Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 50: Dogs search for explosives, this makes sense
"Baga!" Imagawa Koichi was lying behind the bunker, yelling: "The grenade team is counterattacking!"

The two Japanese soldiers bent over and ran forward quickly, and each of them dragged an engineer back.The squadron's health soldiers immediately came to check with medicine boxes.One of the health soldiers quickly started debriding and bandaging, while the other just shook his head.

On the other side, a shooter from the grenade group bent down and ran to Imagawa Koichi: "Captain, that's the mortar from the Eighth Route Army. It's located about 1000 meters away, and the grenade can't hit it at all."

"Baga!" Imagawa Koichi cursed again.In just a few dozen seconds, three casualties had occurred. The puppet soldiers in front stepped on the mines and killed one person. The Japanese were killed and injured by the shelling.

The Locust Army has always had a firepower advantage against the Eighth Route Army.The Eighth Route Army had it, the Locust Army had it, and it was even richer.

This is true even for mortars. The Eighth Route Army still uses Type 20 82mm mortars.Most of these guns are!Seized from preserved fruits in the past ten years, the range is about 2800 meters.

The Locust Army's Type 81 [-]mm mortar is often reinforced into squadrons.Not to mention the Type [-] infantry artillery.

But this time the Locust Army was dispatched lightly. The [-] to [-] kilogram mortars were not brought out at all. Instead, because their hands were not long enough, they were hit by the Eighth Route Army with cannons but could not fight back...

"Judging from the power, the caliber of the guns used by the Eighth Route Army should be lower than 81mm. I guess it is a 60mm mortar with a range of less than 2000 meters." The shooter continued.

Imagawa Hongichi waved his hand helplessly, signaling the Japanese to retreat.He frowned and began to think about ways to break the situation.

The Eighth Route Army has always been economical. This time it used minefields and mortars to delay time. It was obvious that it was bound to win against the troops withdrawing from Wudong.

"Isn't it the order from the headquarters that angered the Eighth Route Army?" Imagawa Hongichi thought of the telegram he received.

But it's too late to say anything now.There are a lot of supplies stored in various strongholds in Wudong, as well as a lot of weapons and ammunition.If these supplies fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, the Locust Army may have to break a lot of jade.

Whether it is the lives of so many Imperial warriors or so many Imperial supplies, this must be saved.It's just a way...

boom!
When Wang Chengzhu saw that the Japanese had no movement, he stopped attacking the engineers and fired at the Japanese outside the minefield.

"Captain Zhong." Imagawa Hongichi called out to Zhong Yunhe who was hiding behind a nearby bunker.

He made Zhong Yunhe go from being the head of a bare-bones regiment to a powerful figure in Wuxiang County, with three to four hundred people in charge.Now that he was in trouble, Zhong Yunhe naturally had to do something to repay him.

"Taijun, what are your orders?" Zhong Yunhe had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Ask your troops to bring mine detector rods and go up to clear mines. A passage must be cleared within an hour!" Imagawa Hongichi said his method.

If you want to rescue but don't want to be delayed, then you have to sacrifice the puppet troops.Anyway, when asked about battle losses, he only needed to report the number of jade broken warriors.

As for the puppet army?The base camp doesn't care about the losses of the puppet troops.After all, they are just a group of dogs, and it is very reasonable to send them to search for explosives.

"Taijun, you, you are asking us to risk our lives... You have also seen how cunning the Eighth Route Army is. Anyone who goes up to clear mines will be blasted..." Zhong Yunhe immediately made a bitter look on his face.

He finally subdued these hundreds of people, but now Taijun wants him to order his brothers to die?This is really too much. Who will listen to him if he does it?
Imagawa Hongichi sneered and pulled out his gun: "You can choose to die in my hands now."

What a joke, what does the empire want the puppet army for?You don’t need to go through the thunder, but do you want the warriors of the empire to sacrifice themselves?Besides, if the puppet troops don't go up to clear mines, the mortars from the opposite side might hit the locust army behind.

As Imagawa Hongichi drew his gun, the nearby Japanese soldiers pointed their guns at the puppet troops in front.Zhong Yunhe immediately raised his hand: "Taijun, I don't mean to object, I just want to ask if you can have more time..." "No!" Imagawa Hongyi said coldly: "Now command your troops to hold the mine detector rods Go and clear mines, it’s time for you to talk to me!”

Zhong Yunhe gritted his teeth, as if he had been engaged in a long ideological struggle, and finally waved his hand and ordered the puppet troops to step forward to clear the mines.

He couldn't refuse, he had begged for love, and now the guns were pointed at him.Zhong Yunhe understood that the steps had been paved, and all he had to do now was to walk down.

Following his order, 250 puppet soldiers reluctantly picked up the mine-detecting rods, lay down on the ground, and crawled forward while poking at the ground.

"I found one." A puppet soldier shouted, and then started digging the hole with his hands, trying to dig out the mine.

However, before Lei was dug out, a shell exploded not far behind him, directly lifting two nearby puppet soldiers from the ground.

Zhong Yunhe said expressionlessly: "Quickly, drag the seriously injured brother back, and the others will continue to detect mines!"

Two puppet soldiers stepped forward to drag him away. The other puppet soldiers either lowered their heads or looked at each other, but most of them chose to remain silent and only cursed a few times in their hearts.

Only Zhong Yunhe's adjutant quietly crawled to Zhong Yunhe's side and whispered: "Captain, are we just going to let the Japanese bully us?"

"The gun is stuck to my forehead, what else can I do?" Zhong Yunhe glanced at his adjutant: "No matter what you think, you can talk about it after you get back. Don't give me any trouble now. If anything happens, you will be unlucky. But all the brothers!”

"I know." The adjutant replied reluctantly, then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

So, in silence, the puppet troops started demining work again.

Wang Chengzhu observed this group of puppet soldiers, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised: "This group of puppet soldiers moves slowly and has a large target range. It is a rare and good target for novices! You two come here and try your hand at firing a few shots. "

It was rare to have a suitable goal, so Wang Chengzhu couldn't care less about his own enjoyment. He pulled two novices over and planned to start practical teaching.He still remembered Li Yunlong's promise, he wanted to be the commander of the artillery company!

"Gunner, do you think I can hit it?"

Wang Chengzhu walked over and took a look: "It's almost the same. Anyway, there are more shells now, enough for you to adjust, shoot!"

As long as the two newcomers are not too crooked, let them correct themselves.There are so many gunners in the army, except for those who can calculate ballistics, the rest are fed by artillery shells, and their accuracy depends entirely on experience.

"Ok."

With two crisp metallic echoes, two artillery shells hit the middle of the puppet army.

This demining method itself is prone to missing landmines, so personnel are distributed more densely.At this moment, the two shells landed right in the crowd, directly killing and wounding seven or eight people.

"Okay, good job!" Li Yunlong held up the binoculars and smiled from ear to ear.
