The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1082: Destroy the enemy with stones? (First update)

"Captain, there seems to be no Eighth Route Army on this road..." A captain walking next to the Japs commander said with admiration.

It had been twenty minutes since the troops left the original mountain road without being attacked by cold fire, which was completely unimaginable before.

From the moment everyone left Taiyuan, cold guns have been surrounding their ears, making everyone nervous.

Although these cold guns do not threaten the safety of the reinforcements, if someone is targeted by these cold guns, it only takes one bullet to lose their life.

During the march, every little devil prayed in his heart that the Eighth Route Army would not target him the next time he fired a cold shot.

The heartstrings have been stretched in this tense mood.

The past twenty minutes were undoubtedly the most comfortable for them.

All you need to do is move forward and pass through the independent regiment's defense area as quickly as possible. Don't worry about the cold guns that may appear at any time on both sides of the mountain road.

The commander of the regiment said directly with a smug expression: "The Jinzhong Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has limited troops and hastily responded to the battle with advantages, and even fewer troops can be mobilized."

"If we guarded the mountain road we walked just now, we definitely wouldn't have the troops to guard the mountain road at our feet."

"Even if they temporarily send troops to attack us on this mountain road, it will be too late."

"Our marching speed was very fast. The Eighth Route Army could only follow us and eat ashes. They had no chance to overtake us and set up the battlefield."

"And setting up the battlefield also takes time. As long as we march fast enough, they won't have this time."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to add an order to his subordinates: "Our marching speed will be accelerated." '

"The independent regiment will not let us pass through their defense area easily. Now they must be thinking of other ways to intercept us, slow down our march, and buy time for them to mobilize their main forces to attack us."

The analysis of the Japanese captain is sound and well-founded.

If he was not facing the Eighth Route Army, with limited troops, he would have no choice but to passively change the marching route and catch up with the Japanese and puppet troops.

But his opponent today is the Eighth Route Army.

The strength of the Jinzhong Independent Regiment is indeed very small, with less than 1,500 soldiers in total.

He can mobilize all local armed forces, guerrillas, and ordinary people in the base area to help fight together.

In order to trap the little devils from Taiyuan in the base area for two days, Captain Huang mobilized more than 10,000 people to join the battle.

Although most of the people participating in the war were not even equipped with cold weapons, hot and cold weapons may not be as useful as a stone on the rugged mountain road.

It's not that the mountain road the Japanese army is walking is not ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, but that they have not yet entered the scope of the Eighth Route Army's activities.

In order to ensure that the Japanese troops had no way to escape, Captain Huang deployed five companies to block every mountain road and trail that could pass through his defense zone.

Arrange one platoon on the rugged mountain roads, and arrange two platoons on the slightly easier trails.

It seems that the number of troops is very small, and it would not be enough for them to fight against the Japanese reinforcements, but there are many local troops, guerrillas and ordinary people who cooperate with their actions.

Almost every main platoon has nearly a thousand people as assistants to cooperate in operations.

Their mission was to use the terrain to consume the Japanese troops through various means, slow down their marching speed, and buy time for the main force to mobilize.

"Rumble..."

A crash suddenly sounded in front of the mountain road. Before the captain of the Japanese team could react, he heard a scream from the front of the team.

The messenger ran towards the commander of the regiment at the same time and reported directly with a frightened expression: "Sir..."

"Five stones just rolled down the hillside and along the mountain road. At least 20 soldiers were killed and injured..." The commander of the regiment heard this inexplicably.

After fighting for so many years, this is the first time I heard that the troops suffered heavy casualties after being attacked by stones.

I hurried towards the front of the team to see what was going on.

The mountain road ahead extends along the mountain to the top of the hillside. Several round boulders stopped at the foot of the mountain, stained with the blood of soldiers.

More than 20 soldiers fell on the mountain road. Some were smashed into pulp by boulders, and some had their legs and feet broken. They were lying on the ground wailing. The sight was full of bloody scenes, which was very tragic.

Seeing this, the captain knew what had just happened here without listening to the report.

The troops marched quickly along the mountain road. As they approached the top of the mountain, several boulders rolled down the mountain road faster and faster.

The troops were caught off guard, and many people were hit by boulders rolling down from the top of the mountain... Then this tragic scene appeared in front of them.

"Sir, I am worried that there are still rocks on the top of the mountain, so I don't dare to let the troops move forward..." When the squadron leader saw the commander, he looked like he saw a savior and quickly asked for instructions.

The commander of the regiment did not answer immediately. He looked at the hillside in front of him with a sullen face, and made a decision after half a minute: "Send two squadrons to abandon the mountain road and climb to the top of the mountain from both sides of the mountain road. After occupying the top of the mountain, the troops will continue to advance on the mountain road."

"The terrain here is very suitable for blocking. If the enemy deploys a platoon of troops here and uses rifle machine guns to block the front, the casualties caused to our army will be at least doubled."

"But the enemy who just attacked us only used rocks and not even rifles. This shows that the opponent's combat effectiveness is very poor, and they are probably not equipped with rifles and machine guns. At most, a local army is blocking the way. Two squadrons were sent to rush to the top of the mountain. It can be taken easily."

The captain unconditionally trusts the judgment of the co-captain.

Two squadrons were immediately dispatched to go around the mountain road and climb up to the top of the mountain.

It worked really well in the beginning.

The troops climbed halfway up the mountain without being attacked.

The captain couldn't help but laugh, feeling that he was right again.

Just when the attacking troops were about to rush to the top of the mountain, an accident happened.

"Rumble..."

Countless stones were thrown down from the top of the mountain. A small number of them hit the ground and made no movement. Most of them hit the ground and rolled down to the foot of the mountain. The speed was getting faster and faster.

Dozens of soldiers were hit by stones unexpectedly and fell on the mountain in various postures.

"Rumble..."

The captain was stunned. He thought that at most one round of rocks would fall from the mountain, but the first round of rocks was still tumbling halfway up the mountain, and the second round of rocks had already fallen from the sky and hit the two squadrons again.

Round after round, the stones on the mountain seem to be inexhaustible, rolling down continuously.

More and more soldiers were hit by stones and fell on the attack road screaming.

After being hit, many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and turned into corpses without even letting out a scream.

The unlucky kid was hit by a boulder and was crushed into a pulp, not even a complete body was left behind.

"Retreat... We have been fooled. The attacking troops must retreat quickly." The commander of the unit was frightened and ordered with a panicked look on his face.

　The first update is delivered today, please order it all!
