Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 416 Suspicious tactics

Wang Meng felt puzzled. This old man made a request the first time they met, and it sounded like it was not something that was easy to satisfy. Is he so familiar with him now?

"Uh, old man, since it's an unreasonable request, then don't say it!"

This move caught Meng's father off guard. He didn't expect that he would not play by the rules. According to the normal procedure, he should have answered: Please go on, please go on?

"No, the words are on the tip of my tongue, I have to get them out!"

Wang Meng wiped his sweat and thought, since you have to say it, then just say it!

"Chief of Staff Wang, you and I have similar interests. Can we become brothers?"

After hearing this, Wang Meng almost fell off his chair. What does this make sense?

However, the first one to object was Meng Fanle. He looked at Wang Meng anxiously.

"Dad, Le'er and Chief of Staff Wang are superiors and subordinates. They can call each other brothers in private. You have sworn brotherhood with him, so what am I?"

"I've thought about this. You can still address him as you like in the army, but you have to call him uncle in front of me. When I'm not here, you can still address him as brother!"

"Everyone has his own opinion?"

"Yes, to each his own!"

Wang Meng and Meng Fanle rolled their eyes at the same time. They didn’t expect that the old man was so trendy.

"Old man, let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it later. This is not a safe place. The Japs can come at any time. Let's go back and talk about it first!"

"That's fine, but you have to keep this in mind, Brother Wang!"

"Okay, okay, let's retreat first!"

Wang Meng and Meng Fan each carried a large pile of books, while Meng's mother simply carried her clothes and other valuables on her back.

A group of people walked out of the yard, called Long Wenjian, and the six of them quickly walked towards the entrance of the town.

The guide led the way, followed by Long Wenjian, with the four of them sandwiched in the middle.

Fortunately, they did not waste much time. When they arrived at the sentry post, they found that the Japanese and puppet troops did not make any unusual movements.

Only the puppet army officer stared at them with cunning eyes, but when Wang Meng glared at him, he obediently turned his head away.

Long Wenjian followed behind the team, vigilantly observing the situation around him, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he passed the sentry.

"It's safe now!"

Before Long Wenjian could finish his muttering, a sharp whistle was heard.

Looking back, I saw a large number of Japanese devils and puppet troops rushing towards the sentry post.

"Run!"

Long Wenjian raised his hand and shot the puppet army officer who was about to draw his gun, hitting him right in the center.

"This is damn accurate... I'll pull out my gun later next time..."

But he never did it again. After struggling a few times, he died.

Long Wenjian ran and looked back while shooting, but because Meng Fanle and others were carrying too much luggage and were moving too slowly, they could see the Japanese getting closer and closer.

"Chief of Staff, take your men and retreat first. I'll cover your rear!"

Wang Meng did not delay at this time and handed the book on his back to the guide.

"Comrade, take them to the suspension bridge!"

After saying that, Wang Meng took Meng Fanle's pistol, fired left and right, and slowly shot with Long Wenjian, with his backs against a big tree.

The two of them knocked down more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, but their bullets were almost gone!

"Captain Long, run!"

"run!"

The two of them ran as fast as they could. Without the burden of the luggage, they were faster than rabbits.

Before the Japanese soldiers could react, the two men ran more than a hundred meters away and were about to disappear in the jungle.

"Baga! Kill them!"

The Japanese didn't expect that these two people would escape, so they rushed forward in rage.

As Wang Meng ran, he shouted into the jungle:

"Fire! Fire!"

Apart from the echoes in the jungle, there was the rumbling of artillery fire. Three 50mm platoon-level mortars roared, and the shells exploded in the middle of the Japanese team.

The sister-in-law was so scared that she fell to the ground.

"Baka! Didn't the Imperial Army report that there were only a small number of enemies? Why are there mortars? Baka!"

The puppet army battalion commander crawled up to the side of the Japanese squadron leader and poked his hat with his box gun.

"Taijun, according to my guess, they are just bluffing, maybe they are playing a trick! I suggest that the imperial army charge immediately!"

"Yoshi! All the Imperial Army charge!"

"What? We charge?"

"Yes, since this is your judgment, then go and prove it yourself! What? Do you want to disobey orders and be subject to military law?"

Under the coercion of the Japanese devils' bayonets and machine guns, more than 200 puppet soldiers reluctantly crawled up from the ground and rushed towards the sound of artillery fire.

As expected, there was no gunfire halfway through the charge.

"Brothers, these are just a small group of enemies. Let's charge and show the Imperial Army that we are not cowards!"

The Imperial Army rushed forward with full morale. Seeing that there was no danger, the Japanese soldier also got up from the ground.

"Kill him!"

However, once the Japanese got up, the noise was different. The mortar fired at the theoretical maximum rate of fire, and sparks were coming out of the gun barrel.

The puppet soldiers looked at the Japanese soldiers who were screaming and crying in the explosion, and they were secretly glad that they did not stand with those jinxes, otherwise they would probably have suffered the consequences as well.

However, the flames that emerged from the jungle taught them a lesson again. Four machine guns and countless rifles wiped out dozens of them. The rest lay flat on the ground, wishing they could dig a hole to hide themselves in.

"Battalion Commander, are you still going to charge? The Imperial Army is watching from behind!"

"Charge! If you stand up, you will definitely die. If you don't stand up, you may not die! Besides, why don't the imperial army charge themselves? Just wait!"

However, this powerful firepower only lasted for two minutes, and the jungle fell into silence again! The only sound in the silence was the chirping of birds!

However, this time the Japanese and puppet troops had learned their lesson and no longer stood up rashly. Instead, they shouted and fired tentatively into the jungle.

After about twenty minutes, with no response, the puppet soldiers slowly stood up and moved step by step into the jungle.

After searching for a long time, all they saw were bullet shells on the ground and no other people.

The Japanese squadron leader rushed to the bullet shell with his command knife in hand, looked at the deserted jungle, and slapped the puppet army battalion commander hard.

"Baga! Why don't you charge?"

The puppet army battalion commander covered his face and cursed the devils a hundred times in his heart, but he still said timidly:

"Taijun, it's not that we don't dare to charge, but the enemy's firepower is too strong. In order to preserve our strength, we are hiding for the time being, and..."

"And what!"

"And when I saw the Imperial Army lying on the ground, I thought it was some new battle order, so I followed your lead!"

"idiot!"

The other side of the puppet army battalion commander's face also became swollen, but his life was saved!

This style of fighting is the "confusing attack strategy" explored by the Independent Column, which uses powerful firepower to prevent the enemy from pursuing!
