Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 241 The Independent Battalion Shows the Enemy Weakness and Achieves Miraculous Effects
Kazuki Yamamoto commanded the 22nd Infantry Regiment and the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment to work step by step, using the powerful suppressive force of artillery firepower and machine gun firepower to compress the position space of the independent battalion little by little.

At this time, the communications soldier hurried over and reported to Kazuki Yamamoto: "Captain, the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army has just received an urgent call, saying that the Eighth Route Army has launched a general attack on them, and the other side has also used chemical weapons. The casualties are huge, and I may not be able to last for too long, please provide tactical guidance immediately."

"Ba Ga! What a bunch of useless trash!"

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army had chemical weapons. In his opinion, it was just Kazuo Watanabe making excuses for his incompetence. The Independent Battalion on the top of the hill said unwillingly: "Order the Black Island Cavalry Regiment to immediately stop the attack on this Eighth Route Army, and quickly go to Huluxia to reinforce the 9th Brigade!"

"Order the 22nd Regiment of the Infantry to leave a brigade to restrain the Chinese army above Jiangjunling, and the rest of the imperial army will immediately bypass the blocking line of this Chinese army and head to Jiangjunling together!"

Under the powerful offensive of the two regiments of the Japanese army, the blocking line of the independent battalion had already been torn open.

The reason why Kazuki Yamamoto did not directly lead the army to gourd gorge was because he was afraid that the independent battalion on Jiangjunling would cut off his way.

After all, he did not know how many troops the Eighth Route Army dispatched to encircle and wipe out the 9th Brigade.

Leaving a brigade of troops at Jiangjunling now is not to destroy the independent battalion, but to contain it.

"Hi Yi!"

The orderly nodded heavily, then quickly turned around and left to convey the order.

Kazuki Yamamoto directed to the communication soldier in front of him again: "Immediately call back the 9th Brigade, saying that our reinforcements will arrive soon, let them hold on, and try not to break through before we arrive at Hulu Gorge! "

The communications soldier said with a look of embarrassment: "Captain, after the 9th Brigade sent us a telegram for help, it lost contact."

Kazuki Yamamoto's Furui Wubo's face changed slightly: "Baga! Can't contact the 9th Brigade again?"

"Hi Yi!" The communications soldier nodded heavily, and then explained: "The captain doesn't have to worry, the signal in Huluxia is very poor, send the telegram to a location with a signal, these locations are generally places with a wide view, and it is easy to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army." s attack.

Therefore, it is not necessarily that the 9th Brigade is in danger. It may be that their radio station was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, or that their signal soldiers returned to the position where there was no signal after sending the telegram. "

"Fuck!"

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded, and then walked towards the front battlefield.

To reinforce the 9th Brigade, he needs to personally command it.

After receiving the order, the devils of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment immediately stopped attacking, turned back down the mountain, mounted their horses, and rushed towards the Hulu Gorge.

On Jiangjun Ridge, Wang Chengzhu had a panoramic view of this scene.

The Second Company Commander Tian Shuisheng said in surprise: "Battle Commander, looking at the previous offensive of the little devils, they clearly wanted to put us to death, but now they clearly have the upper hand, but why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?"

Wang Chengzhu looked away from the direction where the Black Island Cavalry Regiment left, and analyzed: "The little devil left so impatiently, it must be that the head of the regiment launched an attack on the 9th Brigade, and achieved very good results."

Tian Shuisheng: "Battle Commander, what should we do now?"

Wang Chengzhu: "The devil's cavalry unit has a total of more than a thousand people, and they don't carry any heavy weapons, so there is nothing to worry about."

"If nothing else happens, our reinforcements, the 772nd and 771st regiments, are already on their way, and they might encounter this devil cavalry soon.

The 772nd Regiment and the 771st Regiment are both the main regiments of our Eighth Route Army, and their combat effectiveness is not much weaker than that of our Xinyi Regiment. It is not difficult for them to defeat this devil's cavalry unit, and it is even possible to wipe it out. "

"We just need to intercept the devil infantry at the foot of the mountain and prevent them from breaking through our blocking line."

Tian Shuisheng: "You mean, the devil infantry at the foot of the mountain will abandon us and go to Huluxia to reinforce the 9th Brigade."

Wang Chengzhu: "Of course, we know that this cavalry unit alone can't turn up too much trouble, and the little devil must know this too."

"Give the order quickly!"

"Yes!"

Tian Shuisheng promised, and then quickly ran away with his back bent.

Soon, most of the devil infantry attacking in front of Jiangjun Ridge withdrew, and then along the torn hole, they were about to cross Jiangjun Ridge and head towards Huluxia.

On Jiangjun Ridge, Tian Shuisheng, who had delivered the order and turned back, saw this scene, and said to Wang Chengzhu who was beside him: "Battalion Commander, you really hit the spot!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Have you delivered all the orders?"

Tian Shuisheng: "The transmission is over!"

"very good!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded, and when the devil's main force was about to pass through Jiangjunling, he fired the signal gun fiercely.

"call out!"

The gunshot rang out, and an orange-red signal bomb came out of the chamber immediately, flying to an altitude of tens of meters before exploding violently.

The signal gun was the order, and the soldiers of the artillery company, which had already been prepared, immediately stuffed the grenades into the barrels of the grenades and mortars.

"Tom!"

"Tom tom tom tom!—"

The shells came out of their chambers and landed on the road below the mountain, exploding like flowers everywhere, blasting the road surface into craters.

The devils near the explosion point were directly blown away by the explosion shock wave, bloody stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

At the same time, the machine gunners of the Independence Battalion opened fire one after another.

"Tut, chug, da da da!..."

Although many little devils escaped the bombardment of the grenades, they did not escape the strafing of the machine guns, and a large area fell down in a blink of an eye.

"Conceal, conceal, hurry and conceal!"

The little devils of the 22nd Regiment reacted very quickly. Almost as soon as they were attacked, they immediately dispersed, each looking for a bunker to avoid.

Then the machine gunners set up machine guns one after another to suppress the firepower points of the machine guns on the mountain, and the ghosts of the grenadier team also set up grenade launchers one after another to counterattack the firepower points on the mountain.

Seeing this scene, Kazuki Yamamoto in the rear suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Baga! These goddamn Chinese Tubalu, they actually hide their strength!"

Of course, Wang Chengzhu was hiding his strength, and the reason was very simple. Their task was to hold back the reinforcements of the Japanese army and buy enough time for the main force to destroy the Japanese 9th Brigade, not to destroy the reinforcements of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was not in a hurry to break through, but wanted to destroy the independent battalion. Naturally, Wang Chengzhu didn't need to reveal his full strength.

Showing the enemy's weakness has achieved miraculous results at this time.

At this time, Kasahara Koizumi, the commander of the 22nd Japanese Infantry Regiment, ran over in a hurry: "Yamamoto-kun, what should we do now?"
