Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

At a distance of 100 meters, they had already reached the firing line of the children's regiment soldiers. The second devil just poked his head out to observe, and the covering firepower of each squad had already opened fire.

The soldiers of the Children's Corps were already familiar with the three-three system charge. The skirmish lines were well separated, and the support and cover forces behind were very powerful.

Especially the assault rifles made the Japanese soldiers unable to even raise their heads.

At the front-line command post, the brigade commander, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong all looked at the battlefield situation with binoculars.

Ding Wei looked for a long time, put down the telescope in disbelief and wanted to say something, but he saw the brigade commander and Li Yunlong concentrating on the battlefield, so he immediately looked over.

He began to speak, "Brigade Commander, Lao Li, have you noticed that the children's group soldiers' charge was very methodical?

Although their soldiers were scattered, the charge, cover and support were clearly divided, and each combat group took turns to cover the advance.

This tactic is so advanced, I must bring it back to the New 1st Regiment."

Li Yunlong stared at the battlefield intently and said, "This tactic is not only very advanced, but also saves ammunition. While advancing alternately, the shooting is more targeted.

Unlike now, when the troops attack, they shoot with their eyes closed. As long as the enemy can’t raise their heads, it’s fine.”

The brigade commander concluded, “This children’s group has so many secrets, I need to stay longer!”

Noda hid in the dark wall of the city wall and observed the situation on the battlefield through the shooting hole.

Less than half an hour after the battle began, the Imperial Army's defense line was already in jeopardy. Seeing that they were about to break through, he shouted angrily,

"Let the artillery in the city attack immediately to cut off the children's group's attack path. We must hold our position, otherwise the Imperial Army will probably flee immediately!"

The Eighth Route Army knew the nature of the traitors, and the Japanese knew it too.

The artillery regiment of the second devil has made preparations for battle, and the bombardment parameters have been set. With the devil's order,

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Artillery shells rained down on the children's group's attack route, and in an instant the pressure on the enemy's position was relieved.

Wang Daben clenched his fists and shouted, "Immediately, tell the artillery company to destroy the enemy's artillery positions. Remember, don't fight to the death. As soon as the enemy's artillery stops attacking, move positions immediately.

Also inform the regiment commander that the enemy's artillery may seize our artillery position when our artillery company attacks.

Let the regiment's artillery battalion seize the opportunity to deal with the enemy's artillery."

Not to mention that everyone had their own ideas. The Japanese didn't know whether the Children's Corps had artillery, so they let the Imperial Army's artillery attack first.

Once the Imperial Army's artillery positions were attacked, they would seize the position coordinates of the Children's Corps' artillery company and attack.

Artillery attack is like fishing. Whoever shows up first will die first!

After Wang Ye received the call from the Third Battalion, he said to the brigade commander and others, "The Japs are famous for their cunningness. They actually used the Second Japs' artillery as bait!"

The brigade commander asked curiously, "Does your battalion already have an artillery company?"

"Yes, each battalion has an artillery company equipped with nine Type 9 infantry guns!"

"Nine?" Ding Wei and Li Yunlong said at the same time. Although they were already surprised by the fighting power and equipment of the children's group,

But the fact that one battalion had nine infantry guns still shocked them.

If they remembered correctly, the Noda Regiment on the opposite side had only 10 guns in total. So, the Children's Corps had 27 Type infantry guns alone.

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were so shocked that they didn't know what to say.

At that time, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment had two small cannons, which were treated as treasures. Who knew that the children's group would be so arrogant.

Noda looked at the interrupted attack rhythm of the children's group on the battlefield and said happily, "No one can survive under the artillery fire of the empire. Long live the empire!"

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The answer to his question was the sound of artillery from the third battalion's artillery company. Nine Type 9 infantry guns attacked at the same time. After three rounds of rapid fire, the Japanese artillerymen were blown into the sky.

Noda listened to the sound of the artillery with bloodshot eyes, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "What's going on? Where is the artillery fire coming from?"

Ten minutes later, the Japanese signalman came back and said, "Report to the commander of the regiment, the artillery position of the Imperial Army has been attacked and has lost its combat effectiveness!"

"Baka!" Noda was stunned. He looked at his men steadily, "Do you have anything to say about the artillery fire you just heard?"

Xiaocun was terrified. He said in a hoarse voice, "Sir, from the sound of the artillery fire just now, the enemy has at least more than 10 Type infantry guns. We can't defeat them!"

Noda suddenly woke up and shouted angrily, "Where did the Children's Corps get so many infantry guns? Are all the people in the Imperial Munitions Department full of worms?"

The signalman outside the door said again, "Sir, the artillery of the Imperial Army in the other two directions is under attack.

All the artillery of the Imperial Army was destroyed. Our enemy's artillery is very powerful!"

"Pata!" The command knife in Noda's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The room was eerily quiet, and there was fear in Noda's voice.

"You mean to say that there are at least 30 infantry guns in the Children's Corps!"

Yokota Takenosuke muttered absentmindedly, "The enemy regiment has more artillery than our entire regiment. How is this possible?"

Because the three battalions of the Children's Corps opened fire almost simultaneously, the Japanese artillery didn't know which direction to attack first, and no orders were given.

In this way, the children's group's artillery company was not attacked, and it is unknown who saved whose life?

Noda was awakened by the sound of the children's group's attack. He pulled Yokota Takenosuke and yelled,

"

Do you still believe that the other side is a group?

This is definitely the main force of the National Government, maybe an army, otherwise where would so many cannons come from?

Call General Sasaki and ask him to come and meet us immediately.

Gather the troops, turn in from the north gate immediately, and evacuate in the direction of Jing County. Let's get out of this cannibalistic place!"

The captain of the Noda Corps was surprised to make arrangements. They were not afraid of the children's group's artillery, but the attack of this unit was very strange.

Although they were bombarded, it was clear from the observation holes that the soldiers of the Children's Corps were scattered far apart, and the artillery shells of the Imperial Army did not have much killing power on them.

At most, it just delayed their attack. Once the shelling stopped, the attack would begin immediately.

Not only are the soldiers' tactics very high, but their weapons and equipment are much more powerful than those of the regiment. This battle cannot be won.

Moreover, there are no enemies to the north of the county town, which makes it easier for them to retreat. As long as they meet up with General Sasaki, they can fight back immediately.

The "commander" reconnaissance battalion commander Wang Erde ran into the headquarters at full speed, "The devils are trying to escape!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"The Japanese have assembled their troops. They have not brought many supplies with them and are marching lightly. They are likely to leave the city through the north gate.

Because the place where the devils gathered is closest to the north gate!"
