Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Chapter 9: 1 Road Back

This secret prisoner-of-war camp was probably built specifically for training by Yamamoto's special forces.

In addition to the cells used to hold prisoners of war.

In addition, a considerable number of standard equipment and ammunition specially used by Yamamoto's special forces were stored.

So in addition to the Japanese soldiers from the No. 20 Yamamoto Special Forces who were killed and the 20 MP38 submachine guns that were seized.

In addition, in the warehouse of the POW camp, the soldiers seized more than 20 submachine guns that were probably spare parts of the Japanese special forces.

There were more than a dozen boxes of 9mm submachine gun bullets neatly stacked.

At the same time, the prompt text box appeared in front of Kong Jie again:

[The German MP 38 submachine gun, due to the limitations of the times, is considered to be a submachine gun with excellent performance and considerable power in the early stage of development of thermal weapons. If there are enough materials and corresponding machine tools and other equipment, it can be further improved after processing.

For example, expanding the caliber, increasing the power, adding scopes, grips, stocks and other accessories to improve the stability of the submachine gun.

Or use a larger capacity magazine, use special ammunition, or transform it into a compact and long-barreled model suitable for urban street fighting or jungle warfare. 】

In addition, there are seven or eight boxes of melon grenades. These melon grenades are well-made and can completely split into 48 petals after exploding.

The fragments have great killing power, much greater than the Eighth Route Army's homemade wooden-handled grenades, including domestically produced grenades.

Moreover, it is small in size, equipped with a safety latch and a hook, making it very easy to carry.

The text box pops up again:

[Using the ammunition inside the grenade and the damaged grenade as materials, you may be able to rub out a more powerful special mine, or even a delayed bomb, a time bomb, etc.! Unfortunately, the current materials are insufficient, and the host cannot trigger the conditions to rub out an improved weapon. ]

These text boxes would often only pop up when Kong Jie saw some military equipment and materials for the first time.

As for the daily supplies such as food and vegetables used by the devils that were seized in the POW camp, no text box popped up.

Kong Jie was thoughtful as he read this information, thinking about the usefulness of his golden finger.

Could this be a hand-rolled weapon system?

Can you even make airplanes, tanks, submarines and nuclear bombs by hand?

It’s really exciting just thinking about it.

However, hand-rubbing weapons are not created out of thin air, and the corresponding materials and equipment may be difficult to obtain.

It would be very worthwhile to use the captured Japanese weapons and materials to craft some equipment that can inflict heavy damage to the Japanese invaders.

……

In the end, the team returned with a full load.

Before leaving, the Eighth Route Army soldiers led by Kong Jie took off their hats and saluted, and buried the bodies of the twelve soldiers who died in the battle in the prisoner-of-war camp.

They also recorded the names of every soldier who died and removed the epaulettes with the word "Eighth Route Army" on their shoulders.

In order to facilitate the march, the soldiers had to be buried on the spot.

Kong Jie personally found a precious place with green mountains and clear waters nearby for the sacrificed soldiers.

Wherever the soul returns is home!

——This is the tradition of the Eighth Route Army. If conditions permit, the remains of the fallen soldiers will be brought back to the base, and after their comrades mourn and bid farewell, they will be buried in a precious burial ground near the base.

Some places with better conditions will even build a martyrs' cemetery.

It was the spiritual pillar, source of courage, and birthplace of faith for many of the Eighth Route Army's frontline combat troops.

If conditions do not permit, the living comrades will find ways to at least let the fallen soldiers rest in peace.

If the situation gets worse, then there will be nothing left to do...

"Let's give our comrades a final send-off! Salute!"

Kong Jie, who was standing at the front of the team, saluted first, and the soldiers behind him followed suit.

It is natural to feel grief over the sacrifice of a comrade.

But war is so cruel. As long as there is a war, there will always be deaths and sacrifices.

However, the thorny and determined revolutionary road cannot stop here.

The soldiers could only bear the pain and suppress the grief deeply in their hearts, carrying the grief of their fallen comrades, living better and continuing to fight the Japanese to the end.

When everything was finally over, the soldiers left with heavy hearts.

...The truck was driven by Kong Jie himself, with some heavier weapons, equipment and supplies in the trunk. The rest of the captured submachine guns, ammunition and the like were distributed to the soldiers, each carrying 10 to 20 kilograms and quickly following.

Along the way, try to avoid the Japanese defense areas by following the same route you took.

It’s just because we were driving trucks that some rugged mountain roads were completely impassable.

We can only take the roads built by the Japanese.

The team inevitably had to pass through some checkpoints set up by the Japanese and puppet troops.

The Japanese checkpoint was seen from afar.

There are sack fortifications on both sides of the checkpoint, each with a machine gun mounted on it. There are also corresponding bunkers on both sides, and there are probably machine gunners inside the bunkers.

This is a highway checkpoint set up by the Japanese army to block the Eighth Route Army base.

Relying on the firepower advantage of multiple machine guns and the bunkers as defense, such a checkpoint often has extremely strong defensive capabilities even if it is garrisoned by a squad of Japanese soldiers and some puppet troops assisting in combat.

In addition, checkpoints are located on the highway, and there is one such checkpoint at regular intervals, ranging from a few kilometers to more than ten kilometers.

Once a checkpoint was attacked, the Japanese mobile forces could quickly provide reinforcements via the highway.

Therefore, although the Eighth Route Army hated the Japanese checkpoints and blockades, they were unable to easily remove the Japanese checkpoints due to their backward equipment and scarce ammunition.

"Commander, what should we do? If we want to drive this car back, we can only rush through the Japanese checkpoint!" said the second battalion commander Shen Quan, as he looked at the situation at the Japanese checkpoint from a distance.

Kong Jie smiled and said indifferently: "Then just rush over!"

"Among the military uniforms we seized from the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, I remember there was one that was about the same size as me. Shen Quan, please bring it to me. If you're going to be sitting in the passenger seat later, remember to wear one as well."

"Yes!" Shen Quan responded and immediately understood what Kong Jie meant.

So the team split into two groups.

One group was led by Battalion Commander Zheng Meng, who avoided the highway and took the mountain road.

Another group of more than ten cadres squatted in the back of the truck. Kong Jie, who was driving the truck, and Shen Quan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put on Japanese military uniforms. The entire team disguised themselves as Japanese devils from Yamamoto's special forces.

The truck continued to speed along the road.

They were about to reach the checkpoint, but still showed no intention of stopping.

The Japanese soldier standing on guard behind the checkpoint was stunned. He didn't find any flaws at all. The truck drove over in a swagger. The driver and the soldier in the passenger seat were all wearing Japanese military uniforms.

Although the military uniforms are a bit special.

But the logo cannot be fake.

In addition, Yamamoto's special forces team also traveled along this road by car, and the Japanese here still remember it.

The Japanese soldier waved at Kong Jie who was driving the car and shouted something incoherently.

Kong Jie turned to Shen Quan and asked, "What's the name of the little devil?"

Shen Quan grinned: "I don't know."

"Then tell him to shut up!"

"Yes!"

Shen Quan responded, stuck his head out of the open passenger window, and yelled, "Baga Yalu!"

The devil: “???”

Then he was surprised to find that the warrior, who was clearly wearing Japanese military uniform, decisively pulled out a pistol.

boom!
