Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 7: From Slingshots to Cannons! One Shot Takes Down Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki!

"call!"

This sound, like heavenly music, instantly relieved Chu Feng.

"Damn it!"

"If you don't come soon, I'm going to die here today!"

Chu Feng no longer hesitated and said, "Let's retreat and rejoin the instructor and the others!"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the Japanese soldiers, especially at the place where Tiger had died, and paused for a moment.

"Tiger, just you wait!"

"I'll get revenge for you in a minute!!"

Soon, the troops reunited with their instructor, Huang Zhenggong.

Without Chu Feng saying anything, the troops quickly dispersed and, taking advantage of the terrain, engaged in battle with the Yamazaki Battalion.

"Company Commander!!" Huang Zhenggong's face was full of worry as he looked him up and down. "Are you hurt? Are you injured?"

Looking at his concerned partner, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "I won't die!" As he spoke, he wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve.

Then, his gaze turned grim as he looked behind him, and he asked urgently, "Where's the artillery? Did we bring the mortars?"

"I want to avenge Hu Zi and all those comrades who sacrificed their lives."

"Damn it! I'll be restless if I don't blow these bastards up today!" Before the instructor could even speak, a voice rang out.

"Company commander, here! The cannon's here!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng turned his head, his eyes lighting up: "Haha, not bad, not bad, it's actually an 82mm mortar, great!"

With that, he strode over.

But after running two steps, he stopped as if he had thought of something and said to his instructor Huang Zhenggong, "Old Huang, be careful of the Japanese flanking forces. You command the troops to defend the front, and I will provide you with artillery support."

"Let's join forces and give him a good beating. We absolutely cannot back down another step."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhenggong immediately replied, "Yes!" He didn't know that Chu Feng could operate grenade launchers or mortars.

However, at this moment, I had no time to care about such things.

"Da da da!!!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!!!"

"Thump! Boom!! Thump!! Boom!!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

In an instant, the concentrated firepower of the guard company was no less than that of the main force of the Japanese army of the same number, and instantly suppressed the Japanese army's strong offensive momentum.

The Japanese soldiers, who had underestimated their enemy, were caught off guard and retreated more than a hundred meters in disarray, leaving behind dozens of corpses.

"Baka!!!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army, Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki was furious. He hadn't expected that he was about to take down this small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived.

"attack!!"

"Fire! Quickly, fire!"

"Launch an attack!!!"

Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki did not give up, nor was he afraid. Although the Eighth Route Army reinforcements arrived just in time and their firepower was not weak, he was confident in his own fighting ability.

"Tong~! Tong! Tong!"

The cannons behind quickly turned their muzzles, and shells rained down on the guard company's makeshift position.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The violent explosion caused considerable casualties to the guard company.

One squad of Japanese soldiers attacked from the front, while two other squads of Japanese soldiers flanked from the left and right.

The gunfire was intense.

At this time, Chu Feng also joined up with the artillery.

Seeing the artillery team setting up the 82mm mortar, Chu Feng rushed forward and, without waiting for the soldiers to report, began to work nimbly with his hands.

"Click! Click!"

With a few crisp clicks, he quickly disassembled the triangular gun carriage and tossed it aside. Then, clutching the gun barrel, he shouted, "What are you standing there for? Shells!"

The artillerymen standing nearby were so shocked by their company commander's actions that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

A veteran stammered, "Company...Company Commander! How can we fight without such a commanding presence?!" His voice trembled with shock.

"Without the gun mount, how can the accuracy be controlled?" If Chu Feng weren't the company commander, he would have pointed his finger at him and yelled, "You son of a bitch, you're just sabotaging us!"

Chu Feng didn't explain: "We'll talk about the shells after we've used them all!" Then he added, "Besides, who said you can't fire a cannon without a gun mount?"

The soldiers fell silent; rank mattered.

On the battlefield, the company commander is the highest authority; they just need to follow orders.

Chu Feng surveyed the battlefield from his vantage point, skipping over the attacking troops and quickly locking onto the Japanese artillery units.

"Cannonball!"

He shouted and stretched out his hand.

Immediately, a shell landed in his hand.

"Pass!"

Without hesitation, Chu Feng loaded the shell into the muzzle. With a crisp sound as the shell slid down and hit the barrel, the primer was ignited the moment the shell hit the bottom.

An 82mm mortar shell flew out of the barrel.

It flew towards the artillery position, located about 700 or 800 meters away, behind the Japanese attacking force.

"Cannonball!"

After firing one shot, Chu Feng continued his search with his eyes, and reached out his hand again.

The soldier reluctantly handed over the shell; he dared not ask or speak, and could only cooperate unconditionally.

"Pass!"

Another shell flew out.

At that moment, the first shell landed precisely, striking the Japanese artillery position.

"boom!!!"

The loud explosion instantly drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

"pretty!!!"

"Damn it, who hit him? Hahaha!!"

When Huang Zhenggong, the political instructor who was directing the troops, saw the destroyed Japanese artillery position, he couldn't help but shout excitedly.

"boom!!!"

Just then, another burst of fire rose from the Japanese artillery position, followed by a violent explosion.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

The morale of the guard company's officers and soldiers soared, and with two shells, they wiped out the artillery position that posed the greatest threat to them.

"Beat him!!"

"Those sons of bitches of Japanese devils, they're showing off!!!"

"Fire! Grenades! Let's go!"

"..."

At the artillery position, the two artillerymen, witnessing their company commander's incredible maneuver, were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with undisguised shock.

"No, can you fire a cannon like that?"

They were considered veteran artillerymen, and usually a few of them would do any testing missions at the arsenal. They considered themselves to be quite skilled.

But now, compared to his own company commander...

Sit down!

They are from completely different worlds.

Ignoring all of this, Chu Feng quickly focused his gaze on a Japanese soldier in the ranks who was jumping around, holding a command sword, and directing from behind a rock.

"Um?"

He narrowed his eyes, grabbed his binoculars, and looked: "Lieutenant Colonel? Heh!"

"Yamazaki Jihei, I've got you now!"

"You've got a tricky way of dodging; neither light nor heavy machine guns nor rifles can hit you."

"But don't forget, I'm using indirect fire artillery, specifically designed for targets like you!"

Without hesitation, he immediately stretched out his hand: "Cannonballs!"

Without further hesitation, the soldier quickly handed it over.

"Pass!!"

Chu Feng loaded the cannon without hesitation, and felt a jolt in the barrel as an 82mm mortar shell flew out.

"kill!!!"

"attack!!"

Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki Jihei, who was shouting wildly, was unaware that he had been targeted by the God of Artillery.

suddenly!

The whistling sound of a shell falling to the ground rang out.

"Sir!!!"

A Japanese soldier instinctively lunged forward.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, the shell landed precisely next to Lieutenant Colonel Jihei Yamazaki and exploded.

In an instant, all the Japanese soldiers around, including Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki Jihei, were blown to pieces and lost consciousness without uttering a sound.

One shot, and Captain Yamazaki is gone!

After the cannons fired, Chu Feng, who was observing through binoculars, witnessed all of this and felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

It wasn't because of his artillery skills that we cheered.

But this shot was for Tiger, and for avenging the fallen soldiers.

"Tiger, a Japanese lieutenant colonel and battalion commander have been killed along with you. Are you satisfied now?"

With a thought to himself, Chu Feng's expression returned to its cold and stern state. He turned his gaze to the battlefield, and the 82mm mortar opened fire again, this time targeting the attacking Japanese troops.
