The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

After his eyes stayed on everyone for two seconds, Kawasaki Dazuo took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Chief of Staff, please tell me all the information about the Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the more detailed the better."

"Hayi..." The new chief of staff was promoted from the team leader below. He had many fights with the Duer Regiment. In order to make a good impression on Kawasaki Colonel, he quickly stood up from his chair and reported respectfully.

"After investigation, the Eighth Route Army established a garrison regiment in the newly occupied Wangdu County and Mancheng County. In addition to the previously established Shunping garrison regiment, the main force of the Duer Regiment, the Eighth Route Army has more than four regiments active in the Baoding area. "

Osa Kawasaki frowned all of a sudden, and his face became particularly ugly at this moment.

I thought that my opponent was only the independent regiment, but now a hundred thousand garrison regiments appeared out of thin air, and I was shocked and angry.

Never expected that Major General Hase had concealed so many things from the front army headquarters.

If he only dealt with a single regiment, he was [-]% sure to wipe out his opponent.

Now the opponent has suddenly changed from one regiment to four regiments, and the overall strength has increased by more than four times. If you want to wipe them out, the difficulty will definitely increase exponentially. The pressure Kawasaki will face will be several times greater. If an accident happens in the middle of the road, then his reputation will be ruined.

The chief of staff is very good at observing words and deeds, otherwise he would not stand out from so many captains and be promoted to the chief of staff of the brigade, hurry up to comfort him.

"Although our opponents have changed from one regiment to four regiments, their overall strength has not increased, and even weakened a lot."

"The mopping-up troops directly formed a large net, and swept towards the Eighth Route Army's base areas head-on, killing all the Eighth Route Army's activities outside the mountains, and then attacked their troops hiding in the mountains, completely destroying their base areas."

Kawasaki Dazuo suddenly interrupted: "Don't be afraid this time."

"How many Imperial Association troops can be dispatched from Baoding City to participate in this sweep."

"The two previous attacks were repulsed by these artillery pieces."

Kawasaki Dazuo became interested after hearing this, and quickly asked, "Tell me more specifically?"

The deputy brigade commander immediately showed a troubled expression on his face, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Report sir, if we add all [-] recruits to the troops, the mixed brigade can transfer three brigades to participate in the sweep."

"Three days... After three days, the artillery unit must form combat effectiveness."

"There are only [-] to [-]% veterans in the team, and the remaining [-] to [-]% are recruits."

"It is also possible to mobilize three regiments of the Royal Association Army to join the battle, but these Imperial Association Army are still being formed, and it will take at least a month to form an army at the earliest. The [-] new recruits who have just replenished the army will need more than five days to integrate into the army. , form a combat force."

"Although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has been weakened due to large-scale expansion, their total strength has exceeded 5000."

"The humble job has dispatched enough gunners to form the newly established Field Artillery Brigade and Mountain Artillery Squadron. The shelves are all set up. As long as the equipment is replenished, combat effectiveness can be formed within five days at most."

"Your Excellency, Commander, also replenished the mixed brigade with twelve field artillery pieces, eight mountain artillery pieces, and six infantry artillery pieces."

"In order to reduce casualties, we had to choose to retreat and end the battle."

"After the mopping up began, the only thing the offensive troops had to worry about was that the Duer Regiment seized our dozens of mountain artillery and a large number of mortars."

"The next big sweep, I need enough troops to fight."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the deputy brigade commander to refute, he asked the next question: "How long will it take for two thousand new recruits to form combat effectiveness after replenishing the troops."

Kawasaki Dazuo interrupted again: "No, the speed is too slow..."

"In addition to the mountain artillery and infantry artillery equipped by the mixed brigade, we can dispatch more than [-] direct-fire artillery during this sweep. If the Eighth Route Army dares to repeat it on purpose, I don't mind using powerful artillery to destroy the artillery they have finally built. force."

"The main force of the Duer Regiment was also taken away because of a large number of veterans, and the overall combat effectiveness is not as good as before."

"If we delay one more day in Baoding, the opponent's combat power will increase by one point, and our combat night during the sweep will also increase."

"The main force elite hid in the deep mountains and waited for orders."

"Hai..." Grand Master Miyazawa quickly stood up and answered.

"Everyone is a veteran who leads troops to fight, and should be aware of the importance of veterans in an army. Blind expansion, once the proportion of recruits exceeds that of veterans, the overall combat effectiveness of the army will not become stronger due to the increase in troops, but will become weaker and weaker. Even hundreds of veterans will not be able to display their combat effectiveness under the drag of recruits."

"This is the usual method used by the Eighth Route Army to deal with us. Now I am the newly appointed brigade commander of the Baoding Mixed Brigade. I don't want this kind of thing to happen in my defense area. If we want to fight, we have enough troops to kill the Eighth Route Army in the territory. Attack, wipe them out completely, and don't give them any chance to revive."

"When we finish the sweep and the reinforcements return to Peiping, they will come out of the mountains and rebuild the base."

"Hai..."

"If you want to wipe them all out of the mountain, you must have enough troops to outflank and tie your pockets. Otherwise, they will definitely cut off their wrists and leave a part of their troops to stop us outside the mountain and fight a war of attrition with us."

"In addition to the heavy artillery brigade that was strengthened by the Front Army Command, the three infantry brigades I brought are also equipped with six infantry artillery and four mountain artillery."

"Under the cover of night, they bombarded our army's garrison from a long distance. We don't have enough artillery fire to fight back, and the planes can't support us at night. The troops can only be passively bombed."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the deputy brigade commander Miyazawa and asked: "Miyazawa-kun, are the gunners I asked you to prepare in advance ready?"

Colonel Kawasaki was upset after hearing this, and said very dissatisfied: "What's the matter with the Imperial Association Army? Such a big Baoding, why can't even transfer several regiments of the Imperial Association Army? What are you doing?"

Although he and Kawasaki both have the rank of Colonel, but he is committing crimes and meritorious deeds, and if he is not careful, he will lose his position under the bottom of his butt like Major General Hase.Facing the newly appointed head of the acting brigade, he did not dare to put on seniority and put on airs at all, and he was more respectful than the chief of staff in his words and deeds.

The chief of staff went on to introduce: "The investigation confirmed that the three newly established garrison regiments of the Eighth Route Army only have about 1000 people. Except for a small number of mortars and heavy machine guns, they do not have any other heavy weapons."

"Please calm down, sir!" The deputy brigade leader hurriedly explained.

"In the previous battle against the Duer Regiment, we lost more than four regiments of the Imperial Association Army, and we did not receive any supplements."

"In order to make up for the gap in the Royal Association Army, Beizhi is expanding the Royal Association Army, but it will take time."

Chief Kawasaki was confused by this answer. Before he took office, he had prepared for Baoding to be a mess, but he did not expect this mess to be so bad.
