Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

The ambush was carried out by an elite company of the Eighth Route Army's New Second Regiment, with a total of more than 150 soldiers. Their equipment was extremely sophisticated, far exceeding that of the Eighth Route Army's regular main combat forces.

To what extent is the firepower configuration exaggerated?

There are 13 people in each squad, and each person has a rifle, which is the minimum.

In addition, there is a submachine gun and a sniper rifle modified based on the Type 38 rifle with a 2x scope installed.

There was also a grenade launcher, a light machine gun, and a 50mm cannon converted from the Japanese army's eighty or ninety bullet barrels.

Each platoon has a special firepower squad equipped with three machine guns, three 50mm cannons and three grenade launchers.

The team that participated in the battle consisted of a company of more than 150 people, as well as an additional reinforced firepower platoon.

It includes nine light machine guns, nine 50mm cannons, two 60mm mortars, and nine grenade launchers.

According to Zhang Dabiao's deployment, these firepower were concentrated on the firepower platoon.

The rest of the soldiers were divided into several combat sequences.

Relying on the forests on both sides of the entire mountain road, it presents three levels of different heights.

At the bottom was the grenade throwing team, and their hiding place was less than 50 meters away from the mountain road.

Taking advantage of the high terrain, the soldiers threw a large number of prepared wooden-handled grenades at the Japanese on the mountain road.

The grenade draws an arc and can easily fly a distance of forty or fifty meters.

This is the first line of firepower strike, and in addition to this is the second line of firepower strike.

The grenade shooting team is arranged ten meters behind the grenade throwing team.

Each group consists of three soldiers, and each soldier is holding a grenade launcher, which was specially developed by Kong Jie - it can store two grenade launchers for launch.

The first generation launcher could only fire one rifle grenade at a time, and the shooting distance was much greater than the bomb throwing distance, but less than the effective range of the Japanese grenade launcher.

Usually the maximum effective range is only about 150 meters.

But this also greatly compensates for the firepower strike at a distance of 100 to 150 meters.

The third line of fire ambush further back was a fire strike group consisting of a light machine gun, a 50mm cannon, and two 60mm mortars.

With such three lines of firepower attacks, it is entirely possible to weave a large firepower net in mid-air and fiercely cover the Japanese on the mountain road.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and his party watched from afar through telescopes.

The situation on the battlefield was like this:

The ambush broke out suddenly. The soldiers opened fire without hesitation. Three lines of firepower ambush broke out at the same time. The soldiers in the grenade throwing team, which was less than 50 meters away from the Japanese army, a total of 60 people, each carried a bamboo basket in their hands.

There were ten grenades in the bamboo basket.

In less than a minute, the soldiers pulled off the pull rings of ten grenades one after another and threw them all at the Japanese soldiers on the mountain road.

That's a total of 600 grenades at once.

Moreover, it was a wooden-handled grenade specially produced by Kong Jie through the seven-man-carrying process. It was much more powerful than the border-area grenades previously produced by the arsenal, which exploded into two pieces or even did not explode at all.

In order to enhance the power of this grenade, Kong Jie also asked the soldiers in the arsenal to add some fragments and steel nails into the grenade body.

Once exploded, these broken sharp objects will fly out, achieving a horrific killing effect.

The Japanese had probably never suffered such a strange grenade attack before.

As 600 grenades exploded in rapid succession, the Japanese soldiers screamed and howled, and casualties increased rapidly.

Chu Yunfei, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked. Just a wave of grenade throwing could have such power.

It's really incredible.

"Is there anything special about these grenades?"

Chu Yunfei's knowledge was quite good. Through the power of the explosion of this batch of grenades, he immediately discovered that the power was much greater than that of ordinary grenades, so he turned to Kong Jie and asked.

Kong Jie nodded and explained to Chu Yunfei the general principle of this grenade which was specially equipped with shrapnel and steel nails.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after hearing this:

"It seems that there is a reason why your Eighth Route Army can grow rapidly.

Not only are your soldiers strong in their fighting spirit, but your military industry is also uniquely creative, which is unmatched by many armies."

He sighed, his eyes continuing to fall on the battlefield, this time he focused on the grenade launchers used by the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, Chu Yunfei had also seen this type of grenade launcher, because the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had also built a similar grenade launcher, but it was not installed so widely in the troops.

Because the fighting situation on the front battlefield and behind enemy lines is not very different.

The Japanese invaders who attacked on the front battlefield often used their absolute advantage of large-caliber artillery to launch fierce bombardments.

After the artillery bombardment, the infantry launched a charge, but they were unable to launch an effective counterattack against the Japanese army using these short-range rifle grenades.

But these weapons are perfect for use in ambushes.

Moreover, as soon as the ambush started, the Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushing on both wings took the lead in using artillery fire to bombard several Japanese military transport vehicles.

Five of the Japanese vehicles were blown up almost immediately, making the vehicles stuck in the middle of the Japanese transport team lose their mobility.

As a result, the situation of the Japanese soldiers in the entire transport team immediately became awkward. They were stuck in the middle with cars, and the team seemed to be cut into two parts, unable to rush out or retreat.

This was a tactic that the Eighth Route Army had developed early on to target Japanese transport units carrying cars.

Later, the Eighth Route Army came up with a simpler jingle.

It is called: "Cut it in the middle, cut off the head and tail, and destroy it in three parts."

At this moment, the power of this tactic is fully exerted.

The Japanese troops, which originally numbered only 170 or 80, were completely cut off and divided into three parts. How could they have any room for resistance?

Captain Ikeda, who was in the ambush circle, was like a frightened bird.

He was puzzled. Out of caution, he had just conducted a fire reconnaissance and secretly observed the area for a long time, but did not find any enemy.

Where are these damn Eighth Route Army soldiers hiding, and why do they suddenly show up?

Isn’t it said that the Eighth Route Army’s New Second Regiment is just a newly formed regiment and its combat effectiveness should not be very strong?

However, the level of equipment and powerful firepower of these Eighth Route Army troops far exceeded his imagination.

It is not even weaker than the elite Imperial Field Army.

But they were merely a logistics unit. Although there were more than 180 Japanese devils, close to the size of a squadron, the number of machine guns and grenade launchers they were equipped with was not large. They were suddenly attacked and had no time to react.

Li Yunlong said to Chu Yunfei proudly:

"Ambush warfare is also very particular. The division of labor must be arranged in advance. For example, who is responsible for suppressing the Japanese machine gunners, shooting down the Japanese gunners, and who is responsible for knocking out the Japanese commanders. All these must be arranged in advance."

As Li Yunlong spoke, as if to increase his persuasiveness, he observed the situation on the battlefield not far away through a telescope and instructed Chu Yunfei:

"Look, we have arranged in advance sharpshooters who are specifically responsible for restraining the Japanese gunners and gunners.

So once the battle started, the Japanese were unable to launch any fire with their machine guns and grenade launchers, the only thing they could use to resist.

And we have long discovered a pattern: without a machine gun and a grenade launcher, the Japanese are nothing.

One shot left a transparent hole."

There was a sense of elegance in his words, and the masts, oars, and sails were reduced to ashes while he was chatting and laughing. The whole thing took less than ten minutes.

When Chu Yunfei looked at the battlefield again, the battle was almost over.

At first glance, the more than 180 Japanese soldiers seemed to be a large number, but in fact they were in an ambush circle and suffered fierce firepower. Under the rapidly increasing casualties, they were soon killed.

The first round of 600 grenades killed nearly half of the Japanese soldiers.

The grenade launchers then targeted the Japanese soldiers hiding on the edges of the cars and around the Roman vehicles, killing dozens of them.

After the last wave of fire from the 50mm cannon and 60mm mortar, Zhang Dabiao directly ordered the bugler to blow the charge.

beep beep beep beep beep beep—

The loud charge completely broke the tranquility of the mountains. The Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed towards the mountain road like tigers descending from the mountain. The last few dozen remaining Japanese devils did not have time to put up much resistance and were completely wiped out.

Seeing that the time was right, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to stand up and show off. He deliberately rolled up his sleeves to reveal a watch seized from a Japanese colonel.

He pretended to check the time, then pouted his lips in dissatisfaction and said:

"Zhang Dabiao is getting more and more outrageous. It took him 100 minutes to kill more than 11 Japanese soldiers.

This was a full three minutes beyond the eight minutes I had given him.

If I look back, I will scold him to death."

After these words were spoken, although there was an obvious suspicion of bragging, Chu Yunfei was still an honest person and smiled at Li Yunlong in cooperation.

It was as if saying that Brother Yunlong was indeed amazing, and all his subordinates were fierce generals. It was true that a strong general had no weak soldiers under him.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore and quickly turned their heads away.

——Don’t look at me, I don’t know this Li Datou, it’s so embarrassing!

But no matter what, the ambush was completely over at this time.

Under the command of Zhang Dabiao, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

"Come on, Brother Yunfei, let's go down and join in the fun!"

Li Yunlong took the initiative to invite, it was time to appreciate the results of the battle.

So the group quickly rushed to the ambush battlefield from the forward observation post.

While watching the soldiers quickly cleaning up the battlefield, he was the first to stab the Japanese soldiers who seemed to be already dead.

—Take the bayonet and stab it in again.

Chu Yunfei was obviously a little stunned, and asked in confusion, "Brother Yunlong, what are you doing?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Oh, this is an old tradition of our New Second Regiment. Some of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were not completely dead. When our soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, these Japanese soldiers were really damn hateful. Many of them took the opportunity to launch sneak attacks.

Many of our soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of these Japanese devils.

Every time I think about this, I get so angry.

So I set a rule for the soldiers. After the battle, except for the wounded who were discovered first, they would be disarmed, knocked unconscious and carried away as prisoners in accordance with our Eighth Route Army's tradition of treating prisoners well.

The Japanese soldiers on other battlefields had to be stabbed in the heart with bayonets to ensure that they were all killed.

That’s safe enough!”

Chu Yunfei nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment. He never expected that these Eighth Route Army commanders had such delicate minds.

However, if the Japanese, their opponents, knew about this, they would probably be terrified!

As an elite graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and a veteran of many battles, he was a rare and outstanding commanding officer in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Chu Yunfei knew very well what to focus on after an ambush battle.

The first is the comparison of casualties between the two sides, which can almost directly reflect the gap in combat effectiveness between the two forces.

So after arriving at the battlefield, Chu Yunfei carefully looked at the specific situation.

However, at a glance, the entire battlefield was basically filled with the corpses of Japanese devils, and there were almost no bodies of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

This surprised him greatly. Could it be that in an ambush, more than 180 Japanese soldiers were wiped out, and not a single soldier from the Eighth Route Army was killed?

Is this a bit exaggerated?

Chu Yunfei, who was really curious, couldn't help but ask Li Yunlong, "Brother Yunlong, how many casualties did your company suffer in this ambush?"

Ha ha--

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, his eyes almost disappeared with laughter, and he thought to himself, I've been waiting for you, Chu Yunfei, to ask this question!

So he deliberately put on a low profile, looked humble, and said:

"Don't mention it, these damn Japanese soldiers are really good, just over 180 of them.

An ambush was launched.

Damn it, more than a dozen of our soldiers were slightly injured and three were seriously injured. If it weren’t for the medical team I arranged in advance that arrived in time and prepared some emergency medicines in advance, we would have been in trouble.

Who knows, the person may not be able to be saved.

If we fight a small ambush like this and kill a few hundred Japanese soldiers, and still have to sacrifice the lives of three comrades, then this battle will be a loss! "

Hear the words.

Chu Yunfei fell into deep silence. He suddenly felt that dealing with the big-headed Captain Li was not a pleasant thing.

——Because this kid likes to show off too much.

But then again, if they want to show off, they have the capital to do so.

What else can Da Chu Yunfei say?

In this way, in the ambush just now, the Eighth Route Army only paid the price of a dozen people being slightly injured and three people being seriously injured.

More than 180 Japanese soldiers were killed!!!

It's truly god-like fighting power!
