Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

The base area returned to its former tranquility, and the artillery training class, medical training class, and automobile training class were all successfully completed.

Each battalion drove their infantry guns, mortars and trucks back home as if it were New Year's Day.

Wang Chengzhu watched those cannons being taken away by several battalions. It was as if he was accepting his own son as his godfather. No, it was as if he was adopting his own son to the neighbor next door, Mr. Wang.

"Captain, how about concentrating the 75 light infantry guns on the artillery company? Their individual infantry battalions can just use mortars!"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu with shifty eyes and knew that this kid might also have a fear of insufficient firepower.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Take good care of your infantry gun. When it's time to use it, if you miss the target, I'll put you in the gun barrel and shoot you out!"

Wang Chengzhu touched his big head and found that it was really about the same caliber as a 150mm rifle.

"Don't worry, Commander. We have plenty of ammunition now. Next time we attack Sakata and Kameda, we will make sure they explode with one shot!"

"Haha, you're a fucking talent. Also, don't hide your artillery skills. You should be like an old hen and bring out more chicks. If you lead a battalion, you can be the artillery battalion commander. If you lead a regiment, you can be the artillery regiment commander!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chengzhu ran to the artillery training ground again and trained those enthusiastic artillerymen until they screamed.

Li Yunlong invited Wang Meng to climb up to a nearby commanding height together, said hello to the sentry, and then strolled around.

Wang Meng raised the telescope and looked at the mountains in northwestern Shanxi. Most of them were small roads, which were okay for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through, but it was indeed a bit difficult for a car to pass through.

The fact that it was not conducive to mechanized marching was previously an advantage for the Eighth Route Army.

Because the Japanese relied on trucks for fast mobility, while the Eighth Route Army relied on their own two legs and specialized in moving around in the mountains, the Japanese mechanized forces were unable to keep up.

However, things are different now. The independent regiment is about to form a transport company of 50 trucks to transport supplies and quickly deploy troops.

If it's an offensive, it's fine, you can send the troops directly to the enemy's face. But if it's a strategic retreat or a special operation that requires taking a small path, then the trucks are a bit redundant.

"Oh, if only there were a bobcat!"

"What mountain cat? We do have wild cats. Do you want one?"

Li Yunlong put his face close to Wang Meng's telescope and almost touched his face.

Wang Meng was startled, his heart pounding. Was it a thrilling feeling? Or a terrifying feeling?

"Captain, what if our base is attacked by the Japanese? What will happen to our trucks and artillery?"

Li Yunlong had already made a plan. If the situation really required retreat, he would carry the mortars directly into the mountains on his shoulders, and dismantle the 150 and 75 infantry guns on the spot and hide them, waiting to be retrieved when the enemy returned.

As for the trucks, we would dig caves in advance and hide inside them, then dismantle some key parts. Even if the Japanese found them, they wouldn't be able to drive away, and at most they would explode.

When he wanted to sleep, someone handed him a pillow. When Wang Meng raised his hand, he saw the message popping up on the tactical terminal.

[The transition period is over, the system has unlocked the task system, you can complete the tasks and get corresponding rewards! ]

"Captain, I need to pee!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, he walked to the side of the cliff with a red face, checked it carefully without telling Li Yunlong, and clicked on the first task.

[The Eighth Route Army must independently seize the enemy's stronghold, and annihilate more than ten enemy soldiers or more than twenty puppet soldiers! ]

[?Reward?: Unlock the BMW R75 heavy military motorcycle 10 points]

Hiss, this heavy military motorcycle has full horsepower. It is the "vanguard" of the German army. It can carry three people, a machine gun can be mounted on it, and it can also tow light artillery and small ammunition carts.

Wang Mengle's "Flower Branches and Branches Shaking" were swaying back and forth beside the cliff.

Seeing Wang Meng going crazy, Li Yunlong became curious. How could someone be so happy just by peeing?

"Mengzi, did you find gold in the urine? Or did you find machine gun bullets?"

Wang Meng then restrained himself a little and pretended to squeeze some liquid under the cliff to nourish the flowers and plants below.

"Captain, our artillery has been trained almost to the point where we should send each unit out for some practice so that we don't get caught up in a fight with the Japanese."

"Okay! When Zhang Dabiao from the First Battalion and Shen Quan from the Second Battalion received their equipment, they yelled at me to give them combat missions. Let's go back and study it!"

Li Yunlong and Wang Meng went down the mountain and came to the combat map of the regiment headquarters. Looking at the jagged enemy and friendly situation map, they chose three strongholds, Huangzhuang, Xicangzhuang and Zhongbao Village, which were like nails stuck in the base.

These three strongholds were arranged in a triangular shape, blocking the three main traffic arteries of the base, firmly blocking the entry and exit of the base.

Each stronghold had about a small team of Japanese soldiers, about thirty people, equipped with three grenade launchers and six light machine guns.

There was also a company of puppet troops, more than a hundred people.

The Japanese in these three strongholds relied on their large numbers, strong firepower and mutual support, and never took the Eighth Route Army seriously. They often stood on the top of the artillery towers and shot at passers-by for fun.

Li Yunlong immediately asked the messenger to call the commanders of the three battalions over, and pointed three fingers at the locations of Huangzhuang, Xicangzhuang and Zhongbao Village.

"Don't you three challenge me to a fight every day? Today I will give you a chance. Take action tonight and launch an attack tomorrow morning. Take down these three strongholds for me!"

Zhang Dabiao looked at the map with his eyes shining. They had heard long ago that the Japanese in these strongholds were damn beasts, and even the puppet troops were doing all kinds of bad things.

"Captain, are there only these three strongholds? Don't bother the Second and Third Battalions. Our First Battalion will take care of them all. If we can't take them down, you can chop off my head!"

The "honest and simple" Shen Quan was immediately unhappy. He frowned and raised his chin towards Zhang Dabiao.

"What are you talking about, Zhang Dabiao? All the good things are taken by your battalion? If you are so capable, why don't you take Taiyuan? One for each person, don't even think about taking more!"

The third battalion commander, Wang Huaibao, couldn't stand it any longer, "Me too!"

Li Yunlong watched them bickering with a smile, as if he was enjoying the fun.

Zhao Gang was the first one who couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Alright, stop arguing, and do as the commander says! The first battalion will attack Huangzhuang, the second battalion will attack Xicangzhuang, and the third battalion will attack Zhongbao Village!"

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Zhao Gang who was causing trouble.

"Now that you have cannons, don't be ignorant of the preciousness of cannonballs. Keep making them without thinking. When the time comes, each battalion will report the results of the battle. I'll see which prodigal son dares to mess around!"

Zhang Dabiao grabbed the hat in his hand and winked at the second and third battalion commanders.

"I don't know about other battalions, but my battalion can take down the enemy stronghold with at most three artillery shells! Even if we don't have artillery, we can still destroy the enemy's artillery tower with our swords!"
