The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 553 Courage is getting bigger and bigger (first!)

"Instructor..." Deng Jingye stared at the map for analysis.

"I just carefully analyzed the terrain of Wangdu County, and I think our place is especially suitable for the future regiment headquarters of the Wangdu Defense Regiment..."

The instructor shook his head and asked, "Is it too close to Wangdu County?"

Deng Jingye smiled and replied: "It is because it is very close to the county that I want to build the regiment headquarters here!"

"I just asked the puppet company commander who was captured, and the total number of little devils in Wangdu is less than 500...We killed more than 100 last night, and if we kill some more tonight, there will not be many little devils in Wangdu! "

"If we can take the opportunity to take down the county seat, we can learn from Deputy Chief of Staff Huang and fight the devils around the county seat. Setting up the headquarters here can better command the troops to fight!"

"If we don't take it down, we can still use the county seat as a bait to slowly fight a war of attrition with the devils. This is also the best position for us to command operations!"

"As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest... We set up the regiment headquarters under the noses of the Japanese army, they must not have thought of it..."

The instructor was still a little worried, and chased after Deng Jingye and asked, "Battle Commander, do you have any specific ideas?"

"Let's divide up our troops tomorrow!" Deng Jingye replied blurtly.

"I will lead the fourth company, guard platoon, artillery company, and reconnaissance squad to continue raiding the remaining Japanese and puppet strongholds in Wangdu and take them down in the shortest possible time."

"You stay here, while sending people to contact the guerrillas operating in Wangdu, while recruiting local recruits, and mobilizing prisoners with no bad deeds to join us, we will expand the fifth company into a main camp in the shortest possible time!"

"All the contacted guerrillas are concentrated here, and temporarily organize them into a battalion!"

"After dark, dispatch a platoon to march back to Pingyang Town, and bring back the weapons and ammunition that the regiment commander promised us. You can train every recruit you recruit here!"

"A battalion adapted from the guerrillas directly changed their outfits, and took some bullets for them to conduct live ammunition training. Even if they can't form a battle, they must have the strength to pretend to attack the Japanese and puppet troops!"

The trainer was not a fool, and after hearing the order, he looked shocked and asked: "Battalion Commander, you don't mean to use guerrillas to attack Wangdu County!"

Deng Jingye replied with a mysterious face: "The secret must not be revealed!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Major General Hase had just finished a phone call with the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, and he was in a very good mood.

The headquarters promised to reinforce Baoding with two full-staffed infantry brigades. With the help of the chief of staff, one of the brigades would be able to set off in the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest and arrive in Baoding the evening of the day after tomorrow.

With these more than 1000 troops, the Baoding Garrison will be able to rebuild the destroyed mobile brigade.

In case of an accident in any position in the defense zone, I will not be helpless and have no soldiers to use.

After being happy for less than 5 minutes, the communications staff officer suddenly ran over and reported: "General... urgent call from Wangdu County..."

"Suddenly an elite Eighth Route Army appeared in their territory..."

"Equipped with a large number of artillery... lost two strongholds in just one night!"

"Wangdu County can't spare a single soldier to deal with them, please send troops to reinforce them immediately from the brigade headquarters!"

"The elite of the Eighth Route Army... are still active in Wangdu... Are you kidding me!" Major General Zhang Gu's subconscious first reaction was disbelief.

"I remember that there are only Eighth Route Army guerrillas in Wangdu...not even a decent local army, where did the main force come from..."

As he was talking, Major General Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment, strode over to the sand table, and analyzed while looking at it: "Not good... The Eighth Route Army active in Wangdu is probably from Shunping..."

"In the night attack on Pingyang Town, the Eighth Route Army severely damaged our assault troops, knowing that our troops are insufficient..."

"If I were the commander of the Eighth Route Army, I would definitely seize the opportunity to attack in an all-round way. Not only can I capture our strongholds, but also capture the equipment and ammunition they urgently need. It can also further consume our troops and weaken our strength!"

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, as long as we show a little bit of weakness, they will rush up and bite us."

"Immediately call back the Wangdu County Garrison: Tell them to shrink their defenses immediately!"

"Withdraw all the troops scattered in various strongholds to the county seat, and concentrate all troops and firepower to protect the county seat!"

"Wait until all the reinforcements promised by the Front Army Command are in place, and then send troops from the county to regain those lost strongholds!"

At the Japanese Garrison Headquarters in Wangdu County, the captain thought that the brigade head would send some reinforcements to him more or less, and at least return the troops he had transferred away?
The result disappointed him greatly. Not only did Wangdu County not receive any reinforcements, but he also voluntarily gave up all the strongholds outside the city...

The military order of the brigade commander must not be disobeyed, and abandoning the stronghold outside the city is indeed the best way to preserve strength.Although the captain was unwilling, he still decided to carry it out.

The adjutant understood and immediately suggested: "Sir, the humble officer should call the stronghold outside the city right now..."

"Let them abandon their stronghold immediately and withdraw to the county seat!"

"Blow up all the weapons, ammunition and supplies that cannot be taken away!"

The captain was just about to nod, when a staff officer next to him suddenly reminded: "Sir, is it too dangerous for the troops to retreat overnight!"

"The brigade commander's call back showed: The Eighth Route Army active in our defense area is from the Second Regiment. It is well-equipped and powerful in combat. It is especially good at raids and night battles!"

"If they continue to act tonight, the withdrawal of the troops from the stronghold now is tantamount to shooting them at the muzzle of guns, and they are looking for death!"

"The troops stick to the stronghold. In case of attack, there are gun towers and bunkers to defend!"

"Even if the bunkers and gun towers are destroyed, there are still some superficial fortifications around the stronghold, so they won't be completely exposed to the Eighth Route Army."

"If the troops engage in an encounter with the Eighth Route Army on the way to retreat, there will definitely be no time to build fortifications in a hurry!"

"The result must be very miserable!"

"Humble job recommends that the troops stationed outside the city begin to act after dawn!"

"No matter how courageous the Eighth Route Army is, it would not dare to ambush us in the daytime!"

After hearing this, the captain began to give orders: "Then give up the stronghold outside the city tomorrow morning, and retreat after dawn!"

"Call them now, the troops are ready to retreat in advance!"

In a stronghold just captured by the Second Battalion, except for the guard post, everyone who participated in the battle last night was hurrying to catch up on sleep.

After the division of troops, the previous offensive plan of the Second Battalion is definitely not applicable.

Due to insufficient troops, Deng Jingye had to halve the task of conquering two strongholds in one night.

According to the new plan, they still have a bad fight tonight.

In order to have more time to recharge his batteries, he directly let the troops rest in the devil barracks where the stronghold was not blown up.

While sleeping soundly, the investigation squad leader suddenly ran over.
