The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 593 Borrowing Soldiers (Part [-])
"No need!" Neiji Okamura replied with suppressed anger.

The Beiping guerrilla detachment retreated suddenly, leaving the five thousand elites who had rushed all the way back from Baoding to nothing, and he was the one who was most angry.

It was he who made the decision to reinforce Baoding with five thousand elites. He wanted to wipe out the rapidly rising Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong Plain and not give them a chance to grow.

As a result, the sweep against the Yizhong Plain had not yet begun, and another accident occurred in Beiping.

Had to temporarily terminate the combat plan to sweep the Yizhong Plain, and first withdraw to protect Beiping.

He never expected that the Beiping guerrilla detachment would run away at the last moment, and the [-] elites he had finally transferred back were once again in vain.

If the Beiping guerrilla detachment finally ran away, the [-] elite marching on the road would have traveled so much back and forth in vain, running back and forth, and in the end it was all in vain.

Neiji Okamura would never allow this kind of thing to happen, and he would destroy the Beiping guerrilla detachment no matter what he said.

Knowing the news that the Beiping guerrilla detachment had abandoned Tong County, they went to Kill Pan to study the direction they might choose to retreat.

Then the chief of staff suggested very firmly: "There is no need to divide the troops to search, they must have gone to Fangshan."

"As long as the Peiping guerrilla detachment still wants to establish a base area around Peiping, it will definitely go out of the mountains, and it will not be too late to eliminate them at that time."

"Immediately send a telegram to the Tianjin reinforcements, telling them to set off immediately and pursue them in the direction of Fangshan County."

As long as there is still a chance, he will not give up lightly.

The Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters looked at the battle report just sent by the Fangshan Garrison, Okamura Ningji was both happy and disappointed.

The only shortcoming is that the return aid troops failed to wipe out the Beiping guerrilla detachment outside the mountain, allowing them to escape into the mountain.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is very cruel.

The chief of staff patted himself on the head suddenly, looked at Neiji Okamura with a look of fear on his face, and said, "Sir, you are wise, it's because of your lowly position that you didn't think carefully, and you almost missed a big deal."

"They will definitely be closely watched by the second regiment of the guerrilla detachment, and they will be attacked as soon as the battle starts."

But he still didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"If the Beiping guerrilla detachment is overtaken by reinforcements from Tianjin and the two sides fight, the reinforcements must reach the battlefield within half an hour and kill the Eighth Route Army at all costs, otherwise the North China Front Army will lose all face."

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Dezhou: "The garrison here exceeds one infantry regiment, and an infantry brigade can be dispatched to reinforce Baoding."

Immediately shook his head and objected: "No!"

Colonel Kawasaki said confidently: "Although we belong to two armies, we all belong to the North China Front Army. As long as Your Excellency Commander nods, they will not dare to disobey no matter how they have opinions."

"The Beiping guerrilla detachment is very powerful and well-equipped. Now that they are on the way to escape, they will definitely fight to the death."

"Looking around Beiping, only Fangshan is suitable for the guerrilla detachment to fight mobile warfare with us. Minimizing our armor and artillery advantages is the most beneficial for them to fight."

"The Cangzhou garrison also has a reinforced wing, and it is no problem to deploy an infantry brigade."

"If all goes well, the reinforcements will leave in two days, and the reinforcements closer to Baoding will arrive in Baoding within two days, and the ones farther away will only take three days. We have made a mopping plan in advance, and we will start operations as soon as the reinforcements arrive. Kill the Eighth Route Army by surprise."

Although the [-] elite troops from Peiping who had reinforced Baoding had withdrawn, Dazuo Kawasaki's determination to eliminate the Duer Regiment and regain all the occupied areas remained unchanged.

It would be great if the Beiping guerrilla detachment could be gathered in the plains and wiped out, and the price paid by the returning troops would be much lower.

Although the reinforcement troops had successfully occupied the Zhoukou stronghold, helped the Fangshan garrison restore the blockade, and trapped all the Beiping guerrilla detachments in the mountain, but no one knew how long it would take to wipe them out.

When they finish their training, the troops will all form combat effectiveness, and the two combined brigades may not be opponents together.

"The main force of the Beiping guerrilla detachment withdrew to Fangshan with a large amount of spoils. It is impossible for the second regiment active there not to send troops to support it."

Looking at the sand table, he first pointed to SJZ in the southwest direction of Baoding, and said with certainty: "The North China Front Army has a mixed brigade stationed here. If it does not affect their safety, they can definitely send two infantry brigades to come to reinforce us."

"As long as the Peiping guerrilla detachment wants to continue to establish bases around Peiping, it won't keep hiding in the mountains as a coward."

"The [-] elite of our army fought all the way back to Peiping from Baoding. The momentum was huge. The Eighth Route Army should have received the news in advance, knowing that they could not hold Tongxian and had to retreat temporarily."

"I will now send a telegram to the troops participating in the war, asking them to march towards Fangshan County to hunt down the Beiping guerrilla detachment."

Okamura Ningji thought about it but didn't think of a good solution, so he could only say helplessly: "Let's do this first, let the reinforcements temporarily garrison Fangshan, guard against death, and wait for the opportunity."

"In the end, not only failed to stop the main force of the Beiping guerrilla detachment, but also lost more than half of the brigade's strength in vain. The gain outweighed the loss."

At this moment, he suddenly saw the small blue flag planted in Fangshan County on the sand table. This is the flag representing the Eighth Route Army, and a small blue flag represents a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"I will call your Excellency the Commander now and report this matter personally, and I must persuade the Commander to agree to our mopping plan."

Baoding Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters, Kawasaki Dazuo is discussing a new mopping up plan with his deputy and the chief of staff.

Only the headquarters above the brigade can make calls to that phone, and it is generally not used in non-emergency situations.Neiji Okamura frowned again, thinking that something had happened again, so he hurried over to answer.

"If they do enter the mountain, it won't take long for them to come out and fight us. Otherwise, we can trap them to death in the mountain."

"The [-] reinforcement troops immediately turned around, gave up reinforcements in Tong County, and went straight to Fangshan County."

The Peiping guerrillas were all driven into the mountains, the crisis in Peiping was finally resolved, and Tong County was returned to him. No matter how you analyze it, it is a happy thing.

"Although there is no garrison nearby that can deploy 5000 people to reinforce us at one time, it is still no problem to reinforce one or two of our brigades in one place. If you add up, you can get 5000 people together no matter what."

"The troops sent out by Fangshan will not last for less than two hours if they can fight."

"Zhangjiakou will also dispatch a chariot brigade and a cavalry brigade to march urgently to reinforce Baoding."

"We must strengthen our guard on the road to prevent being killed by the Eighth Route Army."

If the mopping-up operation is delayed by one more day, the Eighth Route Army on the Yizhong Plain will have more combat effectiveness.

…………

Okamura Ningji nodded subconsciously.

The chief of staff was still in a state of confusion just now, but after listening to Neiji Okamura's analysis, his mind gradually became clearer, and he stared at the sand table in approval and said: "Your Excellency Commander, since the retreat direction of the Beiping guerrilla detachment has been determined, do you want to Don't send a telegram to the Fangshan garrison, ask them to send troops to intercept, slow down the speed of the marching detachment a little bit, and try to block the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain and gather them and annihilate them."

Just after giving the order, the phone in Ningji Okamura's room suddenly rang.

"According to this calculation, the reinforcements we received are much more than the 5000 people transferred from Beiping."

The more Kawasaki Osa said, the more excited he became, as if he had discovered a new continent, he made a decisive decision: "Just do it like this?"

"Although the [-] elite reinforcements from the headquarters have retreated, it doesn't mean that there are no troops around us."

…………

"The Fangshan mixed brigade is far worse than we imagined. Even if we strictly order them to send troops to stop the Beiping guerrilla detachment, it would be good if we can deploy three or four squadrons."

If there are many troops, there is a style of play with many troops, and if there are few troops, there is a style of play with few troops.

After a day of discussion, Kawasaki not only failed to find a way to deal with the Duer Regiment, but even his determination to sweep Yizhong Plain was not as strong as before.

"Is it possible to transfer troops from so many places?" the deputy first asked.

Returning to the war room 10 minutes later, Zhangkou began to issue orders: "Immediately send a telegram to the SJZ garrison: Immediately dispatch two reinforced brigades to march to reinforce Baoding, and those who violate the order will follow the military law."

The North China Front Army has been fighting the Eighth Route Army for several years, and most of the defeats were fought in the mountains.

"If they don't take the initiative to come out, when they eat up the food they brought into the mountains, they will be hungry and come out."

"Borrowing soldiers?" After an unknown amount of time, Colonel Kawasaki suddenly spat out two words.

"Zhangjiakou has a chariot brigade and a cavalry brigade stationed there. It is entirely possible to deploy a chariot brigade and a cavalry brigade to reinforce us."

"Another military order was issued to the Cangzhou and Dezhou garrisons: dispatch a reinforced brigade to reinforce Baoding, and the speed should be a little faster."

If the Beiping guerrilla detachment did not take the initiative to go out of the mountain and wait for the returning reinforcements to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress, the price it would pay must be very high.

Frowning tightly, his mind was running fast, and he continued to think about ways to break the situation.

The Eighth Route Army operating in the Yizhong Plain is not a god. As long as I use the right method, I will definitely help the mixed brigade to avenge their shame and defeat them.

"There are thousands of them, and with the captives taken away, the food in the mountains won't last long."

"There is nothing wrong with places like Cangzhou and SJZ. After all, they belong to the same army. As long as the military headquarters nods, there is no problem. The Zhangjiakou garrison belongs to two armies, and we are just a mixed brigade. Sir, you are still the rank of Dazuo. Can you ask?" Are they coming for reinforcements?"

"Master Kawasaki decided to continue sweeping the Yizhong Plain, but he didn't have enough troops, so he thought of a way to borrow troops and ask the headquarters to help."

"Compared to the crisis that Beiping has just resolved, the crisis facing Baoding should not be underestimated, otherwise I would not have sent [-] elite troops from Beiping to reinforce them."

"Kawasaki-kun has a way to solve the problem by himself without relying on reinforcements from the headquarters. The headquarters must help."
