The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 118 Blocking Deployment
Then, Kong Jie began to arrange combat deployment.

Before arranging the battle, Kong Jie first asked the soldiers to gather some important weapons at hand.

Damaged and temporarily unusable firearms and equipment do not count.

At this time, the team left behind to block the Japanese army's pursuit included eight Japanese-style Taisho 11-year light machine guns, four [-]-style grenade launchers, three [-]-style sniper rifles, and two of them were commando investigation teams. Long Mu was captured in the prisoner-of-war camp, but Mu Mu didn't participate in the war, so he kept both sniper rifles.

In addition, there are more than 50 hand grenades and more than 40 grenades.

Of the captured [-]-style rifles, the soldiers each carried five or six of them. The soldiers of the seventh class just took some away when they covered the students to leave, and left some behind.

As for the standard German-made MP38 submachine guns on the commando members, it is another calculation.

There will be more bullets. This time, whether it is the commando or the soldiers of the seventh squad, the ammunition they carry is quite sufficient.
The soldiers have no worries about ammunition for the time being, and they can provide a relatively long-lasting supply of ammunition for a small-scale enemy resistance battle.

After the firearms and equipment were assembled, Kong Jie began to assign tasks.

Before assigning the task, Kong Jie said this, "We have a great advantage in terrain for this blocking battle after the gentle slope. When we were blocked under the gentle slope by the devil's machine gun and grenadier fire, the kind of suffocation I think you all know the feeling of Qu."

"It's the little devil's turn to be aggrieved."

"The gentle slope in front of us is very strange. If he wants to use this road to chase the students and soldiers who are evacuating behind us, the only way for him to go is through the gentle slope."

"Of course, the two sides can also be detoured, just like I sent Xizi and Ye Min to lead a detour to attack the devil's machine gun fortification earlier."

"Besides, unless the little devil detours far and runs an extra dozen kilometers, but by the time the little devil goes around, our students will probably already be drinking hot water in the base area."

"So the defense point of the gentle slope blocking battle is very simple. There are only two points. One is to suppress the firepower on the front of the gentle slope, to prevent the Japanese army from breaking through the gentle slope, and the other is to guard against the direction of the two sides. Sneak attack!"

"Each flank is equipped with two light machine guns. Our team now has a total of 23 people, and each flank is divided into four people. Cao Zheng is in charge of the road, and Ye Min is in charge of the road. Choose the right team members yourself. Remember to set up booby traps in advance. Make preparations and never let the little devil come up from the flank."

"Yes!" Cao Zheng and Ye Min stood up and answered, and then began to select people from the team.

"The fire on the center line of Gentle Slope is under my personal command. I am equipped with four light machine guns. We have 15 center line fighters left, but there are two of them. Old Zheng and the howitzers are in charge of the grenadier positions behind. There are more than two people available to cooperate with Lao Zheng and the howitzer to carry out grenadier fire suppression, so in fact, our combat personnel only have 11 people."

"But it is enough. The main firepower blocking point is about 200 meters away from the gentle slope. The grenadier is slightly behind. The firepower of the grenade and the light machine gun are scattered."

"The task of the grenade is not only to provide artillery strikes at any time to help stop the devils on the front of the gentle slope, but also to provide artillery support to the teams on both sides as needed."

"Spark and Cao Zheng, make sure that the two flanks can maintain sign language command communication with the grenadier position. For the specific communication plan, you can find the howitzer and Lao Zheng."

"Yes!" Assault team leader Wang Hua, nicknamed Spark, agreed with the fire team leader Cao Zheng.

"As for the construction of the light machine gun fortifications, remember, try to hide under the roots of the trees. There are some big trees behind our gentle slope that can be used as cover. The machine gunners of the two devils were directly fired by the howitzers because they were too exposed. Kill them, as for the two devil machine gunners hiding under the tree roots, it was the commandos behind who touched them and killed them."

"We can't make that mistake."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie continued: "Before we were suppressed by the firepower of the devils at the bottom of the gentle slope, our means of response was not only a surprise attack from the two wings, but also a counterattack with the curved firepower of the grenadier, so this is what we have to beware of .”

"We can think of it, the little devil may not have thought of it, if the devil uses curved fire to attack, have you thought about it, how should we respond?"

Hao Daguang looked at the surrounding environment, then pointed to a relatively thick tree not far away and said, "Head Kong, what do you think of this big tree? There are many branches in the crown of the tree. If our sentry Hiding on the top, the little devils are not easy to detect, and through the gaps in the leaves, you can see the situation a little farther under the gentle slope, so beware of the devils sneak attacking us with grenades."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Old Hao and I thought about going together, so we used this method."

Then, Kong Jie appointed a member of the commando to serve as a forward observation post on the canopy, and use sign language to pass orders at any time to provide targets for the howitzer and Lao Zheng, so that they can shoot ahead of the devil's grenadier. Drop the devil's grenadier fire.

After the candidates for the scout post and the grenadier are determined.

Next is to arrange snipers and machine gunners.

Needless to say, the snipers were Ye Min, Wang Xikui, Zhao Gang, and the young student Wen Jie.

The rifle firepower does not need much, with the four of them present, if the devils dare to show themselves on the gentle slope, there is only one dead end.

The next step is to determine the candidate for the machine gunner, and Kong Jie is also one of the machine gunners.

Because of some structural shortcomings of the devil's crooked light machine gun, the firepower of the machine gun would be greatly reduced in the absence of ammunition hands, so Kong Jie equipped two of the light machine gunners with ammunition hands.

It's just that the ammunition is not enough, and it can only be provided for two of the light machine guns.

For the last light machine gun, Kong Jie handed it to Monk Wei, "Monk, when you were fighting in the mine earlier, your kid's machine gun was pretty good. Let's compete to see who can kill more devils."

The monk is actually still a little confused now!
The situation was urgent before, and Kong Jie didn't think too much, so he called his name.

Now the monk knows, it turned out that from the prisoner-of-war camp he rescued himself, he fought against the devils along the way, and the leader Kong who broke through the siege was the one he admired from the bottom of his heart. Destroyed the headquarters of the Sakata Alliance and killed Kong Jie, the Eighth Route Army hero who killed the old devil Sakata.

After taking the light machine gun from Kong Jie in a daze, the monk couldn't help asking, "So you are Kong Jie, head of the group!"

Kong Jie was startled, and couldn't help laughing, but forgot about it.

"Why, not like it?" Kong Jie asked back.

The monk quickly shook his head and said, "Like, it's so similar, the Captain Kong Jie in my mind is just like you!"

Speaking of this, the monk who was originally very arrogant, actually asked with some anxiety: "Well, leader, do you still count what you said earlier?"

"What are you talking about?" Kong Jie pretended to be confused while pretending to understand.

The monk said anxiously: "I'm just inviting me to join the Eighth Route Army, to join your independent regiment!"

"Is there? Did I say that?" Kong Jie pretended not to know, and turned to look at the others.

Howitzer laughed and said: "No, monk, I didn't hear the leader say that."

Monk Wei: "..."

Grandma's intestines are almost green!
Kong Jie looked at the monk's anxious look, and said happily, "I said monk, you are really a deadhead. You followed our Eighth Route Army to fight devils, and your mother insisted on recognizing someone. I invited you two or three times before. I was stunned." Are you unwilling to let go, and now you want to join our Eighth Route Army?"

The monk scratched his head and said: "Head, you didn't say that you are Kong Jie before! If you said it earlier, I agreed to it early in the morning. I will follow you, and I won't be able to drive you away!"

After hearing this, Kong Jie laughed heartily, "That's fine, that's it!"

The monk froze for a moment, "Leader, what do you mean by that? Did you agree with me to join the independent group?"

Kong Jie scolded: "I said you are a brainless boy, you are really on the bar, you said that you are so kind to each other, and we can hear it warmly in our hearts, can I not agree?"

"Hey, thank you, Commander!" The monk was overjoyed, and quickly gave a military salute to Kong Jie.

The soldiers also laughed.
