The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 119 Killing the Yamazaki Brigade (for subscription)

Yamazaki was able to serve as the captain of the devil's field force, and his vision and ability were not bad. Looking at the battlefield situation, he knew that it would be difficult for the troops to break through the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Even if he killed the Eighth Route Army blocking the way ahead, he would have to pay a huge price. The Eighth Route Army field hospital had already been transferred, and in the end there was no benefit.

It's better to save your strength as a bait, attract more Eighth Route Army to besiege yourself, and create opportunities for the main force to encircle the Eighth Route Army.

After a quick glance at the surrounding terrain, he began to give an order: "The offensive troops will withdraw from the battle immediately, the whole army will retreat to Lijiapo, rely on the favorable terrain to establish a defensive position, and stand by for help!"

"I want to send a telegram to the military headquarters: The Yamazaki Brigade entered the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base by accident, and encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Our department decided to stick to Lijiapo and attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army to come and besiege. The military department is requested to deploy heavy troops to encircle Lijiapo."

"After the encirclement is completed, the center of the Yamazaki Brigade will bloom and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army!"

In the war room of the headquarters, the boss was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, and cursed angrily: "If you run away, our Eighth Route Army will lose all face!"

"Chief of Staff, I will immediately capture the escaped company commander and kill him..."

"And that son of a bitch, Yamazaki Brigade, we must find out how he sneaked into our stomachs quietly. If someone is negligent in this matter, the headquarters will investigate and deal with them one by one. No one can be sympathetic! "

"The Yamamoto Secret Service's attack on Yang Village has just passed, and the Yamamoto Special Service Team is still roaming around outside. Our troops don't have a long memory. Letting a brigade of devils directly enter the hinterland of the base this time is simply a disgrace to our Eighth Route Army! "

The chief of staff replied with lingering fear: "The escaped company commander has been captured, and the headquarters will definitely deal with it seriously!"

"I will also investigate the matter of the Yamazaki Brigade quietly entering our base area, and give an explanation to the headquarters. Please rest assured, the boss!"

"Fortunately, the Yamazaki Brigade was stopped at the last moment, otherwise the field hospital would be in danger!"

"Speaking of this matter, I have to thank Comrade Huang Yu, Kong Jie's subordinate!"

"Ten days ago, I told Brigadier Chen that the defense of our field hospital was full of loopholes. We pretended to be the Japanese army and attacked the field hospital, but we actually got close to the field hospital."

"Brigade Commander Chen broke into a cold sweat when he found out, and immediately mobilized a main battalion to plug the loophole that Comrade Huang Yu discovered!"

"The route of the Yamazaki Battalion's surprise attack on the field hospital was exactly the same as that of Huang Yu, and it happened to hit the main battalion temporarily transferred by Brigadier Chen!"

The boss gasped after listening: "Then we really want to thank Comrade Huang Yu!"

"The field hospital is different from other units. It is related to the medical security and morale of our entire Eighth Route Army. There must be no accidents!"

"When the battle is over, we must reward Comrade Huang Yu in the name of the headquarters!"

"But our top priority now is to kill the Yamazaki Brigade!"

"Report..." A communications staff officer ran in panting.

"Chief, the situation of the Yamazaki Brigade has been clarified: they still have [-] people left, equipped with nine mortars and nine heavy machine guns..."

"After being blocked by us, the whole army retreated to Lijiapo and used the favorable terrain to build fortifications, as if they were going to stand there and wait for help!"

"Boss, something seems wrong!" The deputy chief of staff frowned upon hearing this.

"Although the Yamazaki Brigade is well-equipped and powerful, it only has [-] people. As long as we attack with all our strength, they will definitely die!"

"Under normal circumstances, they should evacuate the base area immediately."

"Now do the opposite, stick to Lijiapo, and wait for us to attack!"

"I suspect that the Yamazaki Brigade was a bait sent by the Japanese army to deliberately attract us to attack. The main force of the Japanese army formed a large encirclement around the periphery and wiped out all our troops attacking the Yamazaki Brigade!"

"Crack!" The boss punched the table again, and ordered firmly: "I don't care what plots the little devil has, I must kill this son of a bitch Yamazaki brigade!"

"Otherwise, there will be more Yamazaki brigades going deep into our base to wreak havoc!"

"As for the conspiracy you mentioned, it depends on whether the little devil has such a big appetite. As long as the frontline troops attack smoothly and eat up the Yamazaki brigade in a short time, the Japanese troops who have no bait will naturally retreat."

The deputy chief of staff understood and said, "I'll make arrangements now."

The brigade headquarters of the [-]th Brigade, as soon as the headquarters ordered to kill the Yamazaki Brigade came, the brigade commander and the chief of staff began to formulate a combat plan.

"Our total strength is more than six times that of Yamazaki's brigade. Thanks to Kongjie, the firepower advantage is also on our side... Whether it is reckless or tricky, we are [-]% sure to kill them!" The brigade commander looked at Maps are analyzed with confidence.

"The battle of Lijiapo is easy to fight, but the difficult thing is to prevent the enemy from reinforcing!" replied the chief of staff.

"This matter was highlighted in the order given to us by the headquarters!"

"What we need to guard against the most is the Yangquan Fourth Mixed Brigade. They can kill Lijiapo in fifteen or sixteen hours of rapid march!"

"Lijiapo's terrain is dangerous, and it's a place that's easy to defend but hard to attack!"

"It takes time for us to mobilize troops, prepare before the battle, launch a general offensive, and clean up the battlefield..."

"We still need to be prepared for the little devil's air attack in the middle. I estimate that fifteen hours will definitely not be able to end the battle. We need to allow some more time for possible accidents. We must arrange a capable force to help."

"Let Kong Jie's independent regiment go to stop it!" The brigade commander ordered firmly.

"The independent regiment has the strongest foundation, excellent equipment, and sufficient ammunition. They are the only ones in our brigade that can afford a war of attrition!"

"The Seventh Seventh Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment are attacking Lijiapo head-on..."

"Li Yunlong's new second regiment has not been formed for a long time, and it will serve as a reserve team for the time being..."

As soon as the telegram from Major Yamazaki arrived at the First Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, the war room became extremely lively.

Shinozuka Yoshio personally sits in command and attaches great importance to this battle.

"Report to your Excellency, the Yamazaki Brigade has built a circular fortification in Lijiapo. As long as the military department airdrops ammunition and supplies to them and provides air support at any time, he is confident that he will stick to it for more than five days." The communications staff ran over as soon as they received the telegram from the Yamazaki Brigade. report.

"Yoxi... Yamazaki-kun is worthy of being an excellent commander from mainland China, and he accidentally created such a good fighter for us!" Yoshio Shinozuka was very satisfied with Major Yamazaki's arrangement and couldn't help but praise.

"Call Yamazaki-kun right away... As long as he cooperates with the First Army to kill the main force of the Eighth Route Army, I will personally go to the Front Army Command to give him credit!"

"Is there any news about aerial reconnaissance? How many Eighth Route Army troops are rushing to Lijiapo now!"

"At least three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army! Including their so-called local troops, the total strength exceeds [-]!"

"Yoxi!" Shinozuka Yoshio became happier the more he listened, seeing the subordinates in the war room happily ordering.

"We used to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, and killing hundreds of them in World War I was a big victory..."

"This time our opponent has [-] people. If we kill them, the situation in Shanxi will become more and more favorable to us!"

"I hope everyone will stick to their posts, do their own thing well, and destroy all the Eighth Route Army gathered around Lijiapo!"

"Who is in charge of contacting the air force? Immediately arrange for the plane to drop ammunition supplies to the Yamazaki Brigade..."

"The air force needs to prepare three planes to take off at any time to reinforce Li Jiapo!"

A major staff officer immediately stood up and took orders: "I'll make arrangements now!"

"Who is responsible for contacting the reinforcements!" Shinozuka Yoshio continued to ask while looking at the subordinates in the war room.

The two combat staff officers immediately stood up and waited for the order.

"Which of our reinforcements is closest to the Lijiapo battlefield, how long will it take to kill it?"

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the [-]th Mixed Brigade stationed in Yangquan is the closest to the battlefield!"

"Three infantry brigades were stationed in Yangquan, and we arranged for two infantry brigades to march quickly to reinforce Lijiapo... Everything went well, and they could reach the battlefield within fifteen hours!" A combat staff officer pointed to the sand table and introduced.

"How long will it take for the second reinforcements to reach Yangquan!" Shinozuka Yoshio continued to ask!

"At least twenty-five hours!" The combat staff replied.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned immediately: "There is a problem here. The reinforcements sent by Yangquan are too few to encircle the Eighth Route Army on their own. The Eighth Route Army must be held back for ten hours until the second reinforcements arrive. Encircle the Eighth Route Army!"

"They only have two infantry brigades, and Yamazaki's brigade is less than [-] people. If the Eighth Route Army breaks through desperately, can they hold back?"

"If we can't do it, our operation is likely to end without a problem!"

"It's hard!" A staff officer answered honestly.

"Lijiapo is in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base, they are more familiar with the terrain than us!"

"If you don't have a certain force advantage, it's really hard to hold them back!"

Another staff officer was very embarrassed to remind: "But there are only three infantry brigades in Yangquan County..."

"If we continue to deploy troops to reinforce Lijiapo, Yangquan will become an empty city, too dangerous!"

Shinozuka Yoshio interrupted suddenly: "Apart from the three infantry brigades of the Fourth Brigade, are there any other troops in Yangquan County?"

The combat staff officer had already figured out the Yangquan garrison before mobilizing troops. Looking at Yoshio Shinozuka, he replied without any pressure: "There is also a military police squadron, a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, and a mountain artillery squadron..."

"According to the order of the military department, the Mountain Artillery Squadron will reinforce Li Jiapo together!"

"The [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has an artillery battalion equipped with a large number of infantry artillery and mountain artillery. The reinforcements must have enough artillery fire to suppress them."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded his head and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a minute, I raised my head and started giving orders!

"Order the three infantry brigades stationed in Yangquan to reinforce Lijiapo, and the Shanpao Squadron will also be brought along!"

"Although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army is very poor, it is no problem to defend the city!"

"The Gendarmerie Squadron stayed in Yangquan to supervise the battle, so there must be no problem with safety!"

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army has already gathered in the Lijiapo area. At most, there are some local troops and guerrillas left near Yangquan. We must not threaten the safety of Yangquan!"

The chief of staff on the side agreed deeply: "I agree with the commander's analysis!"
