Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 61: Late-night Hundred-kilometer Rush

In the end, Kong Jie agreed to Wang Gensheng's late-night raid on Majia Town, a hundred kilometers away.

The reason why Kong Jie agreed was not only because he also had the idea of ​​expanding the New Second Regiment, but more importantly, there had been no response to Kong Jie's suggestion to Wang Gensheng to promote Wang Gensheng to the deputy commander of the New Second Regiment in the past few days.

It's probably because they felt Wang Gensheng's promotion was too fast! After all, at the beginning of 1940, he was just a soldier, and at the end of the year, he wanted to be promoted to deputy regiment commander. In such a year, from ordinary soldier to deputy regiment commander, he had to go through the ranks of deputy squad leader, squad leader, platoon leader, deputy company commander, company commander, deputy battalion commander, battalion commander, and finally deputy regiment commander. This is equivalent to an eight-level jump.

Therefore, if Wang Gensheng could successfully seize a battalion of the Japanese army's equipment in this battle, his superiors would naturally agree because of Wang Gensheng's many military achievements.

"Whoa! Whoa! Li Xiu, check the terrain and see if we've taken the wrong path!"

After walking out of the base of the New Second Regiment, Wang Gensheng stopped immediately and asked Li Xiu, who had cat's eyes with full night vision, to check the map and terrain to see if he had taken the wrong path.

After all, we have to run a hundred kilometers at night and enter a strange place that we have never been to before, so we naturally have to compare the terrain.

You know, when traveling at night, it is impossible to compare the terrain due to limited vision, so it is easy to get lost. However, Li Xiu said:
"Captain, there's no need to look. I've been watching the entire time! Don't worry, we're not going the wrong way!"

"Take another look through the telescope. This is no joke. You have to be absolutely sure!"

In response to Wang Gensheng's concerns, Li Xiu took a look through the telescope before saying to Wang Gensheng:

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander! If I make a mistake, you can just shoot me!"

"Okay, if you really ran the wrong way, what's the point of shooting you? Well, since you're not wrong, let's keep going!"

After saying that, Wang Gensheng urged the horse to hurry on again, and Li Xiu, as a man with cat's eyes, naturally followed Wang Gensheng and led the way.

Although a warhorse can charge at a speed of 70 to 80 kilometers per hour, it naturally does not have such a high speed in actual long-distance running. It is like a human being can sprint 100 meters in ten seconds, which is equivalent to 36 kilometers per hour, but the world record for marathon runners is 42 kilometers, which takes two hours.

The same was true for the war horses. It took them five hours to run a distance of 100 kilometers before reaching Majia Town. At this time, the war horses were also out of breath after running continuously for 100 kilometers.

It was already approaching winter, so the panting war horses exhaled white mist.

Of course, in order not to alert the enemy, the cavalry company chose to stop and rest in the woods one kilometer away from Majia Town.

"Team Nine will stay here to take care of the horses and feed them. Remember to wait until their body temperatures drop before covering them with blankets!"

That's right, in order to ensure the success of this raid, Wang Gensheng not only asked the soldiers of the cavalry company to bring concentrated feed and drinking water for the war horses, but also prepared horse blankets for the war horses to prevent them from losing body temperature too quickly after running.

Of course, Wang Gensheng did not know this knowledge about raising war horses before he traveled through time. Instead, he learned it from Sun Desheng when he was the deputy company commander of the cavalry company of the independent regiment.

Sun Desheng taught Wang Gensheng almost everything he knew about raising war horses. For example, he taught Wang Gensheng how to quickly restore a horse's strength after a long run. The best way to do this was to feed it concentrated feed, such as corn, barley, wheat, or soy products like black beans and peas. He also taught Wang Gensheng how to cover a horse with a blanket to keep it warm after a long run. He emphasized the importance of not covering the horse with a blanket immediately, but rather waiting for more than ten minutes until the horse's body temperature had cooled. Otherwise, it would hinder heat dissipation.

Although they had been on horseback for five hours, the soldiers' physical strength was still intact, so they did not need to rest at this moment and could immediately engage in battle.

"How's it going, Li Xiu, did you see clearly? How many secret guards are there at the door?"

After quietly approaching the gate of Majia Town with the cavalry company, Wang Gensheng asked Li Xiu, and Li Xiu observed for a while before saying:

"There are two secret sentries, one on the left and one on the right, but they must be asleep! I haven't seen any movement from them for a long time!"

Wang Gensheng was speechless about this. He could actually fall asleep in such a cold day. He could only admire her very much.

But what made Wang Gensheng happiest was that they were far away from each other, so they didn't need to attack at the same time.

After quietly approaching to within forty meters, Wang Gensheng's sixth sense of mental perception was activated, and he found that he was indeed asleep.

Without hesitation, he stabbed a flying knife into the temple of the secret sentry.

Although the distance was forty meters, after Wang Gensheng's physical fitness improved by forty percent, the flying knife could easily hit the target even at fifty meters, not to mention forty meters.

Of course, it won’t work at night. At night, unless you are within the range of mental induction, you can’t see clearly, so how can you hit the target!
Although the information provided by translator Liu this time did not indicate the location of the Japanese army's barracks in Majia Town, it did not matter, because it was easy to find. As long as you look for the soldiers standing guard at the door, it is most likely the barracks.

So soon, with Li Xiu's night vision ability, he found a yard with soldiers standing guard at the door. In response, Wang Gensheng quietly approached and two throwing knives flew out almost at the same time.

Then it drew two beautiful arcs and accurately hit the temples of the two sentries at the gate of the courtyard.

Instead of pushing the door open, he used his mental power to sense at the door. Sure enough, there was a big yellow dog in the yard. After learning from the lesson in Liujia Town last time, Wang Gensheng was naturally prepared this time.

Then Wang Gensheng took out an oil-paper package from his arms, which still retained his body temperature. Then, as Wang Gensheng opened the oil-paper package, a fragrant aroma suddenly entered his nostrils.

That’s right, this is the roasted chicken leg specially prepared for guard dogs, but this roasted chicken leg is not so delicious. It is specially made with anesthetics. As long as you eat it, you will be paralyzed within ten seconds.

Although it was thrown over the yard wall, with Wang Gensheng's technique and telepathy, he was able to throw the chicken leg accurately next to the big yellow dog, so there was no need to worry that the big yellow dog would not be able to eat it because of the rope.

Maybe the aroma of the chicken leg was too tempting, so the yellow dog did not bark when faced with the chicken leg of unknown origin. After all, it didn't know that the chicken leg was drugged.

In less than ten seconds, the big yellow dog that had just finished eating the chicken leg fell down silently. Although Wang Gensheng felt the big yellow dog fall down, he still waited for another ten seconds before pushing open the door of the yard and entering the yard.
