The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 176 Are They All Blind? (seeking subscription)
The captain who commanded the vanguard cavalry did not dare to continue the fight, and immediately called the troops to retreat and join the regiment captain.

The situation of Mr. Kuroki is not much better.

The light and heavy machine guns ambushing on both sides of the road can just hit the bullets on the road. As long as they stay in the pocket, no matter where they hide, they will not be able to hide from the rain of bullets flying in all directions.

At first, Colonel Kuroki didn't pay attention to the pocket array in front of him.

I feel that the terrain here is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry raids. The Eighth Route Army chooses to ambush itself here, which is almost like sending itself to death.

As long as the cavalry regiment can break through their pocket array with a counterattack, they can turn defeat into victory and eliminate them.

Less than half a minute after being attacked, he sent two cavalry squadrons to launch counterattacks against the Eighth Route Army on both sides.

It started off very well.

Although the Independent Regiment concentrates most of its heavy firepower here, the pocket array is too long, minus the light and heavy machine guns used to block the head and tail, and only one light and heavy machine gun can be allocated on an average of [-] to [-] meters on both sides of the road. The firepower can't stop the fast-attacking cavalry at all.

When they were about to enter the Eighth Route Army's ambush position, the dozen or so cavalrymen rushing to the front fell into the disguised horse trap like dumplings... Some cavalrymen in the back did not believe in evil, and planned to jump over on horseback, but they all fell into it. Trapped in a horse pit...

There are also some cavalry who think that the horse traps of the Eighth Route Army cannot be dug everywhere, and plan to go around to other places to continue the assault...

As a result, without exception, all of them were pierced into bloody holes by the barbs in the horse pit.

The horse trap was [-] to [-] meters away from the Eighth Route Army's ambush position, and the Mauser pistol could shoot the bullets over, but the devils were blocked on the other side of the horse trap and could not rush over.

The ambush troops did not miss such a good target shooting opportunity.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, submachine guns...and pistols took turns to fight, killing the devils' attacking troops, and they had to leave a lot of corpses and retreat in embarrassment.

Kuroki Dazuo's attack with great hopes was disintegrated by the independent regiment.

Unfortunately, just as the attacking force retreated back to the road, the remaining remnants of the vanguard just retreated.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has deployed at least [-] light and heavy machine guns in front, and there are horse traps blocking the way. No matter how hard we try, we will not be able to rush through!" the captain of the vanguard cavalry reported with a sad face.

"More than half of the four cavalry squadrons have been lost. I am afraid that there will be no one left if we continue to attack, so we can only retreat temporarily. Please, Your Excellency, the captain, avenge us!"

"Sir, there are horse traps on both sides of the road, and the horses can't jump over them... More than half of the two squadrons that participated in the counterattack just now lost more than half!" Another captain reported.

Mr. Kuroki did not answer with a sullen face, and quickly raised his binoculars to look around...

A huge pocket formation has been fully displayed in front of his eyes, and there is a ring-shaped horse pit in front of the pocket formation, which made him amazed again and again.

"Bageya Road, when did the Eighth Route Army build such a large fortification group here, we have not received any news, it's too scary!"

The captain who spoke just now looked more and more serious, and replied with a frown: "Such a large fortification group will take five or six days to complete even if [-] people from the Eighth Route are dispatched. Are our reconnaissance troops and aerial reconnaissance blind? Didn't find anything!"

"Sir, the fortifications here are obviously aimed at our cavalry regiment, otherwise the Eighth Route Army wouldn't bother digging so many horse traps..."

"We are completely within the range of their firepower, we must leave here immediately, otherwise they can wipe us all with light and heavy machine guns!"

"Stop talking such useless nonsense!" Mr. Kuroki spoke again.

"The front team changed to the rear team, concentrate our forces to break through from behind us, and use the fastest speed to break out of the pocket formation, otherwise all of us will die here."

"Boom..." The sound of horseshoes reverberated across the battlefield again, and Colonel Kuroki dispatched a brigade to attack at once.

The mighty cavalry is like an unstoppable torrent, straight into the entrance of the pocket formation.

"Fire...all the machine guns are fired..." Duan Yong, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, guarded here to seal his mouth. As soon as the devil rushed two hundred meters away, he gave the order to shoot.

Nearly twenty light and heavy machine guns fired an airtight bullet net at the same time.

The first two rows of cavalry were like ripe wheat, instantly cut down to the ground.

These few casualties did not affect the determination of the Japanese army to continue to charge forward, brandishing their sabers and continuing to move forward screaming.

But the rain of bullets was too dense, no matter how brave the devil was, every step forward would have to pay a huge price.

After finally advancing to the position of [-] or [-] meters in front of the formation, more than half of the three cavalry squadrons had suffered casualties, and more than [-] cavalry remained to continue to charge forward, and they still had no intention of stopping.

"Squad of guards, all fire..." Duan Yong ordered while firing. This is his trump card, which is specially reserved for turning defeat into victory at critical moments.

The ten submachine gunners who had been standing by for a long time pulled the trigger decisively.

In close-range firefights, submachine guns are no less powerful than light machine guns.

Ten submachine guns suddenly joined the battle, equivalent to a sudden increase in the blocking firepower of the guard battalion by half...

The advance speed of the devil cavalry became slower than before, but the casualties became larger and larger...

When the two sides were still fifty meters apart, there were only thirty or forty cavalrymen left in the three cavalry squadrons, and they were still struggling...

Mr. Kuroki was startled by the scene in front of him.

With three cavalry squadrons, it is no problem to defeat an enemy regiment on the frontal battlefield.

I was trapped here today, and I was killed without even holding on for five minutes.

Looking at the more than [-] cavalry left beside him, the shocked expression on his face gradually turned into despair.

"Sir, although the Eighth Route Army has left a [-]-[-] meter wide breach, we have concentrated at least [-] light and heavy machine guns there... The firepower density is too high, no matter how many troops we have, we can't deploy it. Use refueling tactics, bit by bit, bite the bullet and charge forward, no amount of troops will be enough to kill them!" A subordinate explained the root cause of the failure of the attack just now.

Under the reminder of his subordinates, Mr. Kuroki quickly thought of another way.

Hope was rekindled on the face of despair, and he opened his mouth to order: "Judging from the attack just now, most of the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Eighth Route Army are concentrated at the entrance and exit of the pocket formation..."

"The Eighth Route Army ambushing us on both sides of the road is only equipped with light and heavy machine guns every few tens of meters. As long as we successfully cross the horse pit, the troops will be able to break through the Eighth Route Army's ambush position..."

"But the horse trap is too wide, and it's full of barbs, so the cavalry can't get through!" A squadron leader reminded! "

"Fill it up if you can't get through it!" Colonel Kuroki ordered murderously!
"Use the corpses of war horses to fill up the horse pit first, and if there is not enough, then use the corpses of soldiers to fill in three safe passages as quickly as possible... The troops were divided into three, and at the same time launched a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops, severely injuring them in one fell swoop, turning defeat into victory!"

Although Mrs. Kuroki's method is a bit ruthless, it is very useful...

After a while, several horse corpses were thrown into the horse pit, but the soldiers of the independent regiment on the opposite side were not vegetarians either.

Immediately raised his gun to fight back, preventing the devil from approaching the horse trap.

The captain of the squadron led by the devil was heartbroken, and directly ordered more than a dozen cavalrymen to launch a suicide attack.

"Regimental Commander, the devil wants to use his body to fill up the horse pit and open the passageway to break through..." The observation post reported to Kong Jie as soon as he saw this situation.

Kong Jie also saw this scene, and snorted coldly: "Fill the horse pit with corpses... You kid really dare to think about it, but I want to see how many lives are filled in it!"

"The reserve team immediately reinforces the battlefield and stops the Japanese army's breakout troops at all costs... Without my order, no one can let go of a devil cavalry!"

"Haven't the artillerymen been clamoring to go to war?"

"Now is the opportunity to concentrate all the mortars and bombard the place where the little devils gather, so that they can't fill up the horse trap..."

Seeing the horse pit being filled up little by little, the look of anticipation on Mrs. Kuroki's face became more and more intense...

Although the army lost dozens of cavalry for this, as long as the remaining cavalry can be brought back, the price is worth it.

Just when he ordered the troops to prepare for the assault, a series of "boom, boom, boom..." explosions suddenly sounded beside the horse trap. Several subordinates were blown up in the explosion, and the remaining cavalry had to disperse and retreat gunfire.

"Da da da……"

The Eighth Route Army guarding the other side of the horse trap suddenly increased their firepower, and the number of machine guns was doubled compared with the previous round of attack. A cavalryman who was about to commit suicide to fill the pit was killed before he rushed into the trap...

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of shell explosions continued, and several cavalrymen were blown over...

The rest of the cavalry became visibly flustered...

"Da da da……"

The gunfire from the blocking position also became more intensive, and they shot and killed the subordinates who were blocked by the horse pit...

"The Eighth Route Army has artillery, so we can't wait any longer. We must break through immediately, otherwise our casualties will increase!" Kuroki Dazuo hurriedly ordered...

Just two rounds of artillery fire killed most of the cavalry squadron. If the Eighth Route Army continued to bomb, the lost troops might be half a cavalry squadron, or even a cavalry squadron.

The remaining strength of the cavalry regiment is less than three squadrons. If the loss continues, there will be no way to continue to break through...

He must take a gamble while he still has pawns in his hands...

"Sir, there is a section of the horse trap that we have filled up with corpses!" At a critical moment, a piece of good news reached Mr. Kuroki's ears.

Pulling out his saber, he pointed forward and ordered: "Everyone breaks out from the filled-up horse pit, and fights out at all costs...Kill me..."

At the same time, Kong Jie discovered the direction of the devil's breakout, frowned and ordered: "Notify the artillery, concentrate all the mortars and bombard the horse trap filled by the devil, and prevent them from breaking out!"

"The reserve team speeds up the reinforcements, we must assist the Fourth Battalion to block the little devils!"

"The cavalry company will kill them together. If there are devils sticking out of the pocket formation, kill them at any cost..."

"Kill it... boom boom boom..."

The rest of the devils went crazy, wielding their sabers, and rushed forward desperately.

Cannonballs hit them continuously, overturning cavalrymen one after another...

The ground was already full of corpses of ghosts and war horses, but they still had no intention of stopping, stepping on the corpses of their former comrades-in-arms and continuing to move forward.

"Shoot... Everyone shoots... Be sure to stop the devils, reinforcements will be here soon!" Guan Shanbei, the commander of the [-]th Battalion and [-]th Company, was shooting at the devils at his fastest rate of fire, shouting loudly, very anxious.
