The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 687 Revenge with an eye for an eye (first change)
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army's blockade force is equipped with a large number of mortars, and it specializes in attacking our attacking force. Just now, the two squadrons were blown up..." The chief of the main attacking force rushed all the way to the leader of the regiment, and reported with a sad face, feeling very wronged.

In the past, they fought against the Eighth Route Army with artillery fire. Unlike today, the offensive troops were attacked by more than a dozen mortars as soon as they were dispatched.

The offensive position is on both sides of the road and the road, with a clear view, and there is not even a place to hide.

The shells rained down, and they had nowhere to hide, so they could only charge forward against the shellfire, and the result could be imagined.

For a long time, the regiment had not received news that the troops had broken through the Eighth Route Army's blockade position, and was very anxious, and had been considering other ways to break through.

After confirming that breaking out from the front was not feasible, he made a decisive decision: "We break out from the left wing..."

"The troops turned around immediately, rushed into the cornfields on the side of the road, and used the corn stalks to cover and break out of the encirclement."

The brigade captain breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't continue to attack from the front, the casualties of the assault in any direction would be much smaller.

As a result, the people still hadn't moved, and there was also the sound of firefighting from the direction newly selected by the regiment leader to break out.

"Not good... The Eighth Route Army with the left wing outflanking us is already in place, and we can't go there..." the regiment leader analyzed with a serious face.

"The troops continued to turn and break out from the right flank of the battlefield, where the Eighth Route Army had not yet fully outflanked."

For this ambush, the Duer regiment has been lurking here for two days, and the fat in their mouths can't let them slip away.

The idea of ​​the leader of the Devils Alliance wanting to break out of the pocket array is destined to be a dream.

As soon as an infantry squadron left the road, a company of the Eighth Route Army happened to come head-on.

"Captain, we seem to be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army..." the adjutant said nervously.

The captain of the alliance punched the ammunition box next to him hard, and replied helplessly in pain: "I can see..."

"I also know that the Eighth Route Army that ambushed us is the main force of the Duer Regiment that everyone has been looking for, otherwise there would not be so many field artillery participating in the battle."

"The passage to break through has been cut off, so we can only stand by and wait for help. After defeating the Duer Regiment, we will return to help Baoding."

"The troops immediately established a circular defense line around me."

"Quickly report what happened to our army to the Baoding Headquarters,"

"Commander, please send troops from Pingyang Town to reinforce us, first attack the main force of the Duer Regiment, and then attack the Shunping garrison regiment."

"Our department will desperately drag the Duer Regiment to the battlefield."

"The Eighth Route Army used Baoding as a bait to encircle and fight for aid."

"Using ourselves as bait, we encircled the Duer Regiment here, blossomed in the center, and wiped them out."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, combat staff officers, and messengers, came in and out, and continuously summarized the latest battle situation on the battlefield here for Kong Jie's reference.

"Regimental Commander, the Japanese army is shrinking its forces and establishing a circular position on the spot..." a messenger rushed into the headquarters to report.

Shen Quan immediately made a judgment: "The devil wants to wait for help..."

"Head, I suggest that the troops press up immediately, and don't give them a chance to establish a line of defense."

"The more chaotic they are, the faster we can wipe out the enemy."

Kong Jie said confidently: "It's okay to wait for help. We have field artillery to help out. No matter how strong the Japanese army's temporary ring formation is, it will be destroyed."

"I'm worried that they're using themselves as bait to drag us here and gather and kill them."

"The [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd Battalions immediately accelerated their attack speed and reduced the range of activities of the Japanese army."

"The field artillery battalion suspends shelling, and waits for the infantry to drive the devils together before implementing artillery coverage to increase the hit rate of shells."

…………

"Dong dong dong..."

The crossfire from the two heavy machine guns suddenly blocked the way of the [-]nd Battalion and the [-]th Company, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were instantly smashed into a sieve, and blood gushed out, dyeing the uniform red in an instant.

The company commander quickly threw himself on the ground while raising his binoculars.

Two heavy machine guns stood more than 100 meters away, acting as horns to intercept themselves.

Fifty or sixty devils gathered behind the heavy machine gun, desperately filling sandbags, digging trenches, and building positions.

"We must not let them build a blocking position..." the company commander thought to himself.

He waved to the instructor behind him and ordered: "Old Zhou, I will lead people to attack head-on to attract the firepower of the devils."

"You take the grenadier squad to flank the heavy machine guns and blow them up."

"The Japanese army's blocking firepower was so strong that they couldn't even set up a grenade launcher for a frontal attack, so they could only attack from the flanks."

After finishing speaking, he ordered at the top of his voice: "Machine guns are ready..."

"Suppress the firepower of the Japanese heavy machine guns and open fire..."

The whole company is equipped with six light machine guns. In individual competition, the light machine gun is definitely not the opponent of the heavy machine gun. However, relying on the advantage of numbers, the fifth company still managed to suppress the two heavy machine guns in the area.

"Boom boom boom..."

In less than a minute, the sound of grenade explosions sounded in the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.

The gunfire stopped abruptly, and the tiger standing in front of Wulian was killed like this.

The company commander quickly got up from the ground, held up the box cannon and ordered: "Continue to charge forward..."

"All the machine guns opened fire, defeating the little devils in front, and they all charged with me..."

Time was limited, and less than one-third of the blocking positions temporarily repaired by the Japanese army were completed. Soldiers squatting in the trenches could not hide their bodies, and they certainly could not fight.

"Da da da……"

Light machine gun bullets flew towards them head-on, and several devils with their upper bodies exposed were instantly knocked down.

The rest of the little devils really want to block the attack on the spot and block the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

But the blocking position under their feet was not repaired, and the soldiers didn't even have a shelter to hide bullets, so what could they use to block them.

The leader of the leading squadron chose to retreat after a little analysis.

There are two circular positions in the back, located in the inner circle, the scale is much smaller, but the garrison is several times more, it should have been repaired.

"Kill..." Seeing that the devil was about to run, the company commander rushed faster than before.

"Don't let the boiled duck fly away from our mouths... Machine gun fire, let me kill them..."

…………

Okamura Ningji, the provisional headquarters of the Japanese Army in Baoding, was furious in the room.

After confirming that the Eighth Route Army's siege of Baoding was in full swing, he thought that the Eighth Route Army in the wing would take the opportunity to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

But as Baoding City was breached, the Baoding garrison suffered heavy casualties, and the idea of ​​enclosing the spot and fighting for aid was suddenly extinguished.

The Yizhong Eighth Route Army does not have the ability to turn beans into soldiers. The total strength is only so many, and one is less than one.

After deducting the losses since the big raid, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army plus the Duer Regiment only had 5000 people.

Leave more than 1000 people to defend Pingyang Town, divide more than 2000 people to attack Baoding, and then divide some troops to protect the headquarters and logistics, and at most 1000 people can be used for reinforcements.

There were two reinforced brigades for the return reinforcements, and the terrain along the way was flat, which was not suitable for ambushes. No matter how you analyzed it, the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong did not have the strength to encircle and fight for reinforcements.

As a result, he once again underestimated the strength of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think the proposal of returning troops is very good." The deputy chief of staff interjected in time, trying to appease the commander's anger.

"The enemy changes and I change, since the Eighth Route Army wants to attack and annihilate the returning reinforcements through encirclement points."

"We can also retaliate with an eye for an eye."

"The Eighth Route Army that is defending Pingyang Town is running out, and three infantry brigades should be able to be dispatched."

"Then transfer the cavalry and chariot units that cooperate with them, and they will definitely sweep the main force of the Second Regiment."

"Kill the Duer Regiment, and the remaining garrison regiments of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong will become a bunch of stragglers with no leader, and their combat effectiveness will drop sharply,"

"It's easy to destroy them again."
