My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 191 The Guerrillas Are Fierce!
Jinzhong Basin.

Yunjia Town.

River crossing stronghold.

"Is this the territory that the locust army opened up for the locust?"

The team leader, Warrant Officer Akagi, after completing his daily patrol, stood at the lookout point of the stronghold, wielding a samurai sword, leaning on the searchlight, looking around the fertile Jinzhong Basin with greedy eyes.

Warrant Officer Akagi was born in a remote mountain village in Hokkaido. His family was poor since he was a child, and his living environment was so cold that he had a stubborn urge for good land.

"It is said that compared with this Jinzhong Basin, the land in the west is more fertile and rich."

Warrant Officer Akagi looked towards the mouth of the Yellow River:
"And there, most of them have been occupied by the empire and become the land under the command of the locust."

"And, in the South..."

Then, he looked to the south, that is, the plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the greedy light in his eyes became more and more intense:
"Over there is the most prosperous land in this city."

"These··"

Taking a deep breath, and clenched the samurai sword in his hand, Warrant Officer Akagi felt a rush of pride in his heart.

Such a vast and fertile land should be occupied by the empire and ruled by the locusts, instead of being handed over to stupid people.

He must defend this developed territory for the locust and the empire, and prevent the guerrillas from destroying it.

Even if the jade is broken in the end, the soul will return to the Jiuduanban.

Just at this time,

"Da da da··"

Harsh gunshots came from a distance.

"Enemy attack?"

Warrant Officer Akagi quickly put away his samurai sword, took out his binoculars and looked into the distance.

The eyes are dignified.

Three days ago, an order from the First Army Command:
The guerrillas have recently obtained a batch of advanced weapons and ammunition materials. It is necessary to strengthen the police, increase vigilance, and deal with guerrilla attacks cautiously.

Warrant Officer Akagi attached great importance to the warning from the First Army Command.

It is absolutely necessary to take it seriously to allow the Front Army Command to issue orders directly to each stronghold.

Although the locust army of the Great Japanese Empire is invincible, the spirit of Bushido is as sharp and tough as the katana in his hand, and his team is also a long-lasting battlefield, but the locust army is not invincible.

Over the past few years, tens of thousands of locusts have been crushed on this fertile land due to negligence.

Therefore, in the past three days, he personally led the patrol every time, and maintained his combat readiness and vigilance during the patrol, which was at the same level as the previous raids on the Tubalu base.

Even more vigilant.

of course,

Although the enemy's strength has increased, his will to guard this fertile land for the locust has not flinched in the slightest.

"madness!"

Looking in the direction of the gunshots, Warrant Officer Akagi sneered.

The weapons of the guerrillas have improved, and their strength has increased a lot.

It's not just a reminder from the headquarters - he also fought Tubalu a few months ago.

Compared with last year, the strength has indeed increased greatly.

A year ago, Warrant Officer Akagi dared to lead a direct charge in the face of the Tuba Road, which was ten times larger than himself, but now, if the Tuba Road's force was about twice that of the Locust Army, he would hesitate.

Warrant Officer Akagi was most worried about being attacked by the Tuba Road during his patrol.

With mental arithmetic and unintentional, coupled with the disadvantages of terrain and troops, even if his team wins in the end, it will inevitably be a miserable victory.

But now, his team has returned to Hedu stronghold.

The walls of the Hedu stronghold are strong enough to resist machine gun shooting. There are barbed wire fences around it, foxholes, trenches, ring forts, machine gun bunkers, and well-designed firepower nets.

"What do they want?"

Curious, Warrant Officer Akagi raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the gunshots.

Warrant Officer Akagi quickly found the target.

In the double elliptical field of vision, at a distance of about 150 meters from the outer positions of the Hedu stronghold, four men in Tuba Army uniforms were hiding in haystacks and piles of rubble, and launched an attack against the checkpoint set up by the Hedu stronghold on the highway. Offensive.

These four people had a machine gun, a machine gun, and two Mauser pistols. The four of them attacked the highway checkpoint skillfully and in harmony.

In the past, this kind of weapon was only equipped with a small amount of elite guerrillas or the main force of the Tuba Road, and it was necessary to save ammunition during the battle.But now, the guerrillas who attacked sporadically were all equipped, and the firepower was fully utilized during the offensive.

From this point of view, the enemy's strength has indeed increased a lot.

"Sound from east to west?"

"Or lure the enemy deep?"

Squinting his eyes, Warrant Officer Akagi judged the possible purpose of the guerrillas.

The troops he deployed at the road checkpoint were not many, only two of the Locust Army were in charge of supervision, and five members of the Royal Association Army were in charge of inspection, all armed with rifles.Combat power is very poor.

The position is also a simple sandbag position, and the surrounding area lacks natural bunkers.

Although the guerrillas consisted of only four men, they had enough machine guns and automatic firearms to take down the checkpoint.

Now he has two options.

Either send reinforcements to reinforce the road checkpoint, and encircle and annihilate the four guerrillas, or let the garrison at the road checkpoint retreat and retreat into the stronghold position.

However, a mere highway checkpoint cannot be the purpose of Tuba Road, and there must be a next step plan.

Although the superiors told them to be careful, but...

"Squad [-], support the checkpoint immediately."

Warrant Officer Akagi dispatched a detachment of locust troops without hesitation.

No matter what follow-up actions Tuba Road has, there is nothing to be afraid of.

A small team of more than 50 locust troops was stationed at the Hedu stronghold, and the reserve force was sufficient.

Sufficient ammunition is available.

The road checkpoint is only more than 100 meters away from the edge of the stronghold, and there is a preset retreat channel. Moreover, the brigade headquarters is less than five kilometers away.

Because of the warning order issued by the headquarters, the cavalry squadron belonging to the brigade headquarters has been on alert, and it only takes up to 10 minutes to reach the Hedu stronghold.

Unless it is a unit at the level of the Tuba Road Main Regiment, his Hedu stronghold is absolutely safe.

However, the Hedu stronghold is in the core area of ​​the Jinzhong Basin. Can the troops at the main regiment level enter the hinterland of the Jinzhong Basin without being discovered?

This is the occupied area where the locust army is heavily assembled!
Following the order of Warrant Officer Akagi, a detachment, that is, a squad, a dozen devils quickly set off to reinforce the road checkpoint.

···
"Devil reinforcements are dispatched!"

On a hill outside the Hedu stronghold, a platoon leader holding a telescope looked at the Hedu stronghold in the distance, grinning slightly.

"It's only one class!"

On the side, the deputy platoon leader looked at the dozen or so devils who came out, and tsk tsk tsk with some regret.

As someone who participated in the battle of Yangcun and experienced big scenes, seeing a dozen or so devils here made him feel uncomfortable.

"There's only one squad of devils here, how much more do you want?"

"We're just in one row this time."

The platoon leader pouted, and then ordered:

"Fire!"

Following the order of the platoon leader, when a dozen devil reinforcements walked out of the Hedu stronghold and approached the highway checkpoint where the battle was taking place, four Eighth Route Army soldiers armed with grenadiers suddenly rushed out, each followed by an ammunitionist.

Immediately afterwards, more than 150 [-]-caliber grenade grenades flew towards the devil queue.

The grenadier is essentially an ultralight mortar.

Although the accuracy is lower than that of the mortar and the operation requirements are higher, the essence of the mortar is to be used for intensive firepower coverage, and accuracy is not a priority.

That's why the little devil has a tight life, so he asks for accurate hits from the grenade.

More than a hundred grenades fell, no matter how large the spread was, they would cover all the dozen or so devils who were supporting them.

The devil commander at the Hedu stronghold reacted quickly, and quickly lay down to find cover before the grenade fell. However, due to the flat terrain and lack of effective cover, two devils were still killed on the spot and three were injured.

One round of coverage, nearly half of the direct casualties.

After covering, the eight Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly retreated without giving the devils time to fight back.

···
"The grenade!"

At the top of the Hedu stronghold, Warrant Officer Akagi was taken aback.

He had thought that the Tuba Road guerrillas would have a backup, but the coverage of such a violent grenade grenade fire was still far beyond his estimation.

Even imagination.

In one wave, more than a hundred grenade grenades were fired in less than a minute. This number was comparable to the grenade grenades in his team's reserves.

The improvement of Tubalu's weapons and equipment was also beyond his imagination.

They have caught up with or even slightly surpassed the locust army!

Although it is at the squad level.

And judging from the spread of the grenades, they accurately hit the surrounding area of ​​the first team. Obviously, the guerrillas of the grenade are all masters, and their shooting skills are not inferior to those of the grenade operators in his team.

Because of the distance, although he didn't know the specific casualties of the support team, they would definitely not be low.

Because it is too dense!

The formation of the locust army that reinforces the highway checkpoint is too dense.

"idiot!"

"The second team, the third team from the two wings..."

"Notify the captain that the Hedu stronghold has been attacked by the main force of the Tuba Road, and ask for tactical guidance."

Panicked and incompetent, Warrant Officer Akagi asked the brigade for help while ordering the second unit to attack the Tuba Road grenade position.

Although Tubalu only showed up with 12 people, but with four grenadiers, the firepower was stronger than his team.

His team is only three.

As the news of the call for help came along the telephone line, and the news from the brigade that the cavalry squadron and the first squadron were dispatched for support, Warrant Officer Akagi became excited again.

There was a bloodthirsty light in the pupils.

His team has already suffered a lot of losses, but none of these offensive Tubalu can escape.

The cavalry squadron of the brigade has been surrounded in three ways to cut off the retreat route. The first infantry squadron will also take a car and can reach the Hedu stronghold within four to ten minutes.

The next thing he has to do is to contain these dirt roads.

Even if the weapons and equipment are similar to those of the Locust Army?
He wants Tubalu to know that the strength of the locust army is not only due to weapons and equipment,

···
"On the left, I found a class of devils!, coordinates..."

"On the right, I found a class of devils!, coordinates..."

On the mountain bag directly in front of the stronghold, a soldier holding a walkie-talkie for an individual soldier quickly conveyed to the platoon leader after hearing the report from the reconnaissance points on both wings:

"Report, the devils are outflanking from both wings, the position..."

At the same time, a soldier has drawn the scout coordinates on the map.

"Keep watching!"

The platoon leader quickly walked to the map spread out on the ground, looked at the position surrounded by the devil's wings, and snorted coldly.

"You little devil has something!"

The deputy platoon leader on the side clicked his tongue and gave a compliment.

I have to admit that there is something about the commanding ability of the devil's grassroots officers.

Although the Japanese dispatched two squads to outflank them hastily, they chose their positions and routes very cleverly. If he wanted to shoot the grenadier squad to suppress them, because of the range, the time was too late, and there were still [-] caliber grenades and hand grenades. , the effect is also poor.

"That's it."

The platoon leader curled his lips in disdain.

In the past, he would be amazed and amazed that the devil's command is really good, but now... these things are recorded in the textbook that Captain Li got.

Devils are nothing more than systematic training, and now, they have it too.

Moreover, they don't just have grenades in their hands.

"Order Mortar..."

Following the platoon leader's order, the rear, two new 60 mortars lifted their camouflage.
