The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 234 Yoshio Shinozuka's Worst Plan (Part [-])
"The New First Regiment of the [-]th Brigade, the New Second Regiment... More than [-] Eighth Route Army, carrying a large amount of weapons and ammunition, disappeared from our field of vision in two groups?" Shinozuka Yoshio walked quickly to the side of the sand table, staring at the intelligence chief ask.

"Where is the exact location where they disappeared? Do you know which direction they went?"

The person in charge of intelligence pointed to the sand table and introduced: "Disappeared in the northwest direction of Jinzhong!"

"When they left, they took away all the weapons and ammunition that the Independent Regiment had seized from us!"

"Each regiment is equipped with six mountain artillery and infantry artillery, ten or twenty mortars, and ten or twenty heavy machine guns!"

"In terms of firepower, each regiment is equipped with twice as many heavy weapons as our infantry brigade..."

"The humble official suspects that the independent regiment attacking Zhujiapo is the posing of these two regiments!"

"Let us mistakenly think that there is no main force of the independent regiment in the outer city of Taiyuan, and take the opportunity to set up an ambush to wipe out our counterattack force!"

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, and remained silent for a while before opening his mouth: "It would be great if the Eighth Route Army's target was only the counterattack troops in the inner city! I'm worried that their target is to reinforce Zhujiapo's two brigades!"

"The two regiments left Jinzhong in two ways, and they disappeared in the direction of Zhujiapo. It seemed like an ambush!"

"Immediately contact the two infantry brigades to reinforce Zhujiapo..."

"There are still two regiments of the Eighth Route Army active in Taiyuan, let them strengthen their guard to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing them on the road!"

The chief of staff felt that Yoshio Shinozuka was a little too worried.

Even if there are two more regiments of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the independent regiment.

The two reinforcements are large brigades, well-equipped and powerful, and they are absolutely impossible to kill.

But the commander's order must be carried out, so he ran towards the telecommunications room decisively.

Ten minutes passed, and the chief of staff did not return to the war room.

Twenty minutes passed, and the chief of staff who ran to the telecommunications room hadn't come back.

A bad premonition flashed in Shinozuka Yoshio's heart, and he was just about to go to the telecommunications room in person, when the hurried figure of the chief of staff appeared at the door of the war room.

Seeing Yoshio Shinozuka, he was very anxious to report: "Your Excellency Commander...we can't contact the two reinforcements..."

"Judging from the time, they are rushing to Zhujiapo, and they can't turn on the radio to respond to us!"

"I hope so!" Yoshio Shinozuka's bad premonition grew stronger and he looked at the chief of staff with a solemn expression.

After speaking, he turned his eyes to the sand table again, frowned and fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking?
A minute later, he suddenly raised his head and ordered: "If you can't contact the reinforcements, contact the Kishiya Brigade that is defending Zhujiapo...Ask him about the battle situation there!"

"The operator continues to contact the two reinforcements, and report immediately if there is any news!"

The chief of staff rushed to the telecommunications room again, this time staying longer than before.

It took a full half an hour to return to Shinozuka Yoshio's side. From the increasingly solemn expression on his face, it can be seen that their contact just now was not smooth, or the news they received after contacting was not good.

"What's going on?" Yoshio Shinozuka was very anxious, and asked anxiously before the chief of staff could speak.

"The situation on the Zhujiapo defense line is very critical!" the chief of staff reported with his head down.

"Kishiya-kun reports: They have lost the first line of defense and are trying their best to defend the second line of defense."

"But the independent regiment's offensive fire was too fierce, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. The two brigades who asked for reinforcements must reach the battlefield within half an hour, otherwise the Zhujiapo defense line will definitely be lost!"

"How could the situation of the battle deteriorate so quickly... A full-staffed infantry battalion is holding on to the position, and it can't even hold it for three hours. What is Kishiya-kun doing?" Shinozuka Yoshio was angry and puzzled, and opened his mouth to curse. .

The chief of staff shook his head and explained: "Kishitani-san didn't explain it in the call back to us, and the humble position is not clear!"

"But you should be able to guess a rough idea!"

"The Eighth Route Army assembled [-] to [-] artillery pieces to launch an attack. The Kishitani Battalion's defense position is a temporary civil engineering construction, which can't stop the mountain artillery attack at all!"

"As long as the Eighth Route Army has sufficient ammunition, it is absolutely possible to use artillery fire to level the blocking position and then attack!"

"If I were Kishitani-kun, facing such an enemy, I would have no way to break the situation. I can only fight with my opponent!"

"Baga... bang..." Yoshio Shinozuka slammed his fists hard at the sand table, cursing unwillingly.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no other way to break the situation, so he can only reply: "Tell Mr. Kishitani that the reinforcements are coming soon, please insist!"

"Stick to the ground, and the Eighth Route Army is not allowed to pass through the Zhujiapo defense line!"

After finishing speaking, he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "Have you not contacted the reinforcements yet?"

Seeing the chief of staff shaking his head, Shinozuka Yoshio wanted to get angry again, but before he could speak, the intelligence officer suddenly appeared at the door and hurried towards him, before he arrived, he reported solemnly: "Your Excellency, Commander!"

"There was intense gunfire from Tanjialing, northwest of Zhujiapo... It's been going on for almost half an hour, and it's not over yet!"

"There are also gunshots coming from the hilly area southwest of Zhujiapo..."

"Intelligence personnel have already rushed to the battlefield, and if there is any news, we must report it as soon as possible!"

"Tan Jialing!" Yoshio Shinozuka said while looking for the specific location on the sand table.

The combat staff officer on the side was the first to find it: "Here... is the only way for a reinforcement force to rush to Zhujiapo... Could it be that they were attacked in the Tanjialing area!"

Another combat staff officer went on to report: "The hilly area reported by the intelligence department is the only way for another reinforcement to rush to Zhujiapo... They must have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army on the march!"

"This hill is the most suitable for ambushes. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has set up a pocket formation here!"

"It's over!" Shinozuka Yoshio said with a look of despair.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the two reinforcements must be the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment... The Eighth Route Army wants to encircle and attack the reinforcements, eat up our two reinforcements... and then attack each of them to break through the four blockades we have set up! "

"In this way, we, who lost the outflanking troops, can only be beaten passively... just watch the Eighth Route Army go all the way back to their base!"

The chief of staff felt that the commander's guess was too bold and unbelievable, so he hesitated to remind: "Your Excellency Commander...does the Eighth Route Army have such a big appetite?"

"The new first regiment and the new second regiment only have more than [-] people in total, and our two brigades have more than [-] people in total. The opponent doesn't even have twice the strength advantage. How dare we wipe out us!"

"They don't worry that the reinforcements' bones are too hard and they knock out their own teeth!"

"Worry about the fart!" Yoshio Shinozuka scolded angrily.

"Didn't you hear the introduction from the intelligence department?"

"When the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment left Jinzhong, they took a large amount of heavy weapons with them. Each regiment was equipped with more than [-] artillery pieces, nearly [-] heavy machine guns, and countless ammunition!"

"The reason why we often took advantage of the Eighth Route Army in the past... Their poor equipment and lack of ammunition is a big factor!"

"Now their equipment is better than the reinforcements, and they have more ammunition than the reinforcements... How can they not win!"

"Choose the terrain well, just hitting the reinforcements with shells can severely damage the reinforcements..."

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army... I thought they wanted to severely damage the garrison in Taiyuan's inner city, but I didn't expect them to have such a big appetite. They wanted to eat up two reinforcement troops in one bite, break through Zhujiapo by the way, and severely damage the counterattack troops sent out from Taiyuan's inner city. Kill three birds with one stone!"

The chief of staff was confused by Yoshio Shinozuka after a few words.

Immediately, a bewildered expression appeared on his face, and he asked anxiously, "Your Excellency, what should we do next?"

"The intelligence department will immediately find out whether the two reinforcements really encountered an accident!" Yoshio Shinozuka ordered with a serious face.By the way, add a sentence to the intelligence chief: "Your performance has been very good these two days!"

"If you can take the blame and do meritorious service, keep a close eye on the Taiyuan arsenal equipment that the main force of the Eighth Route Army took with them, cooperate with the main force to wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and regain those military equipment, I will personally give you credit!"

After confessing the last sentence, Shinozuka Yoshio turned his attention to the chief of staff.

"Not surprisingly, the three brigades attacked tonight will be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army!"

"But if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred!"

"Even if they are equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns, their own casualties are not too small."

"My judgment: the total strength of the three regiments will drop sharply to about [-]!"

"If they join forces, we will continue to divide our forces and defend the three lines of defense."

"With the level of firepower of the three regiments, they will definitely be able to break through each of them and break through our three blockade lines in a row."

"I decided to change the original containment plan..."

"The troops defending the first and third defense lines are all transferred to the blockade line on the second day, and all troops and firepower are concentrated to block the Eighth Route Army!"

"Drop four brigades from the front line to reinforce the second blockade line!"

"As long as the second blockade line lasts for two days, the follow-up reinforcements will be able to encircle the Eighth Route Army and fight them there!"

The chief of staff was immediately overwhelmed by the commander's quick response, and said with admiration: "Three infantry brigades are sticking to a blockade line, and the defense force has three squadrons of Guangshan field artillery, and there are three squadrons of mortars, and three squadrons of mortars. Heavy Machine Gun Squadron!"

"It's set up, and it's no problem to fight an artillery battle with the Eighth Route Army!"

"If we can strike first and destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery unit and heavy machine gun unit, no matter how hard they try, they won't be able to break through our blockade!"

"Humble job, make arrangements now!"

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head and said, "Wait a minute!"

"The arrangement just now is the worst plan!"

"Although we judge that the three brigades that are fighting the Eighth Route Army are likely to be wiped out... But before receiving the specific battle report, any accident may happen! In case one of the three brigades turns defeat into victory, the next layout It's different!"

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
