Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 211: Siege of Jincheng

As soon as Kong Jie hung up the phone, he felt something was wrong.

"When did Li Yunlong become Big Brother? Damn it!"

Kong Jie cursed a lot, but he immediately started to deploy his troops.

Taking advantage of the remaining hour or so, he laid a large number of mines on the road below the White Horse Temple Mountain and built simple fortifications on the mountain.

When the Japanese vanguard arrived at Baimasi Mountain, they panicked and did not conduct any prior reconnaissance, and rushed into the encirclement of the New Second Regiment.

After dozens of Japanese soldiers in the vanguard were killed by landmines, they immediately became alert and soon discovered the New Second Regiment on the White Horse Temple.

At this time, Kenjiro Kei Miura also woke up. He looked at Jincheng which was so close at hand and thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But I never expected that there was a final obstacle on the hillside.

"Baga, don't fight to the end. Once we enter Jincheng, the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery and aircraft will be useless. We can just hold on and wait for help!"

"Hayi!"

Kenjiro Keiichiro ordered a squadron of Japanese soldiers and the remaining four or five hundred puppet troops to form an "escort" force to suppress the New Second Regiment on the hillside with firepower.

All of the Japanese mortars had been lost, but the grenade launchers they carried with them were collected.

Within a hundred meters, the Japanese grenade launchers were fast and accurate, and soon suppressed the machine gun positions of the New Second Regiment.

"Damn it! Organize sharpshooters to knock down the Japanese's grenade launchers!"

The new Second Regiment had a weak foundation, so naturally there were very few sharpshooters. Moreover, the Japanese grenade launcher team was composed of veterans, and the positions they chose were very tricky.

For a time, the New Second Regiment was unable to delay the Japanese retreat.

"Damn it, prepare to charge!"

Kong Jie, who was at his wit's end, was ready to get mad, but was stopped by the communicator.

"Captain, Wei Dayong from the Independent Column Reconnaissance Battalion is here!"

"where!"

Monk Wei rushed over in a dusty state because he didn't want to run into this bad luck because of the damage caused by the Japanese's suicide weapons along the way.

According to him, the Tiger tanks were made of fast iron lumps, but his armored vehicles were all tin cans. Not to mention a tortoise shell, even if a Japanese soldier looking for death with a lantern threw a grenade into the back of an armored vehicle, it would be enough to kill him.

So, Wei Dayong took more than 200 elite soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, equipped with light mortars and rifles, and took a shortcut to quickly reach Baimasi Mountain.

"Captain Kong, Commander Li asked us to come and support you. We must stop the large Japanese army here!"

At this time, Kong Jie also put things in perspective and did not dare to refuse Monk Wei's support for the sake of face.

Face is a small matter, but missing the opportunity is a big matter.

"Okay, now the Japanese grenade launchers have caused us a lot of casualties, let's get rid of the grenade launchers first!"

"Leave it to us!"

Monk Wei immediately dispersed the 50mm light mortars at the positions of the New Second Regiment on Baimasi Mountain to suppress and counterattack the Japanese grenade launchers.

Wei Dayong led snipers to lurk in the front positions, approaching and firing at the enemy's grenade launchers and machine guns.

The addition of more than 200 elite soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion quickly reversed the situation and the Japanese defense line began to loosen.

However, Kenjiro Keiichiro, who was charging forward with his head down, had already treated a squadron of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops who were suppressing him on the roadside as abandoned pawns.

"Captain Kong, Commander Li called and asked us to break contact with the Japanese!"

"It looks like the armored division is catching up!"

Monk Wei seemed to have received Li Yunlong's telegram as well. He quickly left the battlefield, checked his personnel and equipment, and saluted Kong Jie.

"Captain Kong, we have other tasks. When the fight starts, don't show your head! Commander Dai's tank guns are not to be trifled with!"

After Monk Wei finished speaking, he hurriedly marched towards Jincheng, three kilometers away.

Dai Anlan, who was standing on the command tank, wiped his sweat, and finally caught up with the Japanese army.

"Deploy the attack formation immediately, and insert the armored vehicles between the tanks. We must prevent the desperate Japanese suicide attacks! It is better to empty an ammunition belt than to take any risks!"

All the Tiger tanks were loaded with high-explosive shells, and each impact point exploded among the fleeing Japanese troops, destroying a large area with one blast.

There were only a few Japanese soldiers left in the squadron responsible for the cover, and they were quickly wiped out.

As for the remaining hundreds of puppet soldiers, without the support of the Japanese, they obediently raised their guns above their heads and waited to be captured.

The machine guns on the armored vehicles and Tiger tanks fired again at the Japanese corpses on the ground.

"Captain Kong! I'll leave the cleaning of the battlefield to you. We have other tasks to do!"

Kong Jie secretly became angry and wondered when they would be able to get armored vehicles and tanks. These two legs really could not outrun wheels.

"Okay, what about these captured items?"

"All of them belong to your New Second Regiment. We are just passing by!"

Seeing that Dai Anlan was so understanding, Kong Jie gladly accepted Dai Anlan's arrangement and happily began to clean up the battlefield.

They no longer care about these Type 38 rifles as regular troops, but they still have a considerable number of militia and local forces, all of which are crying out for food.

Moreover, the grenade launchers in these cabinets are all good things, light and convenient. If used well, they are more useful than 200mm mortars in battles within 50 meters.

Dai Anlan's troops were like lions, biting the tail of the wild boars one bite at a time.

However, the Japanese soldiers with bombs tied to their bodies kept rushing towards the tanks and armored vehicles. The armored division did not dare to advance rashly and had to advance steadily.

Use a 12.9mm caliber to maintain the absolute safety of tanks and armored vehicles.

The Japanese's suicidal tactics of adding fuel to the fire achieved certain results and delayed the armored division's pursuit, but the number of Japanese was also constantly decreasing.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the plain area on the north side of Jincheng.

Thirty tanks and hundreds of armored vehicles were quickly deployed in a long line.

A Tiger tank battalion and an armored infantry battalion were chasing after Kenjiro Keiichiro Miura, preparing to encircle them.

Another part of the armored vehicles bypassed Kenjiro Keisuke and encircled to the south, preparing to besiege Jincheng and catch the turtle in the urn.

After the deployment, the firepower of the Tiger tank immediately increased by several levels, and it began to pour ammunition at the Japanese madly.

When Kenjiro Kei Miura saw that they had arrived at Jincheng, he ran towards the city gate without caring about anything else.

As long as he can enter Jincheng, his life can be temporarily saved.

After several months of management by Keisuke Miura, he recruited a lot of laborers and built a large number of permanent fortifications around Jincheng, especially the north gate facing Pingshun, which was lined with artillery towers and bunkers.

Qing Sanpu had already seen the plaster flag of the artillery tower, ran for several hundred meters, and finally entered the artillery tower.
