Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 126
"Commander, look, this is the Eighth Route Army's ambush position. This pit is the observation position." A Japanese soldier lifted the camouflage on the ground, revealing a small pit that could only accommodate one person.

"Yo Xi, all eight routes have been withdrawn."

The corps commander walked over and nodded towards the ambush position that had been rushed out. Then he slowly walked forward along the position with his gun in hand, his eyes constantly searching the ground.After walking for more than ten steps, the Japs stopped and squatted down.Picked up a bullet casing from the ground and looked at it carefully.

"The Eighth Route Army has missed a lot of shell casings here. Judging from the appearance, they should be Czech light machine gun shell casings." The team leader said, frowning: "Strange, these shell casings..."

Although Balu has the habit of collecting bullet casings and reloading bullets, the recovery rate of bullet casings cannot be 100%.More bullets are consumed, and even if the soldiers intentionally collect them, some will always be missed due to the influence of time and environment.The Japanese often picked up the bullet casings left behind by the Eighth Route Army when cleaning up the battlefield after the war.

So what surprised the Japanese was not that they picked up the cartridge case, but the texture of the cartridge case - even though it had been used once, the cartridge case was still smooth and bright, and its self-lubricating properties were so high that it was ridiculously high.If the Taisho [-]-type light machine gun's special reduced charge machine gun ammunition can be used with such a cartridge case, the failure rate should be greatly reduced, right?

"No..." The Japanese team leader immediately put aside the thought in his mind: "How come there are bullet casings of this quality on the Eighth Route Army?"

From the moment this thought emerged from his heart, the old devil felt uncomfortable.Japan has become advanced, while China has fallen behind. This is the ideological stamp that militarism has engraved in the minds of Japanese people for decades.Japan must be more advanced than China, otherwise wouldn't the black ship come in vain?Isn’t Weixin Baiwei?

Therefore, the first time he discovered that this bullet case was of excellent craftsmanship, the old devil felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and his brain naturally started to spin.

"This is definitely not produced by the Eighth Route Army itself. It is impossible for the Tubal Road in the ravines of Tiantian to have this technology. Then it must be the assistance of external forces, and there are not many countries in the world that have better technology than the Empire..."

The Japanese team leader seemed to have figured something out. He turned his head and said to the members of the reconnaissance team: "Quick, check the Eighth Route Army's position and focus on searching for the shell casings left behind by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi!"

Several Japanese soldiers searched separately and soon gained something.In addition to the shells used by more Czech machine guns, there are also thinner [-] shells and much shorter pistol shells.The quality of these cartridge cases, without exception, is of extremely high quality.

Especially the [-]mm shells. The Japanese who touch [-]mm shells every day are very familiar with this kind of bullets.Looking at the excellent quality bullet shells in their hands at this moment, several old devils noticed something was wrong.

The Imperial Japanese Army didn't even use such a good thing, but the Eighth Route Army actually used it first?What a joke!
"You have done a great job this time!" The corps commander looked serious: "Our task now is to hand over these bullet casings. These are important information!"

"Come on, let's go see the squad leader!" The team leader wrapped up the bullet casings and turned around to leave.He has confirmed the Eighth Route Army's ambush position and also discovered such information.Now he was focused on reporting the situation.

So much so that he ignored that during an Eighth Route Army ambush, in order to avoid Japanese detection, the troops were usually not placed in the front ambush position, but were deployed further back.The Eighth Route Army's ambush troops will not enter the position until the Japanese reconnaissance team passes by and the large force is about to enter the ambush area.

"The devil is gone, get up!"

With a low shout, a dozen soldiers wearing camouflage quickly entered the position.The machine gunner placed the Czech gun on the spot where the Japanese team leader had just picked up the cartridge case, opened the shoulder stock at the end of the butt, and slid open the dust cover; the ammunition hand on the side quickly inserted a magazine.

………………

"Yo Xi, you did a good job." After listening to the captain's report, the Japanese squad leader waved his hand and ordered: "Go forward and collect the corpses for the warriors of the empire!" With the permission of the Japanese squad leader, the puppet company commander finally took the More than 100 puppet troops advanced forward.After getting far enough away from the Japanese, the puppet company commander finally had the courage to spit on the ground and muttered softly.

"Damn it, Taijun, you are more courageous than me!"

A Japanese soldier who had just been in charge of reconnaissance walked in front and brought a group of puppet soldiers to the neatly arranged corpses.Then the Japanese squad leader also caught up from behind, looking at the corpses on the ground with ugly expressions.

These corpses were basically covered with gunshot wounds, and knife wounds accounted for only a small proportion.This shows that the Eighth Route Army launched a charge and chose to use bullets to quickly resolve the battle.

"You dig a pit and put the remains of the imperial warriors in for cremation. We will take the ashes of the warriors back to their hometowns and bring them to their relatives. As for the corpses of your security forces, it is up to you to deal with them yourself."

The Japanese squad leader immediately gave instructions that the glorious and great imperial warriors should not be burned together with inferior things like the puppet army, which would stain the ashes of the warriors.

"Yes!"

The puppet company commander responded and raised his hand to greet him. Several obedient soldiers immediately stepped forward and began to move the bodies, while several puppet soldiers carrying engineer shovels began to dig holes on the spot.More people began to pick up the corpses of the puppet soldiers and planned to move them to the other side - the puppet soldiers were not as valuable as the Japanese. When they died, they could just find a piece of land to burn or bury them, and they could be buried in peace.

Seeing the puppet soldiers working obediently, the Japanese squad leader nodded, and then began to survey the battlefield.

Although he has always looked down on the Eighth Route Army, Nobuo Yamayama has repeatedly emphasized the special nature of this Eighth Route Army. In addition, now that one of the Eighth Route Army has been lost here, the captain has changed his view of his opponent and become vigilant.

"These craters... are relatively concentrated, slightly deeper than those caused by grenades. They should have used weapons such as grenades. Their formation is relatively dense, otherwise the firepower of the Eighth Route Army would not be so concentrated."

The Japanese squad leader analyzed bit by bit, and his serious look made the Eighth Route Army soldiers who had just entered the ambush position in the distance couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"About 150 meters, adjust the angle. The three of us fight together and try to kill the leading Japs first!"

"Listen to my command, three, two, one, fire!"

boom!
The sudden explosion was an unexpected surprise for the Japanese and puppet troops.Two of the three rifle grenades were deflected and landed on the unlucky puppet soldiers beside them.There was also one that directly took away the Japanese squad leader, which was considered to have achieved the goal.Fortunately, the Japs did not lose their combat effectiveness because of the death of the squad leader, but the reaction of the puppet troops was basically the same - run.

However, for Li Yunlong, this was an unexpected surprise.

"Damn it, why did the Ninth Company open fire? The Eighth Company hasn't reached the predetermined position yet!" Li Yunlong put down the telescope: "It's too late, the Eighth Company don't tie up your pockets, just press forward!"
