Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 93 Counting Harvest
As soon as Wang Gensheng made a gesture, the twenty grenade launchers in the grenade launcher group two hundred meters behind Wang Gensheng began to fire.

The three rapid shots were very fast. In just five seconds, sixty grenades had been fired.

As the first round of grenade explosions rang out, Wang Gensheng led his team out.

After the third round of grenades exploded, the assault team led by Wang Gensheng was less than 50 meters away from the Japanese resting place.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
The sudden firepower formed by the 38 submachine guns of the assault team was quite fierce. In addition, the assault team was all wearing bulletproof vests and bulletproof jackets, and the morale was boosted by the deputy regiment commander Wang Gensheng who personally led the charge.

Therefore, the soldiers in the assault group fought with a completely invincible style.

And Wang Gensheng's timing was just right. After the last round of grenade launcher bombardment, Wang Gensheng appeared on the battlefield in less than five seconds. At this time, the Japanese soldiers had not yet recovered from the shock wave of the explosion!

When the commandos rushed into the battlefield, as long as they saw a moving Japanese soldier, they would shoot him in a short burst of two or three rounds. Even if the Japanese soldier wanted to fight with a bayonet, they would be ignored. Anyway, as long as he was able to move, he would be shot in a short burst.

This time, Wang Gensheng no longer used throwing knives, but a Thompson submachine gun. However, the firing rate of a submachine gun could not be compared with that of the submachine gun. No matter how fast Wang Gensheng threw the throwing knives, it could not be faster than the firing rate of the submachine gun.

Wang Gensheng also discovered that with the help of mental perception, his marksmanship had greatly improved, at least within the range of 100 meters that he could still hit the target.

Looking at the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the ground, Wang Gensheng felt that resolving the battle in five minutes was a bit too conservative. The whole process was over in only three minutes.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Clean up the battlefield in ten minutes. This time, we only need guns and bullets. We don't need the Japanese's clothes, shoes, or helmets. Li Xiu, you will be responsible for keeping watch on the Japanese's movements. If they are within one kilometer of us, sound the alarm immediately!"

Wang Gensheng looked at the watch he had taken from the Japanese soldier's body and gave orders to the soldiers of the special cavalry company.

So following Wang Gensheng's order, the entire special cavalry company of about 100 people all started moving and began to load the spoils.

The main trophies were naturally the Japanese's Type 38 rifles, grenade launchers and light machine guns, but the most troublesome thing was to strip the bullets from the Japanese's corpses.

Of course, compared to stripping military uniforms from the corpses of Japanese soldiers, that is much easier.

In the past, if the situation was not so tense, we could strip the uniforms from the Japanese soldiers and send them back to the clothing factory to wash, modify, and dye them, and they would become a new set of Eighth Route Army uniforms. But there was no other way. The Eighth Route Army Clothing Factory needed raw materials to produce uniforms. Without cloth and cotton, how could they produce them?

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the ever-expanding Eighth Route Army, they had no choice but to strip off the Japanese military uniforms and modify them.

But this time it won't work. After all, the Japanese reinforcements are only three kilometers away. It is estimated that the Japanese had already set off when the shooting started.

"Deputy Commander, Deputy Commander, the Japs on the left are less than a kilometer away from us. We should retreat!"

After hearing Li Xiu's words, Wang Gensheng looked at the commandos who were still searching for bullet shells on the ground and immediately said:
"Alright, stop looking for bullet shells, get on your horses and retreat!"

After saying this, Wang Gensheng mounted his horse. His orders were unwavering in the Special Cavalry Company, so the soldiers didn't hesitate. They immediately abandoned their search for bullet shells and followed Wang Gensheng out of the corpse-strewn battlefield. Wang Gensheng led the Special Cavalry Company on a non-stop march of five kilometers before finally coming to a stop.

The special cavalry company was actually looking for submachine gun shells when they were looking for shells just now. There was no way that the .45 bullets used in the Thompson submachine gun were too rare on the Huazhuang battlefield.

Therefore, apart from reloading bullets, each shot is one less bullet, and if there is no shell, there is no way to reload. It is for this reason that people have to clean up the battlefield and then look for submachine gun shells.

After stopping, Wang Gensheng said to his soldiers:
"Take inventory of the equipment seized this time, and also count how many submachine gun bullets are left!"

It was quickly counted and it was found that Wang Gensheng had wiped out only an ordinary squadron, which had nine Type 96 light machine guns, nine Type 89 grenade launchers, 139 Type 38 rifles, more than 20,000 rounds of bullets, more than 500 grenades, and 180 special grenades for the Type 89 grenade launchers.

However, what was not good was that there were not many submachine gun bullets left. On average, each person only had three full magazines of 30 rounds left. In the previous battle, each commando soldier had used an average of two magazines of bullets.

This is all the fault of Yamamoto's special forces. They didn't bring more bullets and magazines with them, so now they have no bullets left.

So in the end, Wang Gensheng came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to use the Japanese light machine gun as a submachine gun.

Although the Type 96 light machine gun weighs nine kilograms, twice as much as the 4.5 kilogram Thompson submachine gun, it is more difficult to shoot while standing.

But no matter how good a gun is, without bullets it is no different from a fire stick.

Unlike the Thompson submachine gun, which cannot be replenished with bullets, the Type 96 light machine gun has a very good advantage, that is, it uses the same bullets as the Type 38 rifle.

Therefore, if all the commandos use the Type 96 light machine gun, they will not have to worry about running out of bullets.

You should know that in addition to the more than 20,000 rounds of bullets seized this time, the machine gun team of the firepower group also brought 10,000 rounds of bullets!
Moreover, based on this night raid, Wang Gensheng also discovered a problem, that is, the machine gun group of the firepower group was no longer needed. He could use the grenade launcher group to carry out a few rounds of bombing and then the assault group would go up and reap the rewards.

And because it was night, the machine gun team could not see too far and therefore had no way to shoot. Although the grenade launcher team also shot at long distances, they were different from the machine gun team. The grenade launcher team did not need to aim at people, so under the command of Li Xiu, the night vision eye, they only needed to aim at an approximate range for fire coverage.

You should know that the killing range of the Type 89 special grenade is ten meters!
Although it is a large-scale mop-up operation now, it is a great opportunity for Wang Gensheng's special cavalry company. A squadron of Japanese devils is the number that Wang Gensheng's special cavalry company can quickly capture and resolve the battle.

Naturally, they could not be restricted by lack of bullets. The twenty Type 96 light machine guns of the machine gun fire group, plus the nine light machine guns just captured, a total of twenty-nine light machine guns were enough for the assault group to use.

Once we capture another squadron of Japanese soldiers, we will have enough light machine guns for the assault team.

However, apart from its weight, the Japanese light machine gun also had another problem: it was not suitable for use as a submachine gun.
