Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Last night, Jiro Ono organized three suicide squads, trying to use the cover of darkness to launch a surprise attack on the positions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but they all ended in failure.

Instead, at three or four in the morning, when people were most sleepy, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's commandos raided the front-line positions and completely destroyed the Japanese mortar positions.

When Xiaoye heard the news early in the morning, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He asked someone to find the person who was in charge of the guard last night, gave him a scolding, and finally gave him the opportunity to commit seppuku to apologize.

Ichiro Inoue frowned, and he began to regret cooperating with Jiro Ono to start this war.

After a day of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties and failed to even reach the enemy's position.

Now they finally understood that without the fire support of airplanes and artillery, it would be a dream to defeat the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

He has already begun to think about quitting.

Just when he couldn't find a reason to speak, a telegram came from the Taiyuan headquarters.

Jiro Ono just took a look and threw it to the ground.

The subordinate picked up the telegram and handed it to Ichiro Inoue. After taking a closer look, he found that it was an order issued by Commander Yoshio Shinozuka himself, ordering them to withdraw from the battle with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army as quickly as possible.

They also demanded that an envoy be sent to the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to apologize afterwards.

Now he finally understood why Ono angrily threw away the telegram. Apologizing to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was a death order given to Ono by the commander.

Fortunately, I was not asked to apologize.

This is not only a sign of weakness, but also a very shameful thing.

At least that's what the Japanese think.

The Japanese began to withdraw, which surprised Chu Yunfei a little. He had already prepared for a counterattack and a protracted war. He even stayed up all night last night thinking about the next plan to fight the enemy.

"Pass on my order. No one is allowed to pursue the devils. Anyone who disobeys will be punished by military law!"

As soon as Chu Yunfei issued a military order, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment who were ready to move calmed down and watched the Japanese retreat from their positions.

He also received a telegram from Chongqing.

He took it from Fang Ligong, took a quick look, and sneered, "Ridiculous! Absurd!"

Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong with a cold gaze and said in a chilling tone, "Brother Ligong, do you think it is necessary to carry out the orders of the superiors?"

Fang Ligong dared not say a word.

"Humph!"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said, "How's the investigation going? Have you figured out why the Japanese launched a war against our base?"

"I am incompetent and have not yet found out the purpose of the Japanese launching this war."

"Keep checking!"

Chu Yunfei shouted loudly, and an invisible pressure spread out from his body. He said sternly: "If you can't find out, go back to where you came from! My 358th Regiment does not need incompetent people!"

Chu Yunfei said this very subtly, giving Fang Ligong some face in front of his men and not saying those two words directly.

……

After walking through the jungle for a distance, there was a hilly area ahead, without the cover of trees.

In desperation, Lin Qiang could only lead the team out of the woods and march along the most concealed route possible.

Despite this, the team encountered a small group of Japanese soldiers before reaching the next village.

"Platoon leader, there's a Japanese escort team ahead. They're small in number, and we don't see any machine guns."

Lin Qiang asked the team to hide and followed Hu Zi to check the situation.

When we reach a hill, we can see everything clearly without the help of a telescope.

This was a team consisting of five Japanese devils and more than a dozen puppet soldiers, escorting defeated prisoners.

"Where are the devils going to send people in this remote place?"

This was also the doubt in Lin Qiang's mind. The Japanese's advance route was exactly opposite to that of the team, and there was a mountain range ahead.

Hu Zi asked doubtfully again, "Could it be that the Japs are choosing a good Feng Shui location for them?"

He himself didn't believe what he said. Given the cruel methods of the Japanese, the best outcome for a prisoner was to keep his body intact.

Lin Qiang thought for a moment and said, "In my opinion, there is only one possibility for the Japanese to bring these prisoners of war to this place, and that is to use them to achieve a certain goal."

Lin Qiang didn't dare say it was biological warfare because he was worried that it would cause unnecessary panic.

Besides, he had no evidence, so it was hard to say whether it was not specifically used to train the Japanese in killing techniques. Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team used fighting with prisoners of war to train new recruits.

It doesn’t matter what the Japanese’s purpose is. What matters is that Lin Qiang has taken a fancy to these escorted prisoners of war.

The team is currently short of manpower, and now is a good opportunity to expand the force.

Moreover, he also saw a very familiar figure among these prisoners of war, but it only flashed by and he was a little uncertain.

Having followed Lin Qiang for many years, Hu Zi could guess what the platoon leader wanted to do with just a glance, and immediately said, "Platoon leader, have Hu Zi cooperate with me to attack from both sides. Kill those devils first. As soon as the gunfire comes, the remaining devils will not pose a threat."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The Japs are now resting, with only a few puppet soldiers on guard duty, and their location happens to be a depression.

With the right time, place and people, there is no way a surprise attack will fail.

It only took a few minutes for Hu Zi and Qiang Zi to capture the escort team. According to the rules of the first row, no Japanese prisoners were taken.

More than a dozen puppet soldiers surrendered quickly without any resistance at all, and Hu Zi spared their lives.

After the raid, Lin Qiang ordered the prisoners to be moved together.

After running for about two kilometers, the team stopped.

Lin Qiang immediately looked for the familiar figure among the prisoners of war. When he saw a shiny bald head, the joy in his heart could not be expressed in words.

Unexpectedly, Monk Wei was actually in the team.

At this time, Monk Wei was given special care by the Japanese. Not only was he tied together with other prisoners of war, but his hands were also tied with iron chains. No matter how powerful he was, he could not break free.

[The battle has been detected and the system is determining...]

[Battle damage ratio 0:5, micro-battle, host obtains the Eye of Insight, new recruit quick training manual!]

[Eye of Insight: The host can check the loyalty of his subordinates at any time! ]

New Soldier Speed Training Manual: This manual contains a variety of efficient training methods for physical fitness, combat, shooting, tactical execution, and more. With the help of this manual, you can greatly shorten the training time of new recruits and improve training effectiveness! (Note: Training results will vary depending on individual physical fitness, comprehension ability, and other factors.)

There were no weapons or other supplies as rewards this time, but Lin Qiang was still very satisfied with the two rewards, especially the Eye of Insight, which was very important to him.

As the team expands in the future, we will recruit people from all walks of life, and it is inevitable that there will be people with ulterior motives. With the Eye of Insight, we don’t have to worry about such people at all, and we can eliminate any threats to the team.

The quick training manual for new recruits is also extremely important. In addition to teamwork on the battlefield, personal combat skills are also very important. In times of war, the Japanese will not provide new recruits with a stable training environment.

He was very satisfied with the gains from this raid, not to mention the unexpected surprise of Monk Wei.

Lin Qiang found the key from the devil and unlocked the shackles on Monk Wei.

It was also very uncomfortable for the monk to maintain a posture for a long time. Without the restraints, he immediately stretched his muscles.

After all, he is a martial artist. Just a few movements can make his joints and bones crack.

The monk was a man of great temperament. After the activity, he immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for saving me, brother."

Lin Qiang waved his hand and smiled, "You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

At this time, the monk put away his smile and said with a little embarrassment: "Brother, can you lend me a gun? I want to go find my old team."

I don't know what caused the plot to change, but now that you're in my hands, how can I let you fly away?

I don’t know how many people feel regretful about the death of Monk Wei, and the same is true for Lin Qiang.

If he had not been ambushed by bandits, it would be hard to imagine what Li Yunlong's future would have been.

It is very intuitive to say that Monk Wei was willing to join the Eighth Route Army all because of Li Yunlong. He only admired Li Yunlong. Military discipline was not as effective to him as Li Yunlong's words.

How could Lin Qiang let such a talent go? He immediately started to deceive him: "Looking at the military uniform on you, you should be from the Central Army. Your team was broken up by the Japanese, and it will be difficult to find you now. Why don't you follow me? What do you think?"
