The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 433 Kong Jie: This Is My Confidence When Facing Incendiary Bombs (Second Update)
Twenty minutes later, the artillery coverage of the Sato Division finally stopped.

The sound of the cannon stopped, and the raging fire in Duanjiabao finally began to extinguish.

The trenches stretching for hundreds of meters have been bombed to pieces, with huge gaps every few meters.

There are dense shell craters scattered on both sides of the trench, of different sizes...

The entire position was burnt to pitch black in the fire, and the surface temperature was several degrees higher than usual, and you could feel your feet burning when you stepped on it.

"Clap clap clap..."

Several gunshots suddenly reached Shen Quan's ears, which meant that a new round of Japanese offensive had officially begun.

"The battalion commander... At least one kid from the infantry brigade is coming towards us!" The observation post reported in time.

Shen Quan didn't answer the conversation, but raised his ears to listen to the gunshots on the ground, so as to judge how many people were left in the two companies on the ground.

As a result, the more he listened, the more solemn his face became, and he frowned and ordered: "There are at most two rows left in the trench..."

"The second company of the first battalion, the second company of the seventh battalion, join the battle immediately... The other troops are on standby..."

Twenty minutes later, the Japanese army's mountain artillery unit suddenly joined the battle, dozens of shells roared in, and the Japanese attacking force, which lost more than [-] people, withdrew from the battle like a tide.

After a while, Duanjiabao was covered by artillery fire again.

In the former enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Li Wensheng reported solemnly as soon as he came back from the front: "Regimental Commander, the first and seventh battalions suffered too many casualties!"

"The first two main companies that participated in the battle were almost wiped out...the two companies that just reinforced the battlefield suffered more than half of their casualties again!"

"The little devil is attacking the position with incendiary bombs again. Many soldiers will definitely die because of suffocation..."

"When the devil's shelling stops, our losses will definitely exceed four hundred people..."

"As of now, the total number of little devils we have killed and injured is less than [-]... Comprehensive analysis, the casualty ratio is less than two to one, what a loss!"

Kong Jie is a sensible and aggressive regiment leader. Although the battle situation is getting worse and worse, everyone in the headquarters looks nervous and anxious, only he has a calm face without any disturbance.

It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry, but that he kept reminding himself to keep calm and not be impulsive, otherwise the entire independent group would be in crisis.

Seeing that Li Wensheng became more and more anxious, and his face became more and more embarrassing, Kong Jie had no choice but to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army, and looked at the crowd confidently and comforted: "These losses are temporary!"

"Everyone seriously recall: In the two offensives that just ended, the Sato Division not only dispatched mountain artillery, infantry artillery, heavy artillery, but also dispatched aircraft!"

"Even the incendiary bombs that we haven't seen before are used. Except for tanks and armored vehicles that are not suitable for mountain combat, basically all the killers that can be used are used!"

"Look at us again. So far we have only used the first battalion and the seventh battalion. The heavy artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion, which are the trump cards, have never participated in the battle!"

"When they join the battle, the balance of victory will definitely turn to us!"

"Analyzing the casualties of the first battalion and the seventh battalion, we can find that nearly [-]% of the casualties came from the devil's artillery cover and incendiary bombs, [-]% of the casualties came from the exchange of fire between the two sides, and the remaining [-]% of the casualties came from the sudden artillery cover of the devil during the exchange of fire."

"When the devils attacked, many of our troops stood firm on the surface... Their mountain artillery shells fell suddenly, and the soldiers didn't even have time to evade, so they could only move under the artillery fire..."

"Many soldiers died in this short half minute!"

"If the heavy artillery battalion hits the artillery unit of the Sato Division hard, our casualties in the artillery raid will definitely drop."

"The casualties caused by the devil's artillery coverage will also be reduced a lot!"

"After the artillery unit in Sato's hand was severely damaged by us, when there were no planes in the sky, the heavy artillery battalion could participate in frontal battles, cover the infantry's defensive positions, suppress the devil's attacking troops from a long distance, and increase their losses!"

"The casualties of the devils continue to increase, and our losses continue to decrease. The casualty ratio will naturally increase from less than two to one now to three to one, or even four to one..."

"So don't worry, and don't be discouraged..."

"The current sacrifices are temporary and must be paid, otherwise we will not be able to kill more little devils in future battles!"

The anxious expression on Li Wensheng's face gradually eased, but when he thought of the loss of the first battalion and the seventh battalion, he became anxious again, and couldn't help reminding: "Since the heavy artillery battalion is our trump card, it can play a role in changing the situation of the battle! "

"Should we contact the Heavy Artillery Battalion immediately and let them join the battle!"

"The battle on the front line was too fierce, and a large number of soldiers died almost every minute!"

"The sooner they enter the battle, the frontline troops will have fewer sacrifices!"

Kong Jie shook his head and objected: "No rush!"

"Before the battle, I made an agreement with Chen Daliang: the artillery can participate in the battle anytime and anywhere, and we don't intervene in any command. Everything depends on the safety of the heavy artillery battalion!"

"The reason why Chen Daliang doesn't participate in the war now is probably because he is worried about the planes in the sky!"

"I also expect them to turn defeat into victory, change the situation of the battle, and severely damage the Sato division here, instead of being bombed by devil planes and suffering heavy losses as soon as they enter the battle!"

Kong Jie had already said this, Li Wensheng could only compromise, and said with a long sigh: "Okay, then I will wait and see, and wait for the Heavy Artillery Battalion to join the battle..."

Kong Jie immediately ordered: "All the troops participating in the battle are watching us!"

"Anyone can lose confidence in the future of this blocking war, but we can't... Everyone take their positions, continue to stick to their posts, and report to me as soon as possible!"

In fact, there was still something in Kong Jie's heart that he didn't say.

The killer feature of the independent regiment is not only the heavy artillery battalion, but also the independent assault battalion and the special forces directly under the regiment headquarters.

Huang Yu's sense of the battlefield is very keen, and the defense line of the Sato Division is so long, there must be a lot of defensive loopholes in the middle!

With Huang Yu's command ability, he can definitely seize these loopholes and deal a major blow to the Sato Division...

With two trump cards in hand, one inside and one outside, Kong Jie has the confidence not to panic in the face of incendiary bombs...

In the position of the heavy artillery battalion, facing the increasingly anxious battle on the front line, the deputy battalion commander and instructor became anxious again.

Although the regiment did not report the casualty data to them, they could see the tragic scenes on the battlefield.

The Duanjiabao that was completely covered by artillery fire, the blocking position that was burned to black charcoal by incendiary bombs, the bunker that was almost razed to the ground, houses...

They are all telling them how many casualties the front-line defensive troops have suffered, and how much they need artillery support from the heavy artillery battalion!
"Battalion Commander, I think it's almost done!" The deputy battalion commander couldn't help reminding again!
"The devil's plane withdrew twice, and they all returned to the battlefield after half an hour!"

"We waited five minutes for the Devils to evacuate before attacking, fought for five minutes, and then began to retreat."

"As long as there are no accidents on the road, twenty minutes is enough for us to move to the reserve position and make a good disguise!"

The trainer answered, "I think it's almost the same!"

"Although the head of the regiment did not send a telegram to remind us, we can all see the battle on the front line. The defensive pressure of the troops must be particularly heavy!"

"If we shot earlier, the infantry's defensive pressure would be much less, and the casualties would be much less!"

"Look again!" Chen Daliang thought for a while and replied.

"If the return time of the devil's plane is still half an hour...we will launch an attack when they evacuate again!"

"Notify all artillery companies, all aim at the target according to the scheduled plan, and be ready to fire at any time!"

"The retreat and transfer route must be determined again, and nothing will go wrong!"

"The mules and horses responsible for pulling the artillery, the cars, all checked!"

"Guarantee that the cannons that participate in the battle can be transferred, and there should be no delay for half a minute!"

"Prepare the camouflage nets for the artillery positions as well..."

"Camouflage as soon as all artillery is in place!"

"If the time is limited and the transfer is not in place, the artillery company must stop in half an hour and make a camouflage on the spot!"

In a ravine three kilometers behind the Sato Division, more than [-] soldiers from the Assault Battalion and the Special Forces were all hiding here.

Huang Yu guarded the entrance and exit of the ravine, constantly raising his binoculars to look ahead.

The battalion is directly under the reconnaissance platoon, and the two reconnaissance teams of the Special Forces were all sent out by him. Some people reconnoitred the defense line of the Sato Division that stretched for several kilometers, and some watched the Duanjiabao, reporting the latest battle situation on the front line at any time.

Although the assault battalion is equipped with a radio station, the regiment leader can be contacted through the radio station.

But based on Huang Yu's understanding of Kong Jie, in order to avoid adding pressure to himself, even if there is an accident on the front line and encounters a risk, the team leader will carry it by himself and will not notify himself.

In order to grasp the overall situation, the best way is to send people to watch the front line.

"Battalion Commander... Duan Jiabao has a situation..."

"The kid used an aerial bomb we've never seen before..."

"An aerial bomb exploded, with the impact point as the center, a raging fire would ignite within a radius of tens of meters..."

"The casualties of the first-line defense forces in the battle are temporarily unclear..."

"However, the army has repelled the devil's three large-scale attacks, causing thousands of casualties to the Sato Division..."

"The outside of the Duanjiabao is full of corpses of little devils..."

Huang Yu raised his eyebrows and made a judgment: "It's an incendiary bomb... The little devil is so ruthless that he used an incendiary bomb on us!"

"Send a telegram to the head immediately..."

"After the incendiary bomb explodes, it will take away the air in the blast hole and the bunker, and the soldiers hiding in the blast hole will suffocate to death!"

"It is necessary to dig out ventilation holes for the artillery holes on the follow-up line of defense immediately, the more the better..."

After the telegram was sent, Huang Yu's frown did not relax.

No matter how prepared the main force of the regiment is, the sudden incendiary bombs will cause a large number of casualties to the troops.

This was something that no one had considered before the war.

But he didn't have many ways to break the situation. He only hoped that the follow-up troops of the Sato division would quickly reveal a big hole for himself. By raiding the devils' backs, they would be attacked from the front and back, so as to reduce the head's frontal attack. Defensive pressure...

"Battalion Commander..." Duan Peng suddenly ran over to report.

"We have found the devil's heavy artillery position!"

"But Sato arranged a reinforcement brigade and a tank squadron around for protection... It's hard for us to take it down in a short time!"

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