Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 44 Old Mature Vinegar

"They have no more artillery shells, counterattack, counterattack!" The squad leader waved his command knife.

This is not far from the county seat. Once the gunfire is fired, it won't be long before the county seat receives the news. Then the Japanese and puppet troops in the county seat will be dispatched, and the Eighth Route Army opposite will definitely retreat.

If you hold on firmly, reinforcements will definitely come.The most annoying thing about the Locust Army is that they can't find the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Now there are almost two regiments of the Eighth Route Army in total, which is a good time to encircle and annihilate...

The squad leader pretended to be excited and directed the counterattack while cheering himself up in his heart.

Although judging from the sound of gunfire, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army blocking the way ahead was stronger, and there were mortars to assist, so it was no easier to deal with than the pursuing troops behind.But you can’t just hand over your gun and surrender, right?

Under his command, the Japanese also entered combat mode and quickly began to count the wounded.The machine gun team set up their machine guns, stared at the eight-way machine gun position with grenade launchers and fired several rapid rounds, killing two people in a newly formed machine gun team.

"Wang Chengzhu, why the hell did you stop the fire?" the commander of the special agent company cursed loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, two shells hit the ground at the same time.The last old shell knocked out a Japanese machine gun group, but the new shell missed by more than ten meters, and the shrapnel only injured two Japanese riflemen.

Wang Chengzhu ignored the company commander's scolding.He carefully inspected the cannon again, and then took out another cannonball.

Ding!
There was a crisp metallic echo, the cannonball flew out, and Wang Chengzhu raised his head to watch.The good news is that the cannonball landed much closer to the target this time. The bad news is that the two-person grenade team directly led the guy to change positions.

However, although these three artillery pieces combined could only kill one machine gun group, it was enough to damage the morale of the Japanese.

boom!
There was another explosion.This time it was not Wang Chengzhu's mortar, but the Japanese grenade team who accidentally stepped on a mine.This time the mines were all buried in locations suitable for use as bunkers.In just a few minutes, the mines rang several times, sending many Japanese soldiers away and restricting them from changing bunkers.

This made the situation even more unfavorable for the Japs. Many Japs had already exposed their positions and were killed behind the bunkers by the Eighth Route Army's firepower. Their exposed faces were living targets and they were unable to launch an effective counterattack.

"Squad leader, what is going on? How many Eighth Route Army are there in front of us?" A squad leader could no longer hold his nerve.He yelled at the squad leader: "We are not a county town, nor are we a fortress. Why did the Eighth Route Army waste mortar bombs on us?"

The squad leader couldn't answer this question either.He could only wave the command knife in his hand: "Retreat alternately! Don't get entangled with the Eighth Route Army, retreat!"

boom!
As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, another mortar shell fell.This time Wang Chengzhu shot more accurately and lifted a crooked gun directly out of the bunker, leaving the machine gun crew lying on the ground.

"Get out, get out! Use smoke bombs!"

Several grenade groups and about seven or eight infantrymen threw Taisho 11-year-old smoke grenades forward.Speaking of this smoke bomb, its smoke-generating agent is white phosphorus, and it also has a certain arson effect.

When the smoke rose, the dozens of Japs still alive quickly retreated.In addition to their own weapons, they only took away the two overturned light machine guns. They did not bother to take away the rest of the weapons and corpses and still left them where they were.

"Company commander, shall we pursue him?"

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are quite familiar with this routine, because they themselves often use this move to improve their tactical positions.

"What the hell are you chasing? Are you going to compete with the Japanese in marksmanship outside the position?" The company commander slapped the soldier on the head who asked the question: "Everyone, please count the casualties and material losses. Clean the battlefield when you have time, or continue to dig deeper. Trenches, prepare for defense. We still have to fight the devils in the county town, and you will fight the battle."

With that said, the company commander turned his head and looked in the direction of the county seat.Others didn't know where Li Yunlong had gone, but he knew it clearly.
-
In Wuxiang County, two figures in black clothes and black hats were walking on the street one after another.The two men have a sturdy build, one has a big head, a simple and honest face, but a little cunning eyes; the other has a fierce look and sharp eyes, and he looks like a bodyguard at first glance.The two men each brought two ten-ring shell guns. They did not bring the gun cases, but they did have a simple gun hanger: a long iron piece bent into an S shape, one side was stuck on the gun, and the other side was hung on the body, and the robe could not cover it. You can see it.This is a commonly used method of carrying guns for military workers and intelligence personnel. They can be carried close to the body and can be fired after taking them out.

However, after all, this gun is still too big and cannot be hidden very well. If it encounters a detailed interrogation by the Japanese and puppets, it will still be impossible to escape.

But, this group of little devils were originally stationed temporarily, and now they are thinking of evacuating and planning to burn the city, so naturally they don't care who sneaks into the city.What if a few bad guys sneak in?Maybe we can clean up the city together...

The two of them "researched" at the street vendors and shops before cautiously walking into a grocery store in the south of the city.

When the waiter saw the two people entering the store, he immediately stood up and asked, "What do you want to order?"

"Two packs of cigarettes, not Concord." Li Yunlong looked into the boy's eyes and said.

Xiehe cigarettes are a brand created by the Japanese to promote the bullshit concept of "co-prosperity".Li Yunlong said he didn't want this brand, and the clerk immediately understood the political stance of these two people.

"Do you want the Lao Dao Pai or the Three Fortresses?"

"Three forts, twenty pieces." Li Yunlong took a few French coins on the counter.

What I want is pirated goods...

The man immediately understood that this man was not a wealthy man.He turned around and took out two packs of green cigarettes and placed them on the counter.

"By the way, do you have old vinegar here? Here are two bottles. Recently, Wu Xi's relatives came to visit, and they were clamoring to be jealous, but they only recognized old vinegar." Li Yunlong was talking while staring at the expression of the waiter.He didn't forget to put the cigarette into his pocket.

Old vinegar!
The guy is alert.This word is very common in Shanxi, but it is precisely because it is common and will not appear abrupt in conversations that it was chosen as a code word to refer to the Eighth Route Army.

As for Wuxiang County, Wuxi has always been in the hands of the Japanese. The county seat was also captured by the Japanese last month, and the Eighth Route Army retreated to Wudong.This relative from Wuxi wants to be jealous, so it would be strange if he doesn't make a fuss.

The guy and Li Yunlong looked at each other.Then his eyes glanced at the waists of the two of them. Li Yunlong patted his clothes in cooperation, and the shape of the shell gun suddenly appeared.The guy immediately understood the identity of the person coming.

He looked back at the shelf, seemingly looking for the vinegar bottle.After looking over it, he said, "It's no longer here. I'll call the shopkeeper and ask if there's any more in the warehouse."

After saying that, the man opened the door curtain and shouted into the back room.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out.He is chubby and has a professional smile on his face, which makes him look like a philistine businessman at a glance.

"Xiao Wang, go to the door and keep an eye on it." The shopkeeper ordered, and then looked at Li Yunlong and Li Yunlong: "I am Chen Baozhong, who are you two?"

"I am the leader of the new regiment, Li Yunlong."
