The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 603 Seen Through (Part [-])
Miyazawa Osako's original idea was to retreat to the field artillery position to join the second brigade, and then retreat together.

As a result, when there were still 800 meters away from the field artillery position, the captain of the second brigade came running towards him with more than 300 remnants.

A bad premonition quickly flashed in his mind, and at the same time, he led the troops to meet him, and asked directly.

"The total strength of the Second Battalion and the Field Artillery Battalion exceeds 800 people. Why are there only a few troops left? Did the artillery you left on the ground fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army?"

Half of the troops lost on the battlefield were his own subordinates, and the captain was more distressed than anyone else.

But the deputy brigade commander had to answer the question, so he could only take a deep breath and report: "The Eighth Route Army gathered more than 1000 people to raid the field artillery positions, equipped with more than ten artillery pieces of various calibers."

"We divided our troops to defend the field artillery positions, and only more than 100 people blocked the Eighth Route Army's assault troops head-on."

"Only holding on for 5 minutes was broken by the Eighth Route Army."

"Although the humble staff led reinforcements at the first time, it was still too late."

"In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Beizhi can only abandon the field artillery positions and lead the remaining soldiers to break through and retreat."

"We blew up all the field artillery that could be bombed in the positions, but when we retreated, some artillery positions were already occupied by the Eighth Route Army, and the artillery there did not have time to destroy."

"More than 1000 Eighth Route Army and more than ten artillery pieces?" After hearing this, Miyazawa Colonel was full of doubts and couldn't help roaring.

"There are more than 2000 Eighth Route Army troops attacking Yi County, and more than 2000 Eighth Route Army troops defending the blocking position. There are still more than 2000 Eighth Route Army troops attacking the flank security positions. Eighth Route Army troops continue to come out on the way to retreat. You have also been attacked by more than 1000 Eighth Route Army troops. They Where did so many troops come from, is this the Yizhong Eighth Route Army we know?"

The captain of the Second Battalion had fought against the commando commanded by Deng Jingye, and knew their combat effectiveness very well, so he immediately answered: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us is really not like the Eighth Route Army in the wings."

"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army has just completed its expansion. There are many new recruits in the team, few veterans, and the combat effectiveness is limited."

"But the Eighth Route Army that assaulted the field artillery positions just now are all veterans, well-trained and well-equipped... I dare to vouch for this with my own head!"

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army who attacked the flank security positions just now are also veterans, and I'm sure of their humble positions!" The captain of the third brigade added later.

"Boom boom boom... da da da..."

There were more questions in Miyazawa's mind, and just as he was about to continue, the familiar sound of machine gun fire came from behind him again, and when he turned his head, he saw a second lieutenant rushing towards him with a face full of panic.

"Sir, the attacking force failed to retreat..."

"The Eighth Route Army's blocking troops suddenly launched a counterattack. In order to buy time for the main force to retreat, they took the initiative to stay behind and were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army."

"But the Eighth Route Army that broke through the guard position on the flank was not blocked by them, and was rushing towards us, and the rear guard troops were about to engage in fire with them."

The military situation was urgent, and Colonel Miyazawa had no choice but to put away the doubts in his mind, and ordered decisively: "The rearguard troops leave an infantry squadron behind, and the other troops continue to retreat, and get rid of the Eighth Route Army's pursuit as soon as possible."

"After leaving the battlefield, we will study the opponent's situation. Let's go now."

…………

The Japanese army attacked the position, Huang Yugang led a team to occupy here, and Kong Jie followed.

"Little Huang, it's a miracle that we really won this battle." Kong Jie couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw Huang Yu.

He followed the guard company from the blocking position all the way to here, and as far as he could see the craters made by the shells, the corpses of little devils scattered all over the place, and the heartbroken expressions brought about by the heavy losses of the blocking troops were instantly swept away.

Looking at Huang Yu, he continued: "We knocked out a squadron in the first round of the devil's attack, and dispatched three infantry squadrons in the second round of attack, and killed two squadrons on the counterattack, and the remaining squadron was surrounded by us. It will be wiped out sooner or later. I'll take out a battalion of infantry on my side alone."

Huang Yu pointed to the security positions of the Japanese army and answered: "Regimental Commander, the commandos also killed three or four infantry squadrons in the two security positions. The results of the artillery positions, the harvest of our retreating troops after chasing and killing the devils, we can kill at least two thousand little devils tonight."

Kong Jie's face immediately beamed with joy: "I remember the little devil led the deputy head of the brigade..."

"He was the one who led the team of three thousand little devils who raided Pingyang Town. In the end, half of the troops were wiped out by our artillery raid, and we had to escape from the base area with a bunch of remnants."

"This time, he also led troops to reinforce Yi County, and he should seek revenge from us."

"As a result, we were beaten again and lost our troops and retreated in embarrassment."

"When he returns to Baoding, even if Gangcun Ningci can spare him, he won't be able to spare himself."

"This battle was so fun. Although there were heavy casualties, all the sacrifices were worthwhile."

"With this victory at the bottom, even if the reinforcements Kawasaki thinks about day and night reach Baoding, he will not dare to attack our base rashly."

"As long as Gangcun Ningci does not act, the base area will usher in a period of peaceful development for at least one to two months."

"I will send a telegram to the chief of staff right now, asking him to launch a general attack on Yi County immediately."

"The devil's reinforcements have been severely damaged by us, and the bait is useless."

"Although Yi County is small, it has all the internal organs. Taking Yi County will definitely gain more than we can break through a stronghold."

Huang Yu agreed with Kong Jie's analysis very much, and then answered: "I will take the commando to reinforce the pursuit troops."

"The little devil's reinforcements consisted of nearly 4000 people. We only killed a little more than half of them, and we didn't completely defeat them."

"In case they get ruthless and kill us, the chasing troops will definitely not be our opponents."

"I'll bring the commandos there, maybe I can tear off two more pieces of fat from the devil."

…………

Miyazawa was defeated twice in a row by Huang Yu, but his military quality is still very good.

While running, I noticed something was wrong from the sound of firefighting behind me.

Reminiscent of the previous experience of being frightened into a bereaved dog by the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire in Pingyang Town, he suddenly realized something, slapped his head and ordered: "Ba Geya Road, we may have been fooled by the Eighth Route Army's bluff again."

The captain of the third brigade didn't have this experience, so he asked with a puzzled face, "Bluffer? Sir, you can't make a mistake, right?"

"Just now the shells fired by the Eighth Route Army fell on us. They were all true. How could it be a bluff?"

Chief Miyazawa did not answer, but listened carefully to the shouts behind him, and said very firmly, "I didn't say that the shells fired by the Eighth Route Army were fake. I said that the troops they attacked us were not as powerful as you said."

"The Eighth Route Army you encountered is likely to be a temporary commando formed by the enemy from veterans in the army. The other Eighth Route Army that attacked us were all recruits."

"If the Eighth Route Army gathered around us really has 8000 people, do you think we can break out of the encirclement so easily?"

"The chasing troops that followed us were also very strange. They ran all the way with us and only heard shouts and gunshots, but they didn't see an Eighth Route Army chasing us and intercepting us. It's so abnormal."

"As long as a battalion advances in front of us and blocks for 10 minutes, the main force of the Eighth Route Army can encircle us again, gather and wipe them out, but they didn't do that."

The captain of the third brigade seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said, "It's really possible."

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked the security position just now was always a unit, and all the other troops hid behind and did not fight us directly."

"If I were the commander of the other side with heavy troops in my hand, I would definitely launch an attack with several troops to disperse our firepower and troops to speed up the attack, but the Eighth Route Army didn't do that."

"I thought it was strange before. If the Eighth Route Army behind the main attacking force were all recruits, then this matter would be easy to explain."

After finishing speaking, the captain of the third brigade showed an eager expression, and seized the opportunity to challenge Grand Master Miyazawa: "Sir, since the Eighth Route Army is bluffing, except for the artillery and a small number of troops participating in the battle, the other troops are all new recruits. Follow us and kill us." Our troops are also recruits, why don't we kill them here and return the carbine."

"If we can take the opportunity to kill some Eighth Route Army, we won't be too ashamed."

"Maybe we can turn defeat into victory and take the opportunity to severely injure the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army."

Grand Master Miyazawa had already defeated Maicheng once, and he didn't want to go back to Baoding again like a lost dog.

For his own face, and for the face of the Baoding Mixed Brigade, he decided to gamble here.

Looking at the captain of the third brigade, he asked seriously: "How many troops do you need..."

"Two reinforced squadrons..." The captain of the third brigade answered seriously.

"If there are too many ambush troops, it will be easy to be exposed. If there are too few, it will not be possible to make a quick decision. The two reinforced squadrons are just right. In case of an accident, we will only lose two squadrons, which is still within the acceptable range."

Grand Master Miyazawa nodded: "Then I will give you two reinforced squadrons."

"If the Eighth Route Army chasing us is really vulnerable, we must end the battle as quickly as possible, catch up with the main force, and then determine our next action plan."

"If the Eighth Route Army hadn't bluffed, the troops chasing and killing us were very powerful. You must cut off your wrists and leave the battlefield immediately to minimize losses."

…………

Five to six hundred meters behind the devil, on the official road, a battalion of the Eighth Route Army was marching forward in battle formation. The machine gunners fired two shuttle bullets into the air from time to time, scaring the little devils ahead and forcing them to arrange more troops in the rear.

This is a main battalion with more than [-]% of the recruits. If they go head-to-head with the devils' retreating troops, this little force is not enough to give them teeth.

But if the devils leave one or two squads behind, they can surround the squad and slowly eliminate them by relying on their superior firepower.

This is also part of Huang Yu's battle plan.

Except for a few commandos who have the strength to face the devils head-on, the other troops participating in the war can only fight the devils by chance.
