The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 756 Tian Ji Horse Racing (Second Change)

"Two mountain artillery squadrons will join the battle immediately, and cover the Yamaguchi Wing to wipe out the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops." Major General Nakamura paused for two seconds and continued to order.

"The rest of the troops are repairing on the spot. We will set off after the Shankou Regiment breaks through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army and continue to raid Baoding."

"Boom boom boom..."

Mortar shells fell on the blocking position as if they didn't need money. After a while, the entire defense line was covered by artillery fire, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Kong Jie and Li Zhi squatted in the bunker, poking their heads out at any time to pay attention to every move of the Japanese army ahead.

Kong Jie was still relatively calm.

After the establishment of the Duer Regiment, they fought many battles with the devils. Many veterans in the team were bombed by heavy artillery. Facing the mortar attack in front of them, they basically did not overreact.

Li Zhi is different.

After confirming that the troops wanted to gather and annihilate the forwards of the Kwantung Army, Li Zhi did not hesitate to take on the most difficult blocking task in the operation.

Most of the soldiers of the 26th regiment have participated in more than two battles, and they can basically be called veterans.

But most of the battles they fought were guerrilla warfare, and they seldom experienced such a big battle that they were bombed as soon as they came up.

Facing the explosions that kept ringing in my ears, I felt very guilty, for fear that the troops would not be able to withstand the artillery attack and collapse.

Kong Jie knew this very well, and specially asked the Duer regiment and the 26th regiment to fight together.

"Captain Li..." Kong Jie suddenly called out.

"Let the troops prepare for battle, the first round of the little devil's attack is about to begin."

Li Zhi was stunned for two or three seconds before he realized it, and replied loudly: "I'll make arrangements now..."

Kong Jie continued to order with a worried expression: "All light and heavy machine guns are ready for battle..."

"All of them must prepare more than two reserve positions..."

"The heavy machine gun needs to move its position after firing a single bullet plate..."

"The light machine gun can fire five long bursts at most, and you must move your position. Don't be targeted by the little devil's grenadier."

"The artillery is aimed at the position 100 to [-] meters in front of the formation and is on standby at any time."

Li Zhi didn't understand it a little bit, and couldn't help reminding: "Why don't you let the artillery counterattack the devil's artillery position."

"Our two regiments are equipped with more than 30 mortars, and the Japanese army only has a dozen. Now the counterattack will definitely destroy their artillery positions."

Kong Jie shook his head and refused: "Not yet..."

"Without the protection of the infantry, no matter how powerful the Devil's artillery is, it's still a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

"Kill the infantry first, then the artillery."

"The strength of the Devils' artillery is far beyond our imagination. Now only a small part of the artillery is dispatched. If we attack now, their follow-up artillery will definitely blow up all the mortars of our two regiments. We will exchange more than 30 mortars for more than ten devils." A mortar is not worth it."

"Da da da... dong dong dong..."

The sound of light and heavy machine gun fire suddenly rang in Kong Jie's ears, and the violent explosion disappeared immediately.

Through the gunpowder smoke that shrouded the position, one could vaguely see the ghosts seven or eighty meters away.

Three or four hundred little devils, armed with rifles, pressed towards the blocking position in a skirmish line, at a very fast speed.

Several screams reached Kong Jie's ears at the same time.

Five or six soldiers were shot in the head and chest, and fell face up in a pool of blood.

Kong Jie knew at a glance that this was a masterpiece of the Japanese heavy machine gun unit.

Although the bullets of ordinary machine guns are powerful, the bullet holes after hitting the body are very small, unlike heavy machine guns, which punch a bloody hole the size of a fist, which is bloody and very cruel.

Immediately remind the troops around: "The devils are covered by heavy machine guns, so don't show your face easily."

"Boom boom boom..."

Several explosions reached Kong Jie's ears at the same time, and a machine gun team that forgot to transfer was instantly blown up, including people and guns.

Seeing this scene made Kong Jie heartbroken.

But he couldn't.

This is the battlefield, no one can escape the bullets and shells flying in the air.

The only thing that made him fortunate was that the casualties of the Japanese army were far greater than his own.

Fifty or sixty light and heavy machine guns fired together, and the bullets flew towards the devils like rain.

In a blink of an eye, more than 100 corpses had fallen in front of the formation.

The devils rushed closer and closer, and the casualties began to increase sharply.

"The artillery is ready..." Kong Jie suddenly ordered...

One minute later, the little devils, who had lost nearly 1 people, finally reached the position 200 meters in front of the formation. Many devils had already started to pull out grenades, preparing to launch a desperate assault on the blocking position.

The blocking force was also bombed by grenades and mortars during the battle, and more than a dozen machine gun teams, including three heavy machine gun teams, were blown up.

Including the infantry, the casualties also exceeded a hundred.

"fire……"

Kong Jie seized the opportunity to order suddenly.

"Boom boom boom..."

At the same time, the explosion sounded in front of the formation, and in the splashing flames, many devils' attacking troops were blown away.

More than 100 Japanese soldiers were enveloped by artillery fire in an instant, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Faced with this turn of events, Yamaguchi, the captain of the Guizi Alliance, was also stunned, and did not give an order to retreat until the fourth round of shells landed.

"The artillery immediately shifted its position... The troops immediately entered the trenches and prepared for artillery fire... Hurry up..." Kong Jie ordered at the same time, with a very anxious expression on his face.

He is too familiar with the little devil's three-axe fighting method. Not surprisingly, as soon as the devil's attacking troops withdraw, a new round of artillery coverage will follow.

Li Zhi has forgotten that he is the head of the 26th regiment.

At this moment, he is more like Kong Jie's deputy, he will do whatever Kong Jie says.

As soon as the anti-shelling command was issued, the scream of the shells across the sky sounded in the air.

"Rumble..."

A series of more violent explosions spread through the position, with flames shooting up into the sky and mud splashing.

The trench under their feet was like a paper toy, and a big hole was blown out in an instant.

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of denser explosions sounded behind the blocking position. Under the light of the fire, many gunners who had not had time to retreat were killed.

Li Zhi was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't help but gasped.

Fortunately, Kong Jie issued the transfer order in time. If there was no transfer, the artillery losses would at least triple.

The way he looked at Kong Jie suddenly changed.

Both admire and envy.

He knew the little devils too well, and his reaction speed was fast before the battle. The opponent knew what they were going to do next before they made a move, and prepared in advance to reduce casualties and increase the results of the battle.

…………

Behind a mound two kilometers away, Huang Yu was observing the battlefield with a telescope.

The ambush plan was proposed by him, and the specific method of attack was also thought up by him. After discussing with Li Yunlong, Kong Jie directly appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy on the battlefield to lead all the troops participating in the battle.

This is the pre-war enemy headquarters, condescending, you can have a panoramic view of the entire battle situation.

"Report to the deputy chief of staff. Commander Li sent someone to ask if the commando can attack." The correspondent suddenly touched Huang Yu's back and reported.

"Let Commander Li wait a little longer. The devil's main force hasn't moved yet. The attack just now was more like a tentative attack." Huang Yu shook his head and replied.

"When the battlefield is heated up, their surprise attack can catch the devils by surprise and split the enemy in two with the minimum cost."

After speaking, he raised the binoculars again and asked while looking at them, "Chief of Staff, are the Field Artillery Battalion and Cavalry Company ready?"

Shen Quan is the chief of staff of the Second Regiment, and Huang Yu is also the deputy chief of staff of the Second Regiment. In terms of position, Shen Quan is half a rank higher than Huang Yu.

However, Shen Quan was not unhappy because Huang Yu served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and himself as the deputy. Instead, he looked forward to it.

He knew Huang Yu very well, and knew that Huang Yu's command ability far surpassed his own.

If it weren't for age and lack of qualifications, the level would have surpassed himself.

The battle in front of him is an excellent opportunity to learn from Huang Yu, and he can't miss it.

Very serious report: "It's all ready."

"Although the Field Artillery Battalion has a battalion-level organization, it is no problem to equip an artillery regiment with artillery."

"Their actions will definitely scare the Kwantung Army, the little devils."

"That's good..." Huang Yu's mouth suddenly turned up, and he gave an order with a sneer.

"The mortar plan remains unchanged."

"All the mortars were aimed at the field artillery brigade and the heavy artillery brigade where the Japanese army started firing, killing and injuring their gunners in large numbers, and making the two artillery units lose their combat effectiveness before they entered the battle."

"The mountain artillery was mounted outside the range of the Japanese mortars, aiming at the main force of the Japanese army, split them into two with shells, and covered the commandos to divide the Kwantung Army."

"Then divide it into two, use the barrage to cover the infantry to attack the main force of the Kwantung Army, compress their living space, and surround them on the road."

After speaking, he turned his attention to the blocking position again.

The blocking forces have successfully repelled the first round of the Japanese attack and are being covered by the second round of Japanese artillery fire.

Huang Yu ordered again: "Notify the artillery that we will fire after the start of a new round of Japanese attack."

"Cavalry, commandos, attack simultaneously."

"As long as the regiment leader succeeds in holding back the Japanese attacking troops and the Han Pao and mortar they set up."

"Our artillery cover can suppress the devils."

"It only takes 5 minutes for the commandos and cavalry to divide the devil into two."

"At that time, other artillerymen of the Kwantung Army had no chance to fight back, so they had to be beaten passively."

…………

On the blocking position, Kong Jie was lying in the trench with his head in his arms to avoid the artillery fire.

The Kwantung Army's second round of bombardment was too fierce. Just now, a shell hit just four meters away, and the swirling mud fell from the sky, almost burying him in the trench.

"It's almost..." Kong Jie suddenly shook off the dirt on his head, raised his head and ordered.

At the same time, he got up from the ground, poked his head out, and looked towards the Japanese attack position.

"The devil's artillery preparations are about to stop, let the troops prepare for battle..."

"All the artillery aimed at the Japanese artillery positions, and destroyed all the artillery that the devils just exposed at all costs."

"The Second Regiment, the 26th Regiment, all entered the position, ready to counterattack..."

Before Li Zhi could react from the shock, he heard the word "counterattack", and then he was completely taken aback.

In the battle just now, the Japanese army lost only 400 people.

For the more than 8000 Kwantung Army, this loss is tantamount to scratching the skin, and it does not affect combat effectiveness at all.

The battlefield is still in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Commander Kong wants to launch a counterattack in this situation, is he crazy?
Li Zhi racked his brains and couldn't understand Kong Jie's confidence and reason for doing so.

Just as he was about to ask why, Kong Jie's second order had just reached his ears.

"No time, hurry up and give an order..."

"The Duer Regiment blocked the second wave of Japanese offensive troops head-on."

"Seeing three flares go off, all the 26 regiments participated in the battle and launched a counterattack against the Japanese attacking troops together."

"The first and second battalions of the 26th regiment are responsible for outflanking, and I want to encircle and wipe out all the little devils in front of the formation."
