You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Li Yunlong suddenly jolted awake from his daze.

He grabbed the handset: "Mr. Shen! Just you wait and see! The entire cavalry company is ready—"

"Target: Xiaowangzhuang stronghold! Charge!!"

"Kill all those sons of bitches of Japanese devils!!"

"kill--!!!"

Eighty elite cavalrymen were like tigers unleashed from their cages!

This time, they weren't holding sabers, but Type 56 rifles!

Warhorses galloped, kicking up clouds of dust, and the soldiers spurred their horses, their guns pressed tightly against their saddles.

At the same time, the two machine gun squads and two rocket squads that Li Yunlong had deployed on the perimeter opened fire instantly!

"Da da da, da da da—!!!"

Ten Type 56 squad automatic weapons spewed fire.

The impact sent bricks and stones flying everywhere, instantly turning any enemy who dared to show their face into a sieve!

What's even more chilling are those ten 40-year-old firecrackers!

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

One rocket after another cleared the areas that the 99A could not reach.

Bunkers, sandbags, wooden stakes...

Blast them to pieces, along with the enemies inside!

Clear all obstacles for the charging cavalry!

……

Let's turn our attention back to the interior of the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold.

From the moment the 99A appeared in sight, the Japanese and puppet troops inside the stronghold were in a state of confusion.

Inside the pillbox, a puppet army squad leader was peering through the firing port at a "tank" he had never seen before in the distance, a sight filled with suspicion.

"What's that? A new tank from the Imperial Army? Why is it driving towards us?"

Before his question could be answered, death descended the next second!

"boom--!!!"

The upper part of the pillbox where he was located vanished instantly!

Violent tremors, scorching heat waves, flying bricks and stones, and shattered human tissue...

The entire pillbox, along with the Japanese soldiers inside, was instantly decimated!

The same scene was playing out almost simultaneously on three other pillboxes!

"Baka! What's going on?"

"Artillery fire! Heavy artillery!"

"Amaterasu Omikami... Help!"

"My leg! My leg is trapped! Help me..."

……

In an instant, the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold was filled with cries of agony, resembling a ghost town!

Immediately afterwards, the main gate fortifications were also blasted into the air by a single blast!

A detachment of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops guarding behind the fortifications also perished!

In less than a minute, the four strongest pillars and the gates of the stronghold were completely destroyed!

In fact, by this time, the entire stronghold had already been crippled!

Inside a pillbox, there is at least one squad of Japanese soldiers (10 men).

Four pillboxes and a squad guarding the gate—at least five squads of Japanese soldiers—were decimated by the 99A mortars within a minute!

You should know that when the 99A broke through the enemy lines, they faced an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers!

If it weren't for the pillbox, we wouldn't need five cannons to take down a small squad of Japanese soldiers.

Even without using the 125mm smoothbore cannon, the 2.7mm dual-purpose machine gun on the roof of the vehicle would suffice!

The remaining Japanese soldiers and puppet troops, most of whom were originally in barracks, bunkers, or as reserves, were now completely dumbfounded!

"This...this is impossible..."

"The Ono squad... the Inoue squad... they've all been wiped out!"

"We...we're finished..."

At that moment, the Japanese were afraid!

This may be the first time they have felt fear since arriving in China!

This is our outpost!

Even a whole regiment of enemies might not be able to take down this stronghold!

And now, in less than a minute, he's crippled!

Could it be that the enemy has deployed a division?

At least five 105mm howitzers were used?

Otherwise, how could this be...?

Some of the Japanese soldiers were pale-faced, and their hands, gripping their Type 38 rifles, were trembling violently.

This is completely beyond their comprehension; this is not a battle, this is divine punishment!

Even the Japanese soldiers were terrified, and the puppet troops made a complete fool of themselves, their souls scattered.

Some of the puppet troops were already feeling weak in the knees, dropping their guns and trying to crawl into a corner.

However, before they could fully recover from their confusion and fear, an even more despairing scene unfolded!

"Boom—!"

"kill--!!"

The stronghold gate was smashed open, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of battle grew louder as they approached!

"Baka!"

"They're Eighth Route Army cavalry!"

"Fix bayonets! Everyone fix bayonets!"

Cavalry are too fast; it's best to fight with swords rather than spears!

Some of the surviving Japanese soldiers instinctively began assembling bayonets, intending to launch a counterattack.

But what happened next was something these beasts would never forget!

Because their lives have come to an end!

The charging cavalry company did not draw their sabers as usual, but instead raised their Type 56 rifles.

They don't even bother to aim.

Absolutely fast, relatively accurate!

Pick it up and start shooting!

"Da da da, da da da—!!!"

"Bang bang bang, bang bang bang—!!!"

Eighty Type 56 assault rifles opened fire simultaneously!

This terrifying scene completely terrified the Japanese soldiers.

"Aaaaaah—!"

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

"Help! Mom..."

Screams, the sound of bullets piercing flesh, and desperate cries filled the air!

Those Japanese soldiers who had just raised their guns were riddled with bullets before they even had a chance to engage in bayonet fighting!

The puppet troops were completely devastated!

They had never seen anything like it before.

The Eighth Route Army actually had a "flower machine gun" that could fire in rapid succession.

How can we fight like this?

In close combat, machine guns are virtually invincible!

They won't give you time to pull the bolt, nor will they engage you in bayonet fighting.

"Stop fighting! We surrender! We surrender!"

Some of the puppet soldiers were so frightened that they threw their guns on the ground and raised their hands high.

Once there's a first one, there'll be a second, a third...

In a short time, a large number of them surrendered.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"We surrender too! Spare our lives, Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

"I'm not fighting anymore! Never again!"

The puppet soldiers rushed to throw their broken guns on the ground and raised their hands high, afraid that if they were even a second too slow, they would be riddled with bullets.

Surprisingly, a few Japanese soldiers also chose to surrender.

"I surrender!"

"Kousang (surrender)!"

……

From the moment Shen Wangjia fired the first shot to the moment the last gunshot rang out inside the stronghold, the entire process took less than three minutes!

In just 180 seconds, the once arrogant and domineering enemy, who had been entrenched here with their fortified positions, had been either killed, maimed, or surrendered.

The cavalrymen also managed to control their restless warhorses, their faces showing a hint of bewilderment, and... a sense of extreme unreality and disorientation.

Although they knew that with the new weapons Mr. Shen had sent, taking down this stronghold should not be a problem.

But they never expected the process to be so... devastating!

So easy!

Many soldiers had even prepared for the worst, but the Japanese actually... surrendered?

That was a thrilling battle!

That was fucking awesome!

"Damn it..."

Li Yunlong cursed subconsciously, but didn't know what word to follow up to describe his feelings at that moment.

"Sun Desheng! Take your men and lock up all those who surrendered! Count their numbers and separate them for guarding!"

Although Li Yunlong wished he could slaughter all these beasts, discipline is discipline!

After dealing with the prisoners, Li Yunlong immediately asked the question that concerned him most.

"Platoons! Immediately take a headcount and report casualties! Quickly!"

Then, each class began to report, organized by class:

"Reporting to the commander! First platoon, first squad, no casualties!"

"First platoon, second shift: No injuries!"

"One platoon, three shifts, no injuries!"

……

"Third platoon, third shift, no injuries!"

……
