The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 775 Li Yunlong is very proud (first update)
"Your Excellency, Commander..." An exclamation suddenly reached Neiji Okamura's ears, and when he looked up, he saw a lieutenant running towards him with a smile on his face.

Before he could stand still, he rushed to report: "Your method succeeded..."

"The artillery unit just killed an Eighth Route Army artillery unit."

"Eliminate more than 100 gunners, destroy a dozen mortars..."

"The other two eighth-routing artillery units that were active near us seemed to be frightened, and they withdrew from the battlefield directly. The threat of artillery attack facing our army was lifted..."

The head of the division had a feeling of revenge, and before Neiji Okamura could speak, he hurriedly asked, "Be clear."

"The artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army come like the wind and go like a shadow, how did you lock them?"

The lieutenant hurriedly explained how the scouts found the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and how to use signal flares to guide the artillery to hit the target... repeat it again.

The head of the division laughed after hearing this, looked at Ningji Okamura and said with regret: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"If we had known that this method was so useful, we would not have taken the initiative to attack just now, and the injured troops lost more than 1000 people in vain."

"The same goes for the Eighth Route Army. It's too spineless to withdraw from the battle after only losing one artillery unit."

"If they hold on a little longer, we might be able to take out another artillery unit."

Neiji Okamura was much calmer than the head of the division. He shook his head and replied, "This battle is not as easy as you think."

"Do you know how much the scouts paid to find the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army?"

"How many field artillery and heavy artillery did the artillery regiment lose in the artillery raid before the scouts locked on the Eighth Route Army artillery?"

"If I can take the initiative to kill the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, I will definitely not settle for second best, let the scouts find the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, and fight with them for consumption."

The head of the division immediately turned his attention to the lieutenant, wanting to know the answer from him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is wise..." Lieutenant Xiaoxiao reported after flattering her.

"In addition to the artillery, the Eighth Route Army also sent a large number of infantry around us to protect the artillery."

"Our scouts act independently in units. Once they are targeted by the Eighth Route Army, they will surely die."

"In order to lock this artillery, the scouts will lose at least 70 people..."

The head of the division immediately showed a look of indifference and said: "That's worth it..."

"We lost more than 70 scouts, and the Eighth Route Army lost more than 100 gunners. In terms of casualties, we still made a profit..."

The lieutenant continued to report: "Except for the scouts, before we targeted the artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, they fired a total of six rounds at the artillery wing, destroying the artillery wing's six field guns and heavy artillery..."

"It also killed and injured more than 60 gunners of our army, destroyed six cars, and a large number of shells..."

Hearing this, the head of the division couldn't laugh anymore.

Field artillery and heavy artillery are not comparable to ordinary mortars.

In terms of value, three or four mortars are less than one field gun.

Not to mention heavy artillery, ten mortars can't be replaced by one.

The Eighth Route Army lost more than ten mortars, and the Artillery Wing lost six field artillery and heavy artillery. The loss of equipment alone was a big loss...

Okamura Ningji said at the right time: "Now I know why I would rather take the risk and let the troops take the initiative to attack than use this style of play!"

"If the remaining two artillery units of the Eighth Route Army did not retreat and continued to fight us head-on, even if they were wiped out by us, the artillery regiment would lose half of its field artillery and heavy artillery."

"It's not worth it..."

"Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army has limited equipment, and lost more than a dozen mortars, so they dare not continue to fight."

"Otherwise, I really don't know how to continue fighting this battle."

Neiji Okamura suddenly changed the subject and continued: "But no matter how much the troops paid, we finally broke the Eighth Route Army's night raid."

"As long as the troops successfully recapture Baoding, the first combat objective of the Kwantung Army going south will be accomplished."

…………

Zhaojia Village is the only way for Baoding to enter Wangdu.

For more than a month, although the Wangdu garrison group was fighting in Baoding, the local troops and guerrillas were not idle, and they had been organizing ordinary people to dig tunnels in the base area.

In the last anti-sweeping campaign, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army relied on tunnel fortifications to defeat the strong with the weak, not only defending the base area, saving the common people from the suffering of war, but also severely injuring the little devils' mopping-up troops.

Let all the people in the base area realize the power of tunnels.

The people who didn't support digging tunnels in the village before have all changed, and they help the guerrillas and local troops whenever they have time.

Thanks to the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the base area, the length of tunnels within the base area has more than tripled compared to the previous anti-mopping up campaign.

All villages along the highway are covered by tunnels.

Every household has an entrance and exit connected to the tunnel network, and there are also tunnel connections between villages.

In order to prevent the devils from digging trenches and cutting off the tunnel network, each village has dug at least two preparatory tunnels with a depth of ten meters to connect the outside of the village.

The 26th Regiment had just arrived, and everyone, including the leader Li Zhi, was frightened by the tunnel fortifications in front of them.

Li Yunlong especially likes to see them who have never seen the world, and said with a proud face: "How are you, are you all scared?"

"I didn't expect that the tunnel could be dug like this..."

"Tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are more powerful things to come."

"Otherwise, the last anti-sweep, our Yizhong base would not have defeated the strong with the weak and wiped out so many little devils."

"This time the superior chief transferred you to the Yizhong base to reinforce us, it is absolutely right."

"With such good tunnel fortifications in hand, it will be difficult for us not to win the battle. The big guys are waiting to reap the battle achievements."

"Let's move on and let you see what's even more powerful, how the troops use tunnels to fight devils."

Li Zhi has a lot of experience in combat, and his brain is very fast. He can understand a lot of things at once. He pointed to a shooting hole next to the tunnel and said, "There is a light machine gun here..."

"If little devils enter the tunnel, one shuttle can kill them all."

Li Yunlong answered immediately: "Machine guns are too wasteful, a [-]-cap is enough..."

"The [-]th cover has strong penetrating power. The tunnel is so narrow. If you shoot at close range, one bullet can penetrate at least two little devils."

After speaking, his face suddenly became very serious, and he looked at Li Zhi and analyzed it seriously: "The 26th regiment will have a mission next."

"Eat, sleep, move, all in the tunnel."

"Find out the tunnel in the shortest time and learn tunnel warfare..."

"After the sweep began, this was the first position where the Japanese army attacked Wangdu County."

"The Kwantung Army has never fought tunnel warfare and does not understand tunnel warfare. We must take advantage of their ignorance of tunnel warfare and teach them a hard lesson here."

"After the fight, the devils will definitely have a lot of worries about our army's tunnel warfare, which will affect their morale. Our army's morale can be boosted, and we can use the tunnel fortifications to continue killing devils."
