The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"The Eighth Route Army is looking for death. This time, we can't let them run away. The troops will immediately form a battle formation, march forward in a hurry, and reinforce the forward search team..." Major General Ikeda ordered with his eyes shining as if he had been beaten. .

"Hurry up, this time we must completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army attacking us...Kill it...Boom boom..."

As soon as the reinforcement order was issued, the explosion sounded right in front of the team.

Ten balls of black smoke suddenly rose in front of the main force, and countless soil and bushes were blown away in the explosion, and several subordinates who rushed to the front of the team fell to the ground.

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army wants to round up the main force..." Major General Ikeda suddenly had a very scary thought in his mind.

But the idea was quickly rejected.

If the Eighth Route Army really amassed heavy troops to ambush itself, the artillery shells fired just now should have landed in the middle of the team, so as to cause maximum damage to the main force, instead of falling directly in front of the main force. Ten shells would only kill and injure less than ten people.

While letting out a long sigh of relief, the second round of shells just hit.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air and mud splashed. This time at least [-] soldiers were covered by artillery fire, and most of them died were Japanese.

Major General Ikeda suddenly came to his senses, slapped his head and shouted loudly: "Baga, I understand..."

"The Eighth Route Army wants to intercept us with artillery fire and prevent us from reinforcing the forward search team."

"Don't stop the reinforcements, just rush over there, it's important to rescue the forward search team, hurry up..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The rate of fire of the mortar was too fast, and the shells fell from the sky one by one as if they didn't need money. After a while, the devil's front was completely blocked by the smoke from the shells.

There are flying shell fragments everywhere, the bodies of soldiers killed by the bombing, limbs and arms, and even bloody minced meat and internal organs.

Under the watchful eyes of Major General Ikeda, the reinforcements rushed into the gunpowder continuously, but only [-]% of the soldiers were able to rush over.

"General, the rate of fire of the mortars is too fast, and the intercepting artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, so we can no longer rush forward. Otherwise, the reinforcement troops here will lose more than the entire army of the forward search team. It is better not to reinforce the forward search team." The team leader was heartbroken when he saw it, and he was anxious to remind him.

Major General Ikeda also realized this, with a gloomy and terrifying face, he clenched his fist and slammed it on a big tree by the side of the road, and said helplessly, "We were almost able to reach the battlefield and block the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops." ,What a pity."

"The troop stopped advancing, bypassed the area covered by artillery fire and continued to reinforce the search team. If it can be rescued, it will be rescued. If it can't be rescued, let it be. We can't lose watermelon and pick sesame seeds, and make a loss-making business."

The captain of the battalion breathed a sigh of relief. In order to reduce the loss of the troops, he decided to run to the battlefield himself, and replied while running: "The general is wise, and the humble officer will arrange it now."

Major General Ikeda bypassed the area covered by artillery fire, and managed to get to the battlefield, but what was left behind him was a pile of dead bodies and broken limbs and broken arms, his face was instantly flushed with anger.

In my heart, I really wanted to lead troops to chase down the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops. In the end, rationality overcame impulse, took a deep breath, and slowly regained my composure. Ershan..."

"Wait until we get to the enemy's camp and force their main force out, and then we will have revenge and revenge..."

The captain's eyes were also red with anger. If the brigade commander hadn't suppressed him, he would have led his troops to hunt down Huang Yu by now.

Major General Ikeda was thinking about the whole anti-sweeping campaign, and he didn't care about the specific losses of the raiding troops in the middle, as long as there were no accidents in the sweeping overall situation.

The captain is different. Every Japanese lost here is his subordinate. No one knows better than him how much the troops have lost in the middle raid. When he thinks of the current situation of the troops, he has a headache. Looking at Major General Ikeda, he looks embarrassed: "Then we Should we continue to send forward search teams..."

"Of course we will send..." Major General Ikeda replied without hesitation.

"The two forward search teams were wiped out in just a few minutes, which is enough to prove how strong our opponents are. If the forward search team hadn't helped the main force clear the danger on the road, what was wiped out now would be the entire mid-lane sweeping force."

"But we don't have mortars and heavy machine guns in our hands anymore?" The captain immediately said the biggest difficulty facing the mopping up troops in the middle.

"Nani?" Major General Ikeda turned his attention to the specific losses of the mopping up troops in the middle, and once again showed an expression of sudden realization, and shouted: "Bageyalu, we seem to have been fooled..."

"Without heavy machine guns and mortars, if the Eighth Route Army gathers heavy troops to besiege us, the central mopping up troops will not even have the strength to protect themselves.

"This is a mountainous area. The two infantry artillery and the two mountain artillery we brought into the mountain are not as effective as the four mortars."

"The equipment of the Eighth Route Army is already very good, and now I have captured eight or nine mortars, and the long-range attack firepower is stronger. We are definitely not opponents when the two sides meet head-to-head."

The captain added solemnly: "General, in addition to the mortar squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron, we also lost one and a half infantry squadrons and three companies of the imperial alliance..."

"The two forward search teams lost an infantry squad and a company of the Royal Association Army. Just now we reinforced the forward search team, and the Eighth Route Army intercepted the artillery fire and caused us another infantry squad casualty."

"The last time the forward search team was attacked, we were killed and wounded by landmines over a dozen imperial troops and half a company of the imperial association army."

"Yesterday's sporadic exchange of fire with the Eighth Route Army lost an infantry squad and half a company of the Imperial Association Army. Now we only have two and a half squadrons left, one battalion of the Imperial Association Army, one mountain artillery squad, one infantry artillery squad, one cavalry squad, one There are less than 900 troops left in the supply team!"

Major General Ikeda was frightened, and then felt a huge crisis coming towards him. He raised his eyebrows and began to order: "Contact the left and right sweeping forces immediately, and let them move closer to us immediately."

"The troops are not leaving today. We will immediately set up a defense line on the high ground on the east side of the mountain road. We will go to Mao'er Mountain together after the other two raiding troops join us."

The team leader instantly understood the hidden meaning of the brigade commander's words, and while executing the order, he asked back: "General, are you worried that the Eighth Route Army will kill us and besiege us now?"

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..." Major General Ikeda replied calmly.

"Compared with the Eighth Route Army that raided us just now, their superiority in firepower is already on their side. If they don't prepare in advance, the troops will definitely suffer a lot if they are attacked."

"Our losses are already great, and we must prevent all accidents in the next battle. If we can take risks, we will not take risks...Boom boom boom..."

The explosion of shells interrupted Major General Ikeda's order again, and there was a sudden puff of black smoke rising from the ranks behind him. Although the hit rate of these shells was very low, only seven or eight hit Zhongshan Road, but because all the troops were gathered on the mountain road, The formation was very dense, and these shells still killed or wounded a dozen or so soldiers.

Major General Ikeda's face turned pale at that moment.

He was too crowed, he would say whatever he wanted, he was so angry that he wanted to slap himself twice.

The reaction was very fast. He drew out his self-defense pistol and ran towards the high ground he wanted.

"We must not let their conspiracy succeed. The troops immediately seize the commanding heights, rely on favorable terrain to establish a line of defense, and stand by for help."

"As long as we persist until the reinforcements come over, we will be able to cooperate with the reinforcements to flank and attack all the Eighth Route Army that besieged us."

"Speed ​​up a little bit, and we must be ahead of the Eighth Route Army to occupy the commanding heights, otherwise we will be attacked by the enemy from above, and the Eighth Route Army will press down and beat us with artillery fire and heavy machine guns."

Major General Ikeda's ability to adapt to a battle is very strong. When the situation is not good, he intends to stand by and wait for help. He doesn't want to lose face at all.

But his opponent is Huang Yu, a man who has never traded at a loss.

He had already thought of the solutions that Major General Ikeda could think of, and he had already thought up the countermeasures in advance, and even arranged the battlefield.

More than 20 mortars fired at the devils continuously. In order not to be killed, the little devils moved very quickly.

In a few minutes, he rushed to the highland halfway up the mountain that Major General Ikeda wanted to occupy.

The terrain here is very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the troops successfully rush to the high ground, self-protection will definitely be no problem.

Seeing that the high ground was about to be trampled underfoot, an accident happened.

"Boom boom boom..."

Several explosions sounded among the Japanese and puppet troops one after another. Black smoke rose from the explosion point, and the soldiers running beside the explosion point fell to the ground.

These explosions were not as loud as mortar shells, more like grenade explosions.

There is no Eighth Route Army stationed on the high ground in front of you, so the explosion just now could only be caused by grenades and booby-trapped mines.

Why did the Eighth Route Army set up booby traps here, and there were several of them as soon as they appeared. Any fool would know that there is something wrong with it.

"Boom boom boom..."

Several more booby traps were detonated in the crowd, and the casualties caused by the booby traps exceeded ten soldiers at once, and it was caused in just a few seconds, which shows that the density of booby traps on the hillside is very high.

If he continued to charge towards the mountain like just now, the next person to be killed by the booby-trapped mine would most likely be himself.

Everyone is afraid of death, and little devils who believe in bushido are no exception, especially this kind of death that loses their lives for no reason without knowing where they are now.

The speed at which the Japanese and puppet troops seized the mountain slowed down significantly. Major General Ikeda finally reacted at this moment, and ordered anxiously: "Bageya Road, we have been fooled again."

"The Eighth Route Army calculated that we would seize the high ground after being attacked, and deliberately placed booby traps on the road we must pass to slow down our army's marching speed."

"If they seize the high ground first, we will be suppressed by fire on the mountainside."

When Major General Ikeda spoke, several booby traps were detonated, and the casualties began to increase sharply.The captain was anxious, and quickly expressed his thoughts: "Sir, retreat, if the high ground is full of booby traps, we will suffer heavy losses if we occupy the high ground. The remaining troops will definitely not be able to hold on to the reinforcements."

"Since the Eighth Route Army has deployed its main forces around the high ground, there must not be many troops in other places. If we wait for reinforcements in another place, we may be able to avoid the main force of the Eighth Route Army."
