The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 692 The King of Slaughter Frightens the Japanese Invaders' Nightmare
As soon as the devils withdrew, the monk quickly gave the order to retreat, and the soldiers quickly moved to the second line of fortifications.

The devils who had just advanced were ambushed, and the front tanks that had been separated from the battlefield by the explosion, as well as the accompanying Japanese infantry, had been detected and basically wiped out.

There will no longer be any concerns about the artillery fire placed by the Japanese army.

Once this wave of Japanese troops retreats, the news will be passed to the rear of the Japanese army. With the artillery that has an absolute advantage in numbers, the devils will soon smash the shells.

Monk, Duan Peng, including Sun Chuanzhong, are veterans with rich combat experience, so they naturally understand this truth.

"Third platoon leader, leave a few steel helmets on the fortifications when you retreat." When the retreat order was issued, the monk explained an extra sentence.

"Hey!" The third platoon leader replied, he naturally knew what his company commander meant, he was going to pretend to be a fool.

soon.

After the repelled devil squad quickly retreated to the safe area, it immediately passed the news to the squadron headquarters in the rear.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the Pioneer Tank and the coordination team have all been killed. The Eighth Route has built fortifications relying on the terrain, and the firepower is extremely fierce!"

Kazuo Nakano was a little shocked in his heart, and then he was furious. A small team of imperial warriors plus a tank was defeated like this?

"Baga, notify the grenadier teams to immediately bombard the area where Balu is located!"

"Hi!" The devil's communicator responded quickly.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Kazuo Nakano's lack of command ability.

After all, the group of Eighth Routers he was facing at the moment was well-equipped and plentiful of ammunition, far surpassing the three-gunners and Eighth Routers he usually encountered.

The opponent has occupied a favorable terrain in the village, and has built fortifications in advance.

For Kazuo Nakano, in addition to bombarding with artillery, rashly sending troops forward would definitely step into the trap set by the Eighth Route Army.

In the firepower confrontation between the two sides, it is impossible for anyone to become the god overlooking the entire battlefield.

Therefore, there is basically no particularly disparate information gap between the two sides, relying on the predictions of the commanders of the two sides on the battle situation.

The monk and Sun Chuanzhong expected that the devils would immediately use artillery as soon as they retreated, so they quickly ordered the troops to retreat to the second-line fortifications.

After receiving the order from the vanguard, Kazuo Nakano immediately ordered the shelling. He wanted to fight the Eighth Route Army with speed.

boom -

The plowing artillery bombarded the area of ​​the first-line fortification houses where the soldiers were originally located for a long time.

Kazuo Nakano sent a forward observation post to scout the situation after the shelling.

During the shelling, the devil's forward observation post noticed from the telescope that only half of the steel helmet was hidden behind the fortification.

The devil thought that the Eighth Route Army hadn't retreated in time and was being bombarded by artillery fire, with a cruel smile on his face.

But then these little devils realized that something was wrong, they never saw the figure of Balu, and after the helmets were directly blown over, there was no other movement on the entire construction site except for the roar of artillery fire.

"Sir, the situation is not quite right. The enemy's fortifications have not seen half of the eight roads, and the enemy seems to have evacuated ahead of time!"

"Nani?"

Kazuo Nakano was stunned, and quickly issued an order to cease fire. The little devil who lacks resources can save shells if he can.

A round of bombardment did not achieve any results, and Kazuo Nakano was not in a hurry. He now felt the huge advantage that his side had over the enemy's Eighth Route Army.

First, judging from previous battles, the strength of the Eighth Route Army was not large, and the empire had an absolute advantage in strength.

Second, although the Eighth Route Army partially waited for work and took advantage of the terrain, in general, the Eighth Route Army was surrounded by front and rear attacks and besieged in Xiaoli Village.

Thirdly, although the equipment of the Eight Route Army is excellent, in terms of the total number of artillery and machine guns, it is not as good as the equipment assembled by the two imperial squadrons.

"Yaoxi, the striker stay alert, keep moving forward, and compress the living space of this group of Tubalu!" Kazuo Nakano gave the order.

Under the command of the leader of the devil squad, the dozen or so little devils in the vanguard opened up the skirmish line, leaning on the houses on both sides, and cautiously groped forward.

The monk and Sun Chuanzhong led the soldiers to retreat to the second-line fortifications, and joined Sun Daping who was defending the second-line fortifications.

In the previous battle, Sun Daping took most of the soldiers of the cavalry company and some soldiers of the guard company led by the monk, and was responsible for blocking the Japanese and puppet troops from advancing forward from the entrance of the village at the second-line fortifications.

"Old Sun, how is the situation?" Sun Chuanzhong asked after the two sides met.

Sun Daping shook his head and said helplessly: "The devil has made up his mind to encircle the village from the front and back. In addition, there are also troops deployed by the Japanese army on the left and right wings of the village."

"It's okay for us to rely on the village as a fortification to stop us in the village. Once we leave the village, we won't have any advantage in the open terrain."

"Just keep guarding these two lines of fortifications. Once the devils from the front and back villages surround us and we lose the fighting space, the situation will be bad."

The monk smiled, with a calm smile on his face.

"The blocking just now is just an appetizer, and the next one is the hard one."

"Company Commander Sun is right. We continue to guard these two lines of fortifications, just sitting and waiting to die. Right now, it is better to take advantage of the devils and puppet troops not encircling them, take the initiative to attack outside, and use the village environment to fight street battles."

Speaking of this, since the command right now belongs to him, the monk did not refuse, and immediately ordered:

"We have nearly 120 fighters. Next, we will break them into pieces and sneak into the house. Using the surrounding terrain, we will fight the devils in street fighting, curtain fighting, ambushes, and sneak attacks."

"However, single-player combat will inevitably lack support. In this way, we will form a group of three people, and the three groups will form a large group. When gradually spreading, ensure that the operation area roughly forms a triangle, and ensure that all directions are not attacked by the Japanese army."

"Duan Peng!"

"Have!"

"Our fighters have stronger firepower. Each group is divided into one fighter, and the Garand rifle is used as the group's main firepower."

"Yes!" Duan Peng replied.

"In addition, the King of Slaughter we brought over this time, one for each group, let's distribute them first."

"Come on!" Duan Peng said excitedly, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, let's teach the little devil a good lesson today."

Look at the steel plates with arcs that are quickly distributed to each group, or are connected to wires, or lead wires are pulled out.

Sun Chuanzhong and Sun Daping, as well as the soldiers of the 28th regiment, have never figured out what it is.

The monk's explanation is only one sentence: "This is a new type of landmine newly developed by our independent group, and it was developed by our group leader instructing the repairing equipment."

"As for the power, you will see it soon."

……

……

the other side.

as time flows.

On the base of the 28th Regiment, the cavalry company, together with the monk and Sun Chuanzhong, rushed to Xiaoli Village for reinforcements with the help of military motorcycles and bicycles, but Regimental Leader Lu always felt a little uneasy.

Head Lu, who has a keen military sense, believes after analysis that the situation in Xiaoli Village is definitely not that simple.

The devils dared to go deep into the guerrilla zone of the 28th Regiment and captured the people. Perhaps there was some trap in it.

The cavalry company, the monk, Duan Peng and the others rushed to reinforce them, and they might fall into the tricks of the devils.

Thinking of this, Captain Lu didn't dare to delay.

One is the cavalry company, which is the treasure of my 28th regiment.

Another monk and Duan Peng, as Lao Kong's right-hand man, came to Jizhong for reinforcements this time, helping to carry out anti-tank operations. If this fell into the hands of the devils.

What did Captain Lu explain to Kong Jie?

To be on the safe side, the head of the Lu regiment who didn't hesitate any longer quickly summoned the main force of the first battalion and the second battalion, and rushed to the direction of Xiaoli village for reinforcements.

Here I want to talk about the concentration of the 28th Regiment. When Ding Wei was the head of the regiment, the 28th Regiment expanded very quickly, and at its peak its strength increased to more than 3500 people.

It's just that such an overly rapid expansion has also brought about great disadvantages.

There are few guns in the regiment and there are many people, and two or three soldiers can't carry a gun.

Coupled with the fact that there are many recruits and few veterans, the combat effectiveness has not been formed at all.

Later, Ding Wei was transferred to the new regiment as the regiment leader, and the 28th regiment was raided by the Japanese army more than a dozen times.

Every anti-sweep is arduous and extraordinary, and sacrifices are naturally inevitable.

Today, there are only nearly 500 people left in the 28th Regiment, which originally consisted of more than 2000 people.

Of course, war is the cruelest sand washing machine. The [-] soldiers left behind have become veterans who survived the artillery fire. The speed of growth of the soldiers is not slow.

In addition, in the past six months, the 28th Regiment has cooperated with the Independent Regiment in various aspects, and both economically and military equipment have improved greatly.

Therefore, although the current strength of the 28th Regiment is much smaller than when it was at its peak, the overall combat effectiveness has improved a lot.

The soldiers hurriedly marched all the way to reinforce Xiaoli Village.

Not long after, they met Li Shengmin who was covering the transfer of the people on the way, and some soldiers from the cavalry company.

As soon as the two sides met, the soldiers of the cavalry company saw their regiment commander and gave a military salute. At that time, the circles of their eyes turned red:
"Regimental Commander, let's go and rescue the company commander and the second battalion commander! They stayed in the village to contain the devils in order to cover the transfer of the people. I'm afraid they are surrounded by devils in Xiaoli Village now!"

When Head Lu heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "How many devils are there?"

The soldier replied: "I don't know the details, but the Second Battalion Commander and the others analyzed that the devil must have ambushed near Xiaoli Village."

"Okay, I got it, you continue to cover the transfer of the people to the base area, and we will reinforce Xiaoli Village."

"Yes!"

The team set off on the journey again, and the speed of the march was a little faster under the urging of head Lu.

Monk and Duan Peng had only about forty people, and the cavalry company had only about seventy people, and the horses were all sent back now.

If the team of more than one hundred people really fell into the trap of the devils and was besieged in Lijia Village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Head Lu was not even sure whether the monks and Duan Peng could persist until he led troops to reinforce them.

"These bastards are making a fuss about the common people...Second Battalion Commander, Monk, Duan Peng, you have to hold on, I'll be there soon!"

Head Lu prayed in his heart.

……

……

In Xiaoli Village.

The two-line fortifications set up by the monk and Duan Peng to deal with the front village and the back village are not close, with a distance of 600 meters.

Within the distance of five to six hundred meters, the roads are criss-crossed and the houses are arranged in a chaotic manner. This is the alley war zone set up by the monk for the little devils.

For the two-line fortifications, the monk also sent several groups to harass the Japanese army to slow down the advancing speed of the Japanese army and buy time for the soldiers to arrange in the alley theater.

Somewhere in the village, a path connecting houses to houses.

Sun Qingshan, the leader of the third platoon, led two soldiers from the 28th Regiment behind him, forming a separate street fighting team, and set up landmines on a path that the devils were likely to pass by.

To be precise, it is to set the King of Slaughter-Directional Anti-Personnel Landmine developed by the Independent Regiment.

This path is sandwiched by two houses on the left and right, and there is an open space outside, and the path between the houses is two or three meters wide.

I saw that Platoon Leader Sun picked up the weird curved steel plate with both hands, and then held the left and right sides of the steel plate with both hands, and then, as if aiming when shooting, he aimed at the small raised center of the top of the steel plate. With the gap, he aimed his right eye towards the direction outside the road.

A squad leader of the 28th Regiment couldn't help asking, "Platoon Leader Sun, what are you doing?"

"Oh, you can see the gap on it, this is the sight of this Slaughter King."

"What's the use?"

"Are you literate?"

The squad leader nodded, "I know some simple words."

Sun Qingshan pointed to the four big characters written on the front of the King of Slaughter, and asked, "What do these four characters read?"

The squad leader read word by word: "This is facing... the enemy?"

Sun Qingshan nodded with a smile, while inserting the tripod under the King of Slaughter into the soil forcefully, he pointed the words "this is facing the enemy" at the road extending outside the house after aiming.

He also explained: "So these four words tell us that the direction of this face is the area where the enemy is killed.

What do you mean?The curved arc of this steel plate is directly facing this large area. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are little devils within 100 meters, they can kill as many as they appear. "

The squad leader laughed, and there was clearly suspicion in that smile.

Another soldier from the 28th regiment even shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Squad leader, have you ever heard of such a mine?"

The squad leader shook his head: "If it really has such power, it will be better than large-caliber shells. How can it be called a landmine?"

"So it's not called a mine, it's called the King of Slaughter!"

Sun Qingshan clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay, it's over!"

Squad Leader: "..."

It was the first time for the squad leader to see such a strange landmine, not to mention the strange shape itself, it didn't look like an ordinary landmine buried in the ground, on the contrary, it was inserted into the ground.

The key is still so ostentatiously placed in the middle of the path, once the little devil comes over, won't he see it at a glance?

"This... Platoon Leader Sun, the mine is placed here so brightly, didn't the devil see it at a glance?"

Sun Qingshan asked back: "If you were a little devil, would you think this thing is a landmine?"

The squad leader was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

This is true, this ordinary person thought it was a steel plate when they saw it!
But what the squad leader said made sense, Sun Qingshan thought about it, and then casually pulled some straw to cover the King of Slaughter.

As for the cables connected to the King of Slaughter and used for detonation, they were carefully buried in the soil on the side, and then extended all the way to the firewood room of the house.

Through the window of the woodshed, Sun Qingshan and the others could see the situation outside the road.

"This is the detonator, the one that used to control the explosive package buried in the ground and blow up the devil's tank?"

Looking at the detonator that Sun Qingshan had prepared, the squad leader asked with a look of surprise.

Sun Qingshan nodded with a smile.

This advanced way of detonating made the two monitors stunned, and suddenly they felt a little hopeful. Could it be that the power of this King of Slaughter is really as terrifying as Platoon Leader Sun said?
Other scattered small areas.

The monks divided nearly 40 groups, and the leader of each group was temporarily served by a soldier from the independent regiment.

Among them, 30 groups were assigned to the Slaughter King, and the group leader led the soldiers to carefully deploy the Slaughter King.

For the first time, the soldiers of the 28th Regiment were confused when they faced the new type of landmine called the King of Slaughter.

Even Sun Daping, commander of the cavalry company, and Sun Chuanzhong, commander of the second battalion, were no exception.

As for what this thing is, the soldiers of the Independence Regiment said it was mysterious.

Then wait and see!
Facing the two-line fortifications of Qiancun and Houcun, gunfire still rang out from time to time.

The devils were afraid of the various firepower methods displayed by the Eighth Route Army earlier, so they did not dare to move forward quickly.

Until the two sides clashed for a while, Kazuo Nakano, who was secretly observing from the rear, suddenly discovered that the firepower of the Eighth Route had weakened a lot, and the troops of the Eighth Route that appeared in sight seemed to have decreased a lot.

"what on earth is it?"

The devil's adjutant thought about it, and speculated: "Sir, could it be that the tunnels we destroyed were dug by the Eighth Road again, and they escaped through the passages in the village?"

When Kazuo Nakano heard it, it was not bad, how could a duck with its mouth full let it fly?

He quickly ordered artillery bombardment to cover the infantry and move forward quickly, making sure to eliminate the eight roads in the village in the shortest possible time.

In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops on the two fronts broke through the two fortifications and entered the alley battle zone prepared for them by the monk.

But Xiaoli Village is not too big, but it is not too small either.

In this alley war zone, there are more than 100 earth-stone or wood-stone houses scattered in random places.

In such a large area, it is not easy to hide a hundred and ten people.

Divided evenly, only one or two soldiers need to be hidden in a household consisting of three or four earthen houses.

This is playing peek-a-boo, and little devils can't find it easily.

The whole area suddenly became quiet, even the quiet Kazuo Nakano felt a little uneasy in his heart.

A second ago, there was still artillery fire, and all kinds of chaotic sounds were mixed together!

The next second, following the sudden ceasefire on the part of the Eighth Route Army and the ceasefire of the Japanese army, the whole Xiaoli Village was surprisingly quiet.

"These damn Eight Routes, what tricks are they playing? Each team advances separately, search carefully, keep in touch with each team, and beware of Eight Routes' sneak attacks."

"Hi!"

The little devils attacked from the front and back at the same time, and slowly searched forward.

The house where three rows of Changsong Qingshan and others lived was in the edge area, and a Japanese army team leader led seven or eight devils slowly approaching.

Soon, the path in front of the three platoon leaders appeared in the sight of several devils.

The King of Slaughter was just carelessly inserted in the middle of the road, covered with some straw.

The little devils kept vigilant around with their rifles, and it seemed that no one paid attention to the curved steel plate covered by straw.

That steel plate is like a piece of debris that fell from an armored vehicle or tank, it's inconspicuous.

Nearly.

Getting closer.

The devil squad leader was also very cautious. He landed at the rear and let the eight devils in front spread out and push forward, drawing out a roughly fan-shaped area.

They are now going to search the several earthen houses in front of them.

According to Kazuo Nakano's order, a blanket search was carried out to ensure that there was no Hachiro hiding in every house.

Just like that, when the first two devils were less than three meters away from the King of Slaughter who was covered by the straw, one devil suddenly let out a light sigh.

When the other devils heard the movement, they all looked at the King of Slaughter who was covered by the straw, but showed some metal-colored steel plates through the gap.

But it was obvious that the devil was not particularly wary, and seemed to be curious about what it was.

At this moment, the devils almost all faced the protruding front of the King of Slaughter, "this is facing the enemy".

Sun Qingshan lowered his voice and said, "Look carefully!"

Before the words fell, he pressed the detonator at the same time.

The current in the cable extends rapidly at the speed of light.

next moment……

boom -

The sound of the explosion was not violent, and it was not even comparable to the sound of the explosion of the [-] mortar shells.

Squeezing their heads in curiosity, the squad leader and the little soldier who looked through the wooden window at the area where the devil was outside the house were stunned on the spot.

Immediately, the expressions that emerged on their faces were shock, astonishment, and even fear, and finally revealed joy and excitement.

Warriors are not bloodthirsty executioners.

But if the target of the massacre is the aggressor who invaded his own motherland.

For the soldiers, killing the enemy to defend the motherland and beheading the Japanese invaders would not even bring much more guilt than killing a chicken or a duck.

Outside the earth house.

The squad leader and the little soldier finally understood the meaning of "facing the enemy this way".

The moment the explosion sounded, the entire curved steel plate shattered into fragments, and flew towards the area facing the raised surface at a terrifying speed.

Not only that, but the inside of the steel plate seems to be filled with a lot of anti-injury debris, iron nails, steel balls and the like.

The production process of these things is simple. The steel rails pulled from the devil's rails can be mass-produced by melting at high temperature.

In order to enhance the power of the Slaughter King, a new type of directional anti-personnel mine, the repair shop filled the inside of the steel plate with a large amount of anti-personnel debris, mainly steel balls, during production.

At this moment, it suddenly exploded, like a row of shotguns, hitting the oncoming devils.

A large number of steel balls, nails, and fragments were spilled like splashed ink.

That situation was shocking enough.

These little devils are really unlucky. Originally, the killing surface of the King of Slaughter is a fan-shaped surface that spreads outward.

These little devils just searched and moved forward in a fan shape, and because of curiosity, they turned their faces to the King of Slaughter.

With an explosion, the steel balls and iron nails flying out at high speed caught the devils off guard. A large number of sharp debris were even embedded directly on the faces of the devils looking towards the Slaughter King, on their eyeballs, cheeks, On the cheekbones, there are dense inlays, penetrating into the bone three points.

The eight devils who were searching ahead fell down with great pain.

He didn't die immediately, but gradually died in endless pain.

Their bodies writhed like maggots, and the pain on their faces caused their hands, which were also inlaid with some fragments, to scratch and grasp on their faces.

I can't wait to tear off the flesh on my face completely.

But because of the severe pain, he just trembled in wailing, desperate.

The leader of the devil squad in the rear was a little farther away, a distance of 30 meters, but he was still shot by steel balls, and five or six steel balls were inlaid on his body. Blood stains flowed down his body, soaking his clothes.

At this moment, for these little devils, what is more terrifying than death is the fear brought about by this unknown weapon.

They couldn't figure it out even to the death, that thing that looked like a steel plate hidden in the straw was some kind of goddamn weapon concocted by eight ways.

It was like a terrifying nightmare.

Extinguish until death!
