The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 97 Kong Jie's Confidence (First Order)
Captain Hiraoka was the supreme commander of the Japanese army at the Zhuma Village stronghold.

After the addition of members of the Yamamoto Special Team arrived, Captain Hiraoka's good days came to an end.

Although the opponent has only about forty members, the leader of the team, Koizumi Ichiro, is a major, with a rank one level higher than him.
In the highly hierarchical Japanese army, the higher the rank, the higher the power and status.

No matter what decision he made these days, Captain Hiraoka had to ask Major Koizumi for instructions, making others think that Koizumi Ichiro was the supreme commander of the Zhuma Village stronghold!

Of course, the arrival of Major Koizumi is not without any benefits.

The secret service team has high hopes from the front army headquarters, and all kinds of treatment have always been the best in the army.

Their arrival not only brought a large amount of ammunition to the stronghold, but also brought various supplies.

Ordinary soldiers can only get a can of beef in four or five days, but the secret service team has an unlimited supply, and they can eat as much as they want...

The garrison at the stronghold has benefited from them, and the food has at least doubled in the past few days.

It also solved the problem of the shortage of troops in the stronghold, which made it difficult for me to relieve my tense nerves.

Before they came, including the Imperial Association Army, the strength of the stronghold was only in the early [-]s.

Not only to protect the security of the stronghold, but also to set up checkpoints on the nearby roads, to check the passing people, and to guard the more than [-] prisoners of war in the stronghold, which is very insufficient.

Captain Hiraoka was tense every day, for fear that there would be a loophole in the defense of the stronghold, which would give the enemy an opportunity, or that some prisoners would escape from his hands.

After Ichiro Koizumi arrived, the captives immediately became training targets for the secret service team, and there was no longer any need for strongholds to send people to guard them. The pressure on Captain Hiraoka's shoulders suddenly eased a lot.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Captain Hiraoka and Major Koizumi just finished drinking sake and went back to the room to rest slightly drunk.

Eight two-story small artillery towers were distributed on the fence of the stronghold, and each of the small artillery towers was stationed with five devils and a squad of puppet troops.

The night was getting darker and the temperature was getting lower and lower. Except for the two puppet soldiers who were yawning in the corner of the roof, the other Japanese and puppet troops were all huddled on the first and second floors and sleeping soundly.

The four-story central blockhouse stood in the center of the stronghold, and Captain Hiraoka lived in it with more than twenty of his subordinates.

The secret service team brought by Ichiro Koizumi and more than a hundred puppet soldiers lived in two rows of bungalows behind the gun building. In this world with almost no entertainment, they had already fallen asleep.

Outside the stronghold, the [-]st Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the more than [-] soldiers of the artillery company did not say a word, and slowly moved forward under the leadership of their respective company platoon leaders!

"Da da da……"

A series of machine gun shots broke the silence of the night, and suddenly sounded from the northeast corner of the gun tower. Under the darkness, Kong Jielian could clearly see the flames from the muzzle of the machine gun.

"We've been exposed, the troops rushed forward quickly, no need to hide anymore, and set up an offensive position [-] meters away from the gun tower!" Kong Jie put down the binoculars and ordered confidently!
"The artillery company keeps up and establishes an artillery position behind the infantry!"

"Push the trolley we prepared in advance. Only by forcing all the devils in the stronghold into the gun tower can our artillery cause the greatest damage to them!"

"Da da da……"

The gunfire on the outer wall of the stronghold became more and more intense. At least four light machine guns and seventy to eighty rifles were firing.

However, the independent regiment was too far away from the stronghold, the night was too dark, and the intensive gunfire only achieved sporadic results. Most of the soldiers successfully advanced to a position two hundred meters away from the stronghold.

Those who piled sandbags piled sandbags, those who dug trenches dug trenches, and soldiers filled ammunition boxes with soil and piled them in front of them to block bullets...

Inside the stronghold, the Japanese and puppet troops have become a mess.

Captain Hiraoka climbed to the top of the gun tower as soon as he was awakened by the gunfire.

After only observing for a few seconds, Koizumi Ichiro climbed up: "Mr. Hiraoka, is the stronghold attacked by the enemy!"

"Hayi..." Captain Pinggang pointed to the Eighth Route Army outside and replied: "There are Eighth Route Army troops in four directions!"

"The total force exceeds [-] people. I don't know if there will be any follow-up troops. The offensive firepower is temporarily unknown. An offensive position is being established [-] meters away!"

"Our opponents are very cunning: [-] meters is just beyond the effective range of the submachine guns of the secret service team, and the shooting accuracy of the rifles is also very poor. We can only attack them with grenades and mortars!" Ichiro Koizumi instantly saw what Kong Jie was doing. For the real purpose, he began to give orders as soon as his face sank, regardless of the identity of Captain Hiraoka's stronghold commander.

"You immediately arrange grenadier soldiers to counterattack to prevent the Eighth Route Army from establishing an offensive position outside the stronghold."

"All other troops enter the position, and when the enemy attacks, shoot, and kill all the Eighth Route Army who want to attack the stronghold."

Captain Hiraoka felt very uncomfortable. He was the supreme commander of the stronghold, and now he was reduced to listening to other people's orders on his own territory.

But the first rank of the official ranks crushes people, who makes Ichiro Koizumi have a higher military rank than him.

No matter how uncomfortable you are in your heart, you have to hold back and nod your head!
Before leaving, I asked: "Should we report the attack on the stronghold to the brigade headquarters, and ask the surrounding strongholds to send troops to reinforce us?"

Koizumi Ichiro refused without hesitation: "That's not necessary!"

"Forty or so members of the secret service team can easily fight against a main battalion of the Eighth Route Army. There are also garrison teams and the Imperial Association Army to assist in the defense. We can completely defend the stronghold on our own and repel the Eighth Route Army's attack..."

"I also happened to let the supplementary team members see the blood!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Six grenades quickly fell outside the stronghold, killing nearly ten soldiers in an instant.

A flash of heartache flashed across Kong Jie's face, but he quickly regained his composure. While observing the battle situation, he ordered: "The grenadier squad of the first battalion will counterattack immediately, knock down as many grenadier doors as possible!"

"If you can't knock it out, you must also knock down the arrogance of the devil grenadiers, disperse their firepower, and reduce the pressure on the infantry's anti-aircraft guns."

In previous battles, even if the Eighth Route Army was equipped with grenadiers, the scarcity of ammunition made it impossible for them to counterattack the Japanese grenadier attacks, and they could only be passively bombed.

The dozen or so grenadier soldiers in the stronghold participated in the battle with this mentality, completely unaware that the danger was approaching them.

After firing three grenades outwards in a row, more than a dozen grenadiers still had no intention of moving their positions.

The fourth grenade was stuffed into the gun barrel and was just about to be fired when the same number of grenades happened to be on top of their heads and fell from the sky to their sides...

The two grenadiers and the six grenadiers were instantly overwhelmed by the flames of the explosion...

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army also has grenade launchers, move immediately!" A devil carried the grenade launcher and moved to the side, his reaction speed was stronger than that of a rabbit, and he ran very fast...

When the second round of grenades fell, there was no living person on the ground except for the bodies of a few dead devils.

In the central gun tower, Koizumi Ichiro was also taken aback by the sudden grenadier attack, and quickly added an order: "The grenadier soldiers change the attack target and kill the grenadiers equipped by the Eighth Route Army first!"

"Otherwise our firepower will be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army as soon as it is exposed..."

Without the grenade threat, the bullets fired by the infantry machine guns were all blocked by the bunkers, and the pressure on the infantry's anti-aircraft guns suddenly disappeared, and the construction speed of the offensive positions was significantly accelerated!
