Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 14 It's My Turn
After Chen Chengxing finished all the work and lit the stove, the onlookers were surprised to find that there was no smoke coming out of the stove!
It cannot be said that there was no smoke, but the smoke emitted was very little, and the smoke was flowing close to the ground, and did not float into the sky like normal.

"This is called a smokeless stove. As long as you learn this, you can make a fire in the wild at any time." Chen Chengxing said with a smile.

A successfully constructed smokeless stove will not produce any flame or smoke at a distance of 100 meters. Even if the enemy uses an aircraft for reconnaissance, it cannot be easily discovered, making it very easy to conceal.

In the next hour, Chen Chengxing began to teach the soldiers in the kitchen squad how to build a smokeless stove, and explained the key points to them in detail.

After all, some soldiers are really stubborn, and they really won't be able to learn if they are not explained clearly.

Moreover, even though Chen Chengxing explained it repeatedly and in detail, some soldiers still did not understand it.

But this doesn’t matter to Chen Chengxing. Their squad leader will be responsible for the education and learning of these people in the future.

This thing doesn't consume any energy anyway. If you can't learn it, just dig the ground every day. If you dig more, you will learn it sooner or later.

"Hey, you know what? After all, you are the leader, so you know a lot."

The soldiers held the hot bowls and talked while drinking.

"That's right, the commander only graduated from elementary school, a real cultured person." The soldier next to him gave a thumbs up.

This statement frightened their squad leader, who quickly stopped him, saying, "Stop, stop, stop talking. The captain hates it most when people say he graduated from elementary school."

"Ah? Wasn't the previous commander very proud?" This was an old soldier who served with Chen Chengxing. He remembered that his commander always compared his elementary school education with that of other commanders.

"I don't know. Anyway, he doesn't want to do it now, so it's better for everyone not to mention it." The squad leader said cautiously.

After hearing what the squad leader said, although everyone didn't know the reason, they decided to keep it in mind. Otherwise, if the team leader heard them bragging, they would not be able to bear it if he even scolded them.

When the Fourth Front Army set out secretly, the messenger who delivered the message to the commandos died along the way. Chen Chengxing's commandos did not receive the order, and when he woke up, there were less than 700 people left in their commandos.

Chen Chengxing had no choice but to lead his team northward to join the First Front Army. Along the way, he cursed in a very dirty and ugly way.

They couldn't bear being scolded like this.

After Chen Chengxing directed the kitchen team to build a smokeless stove, he drank the hot water and casually stuffed two steamed buns into his stomach.

"Come here quickly, little Japanese. My mouth is dry." Chen Chengxing handed the bowl of water to Wei Dayong and said helplessly.

When the ambush was successful before, in addition to weapons and ammunition, some canned beef was also seized. It was the first time Chen Chengxing had eaten meat since he traveled through time.

However, no matter how greedy Chen Chengxing was, he only took a bite and then shared it with others.

After all, only a few cans were seized that time. The entire regiment command received only one can, and the rest were distributed to the medical team by Chen Chengxing.

This time, the New Second Regiment was going to fight the Japanese's baggage train. Chen Chengxing had seen the list, and it was full of good stuff, except for weapons and ammunition, and canned beef were packed by the box.

After this battle, the New Second Regiment should be able to have a prosperous new year.

"Captain, don't worry. After the battle tomorrow, I will definitely get you a few cans to keep in the bottom of the box." Wei Dayong on the side said with a smile.

"You're giving me something to hide? I'm afraid you're not giving it to yourself. You're a playboy." Chen Chengxing glanced at Wei Dayong.

When Wei Dayong was a bodyguard for Li Yunlong, he often stole Li Yunlong's wine.

I saved a few cans of food, but I'm afraid they won't last more than two weeks or Wei Dayong will eat them all.

"Hehe. I have returned to secular life. Drinking alcohol and eating meat do not violate the rules." Wei Dayong said embarrassedly.

Chen Chengxing ignored Wei Dayong and just waved his hand to let him wash the dishes. He then returned to the observation point and replaced Luo Ping to rest for a while.

As the sky got darker, the number of Japanese soldiers on the road began to decrease until they disappeared completely. Chen Chengxing perked up, now it was time for them to act.

"Are you clear about your respective tasks?" Chen Chengxing asked in a low voice.

"Clear."

Xu Wu, Zheng Hua and Sun Xun all nodded.

"action!"

As Chen Chengxing's order was given, the three men immediately led their troops off the high ground and began to build fortifications at their respective positions.

According to Chen Chengxing's arrangement, the ambush was led by the first battalion, which was located on the hillside outside the south gate of Erlipu and was responsible for attacking the enemy's baggage convoy.

The 5th and 6th Companies of the nd Battalion were on the west side of Erlang Temple, responsible for blocking the return reinforcements of the Japanese vanguard infantry.

The 9th and 10th Companies of the rd Battalion were responsible for blocking the Japanese rear guard south of Liangjiegou.

Companies 7 and 11 were the reserve forces, on standby at the high ground.

The regimental headquarters, heavy machine guns and mortars were located on a hill 300 meters behind the first battalion.

In addition to being the fire signal, it is also responsible for suppressing the Japanese's firepower points.

That night, everyone was busy preparing.

In the early morning, all the members of the New Second Regiment stopped and waited quietly for the arrival of the Japanese supplies.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after two small groups of cavalry passed by on the road, the Japanese baggage train finally appeared.

(Japanese baggage truck)

Chen Chengxing observed the devil's every move through a telescope.

The baggage train was just as the system intelligence showed. The Japanese escort force had more than 200 people, divided into two groups, front and back, sandwiching the baggage squadron of about people in the middle.

The three are about 1 kilometer apart and are moving along the road.

Perhaps because the Japanese often passed through this road and had never been attacked, the Japanese baggage train did not conduct any reconnaissance and just swaggered into the encirclement of the New Second Regiment.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Chengxing immediately ordered the heavy machine guns to open fire.

“Da da da.” “Da da da da.” “Da da da da.”
The woodpecker-like sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the first battalion also launched an attack, firing light machine guns, rifles, and grenades at the Japanese.

"Thump, thump, thump." "Thump, thump, thump."
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Snap!" "Snap~".
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!".
The gunfire from the first battalion was mixed, with all kinds of sounds intertwined together.

The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were beaten to the ground, and the frightened mules and horses kept crashing into them, and from time to time some of them were knocked into deep ditches.

"Baga! There's an ambush! Support the baggage train immediately!"

When the captain of the vanguard infantry squadron heard the gunshots, he immediately ordered his troops to turn around.

If this batch of supplies were lost, ordinary soldiers would be fine, but as a forward commander, his career would definitely be over.
