The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 38 The more frontal kills the better
The top of the city tower.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong, who had been paying close attention to Cang Yongling's battle situation, were dumbfounded.

They also noticed the lone cannon that exploded at a relatively central position in the Japanese camp.

It's just that the distance is too far, and neither of them has realized what that means.

But then, in the eyes of the two, the Eighth Route Army fell into a passive and mortal situation, and then a big reversal began.

The Eighth Route Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from three directions at the same time.

Whenever encountering a local position where the devils took advantage of their firepower, the Eighth Route Army would adopt Sakata's previous tactic against Li Yunlong, attacking from the front and quickly turning around and attacking from the flanks.

Since the follow-up main force of the Sakata Alliance has not yet arrived, at this moment, the three Eighth Route Army forces that are attacking from the front at the same time are going to crush the forward troops of the Sakata Alliance in terms of strength.

The quick detour of the flanks can often cooperate with the fierce frontal offensive to quickly break through the Japanese defense.

Soon, the vanguard of Bantian United, which was still in a stable situation, began to retreat steadily.

What puzzled Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong the most was that in the face of this quiet change in the situation, that old guy with excellent military literacy, Sakata, didn't seem to have adjusted his tactics to deal with it.

So much so that the Japanese army relied on the temporary command of front-line officers to hold on to the situation.

However, from Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong's point of view, on the entire Cangyunling battlefield, the Japanese attacking troops at all levels were fighting alone. On a local scale, they were indeed fighting vigorously, but on the whole, they lacked unity. The cooperation and coordination between them are like a mess of loose sand.

"What the hell is this old devil Sakata doing?" Fang Ligong couldn't help complaining.

Just as they were talking, the communications soldier in charge of communicating with the forward reconnaissance post returned to report:

"Reporting to the regiment, news came from the forward reconnaissance post that the Eighth Route Army attacking from the left wing of the Sakata Regiment used concealed mortar firepower to kill the Sakata Regiment Command Post in one shot. The Japanese Army Regiment Captain Sakata and the Chief of Staff of the Bantian Regiment It is suspected to be dead, but it cannot be confirmed for the time being.”

Fang Ligong was stunned and said, "What did you say? The Eighth Route Army destroyed the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment with one shot?"

The signal soldier said: "Report to the chief of staff, there is a radio station behind the high slope, it should be the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment!"

Fang Ligong was even more shocked, "Tuan Zuo, this, how is this possible?"

Chu Yunfei said: "If it hadn't happened before, I really thought it was unlikely, so I never thought about it in this direction, but now it seems that the Eighth Route Army, they have indeed achieved it.

Otherwise, in the face of the attacks of the three Eighth Route Armies, the Japanese troops at all levels would never have defended in such a disorderly manner, lacking coordination and reinforcement cooperation among each other. "

"You mean, because the old devil in Sakata was killed by a cannonball, the high command of the Sakata United was paralyzed, and there was no top-level adjustment and command, so the current situation appeared?"

"There is only one explanation." Chu Yunfei said.

"Oh my God!" Fang Ligong instantly understood his previous doubts, and exclaimed, "These Eight Routes are really crazy. They are facing the crisis of the destruction of the three main groups, and they just pulled their teeth out of the tiger's mouth." , if there is any accident in the middle, if the headquarters of Bantian United is not successfully destroyed, once the follow-up main force of Bantian United joins the forward troops, the three eight-way teams may be finished!"

"But now it seems that they succeeded!" Chu Yunfei laughed.

Fang Ligong shook his head and said: "It's too risky to win. Even if such a battle is known to be feasible, our team may not be able to do it."

"What do you think is the reason why our troops can't do this step?" Chu Yunfei asked.

"The risk is too great. This is obviously a desperate attempt. If we fail, we cannot bear the loss." Fang Ligong replied.

Chu Yunfei shook his head.

"The group thinks it is..."

Chu Yunfei said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. How can there be so many guarantees? Oftentimes, putting all one's eggs in one basket can bring out the commander's agility and courage, but our troops not only lack the agility of the Eighth Route Army troops, but also lack their all-or-nothing and doom and gloom. A determination to see death as home.

Meeting on a narrow road, if the first loses courage, half of the loss has already been lost! "

Fang Ligong thought for a while, then nodded: "Big suggestion!"

"It's just that I don't know about one thing, Brother Ligong. Judging from the information sent back from the forward observation post, it seems that there is no effective communication link between the three and eight groups attacking from the front of the Japanese army and the two wings? Because of the time when they launched the attack It's not consistent, but it seems to follow."

"Yes, Tuan Zuo, the Eighth Route Army's communication methods are extremely backward, and their radio communication has only been equipped to the brigade level so far!"

Chu Yunfei continued: "Obviously, the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Japanese army from the left flank went straight to the headquarters of the Bantian Regiment, intending to use mortars to kill the headquarters of the Bantian Regiment. The Eighth Route Army from the other two directions It should be unclear.

But what is shocking is that they can still cooperate tacitly with each other on the three-party battlefield so far apart, and use the three-party attack as a cover, and finally successfully assist the left-wing attacking Eighth Route Army to kill the Bantian regiment headquarters with one shot.

Has the level of trust between the various units of the Eighth Route Army and each other reached the point where they can trust each other with their lives?
The Eighth Route Army unit that was being attacked by the Japanese army suddenly turned its guns to break out from the front. Could it be that he was sure that the reinforcements on both sides would use the same frontal attack to relieve the pressure on his own side?

You must know that if there is one missing link in this, the devil can turn around and swallow the eight-way branch in front of him in one bite! "

Fang Ligong was also shocked by Chu Yunfei's words, which was indeed an unbelievable thing.

Chu Yunfei sighed and said: "Brother Li Gong, it seems that we all underestimate the Eighth Route Army now, and we still have a lot to learn from them!"

........................

The left wing of the Cangyunling position.

After successfully killing the headquarters of the Sakata Alliance, the independent regiment's offensive momentum was the strongest.

Whenever encountering the devil's defensive position, the death squad quickly raided from the two wings, and in the frontal attack, there was the curved fire of the mortar, and the precise firepower of the commando members to suppress the devil's machine gunners and gunners.

Therefore, the independent regiment made the fastest progress, taking the lead in tearing a huge gap in the devil's defense and breaking out all the way.

Next came the Xinyi Regiment and the [-]st Regiment. Before the Devils could make up the gap in defense that had been torn open by Kong Jie's independent regiment, the Independent Regiment and the [-]st Regiment followed.

The battle quickly became fierce, and the shortage of the devil's forward troops was a huge disadvantage. Under the continuous impact of the Independent Regiment, Xinyi Regiment, and Seven Seventh Regiment, the casualties increased sharply.

Kong Jie, who took the lead in the charge, also had a lot of color on his body, turned his head and shouted: "First Battalion Commander, how is the situation, have all the comrades rushed out?"

Wang Leihu responded: "Regimental Commander, the Xinyi Regiment and the [-]st Regiment also launched a breakthrough from the front and followed us. The main force of our three regiments attacked together. The devil camp couldn't stop it at all. The brothers all rushed out. !"

"it is good!"

At this time, the reconnaissance platoon leader returned and reported to Kong Jiehui: "Reporting to the leader, the follow-up main force of Bantian United is less than one mile away from us. The devils seem to want to wipe us out, and they are encircling us. roundabout."

Hearing this, Kong Jie was not worried but happy, "Good time!"

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, said puzzledly: "Regimental commander, don't look at the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment being destroyed by us, and we have broken through the encirclement from the front, but once the devil's follow-up main force arrives, we still have no choice but to escape, you Why are you still so happy?"

Kong Jiele said: "Since the war is starting, it is natural to fight hard and fast, just to avenge the political commissar and comrades who died. The more devils come, the happier I am naturally."

"Pass it on, the entire regiment of the Independent Regiment will retreat eastward in a detour!"
