Canteen System Assistance Notes

The comrades of the 30th Regiment could only take them down to rest first.

This would be a tough battle. Even the most stoic person could feel the approaching dark clouds.

The Jizhong Military Sub-district had to gather the workers in the core area of ​​Hejian, Renqiu, and Qihui, relocate the people who supported them, and evacuate a cadre capable of adapting to modern administration. The Jizhong District, desperately trying to save lives, endured immense reluctance and heartache, performing only a simple burial and dismantling of the equipment, concentrating all its efforts on saving as many people as possible—after all, as long as there were people, there was hope.

All of this would take at least five days—according to the order of the Jizhong Military Region, unless the enemy stepped over the corpses of the blocking troops, they would have to hold out for five days!

Five days... If we count based on the time the Japanese army set out from Zhengding, today would be the second day. Wang Tiechui thought, if the Japanese attack starts tomorrow, he'll have to hold out for at least another three days.

At the previous discussion meeting, commanders including Wang Tiechui basically reached a consensus: although the Hebei-Central base area had crisscrossing anti-Japanese trenches that could be used as fortifications, due to the objective lack of manpower, the blocking troops were almost unable to fill the tunnels and trenches.

At this point, simply copying the lesson plan and pulling the troops into the Kuomintang-style "long snake formation with everything prepared and everything underdeveloped" would have been suicidal. Instead, they devised a more effective arrangement: abandoning continuous positions and adopting multi-layered, deep, point-shaped, circular defensive positions.

Wucui Village, where Wang Tiechui was stationed, and Changru Village, home to the Third Company of the Second Battalion of the 30th Regiment, were located approximately 2.6 kilometers in front of the main position in Liujikou Village, Madian Town. This created a depth of approximately 3 kilometers for the blocking battle. Assuming the Japanese army had to break through this area, villages tightly surrounded by anti-Japanese trenches could be fortified with company-level or even platoon-level units, forming multiple defensive support points similar to fortresses. These "fortresses" could also communicate with each other through communication trenches, preventing them from being completely isolated.

If the Japanese army wanted to use the mobility of motorized troops to bypass the undefended areas between villages, their logistics supply lines would be threatened, resulting in a lack of fuel, ammunition and supplies for the front-line troops, and a lack of offensive power. Therefore, if the devils wanted to cross here and attack the Suning area in the rear, they would have to eliminate these fortified villages surrounded by trenches one by one, wasting a lot of time here - even if this place was eventually broken by the Japanese army, the battle goal of blocking the Japanese army would have been achieved.

Even so, the defenders in several villages in front of the main position will inevitably be besieged by the superior Japanese army and are almost destined to suffer heavy casualties. This "Iron Won-style blocking" is like a burning furnace that will equally burn the tenacity, toughness and life of both the attackers and defenders.

Wang Tiechui held up a telescope and gazed at the horizon. Under the scorching sun, the ripening wheat swayed like golden clouds.

By afternoon, the Japanese, whose vanguard had suffered a setback, did not immediately launch a counterattack. Instead, they retreated, seemingly to rest and recuperate. Over the past two days, they had already covered over 80 kilometers, achieving unprecedented results—a victory unseen since the 14th year of the Showa era.

But even in this situation, the Japanese commanders were still very cautious. They did not rashly assemble 3 kilometers away from the enemy, but set the assembly point about 5 kilometers away.

This was at the edge of the forward lookout's field of vision, perfectly out of range of the blocking troops' 100mm mortar fire. This thwarted the observation post's plan to direct fire to catch the enemy off guard. The enemy didn't even enter a village deliberately abandoned by our troops: Biaozhong Village. This village, just 1.5 kilometers from the Changru Village position, was a perfect starting point, and of course, our artillery had already carefully measured and conducted test fire.

Throughout the afternoon of the next day, the Japanese army did not launch any substantial attack. Only a group of cavalrymen circled to the north of the position, trying to find a breakthrough from the direction of Zhulong River.

They used their usual tactics against the Nationalist troops. The cavalrymen kept swaying about 800 meters in front of the Beiguo Village position, constantly pretending to charge.

Test our army's firepower deployment.

But the experienced soldiers of the 3th Regiment suppressed their urge to open fire, refusing to react in any way, thus avoiding exposing any valuable firing points. An experienced squad leader instructed his entire squad to raise their rifles' sights and binoculars, aiming and firing on command. They actually managed to hit a few Japanese cavalrymen. Finally, the Japanese retreated in frustration, shouting a retaliatory artillery barrage that blew up several earthen pillars.

However, the reconnaissance team sent by Wang Tiechui was also blocked by the Japanese cavalry on guard outside and did not gain much.

The first round of secret battle passed peacefully.

The sun was setting in the west, and the stars were gradually becoming visible. The Japanese army at that time was not in the habit of organizing large-scale night battles. Perhaps they did not need to do so given their superior weapons. As the sun rose on the third day, a group of light bombers with plaster flags painted on them took off from Shimen and flew straight towards the positions in Madian Town.

They circled over the position, seemingly scouting our troops' deployment. Not long after, the leading enemy plane suddenly lowered its wings and rushed towards our position. The 30th Regiment's anti-aircraft machine gun company immediately operated its M2 anti-aircraft machine guns and fired a barrage of bullets into the air, intending to drive away the enemy planes and protect the headquarters and supply points.

But who would have thought that these devils had only passed over the command center and the material distribution point, and they actually aimed their onboard bombs and machine guns at the last group of evacuated cadres from Madian Town's county committee! At the same time, a sharper whistle than that of the 75 mountain cannon flew through the air at high speed, and continuous fireballs began to rise from the positions in Madian Town.

The devils have officially launched their attack!

Chapter 433: Bloody Interception (3) Firepower vs. Firepower

The 105mm shells passed their high point, like a school of whales soaring into the sky, then fell back to the sea under the force of gravity, making a heavy sound. The roar of the shells from all twelve guns landing together was like hammering a drum covered with mud and sand, bringing flames and death across several kilometers, accompanied by flying earth and rocks, to the defending Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Compared to the venting, meaningless mountain artillery fire of yesterday afternoon, this time's firing could truly be considered a "preparatory artillery fire." In just five minutes, over 300 shells landed on the Changru Village positions, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

In addition, there were a series of explosions hidden in the screams of the 105 howitzers, like other fish carried by a school of whales - those were 75mm mountain artillery shells, which were constantly falling on Wucui Village, north of Changru Village - this medium-sized village located about 1 km north of the highway became the secondary attack direction of the Japanese army because of its mutual support with Changru Village.

At the same time, those buzzing light bombers were like mosquitoes flying in the summer night, roaming freely over the entire Madian Town blocking position. They first rushed towards the main position of Madian Town.

But they were immediately driven away by anti-aircraft machine guns; after that, these self-proclaimed proud

The pilots then rained bullets at the last group of people evacuating from the vicinity of Madian Town - they were county party committee cadres who were organizing the evacuation of the masses in Madian Town.

Amidst a hail of flying bullets, dust billowed from the dirt road, tinged with blood. He Zhenshan, secretary of the CPC Shenze County Committee, was struck by multiple bullets and died a heroic death. From the outset, this blocking battle was shrouded in a shadow.

——————-

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Wang Tiechui emerged from the pit in Wucui Village and stamped his feet. Dust fell from his body like a blanket whipped by a cane. He raised his voice nonchalantly, reassuring the surrounding soldiers, "Look! That's the Japanese mountain artillery! As long as we hide well, it won't hit us! What's there to be afraid of?"

The blast from the Type 94 75mm mountain gun was a familiar experience for Wang Tiechui. The rounds were similar in power to the 75mm American shells he often encountered. They exploded in the ground, creating a crater so deep that even a person couldn't hide, let alone a covered earthen shelter. He nudged the chubby head of a soldier from the First Company, Second Battalion, 30th Regiment, and said, "Let's go, let's get to our positions!"

"Um!"

Watching the young soldier carrying his rifle towards the Anti-Japanese Trench, Wang Tiechui's expression quickly became serious.

Indeed, the enemy's artillery fire at the Wucui Village position was nothing more than a 75mm mountain gun, and it failed to achieve the expected range of fire. Instead, it stopped firing after firing just over 400 rounds. If it were in the border area, the enemy's small mountain guns would not have been able to fire continuously for more than ten minutes, and would have been blown to the sky by the artillery column's counterattack artillery group!

This is the Jizhong base area, thousands of miles away from the border area, fighting in the enemy-controlled area of ​​the Jizhong base area! "Comrades! Get ready, the enemy will come up as soon as the artillery stops!"

Defending Wucui Village were the battle-hardened First Company of the Second Battalion of the 30th Regiment in Jizhong, along with the "headquarters" of the Special Service Battalion brought over from the border region by Wang Tiechui. During a pre-battle meeting, when the participating units were taking inventory of their respective forces, Wang Tiechui's "company headquarters," constructed on the basis of a special service battalion, possessed communications and command capabilities nearly equivalent to those of a main regimental command, even surpassing the 30th Regiment, which had yet to complete its Class A construction, in terms of the amount of communications equipment it had. Consequently, considering the nearly three-kilometer depth of this defensive operation, he relocated the company headquarters to Wucui Village, flanking the first line of defense.

In the distant wheat fields, there were shadows of tanks, and a bunch of heads were growing on the wheat ears: they were Japanese soldiers lowering their bodies and following the tanks. Wang Tiechui raised his binoculars to check. The leading tank seemed to have changed. It was obviously a circle larger than the previous Type 94 tank. The turret was not equipped with a machine gun, but a short cannon. As for the group of Japanese soldiers with only one head exposed, they were basically arranged in two columns.

Crouching and following behind the tank.

————————

Tanks guide infantry tactics...

Honestly, this was Wang Tiechui's first time seeing armored troop tactics outside of the mobile corps' joint training. It felt a bit unfamiliar, yet also a bit familiar. He'd once learned about the Japanese tank tactics in the "Intermediate Class Y" tactical command course. Compared to the mobile corps' combination of tanks and motorized infantry, the Japanese tanks seemed more like they were inspired by cavalry.

One, two, three, a total of three tanks, with about one hundred and fifty people, it was a "squadron" level attack... Wang Tiechui roughly estimated the enemy in front of him. He looked to the south and saw Changru Village a kilometer away was still suffering sporadic artillery fire. There were also shadowy Japanese soldiers over there, also launching an attack with tanks.

At that moment, a red signal flag suddenly emerged from the turret of the leading light tank and waved. Immediately, black smoke billowed from the exhaust pipes of the three Type 95 tanks. They rapidly increased their speed, separated from the front rank infantry, and sped towards the Wucuizhuang position. With a distant "assault," the Japanese soldiers behind the tanks spread out to the flanks, forming a sparse horizontal column, and began their charge at full speed!

At this time, the distance between the front lines of both sides was about 500 meters.

"Enemy Type 1 tank, distance 400, one armor-piercing round, ready—!"

At the position next to Wang Tiechui, the recoilless gun crew shouted commands, like a host reading a list at a meeting. They methodically inserted the shells into the breech, zeroed their sights, and prepared to fire. A few seconds later, the enemy's small tanks took the lead, bursting out of the wheat field and arriving in front of the cleared firing range. Wang Tiechui could almost see the cannons and machine guns on the front of the tanks adjusting their firing positions.

"beat!"

82无隔着近400米距离首发开火，炮尾泄露的燃气在坍塌的房屋里震起了一朵尘云。30团团部下放过来的2门82毫米以集火射击的方式，将两发破甲弹成功丢到了正在高速运动的坦克上。

The two of them exploded in a shower of golden sparks across the tank's turret and hull. The explosives behind the copper cap drove a jet of molten metal, melting through the fragile armor plate and quickly detonating the ammunition stored within. The hatch of the unfortunate Type 95 tank flew open, spewing out two towering dragons of fire!

"Mortar!" shouted the company commander of the first company of the second battalion.

"Captain, don't rush! Enemy infantry, grenades, instantaneous fuse, No. 4 charge!

"Base firing direction, right 0-03, scale 4-12, concentrated fire, one shot ready--"

Because the enemy was accompanied by tanks, Wang Tiechui and the company commander of the 30th Regiment decided not to let the enemy get within 10 meters before opening fire as usual, but to suppress them directly at the effective range!

He bet that this group of devils, full of cavalry spirit, would also have strong remnants of cavalry in their tactics.

As expected, after a sudden burst of anti-tank fire destroyed one tank advancing in a triangle formation, the remaining two Type 95 tanks showed no intention of slowing down to protect the infantry. Instead, they accelerated further, charging towards the Wucuizhuang position at their maximum cross-country speed of nearly 3 kilometers per hour. Their turrets rotated, and the machine guns on the hulls opened fire continuously, intending to suppress the firing position of the 82mm recoilless rifle with a large firing mark.

A 7.4-ton tank clearly has a greater impact force than a cavalry unit weighing several hundred kilograms. From the cavalry's perspective, the best option is to accelerate into the enemy formation after encountering counterattack fire, reduce exposure time, and crush any resistance.

But now, rushing out of the wheat field and into the open firing range, the Japanese soldiers, whose head targets had become half-body targets, were immediately disconnected from the tanks and exposed in front of the Wucui Village blocking position! "Fire!"

Chapter 434: Bloody Blockade (4) The Great Wall

Due to their long-standing firepower advantage and combat drills, the Japanese army was not accustomed to closing in to within a hundred meters during artillery preparations. They were more accustomed to using their artillery fire to destroy enemy defenses while leisurely advancing to within a few hundred meters of the enemy positions, using their firepower to provide cover. At this point, the enemy's firepower was suppressed, making it difficult to fire easily. The infantry could form up, and the cavalry could recover their strength and prepare for the charge after the artillery fire subsided.

If they were facing the Nationalist army, after the artillery preparation was completed, they would push the infantry artillery to a place less than 200 meters away from the position, and eliminate the Nationalist army's firepower points by firing almost at their heads.

As for the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese had already learned lessons such as "not gathering within three kilometers," "enhancing marching mobility," and "using strong security curtains to obscure reconnaissance" to adapt to the new realities of fighting the Eighth Route Army. However, facing this increasingly unfamiliar Communist army, how could even a brilliant general like Okamura Yasuji reverse the Japanese Army's years of inertia and achieve rapid evolution in this short period of time?

Not to mention this "Mecha Unit" which was mainly adapted from the 4th Cavalry Regiment!

When the 60mm mortars of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment and the company-owned 60mm mortars of the Special Service Battalion unleashed a chorus of volleys, creating a wall of explosive fire behind the accelerating Japanese tanks, the fate of this Japanese attack was practically sealed. On the front, the anti-tank teams equipped with turtle fists had already raised their rocket launchers, aiming at the tanks that had escaped infantry protection; on the flanks, the flanking forces of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment were ready to strike, ready to strike a heavy blow against the enemy infantry that had lost the cover of the tanks.

Everything seemed to be proceeding as per the textbook. Next, the disjointed Japanese army seemed to be facing a double blow from anti-tank firepower and offensive defenses. This squadron-level attack seemed to be in vain. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The whistling of artillery shells could be heard again in the air, and shells from the Type 94 75mm mountain gun fell again, while the intermittent artillery fire from the neighboring Changru Village also began to intensify - continuous artillery shells began to fall from the southern part of the Wucui Village position and the northern part of the Changru Village position.

The Japanese army, which seemed to be about to attack the Changru Village position, began to accelerate. They divided their forces into two groups: one group continued to harass the defenders of Changru Village, while the other group, which had the majority of troops, under the guidance of tanks, began to cut into the junction of the two joint positions, and then turned to the north flank of the Wucui Village position and rushed over murderously.

This time, the attack was no longer accompanied by the compact Type 95 tanks and dismounted cavalrymen in cavalry uniforms, helmets, and rifles, but rather by serious, galloping cavalry and the speeding Type 97 tanks. These were the cavalrymen of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the same 4th Cavalry Brigade that stubbornly persisted in training cavalry charges even as nearly all Japanese cavalry had been converted to reconnaissance regiments and reconnaissance cavalry.

The heavy horse hooves hitting the ground, along with the tracks of the Type 97 tanks, made a terrifying sound that could even be heard clearly above the explosions of artillery shells. There was a compacted gravel road from Changru Village to Wucui Village. This road passed through two village positions, leaving two "carriageways" in the Anti-Japanese Trench for carriages and horses to pass through.

These devils were clearly prepared to brave the disadvantages of "cavalry entering the village" and follow this road to pierce the Wucuizhuang position in half!

The sudden resurgence of artillery fire completely crushed Wang Tiechui and the First Company of the Second Battalion of the 30th Regiment. The squadron-level charge, already showing signs of defeat, still occupied the few remaining mobile forces within the circular formation. Moreover, by the time the artillery fire finally subsided and the soldiers at the observation post raised their heads, a flanking assault force of tanks and cavalry had already reached within 400 meters of the front line.

At this moment, their speed reached nearly 30 kilometers per hour!

Wucui Village was attacked from both sides, reinforcements were blocked, and the problem of insufficient troops became increasingly serious.

Whether they had intended to focus their attack on the Wucui Village position on the flank from the beginning and concealed their intentions, or because the attack on Changru Village in front of the highway was not going well, they decided to change the main attack direction and launch an attack on the weak point of Wucui Village. This group of highly mobile Japanese soldiers demonstrated the basic qualities of an industrialized army to the fullest - they changed their formation on the spot, in an orderly manner, and with just the right amount of recklessness.

The 400-meter distance could be crossed in less than a minute for the cavalry tank group that had already entered a full-speed sprint! Almost in the blink of an eye, the cavalry and tanks crossed the distance of 100 meters and rushed into the "blocking zone" that was blown to pieces by artillery.

"Fire! Fire!" the platoon leader in charge of this section of the defense ordered decisively, "Fire! Fire!"

But bad news always comes one after another. The soldier who rushed to the trigger pressed the detonator of the broadsword mine, but the obstructions that should have sprayed a large cloud of metal after detonation did not react at all. The soldier pulled the fuse and was shocked to find that the previous artillery fire had already severed the ignition fuses on both sides!

"The live wire is broken!!" He almost cried in anxiety.

"Never mind! Everyone, get ready! Stab!"

In a split second, the 60mm mortar, which made an emergency turn, was completely unable to stop the more than one hundred cavalrymen and seven tanks galloping on the side, and it also gave the Type 95 light tanks and infantry on the front a chance to reorganize their formation and continue the attack.

Forced to halt their retreat, the Type 82 recoilless rifles, braving direct machine gun fire and artillery fire, desperately managed to stop a Type 95 light tank in the face. One of the gun crews was directly hit by the tank's artillery and killed in the explosion. The Liao-type light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, which were deployed in short supply, were severely lacking in firepower. The mines in front of the position, originally intended to stop infantry and even tanks, were also destroyed by the artillery fire.

bang bang bang!

The frontline soldiers unleashed a barrage of volleys, knocking several Japanese cavalrymen to the ground. However, the force of the impact still carried the hundreds of kilograms of solid objects into the half-man-high trench. The cavalrymen who hadn't been hit took advantage of the opportunity to kick their horses' bellies, sending them leaping. They drew their cavalry swords, using the impact to swing downward, instantly felling several soldiers to the ground.

The heavy machine guns on either side of the position quickly swung their muzzles around and began firing at the cavalrymen trapped between the outer and inner trenches. By this time, their momentum had diminished, making them perfect targets. But the Type 97 tanks, dragging concertina wire entangled in their road wheels, advanced a little further, rotating their turrets and aiming their barrels at the machine gunners who remained in action.

Then, boom!

The two sides suddenly became entangled - and at this moment, the Japanese infantry in the front were still struggling to move forward, intending to cross the final distance and rush into the front-line positions! "Special Service Battalion First Company! Everyone!"

Wang Tiechui was furious. He pushed aside his comrades who were trying to stop him from reaching the front line, grabbed a submachine gun, and rushed to block the breach with his team. He knew that pushing forward at this moment would be a life-or-death struggle. If these Japanese troops were to penetrate the entire Wucui Village, not only would the 60mm mortar positions of the 3th Regiment and the Special Service Battalion be in jeopardy, but the entire Wucui Village position could collapse!

"Pyramid, this is the Colosseum. Evacuate the southern frontline positions. Our troops will provide artillery support."

A voice suddenly emerged from the radio line, causing Wang Tiechui to freeze. Guo Shun, a communications soldier beside him, was sorting supplies, preparing to destroy the radio station in the headquarters. Upon hearing this, he immediately dropped the thermite pack in his hand and grabbed the transponder and wiring plug.

"Pyramid, received! Battalion Commander! Artillery fire support, south of the position!"

"Got it!" Wang Tiechui rushed out of the command center and blew his whistle toward the artillery position. "Guo Shun, pick up the phone!" "Pyramid, Big Ben, reinforcements will arrive from the No. 3 communication trench east of the position within three minutes."

Wang Tiechui only heard this last, calm, and reassuring command. Even through the radio, he knew it came from the commander of the artillery regiment in the rear, his experienced squad leader, Wu Jin. He had absolute trust in that veteran.

Hearing the whistle and the order, the artillery position led by the company commander of the special forces battalion, Lu Haotian, stopped allocating firepower to the southern part of the position which seemed to be in danger, and allowed the cavalry and Type 97 tanks that were engaging in close combat with our army to continue advancing, trying to break through the second trench again.

He then turned all his 60mm mortars towards the group of foot cavalry and Type 95 light tanks that were attacking from the west of the position. The Japanese soldiers, who had just been relieved from the suppressed environment and were able to take a breath, were once again attacked by artillery fire, and their offensive was once again frustrated. They were forced to continue to disperse and avoid the artillery fire.

On the southern side of the battlefield, the Japanese cavalry, having broken through the first anti-Japanese trench, had little time to rejoice before numerous smoke bombs, emitting white smoke, appeared around them. The Communist troops, who had just been desperately resisting, turned around and took shelter in the winding trenches using the smoke bombs.

Now, one of the seven Type 97 tanks had its running gear entangled by barbed wire, making it difficult to move; one had its track blown off by an anti-tank mine, and was then hit by two "grenades" on the body, causing a chain reaction explosion; the last few were struggling to climb up from the trench, trying to get back on the ground and lead the cavalry to attack the second trench - the entire charge formation was like an armor-piercing projectile with insufficient penetration power. After penetrating the first layer of "armor", it was blocked by the second layer of armor and had to be squeezed and deformed, and compressed into a large pancake shape.

This is an excellent...

Before they could figure it out, the distinctive whistle of the mortar rang out again. This time, the firepower wasn't from the 60mm mortar, which resembled a large grenade, or the 82mm mortar that had already appeared, but from the 100mm mortar, which had a longer range and greater power!

The "long-range artillery group" behind the position consisted of 12 guns with 100 mortars each. Using the Wucui Village marker that had been determined long ago as a reference, under the collective command, they fired a massive and effective salvo, covering most of the Japanese army formation that had exhausted its kinetic energy. Two 82mm "APU" high and low pressure anti-tank guns equipped with power-assisted truck engines and short-range maneuverability reached the rear positions of Wucui Village and Changru Village along the anti-Japanese trench communication trench.

The gunners loaded their armor-piercing shells. The warhead, with a static penetration capability of 200mm, flew across a distance of about 500 meters and accurately hit the Type 97 medium-sized fighter, which was immobilized under the hail of mortar shells, turning it into a torch!

Chapter 435: Bloody Interception (5) Avengers

(Update)

"Ahh...Kasan....Hoho.....Wuwuwu!"

Shi Yintang, captain of the Wuji County guerrillas, silently gripped the bayonet handle, tensing his arm and pressing his entire weight against it. The Japanese soldier pinned beneath him struggled mightily, grasping the bayonet with his hands, but he could not escape Captain Shi's grip. Finally, the nearly bent bayonet pierced the soldier's heart—his eyes widened with fear and pain, his whole body trembled, and he became motionless.

Captain Shi Yintang rolled off him silently like a cat, peering around. After making sure the area was safe, he double-checked to make sure the man was dead, then dragged him deeper into the wheat field: the several dozen centimeters of wheat would provide cover, and the cover of darkness would delay the discovery of the body.

He squatted down, confirmed that the man was dead, and then began to search the body of this Japanese soldier.

The body was still warm, the bayonet in the chest stabbing the gushing blood. But Shi Yintang felt no discomfort. He quickly removed the Japanese soldier's leather belt and backpack and slung them around himself. He observed the scene for a moment, then surveyed his surroundings again. He scrambled to pick up a Type 38 rifle leaning against a tree root and quickly left the scene. Just then, this unfortunate individual had left his guard post to "resolve a personal matter" in a dark place, only to be "solved" by Captain Shi.

I don't know how long it will take for the Japanese to find out...

Shi Yintang pulled the safety of a grenade, then gripped the firing pin flap and pressed it down with the corpse. After completing his deployment, he quickly left the scene with his harvest, crossing the fields and diving into the crisscrossing trenches of the anti-Japanese war. After running nearly a kilometer, he stopped at a corner.

There was an ammunition backpack on the ground that had been placed there earlier. It was left by a fallen comrade and now became Shi Yintang's backpack. He glanced at the backpack that was supported by a few stones.

The "Turtle Fist" shoulder-fired artillery, which is in a "ready-to-fire state", thought about it.

After a while, he walked over and turned the battery switch to the "lock" position, untied the trip wire used to trigger the fuse, and then began to check his gains.
