Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 115 Unexpected Windfall

But compared with gaining two extra kilograms and losing life, life is naturally the most important.

Although bulletproof equipment is very good, it was rarely used either in the Auzhou battlefield or the Asian battlefield. As for why it was rarely used, it was mainly because the battlefield of World War II was already a mobile warfare, especially the need for long periods of walking, which was very physically demanding.

Carrying more than ten or even twenty kilograms of bulletproof equipment on your body while walking is very physically demanding. It is useless unless you have a good means of transportation.

The battle ended quickly. After this wave of strafing killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers, it was decided that the Japanese soldiers in the station had no chance of turning the tables.

The next step was to finish off the enemy and search the entire station. After searching the station, no other Japanese soldiers were found. All the Japanese soldiers in the station were killed in the first wave of grenade launch bombing and the second wave of machine gun fire.

After making sure it was safe, Wang Gensheng made a gesture. When Li Xiu, who was far away, saw Wang Gensheng's gesture, he immediately ordered the cavalry regiment that had been on standby to lead the war horses to load the rails.

It’s a pity that there is not much ammunition in the Japanese ammunition depot at the station. This is normal. After all, how much ammunition can a squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed there have!

However, although there was not much ammunition, there were quite a few steel rails in the station. There were about a hundred of these short light steel rails of 12.5 meters, and each rail weighed 312 kilograms.

One hundred steel rails weigh about thirty-one tons, which is not a lot of weight. The eight hundred war horses brought by the cavalry regiment are fully capable of transporting them.

So Wang Gensheng packed up everything and took it all away. Assuming that a horse can carry 150 kilograms, two horses can carry away one steel rail.

Of course, taking riding into consideration, four horses usually carry a steel rail, with two horses walking side by side. Then a wooden stick is used as a crossbeam in the middle, placed between the two horses, and then the steel rail is hung in the middle of the wooden stick.

In order to seize the rails this time, Wang Gensheng was naturally well prepared. Whether it was the wooden sticks used as crossbeams or the hemp ropes used to tie the rails, they were all prepared in full, and just the right amount.

With the joint efforts of thousands of people, the steel rails of the entire station were tied to war horses in less than ten minutes, and the weapons, ammunition and some supplies such as food in the station were also cleared out.

However, just as Wang Gensheng was about to lead the cavalry regiment back to Majia Village, a loud explosion startled Wang Gensheng. At this time, Li Xiu immediately reacted and said to Wang Gensheng:
"Commander, it seems the Japanese train ran over the bombs we set! Should we go over and take a look?"

Li Xiu's proposal was very tempting. After all, whether it was the Japanese rail patrol armored vehicles or the Japanese freight trains transporting supplies that were blown up, they could all make a killing. However, Wang Gensheng looked at the steel rails that had already been mounted on the warhorse and finally gave the order:
"Baili Xiu, take back the steel pipes transported by the cavalry regiment. The rest of the special forces, get on your horses and check with me for the situation. Li Xiu, lead the way!"

Following Wang Gensheng's order, the cavalry regiment naturally took the rails back to Majia Town, while Wang Gensheng took Li Xiu, the assault team and the grenade launcher team to check the situation.

When Wang Gensheng arrived, he found an armored patrol train that had been blown up and rolled off the tracks, and behind this armored patrol train was a freight train.

But now the train has stopped. There is no other way because the tracks have been blown up. If it doesn't stop, it will eventually derail.

However, quite a few Japanese soldiers got off this train, which didn't look very long. According to Li Xiu's night vision radar, there were at least a squadron of Japanese soldiers.

"Commander, a squadron of Japs isn't a lot. Should we take them down?"

Wang Gensheng looked at the armored patrol train that had been overturned by the bomb and lay on the ground with its wheels facing the sky. He said without hesitation, "Alright! A squadron of Japs isn't that many anyway. Li Xiu, you command the grenade launchers. Have them calibrate their targets. Wait until I tell you to fire after I get over there!"

Of course, the Japanese soldiers at this time did not know that they had been targeted by Li Xiu. After the captain of the Japanese squadron in charge of escorting saw the twisted and deformed rails that had been blown up, he naturally understood that if he wanted to repair this railway, he must have spare rails.

Fortunately, the Japanese knew that there was a station one kilometer ahead, and there were a lot of spare rails in the station.

In fact, it was not uncommon for the Japanese to see railways bombed. After all, this was not the first time. Otherwise, there would not be a squadron specifically responsible for escorting.

In the past, when trains had no escorts, the Eighth Route Army would blow up the tracks to force the trains to stop, then come up and loot them, taking away everything no matter what was being transported.

With the establishment of the train escort squadron, ordinary Eighth Route Army soldiers no longer dared to rob trains and could only watch the railway being repaired.

But what is strange is that it was only one kilometer away, and there was such a loud explosion. After waiting for so long, we still haven't seen the Japanese at the station send anyone to check the situation.

Just when the Japanese escort captain was about to send someone to the station to check the situation, a very familiar voice suddenly made the Japanese captain alert.

But it was too late. A large number of grenades from the grenade launchers fell on the place where the Japanese soldiers gathered, and there was a wailing sound.

Before the Japanese soldiers could prepare to fight back, Wang Gensheng led the commando team and rushed over. Each of them had a light machine gun and started firing at anyone they saw.

It was even easier than attacking the station just now. Of course, Wang Gensheng, who was at the front, had the most exciting time killing.

After being fed with a large amount of bullets, Wang Gensheng is now able to ensure that his light machine gun can hit the target with every shot within fifty meters.

For example, in this charge, Wang Gensheng, who was at the front, killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers. Of course, since he was at the forefront, he was also the one who was hit the most. Not to mention anything else, Wang Gensheng was shot several times in the head, chest, and face.

But these are minor problems. With a bulletproof vest, bulletproof mask and helmet, there is nothing to worry about.

The most serious thing was the gunshot wound to Wang Gensheng's arm, which dyed his sleeves red with blood.

However, with Wang Gensheng's current physical condition, as long as the injuries are not to vital parts, such as the head, heart or lungs, the injuries to the remaining arms and legs can be recovered quickly.

After a simple bandage, Wang Gensheng couldn't wait to say to Li Xiu who had caught up with him:

"Open these boxes and see if there are any machine guns!"

That’s right, when Wang Gensheng opened the door of the train cargo compartment, what he saw were wooden boxes, and these wooden boxes were obviously the boxes used by the Japanese to store weapons and ammunition.
