Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

Chapter 38: Zhu's cannon missed the target, and there was no sweet potato soup to drink

At the position of the New 1st Regiment, the soldiers were nervously preparing for the attack.

Li Yunlong held a telescope in his hand and looked at the Japanese positions in the distance.

Suddenly, his sight fell on a small hill behind the Japanese position, where a thin antenna was swaying gently in the breeze.

An idea flashed through Li Yunlong's mind, and he slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Damn, isn't this the Japanese's headquarters? The law is so strict that nothing can escape it!"

He immediately turned around and said to the guard Hu Zi beside him:

"Huzi, please show me quickly if there is an antenna behind that small hill ahead."

Hu Zi took the telescope and looked according to Li Yunlong's instructions.

Not long after, he shouted excitedly: "Yes, Captain! There is indeed an antenna there!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong showed a smug smile on his face: "Tnnd, God really helps me! I didn't expect that old guy Sakata would dare to move the headquarters to the front line. This is simply courting death!

Since God has given me this opportunity, I will let that old guy Sakata have a taste of the power of the Shinichi Group!"

"Huzi, go find Wang Chengzhu for me right now. I have an important task for him!"

"Yes! Captain!" Hu Zi answered excitedly, then immediately turned around and trotted to find Wang Chengzhu.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, Wang Chengzhu was giving his small steel cannon the final wipe and inspection.

This mortar is the pride of the New 1st Regiment and their only heavy firepower equipment. Wang Chengzhu takes good care of it, just like his own baby.

Suddenly, Hu Zi ran over panting.

"Wang Chengzhu, the captain has something urgent to discuss with you, hurry!"

Wang Chengzhu immediately put down the cloth in his hand and followed Hu Zi to the front of the position.

Li Yunlong was standing on the position waiting for them to come.

"Zhu Zi, come here." Li Yunlong waved his hand to signal Wang Chengzhu to come closer.

Wang Chengzhu walked quickly to Li Yunlong and asked curiously, "Captain, what do you want from me?"

Li Yunlong did not answer directly, but pointed to the hill in front and said: "Zhu Zi, do you see the antenna behind that hill?"

Wang Chengzhu looked in the direction Li Yunlong pointed and saw that there was indeed an antenna faintly visible behind the hill.

"Captain, I saw it, there is indeed an antenna there."

"Zhu Zi, that antenna is the command post of the Sakata Brigade. Now, I want you to show your real ability and use your precious mortar to destroy the Sakata Brigade's command post for me! Is there any problem?"

After hearing Li Yunlong's order, Wang Chengzhu immediately put down the cloth in his hand, raised his hand and carefully glanced at the distance ahead.

"Captain, although I am confident, the range of our mortar is indeed limited. Judging from our current position, it will be difficult to directly hit Sakata's command post."

"Zhu Zi, don't worry, I'll take care of this problem. Wait a minute, I'll have the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment advance their positions to the front of the Japanese positions, so that your range will be enough and you'll be able to hit them."

After that, Li Yunlong encouraged him: "Zhu Zi, listen to me carefully. If you complete this mission, I will treat you to sweet potato wine when you return. That is the treasure of our group."

When Wang Chengzhu heard about the sweet potato soup, his eyes lit up immediately. He patted his chest excitedly and said:

"Captain, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"

"But Captain, I have one more thing to report to you."

"whats the matter?"

"Captain, we don't have many shells left. Only two are left."

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes widened: "Zhu Zi, you damn prodigal son, why don't you save money? You have squandered all my wealth."

Wang Chengzhu saw this and quickly defended himself, "Captain, you have to speak according to your conscience.

Who was it that just now kept saying that Zhuzi should destroy the Japanese's firepower points and machine guns?

Now we are running out of ammunition, you can't blame me, it's not me who asked to fight like this."

Wang Chengzhu looked at Li Yunlong with a face full of grievance.

After hearing what Wang Chengzhu said, Li Yunlong showed an awkward smile on his face.

He coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere, and then said to Wang Chengzhu:

"Zhu Zi, I was careless just now and forgot to explain the situation to you.

Don't take it personally. After this mission is completed, I will not only treat you to sweet potato stew, but I will also prepare a delicious roast chicken for you. Let's celebrate."

After hearing this, Wang Chengzhu showed an excited smile on his face. He patted his chest and said confidently:

"Captain, don't worry! I promise to hit accurately and fiercely. With just these two shells, I will definitely destroy Sakata's command post. Just wait and see!"

After Zhuzi left, Li Yunlong quickly walked to Zhang Dabiao and asked:

"Zhang Dabiao, how are the troops preparing?"

"Report to the commander, the troops are ready to attack at any time!"

"Okay! Zhang Dabiao, immediately order the troops to attack and advance 500 meters!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao answered loudly, then turned and shouted to the soldiers:

"Comrades! Let's charge the Japs! Push forward 500 meters!"

After hearing the order, the soldiers of the new regiment reinstalled the bayonets they had just removed on their guns.

"Bugler! Blow the bugle!" Zhang Dabiao ordered.

The bugler quickly picked up the charge and blew an inspiring blast.

"Drip drip..."

As the charge sounded, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment launched a fierce attack like a tiger descending from the mountain.

They shouted slogans and charged at the Japanese.

The Japanese were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army. They looked at each other in confusion:

"What's going on? We are the ones attacking, so why are the enemies launching a fierce charge towards us now?"

The Eighth Route Army soldiers came with great force, like a group of tigers descending from the mountains, and instantly broke through the Japanese defense line.

The Japanese camp suddenly fell into chaos and they resisted in a scrambled manner.

Zhang Dabiao took the lead, waving a big knife in his hand and rushing to the front.

He engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese devils. Every time he swung his sword, there was a whistling sound that broke through the air, which made the Japanese devils terrified.

Under his leadership, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were like sharp knives, piercing deep into the hearts of the Japanese devils.

Faced with the Eighth Route Army's desperate fighting style, the Japanese began to feel fear.

Under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, the Japanese began to retreat to the rear.

At Nobutsu Sakata's position, he looked at the chaotic situation in front of him and was shocked.

He turned to his adjutant and said, "Pu Youjun, what's wrong with the Eighth Route Army? They actually dared to take the initiative to attack. This is totally against common sense."

"Your Excellency, Commander, I don't know what the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the other side is thinking.

Does he think that he can defeat our Sakata Company with just such an attack? This is too naive. "

"Pu Youjun, no matter what the Eighth Route Army is up to, since they dare to take the initiative to attack, we cannot retreat. We must concentrate all our strength to destroy them in one fell swoop!"

"Hey! Your Excellency, the Captain!"

Pu You answered loudly, and then immediately began to organize troops to counterattack.

…………

At the position of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong looked ahead and saw the soldiers led by Zhang Dabiao advancing forward and successfully occupying the position 500 meters ahead.

He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Wang Chengzhu beside him and said:

"Zhuzi, now it's up to you. I have ordered the troops to advance the position 500 meters forward. You must ensure that the shells can accurately fall on Sakata's command post."

"Yes, leader!"

Wang Chengzhu quickly took two soldiers, carrying heavy mortars and ammunition boxes, crossed the 500-meter defense line that had just been occupied, and came to Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao saw them coming and immediately went to meet them: "Zhu Zi, from this position, can your mortar hit Sakata's command post?"

Wang Chengzhu quickly observed the surrounding environment, then nodded affirmatively: "Captain Zhang, no problem. This position is just right."

"Okay! Get ready quickly. The Japs will attack again soon."

Wang Chengzhu didn't say much and immediately started to get busy.

He skillfully set up the mortar and adjusted the angle of the gun to ensure that the shells could fly accurately to the target.

Then he carefully took a shell from the ammunition box and placed it steadily into the barrel.

The next second, the mortar made a crisp roar.

The shell ignited instantly inside the barrel and flew into the sky with a powerful impact force.

It drew a graceful arc in the air and rushed towards the command post of the Sakata Regiment.

Under everyone's watch, the shells accurately hit the small hill above the Sakata Regiment.

There was a loud bang, and flames and debris flew everywhere, blowing the surrounding trees and soil into pieces.

Li Yunlong was on the battlefield, holding the telescope tightly, his eyes fixed on the front, and witnessed everything.

"TND, Zhuzi, how did you fire the cannon? You wasted my cannonball!"

Wang Chengzhu took a look at the location where the shell fell, which was still some distance away from the Sakata Command Post.

He took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart: "I must hit it this time, I must hit it this time!"

He quickly adjusted the gun position, took out another shell from the shell box, and carefully placed it into the gun barrel.

Then, with a loud "bang", another artillery shell flew towards the Japanese command post behind the hill.

However, just as everyone was nervously waiting, the shell missed the target again and landed on the small hill nearby. Smoke and flames from the explosion rose up on the hillside.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "TND Pillar, what the hell are you doing! You didn't hit Sakata's command post with two consecutive shells, and you failed me at the critical moment!"

Zhuzi was filled with regret when he saw that both of his shells missed the target.

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing by, saw this and immediately said to Zhuzi:

"Zhu Zi, hurry up, don't stay here, the Japanese will kill us soon."

As he spoke, he pulled the pillar over, and the two of them quickly ran towards the trench.

Others followed closely behind, quickly retreating to the trenches carrying mortars and other equipment.

In the trench, Zhuzi still couldn't let go of his mistake.

He kept reflecting on why he missed the shot and whether something went wrong.

I usually shoot accurately, why did I make mistakes continuously today?

At this time, Li Yunlong ran over from the rear position, shouting as he ran:

"Zhuzi, what the hell is wrong with you! Two shells failed to destroy Sakata's command post. After the battle, you won't get any of the sweet potato yakiniku and roast chicken!"

Wang Chengzhu became even sadder after hearing what Li Yunlong said: "I am so pitiful. I can't eat sweet potato stew and roast chicken anymore."

…………

In Sakata's command post, Sakata Nobutsu was concentrating on watching the battle situation ahead.

Suddenly, two deafening explosions broke the silence.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing fear and disbelief.

The two shells landed only a few meters away from his command post, which made him feel a chill rising up his spine in an instant.

He never imagined that the Eighth Route Army could actually fire artillery shells near his headquarters.

At this moment, his heart was filled with gratitude, grateful that the two shells did not directly hit his command post, otherwise he would probably have died.

The reason why he dared to set up his headquarters at the front of the position was because he was confident that the Eighth Route Army was not threatened by artillery.

Seeing this, the adjutant Pu Youjun at the side immediately reminded nervously:

"Sir, the situation ahead is too dangerous. We must retreat to the rear immediately."

Sakata Nobutsu shook his head and said to his adjutant:

"Pu Youjun, don't be too nervous. The Eighth Route Army's mortars have just fired two shells, and neither of them hit our headquarters.

Now that our soldiers have taken over their previous position, I believe they will not have another chance to shoot in the short term."

After hearing Sakata Nobutsu's explanation, Pu You felt relieved a little.
