The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The gunfire continued, and more and more soldiers lying on the ground were hit by bullets and died.

When the devil's chief of staff was racking his brains to think of a way to break the situation, the loud charge horn sounded suddenly at the division headquarters.

Dozens of machine gun fire points instantly moved.

The machine gunner jumped up from the bunker with his hands crooked, screaming and launching a counterattack to the attacking troops.

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and then he thought of a way to turn defeat into victory, turned his head and ordered to the artillery position not far away: "Fire quickly..."

"Concentrate all artillery fire against the Eighth Route Army's counter-offensive forces."

"If they hide in the position, the mortar can't do anything to them."

"Leaving the position to launch a counterattack against us now is simply killing the mortar squadron."

"The opportunity must not be missed. The mortar squadron must take this opportunity to severely injure the Eighth Route Army's counter-offensive troops."

"The attacking troops and the turning troops continued to charge forward, strangled together with the remnants of the Eighth Route Army, and ended the battle with bayonets."

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of mortar shell explosions quickly reached the chief of staff's ears, but there was no fire in the middle of the Eighth Route Army's counter-offensive troops, and the explosion sound came from behind instead.

He was so scared that he quickly turned his head to look at the mortar position.

Flames were everywhere, and several mortars were knocked over in the explosion, and the gunners were blown away.

More gunners scurried about under the fire, dodging the shelling.

"Boom boom boom..."

Mortars are famous for their fast rate of fire. The chief of staff has not yet reacted from the sudden accident, and the second round of shells has already followed.

More and more artillery and gunners were blown up.

"Report to the chief of staff, it is the mortars equipped by the Eighth Route Army that will launch a counterattack against us..." The artillery staff was very anxious to express his judgment.

"They equipped a lot of mortars themselves, and they seized several of our mortars on the battlefield. A total of [-] mortars attacked our artillery positions."

"It's over..."

The Chief of Staff's face turned pale, and he cried out in despair.

"Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army is coming towards us..." a lieutenant suddenly called out.

The frontal attack force had two squadrons with nearly 400 people, more than 100 people were killed by mountain artillery, most of the squadron was killed by six heavy machine guns, and more than 100 people were killed by forty or fifty light machine guns.

When the Eighth Route Army launched a counter-offensive, the total number of frontal offensive troops was only about a hundred.

Facing the offensive firepower from forty or fifty light machine guns, they had no power to fight back.

If they were not beaten into a sieve, they would lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, planning to wait for the Eighth Route Army to rush in and launch an attack with grenades, and both sides would perish.

But this little loss obviously did not affect the Eighth Route Army's offensive.

Hundreds of fighters were like a rainbow, and more than a hundred devils were killed in just one assault, and the counterattack force was divided into three.

Some troops chased and killed the devils, and some troops rushed towards the devils artillery position. About two platoons of troops rushed towards the position of the chief of staff.

Seeing that the chief of staff still looked desperate and didn't respond, the captain of the guard didn't care about 21 and [-], and ordered two soldiers to hold him and move to the back.

"Protection Chief of Staff transfer..."

"Go directly to the head of the division, the main force of the sweeping force is there, hurry up..."

…………

At the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, all kinds of good news were sent by correspondents like snowflakes.

"Report to the Deputy Chief of Staff..." The operator suddenly put down his earphones and turned to report to Huang Yu.

"Chief of Staff Wang Lin, who got into the Japanese army's pocket formation, successfully repelled the Japanese army's pursuit troops. A reinforced brigade was killed by them, and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized."

"They also seized the headquarters of the Japanese army's divisions during the operation, destroyed the Japanese army's command system, and seized a large number of radio stations."

"But the head of the devil division and the chief of staff are not at the headquarters."

"Chief of Staff Wang Lin asked the main force to encircle the encirclement, and don't let them slip away from our noses."

"Chief of Staff Wang Lin wants to continue making troubles in the stomach of the Japanese army. The next raid target is the remaining Japanese artillery units. Please contact the artillery to ask them to suspend their attack on the Japanese artillery units, and leave the rest of the battle to them."

"Yes..." Huang Yu blurted out without thinking.

"Continue to let the artillery blow up. The dozens of guns that the Japanese army finally stepped into our base area were blown up by them."

"Maybe Wang Lin can capture a few cannons."

"The head of the devil division and the chief of staff are no longer in the headquarters, and [-]% of them are on the front line to supervise the battle."

"Contact all the frontal main attacking troops. Maybe one of their targets is the head of the devil division."

"Attack is offensive. I must secure the pocket formation. I must not let the Japanese division commander slip away from our noses."

"I want to keep all the mopping-up troops in the middle of the Devils in the base area, let Neiji Okamura suffer another blow in our hands, and consume the mobile forces of the Japanese army in North China by the way, so as to reduce the pressure on our next operation."

Next to it, Liu Sen interrupted suddenly: "We attacked the first line of defense of the Japanese army and wiped out more than 400 devils. Chief of Staff Wang Lin rampaged in the stomach of the Japanese army, broke through several positions of the devils in a row, and wiped out more than 1000 devils before and after."

"The artillery unit is not a vegetarian either. After fighting for so long, they have killed hundreds of Japanese troops no matter what."

"We have at most [-] Kwantung troops left in our pocket formation."

"We lost less than 500 people, and the total force is still more than 9000, a full three to one force advantage."

"The advantages of firepower and terrain are also in our hands."

"We will win the next decisive battle."

"We must remind the participating troops: try to give full play to the advantage of firepower on the way of attack, and resolutely use light and heavy machine guns if you can use artillery, and end the battle with the minimum cost."

Huang Yu nodded: "By the way, I would like to mention it to the group leaders."

"The Japanese army in our encirclement is just the mopping up troops that Neiji Okamura prepared for us."

"Mancheng and Wangdu each have a sweeping force."

"After this battle is over, we may still have a big battle to fight."

"If the troops suffer too many casualties in the next battle, they can only serve as a reserve team in the battle to attack the left and right sweeping troops of the Japanese army."

Liu Sen replied with a smile: "It's still Xiao Huang, your trick is better..."

"The following regiment leaders are all people who can't move their feet when they hear the war."

"As long as you let them know that there will be a big battle going on, they will definitely do everything possible to control the casualties."

After telling the combat staff officer and the correspondent to give orders, Liu Sen followed up and asked, "Xiao Huang, are you really planning to eat devils and wipe out the troops all the way."

"If it is done, Neiji Okamura will definitely be mad."

Huang Yu nodded: "It's not just me, we both Captain Kong and Captain Li want to fight."

"But fighting a war is not something we wishful thinking. If Neji Okamura doesn't do his best and is a coward, it's useless for us to think about fighting a war."
