Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 37: A Sweep Away! The System Rewards Burst!

The Eighth Route Army's offensive power and combat effectiveness were too strong. They simply couldn't hold their ground or maintain their position. The enemy's shells seemed to have eyes, landing precisely on their positions.

Under intense pressure and lethality, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated into the room, where they had lost two-thirds of their personnel.

The remaining hundred or so men attempted to put up a stubborn resistance by taking refuge in the houses.

"Those bastards, they're fast runners!!"

Zhang Mierui was not surprised by this result, but after eliminating the remaining enemies in the surrounding area, he did not rush to launch an attack.

Once the enemy takes refuge inside buildings, the grenade launcher becomes less effective, and they will lose a major offensive asset.

From here on out, a real, decisive battle is needed.

During this period, they trained extensively and became very familiar with the challenges of such battles.

After a moment's thought, an idea came to him: "Light and heavy machine guns will provide cover, assault team, follow me!"

Zhang Mierri's eyes hardened, and he was about to personally lead the team to launch an attack, but he was immediately stopped by Huang Erhu, the deputy company commander beside him.

"Company commander, I'll go!" Huang Erhu said in a deep voice, and then led three assault teams out.

"Fire cover!" Zhang Mierui reacted and immediately shouted.

In an instant, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns opened fire simultaneously, and a dense barrage of bullets poured down on the windows and door frames of the house like a torrential rain.

The Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the houses were beaten so badly that they dared not show their heads. They could only cower in their shells, holding grenades in their hands, listening to the footsteps outside, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

The three assault teams rushed to the platform like arrows released from a bow, but they did not board.

As soon as Huang Erhu, who was leading the team, raised his hand, everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Grenade!"

Huang Erhu shouted and pulled the pin on a grenade, throwing it towards the nearest house.

Other assault team members followed suit, throwing grenades one after another, some exploding outside the door, others flying directly into the house through windows and doorways.

The Japanese and puppet troops who were lying in ambush, intending to launch a counterattack, did not expect that the Eighth Route Army was so cunning that they did not fall for it at all.

As the grenades flew in, they let out desperate and miserable howls.

"Baka!!!"

"Grenade!!!"

They desperately wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The grenade exploded instantly inside the house. In the confined space, the Japanese and puppet troops had nowhere to hide and were subjected to a barrage of shrapnel from every angle.

At this moment, Huang Erhu seized the opportunity and rushed out without saying a word.

The commanders and soldiers of the three assault teams did the same; they charged forward silently without making a sound or shouting.

At the same time, the Third and Fourth Companies also adopted the same offensive tactics, and the Japanese and puppet troops suffered another heavy blow, and had no choice but to continue to retreat inward.

Before long, the troops had taken control of all the entrances and exits of the buildings around the train station, trapping all the Japanese and puppet troops inside.

Zhang Mierui followed, glancing sideways inside: "Use grenades to clear the way, don't be afraid to waste them."

Upon hearing his words, everyone responded, and the troops continued their attack.

During the training, the regimental commander seemed to have mentioned to them that when encountering difficult tasks, especially urban warfare.

Hand grenades are the most suitable weapon for this type of combat, apart from submachine guns, pistols, and other close-combat firepower.

Scouting the way involves more than just personnel; it also involves throwing grenades to ask for directions.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

One after another, grenades and melon grenades were detonated, crashing into the house like hailstones.

"Boom! Boom!"

Explosions continued to rang out. Everyone pressed themselves against the walls, and if they couldn't see anyone or came across a room, they would throw one or even several grenades at it first.

Breakthrough and advance amidst the explosion.

"Baka!!!!"

A Japanese sergeant was thinking of using the obstruction of sight to catch the Eighth Route Army off guard.

But to their surprise, instead of seeing the Eighth Route Army soldiers, they saw several melon-shaped grenades made in the Empire flying towards them.

Amidst the explosion, he collapsed to the ground, filled with endless regret and resentment.

The guard regiment's "ample ammunition, just use firepower to overwhelm" attitude completely stunned the Japanese and puppet troops.

Where had they ever seen Eighth Route Army soldiers like this before?

In the past, the Eighth Route Army was short of ammunition, and after firing three shots, they had to fight them with bayonets.

But this unit in front of them was throwing grenades around like they were free, and bullets were raining down like a storm.

The Japanese and puppet troops were beaten so badly that they cried out for their parents, their already small numbers were reduced sharply, and their living space was constantly being squeezed.

The Japanese soldiers knew that if they couldn't change this situation, it would be a form of slow suicide for them.

I know it, but there's nothing I can do about it.

We advanced as the enemy retreated, pressing forward step by step, clearing the way with firepower, leaving the Japanese and puppet troops completely helpless.

In close combat, reaction speed and individual skills are what matter most. The guards and soldiers, who are practically superhuman, not only have their physical strength greatly enhanced, but their accuracy is off the charts, and their minds are exceptionally clear.

With both formidable combat capabilities and flexible tactical thinking, the remaining Japanese and puppet troops were no match for them. No, to be precise, the Japanese found themselves completely crushed by the Eighth Route Army.

At this point, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops either surrendered or were eliminated, and the battle entered a rapid mopping-up phase.

As Chu Feng left the artillery position and headed towards the train station, he had only gone halfway when he heard the gunfire from the direction of the train station gradually weaken.

When he was still five or six minutes away from the train station, the gunfire completely stopped.

"Ding-dong!"

A crisp system notification sounded in Chu Feng's mind.

Chu Feng paused, his face instantly lighting up with ecstasy. He had anticipated that once those three firing points were eliminated, the subsequent battle would be much easier, but he hadn't expected it to end so quickly!

From start to finish, it took less than twenty minutes. It was absolutely devastating!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Feng entered the system space.

As he entered, time in the real world instantly froze.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for eliminating 423 Japanese and puppet troops, gaining 423 experience points and 1126 merit points!"

「叮咚！恭喜宿主等级从3级提升至4级！获得等级奖励：MP38冲锋鎗*200支、9*19毫米帕拉贝鲁姆手枪弹*10万发、M7枪榴弹发射器全套设计与生产工艺技术*1！」

System notifications rang out in succession, and Chu Feng's eyes lit up instantly: "Hmm? It seems there's something interesting mixed in with this time's rewards?"

His gaze immediately fell on the special reward in his inventory, and the system's description then appeared.

"M7 grenade launcher complete design and manufacturing process technology: This weapon is an infantry weapon that entered service with the United States in 1943, with a maximum range of 228 meters. After learning, the host will have a complete grasp of the weapon's design drawings and manufacturing process, and can directly organize its production."

After reading the description, Chu Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Good heavens! This reward is amazing! They've actually given away the complete technology for a grenade launcher!"

This is really good stuff!
