The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 731 Li Yunlong: Too prodigal... (Second update)
The offensive position was full of rising smoke. Li Yunlong couldn't see the situation on the top of the city, and the Japanese army also couldn't see the offensive position clearly, so they could only shoot blindly at the approximate position of the trench.

The accuracy is extremely poor, less than [-]% to [-]% of what the little devil usually fights.

Huang Yu quickly touched the edge of the offensive position along the traffic trench.

It is located on the edge of the smoke, and the city can be seen clearly.

At a glance, the Japanese and puppet troops above did not move.

Except for the mortar shells flying from the sky, none of the light and heavy machine guns above the city fired.

A few hundred meters away, the gate of the city was also closed tightly, and many Japanese and puppet troops could still be seen patrolling back and forth on the top of the city.

Huang Yu smiled, and reported to Kong Jie happily when he returned to the headquarters: "Head of the regiment..."

"There is no change in the Japanese and puppet troops at the head of the city."

"This is just an ordinary artillery attack without any conspiracy."

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded when he heard it, and asked back with a puzzled face: "Facts have proved that this shelling has no effect on us."

"That doesn't stop us from releasing the smoke at all."

"Do you have a lot of shells, little devil? It's too prodigal to be so profligate."

Huang Yu shook his head: "It's really a prodigal."

"But it's not useless."

"Although the shelling accuracy is not high, the speed of soldiers digging trenches will be more or less affected."

An envious expression flashed across Li Yunlong's face, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's better to fight for wealth."

"In order to harass us and slow down our trench digging, let us attack Baoding two days later."

"Thousands of shells are shot out like this."

"This is too prodigal."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong's face immediately turned into a heartbroken expression: "These are all our shells."

"Now hit one more."

"In the future, if we capture Baoding, we will capture one less."

"It's so annoying."

Kong Jie was also heartbroken. He shook his head and said helplessly, "The shells are still in the devil's hands."

"They can't stop them even if they want to hit us. Who told them to use cannonballs as cannonballs?"

"There are several arsenals in Baoding, full of weapons and ammunition."

"Even if the little devil spends so much energy, he can't finish it."

"As long as our siege progress is not affected, the remaining ammunition will be ours sooner or later."

Huang Yu followed up and said, "No matter what, the troops entered Baoding one day earlier."

"We can seize one or two thousand more shells, tens of thousands or even 10,000+ rounds of ammunition."

"Leader, Captain Li..."

"The top priority now is to minimize the impact of the devil's shelling on us."

"If it's possible, it's best to get back the time we've lost due to the artillery raid."

One or two thousand shells, 10,000+ rounds of ammunition, no matter where it is, it is a big piece of fat.

Li Yunlong's eyes became hot in an instant, and he slapped his head and said, "This is simple."

"The smoke blocked the sight of the Devil Artillery."

"Their artillery can only fire blindly, and they can't carry out precise strikes on us."

"As long as the soldiers hide in the trenches and dig trenches while squatting, the chances of hitting them will be very low."

"We can send two more companies to dig trenches and dig a few more traffic trenches."

"Advance side by side, extend to the second offensive position, and extend to the left and right sides together to connect the traffic trenches."

"The more traffic trenches, the faster the second offensive position can be dug."

"The same method can also be used to dig a third offensive position."

"We must be able to compress the time for building offensive positions within two days."

Kong Jie was also inspired and followed up the conversation.

"According to the original plan, in order to avoid air strikes and reduce casualties, we can only attack at night."

"With smoke, troops can attack during the day."

"The time consumed by the Japanese and puppet mobile troops can also be compressed by one day."

Li Yunlong was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground.

Building an offensive position saved one day, and consuming Japanese mobile troops saved another day. If the general offensive could save half a day, the troops would be able to capture four to five thousand more shells and four to five million rounds of ammunition.

Enough to fight several large-scale battles alone.

Immediately nodded: "I think it is feasible."

"I'm going to dispatch troops now."

"Old Kong, give orders to the attacking troops in other directions."

"Also ask them to prepare extra wet firewood that releases the smoke."

"Wherever the offensive position is dug, the smoke we release will go."

"Don't give the Japanese and puppet troops any chance to attack us."

…………

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Major General Kawasaki spent five or six thousand shells before and after, but he still couldn't stop the Eighth Route Army from digging trenches.

At 200 o'clock the next night, the last offensive position less than [-] meters away from the city wall was completed.

Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers, and fly mine cannons were immediately deployed.

The soldiers were like a group of hungry wolves asking about the smell of blood, all staring at the top of the city with their eyes shining.

Li Yunlong bent over and shuttled back and forth in the trench, checking the positions of machine guns and artillery pieces one by one.

This is a habit he has formed since he was a soldier.

Every time you fight a battle, you have to check the position yourself.

After watching a circle, I stopped by the machine gun position, raised my binoculars, and slowly poked my head out of the trench to observe the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops seem to have realized that there will be a big battle waiting for them tonight.

A black holed gun barrel protruded from each battlement.

The daytime patrols were also nowhere to be seen.

All this proves that the Japanese and puppet troops in Chengtou are ready to fight.

Li Yunlong curled his lips, not worried because the Japanese army stepped up their guard, but showed a confident expression that he was sure of them.

"Captain..."

The chief of staff stooped and trotted over.

"A total of 56 flying thunder cannons have been aimed at the city as ordered."

"The preparatory launch positions are also ready."

"After a round of shooting is over, the Feilei cannon will be transferred immediately."

"Can we fire now?"

Li Yun threw his head back, and ordered while observing the enemy's situation at the top of the city.

"Ready the flare gun, and start attacking in 5 minutes."

"The city defense forces of the Japanese and puppet troops are worried about our general attack tonight."

"All hiding behind the battlements and waiting."

"As long as the Feilei cannon is accurate enough, throwing a few more explosive packets on the top of the city will definitely kill the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city and severely damage them."

"After the feint attack began, light and heavy machine guns joined the battle at the same time, attracting the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, covering the Feilei artillery and moving to the reserve position, and continuing to use explosives to consume their troops."

…………

At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Major General Kawasaki was standing by the sand table with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He was very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Lieutenant Assistant Cunshang stood aside, his face was more worried than that of Major General Kawasaki.

After receiving the telegram sent by the communications staff officer, he glanced at it and reported solemnly: "General..."

"The latest report from the city defense force shows that the Eighth Route Army's offensive position has been dug."

"The offensive position in the east of the city is dug to a position 180 meters outside the city, and the offensive position in the west of the city is dug to a position 160 meters outside the city."

"The south of the city and the north of the city were dug to a position 200 meters outside the city."
