The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 340 Rivalry (Part [-])
The sound of dead people and firefights cannot be faked. No matter how stupid Mr. Ando was, he would never lie to the military about such a big matter, which means that the content of the telegram is probably true.

The independent regiment has limited strength, and it is impossible to conjure troops out of thin air. It can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

The problem probably lies in the mopping up troops on the left and right sides. The independent regiment has been attacking them with guerrilla warfare and mine warfare, and has never fought a tough battle with them face to face. If they are well prepared, there is a chance to use a false soldier to pretend to be the main force to confuse them.

"The golden cicada escapes its shell..." Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly said these four words.

One word awakened the dreamer, and the chief of staff also reacted from the shock at this moment, and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you mean that the left and right mopping up troops were deceived by the Eighth Route Army?"

"The Eighth Route Army that stopped them was not the main force of the Independent Regiment!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded and said, "Perhaps the Eighth Route Army that the left and right mopping-up troops encountered from the very beginning was not the main force of the Independence Regiment!"

"Maybe what they encountered at the beginning was indeed the main force of the Independent Regiment. After fighting against each other, the Independent Regiment replaced those main forces with local troops..."

"In this way, the independent regiment will be able to gather enough troops to besiege our middle raid troops!"

"I'm more inclined to the latter!"

"If the Independence Regiment uses local troops to pretend to be the main force from the very beginning, no matter how well they perform, they will always show some flaws!"

"At the beginning, we used the main force to sneak attack and block us. After we confirm their identities, we will gradually replace the main force with local troops. The risk of exposure will be much smaller!"

"The battlefield is located in the base of the Independence Regiment. Our intelligence gathering capabilities are very poor, and we are not familiar with the terrain. The Independence Regiment is fully capable of moving one or two thousand people silently to tens of kilometers away!"

"I also support this judgment!" The more the chief of staff listened, the more he felt that the commander's analysis had a counterattack, and he said with a serious face: "The local troops managed by the independent regiment are very different from other local troops!"

"Although the combat power is not as good as the main force, the equipment is very good!"

"If you don't fight them face to face, it is really difficult to judge whether they are the main force or the local force through firepower!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at Yoshio Shinozuka and asked, "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Since it has been confirmed that the mopping forces in the middle road were besieged by the main force of the independent regiment, it is at stake! I suggest that the mopping up troops on the left and right should move closer to them immediately, form a larger encirclement around the mopping up troops in the middle road, attack from inside and outside, and eliminate all the Eighth Route Army attacking the mopping up troops in the middle road !"

Yoshio Shinozuka stared at the sand table and began to give orders: "Master Ando's decision is right!"

"The mopping up troops in the middle must go to Baipogou immediately and rely on the favorable terrain there to wait for help, otherwise they won't be able to hold on for too long!"

"Contact the air force immediately, and ask them to send twice as many planes to reinforce the sweeping troops in the middle, and cover them to defend Baipogou for a longer time!"

"The mopping-up troops on the left and right sides immediately turned to reinforce the mopping-up troops on the middle road, and wiped out all the Eighth Route Army active in Baipogou!"

"Let them immediately find out the specific identity of the Eighth Route Army around them, the more detailed the better!"

"Blockade troops must stick to their positions!"

"Now is the critical moment for us to fight the independent regiment. We must not let the new first regiment and the new second regiment join the battle!"

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

The attacking troops of the Japanese puppet army had already exchanged fire with the remnants of the first battalion. At this time, the first battalion had suffered more than half of its casualties, and lost more than [-]% of its light and heavy weapons.

Facing the overwhelming Japanese and puppet troops rushing over, the defensive pressure was very high.

Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops approaching the blocking position under the cover of powerful firepower, Shen Quan had no choice but to take the last reserve team of the battalion to reinforce the battlefield in person!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The scream of a string of shells across the sky suddenly sounded above everyone's heads, and when they looked up, they saw a lot of black smoke and flames rising from the Japanese attacking position, and many Japanese and puppet troops who were watching the battle were blown up.

"Rumble..."

A series of more violent explosions sounded at the same time without screaming, and the black smoke rising up was higher and thicker. It was obvious at first glance that the explosion power of this shell was great.

"Comrades... the main force of the regiment has started to counterattack, everyone hold on..." Shen Quan was happier than catching a life-saving straw in desperation, holding a [-] big cap, shooting and shouting, his face was full of smiles .

Ando's reaction was just the opposite.

The sudden artillery attack not only shattered his dream of taking Baipogou quickly, but also made him realize the huge crisis.

"Captain, there are at least ten artillery pieces that attacked us just now... Basically infantry artillery and mountain artillery pieces, and several large-caliber mortars..." The artillery staff officer shouted in disbelief as if frightened.

"The Artillery Unit of the Independent Regiment has taken action!" the adjutant analyzed calmly.

"Intel says they are equipped with seven or eight mountain cannons and infantry cannons..."

"The Independent Regiment definitely wants to hit us hard with artillery raids, cover the blocking troops to block our attack, and protect Baipogou!"

Colonel Ando analyzed with a sullen face: "I think the independent regiment not only wants to repel our attack and keep Baipogou, but also wants to wipe us out here..."

"The rear troops may be wiped out at any time, and the main force will be divided and surrounded by them... If the attacking troops on the battlefield are also repulsed by them and suffer heavy casualties, we will lose the strength to continue the offensive and can only be blocked by the independent regiment Here, break each one..."

"Large-caliber mountain artillery squadron, field artillery squadron, infantry artillery squadron... counterattack immediately, kill the artillery battalion of the independent regiment, and absolutely must not let them affect our offensive!"

"Rumble..."

The artillery raid of the artillery battalion continued, but all the shells were concentrated in one area.

Looking down from the air, this area looks like a safe passage leading directly to the Japanese artillery positions.

Colonel Ando only realized that the Independence Regiment wanted to use artillery raids to cover the blocking troops to repel his attacking troops, but he did not expect that another purpose of the artillery raids was his artillery positions!

By the time he reacted, the cavalry battalion had already reached the edge of the artillery coverage area under the cover of artillery fire.

The artillery shells that fell from the sky seemed to have eyes, and immediately split into two, extending the artillery fire to both sides, preventing the Japanese and puppet troops that were further away from coming to block the cavalry battalion.

The assault speed of the cavalry battalion has reached the extreme. The road ahead has just been blasted by more than a dozen artillery pieces. There are corpses and broken limbs of Japanese and puppet soldiers everywhere. Has no effect.

"Cavalry battalion...follow me...kill..."

More than two hundred cavalry, like a sharp arrow, quickly inserted into the Devil Artillery Battalion along the safe passage blasted out by the Artillery Battalion...

In less than twenty seconds, a dozen or so cavalrymen in the front had entered the artillery position, raised their knives, and killed the dozen or so devil gunners who rushed towards them.

Wield the saber and continue to kill other devils...

Seeing some devils trying to destroy the artillery with grenades, some soldiers immediately replaced their sabers with submachine guns, and pulled the trigger on those gunners...

This raid was much smoother than Earth Temple's raid on Japanese artillery positions.

In that raid battle, the cavalry unit did not have any support, and only relied on their speed advantage to force a surprise attack. The casualties were very high, and it took a lot of time on the road, resulting in the destruction of many artillery pieces.

In the raid just now, artillery fire opened the way, and the cavalry battalion entered the artillery position without encountering any threatening resistance!
The speed was so fast that the Japanese army didn't even have time to destroy the artillery. They were either hacked to death with a saber or swept into a sieve by a submachine gun.

"It's over..." Colonel Ando changed from a sharp-edged commander to a little old man in an instant, and he slumped on the ground with his buttocks slumped on the ground, screaming in despair.

The adjutant was about to comfort the captain, but the words were swallowed back.

The cavalry's assault speed is too fast, and there is artillery cover, the probability of the artillery position falling is more than [-]%...

Without the advantage of artillery fire, the infantry is like a group of hungry wolves without fangs. They look fierce, but the overall combat effectiveness will plummet!

After a successful raid on the artillery positions, the cavalry units of the Independent Regiment will certainly not stop and watch the show.

They already had an advantage in fighting infantry, and they were no match for anything.

With the addition of artillery fire cover, all the troops on the offensive position add up to be no opponent...

At that time, Amaterasu will not be able to save them.

Facing such a dangerous situation, his mind was also confused, and he couldn't think of a reason to comfort the captain.

"The captain... the artillery position is lost, and the independent regiment will definitely concentrate its artillery fire on our attacking troops..." a captain hurriedly reminded.

"They are the only remaining mobile troops in the offensive position. There must be no accidents, otherwise the cavalry troops of the independent regiment can easily destroy us with a single assault!"

"They must be pulled down immediately to join us..."

"You can't stay in the offensive position, it's better to join forces with the main force in the rear!"

"The more troops we get together, the longer we defend, the more we can hold on until the reinforcements come over!"

"As long as the reinforcements arrive on the battlefield in time, we can turn defeat into victory and take down the independent regiment."

After these words, Colonel Ando regained his sanity a little bit.

Although he still doesn't have much hope that he can turn defeat into victory, he still decides to fight. If he wins, he can turn from a defeated general to a hero.

Clenching his fists, he forced himself to stand upright, and ordered with a serious face: "The attacking troops will withdraw immediately..."

"Heavy machine gun squadron, mortar squadron, withdraw together and join us!"

"The whole army turned around and charged forward in the direction of the main force!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Colonel Ando reacted quickly and gave the order to retreat after regaining his composure, but the artillery battalion reacted even faster.More than a dozen shells seemed to have eyes, screaming and flying towards the devil's heavy machine gun position.

They are the biggest threat to the cavalry. If they are killed, the cavalry battalion can gallop freely in the offensive position, and surprise anyone they want!
