Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

"Platoon leader, a large number of Japanese soldiers are retreating in the direction of Hu Zi and his men!"

If we were to say where the pressure is the least right now, it would be where Lin Qiang is on the front battlefield. It is also the place where the military force is the weakest.

It is the place where the encirclement is easiest to break through, but the prerequisite is that the Japanese can rush here.

After killing a Japanese soldier with one shot, Lin Qiang returned the Garand to the monk, picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order to open fire to the artillery position.

A new round of bombing began. Yamamoto Ikki subconsciously looked up, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any shells falling. His heart finally settled down.

The whistling sound of the shells also caught the attention of Yamano Heiji. Unlike Yamamoto, he thought the shells were not aimed at him.

The result is……

One after another, 105mm howitzers fell into the Japanese troops, blowing up a large area.

The blood mist even covered the stirred dust at that moment, and the bright red color looked particularly eye-catching.

The impact point was only two or three hundred meters away from the sniper position, which was very dangerous for Hu Zi and his men.

Sometimes the shells fell too close, and although they did not cause any substantial harm to the soldiers, tinnitus and temporary deafness were unavoidable.

How many people are there in a battalion of Japanese soldiers?

After one round of bombing, less than one-third of the team remained.

With overwhelming bullet suppression in front and devastating howitzer bombardment behind, Yamano Heiji, who had luckily survived, lay on the ground, completely ignoring his dusty appearance, and instantly stood up and retreated.

When he was escaping, he did not forget to call the team together. Facing the hail of bullets and artillery bombardment, he led the team back to the starting point.

Although Yamamoto was under great pressure and was attacked from three sides, the team's losses were not too great.

On the other hand, there was originally one battalion of troops left on Yamano Heiji's side, but under his wise and brave command, there were less than three hundred people left.

There were some half-dead wounded soldiers along the way, about three or four hundred in total.

When he came back, Kong Jie had a new goal.

The previous group of Japanese soldiers were either killed or escaped, and before we had used up many bullets, the Japanese soldiers were killed first.

I haven’t even finished a pack of cigarettes yet, and now I’m back to work again!

"Brothers, the devils are coming again!"

The second battalion commander shouted and opened fire without waiting for Kong Jie's order.

The battalion commander was not willing to fall behind, and ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to open fire at full power and throw grenades like they were free.

Wang Qiang and Wu Zhe, who were arranged on the left and right wings of Lin Qiang, were itching to take action. They only had a chance to do so when the Japanese charged for the first time. After that, Lin Qiang gave the order to stop shooting.

The most exciting thing was Kong Jie's New Second Regiment. Although Xu Lang was lying in ambush opposite Kong Jie, Lin Qiang's order was that he could only shoot when necessary.

Xu Lang is a smart man and knows what platoon leader means.

When he was in the county town, he was a popular figure among the Japanese. He also knew about Yamamoto Ikki's sneak attack on the Independent Regiment. Kong Jie came this time to release the resentment that had been pent up in his heart.

But it really makes me feel itchy that I can only watch and not do anything.

"Captain, this little devil isn't as evil as they say!"

A soldier lay down beside Xu Lang and said, "Captain, look, the Japs don't stand a chance of resistance. The ruffian really lied to me. The Japs' fighting power is not that strong at all!"

From the soldier's words, we can tell that he is a new recruit and this is definitely his first time participating in a battle.

Xu Lang corrected his mistake and said, "Remember this: never underestimate your opponent, even if he looks weak!"

"The Japanese were suppressed this time because we were well prepared and had strong firepower. Not all teams are like us. If another team were to fight this battle, you would know how strong the Japanese are and how much your team would have to pay to win the battle!"

"I know, Captain!"

The soldier learned his lesson and put away his contempt, but the smile on his face did not diminish: "Captain, look, the Japs are about to die!"

If there were no orders, the soldiers would have wanted to shout to express their joy.

"Captain, we've been watching for so long, when will it be our turn to kill the devils?"

The soldier from before said, "If we keep fighting like this, all the Japanese will be killed. We can't just sit there and watch the show, right?"

Watching a play is certainly fun, but it’s never as satisfying as participating in it yourself!

They have been lying in ambush for so long, but they haven't fired a single shot. Their bullets are almost moldy!

Xu Lang said calmly, "Why rush? Even though the battle looks like it will be over soon, just wait. The real battle is still to come!"

Xu Lang knew the nature of the Japanese very well. It was impossible for him not to request support in this situation. It was estimated that it would not be long before the Japanese reinforcements arrived.

By then, they will be busy!

If it is a skirmish, the battlefield is usually cleaned up quickly after the fight, and then retreat before the Japanese reinforcements arrive.

This battle was different, the first platoon could not retreat.

In other words, no matter how many reinforcements the Japanese send, the last line of defense is to retreat to the base for defense.

The worst outcome was that Lin Qiang ordered the destruction of all supplies and facilities that could not be taken away from the base, and the team assisted the entire population in retreating.

But this kind of thing will never happen. First of all, Li Yunlong will never let any problems occur in the first row of bases. If this happens, his first order will be to let the entire regiment reinforce Lin Qiang.

The new group will also come to help uninvited, not to mention Chu Yunfei who likes to help out.

Unlike Xu Lang and the others who were just watching the show, Kong Jie and his team were the protagonists of the show. They used all kinds of means, and there were only a few devils left among Yamano Heiji and his men.

Even Yamano Heiji himself was seriously injured. Bullets pierced his shoulder and thigh, making it completely impossible for him to escape.

At this time, Yamano Heiji began to think about surrendering. He knew that the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners well, and he could not only survive, but also have the possibility of returning to the island safely.

Especially when he saw that Yamamoto Ikki's position was not attacked at all, and that his life would be in danger if he had been a little later, Yamano Heiji's desire to surrender became stronger and stronger.

As several shells fell, the threat of death enveloped them all. Yamano Heiji seemed to see the terrifying and sinister smile of the Soul Catcher from Hell in the smoke.

"what!!!"

Yamano Heiji let out a long howl, madly, struggling, and in pain.

"Raise the white flag, let's...surrender!"

After saying this, Yamano Heiji seemed to have all his strength drained away and collapsed to the ground.

But what he heard next gave him a new lease of life.

"Sir Shanye, we are not afraid of death!"

"Don't lose the dignity of the imperial soldiers just to protect us. We will never surrender!"

Yamano Heiji roared, "Baka! This is an order!"

As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.

The remaining Japanese soldiers became dejected after hearing this. They would rather die in battle than be captured. This was their self-esteem.

A white flag waved slowly in the air, and more than 200 Japanese soldiers, including Yamano Heiji, dropped their guns and armor and raised their hands to surrender.

This scene made Kong Jie feel a little embarrassed. He knew that Lin Qiang would not accept prisoners and knew the good style of the first platoon.

But he couldn't, or he didn't dare.

Kong Jie hesitated, but someone was very decisive.

After Xu Lang saw the devils surrender, he immediately gave the order: "Brothers, if the devils dare to come out, aim and kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lang aimed his gun at Shanye Pingzhi. As long as Kong Jie accepted their surrender, he would shoot without hesitation.

The soldier beside him reminded him, "Captain, the Japanese surrendered to Captain Kong and are not our prisoners. If we take action, Captain Kong will blame us later..."

"I'll take it all on my own!"

Xu Lang stared at Shan Ye Pingzhi, his finger moving back and forth on the trigger: "I can't care less now. As long as Captain Kong accepts the devil's surrender, I will shoot!"

"Why can the Japs fight when they want to and not fight when they don't want to?"

"Why can the Japanese, after wreaking havoc on the people, surrender without any consequences?"

"Why should the devils be treated preferentially just because they surrender?"

"This is all fucking bullshit!"

"Kill someone and pay with your life, and pay your debts. These eight words have been the rule since ancient times!"
