The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 230
Almost at the same time when the battle broke out, the two devils in the front row of the Japanese army directly stepped on the landmine.

The ghost soldiers who followed were frightened and quickly took a few steps back, away from the direction of the minefield.

Yamazaki and the adjutant in the rear emergency command were a little dumbfounded.

be cheated!
It was clear that landmines were planted in this narrow alley, and those Eighth Route Army soldiers who fled earlier were definitely acting, they escaped by avoiding these landmines.

Just like what the adjutant said, this is a trick of the Eighth Route Army to lure the enemy deep.

"Baga, counterattack with firepower!" The old devil Yamazaki, whose arrogance was deeply rooted in his bones, roared. The first time Yamazaki's brigade was attacked, Yamazaki's reaction was not to retreat, but to counterattack. Let him realize that after breaking through this line of sky, there will definitely be an important military location for the Eighth Route Army.

The follow-up firepower of the guard company was launched in an instant, and the soldiers followed the order of the company commander Wei Dayong, and the explosive packs and grenades on hand were the first to throw towards the devil's supply squadron and artillery squadron.

These basic ranged blasting firepower are actually not taken seriously by the little devils on the conventional battlefield. After all, if the grenades and explosives are thrown manually, they can't be thrown too far.

On the battlefield, the devil's machine guns and grenades can easily suppress the Eighth Route Army's grenades and explosives.

But at this moment, the sky and the precipitous terrain doomed the battlefield here to be unusual.

Just imagine, the mountains on both sides are tens of meters high, and a high-altitude parabolic is dangerous enough. It is no exaggeration to say that even if the Eighth Route Army soldiers hidden on both sides of the mountain throw a slightly larger stone down, as long as they can hit small and medium Devils, little devils are seriously injured even if they don't die, even the steel helmets on their heads can't save them.

The impact caused by such a large boulder cannot be eliminated by a small helmet.

And the high-altitude throwing in front of him is even more dangerous weapons such as grenades and explosives, which is even more terrifying.

The guard company also has members of Wang Gensheng's bombing team. Several members are familiar with the performance of grenades and grenades.

Before the battle started, several team members explained to the soldiers:
"The air blast is the most lethal. If it was made in our border area, the delay is too short. Just throw it down after tearing off the fuse. The height of our mountain is not low. If you want a grenade to explode next to the devil, you even have to Give it a little more force and throw it downward."

"The devil's grenade has a longer delay. After pinching it in the hand for two seconds, and then aiming at the target, you don't need to apply too much force, just throw it lightly."

"After the specific battle started, we experimented and then adjusted everyone's throwing."

Right before the battle started, the soldiers immediately threw grenades in the air according to the instructions.

After a little experimentation, several members of the grenade throwing team mastered the law of air blasts, and immediately communicated the adjustment plan to the surrounding soldiers.

Therefore, after the small grenade was thrown from the sky by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army from the high altitude of the mountain at this moment, the power it displayed horrified the little devil.

It is estimated that four or five of the ten can explode in the air, and they exploded suddenly at a height less than half a meter away from the Japanese army's team. It's just a big piece.

As for the more powerful dynamite pack, let alone the explosives, tear off the fuse and throw it down. Within a radius of ten meters, the little devil will be injured if he touches it.

At this time, one side is condescending, and grenades can be used as mortars.

The other party was looking up at the sky, and under the gap of the sky, there was no dead angle at all, and they were counterattacking with firepower without defense.

The devil's marksmanship is good, but so what?
When the Eighth Route Army soldiers were shooting, they could even grab a handful of stones first and throw them towards the target. The little devils would not dare to concentrate on shooting, but the Eighth Route Army soldiers took the opportunity to fire.

The two sides decided to judge each other, which is the help that absolute geographical advantage brings to the war.

Coupled with the nine machine guns condescending in the first row and the second row (the third row left the machine guns when they left), under the cover of crossfire, there were loud gunshots in the sky, and the little devil looked up at the sky to counterattack in the gap, even Feeling a little dizzy, just feel that the whole world is full of firepower.

Life can be harvested at any time.

As for the heavy squadron and artillery squadron that were hit hard, after the monk commanded the soldiers, a large number of grenades and explosives were thrown over.

Casualties of the devil's heavy soldiers and artillery spread rapidly, and even an infantry gun was hit by an explosive package and was directly blown up.

At this moment, the arrogant Yamazaki finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to break through the Yixiantian, although he thought that the exit of the Yixiantian seemed not far away.

"Immediately cover the baggage and artillery retreat!"

Yamazaki issued an order, and the Japanese brigade counterattacked while covering the baggage and the artillery squadron in an orderly manner to retreat.

Noticing that the devils began to retreat, the monk knew exactly what this meant. It was difficult for the Japanese artillery to launch a counterattack under the cracks of the sky, so the ambush in front of him could temporarily make the devils helpless.

But once the devils pulled the artillery out of Yiyitian, the Japanese army could immediately bombard the mountains on both sides of Yixiantian and counterattack the guard company.

Aware of this, the monk commanded the soldiers to continue to kill the rear of the Japanese army who were still in the first line of the world and had not had time to withdraw.

After the Japanese mountain artillery squadron completely withdrew from Yixiantian, the monk quickly ordered: "Quick, everyone withdraws from the front line immediately and retreats to the reverse slope!"

When the order was issued, the banner soldiers conveyed the monk's order to the second row through the banner language.

The soldiers moved quickly, took all kinds of weapons, and quickly retreated from the front fortifications to the back of the ridges of the mountains on both sides.

boom -

Almost as soon as the soldiers withdrew, the devil's artillery came back.

The fierce artillery fire directly completely submerged the forward fortification where the soldiers were just now.

In the big bang, rocks splashed and trees were smashed, it was really shocking.

Watching the devil's artillery counterattack, the platoon leader said with lingering fear: "Company commander, fortunately we retreated in time, otherwise the round of artillery fire in front of us would have almost wiped out our two platoons."

As for the front, the soldiers hid behind the ridgeline of the mountain, and the devil's direct artillery fire was useless at all.

As for the curved artillery fire, it also requires an angle, and the devils don't know the specific hiding position of the guard company, and the shells also cannot reach the blind area of ​​the reverse slope.

"Hey, company commander, the reverse slope tactic that the team leader mentioned, don't tell me, it's really effective!"

The monk said: "With the existence of this reverse slope, the devil's artillery can't threaten us for the time being. It takes time for the devil to pass through the sky. Brothers, after the devil's artillery stops for a while, don't rush to move, be careful The devil deliberately ceased fire, tricked us into showing our heads, and first sent forward observation posts to confirm the situation, and then everyone returned to the combat fortifications."

"Yes!"

The leader of the first row said happily: "Company commander, the devil entered the first line of sky, just now when we sneaked in, the little devil will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

Although the battle just now lasted only a few minutes, the number of devils we wiped out should be close to one hundred. If we count the casualties, it must be more than one squadron.

Company commander, do you think we have offended the little devil? "

The monk smiled and said nothing.

Has the devil been annoyed? Outside the entrance of Yixiantian, the old devil Yamazaki with a bluish face is the best answer.

The casualties on the Japanese side were similar to those estimated by the platoon leader.

Although only more than 70 people were killed in battle, there were even more than one squadron injured. These wounded needed other soldiers to take care of them, which directly weakened the strength of the Yamazaki Brigade to a large extent.

In addition to the dead soldiers and artillery, as well as the infantry artillery that was blown up, it is no exaggeration to say that the Yamazaki Brigade directly lost nearly one-third of its combat power in terms of the ambush just now.

If Yamazaki could not make new progress in this military operation, based on the immediate loss, perhaps he would have to commit suicide by caesarean section to apologize to the emperor.

"Continue to bombard!"

After the artillery fire stopped for 2 minutes, Yamazaki gave another order.

This artillery counterattack is more of a retaliatory element.

As for how many Eighth Route Army troops were killed, Yamazaki has no idea now.

The Eighth Route Army's ambush in Yixiantian really caught him by surprise. He now regrets that he didn't listen to the adjutant's advice earlier, so he could have been more cautious. After exploring both sides of the mountain, he would consider entering Yixiantian.

The same disheveled adjutant came over to comfort him and said: "Sir, the Tuba Road actually set up an ambush here, which means that after passing through the narrow road in front of us, there must be an important military location of the Eighth Route Army. can win big!"

This is indeed an exciting victory!
Thinking of this, Yamazaki decided to march to the sky again.

Of course, while the vanguard entered the first-line sky, Yamazaki ordered the mountain artillery squadron to continue bombarding the Eighth Route Army on both sides of the mountain to cover the vanguard to break through the first-line sky.

…………

At the same time, on the other side, the arsenal was the first to hear the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the sky.

Fortunately, the monk sent soldiers over in advance to convey the news that the devils had entered the first-line sky to the responsible department of the arsenal.

The cadres of the arsenal did not panic, and reported the situation to their superiors immediately.

Word spread quickly:

A Japanese army brigade touched the first line of sky. At this moment, the guard company of the Independent Regiment was blocking the Japanese army in the direction of the first line of sky.

Headquarters, the boss who heard the news was furious and said: "What are the troops stationed along the way doing? More than 500 devils have touched the hinterland of our base, and they have all gone to the first line of the sky. There is no information beforehand? Once If the devil breaks through the sky, our army's arsenal and field hospital will be destroyed, who will take the responsibility?"

The deputy chief of staff comforted: "Boss, don't worry. Fortunately, we have a guard company stationed in the first line of the sky."

"It's a blessing in misfortune. By the way, which unit did you say this guard company is from?"

"It's the guard company of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie's troops."

"This kid, why is he everywhere?"

At first, it sounded like accusatory words, but after finishing speaking, the original anger of the boss dissipated, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Since the Battle of Cangyunling, Kong Jie, who has always been well-behaved, seems to be a bit out of sorts. It's the same, and when the cavalry company raided Qu County, this kid gave us all a big surprise.

Later, the Yangquan stronghold where the devils were laid down was also a good leader of the independent regiment.

The Mingbao Airport of the Japanese army was bombed two days ago, and when I inquired about it, guess what?Kong Jie did it again.

In addition, the militia military training manual sent by the brigade commander not long ago, plus a few manuals on special operations tactics.

When it is true that it is only three days later, when you look at him with admiration, this kid Kong Jie is now more and more able to stand on his own! "

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "Yes, boss, I am also surprised! I have never seen any general with such an exaggerated speed of progress."

"In ancient times, there was a king of Zhuang of Chu, who would be famous if he didn't make a name for himself. Now it seems that it is indeed true. This honest and well-behaved man usually looks like a well-behaved man, but once he is exposed, he is really outstanding." The boss laughed.

"By the way, who is the commander of Kong Jie's guard company?"

"My name is Wei Dayong, who was rescued by Kong Jie from the devil's prisoner of war. I heard that he has been a monk in Shaolin Temple for ten years, so he has the nickname Monk. He is skilled in martial arts. He used to be the squad leader of the Central Army. Kong Jie.

This is a mighty general. It is said that in a battle, the two sides started hand-to-hand combat. Monk Wei stabbed to death more than a dozen devils with a red-tasseled gun. At that time, this kid was not yet full, and he was brave. . "...
