The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 546 Devils Don't Dare To Do This (First Update!)

At one o'clock in the morning, except for a few devils' guard posts and patrol soldiers, all the other devils fell asleep.

Grand Master Miyazawa fell asleep on the sixth day more than three hours ago, and now he is dreaming of regaining Junpei.

A series of screams suddenly pierced the tranquility of the night sky and reached the ears of every little devil in the station.

Grand Master Miyazawa was very vigilant, and sat up from the camp bed after a while.

Ordinary devils are not treated as well as he is. They use the combat unit as a unit and sit around the campfire to sleep.

As soon as the screams sounded, these ghost soldiers stood up from the ground like a conditioned reflex, holding the rifles in their arms at the same time, and stared at their surroundings vigilantly.

"Boom...Boom..."

Cannonballs fell from the sky, instantly blasting dozens of fireballs of different sizes.

When Colonel Miyazawa rushed out of the tent, the camp covered by gunfire was already filled with gunpowder smoke, and the air was filled with pieces of flying meat, soil, weapons and equipment...

There were bomb craters all over the place, and his subordinates fell all over the place, and some soldiers who hadn't died fell to the ground, howling and screaming... It was like a piece of purgatory on earth, it was horrible.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has assembled at least forty artillery pieces to attack us, and one-third of the mountain artillery!" The artillery staff officer ran over with a face full of fear.

Grand Master Miyazawa reacted very quickly, and immediately thought of the Field Artillery Brigade and Mountain Artillery Squadron who were killed together with the Chief of Staff.

When the troops dispatched troops, he discussed these artillery pieces with the brigade commander.

They feel that artillery is different from infantry, and it takes a long time to train to form combat effectiveness, especially the more demanding mountain artillery.

The Second Regiment had just experienced a major defeat, and there were not many artillery left.

Although the Shunping garrison has 2000 people, it is a new army after all, and there must not be many artillery.

Even if the Eighth Route Army captures all the artillery lost by the Field Artillery Brigade and the Mountain Artillery Brigade, they can only be piled up in the warehouse to rust, and there is no way to form combat effectiveness in just three or four days.

If the efficiency of the attacking troops is high enough and the attack speed is fast enough, they might be able to take back all those mountain cannons.

With this in mind, Miyazawa Osaku didn't pay much attention to the opponent's artillery from the beginning of his troops.

The garrison was suddenly attacked by so many artillery pieces, and he realized that both he and the brigade commander had underestimated the opponent's strength.

Not only did they equip the troops with the captured mountain artillery and mortars at the first time, but they also formed combat effectiveness in just three or four days, which is too scary.

Grand Master Miyazawa racked his brains and couldn't figure out how the Duertuan did it.

Little did they know that these artillery were brought by Kong Jie, and the field artillery battalion and mountain artillery company, which made them fearful, had not yet fully formed their combat effectiveness.

Relying on the range advantage, the artillery was placed outside the range of the devil's mortar.

The old gunners adjusted the shooting crews in advance, and the new gunners who have not yet learned how to shoot only need to follow the steps of reloading, firing, clearing the chamber, and reloading.

Anyway, the devil's garrison is very large. As long as the general shelling direction of the mountain artillery remains the same, the shells fired will definitely hit the target.

As for the quasi-head, they didn't need it in Huang Yu's battle plan.

Mountain artillery shells are far more powerful than mortars. Their main purpose is to scare the devils and destroy their garrisons, and the second is to kill people.

What really played a role in killing the enemy were more than 30 mortars.

They are operated by the best gunners of the Second Regiment and the Garrison Regiment. Even if there are not so many gunners, there must be two mortars and one veteran gunner.

They used the platoon as a unit to find activities near the devil's garrison, and where there were more devils, they fired.

If they were lucky enough to find the Devil Artillery Unit, they would strike first and not give them a chance to fire.

Grand Master Miyazawa did not know about this battle plan. He only saw that the garrison was attacked by forty or fifty artillery pieces, and countless soldiers were killed and injured under the cover of artillery fire...

Of course, even if he knew that the opponent's artillery was vulnerable, he didn't dare to face it head-on.

The three thousand elites in his hand are all mobile units that can be deployed in the entire Baoding area, not just the mobile units in Baoding City.

In the unlikely event of an accident, the troops would suffer too many casualties, and the entire Baoding area would be in danger of having no soldiers available.

This responsibility is not only unbearable for Miyazawa, but also for the head of the brigade who stayed behind in Baoding.

Otherwise, Major General Hase would not have confessed at the third party before he set off. He must keep the troops, regain Shunping at the least cost, and severely damage the Duer Regiment and the Shunping Defense Regiment.

Just by glancing at the area covered by artillery fire, Miyazawa Colonel Miyazawa judged the fact that the garrison had suffered more than 300 casualties.

If the troops are allowed to counterattack against the artillery fire, even if they defeat the opponent, their own casualties will exceed a thousand!

This loss was unbearable for Grand Master Miyazawa.

He ordered without hesitation: "The troops immediately evacuated the station and retreated five kilometers straight back, hurry up!"

On the blocking position less than one kilometer away from the battlefield, Kong Jie and Huang Yu were observing the battle situation under the illumination of artillery fire.

As soon as the Japanese army showed signs of retreating, a look of disappointment flashed across Huang Yu's face: "Regimental Commander, you little devil is too cautious..."

"The cavalry company wanted to run away before they entered the field... Tonight's goal of killing the enemy will definitely not be achieved!"

Kong Jie didn't see it that way.

Whether it's the Duer Regiment or the Shunping Defense Regiment, what they lack most now is time.

If he could defeat the little devil with hundreds of shells and restore peace to the troops for a few months, he would always be smiling in his dreams.

Besides, the more than 3000 little devils carrying a large amount of heavy equipment and ammunition can't withdraw if they want to.

Looking at the blazing battlefield, he comforted him with joy: "Don't worry, as long as the mortar can be fired accurately and find the right target, there will be a burst of bombardment..."

"Even if the devils retreat now, we can still cut off a large piece of fat from them!"

"The role of the cavalry company is to scare devils. It can be anywhere, not necessarily here..."

Speaking of this, the corner of Kong Jie's mouth suddenly twitched, and he pointed to the northeast corner of the devil's camp and said, "Xiao Huang, the devil rushed to evacuate the camp and made a big mistake. Look over there!"

"They want to separate their troops and evacuate the station..." Huang Yu was stunned for a moment. At first, he still couldn't believe his eyes. After repeated confirmation, he said happily: "This is too much to focus on one thing and lose the other!"

"It's simply giving us military exploits for nothing!"

"Regimental Commander, I suggest that the seven assault companies that have been reinforced by the regiment's main force, and the two main force companies of the garrison regiment that can still fight, bring heavy machine guns and grenade grenades, and all go out, and turn to the devils who are alone!"

"The artillery fires faster, making the little devil feel the pressure and rush to evacuate the station..."

"The more anxious they are, the more chaotic they will be, and the more scattered the troops will be..."

"Our troops are taking advantage of the opportunity to train and prepare for the next all-out attack!"

Kong Jie nodded immediately: "Let the cavalry company join the battle!"

"Although they haven't formed combat effectiveness yet, the little devil doesn't know... It's okay to go to the battlefield to scare them!"

"If you are lucky enough, you can also disperse the devils who are gathered together, so that the infantry can attack them one by one!"

Grand Master Miyazawa led two infantry squadrons to evacuate from the main gate, and just after running less than 500 meters, there was a burst of firefighting behind him.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until the sound of firefights became more and more intense, and gunshots came from the north, south, southwest, and northwest directions of the station, that he realized that something was wrong.

Before he could figure out why, he saw a second lieutenant rushing towards him in a panic: "Sir...the breakout troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army..."

"There are gunshots everywhere around the garrison... The Eighth Route Army and cavalry are helping out!"

Grand Master Miyazawa's face turned pale again, he slapped his head and said, "No, we made a big mistake!"

"The Eighth Route Army wants to defeat our breakout troops one by one..."

"Contact all the troops we can contact immediately...Assemble as soon as you leave the station, and rush to the predetermined location to assemble..."

"All the troops who have not yet broken out of the garrison retreat from the gate of the garrison...don't give the Eighth Route Army any chance!"

Grand Master Miyazawa reacted very quickly, but no matter how fast he reacted, he could not save the troops that had already been attacked.

In the wasteland 500 meters southwest of the garrison, more than 200 little devils are rushing to the scheduled assembly point. There are people in the middle of the team carrying mortars and heavy machine guns. It is obviously a reinforced squadron.

Regardless of the Duer regiment or the Shunping garrison regiment, they are no match for any company.

"Rumble..."

A sound of horseshoes suddenly reached the devil's ears, and the squadron leader led by the devil hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound.

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and the blurred figure of the cavalry company finally appeared in the sight of the squadron leader.

If the devils choose to stand by and wait for help, relying on heavy machine guns and mortars to fight to the end, the cavalry company is really no match for them, and they don't even dare to attack by force.

But the leader of the Devil Squadron dared not do this.

He still remembers the artillery fire that the Eighth Route Army bombarded the garrison.

A round of dozens of shells fell, and hundreds of soldiers were instantly submerged in the artillery fire...

I only have more than 200 soldiers in my hands. If they stop here and are targeted by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, at most two rounds of artillery fire can kill them all.

The constant sound of firefights around him also made him worry a lot.

In case I stopped here and was surrounded by the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, I would also be unable to escape.

Based on such an analysis, it would be a bad idea to stop here and force the cavalry.

Continue to retreat and allocate a part of the troops to fight against. Although there will be losses, the main force can be brought back.

As soon as his mind turned, he thought of the strong man breaking his wrist, and immediately ordered: "Heavy machine gun squad, the first infantry squad stay behind, block the Eighth Route Army cavalry in front, and cover the main force to retreat."

Ten minutes later, the squadron leader led more than 10 subordinates and ran forward for another 100 meters. As a result, there was no sound of firefighting as imagined behind him.

Just when the squadron leader looked puzzled, not knowing what the rear troops were doing, the sound of roaring horseshoes reached his ears again.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Cavalry bypassed the rear troops and charged towards us again!" a Cao Chang chased up and reported.

The squadron leader scolded angrily: "Bageyalu, we are just an ordinary army, why do they just chase us and not others."

"I've already left two teams, why aren't they satisfied!"
