The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1366: This risk is worth taking (second update)

After the captain gave the order, the other major captain did not execute it immediately. Instead, he frowned and asked: "The mobile squadron only has one reinforcement squadron..."

"If divided into two, there will only be more than a hundred outflanking troops in each route..."

"With the strength of the Eighth Route Army outside the mountains, they can completely eat them. Wouldn't it be too risky to block the Eighth Route Army's retreat into the mountains?"

The captain of the Lieutenant Colonel shook his head and replied helplessly: "I know it's risky, but there is no way..."

"This place is close to the mountains, and the roads are far less smooth than those around Jinzhou City. Many road sections have not been repaired for a long time, making it difficult to drive quickly!"

"There are troops who have been to the Yujiabao stronghold in the past few days, and they should have a deep understanding of it!"

"If the mobile squadron does not divide its troops and happens to be blocked halfway, it fails to block the Eighth Route Army's retreat on time..."

"This Eighth Route Army that finally appeared will definitely slip away from under our noses..."

"I believe that no one wants to see this result."

"To be on the safe side, I split the mobile squadron into two!"

"In case one of the outflanking troops is blocked halfway, the other outflanking troops can arrive on time to block the Eighth Route Army for us."

“It’s a little risky, but well worth it!”

The major who raised the objection happened to have been to Yujiapu.

The road conditions there are indeed very bad. Although there is no problem at all if we take the infantry, it is really easy to cause problems if we take the car.

After thinking for a few seconds, he had to admit that splitting the mobile squadron into two was the best way to break the situation.

…………

Zaonigou.

A ravine that the Kwantung Army mobile squadron must pass through.

About two reinforced companies of soldiers were quietly lying in ambush on both sides of the road, waiting for the arrival of their prey.

Cao Xing hid at the exit of the pocket, with two blasters squatting beside him.

The long telephone line happened to be connected to the explosive pack buried on the road, and they were ready to give them a wake-up call as soon as the Japanese mobile squadron arrived.

"Buzzing..."

A faint roar of the engine suddenly reached Cao Xing's ears.

Turning to look at the end of the road, the little Japanese transport truck with its headlights on came directly into Cao Xing's field of vision, and then the second transport truck...

After a while, ten transport trucks appeared on the road, lining up and rushing towards the pocket formation quickly.

Their mission was to block the Eighth Route Army's retreat in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the road under their feet had just been traveled two days ago, and the roadside had been swept, and they did not encounter any danger or enemies. The Kwantung Army in the carriage took it for granted that there would be no danger on this road.

With almost no vigilance, they quickly moved towards the rear of Yujiabao.

"The Japs are coming, prepare to fight..." Cao Xing personally set up a Type 96 light machine gun, pulled the bolt, prepared the design, and at the same time gave orders to the blasters beside him.

"Keep the time of explosion..."

"Make sure that the first troop carrier is blown over, blocking the road, and the little devil in the carriage is severely injured..."

"Leave the rest of the little devils to us..."

"Rumble..."

The explosion came very suddenly, just like thunder, and it suddenly sounded at the front of the motorcade.

Orange-red flames rose into the air from the bottom of the transport vehicle, and then the entire transport vehicle flew up from the ground. It flipped over in the air and then hit the ground hard, and the entire front of the vehicle was flattened.

The kid in the car either fell down when the car turned over and hit the ground, or was knocked upside down by the car. There were more than a dozen little devils in the car, all dead and wounded, not a single one was left intact.

"Da da da... boom boom boom..."

More than a dozen soldiers ambushing on the roadside quickly took off their camouflage, pulled strings, and threw...

Throw the five grenades on your body as fast as you can.

The light machine gun mounted on the high ground spurted out tongues of fire, raining down bullets on the little Japs who wanted to get out of the car and fight back...

"Tick tock..."

Before Cao Xing had finished emptying his magazine, the loud sound of the charging bugle sounded in his ears.

Looking at the road dozens of meters away, several cars were completely destroyed by grenades and turned into a huge fireball, illuminating the surrounding battlefields.

Most of the little devils were killed by grenades before they could jump out of the car, and their bodies were hung on the car in various postures.

The kid who was lucky enough to jump out of the car was attacked wildly by more than a dozen light machine guns, causing heavy casualties...

When I glanced over, I could barely see the little devil standing there.

"Rush..."

Cao Xing decisively picked up the light machine gun, put away the bipod during the charge, and held it to his chest to use as a submachine gun. While charging forward, he fired at the suspicious target he found...

"Battal Commander... These Kwantung Army troops are too inexperienced... When we fought on the road, out of more than a hundred people, only a dozen could stand up..." The guard platoon leader of the fourth battalion ran to Cao Xing with excitement on his face. Report.

"Our three light machine guns killed them all with one sweep, and they didn't even reach the bayonet."

Cao Xing heard that his subordinates were in Versailles, and he cursed angrily: "As long as you can kill the Japanese, it doesn't matter if they shoot with machine guns or use bayonets..."

"Relatively speaking, I don't suggest that we fight with the Japanese with bayonets."

"The Kwantung Army is well-trained and well-equipped. It is known as the army with the strongest combat effectiveness among the Japanese. It must be very powerful with a bayonet."

"Our soldiers are far inferior to the Kwantung Army in terms of physical fitness, and the training time is not as long as theirs. They are definitely not as good as them in bayonet fighting..."

"So the two sides can fight without bayonets without fighting bayonets..."

"Blow up the remaining transport vehicles immediately. They must be completely destroyed and the ability to repair them must be lost."

"Take away all the loot that can be taken away, march quickly to retreat to Yujiapu, and blow up a few sections of highway..."

…………

More than three hours later, the main force of the Kwantung Army reached the Yujiabao stronghold from the front.

The ten-meter-high central turret of the stronghold has been turned into a pile of ruins, and the bodies of the killed Kwantung Army and Puppet Manchuria Army are everywhere in the field of vision.

What aggravated the little devil the most was that these former comrades-in-arms were almost stripped naked.

Not only were the weapons and ammunition taken away from him, but his military uniforms and cotton shoes... were all stripped clean!

Not a single intact house could be found in the entire stronghold.

"Sir... all the five settlements near the stronghold were conquered by the Eighth Route Army... The armed expatriates suffered more than 130 casualties. The Eighth Route Army stole a large amount of weapons and ammunition, food, and other financial and material supplies..." the squadron leader who led the mopping up troops along the way. He hurried to the captain and reported with a heavy face.

"We also recruited more than 80 new soldiers without family members from five settlement sites..."

"According to reports from the surviving expatriates at the settlement point...the Eighth Route Army moved the stolen food and supplies into the mountains..."

"As long as the mobile squadron is in place on time to outflank them, we will definitely be able to block them outside the mountain, gather together and annihilate them..."
