Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 10: Flying Knife Kills Sentinel

In response to Wang Gensheng's question, Kong Jie thought about it and did not hide it:
"Yes, tonight I plan to lead a battalion to attack Wanjia Town. There is a battalion of Japanese cavalry there! It would be a waste to let those Japanese cavalry ride such good horses!"

When Wang Gensheng heard this, he immediately said excitedly:

"Captain Kong, please take me with you!"

Kong Jie shook his head and said:
"No, you're from the Second Battalion. I'm going with the First Battalion this time. It's not appropriate to take you with me. Besides, you have to lead the Independent Regiment in grenade throwing training!"

When Wang Gensheng heard that Kong Jie disagreed, he immediately became anxious because he wanted to verify something this time.

Ever since he traveled through time and killed two Japanese devils, and a faint warm current appeared in his body, Wang Gensheng has been wondering whether this faint warm current was his golden finger or his illusion.

That's why he wanted to verify it quickly, but Wang Gensheng, who was familiar with the plot of Bright Sword, knew that the independent regiment had only fought the battle of Wanjia Town recently, and it would take several months before the battle of Lijiaopo could be fought.

However, Wang Gensheng, who was quick-witted, soon thought of the reason why he had to do it. Wang Gensheng immediately pulled out the fighting knife from his waist, and then threw it casually in Kong Jie's puzzled eyes, and directly inserted it into the tree trunk twenty meters away for four or five centimeters.

"What are you doing? Are you performing a juggling act for me?"

Facing Kong Jie's confusion, Wang Gensheng said:

"Captain, this isn't a circus; it's a silent way to eliminate the sentries on guard duty! Yang Village was raided this time because our sentries were silently eliminated. If you hadn't placed the secret sentries, we would have suffered even more casualties!"

Wang Gensheng was not panicking at all, because among the 216 soldiers who died this time, one of them was not shot but killed by a knife wound. Moreover, Wang Gensheng also knew this soldier who died by the knife. He was the one who was sent out by their platoon to stand guard that night.

That’s right, the way Yamamoto’s special forces eliminated the sentries silently was not by using silenced firearms, but by throwing flying knives.

After all, it is not difficult to sneak up to a distance of more than ten meters at night and throw a flying knife.

Moreover, the current silencer design is not as good as the later ones, so it is naturally more efficient to use throwing knives.

It’s just a pity that the Eighth Route Army has both open and hidden sentries, so it’s useless to only deal with the open sentries without dealing with the hidden sentries.

Sure enough, Kong Jie's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Gensheng's explanation.

"I can't believe you're capable of this! Looks like you have to join tonight's operation!"

Wang Gensheng laughed and said:
"Throwing a throwing knife is actually no different from throwing a stone! But, Commander, I only have one throwing knife. Can you get me another one? What if the Japanese soldiers only have two guards?"

"Okay! Get ready and act together tonight!"

Kong Jie did not refuse and nodded in agreement. After Wang Gensheng saw Kong Jie walking away, he walked to the tree with a smile and pulled out the fighting knife that was stuck in the tree trunk.

Although the blade of the Kaba 1217 knife was only inserted one-third of the way into the tree, if it was used against a person, the depth would definitely be more than ten centimeters.

…………

call!call!call!
Wang Gensheng was breathing heavily and moving forward with great effort. Fortunately, his body still had the foundation, otherwise Wang Gensheng would really not be able to keep up.

The main reason why Wang Gensheng was breathing heavily was not because of his poor health, but because he was carrying more weight than others.

The specially thickened steel helmet and steel-plated bulletproof vest obtained from Yamamoto's special forces, the combined weight of these two items alone reached 15 kilograms and 30 pounds.

In addition, two combat knives, an M1911 pistol, and six grenades combined brought Wang Gensheng's load to nearly 50 kilograms. The other soldiers, lacking bulletproof helmets and vests, generally carried less than 30 kilograms, half the weight of Wang Gensheng.

Although fifty pounds is nothing, carrying them for fifty kilometers is a big burden.

After a forced march, Kong Jie reached Wanjia Town in just six hours.

After lying in ambush in Wanjia Town, Kong Jie first observed the town and found that although Wanjia Town had no city walls, the entire town was surrounded by wooden fences. Only the main gate could be entered. However, at this time, there were two sentries standing at the door with guns on their backs.

Seeing this, Kong Jie asked Wang Gensheng, who was still gasping for breath:

"How can you still throw the knife?"

"Of course, throwing a flying knife requires more than just strength!"

After saying that, Wang Gensheng calmed himself down a little and then took out two Kaba fighting knives, holding one in each hand.

Then he quietly walked towards the gate of Wanjia Town.

Just as Wang Gensheng took action, the dark clouds in the sky blocked the moonlight.

So without the moonlight, the kerosene lamp at the sentry post at the entrance of Wanjia Town could only illuminate the area within ten meters of the entrance.

Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters. When Wang Gensheng was thirty meters away from the two sentries, he stopped moving forward, even though the two traitors leaning against the door looked like they were asleep.

But Wang Gensheng was no longer sure whether continuing to get closer would wake them up.

So Wang Gensheng took decisive action. The two fighting knives in his left and right hands were thrown out one in front and one behind in less than half a second.

That is, the first knife is still in the air, and the second knife has already flown out. This is the advantage of being able to use both hands.

brush!brush!
The two Kaba fighting knives were inserted into the temples of the two traitors with great precision, with the entire blade of more than ten centimeters being completely embedded.

Faced with such a deadly attack, the two Japanese sentries naturally died without even having time to make a sound.

I just don’t know if they will have the face to see the King of Hell after they go down there.

After Wang Gensheng's knife pierced the temples of the two traitors, he immediately felt two weak but obvious currents of heat flowing through his body, giving him a comfortable feeling.

Even the fatigue from running 50 kilometers just now disappeared.

Therefore, the death of these two traitors also confirmed that he, Wang Gensheng, was not an unlucky guy who traveled through time and space without a golden finger.

However, this golden finger is not a conventional system flow, but a certain ability.

Just as Wang Gensheng was thinking about his own abilities, Kong Jie saw Wang Gensheng cleanly and neatly deal with the two second-ghost sentries and rushed over with his team. Kong Jie walked up to Wang Gensheng, patted Wang Gensheng on the shoulder and said:
"Well done! How come I didn't realize you had this ability before? You're at a loss this time. Such a good soldier is now gone to that kid Li Yunlong!"

When Wang Gensheng heard Kong Jie's sour words, he suddenly had an idea:

"That's easy. If the regiment commander leaves that day, just take me with him! Just like how Regimental Commander Li brought Battalion Commander Zhang to the Independent Regiment."
