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

Chapter 266 The goddess scatters flowers
Kitano Chuuji led a force of tens of thousands of men, escorting the supplies of the sweeping army, to Luoxuepo.

Looking through the binoculars, the terrain here was indeed exactly as Fujita Ichiji had described, down to the last detail.

Behind us are cliffs and precipices, a natural barrier.

The river on both sides is overflowing and also serves as a natural defense.

There are many rocky high grounds in front, making it easy to build defensive fortifications that overlook the terrain and are difficult to attack.

Kitano Chuuji smiled and said, "Fujita-kun, you've found a really good spot."

Fujita Ichiji pointed to the rising river and said, "Colonel, look, there are still quite a few fish lurking in the muddy water and weeds. We've just run out of ingredients for sashimi sushi, so we can replenish them here."

Fujita Ichiji's sashimi sushi is very good; not only does Master Kumamoto like it, but Kitano Chuji also greatly admires it.

"Yoshi, not bad, not bad." Kitano Chuuni nodded and said to Fujita Ichiji, "We have enough manpower for logistics to handle the tasks of placing supplies, and there are soldiers in the team to construct fortifications. Your task is to go catch some fish for me."

“Okay, okay.” Fujita Ichiji nodded happily.

Thus, Kitano Chuji directed the logistics personnel to set up tents and unload supplies, while the combat troops quickly constructed fortifications.

Fujita Ichiji actually took some people to catch fish.

On the cliff, both Blind Cheng and Liu Weidong held binoculars, observing and taking notes on paper with pens.

Those things were probably stored in the tents that the Japanese soldiers had set up.

Pay special attention to the tents where weapons are stored.

"Damn, this old fountain pen is so unreliable," Blind Cheng grumbled as he took notes.

That wretched logistics guy, Zhang, stole my new fountain pen.

Liu Weidong turned his head and saw that Cheng the Blind's notes were rather messy, and said, "How about this, Commander Cheng, you observe and I'll take notes."

Originally, the two divided the work: Cheng the Blind was responsible for recording the right side, and Liu Weidong was responsible for recording the left side.

But Cheng the Blind's pen really doesn't look very good.

To avoid delays, Liu Weidong decided to record the entire process himself.

Although the Japanese army had a considerable amount of logistical supplies, it was precisely because of this large quantity that they were easy to observe and record.

"Alright then," Blind Cheng nodded, tossing his old fountain pen aside.

But Blind Cheng picked it up again.

Even if we can't produce our own fountain pens, this old one is better than nothing.

Blind Cheng and Liu Weidong worked together seamlessly. Blind Cheng even had time to keep an eye on the riverbank, saying, "These Japanese devils seem pretty good. They've caught so many fish in such a short time, huh..."

Blind Cheng exclaimed in surprise, then immediately examined one of the Japanese soldiers more closely before uttering a suspicious sound: "Something's not right, am I seeing things?"

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Liu Weidong looked up at Blind Cheng.

"That Japanese guy catching fish looks a bit like Fujita Ichiji," Cheng the Blind Man muttered to himself.

Fujita Ichiji?
Upon hearing this, Liu Weidong recognized the name.

In the past, he seized a batch of military parts, which became Fujita Ichiji's bait.

Liu Weidong had also specifically looked at the information about Fujita Ichiji and learned that the 386th Brigade would keep him on.

How could such stupid Japanese soldiers appear here?

That doesn't seem reasonable either.

He was in the management of the Japanese military police, so how could he be in the logistics team of the Kumamoto Division?
Liu Weidong immediately picked up the binoculars and quickly looked over. Finally, Liu Weidong nodded: "There's no mistake, this is Fujita Ichiji."

Blind Cheng wondered, "How come Fujita Ichiji is in the Kumamoto Division's logistics team? Shouldn't he be with Sato Haruno?"

Liu Weidong hit the nail on the head: "I guess it's highly likely that Sato Haruno dumped Fujita Ichiji. After all, Fujita Ichiji did so many stupid things, any intelligence officer with a normal brain wouldn't easily let him stay by their side."

“Hmm, that’s true.” Blind Cheng nodded and said, “Then we’d better be careful when we launch the Hell Missiles, lest we kill Fujita Ichiji prematurely.”

“That must be it.” Liu Weidong nodded and said, “I don’t know why, but I always feel that the Japanese supply corps’ relocation here is related to Fujita Ichiji.”

"Haha." Blind Cheng chuckled in a low voice, nodding, "I think I feel the same way, haha."

Below the cliff, the Japanese soldiers set up tents quickly, and unloaded supplies, ammunition, and munitions just as quickly.

Although the Japanese had not finished their work, Liu Weidong already knew the location of their important munitions.

Liu Weidong immediately began searching for suitable spots on the cliff based on these locations.

Twenty people, including Liu Weidong and Blind Cheng, began to carefully dig a pit on the edge of the cliff.

The soil on the cliff is slightly hard, but it is heavily weathered, so digging is not difficult.

……

Below the cliff, Fujita Ichiji had already caught quite a few fish.

He let the others continue catching fish, and then he chose the fattest blackfish among them.

I personally gutted the blackfish, removed the bones and fins, and sliced ​​the fish into thin pieces.

Finally, it's served on sushi and dipped in a little bit of the secret sauce.

Having prepared a plate of sashimi sushi, Fujita Ichiji placed it in front of Kitano Chuuji, who was resting: "Colonel, try this. It's a blackfish I just caught." The fortifications were proceeding smoothly, and the logistical supplies were being unloaded in an orderly manner. Kitano Chuuji's mood was also very stable.

Seeing Fujita Ichiji bring over the sashimi sushi, he smiled and said, "Fujita-kun, you're so thoughtful."

After saying that, Kitano Chuuji picked up one of the sashimi sushi pieces and put it in his mouth.

Soon, Kitano Chuuni's expression revealed admiration: "Fujita-kun, not bad! The umami of your secret sauce complements the umami of the fish, creating a rich and delicious flavor."

"Hehe." Fujita Ichiji chuckled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Colonel."

"I love it, I love it, I love it so much!" Kitano Chuuji said with a smile as he continued to pick up sashimi and enjoy it.

On the cliff were Liu Weidong, Blind Cheng, and others, who had already completed the digging of the pit.

The pit was compacted, and all twenty Hellfire missiles were placed into it.

The soldiers carefully aimed according to the method taught by Liu Weidong.

After Liu Weidong had aimed his Hellfire missile, he personally checked all of Cheng Xiazi's and the others' Hellfire missiles to make sure they were all aimed at their targets.

Everyone was given a match and waited for Liu Weidong's order.

Liu Weidong took out his binoculars and observed again.

Although not all of the important ammunition and munitions had been moved into the camp, it wasn't a big problem.

At such close proximity, if it were to explode, it would also cause a secondary explosion.

"Open the cover and pull out the fuse." Liu Weidong returned to his Hellfire missile and gave the order.

Everyone followed Liu Weidong's example, unscrewing the cover on the back of the Hellfire missile and pulling out the fuse inside.

After everyone had pulled out the fuse, Liu Weidong gave the order again: "Ignite!"

The match in Liu Weidong's hand immediately lit on the shavings, and the flame touched the fuse.

The fuse hissed and caught fire, emitting smoke.

laugh!
laugh!
laugh!
……

At the same time, the others also lit their fuses, and all twenty Hellfire missiles were now lit.

Without Liu Weidong giving any orders, everyone, including him, immediately moved to the side.

According to the instruction manual left by Li Muzhi, when this Hell Missile is launched, its exhaust flame is just as dangerous as that of a rocket; if you don't avoid it, you will be burned.

Everyone stared at the increasingly short fuse, their emotions running high.

A shell that can fly out on its own without needing a cannon barrel—is this just a rumor, or another miracle created by Director Li? We shall wait and see!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
……

As the fuse burned out, twenty Hellfire missiles shot out of the crater, trailing long plumes of smoke, and hurtled toward their respective targets.

Seeing this scene, Liu Weidong and the others were all dumbfounded: the shell really flew out by itself, it really didn't need a cannon barrel, Director Li's wisdom was truly not just talk!

Just as twenty hell missiles were launched from the edge of the cliff, Kitano Chuuni finished his last piece of fish sushi, looking quite pleased with himself: "Fujita-kun, I reckon even the Emperor's personal chef couldn't match your skill."

"Colonel, you flatter me..." Fujita Ichiji stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence.

As if sensing some danger, he immediately turned his head to look at the top of the cliff.

At the same time, Kitano Chuuji's expression of enjoyment froze, and he turned his head to look at the top of the cliff along with Fujita Ichiji.

What they saw was a scene they would never forget.

Twenty shells were seen shooting down from the cliff.

Both of them were instantly stunned, their minds going blank for a moment.

His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost; what he was seeing could never have happened.

Such a high cliff, let alone artillery, even a person couldn't climb it.

It looks like someone moved a cannon to the cliff and fired it; it's simply unbelievable.

At the same time, many other Japanese soldiers and traitors also seemed to sense the danger, and they all turned their heads to look over.

Everyone wore the same expression of astonishment.

Although they didn't have time to comment or talk, their expressions were priceless; their silence spoke volumes.

"Baka! You moved the cannon to the cliff? How did you do that?"

"My goodness, cannonballs are being fired down from the cliff? Are you kidding me?"

"If people can't even get up there, how did they manage to get the cannons up there?"

"Moving a cannon to a cliff to fire is absurd."

"We're doomed. This is all weaponry. If it explodes, we're all finished."

"I miss my mom, I want to go home."
