The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1376 It’s time to make dumplings (second update)

Fighting the main force of reinforcements is not as simple as fighting the forward squadron.

The Kwantung Army's forward squadron has only one reinforced squadron, divided into more than 20 transport vehicles. The entire team is only three to four hundred meters long in total.

Li Yunlong holds two reinforced battalions, and a pocket formation can surround them all.

The main force of the reinforcements consists of three infantry squadrons, plus a mortar squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, and an infantry artillery squadron that cooperate with the operation. There are more than 700 serious cases, marching in two lines, plus various artillery pieces mixed in the ranks. The mighty marching team was six hundred meters long.

After continuous battles, the two reinforced battalions in Li Yunlong's hands have been sharply reduced to less than 700 people. If the pocket array is deployed, it will be three to four hundred meters long at most. Obviously, it cannot surround the Kwantung Army reinforcements.

Li Yunlong decided to eat the main course prepared for him by the Fuxin Kwantung Army in two steps.

…………

"Dong dong dong..."

The battle began quickly, signaled by the dull sound of heavy machine gun fire.

Seven or eight machine gun flames instantly appeared from the high ground on both sides of the road, some long and some short. The bullets fired were intertwined with each other and instantly enveloped an infantry squadron at the front of the team.

Twenty or thirty Kwantung Army soldiers were killed on the spot and fell on the road in various postures.

The surviving Kwantung Army threw themselves on the ground as fast as they could, rolled to the roadside, used pits and rocks as bunkers, and fought back with rifles.

But the light and heavy machine guns blocking them fired at them from top to bottom, occupying an absolute terrain advantage.

Even though this group of Kwantung Army was very powerful, they still suffered heavy casualties and were suppressed on both sides of the road.

Especially the several light machine guns equipped by this group of Kwantung Army.

As soon as they fired, the light and heavy machine gun bullets flew towards them from the high ground as if they were free, leaving them with no chance to fire.

"Bageya Road...why are there Eighth Route Army blocking troops here?" the captain asked with confusion on his face as he looked at the fierce battle in front of him.

The adjutant on the side also couldn't figure it out. He frowned and answered: "The forward squadron passed here two hours ago. If it was blocked by the Eighth Route Army, there would definitely be some traces of crossfire here, but there is nothing around..."

"I believe that the Eighth Route Army that blocked us either came here temporarily or deliberately let the forward squadron pass through their position specifically to block us here."

The captain's face sank and he ordered: "Whatever the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy is?"

"We must quickly pass through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position and fight to the battlefield of Raoyang River."

"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to the forward squadron, and we fail to hold the Raoyang River stronghold and protect the railway line, we will suffer a big loss."

After saying that, he stared at the battlefield in front of him and ordered: "The Eighth Route Army's blocking troops are mainly concentrated on the hilltops. They can use light and heavy machine guns to attack us from above. The casualties from a frontal attack will be too high..."

"The mortar squadron immediately set up artillery and attacked the light and heavy machine gun fire points on the high ground from a long distance..."

"After the artillery severely damages the highland defenders, we will continue to advance forward, seize the Eighth Route Army's defense line, and continue to reinforce the Raoyang River stronghold."

"Boom boom boom..."

After a while, the two highlands where the gunshots were fired were shrouded in artillery fire, and black smoke rose into the sky everywhere.

In the splashing firelight, the captain could clearly see the scene of the Eighth Route Army soldiers being blown up together with their guns.

"Kill me..."

As soon as the three-minute artillery attack ended, more than a hundred Japs rushed out of the road, split into two, and simultaneously launched an attack on the two highlands under the cover of heavy machine guns.

The battle went smoother than the captain expected. After several rounds of artillery fire, it seemed that all the Eighth Route Army troops on the defensive highlands had been blown up. The attacking troops did not encounter any resistance and rushed up the hill in one attack.

The captain felt that everything was going too smoothly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But it was a fact that the offensive troops captured the Eighth Route Army's blocking position. Faced with the critical Ranyang River stronghold, they decisively put those concerns behind them.

No matter what conspiracy the Eighth Route Army had just blocked him, it could not stop the captain's determination to reach the battlefield of Raoyang River as soon as possible.

If something unexpected happens along the way, at worst, the soldiers will come to block the water and come to the Tutun, and they will take advantage of the situation.

"The troops continue to advance and march quickly to reinforce the Mach stronghold..." The captain began to give orders as soon as he heard the good news.

"Concentrate the troops..."

"Don't spread out too much. Mortar units and heavy machine gun units are mixed among the infantry."

"In case there is an Eighth Route Army blocking position ahead, the Second Squadron will immediately launch an attack under the cover of artillery and heavy machine guns. There is no need to ask for instructions or wait for my order..."

"Quickly win the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions and continue to reinforce the battlefield..."

"They can't hold on anymore..."

More than ten minutes later, the dull sound of heavy machine gun fire appeared again on the high ground directly in front of the Kwantung Army.

Although the Kwantung Army immediately counterattacked with mortars, taking the high ground and breaking through the Eighth Route Army's defense line in just five minutes, the rain of bullets flying down the road still killed more than a small group of Kwantung Army in a very short time. .

In addition to the casualties suffered by the Kwantung Army in the last round of raids, the total strength of the Second Squadron had dropped sharply from more than 180 to more than 30 without even realizing it, almost losing its combat effectiveness.

The captain did not let these casualties stop him from advancing.

It can be seen from the battle reports sent back by the attacking troops: The Eighth Route Army blocking troops also paid a heavy price in the artillery fire.

Both sides suffered casualties on each other, but they themselves did not suffer much.

As long as the Raoyanghe stronghold can be successfully rescued, the casualties and losses are not a loss at all.

…………

Nangou ambush position.

Two scouts rushed over along the road and went straight to Li Yunlong's headquarters.

As soon as he entered the door, he gasped and reported: "Commander, the main force of the Kwantung Army is coming..."

"There are still two infantry squadrons, two mortar squads, two heavy machine gun squads, and one infantry artillery squad, with a total of more than 500 soldiers..."

Li Yunlong smiled and answered: "Now we can eat them in one bite."

"Pass me an order: The troops will prepare for battle immediately. I want to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Kwantung Army's reinforcements."

"Contact the guard camp at the same time and launch a general attack on the Raoyang River stronghold in ten minutes. Take the stronghold as quickly as possible without giving the Japanese and puppet troops time to destroy the stronghold and reserve ammunition..."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the ambush battle in front of him, but turned his attention to the map in his hand, frowning to study the unit's next combat direction and attack target.

If you want the Kwantung Army headquarters to focus on Fuxin and deploy heavy troops to reinforce Fuxin, it is not enough to eat a large Kwantung Army group in Fuxin.

We must further expand the results and make the Kwantung Army headquarters feel that Fuxin must also become our Eighth Route Army base area.
