The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 339 Kong Jie: Insufficient Greedy Snake Tunxiang (two chapters in one)

"Wait... Are you sure that the rear troops were really attacked by the two main battalions of the Eighth Route Army!" The adjutant started to panic, staring at the radio operator with a look of disbelief and asked back.

The radio operator had never been to the battlefield, and he didn't know the specific situation of the rear troops, so he could only report with his telegram: "That's what the telegram said!"

"I don't think they would lie about military information and deceive the officer on such a big matter!"

"The two sides are so close to each other, and the scouting team can find out everything after a little investigation!"

"The situation is wrong!" The adjutant retorted again.

"The Eighth Route Army standing in front of us has at least one battalion..."

"No, it should be two battalions... In the exchange of fire just now, they have already consumed a battalion's strength with our artillery fire. They can still hold their positions and repel the attacking troops, which means that there are still a large number of Eighth Route Army in the blocking position..."

"It is estimated that both of their battalions are missing!"

"The flank of the offensive position was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, with a strength of about one battalion..."

"The main force in the rear was attacked by four groups of the Eighth Route Army at the same time. Even if there is only one reinforced company in each place, there are still two main battalions in total."

"In addition to the two battalions besieging the rear, seven main battalions have appeared around us..."

"But intelligence shows that there are at most four battalions of the Eighth Route Army around us, including a cavalry battalion..."

"Where did the extra main camps come from!"

The sound of firefights from the battlefield could not be faked. After the adjutant's analysis, Ando's face became more and more serious, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and contact the rear troops..."

"Immediately break through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army and approach the main force..."

"The main force sent troops to support the rear troops at the same time. After the two troops converged, they immediately moved closer to the offensive position..."

"No matter what the conspiracy of the Independence Regiment is, how many Eighth Route Army are around us. As long as we gather all the troops together and form a group, no amount of Eighth Route Army can easily take us down!"

The adjutant glanced at the blockade that was once again covered in gunpowder smoke and suddenly asked: "Then shall we continue to attack Baipogou?"

"Of course!" Colonel Ando said without hesitation.

"Baipogou is the headquarters of the Independence Regiment. If we take Baipogou, we can not only boost the morale of the army, but also destroy the morale of the Independence Regiment. Kill two birds with one stone!"

"And the terrain under our feet is not suitable for defense!"

"If the independent regiment really wants to gather us and wipe them out, we should capture Baipogou and rely on the terrain there to wait for help, instead of hiding here and waiting to be wiped out by the enemy!"

"The artillery continued to cover the independent regiment's blocking position with artillery fire!"

"Find a way to organize an offensive force of [-] people, and increase the heavy machine guns and mortars that provide fire cover to a squadron. The next round of attack must break through the blocking position in front and take Baipogou!"

Colonel Ando gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists, which shows how determined he is to take down Baipogou.

The former enemy headquarters of the Independence Regiment heard the sound of firefights coming from several points along the road, and the army behind the devils was also besieged. Kong Jie finally let go of his hanging heart.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Li Wensheng running towards him with a smile.

"Regimental Commander, the [-]nd, [-]th, [-]th Battalion, and the [-]th Battalion... launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops on time, and all the troops are progressing smoothly!"

"Especially the Sixth Battalion. Comrade Huang Yu arranged for the third company, the artillery platoon, and the Feilei artillery platoon to support them..."

"Nearly a thousand troops, under the cover of eight mortars and six thunder cannons, broke through the Japanese and puppet security positions with just one attack, and entered their main position!"

"According to their current offensive rhythm, they can wipe out all the hundreds of Japanese puppet troops in half an hour at most!"

"What happened to the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops parked on the road?" Kong Jie was very happy, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked calmly.

"Divide troops to reinforce the troops under attack!" Li Wensheng replied.

Kong Jie immediately showed a skeptical expression, looked at Li Wensheng with disbelief and asked, "Didn't move closer to the offensive position? Or to reinforce the rear troops?"

Li Wensheng shook his head: "There is no movement in this regard for the time being!"

"Perhaps the Japanese and puppet troops were suddenly attacked, and their commanders haven't responded yet!"

"Or the Japanese and puppet troops on the highway haven't received the assembly order yet!"

Kong Jie replied: "No matter what the reason is, the later the Japanese and puppet troops on the highway gather, the easier it will be for us to divide and surround them!"

"Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff...the devils on the road have moved!" An observation post suddenly reported!

"Did you go to attack the position?" Kong Jie asked anxiously, and at the same time raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield.

"It seems to be going to meet the rear troops!" The observation post replied.

Kong Jie quickly found the Japanese and puppet troops who were gathering.

Among them, more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops have already started to act, holding various weapons, marching hurriedly to kill the rear troops.

Kong Jie's heart that had been suspended just now relaxed again, and he said with a happy face: "The heart is not enough to swallow the elephant... The little devil has made a stupid trick for himself!"

"Going to meet the rear troops now, wouldn't that create an opportunity for us to divide and surround them?"

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Li Wensheng: "Chief of Staff... It seems that God is on our side in today's decisive battle..."

"Go to the front line to supervise the battle immediately, let the [-]th Battalion step up their offensive, use the fastest speed to divide and surround the Japanese and puppet troops on the road, launch attacks at the same time, and fight with them!"

"When the Japanese army realizes the danger, they will definitely send planes to support them!"

"We must fight together with the enemy before the Japanese planes hit the battlefield, otherwise a large number of troops will die in the hands of the planes!"

"Regimental Commander, Chief of Staff... The Japanese and puppet troops on the offensive position also moved..." Another observation post reported.

"They seem to be continuing to attack the first battalion!"

Kong Jie raised his binoculars and looked at it for half a minute, then his eyes lit up and said, "God help me..."

"The opportunity for the Artillery Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion to raid the Devil's artillery position has come!"

"I ordered that after the Japanese puppet army's third round of attack on the blocking position began, the artillery battalion immediately covered the Japanese attacking position with artillery fire, and covered the cavalry battalion to raid the Japanese artillery position..."

"Tell Chen Daliang and Zhang Dashan!"

"The turning point of the decisive battle lies with them!"

"Taking down the Japanese artillery positions, our artillery fire will be able to dominate the entire battlefield, pressing down on the remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield!"

"The artillerymen must give full play to their training level... use the fiercest firepower to bombard the Japanese and puppet troops on the attacking position, and don't let them block the cavalry of the cavalry battalion!"

"The assault speed of the cavalry battalion must be fast enough. Don't worry about the Japanese and puppet troops in other places. At all costs, go straight to the devil's artillery position and take it down!"

"Contact Comrade Huang Yu immediately... The assault battalion immediately reinforces the cavalry battalion and the artillery battalion, and cooperates with them to occupy the devil's artillery position and defend the artillery position!"

"Notify the first battalion commander Shen Quan again!"

"We will raid the Japanese artillery positions and offensive positions when they launch their third round of attack!"

"The first battalion must not only hold the position, but also be ready to launch a counterattack against the Japanese and puppet troops at any time. Cooperate with the cavalry battalion, artillery battalion, and assault battalion to wipe out the attacking troops and take down their offensive positions!"

"As long as there is a good fight there, the Japanese and puppet troops in other places will be cleaned up!"

The Japanese and puppet troops attacked the position, and when they heard the sound of firefights behind them getting more and more intense, a bad premonition slowly flashed in the adjutant's mind.

However, Colonel Ando attacked the blocking position and was still very determined to take down Baipogou. As a subordinate, it was not good for the adjutant to pour cold water on the regimental captain at the last moment of the attack, so he could only temporarily suppress his inner anxiety.

"Start the attack..." Colonel Ando ordered with confidence.

After more than [-] days, the puppet army broke out of the offensive position, like a wave of waves, sweeping towards the blocking position.

Heavy machine gun squadrons and mortar squadrons, which provided covering fire, joined the battle at the same time.

Bullet rain and mortar shells replaced the heavy artillery shells just now, and continued to attack the blocking positions.

Seeing this scene, Colonel Ando became more confident in taking the blocking position.

Holding up the binoculars, his eyes never left the attacking troops, intending to watch them capture the blocking position with his own eyes.

"Sir...the troops in the rear are urgently calling..." the radio operator hurried over to report.

"They were suppressed by the Eighth Route Army on a road that was more than [-] meters long. More than half of the troops were killed or injured, and they were almost unable to hold on!"

His good mood was interrupted, and Colonel Ando was very upset. He frowned and asked, "Didn't I ask the main force to send people to meet them? Haven't the support troops broken through the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army yet?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

When the radio operator didn't know how to answer this question, a messenger ran over to make a rescue in time: "Sir..."

"The response troops were desperately blocked by the Eighth Route Army..."

"The opponent is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars... The troops suffered heavy casualties, and it is almost impossible to meet the rear troops!"

"Sir... something serious happened!" Another orderly ran over anxiously, his words were a little awkward.

"Two Eighth Route Armies attacked the road under the cover of artillery fire...the main force was divided into three by them..."

"The Eighth Route Army is building a defensive line in place, trying to separate us completely..."

The bad feeling in the adjutant's heart became stronger and stronger.

At the moment of crisis, he couldn't care whether his next words could be regarded as pouring cold water, so he looked at Ando and said.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to achieve a plot to divide us..."

"Otherwise, they can gather superior forces and firepower on the local battlefield to encircle and annihilate our divided troops, defeat each of them, and wipe us out bit by bit!"

Colonel Ando was not a fool. He saw the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy when he heard the words "divided and encircled."

"Notify the main force to come to me immediately, faster!"

"Before the Eighth Route Army's interspersed troops gain a firm foothold, launch an attack immediately... Kill them as quickly as possible and march towards me!"

"We continue to attack the blocking position...take it down as quickly as possible..."

"Then the whole army advances in a surprise attack, takes Baipogou, sets up a circular position there, and waits for help!"

"Immediately send a telegram to the military headquarters: Say that we are being attacked by the seven main battalions of the Eighth Route Army...Please move the left and right mopping up troops to move closer to us immediately!"

"At the same time, contact the air force, and ask them to rush to the battlefield immediately, and attack our Eighth Route Army from the air!"

It wasn't until this time that Ando Dazuo realized the danger and tried to report all the troops together.But his ultimate goal of fighting Baipogou has not changed, but Kong Jie is waiting for him to attack the blocking position.

The harder they attacked, the greater the chance that the Artillery Battalion and Cavalry Battalion of the Independent Regiment would successfully raid the heavy artillery positions.

Yoshio Shinozuka was standing in front of the sand table in the Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters, listening to the latest enemy briefing.

Every time his subordinates talked about mopping up the troops in the middle, his eyes lit up and he asked two questions casually.

Especially today.

Not surprisingly, in another two or three hours, the mopping up troops in the middle road will be able to take Baipogou and severely damage the independent regiment headquarters...

The strange thing is that in the current round of enemy briefings, the combat staff did not mention the mopping up troops in the middle.

Shinozuka Yoshio was particularly concerned about whether the troops could take down Baipogou, so he couldn't help asking, "Where did the raiding troops in the middle go?"

"I haven't received their telegram yet!" The staff officer replied.

"The last time we contacted them, they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army two kilometers southwest of Baipogou!"

"Almost an hour has passed. From the analysis of their offensive rhythm a few days ago, they should have broken through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army and are rushing to raid Baipogou!"

"Then wait!" Shinozuka Yoshio said readily, without any worries about the safety of the mopping up troops in the middle.

The intelligence collected by the military and the enemy's report all show that there are only three or four battalions of the Eighth Route Army around the central mopping up troops, with a total strength of no more than [-].

It is daytime again, and the central mopping forces can call for air support at any time.

No matter how you analyze it, there will be no accidents...

While Shinozuka Yoshio was waiting for Ando's good news, the communication staff officer suddenly rushed into the war room with a flustered expression, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that he had brought bad news.

Yoshio Shinozuka also noticed it, but he didn't connect the bad news with the mopping up troops in the middle.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the sweeping troops in the middle, no matter what accidents happen to other troops, it will not change the overall situation of the independent regiment.

Looking at the communications staff officer with a calm face, he asked, "What's the matter? How can you be so flustered? You're still a lieutenant!"

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander... something happened to the sweeping troops attacking Baipogou in the middle!" The lieutenant still reported with a flustered expression, because the news he brought was too shocking.

"They were besieged by the four main battalions of the Eighth Route Army, who were equipped with a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns!"

"The army in the rear is almost completely wiped out, and the main force of the mopping up army is in danger of being divided and surrounded by them!"

"Master Ando is commanding troops to break through the last blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, seize Baipogou, rely on the favorable terrain of Baipogou, and stand by for help!"

"Please ask the military department to contact the mopping-up troops on the left and right immediately, and ask them to consider Baipogou, form a larger encirclement circle around the Eighth Route Army, and gather and wipe out the Eighth Route Army that besieged them!"

"Is this impossible?" The communications officer had already delivered the telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio, and he still had a disbelieving expression on his face.

Not only him, but everyone else in the war room, including the chief of staff, was stunned by the bad news, and didn't react for a long time.
