Bright Sword: Starting from the Improved Grenade

Chapter 47: Annihilation of the Japanese Artillery Squadron

The explosion line that stretched twenty meters in an instant caused heavy losses to this artillery squad of only a hundred people.

"Baga, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Hiding under the cart pulling the cannon, the shivering Inoue Nakazo kept shouting.

Unfortunately, the power of the forty anti-personnel mines on both sides, one mine per meter every twenty meters, has not yet awakened these Japanese devils.

"What should we do now, squad leader?"

The engineering squad lying in the grass not far away and observing secretly looked at each other in bewilderment. Although the mines were very lethal, they killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers at once.

But there are still fifty or sixty Japanese devils on the battlefield, jumping around!

"this......"

The engineering squad leader was stunned. He didn't know either. He had never learned what to do in this situation.

"Squad leader, why don't you fight them? You see those little devils are still running around. If we wait for them to react, we won't have a chance."

An excited-looking engineer suggested.

"Yeah! Let's fight them. The Japs are nothing special. We killed so many of them in one blow."

The other engineers also echoed.

It was their first time on the battlefield, and they were as fearless as a newborn calf. They didn't care at all whether they could defeat those experienced Japanese devils in close combat.

"Then give it a try!"

The engineer squad leader was excited and threw his military cap down. "Damn it, the regiment commander said that whoever is bravest in close combat will win. When we rush up, we will throw grenades first, then take out the engineer shovel and fight them to the death!"

"agree!"

Everyone said that this is what should be done!

After discussion, the engineers untied the grenades hanging around their waists and unscrewed the covers at the bottom.

They looked at each other and stood up together.

"Rush!!"

The place where the engineering squad was hiding was about a hundred meters away from where the Japanese were ambushed. As soon as they stood up and charged forward shouting, they were immediately discovered by some Japanese.

The Japanese, who originally didn't know where the enemy was and seemed very confused, finally found their target.

They immediately began to gather in an orderly manner, looking for nearby cover and preparing for a counterattack.

"Fuck, this doesn't seem right!"

The engineer squad leader's eyes narrowed. With his sharp eyesight, he had seen that the Japanese soldier opposite was pulling the bolt of his gun.

The effective range of the Japanese Type 460 rifle is 600 meters, and some Japanese can even maintain a good hit rate at a distance of meters.

When the engineer squad leader thought of the information the battalion commander had told him, his scalp went numb: "Don't run the hell away, get down quickly."

"What!"

"boom."

The engineers, who had not yet realized what the squad leader meant, were awakened by the gunshot. They all lay down and began to crawl towards the shallow slope.

"It's bad, squad leader, Oda was shot."

A scream was heard, and a young engineer was seen holding his bleeding shoulder and wailing.

"Ouch, it hurts so much, squad leader, save me, I don't want to die yet."

"Oh shit."

The engineer squad leader cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth as he looked at the wailing Xiaotian, and said, "The others continue to crawl back. I'll go and rescue Xiaotian."

"Be careful, squad leader!"

Braving the hail of bullets, the engineer squad leader came to Xiaotian and said, "Xiaotian, are you okay? The squad leader is here. Hang in there!"

As he said that, he pulled Oda by the collar and crawled towards the back with difficulty.

On the other side, Inoue Chuuzo, who had just been squatting under the cart and shivering, had already sat on the cart in a decent manner and began to command the battle.

"Baga, there are only a dozen of them, how come they haven't been eliminated yet?"

"Captain, calm down. The enemy is lying on the ground. Plus, the terrain over there is lower, which makes it difficult for our soldiers to hit them!"

A sergeant hurriedly explained, but there was something the sergeant didn't say, which was that they were all artillerymen, and they were very accurate in firing cannons, but their marksmanship was not so good.

"Asshole, snap."

Inoue Zhongsan slapped them and said, "Why don't you catch up with them and kill them!"

"Ah! Now that we're there, who will protect the captain?"

The sergeant was a little reluctant to go. The enemy was able to get so many explosives to attack them, and who knew if there were other traps behind. It would be better to just fire some guns here.

"idiot."

Inoue Nakazan was so angry that his veins popped out. Not only had he missed the military intelligence, but so many people had died. If he didn't kill a few Chinese to report to the captain, he would probably be ordered to commit seppuku.

Thinking of this, Inoue Zhongsan raised his right hand high and slapped the sergeant's face hard, causing him to spin twice.

"Go and kill those Chinese guys right now, or I'll kill you!"

"Hi."

The sergeant, who had just turned around twice, didn't dare to say anything more. He saluted, turned around and organized his troops to pursue the enemy.

A moment later, seeing the Japs shooting and chasing them, the engineers couldn't help but become anxious.

"It's over. Am I going to die here?"

Now, these engineers who were on the battlefield for the first time felt the cruelty of it.

The initial indifference was gone, and a mood of pessimism spread among the engineers.

"If it doesn't work, then I'll just fight. At worst, I'll be a brave man again in 18 years!"

An engineer who had given up hope stopped, took out a grenade, and prepared to fight the Japanese to the death.

Seeing this, the others also stopped. Since they couldn't run away, they decided to fight.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Da da da......"

In an instant, a fierce fire came from behind the engineers, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers who were unable to dodge were directly killed.

"Oh my god, there is indeed a backup plan."

The sergeant walking at the back looked at the soldiers falling one after another and cold sweat broke out on his head.

This kind of close combat, fighting and killing is not what the artillerymen are supposed to do.

"What should we do, Sergeant? The enemy's firepower is too strong."

A soldier came to the sergeant in panic and asked.

"What to do, retreat... bang, bang."

Just as the sergeant was about to shout a retreat, two grenades fell in front of them. The violent explosion caused the sergeant to bleed all over and fall to the ground.

"Accurate coordinates, three rounds of rapid fire."

Under the command of a soldier from the spearhead platoon, seven Dinglong grenade launchers quickly fired three grenades, and the Japanese soldiers not far away were immediately blown to pieces.

The momentum, which was already limited, dropped completely and he began to become timid.

"Charge!"

Zhang Dabiao threw his hat, took the lead with a shotgun in both hands, and rushed towards the Japanese quickly.

“Ding ding~~~~”

"Kill, charge!"

Accompanied by the sound of the charge, the soldiers of the spearhead platoon rushed towards the already cowardly Japanese soldiers like wolves and tigers.

"idiot."

Inoue Zhongsan's eyes were wide open, and he was extremely angry when he saw the Eighth Route Army suddenly rushing out.

In contrast to him, the engineering squad felt a strong sense of security as they watched the spearhead platoon soldiers constantly passing by them.

With a "bang", Zhang Dabiao, holding a shotgun, was like a god of war. After a close combat with the Japanese devils, he quickly pulled the handguard and killed six Japanese devils in an instant.

Seeing that the shotgun had no bullets left, he pulled out a big knife from behind and started fighting with the Japanese.

With the help of the spearhead platoon, Zhang Dabiao wiped out the entire Japanese artillery squad, except Inoue Nakazo.

When the sharp knife platoon and his men were fighting hand-to-hand, this guy ran into the nearby forest without hesitation and disappeared without a trace.
