The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 828 The Bad News That Can't Be Digested (Second)

"The bombardment is about to start..." Wang Lin said expectantly, never leaving his watch.

"Woooooooo..."

As soon as the words fell, the screams of shells across the sky sounded above their heads, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Rumble..."

A thunderous explosion soon sounded behind them, and a large number of fireballs immediately shot up among the Japanese tank troops 600 meters away.

The dazzling firelight illuminates the place so clearly that it can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

A tank happened to be hit by a shell and instantly turned into a ball of fire, billowing thick smoke rising into the sky at the same time.

Another armored vehicle was overturned by heavy artillery shells.

The chassis was facing upwards, and the body was emitting black smoke. As for the little devil in the compartment, he would definitely not die or be seriously injured.

There was also a tank that suddenly stopped in place for some reason, as if the ghosts in the tank were all dead at once, and they couldn't continue to operate the tank.

"Well fried..." Chen Jia jumped up from the ground excitedly.

"One round of shelling can kill three of the little devil's tanks, and five rounds of shelling can at least severely damage the devil's tank troops."

"No matter how bold the few remaining tanks are, they dare not bite our buttocks and pursue them."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The second round of shells fell quickly, and the number of shells was more than before.

The remaining dozen tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese tank unit were shrouded in smoke from the shells on the spot.

Seeing this, the fool also knew that the Japanese tank unit was over.

Wang Lin decisively withdrew his gaze, glanced at the enemy's situation on his side and began to give an order: "The troops will turn around immediately and attack to the east of us, at a faster speed."

"I have a very strong hunch that the head of the Japanese lieutenant general's division is there."

"Other troops participating in the war have broken through the first line of defense of the Japanese army and are attacking the second line of defense of the Japanese army with all their strength."

"The main force of the Japanese army is also concentrated there, and the center of the position must be defenseless."

"If the troops kill them now, maybe they can get a big deal."

…………

Lieutenant General Sakuragi's regiment headquarters was indeed in the attack direction that Wang Lin had identified, and the defense there was also very empty, but Lieutenant General Sakuragi, the head of the division, was not there.

In order to buy more time for the chief of staff to eliminate Wang Lin, Lieutenant General Sakuragi personally rushed to the second-line position to supervise the battle, once in a while to boost morale and inspire the army.

But the situation on the battlefield is far from being as simple as Lieutenant General Sakuragi thought.

His arrival really made the troops on the defense line trustworthy and their morale was high.

But in the face of absolute advantage, this change is not enough to change the situation of the battle.

"Division commander..." A lieutenant ran towards Lieutenant General Sakuragi in a panic, his face full of panic.

"Humble position is the adjutant of the Fourth Squadron defending the left-wing defense line. We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army's flying thunder artillery at close range. More than half of the troops were killed or injured. The Eighth Route Army has rushed to the front of the position and is about to lose its hold. We urgently need reinforcements."

"What about the artillery... What are the mortars given to you by the division headquarters to strengthen? Why don't you fight back?"

The lieutenant replied with a mournful face: "The humble officer also wants the artillery to counterattack, preemptively, and destroy the Feilei artillery equipped by the Eighth Route Army..."

"But the Eighth Route Army attacking us is also equipped with a large number of mortars, and the number is a little more than ours."

"The mortar team was suppressed and beaten as soon as they were exposed, and they didn't even have a chance to fire."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi was about to go mad with anger, but the crisis facing the defense forces had to be resolved.

Otherwise, a breakthrough at one point on the defense line may bring a devastating blow to the entire defense line.

Immediately ordered to the combat staff behind him: "Immediately transfer a reinforcement team from the reserve team to reinforce the fourth squadron."

"Contact the Field Artillery Brigade and the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and provide as much artillery support as possible to the defensive troops."

"Where there are more Eighth Route Army offensive troops, they will shoot wherever they are."

"As long as they cause a large number of casualties, the offensive will naturally slow down."

The artillery staff officer on the side immediately reminded: "Division commander... It seems that something happened to both the field artillery brigade and the heavy artillery brigade..."

"The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong has more than [-] mountain artillery and heavy artillery hidden here, more than twice the number of our army."

"They also struck late and destroyed a heavy artillery brigade of our army first, causing the heavy artillery brigade to face three times the number of artillery attacks."

"The humble job just received the news: the two field artillery brigades have been severely damaged, and there are less than ten field artillery left to continue to participate in the battle. They are setting up artillery on the new artillery position and looking for counterattack targets."

"The heavy artillery brigade was also fatally attacked, and only five guns were left to continue fighting."

"The artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army are chasing them and firing. As soon as the target is exposed, several times the number of mountain artillery and heavy artillery will attack them."

"There is definitely no way to reinforce the defensive troops in a short time..."

Lieutenant Admiral Sakuragi's face sank instantly, and before he could fully digest the bad news brought by the artillery staff, the radio operator also ran towards him, looking very nervous.

"The head of the division... the chief of staff urgently called..."

"The two battalions of the Eighth Route Army that got into our stomachs suddenly needed a lot of artillery support."

"A dozen or so chariots in our life suffered heavy losses in the artillery attack, and only five chariots remained to continue fighting."

"The two battalions of the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to turn around and head towards the headquarters."

"The chief of staff wants to use the headquarters as a bait to gather and annihilate two battalions of the Eighth Route Army. Please ask the division chief for approval."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi was pissed off again, and he cursed with a look of hatred on the spot: "A bunch of stupid pigs..."

"A reinforced brigade with more than a dozen chariots to cooperate in the battle. After chasing for so long, even two battalions of the Eighth Route Army have not been wiped out. I am so disappointed."

"Call the Chief of Staff back immediately."

"I don't care how he fights, the battle must be over within 10 minutes, and the two battalions of the Eighth Route Army must be wiped out."

"Then immediately deploy troops to reinforce the front line and stabilize the second line of defense."

"Rumble..."

The thunderous explosion of the explosive package suddenly reached Lieutenant Sakuragi's ears.

When I raised the binoculars, I saw three orange-red fireballs soaring from the ground, and the dazzling firelight directly illuminated the area around the point of impact into daylight.

Countless Kwantung Army elite fell to the ground in a fighting posture and did not move. It was obvious at a glance that they had been shocked to death by the shock wave.

The three balls of fire were close together, just on both sides of the line of defense.

As soon as the explosion rang out, the sky-shattering shouts of killing sounded in front of the blocking position. Two or three hundred Eighth Route Army formed a skirmish line to launch an attack.

At a glance, the opponent is equipped with at least twenty machine guns.

On the other hand, in the blocking position, there were only three machine guns desperately fighting back, and the sound of rifle firing was also very messy. There were at most thirty or forty riflemen left.

"It's such a powerful flying thunder cannon... One round of shooting disabled one of our infantry squadrons..." Lieutenant General Sakuragi suppressed his anger and sighed.

Immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange two reinforcement teams from the reserve team to reinforce the past. The gap must be blocked to block the Eighth Route Army's offensive."
