The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Cover the entire blocking position with artillery fire..." The captain of the Zhongzuo looked at the captain of the Shaozuo and snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know how many shells will be consumed and how long it will take?"

"Do you think we have so many shells to waste?"

"Is there so much time to waste?"

"Although the casualties are a bit higher in a direct attack, it only takes a few shells and several times less time to take down the blocking position on the mountainside!"

Captain Shaozuo was speechless, so he could only accept the suggestion of Captain Zhongzuo and command the troops to continue the attack.

……

"Boom..." The explosion had been going on for almost five minutes, but it still didn't stop.

The gunpowder smoke from the bombing of the land temple blocking position was filled with smoke, everywhere there were orange fireballs flying into the sky, flying mud, stones, wooden boards, and thick smoke billowing into the sky...

In front of the blocking position, more than a hundred corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers were scattered scattered, which meant that the attack just now ended in a disastrous defeat for the Japanese army.

In order to ensure that the troops took down the Earth Temple in the next round of attack, the ruthless Lieutenant Miyamoto directly ordered two mortar squadrons to bombard the Earth Temple at the same time, when to flatten the opponent's blocking position and when to stop.

The front enemy headquarters of the Assault Battalion, facing the artillery cover of the devils, the atmosphere in the bunker was not as tense as expected. The deputy battalion commander Zhong Chengjun sighed while observing the battlefield.

"The little devil is such a prodigal, so many cannonballs, if only we left them... In the end, they were all blown up and wasted on our position!"

"Fortunately, the battalion commander asked us to temporarily repair the anti-blasting holes, otherwise as many people as we went up would be bombed!"

"Such a fierce artillery fire, only relying on a few trenches and a few machine gun bunkers, certainly can't last long!"

Huang Yu on the side suddenly interjected: "Let the Assault Company get ready for battle, the devils are starting to extend their artillery fire!"

"Remind Wei Dayong that you must wait for the devils to reach more than [-] meters in front of the formation before you can leave the artillery hole and enter the position. Prevent the Japanese army from using artillery fire to kill us all with carbine guns!"

"Casualties must be controlled during the battle. A company must stand guard for three hours before retreating... It's only been more than half an hour now, and the next battle will take a long time!"

As soon as the words fell, the shells fired by the devils began to fly towards the second line of defense.

Although the defensive position was filled with gunpowder, no shells continued to hit it.

"Boom boom boom... da da da..."

A new round of battle started soon, the second devils from two companies, the little devils from two squadrons, a total of more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops marched towards the first company...

A series of desperate attempts to block, but the devil's offensive firepower is too fierce.

Light and heavy machine guns, grenade grenades, pressing and hitting continuously.After a while, the firepower on the blocking position weakened. .

If a light machine gun fires within four or five seconds, it must move its position in time, otherwise it will be targeted by four or five grenade launchers, and there will be no possibility of escape for the gods.

Even the grenadier class is not vegetarian.

They did not choose to attack the Japanese light and heavy machine gun positions.

The devils were equipped with two heavy machine gun squadrons, equipped with twenty-four heavy machine guns. Even if they were lucky enough to destroy a few of them, they would not be able to change the situation of the company being suppressed. It would be better to take the opportunity to kill a few more devil infantry.

Without the protection of infantry, no matter how many light and heavy machine guns and artillery the devil has, they are just a pile of scrap iron, which will have no effect.

"Boom boom boom..."

The grenades kept exploding among the devils' attacking troops, and almost every explosion could take away one or two devils' lives...

But these casualties had little effect on the devils, and the troops continued to charge forward.

After a while, the distance between the two sides was shortened to fifty meters.

If the devils rushed forward another ten meters, they could throw grenades into the blocking position, take advantage of the chaos and rush into the blocking position, and use bayonets to fight a decisive battle with the company.

The devils had an absolute superiority in force, and they were better at bayonet fighting than the assault battalion. Even if the assault battalion was equipped with a large number of pistols, it could break the Japanese bayonet formation to a certain extent.

But if the Japanese army has a lot of troops, no amount of pistols can change the overall situation...

"Battalion Commander, the devil's attack is too fierce... the company has suffered heavy casualties, and the machine gun bunker must be used in advance, otherwise the position will be lost!" Zhong Chengjun reminded anxiously.

"Contact Wei Dayong immediately, and use half of the machine gun bunker first to repel this round of attack by the Japanese and puppet troops!" Huang Yu ordered in a deep voice.

Except for the time when he just crossed, Huang Yu rarely confronted the devils head-on to stop him like he is now.

He has always believed that offense is the best defense. Even if he receives a blocking mission, he will try his best to actively attack the enemy and use offense to repel the enemy instead of blindly defending.

This blocking battle is not going to work.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great, and the Earth Temple is the last favorable terrain to block Miyamoto's unit.

If they were to break through, the Miyamoto Alliance would be able to drive straight into Ping'an County as if entering no one's land, and the assault battalion would no longer be able to use the terrain to block them.

The time is also very limited. The assault battalion only has a few hours to prepare. They can only repair the blocking positions under their feet, and have no time to prepare other positions.

Instead, the assault battalion was forced to give up the sports warfare that they were good at, and fight against the devils in the blocking war that they were not good at.

Blocking warfare requires not only the terrain, but also the force and firepower.

In addition to the terrain advantages, the assault battalion's strength and firepower were no match for the devils.

In order to offset the devil's superiority in troops and firepower, Huang Yu could only find a way on the ground, digging holes for artillery defense, and building earth fortresses...

In Huang Yu's eyes, the earth fortress is the assault battalion's last trump card to block the Japanese and puppet attacks and severely defeat them, and it must not be exposed unless it is a last resort.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle started, Colonel Miyamoto used a powerful offensive to force out the Assault Battalion's killer.

Although the information said that the Miyamoto United did not carry heavy weapons in order to hurry, it was difficult for ordinary mortars to destroy the earth fortress.

Exposing the earthen fortress on the position in advance can't do anything to them.

But just in case, Huang Yu temporarily decided to use half of the earth fortress, and the remaining half of the earth fortress will continue to stand by...

"Boom boom boom... da da da..."

In less than half a minute, there were more than a dozen machine gun flames in the blocking position, and the offensive momentum of the Japanese and puppet troops was finally blocked.

But the devil is not reconciled to failure.

The grenadier immediately took aim at those fire points, and fired round after round, as if the ammunition was free...

But the result of the fixed-point attack surprised them.

In the past, the grenade launcher, which had been rivaled in the battle, was deflated in front of these firepower points, and it was useless...

Even if the grenade hits the fire point and explodes, the machine gun still doesn't mean to misfire.

Colonel Miyamoto was well-informed and exclaimed loudly at a glance: "The attacking troops will retreat immediately... The Eighth Route Army has built a bunker on the blocking position!"

"How is this possible!" A subordinate asked back with disbelief.

"The Eighth Route Army doesn't even have cement, so how can they build a dark fort... Sir, you must have made a mistake!"

Colonel Miyamoto shook his head and explained: "Cement is not the only way to build a dark fort..."

"As long as the terrain is suitable, a dark fort can be built with just logs..."

"I've heard of this kind of bunker in the station. Although it can't withstand heavy artillery and aircraft attacks, it can easily withstand mortar attacks!"

"This kind of bunker has appeared many times in the positions of the Eighth Route Army. They used the terrain to dig a two-meter-deep pit underground, opened several shooting holes around it, and then used sandbags, logs, and stones to reinforce the shooting holes..."

"The top of the pit was covered with logs, and then covered with half a meter of soil and sandbags..."

"Ordinary artillery shells hitting the bunker can only blow a hole in the surface soil, and can't hurt the Eighth Route Army hiding in the bunker..."

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army likes to hide this kind of earthen fortress the most. They suddenly joined the battle at a critical moment and dealt us a heavy blow, just like just now."

"The attacking troops don't understand this kind of bunker, and they will definitely suffer a big loss if they are caught off guard..."

While listening, the captain analyzed the shape of the bunker and its strength in his mind, and couldn't help but exclaimed after listening: "Sir, this is not a bunker...it's clearly a bunker..."

"It's okay to call it Tubao..." Mr. Miyamoto said indifferently.

"Anyway, this kind of earthen fortress can withstand mortar and grenadier attacks... The offensive troops continue to fight, there is no other meaning except to increase casualties, it is better to retreat!"

"Wait until we destroy those bunkers before launching a new round of attack!"

The team leader immediately suggested: "The humble officer immediately contact the aviation force...ask them to send a plane over to help us destroy the bunker!"

Colonel Miyamoto shook his head and said, "It's too slow to call for plane support!"

"Don't forget, in addition to the two mortar squadrons, we also brought half a medium mortar squadron..."

"Those mortars have a caliber of [-] mm, and their power is more than double that of ordinary mortars. They will definitely destroy those earthen fortresses!"

"Let the artillery set up those medium mortars and destroy all the bunkers... and then attack..."

The front enemy headquarters of the Assault Battalion saw the devils retreating in a panic, and there were more than a hundred corpses on the way to attack, Commander Zhong Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

"The little devils finally retreated... just a little bit, they broke through the entire position!"

Huang Yu was not as relaxed as Zhong Chengjun, and his expression was as serious as ever. As soon as the Japanese army retreated, he ordered Zhong Chengjun: "Contact Wei Dayong immediately to count the casualties. ..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As soon as the words fell, a piercing scream sounded in the air.

Huang Yu's face changed, and he quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

There was a burst of flames next to the No. [-] bunker, followed by billowing smoke... A second later, the violent explosion sound reached Huang Yu's ears.

Turning his head, he cursed at the subordinates behind him: "This is a heavy artillery... The infantry artillery and the mountain artillery shells are not so loud. The brigade brought heavy artillery... How did the reconnaissance troops bring the heavy artillery? None of them were found!"

Huang Yu rarely got angry in the assault battalion. If I remember correctly, this was the first time he got so angry.

Including Zhong Chengjun, everyone was confused by the scene in front of them, and they froze in place, not knowing how to answer.
