Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 36 Super Night Vision

Translator Liu also agreed to Wang Gensheng's request. After all, the hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable.

So that night, Liu the translator was beaten black and blue and left Liujia Village.

That's right, this is naturally a self-torture trick. Beating Liu the translator means that the villagers no longer agree with Liu the translator. They believe that Liu the translator's work for the Japanese not only did not help Liujia Village, but brought disaster to Liujia Village. Therefore, they want to drive Liu the translator out of Liujia Village and expel him from the Liujia Village family tree, and Liujia Village also wants to surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

However, before leaving, translator Liu gave Wang Gensheng a very important piece of information, which was that there was a reinforced battalion of the Japanese devils stationed in Liujia Town, not far from Liujia Village.

What made Wang Gensheng jealous was that the reinforced battalion in Liujia Town was actually equipped with a cavalry company.

So in order to avoid any further complications, as soon as translator Liu left, Wang Gensheng borrowed a donkey from the people of Liujia Village and rode back to Wangjia Village, the base of the New Second Regiment.

·······
"What! There's a cavalry company!"

Wang Gensheng nodded in response to Kong Jie's surprise.

"According to the information provided by the translator Liu, there is only one reinforced battalion of the Japanese invaders stationed in Liujia Town, not far from Liujia Village. It has about 500 soldiers and is also equipped with a cavalry company, so it is called a reinforced battalion.

The platoon of second devils that killed the Liujia Village chief in Liujia Village during the day were sent from Liujia Town! So, in order to avoid any more trouble, I think it’s best for us to capture the second devils in Liujia Town tonight! Cavalry is too important to our new Second Regiment!

After hearing Wang Gensheng's words, Kong Jie gestured on the map before saying:
"Liujia Town is eighty miles away from our Wangjia Village. It's nine o'clock in the evening now, and it will take about four to five hours if we walk quickly. By the time we arrive, it will be two or three in the morning, when we are most sound asleep!"

When Wang Gensheng heard what Kong Jie said, he naturally understood that Kong Jie was going to agree to this night raid, so he immediately said with a smile:
"It's also the easiest time to launch a sneak attack!"

At the sound of the assembly call, more than 500 people in the regiment gathered in less than ten minutes.

Under the leadership of Kong Jie, the five hundred people set out on a night attack on Liujia Town.

This was not the first time that Wang Gensheng followed Kong Jie in a night attack on the Japanese invaders. The last time they attacked the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town at night, they also easily captured it.

Although it was a reinforced battalion this time, the information provided by translator Liu was very detailed, including the specific number of people in the reinforced battalion and where the barracks were. He told Wang Gensheng everything, and translator Liu even drew a simple topographic map of Liujia Town.

Liu the translator's behavior made Wang Gensheng very suspicious whether Liu the translator had long wanted to be an undercover agent or a spy.

············
At half past two, Kong Jie and more than 500 people from the New Second Regiment finally arrived near Liujia Town.

Kong Jie looked at the time before giving the order:

"Rest for half an hour first, and then launch the attack at three o'clock!"

However, Wang Gensheng had already looked through the telescope and found that the Japanese devils in Liujia Town seemed to have no memory. There were still only two Ming sentries standing guard at the gate of Liujia Town.

So he said to Kong Jie:

"Captain, these traitors only care about food and not punishment! They even sent two people to stand guard!"

But Wang Gensheng said this before Kong Jie could say anything!

Li Xiu, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Commander, there are more than two guards. There's another one squatting in the tree over there!"

Li Xiu's words immediately gave Wang Gensheng a start. He had just carefully observed it, but he didn't find another one on the tree. So he asked in surprise:
"It was so dark, and the leaves were hiding it, how did you find it?"

In response to Wang Gensheng's question, Li Xiu said very proudly:
"My eyes have been like a cat's since I was a child. They're not affected by darkness! My sister said I like eating fish!"

Wang Gensheng understood what Li Xiu said. It was normal for people who liked to eat fish to have strong night vision, but it was very impressive to be able to find the secret sentry hiding in the tree and covered by leaves at night.

In order to verify Li Xiu's words, Wang Gensheng moved closer and carefully observed the tree that Li Xiu pointed to.

Sure enough, after careful observation, Wang Gensheng really discovered that the branch in the middle of the tree would shake after a while. It should be the sentry on the tree changing his posture. After all, it is not easy to squat on the tree.

But looking at this secret sentry, Wang Gensheng frowned, because it was very difficult to kill this secret sentry and two visible sentries quietly.

Because if the secret sentry on the tree is killed first, he will definitely fall from the tree uncontrollably, and the sound of falling to the ground will definitely alarm the two visible sentries twenty meters away.

If we kill the two visible sentries first, the secret sentry in the tree will definitely fire a gun. Once the gun is fired, the attack on Liujia Town will change from a night raid to an open attack.

It seemed that Kong Jie also saw Wang Gensheng's difficulties, so he said:

"If you're not sure, then just attack directly! These second devils are different from the little devils. Their fighting ability is much worse!"

Wang Gensheng was very touched by Kong Jie's understanding, but he disagreed with the idea of ​​a direct attack without even trying, so he immediately said:

"Get the soldiers ready. If I fail, then attack immediately!"

Kong Jie nodded in agreement. After all, every soldier is precious and casualties should be avoided as much as possible. Naturally, meaningless casualties should be avoided as much as possible.

Wang Gensheng looked at the tree that was shaking occasionally, thought for a while, then took out a throwing knife and put it in his mouth, then started walking cautiously towards the gate of Liujia Town with two throwing knives in his hands.

Under the cover of darkness, Wang Gensheng approached step by step. Fortunately, when Wang Gensheng successfully approached the secret sentry to within ten meters, he was not discovered.

At this time, Wang Gensheng did not move any closer, because he was now thirty meters away from Ming Sentry, which was close to the killing range of his flying knife.

However, Wang Gensheng did not prioritize dealing with the secret sentry on the tree. Instead, he threw the throwing knives with his left and right hands almost simultaneously at the two sentries standing under the kerosene lamp.

After the flying knife was thrown, Wang Gensheng immediately took out the flying knife in his mouth and threw it at the secret sentry on the tree.

In fact, the flying knife's flying speed is not very fast. Even though Wang Gensheng practiced for several years before traveling through time, and his physical fitness has been enhanced by 16%, the speed of the flying knife is only 30 meters per second.

Therefore, although the open sentry was the first to be thrown, the hidden sentry and the open sentry were hit on the head by the flying knives almost at the same time.

Without even a grunt, Wang Gensheng sent the three traitor sentries away. Wang Gensheng killed these traitors without the slightest mercy.
