The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 654 Our Chance Has Come (Second)
Twenty or ten minutes later, the two infantry squadrons and the puppet troops of the two companies rushed out of the offensive position, lined up in four skirmish lines, and rushed towards the blocking position like a wave.

The place has been blown blind, and there are big pits one or two meters deep everywhere, and the trenches have also been blown up with gaps everywhere, and there is almost no trace.

The only thing that Major General Fujita couldn't figure out was that there was not a corpse of the Eighth Route Army around the crater, which was too strange.

When the artillery fired, the Eighth Route Army was holding its ground to attack the probing troops, and it must have been too late to retreat. It stands to reason that the Eighth Route Army would have died under the artillery fire just now, but it didn't.

If you don't understand it, you can't understand it. Major General Fujita's determination to win the blocking position has not changed.

Moreover, he is very confident in the combat effectiveness of his troops. Even if the opponent really sets up a trap in the blocking position, they are [-]% sure to take it down.

As the attacking troops got closer and closer to each other, the imaginary sound of firefighting did not appear, and no gunshot was heard until the offensive troops took down the blocking position.

"General, there isn't a single Eighth Route Army on the ground, should we continue to attack the second line of defense..." the captain of the First Battalion of the attacking force said happily.

The attacking troops took down the first blocking position of the Eighth Route Army without a single soldier. It was absolutely suffocated by accident. They couldn't help thinking of underestimating the enemy, and felt that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong was not as terrible as the Baoding Garrison reported.

If they are really powerful, how can they be defeated by a single artillery fire cover?

Major General Fujita saw what his subordinates were thinking, and he was also a very arrogant person.

The Kwantung Army is known as the army with the strongest combat effectiveness. It is difficult for him not to be proud of holding such an elite army.

After confirming that the attacking troops had really captured the blocking position, after the Eighth Route Army gave up the position during the shelling, the contempt for the Eighth Route Army in the wings was no less than that of its subordinates, and I felt that they were the same.

Looking at the battlefield, he replied arrogantly: "Of course we must continue to attack with all our strength..."

"The artillery immediately covered the second blocking position of the Eighth Route Army with artillery fire for 10 minutes. As soon as the shelling ended, the infantry launched an attack. The momentum was overwhelming and Taipingzhuang was captured within two hours."

…………

The ground command of the Shunping garrison saw the Japanese and puppet troops occupying the first line of defense without firing a single shot. Wang Lin, the chief of staff, remembered sweating profusely, and looked at Huang Yu with a puzzled face and asked: "Regiment commander, the first battalion There was almost no loss in the artillery coverage just now, why they were not allowed to enter the position to fight the devils, I can't figure it out."

"They are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns. The Japanese and puppet troops have only more than 500 people in total. If you put the enemy close and fire, you will definitely be able to repel them and hold your position."

"The position can indeed be held, but our [-]st Battalion will also be finished in the battle." Huang Yu stared at the battlefield and explained.

"Impossible..." Wang Lin retorted firmly, shaking his head like a rattle.

"As soon as the devils withdraw, the first battalion will take advantage of the situation and hide in the tunnel. Even if the little devil's plane drops all the aerial bombs it brought, it won't hurt many of us. Don't you worry too much?"

Huang Yu replied again: "We are facing the Kwantung Army of the little devils, not the original garrison."

"Not only is he rich in combat experience, but also has strong combat effectiveness, and the combat is also particularly ruthless."

"To fight against such an enemy, we must be cautious and not give them any chance."

"Do you still remember the battle when the first battalion just raided the little devils to test the troops? There were still dozens of Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield insisting on fighting, but the little devils' artillery fire came as soon as they said it, regardless of the safety of the dozens of soldiers in the test troops. "

"If the first battalion sticks to the ground and takes the devils to attack the troops, the artillery coverage just now suddenly comes up again, how many people do you think the first battalion can have left?"

"There were heavy casualties, almost losing combat effectiveness..." Wang Lin answered with a mask on his face, obviously not considering this, and his face became particularly dignified at this moment.

After a few seconds of silence, he continued to ask: "What about the two, three, and four lines of defense?"

"If you don't dare to fight head-on because you are worried that the devils will launch a suicide attack, you will definitely lose the defense lines in the back, and you will be unable to fight the next battle."

Huang Yu is very confident: "The Devil's Kwantung Army has strong combat capabilities and rich combat experience... These are all advantages. But they also have shortcomings. As long as we catch one, the troops can take the opportunity to launch a counterattack and give them a fatal attack."

Wang Lin frowned again: "Shortcomings? The Kwantung Army also has shortcomings, why didn't I find out..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Just as Huang Yu was about to answer the call, the sound of explosions from the second blocking position just reached his ears. He glanced at the intensity of the artillery fire on the battlefield and laughed.

"This artillery cover is the shortcoming of the little devil..."

"Our chance has come. I ordered the first battalion to prepare for a counterattack immediately. When I saw the signal flare that I shot into the sky, I drilled out of the artillery hole and cooperated with the second battalion to eliminate the Japanese and puppet attacking troops."

"The speed must be fast, and strive to end the battle within one minute, and withdraw after the fight is over, without giving the enemy any time to react."

"Back to the tunnel fortifications, except for the secret tunnel entrance, immediately blow up all other tunnel entrances and exits connected to the first trench, so that the devils can't find their opponents if they want to take revenge."

In less than 2 minutes, the second blocking position was completely covered by artillery fire, and billowing thick smoke quickly filled the entire blocking position, making it impossible to see your fingers.

In order to reduce the loss of troops on the offensive road, the Japanese and puppet troops will reduce the attack distance as much as possible when preparing artillery fire.

The immediate battle is no exception.

The puppet troops of the two companies were the first to be driven out of the first-line position just occupied by the little devil, bent over, holding guns, and slowly moved towards the second-line position.

More than 300 little devils followed closely behind, not aware of the threat from under their feet at all.

Huang Yu stared at the gang of Japanese and puppet troops without blinking his eyes. As soon as the devils left the trench, three red flares were shot into the sky by Huang Yu.

The entrances and exits of several tunnels hidden in the trenches that were not destroyed by the bombardment were slowly opened. The machine gunner took the lead and drilled out of the tunnel with a light machine gun full of bullets. behind.

The riflemen were all holding hand grenades with their fuses drawn, ready to fire and throw them at any moment.

The sound of artillery covered all the whereabouts of the first battalion, and in a short while more than 200 soldiers were ready for the assault.

Battalion Commander Chen Jia was in the middle of the team, with a box gun full of bullets stuck in his waist, and a pendulum full of bullets in his arms.

Gently open the safety of the machine gun, pull the bolt, and then slowly extend the muzzle of the machine gun out of the trench, aiming at the back of the little devil who is close at hand.

The enemy was more than 20 meters away, bent over, carefully staring at the second-line blocking position that was being covered by artillery fire, and none of the devils noticed behind him.

"Da da da……"

The light machine gun Chen Jia was holding in his arms suddenly fired, and the bullets flew towards the little devil's back in a fan shape, and at least three devils fell to the ground in response.

The more than 200 soldiers in the first battalion were carefully selected by Chen Jia, with strong combat effectiveness and good equipment.

Each main company of the first battalion was equipped with seven light machine guns, and the guard platoon directly under the battalion headquarters was equipped with three. All won a total of 24 machine guns, all of which were brought out.

At the same time, they fired at the devil's back. One machine gun killed three little devils, that's sixty or seventy little devils, and this was just the first round of rapid fire from the machine gunner.

The gunfire continued, and more and more bullet cups were shot out.

The Japanese and puppet troops faced the first battalion with their backs. Even if they lay down at the first moment, their backs were still facing the first battalion. They could not fight back immediately, but the first battalion was not affected.

The position of the Japanese and puppet troops is also very unfavorable. The ground is bare, without even a shell crater. Even if they lie on the ground, part of their body is still exposed to the guns of the first battalion.

As long as the bullets fired by the first battalion are dense enough, a blind cat can kill a lot of people by killing a mouse.

The moment the gunshots sounded, nearly 200 grenades flew out of the trench one after another, hitting the Japanese and puppet troops.

The reason why they didn't fly out of the trench at the same time was not because everyone threw the grenade in time, but because of the technical gap between the new veterans in throwing the grenade.

The recruits can't grasp the timing of the explosion of the grenade. To be safe, they will throw it out if they pull the fire.Although the throwing time was very early, they all exploded on the ground. As long as the Japanese and puppet soldiers lay down with their heads in their arms, the damage caused by the grenade to them could be minimized.

The veteran has rich experience, and after pulling the fire, he will stay in his hand for two or three seconds before throwing it out.

The throwing time will be relatively late, but these grenades will basically explode in the air.

Fragments fell from the sky, no matter whether the Japanese and puppet troops were lying on their stomachs or standing, they couldn't hide, and they could increase the lethality of grenades to the extreme.

The sound of explosions kept ringing in front of my eyes, one after another, and after three rounds of more than 600 grenades all exploded, the area where the Japanese and puppet troops were located was completely covered by gunpowder, and there were screams everywhere.

And all this in less than 20 seconds.

Before the Japanese and puppet troops could react from the trap, more than 200 soldiers hiding in the trenches had already begun to retreat, rushing to the nearest tunnel entrance and exit with the fastest speed.

After all the soldiers entered the tunnel, the platoon leader at the back of the hall took out two grenades, fired them, and threw them at the entrance of the tunnel. Taking three steps at a time, he quickly drilled into the deepest part of the tunnel.

"Rumble..."

The explosion soon sounded behind him, and countless soils fell from the entrance of the tunnel, completely blocking the entrance and exit.

Even if the Japanese and puppet troops found this place, they would never have imagined that it used to be a tunnel entrance, and there was a tunnel leading to Taipingzhuang hidden five or six meters below.

As the smoke cleared, the Japanese and puppet troops that had been raided were slowly exposed to both the enemy and us.

The small battlefield is like a hell on earth. The whole ground is stained red with blood, and there are bombed corpses, minced meat, and broken limbs everywhere.

There were still many Japanese and puppet soldiers who were not dying, and they fell to the ground, and every time their bodies squirmed, they let out heart-piercing screams.

More Japanese and puppet soldiers fell here motionless, obviously dead.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The shells with the screaming sound quickly smashed into the ditch where the first battalion had just hid, and after a while it became filled with gunpowder.

Major General Fujita clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and his entire face was replaced by anger. He stared at the front and back of the trenches covered by artillery fire, wishing to tear the Eighth Route Army that appeared just now.
