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

Chapter 303 Sending Warmth

Kong Jie naturally wanted to recruit such a talent.

"Of course, you were forced into this, so there's no need to blame yourself! Lao Zhu, don't worry, I will avenge your family!"

Zhu Ziran turned his head to Kong Jie with a questioning look on his face.

"Revenge? Revenge for what?"

"Weren't your family members killed by the Japanese?"

"They've already escaped!"

Kong Jie was a little embarrassed and immediately pointed at that person.

"Hey, ignite all the vents immediately, and notify Lao Ding and Lao Xing to do this!"

In an instant, the bunkers in the moat turned into small lanterns, and then into ground cannons.

"Bang bang bang".

The successive explosions made the city of Linfen particularly lively.

At this time, Ishida Keio, who was hiding in the underground fortifications of Linfen City to avoid the bombing, had no idea about the situation outside the city.

After all, it only took two minutes from the fire to the explosion, and the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications did not have time to report to Ishida Keio.

The ninth day of the attack on Linfen.

The Japanese newspaper in Shanghai has published a report:

《On the ninth day, Linfen is safe and sound! 》

In addition, the radio station controlled by the Japanese was also mocking the Independent Column and the Huahuoren Tomb, and claiming that the Independent Column would be defeated.

"Damn you little Japs, are you cursing? Contact Lao Ding immediately and have them report the situation!"

Wang Meng looked at Li Yunlong, who was so angry that he put his hands on his hips, and immediately reported the battle situation of Ding Wei and other three infantry divisions yesterday.

"Old Li, Old Ding reported yesterday that we have basically taken over the moat!"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, but then dimmed with heartache.

"How many soldiers did we lose?"

Li Yunlong clenched his hands tightly. Attacking such fortifications would surely result in huge casualties, and he had already prepared himself mentally.

Wang Meng shook his head.

"Just say what I tell you to say. There will be casualties in war! When the entire independent column is really defeated, it will be our turn!"

"I mean zero casualties!"

"Don't lie to me, just tell me!"

Seeing that Li Yunlong didn't believe it, Wang Meng repeated in detail the battle situation reported by Ding Wei.

"Good fellow, give this old Zhu a commendation! He will come to work in Pingshun and design fortifications for us. He is a real talent!"

In Linfen City, the three infantry divisions inspected the moats in their respective areas. All the bunkers and fortifications had been destroyed, and at this time their biggest enemy had become the Japanese devils in the city.

"Call for a round of bombing first, then advance step by step!"

As soon as Ding Wei gave the order, he was visited by the communicator.

"Commander, Commander Kong has sent you a gift. Please take a look when you have time!"

"Yohoo? The sun is rising from the west? Old Kong has been thinking about how to save money these years. I only see him eating but never spitting out! Come, what's the gift? Show it to me!"

Kong Jie opened an envelope, and the expression in his eyes immediately became interesting.

"Call Kong Jie for me!"

The operator immediately connected the call to the 2nd Infantry Division and asked directly for Kong Jie.

"I'm Kong Jie, please speak!"

"Lao Kong, where did you get this thing? Is it reliable?"

"Old Ding, why don't you give it a try? You'll know after a try! Anyway, I believe it!"

"Okay, I'll trust you this time! I'll advance from the east, and you and Lao Xing will advance from the southwest and northwest respectively! See you in the center!"

The three infantry divisions began to advance precisely according to the blueprint drawn by Zhu Ziran.

When they arrived at the gate of a small courtyard, Zhao Dajun, the flamethrower who was following the infantry company, was chewing instant noodles leisurely.

The infantry company commander came up flatteringly, smiling.

"Dajun, we found an underground tunnel entrance in that yard according to the blueprint. We have already cleared out all the Japanese outside. When are you free? Can you come and give them some warmth?"

Zhao Dajun stuffed the last handful of instant noodles into his mouth and slowly stretched out a hand.

The infantry company commander immediately handed over a kettle and a pack of instant noodles.

Zhao Dajun was not polite. He drank two sips of water, put the kettle and instant noodles in his pocket, and walked into the yard with a proud look.

"Dajun, I see you are exhausted. Why don't you lend us this flamethrower and do it ourselves without your help?"

"No, no, this thing is not the same as your semi-automatic rifle, the recoil is very strong!"

As he was speaking, Zhao Dajun arrived at the yard, found the entrance to the hole, then lay down on the ground and winked at the soldier next to him.

The soldier pulled the trigger on a grenade, paused for three seconds, and then threw it into the cave.

This move is to prevent the Japanese soldiers lurking at the entrance of the cave from taking the opportunity to shoot secretly.

There was a muffled sound.

Zhao Dajun gently lifted the handle of the flamethrower and pointed the muzzle slightly downward at the dark, sloping tunnel entrance.

Pulling the trigger, a huge dragon of fire shot into the tunnel. In a moment, the surrounding air became hot as if it was ignited.

Then came the heart-wrenching cries of the Japanese soldiers, and even a few firemen rushed out from the tunnel entrance, but were immediately knocked down by the infantry.

With the help of Zhu Ziran's drawings, the flamethrowers and infantry worked together like crazy, burning the Japanese devils until they screamed in pain along the way.

By noon, one-fifth of the cleanup was complete.

Under Zhu Ziran's leadership, some puppet army officers who had met him several times in the past also surrendered in an organized manner without telling the Japanese.

Ding Wei and the other two were numb to the surrender every day.

Of course, these surrendered puppet soldiers will be screened and tried. Those who deserve to be shot will be shot, those who deserve to be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who have no problems will naturally be allowed to go home.

Still hiding in the underground fortifications, Ishida Keio saw his territory getting smaller and smaller, and his soldiers getting fewer and fewer. All his previous confident preparations were resolved one by one by the independent column.

"Baga, send a telegram to General Shinozuka Yoshio. Due to the rebellion of the Imperial Army, our 69th Division is unable to withstand the attack of the Independent Column with three times the force. We have now taken the initiative to shrink our defense! Please provide us with support as soon as possible!"

Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Ishida Keio, who was still confident yesterday, and turned 180 degrees today. The situation was reversed overnight? Was it really caused by the rebellion of the Imperial Army?

Yoshio Shinozuka no longer had the energy to pursue the difficult problem before him: how to resolve the siege of Linfen while also ensuring the safety of Taiyuan and Yangquan.

"Where are the troops attacking Taiyuan and Yangquan now?"

"General, the Second Armored Division of the Independent Column has advanced to the outskirts of Pingyao, and the Third Division has captured Heshun!"

Yoshio Shinozuka felt even more depressed as he watched the advancing armored division.

He really thought too much...
