The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 861 Li Yunlong's Greedy Eyes (Part [-])
In the simple headquarters of the Hashimoto Brigade, Major General Hashimoto was writing and drawing on a spread out map, raising his head from time to time to issue military orders to the staff around him.

"A reinforced squadron is to be arranged here..."

Major General Hashimoto pointed to the arc he had just drawn on the map and said: "Strengthen three heavy machine guns and three mortars... Without my order, no one can retreat until the end of the battle."

A combat staff officer heard the sound, turned around and rushed out of the headquarters.

Major General Hashimoto pointed to a point on the map without raising his head, and continued to order: "There is a high ground here..."

"Although it is only a dozen meters high, it is the highest point within a few hundred meters and must be guarded."

"If one squadron is not enough, two squadrons will be arranged, and two mountain artillery squadrons will be specially dispatched to provide them with artillery support."

"As long as the high ground is not lost, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to reach the headquarters..."

Another combat staff officer rushed out of the headquarters in a hurry.

Just as Major General Hashimoto was about to continue giving orders, the radio operator suddenly ran towards him: "Brigade Commander...Your Excellency Commander is urgent."

"Let's split up and break through immediately..."

"Don't stick around any longer."

"The sweeping troops on the right have withdrawn from the Eighth Route Army's central wing base, and it is impossible to return to the battlefield to rescue us."

"The Hashimoto brigade can only fight out of the wings by themselves."

"Nani..." Major General Hashimoto's face was full of disbelief.

The Eighth Route Army was everywhere around, and the Hashimoto Brigade gathered troops to stand by and wait for help. Even if the entire army died in battle, it could wipe out thousands of Eighth Route Army.

Once the troops are divided to break through, the Eighth Route Army will be able to defeat each of them and wipe out the Hashimoto brigade at a small cost.

Even if some troops successfully broke through, there were very few of them.

It's better to stay here and fight the Eighth Route Army.

Major General Hashimoto took the telegram and read it twice before he believed what the operator said, but he didn't understand why the commander asked them to do this.

They are all dead anyway, why not let them kill a few more Eighth Route Army before they die.

The chief of staff of the brigade did not understand at first.

Since the Hashimoto brigade is bound to die, as the commander, Neiji Okamura must maximize his interests and ask the Hashimoto brigade to pull a few backs before he dies, and strive to further damage the Yizhong Eighth Route Army for the next sweep of the North China Front Army Lay the foundation in the base of the wing.

As a result, Neiji Okamura did the opposite, which is too strange.

But soon he figured it out, and looked at the Hashimoto Brigade and explained in a low voice: "General, Your Excellency, Commander, wants to keep the Hashimoto Brigade as an organization."

"If the entire Hashimoto brigade is wiped out here and no one escapes back to Baoding, the troops will simply be gone."

"But as long as someone successfully breaks out, escapes back to Baoding, and takes the military flag back, the Kwantung Army Command can rebuild its troops."

Major General Hashimoto understood everything, and after thinking for a while, he made a decision: "It is really important to keep the military flag and bring him back to Baoding."

"But there's no need to break out now."

"Let's defend to the death first, and then look for opportunities to break through, and eliminate as many Eighth Route Army as possible."

…………

"Dong dong dong..."

A heavy machine gun suddenly appeared right in front of the team. The dazzling tongue of flame was two feet long. The rain of bullets swept towards the attacking troops in a fan shape, and the first four or five soldiers fell to the ground.

Li Yunlong took advantage of the situation and threw himself on the ground, holding up the box cannon and ordered loudly: "Machine gun cover..."

"Mortar fire, knock out the firepower of the devil's heavy machine gun for me, hurry up..."

"Da da da……"

The few attacking troops with the team rushed to join the battle immediately, instantly attracting the attention of the Japanese heavy machine gunners.

Several gunners took the opportunity to set up the mortar.

Quickly adjust the shooting elements after simple aiming.

"boom……"

The sound of an explosion soon sounded in front of the team. Unfortunately, the point of impact was more than 20 meters away, and the heavy machine gun blocking the way continued to fire.

"Boom..."

Two more shells exploded, one left and one right next to the heavy machine gun.

The roaring heavy machine gun instantly misfired.

"Rush forward, use grenades to eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and kill them all with me..."

Li Yunlong was also red-eyed, jumped up from the ground, and rushed forward holding the box cannon, giving orders as he ran.

"Boom boom boom..."

A few grenades quickly smashed into the firepower of the Devil's heavy machine gun, and several machine gunners who were injured by the shells were completely silent.

Li Yunlong didn't stop his feet, glanced at the corpse on the ground and continued to rush forward.

"Captain Li..."

A very familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Li Yunlong, and when he turned around, he saw Duan Peng chasing him with several people.

"Duan Peng... Aren't you following Xiao Huang, why did you come here?"

"Our head asked me to come here." Duan Peng reported while panting.

"The rear artillery is ready to fire."

"I brought a step-by-step radio station. Commander Li can use the radio station to call for artillery support at any time."

Li Yunlong had long been envious of the dozens of mountain cannons in Huang Yu's hands, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he asked with anticipation, "How many cannons are there in total?"

"The 42 mountain artillery are ready for battle and can be fired at any time."

"The remaining 30 mountain artillery are still building artillery positions, and they can join the battle in 10 minutes."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong became even more excited, and immediately ordered: "It's great for you to come."

"I'm worried that I won't be able to break through the little devil's main position. With these cannons, no matter how hard the little devil's tortoise shell is, we can smash it to pieces."

After speaking, he pointed to the main position of the Japanese army 500 meters ahead and ordered: "Did you see the little devil's defense line in front?"

"Concentrate all the mountain artillery and bombard me for 5 minutes, and fire now."

"I led the troops to continue to charge forward, and this time just hit the front of the defense line."

"As soon as the shelling stopped, I launched a surprise attack, fighting for an attack to disintegrate and disintegrate the defense line of the little devils, and give them a hard blow to the dogs in the water."

The defense line Li Yunlong saw was temporarily built by Major General Hashimoto relying on the high ground. There were two squadrons on the high ground, and one squadron on each side of the high ground to prevent the Eighth Route Army from outflanking.

As a result, they were targeted by more than 40 mountain artillery before they saw the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The rain of shells hit the high ground steadily with a howling sound, the flames splashed, and countless little devils were blown away in the explosion.

The violent explosion was like thunder, and it reached Major General Hashimoto's ears at the same time.

Throwing down the pencil in his hand, he ran towards the lookout, raised the binoculars, and happened to see a scene of a heavy machine gun team being blown up on the high ground.

"Not good..." the chief of staff of the brigade exclaimed.

"General, the high ground is being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery. They are preparing at least forty mountain artillery to launch an attack. Our troops don't even have trenches to hide in. They are all exposed to the ground. They will definitely not be able to withstand such fierce artillery fire. We must act early. Intend."

"Whether to defend or break out, you must make a decision as soon as possible."
