The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 734 Kawasaki Wants to Retaliate Again (Part [-])
At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Major General Kawasaki rarely sat down to rest for a while.

Lieutenant Assistant Cunshang stood aside with a very relaxed expression: "General."

"After the main force of the city defense force withdrew from the city wall, the casualties caused by the Eighth Route Army's flying thunder artillery to our army plummeted."

"According to this rate of loss, the Eighth Route Army will not even try to enter Baoding City after ten days of attack."

Major General Kawasaki smiled in relief.

Fortunately, I changed my mind at that time and thought of Feilei Cannon, otherwise the city defense force would have lost more than 1000 people.

The results did not last long.

Just half an hour after relaxing, the sound of thunderous explosions spread from the top of the city to the headquarters again.

Major General Kawasaki received the news ten minutes later, and a look of anger flashed on his calm face again.

Gritting his teeth, he didn't utter a word for a long time.

After a full 5 minutes of silence, he opened his mouth: "The enemy changes and we change. We can't be led by the nose by the Eighth Route Army all the time. The city defense forces must adjust their deployment immediately."

"As far as I know: The explosives fired by the Feilei Cannon mainly use shock waves to kill people."

"It is very difficult to directly destroy weapons and ammunition."

"Let the city defense troops deploy all light and heavy machine guns on the city walls, leaving only 400 people to defend the city."

"After being attacked by the infantry of the Eighth Route Army, all light and heavy machine guns participated in the battle."

"Let the Eighth Route Army mistakenly think that the main force of the city defense force is on the top of the city."

"Inducing them to attack the city with flying thunder cannons."

"Consume a lot of gunpowder in their hands."

"A single shot of a Feilei cannon consumes more than ten catties of gunpowder."

"The Eighth Route Army deployed more than 200 flying thunder cannons outside the city."

"A salvo needs to consume more than 2000 catties of gunpowder."

"Even if black powder is used, it will be a huge waste."

"From dark to now, the Eighth Route Army's Feilei Cannon troops have consumed six to seven thousand catties of gunpowder."

"I don't believe they have enough gunpowder to run out of."

…………

At [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, the Japanese aircraft appeared over the battlefield on time.

The scene of the two planes being blown up yesterday is still vivid in my memory. The three planes rushing over will not repeat the same mistakes no matter how stupid they are. They have been circling back and forth at an altitude of 500 meters without lowering their altitude.

This scene made Major General Kawasaki jump his feet in anger.

But there is no way.

Yesterday, because of him, two planes were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, which caused the Aviation Command to suffer a big loss. Today they did not work hard, and no one could speak.

Maybe it's for the sake of looking good, maybe it's to deal with Okamura Neiji's military order.

After circling for more than 20 minutes, three planes began to attack.

Drop bombs at a height of 500 meters, leave the battlefield after dropping the bombs, and don't stay for a minute. As for the Eighth Route Army's offensive positions shrouded in smoke, they can hide as far away as possible.

The higher the plane's bombing altitude, the lower the bomb's aim.

More than a dozen aerial bombs flew down from a height of several hundred meters, and only half of them landed on the Eighth Route Army's offensive positions. As for whether they hit the trenches, only God knows.

The bomb with the largest bombing error fell on the corner of the city wall.

With more than ten meters left, it hit the top of the city, frightening Major General Kawasaki into a cold sweat, and yelling at the aviation soldiers who had already begun to retreat in the sky.

"Stupid pig, coward..."

"When the battle is over, I will go to the front army headquarters to complain to them in person."

"The Eighth Route Army didn't bomb it, but dropped the bomb on the edge of the city wall, almost blowing up the city wall."

"Are they here to reinforce the Baoding garrison, or are they here to help the Eighth Route Army?"

"It's so annoying..."

Lieutenant Assistant Cunshang was very angry and comforted him: "General..."

"Aviators are a bunch of guys who do more than fail."

"As long as the smoke created by the Eighth Route Army doesn't disperse, they won't dare to drop bombs at low altitudes, so it's better not to come."

"In case we are also frightened, lest they accidentally hurt their own people."

Major General Kawasaki did not answer immediately.

Although the air force's bombing just now was unsatisfactory, it almost killed its own people.

But after all, several bombs fell on the Eighth Route Army's offensive position.

A blind cat can kill a lot of people by running into a mouse.

If the aviation reinforcements are refused, the Eighth Route Army will have to eliminate them on their own.

If you kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, the Baoding garrison will definitely lose a lot of people in the battle.

In this way, it is better to have aircraft reinforcements.

Although the results are not great, the mosquitoes are small and meaty, so it is better than relying on yourself.

Immediately shook his head: "Aviation reinforcements cannot be stopped."

"If one plane kills ten Eighth Route Army troops, a dozen or so aircraft reinforcements per day can at least help us kill one company."

"If we were to wipe out a company in offensive and defensive combat, we wouldn't be able to lose a squadron of infantry."

Speaking of this, Major General Kawasaki suddenly thought of the battle last night and immediately asked.

"After adjusting the strength and firepower of the city defense troops, will the losses be great in the second half of the night?"

The angry expression on Cunshang Zhongzuo's face was immediately replaced by a smile, and he said happily: "The loss is very small."

"Your method is very useful."

"The Eighth Route Army carried out a total of three rounds of artillery coverage in the middle of the night, and the four city defense forces lost more than 500 people, and each city defense force only lost more than 100 people on average."

"More than 600 people were lost in the first half of the night, and they were also covered by three artillery fires."

"Casualties have been reduced by more than [-]%."

"Although the Eighth Route Army didn't suffer any losses, they fired six rounds of explosives, consuming more than 3000 catties of various gunpowder."

"At 02:30 AM the last artillery strike was launched."

"No matter how provocative we are, the Feilei Cannon will no longer participate in the battle."

"The humble staff thinks that the Eighth Route Army should be running out of gunpowder."

"Continuing to fight in this situation, we will definitely be able to keep Baoding."

"No... Just keeping Baoding is not enough..." Major General Kawasaki interrupted suddenly.

His eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

He slapped the battlement in front of him with a slap, and said excitedly: "We still have to find a way to counterattack the Eighth Route Army in the wing and hit them hard."

"The adjustment last night not only reduced the losses of the city defense troops, but also made the Eighth Route Army mistakenly believe that we suffered heavy casualties, which led to the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy."

"In the past, we underestimated the enemy and were caught off guard by the Eighth Route Army's ambushes."

"This time I decided to fight the enemy with an eye for an eye, and let the Eighth Route Army take the enemy lightly."

"We set up an ambush in Baoding City, killing them by surprise, and taking the opportunity to severely injure them."

Cunshang Zhongzuo's mind turned quickly, and he instantly understood the thought of the brigade commander: "General, you want to take this opportunity to show weakness and arrange an ambush in Baoding City."

"Waiting for the Eighth Route Army to suddenly join the battle when the Yizhong Eighth Route Army launched a general offensive, and caught them off guard."

"Not bad..." Major General Kawasaki nodded.

"The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong did not know our real casualties."

"It's okay to take the opportunity to hide two thousand ambush soldiers."

"During the decisive battle between the two sides, our army suddenly had [-] more fresh troops, which not only boosted morale, but also became the last straw that crushed the Eighth Route Army in the wings."
