Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 213 Team Battle

"The company commander is one hundred meters away. Do you want to fight?"

At the entrance of Zhouzhuang Village, a soldier asked the company commander.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only 30 meters away. Throw a grenade and fight."

The company commander said calmly.

"Oh!"

The soldier nodded and ran to convey the company commander's order.

"Spread out, be careful of the guerrillas' grenades."

The commander knew that the guerrillas had many wooden grenades and didn't have much else, so he quickly reminded his Imperial Army.

However, the regiment commander guessed that the guerrillas would throw grenades, but he did not know that the guerrillas would throw so many grenades.

When he saw more than a hundred grenades falling from the sky, he was completely numb.

"Fuck, disperse!"

“Bang, bang, bang…”

The explosive power of more than one hundred grenades directly killed more than a dozen Imperial Army soldiers in front of the company.

"Da da da da..."

Before they could react, three Taihang Type 1 light machine guns were suddenly moved onto the top of the wall and fired at the stunned Imperial Army in front of them.

"Grenade launcher, two volleys."

Three company-owned Dinglong grenade launchers quickly fired six 50mm grenades, which flew straight towards the area where the Imperial Association’s crowd was densely packed.

"Blow the charge horn and have the second and third companies attack."

In a house not far away, Li Yunlong said lightly while holding up a telescope.

"Drip drip..."

"Charge, kill!"

Accompanied by the sound of the charge, the Eighth Route Army soldiers, holding Taihang Type 2 cavalry rifles, rushed towards the Imperial Army not far away.

Looking at the enemies surrounding him from both sides and the terrifying firepower that suddenly erupted in front of him, Wu Daba's face was filled with horror.

"Fuck, I was ambushed."

"Captain, run quickly. This firepower must be from the New 1st Regiment."

The deputy captain gave a reminder and without saying a word he turned his horse around and ran away.

Wu Daba looked at the deputy commander, then at his men who were being beaten, and gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, I've made enough money these years. As long as I have the green mountains, I won't be afraid of running out of firewood!"

"Snapped."

With a gunshot, a bullet went straight through Wu Daba's head, bringing out some white fluid.

"Good marksmanship!"

Li Yunlong held up a telescope and saw that one of the officers on horseback was shot dead. He was immediately surprised.

"The distance must be at least 600 meters! Who hit him? I'm going to reward him with a bowl of sweet potato stew."

"It's the political commissar."

Wei Dayong, who was standing outside the house on guard, immediately identified the source of the gunshots.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong came out of the house with a look of surprise on his face.

Zhao Gang was seen standing on the roof of a civilian's house, holding a sniper rifle and looking at Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, your shooting skills are pretty good!"

"After the battle, I'll treat you to a drink."

Li Yunlong greeted with a smile.

"hehe."

Zhao Gang smiled faintly, came down from the roof and came to Li Yunlong: "I think you want to drink!"

"What kind of gun do you have? You're really accurate."

Li Yunlong did not reply, but looked at Zhao Gang's guard, who was carrying a rifle, and asked curiously.

"Taihang Type 1 sniper rifle."

Zhao Gang took the sniper rifle and handed it to Li Yunlong generously.

"This is a sniper rifle that was just manufactured by the arsenal. It was a gift from the chief before I came here."

“It’s so clear!”

Li Yunlong raised the sniper rifle, took aim, and said in surprise.

"The four-fold optical sight, thanks to it, I was able to blow up the puppet army officer's head with one shot from six hundred meters away."

Zhao Gang pointed to the scope on the sniper rifle and explained.

"Oh, what a nice gun! What a nice gun!"

As Li Yunlong returned the gun to Zhao Gang, he said happily, "I have to write a letter to my brother and ask him to give me a few guns to play with."

"you?"

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Although Captain Li is a veteran of the Red Army and has a lot of experience, this sniper rifle has just been made and there are many people who want it."

"Commissar, you don't know!"

Guard Hu Zi couldn't help but explain: "Minister Zhao of the Military Industry Department came from our regiment."

"Zhao Tianyang, Minister Zhao?"

Zhao Gang said in surprise.

"hey-hey....."

"Report to the regiment commander, the battle is over, Wu Daba was shot in the head."

Just when Li Yunlong wanted to blow it carefully, Zhang Dabiao ran over and said.

"understood."

Li Yunlong nodded and asked, "Where is the officer who ran away?"

"He was killed by the heavy machine guns I deployed at the intersection. Even his horse was accidentally killed."

Zhang Dabiao touched his face and said with a smile: "The head was blown up, it's terrible."

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "Er Gouzi, how many people survived?"

"700 people."

Zhang Dabiao said with a guilty conscience.

"What?"

Li Yunlong yelled angrily, "What the hell are you doing? Wu Daba's regiment only has 1,000 people, and you killed 300 of them after all this time!!"

"That's not our fault!"

Zhang Dabiao said helplessly: "Those idiots are really too smart."

"Once the fight started, they ran like rabbits. When we charged, they dropped their guns and knelt on the ground in surrender."

"Hahaha, that's enough, Captain Li, don't blame them."

Zhao Gang at the side smiled and said, "Give me all the prisoners, and I will do some ideological work on them."

"whatever!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand indifferently: "Zhang Dabiao, send someone to call all the villagers back and clean up the dead horse. I will treat everyone to horse meat tonight."

"Okay."

Zhang Dabiao happily ran to convey Li Yunlong's order.

In the evening, Li Yunlong held a bowl, ate horse meat, and smiled as he watched the Imperial Army soldiers crying miserably after being taught a lesson by Zhao Gang.

"You know what, Zhao Gang is really amazing. With his education level, I estimate that our New First Regiment will need half a battalion more."

.............

Changzhi, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"Commander-in-chief, the work of recruiting the bandits in various military regions has almost been completed."

The chief of staff held a telegram and said to the commander-in-chief: "However, judging from the telegrams sent back from various places, some bandits have joined the Imperial Army."

"After they had the support of the Japanese, they became even more brutal, often gathering troops to go to the countryside, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil."

"Humph, a bunch of beasts, damn it."

The commander-in-chief cursed and came to the map: "During the last military exercise, the contact between the Kuomintang and the Japanese army was not interrupted."

"Do you think we should take some measures?"

"I think it works!"

The chief of staff nodded: "Last time we responded passively, resulting in heavy losses to our troops, and many revolutionary comrades were brutally killed."

"I think this time, we should strike first and catch the enemy off guard!"

"Ah."

The commander-in-chief smiled and looked at the chief of staff: "So, where do you think we should attack?"

"If you want to fight, fight big."

At this time, the deputy chief of staff spoke up and said, "Isn't the Kuomintang promoting our guerrilla warfare, guerrilla warfare, but not fighting?"

"Why don't we just give the Japanese a hard time and completely destroy their transportation lines and bunkers in Shanxi."

"I agree."

The chief of staff agreed, "It just so happens that the troops have only been expanded so far, but they haven't fought many big battles yet. Let's give it a try this time."

"Row."

The commander-in-chief nodded.
