Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

The DeBuff of Dark Night is effective for both sides, so the fight at night is not as intense as it is portrayed in TV dramas.

After the first row opened fire, Kong Jie immediately led his men to the battlefield at the fastest speed. Several machine guns concentrated their firepower and fired mercilessly, quickly repelling the Japs' tentative attack.

Perhaps because of the excessive firepower, the Japanese made a misjudgment. The Japanese did not dare to deploy a large number of troops to attack all night, but sent small forces to infiltrate along the front line.

Kong Jie was naturally not polite. Seeing that the Japanese did not make any big moves, he ordered the first battalion to deploy quickly and enter the blocking position according to the original plan.

The Iron Triangle has its own characteristics in combat: Ding Wei has a strategic vision and is not restricted to one place when commanding, so he is the one who is most willing to invest. Kong Jie is famous for his honesty, solid foundation, strong learning ability, and should be the strongest among the three in positional warfare.

As for Li Yunlong... Li Yunlong in this world line has been greatly affected. In the past, this guy had many tricks and could often surprise the enemy. He would not fight a battle without captured spoils. Now he has gradually let go and no longer cares about battlefield spoils. He is concentrating on studying new tactics that are suitable for the existing firepower, and has begun to deviate from his personal style.

The independent regiment was naturally influenced by Kong Jie and performed outstandingly in positional warfare. Taking advantage of the night, the squad leaders took the initiative to command: some soldiers began close operations, digging individual bunkers and machine gun bunkers; the other part of the soldiers directly advanced more than 100 meters, retreating while laying mines, quickly creating a large minefield.

This preparation caused great suffering to the Japanese infiltration troops. The sounds of mine explosions and gunfire filled the entire night. According to Kong Jie's own estimate, the Japanese suffered at least 60 casualties that night.

Of course, the independent regiment was not without casualties. One Japanese squad was very quick and ran into the mine-laying team. All five soldiers who were laying mines were killed, and the last soldier directly detonated the explosive box, taking several Japanese soldiers with him.

It was not until dawn that the captain of the Third Battalion of the Japanese waved his hand and ordered the troops to start the formal attack. But at this time, the backup of the independent regiment was already in place.

In the waist-deep trench, Kong Jie held a telescope and observed the enemy's deployment. Behind the trench, two people crouched down and one rolled into the trench.

One night was still too short. The soldiers' trenches were not perfect, and there were few communication trenches. The one Kong Jie was in was just a few foxholes connected together. Although it was far away from the front line, it was not very safe. Tactical actions were still required to enter and exit in case of accidents.

"Lao Kong, the brigade commander said we only need to delay for a day. A local regiment on the flank will help distract the enemy, and the division will send another regiment to support us. What's the situation now?"

Kong Jie sat back in the trench and looked at the newcomer: "The situation is not bad. The Japanese have only mobilized one battalion of troops so far. I can hold on for a few hours. But the trench is not good. It is close to the main road. Once the Japanese go crazy, the casualties will be huge."

"Old Li, how are the preparations at the back? I can withstand two or three attacks here, and I will definitely have to retreat."

Political Commissar Li Wenying nodded, flipped through the map and pointed to Kong Jie: "The second and third battalions are nearby now. Give us another three hours and the position will be ready. Also, remember to retreat from the south. There is a minefield in front of the position. Don't go in."

Kong Jie was relieved to see that the political commissar had made arrangements. He was about to say something when a sound came from the sky, which made his hair stand on end. The information he had seen at the brigade headquarters not long ago immediately came to his mind.

The Japanese Type 200 infantry guns usually do not have whistles on their shells, so there is no whistling sound. But the initial velocity of m/s is enough for veterans to hear the sound of the shells and dodge... "Type infantry guns!"

This kind of artillery is basically equipped in the Japanese battalion, and it is not the first time for everyone to encounter it. Kong Jie shouted loudly, and then pushed the political commissar beside him into the trench. Almost at the same time, a shell exploded on the side of the trench. The 70mm caliber and nearly eight kilograms of shells are not small in power. The explosion made the ears of several people in the trench hurt.

Kong Jie felt a little cold on his head. He reached out and touched his head. His military cap was crooked, and there was also a warm and sticky feeling. Li Wenying, who was standing next to him, shook her head, raised her head and looked at Kong Jie, and then her pupils immediately dilated.

"Lao Kong, you..."

Li Wenying took off Kong Jie's military cap, held Kong Jie's head and looked at it carefully for two seconds, then let go and leaned back into the trench and breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn it, I was scared to death, luckily it's just a small cut..."

"What bad luck! I got hurt just at the beginning." Kong Jie looked at the military cap that Li Wenying had dropped. It was probably the shrapnel that cut the military cap and scratched his scalp.

While the two were talking, several more shells were fired at the location where someone had just appeared. Then a squadron of Japanese soldiers dispersed, some moved, and some suppressed the fire, moving forward alternately and pressing towards the position.

"The Japanese attack has begun, Lao Li, go back and prepare."

Kong Jie waved to the political commissar and continued to observe the battlefield through the telescope. Li Wenying didn't waste any words, climbed out of the trench and ran quickly to the rear.

Perhaps the losses last night were too great and the Japanese wanted to retaliate; or perhaps this was the fighting style of the Sakata Regiment, the battle was very fierce from the beginning.

One Type 92 infantry gun fired continuously, two Type 92 heavy machine guns fired at long range, and the attacking Japanese squadron also divided the Type 92 rifles into two groups to fire in turns, always maintaining fire suppression. Although the soldiers of the independent regiment were not bad, facing such firepower, they could only let the Japanese infantry advance and rushed into the 100 meters without any loss.

The situation within 100 meters was also not optimistic. The trenches dug overnight were not good enough, not deep enough, not wide enough, and with few communication trenches connecting them. The range and speed of movement of the soldiers were greatly affected. Many soldiers could not move immediately after looking out, and were pinned to the spot by the enemy's firepower, and it took them half a day to escape.

Another shell fell, raising a large cloud of dust. A nearby medical worker took the opportunity to climb into the trench. Kong Jie put down his binoculars and asked the medical worker to stop the bleeding and bandage him.

Although the situation was unfavorable, Kong Jie was not anxious at all. It was not the first time that he was suppressed. When fighting with the devils, when could he gain an advantage in firepower?

boom!
A landmine exploded in the distance, and the nearby Japanese soldiers stopped and crouched. The rhythm of the attack was interrupted for the first time.

"Ninety meters, special shooters, open fire freely!" a platoon leader shouted to the soldiers in the trenches. (End of this chapter)
