Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Xiaowangzhuang.

In order to train the soldiers while ensuring that they would not get injured, Lin Qiang came up with a solution.

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a straw boat, and now there is Lin Qiang borrowing bullets from his dead body.

To put it simply, they stripped the corpses left behind by the Japanese soldiers, propped them up with wood, and made the Japanese soldiers mistakenly think that they were charging towards them.

After a few rounds, the Japanese had very little ammunition left. Without logistical supplies, they were forced to fight with bayonets.

However, Lin Qiang would definitely not do as they wished, and immediately ordered the team to advance in a three-three formation.

Kong Jie also witnessed the power of this tactic. He wanted to speak several times but couldn't.

After some mental struggle, Kong Jie finally gave up, and gave himself the reason that it was impossible for you, Kong Jie, to take all the good things.

The ammunition was running out. The Japanese without bullets were like poisonous snakes without fangs. They couldn't kill people, but they were disgusting.

The soldiers chose their targets independently and had a one-on-one duel with the Japanese.

The Japs have undergone rigorous training, and their individual combat capabilities are not bad, but the soldiers in a row have received more rigorous training than them, and their individual combat capabilities are stronger!

Most of the new recruits had already simulated the battle hundreds of times on the training ground, just waiting to fight the Japanese with real guns and swords.

Now is the opportunity to test themselves. Every soldier does not want to lose face in front of the platoon leader, so they are ruthless when killing the Japanese.

But Lin Qiang felt that it was not cruel enough. If he had enough time, Lin Qiang believed that torturing the devil slowly was better than killing him with one blow.

Being injured was inevitable, but fortunately with the help of veterans, no soldier was in danger of life when fighting with the Japanese with bayonets.

The battle has basically come to an end at this point.

The battlefield was cleaned up inside and out. While one side was still fighting the Japanese with bayonets, the other side had already started burying the Japanese bodies.

An hour later.

As the last Japanese soldier, Big Eye, fell, the battle was completely over.

I don’t remember how many Japanese soldiers were killed, but there were more than a hundred soldiers sacrificed in one row!

Among them, the position where Hu Zi and Qiang Zi were located suffered the greatest casualties, with a total of 54 people killed, 39 people slightly injured, and 11 people seriously injured.

The second was Xu Lang's team. Yamamoto Ikki's special forces team fought desperately to break out, resulting in 14 soldiers being killed on the spot, 7 soldiers unfortunately died on the way back to the base, 3 were slightly injured, and 16 were seriously injured!

There were also some soldiers killed or wounded in the other positions.

The New Second Regiment killed an unknown number of enemies, lost 56 men, and injured more than 130.

This is the price of war.

Seeing Lin Qiang's gloomy face, Kong Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at it calmly. In previous battles, our casualty ratio with the enemy was 5 to 1. This is already the victory with the smallest casualty ratio since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War."

"That's not enough!"

Lin Qiang exhaled and said, "Originally, I wanted to end the battle with zero casualties."

Zero casualties can be achieved.

But the price is that it is impossible to completely wipe out the enemy.

Without Hu Zi and his men blocking the Japanese's retreat, at least half of them would have fled the battlefield.

While the two were talking, Xu Lang was wearing casual clothes, had no gun on him, and came to Lin Qiang with his head lowered.

"Platoon leader, punish me!"

When Yamamoto Ikki was surrounded, Lin Qiang reminded each team many times to be careful of the special forces' surprise attack.

Especially the position where Xu Lang is located is the closest and easiest to break through.

But despite Xu Lang's full preparation, a negligence led to Yamamoto Ikki and his special forces' successful breakout.

At the same time, his negligence resulted in the sacrifice of soldiers, which could have been avoided.

Kong Jie found an excuse to leave, and only Lin Qiang and Xu Lang were left in the temporary command post.

It would be a lie to say that Xu Lang was not to blame. Lin Qiang had repeatedly stressed the need to be careful, but in the end, an accident still happened.

Yamamoto Ikki's escape was inevitable. Lin Qiang knew this when he realized why the Japanese were charging. It was also his fault.

Lin Qiang was angry about the sacrifice of the soldiers. They should have enjoyed the joy of victory together.

"This is not your fault."

Lin Qiang said softly, "If I had seen the devil's intention earlier, there wouldn't be any casualties."

"Platoon leader, I..."

Lin Qiang interrupted, "In war, there will be sacrifices. This is inevitable. Now that it has happened, the only thing we can do is to ensure that the soldiers' sacrifices are not in vain."

"I have a mission for you. I want you to see a martyrs' cemetery within one day. Can you do it?"

Xu Lang stood at attention and said, "Yes!"

After Xu Lang left, the signalman came to report: "Report to the platoon leader, the regimental headquarters called and the commander is on the way."

"okay, I get it."

Lin Qiang was not surprised by Li Yunlong's reasoning. Instead, what was most surprising was that he did not come.

If you don't take advantage of the benefits, you are a bastard.

This is Li Yunlong's motto.

The regiment headquarters was some distance away from the base, and it was estimated that by the time Li Yunlong arrived, the troops had withdrawn from their positions.

What Lin Qiang has to do now is to put the howitzer back into the system space.

It’s not that he was worried about being targeted by Li Yunlong, but that he was worried about being targeted by the Japanese bombers.

If there is a surprise attack in the middle of the night, the losses will be huge.

I don’t know how Duan Peng’s mission is going.

Kong Jie originally wanted to visit the first row of bases, but when he heard that Li Yunlong was about to arrive, he immediately changed his mind and led the team back to the New Second Regiment’s base.

And promised Lin Qiang that he would do it again next time.

Cleaning up the battlefield is a physically demanding job. Lin Qiang didn't want the base to be enveloped in a foul odor in the future, so the Japanese corpses were buried together.

As for those fragments, Lin Qiang had no way to deal with them. The only way was to ignore them.

It took a full hour just to bury the bodies. The soldiers who vomited had become completely accustomed to it and could remain calm.

When they returned to the base, Zhang Yuntian told Lin Qiang that the regiment commander Li Yunlong had been waiting for a long time.

After a quick cleanup, Lin Qiang went straight to meet the regiment commander Li Yunlong.

As soon as the two met, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to ask, "Good boy, what good stuff did you get this time?"

"Nothing."

Lin Qiang replied, "The captured supplies were all taken away by the New Second Regiment."

"You let me?"

"Yes, I let you."

Li Yunlong slammed the table in anger, stood up, and cursed with wide eyes: "Damn it, you prodigal son, such a large amount of supplies, you just give it away!?"

"No, I can't let Kong Erlangzi get such a big advantage for free. I have to ask him for half of it back!"

Hearing this, Lin Qiang didn't make any move. He just slowly stretched out three fingers and said, "Three infantry guns, three mortars, three basic shells, and three Type 3 rifles."

Li Yunlong's attitude did a complete 360-degree turn, and he said with a smile, "If I ask for something back after giving it away, it will ruin my reputation, Li Yunlong, if it gets out."

"Forget it, Kong Erlangzi's life is not easy either, so just think of it as me, an old comrade, helping him!"

Lin Qiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Captain, that's not what you just said!"
