Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 59 Night Battle
Late at night, Wuxiang County was completely white.

Two flares were hung in the sky, and from the military camp one could vaguely see many soldiers in gray or yellow military uniforms outside.They were observing the military camp behind walls, behind mounds of earth, and in any place that could be used as a shelter.

There is no doubt that if any warriors from the empire dare to stick their heads out, these Eight Route Army soldiers will shoot without hesitation - as evidenced by the sporadic gunshots outside the window.

On the second floor of the headquarters, Taro Yasui lowered the curtains, crossed the chair where Imagawa Koichi often sat, and came behind the telegraph operator.

"Send a report to headquarters immediately."

"It is said that Wuxiang County was besieged by thousands of soldiers. Lieutenant Koichi Imakawa led the Imagawa Squadron out of the city to support the Wudong garrison. They have not returned yet. It is suspected that all of them are in pieces. There are currently only a hundred warriors from the Yasui Squadron and a hundred puppet troops in the county. , has been surrounded and cannot break out or defend the county seat, requesting tactical guidance."

Asking for tactical guidance is a nice name for the Japanese army to request support.To put it bluntly, it means "I can't bear it anymore, please come with some support" or "I can't bear the blame, please come with a big official".

"Yes." The telegraph operator immediately began to send the message to the base camp.

"Oh, reinforcements..." Taro Yasui took a few steps and said, "I will personally go down and take command. You will notify me as soon as you receive the call back."

"Also, you guys, burn the documents and materials immediately. No scraps of paper are allowed to be left behind!"

Taro Yasui knew the garrisons in several nearby counties, and there really were not many mobile troops.As for Yushe's 107th Regiment, it's hard to say how many people can come.

Although Yushe is a transshipment hub, it is only connected to the Yuliao Highway, so the transportation efficiency is not high. In addition, there is a shortage of supplies everywhere. It is hard to say how much supplies the 107th Regiment has received.

But the Commander is so proud that he probably won’t watch him die.Taking the initiative to abandon the county seat and being captured by the Eighth Route Army are two different things.If nothing else happens, there will probably be planes coming to support us tomorrow.So as long as we wait until dawn, there may be a turning point, and maybe we can escape?

If you hold on firmly, there will be a solution!
However, before he could convince himself, a burst of fierce gunfire rang out.

"West! The direction of the puppet army!" Taro Yasui immediately identified the direction of the gunfire, and then his face turned ugly.The puppet army is the weakest link.

The fact was exactly as Anjing expected.The resistance of the remaining puppet troops in the city did not last long.They were just a mob, and Zhong Yunhe was a bandit after all, with average abilities and no special attitude towards the Japanese, so he naturally did not help the Japanese to cultivate die-hard loyalists.

After discovering that the Eighth Route Army was entering the city, this group of puppet soldiers habitually raised their guns to resist.In their minds, the city should be safe. At most, a small group of troops from the Eighth Route Army sneaked in, and now they are being chased everywhere by the princes...

Then... listening to gunshots from all directions, heavy machine guns firing from the Eighth Route Army, and grenades exploding in their ears, this group of puppet soldiers were stunned.

It wasn't until a flare hit their heads that the puppet soldiers realized something was wrong.The temporary commander, a puppet battalion commander, raised the white flag and the rifle in his hand before Lei Shaokang opened fire.

"The sixth platoon watched the prisoners, and the fifth platoon cleaned the battlefield. The first battalion brought the cannons and pressed them directly into the Japs' faces!"

As Captain Lei issued the order, Taro Yasui was surprised to find that he was flanked by something.The only good news is that the bunker to the west finally comes in handy.

Combined with the barbed wire fence and the trenches dug in advance, the heavy machine guns in the bunker would suppress the supplementary regiment that turned to attack the military camp, making it difficult to advance.It just consumes a lot of bullets.

"Quick, move all the bullets out of the warehouse! Send them to the bunker and the eastern position!" Taro Yasui walked into the warehouse.

There is a large amount of ammunition accumulated here, as well as some specially made equipment.If it were in the past, considering the logistics capacity, he would still save money.But now it is a matter of life and death. For him, it is better to waste everything than to defeat him in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

"Move these grenades for me too!"

"And move these artillery shells to the back of the artillery position so that the artillery can prepare to fire support." Yasui arranged the location of each material until he saw a large box with a skull painted on it.If he hadn't temporarily served as the supreme commander of Wuxiang County, he might not have seen this thing.

After a few seconds of silence, Yasui's voice sounded again: "Give these to the grenade and mortar units. If it is difficult to hold on, use them immediately."

"Also, hand out these gas masks. Try to avoid accidental injuries."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Li Yunlong jogged all the way and came to the brigade commander: "Report, the Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate and the two patrol teams in the city have all been cleared. A total of 15 Japanese and 12 puppet troops were killed."

"Have the people moved?"

Li Yunlong said: "All the people near the two military camps have been transferred."

"Okay, notify the Supplementary Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment and tell them that they can let go. I have concentrated the ammunition supply of the New Regiment into their hands. If they still can't take the Japs Barracks, then let the New Regiment and the The local gays are laughing!”

The correspondent turned and left. Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander: "What about the new regiment?"

"Continue to block the streets."

"Brigadier, are you being too bullying? How can you use our new regiment's ammunition to take away our new regiment's merit..."

No matter how much Li Yunlong messed around, the new group still failed to get the attack mission.He could only listen to the fierce gunshots and explosions in front of him, and kept staring.

"Cannonball."

Director Zhao personally operated a [-] force newly supported by Meng Zhige.After two missed shots in the test fire, Director Zhao entered a cheating state, firing one shot at a time.

There was no bunker to the east, and there was no way to defend against mortars. In less than 10 minutes, the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers were replaced by a new group of people.With the support of mortars and suppression of rear machine gun fire, the demolition team quickly used demolition tubes and explosive packets to blow up the two layers of barbed wire and get close to the Japanese position.

Just when the situation was looking good, another flare from the Japs hit the top of the [-]nd Regiment.The Type [-] in the Japanese camp finally roared - a shot hit a two-story building, destroying a heavy machine gun deployed by the [-]nd Regiment there.

Almost at the same time, several Japanese machine guns no longer concealed their positions and opened fire at the same time.One of them swept over the roof where Director Zhao was, apparently roughly discovering the location of his mortar.

"Director Zhao, leave quickly!"

Several members of the artillery crew immediately raised their guns and ran away.There are shooting positions with good sight lines all over the city, so there is no need to focus on one place to shoot.

Less than a minute after Director Zhao moved away, the Japs fired another shot from Type 1, which happened to blow down the roof.

"Okay, the devils are targeting me!" Director Zhao laughed.

"Isn't that right? As long as you are here, the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers will not be able to become arrogant."

"Let's see if we can blow up this infantry cannon!"
