The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 637 Catch the ducks on the shelves (first update)
At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Kawasaki Dazuo got his wish and was promoted to major general, and the word "agent" was also removed from his head, becoming a veritable brigade head of the mixed brigade.

This would have been a good thing to celebrate, but Major General Kawasaki was not at all happy.

Looking at the telegram that Neiji Okamura just sent, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Brigade Commander, the intelligence shows that after the offensive and defensive battle in Yi County, the Eighth Route Army operating in the Yizhong area is frantically recruiting and training troops." The chief of staff decided to add fire to this matter. , Further strengthen the determination of the brigade head to implement the military order, and take the initiative to stand up.

"There is a lot of gunfire at the garrison every day."

"It is very difficult for other Eighth Route Army troops to conduct live-fire training once a month. The frequency of live-fire training for the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong is like a routine, indicating that they are eager to let the troops form combat effectiveness."

"The humble officer also found out that the strength of each garrison regiment in the Yizhong base of the Eighth Route Army has expanded to 2000, and the total strength of the Duer Regiment has exceeded 3000. It is equipped with a large number of artillery and has sufficient ammunition."

"Once this force is formed into combat effectiveness, our opponent will be an elite force with a scale of [-] people."

"Although the mixed brigade does not yet have the strength to sweep the Yizhong Plain, we can find ways to harass the Yizhong Plain, slow down their development speed, and create conditions for our next sweep of the Yizhong Plain."

Major General Kawasaki's face was very ugly. Although he had only fought against the Yizhong Eighth Route Army once, he still remembered it vividly, and was even a little afraid of them.

He raised his eyebrows and replied seriously: "Drop a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, two infantry brigades, a certain number of mountain artillery and infantry artillery, and form several action teams to use guerrilla warfare to sneak attack the Eighth Route Army's base areas."

"Little devil, there are little devils attacking us outside the garrison. The total force exceeds 400 people, equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery..."

This is a very difficult choice, and one wrong step may fall into the abyss.

One battalion and one company of the Wangdu garrison regiment were stationed. More than 100 soldiers were sleeping soundly in the corresponding room. More than a dozen soldiers were scattered around the station.

As soon as the troops were assembled, gunshots came from outside the garrison. This was the sound of firefights between the patrol and the Japanese and puppet troops. A soldier rushed into the garrison at the same time, and when he found the company commander, he said in horror.

The commander of the Baoding Japanese Army Brigade is not, and the lieutenant assistant Cunshang is sorting out the good news just received by the communication department.

It's all said and done for this point, and I'm too sorry for the commander's trust and support for me.

Actually, it's not their fault.

In the entire company, only the first row has fully formed combat effectiveness, the second row has initially formed combat effectiveness, and the third row has the worst combat effectiveness.The opponent has 500 people and is well equipped. The company commander's arrangement is obviously to take on the most dangerous task, and it is very likely that they will never return.

The devil's move was very effective. The troops were almost at the door of the house, and there was still no warning from the battalion to the company.

The chief of staff persuaded again: "Brigade commander, give an order..."

"When the Eighth Route Army fought guerrilla warfare with us, they would fight if they could, and if they couldn't, they would run away. If we follow the example of the gourd, we will definitely not have any problems."

They are the commando team just formed by Major General Kawasaki. It has an infantry squadron, a company of the Royal Association Army, an infantry artillery squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and a mortar squad. There are more than 480 people in total. The target of the attack was the first battalion and one face of the garrison regiment in Wangdu County, which was next to their occupied area.

The chief of staff said it swearingly, as if the Eighth Route Army would be beaten to pieces as soon as the troops were shot.

Yilian not only had to ensure the safety of the garrison, but also protect the people in the village. If the troops left, they would definitely become the targets of the Japanese and puppet troops to vent their anger and suffer heavy losses.

"The current situation in Yizhong has not yet reached the point where the enemy is strong and we are weak. It is still the enemy who is weak and we are strong. The troops will fight back with the guerrilla warfare that the Eighth Route Army is good at. The combat effect should be better, and we will definitely achieve unexpected results."

"Brigade Leader..."

Looking at his old partner, he replied very seriously: "Don't worry, the company commander, I will definitely transfer the folks to the rear safely... You have to take care, and don't confront the devil head-on."

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Eighth Route Army around the stronghold, the troops set out early in the morning, and at the same time sent troops to seal off the town next to the stronghold, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, so as to prevent the news of the troops dispatching from being leaked.

The radio operator walked in again, as if eating candied fruit, and reported excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call."

"However, due to the long distance and difficult coordination, it will take two months for the reinforcements to arrive in Baoding at the earliest."

If the order is not carried out, a hat for disobeying the military order will be deducted immediately, and the ending will not be much better.

On the road about five kilometers away from the station, a Japanese and puppet army is marching forward in a hurry.

After speaking, he rushed towards the village with three platoons.

…………

The soldiers patrolling at the door immediately formed a battle formation and rushed towards the location of the gunshot. The soldiers who were sleeping got up from the bed at the same time, picked up their weapons and ammunition, and rushed out.

Now asking troops to use guerrilla warfare, which they are least good at, against the Eighth Route Army, which is particularly good at guerrilla warfare, is tantamount to showing off their martial arts in front of their masters and asking for trouble.

"Warning to all the commanders of the troops participating in the war, you must be cautious in your actions, fight if you can take advantage of it, and retreat if you can't take advantage of it. You must not advance alone and make the big mistake of underestimating the enemy."

The frown was deeper than before, and he took out the box gun and ordered seriously: "The troops will disperse immediately, and establish a defensive line on the spot. Be sure to block the Japanese and puppet troops. Hurry up..."

The North China Front Army is best at fighting tough battles and positional warfare, while the Eighth Route Army is good at fighting guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.

The instructor wanted to say no, but he couldn't.

But these gunshots were enough to wake up a company of sleeping soldiers.

"In order to eliminate the Eighth Route Army operating in the Yizhong area as soon as possible, Your Excellency the Commander decided to ask the Kwantung Army for help, and dispatched a main brigade from the northeast to go south to reinforce Baoding."

The first battle of the mixed brigade in Baoding was defeated, and the psychological shadow caused to Major General Kawasaki is definitely not something that can be repaired in a few days.

Neiji Okamura wants to form a brigade to attack immediately, and attack the Yizhong Plain when the troops are insufficient. Isn't this driving ducks to the shelves and looking for death?
Major General Kawasaki was under a lot of pressure, and felt that his confidant would definitely fail after executing the order.

"Instructor..." The company commander realized something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and ordered with a calm face.

"The Eighth Route Army likes to lure the enemy deep and attack us in an ambush."

Now the overall strength of the mixed brigade has not increased much, but the strength of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army is increasing day by day, which means that the disparity in strength between the two sides is breaking down little by little.

"boom……"

"Even if our guerrilla warfare doesn't work, the troops will be able to retreat unscathed."

"General, our plan to use guerrilla warfare to attack the Eighth Route Army has initially succeeded. Four commandos have sent good news. The commando with the most victories has successfully wiped out a company of the Eighth Route Army, and the commando with the worst results has also been defeated. One company of the Eighth Route Army, wiped out more than fifty Eighth Route Army, and captured half of the company's equipment."

The mixed brigade was not an opponent of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army before, let alone now.

Every time I receive an email, the smile on my face will increase, and I will feel very good.

Major General Kawasaki's tense nerves did not relax. Looking at the chief of staff, he asked anxiously, "Is our loss big?"

In everyone's perception, devils are well-equipped, and when they go out, they are either cars or chariots, and they go everywhere with great fanfare and mighty power.

But Major General Kawasaki is not optimistic about this style of play.

As soon as the company commander led his troops out of the station, the sound of firefighting stopped a few hundred meters away, and he knew without thinking that something happened to the patrol team.

However, this secret sentry was also suppressed by several light machine guns because it exposed the target, and was swept into a sieve before the second bullet could be fired.

A gunshot sounded about 800 meters away from the garrison, and a secret post hidden by the roadside found the Japanese and puppet troops, and rushed to give an early warning.

"You take three platoons to cover the villagers in the village and move to the rear. At the same time, send someone to contact the battalion commander and ask for reinforcements... I will take people up immediately and stop these little devils at all costs."

Chief of Staff Cunshang Zhongzuo is a fine person, and he saw Major General Kawasaki's concerns at a glance, picked up the telegram he had just put on the sand table and continued to analyze: "Although the mixed brigade does not have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, your Excellency the Commander obviously sees it. This point allows us to use sneak attacks to attack the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing, consume their strength, and slow down their development speed. Create a posture that we want to attack the plains in the middle of the wing, put pressure on the Eighth Route Army, and force them to withdraw their activities in the Fangshan area Eighth Route Army."

"Humble job has studied the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army. When we are strong and the enemy is weak, the Eighth Route Army has repeatedly defeated us through guerrilla warfare."

After receiving four good news in a row, he couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the war room with it.

After a long time, everyone took it for granted that the devils would not sneak attacks, and they were afraid of night battles, so their defense against the devils at night became much lax.

"As long as we don't rush forward and don't give the Eighth Route Army any chance, even if we don't win the battle, casualties are still within control."

The people there have been awakened by the gunshots, and are in a state of shock and panic, and urgently need the help of the troops.

…………

Okamura Ningji sent two consecutive telegrams asking him to attack, and he also pulled the Kwantung Army out to encourage him, obviously because he was worried that he would disobey the military order.

At that time, he was full of confidence and felt that he would be able to severely damage the Yizhong Eighth Route Army.As a result, an active attack by the Duer Regiment disrupted his sweeping rhythm, and severely damaged the mixed brigade, causing the mixed brigade to lose its ability to sweep the Yizhong Plain.

"Your Excellency, Commander, requires us to dispatch troops as soon as possible, and use guerrilla warfare to attack the Eighth Route Army operating in the wings, so as to prevent them from developing too fast, and at the same time force the main force of the Eighth Route Army active in Fangshan back."

Cunshang Zhongzuo shook his head: "Very little."

"The troops launched an attack at night, and the Eighth Route Army had no preparations, so they were all beaten up."

"In order to cover the transfer of ordinary people, our attack targets had to stick to their positions and confront us head-on."

"Our army is equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, and we suppress them as soon as the battle starts. The four raids are more like four unilateral massacres."
