The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 653
In the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Ningji Okamura sat at the main seat in the conference room. Major General Kawasaki and Major General Fujita transferred from the Kwantung Army sat on both sides.

Some people look eager to try, some people look worried, some people are calm, and there are all kinds of expressions.

Okamura Ningji's gaze stayed on everyone's face for two seconds, and finally stopped on Major General Kawasaki, and said with a majestic expression: "Everyone, the troops sweeping the base of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong have been assembled, and I have decided to formally dispatch troops tomorrow morning..."

"All sweeping troops must strictly implement the combat plan. Any troops participating in the war must not underestimate the enemy's carelessness, let alone advance alone, and let the enemy take advantage of it."

"The troops marched in unison, gradually reducing the living space of the Eighth Route Army in the wings, and finally encircled them in Shunping, and then gathered and wiped them out."

"Kawasaki-kun..."

"Hai..." Major General Kawasaki stood up respectfully.

"I'll give you five infantry brigades, a field artillery brigade, two tank squadrons, a cavalry brigade, and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, attacking from the left flank, sweeping Tang County and Wangdu, and annihilating the Eighth Route Army active there. "

"If we can't wipe them all out, we must drive them to Shunping, take back Tang County and Wangdu completely, destroy the bases we established there, and restore the imperial army's dominance over the two counties."

Although Major General Kawasaki did not receive the main attack mission, as long as he can successfully regain Tang County and Wangdu, it is still a great achievement.

Looking at Neiji Okamura, he was very satisfied and said: "Please rest assured, Commander, I promise to complete the task."

Neiji Okamura immediately turned his attention to the regiment captain transferred from Shanxi, and gave a serious order: "Mr. Harada, I will give you four infantry brigades, one mountain artillery brigade, two tank squadrons, one cavalry brigade, and one regiment." The Imperial Association Army launched an attack from the left, sweeping across Yi County and Manchuria."

"Major General Fujita commanded two main regiments, two tank squadrons, a cavalry brigade, and a heavy artillery brigade. They launched an attack from the front and went straight to Shunpei."

"Your task is the most important. Not only must you wipe out the Shunping garrison regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but you must also capture Shunping County in the shortest possible time, and go straight to Chenzhuang, the only way the Eighth Route Army must pass in and out of the mountains. Take it down and hold it at all costs. The two garrison regiments in Mancheng and Wangdu are blocked outside the mountain."

"Cooperate with the two left-wing mopping forces to gather them and wipe them out."

…………

"Boom boom boom..."

The landmines buried on the road by the Shunping garrison regiment were constantly detonated by the puppet army, and an infantry company was quickly bombed and suffered heavy casualties.

The remaining puppet soldiers were terrified of being bombed, and their feet seemed to be tied with weights, and they walked slower and slower.

"Bang bang bang..."

The little devils who supervised the battle in the back didn't care about this, and kept pulling the trigger, killing the puppet soldiers who were afraid of going forward, as an example to others.

"Lian Zuo, the Japanese are too cruel, they don't treat their brothers as human beings. If we continue to walk, all the brothers in our company will be killed." The deputy company commander of the puppet army said to the company commander with grief and indignation.

"The Japanese made it clear that they want us to be cannon fodder. If we continue to move forward, we may be injured by landmines and save our lives. If we are afraid, we will be shot by the little devils. If we want to blame us, we chose the wrong way. We shouldn't eat Traitor this bowl of rice."

"Boom boom boom..."

Three explosions sounded again, and another seven or eight soldiers were killed and injured, and fell to the ground screaming.

It was a very lucky thing for the company commander to feel injured for the first time, and he was very envious of those wounded who fell to the ground.

Although the pain was unbearable, he saved his life after all.

Although I am living well, no one knows when the next landmine will explode under my feet.

Half an hour later, all the puppet troops of a company fell, and no one stood still.

The company commander of the puppet army was very unlucky, he happened to step on a landmine, his entire lower body was blown up, internal organs leaked everywhere, and he died on the spot.

The Japanese didn't feel sorry for these puppet troops who were killed and injured by the bombing, and soon a new full-staffed company was sent to the front of the team to continue mine clearance.

Taipingzhuang was Huang Yu's first anti-sweeping battlefield prepared for the devils.

Four trenches with an interval of more than 200 meters are across the entrance of the village. The trenches are connected by traffic trenches. Looking down from the air, there are criss-cross trenches everywhere at the entrance of the village, ensuring that the troops can move from the village to any corner of the position without showing their heads.

Of course, these are all positions that the devils can see at a glance. Their purpose is not only to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, but also to confuse the Japanese and puppet troops and make them think of underestimating the enemy.

Huang Yu really relies on the ground.

Each trench has more than a dozen entrances and exits leading to the tunnel fortifications. Three main tunnels run through four surface trenches. In case the ground communication trenches are destroyed, troops can quickly transfer and retreat through the underground passages.

The only twenty or so firepower points on the position are also connected by tunnel crossings to ensure that the machine gun team can quickly transfer to the tunnel fortifications after being targeted by the Devils.

Not to mention in the village, the corners, firewood piles, kitchens... the places that everyone can think of, and the places you can't think of, may be the entrances and exits of tunnels.

As long as the little devil dares to enter the village, he may be attacked from all directions.

There are two battlefield headquarters, one is behind a broken wall at the entrance of the village, and the other is underground.

When Huang Yu checked the possible defense loopholes against the tunnel design drawings, the cavalry scouts suddenly rushed over: "Regimental Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops are coming soon."

"The Japanese let the puppet army go to the front to detonate the landmines, and the main force followed closely. Whoever stepped forward would be shot. As a result, our landmines almost did not hurt a little devil, and all the puppet troops were blown up, and the Japanese and puppet troops were not affected. marching speed."

"When I came over, the puppet troops of the two regiments had lost one and a half companies."

"When they get here, they will definitely lose another company."

Huang Yu didn't show any disappointment on his face. He shook his head and replied calmly: "The puppet army is also an enemy. When we use landmines to blow up all the puppet troops in the two regiments, the little devil will have no cannon fodder. In case of danger, he can only fight by himself." superior."

"Let the troops prepare for combat. Except for the security troops, all others will retreat into the tunnel."

"The Japanese and puppet troops came menacingly. In addition to the common mortars and infantry artillery, they also brought a large number of field artillery and heavy artillery. The planes in the sky are not vegetarian. Without my order, no one can enter the surface position, even if it is the first time. It doesn't matter if a trench is lost."

"Commander, what about our artillery?" Huang Yushan, the commander of the artillery company, asked anxiously.

Although he was only the commander of the mountain gun company of the Shunping garrison regiment, he was equipped with more than twenty cannons.

As an artilleryman for so many years, it was the first time that I commanded so many artillery pieces at the same time, and I wanted to go to the battlefield immediately in my heart more than anyone else.

"Live in wait..." Huang Yu said bluntly without raising his head.

"There are little devil planes above our heads during the day, and if the artillery is exposed, it means death. We have to wait until dark to show our heads."

…………

Half an hour later, the forward troops of the Japanese and puppet troops appeared at the end of the road. At the same time, they saw the blocking position built by the garrison at the entrance of the village. They stopped at a position 500 meters away from the blocking position, established a defensive line on the spot, and waited for the follow-up main force.

After a while, the main force of the mighty Japanese and puppet troops came into Huang Yu's field of vision.

"The Imperial Association Army dispatched a company, and the Imperial Army dispatched two combat units to test the strength of the Eighth Route Army on the ground..." Major General Fujita, the head of the brigade, glanced at the battlefield and began to give orders.

He came from the Kwantung Army and had never fought against the Yizhong Eighth Route Army. He still followed the rules step by step, sending troops to launch a tentative attack first, and then launching a strong attack after confirming the opponent's strength.

If Major General Kawasaki is here to command, he will definitely use artillery fire and planes to bomb him when he comes up.

Many times of practice has proved that the imperial army's probing attacks are not only unable to find out the opponent's strength, but also very likely to lose his wife and lose his army.

The Baoding garrison has suffered too many losses in this area and will not make the same mistake again.

Major General Fujita didn't know, and still planned to use the three-axe attack method that the imperial army was best at to take Taipingzhuang.

He raised his binoculars as soon as the exploratory troops set off.

The blocking position was quiet, not even a single person was there.

Major General Fujita looked more and more strange, just when he thought that there was no one in the blocking position and he was deceived by the Eighth Route Army, the familiar sound of firefighting suddenly reached his ears.

The gunfire was very chaotic, mostly rifled machine guns, and the probing troops were like a piece of ripe wheat, being beaten to death continuously.

The Japanese who were walking behind the puppet army were obviously attacked by the opponent, and more than half of them were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.

Major General Fujita has been staring at the blocking position, trying to lock the firepower point on the position and provide shooting elements for the artillery support for a while.

As a result, I searched around and couldn't find a heavy machine gun.

The test troops were running out, and there were no heavy machine guns in the blocking position to join the battle. No matter how stupid Major General Fujita was, he knew that the test troops had failed, and his expression sank instantly. He chose to ignore the dozens of remaining soldiers of the test troops on the spot, and ordered with a murderous look on his face: " The artillery immediately opened fire and razed the blocking position in front of me to the ground."

"The aviation unit joined the battle at the same time, destroying the communication trenches behind the blocking position, cutting off the passage for the Eighth Route Army to send troops to reinforce the blocking position, and annihilating all the defenders on the position."

The Kwantung Army's combat literacy was very high, and the bombardment order was issued within ten seconds, and the sound of violent explosions had already spread in the blocking position.

Mud splashed, smoke billowed, and even the retaining logs in the trench were uprooted...

The soil piled on the edge of the trench was instantly blasted into a large pit, which was two meters deep.

"Buzzing..."

Three planes joined the battle at the same time, roaring and launching a dive towards the ground, and the aerial bomb broke away from the fuselage and smashed into the traffic trench with a loud scream.

Thick smoke billowed and flames splashed. Compared with heavy artillery shells, aerial bombs were more than ten times more powerful. A four-meter-deep crater was instantly blown out at the point of impact, and the traffic trench next to it was also razed to the ground, making it impossible to leave.

Another plane swooped down towards the ground at the same time and dropped an aerial bomb when it was more than 200 meters above the ground.

"Rumble..."

A thunderous explosion soon sounded in the blocking position, and billowing thick smoke rose directly into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud tens of meters high over the position.
