Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Before the battle to infiltrate the No. 7 stronghold began, Kong Jie arranged the following combat objectives:

Completely wipe out the Japanese troops in the stronghold.

Control the puppet troops in the stronghold.

All equipment and supplies in the No. 7 stronghold were seized.

Up to now, the team members have successfully infiltrated the stronghold and killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers inside.

The only casualty of the puppet army was a sentry, while the rest were all under control.

It’s not because of the principle that Chinese people don’t fight against Chinese people.

——Some of these bastard traitors are even more hateful than the Japs themselves. For example, some traitors in the puppet army’s security forces were trained by the Japanese army themselves, and many commanders in the team were Japanese army officers themselves, so their will to fight was relatively firm.

He has always been a die-hard traitor of the Japanese army, slaughtering many Chinese soldiers on the battlefield and persecuting many Chinese people in the occupied areas.

The Eighth Route Army's principle has always been to resolutely eliminate such die-hard traitors.

However, there are imperial army members like Liu Gui.

Their will to fight was not firm, and they often pretended to obey the Japanese army's orders but actually disobeyed them. They were simply slacking off and trying to get by, hoping to find a backer in this chaotic world, get some military pay, and survive.

For such puppet troops, the Eighth Route Army's principle was to resolutely eliminate the active elements among them and to persuade and win over the majority.

Of course.

Such puppet troops cannot be used just by being captured.

Instead, they have to go through special tests, including whether their background is clean, whether they have harmed innocent civilians while serving in the puppet army, and whether they are guilty.

Only after education in political work courses and ideological indoctrination and transformation can one successfully become a member of the Eighth Route Army.

This is especially true for puppet troops like Liu Gui.

"If you want to live, let me tell you, one group you cannot mess with is the Japanese army, and another group you cannot mess with is the Eighth Route Army!"

This is Liu Gui's consistent way of survival.

Such as this time.

This kid cooperated very sincerely. He surrendered his weapons obediently and urged the more than 20 puppet soldiers under him to help transport some equipment and supplies out of the stronghold.

Including how much equipment and supplies the Japanese had stockpiled at Base No. 7 and where they were stored.

Liu Gui explained everything in detail and even made a list.

"Sir, the equipment includes 5 light machine guns, 6 grenade launchers, 40 rifles, 17 bayonets, 10 boxes of grenades, 30 grenades per box, more than 40 ammunition boxes, more than 6.5 boxes of bullets, nearly 3 180mm bullets, and more than grenade launcher shells..."

In the dark night, I heard Liu Gui slowly reporting the data.

The special forces members pretended to remain calm, but were still surprised by the abundance of ammunition in this small stronghold.

That's it.

Only a small group of Japanese soldiers were stationed at the No. 7 stronghold.

At most, it can be considered a small stronghold.

The Japanese had abundant ammunition reserves. Not to mention the large amount, just the nearly 30,000 bullets alone exceeded the total ammunition of an ordinary Eighth Route Army combat regiment.

When Kong Jie's independent regiment was just established, there were less than 1000 soldiers in the regiment, and each soldier had less than 5 bullets.

How much is it in total?

The total number of bullets for the entire regiment was less than 5000, and these were bullets of various calibers. After all, the guns they used were also varied, including Type , Hanyang, and old chambered guns. It was impossible to have a complete range of them.

Even for a light machine gun in the regiment, it would be considered good if it had 500 rounds of bullets.

Otherwise, where did the nickname "Three-gun Eighth Route Army" come from?

The bullets were used up in a short while of fighting, and they had no choice but to fight the Japs in hand-to-hand combat, using bayonets, machetes, red tasseled spears, and even sickles and hoes.

It is said to be a team.

During the difficult initial times, it was considered good enough if we had a battalion of soldiers picking up guns and fighting.

What are the soldiers from the other two battalions doing?

Following behind the soldiers with guns, the soldier in front of him died and fell down. He did not care about being sad, but picked up his companions' guns and continued to rush forward.

The environment in the early stages of the War of Resistance was so difficult.

It can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

Only in this way could the troops gradually grow stronger in such a harsh and dangerous environment.

As for the Japanese army's ammunition configuration.

When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the Japanese had strong individual combat capabilities and solid military qualities.

Each soldier in the field troops is issued two base loads of ammunition, totaling 120 rounds.

In addition, there was a standard Type 38 rifle, a bayonet, and several grenades.

The bolt-action Type 120 rifle has a maximum capacity of five rounds, and rounds are almost enough to support the Japanese in fighting for several hours.

Each Japanese machine gun was equipped with thousands of rounds of bullets.

In addition, among the 120 rounds of bullets carried by the Japanese soldiers, there were an additional 60 rounds of reduced ammunition bullets specially prepared for machine guns.

There was only one squad of Japanese soldiers in the No. 7 stronghold.

The 20-odd puppet soldiers were not trusted by the Japanese army and were issued limited equipment and ammunition.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a large amount of ammunition reserves.

Nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition.

The possibility of the Eighth Route Army forcibly attacking the stronghold is very small.

When will all those dozen Japanese devils be used up?

More obvious.

This batch of ammunition was prepared for the long-term combat of the Japanese in the No. 7 stronghold. It might be the ammunition reserve for half a year or even a year.

As a result, after being infiltrated and ambushed by the special forces, the independent regiment took full advantage.

In addition, there were several hundred kilograms of grain in sacks, more than a hundred cans of food, fifty to sixty kilograms of various vegetables, as well as some daily necessities such as kettles, backpacks, iron pots, bowls and chopsticks.

According to the subsequent combat plan, Kong Jie arranged for his team members, including captured puppet soldiers, to help take away most of the ammunition and supplies in the stronghold.

Under the cover of night.

Liu Gui obediently commanded his puppet troops to open the barbed wire gate of the stronghold.

A group of people immediately appeared in the darkness not far away.

Take a closer look.

All of them were earth-gray military uniforms.

Liu Gui was startled and thought to himself that these Eighth Route Army soldiers were indeed well prepared and had probably been planning to attack Stronghold No. 7 for a long time.

This was a company that Kong Jie had arranged in advance to provide support outside the stronghold.

In fact, they mainly helped to transport the captured equipment and supplies.

Nothing.

Although the special forces can infiltrate and seize strongholds, kill the Japanese, and capture puppet troops, they do not have enough manpower when it comes to seizing supplies and needing to transport them.

The soldiers were naturally well prepared, pulling some farm carts and wheelbarrows.

Soon all the equipment and supplies in the No. 7 stronghold were emptied out.

The company commander leading the team was so happy that he could hardly stop smiling.

Looking at the large amount of supplies transported out of the stronghold, he always felt like he was dreaming.

Kong Jie gave the order, saying, "Captain of the Seventh Company, you leave one more platoon behind, and the rest of the soldiers use carts to pull the captured equipment and supplies back first. And these puppet soldiers, keep an eye on the road. If anyone dares to escape, I will break his legs."

"Yes!" replied the captain of the seventh company.

The captured puppet soldiers shuddered secretly and followed obediently.

Isn’t it said that the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well?

Why are these Eighth Route Army soldiers so brutal and fierce?

"Wait, let them take off their clothes!" Kong Jie continued to shout.

"what???"

The puppet soldiers were a little dazed, but faced with the guns carried by the surrounding Eighth Route Army soldiers, they could only cooperate obediently and began to take off their clothes. Some even went so far as to take off their underwear and shorts.

Kong Jie cursed with a dark face: "Don't take off all your clothes, just wear your coat."

He didn't bother to care what these puppet soldiers would think.

It is right that the Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well, provided that the prisoners have the awareness of being prisoners and cooperate honestly.

"Also, leave Liu Gui to me!"
