Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 115 Outsmarting the Transport Team

"District Chief, you are finally here. We only have ten bullets. Every time a gun is fired, the Japanese will send a detachment to drive us away."

"We both fired all the bullets, and we didn't hold the Japs back for long. District Chief, please punish us both."

When soldiers from the Ninth Company and the District Team arrived, they first encountered two militiamen responsible for intercepting.And their target, the Japanese transport team, has already moved forward three or four miles.

It is extremely difficult for two people to hold down a small group of Japs with ten bullets.Unless the enemy's marching route can be known in advance, various traps and mines are arranged.Otherwise, I really look down on the Japanese.

"What shall I punish you for? Go get ten more rounds of bullets. There will be a battle later." District Commander Zhao drove the two away with a smile, and then looked at the ninth company commander of the new regiment beside him: "Captain Wang, your combat experience Rich, I’ll leave this battle to your command!”

"Okay, you're welcome." Captain Wang laughed: "However, the equipment of the district team is too poor, and it is really a bit of a disadvantage to fight against the Japanese. So I plan to let the ninth company chew the hard bones, and the district team is responsible for intercepting The Japanese’s rout. Do you see it?”

"Don't worry, Captain Wang. I'm not a pushy person. I understand."

"That's good." Captain Wang felt relieved and observed the surrounding terrain: "The district team can go to that location. I plan to take action here. First, disperse the Japanese troops, and then defeat them one by one..."

………………

On the other side, the Japanese soldiers walked safely for several miles without being harassed by the militiamen, and felt quite relaxed.

"Xinxi, it seems that this group of Eighth Route Militiamen have run out of bullets, and the road ahead should be much smoother! But don't let your guard down, you still have to be careful."

The squad leader and several squad captains gathered together and were talking.

"Captain, don't worry. Except for the new group, the rest of the Eighth Route Army are still as poor and there is nothing to fear!"

"Actually, it's a little different. In the past, it was three guns and eight guns. The two militiamen just fired eight or nine bullets, right? From now on, it will be called four guns and eight guns. Hahahahaha..."

Several squad leaders laughed.In their view, hiding and harassing people is not considered a tactic, but a last resort choice for the weak.This in itself shows the power of the imperial army.

"You guys..." The team leader shook his head, and then he laughed too.

Looking down on the Eighth Route Army is not just the opinion of a few people, but the consensus of all Japanese.Not only these low-level officers, but even the senior officers who sit in the headquarters office and claim to be "sober" also have this ideological stamp.

Snapped!
There was another gunshot in the distance, and the bullet hit directly at the squad leader's feet. The stirred up soil and rocks brushed against the squad leader's trouser legs.The squad leader lowered his head and looked at the bullet holes at his feet. He felt that his blood had stopped flowing and he felt cold all over.

The next moment, the team leader squatted directly behind the cart and moved forward with the cart.He also raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the bullet, and screamed: "There! Go and search!"

A squad leader stood up directly: "Follow me!"

A dozen Japanese soldiers left the transport team and headed toward the location of the gunfire.The squad leader is his immediate boss, so he can't be coaxed.Even if he knew that the search would probably be fruitless, he still had to pretend to be serious.

Of course, if you are pretending, you are just pretending, and if you are not serious, you are not serious.The little devil, who had experienced several unsuccessful attempts, really had little enthusiasm. Even the most basic battle formation had been deformed. The distance between people had been reduced to less than three meters, making it easier for them to chat in low voices.

"This group of Eight Route Army soldiers is really hateful. If he fires a shot here, a detachment of us will follow him, search over the mountains and ridges, and then catch up with the transport team..."

"Oh, it's not like those useless officers of theirs have no choice but to drive us all over the mountains and plains."

A few little devils complained, their eyes swept into the distance, and then fell on their teammates.In addition, the soldiers of the new regiment were wearing camouflage uniforms, and they were completely unaware that a platoon of soldiers was staring at them more than 100 meters away.

"Okay, okay, these Japs are so courageous. Do they really treat war as an outing?" The platoon leader shook his head and gave the order: "In half a minute, number the Japs. Make sure that each Japs gets two shots. Gun!" "Three, two, one - hit!"

There are more than 40 soldiers in a platoon and three machine guns.There are only 13 Japs in this unit, and there is no reinforcement of the grenade group.This means that every devil has at least two guns aimed at his head, and the distance is within a hundred meters.

Almost at the same time as the gunshots were fired, most of the Japanese soldiers in this unit fell.The squad leader and the machine gun crew were the key targets. They were targeted by two machine gunners and shot directly. The death was a complete loss.

"Enemy attack!"

The remaining Japs reacted quickly and immediately rushed towards a nearby place that could be used as a bunker.But at this time, the distance was only about 70 meters. A dozen soldiers jumped out of the bunker, advanced dozens of meters, and then threw a round of grenades at the place where the four or five Japanese soldiers disappeared.

boom!
The platoon leader stood up and inserted the shell gun into the gun case on his waist.The battle has ended here.

…………

As soon as intensive gunfire rang out from the Japs squad, the Japs squad leader on the mountain road realized something was wrong.

"Such intensive gunfire, is this a premeditated ambush?!" The squad leader reacted immediately. The Eighth Route Army took advantage of their underestimation of the enemy and staged a beautiful ambush.

At this moment, that small team must be in danger.

"Stop advancing! Defend, defend!" the squad leader shouted loudly.

Thinking of the advancing speed of the transport team and the marching speed of the Eighth Route Army in the mountainous area, the team leader immediately realized that he could not escape.

If Balu didn't lose his confidence, he would definitely continue to make cold shots on the road and consume him.If Balu is sure of eating him, then since he can't escape, it's better to prioritize defense.Maybe we can hold on a little longer and wait for reinforcements from the county.

After all, there is a pseudo-legion in the county now, and there is still no shortage of troops. They will definitely dare to go out of the city to fight.

But as soon as he finished speaking, fire burst out in front of him.

There were more than 20 large vehicles, each with a mule and two Japanese soldiers, and the team was very long.Three rifle grenades fell on the Japanese transport team almost at the same time, blowing up the two vehicles at the back and blowing up a few Japanese soldiers nearby.

Almost at the same time, nearly a hundred guns that had been aimed at the transport team also spit out tongues of fire.In particular, the seven machine guns among them fired a regiment's firepower density.

"Enemy attack, at least five or more machine guns! It should be the new group from the Eighth Route Army! Throw smoke bombs!"

"Mobile the cart as a cover! Push the mule's body to the side!"

"Retreat, retreat! The enemy is well prepared. We don't have a suitable and strong bunker. We can't defend it!"

For a moment, the Japanese team became confused, shouting and shouting.The Japanese team leader turned over, covering his thigh and pressing the bleeding wound: "Don't panic, don't panic! Retreat alternately!"

These shouts were useful and quickly stabilized the team.The two Japanese soldiers rushed over, dragged the squad leader into the bunker, and quickly bandaged the squad leader's wounds.Then several more smoke bombs were fired, and the Japanese gradually retreated under the cover of smoke.

Behind the Japs, District Chief Zhao opened the nose of the shell gun in his hand.
