The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

At one o'clock at noon, the Japanese and puppet troops reached the second blocking position of the assault battalion.

Colonel Ando gave full play to his superiority in artillery fire, concentrated six large-caliber mountain cannons, six large-caliber mortars, six field cannons, and two mountain cannons... and bombarded the blocking position for ten minutes before stopping.

Including the time spent on building the artillery positions, it took a full half an hour back and forth.

"The attacking troops began to attack... The artillery provided them with artillery cover at any time..." Colonel Ando said confidently.

In the last blocking battle, I caused the troops a lot of losses because I underestimated the enemy...

Gaining wisdom from a pitfall, this time to attack the blocking position, Ando Osamu used half of the artillery to attack the blocking position.

No matter how tenacious the opponent's fighting will is, they cannot withstand the artillery attack just now.

"Sir, the attacking force has gone... There seems to be no one in the blocking position!" The adjutant guessed boldly when he saw that the attacking force was already approaching the trench, but there was no gunfire from the blocking position.

"Boom boom boom..."

The attacking troops have already begun to send grenades to the blocking position, and the smoke permeating the position has just dissipated before being swallowed again by the smoke from the grenade explosion...

Until this time, there was still not a single gunshot from the blocking position, not even a grenade was thrown.

The attacking troops became crazy in an instant, thinking that there would be no accidents in the next attack. The soldiers rushed forward like chicken blood, wanting to be the first to rush into the blocking position.

"Da da da……"

Three light machine guns suddenly opened fire at a distance of [-] to [-] meters from them, and a dense rain of bullets swept towards them, killing the first dozen or so Japanese and puppet troops in an instant...

"Bageya Road is a bunker... There is a machine gun bunker of the Eighth Route Army in front... Everyone, get down quickly..." The leader of the devil squadron who led the team saw the three light machine guns gathered together and ordered loudly.

On the other hand, Colonel Ando looked surprised. He didn't expect that the fierce artillery fire just now hadn't completely destroyed the bunker. In shock, he immediately ordered the artillery to fire...

But the Eighth Route Army a few hundred meters away did not wait for them to fire. As soon as the attacking troops got down, the gunfire stopped.

If there were not a dozen or so corpses dumped in front of the dark fort, no one would have guessed that a massacre had just happened here...

Three ordinary mortars, three large-caliber mortars, and two field artillery fired for a minute before stopping.

The attacking force rushed into the blocking position and took down the smoky bunker.

"The regiment leader...reported by the attacking troops...still didn't find a single Eighth Route Army in the blocking position...not even a single corpse!" As soon as the adjutant received the battle report, he ran to Sergeant Ando to report.

"[-]% of the artillery holes built by the Eighth Route Army were destroyed by us... They must have been afraid that they would be buried in the artillery holes, so they gave up their positions and did not dare to stop us here!"

"Where's the Eighth Route Army in the bunker?" Colonel Ando asked with a serious expression on his face.
"Ran……"

"Before our shelling started, the enemy abandoned the bunker and retreated from the communication trench!"

Colonel Ando's face became more and more ugly. He stared at the adjutant and asked in a bad tone: "That means we wasted hundreds of shells just now, and even the Eighth Route Army didn't eliminate it!"

"No, it should be because of loneliness..."

"There wasn't even a single Eighth Route Army on the ground, but we dispatched so many artillery pieces and fought for a full ten minutes. If this incident gets out, the entire Ando United will be reduced to a laughing stock!"

Three hours later, General Ando was now in front of the third blocking position defended by the assault battalion.

With the help of binoculars, he can have a panoramic view of every plant and tree on the surface.

The result was the same as before, except for the empty trenches, Ando Dazuo didn't even see a person.

"Captain, why don't we do the same thing as before, first use artillery fire for ten minutes, and then infantry assault!" The adjutant saw Ando's hesitation, and decisively proposed the safest way of attack!
"Although it is a bit of a waste of shells, and it will take a lot of time...but if the Eighth Route Army is hiding in the position, a single artillery cover can kill [-]% of their troops. Compared with the infantry rushing forward and desperately, this method of attack is definitely the best. Cost-effective!"

Colonel Ando did not answer, but asked hesitantly: "What if the Eighth Route Army on the ground is the same as before, afraid that we will cover the position with heavy artillery, and has already retreated?"

"Then waste hundreds of shells..." the adjutant thought in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

Although he is only an adjutant, he also knows some general conditions of the mopping up troops in the middle!
Although the military department prepared ammunition supplies for them for [-] days, they were all calculated according to the needs of conventional operations, and the ammunition consumption rate was far from as fast as it is now!

If I continue to fight according to the method I proposed just now, and when I encounter the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, no matter whether there are people on it or not, hundreds of shells will hit me when I come up...

The mopping up troops in the middle used up one or two thousand shells a day.

No matter how much ammunition and supplies the troops carry, they cannot afford such profligacy.

And this fight has achieved almost no results.

On the frontal battlefield, one or two thousand shells hit the enemy. If the command is proper, it will be no problem to defeat a division.

The Ando United team fired one or two thousand shells here, but they didn't even hit Mao.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to any commander.

Now that he has already guessed the concerns of the captain, the adjutant will of course not insist on his proposal just now, and he thought for a while before answering the question of Ando Dazuo just now.

"The captain of the alliance is wise, the humble officer didn't think carefully just now, and almost missed a big deal!"

"Imperial artillery shells are not picked up. If there is no one in the position, we will use artillery fire to cover the blocking position when we come up. It will definitely waste a lot of shells!"

"How about we send dozens of puppet troops to launch a feint attack first, and then make a decision after investigating the situation!"

Colonel Ando couldn't think of any other way to break the situation, so he could only nod.

After a while, more than [-] puppet troops appeared on the battlefield.

With a gun in hand, he was very careful to kill towards the blocking position.

Seeing that the probing troops rushed [-] meters in front of the formation without receiving any blows, Colonel Ando felt more and more that the blocking position in front of him had also been abandoned by the Eighth Route Army.

"Boom boom boom..."

Dozens of grenades were thrown into the blocking position by the puppet army, taking advantage of the situation to speed up the assault, trying to take down the blocking position in one go.

"Da da da……"

The familiar sound of machine gun fire sounded again. Just like before, the three machine guns gathered together and fired at the puppet army in different directions at the same time...

The reaction of the puppet army was much slower than that of the devils, and they were rushing forward without any precautions.

The three tongues of fire are like three murderous sickles, instantly harvesting a lot of people.

Seeing this scene, Colonel Ando was not angry, but was very happy, feeling that he had seen through the arrangement of the Eighth Route Army.

The blocking position in front of him is similar to the previous blocking position.

The Eighth Route Army was worried that the anti-battery holes would be destroyed by heavy artillery, so they voluntarily abandoned their positions.

However, they were unwilling to retreat, so they left a few machine gun teams to attack the attacking troops with bunkers, and they retreated after hitting them, and made more money if they could get more benefits.

Immediately ordered: "The artillery immediately locked the bunker on the position...destroy him..."

"Arrange another infantry squadron to take down the blocking position!"

The captain of the alliance quickly added: "Should we arrange a company of the Imperial Association Army to cooperate with the attack!"

"Shut up..." Colonel Ando cursed angrily.

"The dark fort has been destroyed, do you think there will still be a living Eighth Route Army on the ground?"

"This is a credit to the lips. We don't have enough points for ourselves. How can we give it to the Imperial Association Army..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The shells with a howling sound quickly hit the bunker, and the moment the explosion sounded, the machine gun misfired. Apart from the explosion of the shells, no other sound could be heard in the entire blocking position.

In less than a minute, the mound where the dark fort was located was razed to the ground.

The little devil who touched the front seventy or eighty meters got up from the ground at the same time, and rushed towards the blocking position with a gun in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed forty to fifty meters away, each of them looked particularly fierce, afraid that the military exploits at hand would slip away from their mouths.

A series of "rumbling..." explosions suddenly rang in their ears. In the splashing flames, countless devil soldiers were blown up in the explosion like toys, and fell silent on the ground.

Many soldiers were directly blown over, fell to the ground and screamed...

The sound of explosions, screams, and shouts and curses from the officers soon became one...

"Rumble..."

The explosion continued, and more and more devils were killed and injured, but the living little devils still gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

They don't know where the grenades came from, but they can continue to live by simply rushing through the grenade interception net.

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

The familiar sound of machine gun fire rang out again. In addition to the three light machine guns, two more heavy machine guns fired this time.

Dazuo Ando thought that he had seen through the Eighth Route Army. When the heavy artillery fired, the Eighth Route Army in the bunker would definitely give up its position.

He didn't expect the opponent to catch him by surprise, and hid the troops in the bunkers and anti-battery holes that had not been bombarded.

The five light and heavy machine guns that were shooting were divided into two bunkers and fired in crossfire against the little devils' attacking troops.

Each of the dozens of soldiers hiding in the position distributed three grenades and threw them out as fast as possible. After throwing them, they quickly retreated under the cover of five light and heavy machine guns.

"Ba Geya Road, we have been fooled!"

As soon as the machine gun fired, Ando Dazuo realized that he had been fooled.

Seeing the attacking troops being killed like leeks, the heartache was worse than a knife pierced in the chest, so I hurriedly ordered.

"The offensive troops will withdraw immediately..."

"All the artillery fires and covers the blocking position. I want to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army on the position..."

"Hurry up, if you don't fire the guns, the Eighth Route Army will run away..."

Colonel Ando's reaction was fast enough, but the result waiting for him was still nothing.

The traffic trench connecting the blocking positions is the best way for troops to evacuate from the battlefield. Even if shells hit their heads, the blocking troops can still quickly retreat along the traffic trench.
