The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The devil's work efficiency was particularly high. As soon as the main force of the assault battalion withdrew from the position, the scream of field artillery shells across the sky sounded overhead.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The artillery shell fell from the sky and hit the open space less than [-] meters away from the blocking position. The black smoke rising into the sky was [-] to [-] meters high, which showed how powerful this shell was.

"This is the devil's test firing shells...Everyone, get ready for the shelling immediately..." Huang Yu's face flashed a solemn look, and he ordered seriously.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As soon as the front foot got into the anti-blasting hole of the headquarters, screams and explosions sounded behind him, and the anti-blasting hole under his feet trembled several times in the explosion.

"Rumble..."

From this moment on, the sound of explosions overhead has not stopped.

The soil on the roof of the anti-blasting tunnel also continued to fall during the explosion. If it were not supported by wooden boards, it might have collapsed on the spot...

Three minutes later, the killing of chickens was covered by heavy gunfire before it stopped.

"Battalion Commander, the little devils are starting to attack!" The observation post standing firm suddenly reminded at the entrance of the cave.

"Enter the position!" Huang Yu rushed out of the artillery hole first.

The command post was thirty or forty meters away from the strike position, and only a few shells exploded nearby, not hitting the command post.

Huang Yu glanced at the situation around him, then dived in, went straight to the observation port, and raised his binoculars to look at the position.

The gunpowder smoke that filled the battlefield hadn't dissipated, and Huang Yu couldn't see anything.

But you can feel that the situation there is not good.

A shell hit a distance of [-] meters from the command post, and the crater was more than one meter deep... Only shells with a caliber of more than [-] mm can have such power.

The blocking position is a purely civil fortification, and it must be like paper in front of this kind of shells, and it will be directly razed to the ground.

The Japanese and puppet troops attacked the position, more than one hundred second devils, nearly two hundred devils, lined up in three skirmish lines, and quickly approached the blocking position.

Looking at this stance, it is clear that they want to shorten the assault distance as much as possible while the blocking troops have not yet reacted from the rapid artillery fire.

Behind the attacking troops, there are at least ten heavy machine guns standing by, ready to join the battle at any time.

There are also many mortars with their barrels raised, ready to knock out the firepower points that intercept the attacking troops at any time.

"Clap clap clap..."

A series of rifle shots suddenly sounded from the blocking position.

The gunfire was sparse and chaotic, giving people the feeling that the blocking troops suffered heavy casualties.

Huang Yu's first feeling was the same, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

But soon realized that this was Wei Dayong showing weakness to the devil.

I left two rows of defensive positions, equipped with four crooked handles and four grenade launchers.

Before the shelling, the Devils specially confessed to Wei Dayong that the four machine gun teams had to separate to avoid the shelling.

Although the artillery raid just now was very fierce, and even a lot of heavy artillery was dispatched, it was impossible to kill all four machine gun teams...

The machine gun was not destroyed by the devils, but Wei Dayong did not use the machine gun to attack the devils. The only explanation is that he deliberately showed weakness.

The Japanese and puppet troops involved in the attack did not know that Wei Dayong was showing weakness.

In their eyes, heavy artillery is so powerful that no troops can survive it.

There were only twenty or thirty rifles firing sporadically in the blocking position, further proving their judgment.

Now that the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops have suffered heavy casualties, the next attack will definitely go smoothly. Whoever rushes fast will win the first victory in the anti-mopping up.

Stimulated by their military exploits, even the puppet army, who were usually not good at fighting in the field, went crazy.

One by one, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, they held their guns and rushed forward desperately.

I'm afraid that if I run a step too slowly, the first achievement will be taken away by others.

"Boom boom boom..." More than a dozen heavy machine guns that provided fire cover for the attacking troops suddenly joined the battle.

But the sound of gunfire on the blocking position was too sparse, and the heavy machine gun had no chance to lock the target at all, so they could only shoot aimlessly at the blocking position.

In this way, the gunfire on the blocking position seemed to be unaffected, and continued to shoot here and there, without any regularity.

There seems to be no threat, but careful observation reveals that the accuracy of these sporadic gunshots is particularly high.

Almost two or three shots fired and a puppet army fell down!

When the vanguard of the puppet army reached forty or fifty meters in front of the formation, more than [-] corpses of the puppet army had fallen on the way to attack.

It wasn't until this time that the gunpowder smoke pervading the battlefield dissipated a lot, and Huang Yu could finally see a series of blurred figures.

The tense nerves were instantly relieved.

There are more than [-] people in the first and second platoons in a row. Although the blocking position has been bombed into a mess, there are gaps and craters everywhere... At a glance, there are at least [-] figures moving on the position.

It means that although the two platoons had casualties in the artillery raid just now, they were not large.

But there was a problem that Huang Yu couldn't figure out all the time. The Japanese and puppet troops rushed under his nose, and there was still no machine gun team in the blocking position.

"Rumble..."

All kinds of grenades flew out of the position as if they didn't need money. In the blink of an eye, the position [-] meters in front of the formation was shrouded in smoke from the explosion. Fragments of the grenade were flying everywhere, forming a firepower belt here...

Many Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed in and never came out again.

There were also many lucky Japanese and puppet troops who rushed out of the firepower belt, and then took out grenades and grenades, ready to throw them into the blocking position with tit for tat.

The first and second platoons who quickly threw three rounds of grenades have already begun to retreat, but there are still many soldiers who are too far away from the traffic trenches and have not yet evacuated their positions.

The grenades and grenades thrown by the Japanese and puppet troops roared towards them, and the gunpowder smoke from the explosion instantly engulfed them...

"Hurry up and get out...I won't be able to leave any later!" Huang Yu couldn't help shouting with a worried look on his face.

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

At the critical moment, Huang Yu's light and heavy machine guns, which had never been found, suddenly joined the battle.

With two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns, the troops were divided into two machine gun bunkers, and they fired at the Japanese and puppet troops who were close at hand.

The two bunkers are located [-] meters behind the position, and they look like a mound from a distance. Each bunker has three shooting holes, and the rain of bullets formed crossfire, frantically strafing the Japanese and puppet troops who crossed the grenade interception net.

"Boom..."

Two explosions sounded in the middle of the attacking troops at the same time. I don't know if it was a blind cat that killed the mouse, or the shooting accuracy of the grenadier was really high. The two grenades hit the devil soldiers, and the five little devils fell to the ground.

The Japanese and puppet troops charging at the front of the team were directly hit head-on, like a piece of ripe wheat, cut down by crossfire in an instant...

Once these Japanese and puppet troops died, the Japanese and puppet troops behind were unable to throw grenades into the blocking position because the distance was too far.

The danger faced by the first and second platoons disappeared in an instant, and the wounded and the remains of the sacrificed soldiers were carried away, and they calmly evacuated the position.

"Boom boom boom..."

The devil was obviously unwilling to fail, and he didn't want the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops to slip away from under his nose.

Seeing five machine gun fire points suddenly appearing behind the position, the artillerymen and grenadiers who provided fire cover, like a group of hungry wolves smelling blood, fired at them one after another...

To their surprise, the five machine gun bunkers were like an invincible Xiaoqiang. No matter how dense the shells fired by the mortar were, the five light and heavy machine guns still fired tenaciously without being affected at all.

"Rumble..."

A more violent explosion suddenly sounded near the bunker, five light and heavy machine guns misfired at the same time, and then there was no counterattack gunfire from the blocking position, only the explosion of shells fired by the Japanese army.

"We are also withdrawing..." Seeing this, Huang Yu was very satisfied with the order, picked up the binoculars, got out of the command post, and went straight to the next blocking position.

Two minutes later, the sound of artillery on the blocking position also stopped, and the attacking troops took it down easily as if they were in no one's land.

Looking at the corpses of the soldiers who fell on the road to attack, Ando Colonel couldn't laugh at all.

I have used a sledgehammer to kill chickens, and the Eighth Route Army on the blocking position is still tenaciously alive, and has caused heavy damage to the attacking troops...

This is definitely the most tenacious Chinese army that Ando has encountered so far.

Reminiscent of the losses caused to the troops by the previous mine warfare, Ando Dazuo decisively added the word "most cunning" after the most tenacious.

The opponents are both cunning and tenacious...the combat power is surprisingly high, and the light equipment is no worse than that of the imperial army. It forced General Ando to put up all his energy to deal with them, and he became more and more worried about the next big raid.

"Sir...the attacking troops report...they didn't find a corpse of the Eighth Route Army on the ground..." the adjutant reported solemnly.

"The situation on the ground is similar to the military report..."

"In addition to the blocking positions that we saw with our eyes, the Eighth Route Army also built a large number of anti-gun holes and machine gun bunkers on the positions..."

"The bombardment assault destroyed four bomb defense holes and two machine gun bunkers, leaving more than a dozen bomb defense holes and two machine gun bunkers to survive!"

"The five light and heavy machine guns that suddenly joined the battle just now are all hidden in the remaining two machine gun bunkers!"

"During the second round of artillery raids, we completely destroyed the remaining two machine gun bunkers, but the Eighth Route Army hiding inside has retreated from the traffic trench..."

Colonel Ando was in a very bad mood. He was like a powder keg that could erupt at any time. He clenched his fists and asked with a grim face, "What about the casualties? How many troops did the attacking troops lose in total?"

"105 people were killed in battle... 18 people were seriously injured... including 36 imperial troops..." the adjutant reported with his head down.

After hearing this, Colonel Ando became even angrier, but he still suppressed the rising anger in his heart, and ordered with a calm face: "We still underestimate the enemy!"

"The independent regiment's will to resist is stronger than we imagined!"

"Next time we encounter this kind of blocking position... the coverage time of the first round of artillery fire must be doubled, and the number of artillery participating in the battle must also be doubled..."

"If conditions permit, it's best to call for aircraft support and place a few aerial bombs on the blocking position!"

"No matter how strong the anti-blasting holes built by Balu are pure civil engineering, they will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of aerial bombs!"

"Without the bomb defense holes and machine gun bunkers, I think the Eighth Route Army still has nothing to resist our attack!"

On the way of the assault battalion's retreat, Wei Dayong rushed all the way to catch up with Huang Yu: "Report to the battalion commander, the assault company has successfully completed the blocking mission..."

"I checked with my own eyes. In the previous battle, we killed at least a hundred Japanese and puppet troops!"

"It should be more than that!" Huang Yu said with satisfaction.

"You kid concentrated all the light machine guns in the bunker to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. The distance between the two sides is so close, it's like shooting a target. You can kill twenty or thirty Japanese and puppet troops in four or five seconds. This is a good move!"

"Not only did they destroy their attack momentum, but also made it impossible for the follow-up Japanese and puppet troops to throw grenades into the blocking positions, and also allowed the blocking troops to successfully evacuate from the positions...kill two birds with one stone..."

"By the way... the army casualties are not big..."

"In the next few days, only our assault battalion will block the sweeping troops in the middle... There are still [-] or [-] blocking positions to defend. If the casualties are too large, there will be no one to defend the positions behind!"

Wei Dayong hurriedly reported: "The battalion commander can rest assured...the casualties are all within controllable range!"

"A total of 17 soldiers were sacrificed, and five soldiers were seriously injured..."

"Half the infantry squad and a machine gun team were directly buried in the anti-bunker hole, and none of them were rescued..."

"Other fighters were killed and seriously injured in the follow-up firefight!"

"A casualty ratio of almost five to one, good fight!" The smile on Huang Yu's face became wider.

The military order he made in front of Kong Jie was to kill two thousand Japanese puppet troops. If the fight continued at this casualty ratio, the assault battalion would only need to pay four to five hundred people to complete the task.

But the good mood didn't last too long and was replaced by seriousness again, watching Wei Dayong remind!
"The army has won the battle. As the company commander, you really should celebrate it, but you must be happy if you are happy. You must not underestimate the enemy!"

"In the battle just now, the devils must have figured out your tactics. If you try to deal with them in the same way, it will be very difficult to achieve the results of the battle just now, and you may lose your troops!"

"When you're happy, let's think about how to fight the next blocking battle!"

"I don't make any demands on the results of the battle, but we must control the casualties within [-] people!"

Wei Dayong immediately put away the smile on his face, and replied with a serious face: "Don't worry, leader, I have already considered it when I retreated just now!"

"The reason why the Japanese army was able to run amok in our China and confront them everywhere is nothing more than the superiority of artillery fire!"

"Before I joined the Independence Regiment, I even saw the little devil's 150mm heavy artillery and was bombed. This time the Japanese army only brought 105mm mountain artillery. Compared with the 150mm howitzer, its power is not at the same level... "

"Speaking of artillery defense experience, among all the company and platoon leaders of the assault battalion, I claim to be the second, and no one dares to be the first!"

"In the next battle, the devils will definitely increase the number of artillery pieces and the bombardment time, and there will definitely be fewer artillery holes that can survive. I plan to give up this battle and only use machine gun bunkers to let the devils waste hundreds of heavy artillery shells... "

"The main force of the company directly withdrew to the third blocking position, and re-collected logs to reinforce the anti-blasting holes there, combined the virtual with the real, and dealt them with a severe meal there."

Huang Yu was fooled by Wei Dayong's surprise, but soon realized the beauty of this style of play...

According to inertial thinking, the devils will definitely increase their firepower output and storm the second blocking position.

Wei Dayong gave up the second blocking position by surprise, which would definitely confuse the devils!
