The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"General..." The captain of the first brigade walked up to Major General Fujita with his head down. Compared with the high-spirited attacking troops who occupied the first line of defense of the Eighth Route Army just now, he was a completely different person.

"Say..." Major General Fujita asked, suppressing the anger bubbling from his heart.

"The Eighth Route Army that raided the back of the attacking troops ran away..." the team leader reported solemnly.

"After the surviving soldiers of the attacking force retreated to their positions, except for a few tunnel entrances and bullet casings that were blown down, not a single corpse of the Eighth Route Army was found."

"Before I thought that the tunnels that the Baoding garrison told us were exaggerated, now it seems that we have underestimated the enemy."

"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army not only dug tunnels in the villages, but also dug tunnels in the positions."

"When the offensive troops occupied the first trench, the Eighth Route Army's defensive troops hid in the tunnels and could not come out."

"Wait for the attacking troops to attack the second line of defense, suddenly come out of the tunnel, surprise the attacking troops from behind, make a quick decision, retreat from the tunnel after the fight, and destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits before leaving, unless it takes time to dig out the collapsed Tunnel crossing, otherwise we will have no way to chase after it.”

Major General Fujita asked with a sullen face, "Are there any serious casualties for the attacking troops?"

The captain lowered his head and was very embarrassed to report: "There is less than one squadron left in the two infantry squadrons...there are two platoons left in the Royal Association Army of the two companies, and there are more than 400 direct casualties."

"idiot……"

Major General Fujita became angrier the more he listened, staring at a pair of big red eyes, gnashing his teeth and cursing: "So many shells have been fired, so many troops have been lost, and even a single Eighth Route Army has not been wiped out."

"I have fought for so many years, and I have never been so aggrieved like today. It is simply unreasonable."

"The artillery continued to attack the second line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, reorganized the offensive troops, and started to attack in 10 minutes. Be sure to take it down for me."

"There are tunnel entrances and exits left by the Eighth Route Army on the first line of defense, and there must be one on the second line of defense."

"With the second line of defense, we can enter the tunnel through the entrance and exit of the tunnel and eliminate the Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnel."

Major General Fujita was in a fit of anger, and urgently needed to find the Eighth Route Army to vent his anger. The captain didn't dare to touch his brow at this time, so he hurried to make arrangements.

…………

At the ground command of the garrison regiment, Huang Yu is also making targeted deployments for the new round of attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops.

As soon as he was about to give an order, Wang Lin put down the phone with a smile: "Regimental Commander, Commander Chen of the First Battalion called. They didn't sacrifice a single person in the raid just now, but they eliminated more than 200 little devils, 100 Multiple puppet troops."

"They implored the regiment headquarters to continue to let them defend the second line of defense, and use the same method to severely damage the Japanese and puppet offensive troops again."

"Is he dreaming?" Huang Yu said angrily.

"It's true that the commanders of the puppet army were fools. Just now they killed more than 400 people, and immediately made mistakes on the same issue... No, it should be that fools are not so stupid..."

"Let them immediately retreat to the third line of defense and be ready to face the Japanese and puppet troops head-on."

"Contact Wei Dayong immediately, I want to talk to him personally."

After a while, Wang Lin sent the connected phone to Huang Yu, and Wei Dayong's report sounded through the receiver: "Regimental Commander, the Second Battalion is ready for battle, please give orders!"

"Is it Wei Dayong..." Huang Yu said bluntly.

"The Japanese have already suffered a tunnel loss in Chen Jia's hands. After the next battle, if they win a position, they will check one to prevent us from digging out of the tunnel again and kill them all."

"I decided to stick to the second road and rest assured. After repelling the first round of Japanese and puppet attacks, the second battalion withdrew from the position and destroyed all the tunnel entrances and exits except the secret entrance."

"Is there any problem with your second battalion? Can it withstand the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops under the combined attack of the devil's plane and heavy artillery, and severely damage their attacking troops?"

Wei Dayong was a man who refused to admit defeat, and couldn't stand a little stimulation, so he replied immediately: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, the people are in the position, and I promise to repel the first attack of the Japanese and puppet troops and hold the second line of defense."

After speaking, he put down the microphone and rushed to the troops.

Huang Yu immediately put down the microphone and raised the binoculars again to look at the battlefield.

Wang Lin followed him, and asked worriedly, "Regimental Commander, let the Second Battalion stick to their positions now, so you don't have to worry about the little devils using the attacking troops as bait to bombard the Second Battalion with concentrated artillery fire, and stage a scene where we all die together."

"That depends on whether the leader of the little devil brigade has the determination and courage." Huang Yu thought about it for a while and analyzed.

"When defending the first line of defense, the Japanese and puppet troops were abundant and urgently needed a good start to boost the morale of the troops. It was very likely that the first battalion would bombard the blocking position while the first battalion was fighting and severely damage the first battalion regardless of the safety of the attacking troops."

"The situation is different now."

"The devils have lost two infantry squadrons before they fought a tough battle with us, and their morale is low. If they take advantage of the close-range firefights between the two sides to send out artillery to bombard the blocking positions and accidentally injure a large number of attacking troops, even if they win in the end, the morale of the troops will be low. It will not be promoted, but it will make the Japanese feel that their brigade commander has no way to defeat us and has to accidentally injure his own people, which will seriously affect the military prestige of the brigade commander, and the loss outweighs the gain.”

"Of course, if the head of the Japanese brigade bombards the blocking position regardless of everything, we should bear it hard and we must bear it hard."

"The Japanese army attacking us has a reinforced brigade. They cannot be defeated by skillful battles alone. They must work hard."

"Wei Dayong is very good at fighting tough battles, and the troops he brought out also like to fight tough battles, so I put him in the second-line position, and changed the first tough battle we had with the little devil. Just how powerful the Kwantung Army is."

"Rumble..."

The last round of shells roared, and in the splashing flames, countless soil and logs were blown away, and the ground under their feet trembled several times in the explosion.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, billowing thick smoke rose into the sky, and then quickly spread to the surroundings, covering the entire blocking position.

For more than 500 days, the puppet army has touched the position 100 meters in front of the formation under the cover of artillery fire. They are holding guns, lined up skirmishers, bent over, and continue to charge forward. The speed is extremely fast. They want to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army. After reacting in the middle, run a few more steps to shorten the attack distance as much as possible.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of shell explosions sounded again, and dozens of mortar shells fell from the sky, all smashing into the smoky blocking position, continuing to suppress the opponent.

Mortars are less powerful, but have high shooting accuracy. The attacking troops can continue to fire three to 40 meters before the formation. It is the best weapon to suppress the blocking troops at close range.

For more than 500 days, the puppet army's assault speed was faster and their confidence was stronger than before. Obviously it was brought to them by mortars.

In the blink of an eye, the two rows of puppet troops in front rushed to the position 50 meters in front of the formation.

Many puppet soldiers have already pulled out grenades, ready to throw them out ten meters ahead, and combined with mortars to destroy the defenders on the position, and then captured the blocking position in one fell swoop.

"Da da da……"

Before the grenade could be shot, the sound of machine gun fire suddenly sounded, and a large number of machine gun bullets suddenly flew out of the smoky blocking position, interweaving into an impenetrable firepower net, and slammed into the puppet army.

The puppet soldiers in the first row didn't even utter a scream, and fell to the ground in unison.

The grenades held by some puppet soldiers had already been ignited, and they were smashed into a sieve by the bullets just as they were about to throw them out, and they fell to the ground with the grenades.

"boom……"

The sudden explosion of the grenade did not hit an Eighth Route Army, but it overturned the two puppet troops who had just rushed up behind them...

The Japanese army attacked the position. Facing the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared, Major General Fujita was not only not angry, but was very happy.

Just like a hunter who found prey, his eyes quickly became hot, and his face was full of anticipation: "The mortar unit continued to fire, the heavy machine gun squadron went into battle, the suppression team blocked the firepower, covered the attacking troops and rushed up, and wiped out the troops on the ground." all the defenders."

"General, the blocking firepower of the defenders is too fierce. There are at least [-] machine guns firing, and there are also a large number of grenade launchers attacking the attacking troops from a long distance. I'm afraid they won't be able to sustain the enemy and be suppressed..." The captain looked heartbroken Order.

The Eighth Route Army hid in the trenches to block the attack, and the power of the mortars was limited. Unless they directly hit the trenches, it would be difficult to cause a large number of damage to them.

Not to mention heavy machine guns. The battlefield is filled with gunpowder smoke, and there are trenches and bomb craters everywhere. Anywhere on the Eighth Route can be used as a machine gun position, and it can be moved as it is attacked. It is very difficult for a heavy machine gun squadron to completely suppress the opponent with firepower.

However, the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army has always existed. If mortars and heavy machine guns suppress them one minute later, the casualties of the attacking troops will be one point more.

If their casualties were greater, even if they successfully entered the blocking position, it would be difficult to destroy the blocking force and occupy the position when there were insufficient troops.

From the perspective of the brigade commander, he particularly hoped that the brigade commander would dispatch mountain artillery and heavy artillery to bombard the blocking position, blowing up all the Eighth Route Army exposed in the surface position, and then the attacking troops would kill and clean up the battlefield.

Although such a fight would cause some accidental injuries to the attacking troops, the loss was obviously not comparable to the losses caused to them by the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and overall it was more cost-effective.

Major General Fujita saw his subordinates' careful thoughts at a glance.

But he couldn't do that. As the head of the brigade, he not only had to worry about the gains and losses and casualties of a unit, but also the morale and morale of the entire sweeping unit.

If the troops knew that the Eighth Route Army's second-line blocking positions were taken down by artillery accidentally injuring their own people, the victory would immediately turn into a defeat.

When attacking the third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, other troops will worry that the brigade commander will also treat them as cannon fodder. When the two sides exchange fire at close range, they will cover the area with indiscriminate artillery fire. accidental injury.

The soldiers were not afraid of death, and if they were asked to launch a suicide attack against the bullets, no one would retreat.

But if he was accidentally killed by his own artillery, the result would be different.

If the army loses in the first battle, if they win the second round of attack by killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, it will give people a feeling that they can't help their opponents, and it will further affect the morale and morale of the troops.
