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

At 4:50 the next morning, all the soldiers of the independent brigade got up and had breakfast.

The independent brigade only eats rations during forced marches or special circumstances. In this case, breakfast is freshly made.

Every soldier has steamed buns, pickles and eggs, and they can eat as much as they want!

After washing up, the chief of staff looked at the breakfast on the table and said angrily,

"Eggs are so precious, let the wounded eat them!"

Zhao Gang said, "Commander, all the soldiers in the independent brigade eat like this. Everyone eats the same, there is nothing special."

"Really? Take me out to see!" Zhao Gang and Wang Ye took the chief of staff to walk around the position and found that all the soldiers had eggs to eat, and the white flour buns in the lunch boxes could not even hold them.

On the way back, the chief of staff asked curiously, "Where did you get these things?"

"Commander, the independent brigade has just been established, and the brigade leader has built a breeding farm in Pingyang. Not only chickens but also pigs have been there for several months.

The captain said that the soldiers' training and fighting were very difficult, and nutrition must be guaranteed.

No matter how powerful the enemy is or how tough the environment is, as long as the soldiers are healthy, we can keep fighting! "

Zhao Gang's words made the chief of staff feel ashamed. The food of the Eighth Route Army troops could not be compared with that of the independent battalion.

After he came to the independent battalion, he felt that it was a completely different army from the Eighth Route Army.

The soldiers of the independent brigade have ruddy complexions, strong limbs, and standard tactical movements. Yesterday, he came with the second squadron.

In addition to the trucks, some soldiers were on foot, but they were able to keep up with the troops even if they walked in time, and there was no confusion at all.

It now seems that adequate nutrition is one of the ways that the independent battalion can ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

After returning to the headquarters and having breakfast, the chief of staff took Wang Ye and said,

"Comrade Wang Ye, I didn't expect that you are not only good at fighting, but also very good at discovering Mingsheng.

After this battle is over, will you come back to the headquarters with me and share your experience with the comrades working in the local areas? "

Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Commander, you think too highly of me. I don't have much experience in local work.

If you really want to find some experience, I can introduce you to Comrade Xu Nian from the Pingyang County Party Committee.

The economic development of Pingyang County is so good, all thanks to the cooperation of the comrades of the county party committee! "

Seeing that Wang Ye was unwilling, the chief of staff did not force him. He followed Wang Ye to the observation point outside the headquarters.

Wang Ye looked at the time. It was 5:25 in the morning. There was already a hint of red light in the eastern sky.

He turned on the intercom, "Are all the units in place?"

The chief of staff looked at the small communication device in Wang Ye's hand and felt itchy.

Wang Ye exchanged the walkie-talkie for small-scale communication. He also modified the system and encrypted all the channels.

"The first squadron is in place!"

"Second Squadron is in place!"

"Sixth Squadron is in place!"

"The special agent squadron is in place!"

"The reconnaissance company is in place!"

"Artillery camp in place!"

"The rocket artillery battalion is in place!"

"The New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment are in place!"

"Tank squadron is in place!"

Wang Ye listened silently to the voice on the intercom until all the troops were in place. Then he gave the order.

"The attack will begin in 2 minutes. All troops must be mobilized. The battle must be over by 6:30 in the morning!"

Two minutes passed in a flash, and countless white lines suddenly crossed the still dim sky. The artillery battalion and the rocket launcher battalion opened fire first.

More than 200 artillery shells covered all the areas held by the Japanese.

The Japanese soldiers on guard outside felt nervous when they heard the whistling sound coming from afar. They were very familiar with this sound.

It was this kind of weapon that blew their artillery positions to pieces yesterday, and the Japanese soldiers who were arranged to collect the bodies of the artillery soldiers didn't even find a complete corpse.

Just as the Japanese were about to sound the alarm, the shells had already landed, and the sound of "boom boom..." continued to ring out.

Many Japanese soldiers were worried about a surprise attack at night, so they didn't dare to sleep all night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

Then, he was blown into the sky by the artillery shells of the independent battalion while he was sleeping.

The bombardment continued until ten minutes later, when the two artillery battalions finally stopped.

Sekigahara Roku pulled Tenmuro Ryosuke out from under the body of the guard. The two of them looked blankly at the camp full of craters and murmured,

"What kind of demon are we facing?"

No one answered their questions, because the Panther medium tanks of the tank squadron had already rushed over.

The tank squadron of the independent battalion is equipped with 22 tanks. It is called a squadron, but in fact it is a tank company.

Tanks are really too expensive. The German Panther medium tank itself is worth 300 merit points.

A tank requires 5 people to operate, and each person's skills and equipment require 50 points, which is 250 points.

A tank squadron of 14 tanks plus the commander requires 3500 points.

This does not include the tank's consumption of ammunition and diesel, as well as maintenance and repairs, etc.

You have to know that a Japanese squadron has only a little over 2000 people. It takes a Japanese battalion to maintain such a tank company. The cost is not small.

But it's all worth it.

After the bombardment ended, the tank squadron, which was on the battlefield for the first time, rushed towards the enemy camp at lightning speed.

The first and second infantry squadrons followed closely behind the tanks. Wang Dabao and Wang Dagui almost cursed.

It is very dangerous for tanks to be too far away from the infantry. I don’t know what Wang Xiaoxi is thinking. Why is he so excited about going to the battlefield for the first time?

That’s right, the logistics squadron leader Wang Xiaoxi quit his job and strongly demanded to go to the front line. Wang Ye had no choice but to hand over the newly established tank squadron to him.

Ryosuke Tenmuro pointed at the tanks approaching in the distance and was so shocked that he lost the ability to speak. His lips trembled as he pointed at the tanks and one hand was pulling at Sekigahara Roku's sleeve.

Sekigahara Roku came to his senses and cursed, "Tengshi Ryosuke, why are you dragging me along if you don't want to organize a defense!"

He turned towards Tenshiro Ryosuke while cursing. When he turned his head completely, he saw the tanks charging forward. He immediately turned back.

Then he rubbed his eyes. There must be something wrong with the way he turned around. How could he see a tank here? Or a tank that was better than the Empire's?

When Sekigahara Roku turned around again, he finally realized that he was not mistaken, because the tank was almost in front of him.

Tenmuro Ryosuke's legs trembled as he looked at the tanks so close. He could not even run. Sekigahara Roku and the guards pulled him around and dodged.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoxi encountered a big fish the first time he went to the battlefield. How could he let it go? The Leopard tank was equipped with a 75mm gun.

There are two MG43 machine guns on the front of the vehicle body. How could Sekigahara Roku and Tenmuro Ryosuke possibly outrun the tank?

"Da da da..." The machine guns on the tank kept firing, and Sekigahara Roku and Tenmuro Ryosuke were shot into sieves while running.
