The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 425 Commander Command: Stop Chasing (Second Change)
"Captain, the cavalry brigade has been defeated...the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment is coming towards us!" the adjutant of the regiment, who was watching the cavalry brigade closely, shouted anxiously.

Colonel Nakamura hurriedly looked in the direction of the adjutant's finger...

More than [-] cavalry, armed with horse rifles and sabers, rushed towards the official road screaming...

The independent regiment's artillery attack on the reinforcements has not yet ended, and many troops are scattered to avoid the artillery fire, fighting on their own...

Now that the cavalry battalion is coming, these people must be vulnerable...

If the opponent drives the broken troops to him like sheep, the reinforcements under his command that have not been attacked by artillery fire will also be affected and put in danger.

At this tense moment of life and death, four words quickly flashed in Nakamura's mind: "Drop the car and save the handsome..." Otherwise, he might be left here, so he gave the order immediately.

"The troops immediately retreated two kilometers to establish a defensive line..."

"All the messengers are dispatched, contact the troops that are being covered by artillery fire, and retreat as soon as the shelling is over. I will meet them two kilometers away..."

"Immediately report the situation here to the head of the division... We were ambushed by the main force of the independent regiment one kilometer southeast of the Longgong Village stronghold... Their cavalry battalion and heavy artillery battalion were all dispatched, and more than [-] main forces launched attacks at the same time, reinforcements The troops have suffered heavy losses and are waiting for help three kilometers southeast of the stronghold!"

"Please division commander send troops to reinforce our department immediately, the faster the better!"

Lieutenant General Sato didn't feel sleepy at the headquarters of the Japanese Army Division in Yuanping County. He stayed in the war room and waited for news with his subordinates.

The Nakamura Regiment had set off for almost two hours, and logically they had reached the Longgong Village stronghold. Whether the stronghold was defended, whether the reinforcements repelled the attacking troops of the Independent Regiment, and severely injured them, news should come back soon.

This was his first battle since he was seconded to Shanxi. The opponent was not only the confidant of the Shanxi garrison, but also named the front army headquarters. Many officers of the empire were defeated by them.

If I can win the first battle and defeat them, it will not only boost the morale and morale of the army, but also prove to the Shanxi garrison that the Sato Division has stronger combat effectiveness than them, killing two birds with one stone!
While waiting anxiously, there was finally movement in the telecommunications room on the side.

After a while, I saw the communications staff officer running towards him in a hurry, reporting nervously before he could stand still.

"The head of the division...the Nakamura United team urgently called, something happened to them!"

"The real purpose of the Independence Regiment's attack on the Longgong Village stronghold is to encircle and fight for aid..."

"The reinforcements were besieged by the main force of the Independent Regiment one kilometer southeast of the stronghold... Their cavalry battalion and heavy artillery battalion were dispatched. The reinforcements were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. They had retreated two kilometers southeast of the stronghold and waited for help. ...Please send troops to reinforce the division commander immediately!"

This result was completely unexpected by Lieutenant General Sato.

In his perception, a single unit from the Nakamura Regiment alone could confront twice as many Eighth Route Army head-on.

I specially strengthened a mountain artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade for them. It will definitely be no problem to face the Eighth Route Army with three times its strength.

Even if he was caught in the trick and didn't win, it would be no problem to retreat completely.

As a result, Chief Nakamura ended up in a disastrous defeat for himself, and he continued to ask himself for reinforcements...

After reading the telegram asking for help several times, he believed this fact. He slapped the telegram on the table and scolded with anger: "What did Mr. Nakamura do? Commanding so many troops will be defeated by the independent regiment. Pigs are even worse than that." He is strong..."

"Order: Heavy Artillery Brigade, the military department strengthens our cavalry brigade, Noda Regiment, set off immediately, march quickly to reinforce Nakamura Regiment!"

"The Independence Regiment dispatched so many troops to set traps for us, so don't go back, lest we won't be able to find them after the sweep begins!"

"Send another telegram to Chief Nakamura: Reinforcements have departed..."

"He must hold back the main force of the Independence Regiment for me. I want to fight the Independence Regiment in the stronghold of Longgong Village!"

"If this mission can't be completed, there's no need for him to be the captain!"

On the official road to the southeast of Longgong Village, the artillery raid of the Independence Regiment was still going on, but the artillery fire had begun to extend, and the shells seemed to have eyes, chasing after Nakamura.

On the battlefield behind him, the cavalry battalion had already killed Shangguan Dao, as if entering a land of no one, hacking and killing the little devils he saw everywhere.

The four main battalions also rushed onto the road, encircling and annihilating the remnants of the enemy...

"Stop chasing..." Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yuanchang ordered at the top of his voice.

The fourth company commander shouted unwillingly: "Battalion Commander, there are only dozens of devils left... You are giving me half an hour, and you promise to wipe them all out!"

Xiao Yuanchang was also hesitant.

The opponents of the second battalion were two infantry squadrons. In addition to its own artillery fire, the mountain artillery company also provided itself with two minutes of artillery support!
As a result, after fighting for a long time, I still couldn't wipe out the opponent, and I felt ashamed to say it.

But when he thought of the death order issued by the regiment leader, he still shook his head helplessly: "Forget it!"

"Just a few dozen little devils, just run away, there is no need to violate discipline for them."

"If the main force of the devils targets us on the way of pursuit and kills us all with our carbine, it will be a big loss!"

"Excuting an order!"

"Rescue the wounded immediately, clean up the battlefield, and take away all the weapons and ammunition that can be taken away!"

"The anti-sweep is imminent, we must save every bullet, at least we must replenish the ammunition we just consumed!"

In the Longgong Village stronghold, Kong Jie stood on the only remaining gun tower and stared at it, condescendingly observing the ambush battlefield.

The sound of firefighting along the road became weaker and weaker, indicating that the ambush battle was drawing to a close.

Kong Jie decisively put down the binoculars and rushed towards the battlefield.

Huang Yu happened to rush over from the artillery position at the rear: "Regiment commander... the artillery observer reported that the remnants of the devils have retreated two kilometers and are relying on favorable terrain to establish a line of defense to deal with the rout. You got news!"

"The heavy artillery battalion has retreated as planned, as long as the main battalions on the front line safely withdraw to the base area..."

"Our attack tonight will be a complete victory!"

Kong Jie's face immediately blossomed with joy.

At first, Kong Jie did not support this military operation.

Huang Yu decided to give it a try after another suggestion.

Unexpectedly, this test severely damaged a strengthened wing of the Sato Division.

As long as the troops participating in the war suffered few casualties, this attack would be an unprecedented victory, which would definitely greatly encourage the determination of the soldiers and civilians in the base area to fight against mopping up.

Immediately said to Huang Yu: "Go to the battlefield with me!"

"There are quite a few artillerymen among the little devils who entered the artillery coverage area, and they brought a lot of heavy weapons!"

"They retreated in a panic, they must have left a lot of good things behind!"

"If some heavy weapons can be seized, the results of the battle will definitely be greater, and our confidence in anti-mopping up will be stronger!"

When they entered the battlefield, they saw Xiao Yuanchang running towards them with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Regimental Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang... The Second Battalion did not fight well!"

"There were more than [-] devils in two squadrons, we only eliminated [-], and more than [-] escaped!"

Kong Jie didn't answer, and asked anxiously, "What about the casualties? How many soldiers did the Second Battalion lose in the battle!"

When mentioning the loss, Xiao Yuanchang's mood improved obviously, he raised his head, and happily reported: "Very little..."

"At present, only thirteen soldiers have died, six soldiers were seriously injured, and 31 soldiers were slightly injured!"

"Among the more than [-] devils killed, nearly [-] little devils were killed by the mountain artillery company, and dozens of hundreds of devils were killed by the mortar company of the second battalion. The infantry only killed a few hundred. Devil!"

"They were all terrified."

"Knowing that we are no match for us, we ran away as soon as the shelling stopped, and we followed them all the way to kill them... Except for the forty or so who escaped, we wiped out all the other devils!"

"Seized 11 light machine guns, 10 grenades, 189 [-] caps, more than [-] rounds of various bullets, [-] special grenades for grenades, and more than [-] grenades!"

"The Second Battalion consumed more than [-] rounds of various ammunition in the battle. After deducting the loss, we also earned a reinforcement company's equipment and [-] rounds of ammunition!"

"Good fight!" Kong Jie patted Xiao Yuanchang on the shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Our task tonight is to severely injure the devil's reinforcements at the least cost, give them a big blow, and give them a good start by the way, to inspire our own military and people's hearts!"

"From this point of view, the Second Battalion has completed very well."

"Take out one company and take the spoils and immediately withdraw to the base area, and the remaining two companies are on standby."

The battle report of the second battalion made Kong Jie full of expectations for the other battalions, and went straight to the area covered by the No. [-] artillery fire.

From a long distance away, I saw Guan Dashan inspecting several mortars. After walking around him twice, I saw Kong Jie and Huang Yu, and hurried over to meet him.

The whole person seemed to have eaten candied fruit, and reported with a smile on his face: "Regimental Commander, the third battalion is fortunate to live up to its fate, and successfully captured the No. [-] artillery coverage area!"

"More than [-] devil artillery... more than [-] ran away, and the others were all killed!"

"Eight mortars and seven heavy machine guns were seized, and the rest of the mortars and heavy machine guns were destroyed by the devils!"

"I also harvested [-] rounds of mortar shells and [-] boxes of heavy machine gun bullets..."

"Everything is good, equipped troops can use it..."

The Fourth Battalion Commander Yang Wan and Wen Xun ran over: "Regimental Commander, we have taken down the Guizishan Artillery Brigade!"

"Seized eight mountain cannons and six hundred mountain cannon shells!"

"It's just a pity that the four mountain cannons were blown up. If I ran faster when attacking, I would definitely be able to keep these four cannons!"

"Also eliminated nearly [-] devil gunners, and more than [-] escaped!"

"It's already good!" The smile on Kong Jie's face grew stronger, and he ordered immediately.

"You each leave a company on standby, and the other troops immediately withdraw to the base area with the spoils, the faster the better!"

"That old devil Sato must not be reconciled to the reinforcements he sent being severely damaged by us, and will definitely send troops to kill them again. Our mission has been completed, and we will not fight unless we can fight them!"

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