The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 644

Only when Huang Yu arrived at the headquarters did he realize that the loss of the regiment headquarters was far greater than expected.

The regiment headquarters was bombed, the chief of staff died, and a recruit company stationed at the regiment headquarters also suffered heavy casualties in the bombing.

At the same time, the five villages that were bombed also had three recruit companies stationed there, and more than half of them suffered casualties.

In addition to the civilians who were killed and injured by the bombing, the number of military and civilian casualties in the base area once again exceeded 500.

"What a ruthless little devil, he didn't even spare the unarmed common people. Obviously, he wanted to avenge us for eating four of their commando teams last night. He was too careless." Huang Yu frowned, expressing remorse.

"Immediately send a telegram to the Mancheng and Wangdu garrison regiments. As soon as it gets dark, they will move their headquarters away from the villages and towns, so as to prevent the little devils from launching another air strike and accidentally injuring ordinary people."

"Our raids against the Japanese-occupied areas will continue."

"Tonight, the three garrison groups must take down three little devil strongholds for me, no matter how big or small they are."

"Tit for tat, we must avenge the more than 1000 soldiers and civilians who just died in the base area, so that the Baoding puppet army will also feel the pressure, and we will see whether their bombing is powerful or our infantry raid is better."

"Only by beating them painfully and fearing them will they not dare to carry out indiscriminate bombing of the base areas again and accidentally injure the people in the base areas."

…………

Outside Yi County, the field artillery battalion led by Kong Jie is setting up artillery.

Four companies with sixteen field guns, with the company as a unit, were set up about one kilometer away from the four city gates.

The more than 1000 troops were also divided into four, and they followed their respective battalion and company commanders towards the city gate tower a little bit.

When there were 600 meters away from Chengtou, the mortar troops attacking with the team stopped, and soon erected eight mortars on the spot, with black holes pointing directly at the top of the city.

After the attacking troops moved forward for more than 200 meters, several heavy machine gun teams also stopped, set up heavy machine guns scatteredly, aimed at the head of the city, and prepared to provide close-range fire cover for the siege troops, suppressing all those who wanted to get out from the crenel. The Japanese puppet army in the head.

"Start..." Kong Jie looked at the east gate of Yi County and ordered coldly.

The four wild cannons let out several roars in an instant, and the shells were wrapped in flames to abolish the shells, and then crashed into the city gate tower and battlements with a scream.

Flames splashed, smoke billowed, and the wooden gatehouse on the top of the city was instantly blown apart, collapsing into a pair of ruins.

Several Japanese and puppet soldiers who hid and slept in the city gate tower were buried in the ruins before they could open their eyes.

Only then did the roaring explosion reach Kong Jie's ears.

"Boom boom boom..."

Eight mortars were mounted at a position 500 meters in front, and the field guns joined the battle as soon as they fired. Four shells were accurately planted on the top of the city, and in the splashing fire, the picture of the two Japanese and puppet troops being blown away was clear.

"Dong dong dong..."

Five heavy machine guns joined the battle, bullets rained on the battlements like money, sparks flew everywhere, and gravel flew everywhere.

A small number of bullets just passed through the battlements and flew up to the top of the city.

If a little devil happens to pass through the crenel to observe the enemy's situation, he will definitely be shot in the face and die on the spot.

"Comrades, kill me..."

More than 300 soldiers from the two companies jumped up from the ground, armed with rifles and packs of explosives, and rushed towards the gate of the city screaming like tigers.

There are more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Yi County, with a regiment of more than 900 imperial association troops and two reinforced squadrons of more than 400 devils. The combat effectiveness is not bad.

To defend the county seat, as long as the opponent is not equipped with heavy weapons, he should be able to persist until dawn.

As a result, in order to gather enough elites to sweep the Yizhong base, Baoding City exchanged [-] recruits for a well-trained reinforced squadron, and exchanged [-] recruits from the Second Devils who had not received any training for a battalion of veterans.

It seems that the total strength of the Yixian garrison has not changed, because the proportion of recruits is too high, and the combat effectiveness has not yet formed, and the overall combat effectiveness has dropped by at least [-]%.

The assault team was attacked last night and suffered heavy losses, causing all the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding to focus on the three garrison regiments of Mancheng, Wangdu, and Shunping of the Eighth Route Army, and the Yixian garrison was no exception.

In addition, there was no commando activity in Yi County, although it was bordered by the Wangdu Defense Regiment, it was not Deng Jingye's main attack direction, and his vigilance was much lax than usual.

Only fifty Japanese and puppet troops were assigned to be on duty on each city wall, and the puppet troops were the main ones.

Other Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the barracks in the city, and reinforced the city at any time.

Although the military camp is very close to the city, it will take time for the Japanese and puppet troops to gather troops and kill the city....

As soon as Kong Jie made a move, sixteen field artillery pieces and more than 30 mortars bombarded the top of the city, not giving the Japanese and puppet troops any chance to dispatch troops, obviously wanting to rush into the city before the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops rushed to the top of the city. .

Once the troops entered the city, it would be easy to take down Yi County, and the pressure of the next battle would be much less.

The city defense fortifications still have great advantages for the Japanese and puppet troops. If the two sides keep fighting around the city defense fortifications and start a battle, the casualties of the siege troops must be very large.

…………

The Japanese Garrison Command in Yi County has become a mess.

The captain didn't even wear a military uniform, and rushed to the war room with an anxious expression on his face.

He is a veteran, and judging the enemy's strength by the sound of firefights is the most basic quality.

As soon as you hear the sound of the cannon, you know that the opponent's artillery is several times more than your own.

There are very few troops at the top of the city, and the reinforcements must rush to the top of the city before they are wiped out, otherwise the top of the city will be lost.

After entering the door, he ordered to a group of chaotic subordinates: "Except for the reserve team, all the garrison troops in the city will go to the top of the city, hurry up..."

"Immediately find out the specific identity and equipment status of the siege troops, and I will report the battle situation to the brigade commander."

"The entire city of Yi County is under martial law. Except for the troops participating in the war, no one is allowed to leave their homes and take to the streets. Anyone who violates the order will be shot immediately."

The Dongmen garrison in Yi County was less than 200 meters away from the city wall. As soon as the cannon rang, the little devils in the garrison took up their weapons and ammunition and ran to the training ground as if they had been spayed with chicken blood.

The reaction of the puppet army was much slower, and they were even a little passive, relying on the supervision of the company platoon leader to rush to the training ground to assemble in a panic.

Three minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and with a wave of his hand, the lieutenant led them towards the city.

The place has already been bombarded with artillery fire, and the troops on duty must have suffered heavy casualties, and it will be too late if they don't go there.

As a result, as soon as they rushed to the entrance of the station, a thunderous explosion sounded suddenly in the city gate, the flames splashed, and thick smoke billowed out of the city gate at the same time.

A bad premonition quickly appeared in the lieutenant's mind, and he ordered anxiously: "No, the city gate was bombed..."

"Load the bullets, and drive out the Eighth Route Army who rushed into the county at all costs...kill them..."

The commander's knife in the lieutenant's hand pointed at the city gate at the same time, and his steps became faster and faster, trying to quickly reach the city gate and block the blasted city gate.

"Da da da……"

The familiar sound of machine gun fire suddenly sounded in the city gate, and the bullets flew head-on, and the two men in the front fell to the ground.

Lieutenant Guizi threw himself on the ground subconsciously. Just as he was about to summon his subordinates to fight back, the gunshots in the city gate suddenly became more intense, and more and more subordinates were killed in front.

Although the puppet army is the best candidate to serve as cannon fodder and block bullets for the Japanese, their assault speed is too slow.

If they are allowed to take the lead, it is very likely that the troops will not even have a chance to rush to the top of the city.

In order to quickly get to the top of the city and guard the east gate, the lieutenant decisively let the Japanese run ahead.

They did not let themselves down, the puppet army had not yet run out of the station, they had already rushed out of the station for 50 meters, and the reinforcement speed was more than doubled.

But it also had another consequence.

If there is the Eighth Route Army blocking the way directly in front, the troops under its command will bear the brunt and be the first to be attacked, and taste the taste of being cannon fodder.

The scene in front of him was the last thing the lieutenant wanted to see.

The rain of bullets blocking the way flew towards us, and the reinforcements were like ripe wheat, being swept to the ground one by one, and more than a dozen died in the blink of an eye, which made the lieutenant heartbroken.

"Da da da……"

The gunfire in the city gate was still going on, and the light machine guns kept firing as if they couldn't run out of bullets, with no intention of stopping at all.

The lieutenant hurriedly called his subordinates to fight back, but before the machine gunner could pull the trigger, a row of four Eighth Route Army machine gunners rushed out of the city gate and appeared in front of them.

The machine gun was hung on the chest as a submachine gun, and he rushed forward while robbing.

Followed by four machine gunners, in the same attire, ready to come up on the bench and continue to attack at any time, so as to ensure the continuous output of firepower from the attacking troops.

"Ba Geya Road, the Eighth Route Army is about to enter the city, counterattack immediately, kill them, kill them, shoot..."

"Da da da..." The squadron leader finally heard the sound of his own light machine gun firing.

The two Eighth Route Army machine gunners rushing forward fell to the ground, but this also attracted the attention of other Eighth Route Army machine gunners.

The fired bullets flew towards the machine gun that had just fired beside him.

The machine gunner and the two sub-shooters didn't even have a chance to dodge. They were smashed into a sieve in an instant, and the machine guns fell sideways.

…………

After the Baoding Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters confirmed that the Duer Regiment headquarters had been destroyed by aviation, Major General Kawasaki immediately felt a lot better.

Neiji Okamura proposed the plan to use guerrilla warfare to attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. Now that it has failed, the commander has more or less to bear some responsibility, and the responsibility assigned to himself will be much less.

Now that he has the merits of destroying the regiment headquarters of the Duer Regiment, and the merits and demerits are offset, it will definitely be no problem to keep the position of the brigade commander under his buttocks.

Just when he was about to lie down and sleep, the hurried knock on the door reached his ears again.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Major General Kawasaki was almost frightened by this kind of knock on the door.

He opened the door and walked to the war room, asking as he walked, "What happened again? I'm so anxious that I can't even sleep well."

"General, the Yixian garrison sends an urgent message: They are being attacked violently by the Eighth Route Army. The opponent is equipped with a large number of mortars and field artillery. The garrison has already suffered heavy casualties and cannot last long. I hope the brigade headquarters will immediately deploy heavy troops to reinforce them."

"Yixian..." Major General Kawasaki has been focusing on the front line these days. It has been a long time since he heard the word Yi County. He almost forgot where the front line is. He stared at the sand table and scanned twice before locking on to Yi County. Location.
