The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 231 Commander, we were fooled (second more)
The Chief of Staff of the Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters is reporting the latest information sent by the observation post to Shinozuka Yoshio.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Army that blocked the inner city has not made any movement... It has not been transferred or divided!"

"The Taiyuan Arsenal has been emptied by the Eighth Route Army, no more cars leave..."

"However, a large number of arsenal workers and their families gathered in the arsenal... It seems that they are going to leave Taiyuan with the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army really dare to think!" Yoshio Shinozuka said in a bad tone.

"Take away all the equipment and workers in the arsenal at once... As long as there are raw materials... the independent regiment can build up the arsenal when they return to the base area... What a plan!"

"But it's bound to be a sweet dream."

"When the independent regiment is blocked by the return troops, we can get back all the military equipment and those workers!"

There was also a smile on the chief of staff's face, obviously very confident in the commander's arrangement.

"Report Commander, Kishitani Nakasa has an urgent call!" A communications staff officer suddenly ran towards Yoshio Shinozuka with a very anxious expression on his face.

"They were attacked by the main force of the independent regiment, and the opponent was equipped with at least thirty mortars..."

"The Mortar Squadron and Mountain Artillery Squadron under the Kishitani Battalion have been wiped out, and the infantry has also suffered heavy casualties... Please encircle the troops and set off immediately, march to reinforce them, and after attacking the independent regiment, reduce their blocking pressure!"

Yoshio Shinozuka walked quickly to the sand table, and asked back with disbelief, "How is this possible!"

"The main force of the independent regiment is obviously still in the outer city of Taiyuan, how could it be possible to suddenly run more than [-] kilometers away to attack the Kishiya brigade..."

"Could it be that they have wings and can fly!"

The chief of staff quickly read the telegram handed over by the communications staff officer, and after confirming that there was no problem, he quickly walked to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Commander...the telegram is okay, it is indeed an urgent telegram from Kishitani Nakasa!"

"That is to say, the main force of the independent regiment has really arrived at Zhujiapo, which is defended by the Kishitani brigade... The independent regiment left in the outer city of Taiyuan is just a phantom soldier!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face darkened instantly, staring at the sand table and asking.

The chief of staff saw that the commander was on the verge of losing his temper and could explode at any time, so he hesitated for a while before he answered bravely, "It's probably true!"

"The Independent Regiment was afraid that we would follow and pursue them, so they couldn't concentrate their forces to attack the Kishitani Brigade. They deliberately left a small force to pretend to be the main force, surround the inner city, and deceive us!"

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't speak, but he already approved the chief of staff's analysis in his heart.

He punched the table first, and then ordered: "Contact the outflanking troops immediately... March quickly to reinforce the Kishitani brigade..."

"The speed must be fast, and you must dare to rush to the battlefield before the Zhujiapo defense line is breached, flank the independent regiment, and cooperate with the Kishiya brigade to encircle the independent regiment."

"Even if I can't wipe out the Independence Regiment, I will injure them in Zhujiapo!"

"After finishing speaking, he shifted his gaze to one of the captains under his command: "Mr. Zhongchuan, immediately gather half of the brigade's troops to fight out of the inner city of Taiyuan, raid the workers and their families who are evacuating Taiyuan, and drive them back to me!" "

"The Eighth Route Army wants to get the necessary equipment and workers to build an arsenal in one operation. Let's cut off their legs first!"

Shao Zuo Nakagawa was afraid that the cooked duck would fly from his mouth, so he took orders loudly before Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking: "Please rest assured, Commander, I am sure that a humble job will not be disgraceful!"

After speaking, he ran out of the war room.

Shinozuka Yoshio then followed, and gave orders as he walked: "Follow me to the top of the city!"

"I want to see with my own eyes that Mr. Zhongchuan regained the outer city of Taiyuan and drove back all the workers and ordinary people who wanted to follow the Eighth Route Army!"

Huang Yu was lying on the roof of a restaurant, holding his binoculars and observing the inner city without moving.

"Company commander, there is movement from the little devil on the top of the wall!" Zhong Chengjun on the side suddenly reminded.

"They're mobilizing troops!" Huang Yu shouted expectantly as he glanced in the direction of Zhong Chengjun's finger.

"Should already know the news that the regiment leader is attacking Zhujiapo!"

"Notify the troops to prepare for battle..."

"The outflanking troops must be well concealed. Before receiving a counterattack signal, no one can expose the target in advance."

"The artillery unit aims at the pre-fired target... After receiving the order to fire, each gun fires ten rounds rapidly, and shoots the shells out as fast as possible to beat the devils!"

"Luring the enemy troops to act according to the plan... After the devils leave the city, they will retreat after a little blocking!"

As soon as Shinozuka Yoshio climbed to the top of the inner city, the counterattack force led by Nakagawa Shaozuo began to attack the outer city.

More than [-] devils became the targets of the battle, and rushed out of the inner city to kill the independent regiment's blockade.

"Da da da... papa papa..."

There was only one crooked handle and more than a dozen rifles firing. The negligible blocking fire only killed three or four soldiers, and then they were suppressed by the heavy machine gun fire on the top of the city.

This scene made Yoshio Shinozuka even more certain that the main force of the independent regiment was gone in the outer city.

Order without hesitation: "Let the counter-offensive forces speed up the assault..."

"There is no longer the main force of the independent regiment in the outer city. Use the fastest speed to block those workers and civilians who want to escape!"

"Kill it..."

Leading an infantry squad, they killed more and more fiercely, breaking through the blockade of the Independent Regiment and entering the street in less than a minute.

From a distance, I saw more than a dozen Eighth Route Army retreating in embarrassment with guns in their hands.

The little devil was more confident, and he chased and killed him without hesitation with a gun in his hand.

Not to be outdone, the other little devils swarmed into the street.

Shao Zuo Zhongchuan was very cautious. Although the commander had concluded that there was no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the outer city, he still arranged two infantry squads to cover the attack on the two wings of the main force.

The only problem is that they need to climb over the wall, and the speed is much slower than the main force.

The main force had already advanced [-] meters along the street, and they only advanced a hundred meters, and they were still more than [-] meters away from the yard where the assault company was lurking...

According to their current assault speed, it should be impossible for the assault company to be exposed before Huang Yu launches a counterattack!

Directly in front of the devil's main attack force, two armored vehicles lined up on the street.

The street in front of them, that is, the street where the devils are attacking... was cleaned up by the assault company long ago, without a single bunker or obstacle...

As long as the armored vehicle starts to move, it can sweep the entire street in two or three minutes!

The nine mortars of the artillery battery were already aimed at the street where the Japanese army was assaulting.

Heavy machine guns with nine heavy machine guns are hidden in the houses on both sides of the street. As soon as the counterattack starts, they will rush into the yards on both sides of the street and attack the devils' counterattack forces from the flanks!

"Start the counterattack..." Huang Yu ordered suddenly.

The guards around him immediately fired a red flare into the sky.

"Turn on the lights, fire all the machine guns... kill..." the armored platoon leader saw the red signal flare and got into the armored vehicle and ordered.

The four beams of headlights immediately illuminated the street ahead, and the figure of the devil was clearly displayed in front of the armored vehicle.

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

The vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun fired at the same time, and a total of six tongues of flame instantly intertwined a fire net on the street. The dense bullets flew towards the devils like rain.

Rushing to the front of the dozens of devils is like hitting a wall of iron and steel, unable to move forward, and being swept to the ground one by one...

"Armored vehicles... there are armored vehicles blocking the way ahead, hide away..." a team leader shouted with fear on his face.

Before he could say the hidden word, a bullet hit the center of the mouth, his eyes immediately widened, and he fell on his back to the ground under the huge inertia brought by the bullet...

"Hurry up and hide... There are armored vehicles blocking the way ahead..." A squadron leader at the back realized that something was wrong, and ran to the yards on both sides of the street while giving orders, trying to hide in the yards!

Before he could run two steps, the explosion sound of "Boom..." rang in his ears.

The powerful shock wave knocked him down in an instant, and two pieces of shell fragments penetrated into his body at the same time, and there was no movement when he landed...

The nine shells fell neatly on the street as if they were lined up.

The street was unobstructed, there were no obstacles or bunkers, the rain of flying debris swept everything, the devils had nowhere to hide, and a large area was blown down in an instant...

"Rumble..."

The first round of bombardment has just ended, and the second round of shells has already followed...

On the towers of the inner city, Yoshio Shinozuka was very happy to see the counterattack force rushing forward for more than [-] meters in an instant.

Just when he felt that the victory was within his grasp, two armored vehicles appeared, and the counterattack force was blocked instantly, unable to move forward any further.

The Chief of Staff's reaction was even more exaggerated, his eyes widened quickly, and he shouted in horror: "Your Excellency, Commander, we have been fooled!"

"The armored vehicle is the treasure of the independent regiment, and it will definitely not be left behind!"

"There must be the main force of the independent regiment in the outer city. They pretended to attack the Kishitani brigade, making us mistakenly think that the outer city has no troops, and took the opportunity to set up an ambush to attack our counterattack force!"

"Shut up!" Yoshio Shinozuka scolded with a sullen face. He still insisted on his initial judgment and would not change his mind just because of the appearance of the two armored vehicles.

But soon this persistence turned into hesitation.

The counterattack force was hit by nine mortars simultaneously.

On the bare streets, the counter-offensive troops were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being killed and injured one by one!
In order to prevent the garrison in the inner city from chasing and killing them, the independent regiment is likely to leave the two armored vehicles behind to paralyze everyone.

Although the two armored vehicles are very important, they are not as safe as the dozens of vehicles in the arsenal.

Now that nine more mortars have been added, more than a hundred soldiers from the counter-offensive force were killed in an instant. No matter how you look at it, the Eighth Route Army left in the outer city of Taiyuan is the main force, not the false soldiers that everyone judged.

At this moment, another discovery by the chief of staff completely overturned Yoshio Shinozuka's previous judgment.

"Your Excellency, Commander... There are Eighth Route Army troops in the houses on both sides of the street, carrying a large number of heavy machine guns... They want to surround the counter-offensive forces on the street!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, an Eighth Route Army has flanked and outflanked the counterattack force..."

"The Eighth Route Army's appetite is too great. They want to wipe out our counter-offensive troops..."

"We must let them withdraw quickly, and they will not be able to withdraw any later!"

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
