The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 198 Kong Jie's Fiction and Reality (Subscribe)
Major Ikuguchi and Major Hirosue were beaten by the fierce counterattack of the independent regiment.

Grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns, as if the ammunition was free, shot desperately at the attacking troops on the mountainside.

What surprised them most was the equipment level of the independent regiment. The number of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers was even more than that of their own two brigades. Is this still the eighth route army with backward equipment?

Judging from the strength of the troops, there are at least four battalions on the Xingling Highlands.

Didn't the captain say that the main force of the independent regiment is with them, and there are only some feint troops on the Xingling Highlands?How could the feint attack force have the strength of four battalions, and was equipped with no less than two brigades of light and heavy machine guns and grenades.

The two looked at each other, and both felt that this battle was not as simple as imagined.

He even had the idea of ​​retreating, and dared not continue to attack.

"Ikuguchi-kun, I think the joint captain's judgment is wrong... The main attack direction of the independent regiment is definitely not on his side. If we want to attack, we must be prepared to defend!" Major Hirosue frowned and said his latest judgment.

"In case the independent regiment takes advantage of the heavy casualties of our attacking troops and suddenly launches a counterattack, if they are not prepared for defense, they may be caught off guard and break out of the encirclement."

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

The resounding charge horn sounded suddenly on the Xingling Highland, hundreds of the Eighth Route Army rushed out of the highland like hungry wolves, and went straight to the attacking troops with their guns...

More than half of the attacking troops had suffered casualties, but they were not scared away. They were ready to fight with their rifles in a fearless posture.

The two captains nodded again and again.

The independent regiment launched a counterattack from the high ground. If the attacking troops did not stop them, they could follow the trend and directly attack the main force of the brigade at the foot of the mountain, catching them by surprise.

But the next scene frightened them silly.

The Eighth Route Army rushed to the front and fired while attacking, submachine guns, crooked handles, and constantly shooting bullets...

The attacking troops preparing to fight are like ripe wheat, and a large area is cut down in an instant...

Thirty or forty of the little devils who were originally not many were killed or injured.

The remaining [-] or [-] devils were drowned in the opposing crowd as soon as they came into contact with the counterattack force of the Independence Regiment...

"Comrades, go... make a hole and go out!" The first battalion commander Shen Quan shouted an order!
"The troops immediately turned to defense... All light and heavy machine guns were put into battle, and they fired immediately to block the independent regiment's breakout troops, and they must not be allowed to rush out of the encirclement!" Major Ikuguchi was the first to react from the shock.

"Everyone obeys Major Ikuguchi's orders... The troops immediately shifted from attack to defense, blocking the breakout troops of the Independent Regiment at all costs!" Major Hirosue came to his senses and gave orders in a hurry.

"Da da da... dong dong dong..."

The light and heavy machine guns mounted near the two captains fired first.

The sudden rain of bullets swept towards the counter-offensive troops of the Independent Regiment, and in just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

The light and heavy machine guns of the independent regiment on the top of the mountain immediately counterattacked...

The grenadier stared at the devil's heavy machine gun and exploded, unexpectedly suppressing the interception firepower of the Japanese army.

The devils had no choice but to counterattack with mortars and grenade launchers, staring at the counterattack troops of the Independent Regiment to blow up...

"Retreat... everyone retreats to the high ground!" Shen Quan ordered at the right time.

The counterattack just now was discussed in advance between him and Kong Jie. Through the counterattack, the little devils were further misled, making them feel that the independent regiment was attacking eastward and westward, and did not dare to attack Xingling Highland casually. will also be minimized.

Seeing that the devils began to attack the counterattack troops with mortars, in order to avoid casualties of the troops during the shelling, they resolutely stopped as soon as they were good.

But his purpose has been achieved.

The two captains were taken aback by the fierce counterattack just now, and they still have lingering fears, thinking that the real purpose of the independent regiment is to attack the east and west, and to break out of the encirclement, and the attack on the captain is just their false move.

Moreover, the two brigades have each lost an infantry squadron. The heavy loss has scared them away from attacking Xingling easily. While ordering the troops to reinforce the blockade and prepare for the next wave of attacks by the independent regiment, they sent someone to contact Colonel Matsushima , I hope he can switch from defense to offense as soon as possible to relieve the defensive pressure of their two teams.

"Rumble..."

The artillery fire of the independent regiment attacking Matsushima Colonel continues...

The artillery unit and the heavy machine gun unit have been completely submerged behind the artillery fire.

The assault company followed closely, using submachine guns and light machine guns to shoot and kill the little devils who survived the artillery fire, and the offensive was very fast.

During this process, shells also made mistakes and fell into the attacking troops of the assault company, but they advanced in a "three-three" offensive formation, and the formation was very scattered. The casualties caused by a few shells were almost negligible.

Under the protection of the guards, Colonel Matsushima kept pushing back...

"The third squadron established a defensive line on the spot, and must block the independent regiment's attacking troops here..." Commander Matsushima looked at his subordinates who had not been covered by artillery fire and ordered.

That's what they do too.

The machine gunners looked for all the commanding heights where they could hide to prepare for battle, and the riflemen scattered among the machine guns, quietly waiting for the arrival of the assault company.

In the end, there was a "rumbling..." explosion, and shells rained down on them, round after round, without end.

The riflemen lying on the ground, the machine gunners hiding behind rocks and mounds of earth... none of them could avoid the shell fragments flying overhead...

After being baptized by more than [-] shells, the third squadron with more than [-] people directly suffered more than [-]% casualties.

The remaining fifty or sixty devils were just about to raise their guns to fight back, but the rain of bullets from the assault company had already flown in front of them, pinning them down again, unable to raise their heads to fight back.

"Sir, the third squadron is finished... They don't have time to build a blocking position. The Eighth Route Army's offensive artillery fire is fierce, and the infantry is closely following the impact point. It is definitely not the opponent!" The team leader who followed beside him analyzed with a painful face.

"Why didn't Hirosue Brigade and Ikuchi Brigade attack the Xingling Highland?" The troops in front of them couldn't be counted on, Colonel Matsushima could only pin his hopes on the remaining two brigades, and asked anxiously.

"As long as their side starts to fight, the independent group will definitely mess up, and our defensive pressure will be much less!"

The team leader shook his head and said, "I don't even know about the humble job!"

"Just now there was a burst of gunfire from Xingling Highland, but it stopped soon. I don't know what Guangmo-kun and Shengkou-kun are doing?"

"They have two brigades, minus the heavy weapons right here, there are still twelve mortars and twelve heavy machine guns... All-out attack will definitely put tremendous pressure on the Eighth Route Army on Xingling!"

The more Mr. Matsushima thought about it, the more tempered he became.

As the captain of the alliance, he was attacked by the main force of the independent regiment, and he might die here at any time.

The two subordinates stayed by the side but did not rescue them. It is possible that they wanted to watch themselves being killed before they took over.

He clenched his fists and ordered angrily: "Send two more people over there to give orders!"

"The two brigades must launch an attack within five minutes, otherwise the military law will proceed!"

Before the captain could make arrangements, the communications troops sent by Major Ikuguchi and Hirosue happened to come over: "Your Excellency, Captain, our captain reported that the troops were violently attacked by the Independence Regiment and suffered heavy losses!"

"In order to prevent the independent regiment from breaking out of the encirclement, they have turned from defense to offense, blocking the independent regiment's breakout troops at all costs and preventing them from escaping Xingling!"

"Our captain also thinks that the independent regiment's attack on the follow-up troops is their tactic to attack the west, and the real goal is to cover the main force to break through!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, please turn the defense into an offense immediately, attack Xingling, and reduce the defensive pressure of the two brigades..."

"Otherwise the independent regiment will break out of the encirclement soon.

Master Matsushima became angry when he heard it: "Bageyalu, are they the captain of the regiment or I am the captain of the regiment? Not only did they disobey the order, but they even ordered me to come!"

"Can't I see that the Independence Corps is going all over the place?"

"A reinforced brigade is about to be eaten by them. How could the independent regiment attacking us be an empty soldier... They must have made a mistake!"

"Go back and tell your captain immediately!"

"The troops must attack the Xingling Highland immediately, without delaying for a minute, or they will be dealt with by military law...go and deliver my order now!"

The messengers personally experienced the counterattack of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment just now.

Although he doesn't have much command ability, he still has some basic judgment ability.

In his eyes, the independent regiment has fierce firepower and fierce offensive... The attack of the two brigades is tantamount to suicide.

Maybe the independent regiment is waiting on the Xingling Highlands for the two brigades to launch a strong attack!

They happened to use the blocking battle to consume a lot of the strength of the two brigades. After they were almost killed, they would counterattack and break through. They would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement and leave Xingling with the least cost.

Although the communications soldier had no right to question the order of the captain, he still decided to gamble on the safety of the two brigades.

Facing Matsushima's eyes that were about to burst into flames, he bit the bullet and reported: "Your Excellency, Captain, the main force of the independent regiment is really in the Xingling Highlands, and can break through at any time..."

"Just now we attacked the Xingling Highland once. In just a few minutes, the two brigades each lost a squadron, a large number of light and heavy machine guns!"

"The Eighth Route Army on the high ground is equipped with at least [-] heavy machine guns, [-] to [-] light machine guns, and [-] to [-] grenade launchers... Continuing to attack is no different from death!"

"The independent regiment took the opportunity to break through once. If everyone hadn't fought back desperately, they would have almost broken out!"

The communication soldier's report was like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming him down.

He dared to refute his opinion at the risk of being executed by himself, which showed that the situation facing the two brigades was really bad.

Could it be that his judgment was really wrong, and the independent group's attack on him was really a false move!

Once I change my mind, I will use my brain to find ways to get closer to this idea, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that what the other party said is right.

So far, the independent regiment has only one reinforced company and one cavalry company to attack its own troops. Could it be that their main force is really hidden in the Xingling Highlands, ready to go, looking for a chance to break through?
