Bright Sword: From Border Region Manufacturing to Major National Heavy Industry

Chapter 112: Being clever but being misled by cleverness

It was naturally impossible for this small group to stop Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's troops.

Leave some soldiers here to wear them down.

Another hell cannon quietly targeted the ammunition trucks in the mechanized force.

That shot just now had a truly remarkable effect.

What is the easiest way to achieve results in this world?

That is copying.

So, since targeting the ammunition transport vehicles of mechanized units is quite effective, let's keep going!

boom!
Another cannonball from Hellfire has been fired.

An ammunition transport vehicle was hit, and another fireball exploded into the sky!

The powerful shockwave swept away two nearby transport vehicles, detonating their ammunition.

Two large fireballs rose up, and another group of tanks were affected and damaged.

Although the combat effectiveness of the mechanized regiment was not as great as the losses in the first shot, it was still close to one-fifth of its original strength.

Li Yunlong still felt a little regretful: "Although the ammunition transport vehicle that bombed the Japanese was quite effective, the ammunition is gone, which is also a loss for us."

The plan is to attack the Japanese from behind; these ammunition trucks are to be looted.

If we blow up the ammunition now, we'll just be missing something.

Ding Wei said, "Old Li, you can't take everything. When we're taking risks, our main goal is to get the equipment that can produce bullets, and only then will we take the supplies and ammunition. When we attack from behind, we'll inevitably hit the Japanese where it hurts, and they'll turn around and attack us at all costs. We can't possibly take all the supplies and ammunition in an emergency, and the Japanese will still blow us up."

Moreover, destroying some of the Japanese ammunition now will also benefit subsequent operations.

The Japanese soldiers were running out of ammunition, so they had to hold back when attacking Chu Yunfei.

When we've looted and run away, the Japanese won't have enough ammunition, and they won't be able to stop us!
Ding Wei, on the contrary, felt that the ammunition truck should be blown up. Not only should it be blown up, but the Japanese devils should be wiped out as well.

Of course, the idea is good, but we have limited ammunition.

We can't use them all up now; we won't be able to do without artillery cover when we're pulling chestnuts out of the fire later!
"Damn it, I want to take advantage of everything, is that not allowed?" Li Yunlong understood Ding Wei's meaning, but he still cursed.

"Damn it!" Seeing that the tank regiment's fighting strength had been reduced by nearly one-fifth again, Ueno no Mura's suppressed anger flared up once more. "It seems that I won't be able to leave today unless I take away these Eighth Route Army heavy artillery pieces!"

Even when fighting against the regular Chinese army, the losses never reached half.

The Eighth Route Army has suffered losses of nearly half its troops, which is truly intolerable!

Kuroshima Morita's expression was also very grim: "Ueno-kun, it seems that the two of us need to come up with a way to wipe out this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in one fell swoop."

"Kuroshima-kun, do you perhaps have a solution?" Uenomura asked.

“We’ll take a detour.” Kuroshima Morita took out a map, spread it out in front of Ueno Village, and pointed to it, saying:

“The Eighth Route Army knows we’re rushing to reinforce the ironworks and will take the shortest route, so they’ve prepared harassment along the way. If we stick to the original plan, we’ll not only get wrecked again, but we’ll also miss the reinforcement time. If we choose to take a detour, we’ll avoid the Eighth Route Army’s harassment route. The route we choose won’t be too far. We’ve changed our course. If you were a member of the Eighth Route Army, what would you do?” Upon hearing this, Ueno no Mura blurted out, “Is that even a question? The Eighth Route Army’s harassment is aimed at delaying us, buying them time to raid the ironworks. If we take a detour and avoid their harassment, the Eighth Route Army will definitely be furious. At that point, they’ll do everything in their power to keep us here. Oh my god, then they’ll have to use all their forces.”

If these Eighth Route Army troops use all their strength to fight us head-on, this is our chance to wipe them out.

Although this would cause some delays, it was nothing compared to the harassment and delays caused by the Eighth Route Army.

“Then let’s take a detour right away and talk to Kasahara-kun to ask him to cooperate,” Kuroshima Morita said. “When the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes out, he will hold it back from the front, while you and I will flank from both sides. If we do it right, we can finish the battle in half an hour.”

"okay."

……

“Old Ding, look at these Japanese devils, they’re pretty smart. They took a detour to avoid our next attack.” After the Japanese devils took a detour, Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei with a smile, “Damn, they know how to pick a spot. This detour is perfect for cavalry and armored vehicles to flank them from the left and right.”

"Those little devils are clearly trying to lure our main force into a head-on fight, and then take the opportunity to annihilate us. There's no way it'll be that easy." Ding Wei smiled disdainfully. "Then let's play along and let these little devils outsmart themselves."

This place is very close to the garrison of Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment.

As soon as we show ourselves, the Japanese will catch up, and we'll have done half the job.

"We still need to make it look convincing, so that the Japanese will mistakenly think that we are desperate and afraid that they will take a detour to reinforce the ironworks," Li Yunlong added.

"of course."

……

Therefore, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei deliberately revealed the presence of their main force and opened fire fiercely on Kuroshima Morita's side.

"Yoshi, Ueno-kun, you see? The Eighth Route Army really fell for our trap. They were afraid we'd take a detour, so they came out." A sinister smile spread across Kuroshima Morita's face at this situation.

"Damn the Eighth Route Army, they've been hiding in the shadows all along, they've been in control, and we've been so passive. Now that the initiative is in our hands, let those Eighth Route Army soldiers go and meet their King of Hell." Ueno no Mura gritted his teeth and immediately shouted at Kasahara Koizumi, "Kasahara-kun, you hold off the Eighth Route Army from the front, and Kuroshima-kun and I will flank them from the left and right."

"Yes." Kasahara Koizumi commanded the infantry regiment to immediately advance towards Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

"Ueno-kun, let's go!" Kuroshima Morita shouted towards Ueno-no-mura and immediately led his cavalry regiment to flank from the left.

Uenomura, with the remaining tanks, immediately set off to flank the right flank.

"Commander, the Japanese cavalry and tank regiments are flanking us from the left and right." The moment the Japanese cavalry and tanks moved, Li Yunlong's spies spotted them immediately.

"Understood, retreat." Li Yunlong roared immediately, "Retreat towards the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army, run as fast as you can."

As Li Yunlong and Ding Wei fled, Kasahara Koizumi, who was leading the attack from the front, sneered: "Hmph, now that you're out, don't even think about running away. Chase them! Don't let a single Eighth Route Army soldier escape!"

Kuroshima Morita roared, "So these damned Eighth Route Army soldiers are scared now? Speed ​​up, get ahead of them, and cut off their retreat!"

Ueno Village: "What goes around comes around! Damn Eighth Route Army, prepare to face the wrath! Tank warriors, floor the accelerator!"
