The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Major General Hase once again turned his attention to his deputy, and ordered in a heavy tone: "The plan of the quick response brigade to reinforce Wangdu County is cancelled, and a battle plan for retaking the Qinggang stronghold will be formulated first..."

"Eliminate the Eighth Route Army operating around Baoding at all costs... at least drive them away!"

Just as the deputy was about to take the order, the communications staff officer ran over again, with an even uglier expression than before.

Before he could stand still, he rushed to report: "General, there is an urgent call from Mancheng County..."

"The three strongholds they built outside the city were all attacked, and the entire garrison was wiped out... There are also Eighth Route Army activities outside the city. It is suspected that the Eighth Route Army may attack the county!"

"The mobile troops in the city have been taken away by us, and the garrison is severely understrength... Please brigade commander immediately divide his troops to reinforce them!"

Major General Zhang Gu was completely confused, and suddenly felt that he didn't understand the Baoding area where he had been staying for almost two years!

As far as he can remember, there is only one Second Brigade active in Baoding. In its heyday, the total strength of this Eighth Route Army did not exceed 6000.

After the Second Brigade was defeated and downsized into the Second Regiment, although a Shunping garrison regiment emerged, the two troops were not very good, with a total strength of no more than 4000 at most, and their combat effectiveness was far lower than in their heyday. solo brigade.

The result is such an army that I despise. Not only did I divide my troops to conquer the four strongholds in Wangdu County, but also sent troops straight to Baoding, and took down two of my own strongholds. …

"We have already received more than 150 members from four guerrilla teams. With the addition of the Chen Ji guerrilla team, the third battalion will be able to set up a shelf!"

This gave them the strength to conquer small and medium-sized strongholds in a short period of time.

After a long silence, Major General Hase finally broke the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of the headquarters: "The order to send troops to retake the Qinggang stronghold is also cancelled!"

"By the way, are the troops you sent to Pingyang Town coming back soon?"

"At that time, our newly established mobile brigade can only make up for it in Baoding. It will tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and there is no way to reinforce other places!"

"There are only two counties left in Wangdu County and Mancheng County. The Eighth Route Army will not take them down so easily!" More and more strongholds have been conquered!"

The commandos that attacked them also included a large number of recruits.

"Instructor... no, it's the political commissar... Chen Ji's guerrilla team is here...they have a total of more than 60 people, and they can almost be reorganized into a main company..." the fifth company commander pointed to the figure that suddenly appeared at the end of the road and shouted .

"There are two reasons: Baoding City is too important, and I would rather lose Wangdu County and Mancheng County than allow any mistakes."

"Second: Use the strong fortifications in Wangdu County and Mancheng County to consume a large amount of the Eighth Route Army's vital forces! Prepare for the elimination of the Eighth Route Army there in the future!"

"Wangdu County, Mancheng, Qinggang... were attacked by a large number of Eighth Route Army at the same time!"

The plaque of the Second Battalion Headquarters of the Duer Regiment has been replaced by the Wangdu County Defense Regiment Headquarters. Before dawn, the political commissar is waiting at the entrance of the town.

All of them frowned and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army has the ability to turn beans into soldiers, and can wipe out troops out of thin air.

Major General Chang Gu interrupted suddenly: "There is a third reason..."

The Baoding Japanese and puppet troops were severely understrength, and any accident could cause a devastating blow, and they couldn't afford to gamble.

Little did he know that in order to seize the opportunity to weaken their troops and beat them up, Kong Jie had already sent out all the troops he could.

It is a pity that the Japanese army did not know this situation.

"The speed at which the reinforcements reorganize the quick reaction brigade cannot be affected!"

"You don't have to be envious of others, kid... When we recruit two hundred new recruits, the fifth company will immediately expand to the second battalion. You can make preparations now, and the expansion must be completed within three days!"

"As long as the expansion of the second and third battalions is completed as soon as possible, and they can be pulled out to scare the Japanese and puppet troops, he will be [-]% sure to win the county!"

The deputy was the first to speak: "General... I think we should take back the Qinggang stronghold first, and then send troops to reinforce Wangdu County and Mancheng County!"

"If the Eighth Route Army counts twice and loses one or two infantry squadrons, even if we regain Qinggang in the future, Baoding will still be in an embarrassing situation with no soldiers to use!"

"To tell you the truth, the regiment commander is already preparing for the siege battle!"

This is incredible...

After finishing speaking, he ordered to his deputy: "That's it!"

"We can only deploy one brigade, which cannot withstand any mistakes. No matter how we fight, this brigade can't split up and let the Eighth Route Army break it down!"

Of course, even if they knew about it, they would not dare to send troops rashly.

"It's good if you come!" The trainer said happily with a smile on his face.

If Zhang Gu sends troops to attack Shunping now, only half of the brigade can drive straight in and hit Huanglong directly!

"The staff department immediately formulates a battle plan to retake the Qinggang stronghold, the sooner the better!"

As the old saying goes, if the combat power is not enough, the firepower must be added!

"We must determine the target of attack, where to attack first, where to attack again, and finally formulate a combat plan and launch operations!"

Although there are still more than 1000 Eighth Route Army troops in Shunping and the base area at this moment, they are all recruits who have just joined the army for a few days, and all veterans add up to less than 100.

"Two things go hand in hand, strive to send troops to Qinggang within three days, and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army active in Baoding!"

The political commissar replied with a smile: "It's not been a day or two since you knew our head... Do you think the head will joke with us about such a big matter?"

"Immediately send a telegram to the garrison teams of Wangdu County and Mancheng County... Tell them to stick to the county seat. If the Eighth Route Army really plans to attack them, directly use the city defense fortifications to consume a large number of Eighth Route Army troops, and vow to live and die with the county seat!"

Major General Hase couldn't figure out where they got so many troops...

Apart from the brigade commander, other officers were also frightened by the bad news, and couldn't figure out where the Eighth Route Army got so many troops.

"Political commissar, the head of the regiment really intends to attack the county seat?" The fifth company commander asked expectantly and nervously.

In order to make up for their lack of combat power, Kong Jie strengthened them with a large number of heavy weapons.

"The main force of the regiment promised to equip the troops with our weapons and ammunition one day earlier, and the newly established second and third battalions will have one point more

Combat power, bluffing to scare devils will be more realistic in the future! "

The fifth company commander only found out last night that the main force of the regiment had promised weapons and ammunition for a reinforced battalion of the garrison regiment. According to the expansion plan formulated by the regiment headquarters, half of the weapons and ammunition in it would be equipped with his second battalion.

As the battalion commander, he definitely hoped that his subordinates' equipment would be as powerful as possible, so he was very happy when he thought of this.

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