Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 622 Vulnerability
In landing operations, the most dangerous time should be when the landing troops are still on the water.

Therefore, there is such a sentence when dealing with landing operations on the battlefield: "Kill the enemy on the water."

Except, of course, the eagle sauce.

Because Yingjiang can use warships and aircraft to blow up the enemy's coastal defenses for days and nights before landing, so for Yingjiang, all the facilities and fortifications set up on the shore are in vain.

On the Pacific battlefield, the devils realized this at a later stage, so they gave up the strategy of "eliminating the enemy on the water", and instead allowed Yingjiang to land and chose to build tunnels on the island to fight a war of attrition.

The devils at this time did not have this level of understanding.

But the Eighth Route Army is not Yingjiang, without their firepower.

Therefore, if it is a serious landing battle with the devils in the daytime, the [-] landing ships of the Eighth Route Army are almost the same as courting death... The devils only need one shot to blow up the salt lake. A landing ship with poor sinkability and stability may sink half of it in the first place.

Fortunately, none of this happened. The devils were still fighting happily with the Eighth Route Army harassment troops on the two wings, but they knew nothing about the movement of the lake.

The 226th Regiment was stationed in the south of Yuncheng, and the leader of the regiment, Kamitake Osaku, was observing the enemy's situation with a telescope at the top of the city.

The person who reported to Anda 23 that he was being heavily bombed by the Eighth Route Army's jet artillery was actually Uetake himself... When Anda 23 asked, he hastily excused that his subordinates lied about the enemy's situation.

In fact, if there was a violent bombing, how could he, the captain of the regiment, not know?

Those were the enemy's shells, and the shells hit their own position. You could hear how many shells were bombing and the degree of bombing.

However, Shangzhu guessed correctly on one point. At this time, the Eighth Route Army was concentrating more than a dozen rocket launchers aimed at this direction, but they hadn't fired yet.

Uetake Osamu looked at the battle situation in the telescope and felt a little strange. The enemy's offensive seemed like a feint but not like a feint.

A normal feint attack should be to invest a considerable amount of troops so that the opponent has to use a considerable amount of troops to respond.

This is also the purpose of a feint attack, to hold back the enemy's forces.

But the Eighth Route Army in front of them... They seemed to just want to make some noise. For example, there was no attack from the imperial army in a certain area, but the sound of gunshots and grenade explosions rang out.

This obviously cannot play the role of holding back the troops.

Senior Zuo Shangzhu felt a little strange. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has so much ammunition recently that it can be wasted like this?
But if it wasn't a feint attack, what was the Eighth Route Army doing?

What is the purpose of doing this?

If Wang Xuexin knew that the devil would think of this, he should invest more troops in a serious feint.

But Wang Xuexin relented. He thought that the casualties would be too great, so he just asked the covering troops to "make some noise."

Unexpectedly, this made the devil suspicious.

Senior Zuo Shangzhu thought for a while, then pointed to a direction in the darkness, and ordered to the adjutant: "Send a small team to that location to check, which army is fighting the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!" The adjutant replied, and immediately rang the phone to convey the order.

The ghost moved very quickly, and the reply came within a few minutes.

"Your Excellency!" the adjutant reported disdainfully, "there are no troops fighting the Eighth Route Army. The enemy is shooting randomly at the bunker in the dark, and throwing grenades at us from a long distance!"

Then the adjutant came to a conclusion: "This is the Eighth Route Army testing our army's firepower. Don't these cowards dare to come closer?"

The adjutant took it for granted that this was an act of cowardice by the Eighth Route Army, that the enemy did not dare to attack in the dark and showed his superiors... This kind of thing often happened in the puppet army. When the devils sent the puppet army to the battlefield, the puppet army often Just shooting into the empty space and pretending to fight fiercely with the enemy, the adjutant thought that this was also the case when the Eighth Route Army did it.

Master Uetake thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yongdao, how long have you been fighting with the Eighth Route Army?"

The adjutant thought for a while and replied, "It should have been more than a year since I was transferred to Shanxi!"

Master Shangzhu asked again: "So, in the past year or so, have you ever seen the Eighth Route Army fighting for life and fearing death?"

The adjutant thought for a while, and then replied: "Your Excellency said that, it is indeed suspicious! This is not the style of the Eighth Route Army!"

Senior Zuo Shangzhu nodded: "Although the Eighth Route Army also has the situation of being greedy for life and fearing death, there are very few of them. This is an army with poor equipment and difficult conditions. If they don't even have morale and courage, then it is impossible for them to survive until now. , and it is impossible to become our confidant's serious trouble!"

The adjutant couldn't help asking: "Then, Your Excellency, why did the Eighth Route Army do this?"

This is also where Uetake Osamu felt strange, so he remained silent.

They deliberately make noise, it must be to cover up other voices.

But what voices can the Eighth Route Army have to cover up?

chariot?

Unlikely!

The narrowest part of the passage formed by the city wall and the salt lake on both sides is only a few hundred meters. If the chariots enter this passage to attack the bunker and the city wall, it is tantamount to courting death. They will only huddle there and become an excellent target for artillery.

Besides chariots, what else does the Eighth Route Army need to cover up?
At this time, Master Uetake faintly heard a different sound coming from the darkness, it seemed to be the sound of a motor, and it seemed to be the sound of paddling water.

salt lake?

Kamitake was startled, and immediately ordered: "Flare, hit the lake!"

The adjutant was shocked by what Kamitake Osamu said, it turned out to be the surface of the lake?This is impossible!
Although the adjutant thought so in his heart, his movements did not stop at all, and he immediately shouted to the communication soldier: "Three shots from the lighting side, right in front of the lake!"

Soon, several flares flew into the dark sky with a few "booms", and then released a dazzling light in the air, illuminating the originally dark lake surface like daytime.

Then everyone was stunned.

Under the light of the flares, it was clear that there were ships approaching, and on those ships were tanks...

"Artillery!" The next second, Chief Umitake exclaimed, "Organize artillery bombardment immediately!"

"Contact the artillery!" the adjutant yelled at the signaler, "Also, drop the mortar! There's the third squadron..."

The 226rd Squadron is the reserve of the [-]th Wing and is used in emergency situations to fight fires.

It was probably the first time in the history of devil warfare that the reserve team was used before the battle started.

But it seemed too late at this time, because the landing ship was only more than 100 meters away from the shore, and the Devil Artillery did not set the parameters of the salt lake, and they even needed test firing to complete the accurate bombing.
