The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 789 Li Yunlong makes a move (first update)
Half a minute later, Okamura Ningji slumped on the chair, sighed, and waved his hand to signal the communications staff to leave. Obviously, he had approved the analysis of the deputy chief of staff in his heart and ignored the matter for the time being.

But it doesn't matter at all.

As soon as the communication staff left, he ordered the deputy chief of staff: "As you said just now, without a bloody lesson, the Kwantung Army's arrogant soldiers will definitely not pay attention to the headquarters' reminders, and pay attention to the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare."

"But we can't let the Eighth Route Army use tunnel warfare to consume a lot of mopping up troops."

"Once their battle damage ratio exceeds [-]%, we will lose this big sweep, and the Kwantung Army Command will not be able to explain it."

"Immediately contact the intelligence department and scouts operating in the Yizhong base area, closely monitor all the tunnel fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army along the road, and confirm their defensive strength."

"Once something unexpected happens to the sweeping forces, the headquarters will immediately provide them with intelligence support, allowing them to get out of the crisis and readjust their deployment."

…………

Jiuguan Town, Wangdu County, the final route for the Japanese Hashimoto Brigade to attack Wangdu County.

At nine o'clock in the morning, they successfully captured Lizhuang and entered the Yizhong base.

There, Major General Hashimoto saw the so-called tunnel.

I was shocked at first, and I admired this new combat method invented by the Eighth Route Army.

After learning that the Artillery Brigade destroyed all the entrances and exits of the tunnel after two rounds of artillery fire, and buried the Eighth Route Army underground, the status of the tunnel in his heart suddenly declined.

Originally, they planned to dig out one or two tunnel entrances and send people into the tunnel to have a look.

Seeing that the tunnel was so unexploded, I immediately gave up the idea of ​​tunneling.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the striker of the Hashimoto Brigade appeared at the entrance of Jiuguan Town.

A three-dimensional fortification consisting of three trenches blocked the entrance of Jiuguan Town. The trenches were connected by traffic trenches, and a large number of branch trenches were dug out, interlaced with a large number of light and heavy machine gun positions.

At first glance, it is clear that this blocking position is several times more difficult to fight than Li Zhuang.

Half an hour later, Major General Hashimoto appeared in the offensive position and ordered the artillery to set up the artillery while observing the terrain.

"Brigade Commander, there doesn't seem to be any Eighth Route Army on the ground... Maybe they were scared away..." The squadron leader of Devil's Forward Squadron looked suspicious.

Major General Hashimoto did not see any movement on the blocking position.

Everywhere was empty, and there was not a single figure of the Eighth Route Army in sight.

The original plan was to let the artillery bombard for a while, wait for the artillery to destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position, and then let the infantry rush up to finish and clean the battlefield.

If the Eighth Route Army defending Jiuguan Town really retreated without a fight and were scared away, it would be tantamount to wasting shells to bombard them when they came up.

Although the Kwantung Army is well-equipped and has sufficient ammunition, it is not so much that the shells do not cost money.

If it turns out that more than 1000 grams of shells hit a blocking position without enemies, I will definitely die of heartache.

Immediately changed his mind, stared at the battlefield and ordered seriously: "Arrange a team to rush up and have a look."

"If there are really no enemies on the battlefield."

"Direct occupation."

"If there are enemies on the ground, get back immediately and never get entangled with them."

"Another mortar squadron is prepared to provide fire cover, shelling the Eighth Route Army that may appear on the position at any time, and responding to the withdrawal of the probing troops from the battle."

The chief of staff of the brigade who followed immediately took orders: "Humble job, make arrangements now..."

In less than 3 minutes, an infantry squad of more than fifty little devils rushed out of the team and rushed towards the blocking position in a skirmish line.

One by one held their rifles flat in their hands, bent over, and looked straight ahead, very cautiously.

In case of an attack, everyone can lie on the ground and avoid bullets.

There was still no movement on the blocking position, it was quiet everywhere, and the appearance of the probing troops did not cause any movement.

"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army on the ground really fled without a fight, and withdrew..." This thought in Major General Hashimoto's mind became more and more intense.

The probing troops had rushed to 50 meters in front of the formation, but there was still no sound of firefighting from the blocking position, and not even a moving figure was seen.

"Boom boom boom..."

Dozens of grenades were thrown into the blocking position by the attacking troops. In the violent explosion, thick smoke quickly enveloped the trenches.

Until then, there was still no movement in the blocking position.

Under normal circumstances, the attacking force rushing here means taking the blocking position.

They can continue to throw grenades at the blocking position at this distance. No matter whether there are Eighth Route Army or how many Eighth Route Army are on the position, they will be blown up by the grenades and lose their combat effectiveness.

The attacking force can take the opportunity to kill the blocking position and take it down.

"General, there is really no Eighth Route Army on the blocking position..." the chief of staff said with a look of shock.

Seeing some troops rushing into the gunpowder and killing the blocking position, the smile on his face became wider. Seeing Major General Hashimoto, he continued to sigh: "It must be that there are too many recruits from the Eighth Route Army defending here. They dare not fight us, and they were scared away in advance. .”

This was the only explanation the brigade chief of staff could think of.

Facing the facts, Major General Hashimoto also had to admit that there was really no Eighth Route Army on the ground.

The worries about authenticity in my heart completely disappeared.

Neiji Okamura kept reminding them: how powerful the Yizhong Tunnel is, and how capable the Eighth Route Army can fight with the help of the tunnel.

In the end, they actually gave up on the tunnel, and collapsed without a fight...

Facts further prove that authenticity is not as powerful as Neji Okamura introduced.

Otherwise, how could the Eighth Route Army leave such a good fortification unused, retreat without fighting, and abandon Jiuguan Town?

The fifty or so soldiers of the attacking force had all rushed into the gunpowder, but they were still not attacked.

Facts further prove that there is no Eighth Route Army in the blocking position.

Major General Hashimoto's only worry was completely relaxed from this moment.

Just when he was about to put down the binoculars and transfer two squadrons to help the test troops to occupy Jiuguan Town, several gunshots suddenly sounded from the blocking position.

The gunshots suddenly became denser, and instantly turned into a burst of intense firefights.

The blocking position was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Although Major General Hashimoto immediately raised his binoculars, he couldn't see anything except the sound of firefights.

In this case, even if he wanted artillery reinforcements on the battlefield, there was no way to reinforce them, so he had to wait.

And this time, the probation team was left waiting.

The firefight came and went quickly.

In less than a minute before and after, the blocking position was restored to tranquility.

The gunpowder smoke hanging there also began to be blown away by the wind.

At a glance, there was nothing but trenches and various machine gun positions.

Even dozens of soldiers from the probing team disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

"Where's the test troops?" Major General Hashimoto's eyes widened. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find the soldiers. He immediately looked at the chief of staff.

"I didn't find them in humble positions..." The chief of staff frowned, shook his head, and answered helplessly.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and he didn't wrinkle any further. He suddenly took a deep breath and said, "General, something must have happened to them."

"There is the Eighth Route Army on the ground, and they are deliberately put into the blocking position, gathered and wiped out."

"The sound of the exchange of fire just now must be that the Eighth Route Army is completely annihilating our army's test troops."
