Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Of course.

As the commander of the Japanese field regiment, Heifuji, an old devil who graduated from the island country's Army Officer University and had made great achievements on the front battlefield, was arrogant but also very capable.

He carefully studied the situation of the destruction of the Namwon Battalion in the independent regiment base.

Although Hei Teng was not clear about how the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment destroyed the Namwon Battalion.

The Namwon Battalion even had no time to request reinforcements before it was destroyed.

But through investigation of clues.

Hei Teng discovered that the direction chosen by the Nanyuan Battalion to attack the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment was on a mountain road with complex terrain, limited vision, narrow terrain, and not wide enough.

This kind of terrain is most suitable for the Eighth Route Army to launch ambushes.

Colonel Kurofuji believed that the Eighth Route Army could only pose a threat to the Japanese army if it concentrated its equipment and ammunition and carried out ambushes of this magnitude.

Moreover, the ambush methods used by the Eighth Route Army at that time must have been extremely fierce.

As a result, the Namwon Battalion was completely destroyed and there was not even time to call for reinforcements.

So, while being arrogant, Colonel Kurofuji, who had a strong military sense, gave the order.

A route was specifically selected on the map, passing through the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, and advancing through relatively open areas all the way.

In this way...

Colonel Kurofuji, who thought everything was as expected, said to his adjutant beside him: "The Eighth Route Army can't find a suitable terrain to ambush our army.

In open terrain battles, positional warfare is often the main form of warfare, which allows us to fully utilize our army's superior artillery firepower.

In this regard, I do not think that the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment can be better than that of our magnificent field regiment. "

After the order is issued.

Hei Teng divided the entire 113th Regiment into three parts: the vanguard, the central force, and the rear guard.

The direction chosen for the march was basically an open area along the way, and the mountains and valleys on both sides were some distance away. Even if there were ambushes, the Japanese army's route was out of range.

at the same time.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

The Japanese advance was quickly reported to the headquarters.

Kong Jie was not surprised to learn that the Japanese had chosen an area with relatively open terrain along the way, because the Japanese were not stupid.

Not long ago, the Namwon Battalion rashly entered a mountainous area with complex terrain and was completely wiped out.

How could the Japanese army choose such terrain to repeat the same mistake?

That being the case.

Then continue to execute according to the predetermined plan.

"Captain of the First Battalion, arrange a few waves of blocking first. Pay attention to concealment. Before the Japanese launch an artillery attack, have the soldiers withdraw and let the Japanese have their fun."

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Zheng Meng immediately took the order and made arrangements.

soon.

The vanguard troops of the old devil Hei Teng were blocked by the Eighth Route Army along the way.

That was a field defensive fortification built in advance by the Eighth Route Army in an open terrain - after all, this was the Eighth Route Army's defense zone. The Japanese thought that by choosing a direction with more open terrain, they could pass through without any hindrance. How was that possible?

Hei Teng gave the order to attack without any hesitation.

The firepower of the blocking Eighth Route Army troops was also strong.

Hei Teng observed through the telescope and found that the number of Eighth Route Army soldiers blocking the enemy was not large, with only about a squadron of troops.

The firepower configuration is indeed stronger than that of the ordinary Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese army had Type 89 grenade launchers assigned to squads and squadrons as reinforcement artillery for small-scale combat units.

These Eighth Route Army also had a considerable number of grenade launchers.

Moreover, judging from the explosive power of its shells, it seems to be even more powerful than the Japanese Type 89 grenade launcher.

Looking more closely, the small-caliber mortars used by the Eighth Route Army could almost be called mini mortars.

The style of the main barrel is almost identical to that of the Japanese grenade launcher, but a special front support bracket is added.

Maybe it was a modified grenade launcher that was captured from the Japanese army.

Da da da--

The enemy's Eighth Route Army's machine gun firepower was equally fierce. Light machine guns were set up behind the field fortifications. In this relatively open terrain, they formed a network of interwoven firepower to block the Japanese advance.

There was no effective cover in this relatively open terrain.

For a moment, the Japanese vanguard troops did not dare to charge forward rashly.

"Sir, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army seems to be more intense than we thought!"

The Japanese deputy military attaché on the side noticed the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army's counterattack and couldn't help but speak.

Hei Teng nodded and said thoughtfully: "Now I can probably guess why the Nanyuan Battalion was completely wiped out by this independent regiment.

Judging from the level of equipment displayed by this Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, even though our army was in a relatively narrow mountain terrain, it was suddenly ambushed by such fierce firepower.

I’m afraid there will be considerable casualties.”

"Just now..."

The old devil sneered contemptuously: "Although the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is not weak, they have a large number of machine guns and even modified small-caliber artillery.

But after all, they lacked large-caliber artillery and did not have the artillery advantage in head-on positional warfare.

Order the infantry artillery squadron to concentrate fire immediately and completely destroy the enemy's fortifications."

"Hi!"

Boom boom boom——

The Japanese launched an artillery offensive, with more than a dozen Type 92 infantry guns firing at full speed, and shells fell heavily on the Eighth Route Army's field fortifications.

The scene was extremely shocking. Under the artillery attack, the Eighth Route Army's field defense fortifications were completely submerged in the artillery fire. The earth and stone structure fortifications, which were originally quite solid, appeared particularly thin and fragile in the artillery fire.

The fortifications that were directly hit by the Japanese artillery shells were even forcibly blasted open.

The power of these larger-caliber artillery pieces of the Japanese were truly astonishing.

Under such bombardment, if there were troops stationed behind the fortifications, there would inevitably be heavy casualties.

fortunately.

The company commander who led the blocking team arranged reconnaissance soldiers in advance to be alert to the movements of the artillery team behind the Japanese army at any time. Once the devils started to build artillery positions, the news was immediately passed to the company commander.

The company commander acted decisively and ordered his troops to quietly withdraw from the fortifications through the reserved retreat channel before the Japanese launched their artillery bombardment.

The location for building this field fortification was also cleverly chosen. The terrain at the rear was relatively low, which could just avoid the enemy's reconnaissance sight.

then.

After the bombardment that lasted for five minutes, the Japanese soldiers who were charged by the artillery and infantry immediately launched an attack on the field fortifications.

A few minutes later, the Japanese occupied the field fortifications without any hindrance.

Colonel Kurofuji, who climbed up the field fortifications, had a look of surprise on his face.

No enemy bodies were found on the fortifications.

"These damn Eighth Route Army soldiers are so cunning!"

He couldn't help cursing, but he guessed that the Eighth Route Army had fled in advance before the artillery attack.
