Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

Xun Bai saw that the hands of the watch on his wrist all overlapped at the number 12, and immediately gave the attack order to the chief of staff Du Zhongmei beside him.

At this time, near the headquarters in Handan City, on the flat roof of a nearby civilian house, when the special forces members looked at the signal sent from the sky, they immediately began to load shells into two 83mm mortars that had been set up early and fired at the Japanese headquarters.

At the same time, at the high points around, four special forces members took each other's positions, holding Mosin-Nagant rifles, commonly known as "water-jet rifles", and began to look for possible Japanese troops.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that the rifles held by these team members are somewhat different from the water rifles seen in China before.

The rifle's original short, straight standard bolt handle was changed to a long, downward-curving handle, and the scope was moved above the receiver.

This was the later modification made by Zeng Jiwen to the original Mosin-Nagant rifle after He Ping arrived.

When it came to equipping sniper equipment, Zeng Jiwen thought of the battle in the north with Delin a few years later, and the performance of this improved rifle on the battlefield, so he asked He Ping to design it.

There are currently no resources for the military factory to design a new sniper rifle. After referring to the rifles currently in service in various countries, Zeng Jiwen decided to use the Mosin-Nagant to improve it. At this time in China, it is easy for Zeng Jiwen to find someone to collect hundreds of Mosin-Nagants.

After considering the rate of fire and distance, Zeng Jiwen did not choose Delin's K98k, but chose the water-barreled rifle. Combined with the scope that was currently being urgently processed, special forces soldiers with good marksmanship can use the water-barreled rifle to snipe Japanese soldiers from 1,300 meters away, which is completely sufficient for the current needs of the troops.

As for the new SVD sniper rifle, given the current logistics, it will probably take a few years for Zeng Jiwen to manufacture and replace it.

As the shells began to explode in the Japanese headquarters, the Japanese soldiers in the headquarters also began to go out with their weapons.

When a small Japanese squad walked out of the headquarters gate, they were attacked by a group of special forces who had been waiting in front and started firing continuously at the Japanese with submachine guns.

After the team wiped out all the Japanese troops in the headquarters and searched for some documents, they immediately began to evacuate and disappeared into the night.

By the time the Japanese reinforcement infantry company arrived, the entire headquarters was in ruins.

At the same time as the signal flare was raised, the Japanese barracks were also attacked by two other special forces teams.

After quietly slitting the throat of the Japanese soldier on guard, the two special forces team members began to sneak into the barracks.

They placed explosives in each dormitory, waited for the signal from the sky, then immediately lit the fuse and evacuated.

As the explosion sounded at the headquarters in the city, the Japanese soldiers in the barracks were awakened and stood up, picked up their weapons and prepared to go to support.

But before they could leave the dormitory, a huge explosion suddenly rang out throughout the barracks, and most of the Japanese soldiers in the two squadrons of the barracks were killed on the spot.

At the same time, outside the city, three regiments began to attack the city gate under the cover of fire from the artillery battalion.

Because the incident happened suddenly, there was only one squadron of Japanese troops guarding the entire city wall at that time. At the same time, most of the Japanese troops were resting, leaving only the puppet troops on the city wall to keep a low profile.

In less than twenty minutes, a regiment of the 4th Column attacked the city wall, blew up the city gate, and the entire regiment began to attack the city.

At this time, the captain of the security battalion guarding Handan, Yuuku Mikami, discovered that Handan was attacked by the Eighth Route Army. He immediately took his men to the telegraph office in the city and began to send the news that Handan was attacked by the Eighth Route Army to the commander of the 14th Division, Kenji Doihara, who was attacking Anyang on the front line.
