So, Captain Cui strictly ordered his subordinates to walk in front, and even personally shot and killed two soldiers who disobeyed orders.

In this way, the team began to move forward slowly again, and would not stop even if they stepped on a landmine in the middle of the journey.

Upon seeing this, Major Tanabe stood on tiptoe and patted Captain Cui on the shoulder, praising him a few words. This dog traitor was so happy that his face was full of smiles, and he almost wagged his tail at his master.

Just like that, when the Japanese army arrived at a river, they encountered another big trouble.

Originally there was a bridge on the river, but when their troops were preparing to cross the bridge, they found that the troops of the New 1st Regiment had already buried explosives on the bridge and blew it up in front of them.

After seeing this scene, Tianbian was immediately furious. He had no choice but to take a detour, which meant he had to walk at least ten more miles, wasting a lot of precious time.

Meanwhile, at the Nanji stronghold, Kong Hao also decided to fight a quick battle, so he prepared to take out his secret weapon.

He first handed the sniper rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition to Wang Xikui, the best sniper in the special operations team, and whispered:

"Xizi, I'm going to go to the conscienceless cannon later. This sniper rifle is temporarily given to you. Oh, and there are 200 rounds of special bullets."

"Later, you need to focus on sniping the Japanese machine gunners, grenade launchers, corporals, sergeants and other important targets. These people pose a greater threat to us."

"But you still have to be careful. With a semi-automatic rifle, you can fire at most three shots before you have to move. The old Japanese soldiers are good at shooting, so don't get yourself into trouble."

Wang Xikui finally got the sniper rifle he had always dreamed of. Even though it was only temporary, he was already overjoyed.

After he took it, he brought his observer to the sniper position chosen earlier. This position was about 200 meters away from the Japanese front line and could exert the maximum power of the SVD sniper rifle.

He first turned on the four-times magnification PSO-1 scope and adjusted the parameters of the sniper rifle. Then he looked at the Japanese position through the scope and found that the enemy two hundred meters away seemed to appear before his eyes.

Wang Xikui first aimed at a Japanese sergeant and decisively pulled the trigger. From the sight he clearly saw that the Japanese sergeant was hit in the chest by a bullet, and blood spurted all over the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

The SVD sniper rifle uses a special sniper bullet of 7.62*54 mm, which is much more powerful than the Japanese Type 6.5 rifle's 50* mm.

Just one bullet is enough to send a Japanese soldier away.

After firing the first shot, Xizi thought about loading the rifle and then killing the important target.

But he suddenly remembered that what he was holding in his hand was the most advanced semi-automatic rifle, which was completely different from the Type 38 rifle he had used before, and he didn't need to load the bullet at all.

He aimed at a Japanese machine gunner and pulled the trigger decisively, killing another Japanese soldier.

Seeing this, the Japanese assistant machine gunner wanted to take over the machine gun and continue shooting, but was shot in the head again.

"Great, it's really a peerless gun."

At this time, Wang Xikui simply loved this semi-automatic rifle. It was simply born for snipers like them.

However, he still remembered Kong Hao's instructions, and after firing three shots, he quickly moved his sniper position.

Over the next period of time, Wang Xikui designed a set of battlefield sniping tactics based on the characteristics of the semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand.

In fact, it is very simple. Just select three targets that are very close to each other, give priority to sniping the most important one, and then quickly fire two shots. Regardless of whether you hit them or not, you have to move your position.

However, with Wang Xikui's marksmanship and the superior performance of the SVD sniper rifle, he rarely fires a blank.

For a time, the Japanese grassroots commanders, light machine gunners and grenade throwers suffered heavy losses, and the front-line positions fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Yoshino had no choice but to transfer some elite veterans from the bunker to reinforce the frontline positions.

The Nanji stronghold has a defense system, and they must not let the frontline positions be lost, otherwise they will fall into a passive state.

As the second-in-command of Yamamoto's special forces, Yoshino has the authority to know that the Eighth Route Army has a mysterious weapon that can easily destroy their sturdy artillery towers.

If there were no positions outside, they would not be able to guarantee their own safety even if they hid in the artillery tower.

With no other choice, the Japanese could only choose to defend the front line, and not let the mysterious weapon get close to the stronghold at any cost.

On his side, Kong Hao had already arrived at the Unscrupulous Artillery position and was conducting the final debugging before firing with the technicians.

"Mr. Zhang, how are the preparations going here?"

"Captain Kong, to be honest, I'm not sure. This gasoline barrel cannon has completely overturned my understanding. There has never been such a thing in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad."

After hearing this, Kong Hao could only smile bitterly and said:

"It's not that we can't help it. Our Eighth Route Army is poor and doesn't even have the most basic machine tools. It's simply a fantasy to produce qualified artillery."

"After this kind of unscrupulous cannon is developed, it can greatly make up for the shortage of heavy weapons in our Eighth Route Army. After all, this thing is just a gasoline barrel and a few explosive packs, and many troops can use it."

"But its shortcomings are too obvious. The site is very limited, and there are usually only one or two firing opportunities. If we hadn't dug trenches for so long and used sharpshooters to suppress the enemy's machine gun and grenade launcher firepower, this battle would have been impossible to fight."

In fact, Kong Hao was also influenced by later film and television dramas and thought that the conscienceless cannon was an omnipotent weapon of mass destruction. However, when he actually studied it, he found that it was a big pit.

If any independent regiment had a mortar company, it would not choose to use this unscrupulous cannon, which has no accuracy, no range, and wastes a lot of gunpowder.

But then again, using heartless artillery to attack the enemy is definitely better than having the soldiers manually deliver explosive packs to blow up the Japanese bunkers under the enemy's hail of bullets.

"Engineer Zhang, let's test fire a conscienceless cannon and observe the effect."

"You must make it clear to the soldiers in charge of the operation that once the firing is completed, they should quickly hide in the cat-ear holes in the trenches to prevent the Japanese mortars and grenade launchers from launching retaliatory shells."

"For us, the lives of our soldiers are the most precious, but gasoline barrels and explosive packs can be mass-produced in the future."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away, just wait for my good news."

While the two were talking, at the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong met the person he least wanted to see at this moment.

"Commander, why are you here? It's dangerous here. You should stay at the regiment headquarters and wait for the good news of our victory."

After hearing this, Brigade Commander Chen did not say anything, but just kept looking at Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.

When the two of them were looking at him with fear, he said seriously:

"I will settle the matter between you three after this battle. Tell me about the situation on the battlefield first."

Li Yunlong felt relieved when he saw that the brigade commander looked normal. As for the subsequent settlement, he pretended not to hear it.

As long as he fought the battle well, the brigade commander wouldn't care about these things at all. If he seized a large amount of supplies, he might even treat him to a drink.
