Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

The special forces did not really retreat, but they had no choice but to make way for the Japanese, giving them a chance to break out.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front were of course the ones who died the fastest.

"Turn to full auto and use up all the bullets!"

There was no need to save ammunition at this time. The special forces took turns shooting and used up the last magazine in just two minutes.

After running out of bullets, the special forces could only watch the Japanese flee in panic.

The puppet soldiers from Jinkou Village wanted to show off and immediately went to block the gap. Duan Peng shouted, "Going now is like going to die. You just stay here obediently!"

When the other puppet soldiers saw that the Japanese had opened a breakthrough, they all rushed forward.

The puppet army battalion commander was almost trampled to death by his own men just as he was about to stand up.

Coupled with the gunshot wound on his calf, he was unable to get up even if he wanted to retreat.

Dying, he could only watch the troops rush out. The only option left to him was to continue pretending to be dead and pray that the Eighth Route Army would not discover him when they were cleaning up the battlefield.

This ambush ended with the Japanese soldiers fleeing in panic.

Duan Peng brought the puppet troops from Jinkou Village to join the main force. Lin Qiang asked these puppet soldiers to lay down their guns, and then had someone take them over to stay with the surrendered puppet troops.

Unless time is tight, a row of soldiers have a habit when cleaning the battlefield, which is to make sure every Japanese soldier is dead.

This is done to avoid being attacked by the Japanese when you are not paying attention.

After the battle, the artillery rushed down to help clean up the battlefield.

This is a good job for the soldiers, as the Japanese have a lot of interesting things on them.

Cans, matches, cigarettes, and even leftover melon seed grenades.

The craters created by mortar fire in the woods now became the best place to dispose of the Japanese corpses.

It’s no problem to bury four or five Japanese soldiers in one bomb crater.

The others had to dig holes, after all, most of the Japanese were killed in this battle.

Lin Qiang suddenly stopped walking and slapped his forehead. "I'm so confused! Go and bring all those puppet soldiers with you. Let them dig the pit!"

This order was originally intended to allow the soldiers who had just finished fighting to take a break, but unexpectedly, the soldiers who were digging the pits were so happy that they rushed directly into the battlefield and rushed to clean up the battlefield.

"Haha, this is the third pack of cigarettes I've touched!"

"What's that to you? Look at these two in my hand. What are they?"

"I was wondering why I couldn't find them after searching for so long. It turns out both knives are in your hands!"

"Don't be envious. Look carefully, you might even find a few of the Major's swords."

The command knives of the two Japanese captains were real treasures in the eyes of the soldiers, more useful than a light machine gun.

This knife is the key to eating meat and drinking wine. Last time a monk got a major's knife, the reward he got was two cans of food and a bottle of sweet potato wine.

This is the Eighth Route Army soldiers' favorite reward. Nothing can make them happier than drinking wine, eating meat, and firing endless bullets.

Being well-fed and well-watered and having bullets means you can continue to kill the Japanese. Killing the Japanese will get you spoils of war and you can continue to receive rewards.

This is what Lin Qiang promised the soldiers: whoever gets better spoils will get better rewards.

There is a uniform measurement for each row. A pheasant neck can be exchanged for a can of meat and half a bottle of sweet potato wine. A heavy machine gun can be exchanged for five cans and a bottle of Fenjiu.

Anyone who can get a mortar can have meat and roast chicken.

No roast chicken?

Lin Qiang directly asked someone to go to the county town to buy it.

Since the military salaries could not be paid, no one in the row of soldiers cared about that stuff. If someone was short of money, as long as they asked, the soldiers would not be stingy and would give all the silver dollars they stole from the Japanese to the soldiers in need.

In fact, it’s not that soldiers don’t need money, but the war has made them lose their families. The only use of money for them is to give it to brothers in need.

Not to mention, this group of puppet soldiers dug the pits quite quickly, and some of them even took the initiative to move the Japanese corpses for disposal.

It took three hours to completely clean up the battlefield.

Of course, those that have already merged with the soil cannot be processed.

The team began to retreat, and Lin Qiang remembered the voice of the system in his mind.

[The battle has been detected and is under evaluation...]

【Assessment completed! 】

[Medium Battle, Casualty Ratio 132:2873]

[Trigger special circumstances and choose the following two rewards:

Reward 1: All items will be doubled, including buildings, base area, weapons and ammunition, various resources, and any team supplies!

Reward 96: 150 Type 10 5000mm Field Howitzers, 96 rounds of ammunition, 150 Type 1 1mm Field Howitzer manufacturing blueprint, 1 ammunition manufacturing blueprint, 20 artillery production workshop, 10 tons of various parts required for manufacturing, and tons of ammunition manufacturing materials!

How the hell should I choose?

This was the first voice that appeared in Lin Qiang’s mind after hearing the system reward.

Why do these two rewards appear at the same time? Why not one by one?

Type 96 150mm field howitzer, total weight 4140kg, barrel length 3252mm (23.6 times the caliber), 150mm caliber, vertical firing range -5° to +65°, horizontal firing range 15° to the left and right, maximum range 540 meters, muzzle velocity 3 meters/second, rate of fire 4- rounds/minute.

[Artillery Production Workshop: This workshop can be incorporated into the Arsenal, automatically expanding its internal space. It houses two production lines (for artillery and shells), utilizing a semi-automated production method. It comes with its own kinetic energy and generator fuel. With skilled workers, production can reach a rate of one artillery piece every two weeks, and 1 rounds of shells per day!]

After reading these introductions, Lin Qiang's heart was bleeding!

Truth is eternal, you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

After calming down, I should think about why the system triggers the reward option for special situations. I remember the last time it was triggered was when the team was planning to use the reward to ambush the Japanese in the early stages.

After choosing the reward and preparing for a battle with the Japanese, we were able to leave in the end. This was because the team was highly mobile and could relocate anytime and anywhere.

But now that we have a base, we can't just leave. We absolutely cannot abandon the arsenal, hospital, and super farmland.

The system giving such a reward this time can only mean one thing.

The devils are about to launch a large-scale war against the base area.

They may even intend to destroy the base in one fell swoop.

Unless it is a matter of life and death, the system will not give two rewards to choose from.

"System, this reward has been doubled. For example, can the arsenal be expanded directly, or can it be placed at any time like the previous one?"

[The doubled reward will appear directly, and the host cannot intervene! ]

The system's answer confirmed Lin Qiang's choice: "Choose reward two."

【Confirm whether to choose reward 2! 】

"I am sure!"

[Rewards: 96 Type 150 10mm Field Howitzers, 5000 rounds of ammunition, 96 Type 150 1mm Field Howitzer manufacturing blueprint, 1 ammunition manufacturing blueprint, 1 artillery production workshop, 20 tons of various parts required for manufacturing, and 10 tons of ammunition manufacturing materials!]

[The reward has been distributed to the system space, the host can check it by himself! ]
