The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 589 Neiji Okamura: A scholar can be killed but not humiliated (first update)
After receiving the victory telegram, I read it twice before putting it down, and then I found the exact location of Tong County on the map, and said with emotion: This is really due to man-made..."

"To be honest, I don't have much hope for Huang Yu's plan to raid Beiping."

"In the end, this kid managed to find a way out in a desperate situation, and brought us such a big surprise."

After shifting his eyes to the deputy chief of staff, he continued to sigh: "Now I believe your evaluation of Comrade Huang Yu: young, confident, energetic, flexible in mind, like to surprise, if you don't take action, you will be rewarded..."

"Tongxian County is the east gate of Beiping. The Imperial Association Army stationed two regiments all the year round, and the military academy where the appeasement army trains officers is also there."

"Xiao Huang took Tong County as a guerrilla detachment in Beiping, which is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest."

"Ningci Gangcun will definitely do everything possible to eliminate them and regain Tong County."

The deputy chief of staff replied with a smile: "There is no soldier in hand, no matter how Okamura Neiji thinks of it, it will be useless."

"The Fangshan garrison was killed by Xiao Huang over 2000 people, and more than 100 people remained there to continue their activities and harass the devils. This way of reinforcements is definitely useless."

"Based on this calculation, Gangcun Ningci can only transfer troops from Tianjin City."

"But based on what I know about Xiao Huang, it's impossible for him to be unprepared."

"If they kill the reinforcements dispatched from Tianjin City, Neiji Okamura will be completely alone."

"If you want to take back Tong County and protect Beiping from attack, you can only send troops back from Baoding."

"The anti-mopping pressure faced by Kong Jie is less."

"This battle was too unexpected. A military operation that was impossible to complete was actually won by him."

"Chief, I think we should now unconditionally cooperate with the Beiping guerrilla detachment commanded by Huang Yu, and make Neji Okamura rush to fear."

The deputy commander's face was already full of joy, and he was very pleased: "Immediately call back the Beiping guerrilla detachment with the order of the headquarters, and let them make persistent efforts to gain a firm foothold and establish a base in Tongxian and Fangshan as soon as possible."

"At the same time, remind them to beware of the Japanese and puppet troops sent from Tianjin."

"You let people spread the news that the Beiping guerrilla detachment has captured Tong County. Then let the cooking team prepare two good dishes. In order to cooperate with Huang Yu, let's make an exception to celebrate tonight."

…………

At the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army in Beiping, Neiji Okamura was furious in the war room because of a telegram.

Although the mixed brigade sent out an infantry squadron to take the initiative to attack and kill the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops.

But the artillery of the Eighth Route Army bombarding them from a long distance has not decreased.

It means that only a small part of the Eighth Route Army was chased and killed by the attacking troops.

Neiji Okamura was so angry that he couldn't describe it in words, and he was also very disappointed in the command ability of the captain of the mixed brigade. Didn't they conduct investigations when they divided their troops to chase and kill the enemy?

If there are very few Eighth Route Army troops to hunt down and kill, it is enough to send out one small team, and the remaining two small teams can be used to hunt down other Eighth Route Army troops, and the problem will be solved.

When he sent his decision to the mixed brigade in the form of an order, the mixed brigade replied that he could not implement it.

He also said that although there were not many Eighth Route Army troops chasing and killing them, their combat effectiveness was very strong. If only one small team was left to carry out the chasing and killing mission, it would not take long for them to be wiped out.
Okamura Ningji obviously couldn't accept this result.

No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army is, it is still a body of flesh and blood. Although the overall combat effectiveness of the mixed brigade is not very good, the infantry squads inside are all organized, well-trained, and supported by aircraft overhead. How could they be defeated by a small Eighth Route Army? This was completely beyond his expectations.

Just when he was about to send a reprimand telegram, the mixed brigade had to carry out the order.

The next telegram from the mixed brigade scared him directly.

The attacking force was actually killed by the Eighth Route Army in a close-range firefight. In addition to the previous losses, the total strength of the attacking force has dropped to more than 70 people.

It made it impossible for him to send troops back from the attacking force.

What annoyed him most was the loss of the main force of the mixed brigade in the artillery attack.

They were still six kilometers away from Tong County. After deducting the assault troops and the casualties in the artillery raids, only two squadrons of replacement troops were left to continue fighting.

The Eighth Route Army will definitely continue to attack with artillery fire. When the troops reach Tong County, it will be good to have an infantry squadron left.

The Beiping guerrilla detachment could easily take down even a reinforced brigade of the imperial army, and it would certainly be easy to deal with an infantry squadron.

If the mixed brigade was allowed to continue to reinforce Tong County, the outcome of waiting for them would probably be annihilation of the entire army.

The troops rushing from Tianjin to Tongxian County were also very bad. The mortar shells fired by the Eighth Route Army fell in the middle of the team as if they didn't need money, which also caused them huge losses.

According to the current rate of loss, more than half of the casualties would be incurred if they successfully reached Tong County.

Including the remaining infantry squadron of the mixed brigade, at most a reinforced brigade can be assembled, and the Beiping guerrilla detachment will definitely not be able to defeat Tongxian.

The Peiping garrison has lost enough troops in the past few days.If something unexpected happened to them, their situation would become even more difficult.

Not only would the recapture of Tong County be in the foreseeable future, but the city of Beiping might also be attacked.

"Your Excellency, Commander..." The intelligence section chief appeared in front of him at some point, and reported eagerly, pulling Neiji Okamura, who was in deep thought, back to reality.

"What's the matter?" Neiji Okamura said slightly dissatisfied when his thoughts were interrupted.

"The humble officer just intercepted a telegram from the Eighth Route Army General Headquarters, which was addressed to the Beiping guerrilla detachment... We are facing the threat of the Peking guerrilla detachment. The humble officer was worried that this telegram would affect the next battle situation, so he hurried over to report." The head of the intelligence section explained while reporting.

"The Eighth Route Army command ordered the Beiping detachment to establish a firm foothold in Fangshan and Tongxian as soon as possible, establish a base area, and then hide. It also reminded the Beiping guerrilla detachment to pay attention to the possibility of imperial army troops appearing in the direction of Tianjin."

"The Eighth Route Army headquarters is very happy that the Beiping guerrilla detachment took Tong County, and even their deputy commander-in-chief planned to celebrate."

"Pa..." Neji Okamura was so angry that he couldn't help but punched the table. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Bageya..."

"The Eighth Route Army is so deceitful that it really wants to establish a base right under our noses, completely ignoring our North China Front Army."

"Scholars can be killed and cannot be humiliated. If they really let their plot succeed, the front army will lose all face!"

"Order: The reinforcement troops coming from Tianjin should stop advancing immediately, and the troops will camp in place and stand by for orders. If they encounter the Eighth Route Army's long-distance artillery raid, immediately join the air force to counterattack with artillery fire."

"We are equipped with so many weapons and supported by aircraft. I don't believe we can't blow up a few mortars of the Eighth Route Army."

"All the shells they used came from seizures, and they were gone after they were shot."

"Continue to fight, the Peiping guerrilla detachment will definitely not last long."

"The mixed brigade also retreated and stopped going to Tong County."

"Only relying on the remnants of the reinforcements, we will definitely not be able to take back Tongxian County. It is better to preserve the vitality and find new fighters before fighting them."

The deputy chief of staff frowned tightly, not knowing why Okamura Ningji suddenly changed the battle plan, and asked anxiously: "What about Natong County? If the Beiping guerrilla detachment is allowed to occupy there, not only Beiping may be attacked at any time, but the Eighth Route Army will also be attacked." Maybe use this time to mobilize the people in Tong County to support them, expand the troops, and establish a base?"

"The longer they occupy Tong County, the greater the chance of establishing a base in Tong County."

"Your Excellency, Commander, please consider carefully."

Okamura Neiji replied firmly, suppressing his anger: "Don't worry... I will not let the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy succeed!"

"Immediately send a telegram to Chief Kawasaki that their operations in the sweeping wing will be temporarily canceled, and the [-] elite soldiers from Peking who will reinforce Baoding will return immediately."

"Master Kawasaki stayed in Baoding, and based on Baoding's existing forces, re-formulated the mopping plan."

"All the air forces were dispatched to indiscriminately bomb Tong County, keeping the Eighth Route Army in the city busy avoiding artillery fire and having no time to establish a base..."

The deputy chief of staff was instantly relieved, and looked at Neiji Okamura with admiration.

As expected of the commander, the commander insisted on surviving a desperate situation, and came up with a solution when he didn't have any ideas to break the situation.

The [-] elite reinforcements in Baoding included reinforcements, artillery, chariot troops, and cavalry. The overall combat effectiveness was no less than that of a mixed brigade.

Tong County, occupied by the Beiping guerrilla detachment, is located on a plain, and once surrounded, it is impossible to escape.

The deputy chief of staff seemed to have thought of the bloody scene of the Beiping guerrilla detachment being surrounded and wiped out in Tong County.

The serious expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and his tightly locked brows relaxed, and he said expectantly: "The humble official will go to accept the order now."

"The Eighth Route Army wanted to establish a base area under our noses, so we cut off their tentacles extending to Peiping and wiped out the Beiping guerrilla detachment. This is a warning to the Eighth Route Army that Peiping is definitely not within their reach."

…………

The Baoding Japanese Army Headquarters, with the cooperation of his deputy, Kawasaki Colonel took only three days to completely master this army.

For an acting brigade leader, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a miracle.

As long as the troops are in full swing in the next big sweep, wipe out the Second Regiment, and regain all the county towns and occupied areas that were lost before, he will be able to completely secure his position at the bottom of his ass.

At this moment, he is holding the last military meeting before the troops attack, to be precise, it should be a report meeting of his subordinates.

"Report to the head of the brigade: the preparations for the Imperial Association Army of the three regiments have been completed, and they are ready to participate in the battle at any time!" The deputy in charge of forming the puppet army was the first to stand up.

The newly appointed chief of staff then stood up: "In order to let the mixed brigade troops form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. The humble officer made the decision without authorization and added all the recruits given to us by the headquarters to the county garrison, and asked them to help train. Six infantry squadrons were transferred into the main force of the brigade through the brigade reorganization system."

"These troops have all formed combat effectiveness."

"As long as the brigade commander needs it, he can dispatch three infantry brigades to join the battle at any time."

"The Field Artillery Brigade and the Mountain Artillery Squadron have all formed combat capabilities and are ready to join the battle at any time."
