The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The fighting started very suddenly.

Many little devils in the attacking force thought that the Eighth Route Army's blocking force had been blown away, and there were no living people on the ground, so everyone just needed to collect the corpses when they rushed forward.

A violent explosion suddenly sounded in front of their eyes.

Two balls of dazzling flames rose from the protective steel plate of the tank in an instant, and thick smoke billowed out of the tank immediately.

The squadron leader who led the attack by the Devils hid behind a tank and witnessed the scene of flames splashing with his own eyes.

Fortunately, the fragments from the shells flew to the sides and the front of the tank, otherwise he would have been the first to be killed.

Surprised, he immediately drew out his command knife.

"idiot……"

"The Eighth Route Army on the ground did not run away, they wanted to stop it desperately..."

"The position is in front, rush up immediately, and kill..."

More than 100 little devils quickly turned into a group of hungry wolves, howling and rushing towards the blocking position.

Not to be outdone, the squadron leader mingled in the middle of the team and launched an attack together.

"Boom boom boom... da da da..."

More than 30 light and heavy machine guns that can still be used in the blocking position decisively joined the battle.

Without the tank as a shield, more than 100 devils directly became more than 100 living targets.

Wherever the bullets went, these living targets fell to the ground one after another, and none of them survived.

…………

The captain opened his mouth, his whole face was flushed with anger, his hands were tightly gripping the binoculars, his veins were exposed, his whole body was like a powder keg that could erupt at any time, and it would ignite at any moment.

Too careless.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army has such a strong will to fight, and it can withstand continuous artillery strikes without blocking positions.

Seeing that the attacking troops were swept to the ground in pieces and the three tanks they relied on were also destroyed, I felt full of regret.

If I knew that the opponent was so powerful, I shouldn't have let the attacking troops launch a hasty attack just now.

Instead, we should wait until the artillery counterattacks the Eighth Route Army artillery, and shoot out all the ten rounds of artillery shells hitting the blocking position before launching an assault.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army in the blocking position would definitely suffer [-] to [-] percent more casualties, and the pressure on the attacking troops would be much less.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, if you lose, you lose.

Before putting down the binoculars, he hurriedly ordered: "The attacking troops will retreat immediately..."

"The artillerymen continued to fire. Raze the bunkers on the blocking position to the ground, and blow up the Eighth Route Army there."

"Hurry up..."

…………

At this moment, Captain Guizi did not even think that the ultimate goal of the Eighth Route Army was to wipe himself out.

At the beginning of the battle, his idea was to break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, to reinforce the Tanwan stronghold, and to reinforce the cavalry troops, without considering his own safety at all.

When the remaining mortars of the artillery squadron fired again, more than forty shells of different calibers suddenly fell from the sky.

Some hit the new artillery positions of the artillery squadron, and some hit the road.

The flames soared into the sky, and countless soldiers were blown away in the explosion...

The two guards shot at the same time, threw the captain on the ground, and used their bodies to block the fragments of shells coming from all directions.

This time the captain was completely blown away.

The information provided by the brigade headquarters showed that there were about two regiments of the Eighth Route Army operating along the railway line.

Half of the regiment was killed during the raid on the army column, and now there is at most one and a half regiments left.

In the battle plan formulated by Major General Kawasaki: After a stronghold along the railway line was attacked, the cavalry unit would reinforce it first, then the nearest patrol team would rush there, and the remaining two patrol teams would set off last.

The interval between several troops arriving on the battlefield ranged from half an hour to an hour.

One and a half regiments of the Eighth Route Army have two to three thousand people.

Subtracting the attacking troops, at most more than 2000 people will be sent to help.

Whether it is a cavalry or a patrol, it will definitely be no problem to persist for an hour in front of more than 2000 Eighth Route Army.

At that time, such a situation will appear on the battlefield.

The Eighth Route Army fought less and less, but the Japanese troops who rushed to the battlefield fought more and more, and finally encircled the Eighth Route Army, gathered and wiped them out.

As a result, the battle in front of him was completely opposite to the battle scene planned by the brigade commander.

There are indeed more than 2000 people in the Eighth Route Army that blocked him from the front and the Eighth Route Army that surrounded him, but their equipment is too good.

The number of artillery is several times more than his own, and there are cavalry and flying thunder cannons to help out.

Before the troops saw the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, half of their subordinates were wiped out by the shelling alone.

The assembled troops were also blown up. The soldiers could not find their officers, and the officers could not find their soldiers. There was chaos everywhere.

If the Eighth Route Army takes the opportunity to launch a general offensive, everyone can only fight on their own.

The overall combat effectiveness can't even be displayed at [-]% in normal times.

"Tick tock... tick tock..."

The charge horn sounded suddenly on the battlefield.

What the captain was most worried about happened.

…………

At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, it was already late at night, and Major General Kawasaki did not feel sleepy at all. He paced back and forth by guarding the combat sand table, and looked up at the telecommunications room at the door from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry had already reached the Tan Wan stronghold.

If the Eighth Route Army there has not retreated, the cavalry can hold them back and wait for the patrols to reach the battlefield and gather and wipe them out.

The Eighth Route Army, which was active along the railway line, was finished.

A little bit of time passed, and the headquarters still did not receive a telegram from the cavalry unit, which should not have been done.

In order to avoid accidents when the headquarters communicated with the front-line troops, the headquarters specially strengthened several radio stations for the patrols and cavalry, and strictly ordered them to send telegrams to the headquarters when they encountered enemy situations.

Even if there is no enemy situation, you must contact the headquarters every two hours.

If the cavalry troops successfully arrived at the Tanwan stronghold, they would definitely send a telegram to the headquarters.

But no telegram has been received yet, indicating that they had an accident on the road and have not yet arrived at the Tanwan stronghold.

This is not right either.

According to the agreement, the troops should also report the situation when there is an accident.

But the command did not receive the relevant telegram.

This is even stranger.

Major General Kawasaki wanted to take the initiative to send them a telegram to ask about the situation.

But he held back at the last moment when he ordered the exit.

The two-hour regular contact time agreed by the two parties has not yet arrived. It is very likely that they are galloping on the road. Even if the headquarters sends them a meter, they will not get any response, which will only increase their troubles.

Finally he decided to wait a little longer.

Without the latest battle reports from the front line, his headquarters is blind and deaf, and no amount of tactics and tactics in his mind will help.

"General..."

The communications staff officer ran towards him as soon as he walked out of the telecommunications room, and reported anxiously when he entered the door.

"Second Patrol urgently calls."

"They encountered the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army six kilometers away from the Tanwan stronghold."

"The enemy has a large number of troops and is well-equipped. The second patrol team suffered heavy losses in the raid and is relying on favorable terrain to stand by and wait for reinforcements. It is unable to reinforce the Tanwan stronghold."

"The newspaper also said that the cavalry was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army half an hour ago, but the details are unknown."
