Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 48 Special Cavalry Company

Of course, it would be great if his three battalions were all filled with sharpshooters like Baili Xiu.

It's a pity that a sharpshooter like Baili Xiu is hard to come by. Thinking of this, Wang Gensheng couldn't help but look at Baili Xiu beside him, but found that although Baili Xiu's arm was injured, he was still holding the Type 97 sniper rifle and looking here and there through the scope.

Of course, Wang Gensheng had just examined Baili Xiu's injuries and found that his injuries were not very serious. The bullet only penetrated the surface skin of Baili Xiu's arm and did not injure Baili Xiu's bones and muscles.

Of course, although it is only the surface skin, it is an impossible task to carry out high-precision sniping in a short period of time.

It will take at least ten days or half a month of rest before you can pick up a gun and go to the battlefield again.

After bringing Baili Xiu back to Wangjia Village, Kong Jie did not wait at the village entrance this time. Perhaps it was because he came back early!
After letting the people of the Third Battalion unload their equipment, Wang Gensheng took Baili Xiu to the regiment headquarters. Although the new Second Regiment was not equipped with a field hospital, it had a medical team directly under the regiment headquarters.

Although Baili Xiu's injuries are not serious, it is better to undergo professional disinfection and bandaging treatment.

Otherwise, even if a small wound becomes inflamed and infected, it can be fatal. Of course, Wang Gensheng also asked the medical staff to use alcohol to disinfect the wound on his ear. After all, a piece of flesh on the earlobe was shot off by the bullet.

He didn't feel anything at the time, but now that he has calmed down and the effect of adrenaline has subsided, Wang Gensheng feels a burning pain in his earlobe.

Of course, what made Wang Gensheng so painful that she wanted to cry was when the medical staff in the medical team used alcohol-soaked cotton to disinfect her wound, which made it even more painful.

Wang Gensheng was in so much pain that he really wanted to push the nurse away, but when he saw that the nurse was a woman, he immediately gave up the idea.

There is no way. There are strict regulations in the Eighth Route Army. The punishment for insulting women is extremely strict. Basically, there are two words: execution by shooting.

So even though the regimental units of the Eighth Route Army had medical teams, and most of the soldiers in the medical teams were female, no one dared to touch the female soldiers.

Because those who dared to do this were basically shot, and they were shot in front of onlookers after a public trial. After all, in this era, there was no such ridiculous judgment as later that wearing a condom was not considered an insult.

What's more, even if the female nurse was willing, it would not be allowed, because the Eighth Route Army had regulations that it was not allowed to have sex with someone before marriage. For example, Duan Peng in "Bright Sword" got on the car first. As a result, if Li Yunlong had not protected him, Duan Peng would have almost packed up and gone home to farm.

You have to know that this was not Duan Peng who forced the woman to have sex against her will, but he was caught red-handed after having sex first. Although the girl did it voluntarily, voluntary is not acceptable. Of course, if she was forced, Duan Peng would not have been able to pack up and go home, but would have been shot directly.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and let the medical worker clean the wound with alcohol cotton. But you know what, although the face could not be seen clearly because of the mask, the bulging chest was still quite impressive. However, Wang Gensheng only dared to take a peek with the corner of his eyes, for fear that he would be accidentally dragged out and shot at.

Just as Wang Gensheng was enduring the medical worker cleaning his wound, a voice suddenly came from the door of the medical team:

"Sister! Sister! Are you used to working in the medical team?"

When the female nurse heard this, her hands suddenly trembled, and Wang Gensheng grimaced in pain.

Then Wang Gensheng saw Li Xiu, the squad leader of his third battalion, walk in from the door.

When Li Xiu saw Wang Gensheng, he was immediately surprised:
"Battalion Commander, how did you get injured?" Li Xiu said to the female nurse who was cleaning his wound:

"Sister, please be gentle!"

After hearing what Li Xiu said, Wang Gensheng realized that the female nurse who cleaned his wound was actually Li Xiu's sister Li Xue, whom he had rescued in Lijia Village.

It's not Wang Gensheng's fault for not noticing it. After all, how could he tell with Li Xue wearing a mask? It's not like they were very familiar with each other.

But Wang Gensheng didn’t understand why Li Xue didn’t just stay in Lijia Village and suddenly became a medical worker in the New Second Regiment’s Medical Team.

The reason for this was that when Li Xue came to see Li Xiu, Li Xiu told her that there were also female soldiers in the new Second Regiment. So Li Xue went straight to Kong Jie and asked to join the army. Kong Jie had no choice but to arrange for Li Xue to work as a medical worker in the regiment's medical team.

After all, the regiment medical team assigned to Kong Jie by his superiors was originally small in number, so Kong Jie took this opportunity to expand it. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if there were not enough medical staff when a big battle broke out.

Although he didn't understand how Li Xue became a medical worker, Wang Gensheng understood that Li Xue was using him as training!
Covering his ear, which was bandaged tightly by Li Xue, Wang Gensheng came out of the yard of the medical team. He then took a Type 97 sniper rifle and went to the regiment headquarters to tell Kong Jie about today's situation.

Kong Jie took a look at the Type 97 sniper rifle, took two puffs of his cigarette and said:
"It seems the Japs are setting a trap for us!"

Wang Gensheng nodded and said:

"But luckily, we didn't succeed in the trap, but we lost a sniper rifle. This sniper rifle is rare among the Japanese! It just so happens that our battalion's sharpshooter Baili Xiu is a perfect match for this rifle!"

Kong Jie laughed immediately when he heard this:
"Look at you being so petty. Fine! I'm not greedy, so this gun will go to the sharpshooter in your battalion!"

Kong Jie changed the subject and said:

"Oh right! You should put off the bunker-killing mission for a bit. Since the Japanese are using the bunkers as bait, let's leave them alone. During this time, you should train the cavalry company first. You're the only one in our regiment who has learned how to train cavalry from Sun Desheng!"

Wang Gensheng had no intention of refusing Kong Jie's request. After all, after bringing back the cavalry company of the second devils from Liujia Town, Wang Gensheng really hadn't trained them yet! Even the members of the cavalry company hadn't been selected yet.

In fact, Wang Gensheng is not very optimistic about the cavalry company. After all, in this era, the status of the cavalry is really embarrassing.

Apart from anything else, as long as there is a platoon of soldiers, two or three light machine guns, and trenches are dug, a company of cavalry will not dare to charge.

However, cavalry is also very suitable for covering the retreat when pursuing the enemy or being pursued by the enemy. For example, in the scene of the Bright Sword sweep, if Sun Desheng's cavalry company had not entangled the Japanese cavalry, it would be really hard to say whether the independent regiment could break out.

Wang Gensheng even wondered if the Yamamoto Special Forces equipped their special forces with horses, the speed of their stealth assaults would become very fast. After all, the mobility of troop carriers is not as good as that of horses.

The term "special cavalry company" suddenly appeared in Wang Gensheng's mind.
