The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1229 The autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves (second update)

"Captain...your artillery fire cover is useful..." the captain said with a surprised look on his face.

Mortar shells rained down on the tank in the middle of the torrent, and the thick smoke quickly enveloped the tank.

The armored soldiers wrapped in steel were unable to see the rapidly approaching suicide squads through the smoke. They could only shoot blindly in front of the tank. The accuracy was greatly reduced, and the survival rate of the suicide squads on the battlefield actually increased.

When we were still thirty or forty meters away from the Eighth Route Chariot troops, there were still 1,560 people alive among the more than 200 suicide squad members.

If the attack continued at this rate of loss, at least thirty or forty people would be able to reach the chariot alive.

Two kamikazes can take out one tank, and they can blow up twenty.

After half of the Eighth Route Army's tank units participating in the attack were destroyed, the offensive firepower of the remaining half of the tank units was reduced by half.

The troops continued to use the regimental commander's method just now to arrange death squads to attack. Perhaps more than a hundred people could destroy the remaining tanks.

of course……

This style of play is not applicable on all battlefields.

If the Eighth Route Army sends infantry to protect the tank, no matter how many death squads the commander sends, they will not be able to get close to the tank.

The problem now is that the Eighth Route Army only sent forty armored fighting vehicles to launch a counterattack against the returning troops, and did not send infantry to protect the fighting vehicles. This gave the regiment commander some opportunities to take advantage of.

A rare smile flashed across the serious face of the co-captain, as if he had seen victory before waving to him.

…………

Just when all the little devils were preparing for victory, a string of fireballs suddenly shot up in front of them and instantly shattered their dreams.

In the splashing fire, many suicide squad members were blown over and fell into a pool of blood without moving.

There were also some death squad members who were not only killed by the explosion, but also had the explosive packs in their arms detonated at the same time, and the entire corpses turned into a rain of blood in the explosion...

"Boom boom boom..."

After three consecutive rounds of explosions, the remaining more than 100 suicide squad members were directly destroyed by the bombings.

At this time, the twenty armored vehicles rushing behind the tank suddenly accelerated and charged forward alongside the tank.

Compared with tanks, armored vehicles are equipped with more vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns, and the machine gunner can directly see the outside situation through the shooting hole, and the shooting angle of the machine gun is much larger than that of tanks.

None of the few remaining little Japanese suicide squads in front of them escaped their eyes.

"Dong dong dong..."

Dozens of truck-mounted heavy machine guns fired at the same time. Whether it was the corpses of the killed kamikaze, the wounded, or the intact kamikaze, they were all shot at with thick bullets, and there was no movement at all.

The Japanese captain was confused by the sudden accident in front of him. He stared with a pair of big red eyes and did not react for a long time until the fourth round of mortar shells hit them.

"Boom boom boom...Sir, we are being targeted by the Eighth Route Army artillery. It is dangerous here and we must move immediately..." The explosion of artillery shells and the reminder rope of the guard captain rang in the ears of the commander at the same time.

Just as he recovered from the shock, two guards, one on the left and one on the right, were already holding him back, very quickly.

"Boom boom boom..."

The mortar fire rate was very fast. The group of people retreated less than ten meters when the fifth round of shells had already hit them.

One of the cannonballs was very close to the captain of the regiment, and the powerful shock wave knocked over the two guards around him on the spot.

The high-speed flying shell fragments penetrated into their bodies at the same time, taking away their lives.

If they hadn't used their bodies to form a human shield around them to block the incoming shell fragments, he would have been the one who fell to the ground now. "Rumble..."

The roar of the tank reached the ears of the commander at the same time. When he turned around, he saw that the torrent of steel headed by the tank had rushed two hundred meters behind him.

Their assault speed was very fast, chasing and shooting behind them.

You can clearly feel the bullets whizzing around you, and you can hear screams from behind.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army's tank troops are coming soon... What should we do next..." The guard captain was very anxious. He was chased and killed by the tank troops. A squadron of guard troops had already lost more than half of its troops in just a few minutes. .

If the regiment commander couldn't think of any other way to break the situation and the troops continued to fight like this, in at most three minutes, the guards and the regiment commander would be completely killed by the Eighth Route Army's tank troops.

The co-captain also wanted to ask what to do next.

It's a pity that the subordinates around him are all in a state of panic, and they can't even maintain the most basic sense, let alone think of a solution.

And as the captain of the unit, if he can't find a way to break the situation, it will definitely seriously affect the morale and morale of the troops.

So even if his mind is in chaos and there is no way to solve the problem, he will not speak out.

His mind was running rapidly, as if he were playing a movie, recalling all the battles he had experienced, hoping to find some lessons from them to help him get out of the current predicament.

It's a pity that the opponent is too strong.

As he said when he first attacked the Eighth Route Army, any conspiracy will become vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

This is indeed the case. Facing the torrent of steel rushing towards him from the Eighth Route Army, he could not even save his life, let alone fight back.

Facing the longing eyes of his subordinates, he wanted to nod.

But the cruel situation on the battlefield did not allow him to deceive others, so he could only order with a look of despair: "Disperse and break out."

"Although the Eighth Route Army has many tanks, there are only forty in total. As long as we divide our troops, it is impossible for these forty tanks to chase all of us at the same time... There are always troops who can get rid of the tanks and retreat from the battlefield. …”

As soon as the captain said this, he admitted that he had lost the raid.

All the subordinates could not believe the orders they heard.

The Imperial Army, which had never met an opponent before, was defeated by the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield.

Seeing everyone's confused faces, the captain became anxious.

Forty tanks followed closely behind everyone, firing while charging.

If the troops retreat one second late, a dozen more soldiers may be killed or injured.

Ordered again: "Bagh Yalu, didn't you hear the order I just gave?"

"The troops immediately dispersed to break out. How many people can be withdrawn... We also divided our troops to break out, otherwise everyone will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army's tank troops here."

"Then where will we go after we successfully break through?" a subordinate asked guiltily.

"Beiping..." the commander replied with pain on his face.

"We definitely can't go back to Tianjin Pier."

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked us was equipped with a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, and the Eighth Route Army that stayed behind at the Tianjin Pier must also be equipped with a large amount of heavy equipment. As far as the few remaining soldiers we broke through went to the Tianjin Pier, they were still looking for death."
