The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The captain of the Japanese army had just run two or 300 meters after arranging the artillery, when the violent explosion reached his ears again.

Looking back, I saw that the artillery position I had just set up was flooded by artillery fire.

The entire face was quickly enveloped in anger, and a mouthful of blood almost spewed out from his mouth.

He has been fighting for so many years and has never felt so aggrieved as he does today, especially on the Chinese battlefield.

In the past, in wars, the Eighth Route Army was suppressed by artillery fire.

Now it is the Eighth Route Army that is pressing down on itself with artillery fire.

The rear-guard troops staying behind were covered by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army as soon as they took action. They didn't even have a chance to engage in a close encounter with their attacking troops. How to fight this kind of battle?
For the first time, the captain tasted the feeling of being bombed on the battlefield.

I feel very uncomfortable and helpless.

Facing the powerful artillery superiority of the Eighth Route Army, he was at a loss what to do. He panicked for a while and didn't think of a way to break the situation for a long time.

"Rumble..."

The roar of the chariot reached the ears of the regiment commander above the sound of gunfire, and a row of vehicle lights immediately shined on the retreating team.

Wherever the headlights are, bullets will fly.

Dozens of soldiers are like ripe wheat, harvested by the rain of bullets in pieces.

"Captain..." the chief of staff said anxiously with a mournful face.

"I can't go on being beaten passively like this..."

"The firepower of the chariot is too strong, and the advantage of artillery fire is also in the hands of the Eighth Route Army..."

"Continue to run like this..."

"All of us will be killed on the way out..."

The captain of the alliance was immediately stopped by his subordinate's words.

As a battle-tested veteran, he knows his current situation better than anyone.

But the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and he couldn't think of any other way to break the situation except retreat.

As for offense.

It's not that he didn't do it after the army was attacked, but the result was even worse.

The Eighth Route Army's aid troops not only have tanks, but also a large number of infantry to cooperate in the battle.

They follow the tanks and armored vehicles, ready to launch an assault over the tanks at any time, and at the same time undertake the task of protecting the tanks.

To counterattack and destroy tanks under the noses of so many Eighth Route Army troops is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Divide troops to break through and retreat..."

At this moment, a flash of light flashed in the captain's mind, and these words suddenly popped up.

Then his eyes lit up and he said with excitement.

"Yes...just do it..."

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked us only had a dozen or so tanks. After we divided our forces, they would naturally divide their forces to chase us down."

"But they don't have as many troops as us, and the number of chariots is very limited. There will definitely be a large number of troops who will take the opportunity to get rid of the pursuit and withdraw from the battlefield."

"[-]% of the outcome of the concentrated retreat of the troops is the destruction of the entire army."

"Divide the troops to break through and retreat, at least [-] to [-]% of the soldiers will survive..."

"Order……"

"The troops immediately retreat in units of infantry squads, and leave the battlefield as soon as possible!"

Half an hour later, the firefight on the battlefield stopped completely.

Li Yunlong went straight to the Japanese Tank Squadron and the Mountain Artillery Brigade without saying a word.

Tonight's bloody battle made him further realize the powerful role of tanks and artillery on the battlefield.

Although it is impossible for the independent brigade to form a tank unit, the independent brigade is part of the Sixth Army Division.

If the tank battalion under the divisional special regiment is getting stronger and stronger, and if there is any battle in the future, the special regiment will send tank troops over to support itself like this tonight.

Not to mention artillery...

From the very beginning of the battle, the bombs overwhelmed the Japanese troops, leaving them helpless.

The previously invincible three-dagger attack method on the battlefield also lost its power due to insufficient artillery.

Although the field artillery battalion directly under the brigade is equipped with twelve field guns, the power of the salvo is already very powerful.

However, if another field artillery company can be assembled for the field artillery battalion, and the number of field artillery equipped by the field artillery battalion can be increased to sixteen, the overall combat effectiveness of the field artillery battalion will definitely be greatly improved.

"Deputy Commander..." The chief of staff, who arrived here first, said with a smile on his face as if he had eaten candied fruit.

"The Japanese tank squadron is equipped with twelve tanks and armored vehicles... minus those destroyed by artillery, there are two tanks and one armored vehicle..."

"I asked the comrades in the chariot battalion to check, and they are all intact...you can go to the battlefield when you start it."

"Japanese Artillery Battalion Under Mortar Attack."

"Mortar shells have little power and mainly kill people with fragments. It is difficult to destroy fortifications and artillery..."

"A total of eight mountain cannons and four field cannons..."

"Except for one mountain cannon that was destroyed in an accident, the remaining eleven cannons are all intact."

"Ha ha……"

Li Yunlong's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: "I, Li Yunlong, finally won a big victory..."

"Pass my order..."

"The troops immediately cleaned up the battlefield...take away all the weapons, ammunition and bullet casings that can be taken away."

…………

Japanese Baoding Garrison Headquarters.

Okamura Neji didn't feel sleepy at all and insisted on staying in the war room waiting for news.

He didn't pay much attention to the petty fights of the Eighth Route Army during the day.

The number of troops participating in the siege of the iron wall is not much less than [-].

Although there were more than a dozen Eighth Route Army sneak attacks on the blockade during the day, each sneak attack could only kill dozens of Imperial Army and Imperial Association Army.

In the face of tens of thousands of elites, two vellus hairs will be pulled out in front of tens of thousands of elites, and the overall combat effectiveness of the troops will not be affected at all.

Tonight's night raid was different.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to eat a strengthened wing of its own.

If they really let their plan succeed, the iron wall encirclement that they have worked so hard to create will be torn open, and a big gap will appear...

In case the troops of the sixth division in the wing escape the encirclement from the breach.

Or a part of the troops will fight from the breakthrough to the encircled troops, and cooperate with the troops in the encirclement to attack the participating troops back and forth, then the North China Front Army will suffer a lot of losses in the future.

That's why he didn't feel sleepy at all, and insisted on waiting in the war room for news.

"Your Excellency, Commander..." The communications staff officer suddenly rushed towards Okamura Neji in a panic.

"Our radio contact with the Huji garrison has been cut off..."

"Have all the stations equipped by them called?" Ningji Gangmura asked anxiously with a bad premonition flashing through his mind.

"We've all called..." The communications officer nodded quickly.

"None of the radio stations responded... I'm worried they've had an accident."

The deputy chief of staff suddenly interrupted: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The humble job feels that it is almost inseparable..."

"The Huji garrison did not all gather together, and two of the brigades were stationed on the blockade."

"Even if the radio station equipped by the wing headquarters does have an accident during the battle, it is impossible for the two radio stations stationed at the blockade to have an accident at the same time..."

Neji Gangmura did not answer the call, staring at the communications staff officer and asked, "Where are the reinforcements?"

"Where are the three closest main wings to them..."

"An hour has passed..."

"No matter how slow the reinforcements run, they should enter the Huji garrison defense zone..."

"Contact them immediately via the radio and ask about the actual situation on the battlefield..."
