The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1180: Throw yourself into a trap? (Second update)

The execution ability of the little devil is very strong.

Although the puppet soldiers did not want to be cannon fodder, the Japanese pointed guns at their backs. If they did not follow the orders, they would be killed immediately.

If you follow their orders and become cannon fodder, you might still have a chance to survive.

Each one was like a walking zombie, being driven out of the stronghold by the Japanese.

Unfortunately, Feng Jiashan has rich combat experience. Even if he has not experienced this attack method ten times, he must have experienced it five or six times.

I know all the accidents that may happen on the battlefield.

As soon as the Japanese and puppet counterattack troops broke out of their stronghold, the dull sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out from the Eighth Route Army's offensive position.

"Boom boom boom..."

The six mortars were not idle either. The shells they fired seemed to have eyes, specially designed to bomb the little Japanese behind the puppet troops who were responsible for supervising the battle, and exploded a large area at a time.

There were dozens of light and heavy machine guns in front of them to intercept and fire, and six rounds of artillery shells were raining down overhead. The Japanese and puppet troops participating in the counterattack were unable to move forward less than 20 meters away from their stronghold.

More importantly, several soldiers were killed every second they stayed outside the stronghold.

"Sir..." The adjutant standing next to the squadron leader was very heartbroken and shouted anxiously.

"The Eighth Route Army's firepower is too fierce..."

"We must quickly withdraw the counterattack troops to their stronghold, otherwise all of them will die outside..."

The squadron leader was very unwilling.

Repelling the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops through counterattacks and destroying the offensive positions outside the stronghold were the only ways he could think of to break the situation.

As a result, this method was not only useless, but might also cost more than a hundred soldiers under his command. This was definitely a huge blow to the squadron leader.

Moreover, once this counterattack fails, it means that he will be helpless against the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops. He can only watch them destroy the bunker, destroy the gun towers, enter the stronghold, and capture the holding point...

More than half of the more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops participating in the counterattack had been killed and wounded. Seeing that the squadron leader had not given the order to retreat, the adjutant became even more anxious and suggested again: "Sir..."

"Get out..."

"It will be too late if we don't withdraw."

"Instead of letting them be massacred by the Eighth Route Army with light and heavy machine guns outside the stronghold, it is better to wait for the stronghold to be breached by the Eighth Route Army and let them rush forward to fight with bayonets. This way, at least two Eighth Route Army soldiers can support them before they die."

Reason finally defeated emotion at the last moment.

Although the squadron leader was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat..."

"The troops rely on their strongholds to wait for reinforcements."

"I will send a telegram to the commander of the regiment right now to request reinforcements."

"Even if the Eighth Route Army sets up its flying thunder cannons outside the stronghold, it will still take four or five hours to completely capture us."

"Fangshan County is only about 20 kilometers away from us. We can reach Xiashibao in four hours at most by marching urgently. We still have a chance."

…………

Fangshan County Japanese Army Regiment Headquarters.

The commander of the regiment, Colonel Ishikawa, was awakened from his sleep by the staff officer on duty.

He was in a very bad mood, and just as he was about to curse, the report from the on-duty staff officer was like a drop of cold water, waking him up instantly.

I put on my military uniform and ran towards the war room, very anxious.

"When did you receive the telegram?" the commander asked as he walked.

"Three minutes ago..." the staff officer on duty replied, following behind Colonel Ishikawa.

"Then it's still too late..." Colonel Ishikawa replied with a sigh of relief. "The telegram said that they can still hold on for more than four hours... The reinforcements set out from Fangshan and marched all the way. Under normal circumstances, they can reach Xiashibao in three and a half hours..."

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked the Shibao stronghold must have come from the guerrilla brigade in the mountains..."

"They have been hiding in the mountains for several months, and finally they are willing to show their faces!"

"I just didn't expect them to be so bold as to take action to capture the Shibao stronghold..."

"But this is fine..."

"We just happened to use the Shibao stronghold as bait to gather heavy troops to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army there..."

Having said this, the worried expression on Colonel Ishikawa's face was immediately replaced by excitement. He walked to the sand table and began to give orders: "Off the various garrison troops outside the city, there are still two infantry brigades and two regiments of the Imperial Alliance Army in the city. …”

"Notify the Second Infantry Brigade, the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army... to assemble immediately, replenish ammunition, and leave the city in fifteen minutes to reinforce Shibao and encircle and annihilate the Eighth Route Army there."

"I don't care what method they use, they must fight on the battlefield within four hours to join the battle."

The chief of staff of the wing came after hearing the news. While arranging the order given by the wing commander, he reminded: "Should we report this matter to the front army headquarters..."

"Your Majesty the Commander has always reminded us to pay attention to the Peiping guerrilla brigade, not to underestimate the enemy, seize every opportunity to eliminate them on the battlefield, and completely eliminate the hostile forces around Peiping."

"I've been looking for them for so long..."

"Finally showing up..."

Colonel Ishikawa shook his head and replied: "Don't report it yet..."

"The Xiashibao stronghold has been attacked by the guerrilla brigade and may be breached at any time. It is too embarrassing to report like this."

"If you want to report, you have to wait until the reinforcements arrive at the Xiashibao stronghold, eliminate the Eighth Route Army that besieged the Xiashibao stronghold, and then report back when you have a combat exploit that you can show off..."

The Chief of Staff knows that the Wing Commander is a very face-conscious person, and there is no difference between reporting this matter early or late. Is he bothered about this matter too much...

…………

On the battlefield of Nagagou Yu's ambush, two cavalrymen galloped along the road until they reached the innermost part of the pocket formation before stopping. Then they jumped off their horses and climbed towards the high ground.

At the only commanding height of the battlefield, Zhang Xuan was calling his men to gather around a hand-drawn map to make the last arrangements and mobilization before the battle.

"Captain... political commissar..." Two cavalrymen suddenly burst in, their faces flushed, and they gasped and reported.

"The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Fangshan sent troops..."

"A full infantry brigade, a regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army, and a mountain artillery squadron were also strengthened... Heavy weapons and ammunition were all transported by mules and horses, and they marched towards the lower stone castle in a hurry."

"It's still at most an hour and a half away from Nagamou Yu..."

Zhang Xuan laughed after hearing this: "Comrades..."

"The meal prepared by the Japanese and puppet troops is quite sumptuous..."

"But the opportunity cannot be missed..."

"No matter how many Japanese and puppet reinforcements there are, we will eat them..."

"Even if it's a pot of uncooked rice, I still have to bite the bullet and swallow it!"

Political commissar Li Wen suddenly reminded: "Captain..."

"We did not consider the Japanese mountain artillery squadron in our previous plan. Now that the reinforcements have been brought, we must consider it in advance..."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and replied: "The mountain artillery squadron sounds very powerful, but it is only good at attacking fortresses and is almost useless in this kind of close-range ambush battle. Just send a platoon from the guard company to deal with them and try to capture all four mountain cannons." , don’t be blown up by the Japanese and puppet troops..."
