Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 164 Wang Cuiyun in the Final Battle
After Wang Gensheng led his 2,000-strong cavalry regiment to a safe place, he was deeply saddened to see the five bodies.

His cavalry regiment had not lost any soldiers for a long time, but in the first battle of this civil war, they lost five.

However, Wang Gensheng understood that this battle had to be fierce. As a farmer himself, Wang Gensheng knew how important land was to farmers.

Even decades later, it's still the same. If you're fired from a factory and can't find a job, you can go back to the countryside to farm, just like when Wang Gensheng was a knife-throwing internet celebrity.

In the beginning, when there was no popularity, no income, and the technology wasn't very good, they survived by farming and selling agricultural products in the countryside.

Honestly, the cost of living in the countryside is really low. Vegetables and grains are self-sufficient. Wang Gensheng still remembers that his monthly expenses in the countryside were less than 300 yuan.

This also includes the cost of 100 yuan in phone bills each month.

This is perhaps the main reason why there aren't as many homeless people in Huaguo as in Miguo!

If you can go back to the countryside where food and housing are free, what other major expenses are there?

Therefore, Wang Gensheng must fight this battle against capitalism, this battle of ideas, and this battle for the future.

However, Wang Gensheng also understood that the soldiers on Lao Jing's side were innocent; they were just trying to make a living, and some of them had even been captured.

There was no other way; the land had all been seized by the landlords. If there was no war, there would be no food to eat. At least if you joined the army and fought, you would have something to eat.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng decided that in future battles, he would prioritize decapitation strikes and target high-ranking officers. After all, those who could rise to high command positions in Lao Zi's team were either related to him or belonged to powerful families, so Wang Gensheng wouldn't feel bad about killing them.

Once the command structure of a unit is destroyed, and you shout things like "surrender and you won't be killed" and "don't risk your life for the old foxes," they will likely surrender quickly.

After burying the cavalry assault team members who had been killed by M2 heavy machine gun fire that pierced their bulletproof plates, Wang Gensheng looked at the thumb-sized hole in the bulletproof plate, then stacked two bulletproof plates together and tested it with the M2 heavy machine gun. The result was that it was pierced with a single shot.

It wasn't until three bulletproof plates were stacked on top of each other that the tunnel wasn't penetrated. However, it was impractical to have the soldiers carry three bulletproof plates, so Wang Gensheng had no choice but to carry three bulletproof plates himself as a precaution.

Next, Wang Gensheng took advantage of the night and rushed to Qinhuangdao, hoping to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Lao Zi's logistics.

It should be noted that Lao Ji's forces, relying on their superior equipment and fighter jets, were already on their way to Siping City, which was 600 kilometers away from Qin Shi Huang's port.

Such a long supply line naturally presents a good opportunity to strike, and in addition, Wang Gensheng also intends to see if he can sink Lao Zi's warship.

Of course, sinking the old man's warships or transport ships is both simple and difficult.

The simplest way is to place about ten kilograms of TNT on the bottom of the ship and detonate it, which can easily sink transport ships or warships under a thousand tons, while one hundred kilograms can easily sink ships of ten thousand tons. However, the difficulty lies in getting close to the ship, especially a moving ship, which is not something a person can catch up with by swimming.

Even those docked in the harbor aren't so easy to catch. After all, people need to breathe, and if they surface to breathe, they'll undoubtedly become easy targets.

Just as Wang Gensheng was pondering, Li Xiu, who had been observing the sea surface of Qinhuangdao Port, suddenly said to Wang Gensheng:
"Commander, Commander, a wooden sailboat has appeared about a kilometer out to sea, with many women on board! However, one of Lao Ji's gunboats seems to have spotted them and is heading towards the wooden sailboat. They've opened fire!"

As Li Xiu described it, Wang Gensheng heard the sound of cannons coming from the sea ahead!
Holding the view that the enemy was attacking either friendly forces or allies, Wang Gensheng said without hesitation:
"Open fire on the artillery positions to cover the retreat of friendly forces!"

After saying that, Wang Gensheng took the M2 heavy machine gun he had just captured and opened fire on the gunboat on the sea.

Although it was nighttime and the distance was more than a kilometer, it was still within the effective firing range of the M2 heavy machine gun.

At such a distance, and in the darkness, Wang Gensheng couldn't see the bullet impact point at all, so he couldn't adjust his aim based on it. Fortunately, as Wang Gensheng fired, he discovered that the M2 heavy machine gun's bullet belt was equipped with tracer rounds, allowing him to clearly see the bullet's trajectory and adjust his firing angle accordingly.

The nighttime flares had beautiful trajectories, with streaks of light precisely striking the gunboat a kilometer away on the sea.

Just as Wang Gensheng opened fire, his troops also set up mortars and opened fire on the gunboat.

Guided by tracer rounds, the newly captured American-made mortars unleashed a barrage of shells at the gun emplacement.

The mere gunboat was sunk by the cavalry regiment's powerful firepower. However, despite Wang Gensheng's timely intervention, the wooden sailboat still began to take on water after being hit by the gunboat's cannon fire a few more times.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from the sea, and just when things were about to turn silent, we finally managed to reach the shore.

Wang Gensheng looked at the group of women who had disembarked from the boat, somewhat puzzled. What were these women doing here by boat? There were even pregnant women among them! So, he asked curiously:
"Where are you all going? It's so late at night!"

Just as Wang Gensheng finished speaking, a woman with short hair reaching her neck said to him:
"Thank you, comrade. I am Wang Cuiyun, the women's director of Wangjia Village in Shandong. I came to Dongbei to find my fiancé, Wu Xiong Guan! The husbands of all the women around me have gone to Dongbei, so I wanted to come along to see if I could be of any help!"

Wang Gensheng was taken aback when he heard this. Then, upon hearing Wang Cuiyun and Wu Xiong Guan, he immediately realized that these were characters from the TV series "The Great Battle"!

Unexpectedly, Wang Gensheng's journey wasn't just to the world of Bright Sword, but also incorporated the plot of the TV series "The Great Battle"!
Wang Gensheng hadn't noticed this before because the characters playing the overall commanders were the same few, so he naturally didn't realize that the plot of the final battle had been incorporated.

Moreover, this TV series about the decisive battle is adapted from a historical battle and fully restores history, so it is not surprising that Wang Gensheng did not find anything unusual.

It wasn't until he met Wang Cuiyun this time, and learned from her that his fiancé was Wu Xiong Guan, that Wang Gensheng realized it was actually the plot of the final battle.
