The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 253 Shen Quan: Commander, the puppet army is crazy (first update)
"Rumble..."

Half an hour later, there was an explosion on the quiet battlefield.

Fireballs soared into the air inside the stronghold. Amidst the splashing flames, a bunker was instantly blown to pieces. The shattered bricks, stones... flew everywhere like a celestial maiden scattered flowers.

"Good fight..." Kong Jie said excitedly as he punched the sandbag in front of him.

"Let Shen Quan prepare for the assault... The artillery platoon will keep an eye on the stronghold. As soon as the devil's artillery unit is exposed, I will fight back and destroy the two mortars in the stronghold as quickly as possible..."

Inside the stronghold, Captain Yamaguchi was also taken aback by the sudden explosion, but his eyes quickly shot out two bright lights, and he said excitedly.

"The infantry artillery brought by the Eighth Route Army opened fire... The mortar unit immediately counterattacked and destroyed him..."

"The stronghold garrison is ready for battle..."

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely take advantage of the destroyed dark fort to attack the stronghold... They must be repelled, and the defense line will be re-established relying on the remaining gun towers and dark fort!"

"Ha Yi!" The second lieutenant standing by the side hurriedly took orders...

"Rumble..."

The infantry artillery continued to fire. As soon as the third bunker was destroyed, there was a sound of "bang tom..." firing from the stronghold, and two mortar shells accurately hit the infantry artillery position...

In the splashing fire, two sections of sandbag bunkers close to the impact point were blown down instantly, but all the fragments of the flying shells were pierced into the sandbags, unable to threaten the gunners hiding in the sandbag squares.

The infantry artillery covered with several marching quilts was intact, only some soil was smashed on the quilt, which was not affected at all.

"Rumble..."

The infantry artillery that escaped a blow continued to fire, ready to knock down the last machine gun bunker directly in front of them in one go.

Behind a bunker [-] meters away, dozens of gunners carefully selected by artillery company commander Zhang Dashan are quickly adjusting the angle of mortar firing, aiming at the Devils artillery unit.

After the infantry artillery squad was hit by five rounds of shells, Zhang Dashan was finally ready to counterattack, and he opened his mouth to order.

"Five rapid-fire shots from each gun... fire..."

On the roof of the central gun tower in the Liuzhuang stronghold, Captain Yamaguchi was holding up his binoculars, staring at the battlefield motionlessly.

Seeing that the infantry artillery position was quickly covered by artillery fire, his serious face immediately burst into joy, and he was very happy to order: "The infantry artillery equipped by the Eighth Route Army is finished..."

"Even if the mortar unit is targeted by the mortar unit of the Eighth Route Army, we can still rely on the remaining artillery towers and bunkers to hold our positions and repel them!"

"Boom boom boom..."

As soon as the voice fell, three explosions sounded not far from the gun tower, deafening.

Captain Yamaguchi was stunned, and wanted to slap himself twice...

It's too crowed, just said that the mortar unit was targeted by the Eighth Route Artillery, and they were hit by three shells.

Quickly turned around and looked over, the second round of shells had already fallen from the sky.

In the splashing flames, a mortar was directly blown to the side, and several gunners nearby were blown away at the same time, and fell to the ground without moving.

Captain Yamaguchi knew that the mortar unit was over, and was very heartbroken, but he quickly looked away from the mortar position, continued to stare at the Eighth Route Army outside the stronghold, and gave orders while watching!
"The four machine gun bunkers on the front have all been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army... Immediately activate the three bunkers on the second line of defense, and all the reserve teams will enter the position, blocking the Eighth Route Army's attack at all costs!"

"The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack...the machine guns are all fired..."

The sound of intensive firefights soon enveloped the battlefield, but the imagined bloody battle did not appear.

The Eighth Route Army participating in the attack retreated as soon as they were blocked, and did not continue to attack, as if they were waiting for something!
"Rumble..."

As soon as the long-lost explosion sounded, the doubts in Captain Yamaguchi's mind were solved, and he shouted in disbelief.

"Baga... How is this possible... Hasn't the infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army been destroyed? How can it still fire..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The second shell roared, and in the violent explosion, a machine gun bunker that was firing was instantly shattered.

"What's the mortar unit doing? They fired so many shells and failed to destroy the infantry artillery... What's the use of them!" Captain Yamaguchi was in a hurry, and he yelled at the second lieutenant beside him.

"What are you still doing in a daze, let the mortar unit counterattack immediately!"

"Report to the captain, the mortar unit was killed by the Eighth Route Army!" the second lieutenant said with a look of despair.

"Give up the dark fort..." Captain Yamaguchi thought of an impossible solution.

"All the troops withdrew from the bunker, and took the squad as a unit to find a favorable position to fight against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Unless we all die in battle, the Eighth Route Army will never take the Liuzhuang stronghold!"

Kong Jie was very happy. After the infantry artillery and mortar joined the battle, he knew Huang Yu's idea had succeeded as soon as the infantry fired.

Three minutes later, all the bunkers and gun towers blocking the Independence Regiment were blown into ruins.

Three heavy machine guns and more than a dozen grenadiers cover, and more than a hundred soldiers attack at the same time...

In Kong Jie's plan, there were only about a hundred devils in the Liuzhuang stronghold...

Killed a dozen or twenty in the artillery battle, but destroying the bunker and the gun tower just now can definitely kill thirty or forty...

With this calculation, there are at most fifty little devils left in the stronghold...

They are divided into four, defending the four directions of the stronghold respectively...

Even if most of the devils are concentrated in the main attack direction of the independent regiment, there will not be more than thirty little devils in front.

Kill them, and the rest of the puppet army will become headless chickens, completely lose the courage to continue fighting, and have to surrender to the independent regiment...

"Comrades... rush... tick tick... tick tick..."

The shouts of the attacking troops, the resounding charge horns, and the firing of light and heavy machine guns quickly echoed across the battlefield...

The attack went very smoothly. In less than two minutes, the commando rushed [-] to [-] meters away from the stronghold...

"Boom boom boom..." After the enemy and us threw dozens of grenades and grenades at each other, the commando charged under the smoke and finally entered the stronghold.

Seeing the follow-up attacking troops continuously entering the stronghold, Kong Jie's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he felt that the battle was won.

Although there was a small accident in the middle to destroy the Japanese mortar unit, it did not affect the overall situation, nor could it change the doomed result of the Japanese and puppet troops.

According to the usual practice: after the attacking troops enter the stronghold, first clean up the remaining little devils in the stronghold, and then they can force the puppet army to surrender and end the battle...

The sound of firefights in the stronghold should also become weaker and weaker, and disappear within a short time...

but it is not the truth.

The gunfire in the stronghold not only did not weaken, but became more and more intense...

"Da da da……"

A light machine gun suddenly appeared from the ruins, firing at the attacking troops...

The sudden rain of bullets killed three soldiers in an instant.

The light machine guns, submachine guns, and grenades that accompanied the team's attack... Although the opponent was knocked out at the first time, the sacrificed soldiers will never stand up again...

"Boom boom boom..."

Several grenades flew out from another ruin at the same time, and several soldiers were killed and injured...

"Fucking... how come there is such a strong resistance force in the stronghold!" Shen Quan became more and more annoyed as he beat him, and began to curse at people at the top of his voice!
"Battalion Commander, the enemies who attacked us just now seem to be puppet troops..." A company commander ran over to report.

The more I talked, the more I was shocked: "These Ergouzi are crazy. They open fire when they see our soldiers. They are not afraid of death at all. They are completely different from the Ergouzi we met before!"

"That's it!" Shen Quan replied with a frown!

"There are countless devils in the stronghold. If all the devils who attacked us just now were devils, we would have killed them all!"

"It turns out that Er Gouzi is helping the little devil to defend the stronghold, no wonder we can't finish killing it for so long!"

"Let everyone be careful..."

"If you find danger, use a grenade to explode... After the explosion, use light and heavy machine guns to shoot, and finally charge!"

"If you meet Er Gouzi again, give me a fire directly, don't show mercy...they are unkind first, then don't blame us for being unrighteous!"

"A bunch of traitors don't know what kind of ecstasy the devil gave them, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives for the devil, even their own lives!"

"The army continues to attack...I don't believe that I can't take this stronghold...Kill..."

Half an hour later, the sound of firefighting in the stronghold finally stopped, and Shen Quan came out covered in gunpowder smoke. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the stronghold, he met Kong Jie with a dignified face.

"Leader... We miscalculated!" Shen Quan's face was very serious, and he was embarrassed to report.

"The Ergouzi in the stronghold is completely different from the puppet army we encountered before... Even if we kill all the devils...they will not surrender and continue to fight with us until they are wiped out by us!"

"Among the two companies of Ergouzi, only 29 people were captured, and the other puppet troops were all wiped out by us!"

Kong Jie already knew a general idea, frowned and analyzed: "The puppet army will not give their lives to the devils for no reason. There must be reasons we don't know... We must find out from the prisoners as soon as possible!"

"If Er Gouzi in the few remaining strongholds is like the Liuzhuang stronghold, who is not afraid of death and would rather die than surrender, our tactics and tactics must be changed immediately!"

Shen Quan was ready to interrogate the captives after listening.

His mind is full of questions and puzzles, if he doesn't figure it out, he won't be able to sleep well at night.

But before he could move, he was called back by Kong Jie: "Don't worry..."

"Those prisoners can't escape, it doesn't matter if you are a few minutes late..."

"Tell me about the loss of troops first..."

"I thought we would be able to end the battle within five minutes of entering the stronghold...but you just fought for half an hour..."

"The veterans of the independent regiment are running out, and we can't afford to lose them!"

There was a flash of heartache on Shen Quan's face immediately, but he still answered bravely: "89 soldiers were sacrificed, 14 people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were slightly injured!"

"So big?" Kong Jie was so frightened that he almost lost his footing, and shouted with disbelief on his face.

Huang Yu was also taken aback. He turned his head and reminded Kong Jie: "Regimental Commander...the troops suffered too many casualties...we definitely can't afford such a battle!"

"I suggest that the troops clean up the battlefield immediately and withdraw to Baipogou..."

"First figure out why the puppet army is so desperate, figure out the reason for our heavy losses, and then decide whether to continue fighting!"
