Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 61 Baby, what a good baby! (Please vote)

The New Second Regiment did not show any leniency to those Japanese soldiers who were ready to die together with their grenades.

During daily training, Chen Chengxing repeatedly told the soldiers not to talk about chivalry with the Japanese in bayonet fighting, and to launch a sneak attack if possible.

If the Japs want to fight seriously with bayonets, then we will fight them. If you want to die together, then we will have to take out our pistols.

The Japanese usually fought in groups of three or four, and a squadron consisted of no more than fifty or sixty groups.

Now there are seven companies besieging them, and the cadres alone are equipped with seventy or eighty pistols.

The soldier who was fighting with bayonet dodged to avoid the shooting range, and the pistol immediately fired.

The principle of 'within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate' was demonstrated vividly.

Half an hour later, none of the Japanese soldiers on the Shuiwan Village battlefield were left standing, and of course, none of the puppet soldiers were left standing either.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly and pay attention to finishing off the enemy!" Chen Chengxing ordered as he put away his pistol.

"Captain, what should we do with those puppet troops?" Sun Xun ran over and asked.

Those puppet soldiers are still lying on the ground.

Chen Chengxing thought for a moment and said, "Confiscate their weapons, take off their cotton-padded clothes and shoes, separate them, conduct surprise inspections, and execute those who have done many evil things, and let those who have not done any evil go back."

Although the New Second Regiment is now in need of manpower for land reclamation, Chen Chengxing cannot trust these puppet soldiers. Taking them back will inevitably lead to intelligence leaks. It is better to let them get out.

At that time, these guys can continue to consume the Japanese supplies.

"Yes!"

After Sun Xun went to organize the identification of the puppet troops, Chen Chengxing went straight to the enemy's artillery squad.

As soon as he approached, Chen Chengxing saw that the two Italian cannons were still hanging on the front vehicle and had not been removed at all.

"Captain, look, this is not a Japanese-made artillery piece. It's all foreign-made." Zheng Hua said excitedly.
"Good, good, good!" Chen Chengxing smiled from ear to ear as he touched the gun barrel.

Li Yunlong, ah, Li Yunlong, your life weapon is mine, but when you need it in the future, I can help you fire a few shots.

Just as Chen Chengxing was happily checking the status of the artillery, a communicator ran over and reported:

"Captain! Another group of Japanese cavalry has arrived at the Xiashi Village position. There are more than 300 of them. It should be a cavalry battalion."

"The Japs came really quickly. From the start of the war to now, it took them less than an hour and a half to reach the battlefield." Chen Chengxing said with a serious expression.

This shows that the Japanese army has been running here at full speed, and there may be other reinforcements following behind.

"Zheng Hua, you take the second battalion immediately, go through Maping, go around the mountain temple and then detour to Shangge Village, bring back all the things of the artillery team. Ask the comrades to clean the surrounding area carefully, and not even a button can be left behind." Chen Chengxing ordered.

There are only a few roads that can allow artillery to enter the mountains, but now they are all under the control of the Japanese.

Although the route Chen Chengxing mentioned was difficult to take and required a big detour, and Zheng Hua would not be able to return to Hongni Bay in three to five days, it was relatively safe and could prevent him from being caught up by the Japanese.

"Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Zheng Hua stood at attention.

"By the way, see if there are any survivors among these Japanese artillerymen. If there is still a possibility of treatment, give them emergency bandages and take them back, they may be useful." Chen Chengxing was about to turn around, but suddenly turned back and said.

The standard range of Italian artillery can reach 8.3 kilometers. If the shooting angle is raised to 45 degrees by digging pits, its range can easily exceed 12 kilometers.

With such a long range, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed without professional artillery.

Infantry guns can be equipped with bayonets for close-range shooting, but it is very difficult to install bayonets on field guns.

Chen Chengxing wanted to rescue a few Japanese artillerymen and see if he could teach the soldiers of the New Second Regiment. Even if he failed in the end, there would not be any big loss, just some food.

"Uh"

Hearing Chen Chengxing's words, Zheng Hua scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Captain, I have already ordered the finishing blows. The Japanese should be ready now." "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and evacuate!"

Faced with this situation, Chen Chengxing could only turn around and leave helplessly.

After all, this is still Chen Chengxing's fault. Under Chen Chengxing's education, the first thing the soldiers of the New Second Regiment did after a battle was to finish off the enemy and only then would they clean up the battlefield.

Upon learning that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived and were now fighting the guerrillas in Xia Shi Village, the soldiers accelerated the pace of cleaning.

As for the puppet soldiers, they just asked each other about the situation, and anyone who had any doubts was shot on the spot.

These puppet soldiers can only blame the Japanese because they did not give them time to explain.

After dealing with the battlefield, the soldiers quickly headed north into the mountains. After receiving the order to retreat, the guerrillas also buried a row of mines and then ran away.

Although the Japanese cavalry did not want to let them go, they became obedient after stepping on two mines. They could only order the puppet troops to go forward and clear the mines before they could pass.

As for how the puppet army cleared the mines, that was not within their consideration.

It took half an hour for the puppet army to clear the mines after procrastinating for a long time, at the cost of three deaths and eight serious injuries.

When the Japanese cavalry brigade rode to Shuiwan Village, Chen Chengxing had already run away with the New Second Regiment.

All that was left was the stiff body of the Japanese soldier, and his clothes had been stripped off.

"Bagayalo! Chase! Chase!" the Japanese cavalry captain shouted angrily.

However, even if the Japanese cavalry captain was angry, he had no idea where to start in the vast mountainous area.

This mountainous area is full of valleys and narrow passes. Even if they find traces, they dare not pursue them further. What if they fall into an ambush? Wouldn't that be a loss of both the wife and the army?

Therefore, the Japanese cavalry only made a symbolic move around the mountainous area to save the captain's face.

Chen Chengxing had already entered the mountain, and after the guerrillas withdrew from the battle, the system's voice rang.

【The battle is over.】

[Obtained 625 honor points (currently 7361 honor points). ]

[Side quest: Capture the Italian cannon. Completed!]

【Rewards are waiting to be claimed! 】

[Rewards are being distributed]

[Skill points gained: 1]

After obtaining the skill points, Chen Chengxing opened the skill panel as usual and wanted to click on tactical command, but this time he failed.

[It is detected that the tactical command has reached LV5. If you want to upgrade to LV6, you need to upgrade the insight to LV6 before you can add points. 】

Insight? Level 6?

Chen Chengxing was a little confused when he saw that his insight was still at level 0. When would it be able to reach level 5? And if he wanted to upgrade his tactical command in the future, he would probably have to upgrade his insight as well, right?

However, facing this not-at-all-intelligent system, Chen Chengxing was helpless and could only choose to focus his skills on insight.

[Insight LV1 (beginners)]

After Chen Chengxing closed the system panel, he wanted to try whether the insight was effective, but now everyone was busy on their way and there was no chance to experiment.

Chen Chengxing could only postpone it for the time being and prepare to return to Hongni Bay first.
