The father of the sword is Kong Jie

……

Kong Jie's deployment order was quickly conveyed to each unit through the detachment headquarters.

A team peripheral guerrilla area.

As far as the eye can see, at the foot of the vast mountain, a team of Japanese and puppet troops is walking in neat steps, approaching the farmland area in front of the guerrilla area of ​​a team.

This team is the eighth brigade of the Japanese Guichi Brigade and the Imperial Association Army, led by Yan Sanfu.

Just half an hour ago, Guichi received an order from the general headquarters to launch a general attack on the farmland area of ​​a detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, on the way to advance, find a way to contain the main force of the blocking Eighth Route Army, and wait for the main sweeping force in the rear to completely encircle the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the order, Guichi, the captain of the Devils Battalion, immediately ordered the whole army to move out.

At this time, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the puppet troops fighting in coordination played a role as cannon fodder.

"Mr. Sanfu, it's time to test whether you are loyal to the Great Japanese Empire. You can lead your team forward, and I will lead the main force of the brigade to support your Imperial Alliance Army at any time!"

Seeing Yan Sanfu's hesitation, Guichi finished his good words, then threatened him, his face darkened, and he asked in a bold voice:
"Why, Mr. Sanfu, are you going to disobey the orders of the Imperial Japanese Army?"

"Your Excellency Zhong Zuo was joking. The order I received this time from the Eighth Mixed Brigade is to assist Your Excellency Zhong Zuo in advancing the battle. Naturally, Your Excellency Zhong Zuo will lead the way!"

Yan Sanfu quickly replied, crying secretly in his heart, cursing these sons of bitches for being unkind, and using himself as cannon fodder.

The helpless Yan Sanfu had no choice but to lead his Imperial Association Army troops in front of the Guichi Brigade.

The distance between the two teams was nearly 500 meters.

Coupled with the undulating terrain of the mountains, the mountains and forests cover the fields, and the distance of 500 meters is enough to prevent the two troops from seeing each other.

The old ghost Guichi, who thought he had succeeded in his trickery, sent a communication unit to follow the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army and advance first.

Communicate with the rear brigade headquarters at any time through the communication corps.

... "Traveler, these little bastards are using us as cannon fodder again!"

After splitting up with the Japanese army, they were far away, Yan Sanfu's adjutant Wang Dacong cursed at Yan Sanfu's side.

Yan Sanfu, full of bitterness, said helplessly: "The little devil has always been such a pee, what can we do?"

"You're so clever, I'm just worried now. I've entered the base of a brigade of the Eighth Route Army right now. We know who Kong Shaved his head is like no one else."

"Remember that battle a year ago?
Speaking of it, it's all your fault for your bad idea. Let us take advantage of the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment to sneak attack on the flank of the independent regiment during the battle. "

"In the end, Kong Jie was angered. In a fit of anger, Kong shaved his head and pulled out more than a dozen cannons. Under the cover of firepower, he almost wiped out the entire Eighth Mixed Brigade..."

Saying that, Yan Sanfu couldn't help shivering.

Every time he thought of being bombarded by Kong Jie, he felt lingering fear.

Adjutant Wang Dacong was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, this is all in the past, Traveler, why are you bringing it up again?"

"But as soon as I mentioned that matter, I won't get angry... Okay, let's not talk about it, you quickly give me an idea how to deal with the current situation?"

Da Zhiming rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he took it to heart.

He replied: "Traveler, if you want to overcome the difficulties in front of you, the method is very simple, one word - procrastination!"

"drag?"

Wang Dacong nodded decisively:

"Yes, it's procrastination! This time, our Imperial Association Army and the Japanese Army came here to target the autumn harvest food of a detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and even divided them into multiple attacks.

But how could Kong Jie be easy to deal with?

I don't believe that a team of the Eighth Route Army will be unprepared for the Japanese army's raid on the autumn harvest.

But none of us know exactly what method Eighth Road has prepared to entrap the little devil.

At this time, isn't that just hitting the head of the bird with a gun!
Whichever advancing army is the fastest and falls into the trap of the Eight Routes first, it can only consider itself unlucky.

So we have to deliberately slow down, we can't be the first to fall into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, right?

When the news of the previous battle comes, we can at least understand what the Eighth Route is hiding. "

"It has to be you, my great cleverness!"

Suddenly regaining consciousness, Yan Sanfu nodded, and he very much appreciated the proposal of the adjutant Wang Dacong.

Just like that, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army played a game of delay, deliberately slowing down the progress.

The old ghost Guichi who followed up naturally quickly noticed the problem.

He couldn't help cursing: "Bastard, what the hell is this Yan Sanfu doing, why is he walking so slowly?
Communication soldier, go and urge Yan Sanfu to speed up his march!
Then the message came:

"Reporting to Your Excellency Zhong Zuo, according to the news from the former Imperial Association Army, they were worried that they would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army along the way, so they deliberately slowed down their pace and dispatched reconnaissance troops to investigate along the way in advance, which delayed their speed."

But how could Guichi believe these nonsense?
Having dealt with the puppet army a lot, he naturally understands the peeing nature of these guys.

I have always been the best at foreign work, and often work without effort.

Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, fear of hardship and difficulty.

I really count on them to deal with the Eighth Route Army, unless even sows can climb trees.

If it weren't for the consideration of maintaining the morale of the imperial association army who surrendered, Guichi would have wished to kill Yan Sanfu in one shot.

But right now is the time for employing people, so Guichi had no choice but to temporarily suppress his anger, and repeatedly sent people to urge the Imperial Association Army to speed up their march.

After Yan Sanfu received the news, he pretended to make the team speed up.

He just waited until the devil's messenger left, turned around and let the team slow down again.

In this way, the Japanese and puppet troops on the road in Kameda are the slowest among the Japanese and puppet troops advancing in multiple directions.

……

A team command.

The news ahead also came quickly.

"Old Kong, there are already nearly three Japanese brigades, plus several puppet regiments, approaching our front agricultural area.

Comrades from the local army and militia fought and retreated in accordance with the command of the headquarters, and gradually lured the little devil in. "

Kong Jie nodded, and after a little thought, he ordered:
"Proceed according to the original plan, and sing this big show well!

When the main force of the devils entered the farmland area, or even grabbed the farmland, they immediately launched an attack.

At the same time, the news was passed on to the main force of the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd regiments, so that they could start together to harvest crops in the rear of the Japanese army. "

"Okay!" Xu Guoan responded.

……

"Bastard, this damned Yan Sanfu, when this raid is over, I will kill him myself!"

The center line area advancing towards the agricultural area in front of a team, the direction of the Guichi brigade's advance, because of the slow progress, there is obviously a vacancy.

Guichi, who noticed that Yan Sanfu was deliberately delaying the speed, cursed again and again.

The brigade headquarters in several other directions had already received news that they were about to enter the farmland of the Eighth Route Army.

Guichi, who couldn't bear it anymore, led the guards all the way to the front of the Royal Association Army team in a rage, then took out his gun, put it directly on Yan Sanfu's head, and scolded:

"Yan Sanfu, you bastard, are you being a coward here?

If you don't move forward at full speed, I will shoot you now! "

Yan Sanfu, who had always been able to figure out the mind of the Japanese army, reckoned that Guichi's patience had basically been exhausted.

He hurriedly smiled and pushed away the gun that Guichi had put on his forehead, and said:

"Your Excellency Squadron, don't worry, I'll give you an order to speed up the advance, no, advance at full speed! Let me trot all the way to the farmland area of ​​the eighth road!"

"Taijun, before I was worried that the eight roads would be ambushed in the middle, so I searched more carefully, which delayed the speed a little bit, please forgive me!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Sanfu really issued a clear order to march at full speed.

The old devil Guichi held back his anger and gave up.

The Japanese and puppet troops that had been procrastinating were speeding up in vain.

After more than ten minutes...

A few kilometers away, in what seemed to be the farmland area in front of the Eighth Route Army, the sound of fighting suddenly broke out, mixed with the sound of guns and artillery, and the exchange of fire between the two sides was extremely intense.

"Taijun, it is the farmland area in front of the Eighth Route Army!"

Yan Sanfu's face changed slightly, and he spoke.

The fighting movement a few kilometers away was extremely violent, but the two sides were too far apart, and it was impossible to clear up the specific situation ahead.

"idiot!"

Guichi cursed loudly, and he didn't know whether he was scolding Yan Sanfu for deliberately delaying the pace of the march, or cursing the Eighth Route Army troops who ambushed the Japanese army ahead.

"Advance quickly!"

Guichi issued an order. He sensed the urgency of the battle ahead, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. He even ordered the elite Japanese army to serve as the vanguard and lead the follow-up Imperial Army to rush towards the front farmland area.

It took more than 20 minutes before and after.

The little devils from Guichi Brigade and the puppet troops from the Eighth Mixed Brigade finally arrived at the edge of the farmland area in front.

At this time, the terrain around the farmland is higher.

The old ghost Guichi and Yan Sanfu can already use the telescope to see clearly the situation in the battle area:

As far as the eye can see, there is a large area of ​​yellow farmland, and the stalks of a large number of corn are gently shaking in the wind.

In the fringe area of ​​these farmlands, Yan Sanfu also saw through the binoculars the bags of rich corn lumps growing on the straw.

Thinking of the aroma of the cooked corn, he couldn't help swallowing.

Just as the field of vision spreads

This has all changed...

The smoke from the artillery fire shrouded a large area of ​​farmland rather smokyly.

Under the impact of artillery fire and bullets, the originally neat straw has already appeared a large number of burned areas.

It was destroyed by the shock wave of the shell explosion, and the straw scattered on the ground can be seen everywhere.

Large tracts of cornfields are like the remnants of bread riddled with holes after being gnawed carelessly by countless mice.

What made Guichi and Yan Sanfu, the leader of the Devil's Battalion, even more horrified.

In addition to the stalks that were burned in large quantities, in the cornfield, under the entanglement of the stalks, there were messy, like loose sand, the corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground.

boom -

A few more shells were fired suddenly from an area hundreds of meters away from the cornfield, and then exploded in the cornfield.

With the faint wailing, two or three devils were torn apart in an instant amidst the sound of violent explosions.

The horrifying scene instantly brought Guichi and Yan Sanfu into reality.

Only then did the two realize that the battle in the farmland area was still going on.

The old devil Guichi raised the angle of the telescope upwards, and then saw a scene from the perspective of the telescope that he will never forget:
The previous artillery shells were fired from the rear of the farmland, and the dropped shells were even more powerful than the Type [-] infantry artillery.

It seemed to be shells fired by mechanical vehicles. Looking closely, it seemed to be some armored vehicles and tanks produced by his Empire of Japan, and even a few commonly used trucks.

Guichi couldn't be more familiar with those vehicles.

The first time I was confused, how could these vehicles fire such powerful shells?

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions sounded, breaking Guichi's hesitation.

One step ahead of the Guichi Brigade and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, the three Japanese brigades that entered the cornfield area, and the two regiments of the Imperial Association Army, are now in a bitter battle.

Shocking, scattered corpses of a large number of Japanese and puppet soldiers can be seen everywhere in the cornfields.

It is enough to prove that in this fierce confrontation, the three Japanese brigades and two puppet regiments that rushed into the cornfield suffered heavy blows.

With the blowing of the steep autumn wind, the gunpowder smoke covering the cornfield dissipated a little, and the field of vision became wider.

Guichi and Yan Sanfu then saw... saw more horrifying corpses.

Without exception, all of them were the corpses of Japanese soldiers or puppet soldiers.

The large number of bomb craters in the cornfield proves that during the previous fierce confrontation, the Japanese and puppet troops who entered the cornfield area were violently bombarded by the Eighth Route Army troops.

The only remaining Japanese and puppet troops on the battlefield were fighting tenaciously with the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

But from Yan Sanfu's point of view, it was more like fighting a trapped beast!

It may only be a matter of time before these devils and puppet troops are completely wiped out!
Probably after the investigation, Yan Sanfu had an approximate figure in his heart:

There are less than 2000 troops left!

Instantly realizing what this meant, Yan Sanfu couldn't help but gasped, the chill came from the bottom of his heart.

From the sudden outbreak of the previous battle and the sound of fierce guns, Yan Sanfu and his party arrived quickly.

It was only about 20 minutes before and after.

The three Japanese brigades that originally entered the cornfield area, plus two imperial association corps, exceeded [-] Japanese puppet troops.

In these more than 20 minutes, more than 3000 people evaporated.

What the hell is this killing speed? ? ?

This made Yan Sanfu instantly think of the scene where his [-]th Mixed Brigade was nearly wiped out by artillery fire because of angering Kong, who shaved his head.

"It must be Kong's way of shaving his head!!!"

Panicked, Yan Sanfu, who is the commanding officer of the [-]th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army and has thousands of puppet troops under his command, is actually fighting between two forces at the moment. If it wasn't for the old ghost Guichi who was standing beside him, he wished he could run away .

The vast and flat large area of ​​cornfield.

The artillery fire was raging.

The offensive of the Eighth Route Army troops became more and more fierce.

Dozens of artillery pieces, including Type 75 infantry artillery, Jin-made 2mm mountain artillery, American-made [-]mm mountain artillery, American M[-] [-]-point mortar...

Continue to bombard the Japanese and puppet troops who were completely defeated by artillery fire and fled in all directions.

In the chilly autumn wind, the excited shouts of the howitzers were faintly mixed, "One hundred more quick shots!"

Corresponding to this was the voice of Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the First Artillery Battalion: "Increase the elevation angle of the infantry artillery by three, and fire fifty rounds in a hurry. Cut off the devil's retreat!"

This is the first elite artillery combat company of the two major artillery battalions of the Eighth Route Army, and they are competing to fire.

In addition to these immovable artillery, there are more than a dozen artillery teams, using smaller-caliber artillery to supplement firepower during the rapid advancement of the artillery squad.

More meticulously wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in the cornfield.

Two cavalry tanks, plus four armored vehicles and three military vehicles, equipped with additional 75mm howitzers, fired from the edge of the cornfield at full speed, and the wings were rounded.

Accompanied by the constant bombardment of 75mm howitzers.

The devils and puppet soldiers who bombed the cornfields were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.

The follow-up support artillery with high-speed mobility shows its power to the fullest on the current battlefield.

According to Yan Sanfu's rough estimate, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops, who were already less than 2000, continued to spread rapidly.

As for the nine mobile vehicles equipped with 75mm howitzers, the direction of impact at this moment is the Guichi Brigade and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army who are rushing to follow up...
