Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

047 reinforcements

The newly arrived team was extremely powerful. They split into four groups and launched a fierce attack, dividing and surrounding the Japanese troops. With the support of the high ground fire from the mountain stronghold, the Japanese were unable to defend themselves from both ends.

The Japanese were completely stunned and were annihilated in less than 15 minutes. Most of the puppet troops and traitors surrendered.

The situation took a sudden turn for the worse, catching everyone off guard. Before they could even catch their breath, the arrogant Japanese soldiers who had been so cocky just moments before were completely wiped out. Although shocked, they reacted quickly.

Zhang Zhenfei, Song Xiaoyun, and other leaders opened the gates of the village and welcomed the reinforcements in. The company commander of the reinforcements, Liu Ransong, chuckled and said, "There's no need for thanks, everyone. We just happened to be passing by and happened to be here. We'll be leaving soon..."

Zhang Zhenfei was taken aback when he heard this. Where did this group of people come from? Looking at their attire, which was a mess of all sorts of things, they looked like both bandits and defeated soldiers.

However, their weapons and equipment were quite sophisticated, and they had about a hundred men left, all of whom were expressionless.

Zhang Zhenfei clasped his hands and said, "Heroes, we are deeply grateful for your help today. Why don't we go into the stronghold and wait for our chief to return so we can thank you in person..."

Liu Ransong laughed and said, "No need. We'll go to the North Gate now and leave as soon as we're out of trouble." Without hesitation, he led his team straight to the North Gate.

When the villagers and the logistics platoon realized that they were basically no longer needed, they all rushed out to clean up the battlefield and, incidentally, brought the thirty or so prisoners back to the village.

When Shangguan Yun arrived at the North Gate, the battle at the South Gate was basically over, with only sporadic gunfire remaining. He then sent men to the rear to assist Min Wenqian's retreat, just as Min Wenqian was returning.

It turned out that the Japanese soldiers had retreated because they saw that the firepower of Songjiazhai was too strong and they could not gain any advantage in the short term. Only Song Erhu, the third leader of Songjiazhai, escaped. Min Wenqian then gathered his troops and slowly retreated.

A platoon from Camel Peak at the North Gate was feigning an attack on the mountain stronghold when they heard footsteps behind them. Thinking it was reinforcements, they turned around and were terrified. Before they could even surrender, they were all wiped out by Brother Ban's guard squad.

Leave no one alive. This was all Shangguan Yun's order. These bandits followed Wu Ruhai and committed all sorts of evil deeds, bullying the good and oppressing the innocent. Keeping them alive would be a waste of food. Killing them all would at least earn them some merit points.

Upon entering the mountain stronghold, they saw a group of people approaching. They were well-equipped but dressed in a disheveled manner, which undoubtedly indicated that they had been dispatched as reinforcements.

Otherwise, where would they find so many random sticks? Of course, they all have implanted memories, and they all think it's all very natural.

However, the leader caught Shangguan Yun's eye. This man was not tall, just over 1.7 meters, but there was a hint of murderous intent between his brows.

Because of the system, Shangguan Yun's overall temperament has undergone a qualitative change. He has also grown taller, reaching 180 centimeters, and his appearance has become more handsome.

Coupled with the domineering aura that emanates from his very being, he is truly heroic and righteous, inspiring a desire to follow him at first sight, giving people a powerful visual impact and a natural sense of closeness.

Liu Ransong walked closer, looked Shangguan Yun up and down, his eyes sharp, and nodded slightly. "So this is the leader..."

Shangguan Yun chuckled, his voice as warm as a spring breeze. "I am Shangguan Yun, the military commander of this place. Our chief is seriously injured and unable to thank you all in person. Please forgive us. On behalf of the people of the village, I thank you all for your help."

"It's alright, we just happened to be there, no need for thanks. Once this matter is settled, we will leave immediately... Goodbye..." Liu Ransong gently clasped his hands in a fist salute and prepared to descend the mountain.

Shangguan Yun was instantly dumbfounded, thinking, "Damn... the people this reinforcement order brought are really single-minded. They'll fight and leave without any lingering."

No, I have to find a way to keep them here. We suffered heavy losses in this battle and desperately need manpower. Didn't the system say there's a certain chance of recruiting them...? Hehe... Watch me..."

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun still smiled brightly and said, "Hehe, my heroes, there's no need to be anxious. I am very grateful for your help this time."

However, seeing that many of your army's weapons are damaged, I cannot bear it. I am willing to provide your army with a batch of weapons free of charge. Please stay for a few more days before you leave...

"Someone, bring it up..." Li Dechao quickly came over and reluctantly handed the Thompson submachine gun to Shangguan Yun.

"Hehe, Company Commander Liu, this is an American-made Thompson submachine gun, 11.43mm caliber, 50-round magazine, rate of fire 800 rounds per minute, range 200 meters, a formidable weapon for close-quarters combat."

As he spoke, he handed it to Liu Ransong, then turned and took the general-purpose machine gun from Min Wenqian's hand:

"This is the domestically produced MG42 general-purpose machine gun, which can be used for both light and heavy purposes. It has a 7.92mm caliber, a range of 800-1000 meters, a 250-round ammunition belt, and a rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute. Its battlefield firepower can counter three Japanese Type 3 heavy machine guns..."

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped upon hearing this, and Liu Ransong's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he turned to look at his soldiers with burning eyes.

Shangguan Yun didn't stop. He turned around and picked up another rifle from the side. It was one he had prepared in advance. "Has Company Commander Liu ever used this kind of rifle?"

Liu Ransong shook his head, "I've never seen it before, I don't know what's so special about it..."

"Hahahaha..." Shangguan Yun scanned the crowd. "This is the latest model of the American-made Garand rifle, 7.62mm caliber, with a range of 750 meters and a magazine capacity of 8 rounds."

Not only does it have a large magazine capacity, but more importantly, it is a semi-automatic rifle that can fire continuously without having to pull the bolt multiple times.

In other words, when fighting the Japanese, you've already fired eight shots in the time it takes them to fire two or three shots at you. When firing in rapid succession, it's like your combat power has tripled. What do you all think...?

Upon hearing this, everyone stood there stunned for a long time, exchanging bewildered glances, their mouths agape in shock...

The saying goes, "A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good carriage deserves a good sail." What do soldiers like most? Powerful and advanced weapons. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for these ragtag troops, and Liu Ransong also looked conflicted.

At this moment, Shangguan Yun had Ban Ge pick up the Garand and Thompson and aim them at the open space in front, firing two bursts of bullets in quick succession. The rate of fire and the accuracy were outrageous.

Turning around, Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "Company Commander Liu, I will never forget your army's kindness in helping us. If your army stays here for a few days, I will equip your army with some new weapons as a token of my gratitude once the supplies arrive."

If Company Commander Liu is willing to lead his troops to join my Songjiazhai forces and stay there to fight the Japanese together, these new weapons, including future ones, can be mass-produced and deployed at will.”
