The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"General, why don't you send a small team into the city to find out the situation..." the chief of staff tried to suggest.

Major General Fujita shook his head, and refused with a sullen face: "If there is really an ambush by the Eighth Route Army in the city, the troops we send into the city will be sheep like sheep. I won't do such stupid things as giving away military exploits to the Eighth Route Army for nothing."

"Send the main force directly into the city and attack all the way forward..." The chief of staff immediately put forward another idea.

Seeing that Major General Fujita did not answer with a sullen face, the chief of staff continued: "Deploy another mountain artillery squadron, a mortar squadron, and two infantry artillery squadrons, and follow the main force into the city. If suspicious targets are found, they will be bombarded with artillery shells to destroy all potential targets." Launch an assault after the threat, and take Junpei in the shortest possible time."

"Anyway, we don't plan to continue going deep into the Eighth Route Army's base areas today. We have plenty of time to fight slowly."

"If it still doesn't work, heavy artillery and planes will be dispatched to level the buildings in the city and make the Eighth Route Army lose its hiding place."

Major General Fujita was finally persuaded, and after thinking for a minute, he ordered: "Drop an infantry brigade into the city, and the artillery will be transferred according to the chief of staff's proposal, and then two battalions of the Imperial Association Army will be transferred to cooperate."

"When attacking, let the puppet army rush to the front, forcing the Eighth Route Army to expose the target in advance, and the artillerymen will follow behind and take rolls one by one. After the enemy is eliminated, our own people will rush up."

Ten minutes later, more than 10 puppet troops entered Shunping County.

Major General Fujita's imagined firefight statement did not appear, and within 10 minutes, the messenger rushed towards him with excitement on his face.

"Report to the head of the brigade, there is no Eighth Route Army in the city..."

"The enemy was scared away by us..."

Major General Fujita's reaction was very flat. He stared at the messenger and asked, "Where's the tunnel?"

"Is there any tunnels in the city? The Eighth Route Army likes to fight us in tunnels."

"The army is likely to hide in the tunnel, and when we relax our vigilance, they will suddenly appear and launch an attack, killing us by surprise."

"We have already suffered a loss in Taipingzhuang, and we must not be fooled again."

The messenger vowed: "Please rest assured, the commander of the brigade, there are only cellars in the city, and there are no tunnels..."

"We found many entrances and exits of the tunnels, but when we went in, we found that those so-called tunnels were all cellars. Except for some food that we didn't take away, we didn't find a single Eighth Route Army."

The chief of staff stood up again: "General, the information provided by the Baoding garrison shows that the Eighth Route Army has only built a large number of tunnel fortifications in some important villages, and there is no sign of digging tunnels in the occupied counties."

"The county is crowded with people and houses are densely covered, so it is not suitable for digging tunnels."

"We lurk a lot of intelligence personnel in the city. If the Eighth Route Army really digs tunnels in the city, it is impossible not to attract their attention to the huge movement."

Major General Fujita was terrified by the authenticity, as if he had been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes.

I didn't fully believe the chief of staff's analysis, so I thought for a while before ordering: "Let the attacking troops check again, go door to door, make sure there are really no tunnels in the city, no ambushes, and then go into the city for repairs."

…………

The battle in Wangdu City is still going on.

If the little devil had God's help, the Eighth Route Army defending the city would almost always be defeated in one blow. After a while, they rushed forward for more than 200 meters, and their own casualties were less than 200.

Hearing the sound of firefights getting closer and closer outside, Li Yunlong finally reacted and ordered solemnly: "All the troops participating in the war will launch a counterattack..."

"The outflanking troops immediately blocked the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops and took the top of the city. The other troops tried to wipe out the little devils in the city within 10 minutes, and ended the battle."

Deng Jingye answered immediately: "Deputy head, you can go down the tunnel now..."

"We are more familiar with the city's terrain than the devils. The troops participating in the battle have sufficient ammunition, and the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark. There will definitely be no problems in the battle."

This time Li Yunlong did not refuse: "After the troops wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in their defense area, they immediately retreated into the cellar to avoid artillery fire..."

"Let's swallow a reinforced brigade in one gulp. No matter how generous Major General Kawasaki is, he will be pissed off. The ensuing retaliatory artillery coverage will definitely be unprecedented. Only tunnels can minimize our losses."

"The shelling is over, the new Japanese and puppet troops have entered the county, and we will return to the surface to fight."

"Although there is no tunnel network like Tan Village in the city, there are underground passages for escaping. When we kill enough little devils with street fighting, and then use the underground passages to evacuate the county, this bloody battle before us will become a case without a clue. The Japanese army could not find a target even if they wanted to retaliate."

…………

At the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese army outside the city, Major General Kawasaki finally showed a long-lost smile on his serious face as he listened to the sound of firefights getting farther and farther away in the city.

According to the current assault speed of the attacking troops, they can indeed end the battle within an hour.

After taking down Wangdu, the army can be reorganized, and there is also a forward base to continue to attack Yi County, killing two birds with one stone.

Twenty minutes before the final victory, the sound of firefights in the city suddenly became denser, and there were a lot of explosions in the middle.

Major General Kawasaki took it for granted that this was the last counterattack of the Eighth Route Army before his death, and it was nothing to worry about.

As long as the offensive troops stabilize the line of defense and block the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army, the offensive troops will be able to seal the victory and end the battle as quickly as possible.

Five minutes passed, and the sound of the suddenly dense exchange of fire did not weaken, but instead showed a tendency to intensify.

If this round of firefights was the last wave of the Eighth Route Army in the city before they died, it meant that they had already reached the point of life and death, and they certainly couldn't hold on for too long.

Now the situation is just the opposite, which means that my judgment just now was wrong.

The Eighth Route Army in the city has not yet reached the point of fighting to the death.

The smile on his face was replaced by seriousness again, and as the firefight became more and more intense, the serious expression on his face was also unconsciously replaced by solemnity.

"There is a problem. Probably something happened to the attacking troops in the city? Ask the observation post at the top of the city what happened to the sudden increase in the sound of firefighting."

"Da da da... Boom boom..." The sound of machine gun fire and grenade explosion suddenly sounded from the top of the city.

Major General Kawasaki quickly raised his binoculars.

In addition to the guard posts and observation posts on the top of the city, there is also a reinforced team with a total of more than a hundred people to protect the city gate and prevent the attacking troops from being blocked in the city.

The grenade suddenly exploded on the top of the city, apparently catching them by surprise.

The flames splattered, several soldiers were blown away, and finally hit the ground outside the city.

The Eighth Route Army, who came out of nowhere, rushed to the top of the city, armed with light machine guns, and fired at the troops at the top of the city like bullets for free.

Seeing this, if Major General Kawasaki still doesn't understand the opponent's methods, then he will be the head of the brigade in vain.

Trembling with anger, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Bageya Road, we have been fooled... The Eighth Route Army in the city is deliberately showing weakness to us, leading our attacking troops to the depths of the county, and then launching a counterattack to make dumplings for them."

"What a formidable opponent. If you don't make a move, you will use it. If you make a move, you will eat up our strengthened team."

"They must not be allowed to succeed in their conspiracy."

"The third brigade will enter the city immediately and reinforce the second brigade. If they can launch a counterattack and kill the Eighth Route Army in the city, they can directly counterattack without asking me for instructions."

"If the Eighth Route Army is too strong to launch a counterattack, immediately bring the second brigade back."

"A little faster, if you slow down, the second team will be finished."

The progress of the battle on the top of the city far exceeded Major General Kawasaki's imagination.

More than 100 subordinates are simply more stupid than more than 100 pigs. Facing the surprise troops of the Eighth Route Army, they have almost no strength to fight back, and more than half of them were killed in the blink of an eye.

The opened city gate was also closed again. As soon as a squadron of the third brigade rushed to a position 300 meters outside the city, bullets flew towards them like rain.

"It's really closing the door to beat the dog..." Major General Kawasaki believed in his own judgment more and more, and ordered immediately.

"The third brigade launched a strong attack directly. There are not many Eighth Route Army on the top of the city, and we still have our own people. Now is the best time to take the top of the city. Once they completely occupy the top of the city, they will be unable to take it down. Hurry up..."

"Mountain artillery and mortars are set up, and the heavy machine gun squadron will also participate in the battle. Immediately suppress the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the top of the city, and cover the third brigade to enter the county."

…………

The underground headquarters of the Wangdu garrison regiment, Li Yunlong received good news as soon as he arrived here: "Report to the deputy commander, the first battalion, one and two companies have occupied part of the city, and are preventing Japanese reinforcements from entering the city..."

"They are under the greatest combat pressure, and the troops are attacked from the front and back. If they last for more than one minute, there will be a lot of casualties. Tell other participating troops to speed up the counterattack and end the battle as quickly as possible." Li Yunlong ordered seriously.

"Deputy regiment commander, do you want the artillery to fire a few rounds of shells outside the city to slightly reduce the pressure on the next battalion to stop the attack?" Deng Jingye suggested.

"The artillery must not move." Li Yunlong refused decisively.

"The little devil's plane in the sky is not a vegetarian. The enemy and us are fighting together in the city, and gunpowder smoke is everywhere. The plane can't find the bombing target, and it is useless for a while."

"Once we dispatched the artillery, they would turn into a group of tigers who found their prey, howling and rushing towards the artillery positions."

"No matter how fast the artillery transfer is, it can't compare to the bombing speed of the aircraft."

Deng Jingye nodded: "Then we can only let them hold on..."

"I will personally go to the head of the city to supervise the battle, and I will persist until the battle in the city is over."

Li Yunlong didn't refuse, there were too many new recruits in the team, if Deng Jingye stayed with them as regiment leader, it would definitely boost the morale of the troops and make them last longer.

As soon as Deng Jingye left, the good news came here one after another: "Deputy commander, the first battalion and the third company reported that they have eliminated the current enemy, and wiped out more than 100 enemies..."

"Deputy commander, the second battalion reported that they have severely injured the little devils in the encirclement, and the battle can be over in at most 10 minutes. Please support the reinforcements..."

At this moment, the top of the defensive city of the first battalion has been completely covered by artillery fire.

Compared with the more than 1000 troops in the city, the dozens of little devils on the top of the city are obviously nothing.

In order to keep the troops in the city, Major General Kawasaki decisively chose the strong men to cut off their wrists, and ordered the artillery to cover the city with indiscriminate artillery fire, destroy as many Eighth Route Army as possible, and cover the third brigade to quickly enter the county.
