The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 453 Lieutenant General Sato: Don't be greedy enough to swallow elephants, don't worry (second more)
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Japanese military garrison, which had been bustling all day long, completely fell silent.

Except for the patrol team and the aftermath of the blazing fire, the other Japanese and puppet troops seem to have fallen into a dream...

In the tent where the division headquarters was located, Lieutenant General Sato didn't feel sleepy at all. Including the chief of staff, several regiment and above officers gathered around to discuss something.

There is a hand-drawn sketch on the table in front of everyone, where there is a line of defense around the garrison, where there are troops, where there are heavy firepower points, artillery positions...all are marked on it.

"Master..."

The Chief of Staff pointed to the sketch presentation.

"We have five mortar squadrons... We have arranged for a mortar squadron to maneuver in the center, and the remaining four mortar squadrons assist in defending the four directions of the garrison!"

"In order to cause the most casualties to the independent regiment, the humble officer gave them a special order: Only when the independent regiment launched an attack exceeds two companies, they can launch poison gas bombs..."

"Otherwise, we can only launch ordinary high-explosive bombs..."

"All the troops in the garrison are stationed in small groups to prevent being taken over by the heavy artillery battalion of the independent regiment..."

Lieutenant General Sato nodded again and again, staring at the map for a long time without finding any loopholes, and then said expectantly: "Then let's wait and see, and wait for the independent regiment to crash here."

The hill where Kong Jie observed the enemy's situation during the day has been transformed into the former enemy headquarters.

At this moment, he was standing at the observation port, looking calmly at the devil camp that was gradually quieting down a few kilometers away.

"Regimental Commander... the little devil is already fast asleep, can we start now?" Chief of Staff Li Wensheng asked expectantly.

Kong Jie glanced at his watch and replied, "Wait another half an hour..."

"Wait for the devils to sleep more soundly before attacking, the shelling effect will be better!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The screeching sound of shells crossing the sky soon resounded on the battlefield. In the violent explosion, groups of fireballs soared into the sky, instantly turning the battlefield into daylight.

Large-caliber heavy artillery, mountain artillery, large-caliber mortars, ordinary mortars, and even flying thunder cannons... Desperately pouring shells at the devil's garrison.

In a short while, the four lines of defense built by the devils around the garrison were completely covered by artillery fire, and they could not see their fingers...

The eight main force companies, divided into four groups, slowly rushed out of the hiding point and went straight to the devil's blocking position.

They want to get as close as possible under the cover of artillery fire to shorten the attack distance.

Standing aside, Huang Yu saw that the head of the regiment had sent out almost all the main force of the independent regiment, and he felt really guilty...I always felt that something unexpected would happen tonight.

Li Wensheng, on the other hand, watched with enthusiasm, thinking that tonight the Independence Regiment was sure to hit the Sato division hard.

He patted Huang Yu on the shoulder and said, "Little Huang, there are only so many cards that the devil can play..."

"As long as the advantage of artillery fire is in our hands, no matter what schemes they play, we can smash him with artillery shells!"

"Without the infantry attacking for a while, the artillery alone can kill half of the little devils on the defense line!"

"The attacking troops rushed up quickly before they could react from the artillery cover, and then killed them by surprise..."

"The little devil on the defense line is finished!"

"The reconnaissance company has already found out the devil's garrison, and there are only two lines of defense in front of the attacking troops..."

"The Sato division heavily defends the outer line of defense, and only a small part of the inner line."

"As long as we break through the outer line of defense, the offensive troops will be able to continue to charge forward, take advantage of the situation to take down their inner line, and then go straight to Huanglong and kill their division headquarters!"

"Take ten thousand steps back... Even if the four-way offensive troops only take down the devil's four outer lines of defense, they can still kill two or three thousand little devils!"

"There are a total of [-] people left in the Sato Division... If we eat another [-] people, the remaining troops will not be as many as ours!"

"If you don't retreat, stay here, our independent group doesn't mind eating them all!"

Huang Yu couldn't find any reason to refute the chief of staff, so he could only nod in approval of his analysis.

At this moment, the bad feeling in my mind suddenly became stronger and stronger.

With an idea, I suddenly thought of a question: "Leader!"

"According to the investigation...the Sato division still has at least fifty small-caliber mortars, it's not that they don't have any artillery counterattack capabilities!"

"But the battle has been fought so far, we only see our artillery attacking their line of defense, but we haven't seen a single shell fired by their artillery!"

"This is so abnormal, I think Sato is trying to trick us!"

"In order to deal with unexpected accidents in time, I want to go to the battlefield in person!"

Kong Jie also felt something was wrong, but the arrow had already been shot, and the attacking troops had no choice but to continue fighting if they wanted to retreat!

Nod to Huang Yu and order: "Bring the Special Forces... and bring a radio station. If there is a situation, contact me immediately..."

Lieutenant General Sato did not stay in the tent waiting for news at the headquarters of the Japanese division.

As soon as the cannons rang out, he climbed up to the high ground next to the tent to observe the battle in person.

In this way, you can understand the real combat situation more intuitively, and you can issue combat orders to the troops more quickly without wasting time in sending messages.

"Division commander... There are at least [-] independent regiments participating in the attack. We will definitely win this battle..." The chief of staff of the Japanese division and regiment glanced at the battlefield and said happily.

"It's because their artillery positions are all out of the effective range of our army's ordinary mortars!" The artillery staff officer said to Disappointment.

"If they put the mountain artillery and heavy artillery within the range of our army's mortars, they only need to fire two or three rounds of gas bombs, and their heavy artillery battalion will be finished."

"In the next battle, we no longer have to worry about their artillery fire!"

"Don't worry!" Lieutenant General Sato comforted him confidently.

"There is a saying in China that greed is not enough and snakes swallow elephants... We only have so many mortars. If we blow up their artillery, we will have no artillery to blow up infantry!"

"Comparing the two pictures, I think the infantry poses a greater threat to us!"

"Without infantry protection, no matter how powerful the artillery is, and no matter how heavy the artillery is, it will still be a piece of meat on our chopping board!"

"Order: All four mortar squadrons aim at the range of [-] to [-] meters in front of the formation!"

"We must wait for all the devils to enter the artillery coverage area before using gas bombs!"

"Fight for a battle and keep all the [-] Route Army participating in the attack!"

"Reconnaissance shows that while we were hit hard, the Independence Regiment was also killed by more than half of us!"

"If we kill another [-] of their elite infantry tonight, there will be no one in the Independent Regiment!"

"In the next raid, we can rampage through their bases like we did a few days ago, without worrying about anything, until the remnants of the independent regiment are forced out to fight us!"

"Have you heard clearly? Success or failure depends on one move. No one or any unit can have any accidents."

The chief of staff replied sternly: "Please rest assured, the head of the division..."

"The humble job will definitely make the independent regiment's attacking troops come and go!"

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