The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 994: The Eighth Route Army found another way (first update)
The deputy captain pulled out his command knife with a "swish..." sound, and his whole body felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. His eyes flashed and he ordered: "The offensive troops take advantage of the chaos and charge forward."

"The Eighth Route Army blocking the road in front is in chaos. We just happened to break through their blocking position. We will pursue the victory, recapture the blockade, and kill them..."

As soon as the deputy captain gave the order, the attacking troops roared and rushed towards the battlefield without any hesitation.

Just as the attacking troops were about to rush to the Eighth Route Army's blocking position, the machine gun fire on the blocking position suddenly tripled. The soldiers in the first two rows of the attacking troops were swept to the ground one by one like ripe wheat.

"Boom boom boom..."

The familiar sound of shell explosions reached the deputy captain's ears at the same time.

Unfortunately, these shells were not fired by the artillery units under his command, and they did not hit the Eighth Route Army's blocking position.

It was the Eighth Route Army that came towards them.

Some of the artillery shells hit the middle of the attacking troops. In the dazzling firelight, each soldier was like a paper toy, being overturned and blown up in an instant.

Some of the shells hit the artillery position behind them, causing the six mortars of the artillery squadron to mute on the spot.

"Bageya Road... the enemy is showing weakness to us, and we have been fooled..." the Japanese vice-captain cried out, his face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in despair.

As soon as he finished speaking, the second round of artillery shells came one after another, and dozens more soldiers were killed and injured in the artillery fire.

Coupled with the casualties caused by frontal blocking fire to the attacking troops, a full squadron participating in the attack was disabled in less than one minute.

"Retreat..." The deputy captain quickly realized the dangerous situation he was facing and decided to save the troops as much as possible before talking about other things. He gave the order in a hurry.

"The attacking troops will withdraw from the battle immediately..."

"The entire army retreats 500 meters back and gets out of the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire coverage as quickly as possible..."

"Da da da……"

The familiar sound of machine gun fire suddenly sounded from the flank of the team. The vice-captain turned around and saw three tongues of fire heading toward him quickly.

"No..." I felt even more anxious and ordered immediately.

"We also have enemies on our flanks... The Eighth Route Army wants to annihilate us all here."

"Retreat immediately. Before the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation is closed, fight out immediately. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

"Boom boom boom... da da da..."

More and more light and heavy machine guns fired around the Japanese troops.

The vice-captain was so anxious that he had no time to curse. He led dozens of subordinates and began to flee for their lives. His legs ran very fast, fearing that he would be shot into pieces by bullets if he took a step slower.

Three of the six mortars equipped by the mortar squadron were snatched away, and the remaining three mortars were all destroyed.

The deputy captain ran for two minutes before rejoining the thirty or so remnants of the artillery squadron and continuing to retreat.

In the wilderness about 300 meters away from the road, there was also a troop moving simultaneously with the Japanese deputy captain.

They were the ninth company used by the battalion commander to outflank the little Japanese's retreat.

As a result, the Japanese deputy captain reacted too quickly. The Ninth Company began to retreat before the outflanking was in place. They could only run beside the road to compete with the Japanese for time.

It would be best to block the Japanese army's retreat.

If you really can't stop them, you can only attack the Japanese troops from the flanks. Killing as many as you can is better than letting them all escape.

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Independent Brigade.

The Japanese army's first blockade had been riddled with holes by the attacking troops and was almost useless.

Li Yunlong walked to the table to study the map for a while, and then walked to the command department and looked forward to it, very anxious.Although tonight's surprise battle involves the strong fighting the weak, the independent brigade will undoubtedly win.

But to be honest, Li Yunlong didn't know exactly how much results could be achieved.

"Rumble..."

The familiar sound of horse hooves finally reached the headquarters. Li Yunlong immediately looked away from the map, walked quickly to the entrance of the headquarters and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.

Two cavalry soldiers jumped off their horses and rushed towards him, panting and reporting.

"Chief..."

"The third regiment and the third battalion have successfully broken through the Japanese army's second blockade and are destroying the blockade ditch and blockade stronghold."

"They also deployed pocket formations between the Japanese second and third lines of defense during the operation, severely damaging the reinforcements sent to the battlefield by the third blockade."

"A total of nearly [-] Japanese troops were wiped out in the two battles and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized."

"Be prepared to quickly evacuate the battlefield with the loot after destroying the blockade ditch and blockade wall."

"Pah..." Li Yunlong slammed his clenched fist on the door frame and shouted loudly.

"The third battalion played very well."

"Not only did they successfully complete the raid mission assigned to them by the brigade headquarters, they also searched for fighter planes themselves, severely damaged the Japanese reinforcements, and killed hundreds more little Japs. What a great fight..."

"If other attacking troops were like them, they actively looked for fighter planes during the raid and severely damaged the Japanese reinforcements."

"Each assault force killed four hundred more little Japs, and all the assault forces added up to an entire infantry regiment..."

"Coupled with the results of our raid on the first and second lines of defense of the Japanese army, tonight we will eat two more regiments of little devils. We will definitely be so angry that Neji Okamura vomits blood on the spot."

"Go back and tell the third battalion commander: The Japanese army will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss at their hands. There are still several hours until dawn, so they must be more vigilant and don't get caught by the Japanese."

…………

Japanese Baoding Garrison Headquarters.

Okamura Neiji was awakened from his sleep by his subordinates.

He had been in a bad mood these past few days, and now that he hadn't slept well, he subconsciously prepared to vent his anger on his subordinates. However, as soon as the duty staff report came out, he became anxious and completely forgot about his intention to vent his anger by swearing at others.

He walked quickly to the sand table, stared at the first blockade that was riddled with holes, and asked: "Are you sure that our first blockade was really blasted with nine gaps by the Eighth Route Army? Each gap is at least 300 meters wide... …”

The staff officer on duty answered firmly: "The smallest gap is 300 meters wide."

"They used explosives to destroy the blockade wall and fill up the blockade ditch..."

"The Eighth Route Army is everywhere along the blockade."

"As long as they don't retreat for one minute, the gaps in the blockade will continue to increase."

"The second blockade was also attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the garrison stationed on the second blockade also suffered heavy losses."

"After the Eighth Route Army took over the blockade, they used explosives to destroy the blockade wall and fill up the blockade trench just like they did when they occupied the first blockade line."

"If they continue to do whatever they want on the blockade."

"In just one night, the two blockades we have worked so hard to build will be destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. Commander, please find a way to break the situation as soon as possible and save the two blockades. Otherwise, not only will the blockades built by our iron walls More will lead to less and less.”

"When there is only one blockade left on the front line of the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army in the Wing will be able to attack from both inside and outside and completely crush our iron wall encirclement."
