The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 201 The most dangerous place is the safest place (second update)

On the Xingling Highlands, I saw that the counter-offensive troops were so powerful that they strangled the devils on the defensive position in one attack.

The surviving Japanese army only persisted for less than three minutes before they began to be defeated. The counterattack troops scattered and chased down the remnants of the devils like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves. Kong Jie finally relaxed his clenched fists.

He took a long breath and ordered: "Let the counterattack troops not chase too far..."

"I only give you one hour to clean the battlefield, and we will continue to intersperse Jinzhong after one hour!"

"Head, I have a different opinion!" Huang Yu who came in a hurry happened to hear Kong Jie's order, and objected without hesitation!
"I'm going to contact the troops not to leave tonight, I'll hide near Xingling to rest, and I can spare a little time to train the troops by the way..."

Seeing Kong Jie looking at him with a puzzled face, Huang Yu immediately explained!
"No matter where we hide, at dawn, the Japanese army will send aviation troops to look for us everywhere and bomb us!"

"If we don't want to be bombed, we must be caught by surprise, so that the devils can't figure out where we are hiding!"

"In the eyes of the devils, after we kill the pursuers, we will definitely leave the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by their reinforcements in Xingling."

"After dawn, the little devils who are looking for us everywhere will definitely not search for Xingling."

"We went in the opposite direction and hid around Xingling to rest. Anyway, there are no little devils in the Japanese-occupied area that could threaten us. The troops took this opportunity to train well and set off when it gets dark tomorrow..."

As soon as Kong Jie heard it, his heart was moved: "It's good to use it by surprise!"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. The devils definitely don't think that we will hide under their noses to repair!"

"Since the breakout, the main force has lost a lot, and the ratio of recruits in many teams has exceeded [-]%!"

"Although the recruits have all experienced recruit training, and some have even been on the battlefield, they can be used as veterans!"

"But in war, it is the overall combat effectiveness, not the individual."

"Only by allowing recruits to integrate into the army as soon as possible can the main force recover its combat effectiveness."

"If you can spare a little time to integrate them, it will be absolutely beneficial and harmless."

"Our rapid march is faster than many troops. When the soldiers recharge their spirits, replenish their equipment and ammunition, and march again tomorrow night, it will be easy to get back the journey that was delayed tonight!"

"I think this method is very feasible!"

Li Wensheng followed suit and nodded: "I also agree with Staff Officer Huang's proposal..."

Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Then this matter is settled like this!"

"The troops will withdraw from the battlefield in one hour, and use the battalion as a unit to find a temporary station in the surrounding area, set up camp and rest on the spot, and set off tomorrow night!"

"The guard battalion will set off in one hour, advance along the road for at least [-] kilometers, and find a camp by yourself to set up a secret camp."

"When we left, the momentum was louder, and the devils would mistakenly think that the main force of the regiment had left Xingling!"

At the headquarters of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Yangquan, Major General Miyazawa was pacing back and forth in the war room, anxiously waiting for the latest news from the front line!
They received a good news from Matsushima Osamu half an hour ago: the return troops successfully blocked the Independence Regiment, surrounded them in Xingling, and were launching an attack.

Half an hour passed, and Colonel Matsushima hadn't sent any message back.

Major General Miyazawa wanted the operator to send a telegram to Colonel Matsushima more than once to ask about the latest battle situation...but he held back at the last moment.

Generals who lead troops are most taboo to send telegrams to front-line commanders in battle, put pressure on them under the pretext of asking about the battle situation, and even command troops by leapfrogging.

Major General Miyazawa is a very good senior commander, but he was unlucky. After encountering the independent regiment, he lost a few battles, but he is still very strong in other aspects... He will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

As they walked, Chief of Staff Harada Nakasa was the first to lose his composure: "General, the encirclement and annihilation campaign has been going on for more than half an hour!"

"We have three infantry brigades, and the opponent is just a reinforced regiment that has been disabled. No matter how strong the combat power is, it cannot be our opponent!"

"I think the captain of the Songdo United has stabilized the overall situation even if he didn't wipe out his opponents. Why don't we send him a telegram to ask."

Major General Miyazawa originally wanted to refuse, trying not to disturb the frontline commanders during the battle.

But what Harada Nakazuo said was very reasonable. As long as Mr. Matsushima stabilized the overall situation, the headquarters would send them a telegram without any impact. He himself also wanted to contact the front line.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he ordered decisively: "Contact Colonel Matsushima immediately and ask about the battle situation!"

"Hai..."

Harada Nakasa couldn't wait a long time ago, and rushed to the telecommunications room as soon as he replied...

From this moment on, Major General Miyazawa's eyes also shifted to the door of the telecommunications room, and he didn't turn away until Harada Nakasa came back in a hurry.

But it was already ten minutes later.

Moreover, Nakasa Harada, who rushed out of the war room, was not as happy as he imagined, with a sad face, as if he had encountered some major event.

Major General Miyazawa took a look and a bad premonition flashed in his mind, he asked anxiously, "Have you contacted Colonel Matsushima, how is the battle going on at the front line, is there something wrong?"

Harada Nakasa frowned and hesitated for a while before reporting: "General, we can't get in touch with Matsushima..."

"All other radio stations equipped by the return aid troops have also lost contact!"

"The humble staff suspects that something happened to them, but they can't figure out why!"

"The Independence Regiment defeated our three brigades in a row last night, losing troops and losing generals, and their morale was low... No matter how you analyze it, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Reinforcement Army..."

"Master Matsushima has confirmed to us that the Independence Regiment is surrounded in Xingling, and it is impossible to escape... It shows that the advantage on the battlefield is in their hands, let alone accidents!"

"The reinforcements are numerous and powerful!"

"In case of any accident, it is impossible not to even have the opportunity to send a telegram!"

"Could it be that there is a problem with their radio station?" A staff officer analyzed.

"So it's impossible for three or four radio stations to have problems at the same time?" Another staff officer retorted.

"Is it possible that the independent regiment is equipped with some new weapons that can interfere with the radio connection between us and the reinforcements!" The staff officer who spoke just now made another bold guess.

If this idea is put in normal times, Major General Miyazawa will definitely say that he is talking nonsense.

The equipment of the Eighth Route Army was simple, and even the rifles were not available to each man. How could it be possible to have advanced weapons that no one had heard of.

But at this moment, Major General Miyazawa hesitated.

Harada Nakazuo's analysis just now is clear and logical. The independent regiment really does not have the strength to eat up the returning troops in one bite.

It is a fact that the return troops lost contact, and it is impossible for the radio station to be destroyed at the same time.

Except that the radio signal was interfered and the communication between the two parties was interrupted, Major General Miyazawa really couldn't think of any other reasons to explain this matter.

Harada Nakazuo hesitated for a moment and said: "General, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army mainly comes from the battlefields. The imperial army is not equipped with such weapons, and they have no way to equip them if they want to!"

"I think there must have been an accident on the Xingling battlefield that we don't know about. We should immediately send someone to the battlefield to collect information!"

"Cough cough..."

Major General Miyazawa immediately realized how ridiculous his hesitation was just now, and quickly coughed to cover up the embarrassment on his face, and opened his mouth to order: "The independent regiment will never be equipped with more advanced weapons than the imperial army!"

"I think Harada-kun's analysis is correct!"

"Immediately contact the strongholds and artillery towers around Xingling: Not only will they continue to build a blockade, but they will also send people deep into Xingling to find out what happened to the reinforcements and the independent regiment. The sooner the better!"

Brigadier Chen is leading the brigade department to move in the dark.

At one o'clock in the morning, he decided to let the troops take a break before moving forward. By the way, he turned on the radio to confirm the latest status of the headquarters, division headquarters, and the independent regiment!
"The brigade commander... the headquarters and the division headquarters are in contact... very safe!" Chief of Staff Zhou was very happy to report.

"They are breaking out as planned. As long as we stop the devils from sweeping up the troops, their backs will be safe."

"Where is Kong Jie's independent regiment?" The brigade commander continued to ask.

"Their safety is related to whether our anti-sweep can defeat the little devils at the least cost, and it is related to the length of time for the entire anti-sweep. There must be no mistakes!"

Chief of Staff Zhou's face immediately became very serious: "Still contacting them!"

"Looking at the time, the Independence Regiment has already arrived at Xingling, where they are fighting a decisive battle with the devil's reinforcements!"

"I don't know Comrade Kong Jie's fighting style, but he has always been steady. If he is not sure, he will definitely not fight this battle. I believe in him!"

Fifteen minutes later, there was finally movement from the operator.

Chief of Staff Zhou ran directly behind the operator, and he read every word the operator wrote...

After just looking at it for a minute, the face blossomed with joy.

After the operator received the telegram, before he could speak, the telegram in his hand was snatched by Chief of Staff Zhou.

Xing hurriedly ran to the brigade commander to report.

"good news!"

"Brigade Commander, Comrade Kong Jie did what he said...they really killed the little devil's reinforcements..."

"There were more than [-] Japanese soldiers, but less than [-] escaped by chance...the rest were wiped out by the independent regiment..."

"Leading the joint captain, the three captains, none of them slipped through the net, and they were all killed."

"Is the loss of the independent regiment too big? Will it affect their raid on Jinzhong!" the brigade commander asked anxiously.

"The direct loss is less than [-] people!" Chief of Staff Zhou reported!
"Six to one casualties, how is this possible?" The brigade commander asked in surprise.

Chief of Staff Zhou continued to report: "Do you know how many shells they fired in the battle?"

"A total of more than two thousand rounds... One shell killed a devil, and they also wiped out two infantry brigades!"

"I don't know the specific battle process, but judging from the number of shells they consumed. In the battle of Xingling, the independent regiment should have defeated the little devil with its superior firepower!"

The brigade commander waved his hand and said: "Don't care about their fighting style, as long as you kill the devils and return to the reinforcements, they will have no opponents in the enemy-occupied area, and finally they can safely and boldly move towards Jinzhong!"

"Call Kong Jie back immediately... I don't worry about other issues... The only thing I can't let go of is the devil's air support... Please make sure to prepare for air defense during interspersed operations, and don't be targeted by the Japanese air force!"
