Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 106 Head-to-head confrontation
Three days later, the deadline given by Zhang Dabiao arrived.

Wang Wanchun failed to prepare enough food and did not intend to sit still and wait for death.In the past three days, he took out all the remaining money at home, gathered people, and bought a lot of guns and ammunition from nearby arms dealers.

And this matter... is all under Zhang Dabiao's control.

For the nearby arms dealers, the Eighth Route Army was a big customer. They had taken the initiative to contact the Eighth Route Army as early as when they announced their return.

When Wang Wanchun contacted someone to buy arms, Eighth Route Army received the news.Even Wang Wanchun was able to buy it only after Zhang Dabiao nodded.

Buy it, no matter how much you buy, the final result will only increase the number of seizures.If you could defeat the Eighth Route Army by just buying some guns and ammunition, would the Japanese have reached this point?

"Master, the Eighth Route Army is coming! They are coming with guns!"

"Close the door tightly and shout to tell the Eighth Route Army if they need food! If they come close, shoot to scare them first." After Wang Wanchun said this, he looked at the servants and women gathered around him.

The Eighth Route Army and the Japanese were determined to bet on Wang Wanchun's life, so they naturally spread the news everywhere.The Wang family is no exception. Except for the ignorant children, everyone knows that the Eighth Route Army is going to attack the Wang family.

"Don't worry, the Japanese will definitely come. If the Japanese don't come to help me today, they will never be able to gain a foothold in this Yushe in the future!"

He said this with confidence, because Wang Deshui's letter arrived yesterday. The Japanese's intention was very clear, they wanted to protect him, and they agreed to send troops to help.

"As long as Taijun comes, everything will be fine!"

Just when everyone in the Wang family became nervous, the Eighth Route Army outside stopped their movements. Dozens of soldiers just surrounded the Wang family's house and seemed to be waiting for something.

"Is there any news from the battalion commander?"

The platoon leader responsible for watching Wang Wanchun asked the correspondent beside him eagerly.

"The battalion commander is already at war with the Japs. This group of Japs is well prepared and carries a lot of heavy weapons. The fight is very fierce and it is not easy to win."

The platoon leader patted his thigh: "Grandma, why am I left here to watch this Wang Wanchun?"

Compared with guarding a traitor in the rear, it is more interesting to fight the Japanese with real swords and guns on the battlefield.

At the same time, between Wangjiazhuang and Yushe County, the Japanese troops leaving the city and Zhang Dabiao's battalion were fighting back and forth.

After receiving the assistance of Advisor Meng, the new regiment's combat effectiveness began to soar.Everyone only knows that the new group is very strong now, but no one knows exactly how strong it is.Even Li Yunlong, who is the group leader and knows the situation best, is not quite sure about this issue.

After all, Consultant Meng gave too much.The firearms and armor are okay, you can use them as soon as you get them, and there are also shooting ranges to help train shooters.But for weapons such as grenades and mortars, soldiers rush to put them on the shelves. It’s hard to say how much power they can exert.

Therefore, Li Yunlong had already said in the meeting at the regiment headquarters that he would look for opportunities to have a head-on confrontation with the Japanese, and see what the combat effectiveness of the troops is now while controlling the losses.

No, the opportunity is here.The Japanese had already guessed that the Eighth Route Army would set up an ambush halfway, so it was naturally impossible for them to head into the ambush area without taking any precautions.Instead, the reconnaissance team cleared the way and the soldiers advanced in combat formation.

This time the Japanese searched the area very carefully and discovered the soldiers hiding outside the ambush position through several footprints, and then the battle began directly.As a group of Japanese scouts fell, the original ambush instantly turned into a head-on confrontation between the two armies.

On the hilltop on the roadside, the trenches dug by the two companies in one day were connected together. The soldiers relied on the trenches to resist the Japanese attack.

Different from previous blocking battles, this time the Eighth Route Army's trenches paid special attention to the excavation of machine gun positions.Two companies had more than fifteen machine guns scattered throughout the trench. No matter which direction the Japanese attacked from, they had to face the fire of more than three machine guns at the same time. It could be said that it was difficult to advance.

"Battal Commander, the Japanese have retreated!"

Zhang Dabiao picked up the telescope and observed the battlefield.

This is the second time the Japanese have retreated.The Japanese lost more than 20 people in the two attacks, almost two detachments.The soldiers of the first battalion suffered only a dozen casualties, four of whom were killed and the others were only slightly injured.

It can be said that the results achieved by the fighters so far are still good.Especially the soldiers of the Seventh Company can often kill the enemy from a hundred meters away. Sometimes they don't need machine guns to suppress them. A few rifles can make the Japanese unable to raise their heads.

"The comrades of the Seventh Company are so good at marksmanship. They are the ones who fight back most of the time. Those of us who are not good at marksmanship can only watch them fight."

The words of the staff officer on the side made Zhang Dabiao swallow his saliva.If the first company hadn't gone to train, he would have gotten some people from the third battalion commander no matter what.

Zhang Dabiao put down the telescope: "You ask the soldiers to withdraw to the second line of defense along the communication trench, leaving only two observation posts in front."

"Yes."

This time, a total of just over 200 Japs came, plus dozens of guards who came to see the world and observe the battle, the total number was just shy of [-].Now one-tenth of the casualties have been lost. If the Japanese still want to get over, they will definitely use heavy weapons.

According to past experience, if a position cannot be conquered by one or two waves of infantry, the Japanese will bombard it with artillery fire before letting the infantry try to attack.This is the meaning of "the infantry charges after the artillery bombardment".

After fighting the Japanese for so long, the Eighth Route Army naturally figured out the rules and came up with various ways to avoid bombardment.Digging multi-layered positions and moving and evading through traffic trenches is one of them.As long as you jump back and forth repeatedly to test and change your position frequently, it will be difficult for the artillery to cause serious damage.

"This person is just greedy. When I could only play with grenade launchers, I thought it would be great if I had mortars. Now that I play with mortars, I want the Japanese's [-]nd Infantry Cannon."

This time the Japanese were fully prepared, bringing two heavy machine guns, a Type 90 rifle, and even a Type [-] [-]mm mortar.These are all good things for the Eighth Route Army. Zhang Dabiao naturally suffered from his old disease and immediately began to think about how to get these weapons.

boom!
While he was thinking, several gunshots exploded.Zhang Dabiao raised his telescope again and saw large amounts of smoke and dust rising from the forward position.The enemy's artillery fire continued to bombard the positions, especially the several machine gun positions that had been exposed before, and they were carefully taken care of, and they all received one shell.

"The Japanese artillery fire is so accurate." Zhang Dabiao looked at the Japanese artillery in the telescope, then thought of his own artillery, and shook his head.If you want to play accurately, practice for a month or two first.

"Where's our mortar? Fire back! Blow it up hard!"
