The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 419 Defeating the Japanese Brigade

Small village.

Back village area, west slope.

Looking at the corpses of the imperial soldiers all over the place, the captain of the devil's face was ashen.

He thought he had the chance to win, but at this moment he was severely slapped in the face.

Finally arrived at the place, the squadron he deployed on the west slope was completely wiped out, and the Eighth Route Army in Xiaoshan Village disappeared.

"Baga, what's going on here?"

Then, when the devil soldiers were collecting the corpses of their companions, they tripped over two more booby traps, and five devils were killed on the spot.

This time it was a new enmity combined with an old enmity, and the captain of the Devil's brigade blushed on the spot.

Then, the team of a company that Commander Feng deliberately stayed at the rear was quickly discovered by Japanese scouts, and the news reached the ears of the Japanese commander.

"Report sir, a Tuba road is found fleeing in a ravine not far away!"

Finally found the instigator, the Japanese army captain immediately ordered: "Pursue immediately, destroy this Tubalu, and leave no one behind!"

"Hi!"

The devil's captain was beaten out of anger. He thought that the Eighth Route Army that wiped out the small mountain village would be sure, but he didn't expect the failure in front of him.

The adjutant frowned at the side, "Sir, something is not quite right. If you look carefully at the traces of the position on the west slope, it is obviously caused by the continuous bombardment."

"But the Tuba Road in the small mountain village we are dealing with is very backward in equipment. How can they have such artillery at hand?"

The captain of the Japanese army, who slowly calmed down from his anger, followed the adjutant's expectations and quickly noticed the problem.

"So, I don't know the specific situation. The Tuba Road in the small mountain village we are chasing may have a certain number of artillery on hand."

The adjutant said: "Hey, although the caliber is not large, it is enough to threaten our machine gunners and gunners."

"Then, what our scouts noticed in front of us, the fleeing Tubalu, is a bit intriguing." The devil's captain groped his chin and said to himself:
"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. This Tuba Road team has a lot of appetite, and they still want to eat my entire team?"

After thinking for a while, the Japanese army captain ordered: "Order, send out the vanguard in advance to search the area where the main force is going, and beware of these cunning Tubalu secretly ambush."

"Light and heavy machine guns and grenade grenade fire points are scattered and arranged to avoid being secretly attacked by the Tuba Road and concentrated fire."

"Since the Eighth Route Army has a certain number of small-caliber artillery in their hands, in this way, put the artillery squad behind and put it out of the range of the enemy's small-caliber artillery."

"Once the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army are exposed, immediately use infantry artillery to carry out targeted clearing."

"Hi!"

……

In fact, Kong Jie should be thankful that the direction the fifth regiment withdrew was not the direction in which his cavalry company came.

In addition, the soil in this area is hard, and the horseshoe prints are very shallow.

The horseshoe prints left by the horses in response to the cavalry advance of the Japanese squadron were more than 200 meters away from the west slope position, and were covered by weeds.

The devil scouts didn't notice it, otherwise the devil captain could easily deduce that Tubalu had information on the cavalry in his hands.

……

When the battle started, the Japanese army and the fifth regiment each occupied a gentle slope as a bunker in the Xiaolingou area and fought positional warfare.

In order to avoid the concentrated killing of the Japanese artillery fire, Commander Feng arranged the firepower of the team's light machine guns in a relatively scattered manner.

"Old Feng, according to the speed of our cavalry, it will take at least half an hour to get back to the rear of the Devil's artillery team. Let's try to hold back the Japanese army!"

Kong Jie said that at this moment, Kong Jie led some soldiers of the guard company to fight against the Japanese army together with the soldiers of the fifth regiment.

"The firepower point of the light machine gun should not be exposed for too long. Every 2 minutes of firing, immediately move to the next shooting location."

Kong Jie confessed.

On a hidden slope somewhere behind the Japanese army, Captain Guizi temporarily built his headquarters here. At this moment, he is holding a telescope to observe the battle situation in the distance.

"The firepower configuration of this Tuba Road seems to have been strengthened a lot, and the number of light machine guns has increased a lot, but the opponent did not use artillery.

It seems that we are waiting for the firepower of our grenadiers to be exposed first!
In this way, pass on the order to let the first grenadier position fire, and first destroy the machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army. "

"Hi!"

boom -

The grenadier shells fired by the devils in groups have a high hit rate in coverage.

Head Feng is here.There were three light machine guns that misfired directly under the bombardment.

"Transfer the machine gun position immediately!" Captain Feng roared hastily.

At the same time, Kong Jie, who noticed the location of the Japanese grenadier position, immediately gave the order to shell.

Rumbling--

The unilateral madness of the little devil cannot continue here.

The devil's grenadier position opened fire first, after knocking out the firepower of three light machine guns of the fifth regiment.

The six [-] small cannons on Kong Jie's side fired at the same time, covering the exposed grenadier positions of the devils.

The two sides launched a confrontation of artillery fire.

In the first round of fighting, the first grenadier position of the Japanese army knocked out the firepower of the three-body light machine gun of the fifth regiment, and Kong Jie's six [-] small guns directly blew up the five grenade launchers in the devil's position.

Seeing that the blow was successful, Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Transfer the shelling point immediately."

"Yes!"

The monk responded and let the six [-] small cannons quickly move a distance of tens of meters to the right position.

Shifting his front foot, the devil's shell almost landed on the position where the six [-] small cannons were located before with his back foot.

Judging by the power of this shell, it is definitely not a grenadier shell, it should be the devil who used the infantry artillery.

"so close!"

Looking at the small artillery positions flooded by the [-]mm grenades of the Devil's infantry guns, Kong Jie was terrified. No one can always stand in the perspective of God in the command on the battlefield.

From God's point of view, it's a simple thing, but without the knowledge of the two parties, they are completely gambling with their lives.

The only thing Kong Jie can do is to think as many steps as possible to minimize his own casualties.

boom -

The devil's shells smashed again, and the fifth regiment had two light machine guns that misfired. Although the light machine guns would shift every less than 2 minutes, the Japanese artillery shells would still hit accurately within these 2 minutes. .

It's a devil's grenade.

Obviously, the previous bombardment of the six [-] small guns did not completely destroy the devil's grenadier.

And the little devil is also very shrewd. After realizing the power of the independent regiment's [-]th cannon, the devil's captain ordered that after a round of shelling from several grenadier positions, he immediately shifted the shelling position.

As a result, the [-] small cannons of the independent regiment may not be able to achieve results every time.

The devil also has a big advantage. He has two infantry guns with a longer range in his hands, so he can bombard the artillery and light machine guns exposed by the Eighth Route Army at any time without any scruples.

On the battlefield, the artillery of both sides quickly became the main theme.

Head Feng watched from the sidelines secretly in shock. In such a head-on confrontation, the Fifth Regiment could not intervene at all.

The little devil seemed to be preparing to use artillery to deal with the opponent. The devil's infantry were hiding behind the bunker one by one, unable to shoot at all.

Commander Feng also ordered the soldiers to use the bunkers to disperse and avoid the devil's artillery fire. The momentum of the infantry confrontation on both sides weakened, as if watching their own artillery show in silence.

The bombardment from both sides came and went, each with casualties.

Kong Jie became more and more anxious as he fought.

Commander Kong is not willing to do business at a loss of money. A positional battle like this is purely a competition for the consumption of shells. Even if the independent regiment is not weak, it cannot afford it.

Fight ammunition consumption with the little devil with guaranteed logistics, fool?
"Monk, immediately lead all the small artillery to retreat 200 meters, and add a propellant package when shelling. Let's use the range to suppress the devil's grenadier, and spread all the small artillery to beware of the devil's infantry artillery."

"Shoot the shells sparingly, the devil's grenade launcher is not exposed, so it is not allowed to fire."

"Yes!"

In fact, what Kong Jie wanted to do more was to simply cease fire and wait for the devil's infantry to press up before firing.

It's just that right now we need to buy time for the cavalry's detour and want to avoid the casualties of our own soldiers, so we can only fight like this.

Fortunately, the [-] small cannons that fired the powder packs were added, which had a longer range than the Devil's [-]-type grenadier. Coupled with the advantage in numbers, the Devil's infantry guns only had two after all.

During the confrontation between the two sides again, the grenadier positions where the devils exposed were quickly knocked down by the [-] small cannons.

The devil's captain was also taken aback, and quickly ordered the artillery team to move back 200 meters again, avoiding the longest range of the [-] small cannon.

The devil's captain was also getting more and more frightened as he fought more and more at this moment. The strength of the artillery displayed in the hands of this Tubalu far exceeded his expectations.

The opponent seems to be using a grenade, but it hits farther and is more powerful than the Empire's [-]-style grenade.

If it weren't for the two infantry cannons of the artillery squad, his imperial brigade would even be crushed by the opponent's artillery.

In this way, time was quickly lost in the contest between the two sides.

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian finally led the No. [-] cavalry from the flanks to the back of the Japanese artillery squad.

After approaching the back of the Japanese army, less than a kilometer away.

The soldiers of the cavalry company abandoned their horses and temporarily tied their horses in the hidden woods, then quickly relied on the terrain, and approached the back of the Japanese army all the way in concealment.

In order to ensure the precise bombardment of the 600 small artillery, Sun Desheng and his party had to lead the team to secretly touch the Japanese infantry artillery within [-] meters.

The location of Wuminggou was chosen very well. On the back side of the Japanese army, it was not a flat area with a wide view, but a lot of mountains and forests and gentle slopes, which made it easier for Sun Desheng and his party to move forward secretly.

At this time, the attention of the Japanese army was all attracted to the Fifth Regiment facing Wuminggou.

There are hundreds of cavalry company soldiers hidden in this continuous mountain. Even if the devils deploy sentries in the rear to guard, they cannot easily detect it.

As the soldiers of the cavalry company continued to approach, they were getting closer and closer to the Devils artillery team.

800 meters!
700 meters!
600 meters!
It soon arrived within the precise range of the [-] cannon.

The two infantry cannons of the Devil Artillery Squad were attracted by the firepower of Kong Jie's side and kept firing.

This is exactly what Kong Jie wanted to achieve, to expose the devil's infantry artillery at all times, so that the soldiers of the cavalry company lurking in the dark could carry out bombardment and sneak attacks.

boom -

When seven or eight artillery shells were fired at once, they directly hit the area where the Japanese artillery team was located and exploded.

Looking at the two infantry guns under fire.

The leader of the devil group was stupid. He had chased them all the way before, but scouts were sent to investigate carefully on both sides. Where did this team hiding in the forest and shelling and sneaking attack come from?

No one will tell him the answer, two infantry guns have been damaged.

The devil captain, who had come to his senses, issued an order in anger to let the grenadiers bombard the Eighth Route Army who was attacking from the back.

The sound came to the fifth regiment.

Kong Jie, who noticed that the devil's infantry artillery stopped suddenly, said happily, "Old Feng, the devil's infantry artillery has been destroyed!"

"You can move forward and launch an attack."

"Okay!" Head Feng immediately gave the order to attack without saying a word.

Kong Jie commanded the small artillery platoon to move forward, controlling the distance from the Japanese artillery, ensuring that the [-] small artillery could suppress the devil's grenadier at any time outside the effective range of the devil's [-]-type grenadier. And the firepower of light and heavy machine guns.

The dismounted cavalry unit led by Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, after successfully destroying the devil's infantry artillery, immediately retreated for a certain distance, relying on the mountains and forests as cover fortifications, and flanked the Japanese army from the back and the fifth regiment.

When launching the attack, Commander Feng used a little trick to make two of the troops detour from the mountains and forests for a certain distance, and then launched an attack from multiple directions at the same time. The illusion of crowds.

Coupled with the suppression of the firepower of the [-] small artillery, the devil originally wanted to rely on the firepower of light and heavy machine guns to deal with the charge launched by the Eighth Route Army.

But once the location is exposed, it will soon be destroyed by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

If the shooting location is constantly shifted, the efficiency of fire strikes will be delayed.

Sun Desheng and his party, who blocked from the back and side, also had strong firepower.

The deficit before and after the battle made the Japanese captain's mentality unstable.

The captain of the devil's battalion panicked, and only then did he realize that this Eighth Route Army really had the strength to wipe out his entire battalion.

I can't beat it, what should I do?
run away!

To put it nicely, "Tactical transfer immediately!"

The devil's front team soon became the rear team, and the rear team became the front team. The guards were in charge of cutting off the rear, and the entire Japanese brigade began to retreat.

The Japanese troops trained quickly, and they were still orderly when retreating.

At least at first it was orderly.

The roles of the two sides were reversed. Originally, the Japanese army was chasing the Fifth Regiment all the way, but at this moment, the Fifth Regiment was chasing and killing the Japanese Army Brigade in turn.

Seeing that the vengeance was about to be avenged, the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were furious and chased after each other, firing continuously at the retreating Japanese army.

Aware of the madness of the pursuing Eighth Route Army troops, the captain of the Devils was a little flustered.

"Baga, the guards block the Tuba Road's attack and cover the main force to evacuate!"

Then, the leader of the devil brigade who thought we couldn't fight, at least he could run, was stunned when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

Looking up, a cavalry unit appeared on the horizon not far away.

Damn me, the devil officers who saw this scene were a little terrified, how could these two legs run faster than four?

How could there be such an exaggerated troop of cavalry in the hands of this Tuba Road?
How can this run?
Head Feng quickly saw the mature cavalry tactics of the Independent Regiment.

Under the leadership of Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, the soldiers of the cavalry company finally found their own dazzling stage.

They rode horses and galloped 300 meters away from the flank of the retreating Japanese army. The soldiers rode rifles, leaned sideways, aimed at the guns, and shot on the galloping horses, still showing superb marksmanship .

What's even more exaggerated is that on some saddles, there are even triangular light machine gun mounts specially made by the Independent Regiment Repair Institute to supply the cavalry soldiers to shoot light machine guns on horseback while riding.

Soldiers in the Japanese army were shot down one after another.

After the soldiers of the cavalry company quickly rounded back to the side of the devils, they then built small artillery positions on the spot and bombarded the retreating Japanese army.

The key is the crushing momentum, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the rear is chasing all the way, and the Japanese troops have no intention of fighting at all.

Even if it is delayed for a moment by the chasing cavalry company, the tail of the Japanese army will be bitten by the main force of the fifth regiment.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army's orderly evacuation formation soon became unable to maintain, and the team began to appear chaotic...
