Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 41 Night Battle
"This bitch is so courageous, isn't he?"

The brigade commander looked at the map and cursed loudly.

Luo Yuanfan did hand over the current situation of the New Regiment and Li Yunlong's battle plan.

Chief of Staff Zhou smiled: "Old Chen, it's not the first day you've met him. This guy was already very courageous, and now he still has the equipment support from Advisor Meng. Not to mention that the little devil is making moves now, it's just the little devil. If you don't move, he will have to do something for you."

"This time is different from before." The brigade commander said with a serious face: "When I say bold, I don't mean that he dares to lead the regiment to the front of the county seat to block the attack."

"In the past, I didn't know until this kid caused trouble. I just had to deal with him. What about this time? This kid took the initiative to report his plan and let me know. What does this mean?"

"This bitch is actually trying to turn me on!"

The brigade commander slapped the table hard.

This was not because he felt that the brigade commander's authority had been damaged or anything, but simply because his plan for Wuxiang was interrupted by the actions of the Japanese and Li Yunlong just after he completed it.

"Then what are you going to do?" Chief of Staff Zhou walked to the side of the group and tapped his pencil lightly on the county seat.

"This guy's judgment of the battle situation is quite keen. Now the Japs in various strongholds in Wudong are retreating to the county. The place he chose can indeed intercept all the hundreds of Japs scattered in Wudong. If the troops are sufficient If so, we can indeed eat up all the Japanese in Wudong."

"But here's the problem. Theoretically, the Japs in Wudong were chased all the way by the New Regiment. They couldn't be in a dense formation of a normal march. It would take a long time to eat them. This period of time is enough for the county. The Japanese reacted and went out of the city to beat Li Yunlong."

The brigade commander looked at the map, his eyes gradually showing a fierce light.

"Let the supplementary regiment and the 772nd regiment draw two battalions from each regiment and follow me to Wuxiang."

"Also, bring over the two cannons I borrowed from the artillery regiment."

Chief of Staff Zhou's eyes lit up: "What do you want?"

"This kid Li Yunlong is very smart, but his eyesight is still a bit shallow. If you want to fight, then go for the big one!"

"Just eating the hundreds of Japanese soldiers in Wudong won't satisfy the appetite of our brigade. If we want to fight, we will take down the entire county together!"

Chief of Staff Zhou nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. But this time Li Yunlong... what are you going to do with him?"

"We'll talk about it after the battle is over. But..." the brigade commander suddenly laughed: "Advisor Meng promised to give him a few mortars, so he dared to hang out under the county seat. That's okay, but he has several mortars in one regiment. Mortars, as a brigade commander, I have more than him, right? Especially artillery shells, I need to get more."

"Hahaha……"

Twenty miles southeast of the county seat, near Zhangyu.

The Japs from various strongholds in Wudong retreated towards the county seat. As they walked, the Japs from various strongholds and the new regiment and local armed pursuit troops gathered nearby.Everyone came in different directions and at different times, so the entire battlefield became a situation where you were surrounded by me and you were surrounded by me, and it basically became a chaotic battle.

When the sky gradually darkened and night came, the sounds of firefights gradually became sparse.

"How is it? How many troops have been contacted?" Hu Sheng asked.

He was leaning on the temporarily dug trench and was shooting a [-] pose.On his waist, the original shell gun had disappeared, replaced by a little devil's tortoise box.After a long period of use, his shell gun finally became overwhelmed and ended its glorious life - its receiver cracked.Hu Sheng had no choice but to use a tortoise box that had just been seized from the Japanese as his sidearm.

If it's farther away, use the [-] posture, and if it's close to the body, use the tortoise box.Although this gun is bad, it is still a gun. Even if it malfunctions and cannot be fired, it is still better to knock out the Japanese with a gun than with bare hands.

"Not many, only two platoons were contacted. As you know, everything is in chaos here. There is a swarm of Japs within a few steps, making it almost impossible to contact." The correspondent shook his head.

"Okay, two platoons plus our battalion headquarters are enough." Hu Sheng loaded the Type [-] in his hand and held it in his arms: "Go and inform us that the night battle will start in a platoon as a unit. Kill as many Japs as you can, and also take the opportunity to contact other troops."

Night battles are the specialty of the Eighth Route Army.Attacking directly from the Japs' faces at night, any advanced weapons and equipment, or any well-trained and excellent marksmanship, are all useless.The barrel of the gun is stuffed into the mouth. Even if the gun is held in the hand, the accuracy is no different from the Type [-].What the two sides are comparing is a reaction, and what they are playing is a stimulus.

Moreover, Xinyi Tuan has been eating Consultant Meng’s canned pork every day during this period. Are those nutrients and vitamin A supplements for nothing?The physical fitness of the soldiers has improved somewhat, and their night blindness has been cured to some extent. Their combat effectiveness will only be stronger during night battles.

"Yes." The correspondent responded quietly.

But as soon as he finished his response, a gunshot was heard from a distance.Then there was a rapid succession of gunshots, and the whole night suddenly became lively.

"It seems that some comrades can't bear it anymore!" Hu Sheng laughed and did not lower his voice: "Give me the order, each platoon is free to look for the enemy, and take advantage of the darkness to show the little devils a little more skill! "

Following Hu Sheng's order, the Second Battalion took action quickly.

A few hundred meters away, Nishida Koji was leading his team towards the northwest.After dark, the team was scattered by several waves of small attacks, and Nishida couldn't find his team leader at all.So he directly abandoned the baggage carried by the detachment, took two days of dry food for each person, and more bullets, planning to withdraw from the battlefield in the dark.

However, he ran directly into the position of a team from the district squadron.

boom!
With the loud bang of the gun, a dozen people dressed as farmers appeared around with various weapons.Some of them were holding rifles, some were holding solitaires, some were holding long guns, and some were even wielding hoes.In just a few seconds, more than 30 people collided with each other, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

Koji Nishida raised his gun and shot a man holding a gun. Before he could pull the bolt, his right hand immediately left the trigger and rested on the butt of the gun.Another man with a spear had already rushed three steps away from him, then stopped and stabbed him with a spear.

This made Nishida Koji feel nervous: the opponent was also a master of stabbing.

Whether it is a Type [-] equipped with a bayonet or a long gun, the key is to take advantage of length and stab the enemy directly when the enemy cannot attack you, ending the battle.Therefore, after the master approaches the enemy, he will deliberately keep a certain distance in order to maintain an advantage in the battle.

This is the saying goes that if you shoot with a single sword, you will escape death.The kind that just rushes over with a gun and stabs people while running is actually easier to deal with. You just need to know where to block and then slash through with a knife.

Nishida slapped the tip of the spear away with his rifle, and then tried to step forward with his left foot.The opponent quickly retracted his gun and stabbed him again.Seizing the opportunity, Nishida moved the spearhead of the spear to the left, then the rifle pressed the spearhead down, stood forward, and swept the bayonet along the barrel of the gun.

In desperation, the man let go of the gun and stepped back. Nishida slightly retracted the gun and stabbed forward.This time the bayonet really penetrated into the heart.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Koji Nishida pulled out his gun and calmed his heartbeat.He loaded the bullets in the magazine while looking back at the team.In just ten seconds, the battle was over. Although four people were shattered, the dozen people who rushed over to attack were also knocked down.

"Keep walking. Fighting at night is not good for us. We need to find an opportunity to escape from the battlefield and talk about it during the day."
