Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Sitting silently in the passenger seat, following the car lights and looking at the road in the distance where the darkness had been dispelled, Captain Muramasa was in a unhappy mood.

No matter who is suddenly awakened from his sleep and then sent to the battlefield, he would probably not be happy.

"These damned Eighth Route Army soldiers are no match for the Imperial Army in direct combat, so they only dare to resort to sneaky tactics at night. This is truly despicable."

Captain Muramasa cursed in his heart. Like most Japanese soldiers of that period, he had a fairly consistent short and stocky appearance.

Especially after being exposed to the sun for a long time, his thick neck became as black as carbon and was almost the same width as his head. From a distance, it looked like a magnified No. 1 shotgun bullet.

When getting on the bus, Muramasa, who had short legs, tried several times, but perhaps because he was not fully awake yet, he could not reach the tire that served as a pedal.

Fortunately, a soldier behind him was quick-witted and quickly supported the captain from behind.

Muramasa's short and stocky body then climbed up to the passenger seat in a crooked manner.

To be fair.

Muramasa didn't think tonight's reinforcement mission was difficult at all.

Most likely it will be business as usual.

With the arrival of the Imperial Army's mechanized combat squadron, the vulnerable Eighth Route Army scattered and fled in panic.

The Eighth Route Army can only run away.

Is there anything else that is difficult?

They used a wide variety of crudely made guns, some of which were even homemade rifles, and the trajectory of the bullets would deviate drastically at a distance of less than 100 meters.

In the eyes of the proud Japanese soldiers, such guns were not much better than fire sticks.

And you should never expect the battle with the Eighth Route Army to last long.

Captain Muramasa said disdainfully: "Once the battle begins, it won't take them more than a few minutes to run out of bullets. We must be ready to outflank them at any time.

Those troops, which were mostly made up of peasants, had low combat power and equipment, but they were still quite good at running away on foot."

yawn--

Captain Muramasa, feeling sleepy and lacking interest, yawned, looked out through the windshield at the still dark night sky outside, and asked the driver beside him:

"Where are we now? How long will it take to reach Site 7?"

The Japanese driver replied: "Sir, we have been driving for nearly half an hour. If it were daytime, we could see the road clearly and increase the speed. We would have almost reached our destination by now.

By now, we should have completed more than half of the journey.

In less than ten minutes at most, we can reach Point 7."

"Yoshi!" Muramasa nodded and said, "Notify the convoy ahead to speed up. If everything goes well, maybe we can go back and catch up on some sleep before dawn!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese driver responded and then honked the horn three times as communication. The car leading the convoy immediately accelerated, and the speed of the entire convoy increased accordingly.

——Muramasa was always very cautious and never took the first car that cleared the road in order to be wary of the mines that the Eighth Route Army might have buried along the way.

Soon after, the roar of car engines entering the mountain road spread far away, breaking the silence of the night.

The news immediately reached Li Yunlong, who was almost impatient.

"Haha, the damn Japanese devils are finally here. Comrades, stay hidden and be ready for battle!"

Li Yunlong was squatting behind a dirt slope, holding two ten-shot pistols, staring intently in the direction of the mountain road.

Soon, lights were seen in the distance.

Then, the roar of a car engine came from far away.

More than a dozen Japanese cars were driving towards the mountain road area at a fairly fast speed, guided by their headlights.

Nearly.

Nearly.

Getting closer.

The Japanese mechanized combat squadron received an order to rush to the support of the No. 7 stronghold at night. It was impossible for them to conduct reconnaissance and be cautious everywhere along the way.

The Eighth Route Army set up ambushes along the way.

The Japanese army was often unpredictable.

Even if we could guess, it would be impossible to determine the specific location of the Eighth Route Army's ambush, as well as its troop strength and deployment.

Boom——

The expected explosion sounded suddenly, and the earth-shaking sound startled the flocks of sleeping birds in the mountains and forests.

When the car passed a certain section of the mountain road, which was not a wide road, the wheels would inevitably pass the edge of the road, and naturally triggered the explosive packs buried by the soldiers in the edge of the road.

That is the so-called side bomb created by Kong Jie.

Amid the earth-shattering explosion, the car that triggered the bomb was directly overturned by the violent shock wave. After falling sideways, it slid along the road surface into the field ridge on the side of the road.

Li Yunlong's eyes widened with excitement and he exclaimed that it was so enjoyable.

Lao Kong really didn’t deceive me.

The power of this explosive pack is amazing!

As he watched the huge explosion overturn the Japanese car, Li Yunlong secretly felt it was a pity.

The independent regiment had limited resources and too few materials. Kong Jie collected almost all the materials in the regiment, and finally made two special side explosive packs by hand.

In order to ensure that the leading Japanese car would be destroyed, Li Yunlong ordered the two packs of explosives to be buried together to exert maximum power.

The explosion just now has detonated both explosive packs.

The effect is amazing.

The leading car was directly overturned and damaged, with almost the entire car upside down in the rice field. The glass of the cockpit had already been shattered and the space was squeezed and distorted.

There is an 80% chance that the Japanese driver caught in it will not survive.

However, the enemy's Japanese commander was obviously very cunning. When the convoy was advancing, he deliberately arranged the leading car to keep a distance from the convoy behind.

So if you encounter an ambush.

The Japanese army would at most lose the vehicles that led the way.

The convoy behind can react quickly, stop the cars and engage in combat.

Captain Muramasa was even more cunning. There was only a driver in the lead car that led the way, and there were not even any soldiers in the car.

This means that in the explosion just now, the Japanese army only lost a car and a driver.

"idiot!"

Cun jumped out of the driving seat while cursing, and directed the rest of the soldiers to file out of the carriage, using the carriages as cover and launching a counterattack.

In the dim night, the two sides engaged in a firefight.

A side-bomb instantly destroyed a Japanese vehicle, boosting morale.

Li Yunlong then commanded the soldiers who were ambushed on both wings of the mountain road to open fire, completely suppressing the Japanese army with cross fire from the side, while at the same time shelling the center of the Japanese convoy with several grenade launchers they carried.

The attempt was to completely destroy the cars in the middle of the Japanese convoy, breaking the entire convoy in half and dividing it into two parts. The damaged vehicles were stuck in the middle of the road, forcing the Japanese to be unable to take care of both the front and the rear.

This is a common tactic used by Japanese motor vehicle units to ambush the enemy.

Attack from the middle.

To prevent the Japanese army from using the mobility of cars to break out or retreat.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have been preparing for this battle for a long time.

Infiltrating and attacking the No. 7 stronghold with special forces is actually secondary.

The real target is the mechanized combat squadron of the devil's Huangyun Town.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. If we want to completely destroy the Japanese mechanized squadron and eliminate the threat of Japanese mobile force reinforcements in the entire Huangyun Town area,

We must gather our ammunition and give him a good beating!"

To this end, Kong Jie ordered all the machine guns, grenades and various types of ammunition in the regiment to be concentrated and supplied to the ambush troops.

"We must destroy this son-of-a-bitch car squadron!"
