The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 587 Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, I prefer to go to the mountain (first update)
Ten minutes later, the sound of violent shell explosions reached the wing headquarters again.

The regiment leader snorted coldly and said, "The Eighth Route Army only use these tricks..."

"The explosion this time came from the west of the city. After a while, they will run to the north of the city and continue to attack us. It makes us feel that their troops are everywhere outside the city, which creates fear."

"As long as we stand still and defend Tianjin City, no matter how provocative the Eighth Route Army is, they will not take the initiative to attack us. They will be the last ones to worry about."

"The captain is wise!" The adjutant seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"The humble officer called the city defense force again to remind them to strengthen their guard and guard Tianjin City. Without the order of the regiment captain, no one can commit suicide without authorization."

"Rumble..."

At this moment, a duller and more violent explosion sounded like thunder came to the headquarters again.

It sounded more like something had been detonated than a mortar shell.

And the sound of the explosion seemed to come from the pier, not from the direction of the city wall.

"Sir, there seems to be an accident at the pier, a thick puff of smoke..." A guard suddenly rushed in to report.

"We can see it clearly in the courtyard of the headquarters... Boom..."

Before the guards finished reporting, the same explosion sound was transmitted to the wing headquarters again, and the face of the wing leader suddenly changed.

He grabbed the binoculars on the table and rushed outside. When he looked up, he saw thick smoke rising from the direction of the pier.

Climb up to the roof quickly, and stand there to see better.

Below the billowing smoke is a raging fire. The orange-red flame is tens of meters high and can be seen clearly without a telescope.

Constant explosions sounded in the fire, with no intention of stopping.

The orange-red flame and billowing black smoke also grew bigger and bigger in the explosion.

"Baga, it must be something wrong with the fuel we piled up at the pier?" The captain judged with a sullen face.

As soon as he ran to the door of the war room, he ordered anxiously: "Contact the dock immediately to find out whether the explosion just now was an accident or was attacked by the enemy. Hurry up!"

"Let the garrison at the dock control the fire as soon as possible to prevent other weapons, ammunition and supplies from being affected by the fire, and rescue some fuel that has not been covered by the fire by the way."

The captain of the regiment had a very clear mind, and the series of orders had only one goal: to reduce losses at all costs.

After hearing this, the adjutant of the regiment went to make a phone call. As soon as he left, he saw a phone soldier running towards him in a panic: "Report sir, the pier was attacked by long-distance artillery fire from an unknown enemy, and nearly [-] shells were fired. The oil warehouse was bombed and has caught fire and exploded."

"In order to prevent the enemy from attacking other warehouses with artillery fire again, the garrison at the pier requests to attack immediately and divide the troops to destroy the enemy who attacked them just now."

"Surprise attack with long-distance artillery fire?" When the captain heard these words, he thought of the sneak attack that Tianjin City was encountering.

With a sinking face, he made a judgment: "Baga, the enemy who attacked the pier must be from the Beiping guerrilla detachment."

"In order to increase our defensive pressure, we have to deploy troops from reinforcements to return to Tianjin City and the docks."

"What a cunning enemy, he hits our weakness as soon as he makes a move."

The adjutant of the regiment ran over just after giving the order, and asked anxiously, "Sir, Tianjin Wharf has not only stockpiled a large amount of fuel, but also hoarded weapons and ammunition in several warehouses."

"If the ammunition depot is attacked by artillery fire and the shells inside explode, the entire Tianjin dock will be razed to the ground."

"Since there are not many Eighth Route Army raiding the pier, and it is daytime, and there are no mountains and dense forests around the pier, the terrain is more favorable for us. Why don't we send a reinforced squadron to fight back."

"Even if you can't destroy the opponent, you have to chase them and fight them, so that they can't continue to attack the pier with artillery fire."

The adjutant's reminder is also something that the captain of the alliance is worried about.

He knew better than the adjutant how many weapons and ammunition had been hoarded at Tianjin Wharf.

If they were really destroyed because of a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, the entire North China Front Army would be short of ammunition because of this, and it would be light for me to apologize by cutting myself open.

He punched the table hard and ordered: "Tell the garrison at the dock that we can only dispatch a reinforced squadron to fight out."

"The remaining troops stepped up their guard and expanded the range of alert as much as possible so that the mortars equipped by the enemy could not reach the weapons and ammunition we stockpiled at the pier."

"Make another call to the naval fleet stationed at the pier, and ask them to dispatch naval guns to support the garrison at the pier, and use the fastest speed to destroy the enemies who attacked the pier."

After issuing a series of orders, the captain began to pace back and forth in the war room.

Climb to the roof from time to time to see if the fire on the pier has diminished. It can be said that the days are like years.

Twenty or ten minutes later, the phone rang again in a hurry, and the phone soldier standing by quickly grabbed the phone, and within a minute of hearing it, he covered the phone and reported to the captain with an eager expression.

"Sir, something happened to a squadron of infantry sent out by the Dock Garrison."

"The Eighth Route Army who attacked them was equipped with a large number of submachine guns and pistols. They set up an ambush on the way of pursuit. Only one round of rapid fire attacked them and killed more than half of them. On the way to retreat, they were attacked by long-distance artillery fire and sharpshooters from the Eighth Route Army. They lost more than half of them again. The squad... a full infantry squadron only had 39 people alive and returned to the dock, and all the other soldiers died in battle."

"Rumble..."

The thunderous explosion sounded again from the pier to the war room.

As soon as the regiment leader heard it, he knew that the Eighth Route Army artillery had started to attack again.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just as I was about to ask my subordinates to call and ask, another phone rang directly.

The telephone soldier picked up the microphone and listened for half a minute, then reported with a heavy face: "The port garrison reports: The Eighth Route Army who attacked them fired again, and all the shells hit an arsenal."

"The arsenal is very strong, and it hasn't been bombed yet, but it certainly won't last long under the artillery fire."

"They can't spare any troops to hunt down the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops. Please send troops to reinforce the pier immediately and kill the Eighth Route Army there."

"Hiss..." the adjutant of the regiment gasped.

"Captain, the garrison in the city is limited. If only one infantry squadron is sent to kill them, not only will it be useless, but it will also repeat the same mistakes as the attacking troops at the pier. Losing my wife and losing my troops."

"There are too many troops and there are no troops. The Eighth Route Army has made it clear that it wants us to send troops back to help, and not to send so many troops to reinforce Tong County."

Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, he prefers to go to the mountain, so why doesn't the captain not know this truth.

However, the front army hoarded too many weapons, ammunition and supplies at the pier, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise half of their hard-working military career would be ruined here.

Even though he knew that this was another hole dug for him by the Eighth Route Army, he had no choice but to jump down.

Looking at the adjutant with a serious face, he ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that Tianjin Wharf was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the fuel our army hoarded there has been destroyed in the battle."

"In order to avoid greater losses, half a brigade must be transferred from the reinforcements in Tong County to the pier. Otherwise, the thousands of tons of ammunition that our army has hoarded at the pier will be lost. Your Excellency, Commander, please approve."

…………

At the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army, Neiji Okamura hadn't seen a smile on his face for a long time.

Half an hour ago, the staff under his command reenacted all the battles that Huang Yu fought all the way from the Zhoukou stronghold to Tong County after he entered Beiping.

In just three days, the Beiping garrison lost two to three thousand Japanese and three to four thousand imperial alliance troops at the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

If there was any doubt about the true identity of the Beiping guerrilla detachment before, it is now confirmed.

To be able to eat so many troops under his command in such a short period of time, the strength of the opponent must not be underestimated. If it were put on the ordinary Eighth Route Army, even the two guerrilla detachments would not be able to achieve such a great result.

But now there is only one guerrilla detachment active in Beiping, which shows that this guerrilla detachment was formed by the Eighth Route Army with elite soldiers and strong generals. It is not only powerful in combat effectiveness, but also very well equipped.

They spent a huge amount of money to form such a strong army, and their purpose must be very grand, not as simple as coming to Beiping to fight a few battles.After thinking about it, only the goal of staying in Beiping to establish a base is worthy of such an army.

Reminiscent of the name of this army, the inference just now is even more unquestionable.

Neiji Okamura was originally the kind of person who gets more excited when his opponent is stronger.

But he couldn't get excited about the battle in front of him at all, instead he felt a lot of pressure.

The battlefield is located outside the city of Beiping, and a little carelessness will threaten the safety of Beiping and make the North China Front Army lose face.

The troops in his hands are not enough, and she fights like a little daughter-in-law. If she wants this or that, she is tied up. Ever since she became the commander of the North China Front Army, she has never been so aggrieved as she is now.

"Where is the mixed brigade dispatched from the airport and various strongholds, and how long will it take to reach the outside of Tongxian County?" The more Gangcun Neji thought about it, the worse his mood became, so he could only turn his attention to the upcoming battle of Tongxian County on, staring at the sand table and asking anxiously.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander: Several units have just completed their reorganization and are on their way to Tong County. According to the current marching speed, it will take two and a half hours to reach Tong County." The deputy chief of staff was watching this matter. answer.

"Too slow!" Okamura Ningji shook his head.

"The Beiping guerrilla detachment has a large number of troops, well-equipped, powerful combat capabilities, and very capable commanders. There must be a large number of scouts deployed around Peiping."

"If you let them discover this mixed brigade in advance, take the initiative to attack."

"Maybe the troops we worked so hard to gather were wiped out before reaching Tonghua."

"Don't forget, this Beiping guerrilla branch has already wiped out a strengthened brigade of our army."

"Compared with their Fangshan line garrison, the combat effectiveness of the mixed brigade is much weaker."

The deputy chief of staff was very confident and comforted: "Please rest assured, Commander."

"No matter how powerful the enemy is, they are still a group of light infantry, and they are also vulnerable to aircraft."

"As long as they dare to leave the county seat, the air force will chase them and bomb them, ensuring that the mixed brigade will reach Tong County safely."
