The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1173 Li Yunlong: I agree! (First update)

Seeing that Huang Yu still looked regretful, Kong Jie continued to comfort: "As long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices..."

"In this battle, we eliminated more than 12,000 Japanese puppet troops and seized a large amount of weapons, equipment and ammunition."

"Although the troops left behind in Xiong County suffered heavy casualties, compared with the Japanese and puppet troops we killed, it was obviously worth it."

"The blood of the fallen soldiers was not shed in vain."

"As commanders, we can feel sad about the casualties of our troops, but we must remain rational at all times."

"Only in this way can we ensure that we achieve the maximum results at the minimum cost in the following battles."

"Of course, not every battle can be won like this."

"On the battlefield, it is common for a certain unit to be used as a bait or even to sacrifice a certain unit in order to achieve a certain strategic goal."

"To put it bluntly, I have seen many more sacrifices than you have along the way."

"When we were still in the Red Army, many comrades and subordinates were fine one second, but they all died on the battlefield after a battle."

"Li Yunlong and I were lucky enough to get all the way to where we are now."

"If you are like you, if the troops suffer a little heavy casualties, they will look regretful and not think about food and drink, then you will not be able to command the troops to fight."

Huang Yu knew that Kong Jie was trying to comfort himself.

Feeling much better, he immediately asked: "Commander..."

"The southbound reinforcements sent by Neji Okamura were fortunately eliminated by us in Xiong County. Then we can fully prepare for the raid on Tianjin Wharf."

"Originally, we planned to allocate some troops to contain the Japanese and puppet troops moving south, but now we no longer need them."

"My idea is to solve it quickly..."

"We will send troops to Tianjin Pier in five days at the latest..."

Huang Yu's words shocked Kong Jie, and he asked with shock on his face: "Is it too fast..."

"Coupled with the losses of reinforcements sent south to encircle and annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops, the total strength of the Sole Brigade has dropped sharply from more than 10,000 to less than 4,000, and there are still a large number of lightly and seriously wounded people."

"The number of troops that can actually go to the battlefield immediately is estimated to be only three thousand, which is exactly one regiment."

"In order to stabilize the war situation in the wing, Okamura Neiji transferred more than 10,000 people from Heipin and Tianjin to go south."

"But the Pingjin area is, after all, the location of the Japanese North China Front headquarters."

"The remaining troops still exceed 20,000."

"The Tianjin Pier stores the Japanese North China Front's weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies. Neji Okamura will definitely fight to keep it there."

"I estimate that we need to face at least 13,000 opponents in this raid."

"We only have this few troops left, and we have to travel long distances to Pingjin to participate in the war. We are not particularly familiar with the terrain. The advantage in troops, firepower, and terrain...are almost all in the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops. This is not an egg against a stone. Looking for death?"

Huang Yu shook his head and explained: "Captain..."

"There really aren't many people left in the One Brigade..."

"But the deputy commander's independent brigade is still strong."

"Although the battle to attack Baoding was brutal, based on my understanding of the deputy commander, he would definitely not go head-to-head with the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Baoding."

"So the casualties of the Independent Brigade in the offensive and defensive battle of Baoding should not exceed 4,000 people. They have at least 6,500 people left to continue fighting."

"It will be no problem to temporarily reorganize the Sole Brigade and form a temporary regiment of more than 2,000 people." "Add the special regiment, heavy artillery regiment, and all the cavalry units in the division, and it will be no problem to form a temporary regiment of 12,000 people. "

"As for the Japanese and puppet troops staying in Pingjin..."

"Okamura Neji can indeed mobilize more than 10,000 people to deal with us."

"But the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands. If we suddenly rush into Pingjin, as long as we are fast enough, we may kill four or five thousand of Okamura Neji's people before he even reacts."

"And we are carrying a large number of heavy artillery, tanks, and cavalry troops for this sortie..."

"Although there are many Japanese and puppet troops staying in Pingjin, in order to reinforce Yi Zhong, they have almost all the heavy artillery and tank troops they equipped, especially the tank troops."

"There is not enough artillery cover on the battlefield. Even if Okamura Neji deploys a main force to intercept us, there will only be passive fans in front of the two tank battalions of the Special Regiment."

"In addition, in addition to the more than 10,000 people who can be dispatched from the base area, the commander seems to have forgotten the ambush we arranged in advance north of Peiping..."

"Beiping Guerrilla Brigade..." Kong Jie patted his head and said.

"This is indeed a surprising force..."

"Used properly, their role on the battlefield is no less than that of two or three main regiments."

Huang Yu smiled and replied: "Only two or three groups?"

"Commander, you underestimate them too much..."

"Although I haven't been to the Peking Guerrilla Brigade for more than half a year, our contact with the Peking Guerrilla Brigade has not been interrupted."

"The current captain, political commissar, and several battalion commanders of the Peiping Guerrilla Brigade are all elite soldiers transferred from the division. Some are good at fighting guerrillas, and some are good at attacking..."

"With the addition of weapons and ammunition to support them by division, the total strength of the Peiping Guerrilla Brigade has expanded to more than 14 people. It is not only equipped with common rifle machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and mortars, but also established an artillery battalion. , under the jurisdiction of two mountain artillery companies and one field artillery battalion, with a total of mountain field artillery pieces, its combat effectiveness is no worse than any main regiment in the base area."

"They are operating in the north of Peiping. They can break through the Japanese and puppet troops' defense lines blocking them at any time and threaten the security of Peiping City."

"With this army here, Okamura Neji will definitely not dare to send a single soldier from Peiping to reinforce Tianjin."

"Not only that... the Peiping guerrilla brigade can also dedicate some troops to help us eliminate the scattered Japanese and puppet troops stationed around Peiping, and completely cut off the connection between Peiping and Tianjin."

"We can also send some scouts to serve as guides for our troops."

"After all, most of the soldiers in the Peiping Guerrilla Brigade are from the local area, and they have specially investigated the terrain in the Pingjin and Tianjin areas. They must be more familiar with the terrain there than we are."

Kong Jie frowned and did not answer, silently analyzing the feasibility of Huang Yu's idea in his mind.

Li Yunlong's voice suddenly sounded from the command department: "Kong Er is stupid..."

"I agree with Xiao Huang's interests. The troops will immediately send troops to raid Tianjin Pier."

"To be honest, I didn't expect Huang Yu to be so courageous..."

"The troops fought continuously and just fought three major battles. As a result, they only rested for three or four days before going into the next major battle."

"Even things that neither of us can think of, Okamura Neji who is far away in Peiping certainly can't think of it."

"We sent out a surprise force and suddenly appeared in Pingjin. Before Okamura Neji could react, we made a quick battle and captured Tianjin Pier directly."

"By the time Okamura Neiji reacted and wanted to mobilize troops to reinforce the Tianjin dock, we had already set up defenses around Tianjin and were waiting for the Japanese and puppet reinforcements to hit our guns."
