Bright Sword: Flesh and Blood Military Industrial Base

Chapter 17 A Massive Kill

"Follow my instructions!" Yang Zheng quickly redeployed.

"Zeng Dahui, you should know which of your comrades in Northeast China are good marksmen. Now, it would be best if you took 15 marksmen with you and went into the thickets on both sides to establish the first line of defense!"

Yang Zheng quickly pointed to the terrain, "Remember, your mission is not to hold the line, but to slow them down. Once the vanguard of the Japanese troops arrives and enters firing range, give them a good beating!"

The key is to target their light machine gunners, grenade launcher operators, and officers, disrupting their formation. But don't linger; use the cover of the woods to fight and retreat, drawing the Japanese towards the bend! Understand?

Zeng Dahui observed the terrain, then replied decisively, "Understood. Use the woods for maneuver, eliminate key targets, and lure the enemy deep into our territory!"

"Very good, now let's choose the people!"

"yes!"

"Shen Jin, Chang Dasheng, Wang..."

Zeng Dahui quickly picked people up, while Yang Zheng turned his head to look at Luo Dashan.

"Luo Dashan!"

"exist!"

"Your knife squad, along with the remaining Northeast Army comrades, are now under your command! Your mission is the most dangerous, but also the most crucial!"

Yang Zheng pointed to the rocky slope to the left rear, "See those rocks? Climb up there immediately and hide behind them. It's a high vantage point here, offering a panoramic view of the entire bend and the road below."

"Once all the Japanese soldiers are drawn here, you guys charge down the rocky slope! Like a sharp knife, plunge straight into the center of the enemy ranks!"

The goal isn't to kill many, but to completely disrupt their formation and cut their ranks in half! Pay special attention to those carrying grenade launchers and machine guns!

Luo Dashan licked his lips, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Understood! Wait for the right moment, strike straight at the heart, and turn the world upside down!"

"That's right! This light machine gun is for you to use!" Yang Zheng nodded, then looked at Chen Xiaoquan and said, "Chen Xiaoquan, we'll ambush behind the bushes and embankment after the bend at the exit!"

Once the Japanese are distracted, immediately concentrate all firepower, throw out all the grenades we have brought, and then unleash your rifles and machine guns, don't hold back on ammunition!

What I want is to make the Japanese think that our real ambush is here, while preventing them from advancing and blocking them at this bend.

In this way, once Luo Dashan and his men charge down, the Japanese will inevitably be thrown into chaos, which will be our opportunity to charge! Charge forward and wipe out their vanguard!

Then quickly report to Luo Dashan and the others, and annihilate all the enemies in one fell swoop. Note that the primary target is the Japanese. Once the Japanese are dealt with, the traitors will naturally surrender.

Chen Xiaoquan nodded with great interest, deeply impressed by Yang Zheng's arrangement.

The entire deployment was layered and progressive, with each step building upon the last, completely overwhelming the Japanese and preventing them from unleashing their true strength.

"Comrades, in this battle, we will ambush 150 enemies with just over 60 men! A direct confrontation is definitely not going to work; we must rely on the terrain, on coordination, and on surprise!"

Remember, each group must strictly follow the plan and pay close attention to signals! Swift action, ruthless strikes, and decisive retreats are essential!

"We must not only win, but also minimize casualties and wipe out the majority of this enemy force!" Yang Zheng looked around one last time, his tone filled with unwavering determination.

"Yes, we guarantee to complete the mission!" Chen Xiaoquan and his team responded firmly.

Subsequently, all departments immediately sprang into action.

The teams that had just been gathered together quickly dispersed under the leadership of their respective commanders.

Zeng Dahui led 15 of the best marksmen, veteran soldiers from Northeast China, into the thicket. Meanwhile, Luo Dashan, along with 7 veteran soldiers from Northwest China and the remaining 20 veteran soldiers from Northeast China, quickly retreated into the rocky slope to their left rear.

Yang Zheng, along with Chen Xiaoquan and the remaining ten veterans from the original Eighth Company, quickly rushed to the bushes and embankment behind the exit after the bend.

In just a few minutes, everything was ready.

Time passed second by second.

Suddenly, the faint sound of chaotic and heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance, along with shouts in Japanese and Chinese from the puppet troops.

The enemy is here!

Yang Zheng, who was hiding on the earthen slope, immediately raised his binoculars and looked ahead.

At the forefront were a dozen or so puppet soldiers, carrying their guns and walking somewhat haphazardly, clearly scouts sent by the Japanese.

About 20 or 30 meters behind them were 13 Japanese soldiers wearing dung-colored uniforms.

A hundred or so Japanese soldiers and puppet troops followed them, marching a hundred meters behind.

The strongest fighting force in the entire enemy force was undoubtedly the approximately 80 Japanese soldiers. However, the puppet troops, under the supervision of the Japanese, still had some fighting ability and were not entirely useless, especially when they were winning.

Yang Zheng took a deep breath, moved his binoculars away, and at the same time released his left hand that was covering the binoculars lens.

The real test is coming.

At that very moment—

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

A sudden burst of crisp, dense gunfire erupted from the dense forest on the right! Bullets struck the Japanese officers and machine gunners with pinpoint accuracy!

A Japanese sergeant with a Japanese flag pinned to his rifle fell to the ground instantly, while another Japanese soldier carrying a Type 96 rifle and his assistant gunner were also hit by bullets immediately.

Sixteen guns hit three targets at a distance of about 80 meters, which is acceptable.

Yang Zheng nodded secretly.

At this moment, the puppet troops at the forefront did not think of counterattacking, but instead scrambled to hide, which had almost become their instinct.

The Japanese soldiers who were actually hit behind them reacted quickly. They immediately sought cover and began to determine the source of the gunfire, and then returned fire immediately.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The crisp gunshots rang out incessantly as the two sides fired at each other from a distance of dozens of meters. Bullets kept hitting tree trunks and the ground.

Meanwhile, the main Japanese force at the rear also started to move at this moment. The grenade launcher gunners quickly calculated the distance and set up the grenade launchers on the ground.

The light machine gunners opened fire immediately to provide fire support and suppress Zeng Dahui and his men.

The remaining Japanese infantry, under the command of a Japanese lieutenant, led their puppet troops in an encirclement maneuver, advancing rapidly with their backs bent.

"Damn it, the Japanese reacted really fast!" Zeng Dahui cursed, then glanced at the battlefield, feeling somewhat unwilling, but still obeyed Yang Zheng's orders.

"Retreat!! Retreat! The Japanese firepower is too strong, retreat!!" Zeng Dahui shouted loudly, and then quickly retreated while fighting towards the bend.

"Baka! The enemy is trying to escape! Chase after them!"

The Japanese lieutenant brandished his command sword and loudly issued orders.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers at the front also started to move, cautiously catching up while opening fire.

When they reached the group of puppet soldiers at the front, they saw that the puppet soldiers who had just been in a sorry state were now also holding guns and yelling as they chased after them.

Observing the situation is their lifeline.
