The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Huang Qi immediately showed a happy expression and said: "Deputy commander, the devils retreated on their own initiative, which means that they know that they are not our opponents. I think this is a good thing?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "You know what..."

"If you want to force Neiji Okamura to send troops back to Baoding from the front line, it is not enough to just enter Baoding. You must injure them severely, so that they can feel the danger that Baoding will be captured by us at any time."

"Defense can damage the little devil's reinforcements more than offense, and hurt Neiji Okamura."

"Now that the Japanese and puppet troops are retreating, we want to continue to severely damage the Baoding garrison, so we can only switch from defense to offense and take the initiative to launch an assault on the center of the city."

"Our troops are limited, and the offensive pressure must be very high."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he began to give orders: "Find a way to form a commando team of 300 people, use all the flying thunder cannons and mortars, give full play to the firepower advantage as much as possible, first charge 500 meters to the center of the city, and then according to the battle situation Decide on our next course of action."

Major General Fujita was in a very bad mood at the former enemy headquarters of the Japanese Army in Pingyang Town.

I thought I would be able to make a breakthrough during the day today, conquer Pingyang Town, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the town.

Unexpectedly, I still underestimated the will of the Eighth Route Army in Pingyang Town to resist, and overestimated the ability of the soldiers under his command to deal with tunnel warfare.

By nightfall, a quarter of the tunnels in Pingyang Town were still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

Demolition teams also pay a heavy price in battle.

Coupled with the casualties caused by the Eighth Route Army's active attack, the brigade lost another brigade in daytime battles.

I thought that the battle would be over tomorrow, the tunnels in Pingyang Town would be completely destroyed, and the Shunping garrison regiment would be killed.Unexpectedly, something happened in Baoding City at this time.

Urgently need to send troops back for help.

There are not many remaining troops in the three-way mopping-up force. Okamura Ningji's withdrawal of two reinforced brigades at a time will definitely make the force even more stretched.

Even if he succeeds in taking Pingyang Town, he still doesn't have enough troops to continue fighting.

But Baoding had to save him.

The commander is still standing there, saying that nothing will happen to him,
After discussing with Major General Kawasaki, they decided to let the rear right mopping forces return to Baoding and annihilate all the Eighth Route Army attacking Baoding.

Only when the rear is stable can they concentrate on sweeping the base in the middle of the wing.

More than 2000 little devils, carrying only light and heavy machine guns and mortars, marched lightly and rushed back to Baoding.

…………

At the front enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, Kong Jie had already prepared a pocket formation, and was waiting for the Japanese army to return to the reinforcements to hit the guns.

Several battalion and company commanders were even more excited than bloody.

During this period of time, the defense regiment has been fighting devils outside. Today they killed two squadrons, and tomorrow they killed a brigade. They were envious and wanted to go to the battlefield to kill devils.

The arrival of the two strengthened brigades just allowed them to live their addiction to fighting devils.

"Is the artillery ready..." Kong Jie first looked at the commander of the Field Artillery Battalion.

Compared with infantry, artillery has a much lower chance of going to the battlefield.

The field artillery battalion is equipped with all 75mm caliber field artillery. They can only be used in big battles, and the chance of going to the battlefield is even smaller.

It was not easy to get a big battle, and every soldier was full of energy.

The Field Artillery Battalion Commander immediately stood up: "Regimental Commander, don't worry..."

"We have measured the shooting parameters of the artillery in advance. After the battle starts, we will ensure that the infantry will fight wherever we are told."

Kong Jie continued: "The devil's return aid force has two reinforced brigades..."

"As long as our firepower is strong enough to fool them in an instant and destroy their will to fight, the rest will be much easier to fight."

"The combat missions of other troops remain unchanged."

"The first battalion and one company stop the head, the third battalion and the ninth company are responsible for cutting the tail..."

"The cavalry company will also participate in the battle."

"The terrain here is particularly good at cavalry raids."

"After the battle started, the platoons would patrol around the battlefield for security. If I found any little devils that slipped through the net, I would rush up and eliminate them, and strive to wipe out all the returning reinforcements."

…………

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The scream of shells across the sky suddenly sounded in the night sky.

Although Zheng Guizi was on his way, he was not at all vigilant.

Before the shells hit the ground, they fell down in unison, and the movements were very fast.

It can be seen at a glance that it is the result of months of training and actual combat.

But field artillery is different from mortars.

The latter mainly kills the enemy with shell fragments, and as long as the troops lie down in time, the damage can be minimized.

The former mainly uses shock waves to kill people. Even if the enemy is lying on the ground, the powerful shock waves can still shatter their internal organs.

There didn't seem to be any wounds on the surface, and the internal organs had been shaken to pieces.

Sixteen wild cannons fell from the sky, and a large number of fireballs were blown up along the highway in an instant, billowing thick smoke rose into the sky, and many little devils were blown away because the bombs hit too close, and were even blown to pieces, leaving no bones left.

The captain of the Devils led the team was no longer a novice on the battlefield. He knew he was being attacked by a large number of wild artillery as soon as he heard the sound of the artillery.

It is well known that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has a field artillery battalion that always follows the main force of the Duer Regiment.

Now that the Field Artillery Battalion is here, the main force of the Second Regiment is probably also hiding here.

A bold idea quickly popped up in my mind: "Siege the point to fight for reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong wants to ambush us to return to the reinforcements here."

"Don't get down, the troops continue to move forward, and rush out of the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation as quickly as possible."

"They have more than a dozen field artillery pieces, and they have a lot of troops."

"If we are blocked here and form a siege, Amaterasu will not be able to save us when he comes."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The second round of field artillery shells fell quickly, and in the billowing smoke, more Japanese and puppet soldiers were killed and injured in the artillery fire.

But they execute very well.

After receiving the order to advance, he stared at the artillery fire and rushed forward, letting the shells explode around him.

"Da da da……"

A burst of firefights suddenly sounded right in front of the team, and the captain's heart skipped a beat, with a hint of bad premonition flashing through.

"Captain, there is an Eighth Route Army blocking force ahead..." The messenger hurried over to report, turning his bad premonition into reality.

"Can you rush over?" The captain asked anxiously.

"It's hard..." The orderly frowned in embarrassment.

"If you are in a difficult situation, you have to rush. If you don't rush, all of us will be wiped out here by the Eighth Route Army." The regiment leader ordered firmly.

After finishing speaking, he said to the captain beside him.

"Take your men to attack and use all the mortars and heavy machine guns we have equipped."

"Even if human life is exchanged for human life, we must break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army,"

"Other troops will gather at me immediately, and a temporary line of defense will be established with me at the center."

"If the troops can't rush through, we can only stand here and wait for help.

"Send another telegram to the Baoding Headquarters. Our army was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the marching road and is breaking through..."

The second update is delivered today, please order in full!
