Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 32 Quiet Wangjia Village
"Tai-jun Watanabe, this is it, this is Wangjia Village!"

The person who spoke was President Huang, whose wrist was pierced by a flying knife from Wang Gensheng more than a month ago.

However, more than a month has passed, and President Huang's wrist is almost healed.

At this time, President Huang was pointing the way to a captain of the Japanese army!

However, Wang Gensheng was quite unhappy when he saw President Huang acting so fawningly in front of the team leader. Wang Gensheng really looked down on such people.

They acted arrogantly towards their own people, but were servile towards foreigners. They were no better than those Western-worshipping dogs of later generations. So Wang Gensheng immediately said to Baili Xiu:

"Baili Xiu, do you see Chairman Huang standing outside the village entrance? We let him go to lure the Japanese into a trap. Now, whether you can kill him depends on your marksmanship!"

As Wang Gensheng spoke, he handed the telescope he had seized from the Japanese to Baili Xiu.

Baili Xiu took the telescope and looked in the direction Wang Gensheng pointed. The Japanese soldiers from that brigade did not enter the village but were 500 meters away from the village entrance. At such a distance, they looked like a dot the size of a soybean to the naked eye.

Without any optical sight, the difficulty is really very great, so Baili Xiu shook his head and said:

"At such a long distance, you can give it a try, but I'm not sure of hitting it!"

Wang Gensheng didn't think too much of it. It was just a bullet, so he nodded immediately.
"Okay! It's just one bullet!"

With Wang Gensheng's permission, Baili Xiu raised the sight of the Type 38 rifle and then pulled the bolt to load the chamber.

At this time, Wang Gensheng was also holding a telescope and looking at Chairman Huang who was saying something to the Japanese lieutenant colonel with a flattering look on his face. Unfortunately, the distance was 500 meters, and Wang Gensheng did not understand lip reading, so he naturally did not understand what they were saying.

boom!
The crisp sound of a Type 38 rifle came to my ears. It was obviously Baili Xiu who fired the shot. Then, one second after the gunshot, President Huang, who was speaking excitedly, fell down holding his neck.

"It should have hit!"

Baili Xiu asked, but it was difficult to see clearly from such a long distance, and Wang Gensheng smiled and said:
"It hit him. Although it wasn't a headshot, it hit a vital part like the neck!"

The sudden gunshots, coupled with Chairman Huang falling down beside him, frightened the Japanese lieutenant colonel so much that he immediately lay down and looked for cover.

He also ordered his artillerymen to fire at the house at the entrance of the village where Baili Xiu and Wang Gensheng were.

Of course, the first to open fire was not the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun, but the light and heavy machine guns, especially the Japanese heavy machine guns.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun does not use 6.5mm bullets, but 7.7mm bullets, which are twice as powerful as 6.5mm bullets.

Therefore, the wall of the earthen house where Wang Gensheng lived, which was built with earthen bricks, could not withstand the penetration of such bullets.

So when Wang Gensheng saw the Japanese soldiers fiddling with the heavy machine gun, he had already pulled Baili Xiu into the tunnel.

Not long after Wang Gensheng and Baili Xiu entered the tunnel inside the house, two Type 92 infantry gun shells hit the house. Although the power of the Type 92 infantry gun was not very strong, the strength of the earthen house built with earthen bricks was not very good either!

So after two shells, the house collapsed. If Baili Xiu and Wang Gensheng were still here, they would definitely be crushed to death or buried. After a burst of gunfire, Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe drew the samurai sword at his waist and ordered a charge.

In order to prevent anyone from Wangjia Village from escaping, Captain Watanabe divided his troops into two groups: one, two of his three infantry companies were responsible for surrounding Wangjia Village, and the other was responsible for entering and clearing out the villagers.

However, after this infantry company entered Wangjia Village, they found that the entire village was surprisingly quiet.

Then they checked the house that had just collapsed, but they didn't find a body. You know, they didn't see anyone running out of the house just now!

However, when dozens of Japanese soldiers were digging and checking the ruins of the house, Wang Gensheng had already crawled out of the tunnel of a nearby house. However, this time Wang Gensheng did not bring Baili Xiu with him. Instead, he quietly opened the window of the house alone, and then counted down in his mind after knocking down two grenades.

When he read to the third second, Wang Gensheng threw the grenade in his hand.

The two grenades flew over 20 meters and exploded in the air three meters above the ground. The explosion took place right above the collapsed house.

The grenade that exploded in the air killed and injured a large number of people. Wang Gensheng felt ten streams of heat coming from his body one after another and understood that the two grenades had killed ten Japanese soldiers.

As for how many people were injured, I don’t know, because the injured Japanese soldiers cannot generate heat flow.

After throwing these two grenades, Wang Gensheng threw two more grenades, but these two grenades were not thrown out, but thrown at his feet. Then Wang Gensheng crawled into the tunnel.

Just when the grenade was about to explode, the door of the house was pushed open by the Japanese soldiers, and then they were greeted by two grenades that had already exploded with ignited fuses.

But this time Wang Gensheng felt a little bit at a disadvantage. After all, the two grenades only killed four Japanese soldiers. How could it not be a loss!

Of course, it's not just Wang Gensheng's case. There are more cases like the Japanese soldiers who want to go in and take a look, but as soon as they push the door open, they directly ignite the grenade with the fuse tied to the door.

So pushing the door means detonating the grenade. Those Japanese soldiers who react quickly enough and notice the ignited grenade can still escape by chance, but those who react slowly can only wait for death.

But this is the only way to deal with this situation now. After all, there are no grenades with no delay, and only grenades with no delay are suitable for making traps and booby traps.

Of course, after the initial casualties, some Japanese soldiers discovered the tunnel entrances hidden under water tanks or in cabinets.

It’s a pity that the Japanese didn’t know that every tunnel entrance was guarded.

As long as they find that the person coming down is not one of their own, they will thrust out the spear in their hand. There is no way to hide in the narrow tunnel entrance.

In a short period of time, the Japanese soldiers who entered the village suffered nearly a hundred casualties.

Of course, such a small number of casualties is not enough to affect the morale of a group of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers now are not the same as those in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japan. With the blessing of Bushido, they will not surrender.

But suffering nearly a hundred casualties without killing a single enemy is a bit fatal.

After a series of various deaths before, the Japanese soldiers were now terrified when looking at the houses around them, fearing that a gun would pop out from the window or eaves of the house, and they didn't even dare to push the door open to check.
