The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 252 No Infantry Cannons, No Participation (Second)

At eight o'clock in the evening, Captain Yamaguchi was just about to fall asleep, when the urgent alarm sounded in his ears.

"Bang bang bang..." knocked on the door and then reached his ears.

Lieutenant Yamaguchi got up from the bed like a reflex, put on his military uniform and went outside. When he opened the door, he saw his subordinates standing outside anxiously.

After seeing Captain Yamaguchi, he reported anxiously: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army hiding in Baipogou is coming..."

"There are densely packed troops outside the stronghold, and they also brought mortars and heavy machine guns... There seems to be an infantry gun..."

There was no fear on Captain Yamaguchi's face, but an expression of anticipation instead.

He had never fought against the Independence Regiment before, so he didn't know how powerful they were. Coupled with the solid fortifications under his feet, the subordinates trained by himself and the Imperial Association Army...he was more than [-]% sure to hold the stronghold and beat back the Eighth Route Army! "

While climbing to the top of the gun tower, he asked, "Are you sure the Eighth Route Army is really equipped with infantry artillery!"

"The humble job sees it clearly, and there is no mistake!" The second lieutenant replied with certainty.

After hearing this answer, Captain Yamaguchi's expectant face finally flashed a look of solemnity, and he frowned and analyzed: "The infantry artillery is a fortified artillery, which can destroy our artillery towers and bunkers in close-range direct shooting!"

"We must strike first and knock out their infantry artillery!"

"Let the artillery stand by immediately... I will counterattack the infantry artillery brought by the Eighth Route Army as soon as it enters the battle and destroy it!"

"What about the mortars brought by the Eighth Route Army?"The anxious expression on the second lieutenant's face did not ease in any way, he stared at Captain Yamaguchi and continued to ask.

"We only have two mortars...the other side has three!"

"Once we concentrate artillery to attack the infantry artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the artillery unit will definitely be exposed to the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army..."

"It only takes two or three rounds of shells, and the artillery unit will be completely lost!"

"Captain, please think twice!"

Captain Yamaguchi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter the mortar brought by the Eighth Route Army!"

"We have gun towers and bunkers... No matter how powerful the mortars are, they won't be able to destroy them!"

"As long as the troops hide in gun towers and bunkers, the mortars equipped by the Eighth Route Army will not be able to do anything to us!"

Kong Jie hid behind a small mound more than [-] meters southeast of the stronghold to observe the enemy's situation.

Generally, when you fight devils, you pick the soft ones from the persimmons, and you fight the weak enemies first, and then the strong ones.

In this raid, Kong Jie was uncharacteristically attacking the strongest stronghold.

The reason is very simple, the Independence Regiment not only wants to win the battle, pull out a few thorns stuck in the throat, and fight the reputation of the Independence Regiment, but also capture the puppet troops in these strongholds and let them be used by me.

If the independent regiment takes down the strongest stronghold, it will be able to shock the morale and morale of other Japanese and puppet troops, and then attack other strongholds, it will definitely be easier to recruit the puppet troops inside...

"Regimental Commander, all the troops participating in the battle have moved into position, and the light and heavy machine guns are also set up, ready to launch an attack at any time!" Shen Quan hurriedly ran to Kong Jie to report.

"It's still the old way!" Kong Jie put down the binoculars and said.

"Launch a tentative attack first, use all light and heavy machine guns, and force the devil's artillery unit out!"

"Destroy their mortar unit first, and then our infantry cannons will attack. We will name the artillery towers and bunkers in the stronghold one by one. After the bombing is over, the infantry will attack, take the stronghold, and end the battle!"

"Dong dong dong..."

After a while, the three heavy machine guns attacking with the team began to fire.

They were erected on three mounds of soil, spitting out long tongues of fire, and the bullet rain flew in and flew towards the stronghold as if they didn't want money.

"Da da da……"

At least twenty light machine guns joined the battle at the same time, and in an instant, the Liuzhuang stronghold was bombarded with bullets.

The squad leader standing next to Captain Yamaguchi panicked all of a sudden, he was frightened by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

Three heavy machine guns and more than twenty light machine guns.A lot of the main regiments of the Eighth Route Army are not equipped with so many light and heavy machine guns...

It shows that the opponents tonight are very strong, at least their firepower level has far exceeded the stronghold.

Quickly asked Captain Yamaguchi for instructions: "Squadron leader, the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine gun units have taken the initiative to expose their targets. This is an excellent opportunity to destroy them!"

"Without the heavy machine gun, the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower will be weakened by at least [-]%!"

"I suggest that the artillery unit join the battle immediately and take the opportunity to destroy the exposed heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army!"

Captain Yamaguchi was also frightened by the powerful firepower exposed by his opponent, but he calmed down quickly.

Shaking his head, he replied as calmly as possible: "Before the Eighth Route Army dispatches infantry artillery, the mortar unit must not participate in the battle!"

"The mortar unit of the Eighth Route Army is watching us. If the mortar unit moves, it will be targeted. Then we will have no chance to destroy the infantry artillery brought by the Eighth Route Army. We can only watch them destroy all the artillery towers and bunkers with infantry artillery!"

"Order, the troops in the bunker are ready to fight... This is just a firepower test by the Eighth Route Army, don't worry!"

"We will fight back after their infantry is dispatched!"

Half a minute later, more than sixty Eighth Route Army appeared in Captain Yamaguchi's field of vision, lined up with skirmishers, and slowly approaching the stronghold with guns in hand!

"All the bunkers are fired, and the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops are killed, and they must not be allowed to approach the stronghold!" Captain Yamaguchi ordered suddenly.

The four bunkers built around the gun tower joined the battle at the same time, with a total of eight shooting holes, each with a light machine gun, and fired at the attacking troops...

The attacking troops quickly fell down, and no one knew whether they were shot or fell down on their own initiative.

But in this way, the attacking force cannot continue to charge forward.

Kong Jie frowned into a big Sichuan character at some point, and analyzed while watching: "The little devil has also learned to be smart!"

"The feigned attack troops dispatched so many light and heavy machine guns, but they didn't force their mortars out... It seems that our cards are still too light!"

"Let the artillery platoon deploy one mortar to join the battle, and the remaining two mortars are on standby, ready to counterattack at any time and destroy the Devil's mortar unit."

"Rumble..."

The sound of the explosion soon resounded in the stronghold, and the splashing flames instantly illuminated the surrounding area, and a puppet soldier fell to the ground... The small leader who was guarding Captain Yamaguchi became even more panicked, and proposed again: "Captain... the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has joined the battle." ...I suggest that the artillery unit join the battle immediately and kill the opponent!"

"Confused..."

Captain Yamaguchi scolded unceremoniously!

"Didn't you see that the opponent only dispatched one mortar?"

"The remaining two mortars and infantry guns are on standby. As soon as our mortars are exposed, they will be attacked by their remaining two mortars!"

"Even if the mortar troops of both sides die together, their remaining infantry artillery can still name our bunkers and artillery towers one by one..."

"We lost our only mortar. As long as the opponent puts the infantry artillery three or four hundred meters away, we can't do anything to them. We can only watch the stronghold be razed to the ground and the stronghold garrison buried in the ruins!"

"Keep the mortar squad on standby..."

"They were prepared for the infantry artillery brought by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Kill the opponent's mortar, even if our mortar unit is killed by the opponent, we will not be afraid!"

Kong Jie frowned more and more...

The devils in the stronghold are too cunning, they even dispatched mortars themselves, and their mortar unit has not made any movement yet.

Just as he was struggling whether to let the infantry artillery participate in the battle and force the devil mortar out, Huang Yu suddenly spoke!
"Regimental Commander, the Devil Artillery Unit is clearly waiting for the infantry artillery to fire, and wants to destroy the infantry artillery that poses the greatest threat to them!" Huang Yu interrupted suddenly.

It's not that Kong Jie didn't take this into consideration, it's just that it's too risky to do so.

After thinking for a while, I replied: "There are many dark forts in the stronghold, and the infantry artillery is our biggest trump card to win the stronghold!"

"If we are destroyed in the battle to force the Devil's mortar unit to fire, we won't be able to take down the stronghold, and we will lose an infantry cannon in vain, then we will lose a lot!"

Huang Yu replied: "Regimental Commander, as long as we do a good job of defense, we will definitely be able to minimize the chance of damage to the infantry artillery!"

"Keep talking!" Kong Jie heard that there was something in Huang Yu's words, so he hurried to do it.

"Pile more sandbag bunkers on the artillery positions to form squares, and then dig some individual bunkers inside the bunkers."

"Unless the shells fired by the devils directly hit the infantry artillery and individual bunkers, the fragments from the explosion of the artillery shells will be blocked by the sandbag bunkers, and will not hurt the gunners and infantry artillery hiding in the bunkers."

Kong Jie suddenly realized: "I understand what you mean..."

"Notify Shen Quan to stop attacking..."

"Xiao Huang, go and set up the artillery positions yourself, and you must protect the infantry artillery!"

Huang Yu replied confidently: "Regimental commander, don't worry, the infantry artillery is much stronger than the mortar... Even if a mortar hits him, it will be difficult to destroy it!"

"For a while, we are using direct-point shooting. I will build a few more marching quilts to cover the gun body, and then soak it with water. It is equivalent to putting on a suit of clothes for the gun. It will not affect the shooting, but also protect the gun body...

On the top of the gun tower, seeing the Eighth Route Army suddenly stop attacking, Captain Yamaguchi was proud: "See it!"

"The Eighth Route Army also knows that our mortar unit is waiting for their infantry artillery, but infantry artillery is the killer weapon to conquer the stronghold... In order to protect the infantry artillery from being destroyed by us, we can only stop the attack and find another way to attack the stronghold."

The frightened expression on the second lieutenant's face disappeared immediately, and he looked at the squadron leader with admiration and said: "The captain is wise!"

"There are bunkers everywhere around the stronghold. No matter which direction the Eighth Route Army launches an attack from, they will be attacked by several bunkers at the same time. The central artillery tower can also provide them with fire cover... Except for using infantry artillery to destroy the bunkers from a long distance, the Eighth Route Army has absolutely nothing to do. Other ways to get close to the dark fort and enter the stronghold!"

Captain Yamaguchi nodded: "You're right!"

"As long as the mortar unit adheres to the principle and does not fire the enemy's infantry, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to do anything to us!"

"But we also need to guard against the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on us..."

"From now on, the flares cannot be interrupted. If you see a suspicious target, use machine guns to shoot and use grenade bombs to explode!"

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
