The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1431 Huang Yu’s trump card

Chapter 1431 Huang Yu's trump card (second update)

When the total strength of the sneak attack force was reduced to a platoon, the Kwantung Army participating in the counterattack finally ran into a pocket formation.

"Begin the counterattack..."

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of slightly dull explosions suddenly sounded behind the Eighth Route Army's lurking troops.

A ball of flame burst out from the location of each explosion.

At the same time, a millstone-sized explosive pack rolled into the sky.

It flew over the heads of the ambush troops and hit the Kwantung Army's counterattack troops.

This was a big gift Huang Yu specially prepared in order to destroy the Kwantung Army's mopping-up troops.

During the attack on the coal mine some time ago, the troops not only captured a large number of miners, but also seized a lot of explosives and gasoline barrels.

Considering that the regiment was only equipped with mortars and no weapons of mass destruction.

Moreover, the troops are now in the mountains, and both the enemy and our side basically fight close combat on the battlefield, and rarely engage in long-range artillery battles.

Huang Yu suddenly had an idea and thought of the flying thunder cannon that had been used on a large scale in the battlefield in northwestern Shanxi.

In a night battle, the enemy and our side were about a hundred meters apart, which was the best distance for the Flying Thunder Cannon to display its power.

As for the poor shooting accuracy of the Flying Thunder Cannon, Huang Yu thought it was not a problem at all.

If accuracy is not enough, make up for it with quantity. This has always been Huang Yu’s combat strategy on the battlefield.

There were not many other weapons in the coal mine, but a large amount of explosives and gasoline were needed, so the First Regiment of the Northbound Detachment seized a large number of explosives and gasoline barrels on the battlefield.

Ten flying thunder cannons would not be able to kill many Kwantung troops in tonight's night attack, so Huang Yu prepared twenty or even thirty cannons.

The battlefield where Wei Dayong was located had a total of thirty flying thunder cannons prepared for the Kwantung Army.

The moment Wei Dayong issued the order to counterattack, thirty Flying Thunder cannons simultaneously fired thirty 15-jin explosive packs, which rolled over the heads of the lurking troops and hit the Kwantung Army's counterattack troops.

"Rumble..."

A violent explosion sounded on the battlefield like thunder, a huge fireball rose into the sky, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The killing radius of up to 30 meters ensured that every explosive pack that fell into the Kwantung Army's counterattack force would achieve fruitful results.

The captain of the Kwantung Army was shocked...

Correct……

I was just scared.

A bomb fell from the sky, and all soldiers within a radius of thirty meters centered on the point of impact were either killed or injured.

Many Kwantung Army soldiers who fell to the ground had no wounds at all, but they lay there motionless, with blood constantly oozing from their nostrils, mouths, ears...

The captain knew at a glance that these people's internal organs had been shattered by the shock wave.

A quick glance around revealed that there were only about a hundred people left standing in the two squadrons of the counterattack force. The rest were either dead or injured, and almost all of them had lost their combat effectiveness.

"Retreat...Retreat to the base immediately. This is a trap. We have fallen into it..."

“Dong dong dong… da da da…”

Before the captain finished his order to retreat, various gunshots rang in his ears.

Dozens of machine gun flames of varying lengths suddenly appeared around the troops, and a rain of bullets whizzed over, quickly forming a dense firepower network around him.

Several soldiers who were about to retreat were shot to pieces, without making a sound, and fell to the ground as corpses. The captain subconsciously lay on the ground to avoid the rain of bullets whizzing overhead.

However, because the ambush fire above his head was too fierce, he didn't even have a chance to raise his head, let alone evacuate the battlefield. He could only be suppressed on the battlefield by the light and heavy machine guns that suddenly appeared around him, with no way to advance or retreat.

At this moment, the Flying Thunder Artillery troops behind the lurking troops were quickly loading propellant and baffles into gasoline barrels to make millstone-sized explosive packs...

"ignition……"

When the Kwantung Army's counterattack force was suppressed on the battlefield and was in a dilemma, several orders suddenly sounded from the Flying Thunder Artillery Unit.

"Boom boom boom..."

Amidst the dull sound of explosions, thirty millstone-sized explosive packs were once again pushed out of the gasoline barrels by the flames, rolling over the heads of the lurking troops and hitting the Kwantung Army's counterattack troops.

"Rumble..."

Thunderous explosions resounded across the battlefield once again.

Even if the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield were lying on the ground, the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion of explosives could still shock them to death.

If you are too close to the impact point, you will be blown to pieces and not even a complete body will be left.

The captain of the Kwantung Army managed to escape the first round of Flying Thunder Cannon attacks, but failed to escape the second round.

A bomb fell less than ten meters away from him, and the moment flames rose in front of his eyes, he lost consciousness.

"Blow the charge, the entire army will attack, and wipe out the Kwantung Army's counterattack forces..." Wei Dayong had been observing the battlefield with a telescope, and seeing that there were only a few Kwantung Army troops left in the pocket formation, he decided to fight quickly and not continue dragging on with the enemy.

There are still many people in the Kwantung Army’s base. The longer the battle drags on, the greater the chance of an accident.

"Use squads and platoons as units to quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, clean up the battlefield, and withdraw from the battle..."

"Tick-tock...tick-tock... Comrades, rush..."

Amid the loud sound of the charge, more than 300 Eighth Route Army soldiers jumped up from the ground, holding rifles and light machine guns, and rushed towards the remnants of the Kwantung Army with roars.

After two rounds of attacks with sixty explosive packs and a round of sudden fire from dozens of light and heavy machine guns, there were less than a hundred Kwantung Army soldiers who could still breathe in the pocket formation, and even fewer than fifty Kwantung Army soldiers who could stand up and fight.

Faced with the Eighth Route Army charging towards them quickly, many people had not yet recovered from the explosion and were completely confused.

It was not until the Eighth Route Army rushed to them, raised their machine guns and pulled the trigger at them, but it was too late.

…………

Kwantung Army Wing Headquarters.

The commander of the corps, Colonel Koike, was also paying attention to this raid and counter-raid battle.

In his own words, this battle was more like gambling.

Although you have a good chance of winning, you also have a high chance of losing.

If he wins the bet, his troops may not be ambushed again for a long time in the future. He may even have a chance to severely damage the Eighth Route Army in the mountains in one battle, and force their main force out to fight a decisive battle with him.

If I lose the bet...

The counterattack troops sent out by themselves would suffer heavy losses, and the overall combat effectiveness of the Koike Regiment would be greatly reduced. If things go wrong, a full-scale mopping-up operation might be necessary.

To put it more seriously, the current battle is directly related to the life and death of the Koike Regiment. As the commander of the regiment, he has to take it seriously.

He saw that the counterattack troops he sent out had inflicted heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops, and then they were unstoppable and closely followed behind the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops, as if they were going to wipe them out completely.

Colonel Koike's tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot.

Judging from the current battle situation, as long as there are no accidents on the battlefield, the counterattack troops sent out will definitely be able to complete the mission of annihilating the enemy and return victorious.
