The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 441 Kong Jie: Destroy Lao Tzu's mighty chariot squadron (second update)

"Tank... Captain, the little devil has dispatched tanks and armored vehicles..."

As soon as eight tanks and four armored vehicles emerged from the offensive position, Chief of Staff Li Wensheng let out an exclamation.

The same number of Japanese and puppet troops as before followed closely behind the tanks and armored vehicles, like twelve unsheathed sharp knives, quickly inserted towards the blocking position.

Kong Jie's face changed at the same time, the joy of successfully repelling the first attack of the Japanese puppet army disappeared instantly, and he began to give orders as soon as he frowned.

"Immediately send the rapid-fire artillery to the front-line blocking position, they can assist the defenders to destroy all tanks and armored vehicles!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Before Li Wensheng could answer, the sound of a violent explosion reached their ears.

Dozens of black smoke rose again from the blocking positions that had just been baptized by incendiary bombs...

The last explosion is not over yet, and the second round of shells has already followed...

Li Wensheng frowned even deeper, and said solemnly: "Commander, the devil's artillery fire is too fierce...Now let the rapid-fire artillery company reinforce the battlefield, and more than half of the casualties will be lost if the artillery fails to fire. It's too bad..."

Kong Jie analyzed with a sullen face: "Very cunning Sato..."

"Use tanks and armored vehicles as human shields to cover infantry attacks, and the light and heavy machine guns we hide in the bunker will be useless!"

"If you want to hold the position, you must either send a rapid-fire artillery company to reinforce the battlefield against the artillery fire, or let the troops enter the surface position and send out death squads to blow them up..."

"No matter what we choose, our troops will suffer heavy casualties from the artillery fire!"

A combat staff officer suggested: "If the Japanese and puppet troops approach the position and the mortars stop firing, let the rapid-fire artillery company go up for reinforcements!"

Li Wensheng shook his head: "It's too late..."

"The devil's mortars shoot at close range, and the hit rate is very high. The devil's chariot troops may not stop even if they rush [-] meters in front of the formation..."

"At that time, no matter the Japanese puppet infantry or tanks, it only takes ten or twenty seconds to kill the first line of defense..."

"No matter how fast the rapid-fire gun is, it is impossible to enter the position in such a short time and participate in the battle."

"If the little devil's bombardment of the blocking position does not stop, and the artillery fire is changed to extend, blocking the middle of the first and second line positions, the rapid-fire artillery company still has no chance to reinforce the battlefield!"

Another combat staff officer stood up and suggested: "If it doesn't work, fight with the devil!"

"Wait until they get close to the position and dispatch death squads...the tanks and armored vehicles will definitely be destroyed!"

Kong Jie objected without hesitation: "The casualties are too great, and we are the ones who suffer!"

"Once the Japanese and puppet troops rush to the front of the position under the cover of the tanks, our machine gun bunkers will lose their effect in close combat, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the devil tanks will become fixed firepower points, killing the defenders at close range!"

"Even if we were lucky enough to destroy those chariots, we would still be shot with heavy casualties by the vehicle-mounted machine guns..."

"When the Japanese and puppet troops behind the chariot join the battle, we won't even have the strength to resist!"

The combat staff officer who spoke just now proposed again: "Let the heavy artillery battalion join the battle..."

"Aim at twelve chariots and fire seven or eight rounds of artillery cover... Blind cats can kill mice and blow them into scrap iron!"

"This method is even more unacceptable!" Kong Jie vetoed again.

"The devil's plane is not a decoration!"

"In the Duanjiabao battle, the Sato Division suffered a big loss from the Heavy Artillery Battalion."

"Although they feel that the heavy artillery battalion has been severely damaged by the plane and the heavy artillery brigade, it is likely to have lost its combat effectiveness!"

"But that old devil Sato is still very cautious!"

"At any time, there is a plane on guard in the sky to prevent us from carrying out another artillery raid while the plane is not there!"

"Letting the heavy artillery battalion participate in the battle now is tantamount to letting them die!"

"In order to kill a tank squadron and bury a heavy artillery battalion, we will suffer even more from this deal!"

Having said that, Kong Jie seems to have made up his mind.

Suddenly raised his head to look at the battlefield, and ordered with a serious face: "Order..."

"The two mortar companies on the second line of defense immediately aimed at the Japanese mortar positions, and fired after a minute, disrupting their shelling rhythm!"

"The troops defending the front line take the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, and the speed must be fast!"

"The rapid-fire artillery company will immediately enter the second line of defense, and stand by in hiding..."

"Let's have a good fight with the devil tank troops there!"

"If the rapid-fire artillery company is wiped out in the battle, let's put the devil tank troops into position and send out death squads to fight them!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Twelve mortar shells came very suddenly, whistling, and exploded in the devil's mortar position in an instant. Two artillery positions were directly submerged in the artillery fire. Ten or twenty gunners were killed and injured, and fell to the ground. In a pool of blood.

"Don't mess up Bageya Road. The enemy only has a dozen mortars, which are not half as good as ours!" The commander-in-chief of the Devil Artillery had already figured out this scene, and calmly ordered when he saw the flustered subordinates in front of him.

"The Mortar Squadron of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalion continued to cover the blocking positions with artillery fire, and killed all the Eighth Route Army who wanted to destroy the tanks..."

"The Mortar Squadron of the Third and Fourth Brigade immediately adjusted its shooting personnel to counterattack the artillery of the Independent Regiment..."

Lieutenant General Sato also saw the scene of the attack on the artillery position, and he was in a very good mood, not at all depressed.

The independent regiment did not attack the attacking troops first, but used artillery fire to raid the mortar positions. Obviously, there was no way to take the offensive troops, so they had to retreat and start from the mortar positions!
But they dispatched too few mortars, and the chances of breaking the immediate crisis were too slim if they wanted to make a big difference with a small one.

It means that the attack in front of him will probably end with his complete victory.

As the leader of this attack, I must be very happy in my heart.

Under his gaze, the attacking troops moved forward under the cover of the chariot without encountering any resistance, and quickly rushed to the position [-] meters in front of the formation.

Although the artillery fire from the devils against the blocking positions did not stop, the number of shells fired was reduced by half.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers quickly drilled out of the artillery hole, entered the traffic trench along the trench, and withdrew to the second-line position.

During this period, many shells hit the retreating troops, but because the total number of shells dropped decreased, the casualties of the retreating troops also dropped sharply.

In the end, they successfully withdrew from the first-line positions with less than a hundred casualties.

The Japanese army attacked the position. Seeing the attacking troops rushing faster and faster, the chief of staff was ready to welcome the victory. While watching, he sighed with emotion: "The commander of the division...the chariot squadron is about to rush to the blocking position!"

"There was no gunfire there. The Eighth Route Army guarding the position should know that they were defeated by the tank squadron, so they gave up their position and fled!"

At this time, the front tank had rushed to the blocking position, but the imaginary sound of firefighting still did not sound.

Reminiscent of the artillery counterattack just now, Lieutenant General Sato was relieved all of a sudden, and suddenly realized.

"You're right, the independent regiments in the defensive position have all run away!"

"Just now they concentrated their artillery fire on our mortar positions, probably providing artillery counterattacks to the retreating troops!"

"Fortunately, our artillery didn't counterattack with all of them, leaving half of the mortars to continue attacking the blocking positions..."

"It must have killed and injured a lot of people!"

After a while, the news that the offensive troops had captured Dongshangang's first line of defense spread to the offensive position, and the chief of staff seized the opportunity to flatter Sato.

"The head of the division is wise!"

"The attacking force found nearly a hundred corpses of the Eighth Route Army who had just been killed in the bombing position..."

"This result is exactly the same as what you judged!"

Lieutenant General Sato was already happy.

This is the first attack he has won since he played against the Independence Regiment.

Everything starts from the beginning, with this victory as a foundation, the next attack will definitely be much easier. His eyes are getting hotter and hotter, staring at the battlefield with a face full of anticipation for orders.

"The troops continue to attack!"

"Let's strive to take advantage of the victory and pursue, and then take down the second line of defense at Dongshangang!"

In the former enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie had received the bad news that the frontline defenders had lost nearly a hundred people on the way to retreat, and he was in a very bad mood.

If these casualties occurred in the Duanjiabao blockade, at least two hundred little devils could be killed.

As a result, because the Sato Division suddenly dispatched chariots, these soldiers died in vain, and none of the devils were killed.

But Sato didn't give Kong Jie too much time to be sad.

Before he calmed down, Li Wensheng shouted anxiously: "Commander, the devils are attacking again..."

"I didn't even prepare for artillery fire, and launched an attack directly... This is too arrogant!"

"Arrogance is good!" Kong Jie immediately raised the binoculars, scolding while looking at it!

"Under the cover of chariots, the attacking troops easily took down our first-line positions without a single soldier!"

"This victory gave Sato hope to kill us."

"I want to go all out and maximize the power of the chariot before we think of a countermeasure to further expand the results of the battle..."

"The idea is good, but he doesn't know that we have already laid a net in the second line!"

"The more arrogant the attacking troops are, the more painful the collision will be, and the more blood will be shed!"

"Order the second-line positions to prepare for battle..."

"Especially the rapid-fire gun company, you must use the minimum cost to destroy the chariot squadron that the little devil is invincible..."

"Get rid of Sato's arrogance!"

The rapid-fire gun company is equipped with six 37mm rapid-fire guns, all of which were captured. It is the most important killer weapon of the independent regiment against tanks.

As soon as the devil's twelve chariots appeared, the company commander seemed to have been spat out, his eyes lit up and he ordered: "First attack the tanks!"

"Strive for the first round of shooting to knock out all the six tanks in front, otherwise their tank guns will pose a huge threat to us!"

"Whether the first round of shooting hits the target or not, leave the position after the shooting is over. Only when the rapid-fire gun is pushed to the reserve position can the second shot be fired. It is absolutely impossible to fire two shots in the same position."

"The devils are equipped with more artillery than us, and the attacking troops also have tank guns that can hit us directly. Any chance of luck may bring death to everyone!"

"The two mortar companies on the ground will fire with us, attacking the devil artillery and infantry, and relieve our pressure!"

"Devils come up...ready to fight..."

Twelve mortars and six thunder cannons scattered on the defense line are ready for battle at the same time...

The mortars were aimed at the Devils artillery position, and the Feilei artillery was aimed at the Japanese and puppet troops behind the chariot, ready to go...

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
