The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 605 Lead the snake out of the hole (first)
The battalion commanders on the other end of the phone were frightened, excited and envious, because they did not fight the victory in Peishan.

Before they could react from the shock, Liu Sen's order sounded again.

"We are the main force of the regiment, and we cannot be compared by several defensive regiments."

"Now we don't have any worries. I decided to continue attacking Yi County and try to reach the county seat within half an hour and end the battle within an hour. Do you have confidence?"

"Have……

The four battalion commanders almost shouted the word.

They are also people who want face, all of them are excited by the chief of staff, and they can't wait to enter Yi County now.

"Then start working, whoever enters the county first will be the first..." Liu Sen finally ordered.

"But I want to remind everyone, don't forget the ratio of new and veteran soldiers in the army, and give me a little peace of mind when attacking. Not only do I want you to take down Yixian County, but I also want everyone to end the battle at the lowest cost."

"At that time, I will punish the battalion with the highest casualty ratio. Let's fight like this first. If the little devil is fooled, we will take Yi County. If the little devil is not fooled, the troops will immediately return to the offensive position and attack Yi County."

…………

The commander of the Japanese Garrison Command in Yi County was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously, looking up at the clock hanging on the wall from time to time.

Although the offensive of the Eighth Route Army outside the city has eased, as long as the reinforcements do not arrive in Yi County within a minute, they may attack again at any time.

In order to defend Yi County, he sent all the soldiers capable of fighting in the city to the top of the city, even the few Chinese guards in the city who worked for the imperial army. Grenades were forcibly added to the guards to join the battle.

"Report sir, there is still no sign of the Eighth Route Army launching a general attack outside the city." The telephone soldier put down the phone and reported to the captain with a happy face.

"It should be that the reinforcements are coming soon. The Eighth Route Army attacking us is afraid of being attacked by the enemy, so they dare not fight!" The adjutant was also very happy when he heard the good news, and immediately expressed his thoughts.

"The reinforcements have a large number of troops, well-equipped, and powerful combat capabilities. Even if the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong sends all other troops to Peishan for reinforcements, it will not be enough."

"The Eighth Route Army outside the city must be waiting for news. If their reinforcements can stop our reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army will continue to attack. If the reinforcements cannot stop our reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army outside the city will definitely retreat immediately. We will not give us a chance to attack them back and forth. .”

"I think we should not only defend the county seat, but also try to hold back the Eighth Route Army outside the city. If they want to retreat, we can delay it for as long as possible, so as to create opportunities for the reinforcements to gather and annihilate them."

The team leader approved of the deputy's analysis, but he was still worried until he got a definite result.

Yi County's defenders have dropped from more than 900 before the war to more than 400, of which more than 100 are still guards from the city, and their combat effectiveness is very poor.

In case of another strong attack by the Eighth Route Army, the city defense troops may not be able to stop their attack even once.

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone in the room rang suddenly, and the phone soldier responded very quickly, grabbing the receiver before the second ringtone.

Half a minute later, covering the microphone, he reported: "Sir, the garrison in the east of the city reports that the Eighth Route Army attacking us outside the city seems to be retreating..."

The team leader looked happy, and he was very happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and ordered: "What is possibility, let them check it out before reporting..."

"Hayi..." The telephone soldier immediately let go of the microphone he was covering, and began to chatter.

Before putting down the phone, another phone rang. The adjutant picked up the receiver himself and listened for a full minute before putting it down.

Walking quickly to the captain, he grinned and reported excitedly: "Congratulations, sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us outside the city has really retreated, and we are defending Yi County!"

"Report from the garrison west of the city: The Eighth Route Army attacking them is quickly withdrawing from the battlefield."

"It must be that the Eighth Route Army defending Peishan is about to be overwhelmed. Let the Eighth Route Army outside the city be notified in advance to retreat."

"Peishan is just over an hour away from here. If we send troops to hold the Eighth Route Army outside the city and prevent them from retreating, we can flank them back and forth with the reinforcements."

"Sir, this is our only chance to get revenge. If you miss it, it will be gone. Please think carefully."

The Eighth Route Army's attacking troops in one direction outside the city began to retreat. It may be an accident, or the city defense troops misread it.

Now that the Eighth Route Army in even one direction is withdrawing at the same time, it doesn't make sense to explain it by accident.

It proved that the adjutant's previous analysis was all correct.

If the reinforcements had already broken through Peishan, and he sent troops to hold back the retreating troops of the Eighth Route Army, he would be able to wipe them out in all likelihood.

But doing so is also risky.

The Eighth Route Army outside the city has a large number of troops. Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, they are well equipped.

In case they kill themselves after sending out troops, not only will they lose all the troops leaving the city, but they may also lose the county seat of Yi County, which they have guarded for half the night.

But just letting the Eighth Route Army leave like this, and watching the cooked duck slip away from his mouth, he felt very unwilling.

The adjutant is a fine person, especially good at reading and watching, and can see the captain's concerns at a glance.

He really wanted the captain to chase the Eighth Route Army outside the city and hold them back.

Only by cooperating with the reinforcements to wipe out the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army can the Yixian garrison make great achievements in this conflict, and have the hope of promotion. Otherwise, it will always be a nominal adjutant, and its power is not as good as that of the squadron leader below.

Immediately analyzed to the captain, hoping to relieve his worries: "Sir, after the reinforcements break through Mount Pei, it only takes more than an hour to reach Yi County."

"Even if our attacking force encounters an accident outside the city, the Eighth Route Army will not even think about entering the county within an hour."

"Ten thousand steps back, even if they successfully enter the county seat, we can still use street fighting to drag them inside the city, and persist until the reinforcements arrive in time."

The captain finally made up his mind, and looked at the adjutant who ordered seriously: "Call the garrisons in the south and north of the city immediately, and make sure that the Eighth Route Army attacking them is also withdrawing. Then each city defense force will arrange a reinforcement team to go out and attack the retreating troops of the Eighth Route Army." , drag them outside the city, and prevent them from retreating."

The adjutant was overjoyed, and immediately took orders: "Humble job, call now."

…………

Outside Yi County, Liu Sen was observing every move of the Japanese and puppet troops at the head of the city through a telescope.

The siege troops have started to retreat as planned. If the little devil in the city is not fooled after 10 minutes, he can only lure the snake out of the hole for a strong attack.

The hard work paid off, and when it seemed that we could not wait any longer, the closed city gate of the east gate was suddenly opened.

More than 60 Japanese and puppet troops swarmed out of the city gate, formed a battle formation at the gate of the city, and marched hurriedly towards the retreating battalion.

Liu Sen's clenched fists were instantly released, and he said excitedly and expectantly: "The little devil has been fooled."

"Notify all battalion commanders, continue to lure snakes out of the cave as planned, and eliminate all Japanese and puppet troops who have left the city."

"As soon as the ambush is over, turn around and fight back to Yi County, strive to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and take it down in one go."

In order to hold back the retreating Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, the Japanese and puppet troops out of the city ran very fast.

After a while, they crossed the offensive position that was already deserted, and chased in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's retreat.

This is they have been out of town nearly 500 meters.

Liu Sen's attention was also focused on these Japanese and puppet troops. If he remembered correctly, the pocket array prepared by the first battalion was there.

"Da da da……"

The gunfire sounded very suddenly, and the running Japanese and puppet troops were unprepared, and nearly half of the soldiers were knocked down by the bullets in the blink of an eye.

The remaining half of the Japanese and puppet troops knew that they had been fooled without even thinking about it. They turned around and fled back, wanting to withdraw to Yi County.

But the flying speed of the bullets far exceeded their escape speed, and people kept getting shot in the back and fell to the ground while running.

An infantry platoon appeared out of nowhere from the empty offensive position just now.

Although there are few people, they are equipped with three light machine guns, and they start to fire when they put one on the bunker.

Bullets hit them head-on like it was raining, and the seven or eight Japanese and puppet soldiers in the front were all smashed into sieves, and they fell to the ground without moving.

"Comrades, kill me all, wipe out the little devils in the pocket formation, and take Yi County..." The Eighth Route Army that disappeared on the battlefield came out from different places. The gap in the top of the city has been blasted.

"Boom boom boom..."

Several mortars joined the battle at the same time, and heavy machine guns were also brought out, set up in the offensive formation and fired towards the head of the city.

After subtracting the assault troops, there were less than 50 Japanese and puppet troops left in Chengtou.

Seeing the hundreds of Eighth Route Army suddenly appearing outside the city and the troops leaving the city that were wiped out in an instant, many people were frightened, especially the puppet army and devils dragged to the city to fill up the guard yard.

Stretching their necks, they froze on the crenel until the rain of bullets hit the battlement, and the group of people shrank their heads back in fright.

But there are always a few unlucky ones who are beaten to death.

In addition to those who had just been killed by the shell, the small city defense force lost more than a dozen personnel.

The remaining 30 or so remnant soldiers hid behind the battlements like a turtle with their heads shrunken, even though the bullets were flying above their heads, they would not come out.

More than a dozen devils still wanted to fight. Although the bullets they fired successfully hit the Eighth Route Army outside the city, they were also targeted by several light and heavy machine guns outside the city.

No matter how fast the reaction speed is, it can't beat the too many bullets shot at him.

As long as you dare to show your head, there is no way to hide, and you will be smashed into a sieve by bullets.

"Comrades, rush... enter the county town and kill all the little devils..." A company commander rushed to the gap in the city wall, shouted and threw a grenade at the ruins, followed by two guards, and then Crouch down and hide in the corner of the city wall to prevent yourself from being accidentally bombed.

"Boom boom boom..."

Three grenades were fired one after another, and countless city wall bricks and soil were blown away and fell on them, but they didn't hear a scream from the little devil, indicating that the gap was not defended by the Japanese and puppet troops.

The company commander quickly stood up, holding the box cannon in one hand, and crawled up the gap with the other, keeping his eyes on the front, shooting and killing the Japanese and puppet troops that might appear at any time.
