The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 793 Li Yunlong: This kind of devil is the most difficult to deal with (first update)
"Notify the artillery to immediately cover the Eighth Route Army's blocking position with artillery fire. Mortars, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, field artillery, and heavy artillery, all participate in the battle." Major General Hashimoto suddenly ordered to the chief of staff.

"But..." The chief of staff subconsciously refused.

After seeing the appraisal expression on the brigade leader's face, the objection that had already reached his lips immediately turned into a reminder.

"General, there are still our people on the battlefield. If we shoot now, shouldn't we also blow them up?"

"Please think twice..."

"Wait another 5 minutes, and the attacking troops will definitely be able to withdraw from the battlefield... It won't be too late for us to fire."

Major General Hashimoto shook his head: "They can't withdraw."

"From the beginning of the retreat to the present, only 2 minutes have passed, and the attacking force has lost nearly two teams."

"The Yi County position was also returned by the Eighth Route Army and blocked in front of the retreating troops."

"If they want to withdraw from the battlefield, they must first regain the Yi County position. The Eighth Route Army will definitely not give them this opportunity."

"While there are still our people on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army is all concentrated on the ground to fight against them. Our artillery suddenly joins the battle, and it will definitely severely damage the Eighth Route Army's participating troops."

"Otherwise, when the Eighth Route Army gets back into the tunnel again, we won't be able to blow up many Eighth Route Army troops."

"The attacking force dies in vain."

"Execute the order, the artillery will fire now."

"I don't want the children to be caught by wolves. Only by fighting like this can we severely damage the Eighth Route Army that is blocking us."

Major General Hashimoto’s words were well-founded. Although the chief of staff felt sorry for the surviving soldiers on the battlefield, he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order: "The humble officer will give orders now..."

…………

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The shells with the screaming sound quickly hit the battlefield, the flames splashed, and the smoke billowed. Many soldiers from both the enemy and the enemy were blown away in the explosion.

Major General Hashimoto saw clearly through the binoculars.

The chief of staff also saw it, and the expression of heartache on his face was replaced by excitement.

Among the soldiers who were blown away just now, the Eighth Route Army obviously outnumbered the attacking troops.

It means that the number of the Eighth Route Army active on the battlefield far exceeds that of the attacking troops. The brigade commander was right in his judgment just now.

Only by firing now can it be possible to severely injure the Eighth Route Army with shelling.

If the Eighth Route Army retreated into the tunnel after the attacking troops withdrew from the battle, no matter how fierce the artillery fire was, it would only blow up some tunnel entrances and exits, not a single Eighth Route Army soldier.

Compared with the excitement of the devils, the head of the 25th regiment, Zhou, was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

With the devil still around, shells fell from the sky like rain, completely disregarding the safety of his own people.

Although the troops retreated to the tunnel entrance at the first time, trying to get back to the tunnel to avoid the artillery fire, but the artillery fire came so suddenly that many soldiers were blown over before they had time to react.

"You little bastard, you even bombed your own people, you're no better than a beast..." Commander Zhou cursed as he returned to the headquarters.

"The head of the devil brigade is very smart..." Li Yunlong didn't curse, but his expression was obviously much more serious than when he counterattacked just now.

Frowning and analyzing: "They deserve to be the Kwantung Army with the strongest combat effectiveness among the little devils."

"Kill decisively."

"Nearly a hundred soldiers died, if you don't want it, you don't want it."

"Such opponents are the most difficult to deal with."

"Don't look at the devils who lost nearly a hundred people in the shelling, but because our troops were also on the ground and had no time to retreat to the tunnel, the losses must be more than the devils, at least 200 people."

"They have more troops than us, but they had a one-to-two casualty ratio in the artillery attack just now."

"If we continue to fight like this in every subsequent battle, the Devils will be able to wipe us out if they lose one more regiment at most."

"Notify the troops, try not to leave the tunnel during the next battle, it doesn't matter if you kill less devils."

"It must be ensured that the soldiers can quickly enter the tunnel to avoid the artillery fire after being attacked by the artillery fire."

"What we have is tunnel fortifications to fight with little devils slowly."

"I didn't play well here, and I can find a way to make up for it later."

"But there are only so many troops participating in the war, and there will be no one left after fighting them all."

"Only by keeping the troops can we have a chance to fight the war of attrition with the little devils."

The head of the 25th regiment, Zhou, stopped cursing, looked at Li Yunlong and said in agreement: "It's really..."

"I will inform every soldier of the 25th Regiment of this order now."

"I'm going to fight the little devils next, so I absolutely can't get out of the tunnel and expose myself to the devil's artillery fire."

"As long as people are alive, we have plenty of opportunities to compete with the devils. But if people are gone, no amount of tunnel fortifications will be of use in the future. We can only watch the Kwantung Army drive straight into the hinterland of our base."

…………

The Japanese army attacked the position, and the chief of staff walked up to Major General Hashimoto with a complicated expression, followed by a lieutenant.

"General, the process of the battle just now has been investigated."

"This is a lieutenant who has just returned from the battlefield. According to his account, our army's first round of artillery coverage did not completely destroy the tunnel entrances and exits on the position."

"When the attacking troops crossed the Yixian position and continued to attack the second-line positions, the Eighth Route Army in the hidden tunnel suddenly came out from the tunnel entrance and attacked the attacking troops with rifles, grenades, and Molotov cocktails."

"The Eighth Route Army relied on the tunnel fortifications, elusive, moved away when attacked, and never entangled with our army. As a result, the attacking troops could only be passively beaten, and suffered great losses."

Their captain had no choice but to order a squadron to go into the tunnel in an attempt to hold back the Eighth Route Army that was attacking them and disrupt the rhythm of the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack.

"As a result, the Eighth Route Army in the tunnel seemed to be invincible."

"There are still a large number of soldiers sneaking up on the attacking troops from other tunnel entrances and exits."

"A multi-squadron that entered the tunnel also encountered an accident in the tunnel, and disappeared as many as they went in, and none of them escaped."

Speaking of this, the chief of staff's expression was obviously much more serious than at the beginning, watching Major General Hashimoto express his thoughts immediately: "Brigade Commander, I think we have seriously underestimated the power of tunnel warfare."

"A squadron of soldiers entered the tunnel, and they were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army without even setting off a wave."

"The humble job has fought for so many years, and I have never encountered such a strange battle."

Major General Hashimoto also looked more serious than before, but he didn't agree with the chief of staff's analysis in his heart, so he shook his head and answered.

"The soldiers who entered the tunnel were wiped out. It's easy to explain."

"The tunnel was dug by the Eighth Route Army, and there must be a lot of traps inside. The Eighth Route Army is also more familiar with the direction of the tunnel than us."

"The army hastily entered the tunnel, no different from a blind man."

"It's hard for a blind man to fight against a normal person, but also to face the ubiquitous traps."

"Inform the troops that in the upcoming battle, no one can enter the tunnel without absolute certainty."

"We still use the old method to destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position, block the enemies in the tunnel, and suffocate them to death."

"Let the artillery fire for another 10 minutes. The troops have enough artillery shells. They must destroy all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position before launching a new round of attack."
