Bright Sword: Technology is the primary productive force in war

Since six o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army has organized six large and small charges. To put it bluntly, a 6-meter-deep trench was blown out in front of the independent regiment's arsenal position.

Chen Yan was sitting in the office, playing with a grenade in his hand. At this time, Huang Yi walked in, exhausted.

"The Japanese have finally stopped and we can finally take a breath."

Chen Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly a hint of imperceptible cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Huang Yi, do you know about booby traps?"

"Huh? What booby trap? I've never heard of it!"

Huang Yi poured a glass of water and looked at Chen Yan with a confused look on his face.

"Booby trap, English name is booby trap, literally translated as "fool trap". To be precise, booby trap is a trap set with explosives, taking advantage of the enemy's laxity, tampering with the most ordinary and inconspicuous things, making a thunderous sound out of nowhere, waiting for the "fool" to take the bait.

To put it bluntly, booby traps are used to play psychological warfare. The fake ones are real and the real ones are fake. It can be said to be the most disgusting weapon on the battlefield. I plan to let the Japanese in, set up booby traps, and fight street battles with them at night.

To give you an example, you can hide this thing behind the door, use grenades and traction wires to set a trap. Once the Japanese push the door, it will automatically explode, and our people are not in the house at all.

And the booby trap must be triggered at close range. Just imagine the power of a grenade exploding within one meter. If you are not killed, you will at least break your arms and legs."

Hearing this, Huang Yi's eyes lit up. Although he didn't fully understand it, he at least understood that this thing was easy to operate and was a deadly weapon.

Chen Yan continued, "You are lucky boy. I have not taught this skill to anyone else. There are many types of booby traps. Today I will teach you the simplest one, which is to use grenades to set booby traps."

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huang Yi's eyes.

Although he is also one of the top ten warriors of the independent regiment, he is far inferior to others in terms of their special skills.

If the captain could teach me a few tricks, I would have enough to survive in the independent regiment.

Chen Yan took 5 minutes to explain in detail the operating steps, precautions and layout techniques, and Huang Yi learned it easily.

"By the way, the Japanese Type 97 melon grenade is designed with double insurance.

In addition to the safety pin, there is also an impact fuse inside, which is why the Japanese grenades need to be knocked before they explode.

If you want to set up a booby trap, you need to remove the firing pin inside and modify it."

As he spoke, Chen Yan quickly disassembled the grenade and explained the modification method in detail again.

"Pass this method down to the squad. Within two hours, I will place 1000 booby traps throughout the entire arsenal, including gun towers, offices, kitchens, open spaces, toilets, and any place you can think of."

At this moment, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Yan's eyes, "Tonight I'm going to make the Japanese tremble in their dreams."

"Yes".

Huang Yi gave a standard military salute, at this moment he expressed his deep respect to Chen Yan.

Huang Yi was impressed by the man's never-give-up spirit. Even when he was at the end of his rope, he could always come up with amazing and inspiring ideas.

"You go and make the arrangements now. By the way, what is the current combat effectiveness of the Third Battalion?"

Huang Yi paused and said, "If we count all those who are still breathing, there is only one company of soldiers left. Two of my three company commanders are dead, and there are still two platoon leaders."

Chen Yan frowned. He was mentally prepared, but he still felt heartbroken when he heard this.

"Where is the squad leader?"

Chen Yan values ​​the experienced old squad leaders very much. These old foxes have strong ability to adapt to temporary situations on the battlefield and can lead troops while fighting. They are the backbone of the team, equivalent to the military trough of the Japanese army, and play a connecting role.

"It's okay. There are still a dozen people left in the squad, and the team is relying on them now."

After Huang Yi left, Chen Yan collapsed in his chair again. The wound was inflamed, and the initial low fever had turned into a high fever. But he didn't tell anyone, and asked the medic for some alcohol, secretly wiping it himself to cool down physically.

If you keep burning like this, I'll become a roast chicken.

He suddenly thought of the Goubangzi smoked chicken he had eaten before, and laughed heartlessly.

At the Japanese position outside the Guanjianao arsenal, a major looked at the telegram with increasing urgency.

There have been unusual movements of the Eighth Route Army's troops in the Renan direction, probably the enemy's support troops. If this continues, we will be completely passive.

"Baga, I have only a battalion of troops, fighting against an enemy force of more than 300 people, but I haven't been able to defeat them for two days, and we have suffered heavy losses. Do you want me to commit seppuku to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor?"

The major scolded the low-ranking officers in front of him, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

"We must capture the armory tonight, or you will all die."

The Japanese didn't want to fight a night battle, but there was nothing they could do. Their superiors just had to talk, and their subordinates had to run themselves ragged, or even lose their lives!

The fear that the independent regiment’s night attack brought to the Japanese last night is still vivid in our minds.

After so many years of fighting wars of aggression on Chinese soil, we have never seen such tenacious and brutal Chinese troops.

Hearing that the major was angry, the officers quickly responded, "Hey!"

There were only more than 100 people left on Chen Yan's side, and the Japanese were not much better off, with only more than 600 people left in one battalion. However, they still had an overwhelming advantage.

After the Japanese rested, they launched another attack while night was falling and it was not yet completely dark.

The first thing that comes on stage is the clichéd plot, artillery fire.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!".

The soldiers of the independent regiment had long been accustomed to hiding in the trenches, and they acted as if nothing had happened.

After this battle, these people became veterans who had been through many battles.

When Chen Yan heard the sound of artillery fire, he forced himself to move to the front line.

"Huang Yi, see, the Japanese are really getting anxious. Our reinforcements are coming non-stop. If we fail to capture the arsenal, they will become our prey."

"Captain, should we let them in? It would be better for us to continue resisting and hold our ground until help comes."

Chen Yan's eyes were firm, "No, if the Japanese keep charging like this, we are poor and can't afford to fight them.

Moreover, the headquarters has to transfer troops from Renan, which is too far away. They will also pass through the enemy's defense zone along the way, so it is unknown how long it will take to arrive.

We in the independent regiment don’t have the habit of putting our heads on other people’s belts, even if they are our own people.”

This time, the joint operation was also forced. Chen Yan had to consider the political factors on behalf of his superiors, and at the same time, he had to guard against a series of small actions by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

In the past, he only knew what the National Army was like from books, but this time he had a very clear memory of it!

Old man Yan is really playing around!

If I hadn't kept some tricks up my sleeve, I'd think our entire army would have been wiped out within five hours once the battle started.

Boss, I am really giving you face this time, otherwise I would have withdrawn and run away long ago.

Alas, I don’t know what happened to Lao Li and the others. We have to keep the hope of the independent regiment alive!

Chen Yan looked into the distance, then turned to Huang Yi and said:

"Pretend to resist for 20 minutes. As soon as it gets dark, let the enemy in as planned.

Let’s play hide and seek with them.”
