The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 435 Kong Jie: Make up for all the losses I suffered before (second update)
"Rumble..."

The sound of an explosion soon sounded behind Lieutenant General Sato. Turning around to look over, eight puffs of black smoke had risen from the infantry artillery position closest to him...

The artillery staff officer around him immediately made a judgment: "Division commander, the No. [-] infantry artillery position was attacked by four mountain artillery pieces and four field artillery pieces... The enemy's shells had a very high hit rate. Judging from the point of impact, almost all of them hit the artillery pieces. position!"

"Division Commander, the mountain artillery position was attacked by four mountain artillery and six large-caliber mortars from the Independent Regiment, causing heavy losses and had to be moved..." the artillery staff continued to report.

"Division Commander, the field artillery position was also attacked by four field artillery and six large-caliber mortars from the Independent Regiment. They suffered heavy losses and had to be moved. There was no way to fight back..."

Lieutenant General Sato started to panic, and quickly ordered: "The independent regiment is really cunning!"

"There has been no artillery fire in the previous battle. It must be locking the specific position of our army's artillery position!"

"But they missed our heavy artillery battalion!"

"The heavy artillery position is located outside the effective range of the heavy artillery battalion of the independent regiment, and there will be no danger!"

"Let them counterattack immediately, and name the artillery positions exposed by the independent regiment one by one..."

"Contact the air force again... Let the plane returning to replenish ammunition and fuel be faster, we urgently need air support..."

"Woooooooo..."

A series of harsher screams soon sounded above Sato's head.

Twelve heavy artillery shells whizzed past his head, then split into three, and flew straight to the field and mountain artillery positions of the Independent Regiment.

It's a pity that they were too far away from the battlefield, and Lieutenant General Sato urged them too hard, so their reaction time was too short, and they didn't have time to review the shooters...

As a result, only two of the twelve shells hit the target, and all the other shells fell nearby...

When the Devils Heavy Artillery Brigade continuously corrected and fired at each member according to the point of impact, the heavy artillery battalion's artillery counterattack was like a flood bursting the embankment, hitting harder and harder, and it was out of control...

"Rumble..."

A heavy artillery shell accurately smashed into the devil's infantry artillery position...

The explosion was so powerful that even though the bullets were at least three meters away from the artillery position, the powerful shock wave still overturned the infantry artillery, and the six or seven devils squatting next to the artillery were blown away at the same time, and fell silent on the ground...

The Front Enemy Headquarters of the Independent Regiment...

As soon as the heavy artillery battalion fired, Kong Jie realized that the independent regiment had ushered in a long-lost turning point.

At the same time, he began to worry about the safety of the heavy artillery battalion.

The Devil's Heavy Artillery Brigade was deployed five kilometers away, beyond the effective range of all the artillery of the Heavy Artillery Battalion.

It means that the Devils Heavy Artillery Brigade can attack the Heavy Artillery Battalion from a long distance, but the Heavy Artillery Battalion cannot hit them.

As long as the heavy artillery battalion exposes its targets, the Devil's heavy artillery brigade can roll call one by one, causing a devastating blow to the heavy artillery battalion.

While paying attention to the frontline battle situation, he ordered the chief of staff to send someone to watch the heavy artillery battalion and report their losses at any time!
The Independence Regiment still has several major battles that require the help of the heavy artillery battalion. It must not be severely injured by the Sato Division in the immediate battle and lose its combat effectiveness...

"Regimental Commander... The artillery company of the Heavy Artillery Battalion has been attacked... The troops are being transferred..." A correspondent ran in to report.

"Regimental Commander... The Second Company of the Heavy Artillery Battalion's Mountain Artillery Company was attacked, losing two artillery pieces, and is moving rapidly..."

After hearing the bad news, Kong Jie frowned unconsciously...

It wasn't until a phone call came that a smile appeared on his serious face.

"Regimental Commander, the reconnaissance company reported... the devil's field artillery positions, mountain artillery positions, and infantry artillery positions were all covered by artillery fire from the heavy artillery battalion, and suffered heavy losses...they are shifting positions against our artillery fire..."

"Okay..." Kong Jie patted the sandbag and applauded.

"If Chen Daliang can severely damage the Devil's Heavy Artillery Brigade, Mountain Cannon Brigade, and Infantry Artillery Squad...the three companies of the Heavy Artillery Battalion that were attacked would be worthwhile..."

As soon as he spoke, the screaming above his head had already disappeared by more than half...

Before Kong Jie could react, a correspondent ran in to report: "Regimental Commander... the first round of artillery counterattack of the Heavy Artillery Battalion is over!"

"All artillery companies have been transferred to the reserve artillery positions, ready to implement the second round of artillery coverage on the Devil Artillery Unit!"

The smile on Kong Jie's face became wider, and he looked at the battlefield in front of him, which was also getting smoother and smoother: "Chen Daliang's move is amazing~"

"If you don't make a move, it's fine. If you make a move, you will give the Sato Division a fatal attack..."

"Quick, accurate, ruthless...the retreat is also very decisive, don't give the devils any chance to lock them..."

"well played……"

"Contact Xiao Yuanchang right away... The Heavy Artillery Battalion has successfully damaged the Devil's mountain artillery unit... In the next battle, it will be difficult for the Devil to gather a large number of mountain artillery and infantry artillery to attack the blocking position. Let him clean up the attacking troops for me. I will make up for all the losses I suffered..."

Less than two minutes after the order was issued, six flames spewed out from the World War II position halfway up the mountain, which looked particularly dazzling from a distance, just like setting off fireworks.

Then I saw six thick black smoke rising from the middle of the devil's attacking troops, and two or three seconds later, a series of earth-shaking explosions reached the headquarters.

Kong Jie knew at a glance that the Flying Thunder Cannon of the Second Battalion had been fired...

With the impact point as the center, the devils within a radius of [-] to [-] meters were either killed or injured, and a large area fell...

Although the devils' attacking formation was very scattered, a single explosive package the size of a millstone still killed more than [-] devils, and the results were outstanding...

"Boom boom boom..."

Another explosion sounded on the battlefield, some came from the second-line position of the independent regiment, and some came from the devil's offensive position...

They set up the mortars in the Duanjiabao that they had just captured, and approached the firepower points of the [-]nd Battalion and the [-]th Battalion to cover the attacking troops...

But the independent group that stopped them was too familiar with the terrain of Duanjiabao!
As soon as the Devil Artillery Unit fired a round of shells, the Artillery Company of the Second Battalion and the Eighth Battalion locked their positions through the shooting personnel determined in advance, and immediately launched a counterattack...

In the previous battles, Xiao Yuan was often worried that the two mortar companies in his hand would be targeted by the Guizishan Field Artillery Brigade, and he never dared to let them make a move.

After the Heavy Artillery Battalion successfully damaged the Devil's Mountain Field Artillery Brigade, the two mortar companies finally came into play. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, they crippled a mortar squadron of the Devil.

Lieutenant General Sato's face became more and more serious as the Japanese army attacked the position.

There are two reasons in total.

One is that the mountain artillery brigade under his command suffered heavy losses in the artillery raid...

The second is that the frontline offensive troops still haven't made much progress, and the battle damage has reached an astonishing [-] people...

"We can't continue to attack!" Lieutenant General Sato ordered with a serious face!
"We must destroy the fixed firepower point on the position before we have a chance to rush up..."

"Mountain Field Artillery Brigade, infantry artillery squads, immediately cover the positions halfway up the mountain with artillery fire to cover the retreat of the attacking troops..."

Lieutenant General Sato decided to repeat the old trick, but the chief of staff did not immediately accept the order, but looked embarrassed.

"Division Commander... The Mountain Artillery Brigade and the Infantry Artillery Squad have just been attacked...still on the way to transfer, there is no way to counterattack immediately..."

"Then let them hurry up!" Lieutenant General Sato ordered in a bad tone!
"The attacking troops must wait until they fire their guns before they can retreat..."

"This is an excellent opportunity for us to severely damage the ground forces of the Independence Regiment!"

"If the troops are withdrawn first and then the artillery is fired, the troops of the independent regiment guarding the surface position will definitely withdraw into the artillery hole immediately!"

"Everyone has seen the anti-blasting tunnels and machine gun bunkers built by the Independent Regiment. They are all built with steel rails. Although no cement is used, they are no worse than the bunkers built with reinforced concrete..."

"Except for incendiary bombs, heavy artillery shells, aerial bombs...ordinary shells are difficult to destroy..."

"At that time, if we fired again, we would not be able to blow up anything, and a lot of shells would be wasted!"

The chief of staff understood: "The humble officer is now urging the mountain artillery brigade to establish a position as soon as possible, and cover the attacking troops to retreat..."

Ten minutes later, the Japanese attacking force had lost more than [-] people, almost half the casualties...

Lieutenant General Sato could hardly wait, when the roaring cannon finally sounded behind him.

Much weaker than before.

"Rumble..."

A string of flames and black smoke soon rose from the blocking position, and the attacking troops took the opportunity to retreat...

All of this developed according to Lieutenant General Sato's thinking.

But his frown didn't relax, instead it got deeper and deeper. He turned his head and asked the chief of staff, "Why are there so many shells..."

"The intensity of the artillery fire is not half as good as before... How can such shells severely damage the troops of the Independent Regiment defending the surface positions!"

The chief of staff quickly explained: "The commander of the division calms down..."

"During the artillery battle just now, the field artillery brigade was too bulky and difficult to move. It took more than [-] field artillery shells and large-caliber mortar shells..."

"In the end, only four field guns were transferred, less than [-]% of the gunners!"

"The Mountain Cannon Brigade suffered nearly [-] shells, and six mountain cannons were transferred out. About [-]% of the gunners..."

"The two infantry artillery positions suffered more than 105 shells, but some of the shells fired in time were fired by [-]mm caliber mountain artillery, which was particularly lethal..."

"Only ten mountain cannons were transferred, less than half of the gunners!"

"Nani? How could the loss be so large?" Lieutenant General Sato was taken aback, and ignored the retreating offensive troops at the front, staring at the chief of staff and continuing to ask.

"How much artillery was lost by the heavy artillery battalion of the independent regiment... how many artillery are left to continue fighting..."

"Why hasn't the air force supporting us arrived yet!"

"I also expect them to cooperate with the artillery to wipe out the heavy artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment!"

Faced with this question, the chief of staff thought for a while before answering: "The humble officer believes that the shelling just now was a premeditated action by the heavy artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment..."

"Accurately lock the artillery position of our army, and a shot will cause us huge losses, causing the mountain artillery brigade, field artillery brigade, and infantry artillery squad to be unable to launch a counterattack immediately."

"Although the Heavy Artillery Brigade counterattacked immediately, they had too few artillery pieces, and only locked on the three artillery positions of the Independent Regiment!"

"By the time they were about to shift their attack target, the Heavy Artillery Battalion of the Independent Regiment had stopped firing and shifted their position..."

"We can kill three of their artillery companies at most..."

"It will take ten minutes for the first batch of three planes dispatched by the Aviation Corps to arrive at the battlefield..."

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