The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The mountain artillery equipped by the Japanese artillery unit was still wearing gun jackets, and the mortars were all mounted together. The artillery positions had to be re-arranged before the artillery could be fired.

The devil gunners immediately got busy, some were setting up cannons, some were pushing cannons, some were carrying shells, they were extremely busy...

The officers shouted and cursed at the same time, and the already chaotic garrison became even more chaotic at this time.

Perhaps it was God's favor, a few mortar shells whizzed towards them, and suddenly hit the artillery position that the devils were building.

The flames splashed, and more than a dozen gunners were blown away in the explosion. The already chaotic artillery position became even more chaotic at this time, and at the same time slowed down their artillery counterattack speed.

Nakazuo Takeuchi looked more and more anxiously, and a second lieutenant suddenly ran towards him, as if he had been frightened, with a frightened expression on his face, before he could stand still, he hurriedly reported: "Report sir... There is an Eighth Route Army in Baogudi, which is just north of the station. In the event, the strength of the troops is unknown..."

"Sir...the Eighth Route Army is also active in Baogudi, which is just south of the station!"

After hearing this, the captain of the Second Battalion calmly analyzed: "Chief of Staff... We have Eighth Route Army activities in the due south, due north, and due west directions, and the only difference is due east. Could it be that they want to make our dumplings here! "

"It must be so... Based on what I know about the Eighth Route Army, so many artillery pieces will be used only in large-scale decisive battles!"

"Sir..." Another orderly hurried towards them.

"All the troops surrounding Nanhan Village were attacked...the Eighth Route Army is inside and outside the village. Our troops have suffered heavy losses and are almost unable to hold on!"

"Report to the Chief of Staff..." This time, a second lieutenant with gunpowder all over his face ran over.

"The troops stationed in our positions were attacked by the Eighth Route Army at close range..."

"It came out of nowhere, and they all lay tens of meters away from us..."

"As soon as the signal flares appeared, they threw grenades into the trenches. The troops were caught off guard without any preparation..."

Takeuchi Nakazuo's face became more serious than before, he stared at the blocking position and Nanhan Village for a few seconds before sighing: "They are finished... This is a premeditated counterattack by the Eighth Route Army..."

"The blocking position we took this afternoon must have hidden a large number of tunnel entrances and exits. The Eighth Route Army lurked under our noses through these entrances and exits, and suddenly launched an attack..."

The captain of the Second Battalion still didn't want to give up those troops, hesitantly reminded: "Chief of Staff, why don't we send troops to reinforce and save as many as we can!"

Takeuchi Nakasa shook his head and said in pain, "It's too late!"

"The troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army at close range and flanked back and forth. No matter who was in command there, they couldn't last for a few minutes!"

"The garrison is in chaos. When we gather our troops, the troops there will be gone!"

"To kill them rashly, the Eighth Route Army is probably already in full battle, waiting for us to hit their guns..."

"Don't forget, those positions were built by the Eighth Route Army. They are more familiar with us than us. If you take over, you can immediately establish a defense line, and you don't even need preparation time!"

"Then what shall we do next?" Although the captain of the second brigade was very unwilling, he knew that what Nakasa Takeuchi said was the truth, so he could only settle for the next best thing, staring at the chief of staff and continuing to question.

"Defend the garrison well, keep the troops around us, no matter whether the Eighth Route Army has the idea of ​​making our dumplings, we must minimize the loss!"

"The garrison troops should immediately prepare for battle in units of squadrons. If the Eighth Route Army attacks the garrison, they will repel them resolutely... Without my order, no one can take the initiative to attack!"

"Our opponents are too cunning, and field combat is their best way of fighting... I am worried that they have set up a net around us, and as soon as the troops leave the station, they will sneak into their pockets!"

"The artillery units counterattack immediately!"

"The artillery of the Eighth Route Army is the greatest threat to us... Knock them out, and we can minimize our losses!"

People who want to win more are more afraid of losing and more cautious in making decisions. Nakasa Takeuchi is such a person.

He urgently needs a victory to prove himself.

If he loses the battle, he will not only lose the good opportunity that the brigade commander gave him, but may also ruin his military career, making the superior feel that he is just a staff member who gives advice and advice, and has no ability to be a commander. I will never have the opportunity to join the army.

These reasons forced him to first consider stability when commanding a war.

Don't dare to act rashly at any sign of trouble.

It seems that now, there are only signs of the Eighth Route Army's activities in the north and south directions of the garrison, and no Eighth Route Army has actually launched an attack.

This frightened him to think that the Eighth Route Army was going to make his dumplings here, so he immediately switched from attack to defense, sticking to the garrison...

To the west of Nanhan Village, the platoon leader held the box cannon and pulled the trigger continuously, and quickly beat the last devil, Chief Cao, into a sieve.

More than 60 puppet soldiers were terrified, threw their rifles aside, knelt on the ground, raised their hands, and kept shouting for the Eighth Route Army to spare their lives...

The platoon leader's face was already full of joy, the raid that just ended was really smooth.

Ten or twenty of them died before the devils found out, and they were caught off guard and killed more than 30 in their first round of fire raids, and then only ten or twenty people remained in the entire strengthening team.

The troops came all the way, rifles and pistols fired a volley, the devils didn't even have a bunker, no matter how they resisted, it was a battle of trapped beasts!

A reinforced platoon wiped out a reinforced Japanese squad with only a dozen soldiers lost, and captured more than 60 puppet troops...

If it weren't for his personal experience, the platoon leader would never believe that the devils would be so vulnerable, and the troops he commanded would be so powerful.

Happy to be happy, he has not forgotten the explanation of the head of the group before departure...

After scanning the surroundings, he ordered: "Squad [-] and [-] take the captives and retreat immediately... The others stay to clean up the battlefield. Not a single bullet casing can be left for the little devil, so hurry up!"

"Two people from Class Three came with me to block the entrance and exit of the tunnel..."

"This is our trump card for fighting devils, maybe it can be used next time!"

In Shunping County, it became very lively from nine o'clock in the evening.

Everywhere in the city was illuminated by torches, and carts full of food, weapons and ammunition left from the west gate one after another, disappearing into the vast night.

Every cart is followed by a squad of the Eighth Route Army!

Someone was holding a rifle in his hand and staring at the surroundings vigilantly... Someone was carrying a rifle on his back and marching normally, helping to push the cart from time to time...

In a piece of Baogu land about one kilometer away from the west gate, two little devil scouts are staring at every cart coming out of the gate, observing and recording...

"This is already the 42nd cart that the Eighth Route Army has pulled out of the city tonight...Each cart is with an infantry squad, and there are already more than four companies of the Eighth Route Army out of the city together..." A scout analyzed while counting.

Another scout who was observing the convoy with binoculars answered immediately: "The troops of more than four companies left the city in two hours..."

"The convoy at the city gate still has no intention of stopping!"

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army already knew the news of our dispatch of troops to Shunping, knew that they couldn't defend Shunping, and wanted to avoid its edge, and retreated ahead of time!"

"It must be so!" The scout who spoke first immediately supported.

"Our troops will be able to reach Shunping tomorrow... The Eighth Route Army won't leave tonight, and they won't be able to leave after dawn!"

"It's a pity that we don't have our troops here, otherwise we could block the city gate and give them a trick to catch the turtle!"

"Look at it for a while, after confirming that the Eighth Route Army really intends to abandon Shunping, report to Baoding immediately!"

At the Japanese military garrison in Nanhan Village, when the artillery was about to prepare for a counterattack, the shells whistling overhead suddenly disappeared, and the lively garrison also fell silent at this moment.

Nakazuo Takeuchi's first reaction was that the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army wanted to divert and run away.

This was the last thing he wanted to see, so he hurriedly ordered: "Let the artillerymen shoot back immediately, otherwise the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army will run away, and they must be killed!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Half a minute later, Nakazuo Takeuchi's long-awaited gunfire finally rang out. The mountain cannon shells flew towards Baogu with piercing screams. After several seconds, the violent explosion came.

A few balls of orange-red fireballs had already soared from Baogudi, and they were particularly dazzling under the cover of night. As for whether they hit the target and exploded to the Eighth Route Army, only God knows.

After all, the two places are too far apart, and there are corn stalks in the middle, and it is night now, so I can't even see clearly!
