Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

There was about a battalion of Japanese cavalry, and the two sides always kept a distance between them.

As long as the Japanese slowed down a little, Feng Deshun would slow down and use his gun to provoke them.

In this way, the Japanese cavalry was successfully lured into the encirclement.

Li Yunlong almost drooled as he watched the Japanese cavalry battalion charging forward.

As soon as the cavalry passed, a defense line consisting of two companies was quickly deployed, not only to block the Japanese infantry, but also to prevent the Japanese cavalry from escaping.

Li Yunlong found the company commander and gave him an order: "I'll leave this place to you. Don't lose our independent regiment!"

"Don't worry, Captain. I promise we'll fight with all our might!"

After the order was given, Li Yunlong left the position and returned to the Xiaowangzhuang command post.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei also took the same action as him.

The scene of the cavalry charge was indeed spectacular, but facing the fire from light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers could only lose their lives and fall on the way of the charge.

It seems that the cavalrymen all have their own pride and would rather die on the way to charge than retreat because of the powerful firepower.

After Feng Deshun's troops withdrew from the battlefield, Lin Qiang ordered his troops to open fire at full force.

After just one round of strafing, only a few Japanese soldiers in a cavalry battalion were left.

Feng Deshun hurried over, but before he could say anything, he heard Lin Qiang say, "I won't say the same thing again. Follow your orders."

"Yes!"

The cavalry company left their position almost every few steps, looking back and leading their horses back to the base in the rear.

On the battlefield, the Japanese cavalry battalion commander waved his command knife in anger and cursed.

"What the hell is that bastard yelling about?"

Lin Qiang was concentrating on observing the situation on the battlefield, and was startled when he suddenly heard this familiar voice.

"Captain? You're not at the battlefield, what are you doing here?"

Li Yunlong chuckled, "You're a smart guy. You knew to raise the muzzle a little higher so as not to hurt the horse. You're worthy of being a soldier led by Li Yunlong. Even in battle, you never forget to think about your old unit."

"That's great! With these horses and equipment, my cavalry company can be expanded into a cavalry battalion!"

Before he finished speaking, Ding Wei and Kong Jie walked in at the same time.

"Old Ding, are you convinced now?"

Kong Jie said with a hint of pride: "I told him that Li Yunlong had arrived a long time ago, but you refused to believe me. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he wouldn't be called Li Yunlong!"

"Old Li, let me tell you the truth!"

Ding Wei said, "I can give you the cavalry camp in Wanjia Town, but don't even think about taking all the horses and equipment for yourself!"

"that is!"

Kong Jie acted as if no one wanted it and said, "I'm going to say this today. If you want to keep it all to yourself, no way. At worst, I can tell the brigade commander that none of us three will have a chance to have it!"

Li Yunlong frowned. It was rare to see him begging for help. "The good stuff is all in the back. Why are you trying to snatch it from me?"

When gods fight, mortals stand aside.

Lin Qiang did not participate in the fight between the three people at all. He did order the horses to be protected as much as possible.

The independent battalion does not need it, but other brother units must be considered.

Like the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, having a cavalry team can increase the combat effectiveness several times, and the role it can play in wartime is huge.

The only thing he wanted was to take a fancy to a few good horses, but the current situation seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In other words, Li Yunlong said something fair: "Why are you two blowing your noses and glaring at me? These Japanese cavalry were lured here by the Independent Battalion, and the Japanese were also eliminated by the Independent Regiment. Logically speaking, these horses belong to Lin Qiang. You two didn't do anything, so why are you asking for them?"

"Is it because you, Kong Erlangzi, have a big face, or is it because you, Ding Wei, have a pretty face?"

This sentence calmed the two regiment commanders down. Indeed, it was Lin Qiang who killed the devil, and the spoils should belong to Lin Qiang. They seemed to take it for granted.

At this moment, Lin Qiang said: "The battle is over, the Japanese lost less than one-third of their horses!"

"Great!"

Li Yunlong was very excited and said, "Go, bring all the horses and equipment to me!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Kong Jie was unhappy and said, "Li Yunlong, you just said it should be Lin Qiang's spoils of war, why are you trying to snatch it away from you now? Besides, Lin Qiang is no longer a soldier in your independent regiment. What gives you the right to do so?"

"Why should I?"

Li Yunlong said confidently: "He is a soldier brought up by me. Can't this married girl help her parents with some financial support?"

"I'm justified in doing this, but you two are shameless!"

Now Kong Jie and Ding Wei formed a united front and threatened that if Li Yunlong did not give it to them, they would report the matter to the brigade commander. Given the brigade commander's temper, none of the three of them would be able to get this batch of cavalry equipment.

While the three were discussing, Lin Qiang had already ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Those excellent war horses naturally fell into Lin Qiang's hands, and the soldiers reported that these horses were very suitable as stallions.

In the end, under Lin Qiang's coordination, the combat power list was divided into three parts, and each person took one third.

Just as they were discussing the distribution of the spoils, the Japanese infantry troops approached and engaged in a firefight with the two deployed companies.

When the gunshots were heard, the four of them immediately took it seriously.

Li Yunlong put down the binoculars and said solemnly, "It seems that the Japanese are more anxious than we thought. They used grenade launchers and mortars as soon as the battle started."

According to the plan, less than ten minutes into the battle, the two teams had already begun to retreat.

The Japanese really caught up with us, and their attack was very fierce, as if they wanted to rush straight to the command post in one breath.

But before that, the Japanese first had to break through Ding Wei's new regiment.

The sound of gunfire continued to ring out. The combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment was worthy of being the strongest among the Iron Triangle. Cooperating with the mortars supported by Lin Qiang, they successfully blocked the seemingly fierce offensive of the Japanese.

Ding Wei was about to go and command the battle, but before he could even move, Lin Qiang stopped him and said, "Captain Ding, please go to the logistics department. I've prepared some gadgets. Take them and try them out."

"What's the matter?"

"Molotov cocktail."

With the rewards from several battles, the independent battalion is not short of fuel at all, especially gasoline. If it is only used at the current rate, it will last for decades without any problem.

After getting the tank, Lin Qiang began to study Molotov cocktails.

On the battlefield, grenades fell in an arc in the air with smoke. The battlefield was very close to the position, and even teenagers could throw grenades into the pile of Japanese soldiers.

Soon, Ding Wei ordered people to distribute the Molotov cocktails, and with a command, the Molotov cocktails were thrown into the pile of Japanese devils.

This thing doesn't have explosive damage, but its lethality is no less than that of a grenade.

The reason why Lin Qiang started studying this thing after the tank was invented was because Molotov cocktails were also very effective against tanks.

Due to the limited industrial level, the flames from the Molotov cocktails can easily enter the interior of the tank through the gaps, not only burning the tank soldiers to death, but also burning a tank into a shell.

Even if it is impossible to enter the interior of the tank, the high temperature continuously generated by multiple Molotov cocktails is enough to make the people inside the tank unbearable.

This thing is cheap and easy to make. A bottle filled with strong liquor and gasoline can cause great damage.

It was the first time that Molotov cocktails were used in combat, and Ding Wei was full of praise for the surprising effect.

A Molotov cocktail was enough to make several Japanese soldiers suffer a fate worse than death. Anyone who dared to move would be shot to death.

With Lin Qiang's strong support, ammunition consumption is no longer a problem. To put it simply, even if the soldiers shoot indiscriminately, there is enough ammunition to consume.

"Pass on my order. Don't crowd the Molotov cocktails too close together. Try to spread the fire as wide as possible!"

On the other hand, the New Second Regiment not only served as a defensive force, but also shouldered the task of firefighting.

As long as the burning Japanese soldiers approach the hillside, they must be killed as soon as possible to prevent a forest fire.

This season is dry, and once a fire breaks out, it cannot be extinguished, and the base of the independent battalion in the rear will also be affected.

Therefore, when the weather is dry, be careful to prevent fire.
