Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

This is why it can take thousands or even tens of thousands of bullets to kill a single enemy.

Moreover, with breakthroughs in materials technology and the increasing number of soldiers equipped with body armor, killing a soldier on the battlefield has become much more difficult.

That's why there's a saying that after a major battle, there should be a rest period of one or two months, which is naturally to give wounded soldiers time to recover.

However, in order to gain a foothold in negotiations, one must gain the upper hand in the war in order to have the opportunity to negotiate.

At this moment, the chief of medical affairs of the aid-to-Chaozhou army spoke up:

"Li Qiwei also said that in Shangti's eyes, the death of a soldier and the death of a soldier are the same, both are the end of life. Every commander must keep this fact in mind. Once his idea is implemented, I am worried that the fighting will of the American soldiers will be improved!"

The frontline commander found the chief of medical affairs' concerns quite reasonable. Just then, the confidential staff officer spoke up:

"I heard that something funny happened. A few days ago, the US military newspaper published a photo of Li Qiwei just after getting off the plane, with a hand grenade hanging on his body, and he even threatened to die with the enemy at any time!"

After the confidential staff officer finished speaking, the logistics staff officer spoke up:

"He was whistling at night to bolster his courage!"

The logistics staff officer's use of a proverb immediately made the other staff officers laugh, but the frontline commander sighed with a long face:

"This is no laughing matter! A fifty-something-year-old bastard doing this is sending a do-or-die signal to the US military. I have a feeling he's much tougher to deal with than his teacher, Michael Aser. Comrades, we've met a formidable opponent!"

Clearly, the frontline commander has a broader and clearer perspective. Li Qiwei, who dares to wear a grenade on his chest, is naturally more difficult to deal with than Walker. When you encounter a commander who is not afraid of death, the soldiers under his command will naturally become fearless as well. And once the soldiers are not afraid of death, their morale will naturally rise.

After the frontline commander finished speaking, he immediately gave the order:
"Immediately send a telegram to the 39th Army, making sure to reconfirm the plan for the 116th Lions' attack tomorrow! We must achieve a resounding victory; Li Qiwei is coming on strong, we must give him a taste of his own medicine!"

That's right, today is already the 30th, and tomorrow, the 31st, is the scheduled date for launching the third campaign!
At this time, Wang Gensheng was no longer in the command room of the front-line command center, but was preparing for tomorrow's attack with the 116 Lions!

While the frontline commander was discussing Li Qiwei with his staff in the command room, Wang Gensheng, who was preparing for tomorrow's attack at the front, heard Li Xiu's report:

"Si Ling, I just discovered that the Southern Tide Kingdom has sent out a scout team of about a platoon under the cover of night, heading this way!"

Indeed, Li Xiu, who sees the night as day, easily spotted the scouts sent by the Southern Tide Kingdom.

Wang Gensheng immediately stood up and said:
"Let's go, take a few men and ambush them in the direction they're heading. This time we'll capture them alive!"

···········
Under the cover of night, a reconnaissance platoon leader from Nanchao Kingdom led a platoon of reconnaissance soldiers, trudging through the thick snow towards the north bank of the Imjin River. The biting wind from the riverbank was piercingly cold, and the platoon leader complained:

"Damn it! Seriously, we're being forced to scout the other side of the river in this freezing weather. It hasn't even been that long since the last battle, how could they possibly launch a counterattack so quickly! And why don't they send us out themselves instead of the other way around!" In response to the complaint of the Nanchaoguo reconnaissance squad leader, another deputy squad leader added:
"They're here to help us defeat the Northern Tide Kingdom, so naturally they want us to be on the front lines!"

However, the reconnaissance squad leader muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear what the deputy squad leader had said:

"Why would we need their help? If it weren't for them, the North and South Chaozhou might have already merged! What meddlesome fellows!"

Indeed, this reconnaissance squad leader from Nanchao Kingdom was not a person of strong will and did not have much affection for Nanchao Kingdom.

Just as the scout leader had walked across a patch of snow, several people suddenly emerged from the snow and pounced on them.

The sudden change caught the reconnaissance team off guard. Before the squad leader could even release the safety and fire, Wang Gensheng snatched the submachine gun from his hand.

Then Wang Gensheng kicked him down. Of course, Wang Gensheng didn't use too much force in that kick, otherwise, with seven times the physical strength, it wouldn't have been a kick that knocked him down, but a kick that killed him directly.

Then, before the squad leader could get up, Wang Gensheng stepped on his chest, rendering him unable to move.

While Wang Gensheng launched a surprise attack, Duan Peng, Wei Dayong, and others also subdued the others one after another.

However, an unexpected event occurred. Li Xiu didn't react. It's unclear whether Li Xiu himself was too slow to launch an attack or the scout from Nanchao Kingdom reacted too quickly. Just as Li Xiu got up from the snow and lunged forward, the scout actually turned around and dodged Li Xiu's lunge.

Of course, that's not the key point. The key point is that when this scout from Nanchaoguo turned around to dodge Li Xiu's lunge, he had already raised his submachine gun, released the safety, and was about to fire a burst at Li Xiu.

This was unacceptable. Wang Gensheng, who had been observing the entire scene with his mental power, didn't hesitate and threw a knife, instantly piercing through the helmet that could only protect against stray bullets and killing the scout from Nanchao Kingdom with a single blow.

Indeed, compared to capturing one more person alive, it is clear that Li Xiu, the king of night vision, is more important. Although Li Xiu has bulletproof plates and a helmet, what if a submachine gun bullet hits Li Xiu's neck or leg artery?

With seven times the strength of an ordinary person, Wang Gensheng's throwing knife pierced the head of the Nan Chao soldier.

Li Xiu was somewhat embarrassed at this moment. After all, as one of the four backbone members of the Marine Corps, it was rather embarrassing that he had failed to capture a scout.

However, Wang Gensheng didn't care much about this. After all, Li Xiu's talent was probably all in night vision, so he wasn't very good at shooting or martial arts combat. But as long as Li Xiu's night vision was still there, he would be the leader of the Marine Corps reconnaissance team.

The next step was interrogation, especially to uncover the weaknesses in the defensive positions on the south bank of the Imjin River.

After all, if the barbed wire and minefield defenses on the south bank of the Imjin River weren't flawed, how did this reconnaissance team get through? There must have been a safe passage! (End of Chapter)
