Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 16 Yamazaki Attacks
However, on the fourth day of Wang Gensheng's flying knife teaching, a soldier who was learning flying knife asked Wang Gensheng:

"Instructor Wang, you've been teaching us for three days now. Why don't you show us the power of this flying knife?"

Although Wang Gensheng showed his flying knife skills in the battle of Wanjia Town, he was the only one who lurked next to the sentry at that time, while the other soldiers of the first battalion were hundreds of meters away!

Therefore, when Wang Gensheng dealt with the sentries and asked them to come over, he only saw the bodies of two sentries lying on the ground.

As for how Wang Gensheng threw the flying knife, he naturally didn't see it. It would be a problem if he could see it clearly from a distance of several hundred meters in the middle of the night!

When Wang Gensheng saw this, he naturally felt that he had to demonstrate the power of his flying knife, otherwise it would affect the soldiers' confidence in practicing flying knife.

After all, the soldiers have been practicing for several days, and they can only hit the target from four or five meters away. It has no practical value at all.

So Wang Gensheng decided to demonstrate the actual combat ability of the flying knife, and said:

"Watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate it once!"

After saying that, Wang Gensheng held five throwing knives in each hand, and then stood twenty meters away from the target where the soldiers were practicing throwing knives.

Then Wang Gensheng took a deep breath, and then he waved his hands continuously, and the throwing knives in his hands flew out one by one, hitting the bull's eyes of ten targets twenty meters away.

The whole action was extremely smooth and done in one go. It took less than three seconds for Wang Gensheng to throw ten throwing knives onto the bull's eye.

Wang Gensheng's skill of throwing consecutive flying knives naturally stunned the soldiers who were learning to throw knives. It took a long time before one soldier applauded and cheered for Wang Gensheng!
Wang Gensheng glanced at the soldiers and said:

"This is the actual combat effect of the flying knife. Although it is not as powerful as a pistol bullet, the advantage is that it can be used for sneak attacks silently and saves bullets. Of course, if anyone feels that this level is not enough to kill the Japanese, you can give it a try!"

Naturally, no soldier dared to take the risk of Wang Gensheng's unique skill of throwing a flying knife. Although Wang Gensheng's flying knife only penetrated the wooden target to a depth of less than three centimeters, no soldier would think that his head was harder than a wooden board, so naturally no soldier wanted to be a target.

Of course, what Wang Gensheng showed, that he could shoot ten flying knives in three seconds and hit the target with every knife, naturally boosted the morale of these guys and gave them the illusion that they could do it too.

Wang Gensheng was naturally very happy to see the soldiers' high enthusiasm and hard work. However, just when the soldiers were training hard, the sound of explosions and gunshots coming from a distance interrupted their practice.

Less than a minute after the sound of gunfire was heard, an emergency assembly whistle sounded in Yangcun.

It was not until after the gathering that Wang Gensheng learned from Kong Jie that the arsenal had been attacked by the Japanese.

Wang Gensheng, who was familiar with the plot, understood that this must be the beginning of the battle in which the Yamazaki Battalion attacked the arsenal.

Wang Gensheng was naturally happy about this, thinking that there was a war to fight, which meant that he could kill the Japanese and gain energy to enhance his physical fitness.

In fact, ever since he realized the usefulness of his golden finger after killing the traitors in Wanjia Town, Wang Gensheng had used his flying knife to kill a few small animals like sparrows in the past few days since returning. However, without exception, no warm current was generated, thus blocking Wang Gensheng's path to becoming a god by killing a nest of ants.

However, the order to launch the attack was not given immediately after the assembly. It was said that the 772nd Regiment took over the task of the main attack.

The independent regiment became a reserve regiment. In fact, this cannot be blamed on the commander's favoritism, because the reason for this is mainly because the commander took into account that the independent regiment had been defeated once by Yamamoto's special forces and was seriously injured, so he sent the main regiment such as the 772nd Regiment to take over.

But Li Yunlong would never think so, so at this time Li Yunlong was angry with Kong Jie in the regiment headquarters. After all, it was Kong Jie who went to the meeting in the camp. If he didn't blame Kong Jie for not getting the main attack, who else could he blame?

The sound was so loud that even the battalion and company commanders waiting for orders in the yard could hear it. However, although they could hear it, they had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the regiment headquarters.

However, Wang Gensheng, who was familiar with the plot of Bright Sword, knew that the commander of the 772nd Regiment, Blind Cheng, was not good at fighting tough battles, so he would soon be withdrawn and replaced by Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

According to the plot, Li Yunlong would have to wait at least eight hours, but the plot did not develop as originally planned, and it has not even been three hours yet!

The commander actually wanted to replace Li Yunlong because the brigade commander had seen that the casualties of the 772nd Regiment's hard charge were too heavy.

As a result, the regiment headquarters launched an enlarged combat meeting, and only platoon leaders and above were eligible to attend this enlarged meeting.

Therefore, as the deputy company commander of the cavalry company, Wang Gensheng is naturally qualified to participate in this combat meeting.

So, all in all, Wang Gensheng can be considered a backbone of the group, not just a grassroots member, and he has a certain say.

In the conference room of the independent regiment, in addition to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, the battalion commanders of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions, as well as the company commanders and deputy company commanders, about a dozen people were crowded in this small room, some standing and some sitting. Of course, Wang Gensheng, as the deputy company commander, naturally stood at the back. The seat in front was for the battalion commander, and Wang Gensheng, as the deputy company commander, was not qualified to grab it.

Li Yunlong stood in front and said to Wang Gensheng and other battalion and company commanders like a teacher:
"Judging from the terrain, it's impossible for the entire regiment of over a thousand men to deploy. If we attack company by company, it would become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire, a cardinal sin in military strategy. I won't do such a foolish thing! I want to shorten the distance of this attack!"

Zhang Dabiao, who had become the battalion commander at this time, continued:
"Captain, you mean excavation using earthwork methods!"

When Li Yunlong heard that Zhang Dabiao had guessed his intention, he smiled and said:
"You're quite smart, kid. There are 360 ​​people in your battalion. I'm going to give all the grenades in the entire regiment to you. Ten grenades for each person, that's a lot! 3,600 grenades! Move all the troops to the bottom of the hillside and don't show your head.

The Japs are pretty good at shooting, but we can't afford to run into that bad luck. The troops are using earthworks to advance in parallel. As long as we push through 50 meters, what about the remaining 30 meters? Even a woman can throw a grenade into the ring fortifications. Once my signal flare goes off, all the grenades in the first battalion must be thrown out within two minutes. 3,600 grenades are enough to give Yamazaki a hard time.

All members of the independent regiment will join the attack and prepare for hand-to-hand combat. Remember, if you see that Yamazaki kid, no one is allowed to shoot. Hold him back, or I'll chop him alive!"

After Li Yunlong issued his series of combat deployments, he glanced at everyone and asked:

"Does anyone have any questions? If not, then go get ready!"
