Compared with the prosperity and bright lights along the Suzhou Creek in later generations, the Suzhou Creek at this moment is still a prosperous area. The only thing that is lacking is perhaps the limited power supply in this era, so that in some places it is pitch black at night.

Hu Biao, who dived into the Suzhou Creek and went downstream, swam all the way to the bend of the river section to confirm that there was nothing unusual around him, and then chose to find a place to go ashore. When he swam earlier, Hu Biao also heard an explosion in the river in the distance.

Not surprisingly, the explosion trap laid before leaving still worked. With the detonation of the fuel tank of the river gunboat, it is believed that the Japanese river gunboat that was blown up by him will also sink in the Suzhou River.

In fact, not long after Hu Biao left, the Japanese troops, who had been ordered to rush to support, saw that the bombed gunboats were silent, and they felt that something was wrong. In the eyes of the Japanese reinforcements, even if the ships were bombed, there should be surviving soldiers.

The Japanese commander, who rushed to reinforce the army, immediately ordered: "Send soldiers, board the ship to check the situation!" ”

When several Japanese soldiers successfully boarded the gunboat that had lost power, and saw the corpses lying on the boat, some experienced soldiers immediately said: "Alert!" Of these warriors, only a few were killed! ”

The Japanese soldiers who had seen the wounds of the fallen little devils were worried that there was an ambush on the ship, so they immediately made a vigilant posture. After some searching, it was finally confirmed that all the officers and men on board had been shattered, and the attackers had disappeared.

The Japanese soldier Shaozo, who heard the report, said in disbelief: "What about it? Our warriors were killed at close range? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency! Based on our examination of the warriors' wounds, they should have engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their enemies before they died. Unfortunately, we found no trace of the attackers on board. ”

"Impossible! How could the level of white-knuckle combat of the Chinese army be the opponent of our imperial warriors? ”

The Japanese soldier Shaozo, who was unwilling to admit this reality, finally decided to go on the ship to check the scene in person. Just when this Shao Zuo turned over the corpse, he unfortunately triggered the trick mine that Hu Biao had laid in advance. By the time Shaozo realized the crisis, it was already too late.

An ensign standing next to Shao Zuo said very loyally: "Shao Zuo, danger! ”

Before Shao Zuo could react, the second lieutenant threw Shao Zuo down with all his might. When Shao Zuo reacted, there was also a violent explosion around him. Knowing that the second lieutenant threw himself down was the young man who saved him, his heart naturally seemed very moved.

But the moving was not over, and just after pushing away the body of the ensign who was pounced on him, there were several loud explosions. When the last explosion sounded, the entire river gunboat instantly turned into a fireball, and even quickly leaked and sank rapidly.

The support boat, which was not far away, was also shocked by the sudden explosion. When the soldiers on the ship realized that their commander Shaozuo was still on the ship that exploded, the little devils on the supporting ship were completely panicked.

"Quick! Board the ship immediately and make sure to ensure Shaozo's safety! ”

It turned out to be a pity, and when the little devil of the support ship boarded the river gunboat that was about to sink, he only had time to retrieve the body of Shao Zuo, who was killed and disfigured by the explosion. The little devils who boarded the ship with Shaozuo before were all killed without exception.

If Hu Biao knew that the mine he laid killed a Japanese soldier, he would probably feel very honored. But for Hu Biao at this moment, he still didn't have much interest in what happened to the little devil in the river.

Previously soaked in the river water, although Hu Biao felt that the river water was very icy, he adapted to it after a long time. Now that Leng Buding has come ashore, Hu Biao quickly felt that his body temperature was dropping rapidly. The military uniform I wore before, I was afraid that it would be colder when I wore it.

"Damn, it's so cold this hell! Forget it, it's better to get wet than to go ashore naked. Hold on a little longer, and then look for warm clothes later. Earlier on the boat, I forgot to pick up a few little devils' clothes, a mistake, a mistake! ”

Hu Biao, who didn't want to go ashore naked, finally took out the previously soaked military uniform and put it back on his body. Feeling trembling all over, Hu Biao also quickly left the river, planning to go nearby to reconnoiter the situation.

According to the memories of the predecessor received, Hu Biao knew very well that the predecessor did not know much about the situation here. As a big-headed soldier, Hu Biao had also participated in several bloody battles in the first battalion before. As for the surrounding situation, naturally I don't know anything.

Fortunately, Hu Biao at this moment is not in the mood to understand the environment he is in, and what he is most concerned about is to find clothes to keep out the cold. If he can't find clean and warm clothes, Hu Biao is also worried about getting sick and catching a cold.

In these days, it is also very dangerous to get sick and cold, and in the era of lack of medical treatment, a small cold can kill people. Thinking of being a traverser, Hu Biao also felt that he was really embarrassed at this moment!

"Damn, it's too far away, and you can't even see a ghost in this ghost place. Forget it, let's go to a place with a house first! ”

Knowing that it was already midnight at this time, many ordinary people fell asleep. In addition, it is located on the Suzhou Creek, and the sound of gunfire coming from across the river can also be heard by people who want to live here.

In the era of war and chaos, people who run out and wander around without sleep in the middle of the night are either idle eggs or have ulterior motives. Therefore, it is really not easy for Hu Biao to quickly find someone to wear.

Thankfully, Hu Biao, who had not traveled far, finally saw the village in front of him. Judging from the architectural style of those houses, Hu Biao felt that this should be the edge of the concession, and the people who lived here should not be wealthy.

This also means that Hu Biao is still a little far away from the place where the warehouse defenders cross the bridge. In this way, as long as you change the military uniform on your body, you can mix in with ordinary people and slowly inquire about the follow-up news of the troops.

For Hu Biao, as a traverser, he must also know something about the history of the Anti-Japanese War that lasted for eight years. The only pity is that Hu Biao doesn't know much about the historical process.

Fortunately, Hu Biao never thought about traveling to this time and space to do something to save the country and save the people. As a traverser, Hu Biao feels that the first thing to consider is to survive in this troubled world.

As for fighting little devils, it is naturally indispensable. Because Hu Biao felt that this might be the only mission that God sent him to this time and space. As for other more things, Hu Biao will not think too much.

After entering the silent village, Hu Biao still seemed very careful, with the help of the shadowy starlight, searching for much-needed clothes. To Hu Biao's delight, under the eaves not far away, he really found clothes confiscated by others.

Carefully touched it, looked around to confirm that there was no one, the owner of the house should also be asleep, Hu Biao hurriedly took off the clothes under the eaves. Although the clothes look a little torn, for Hu Biao at this moment, this is a life-saving warm clothes!

Finding a dark corner, Hu Biao took off his wet and dry military uniform and changed into clothes that were also a little cold. To Hu Biao's delight, after wrapping in these clothes, the originally cold body is slowly becoming warmer.

"Shame on the dead! The dignified traverser actually did the act of stealing clothes. If it were a little later, it is estimated that I, the traverser, might be frozen to death. When you have the chance, you need to prepare a few more sets of clothes! ”

Feeling that the temperature of his body was slowly rising, Hu Biao, who did not throw away his wet military uniform, still despised his behavior of stealing clothes. No matter how despised and embarrassed you are, it's better than being frozen to death!

After changing the stolen clothes, Hu Biao felt that this dress was a little small, and he was panicked when he wore it. Fortunately, although it is uncomfortable to wear such tight clothes, the effect of keeping warm is still very good.

Thinking that it was not easy for ordinary people to live in these years, before leaving, Hu Biao still took out two pieces of ocean from his body and stuffed them into the crack of the door. When the owner of the house gets up tomorrow, he should know that these two oceans are the money he 'bought' clothes.

Accepting the memory of the host, Hu Biao knew that the purchasing power of the two oceans in the first few years was still very strong. As a sergeant, Hu Biao did not save much money after three years in the army. In fact, there are not many times when you actually receive full pay.

Before entering the Sixing warehouse this time, Hu Biao really got the military salary he deserved. A military salary of ten oceans per month is not a low income in this era. The problem is, these ten oceans are not so easy to take!

In the Battle of Songhu alone, the soldiers of Hu Biao's machine gun company changed several times. The vast majority of the veterans who had been brought into the battlefield earlier were killed. Most of the soldiers who were replenished later did not have a long training time.

What is the use of a person who dies, even if he receives a full salary? For veterans of this era, they would rather receive an inadequate monthly salary than a full salary or an additional reward.

Once these salaries are received, it often means that the next battle will be extremely brutal. Many of them may not make it out of the battlefield alive. Perhaps because of this, many veterans do not save money.

When it comes to fighting tough battles or forming death squads, giving money has become a magic weapon for many officers to motivate soldiers. But for a real veteran, if given a choice, who would want this kind of money that is destined to be taken but not spent?
