had only one platoon equipped with three machine guns, which were undoubtedly the biggest obstacle on their way forward;

To deal with the Chinese machine guns, they have special tactical weapons, namely grenade launchers, which are the first-level support firepower of the Japanese squad. Many well-trained veterans can basically hit whatever they point at.

Lieutenant Hatano used his command knife to convey an order to the grenade launcher squad leader. The grenade launcher squad moved forward quickly and began to establish a firing position.

A grenade launcher team consists of a chief shooter, deputy shooter and two ammunition handlers, equipped with a Taisho 50th-type mm grenade launcher;
This weapon is light and easy to carry. It can effectively kill exposed living targets and destroy fixed firing points without top cover. It has a maximum range of 220 meters and an effective range of 175 meters. It is almost an ultra-light mortar, but with a shorter range.

The enemy's grenade launcher position was located about 160 meters away from a row of machine gun fire points. At this distance, it was difficult for the defenders' rifles to hit them, and the machine gun fire was attracted by the enemy's machine guns, so the enemy's main shooters were somewhat fearless.
Yue Qianli, who came from the future, naturally knew the power of the Japanese grenade launcher. He originally wanted to kill Lieutenant Hatano first, but when he saw the Japanese deployed the grenade launcher, he immediately changed his target and turned his gun towards the Japanese grenade launcher's main shooter.

The main shooter of the Japanese army had just locked onto a machine gun that was roaring the loudest with the mechanical sights of the grenade launcher. A cruel smile appeared on the main shooter's mouth. As the best grenade launcher of the Hatano squad, he was confident that he could hit the target with the first shot and blow up the defenders' machine gun.

Just as he was about to open fire, he suddenly smelled a scent of death. As an old Japanese soldier who had served for more than ten years and had fought fiercely with the Volunteer Army for many years on the battlefield outside the Great Wall, his sense of smell on the battlefield was very sensitive;

At this time, he no longer cared about the defenders' machine guns, but just reflexively tried to avoid Aunt Amaterasu's call.

Unfortunately, his luck was bad this time, and he met a sniper who was ranked among the top three in the Falcon Commando in later generations;

Although he was using a "short-barreled Mauser" without a scope, it was no difficulty for him to hit the Japanese grenade thrower with half of his body exposed within 200 meters.

The hot bullet hit the devil's chest. In order to increase the chance of hitting the target, Yue Qianli did not hit his head.
After the bullet hit the Japanese, the bullet head flipped over in his chest and then blew a hole the size of a fist in his back. There was no need for rescue for such a trumpet-shaped blood hole. He just needed to report directly to Amaterasu.

"Bagayalu, there's a sharpshooter!"

Lieutenant Hatano, who had just stretched out his glans to watch the show, shrank back in fear. Even the grenade thrower behind him could be hit, let alone him.

Sergeant Mu Tiezhu looked at his platoon leader with disbelief. He had thought that this pale-faced scholar was just a pretentious person, but he did not expect that he was such a ruthless man who killed the Japanese without even blinking an eyelid.

Yue Qianli didn't seem to take it seriously, just a Japanese soldier, and immediately loaded the bullet and continued to look for targets to kill. This time he targeted the Japanese machine gunner again;
The estimated distance was more than 300 meters. The machine gunners were deployed on a protruding earth slope. Their bursts of fire were very tricky, posing a great threat to the defending riflemen. In a short while, two people were shot and fell, one dead and one injured.

Such a powerful scourge naturally could not be allowed to continue to exist, so he decisively turned his gun towards the Japanese machine gunner...
