The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The faces of the commander and the chief of staff were covered in shadow.

The captain of the regiment was the first to react and analyzed with a stern face: "It's a heavy artillery..."

"The Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong possesses a regiment of large-caliber heavy artillery, which is its trump card."

"Suddenly letting the heavy artillery regiment join the battle shows that they are bound to win our 105th Regiment..."

The chief of staff's face also became particularly ugly, and he analyzed with a stern face: "Although we also have a heavy artillery brigade, we already participated in the battle in advance during the artillery battle just now..."

"The Eighth Route Army Heavy Artillery Regiment suddenly took action, and the first round of shots hit one of our artillery positions... We will probably lose this artillery battle. It depends on how long the artillery regiment can withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army Heavy Artillery Regiment."

"The longer they hold out, the better it is for the infantry defensive position."

"Otherwise, the two brigades on the position will be attacked by the Eighth Route Army infantry and artillery, which will put great pressure on our defense."

The regiment has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows this better than the chief of staff.

He put down his telescope and ordered the combat staff on standby: "Tell the artillery unit..."

"Even if we fight to the death, we must find a way to hold back the Eighth Route Army's artillery units, especially their heavy artillery units."

"Otherwise, the two infantry brigades defending the garrison will definitely not be able to survive the arrival of reinforcements."

"Rumble..."

As soon as the commander's order came out, a new round of explosions reached his ears again, which was far worse than the previous explosion.

Following the sound, I saw dozens of huge fireballs at least ten meters high suddenly rising from the frontal blocking position. Thick smoke was billowing and filled with gunpowder smoke. The sound of firefights on the battlefield was also weakened a lot because of this round of explosions.

"It's a flying thunder cannon..." The captain's eyes widened quickly, and he shouted with shock on his face.

Then he yelled at the battlefield: "Bagh Ya Road..."

"What do our artillerymen who reinforce the blocking force do for food..."

"The Eighth Route Army even placed its flying thunder cannon right under the eyes of the blocking troops without even noticing..."

"Immediately use mortars and grenades to counterattack, destroy all the flying thunder cannons in front of the formation, and we must not let the Eighth Route Army throw a second round of explosives at our blocking position, quickly..."

After speaking, he gave orders to the chief of staff on the side.

"The explosive packets fired by the thunder cannon are very powerful, no less powerful than heavy artillery shells."

"The troops defending the position just now must have suffered heavy casualties. If the Eighth Route Army takes the opportunity to launch a general offensive, they will never be able to withstand it."

"Immediately dispatch two reinforced squadrons from the town to reinforce the battlefield. They must be fast. We must not let the Eighth Route Army take the opportunity to attack our station."

…………

The Eighth Route Army Front Enemy Headquarters.

Huang Yu also saw footage of thunder cannons attacking Japanese offensive positions.

In the sky-high flames, large swaths of little devils were blown away, and many bunkers made of sandbags were also razed to the ground in the explosion.

The attacking troops did have the idea of ​​​​taking the opportunity to break through the Japanese blocking position.

As soon as the explosion ended, the two companies of troops rushed out of the offensive position.

But the Japanese army responded too quickly.

Although there were only a few Japs left in the blocking position, all the mortars mounted behind the blocking position were intact.

Dozens of mortars fell from the sky and hit right in the middle of the attacking troops, destroying a reinforced platoon on the spot.

Mortars are known for their fast rate of fire. If the attacking troops were allowed to continue to attack with dozens of mortars, they might be completely blown away by artillery shells before they reached the Japanese blocking position. "Let the offensive troops withdraw immediately, and the artillery counterattack immediately, and do everything possible to destroy the Japanese mortar unit that was just exposed." Huang Yu ordered with a frown.

He raised his telescope again and looked at the battlefield.

I happened to see two reinforced squadrons of the Japanese army coming out of the town and heading straight to the blocking battlefield.

This scene made his frown instantly relax.

Pushing all the Japanese army's limited forces into the blocking position was also one of the important reasons why he stormed the Japanese blocking position.

The Japanese army deployed two squadrons at once to reinforce the battlefield, which meant that there were only two infantry squadrons and one tank squadron left in the town.

If he could force out another squadron, he could blossom in the center and give the little devil a pincer attack from both inside and outside.

Immediately ordered: "Send the thunder cannons that can still be used on the battlefield secretly to the forefront of the battlefield again."

"The artillery cover used artillery fire to block the view of the Japanese blocking troops, giving the flying thunder artillery troops time to set up artillery, and then threw a round of explosive packets towards the Japanese blocking positions, severely damaging the Japanese reinforcements and forcing the Japanese to continue to mobilize troops from the town to reinforce the battlefield. "

"Boom boom boom..."

The logistics divisions equipped by the offensive troops immediately took action with mortars, and the shells hit the Japanese blocking positions as if they were free.

Firelight splashed and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Soon the Japanese blocking position was covered by artillery fire, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.

The more than 20 thunder cannons that could still be used by the attacking troops were quickly sent to the forefront of the battlefield by the gunners, who adjusted the firing angle, loaded the propellant, inserted the fuse, and loaded the explosive packets made with millstones...

Ignite, launch...turn around and retreat...

Dozens of thunder cannon gunners quickly retreated nearly 20 meters before a thunderous explosion sounded in the Eighth Route Army's offensive position.

Orange-red flames sprayed out from the gasoline barrel like fireworks, and explosive packets the size of millstones were pushed out of the barrel at the same time, rolling towards the Japanese blocking position at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Rumble..."

The explosive package landed and exploded. More than 20 huge fireballs rose from the ground, making another thunderous explosion. The entire ground trembled several times in the explosion.

The Japanese soldiers who had just entered the position did not even see the Eighth Route Army. They flew up from the ground, lost consciousness instantly, and landed like a corpse.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Japanese counterattack fire came very quickly. As soon as the flying thunder cannon ejected the explosive package, less than ten seconds later, violent and dense explosions sounded in the position in front of them.

Under the firelight, Huang Yu clearly saw the picture of the flying thunder cannon being blown up.

But he wasn't heartbroken at all.

The torpedo gunners had retreated, and the only torpedo cannons left on the battlefield were dozens of gasoline barrels, which exploded when they exploded.

As long as the headquarters is willing, the arsenal can be used to build dozens more flying thunder cannons at any time.

Moreover.

In Huang Yu's eyes, these flying thunder cannons had completed their mission.

Two squadrons of Japs were attacked by more than 20 explosive packets. Even if one explosive packet only killed ten Japs, more than 20 explosive packets could kill more than 200 people. The reinforcements that the Japanese army had just dispatched to the blocking position were immediately defeated. More than half of it is gone.

It was obviously difficult for the remaining Japanese troops to stop the Eighth Route Army's attack alone.

This means that if the Japanese army wants to hold its position, it must once again mobilize troops from the town to reinforce the battlefield...

The Japanese commander did indeed do this. Huang Yu waited for less than 2 minutes before a reinforced squadron came out of the town again and marched urgently to reinforce the battlefield.

He hit the sandbag in front of him with his clenched fist, and said excitedly: "It's done..." (End of Chapter)
