The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

At [-] o'clock in the evening, General Ando gathered all the captains and squadron leaders in his tent as usual, summed up the battle damage, learned lessons, and discussed tomorrow's tactics and attack goals...

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had made a big mistake.

"Captain, today we took down three blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army again!" the adjutant reported carefully.

"Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the attacking troops did not encounter any resistance, and the battle ended easily!"

"The Feilei cannon that hit us hard yesterday has never appeared again. It must have been scared away by our artillery!"

"On the march, the vanguard troops encountered 16 minefields in total, and 58 people were killed and injured by landmines..."

"Very good!" Hearing this, Colonel Ando thought that the adjutant's report was over, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his calm face.

"In the past few days, our losses have been getting smaller and smaller... It shows that the independent regiment is at the end of its rope under the attack of our army's powerful artillery fire!"

"As long as we maintain this attack rhythm and continue to sweep, don't underestimate the enemy, don't rush forward alone, don't divide the troops, and don't worry about consuming ammunition, we will definitely be able to take down Baipogou at the lowest cost and wipe out the independent regiment!"

Seeing Mr. Ando getting happier as he talked, the adjutant really didn't want to disturb his good mood.

But the data on the statistical list had to be reported, and after struggling for a while, he bit his bullet and continued: "The captain...except for the casualties caused by landmines... there are still some casualties that have not been reported..."

Seeing the adjutant's face suddenly darken, Mr. Ando quickly had a bad feeling in his mind, and quickly asked: "There are still casualties, why didn't I know?"

The adjutant continued to report: "We have blocked the Eighth Route Army's flying thunder artillery units by strengthening the guard sentry force, preventing them from approaching the road and throwing explosive packages!"

"The security forces lost a lot of people in the blocking battle!"

"A total of three blocking positions were taken today, and the security forces were attacked three times!"

"The Eighth Route Army uses platoons as units, divides its troops into six groups, and attacks our six teams' guard posts at the same time!"

"They are also equipped with light machine guns and grenade grenades. The surprise firepower is very strong, and they will retreat after they are hit...The security forces were caught off guard and suffered great losses!"

"According to statistics, the security forces lost a total of 152 people in the three rounds of raids, of which 128 were from the imperial army, and two infantry squads were directly defeated!"

Ando Osaku was taken aback.

Just now he thought that the army lost very little today, and he praised him, but he was slapped in the face in an instant.

Anger surged into my heart all of a sudden, and I was very dissatisfied: "What's going on..."

"With so many casualties, why didn't the people below report in advance, are they all pigs?"

The adjutant hurriedly explained: "The captain calm down... I don't think it's their fault!"

"Our security forces are all dispatched by various squadrons and belong to different units..."

"Even if a security force is attacked, even if more than half of the casualties are, it is nothing in front of a full infantry squadron. It is even worse than the casualties caused to them by a serial mine, and the squadron leaders did not pay attention."

"A small amount makes a lot. One squadron lost seven or eight imperial troops... More than ten squadrons add up to more than a hundred imperial troops... Only then did we know that the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack troops caused such heavy casualties to the security troops!"

Ando Dazuo has no words to describe his mood at the moment.

There is anger, there is aggrieved, there is anger... It is very complicated.

After a while, he stared at the adjutant and asked back: "The security force lost more than a hundred people in just one day... If this continues, we will lose thousands of people in this area before the sweep is over."

"We must find a way to solve this problem immediately, so as not to give the Eighth Route Army a chance to take advantage of it!"

The adjutant immediately expressed his thoughts: "The humble position has already considered..."

"If we reduce the strength of the security forces, the Eighth Route Army will definitely kill the security posts like yesterday, and cover the Feilei artillery force to throw explosives on the road!"

"But if we don't reduce the strength of the security forces, the Eighth Route Army will abandon the Feilei Cannon and directly send troops to raid the security forces to consume our troops!"

"This is almost an unsolvable dilemma!"

Colonel Ando frowned and shook his head: "No, there must be a way to break the situation, but we didn't expect it..."

After finishing speaking, he fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a full five minutes, he spoke again: "Continue to strengthen the strength of the security forces, and equip them with light machine guns and mortars!"

"When performing security tasks in a dispersed manner, the main force of the security force is lurking and on standby. Two soldiers are arranged to guard. Even if they are attacked by surprise, only two soldiers will die. The other troops will attack the attackers in the dark..."

"Such a fight will definitely reduce the loss of the security forces!"

In the small tent where the assault battalion was temporarily stationed, except for the leader of the mortar platoon, everyone else had smiles on their faces.

In today's operation, several companies all participated in the battle and killed a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.

As soon as Huang Yu spread out the map, Wei Dayong came over to ask for a fight, his reaction speed was faster than a hungry wolf who smelled blood.

"Leader...how shall we fight tomorrow!"

"Today's raid on the devil's security force has brought a dark loss to the raiding force!"

"To count the war damage at night, the startled Japanese will definitely make a targeted response... If the old tricks are repeated, tomorrow [-]% will not get any benefits!"

Huang Yu stared at the map for a while before making up his mind: "Tomorrow, let's have a little trouble during the day!"

"The third company continues to use mines to attack and mop up the troops!"

"One and two companies, Feilei artillery platoon... Just like today during the day, when you see the opportunity, you will jump up and bite the devils. You can kill as many as you can, don't worry!"

"I'll take you to a big show when it gets dark!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to a few points on the map and analyzed: "This is the campsite of the Japanese and puppet troops a few nights ago..."

"At a distance of fifteen kilometers from each other, each camp is to build a defensive position centered on the village, and also build a defensive position around the surrounding area, digging trenches..."

"It can be deduced from this that the devil will probably spend the night in Liuzhuang tonight!"

"I'll set off for Liuzhuang in a while, and the engineer company directly under the regiment headquarters will go there together, and prepare a big gift for the devil in advance!"

"Others stay here to rest, and continue to attack the Japanese and puppet troops after dawn!"

"If they sweep too fast, they will definitely pass Liuzhuang before dark. You should immediately increase the blocking force and slow down their marching speed!"

"If the raiding speed of the Japanese and puppet troops is too slow and they can't reach Liuzhuang before dark, you can release the water appropriately and let them stay in Liuzhuang tonight!"

"All the remaining troops obey Wei Dayong's command, and I will wait for you to watch a show together at Liuzhuang!"

Dazuo Ando was very happy. He felt that he had broken another round of the Eighth Route Army.

When attacking the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army in the morning, the security forces were attacked again.

They adopted their own countermeasures. The two sentries were in the open, and the other troops were in the dark. Combining light and darkness, they attacked the attacking troops at the same time...

Not only successfully defeated the Eighth Route Army, but also reduced the loss to less than [-] people, most of whom were puppet troops standing in the open as sentries.

I am in a good mood, and everything I do feels very smooth.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the mopping-up troops just walked to the side of Liuzhuang.

The next village was still six or seven miles away. If we continued walking, if we encountered the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army again, we would not be able to set up camp after dark.

Colonel Ando didn't think much about it, and immediately dispatched scouts to make sure that Liuzhuang was empty and there was no danger.He decisively ordered the troops to move into Liuzhuang, set up camp with Liuzhuang as the center, and establish a line of defense.

Ando Dazuo did his part to live in the best house in Liuzhuang.

The only thing I didn't expect was that my every move was under Huang Yu's observation.

The engineer company commander squatted beside him, holding the detonator in his arms, with several telephone wires connected to it, feeling nervous and looking forward to it, and couldn't help asking when he saw the Japanese and puppet troops entering the village.

"Battalion Commander, the devils have already entered the village, do you want to press the detonator now!"

"Don't worry, we will act when the devil is asleep!" Huang Yu shook his head and refused.

"Now they are setting up camp, building defensive positions, and their troops are scattered!"

"When they have dinner and start to sleep, Liuzhuang will definitely be full of Japanese and puppet soldiers, especially the several threshing grounds in the village..."

"The more devils there are, the bigger the gift we prepared will be, and the more it will boost the morale of the army and weaken their morale..."

Half an hour later, the three company commanders of the assault battalion found Huang Yu one after another, and they were all looking forward to what the gift the battalion commander prepared for the devil.

At this moment in Liuzhuang, the Japanese and puppet troops are setting up camp under the orders of the middle and lower commanders, and they are very busy.

As usual, officers above the squadron gathered around Colonel Ando to summarize the day's battle damage and determine the target for tomorrow's attack...

The adjutant picked up the calculated battle damage statistics table, glanced at it and smiled: "Commander, the strategy you proposed is very effective, greatly reducing the casualties of the troops!"

"Today our loss is less than a hundred people... only eight imperial troops died in battle, and two imperial troops were seriously injured..."

"This is the day with the smallest casualties since the army raided!"

Osamu Ando was afraid that he would be slapped in the face just after commending his subordinates like yesterday, so he asked with a smile, "Is there no other loss?"

The adjutant nodded quickly: "There are only two losses!"

"Under your careful deployment, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has been helpless against us!"

"If we continue like this, we will definitely be able to successfully complete the sweeping mission!"

Colonel Ando completely let go, with more and more smiles on his face, he said very satisfied: "This is the result of our joint efforts. Tonight, I decided to have a drink with you here to celebrate a little bit!"

"Send me an order... to double the guard posts tonight!"

"The Eighth Route Army didn't take advantage of us during the day, so they definitely won't let go of the great opportunity to attack us at night!"

"Arrange your own troops, and everyone will come here for dinner!"

At ten o'clock in the evening, the lively Liuzhuang gradually quieted down.

Zhuangzi is not big, and the limited houses can’t accommodate a few people. Most of the Japanese and puppet troops gathered in the threshing ground, especially the artillery equipped with heavy artillery... crowded several threshing grounds, even a campfire Nowhere.
