The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1392 There is only one way to get to the dark side (first update)

Compared with the 30,000 to 40,000 Kwantung Army elites killed in the Yizhong Base in one night, this loss was obviously nothing. Kong Jie quickly thought of a solution...

"Didn't we also seize more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces that can be used immediately, and thirty or forty mountain artillery pieces and field artillery pieces during the raid? We immediately replenished our troops with them, leaving not a single one behind!"

"Get the shells ready again, and let's prepare a surprise for Neji Okamura tonight!"

…………

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Kwantung Army, which had been traveling all day, was setting up temporary garrison in divisional units...

wrong……

The garrison should be established as a unit.

Although the North China Front Army Headquarters reported that the air force and heavy artillery under the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong had suffered a devastating blow and could no longer threaten their safety.

But the scene of the three main divisions being severely damaged is still vivid in my mind.

To be cautious, the three divisions decided to divide their troops and station them. In particular, the artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades under their command, which were most vulnerable to attack, were all distributed to each main regiment to prevent them from being attacked by Eighth Route Army aircraft and heavy artillery at the beginning of the war. a devastating blow.

When they encountered the Eighth Route Infantry and Chariot Troops again, they didn't even have the strength to fight back and could only be beaten passively.

"Buzz..."

Just when all the Kwantung Army thought they could sleep well tonight, the roar of the plane reached their ears again.

Tens of thousands of Kwantung troops suddenly turned into a group of frightened rabbits, and the station became chaotic.

The most vulnerable artillery wings quickly dispersed their concealed artillery pieces to prevent them from being overwhelmed by aircraft.

The results surprised them.

Before the mighty Eighth Route Plane came over their station, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky reached the ears of the Kwantung Army.

"Rumble..."

More than a hundred artillery shells of various calibers fell from the sky, setting off a large sea of ​​​​fire in the Kwantung Army's station in just an instant. Black smoke wrapped in fireballs rose from the ground at the same time. The power of the explosion was amazing.

On average, even if one shell only kills two Japanese soldiers, the total of these shells can take away the lives of 300 Japanese soldiers in an instant.

Facing the attack, the Kwantung Army division commander's first reaction was to immediately launch a counterattack.

While the artillery regiment still has the strength to fight, destroy as many Eighth Route Army artillery pieces as possible, even if they die, you have to pull in a few more backups.

then……

The artillery regiment under the division...the mountain artillery squadron under the infantry regiment, the mortar squadron under the infantry brigade, and one or two hundred artillery pieces all joined the battle, preparing for a large-scale artillery battle with the Eighth Route Army attacking them.

"Buzzing..."

The roar of planes from the sky suddenly became louder. The division commander looked up and saw several planes swooping towards the ground, aiming directly at the artillery brigades that had just joined the battle.

The division commander's face suddenly turned pale and he shouted out loud: "Baga... we have been fooled!"

"The Eighth Route Army used its own artillery units as bait to force our artillery units to fire, expose the specific locations of the artillery positions, and guide aircraft to bomb targets!"

The division chief of staff immediately showed an anxious expression and asked: "Division commander..."

"The Eighth Route Plane is coming so fiercely that it will definitely be too late for the artillery unit to temporarily relocate. What should we do next!"

The division commander clenched his fists and replied with a gloomy face: "There is only one way to go until it gets dark..."

"Order each artillery battalion..."

"Don't worry about the Eighth Route Army aircraft. Use each artillery position to fire out the artillery shells as fast as possible, and strive to cause maximum losses to the Eighth Route Artillery troops before dying..."

"In a word..." "Fight them..."

"Anyway, they are all going to be killed by planes. Try to destroy a few more Eighth Route Army artillery pieces before they are killed..."

After giving this order, the division commander seemed to have aged several years, obviously losing the fighting spirit he had just now.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not issue the order just now.

Aircraft and heavy artillery are not only the trump card of the Eighth Route Army, but also the trump card of the Kwantung Army.

Unless absolutely necessary, the division commander will never use his trump card to fight the Eighth Route Army. It is not cost-effective and may also affect the safety of the entire army.

Despite being discouraged, the division commander did not forget his own responsibilities.

For some unknown reason, a pair of eyes suddenly became particularly sharp. He stared at the chief of staff and began to issue orders.

"Send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters immediately..."

"Didn't they report that the aircraft and heavy artillery under the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong have suffered devastating blows? Then where did the aircraft and heavy artillery they are attacking us come from!"

"Send it now!"

"If it hadn't been for them notifying us of the wrong enemy situation, we would have definitely stepped up our alert and prepared for air defense and heavy artillery strikes. The artillery wing would not have had any accidents, and the losses to the troops would not have been so great!"

…………

Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping.

After Okamura Neiji received the news that the Eighth Route Army aircraft and heavy artillery in the wing had suffered a devastating blow, he returned to his room to catch up on his sleep, intending to take a good rest.

As a result, before he woke up, the chief of staff's report woke him up from his sleep.

"what happened again?"

"The frontline troops are without the threat of aircraft and heavy artillery. With their current strength, the Eighth Route Army should be unable to do anything to them... Can't you just let me have a good sleep?"

"Your Excellency, Commander... something big happened on the front line!" the chief of staff explained quickly.

"The headquarters just received an urgent message... The three main divisions were once again attacked by the joint attack of the Eighth Route Heavy Artillery and aircraft, causing heavy losses..."

"Ask whether the enemy situation we reported before was wrong..."

"Otherwise, where would the Yi Zhong Eighth Route Army get so many planes and heavy artillery?"

"Nani..."

Okamura Neiji was frightened. He stood up from the bed and took the telegram. He glanced at it and soon showed a dumbfounded expression.

Then he muttered to himself with a desperate expression: "How is this possible..."

"The aviation force and the intelligence department jointly confirmed that the heavy artillery and aircraft subordinate to the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong had been destroyed. How could there be a mistake!"

"Maybe they were all fooled by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army and saw the illusion that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army deliberately let them see!"

The chief of staff neither recognized nor denied Okamura Neji's explanation, because all he could think of was the scene of the three main divisions being attacked on the front line, and he was worried that they would repeat the same thing as last night when the three main divisions were hit hard. Same mistake.

He quickly reminded: "Then what should we do next?"

"Three divisions are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery and aircraft. Every minute, a large number of soldiers are killed and injured... I am worried that after the Eighth Route Army finishes bombing, it will send out infantry and tanks to attack. Then we The loss is huge!”

"Please Commander, please make a decision as soon as possible to reduce their losses!"
