The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 657
The elite army, known as the best in the world, lost to the Eighth Route Army in the bayonet fight, which is simply ridiculous in the world.

Too careless, greatly underestimating the opponent's combat power.

If I had known that the attack just now would have such a result, I should have listened to the captain's suggestion and dispatched all artillery to carry out indiscriminate strikes on the battlefield while the Eighth Route Army was blocking the attacking troops head-on.

Although there will be some accidental injuries to the attacking troops, they are definitely not as good as the losses of the Eighth Route Army.

Unlike now, the attacking troops had already suffered heavy losses in the melee combat just now, and after such an explosion by artillery, there must be very little left.

Even if the blocking position is successfully captured and the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops are severely damaged, the attacking troops will also be wiped out. If you really kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.

No, if the losses of the Imperial Association Army were added, it should have killed [-] enemies and [-] self-damaged losses. The attacking troops lost even more than the blocking troops of the Eighth Route Army.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. He only hopes that the artillery unit can kill a few more people before the Eighth Route Army retreats to the tunnel, otherwise the attacking troops will lose too much.

…………

Wei Dayong rolled over and over again. As soon as he entered the tunnel, an explosion sounded at the entrance and exit of the tunnel. The half-meter-square tunnel was instantly buried, and he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

If he had retreated two seconds later, Wei Dayong would have been blown to nothing.

Wei Dayong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and stretched out towards the tunnel. Soldiers who entered the tunnel from other entrances and exits slowly gathered behind him, and the instructor with an injured arm was also among them. He counted the losses of the troops while retreating.

"Battalion Commander..." After a while, the instructor's heavy report reached Wei Dayong's ears.

"The loss of the troops is a bit big... The hand-to-hand combat and the sudden artillery attack just now caused us more than 200 casualties. We won more than 620 people and only 236 people were withdrawn. The fighters who come can continue to fight."

"Three heavy machine guns were lost, eight light machine guns were lost, and six grenadiers were lost...the whole battalion has only one more company left."

Wei Dayong's face was very solemn, and he was silent for a while before answering: "The training time of the troops is too short, and many casualties were caused by the troops running around when the devils shelled."

"Veterans are afraid of machine guns, and recruits are afraid of artillery. This sentence is indeed true."

"If I give Lao Tzu another month of training time to let the recruits adapt to the battlefield in advance, the casualties in the blocking battle can be reduced by at least [-]%."

"It's a pity that the little devil didn't give us this time."

Having said that, Wei Dayong punched hard on the wall of the tunnel, and continued with a helpless expression.

"You lead the troops directly to the village, and by the way, shrink the troops into a company, take a good rest, replenish physical strength and ammunition. I will go to the command post to meet the regiment commander. There should be more missions tonight."

…………

At the ground command of the garrison regiment, Huang Yu did not respond after listening to Wei Dayong's report, and continued to raise the binoculars to observe the battle situation, making it impossible for Wei Dayong to leave, or not to leave.

Five minutes later, the Japanese artillery covering the second line of defense stopped, and more than 5 days of puppet troops reappeared on the battlefield, patted down by paratroopers who were looser than the previous two attacks, and quickly approached the blocking position.

Only then did Huang Yu put down the binoculars, heaved a long sigh and said, "We can't keep fighting like this."

"In the blocking battle just now, although we severely damaged the four squadrons of the devils and the four companies of the puppet army, we also disabled a main battalion."

"The devil has six infantry brigades, and we only have three main battalions to go to the battlefield. We can't defend Taipingzhuang even if we try our best."

"In the next battle, we must find a way to increase the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops and reduce our own losses."

"The second battalion temporarily withdrew from the battle and retreated to the village for repairs. It will join the battle after dark, and the battle will be handed over to the first battalion in the afternoon."

After speaking, he ordered to Wang Lin: "Leave a reinforced company on the third line of defense, and all other troops will withdraw to the fourth line of defense to stand by."

"Leave more light machine guns and grenades for the troops defending the third line of defense."

"The Devils will definitely change their style of play in the next attack. Try to avoid close combat with us and fight with bayonets."

"[-]% of the artillery will be deployed when the two sides are fighting in full swing, and they will attack the blocking positions indiscriminately, consuming the strength of the blocking troops."

"I decided to follow the plan and use machine guns and grenades to kill the Japanese and puppet attacking troops in large numbers. After their indiscriminate artillery coverage began, I abandoned my position and retreated to the tunnel."

"Kill as many Japanese and puppet troops as you can, and stop fighting with them."

"Leave a few tunnel entrances and exits when the troops retreat, and see if they can lead the devils into the tunnels, and use tunnel warfare to drag the battle until dark."

"Our troops withdrew from the battle through the tunnels in the three blocking battles. Only by destroying the tunnels can the Japanese and puppet troops block us in the position, gather and annihilate us."

"They should be sure to win our tunnel..."

"Just do it like this, let Deng Jingye play his tricks more realistically, and don't let the devils discover those tunnel entrances and exits that made us stay here on purpose."

…………

Half an hour later, Major General Fujita successfully took down the third line of defense at the cost of two infantry squads.

But he was not at all happy.

The attacking troops only found more than [-] corpses of the Eighth Route Army on the position, indicating that the Eighth Route Army who blocked the attacking troops just now escaped through the tunnel.

In order to severely damage the blocking forces of the Eighth Route Army, the artillery preparations before the war became more and more fierce, and more and more attacking troops were sent.

As a result, they all punched the cotton and only killed some small shrimps.

If the main force of the Shunping garrison regiment is not eliminated as soon as possible, the next attack will definitely be blocked and harassed by them endlessly, and they will not be able to reach Chenzhuang in a short time, blocking the only way for the Eighth Route Army to enter the mountain.

"We must find a way to destroy the tunnels that help the Eighth Route Army evacuate their positions, otherwise we will never be able to annihilate the main force of the Junpei garrison..." Major General Fujita said with aggrieved anger.

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning..." The chief of staff was also very angry, and replied with suppressed anger.

"Every time the blocking force retreats, all the tunnel entrances and exits on the position will be destroyed, leaving none behind."

"The humble job asked the engineers to try digging, but they haven't received any good news yet."

At this moment, the messenger of the attacking force ran towards them again, with a look of excitement, even happier than when they captured the third blocking position just now.

"Report to the head of the brigade, we found two tunnel entrances and exits on the position..."

"One was half blown up by a grenade, and it didn't completely collapse. The engineers could get in and out after a little cleaning."

"An unexploded grenade was found at the entrance of another tunnel. The Eighth Route Army must have retreated too hastily. After throwing the grenade, they ran away and encountered a dud."

"Yoshi..."

Major General Fujita laughed after hearing this, and said with emotion: "It is true that there is no place to find when you have broken through the iron shoes, and it is easy to get here. With these two tunnel entrances and exits, we can follow the vines and find out the Eighth Route Army's tunnel network. , wipe out all the eighth route army hiding inside, and cut off the retreat channel of the eighth route army's blocking troops by the way."

"God Amaterasu blesses us, we must let the Eighth Route Army monitor the strength of our Kwantung Army in the next battle, so that they will regret fighting us."

"Immediately mobilize two squadrons to enter the tunnel, destroy the Eighth Route Army hiding inside, and destroy all the tunnel networks under our feet."

"Ground forces suspend attack."

"Only by destroying the underground passages for the Eighth Route Army to withdraw from the battlefield can we gather and annihilate them."

"Otherwise, no matter how fierce the offensive is, it will hit the cotton in a circle, which will not only waste ammunition and delay time, but will not kill a few Eighth Route Army."

…………

More than 300 little devil soldiers got into the tunnel in two ways. Looking at the huge tunnel fortifications in front of them, each devil had a shocked expression from the heart.

It started very smoothly, and from time to time you could see weapons and ammunition thrown by the Eighth Route Army in the tunnel.

As we walked, a fork in the road appeared.

The two squadron leaders did not hesitate to choose to divide their troops to advance, and the full infantry squadron gathered together was then divided into three infantry squadrons.

More and more weapons and ammunition were thrown away by the Eighth Route Army along the way. All the little devils who entered the tunnel thought that the Eighth Route Army was defeated by the artillery fire. In order to survive, they had to flee in embarrassment.

At this time, a new fork in the road appeared in front of the devil again.

The vigilance of the devils became worse and worse, thinking that the Eighth Route Army in the tunnel had become a lost dog and could not threaten their safety, so they chose to divide their troops again, intending to catch all the Eighth Route Army hiding in the tunnel without letting them go.

"boom……"

Two minutes later, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the tunnel. The penetrating power of Sanba Dagai's close-range shooting was very strong. The bullet easily passed from the chest of the first kid on the boat and stayed in the body of the second kid.

The little devil at the back quickly raised his gun to fight back, and the crackling gunshots quickly rang out, but the place where the gun was fired just now was dark and there was nothing, and all the bullets fired went into the soil.

The first two devils died in the tunnel like this, and they didn't even know who their opponents were.

The devil led his team, Chief Cao, to walk in the middle of the team, and escaped by chance. His face was very ugly, and he could not see the arrogance and self-confidence just now.

Facing this kind of opponent who can't see the end of the dragon, and is still in a battlefield he has never seen before, he feels very guilty, and subconsciously wants to order the troops to retreat.

"boom……"

Before the order could be spoken, the explosion sounded behind him, and the screams reached his ears at the same time.

Turning around, I saw three soldiers from the machine gun team lying in a pool of blood. The machine gunner was the worst bombed, with one leg lost, bloody, and there was no movement on the spot.

"Ba Ge Ya Lu, why are there enemies behind us..." Cao Zhang was shocked, his mind was in chaos, and he subconsciously asked.

The surviving soldiers were even more anxious than him.

Someone in front attacked them with a rifle, and someone behind them attacked them with a grenade. There were earth walls on both sides and above the head, and there was no way to transfer them.

It means that everyone must eliminate the Eighth Route Army in any direction before and after to have a chance to get out, otherwise they will be trapped here to death.

But no one knows how many enemies there are in the two directions, and which direction is better to break through, so they can only show a flustered expression of being at a loss.
