The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 538 Standing firm under our noses, it's a shame (second more)
"Reporting to the head, we took down the devil's ammunition depot. All the ammunition that the devil brought to Shunping is in it. There are thousands of rounds of shells alone!" It's all smiles.

Kong Jie had expected this result a long time ago, and there was not much reaction on his face until another correspondent ran over.

"Regimental Commander, we have taken down the Devil's artillery garrison..." the correspondent of the Second Battalion reported excitedly.

"They were not vigilant at all, and they didn't even arrange for sentries... We directly blocked them in the barracks, bombed them with grenades, and swept them with machine guns. We killed more than 300 artillerymen in a few minutes."

"The field artillery, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery they brought to Shunping... were still wearing gun jackets, and none of them were lost..."

"Take me to see..." Kong Jie walked outside the headquarters after hearing this.

He stayed in Shunping County for nearly ten days, and he knew the layout of the city like the palm of his hand, even with his eyes closed he knew where the artillery garrison was going.

"Be careful...these are wild artillery...we didn't equip them when we were in the Second Brigade...the gold is expensive!" The battalion commander Deng Jingye led his subordinates to inspect the artillery that had just been seized one by one at the Devil Artillery Station.

"Battalion Commander, the barrel of the field cannon is so long, it must be more powerful than the mountain cannon!" the fifth company commander asked, patting the long barrel of the field cannon.

"Not only is it more powerful, but it also has a longer range!" Deng Jingye introduced.

"On the battlefield, if the Japanese and puppet troops only had field artillery, but no mountain artillery...we placed the field artillery outside the range of the mountain artillery! When the two sides exchanged fire, our field artillery could hit their mountain artillery positions, but the devil's mountain artillery could not follow. If you come to our field artillery position, you can only be beaten passively!"

"Commander Deng is right!" Kong Jie just arrived at the entrance of the artillery garrison, and followed Deng Jingye's words.

"When I was still in Northwest Shanxi, the Independent Regiment was equipped with field artillery..."

"The same number of wild cannons can be used against mountain cannons on the battlefield... Even if the number of mountain cannons is twice that of wild cannons, the combat effectiveness of wild cannons is not far behind!"

Walked to the side of the wild gun, patted the cold barrel on the gun mount, and continued to introduce!
"In addition to artillery battles, field artillery is more suitable for attacking fortifications and destroying enemy fortifications than mountain artillery..."

"The longer the barrel, the faster the cannon will eject and the more powerful the explosion will be..."

"When a field artillery shell falls, an ordinary civil engineering project will be razed to the ground in an instant..."

"If it hits the city wall... just a few dozen can blast a big hole..."

After listening to the head's introduction, Deng Jingye treasured the cannon in the yard even more, for fear that he would scratch it somewhere, or touch it!

After counting, they re-covered the cannon coats, walked quickly to Huang Yu and reported: "Commander, there are a total of twelve field cannons here, six mountain cannons, and four infantry cannons..."

"I have fought for so many years, and I have never seen so many artillery pieces at once!"

"With them, we don't have to be afraid of their artillery when we fight devils in the future!"

Kong Jie said cheerfully: "With these artillery pieces, I won't be afraid of the Baoding Japanese army sending a reinforced unit to sweep up the troops once they have formed their combat effectiveness!"

"But the capture is only the first step... Only by making these cannons into combat power can we really fight the devils... Otherwise, no matter how powerful the cannon is, it will be a pile of good-looking but useless scrap metal!"

"It's one o'clock in the morning, and there are still five hours before dawn!"

"Notify the artillery company, immediately use the cars we seized to send these mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and supporting shells back to the base area!"

"You little devil can do anything!"

"If the Baoding Japanese army knew that Shunping County was lost again, and that all the field artillery brigade and mountain artillery squadron they sent to Shunping fell into our hands, they would definitely send planes to bomb Shunping!"

"They have a kind of aerial bomb called incendiary bomb... One incendiary bomb can burn a large area... As long as there are dozens of incendiary bombs, the entire Shunping County will be burned to ashes!"

"If we don't get rid of these loot quickly, when they really use incendiary bombs, we won't have time to transfer them..."

"After the battle is over, we can't leave too many troops in the city, and we must prepare for air raids at any time to prevent the Japanese army from bombing Junpei in retaliation!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Major General Hase had just been cooking at the dining table when the panicked figure of the communication staff officer appeared at the door of the room, rushing in without even shouting a report.

Seeing that the head of the brigade frowned, he was very dissatisfied.

Just when he was about to swear a few words, the communication staff officer actually spoke up first, which made him even more angry.

But the communication staff's next report directly suppressed the scolding that stuck in his mouth.

"The head of the brigade...the chief of staff seems to have had an accident!"

"According to the agreement, the two parties will contact each other at seven o'clock every morning... No matter how the humble official calls, the chief of staff has no response!"

"They are equipped with three radio stations. Even if an accident occurs, it is impossible for the three radio stations to be destroyed at the same time!"

"There is no news now, probably something happened!"

"Nani?" Major General Chang Gu stood up from the chair.

He stopped eating, grabbed the command knife and walked to the war room, looking at his watch while walking: "It's 07:30 in the morning... That means you have been in touch for half an hour, and the chief of staff has not responded?"

"Ha Yi!" The communication staff officer could feel the brigade commander's anger was raging, like a powder keg that might explode at any time, fearing that if he said one more word, he would anger the other party and set him on fire, so he nodded quickly.

"When was the last time you had contact with them?" Major General Chang Gu asked calmly.

"Seven o'clock last night!" The communications staff replied cautiously with words like gold.

"Ba Ge Ya Lu...can't you finish the sentence at once? What did they say in their last telegram?" Major General Zhang Gu asked back very dissatisfied.

The communications staff officer was taken aback by the brigade commander's questioning, and hurriedly reported like beans in a bamboo tube: "The troops successfully recaptured Shunping County..."

"After searching, there is no Eighth Route Army in the city!"

"The troops have completed the deployment in the city, and the main force is scattered and stationed. After a night's rest, we will continue to search for the main force of the Eighth Route Army tomorrow..."

Major General Chang Gu's frown deepened at this time, and he didn't understand: "Since they didn't encounter any danger in Shunping City, and they didn't find an Eighth Route Army, how could there be an accident suddenly, even to the brigade and regiment headquarters?" There is no time to send out the battle report!"

The communications staff officer shook his head, and replied with a helpless expression: "I don't understand the humble job, but Shunping County has indeed lost contact..."

"Immediately send a telegram to the Air Force Headquarters: Ask them to immediately send a plane to reconnaissance at Shunping County at low altitude..."

"With so many troops, there are dozens of cannons alone, it is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air..."

"Go send a telegram now!"

The communications staff hesitated and reminded: "Should we send some cavalry scouts to Shunping to have a look..."

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, maybe they are doing the same thing as last time, showing the aviation soldiers a false impression!"

After hearing this, Major General Zhang Gu became even angrier!

After Shunping County was captured by the Eighth Route Army, it was because he believed the false information provided by the aviation that he bought the enemy a lot of time to build positions.

The sudden mention of this matter by the communications staff is tantamount to uncovering his scars.

He scolded unceremoniously: "Then why are you still standing there..."

"You are the communications staff officer, and it is your duty to contact the chief of staff..."

"You need to ask me for instructions on such a small matter, what do I want you to do!"

Half an hour later, two planes arrived at Shunping County at the same time.

After circling back and forth several times at an altitude of more than 100 meters, I left.

Ten minutes later, the results of the aviation investigation appeared in the hands of the communications staff officer.

After a glance, his expression sank, and he walked quickly to Major General Zhang Gu, and lowered his head to report: "Brigade Commander...something happened in Shunping County..."

"The air force didn't find any signs of large troops moving in the city, and the imperial flag was not hoisted on the top of the city!"

"If the chief of staff and the others are safe, even if they go out of the city to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they will leave some troops in Shunping County..."

"Now Shunping County is empty, which is enough to show that something really happened to them!"

"It's over!"

Major General Hase was so frightened that he couldn't stand still, and fell down on the chair. The solemn expression on his face was gradually covered by despair, and his face became whiter and paler.

After reading the telegram handed over by the communications staff several times over and over again, he regained his composure, took a deep breath and said, "It's so unexpected..."

"The Duer Regiment, who had just finished a defeat, regained its fighting power under our noses and gained a firm foothold...and ate up our two reinforced brigades... This is a shame for the Imperial Japanese Army!"
