Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 55 The destruction of Imagawa Squadron
"What's going on with this group of Eight Route Army soldiers? I've already retreated, so why are they chasing after me?" Imagawa Hongyi cursed in a low voice, but his mood became more and more urgent.

What does it mean when an eight-way blocking force chooses to pursue you after you retreat?Is it because I like you and can't bear to leave you? Or is it the Chinese people's unique politeness - you're already here, don't leave in a hurry, at least stay for a meal.

No, none of these are possible.The only possibility is that these gangsters are greedy for his body and want to eat him dry.

So what confidence do they have?Is it relying on ample ammunition and poorly trained soldiers?Of course it's impossible. This group of Eighth Route Army must have received the news that they have reinforcements!
Imagawa Hongichi quickly came up with a conclusion that was quite close to the result.But he didn't know that the support army was already behind him...

"The third team and the seriously injured who can't move stay behind to block the attack. The others follow me!" Imagawa Koichi quickly issued a new order.After allowing a small force with heavy casualties to intervene, the larger force took the opportunity to flee and retreat to Wuxiang County.

More than 40 Japanese soldiers stayed, and the remaining 100 or so people formed a team and left quickly.

Imagawa Hongichi looked at the seriously injured people on the ground, suddenly squatted down, stuffed a [-] grenade under the body of a seriously injured person, and then hung the ring on his finger.

"When the Eighth Route Army comes, you just pull it open, do you understand?"

The wounded man nodded.Imagawa Hongichi stood up, bowed to them, then turned and left.

A group of Japanese soldiers quickly walked 800 meters, and there was a burst of gunfire and continuous explosions behind them.This voice completely sank the morale of the team, and the faces of the Japanese became more and more ugly.No matter which unit encounters this situation, its morale will inevitably be affected.

Suddenly, Imagawa Koichi raised his right hand: "Wait, stop moving forward."

"What's wrong?" A team leader walked up to Imagawa Koichi and asked in a low voice.

"Something's wrong, we've walked a few hundred meters, but we didn't see anyone wherever we looked." Imagawa Hongichi frowned: "Where are Zhongjun's troops?"

"Maybe he ran away because of the heavy casualties. Maybe he returned to the city first, or maybe the whole team defected." The team leader did not care about the life and death of the puppet soldiers: "This kind of thing is not uncommon. These people have always been disobedient. You There are no troops to guard them, so no one will blame you for them."

"No, I'm not worried about their whereabouts, I'm worried about whether reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army have arrived." Imagawa Hongichi quickly guessed the truth: "If they encountered a large group of Eighth Route Army attacks nearby, it would be difficult to leave any traces. You also know that almost all of them are wounded and have little will to resist..."

"Order the troops to disperse quickly, advance carefully in combat formation, and be prepared to be attacked."

"Yes."

The squad leader passed on the order, and the enemy's formation began to change.At this moment, with the sound of a shell gun, a dense volley of gunfire suddenly came from the front and right side, and three machine guns fired directly at the crowd.This was quickly followed by a hail of grenades.

Imagawa Hiroichi felt his heart skip a beat.

It's over, it's over.

There were at least a hundred people on the Eighth Road, and they were right under their noses, less than 50 meters away.There are no pre-set positions and no natural bunkers.This is a flat land with no ups and downs, and it is impossible to use the terrain to adjust tactical positions... But the Eighth Route Army only used wild plants and a few crumbling low walls to perfectly hide nearby.

A Japanese soldier rushed over and tried to knock Imakawa Hongichi to the ground.However, Imagawa Hiromoto, who was wearing an officer's uniform, was the key target. How could an ordinary Japanese soldier save him?Several bullets quickly penetrated the bodies of the two men, and then the exploding grenades turned their bodies upside down...

After a round of volleys of gunfire and strafing, and a round of bomb drops, when the few Japanese still alive raised their heads, Eighth Route Army's bayonets were already on their bellies.

"The commander of this Japs is quite good. He actually discovered that there was an ambush, but his reaction was a little slow. He wanted to disperse the troops in front of me..." The first battalion commander of the [-]nd Regiment inserted the shell gun into the gun case. : "Clean up the battlefield, count the numbers, and see how many fish are caught in this net!" "Pay attention to the security work. We have just ambushed two waves of enemies. Don't be ambushed by the enemies."

Soon, the remaining Japanese team was wiped out by the two captains.A few grenades from the grenade blasted the Japanese machine gun, and then the soldiers from the two companies swarmed forward and ended the battle.

It was the fact that the new regiment of soldiers re-gunned the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers and corpses that made Cheng Shifa sigh again - it was too wasteful, couldn't they use bayonets?
Then when cleaning the battlefield, I found grenades under some seriously wounded Japanese soldiers... That's okay, this gun is good at repairing it.

"Not bad. We wiped out all the Japs and captured so many prisoners." Li Yunlong looked at the puppet soldiers tied up in a string and grinned: "Hey, is there a regiment leader?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhong Yunhe. He didn't know that the trajectory of fate had already turned.The commander of the puppet army who would block him in the village during the big sweep in 42 years has now fallen into his hands.

"What's your name?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhong Yunhe up and down.

"The younger one's name is Zhong Yunhe."

"Zhong Yunhe, your name is good. But what's wrong with you? Why do you wear this dog's skin and work for the Japanese?"

Yes, why?Why was he so obsessed with helping the Japanese in the first place?

But naturally he would not say this.He lowered his head and made a respectful look: "We also want to make a living..."

"You have to become a puppet soldier just to make a living?" Li Yunlong slapped Zhong Yunhe on his hat, making him tremble in fear.

"I...I really...really just want to make a living." Zhong Yunhe explained tremblingly.

He never thought that his acting skills could be so good, and he could even master the vibrato when speaking.A sense of confidence suddenly arose in his heart. Maybe he could escape this time?

Li Yunlong shook his head and did not intend to talk to Zhong Yunhe any more.But before he took a few steps, someone stopped him.

"Sir of the Eighth Route Army, I want to report this! This man used to be a bandit from Langwogou. He had to become a puppet soldier because he betrayed the intelligence of your army to the Japanese!"

Li Yunlong turned around and his expression turned cold.

Zhong Yunhe looked at the person who spoke: "What a bastard, I treat you badly, why are you betraying me!"

"You treat me badly? How dare you say this! You almost gave my wife to the Japanese, and I still have to thank you?"

The two quarreled on the spot.Li Yunlong looked at Zhong Yunhe and suddenly remembered something.

"Are you a bandit who lives in a ditch? Do you know about the battle that took place on July 12th?"

Zhong Yunhe's face instantly turned pale.
