my bright sword career

Chapter 300 Take a break

The Japanese army had suffered heavy losses from the bombing of 30 artillery pieces, and the armored battalion attacked extremely quickly. Therefore, in less than 10 minutes, the armored battalion captured the first line of defense.

The loss of the first line of defense not only silenced the entire Ninth Brigade, but even Brigadier Chen, who was watching the battle from behind, was taken aback.

"Damn, isn't such an attack too sharp?"

Brigadier Chen, who put down his binoculars, looked at the independent regiment attacking the second line of defense following the tank, turned his head to Chief of Staff Li of the 386th Brigade behind him, and said, "Old Li, how long did it take for the attack to end just now? "

Chief of Staff Li looked at his watch and replied in a positive tone: "Ten and eight minutes."

"Ten seven minutes."

Brigadier Chen was silent for a while, and then said with emotion: "Before this, if someone told me that he was going to use a half-regiment force to actively attack a full brigade position of the Japanese army, I would have thought him crazy, but now In front of my eyes, they took down the first position of the Japanese army in less than 10 minutes, are the little devils so weak now?"

Chief of Staff Li said: "Brigade Commander, it's not that the devils have become weaker, but that we have become stronger. Can you imagine that one day our Eighth Route Army not only used 30 large-caliber artillery to fire at the Japanese positions for half an hour before attacking?" Ready, do you still have dozens of tanks as cover during the attack?

You just saw that the devils fired several artillery pieces at those tanks just now, but those shells had no effect at all when they hit the tanks. Instead, they were knocked out by the tanks with artillery. The task of our infantry is to follow the tanks Clearing out the devils hiding in the trenches in the back is the first time I, Lao Li, have seen such a way of fighting. "

"Yes!"

Brigadier Chen agreed: "Sun Tzu said: It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, invades like fire, and immovable as a mountain. This sentence is very similar to the offensive of the armored troops. As long as they can continue to maintain this offensive, even if they can't defeat the first Ninth Brigade, but it is still possible to annihilate part of their vitality and even severely injure them."

"The Chinese launched an attack on the Ninth Brigade?"

The news of the attack on the Ninth Brigade soon reached the ears of Anda 37, who was commanding the 23th Division to launch an attack on Guojialing.

Although he was a little surprised, he didn't take it seriously, and even couldn't help laughing. In his opinion, if the Imperial Japanese Army didn't take the initiative to launch an attack, those Chinese people were already going to laugh. How could they have the courage to attack the Imperial Army? , but also a brigade.

He smiled and asked: "Which unit attacked them, has the Ninth Brigade repelled them now? Leave them alone, the Chinese are just trying to divert our division's attention, in the words of the Chinese Said, this is called besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

Seeing Anda 23's nonchalant attitude, the staff officer became a little anxious: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the situation of the Ninth Brigade is not very good. Just 10 minutes after the Chinese attacked, the first line of defense of the Ninth Brigade has been destroyed. The Chinese captured it, and now Suzuki Shigekang, the commander of the brigade, is commanding the troops to stick to the second line of defense."

"Nani?"

The words of the staff officer made Anda 23, who was about to raise the telescope again, froze, and his neck twisted slowly and stiffly like a patient with cervical spondylosis, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Looking at the wide-eyed Anda 23, the staff officer bit the bullet and said: "The Ninth Brigade came to report that before the Chinese launched their attack, they deliberately covered the Ninth Brigade's position with heavy artillery for half an hour, and then They dispatched dozens of chariots and about 4000 infantry to suddenly attack the Ninth Brigade, and the Ninth Brigade was caught off guard...and lost the first position."

After saying this, the staff officer couldn't help lowering his head and shrinking his neck, for fear that Anda 23, who was in a rage, would slap himself a few times. After all, in the Japanese army, it is common for superiors to slap subordinates. thing.

However, what he was worried about did not happen. Anda 23 thought for a while before slowly saying: "The Chinese people are in a hurry. They want our division to send troops to reinforce the Ninth Brigade, so as to reduce the pressure on the Third Army of China. pressure."

Anda 23 is worthy of being a person who has been in the army for a long time, and he saw through Gao Hongming's plan at a glance.

But the staff officer was a little worried, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, even so, the Chinese were able to break through the first line of defense of the Ninth Brigade in just 10 minutes, which also shows that their attack power is very strong. We Do you want to give them some support, even supporting an alliance is good."

"You're confused!" Anda 23 sternly said, "Let me ask you, has the Ninth Brigade asked us for tactical guidance?"

"That... no."

"Since there is none, it means that the war is still under Suzuki-kun's control. If we rashly send reinforcements, we might disrupt the deployment of the Ninth Brigade. Why do we do such a thankless thing?"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, is wise, you have been taught in a humble position!" The chief of staff nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you go down first, pay attention to pay close attention to the movements of the Ninth Brigade, and report any information in time."

"Hi!"

…………

"Quick... Keep up... Keep up... Don't fall behind!"

Holding a 98K rifle in his hand, Lu Xianping bent over and ran forward along a small road, the surrounding scenery kept passing by, and behind him were more than a dozen soldiers from the second battalion and the first company.

Lu Xianping, who has been in the military for more than a year, has long since faded from his youthfulness and has become a qualified veteran. His military rank has also changed from private to corporal. Because he has a flexible mind and calm and calm fighting, he was also appointed as a The monitor of the third class.

It stands to reason that after becoming the squad leader, Lu Xianping is already qualified to use the MP40 submachine gun, but he still holds the original 98K rifle and is unwilling to change it. In his words, he is used to this gun and does not want to change it again.

Considering this guy's precise marksmanship, the superiors let him go.

As the main force of the Second Battalion, the task of the First Company today is to go around to the left side of the Ninth Brigade's defense line and launch an attack from the side and rear, killing as much as possible of the Japanese army's vital forces and creating a tense atmosphere.

If one company is a company of sharp knives, then Lu Xianping's first squad is the sharp knife point of a company.

In May, the vegetation on Zhongtiao Mountain was very lush. When the group came to a bush, Lu Xianping squatted down and raised his right hand high.

After seeing his gesture, more than ten people behind him all stopped.

Lu Xianping wiped the sweat from his brow, "Everyone stop for a while, and wait for the brothers behind to catch up before moving on."
