The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 611 Chief Chief’s Main Course Is Still To Come (Part [-])
"Brigade Commander, you should have heard these four words. Since our army does not have the strength to sweep Northwest Shanxi now, we should stop. No more accidents and unnecessary casualties will occur. Everything should be stable. etc. The troops have accumulated enough strength before launching operations." Lieutenant Zuo Cunshang mustered up the courage to stand up and put forward his own ideas.

At this moment, the head of the brigade seemed to have lost his mind. Facing the heavy casualties of the reinforcements, he was not only clueless, but also a little panicked.As the chief of staff of the brigade, if he didn't come forward to make up his mind and help the brigade leader find a way, the headquarters would definitely be in chaos, and the morale of the troops would be turbulent, which would affect the morale and morale of the entire mixed brigade.

Seeing that Colonel Kawasaki was still frowning and staring at the sand table without saying a word, and had no response to his proposal, Lieutenant Chief Cunshang could only continue: "Our opponent is very cunning, and there are many tactics and tactics. But In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy will become vulnerable. If we want to win a battle and defeat them, we must hold heavy troops and not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity."

General Kawasaki suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhongzuo Cunshang with admiration, and said, "You speak very well."

"I was so angry just now that I almost lost my mind. As the head of the brigade, you must keep calm at all times and not let your thoughts be affected by a defeat. Thank you for your reminder."

"Cunshangjun, you are a very qualified chief of staff."

"I haven't fought directly with the Yizhong Eighth Route Army before. All I know about them comes from previous battles. The battle of Peishan made me see their cunning and toughness again."

"In the face of such an opponent, no matter how we use tactics, we cannot be foolproof. As long as the troops show a little weakness in the sweep, they will be caught by them and the situation will be broken."

"Only by mobilizing heavy troops to sweep the Yizhong Plain and making their tactics useless in the face of powerful strength can we avoid all kinds of accidents, win a single battle, and defeat them."

"The four words "sit hard and taste courage" are well used."

"From now on, all units under the Baoding Mixed Brigade will not be able to actively provoke the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing, and all units will strictly guard their garrisons, and will not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity."

"I'll contact the headquarters immediately, and ask Your Excellency, Commander, to give us additional strength."

"This time we must gather at least [-] troops to act, and no one can act in advance."

Speaking of this, Colonel Kawasaki suddenly thought of something, slammed the table down, and said with a face of enlightenment: "I really want to know why the Yizhong Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked Yi County."

"If there hadn't been this battle in Yi County, the current Baoding City should be able to dispatch six infantry brigades, one chariot brigade, one cavalry brigade, one field artillery brigade, and three regiments of the Royal Association Army, a total of more than 1000 troops to sweep The Plain of Wings."

"The Eighth Route Army knew that they were not our opponents, so they took the initiative to attack Yi County, exhausted our army's strength by encircling the points, and disrupted our mopping rhythm by the way."

"This time we must not be fooled by them again."

"Before the sweep begins, no matter how provocative the Eighth Route Army is, our army cannot take the initiative to attack."

Lieutenant Assistant Cunshang thought for a moment that this was really the case, and in order to strengthen Dazuo Kawasaki's determination to defeat the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, he flattered him: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is wise, we will attack whatever the Eighth Route Army is afraid of, and we will not give them any chance to take advantage of it." , and don’t give them a chance to defeat us.”

"When the troops are assembled, the [-] troops will sweep over directly."

"Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, gods block and kill gods, no matter what tactics they use, they will become vulnerable to the torrent of steel and shells of the imperial army."

…………

At the General Command of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff rushed into the war room with a happy face, and raised the telegram tape in his hand to the deputy commander to report: "Chief, good news..."

"Didn't the Baoding Japanese army ask for a lot of reinforcements from the surrounding garrisons, and plan to gather heavy troops to sweep the Yizhong base again?"

"In order to reduce Kong Jie's anti-mopping pressure, we have strictly ordered the troops operating in the path that the devils must pass to take the initiative to attack, consume the reinforcements of the devils, and slow down their marching speed."

"The combat effect was very good...there were more than 600 reinforcements from the four routes, and less than 4000 of them made it to Baoding alive, including 700 to [-] seriously wounded, and more than [-] people were wiped out by the troops along the way. The results are remarkable. "

The deputy commander-in-chief's face immediately beamed with joy, and said happily: "It was a good fight..."

"In the past, seven or eight regiments were mobilized to fight the devils, and it was difficult to eliminate more than 700 little devils at once."

"In this operation, we only mobilized three main regiments and some local troops, and the casualties were very small, which definitely took advantage of it."

The chief of staff then reported: "Chief, this victory is at best an appetizer, and the real main course is yet to come."

"In order to smash the Baoding Japanese army's raid on the Yizhong base area, while we were helping, Kong Jie and Huang Yu were not idle."

"Proactively attack Yi County, encircle and fight for reinforcements, severely damage the reinforcement troops sent by Baoding to the front-line men in the Peishan area, wipe out more than 3000 little devils, nearly a thousand puppet troops, and seize a large number of weapons and equipment."

"In this way, although the Baoding Japanese army received more than 3000 reinforcements from other places, they lost more than 3000 people in Yi County and Peishan, and also lost all the artillery of a field artillery brigade. Not only did the total strength not increase, but the morale of the troops also declined Because of this big defeat, I have fallen a lot, it can be said that I have lost my wife and lost my army, and the operation to sweep Yizhong's base has to be temporarily terminated."

"Kong Jie also reported: In order to prevent the troops from being defeated by us again, the Japanese army in Baoding strictly ordered the troops stationed in various places not to take the initiative to attack the Yizhong base area and not to provoke the Yizhong Eighth Route Army."

"They plan to take this opportunity to take the initiative to attack again, and use it as a substitute training. While expanding the guerrilla zone in the enemy-occupied area, while consolidating the base area, while improving the combat effectiveness of the troops through actual combat, they can further consume the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops through these small fights. To achieve the goal of killing four birds with one stone."

The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned when he heard the telegram. He read the telegram twice in a row before reacting from the shock. The smile on his face became stronger and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It is said that offense is the best defense. This sentence It was true."

"With the current strength of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, if it defends the base area passively, in the face of more than 1 days of puppet troops sweeping it, even if it defends the base area, it will suffer heavy losses."

"As a result, they did the opposite, actively provoked the war before the devils launched a big sweep, and took the initiative to attack the enemy-occupied area. Not only can they control the initiative on the battlefield, but they can also transfer the battlefield to the enemy-occupied area, reducing the damage caused by the war to the base area. get more."

"I think this style of play is worth promoting throughout the army."

"Call Kong Jie back immediately and ask him to carefully summarize the experience and lessons of the Battle of Pei Shan, and then report to the headquarters."

"By the way, tell him that the headquarters fully supports the tactics he implemented in the Yizhong Plain. I hope they will continue to work hard to further injure the Baoding Japanese and puppet troops. Every time they can break up the Japanese puppet army's sweep of the Yizhong Plain in advance and hold the base area. .”

The chief of staff continued to report: "In addition to the battle report, Kong Jie also hopes that the headquarters will support some of their local cadres."

"When the Second Regiment was the Second Brigade, the base area was not large, and there were very few local cadres in reserve. Now the base area has tripled in size, and there are several in all counties. They have already run out of local cadres. Today, the local cadres in three counties are represented by military cadres, which is not conducive to local development and will also affect the construction of base areas."

"According to their current development speed, the future Yizhong base will definitely be more than the current four counties. Let's send as many as possible."

"Kong Jie also hopes that the local cadres we send over should preferably have been in war and have experience in commanding operations."

"I feel that Kong Jie and Huang Yu are digging holes for the little devils again, and the headquarters will support them both emotionally and rationally."

The deputy commander did not hesitate at all, and made a decision with a wave of his hand: "It must be given..."

"Kong Jie has made many military exploits, and he has given the headquarters one surprise after another, and he rarely asks for it. We must support such an outstanding cadre."

"We finally have something to ask us to help, and we must not refuse."

"Assign them according to the standards of the five counties, try to recruit local cadres with military combat experience, and see what hole Kong Jie and Huang Yu have dug for the little devil."

…………

The Guanjiabao stronghold is a medium-sized stronghold where the Japanese and puppet troops in Fangshan blocked Dashan.

Originally, there were only more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops stationed. After Ningji Okamura transferred [-] elite troops, although the garrison at the stronghold did not increase, a reinforced brigade was stationed in a town five kilometers behind the stronghold.

If the stronghold is attacked, the reinforcements can arrive in more than half an hour on a quick march.

In the absence of nightlife, the stronghold became very quiet as soon as nine o'clock in the evening. Only the searchlight on the top of the gun tower was still swinging back and forth, illuminating the surroundings of the stronghold to prevent people from sneaking into the stronghold.

"boom……"

A gunshot cut through the tranquility of the night, the dazzling searchlight was instantly extinguished, and the stronghold became pitch black at the same time.

The alarm sounded suddenly, and the stronghold quickly became lively.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, some with rifles and armed belts, some with light machine guns, and went straight to the gun towers and bunkers, all wanting to get into the fighting position immediately.

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

The sound of firefights soon rang out on the battlefield, mixed with the sound of many shell explosions. After a while, the stronghold was riddled with holes and suffered heavy casualties. They had to ask for help from the rear garrison.

Five kilometers away from the Japanese army station, the assembly whistle sounded suddenly, and the little devils, who had been awakened by the gunshots, quickly rushed out of the tent and rushed to the assembly point in small groups.

In less than 5 minutes, two infantry squadrons, half a mortar squadron, and half a heavy machine gun squadron, a total of more than 500 little devils rushed to the Guanjiapu stronghold, and the deputy captain personally led the team.
