Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

About twenty minutes later, Dongcun's men came to report:

"Captain, in the battle just now, our squadron lost 32 people and injured 22 people, including 8 seriously injured. In addition, three motorcycles and a military truck were destroyed."

Hearing this data, Captain Dongcun asked in surprise: "This is impossible. How can there be more casualties than wounded? According to common sense, the ratio of casualties to wounded should be one to three."

"Captain, we have counted twice, and there is no mistake. Many of the soldiers who died were shot in the head or vital parts. From this, it can be seen that our opponent's marksmanship is very good."

"Moreover, the enemy's ambush position is a full 150 meters away from us. Even our elite veterans can rarely hit accurately at such a long distance."

Nakamura quickly asked, "How many of the other side did we kill?"

"Not sure. When our people rushed over, they found nothing except some bullet shells. There was not even any blood on the ground indicating injuries."

"But the shells on the ground are 7.92mm Mauser rifle bullets. It has been confirmed that they are from the Chinese army."

As the two were talking, screams were heard again in the distance, and then the team they had chased into the woods before came out, supporting a dozen wounded people.

Nakamura walked forward and saw that the injured soldiers mostly had injuries on the soles of their feet, some on their left feet, some on their right feet, as if they were pierced by something, and their feet were all bloody and mangled.

Although this is considered a minor injury and not fatal on the battlefield, he will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield in a short period of time, and he will need special care, which will also waste a lot of medical supplies.

"What exactly is going on? How come so many people are injured in such a short time? And I haven't heard any gunshots yet. Tell me everything quickly."

Dongcun suppressed his anger. He had to figure out the current situation. The battle was in such a mess that he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. How should he explain this to the commander of the regiment?

If the two former captains of the Sakata Regiment knew about this, I wonder how they would laugh at the people from the Takahashi Regiment.

In fact, the internal situation of the Takahashi Regiment is not stable now. After all, the Regiment Commander Takahashi was airdropped in, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the previous captains. Captain Higashimura originally wanted to make a great contribution, but he did not expect such a result.

The team leader replied with a look of grievance: "Actually, until now, I don't know the specific situation. The attack happened from underfoot. The soldier accidentally stepped into a trap, and then his foot was blown to pieces."

"This is what we found in the trap. I think it should be helpful for our next action, so I brought it back."

Dongcun saw the crude device in his hand. There was an empty bullet shell on it. As for the bullet inside, he knew where it went without having to guess. There was also a faint smell of gunpowder inside.

The bullet shell was covered in blood, and underneath was an iron nail and a supporting wooden board. Such a simple device could cause such great damage to their soldiers. Their opponents were really terrible.

Next, apart from treating the wounded, Dongcun could only stay where he was and wait for the arrival of the main force.

When Captain Takahashi arrived with his large force, he was furious to see that his elite squadron had turned into such a horrible state.

He really wanted to lose his temper and severely punish the squadron leader, but this squadron leader was his confidant, so he was reluctant to do so. He could only scold him a few words and let it go.

But then he was cautious and sent the Imperial Army to clear the way. He would not feel sorry for any number of these cannon fodders dying.

The brigade commander of the Imperial Army was named Feng. When he received the order, he almost burst into cursing. This was obviously a suicidal thing, but it fell on the heads of these poor people.

However, even though he was cursing the Japanese's ancestors in his heart, Brigade Commander Feng still nodded and agreed on the surface.

He had no choice but to agree. If he dared to resist, he would probably not be able to leave the regiment headquarters. Even though his brigade had more than 3,000 people, their combat effectiveness was probably not even as good as that of a Japanese battalion.

In the minds of these puppet soldiers, with equal numbers, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese devils was greater than that of the Eighth Route Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was greater than that of their Imperial Army.

However, after Brigade Commander Feng returned to the headquarters, he regained his domineering side and issued the latest orders to his two regiment commanders.

At the same time, in order to be fair, the two regiment commanders will draw lots to see who has bad luck and will play as the vanguard for the entire brigade.

The one who was drawn this time was the head of the Second Regiment. He thought he was unlucky, but still asked unwillingly:

"Commander, what are the rules for our regiment? We can't just rush into the ambush position of the Eighth Route Army like the Japanese did. That would be too stupid."

Brigade Commander Feng thought about it carefully, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since Gao Qiao is using us as cannon fodder, there is no need for us to work so hard for them. We should delay this operation as long as possible. As soon as gunshots are heard or mines explode, we will all lie on the ground."

"We are not in a hurry anyway. It doesn't matter if it takes three or five days. The railway being attacked has nothing to do with us. We just want to make a living."

After hearing this, the two regiment commanders immediately went down to make arrangements. They, the Imperial Army, were very familiar with things like working without putting in effort. Now everything mattered most to save their lives.

Squad leader Zhou led his team members to hide in the woods. After climbing over a hill, they came to the place where they stored their bicycles and quickly headed to another node.

"Squad leader, how many enemies did we kill this time?"

Before squad leader Zhou could speak, another soldier quickly interrupted and said:

"I estimate there are more than 30. Just now, I fired ten shots and hit at least two of them. Before I retreated, I took a special look and saw that one of them was already dead."

"This is the third Japanese soldier I have killed, not counting the injured ones. This can be considered as bringing honor to my Chu family. If my father and mother knew that I killed so many Japanese soldiers, they would definitely be proud of me."

"And they can hold their heads high in the family. I guess when the family tree is revised in the future, my deeds will be recorded. This is a great honor, an honor that our branch has never had before."

The other soldiers were also discussing their recent achievements while riding their bikes. The main reason was that the battle was so exciting that it completely overturned their imaginations.

These dozen people were like assassins, lying in ambush in the wild, waiting for the enemy to approach them, and then suddenly launching an attack, killing enemies that were several times their number without even getting hurt themselves.

Of course, several soldiers fell during the retreat and got some scratches on their faces, but these are not counted.

When Squad Leader Zhou heard the chattering sounds in his ears, he felt very relieved. Everyone had been suppressed for too long. Now that they had won a victory, it was time for the soldiers to relax.

This kind of suddenness is what matters in field special operations. We utilize the team members' strong individual combat capabilities to launch sudden attacks, engage in only a few minutes of fire, and then leave after the fight, making it impossible for the enemy to find any trace of our team.

In fact, to be honest, this trick was learned from Yamamoto's special forces. The Independent Regiment was the biggest victim. The battle in Yangcun left a deep impression on all the veteran soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

Therefore, when Kong Hao was explaining this tactic, the people of the independent regiment learned it most seriously and understood it most thoroughly. After all, they had already paid the tuition for it.

Of course, if the enemy is just a small force, the special operations platoon will implement another tactic, which Kong Hao jokingly calls the "kite flying tactic."
