Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 36 Wangjiazhuang Massacre

Wangjiazhuang.

Koji Nishida stuffed the last bit of food into his backpack, then checked the ammunition box on his waist, and then picked up the gun leaning against the wall.

According to the news from the county seat, they will abandon this stronghold today.

The squad leader specially gathered everyone together and announced the news.Everyone felt happy, and many people even cheered.

Life in the stronghold was really sad.The villagers will roll their eyes at them, and the Eighth Route Army will shoot them coldly.Compared with the barracks, the conditions were extremely poor. It was not easy for a transport team to come, and the supplies were robbed by the Eighth Route Army on the way.

If there weren't enough supplies stored in the stronghold, they might have starved to death.

Therefore, at this moment, regarding the order to "retaliate against the villagers", the Japanese in the entire stronghold felt that "this is how it should be".

Aren’t the common people just people from the Eighth Route Army?They did not support the Locust Army, but instead tipped off the Eighth Route Army, putting the Locust Army in such a predicament. Shouldn't they be killed?
They never think about why the enemy is the enemy.

"gather!"

The squad leader shouted loudly, and dozens of Japanese soldiers quickly gathered.Most of the Japanese soldiers were in high spirits, but there were a few wounded soldiers wrapped in bandages who could only stand with the help of their comrades.There was also a man whose leg was injured. He was sitting on a wooden box with his eyes wide open, listening to the team leader's arrangements.

The team leader looked at the wounded soldiers: "Xitian, your third team is behind, responsible for protecting the wounded and carrying supplies. The first and second teams came out with me, ignored the snipers on the eighth route, and rushed directly into Wangjiazhuang!"

"Hi!"

"set off!"

Following the squad leader's order, the squad leader of the first squad glanced at Koji Nishida and raised his eyebrows with a rather mocking expression.

After making this expression, he waved and took the lead in leading the team out of the stronghold.

"This guy is so competitive..." Nishida Koji also felt angry.First he was scared to death by the Eighth Route Army, then he was beaten in the stronghold, and now he was provoked by his colleagues. Nishida Koji felt like he was like Mount Fuji about to erupt. He really wanted to kill a few people to vent his anger!
"What are you doing, devil?"

The two cold gun teams outside the stronghold looked at the Japanese who usually didn't show their heads and suddenly ran out in groups. They couldn't figure out what the Japanese wanted to do.

"One team has been formed...two teams have been formed, dear, are you going to mobilize all your troops?"

"Hey, look, the first Japs who came out were heading towards Wangjiazhuang."

Soon, the cold-gun team discovered the enemy's destination.

"Go and tell the fellow villagers to retreat. I'll shoot to attract the attention of the Japanese." The veterans in the two groups made the same arrangement almost at the same time, and then shot the Japanese in the distance.

If it were in the past, a few gunshots would have been enough to warn the people in the village.They would spontaneously send people to check the situation, and let the old, weak, sick and disabled find a place to hide first. The young and strong could hide if they could. Those who could not hide had to negotiate with the comers and even risk their lives.

But it doesn't work now. During this period, guns were fired every day, and the Japanese didn't dare to show their faces at all. The people have become accustomed to it.If the Japanese were allowed to rush in at this time, the losses would be huge.

The two veterans didn't care about the consumption of ammunition. They repeated the process of shooting, pulling the bolt, and pressing the bullet, and the shooting became more and more urgent.The little devil didn't want to pay attention to Leng Qian, but as the two unlucky guys were shot and fell down, he had to deal with it.

"The second team counterattacks, the first team continues to move forward!" The team leader made timely adjustments.

The two recruits took advantage of the opportunity and ran straight to Wangjiazhuang with all their strength.

"Folks! Run, all the Japs from the stronghold are out!" Soon, one of them came near the village and shouted.The other person took a few steps slower. Seeing that the news had arrived, he turned around and ran out again.

"Look for the company commander, look for the instructor... There are several machine guns in the company. As long as the company commander brings people, it will not be difficult to cover the evacuation of the people!"

The new soldier did not know that at this moment, such things were happening throughout Wuxiang and Yushe.

The Japanese's first detachment arrived at the entrance of the village before the transfer of villagers was completed.

"The machine gun team goes up to the house and occupies the core passage of the village. The four of you block all the exits, while the rest search from house to house and drive everyone to Mopan!"

The squad leader waved the [-] big cover with a plaster flag and gave instructions loudly.Soon, the twelve Japs took control of the village in an orderly manner, which showed that they did this kind of thing frequently.

boom!
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the side of a Japanese soldier's helmet and bounced out.The recruit who fired the gun retracted his gun and hid in frustration.

If it hits the helmet head-on, the bullet can completely shatter the little devil's skull.But it won’t work if the side angle is too large.Helmets are designed to protect against stray bullets and fragments.

"There are eight roads in the village!"

The Japs responsible for controlling the exits and roads did not move, but focused on the direction from which the gunfire came.The few Japs who were originally responsible for arresting people from house to house slowed down and spread out, covering them from all directions.

boom!
More than two minutes later, two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.After that, a Japanese soldier who was clutching his left arm and clenching his teeth was helped out, followed by two Japanese soldiers. One of them was looking through the medical bag to find a hemostatic bandage; the other Japanese soldier was carrying a brand new three-piece bandage. Eight lids.

"Continue!" the squad leader ordered.

After another ten minutes, the second and third teams also entered Wangjiazhuang. Some of them continued to stare at the Eighth Route snipers outside the village, while others joined the search.

Not long after, 35 elderly people with weak legs and feet were pushed by the Japanese. If they fell, they were dragged by the Japanese and escorted to the millstone at the entrance of the village.

"Are these people?" The team leader's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"It was despicable and incompetent. I didn't block the exit of the village immediately and let those people escape!"

The squad leader looked at these dozens of old people, then waved his hand and looked at the machine gun team aside: "Let's get started."

As his voice fell, a crooked handle, a crooked handle, and tongues of fire spit out at the same time.The Japanese's machine gun was suitable for burst shooting, but it was rare for them to use strafing fire.

"Let's go, Route [-] is coming soon."

The sound of sinister gunfire echoed far away.

Sun Desheng used his binoculars to look at Wangjiazhuang, where gunshots were heard not far away. He saw that a fire had been ignited in the village, and thick smoke was rising like pillars, drifting to no one knew where.

And dozens of Japanese soldiers were withdrawing from Wangjiazhuang in fighting formation, heading northwest.

Sun Desheng's hand holding the telescope trembled, and his fingers lost their color due to exertion.

"You damn little devil, you still want to run away!"

"The whole company is moving forward quickly. Stop the Japs at the front! No one is allowed to escape!"
