The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1448 Huang Yu's growing appetite

When the heavy mortar squadron was only two hundred meters away from being delivered, the intense sound of light and heavy machine gun fire reached the captain's ears again.

Machine gun flames of varying lengths were displayed in front of everyone at the same time.

There are at least twenty of them at a glance.

Judging from the blocking firepower alone, this is definitely the Eighth Route Army's blocking unit with the strongest overall combat effectiveness.

The captain did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "This must be the last blocking position of the Eighth Route Army."

"We'll complete our mission if we take it down..."

"Two squadrons of the 4th Battalion launched an attack together, with the artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons providing serious firepower..."

"Quickly take down the defense line and protect the artillery to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery positions."

"If we don't hurry up, the heavy artillery units of the Eighth Route Army will be moved away."

Two squadrons of nearly 400 elite Kwantung Army troops launched an attack together, with heavy machine guns and mortars providing fire cover behind and on the flanks of the attacking forces.

As long as the Eighth Route Army is not equipped with heavy weapons, the attacking forces of the two squadrons can definitely match them on the battlefield and break through the direction of the Eighth Route Army.

"Boom boom boom..."

The mortars equipped by the Kwantung Army continued to fire, and soon knocked out several machine gun fire points in the blocking positions.

The morale of the more than 300 attacking troops of the Kwantung Army was greatly boosted, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they rushed forward with a roar.

Heavy machine guns mounted on the flanks of the battlefield joined the battle at the same time, using cross fire to suppress the sniping fire on the defense line.

Soon the sniping firepower from more than 20 light and heavy machine guns on the defense line will be suppressed by more than half.

The Kwantung Army's offensive forces did not miss this good opportunity.

The speed of attack suddenly increased, and they wanted to attack a little further before the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops made adjustments, so as to shorten the desperate assault.

of course……

It would be better if the attacking force could arrive in one step and take down the defense line directly.

Little did they know that only a portion of the decreasing number of firepower points on the defense line were destroyed by mortar shells, and most of the firepower points that stopped firing were because the attacking troops took the initiative to cease fire and deliberately showed weakness, causing the Kwantung Army's attacking troops to once again make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.

At the same time, the artillery positions of the Kwantung Army, which were constantly firing, were completely exposed to the Eighth Route Army.

The ten mortars that Huang Yu had prepared in advance were quickly adjusting their firing parameters, ready to give them a fatal attack at the critical moment, leaving them no chance to counterattack.

Thirty to forty meters behind the blocking line.

Dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers are making final preparations before launching.

A total of twenty flying thunder cannons were lined up in a row on the ground.

The propellant and explosive packs have been loaded and are all aimed at a position 150 meters in front of the defense line. They will open fire together once all the attacking forces of the Kwantung Army have entered the killing range.

This is the biggest gift prepared by Huang Yu and the Kwantung Army, and also the most deadly weapon.

There were several Eighth Route Army troops around the battlefield, quickly surrounding the battlefield under the cover of darkness.

His original idea was to tear off a piece of fat from the Kitamura Regiment, make it feel the pain, and make Lieutenant General Fujita, who was far outside the mountains, come and worry, forcing them to evacuate the mountains.

Unexpectedly, this encounter battle actually developed in a direction that was favorable to him.

Huang Yu decided to increase his appetite.

The Kwantung Army's attack force was completely wiped out and all the large-caliber mortars equipped by the Kitamura Regiment were seized.

The more heavy weapons the Eighth Route Army is equipped with, the stronger its offensive capabilities will be, the greater the threat and pressure it will bring to the Kwantung Army's mopping-up forces, and the more confident they will be when facing the Kwantung Army's mopping-up forces again in the future.

At this moment, Huang Yu was squatting next to a flying thunder cannon, holding a telescope to observe the every move of the Japanese attacking troops, silently calculating the distance between the enemy and us in his mind, and judging the best time to fire the flying thunder cannon.

"Captain, I think it's about time..."

The company commander in charge of all the flying thunder cannons suddenly spoke, looking at Huang Yu with expectation and asked.

Professionals should do professional things, and laymen should never command professionals.

This has always been Huang Yu’s fighting style.

Captain Wang who spoke just now is very good at firing the Flying Thunder Cannon. Since he thinks he can fire it, that's enough.

Huang Yu made a prompt decision and ordered: "Then fire..."

"Ignite..." Captain Wang of the artillery company ordered loudly.

After a few seconds, dull explosions sounded all around.

More than twenty gun barrels made of gasoline barrels spewed out balls of orange-red flames one after another, just like fireworks, and appeared very dazzling under the cover of night.

Twenty millstone-sized explosive packs flew out of the gasoline barrels at the same time, tumbling towards the Kwantung Army's offensive position at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Rumble..."

The attacking Kwantung Army had not yet figured out what the sudden explosion was when a series of thunderous explosions rang in their ears. Orange-red fireballs rose into the air from the explosion points at the same time, and many soldiers participating in the attack were blown away in the explosion.

More soldiers were blown to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Kwantung Army artillery position saw that the attacking troops were suddenly hit by unknown artillery fire, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in an instant, almost losing their combat effectiveness. The artillery squadron leader suddenly became anxious.

He quickly called on his gunners to lock onto the Eighth Route Army's Flying Thunder Cannon positions, and strive to deliver a fatal blow to destroy them all.

Otherwise, if they threw another round of explosive packs at the attacking troops, the two infantry squadrons participating in the attack would be finished.

With a face full of anxiety, he shouted loudly: "Immediately aim at the position 40 meters behind the defense line..."

"The Eighth Route Army's Flying Thunder Cannon is set up there..."

"Hurry up and fire, destroy all the flying thunder cannons..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The sudden explosion nearby interrupted the squadron leader's order before he finished speaking.

Ten mortar shells fell from the sky, instantly creating ten fireballs at the artillery position, two of which directly enveloped two artillerymen.

Although the remaining eight fireballs did not directly cover the gun positions, the fragments of the shells flying out of the fireballs killed many gunners active in the vicinity.

In the blink of an eye, one third of his seventy or eighty gunners were killed in the explosion. The remaining gunners all lay on the ground to avoid the second round of shells that might fall on their heads.

Since the artillery position has been targeted by the enemy, they will definitely not just fire mortars...

At least three or four rounds.

Given the firing rate of the mortar, even if they planned to abandon the mortar and escape from the artillery position alone, a few seconds would only be enough for them to get up from the ground and rush out 10 to 20 meters, at which time they would be hit by another round of artillery shells. It would be better for them to just lie here and wait until the shelling ended before moving.

"Rumble..."

When the Kwantung Army's artillery positions came under sudden attack, twenty thunder cannons had already been loaded with new propellant and explosive packs.

Accompanied by a series of dull explosions, twenty explosive packs flew towards the Kwantung Army's attacking forces again.

The few Kwantung Army offensive forces that survived the battlefield suffered a devastating blow in this round of explosions and were almost completely wiped out.
