Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 5 Defense? No, Offense! Chu Feng: "The best defense is offense!"

"Huff! Huff!"

The group quickly retreated four or five hundred meters before stopping. While sending people to continue monitoring, Chu Feng gathered the remaining people together.

At this moment, the group of people were panting heavily, but their faces showed undisguised excitement and exhilaration.

The reasons for their excitement and exhilaration were twofold: firstly, they had won a battle, and secondly, they had witnessed their company commander's incredible artillery fire.

"To make a long story short!"

Chu Feng looked at everyone and said, "We just seized the opportunity and wiped out a Japanese squad, achieving a good start."

"But it's just a small team after all, so it'll be tougher later on."

"So we can't hold out to the death. The Japanese have strong firepower and many men. One charge and we'll all be wiped out here."

"We must break up our forces into smaller groups and launch proactive harassment attacks!"

Chu Feng spoke quickly, pointing to the weapons and equipment in front of him: "We currently have 4 grenade launchers and 4 light machine guns."

"Those who know how to use grenade launchers, step forward!"

Upon hearing this, four soldiers stepped forward.

Chu Feng looked at the four people and said, "You two will form guerrilla groups and move around freely to find opportunities."

He then looked at one of the soldiers and said, "You, come with me."

The soldier who was called upon quickly came to Chu Feng's side.

Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "The remaining personnel will be divided into two groups, with the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader each leading one group, equipped with two machine guns, to form an assault team."

"Attack from both flanks and assist each other!"

Chu Feng paused, his expression becoming very serious, and said, "The best defense is offense!"

"Although we are few in number, it doesn't mean we are weak in combat."

"As long as we hold out until the main force arrives, it will be a victory."

He looked at the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader and said, "Fight smarter, use the best skills of our Eighth Route Army."

"Did you hear me?"

The entire row of men responded in unison, "Yes, Company Commander!"

After witnessing their company commander's incredible artillery skills in the recent battle, and taking down a Japanese squad in their first engagement, everyone had no more doubts.

"Alright, allocate quickly."

At a command, the platoon quickly divided into its own forces, with Chu Feng leading six soldiers to leave first.

The platoon leader and deputy platoon leader, each leading their respective groups, moved from the left and right sides towards the Yamazaki Battalion.

at the same time!

Looking at the battlefield just now, with corpses strewn all over the ground, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki's expression was grim.

"Baka!!"

"Where did these Eighth Route Army guerrillas come from?"

"In just two or three minutes of attack, we've already lost nearly a hundred men?"

"This is already one-sixth of my forces."

Seeing the enraged battalion commander, the other Japanese officers lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Captain! Captain!"

Just then, a Japanese soldier came running over in a panic, carrying a battle map and a compass.

"What?!"

Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki's gaze sharpened as he looked at the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldier hurriedly pulled out a battle map: "We've deviated 60 degrees north from our planned position."

"Baka!!!"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki flew into a rage and slapped him across the face.

"Smack!!!"

The Japanese soldier was immediately knocked to the ground.

Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki's eyes were filled with ferocity and anger. First, they lost nearly a hundred men, and now they had gone astray.

For a moment, the Japanese soldiers dared not breathe, especially the junior Japanese officers around them.

"Captain!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming slightly somber, a Japanese captain spoke up: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us has very poor firepower; it must be a small force."

"They dared to attack us, which means they were obviously trying their best to stop us from advancing, so I guess there is a high probability that the Eighth Route Army is a key target ahead."

"For example, field hospitals or logistics bases."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki, who had been furious, immediately understood.

"Yoshi!!!"

"Your guess is correct!"

At this point, he looked at the main road ahead and said, "In that case, let's speed up our progress."

"Although I don't know what it is, it's obviously not far off."

As for the arsenal, just before the battle began, instructor Huang Zhenggong had distributed the weapons and equipment.

Seeing the soldiers' cheerful expressions, he also smiled.

But the smile froze instantly as the explosions and gunshots rang out.

"Gunshots?"

His gaze sharpened as he turned toward the direction from which the sound came.

"South?"

Thinking of this, his expression changed: "Where did the company commander and the first platoon go?"

"Instructor, it's that way!" The second platoon leader quickly pointed in the direction the voice came from.

"Walk!"

Upon hearing this, instructor Huang Zhenggong immediately shouted.

Because of the equipment distribution, the guard company had already assembled and did not need to wait any longer.

As soon as he finished speaking, he followed the instructor and sprinted towards the direction from which the gunfire was coming.

"Czech-style, Hanyang-made!"

On the way, hearing the gunshots, the second platoon leader said anxiously, "It must be the company commander and his men!"

"With so many grenades exploding, we've definitely run into the Japanese!"

Instructor Huang Zhenggong nodded, his expression somewhat grave: "Speed ​​up!"

They had just crossed the mountain and were about to enter the mountains when they saw Gou Dan running back.

"Dog Egg, what happened?"

Upon seeing this person, the second platoon leader immediately asked loudly.

Dog Egg, who had been running wildly, was overjoyed when he saw the political instructor and the main force of the company. He shouted as he ran, "Japanese devils! Japanese devils!"

"Instructor, we've encountered the Japanese!"

"The company commander told me to tell you to take the company and provide rapid support, and at the same time arrange for the comrades in the field hospital and the arsenal to be transferred."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and they instinctively gripped their guns tighter.

"damn it!"

Instructor Huang Zhenggong couldn't help but curse, "Where did these little devils come from? How did they manage to bypass so many of our troops?"

However, Huang Zhenggong did not hesitate and sped up again: "Quick, quick, hurry up and meet up with the company commander. They are outnumbered and cannot hold out for too long."

As for the field hospitals and arsenals, they had already begun their relocation when the gunfire started, so he didn't need to do anything.

The guard company's primary task was to hold off this Japanese army force, whose numbers were unknown, and buy them time.

Just as instructor Huang Zhenggong led the main force of the company rushing over, the Japanese soldiers also quickly disposed of the corpses.

Fearing that the Eighth Route Army might escape, and because they were deep in enemy territory and couldn't carry the supplies, they cut off the hair of ordinary soldiers and the ears of officers before hastily setting off.

somewhere!

Chu Feng had already set up the grenade launchers, but this time, it wasn't one, but two.

He held one in each hand, while two soldiers lay beside him, responsible for loading and firing.

The remaining two grenade launchers were operated by four other soldiers, who hid them in different locations.

They didn't have the same incredible artillery skills as their company commander; they could only guarantee hitting the target within 200-300 meters, and they couldn't even guarantee a kill on the first shot.

"Fire!!!"

Looking down at the Japanese soldiers who were moving again, Chu Feng's voice rang out without a trace of emotion.

"Tong! Tong!~"

In an instant, he felt his hands tremble, and two grenades soared into the air. The two soldiers quickly completed the reloading.

"Boom! Boom!!"

Just as the second wave of grenades was about to be launched, the first two grenades also landed precisely in the Japanese ranks.

Flames rose and dust flew.

Shrapnel quickly finished off the surrounding Japanese soldiers, killing nearly 20 of them in one fell swoop.
