The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 814 The price of underestimating the enemy (second update)
The captain didn't answer the orderer's words, but stared at him with a serious face and asked: "How many people from the Eighth Route Army attacking you..."

The orderly replied with a guilty conscience: "It's about one platoon..."

"Nani?" The captain laughed angrily.

On the spot, he showed an expression of hating iron but scolding: "A bunch of stupid pigs..."

"A platoon of the Eighth Route Army scares you like this, and the Kwantung Army loses all face."

"Go back and tell your squadron leader: "Dozens of Eighth Route Army, each of you should have wiped them out, instead of asking your superiors for artillery support. "

"The troops continue to attack, and use the fastest speed to eliminate the remaining enemies in the village. I will not provide him with any support..."

Ten minutes later, the captain led the team to successfully run through the entire village.

But the sound of firefights on both sides of the main road showed no signs of weakening.

According to the planned battle plan, several squadrons should advance side by side, sweeping across the entire village like plowing fields, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army inside at once.

As a result, except for myself, the remaining squadrons all fell behind.

No, to be precise, it should be dragged in the village by the Eighth Route Army, unable to rush forward as fast as myself and keep up with my pace.

The captain decided to help them.

Lead the troops and kill towards the area where the firefight is the densest.

…………

"Sir, why are you here? It's too dangerous here..." The squadron leader was taken aback by the sudden arrival of the squadron leader, and asked anxiously, for fear that a bullet would kill the squadron leader.

"Baga, Lu, how did you fight..." The captain looked very unsightly, staring at his subordinates and yelling.

"After fighting for so long, how come the troops still stop here and retreat..."

"Is it so difficult to eliminate dozens of Eighth Route Army?"

The squadron leader was very embarrassed by the scolding. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while before raising his head, and reported: "Captain calm down..."

"Although the enemy's strength is small, they are very cunning..."

"Transfer around through tunnels, always attacking us with firepower in unexpected places."

"The troops couldn't find the target in the counterattack, and they were always being beaten passively."

"Two of the three teams in the hands of the humble staff have already lost two, and only one team is still insisting. Please punish the captain."

"Nani..." This time the captain was really frightened.

When assaulting the third line of defense outside the village, the casualties of the entire brigade did not add up to a small team.

After the troops entered the village, facing the remnants of the Eighth Route Army who only dared to fight coldly and did not dare to confront themselves head-on, it was incredible that one squadron lost two squadrons.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't believe it.

At this time, another idea suddenly popped up in the head of the brigade: "The second brigade lost two squadrons in just over ten minutes. The other two squadrons in the village are also in a dilemma. Their losses must not be small."

In this way, a full infantry brigade under his command has already suffered more than half of the casualties.

However, their opponent, the Eighth Route Army, still hid in the tunnels and beat them coldly, exhausting their strength.

The captain was a little anxious, and immediately said: "We must find a way to make a quick decision and eliminate the remnants of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, and we cannot let them continue to attack us."

"The loss is too great, and no amount of our troops can afford it."

"Da da da……"

The familiar sound of machine gun fire soon sounded not far away, and the captain drew out his command knife and pointed there: "What are you still doing in a daze, the troops will immediately kill the machine gunners."

"Captain, you can't send troops there..." The squadron leader hurriedly stopped.

"There must be other Eighth Route Army hiding around. Once the troops attack, they will be attacked by surprise."

"The enemy who sneaked up on us just now ran away long ago, and they won't get anything if they kill them, and they will lose a lot of people in vain on the way to attack."

The captain of the brigade was anxious, and asked loudly: "If you are attacked, you don't fight back..."

"Could it be that we just watched the Eighth Route Army continue to consume our troops with cold guns?"

"You can counterattack with a grenade..." The squadron leader quickly explained.

"This way of fighting has the least loss, and it is possible to kill the opponent. It is more cost-effective than sending infantry to assault."

As soon as the words were finished, two explosions rang out from the machine gun positions just now, and the gunfire stopped abruptly. As for whether the explosions hurt the Eighth Route Army, no one knew. Anyway, the squadron leader dared not rashly send someone to count the results of the battle.

The team leader quickly realized the advantages of this style of play, and immediately ordered: "Then why are you so dazed..."

"Hurry up and order the troops to continue to charge forward..."

"The troops prepare the grenades in advance, and then directly use the grenades to counterattack when they are attacked."

The squadron leader replied with a wry smile: "The grenade is not always useful..."

"Boom boom boom..."

Perhaps to prove what the squadron leader said, several explosions reached the squadron leader's ears at the same time.

Turning his head, he saw six or seven of the subordinates he had just brought fell down, and black smoke was still rising from the point of impact.

"It's a grenade attack..." The squadron leader quickly made a judgment.

"This is another way for the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack us."

"Soldiers hid in the ruins, behind broken walls, at hidden tunnel entrances, and suddenly threw grenades at us."

"There is no sound when throwing grenades. Many grenades that attacked us were not discovered until they exploded. It would be too late to move."

"We couldn't find the specific location of the enemy who threw the grenade, and there was no way to counterattack with the grenade empty."

"Since entering the village, this kind of defenseless attack has never stopped."

Hearing this, a serious expression finally flashed on the captain's face, realizing that although the Eighth Route Army in the village is small, it is harder to eliminate than a battalion of Eighth Route Army face to face.

At this time, a messenger from the fourth squadron suddenly ran towards him: "Report to the captain."

"The Eighth Route Army in the village is too cunning, we can't guard against it."

"The troops have suffered heavy losses. Our squadron leader begs to withdraw from the battle and let the artillery level the village before launching a new round of attack."

This time the captain did not reprimand the messenger.

After glancing around, he made a decision: "Retreat..."

"Immediately send a signal to retreat, and all troops will evacuate from the village, at a faster speed."

He turned his head and ordered to the messenger: "Go and report to the commander of the division. Our department was strongly blocked by the Eighth Route Army in the village. The troops suffered heavy losses. Please ask for artillery support."

"Please artillery units immediately cover Chenjiazhuang with artillery fire and raze the buildings in the village to the ground."

…………

The Japanese army attacked the position. After listening to the attacking force's request for artillery support, Lieutenant General Sakuragi couldn't believe his ears. He stared at the orderer to confirm twice before believing what he heard.

Although I am full of curiosity about the battle in the village, I wish I could find out more about it now.

But business matters.

Not daring to delay for a second, he ordered with a sullen face: "Artillery, aviation, immediately cover Chenjiazhuang with artillery fire, and raze the buildings in the village to the ground..."
