The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 824 Huang Yu: Then we will plan (second update)

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

After being happy for less than ten seconds, the screeching sound of shells crossing the sky suddenly sounded above the squadron leader's head, and when he raised his head, he heard several explosions behind him.

The dazzling flames produced by the explosion were particularly dazzling, and it was obvious at a glance that they were blasted by mountain artillery shells.

"Captain, the mortar position is being targeted by the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery unit. Our range is limited, so we can't counterattack, so we can only move passively."

The squadron leader is not a vegetarian, so he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and contact the squadron leader and ask for artillery support."

"He has two infantry artillery and a mountain artillery squadron in his hand. He will definitely be able to reach the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery positions."

At this moment, the few remaining flying thunder artillery teams of the attacking force had touched the position 200 meters in front of the formation.

The gunner lay on the ground, wielding the engineer shovel, and soon dug out a hole about the size of the gun barrel.

Put the gasoline barrel in, fill the gap with soil, and then start stuffing propellant, baffle, and explosive package the size of a millstone into the barrel.

"Boom boom boom..."

A dull explosion soon sounded in front of the Japanese army's position, and the orange-red flames and white smoke were sprayed out by the gasoline barrels, which looked like giant fireworks from a distance.

The explosive package the size of a millstone was ejected from the gun barrel at the same time, tumbling and flying towards the blocking position.

The leader of the Devil Squadron happened to see this scene, his face turned pale, and at the same time he hugged his head and threw himself into the trench, praying that the explosives in the sky would not fall by his side.

"Rumble..."

The sound of a thunderous explosion soon rang in his ears, and the powerful shock wave made his ears buzz, and the dry food he just ate in his stomach was about to be spit out, which was very uncomfortable.

A second later, although the body was very uncomfortable, it was not blown out of consciousness.

The squadron leader's pale face finally had a tinge of blood, and he was secretly grateful, and quickly got up from the ground to observe the situation of the position.

The nearest explosive package fell more than 30 meters away, directly blasting a huge crater with a depth of three meters and a radius of more than five meters on the ground.

The trench next to the bomb crater was directly blown down, and the soldiers inside were either killed or injured, and there was no movement anyway.

Taking a quick look at the position, there are a total of three giant bomb craters along the trench, indicating that the Eighth Route Army still has three flying mine cannons that can be used before the battle, and a second round of explosives may be fired at him at any time.

"Da da da... bang bang bang..."

The sound of machine gun fire and explosions sounded again, pulling the lost squadron leader back to reality.

At the same time, the subordinates exclaimed: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack..."

"At least one battalion, equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns..."

"The firepower was too strong, and the troops were all suppressed in the trenches, and we couldn't raise our heads and fight back."

Subconsciously, the squadron leader has to show his head to observe the battle situation, so as to determine the strength of the opponent, so as to know himself and the enemy.

As a result, as soon as he exposed his eyes to the edge of the trench, a string of heavy machine gun bullets swept towards him.

If he hadn't reacted in time and retracted his head immediately, there must have been a bullet that exploded his head on the spot instead of burrowing into the soil behind his scalp.

Although I didn't see it very clearly, I just glanced over it, but the strength of the opponent's battalion must be only a lot more.

Take another look at yourself...

There are less than 20 subordinates who can still move within the field of vision, and there should be only 50 or [-] soldiers who can't see but can still fight. The total strength is less than half before the war.

Half an infantry squadron faced a reinforced battalion of the Eighth Route Army head-on, and the squadron leader had no chance of winning.

But what they received was an order to die. Unless the division head, Lieutenant General Sakuragi, told them to retreat, they would die here.

He could only draw out his command knife, and ordered bravely: "Fight to the end..."

"If you can use a machine gun, use a machine gun to stop it. If you can use a rifle, use a rifle. If you don't have a rifle, use a grenade. Hold your position at all costs."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, looking at the battlefield full of fire in front of him, Huang Yu looked very serious, for fear that something might go wrong and the troops' attack would be frustrated.

"Xiao Huang, the Shunping garrison just sent a good news..."

"They used the Flying Thunder Cannon to successfully break through the Japanese army's outer defenses."

"Two battalions have entered the Japanese positions and are attacking the Japanese defense lines on both wings to expand the breakthrough."

"This attack speed is too fast."

"It's only been 10 minutes since the attack started, and we broke through the first line of defense that the Devils had finally repaired. It seems that God is on our side tonight."

"Report to the Deputy Chief of Staff..." The radio operator rushed to Huang Yu with a smile on his face.

The 26th regiment next to the Shunpei garrison regiment has also broken through the first line of defense of the Japanese army.

"They want to continue to charge forward, take advantage of the victory, and take down the second line of defense that the Kwantung Army is rushing to repair."

Huang Yu thought for a while and replied: "A regiment is too dangerous."

"There are at least [-] little devils in the encirclement. If you rush into their positions, you will easily be surrounded by the devils. They will pull out their teeth and fight us in a battle of annihilation."

"Send a telegram to the 26th regiment and the Shunping garrison regiment."

"Let them attack the second line of defense of the Japanese army together."

"The two regiments marched side by side and attacked together."

"In case of an accident, there is still a care for each other."

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to the battlefield full of artillery fire again, and suddenly asked after 1 minute: "The Kwantung Army Field Artillery Brigade and the Heavy Artillery Brigade seem to have never made a move."

"The defense line has been broken by us, and we are still hiding in the ground and acting like a turtle. There must be something wrong with it."

Chief of Staff Liu Sen immediately thought of a possibility: "Is the devil's artillery waiting for our army's artillery to strike first?"

"They struck late and annihilated all artillery units of our army in one fell swoop."

"It's probably like this..." Huang Yu immediately showed a relieved expression, and then stared at Liu Sen's order.

"Since the devils want to see our artillery take action so much, then let them do so."

"Contact the artillery, and immediately deploy four mountain artillery companies to cover the Junpei garrison regiment and the 26th regiment to raid the second line of defense of the Japanese army."

"Each cannon fires three shells, and then moves after firing."

"Remember, transfer the gunner first, and come back to transfer the artillery after the artillery position is safe."

"The Japanese army assembled more than 30 heavy artillery and field artillery to deal with us. Only by throwing bait to force them out, can we fight back, destroy them, and completely destroy this tiger tooth."

…………

Lieutenant General Sakuragi's face was even uglier than before at the Japanese Army Command.

It was thought that the first line of defense could withstand the Eighth Route Army's two-hour attack, but within 10 minutes of the battle, two lines of defense were breached, and other places were also in danger and could be captured by the Eighth Route Army at any time.

Faced with these bad news, Lieutenant General Sakuragi's first reaction was to send troops to reinforce the battlefield and block the breakthrough.

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed the order again.

Now that there is a gap in sending troops to reinforce, an uncontrolled encounter is definitely inevitable.

The reinforcements are still on the offensive side, and even if they succeed in regaining the gap, they will have to pay a huge price.

What the Sakuragi Division lacks the most right now are soldiers, if they can't fight such a thankless battle, they will suffer too much.
