Anti war ranger

Chapter 50 Preemptive Strike
At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 13th, Lu Yuan, who had been resting in the small hotel for two consecutive days, slowly opened his eyes. In the past 4 hours, apart from eating and simple activities, Lu Yuan Just sleep.By this time, he had already nourished his energy and energy. After looking at the time on his watch, Lu Yuan stretched happily, and then slowly got out of the bed.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky had already brightened. Looking out through the window, pedestrians appeared one after another indistinctly on the road. A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, and the war he had been waiting for finally broke out.Lu Yuan didn't leave the hotel right away, but walked out of the hotel leisurely with his suitcase after having breakfast.The national army actually entered the urban area in batches as early as the early morning of the 12th, but they did not launch an attack for some reason. At the same time, the Japanese army also strengthened the defense of Hongkou District.

Lu Yuan carried his suitcase and walked on the street without looking sideways. Compared with the previous two days, there were many more heavily armed Japanese soldiers or armed patrols in the streets of Hongkou District.According to the route he had previously scouted, Lu Yuan easily arrived at the building on Sichuan North Road that he had already scouted that day. Following the back stairs of the building, Lu Yuan soon came to the roof of the building. .

Opening the suitcase, Lu Yuan took out two wooden-handled grenades and a coil of fishing line, set up two booby traps in the back stairs of the building, and then blocked the iron gate of the roof with debris from the roof , In this way, Lu Yuan, who is on the rooftop, doesn't have to worry about enemies suddenly appearing behind him.After taking defensive measures, Lu Yuan didn't take a break, and immediately changed into a thick combat uniform, and took out firearms and ammunition from the storage space.

After putting on the combat uniform, putting on the weapons and ammunition, and bouncing on the spot a few times to feel that the weapons and equipment were not uncomfortable, Lu Yuan approached the edge of the roof and raised the binoculars in his hand to observe the movements of the Japanese army.Knowing that the national army had already entered the urban area in the early morning of the 12th, the Japanese army in Shanghai sought help from countries in the concession to delay the time, and at the same time ordered the marines and foreign nationals to build street forts and various bunkers in the Japanese concession.

The binoculars in Lu Yuan's hand scanned the other directions of this intersection, and found that the Japanese army had built many barricades and stationed soldiers to guard them.Walking along North Sichuan Road where Lu Yuan is at the moment is the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps. Therefore, the Japanese army in Shanghai built the most fortifications and bunkers on this North Sichuan Road. Lu Yuan even saw no less than one place in the telescope. A semi-enclosed machine gun position made of welded steel plates.

The Japanese army used steel plates to weld together to build machine gun positions, and also used cement and sandbags to build street fortresses on the street. Lu Yuan frowned slightly. After the attack, it will be difficult to take advantage of street fighting.While Lu Yuan was meditating secretly, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the building he was in. Lu Yuan was startled, then took out a silencer and attached it to his rifle, and quickly walked towards the building where the roof was connected to the main staircase. Run to the passage door.

Lu Yuan had already blocked the back stairs with sundries and booby-traps, and the only way to reach the rooftop was the main staircase. After walking down the main staircase for less than two floors, Lu Yuan had already heard the Japanese army's attack. The movement of cowhide military shoes stepping on the stairs. After two insignificant sounds of "噗" and "噗", the lock of the door closest to Lu Yuan was smashed by a bullet, and Lu Yuan passed into the room and took out a table and placed it horizontally on the stairs.

North Sichuan Road was the focus of Japanese defense. The Japanese army not only built fortified bunkers for buildings on the street, arranged armored vehicles to patrol and guard back and forth, but also dispatched soldiers to occupy the surrounding commanding heights.Lu Yuan crouched down behind the wooden table, and the Japanese soldier walking in the front on the main stairs had already appeared in his sight. When the first Japanese soldier appeared, Lu Yuan did not shoot immediately, but Waiting until he could see the third and fourth Japanese soldiers following behind, Lu Yuan pulled the trigger.

Even if the rifle equipped with a silencer was shooting continuously in the corridor, the sound it made was not very loud, like the sound of a sharp knife piercing wet cowhide continuously sounded in the corridor, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers moving up the main stairs , It was too late to even fight back, and was continuously shot by bullets from above.Accompanied by the screams, large swaths of blood mist sprayed from the bodies of the Japanese soldiers appeared, and soon, the narrow corridor was filled with the choking smell of blood.

All the 20 bullets in a magazine were shot out. Lu Yuan, who had already stood up from behind the wooden table, had no time to change the magazine for the rifle. The pistol he had on was drawn again.Like the rifle, Lu Yuan had already installed a silencer on his pistol. Holding the pistol with the silencer installed, Lu Yuan stepped on the big pool of blood in the corridor and moved down quickly.

"Puff" "Puff" sounded like the sound of a sharp knife piercing wet cowhide in the corridor again. To be on the safe side, regardless of life or death, Lu Yuan replenished the guns for all the Japanese soldiers who fell down in the stairs.As a result of these dozen or so Japanese soldiers, Lu Yuan walked down the stairs to another floor, and then continued to set up booby traps with wooden handle grenades and fishing lines, before turning around and returning.Killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop, Lu Yuan didn't show much joy on his face, but seized the time to search for the ammunition, water, and first-aid medicine he needed from these corpses.

Lu Yuan dismissed the weapons carried by these Japanese soldiers, and only left behind a 50mm grenade grenade. As for the two Japanese light machine guns they brought, Lu Yuan did not waste them, but just talked to those three The eight rifles were put aside for the time being. More than 3000 bullets, more than 50 grenades, and 24 special grenades for grenades. These trophies made Lu Yuan laugh from ear to ear. With these things delivered to his door, Lu Yuan can guarantee that he can do well in the Japanese concession. It turned the world upside down.

Using the corpses of a dozen Japanese soldiers to form an obstacle in the corridor, Lu Yuan returned to the rooftop, but Lu Yuan who returned to the rooftop was much more careful.Through the scope on the rifle, Lu Yuan carefully observed the elevated points around him. Sure enough, Lu Yuan soon found Japanese troops appearing on the commanding heights of the surrounding buildings.Lu Yuan squatted down and opened the full-view map. The dense red dots on the map made Lu Yuan's scalp tingle, wondering how much troops the damn Japanese had deployed on Sichuan North Road.

In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know that the Japanese army's total strength in the urban area of ​​SH was not much. Before the Japanese army base camp decided to implement a large-scale landing in Shanghai, there were only more than 3000 active soldiers in the Japanese army in the entire Shanghai Japanese Concession. The Japanese Concession urgently dispatched a business group escort of more than 4000 people formed by overseas Chinese.Therefore, among the Japanese soldiers that Lu Yuan saw on Sichuan North Road at this moment, half of them were members of the merchant group guards, but they were all wearing Japanese military uniforms.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the national army troops that had already entered the urban area were finally dispatched, but the dispatch of the national army was only tentative. They proposed to fight after a little contact with the Japanese forward troops, which made Lu Yuan very anxious.I don’t know if it was because the retreat of the national army greatly increased the confidence of the Japanese army. The Japanese army, who originally planned to stick to the Japanese concession, immediately rushed out of the Japanese concession and began to build barricades and fortifications in the streets close to the Japanese concession. At the same time, there was a fierce exchange of fire with the forward troops of the national army. .

Seeing this, Lu Yuan scolded the commander of the national army for being short-sighted. This is the best time to attack the Japanese army in Shanghai. If the attack cannot be launched before the follow-up Japanese army lands in Shanghai, the national army may completely fall into the quagmire of street fighting. .Just looking at the barricades built by the Japanese army in the streets of the city, it can already show that the Japanese army is ready for street fighting, and Lu Yuan does not think that the national army can take advantage of street fighting.

"Boom" "Boom" I don't know where the artillery is firing, but the Japanese troops stationed on Sichuan North Road did not panic at all, and Lu Yuan on the roof of the building could only continue to wait, waiting for the moment when the national army troops really launched an attack.It wasn't until 2 o'clock in the afternoon that there were sporadic gunshots in the Japanese Concession. Lu Yuan was shocked, and then raised his binoculars to look around, but found that the place where the gunshots sounded was far away from him.

Didn't it mean that the Battle of Songhu started on the 13th?It was getting dark, and I didn't see any national army attacking. As time passed, Lu Yuan on the rooftop became more and more anxious. Could it be that he misremembered the time?Seeking that the street lights are already on and the large-scale attack of the national army has not yet appeared, Lu Yuan, who has wasted a day in vain, decides not to wait.

Leaving unnecessary things on the roof, Tang Cheng packed the things he wanted to take away into the storage space, and then moved to another roof along the route he had planned before, and then descended along the rope to the back alley.Moving forward along the back alley to the entrance of the alley, Lu Yuan first opened the full-view map to determine the location and approximate number of Japanese soldiers around him, then quickly rushed out of the alley to the Japanese sushi restaurant across the street.

Lu Yuan's target was not actually the sushi restaurant. There was a barricade built by the Japanese army not far from the sushi restaurant. On the full-view map that Lu Yuan had opened, it showed that there were only three Japanese soldiers inside the barricade.Perhaps the Japanese army only left three soldiers in this barricade, just for night vigilance, but these are not things that Lu Yuan needs to consider, his purpose is just to kill these three Japanese soldiers.
