The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The Xizhuang stronghold is less than ten kilometers away from the Shunping Eighth Route Army base. At four o'clock in the afternoon, a devil commando team of more than 300 people marched here.

In addition to the original garrison in the stronghold, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops inside directly exceeded 500.

This commando had just severely damaged a main company of the Shunping garrison regiment under the cover of an aircraft, killed and injured more than 100 ordinary people, and robbed a large amount of property and livestock.

After a while, the stronghold became lively, slaughtering pigs and sheep, stewing meat, roasting lamb, roasting chicken... just like Chinese New Year.

The squad leader of the stronghold garrison also took out the good wine he treasured, and planned to drink with the commando squadron leader for eternity.

Although the devil's food is very good, it is rare to come across chicken, pork, and mutton like today's.

Everyone ate their mouths full of oil, and officers above the second lieutenant drank a lot of wine.

This made the second devil in the stronghold suffer.

The Japanese never thought of them when they drank and ate meat. When it came time to clean up the mess, they immediately thought of them, and they had to take on the task of being on duty at night.

But no matter how resentful they are in their hearts, they have to bear it. Who told them to let good Chinese people be wrong, but they want to betray their ancestors and become dogs for little devils.Now that you are a dog, you must have the awareness to be a dog.

At one o'clock in the morning, there were only a dozen or so "two devils" left in the stronghold, standing guard on the top of the gun tower.

Time passed by, the cold wind continued to hit, and the two devils couldn't help shrinking behind the battlements to avoid the cold, their eyelids began to fight at the same time, they became more and more confused, and finally fell asleep completely.

"Boom boom boom..."

Four explosions suddenly sounded under their feet and around them, like thunder, and the puppet soldiers trembled in fright, and quickly stood up from behind the battlements.He stuck his head out and looked out, wanting to know what just happened.

"Dong dong dong..."

Heavy machine gun bullets flew towards them, and several second devils whose heads popped out fell in response. Some people had half of their heads knocked off, and red and white brains splattered everywhere.

A few of the second devils who reacted a bit slower survived by chance. After seeing the tragic situation of their comrades after their death, they squatted beside them and vomited, and their faces turned pale at the same time.

"Rumble..."

The second round of explosions sounded quickly, the flames splashed, and the gun tower under the puppet army's feet also began to shake in the explosion.

"No, the turret is about to collapse..." shouted an old soldier among the puppet army, grabbed his rifle and ran to the stairs, trying to escape before the turret collapsed.

"Rumble..."

But God didn't give him this chance. As soon as he ran to the stairs, the floor under his feet began to collapse.

The veteran quickly grabbed the handrail beside him, trying to stabilize his body, but the handrail hit the ground along with the floor.

Gravel splashed and dust flew up, and the few surviving second devils were instantly submerged in the ruins.

Buried in it were the captain of the devil stationed at the stronghold and a dozen little devils,

This is the masterpiece of the artillery company of the Shunping Garrison Regiment.

Four mountain cannons fired at the same time, two artillery aimed at the blockhouse, and two artillery points at the bunker next to the blockhouse. Only two rounds of shooting razed the most threatening blockhouse in the stronghold to the ground.

The squadron leader of the Devils commando lived in the barracks at the back. Although he was drunk with alcohol, he did not forget the military qualities that had been ingrained in his bones. He sat up from the bed after a while. With a gun, rush out.

The stronghold was shelled, and the inside of the house was too dangerous. If he was hit by a shell, he would be buried in the ruins directly. The chance of surviving was almost zero. He had to leave the room before the next round of shells fell.

"Sir, the stronghold was attacked by unknown artillery fire..." The squadron leader rushed out of the barracks and saw the squad leader running towards him in a panic, reporting as he ran.

"Order the troops to enter the position, assist the garrison at the stronghold to defend the stronghold, hurry... boom..."

As soon as the squadron leader finished shouting this word, the gun tower more than ten meters high began to collapse, turning into a pile of ruins in just three seconds.

"Enemy attack... everyone quickly enter the position and defend the stronghold..."

More than 400 Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the barracks and went straight to their respective positions.

In a short while, one or two hundred Japanese and puppet troops gathered in the open space at the gate of the garrison, and there was a mess everywhere. Some people ran to this side, and some ran to that.

"Boom boom boom..."

The third round of explosions soon sounded at the stronghold. The sound was obviously not as violent as before, but more intensive.

The squadron leader was also overturned in the explosion, but he was also lucky. A guard jumped behind him at the same time, hugged him and pressed him down, blocking the two pieces of shell fragments coming from behind.

The guard was killed on the spot. When the squadron leader got up from the ground, he saw more than a dozen bomb craters in front of him. A large number of corpses and wounded were poured around each bomb crater, and the screams reached his ears at the same time.

Frightened, he quickly ordered: "Get into the position quickly, the enemy is equipped with a large number of mortars, and there is not even a bunker here, so we can't stay any longer, go away..."

Before he finished speaking, he moved, holding a self-defense pistol and a command knife, and went straight to the trench tens of meters away.

The enemy is equipped with a large number of mortars and direct-firing artillery, and the bunkers and gun towers are not safe. Only trenches can protect everyone's safety.

"Boom boom boom..."

The rate of fire of the mortar was very fast, and the squadron leader had just run more than ten meters away when the explosion reached his ears again.

Without waiting for his subordinates to remind him, he fell down on the ground and avoided this round of attack, but the other soldiers around him were not as good as him, especially the puppet army, which accounted for [-]% of the troops in the team.

Actually running around in the explosion, it is no different from courting death.

The squadron leader can't control them. In front of the artillery fire, he can keep himself safe, and he has no time to control other people.

As soon as the explosion stopped, the squadron leader got up from the ground and continued to rush towards the trench...

After finally jumping into the trench, the shells that flew towards the open space behind them seemed to have eyes, and all turned their targets and smashed into the trench.

Some hit the edge of the trench and exploded, some smashed into the trench, and one shell took away several lives in the trench...

…………

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Major General Kawasaki, the head of the brigade, was dreaming sweet dreams on the bed, with a smile on his lips since the early morning.

At two o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The sweet dream was interrupted, and Major General Kawasaki frowned instantly. Just as he was about to swear at the door, Lieutenant Cun Shang's anxious voice came in: "Brigade Commander, something serious happened..."

"The commando team was attacked, the enemy's situation is unknown, and now two commando teams have lost contact..."

"Nani?"

Major General Kawasaki couldn't sit still, he swallowed back the words he was about to curse, put on his military uniform and walked towards the door.

Opening the door, he went straight to the war room before Cun Shangzuo could speak, asking questions as he walked.

"What's the specific situation?"

"The commando just hit the Eighth Route Army under the cover of the plane yesterday during the day, and returned with a big victory. How could it be attacked?"

"The Eighth Route Army shouldn't have retaliated against us... They have been attacked by commandos one after another. The troops have suffered heavy losses and their morale is in turmoil. Shouldn't they think of ways to protect themselves now, how to block our next round of attacks, how can they take the initiative to rush into the occupied area to attack and attack Team, are they crazy..."

"Could you be mistaken..."

Cunshang Lieutenant followed closely behind the head of the brigade, and reported as he walked: "The humble officer dares to use his own head to guarantee that something must have happened to the commando who lost contact."

"Half an hour ago, a commando suddenly sent a telegram. They were attacked by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army. The opponent was equipped with a large number of mortars and infantry artillery. The troops suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements."

"Just in case, I immediately asked the operator to contact the other five commandos. As a result, two of the commandos have lost contact. No matter what method we use, we can't contact them."

"The commando who asked us for help also lost contact 10 minutes ago and came to report."

"The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong likes to attack instead of defending. I guess they want to repeat the old trick again, eat up a few of our commandos through active attack, disrupt us, and let the troops have no time to attack their base areas."

"Did you send troops to reinforce the commandos that were attacked?" Major General Kawasaki became nervous after hearing the introduction, and asked anxiously.

Cunshang Zhongzuo shook his head: "The humble officer is worried that the Eighth Route Army will surround the road for reinforcements, and I dare not send troops without an order from the chief."

Major General Kawasaki let out a long sigh of relief, and said with relief on his face: "You have done a good job, and we must not rush to send reinforcements before we figure out the specific situation."

"The offensive and defensive battle in Yi County was because we were too self-righteous and lost several gun troops. We must not make the same mistake a second time."

"Contact the remaining three commandos immediately and ask them to step up their guard. Without my order, no one can leave their respective stations."

The two of them walked into the war room while talking.

The three commandos who were attacked and their strongholds have been marked on the map. Major General Kawasaki can see it at a glance, and he is more determined in his judgment.

Pointing to the three strongholds that were attacked, he analyzed: "As expected, the Eighth Route Army that attacked the commando team was encircling the spot for reinforcements."

"Look at the sand table, the three strongholds that were attacked are not next to each other, and there is exactly one commando separated from each other."

"If the brigade headquarters issues a reinforcement order, the remaining three commandos can just split up and reinforce the three strongholds, giving the Eighth Route Army a good chance to defeat us one by one."

Cunshang Zhongzuo broke out in cold sweat when he heard it.

He already had the idea of ​​sending troops to reinforce the battlefield just now, but fortunately he held back at the last moment, otherwise the remaining three commandos on the battlefield would suffer misfortune because of his wrong command, and that would be a crime. The position of chief of staff will be lost.

Quickly interjected, wanting the head of the brigade to bypass this topic as soon as possible: "General, what shall we do next?"

"Wait until dawn..." Major General Kawasaki couldn't think of a good solution, and looked at Zhongzuo Cunakami with a helpless expression on his face.

"There are still more than four hours before dawn, and I am worried that the three commandos under attack will not be able to withstand it?" The chief of staff, Cun Shangzhong Zuo, answered with a puzzled face.
