Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Once the Yamazaki Battalion appears, they won't have much time to prepare weapons and equipment.

Therefore, Chu Feng had to find another way.

Make a request that no one can refuse, it's just for show anyway.

Huang Zhenggong would not refuse, nor would the director of the arsenal.

Once the Yamazaki Battalion is spotted, even if they attack first, they can quickly engage in combat with their weapons and equipment at hand.

In war, time is everything!

A single second earlier could determine the outcome of a battle.

"Platoon leader, everyone carry your weapons and ammunition. Oh, and bring the grenade launchers and grenades too. Come with me on patrol." Chu Feng shouted into the distance as he stepped out the door.

"yes!"

The platoon leader, who was training the troops, heard this and, without asking any questions, simply replied, "All assemble!"

quickly!

A line of thirty-two officers and soldiers, each carrying a light machine gun and a rifle, assembled and followed Chu Feng out of the arsenal.

The company doesn't have much weaponry, but once it goes on patrol, the patrol troops will be given priority in receiving their weapons and equipment.

The group first climbed up a nearby hilltop, looking down at the area below.

"Company commander, where are we going?"

The platoon leader standing beside him asked curiously.

"The platoon leader!"

Chu Feng didn't wander around aimlessly. He knew time was of the essence. While looking around through his binoculars, he asked, "How many roads lead from here to the outside world?"

"Tell me about both the main road and the side roads, and then point them out to me."

Upon hearing this, the platoon leader thought for a moment and said, "Our place is relatively isolated; there are only three routes to get here."

"There's one in the north, one in the east, and one in the south, but none in the west."

"As for the side paths, there are none that lead into this area, but once you leave, there are quite a few."

As he spoke, he pointed to the north and said, "After you go out onto that main road to the north, there are several routes that can take you to Taiyuan City, Yuci, or Shouyang."

"..."

"From here to the south, you can reach Licheng."

As Chu Feng listened to the platoon leader's introduction, a thought struck him.

He later studied it on a whim, and because this battle was based on a real event, he realized what had happened.

"That damn Yamazaki Battalion must have come from the south."

Thinking of this, he said directly, "Let's go, let's go take a look to the south."

The platoon leader had no idea what his company commander was up to, and without asking any questions, he simply led the way, hurrying southward.

A short while later, led by a platoon leader, the group arrived at the south side of the arsenal.

Looking at the terrain here, Chu Feng immediately realized that it matched the terrain in the TV series.

"That's it!!"

"It seems that those damn Yamazaki Battalion haven't arrived yet, but judging from the timeline, they shouldn't be far off."

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Platoon leader, which roads here lead west?"

"Ideally, some side paths, not main roads."

Upon hearing this, the platoon leader pointed in two directions without hesitation and said, "There are two roads in total. One is relatively less rugged and is a road that is frequently used."

"The other road is little known, and it is very rugged. Even locals can easily get lost if they are not careful."

Chu Feng thought that the Yamazaki Battalion had also stumbled in by accident. Given the Japanese soldiers' military discipline, they wouldn't make a mistake if the route was easy.

Moreover, a large number of people means the possibility of being exposed, so the only option is this rugged road.

"Walk!"

Without hesitation, Chu Feng pointed to the road and said, "Let's take this route!"

After saying that, he looked at the platoon leader and said, "Our guard company, because of the special nature of our work, generally finds it difficult to engage in combat with the Japanese."

"I've just taken office as company commander, and I'm eager to see what our platoon is capable of."

"Next, line up in battle formation. Let me see if you're qualified as a platoon leader."

"If you perform well, we'll go back and apply for 100 rounds of ammunition for live-fire exercises."

Chu Feng's words immediately invigorated the platoon leader and everyone else in the platoon.

An assessment? And there are still 100 rounds of ammunition for live-fire shooting?

Suddenly, everyone, from the platoon leader to the soldiers, perked up, their faces beaming with excitement and eagerness.

"Class One, follow me!"

"The rest of the squads, follow the deputy platoon leader!" The platoon leader shouted without hesitation, leading his squad into battle formation as they went forward to scout.

The deputy platoon leader led the remaining men behind, with a distance of more than 500 meters between them, while Chu Feng followed the main force of the platoon.

The new company commander lacked authority, and there were many things he couldn't say.

Chu Feng had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

If he were a seasoned company commander, with absolute authority in the guard company, there would be no need for this kind of trouble.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.

suddenly!

A veteran in the combat squad suddenly crouched down, raised his hand, and quickly cocked the gun, preparing for battle.

Upon seeing this, the platoon leader was taken aback, and his expression turned serious.

"Go find the company commander and tell him there's a situation." With that, he bent over and rushed forward.

Without asking any questions, the platoon leader approached, lay down on the ground, and quietly peeked out.

The next moment, his head buzzed.

In the distance, a large number of Japanese soldiers were walking quickly toward them along the path.

"The Japanese devils?!"

"Wait, how did those Japanese devils end up here?"

The platoon leader felt a little panicked because he realized that the arsenal and field hospital were not far from here.

The Japanese devils are practically at our doorstep.

If it weren't for the company commander's sudden whim to go out for a stroll, at the speed of the Japanese, they would probably have reached the arsenal in half an hour at most.

But they knew nothing about it.

The consequences? The platoon leader couldn't help but shudder.

With a well-intentioned attack on an unsuspecting opponent, and with superior numbers, the result was naturally a one-sided massacre.

"You stay here and keep an eye on the Japanese devils, I'm going to find the company commander!"

The platoon leader dared not delay and quietly withdrew, quickly running into Chu Feng who was rushing over.

"Company commander, there are so many Japanese soldiers!"

The platoon leader spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

"The platoon leader!"

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, finally finding that damned Yamazaki Brigade, but he didn't show it on his face.

Instead, he immediately said, "Who in our platoon runs the fastest? Tell him to go back and inform the political instructor, so that the instructor can immediately lead the entire company to move this way, report the news, and at the same time arrange for the arsenal and field hospital to be moved immediately."

Upon hearing this, the platoon leader's expression hardened, and he said, "Dog Egg!"

A tall, thin soldier stepped forward.

The platoon leader said directly, "Did you hear what the company commander said? Run as fast as you can! Go!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Dan saluted and then turned and ran wildly toward the company headquarters.

"Comrades!"

Chu Feng turned to look at the row of people and growled, "You all know very well that the enemy is right under our noses."

"There was only one guard company around the arsenal."

"Behind us lies the industrial heart of our Eighth Route Army, the foundation we've painstakingly built up, which we absolutely cannot allow to be destroyed by the Japanese guns and cannons."

"Therefore, in order to protect our property and our comrades, even if our guard company is wiped out, we must unconditionally stop this Japanese devil."

"Buy time for the comrades at the arsenal and field hospital to relocate."

Upon hearing this, all the officers and soldiers instinctively stood up straight, their faces filled with fearlessness.

Meeting everyone's gaze, Chu Feng continued, "In this battle, we may all die. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"

Everyone let out a low growl.

"good!"

Chu Feng waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "We're going all out today. If the Japanese devils want to break through, they'll have to step over our dead bodies first."

"Prepare for battle!" Without further ado, Chu Feng grabbed the grenade launcher and headed towards the combat squad.

A row of officers and soldiers followed behind.

A grenade launcher is a miniature mortar, and master-level mortar operation naturally includes it.
