Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

"what happened!"

Lin Qiang's face was serious. He could tell something was wrong from the gunshot just now.

No matter how fast the Japanese react, it will take at least ten minutes for them to organize a counterattack that will be difficult for the special forces, unless the number of Japanese exceeds expectations.

Duan Peng flipped the safety of his assault rifle and said angrily, "This isn't even a single battalion of Japs. The number of Japs arriving this time is double what we expected! This time, there aren't just Japs, but a battalion of puppet troops as well!"

Lin Qiang asked, "Did Zhang Zizai appear in the ranks of the puppet army?"

“I haven’t seen that.”

This answer made Lin Qiang fall into deep thought.

When they met, he also specifically looked at Zhang Zizai's loyalty level, which was a full 100, which was the level where he would never betray.

Either something happened during these three days that caused Zhang Zizai, who had a loyalty level of 100, to choose to rebel, or Zhang Zizai did not know that the Japanese would deploy so many troops.

As for the system, Lin Qiang never doubted it, and there was no way the system could go wrong.

The Japanese didn't give him much time to think, and soon he heard the sound of an engine coming from a distance.

soon.

The Japanese vanguard appeared and slowly approached the ambush site.

There were a total of four large Japanese trucks, each towing a Type 92 infantry gun.

A Type 92 light machine gun was mounted on top of the truck cab.

At the front were the engineers who were responsible for detecting mines, moving forward cautiously with the detectors.

The Japs' advance speed was not fast, but their aggressive appearance showed that they were well prepared.

Lin Qiang had a bad guess in his mind, but he had no chance to confirm it at the moment, so he could only wait until the battle was over.

A team of puppet troops followed behind the truck, with a full battalion of troops, carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars on their shoulders.

With this situation, it is entirely possible to attack not only a platoon but also the base of an entire regiment!

Fortunately, Lin Qiang was well prepared.

All the explosives I got from the train station warehouse last time were used up this time.

The original plan was to use explosives to eliminate the Japanese as much as possible, and then the special forces would rush in and end the battle quickly. Unexpectedly, it became the key to winning this ambush.

Lin Qiang quietly moved to Hu Zi's side and said, "Wait until the Japanese behind the puppet army enter the ambush point before detonating the explosives. At the same time, have the soldiers give all the grenades they have to the Japanese!"

"Yes!"

The order was quickly delivered to every soldier. After receiving the order, they all took out grenades, opened the lids, pulled out the fuses and placed them in front of them.

Despite being well prepared, Lin Qiang was still a little worried about this battle.

There are more than 2,000 Japanese devils and a battalion of puppet troops. It is a tough battle for the first platoon.

Because he did not expect the Japanese to send out so many troops, Lin Qiang only brought out ten mortars. On the other hand, the Japanese not only had mortars, but also four infantry guns!

There were ten heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, which suppressed an entire row of enemies in terms of firepower alone.

The only advantage is that they can catch the Japanese off guard and that the special forces are fully equipped with assault rifles.

In such a large-scale battle, the special forces can only play a small role.

Duan Peng was very clear about this, so he led his team around the rear of the Japanese to ensure that the Japanese would not have the opportunity to use mortars and heavy machine guns.

After all the puppet troops entered the ambush site, Lin Qiang still did not see Zhang Zizai through the telescope.

But now the arrow is on the string and must be shot!

Even if we gave up ambushing the Japanese here, we would not be able to withdraw a team of thousands of people back to the base and prepare for defense again without the Japanese knowing.

Lin Qiang took the Garand from the monk and aimed at the head of the driver of the first truck.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hu Zi had already pulled the fuse of the explosives. He counted to five in his mind, then adjusted his breathing and gently pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The gunshots broke the silence of the woods and also disturbed the Japanese soldiers' hearts that had finally calmed down.

The bullet flew towards the Japanese driver at high speed, directly penetrated the front windshield of the truck, and hit the Japanese driver's head very accurately.

With the driver dead, the truck came to a sudden stop.

The gunshots triggered a stress reaction in the Japanese soldiers, and the Type 99 rifle mounted on the front of the vehicle began to fire indiscriminately into the woods.

The consequence of doing so is being shot to death.

"There's an ambush! Get out of the car quickly and fight back!"

"Kill the child!"

However, before the Japanese soldiers in the car could get off, they were killed by the shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives buried on both sides of the road. The Japanese soldiers who were still breathing also lost their lives when the truck was overturned.

Almost at the same time, dense and rapid gunfire rang out in the woods.

This kind of gunfire sound cannot be achieved by a rifle, and even a volley cannot be simulated.

The Garand semi-automatic rifle has a capacity of eight rounds. Even if only a very small number of soldiers are equipped with this gun, the fire suppression it creates is not inferior to a closely coordinated salvo of Type 38 rifles.

Light and heavy machine guns continued to spit out tongues of fire, and the machine gunners' cheeks kept shaking with the recoil, but from their expressions it could be seen that they were enjoying the pleasure of strafing the Japs.

"Bang bang bang~"

A series of explosions were heard, and it was the mortars firing.

The artillery shells hit the Japanese troops accurately, instantly destroying the team they had organized with great difficulty.

The captain who got off the car to command was shot dead by a sniper who had been waiting for a long time.

The advantage of the Garand rifle is that there is no need to change bullets after each shot. A soldier with accurate shooting skills can fire all eight bullets in a short period of time and still hit the target.

People like Qiangzi and Xu Lang have pistols and Garands in their hands. Their main target is the machine gunners. Once someone wants to use infantry guns, they will work together tacitly to shoot and kill the Japanese.

Not only the machine guns, but even the mortars were difficult for the Japanese to set up quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the second round of explosives continued to explode, driving back the Japanese soldiers who were fleeing to both sides of the road.

The Japanese were blocked by trucks in front and wanted to retreat immediately, but behind them was a special forces team with even stronger firepower.

Each special forces member carries four magazines, with a total of 120 bullets.

In burst shooting, it can not only form effective fire suppression, but also improve the hit rate.

Not to mention the assistance of mortars, the Japanese were unable to quickly organize their troops to retreat and break out.

"Concentrate on breaking through!"

"Quick! Fight back!"

The puppet soldiers huddled together, and the heavy weapons they carried had long been thrown on the roadside. They were thinking about how to survive, not how to fight back.

"Damn it! I thought this was a good job!"

This battalion of puppet troops was transferred from other places. When they heard that they were going to encircle and suppress a platoon of the Eighth Route Army, they followed the team without thinking.

I originally wanted to show off in front of the Japanese, but I never expected to encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Now I might be defeated here.

"Battalion Commander, what should we do?"

"Think of a solution quickly! Otherwise, all of us brothers will die here!"

The puppet army battalion commander was also very anxious and cursed: "What can I do!"

"Stop talking, concentrate your forces and break out to the rear!"

This time, two battalions of Japanese soldiers arrived. The surviving battalion leader was also very experienced in the battlefield. He hid in the crowd and shouted, "Gather the troops and form a battle formation to counterattack!"

"Fight back!"

This was the only thing he could do, to let the Japanese know that there was still a commander directing the battle so that they would not lose their backbone and become disorganized.

Ever since he got the Garand, Qiangzi has no interest in heavy machine guns anymore. His greatest pleasure now is to aim at the Japanese officers with the Garand!

The Japanese troops began to counterattack in an orderly manner. Qiangzi, who had been through many battles, knew that there must be a commander hiding, so he kept searching among the Japanese troops.

"Damn it, it's hidden so deeply!"

Another shot killed the Japanese commander, and Qiangzi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Without a commander to lead the battle, the Japanese were not completely defeated. When they noticed that the puppet troops were desperately retreating to break out, they turned their guns and tried to break out by force.

This kind of desperate concentrated breakout would inevitably cause huge casualties no matter how powerful the special forces' firepower was, and it would not be able to stop the Japanese from breaking through.

"Damn it!"

Duan Peng cursed and was about to order a retreat when gunshots suddenly rang out from the right.

"Brothers, kill all these devils!"
