The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 124 Raid on Yangquan (Subscribe)

Seeing the sudden artillery attack in front of him, Sashin Harada suddenly raised his throat, very nervous, for fear that something might go wrong with the next attack.

Major General Gong Ze, the head of the brigade, gave him a death order, and he must attack and break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.

In case of any accident, his impression in his heart will definitely be greatly reduced.

As soon as the first round of artillery shells fired by the artillery company exploded, the counterattack order came out of his mouth: "The artillery squadron will counterattack immediately, and destroy the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible..."

"The infantry will continue to attack. We must take down the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in one assault. Without my order, no one can take a step back...Kill it..."

Everyone is selfish. For his own future, Harada Nakasa could only continue to increase the pressure, passing on the pressure brought by Major General Miyazawa to his subordinates, layer by layer, so as to have a chance to complete the task.

Harada Nakazuo was very fortunate that the sudden artillery attack stopped after only three rounds. The troops who had been frustrated in the attack no longer had any worries, and they went all the way like a broken bamboo, and finally broke into the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.

But the expected firefight scene did not appear.

The blocking position was empty, not even a bullet casing, let alone the Eighth Route Army...

Harada Nakazuo felt aggrieved and helpless as if he had punched cotton.

But in any case, the offensive task assigned to him by the brigade commander was finally completed.

He quickly ran back to report, but Major General Gong Ze didn't give him any good looks, he opened his mouth and began to curse: "Do you think you are very happy to win the Eighth Route Army blocking position... If you really think so, I will be very disappointed... ..."

"Two infantry squadrons, an artillery squadron, and a heavy machine gun squadron...five or six hundred people went to attack a company of the Eighth Route Army. In the end, they didn't even touch the Eighth Route Army, but they lost a small squad..."

"This result is simply a disgrace to our Fourth Mixed Brigade!"

"Do you really think that the blocking position was captured by us?"

"It's a big mistake. I can tell you with certainty that the blocking position was deliberately abandoned by the Eighth Route Army!"

"They were worried that the troops would suffer too many casualties under our artillery fire. Not only did they deliberately abandon their positions, but they also used artillery fire to attack and kill one of our infantry squads before retreating..."

"The most hateful thing is that we have been tricked. As a commander, you didn't notice anything. You are still complacent here, thinking that you have caused the offensive mission..."

"Idiot, how could I have such a mindless chief of staff like you!"

Cursing and scolding, Major General Gong Ze did not forget the important matter of reinforcing Li Jiapo, as soon as he vented his anger, he began to issue orders: "The troops urgently need to move forward, try to get back the time I wasted just now..."

"The military department has just sent a telegram that the Eighth Route Army has stepped up its offensive against the Yamazaki Brigade... Mountain artillery and infantry artillery have also been dispatched. The offensive firepower is very strong. The losses of the Yamazaki Brigade are increasing. It may not last for too long. We must kill them on time. Relieve them from the battlefield..."

"Battalion Commander, our artillery attack just now was too ruthless... We killed forty or fifty devils in just twenty shells... If every blocking position can kill two infantry squads in the next step, wait until the devils reach Lijiapo It would be great if only one of the three infantry brigades was left!" Huang Shengli witnessed the scene of the Japanese army being covered by artillery fire, and he recorded one of the Japanese soldiers being blown up by the shells. There were so many devils, it was an eye-opener for him.

Guan Dashan was not as optimistic as Huang Shengli, and cursed angrily: "Are you a fool when you are a little devil?"

"Eat a fall, gain a wisdom, no matter how stupid they are, it is impossible for them to stumble twice on the same problem..."

"But as long as we use our brains more, we can think of a quick way to deal with them!"

"Take your people and go to the eighth blocking position immediately. The devils will take seven or eight hours to kill at the fastest!"

"Continue to strengthen the fortifications when you arrive, and you can also modify the fortifications according to your own ideas. As long as you can block the devils with the least cost and kill more devils, you can fight as you want. I will not participate!"

In a valley three kilometers east of Yangquan City, the independent group that drove the mountain road for more than ten hours is resting here.

Several soldiers leaned together, held their guns, and fell asleep on the yellow thatch.

Kong Jie didn't feel sleepy at all.

As the head of the independent regiment and a middle-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army, it has always been commonplace to stay up late to command the battle.

In his military career, he has experienced two days and two nights without closing his eyes, and it is not a big deal if he does not sleep for more than ten hours.

Guarding the high ground at the entrance and exit of the valley, his eyes were fixed on the end of the mountain road, with a very anxious expression.

The reconnaissance company and the assault platoon had been out for almost two hours, and Yangquan County was only three kilometers away. Logically, they should have climbed back, but the two troops seemed to have disappeared, leaving the valley without a trace.

"Commander, Plato Leader Huang is smart. Nothing will happen to you. You can relax here and have a good rest. I'll watch for you. I'll call you when they come back!" Shen Quan knew what Kong Jie was worried about. Looking at him is very confident and comforting! "

Kong Jie shook his head and said, "If you don't finish this battle, I won't be able to sleep even if you put a bed here!"

"You go to rest... You are the main force to attack Yangquan, you must rest well to have the energy to fight!"

Ten minutes later, a few figures finally appeared at the end of the mountain road.

Kong Jie found Huang Yu and the investigation company commander at a glance.

Raising his legs, he ran towards the two of them: "How is the defense of Yangquan County, we are almost sure to take it down!"

"The security of the county is very strict! The whole Yangquan is blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" The investigation company commander replied.

"Platoon Leader Huang originally wanted to go to the city to have a look, but he gave up the idea of ​​going to the city in the middle of the investigation!"

"The devils and most of the puppet troops who stayed in Yangquan are on the top of the city!"

"There are more than thirty devils and two companies of puppet troops in each direction, and there are at most two companies of puppet troops and a dozen devils left in the city!"

"As long as we quickly break through the fortifications of Yangquan City, open a gap, and enter the county... the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the city are no match for us!"

"What do you think?" Kong Jie shifted his gaze to Huang Yu.

"The general idea is similar to that of Company Commander Li!" Huang Yu said.

"I will add one more... When attacking the city, in addition to the main attack direction, there must be troops in the other three directions to launch a feint attack..."

"Drag all the Japanese and puppet troops from the other three directions to the top of the city!"

"After the troops in the main attack direction entered the county, they were immediately divided into four..."

"The three troops headed towards the other three directions of the county seat, and cooperated with the feint attacking troops to attack from inside and outside, and wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city, preventing them from entering the city to make trouble, which is not easy to destroy!"

"The fourth unit went straight to the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade, and took down the arsenal and ammunition depot in the city with lightning speed, and guarded him!"

"After destroying all the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city, the troops will enter the city to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and completely take down Yangquan County!"

Huang Yu considered the issue very comprehensively. Kong Jie decided to accept it directly after thinking for a while, then turned his head and began to issue orders: "Notify all battalion and company commanders to come here for a meeting...the infantry and artillery platoon commander also called together."

The headquarters of the Japanese Army's [-]th Mixed Brigade, although the head of the brigade, Major General Miyazawa, was on a mission, but when it got dark, the place was still brightly lit! "

Nuoda's war room was empty, only the little devil's gendarmerie squadron leader and the puppet army commander were left together.

For the past ten hours or so, the two of them have stayed here, nervous, for fear that Yangquan would be attacked.

As a result, after waiting for so long, I didn't even see a shadow of the Eighth Route Army around the county town.

The two of them gradually became more relaxed, and the head of the puppet army personally arranged a banquet, and ate and drank with the gendarmerie squadron leader at the headquarters, having a good time.

The ammunition depot in Yangquan County is also the ammunition depot of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army. It stores half a year's combat supplies for the Fourth Brigade. There are more than three million rounds of bullets and thousands of shells. Many grenades, thousands of special grenades for grenades...

Before Major General Gong Ze sent troops to reinforce Li Jiapo, he had always regarded this place as a treasure, and there was a reinforcement team stationed there. Without his order, no one could come within [-] meters of the arsenal.

After the Fourth Mixed Brigade attacked, the troops defending the arsenal followed suit...

The defensive task can only be assigned to a unit of military police and a platoon of puppet troops.

A few hours ago, the captain of the gendarmerie squadron used the lack of troops as an excuse to transfer all the devils defending the arsenal, leaving only one platoon of the Royal Association Army.

After dark, the temperature began to drop, and the puppet troops defending the arsenal were all shivering from the cold, and huddled in the corner of the bunker to avoid the wind and keep warm.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city were even more uncomfortable.

It was extremely cold at the heights, and the whistling north wind blew on their faces like knives, making their cheeks flushed from the cold.

Most of the soldiers hid in the corner of the city wall to avoid the wind and keep warm, and a few puppet soldiers who had to be on duty stomped their feet coldly.

The puppet army with a sense of responsibility still glanced outside the city from time to time.

The irresponsible puppet soldiers wished they could tuck their heads into their uniforms without even looking outside the city.

In the south of Yangquan City, more than one hundred soldiers from the Fifth Company of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment followed the Tang soldiers and slowly approached the city.

The whistling north wind completely covered up the sound of their footsteps, and the troops did not show up until two hundred meters outside the city.

The four machine gun teams and the two grenadier teams each looked for positions and quietly set up their weapons.

The rifleman crouched on the ground, his rifle in his hand.Aim at the top of the city, waiting for the order to shoot...

Three flares flew up into the sky in a beautiful arc, and when they reached the highest point, they exploded, and three balls of dazzling white light flashed in the air...

"Start the attack..." Tang Bing, the fifth company commander, ordered at the same time.

"Da da da... ba ba ba... boom boom..."

Grenadiers, rifles, and join the fray at the same time.

Under the darkness of night, the flames from the light machine gun were particularly dazzling, and the bullets wrapped in the flames swished towards the city, interweaving into a relatively dense firepower net.

Several puppet army guard posts standing on the battlements were instantly smashed into a sieve, and they didn't even have a chance to squat down...

In the north of the city, in the west of the city, in the east of the city... At the same time, there was the sound of intensive firefights.

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade, the Gendarmerie Squadron Leader was already drunk and fell asleep on the table.

As soon as the gunshot rang out, the whole person seemed to have drunk sober soup, and instantly became sober, stood up from the wine table and ran to the war room...
