The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1409: Chief, the tunnel is useful! (Second update)

The three planes dropped eighteen aerial bombs in a row and then returned quickly. The remaining three planes loaded with aerial bombs continued to patrol the battlefield and provide air support to the ground forces at any time.

"Woooooooo..."

A series of even more piercing screams quickly sounded over the battlefield, followed by a series of thunderous explosions halfway up Wulan Mountain. More than a dozen huge fireballs soared into the sky halfway up the mountain, rising together. It was empty and still contained more than a dozen plumes of smoke.

Li Yunlong's headquarters is located in an underground bunker on the top of the mountain. More than 200 meters away from the mountainside, he can still feel the tremors caused by the explosion of artillery shells on the ground.

After being hit by three consecutive rounds of artillery fire, Li Yunlong couldn't help but cursed: "F*ck..."

"Heavy artillery is not a strategic heavy weapon, its power is so damn powerful..."

"I don't know if our tunnels can withstand these heavy artillery strikes."

Yang Song personally participated in the construction of the entire tunnel fortification and slept in the tunnel every day. No one knew better than him how deep the tunnel was and how amazing its defense was.

He patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, chief..."

"It may not be able to withstand the aerial bombs dropped by the Kwantung Army planes, but it will definitely be able to withstand the heavy artillery shells fired by the heavy artillery."

"Although our northward detachment is not equipped with heavy artillery, I have seen the power of heavy artillery shells in the Yi Zhong base area, and I can definitely withstand it!"

Although Li Yunlong was bold, he was very careful. He shook his head and replied: "Whether we can withstand it or not depends solely on our words!"

"Call Shi Jin immediately and ask them about the specific situation. The more detailed the better!"

Yang Song put down the microphone after three minutes. His face was still a little nervous, but when he put down the microphone, he became relaxed and looked at Li Yunlong happily reporting.

"Chief..."

"The tunnel is useful..."

"Batalion Commander Shi reported: Our tunnel fortifications successfully withstood the joint attack of the Kwantung Army's heavy artillery and aircraft."

"Only three tunnel entrances and exits were blown up because they were too close to the impact point. However, we dug several entrances and exits into each tunnel. Except for a few soldiers who were knocked unconscious, all other soldiers were safely transferred to other tunnels!"

"Okay!"

Li Yunlong's face was filled with joy at the same time, and his only concern disappeared at this moment, and he shouted an order.

"Since the tunnel is useful, it can help us withstand the joint attack of Kwantung Army aircraft and heavy artillery..."

"Then cheer me up for the next battle. We must destroy more Kwantung Army at the minimum cost."

…………

Kwantung Army offensive position.

The brigade commander was looking at the shelling scene in front of him with a satisfied expression.

After a joint attack by heavy artillery and aircraft, the Ulan Mountain defensive position has been completely enveloped by artillery fire, with gunpowder and thick smoke rising into the sky everywhere.

In his understanding, unless the Eighth Route Army built a large number of permanent fortifications with steel and concrete in Wulan Mountain, no matter how strong the civil fortifications outside the mountain were, they would not be able to withstand the combined attack of aircraft and heavy artillery.

"Let the mountain and field artillery brigade prepare for the battle...the heavy artillery brigade will fire for another two minutes and stop, and the mountain and field artillery brigade will continue to fire, completely destroying the surface positions halfway up the mountain."

"Mortars and attacking forces are ready for battle."

"The mountain artillery brigade fired a salvo for three minutes... As soon as the shelling stopped, the mortars covered it, and the infantry launched an attack. We strive to take down Wulan Mountain in one assault, so that the Eighth Route Army can take a good look at the combat effectiveness of our Gaoye Division, and at the same time let them know : In terms of positional warfare, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot be our Kwantung Army’s opponent.”

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosions of artillery shells coming from halfway up the mountain were obviously weaker, but more dense, and the fireballs rising from the surface positions were also much smaller. Li Yunlong knew as soon as he heard that the Guizishan Field Artillery Unit was taking action.

Based on his understanding of the Kwantung Army's combat methods.

After the planes bombed, the heavy artillery bombed, and after the heavy artillery bombed, the mountain field artillery bombed... When the mountain field artillery bombed, it was the turn of the mortars to provide cover, and the infantry launched the attack.

Immediately ordered to Yang Song: "Inform Shi Jin to prepare for battle, the little devils have begun to attack..."

"Let him take it easy!"

"At most two companies were dispatched in the first offensive and defensive battle, giving the Kwantung Army the illusion that they suffered heavy casualties."

"This will attract the Kwantung Army to continuously launch attacks against them..."

"We can also take the opportunity to kill more Kwantung Army."

"Otherwise, the tunnels and fortifications we worked so hard to dig in Wulan Mountain will be in vain!"

"Kill me..."

When mortars replaced mountain artillery and bombarded the blocking position halfway up the mountain, about a thousand elite Kwantung Army troops formed four skirmishing lines, like surging waves, rushing towards the defense line halfway up Wulan Mountain.

The distance between the two armies quickly shortened from three to four hundred meters to two to three hundred meters.

The heavy machine gun team accompanying the team to attack quickly rushed to the high ground they were interested in, quickly set up the heavy machine gun, and fired wildly at the Eighth Route Army position that was still shrouded in artillery fire.

The former enemy headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

The regimental commander standing next to the brigade commander was very happy.

The attacking troops were all from his command.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, it seemed that the Eighth Route Army defending the mountainside had been blown up by artillery fire and aircraft, otherwise there would not have been a single gunshot in the blocking position.

If the offensive force is overwhelming and takes down the Eighth Route Army's defense line halfway up the mountain in one assault, then the credit for annihilating the Eighth Route Army west of Fuxin will be in their own hands.

It looked like the attacking troops were getting closer and closer to the defense line halfway up the mountain, but the Eighth Route Army defending there still didn't make any movement.

The captain's whole body couldn't help but tremble with joy.

While observing the latest battle situation through the telescope, I prayed in my heart that all the Eighth Route Army troops on the position would be blown up.

Perhaps his prayers came true. The attacking troops rushed all the way to a distance of 120 to 30 meters in front of the formation without being attacked.

The Kwantung Army participating in the attack seemed to have concluded that all the Eighth Route Army had been blown up, and the assault speed was getting faster and faster... intending to take down the Eighth Route Army's mountainside defense line in one go.

"Da da da...dong dong dong..."

There were still the last hundred meters away from the defense line on the mountainside, and when many little Japanese soldiers had smiles of victory on their lips, the sound of light and heavy machine gun fire that they least expected to hear suddenly sounded directly in front of them.

Before anyone could react, the hail of flying bullets had already penetrated into their bodies.

The bullets were very dense and numerous. They intertwined with each other to form an airtight fire network. In the blink of an eye, the more than two hundred Kwantung Army troops rushing in the front row suffered a devastating blow. At least two bullets were drilled into each person. The bloody holes showed how fierce the blocking firepower was on the defense line halfway up the mountain.

The sudden scene frightened the brigade commander out of his wits. The smile on the face of the commander next to him also froze instantly, revealing an expression of dumbfounded shock. He had no idea that so many Eighth Route Army troops were still alive in the blocking position that had been razed to the ground. Just kill a quarter of the attacking force.

Do not……

It has now increased to one-third of the strength.

In the past two or three seconds, nearly half of the soldiers rushing in the second row fell.
