The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 549 Hope Becomes Despair (Second Change)
The Japanese army was stationed temporarily, looking at the list of losses in his hand, Grand Master Miyazawa was thinking of committing suicide...

The head of the brigade cobbled together more than 3000 elites, and in just one day and one night, he squandered them into more than 300 people. He has not yet completed the task of retaking Shunping and severely injuring the Duer Regiment. It's so embarrassing.

After struggling in pain for a while before calming down, he looked at the captains and said seriously: "This battle can no longer be fought!"

"The remaining more than 1000 imperial troops must be brought back to Baoding intact without any loss, otherwise the entire Baoding area will be in danger of having no soldiers to use!"

The captain of the first brigade immediately stood up to support: "Xiaozhi is now going to arrange a patrol team and a guard post in the temporary camp, and at the same time make preparations for retreat. We will leave as soon as the sun shines!"

Grand Master Miyazawa shook his head and objected: "No, we will withdraw now..."

"Although the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery units have not yet formed combat effectiveness, their mortar units can rush to join the battle at any time!"

"If they fired at us again from a distance while we were encamped, the troops would lose hundreds of men..."

"While they are cleaning the battlefield in Pingyang Town, they have no time to take care of us!"

"The troops are withdrawing now. When they react, it will be too late to catch up and attack us!"

In the tent that General Miyazawa abandoned, Kong Jie was giving the latest combat orders to the battalion commanders and instructors of the second and third battalions. He pointed to a dozen circles on the map and said, "This is circled by Deputy Chief of Staff Huang and I. It should be this This is the best Japanese and puppet stronghold in an all-out attack!"

"As long as your two battalions take them down, the two surrounding counties will be isolated, and you will have the conditions to form a garrison regiment!"

"If the operation goes well and luck is good enough, taking down the county together will definitely be more beneficial for you to form a garrison regiment!"

"It's okay if you can't take it down. In the words of Deputy Chief of Staff Huang: As long as the county is isolated, they will become a hen that lays golden eggs. If you manage it well, the benefits you will get will not be as good as conquering the county. few."

"In addition to your own battery, I will strengthen you with two mountain cannons, one infantry cannon, four heavy machine guns, ten light machine guns, and five hundred rifles..."

"The equipment can be taken away now, or you can come back to collect it after the troops have opened up the situation. It will be used as the foundation for you to form a garrison regiment... You are all former regiment leaders and political commissars, so there should be no pressure!"

All four of them had smiles on their faces. They didn't expect that they would return to the position of team leader just two months after being demoted.

Although it is a garrison regiment, the name is not as good as the main force regiment, but it is independent and has no development restrictions.

If you have the ability and conditions, no one has any objections to developing the garrison regiment into a strengthened regiment of 4000 to [-] people.

For these cadres who have come up from the grassroots, they are more willing to be the head of the garrison regiment.

After looking at each other, they saluted Kong Jie at the same time: "Please rest assured, head, we will definitely not let you down!"

When Kong Jie wanted to say a few more words, the investigation platoon leader suddenly rushed in: "Regiment leader... the little devil who was withdrawn from us has something to do..."

"Stopped five kilometers away for two hours to gather troops, and set off again half an hour ago. Looking at the direction, it should be retreating in the direction of Baoding!"

"No, the little devil sees that the situation is not good and wants to run away!" Huang Yu said anxiously.

"They suffered heavy losses in the night attack just now. They are afraid that we will repeat our old tricks and attack them from a long distance with artillery. While we are still cleaning the battlefield in Pingyang Town, we will retreat and run away!"

"I'll lead people to catch up now, maybe I can tear off a piece or two of fat from them!"

"If it's a little later, I won't be able to drink the soup!"

Kong Jie believed in Huang Yu's words, and nodded without hesitation: "Remember to bring more artillery!"

"If you can't take advantage of it, go to other Japanese and puppet troops to get benefits!"

"The Baoding puppet army is much richer than the Shunping Japanese puppet army. Just laying down two strongholds will support us!"

"Also pay attention to air defense during the operation... Try not to operate during the daytime!"

"This is a plain, which is different from a mountain. If you are targeted by devils and you can't even find a forest to hide in, then you will suffer a great loss!"

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to several main battalion commanders and instructors: "You guys also set off together!"

"Be well concealed on the march!"

"Don't hesitate after determining the target of the attack, be quick, precise and ruthless, and don't give the Japanese and puppet troops any chance to react!"

"Strive to end the battle within three days, even if the Baoding Japanese army asks Beiping for reinforcements, it will be too late!"

Baoding Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters, the communications staff rushed to the brigade commander's room as soon as he received the telegram from Miyazawa Dazuo, but he hesitated when he reached the door.

In the past two days, he has been almost by the brigade leader's side, and no one knows better than him how high the brigade leader's expectations are for the attacking troops.

The chief of staff and more than 3000 troops were wiped out in Shunping City. It has been three days since the incident, but the brigade head did not report the bad news to the front army headquarters.

The battle was so embarrassing, the mixed brigade lost troops and generals, the opponent had almost no losses, and even Shunping County was still in their hands.

If such a result is reported, the brigade leader will definitely be punished.

In order to make the battle report look better, and to wash away the shame, to avenge the chief of staff, and to curb the rapid development of the Second Regiment, this surprise battle came about.

Thinking of General Miyazawa's sudden attack, he would definitely catch the Duer regiment by surprise, at least he would be able to regain Junpei and severely damage the Duer regiment.

With such a victory in hand, the responsibility of the mixed brigade for losing troops and generals will definitely be much smaller.

As a result, things backfired. Not only did Miyazawa not win the battle, but he returned in a disastrous defeat, losing a large number of troops again!
If the head of the brigade knew about this, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, and finally vented all his anger on himself.

But this matter is really too big, if you delay for one more minute, Colonel Miyazawa will be more dangerous.

As a communications staff officer, he had to report the bad news to the head of the brigade as soon as possible, so that he could immediately prepare for the response.

After hesitating for half a minute, he had to bite the bullet and knock on the door.

"what's up……"

Major General Hase's slightly hasty voice soon came out of the room.

As the head of the brigade, some basic common sense in the army is still clear.

It's the middle of the night now, if the communications staff dared to come to him at the risk of angering him, something must have happened.

"Report to the head of the brigade...the dispatching troops urgently sent an urgent call. They were just attacked by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army. The troops suffered heavy losses and had to choose to withdraw their troops!"

"The head of the brigade, please contact the aviation force immediately, and send a plane to escort them at dawn to prevent the attacking troops from being attacked again..."

Before the communications officer could finish his report, there was a rush of footsteps and the sound of getting dressed in the room.

Then the door was pushed open, and Major General Hase came out in military uniform, went straight to the war room, and asked as he walked: "To be more specific, how many people did the attacking troops lose in the night attack, and how many people are left in the army? Where have you been?"

The communications staff officer chased after the brigade commander and replied: "It wasn't mentioned in the telegram!"

"There are only four words of heavy losses!"

"When the telegram was sent, the troops had just set off from a position five kilometers east of Pingyang Town!"

"The troops are marching in a hurry, we can infer their approximate position after dawn!"

"Bageya Road...why does the Eighth Route Army catch us by surprise every time it raids...we raided them but ended up being defeated!" Major General Zhang Gu cursed as he entered the war room and lined up tables.

Because of the unexpected accident on the front line, the war room, which was still quiet in the first half of the night, suddenly became very lively, but no one could answer the brigade commander's question.

After a while of cursing, Major General Zhang Gu's anger gradually calmed down, and he could only sigh and order: "Hurry up and contact the air force and ask for aircraft support!"

"No matter how many people are lost in the attacking force, from now on, no more soldiers can be lost!"

"Otherwise the entire Baoding area will be in crisis!"

After finishing speaking, he walked towards his office and added as he walked: "Until the attacking troops return to Baoding, no one can come and disturb me without my order!"

After speaking, he closed the office door.

Reporting the battle report to the Front Army Command can no longer be delayed, otherwise the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will not be able to save him.

I thought that the assault troops would solve this problem for themselves.

The result was not only not solved, but increased the difficulty of this question.

He had to think about this matter alone, write a good battle report, and minimize his own responsibilities, so that he could continue to stay in the position of brigade commander and seek revenge from the Duer Regiment.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to keep my position as brigade commander.

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