The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 193 Kong Jie's Confidence (for subscription)
When Kong Jie rushed to Xiaolizhuang with the main force of the regiment, the more than [-] light infantry of the Neishan Brigade had been defeated by the cavalry company...

More than [-] people were killed, and more than [-] people fled in the chaos under the cover of night...

Zhang Dashan did not divide his troops to pursue and kill them.

The task of the cavalry company is to cover the main force of the regiment to pass through Xiao Lizhuang quickly, there is no need to waste time and troops for more than two hundred devils.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the independent group successfully entered the mountain area, preparing to rest here for a day, and continue to move forward after dark!
The brigade headquarters, hundreds of miles away, also stopped and hid in a valley to rest.

Marching during the daytime is too dangerous. If a Devil plane finds out, a few aerial bombs will fall from the sky, and everyone will have nowhere to hide.

The breakout troops basically march at night and find a place to hide and rest during the day...

"Contact the Independent Regiment immediately and ask where they have been... have you arrived at the scheduled latent point on time..." As soon as the brigade radio station was set up, the brigade commander hurriedly ordered.

"Didi...Dididi...Didi..."

The telegraph soon rang, and a few minutes later the operator began to record the telegrams he had received.

After another ten minutes, a telegram full of telegrams appeared in the brigade commander's hand.

"The independent regiment deserves to be an independent regiment. In just one night, it broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army, defeated three infantry brigades, and ran [-] to [-] kilometers, and arrived at the target latent point on time. Our brigade can only do it..." The brigade commander looked relieved.

Chief of Staff Zhou was noncommittal: "Other regiments really don't have this strength... Apart from other things, just marching [-] to [-] kilometers in one night is not something that ordinary troops can do!"

"I heard that the Independence Regiment has specially conducted training in this area... marching [-] kilometers with a heavy load is like a routine!"

"If you have trained well, you will be as confident as them when you encounter a war!"

The brigade commander nodded and replied: "When the anti-sweep is over, we must ask Kong Jie to write a summary of the training methods of the independent regiment..."

"Forward this telegram to the boss immediately...Kong Jie is fine, and we can rest assured that we can sleep well during the day!"

At the headquarters of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Yangquan, Major General Miyazawa did not rest all night, and kept arranging troops to chase and intercept the independent regiment. As a result, no trace of the independent regiment was found until dawn.

"General, we think that the Independence Regiment is secretly lurking in this mountainous area...Although it is a bit unrealistic, this is the only mountain closest to the breakout point. It is impossible to hide thousands of people at once in other places!" Harada Nakazuo pointed to a person on the sand table. Let me introduce, this is indeed the current hiding place of the Independence Group.

"Impossible!" Major General Miyazawa vetoed with a face full of disbelief, staring at a pair of big eyes.

"The Independence Regiment started to break through at around [-]:[-] last night, and was stopped by the Kurokawa Brigade for an hour or two in the middle. The time available for marching was less than ten hours..."

"I almost forgot, the Uchiyama Brigade also fought against the Independence Regiment, losing more than [-] people!"

"Based on this calculation, the actual marching time of the Independent Regiment is less than nine hours!"

"The mountain you're looking at is more than [-] kilometers away from the breakthrough point of the independent regiment, which means that the independent regiment has to march [-] times in nine hours to attack, and the average march is at least seven kilometers per hour."

"They don't have cars, they all march on two legs, and they have to carry a lot of luggage, ammunition, and wounded..."

"Heavenly soldiers and generals can't run so fast!"

Harada Nakazuo argued: "But apart from this big mountain, there is really no place around to hide so many troops!"

Major General Miyazawa shook his head and said: "No... There are still many places along the road where soldiers can hide, but you have ignored them!"

Seeing the head of the brigade staring at the villages and towns on the sand table, Harada Nakazuo immediately showed a disbelieving expression: "General, you don't mean the villages and towns along the road?"

"Can't you?" Major General Miyazawa asked back.

"All the troops hid in the houses and sealed off the village secretly, only allowed to enter but not to exit... As long as the village is a little bigger, there is no problem hiding a main force group!"

Harada Nakazuo's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the brigade head's analysis was more reasonable than his own judgment just now.

He also felt that it was impossible to march [-] kilometers with a heavy load in nine hours, but he couldn't find any other hiding places, so he settled for the next best thing, thinking that the independent group was hiding in the mountains [-] kilometers away.

After listening to the brigade leader's analysis, Harada Nakazuo immediately overturned the unrealistic ideas in his mind, and felt that the brigade leader's analysis was more reasonable.

Immediately suggested: "I will contact the aviation army now and let them focus on investigating the villages along the highway about [-] kilometers away from the breakout point, and ask the surrounding garrisons to also send scouts and intelligence personnel to find the independent regiment's breakout force!"

"General Huanxi dispatched an infantry regiment from the mopping up force to help the occupied area."

"After discovering the breakout troops of the Independent Regiment, encircle them immediately and wipe them out!"

Major General Gong Ze did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "How many troops did we lose last night, and how many troops are left on the front line?"

"The Kagawa Brigade, which was attacked first, was almost completely wiped out, and only the eighty or so imperial troops below Kagawa Nakazuo survived!" Harada Nakazuo reported solemnly.

"The Kurokawa Battalion was severely damaged by the Independent Regiment, and there is only one infantry squadron left..."

"The Uchiyama brigade lost nearly three infantry squadrons...the heavy machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron were intact!"

"There is still a checkpoint and two gun towers along the road, and a reinforcement team is lost..."

"A total of more than [-] imperial troops were lost, and two battalions of the imperial association army... also lost a large number of light and heavy weapons!"

"Including the ambush, there are still six full-staffed infantry brigades left in the front-line sweeping force, one infantry brigade that was disabled, and two regiments of the Royal Association Army..."

"If we send an infantry regiment back to help, there will be more than [-] people left in the frontline sweeping force!"

"Judging from the battle situation last night, the main force of the independent regiment has all broken through, and only some local troops and guerrillas are left in the base area. The combat effectiveness is very poor!"

"The sweeping force of more than [-] people will definitely wipe them all out!"

Major General Miyazawa considered for a while and continued to ask: "How many people are left in the breakout force of the Independent Regiment?"

"They have such strong combat effectiveness and are equipped with a large number of artillery. It would be a little too little to send only one wing back to the occupied area!"

"Humble job is enough!" Harada Nakazuo continued to answer.

Quickly go through the explanations in my mind, and then analyze them one by one: "Information shows that the independent regiment has a main battalion, a guard battalion, and several regiments directly under the regiment..."

"We calculate based on [-] people in a main battalion, and the total strength of the independent regiment should be around [-]!"

"During the counterattack against the Kagawa Brigade, more than [-] corpses from the Independence Regiment remained..."

"During the raid on the Kurokawa Brigade, over [-] corpses from the Independence Regiment..."

"In the battle to defeat the Uchiyama Brigade, more than [-] corpses from the Independence Regiment were left behind!"

"In the three major battles, more than a thousand people were killed in the independent regiment. After subtracting the wounded, there are at most sixteen or seven hundred people left!"

"The army is exhausted, morale is low, and combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!"

"We use twice the strength to encircle and annihilate them, and we are at least [-]% sure of winning!"

"The environment they are in is also very favorable to us!"

"This is the area occupied by the imperial army, and all major traffic arteries and important towns have our artillery towers and strongholds!"

"Our eyeliner is all over the villages... As long as they dare to come out and move around, they won't be able to escape our pursuit."

"On the other hand, the independent group, without the support of the common people, can only run around like headless chickens!"

"When they hit their heads and are exhausted, the time for a decisive battle will come!"

Harada Nakasa's analysis was straightforward, and Major General Miyazawa couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he was persuaded by Harada Nakasa after listening.

After thinking for a while, he began to issue an order: "Just do as you said, and send three brigades back to the defense area to encircle and wipe out the breakout troops of the independent regiment!"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Kong Jie regained his energy as soon as he woke up, and began to look through all the information received by the troops in the morning.

"The devil plane has been investigating several villages fifteen kilometers away from us?" Kong Jie pulled out a piece of information and asked very interestedly.

Li Wensheng explained: "It should be that the little devils don't believe that the Independence Regiment can march sixty-five kilometers in one night to hide in the mountains. They think we are hiding in a village more than ten kilometers away, so they focus on investigating that area!"

"Are we going to do more things that the devils can't imagine?" Kong Jie replied happily.

"Only in this way can we escape the retaliatory attack of the Japanese and puppet troops by surprise, and suddenly appear outside the city of Jinzhong!"

"Is there any other news...especially about the Japanese and puppet troops mopping up troops!"

"We successfully crossed the blockade, killed a brigade, severely injured a brigade, and defeated a brigade. With the character of devils who must retaliate, we will definitely not remain indifferent."

"Our goal is to force the Japanese and puppet troops to return to their occupied areas. In addition to attacking Jinzhong, we also need to eliminate some of their troops, so that the devils will pay attention!"

"Last night, I wanted to kill the devils and return the carbine, let the cavalry cooperate with the artillery, and severely damage an infantry brigade!"

"Time is too tight, I have to stop this idea."

"After passing the mountain at the foot, we will pass the place where we can help the troops!"

"If there are still little devils chasing and killing them, I don't mind fighting a few more battles on the interspersed road and killing them!"

"From now on, all our scouts must be sent out, focusing on what's behind us!"

Li Wensheng seemed to disagree a little, and immediately objected: "Commander, we went deep into the enemy-occupied area alone, and the common people here didn't help us, so the army is like a blind man!"

"There is no way to hide my tracks, it's too dangerous!"

"We definitely can't stay in the same place for too long, don't give the devils a chance to encircle us!"

"I suggest that we should fight less wars, intersperse to Jinzhong as soon as possible, and win Jinzhong!"

"This is the safest way!"

Kong Jie replied confidently: "The chief of staff is too cautious!"

"All the troops left by the Japanese army around us add up to only one brigade. Relying on the gun towers and strongholds to defend, there is still a chance to survive from us!"

"If they seek death by themselves, abandon their strongholds and gun towers, and take the initiative to attack the independent regiment, I don't mind eating them!"

"The only thing that can threaten our safety is the sweeping force..."

"But if I let the scouts focus on our back, the raiding troops returning to the rescue will not be able to escape our eyes, so there will be no chance to encircle us?"

"Besides, the Independent Regiment is strong and strong, with eight Guangshan cannons and infantry cannons, ten or twenty mortars, and a total force of more than [-] people... Even two infantry brigades can't do anything to us. "
