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

Squad leader Wang patted his chest and said, "Captain, don't worry. Our shooting skills are absolutely top-notch. If the shells I fire are intended to hit the left side of the enemy's tent, they will never hit the right side."

After that, he fine-tuned the mortar and whispered:

"Ready the shells!"

A mortar shell was taken directly from the ammunition box and handed over after being equipped with a fuse.

Then, with a whoosh sound, two shells were fired directly and landed in the Japanese military camp less than a minute later. As luck would have it, the shells landed exactly where the Japanese stored supplies, and the high-explosive shells caused a fire immediately after they exploded.

Then there was rapid mortar fire, and in less than two minutes, all the shells were fired.

"Done, retreat quickly."

After saying this, several artillerymen quickly disassembled the mortar into parts, each carrying one part and quickly evacuated. They had practiced this tactic countless times and it had been ingrained in their bones.

Moreover, all the shells they brought had been used up, so there was a lot less burden, and the evacuation speed was three times faster than usual.

The soldiers on duty hiding in the position heard the explosion coming from the direction of the Japanese position and immediately cheered. After all, seeing the Japanese in trouble was something that everyone liked to see.

But everyone was only happy for a moment, and then went on to do what they were supposed to do. These were just small scenes.

On the contrary, the Japanese were in bad luck. Twenty high-explosive shells not only destroyed one of their material warehouses and caused a fire, but also accidentally killed the captain of the 2nd Battalion of the Ito Regiment and several combat staff officers.

It was a coincidence that the captain of the second brigade connected the brigade headquarters tent with the material storage tent. This was a lucky break and he got an unexpected surprise.

After our shelling ended, Lieutenant Commander Ito quickly ordered a squadron to search in the direction where the shells came from. Unexpectedly, they stepped on the mines we had buried when we retreated, and lost more than a dozen people. They no longer dared to pursue in the dark.

After final statistics, the shelling killed more than 40 Japanese soldiers, including a captain of the enemy battalion, and also destroyed a large amount of their logistical supplies. The results of the battle were still brilliant.

All we paid was twenty shells and a lot of strength, so it was a huge profit no matter how you look at it.

By the way, in order to vent his anger, Captain Ito ordered the mountain artillery squadron to launch retaliatory shells at our positions.

This old man was very mean. He decided that since they couldn't get a good rest, then no one should sleep, so that they would be even.

Faced with this situation, we had actually been prepared for a long time. Our positions had been built over ten days, with a large number of anti-artillery fortifications constructed, and key locations were reinforced with steel bars and cement.

Not to mention this kind of aimless blind firing, even if we give the Japanese artillery enough time during the day, with their 75mm mountain cannon, no matter how many shells they consume, they will not be able to deal a devastating blow to our core positions. This is also the reason why Li Yunlong dared to fight against a field brigade of the Japanese.

In this way, a night passed. Except for the first time when we took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and achieved remarkable results, the remaining three times were just mediocre. The night's artillery bombardment killed a total of 103 Japanese casualties and destroyed a batch of supplies.

However, the Japanese soldiers did not get a good rest for the whole night and their morale was extremely low, so our goal was achieved.

The next morning, in order to take revenge, Regiment Commander Ito ordered a battalion to attack the position of the first battalion, and at the same time ordered the artillery to continuously bombard our defensive facilities.

However, facing a well-equipped, well-trained battalion with strong fortifications, this level of attack had basically no effect. The 75mm mountain artillery shells hit the fortifications built of reinforced concrete, and at most created a big hole. Apart from that, it had basically no significant impact.

The tentative attacks of the Japanese infantry were also easily resolved by us, and we used our firepower advantage to kill and wound a large number of soldiers. This also made the people of Ito's regiment realize that the enemy in front of them was a tough nut to crack, not the weak unit they had encountered before.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese had no good solution. Their regiment currently had more than 3,100 people, which seemed to be a large number, but facing this level of fortifications, they seemed a bit overwhelmed.

Even if their mountain artillery shells were smoking, the damage to us was still limited. The soldiers who charged desperately were killed in large numbers by our precision shooters and light and heavy machine guns.

In this way, the Japanese charged five or six times, suffering more than 500 casualties, and finally figured out the distribution of light and heavy machine guns in our troops' front-line positions, but it was of little use.

First of all, our heavy machine guns have special fortifications that can defend against direct bombardment from the Japanese Type 75 infantry guns and mm mountain guns. As for light machine guns, there are also several firing positions, which can be changed at any time during battle.

The biggest threat to our light machine guns is the Japanese grenade launchers, but our troops are equipped with a large number of grenade launchers. Although we cannot catch up with the Japanese elite veterans in technology, we can make up for it with numbers. If a single one is not enough, we can use two to fight one and win by numbers.

As long as we can win, who cares if it sounds bad to outnumber the enemy?

In addition, the Japanese grenade launchers had many combat objectives, while ours were much more pure, focusing on killing the enemy grenade launchers and bombarding the enemy infantry at the same time.

We also have 60mm mortars, which are specifically designed to target the Japanese grenade launchers, making the attacking Japanese suffer terribly.

The battle lasted until the afternoon. The Japanese soldiers of Ito's regiment did not gain any advantage, but instead lost a large number of troops.

With no other options, Captain Ito could only order his soldiers to stop the attack and wait for the arrival of the main force of the brigade. Only heavy artillery and aircraft could completely destroy the solid position before them.

In this way, the enemy and our side tacitly agreed not to launch another attack, and instead rescued each other's wounded. However, the difference between the two sides could be seen from the way they handled the situation.

We performed surgery immediately to remove the bullets or shrapnel from the wounded, and after carefully bandaging them, we sent a special transport team to take them to the rear hospital for recuperation. Even the soldiers who had a bullet hole in their arms and were slightly injured were taken away.

There was even a soldier whose head was only slightly scratched by a shell. Although he bled a lot and his injury looked serious, he was fine after the bleeding stopped. However, he was forcibly sent to a hospital in the rear by the company commander and then returned directly to the base.

Our soldiers are very valuable now. Any injuries that may have an impact on their future must be treated in time and must not leave any sequelae.
