The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

In the Baipogou Independent Regiment Headquarters, Huang Yu felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room as soon as he entered the door.

Captain Kong Jie and Chief of Staff Li Wensheng all frowned, staring at the sand table without saying a word...

Several staff officers also stood by with sullen faces, discussing a few words in a low voice from time to time, but all ended up sighing...

"Regiment leader... this battle is impossible to fight!" Li Wensheng complained, throwing the pencil in his hand on the table.

"The Japanese and puppet troops are strong and well-prepared, and they have defeated all the anti-sweeping methods we can use. I can't think of other ways to hold the base!"

"If it doesn't work, let's follow what the boss said, break it up into parts, and go into the mountains to fight guerrillas against the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Let's go out to recover our strength after the raid is over!"

Kong Jie's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, obviously he didn't think of a good way to break the situation.But as soon as Li Wensheng uttered his idea, he retorted without hesitation: "We don't even think about this idea!"

"It is true that the army can be broken up into pieces and hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese and puppet troops..."

"What about the common people in the base area? There are hundreds of thousands of people. It's impossible to go into the valley with us to fight guerrillas, right?"

"If you don't care about it and throw them to the little devils, the enemy will definitely vent their anger on them, and they will suffer in the end!"

"We finally opened up the situation in Northwest Shanxi and gained the support and trust of the local people!"

"If they are really thrown to the Japanese puppet army, the morale of the army and the people will definitely disappear!"

"The results of previous efforts will also be wiped out!"

"If we want the local people to believe us and support us, it will be even more difficult!"

Li Wensheng frowned and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Could it be that we really stayed in the base area to confront the Japanese and puppet troops head-on?"

"The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, fighting like this is tantamount to asking for death!"

Kong Jie hesitated for a while before saying firmly: "As long as the local people can be protected well and their morale and morale can be preserved, it will be worthwhile if the troops are exhausted!"

"Commander, chief of staff, what's the matter?" Huang Yu was puzzled and asked quickly.

"This is the enemy situation report that the headquarters just forwarded to us... Yoshio Shinozuka's big sweep against us has already begun, you will know it after reading it!" Kong Jie said while pushing the information on the table to Huang Yu.

"Twenty-five thousand Japanese puppet troops, so many?" Huang Yu was startled by the string of numbers at the beginning when he picked up the telegram, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Kong Jie then said: "Not only are there a large number of troops, but also a large number of artillery units and half a month's supply of ammunition!"

"Preliminary judgment, the enemy is the first to sweep up our independent regiment..."

"Boss and the others think: [-]% of the heavy artillery carried by the Japanese army is prepared for our army's bunker!"

"As much as half a month's ammunition supply is to prevent us from cutting off their logistics supply line!"

"If they don't divide their forces after entering the base area, and don't give us a chance to defeat them individually..."

"Then our three most commonly used anti-sweep methods will all be ineffective!"

"I've been discussing with the chief of staff for half an hour, but I still don't have any clues, and I haven't thought of a good way to break the situation!"

Huang Yu didn't answer, just stared at the map after reading the information, and suddenly asked after two minutes: "Can you get the specific battle plan for the little devils to sweep us?"

Kong Jie shook his head: "It's hard to get a specific battle plan, but you can guess from the direction the Japanese and puppet troops are marching!"

"About [-] Japanese puppet troops went straight to the joint between us and the Xinyi Regiment and Xin[-] Regiment, cutting off our contact and preventing them from sending reinforcements to us!"

"The remaining [-] Japanese and puppet soldiers divided into three groups and swept across our base along three roads!"

"There are [-] people sweeping the troops along the way, equipped with large-caliber mountain artillery, heavy mortars, field artillery, infantry artillery, and ordinary mortars!"

"With the current strength of the Independent Regiment, concentrating all the troops and firepower will not be able to deal with mopping up the troops all the way!"

"Machine gun bunkers will also be useless in front of heavy artillery and aircraft..."

Huang Yu suddenly interrupted: "Commander, the heavy mountain cannons and large-caliber mortars equipped by the devils can indeed easily destroy the dark fort, but this does not mean that the dark fort will lose its effect, at most it will weaken the effect of the dark fort, and the effect of killing the enemy will not be as good as before. so nice!"

"If the bunkers are not actively exposed, no matter how many artillery pieces the Japanese army carries, and no matter how much they cover our positions with artillery fire, they will not be able to destroy all the bunkers!"

"As long as one blocking position survives and one bunker... Suddenly joining the battle during blocking can still kill and injure a large number of enemies..."

"And this way of fighting consumes too much ammunition. If we spread the blocking positions and bunkers along the road, it won't take long for them to carry ammunition supplies for half a month!"

"As soon as the artillery shells carried by the army are used up, it will become particularly important to mop up the army's logistics supply depot..."

"It will be useful for us to divide our forces and cut off their logistics supply line!"

"In case this road doesn't work, we can still find a way to destroy the mopping up troops..."

"As long as one of the three mopping-up troops has an accident, the remaining two mopping-up troops will definitely not dare to stay in our base...then the anti-mopping up will win!"

Chief of Staff Li Wensheng interrupted suddenly: "It's easier said than done!"

"If this battle is really so easy to fight, the regiment leader and I won't be frowning here!"

Then tell me what you're worried about...

"About [-] troops were mopped up along the way, including two regiments of second devils, and [-] genuine little devils..."

"Equipped with four large-caliber mountain guns, four large-caliber mortars, four field guns, four infantry guns, and 24 ordinary mortars..."

"There are a total of forty artillery pieces of various types, and they can call for air support at any time, completely suppressing us in terms of firepower."

"In the past, when we ambushed the Japanese and puppet troops, we needed at least twice as many troops to have a chance of winning!"

"Now we have less than [-] people, and all the troops gathered together are only [-] more than the enemy. If we fight hard, the chance of winning is less than [-]%!"

"This method is too risky, it won't work..."

Huang Yu stared at the map and proposed: "What if we use guerrilla warfare, blocking warfare, and mobile warfare to consume the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in advance, and reduce the mopping up troops to [-]?"

"It still doesn't work..." Li Wensheng objected again.

"The main force of the regiment is indeed more than [-] people, but we have to divide our forces to deal with the other two Japanese and puppet troops!"

"At least two reinforcement battalions must be assigned."

"The main force of the regiment can gather at most [-] people to fight the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"The devils mopped up five thousand soldiers all the way... Our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare are indeed very powerful, but it is impossible to turn five thousand Japanese puppet troops into two thousand Japanese puppet troops!"

"The enemy is not a fool. They won't just watch the mopping up troops being consumed by us. They will definitely try their best to counter us!"

"If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. When we consume the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops, we will also suffer casualties..."

"Even if there is a chance to reduce the mopping up troops to [-], the main force of the regiment may be reduced to [-], or even more than [-]..."

"Not only did our advantage not expand, but it decreased a lot!"

"Can you ask Commander Li and Commander Ding to borrow troops!" Huang Yu was not discouraged by the chief of staff's rebuttal, and continued to introduce his thoughts while pointing to the map!

"Our three regiments share weal and woe... As long as the regiment leader asks, it's no problem for each regiment to borrow two battalions!"

Li Wensheng shook his head again and interrupted: "We have thought of the way of borrowing soldiers from the beginning!"

"Captain Li and Commander Ding can indeed send troops to reinforce us... But Yoshio Shinozuka had anticipated this, and arranged in advance for [-] troops to intersect the junction between us, establish a defensive line on the spot, and divide us!"

"With the interspersed forces sent by the Japanese puppet army, the new first regiment and the new second regiment cannot kill our base area, and will consume a lot of strength in the blocking battle. The gain outweighs the loss!"

Huang Yu suddenly picked up a pencil and drew a few circles on the map.

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "This is the only way we must pass to connect the new first regiment and the new second regiment..."

"The Japanese and puppet troops interspersed to cut off our connection and prevent Lao Li and Lao Ding from reinforcing us. We must deploy heavy troops to defend these four points."

"Ten thousand interspersed troops, divided into four groups, there are still [-] people in each point, and the devils are the main ones."

"In case of any danger at one of these four points, the devils will also send reinforcements from other places, and it will be more difficult to break through the blockade..."

"As long as the devil chooses the terrain well, even if two regiments break through the blockade by chance, they will suffer heavy casualties, and there is no way to continue supporting us!"

"Xiao Huang, you marked these four points, it should be more than what I see on the surface!"

Huang Yu nodded and explained: "Regimental Commander, our Eighth Route Army is not a devil, and we don't have so many weapons and ammunition supplies... Not only can we take roads, but we can also drill ravines..."

"These four points are just the only way to go on the road... There must be many small roads nearby that can bypass the blocking position!"

"Captain Li and Commander Ding can completely fight against the devils, sending reinforcements into our base quietly, and their main forces continue to feign attack on the devils' blockade, making Yoshio Shinozuka mistakenly believe that the independent regiment has not received any reinforcements. "

"As long as the two regiments each send a reinforced battalion to reinforce us, we can gather more than [-] people to fight a decisive battle with the devil's mopping up troops!"

"As for the depletion of the Japanese and puppet troops before the decisive battle, if the commander believes in me, I am confident that the casualties will be controlled within [-], and the Japanese and puppet troops will be reduced by more than [-]!"

Once the problem of insufficient troops in the independent regiment is solved, other problems will be solved directly.

Kong Jie's frown finally relaxed, looked at Huang Yu and asked seriously: "There is no joke in the army!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Huang Yu replied firmly.

"Then I'll leave this task to you... just ask for anything you need, and the regiment will support you unconditionally!"

"I'm in charge of contacting Lao Li and Lao Ding. They will definitely cooperate with us unconditionally..."

"The Chief of Staff is ready with [-] rounds of ammunition, [-] grenades and grenades, and [-] shells!"

"Our reinforcements must travel light to drill the ravine, and their ammunition must be provided by us!"
