Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 44 Easy to handle
After Kong Jie finished speaking, he looked at Wang Gensheng and said:

"I know you're good at throwing grenades. Last time we blew up the Japanese bunker, you threw the grenade directly into the firing hole of the bunker. So the mission of eliminating the Japanese bunkers within a hundred miles of our New Second Regiment is given to you! Our New Second Regiment is not capable of attacking the county town, but we must be the ones to take charge in the countryside!"

Kong Jie said it very domineeringly, and Wang Gensheng nodded confidently:
"Alright! Leave this bunker-blowing mission to me! I guarantee it'll be accomplished!"

For a task like blowing up a bunker, it is naturally the most suitable for Wang Gensheng, the sharpshooter.

Even now, Wang Gensheng is no longer limited to the throwing distance of 80 meters, after changing the collision delay fuse of the Type 97 grenade to a collision fuse.

Wang Gensheng is no longer worried about the situation where the throwing distance is affected by insufficient fuse time.

In order to verify his throwing ability, Wang Gensheng rode his horse alone that afternoon to find a Japanese bunker sixty miles away from Wangjia Village.

Then stand outside the cordon drawn by the Japanese fortress. Yes, the Japanese fortress also has a cordon, which is generally 150 meters away from the Japanese fortress. Once someone exceeds this range, the Japanese will open fire directly.

Of course, the reason why a distance of 150 meters is used as the warning line is mainly because most of the Japanese soldiers' hit range is at this distance. At this distance, any qualified Japanese soldier can hit the target. As for some people who use the mechanical sight on the Type 38 rifle without using an optical sight to hit people at a distance of 300 to 400 meters.

Shooters with this kind of skills are considered elite among the Japanese soldiers, as they are born with the ability to see farther than others.

However, a 150% hit rate is acceptable for the Japanese, but for the Eighth Route Army, being able to hit the enemy at 150 meters is excellent.

This is not because the Eighth Route Army is inferior, but because most of the soldiers on the Eighth Route Army had fired less than ten rounds of live ammunition in target practice before going to the battlefield. They only mastered the basic shooting skills, which is incomparable to the Japanese soldiers.

For example, during the Battle of Lijiaopo, Zhao Gang shot down three Japanese soldiers with three consecutive shots at a distance of 150 meters, which caused Li Yunlong's attitude towards Zhao Gang to change 180 degrees. He felt that Zhao Gang was not a useless person, and from then on Li Yunlong became polite to Zhao Gang.

From this we can see how poor the shooting skills of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were.

The reason for such a huge gap is mainly that the Japanese soldiers had already fired a thousand rounds of bullets during the recruit training. It was because of this cost-effective training that the Japanese soldiers in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan, even ordinary soldiers, were excellent shooters.

However, as the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the middle and late stages, with the large number of Japanese soldiers dying and the shortage of supplies, there were naturally not so many resources for training. Therefore, the quality of the Japanese soldiers in the late stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was even inferior to that of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Wang Gensheng was not wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, but the clothes of ordinary people, so when the Japanese were wondering, Wang Gensheng had already thrown the grenade in his hand away.

That's right, it means throwing a grenade from a distance of 150 meters. With a 30% increase in physical fitness, the maximum distance of the grenade is not 130 meters. Wang Gensheng himself has tested it and the maximum distance can reach 150 meters.

After throwing the grenade, Wang Gensheng did not give the Japanese a chance to shoot. Instead, he rolled down the slope, making the Japanese lose their shooting angle.

The grenade traced a beautiful parabola in the air, then flew accurately through the enemy's firing hole, hitting the wall and exploding. Lying on the ground, feeling the six extremely weak heat currents coming from his body, Wang Gensheng realized that the grenade had not killed all the Japanese in the bunker.

Because there were at least a squad of thirteen Japanese soldiers in a bunker, Wang Gensheng had no choice but to get up and throw another grenade while the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were dizzy from the explosion.

After all, the real battlefield is not a chicken-eating game. If you are blown up by a grenade, as long as you are not dead, you can quickly fight back.

But on the battlefield, especially in a confined space like a bunker, a grenade explosion can be fatal. Even if you are not killed on the spot, the damage caused by the repeated rebound of the shock wave in the confined space is enough to make the Japanese dizzy for a long time.

When Wang Gensheng threw the second grenade, he rushed towards the bunker without hesitation.

When Wang Gensheng kicked open the door of the bunker, what came into his sight were thirteen Japanese soldiers lying on the ground in a twisted state.

Of course, not all of these thirteen people died. There were three Japanese soldiers with blood coming out of the corners of their mouths and ears who were trying hard to stand up and fight with Wang Gensheng.

However, he did not show any courtesy to these three Japanese soldiers who had almost lost their combat effectiveness. He killed them all with one sword each.

Not many were captured this time. What was captured was an upgraded version of the Type 96 light machine gun, the Type 96 light machine gun. The reason why the Type 96 light machine gun appeared was that the Japanese found that during the September 18th Incident, the performance of their own Type 96 light machine gun, that is, the Taisho Type 11, and Hua Jun's Czech light machine gun were very different.

In particular, the five-round magazine feeding method of the Taisho XI-type was very different from the thirty-round magazine feeding method of the Czech-type in terms of shooting continuity. Therefore, the Japanese military industry learned from the experience of the Czech-type and eventually produced the Type 96 light machine gun, which was very similar to the Czech-type, or in other words, a copy of the Czech-type.

In addition, there were twelve Type 38 rifles, more than three thousand rounds of 6.5 caliber rifle bullets, and sixty Type 97 grenades.

Only Wang Gensheng could do such a thing as taking over a Japanese bunker so easily. After all, no one in the entire Eighth Route Army could throw a grenade into the firing hole of the Japanese bunker from a distance of 150 meters.

However, Wang Gensheng was not satisfied with this matter. This was mainly because the distance was too far. The enhanced energy Wang Gensheng obtained from the Japanese soldiers killed by the grenade was very little. Look, the energy obtained by the Japanese soldiers killed by the grenade at a distance of 150 meters was not as much as the energy obtained by the three Japanese soldiers killed by Wang Gensheng at close range.

The defect that energy absorption is weakened by distance limits the effectiveness of Wang Gensheng's golden finger.

The weight of twelve Type 38 rifles and a light machine gun is equivalent to the weight of a person.

In addition, the weight of more than 3,000 bullets and 60 grenades was simply not something Wang Gensheng could carry back by himself.

Fortunately, Wang Gensheng came here on horseback instead of walking.
