War of Resistance: This Company Commander Doesn't Play by the Rules

In 1940, tactical instructor Zhao Chengze transmigrates into the acting company commander of an Eighth Route Army unit. The entire company numbers fewer than forty men, with just three bullets per person.

The Japanese troops use a grenade launcher to take out the machine-gun position. The battalion commander gives him a death order: Take it out! With what? Zhao Chengze has only a Type 64 pistol and five bullets.

“Old Sun, tie the grenades together. Throw them when you hear me fire.”

“Shoot a pistol at two hundred meters? Are you crazy?”

“Who says I have to hit anything? The Japanese just need to hear the machine gun.”

Three shots ring out. The Japanese duck to reload, and six grenades come raining down. While their machine gun jams, the whole company charges with bayonets fixed!

After the battle, Old Sun scratches his head. “The company commander made the machine gun fire a few times, and the Japanese threw their launcher into a ditch themselves.”

Zhao Chengze doesn't laugh. This trick will only work once. He turns to the battalion commander and asks, “Can you replace our bayonets with entrenching shovels? They can chop and dig. Will you do it?”

From an Eighth Route Army soldier with three shots to a tactical company that appears and vanishes without a trace, he never fights by the book.

Fight with your brains, not by filling trenches with bodies!
