The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Impossible, how could there be the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Yi County? Could it be that they made a mistake and fell into the Eighth Route Army's plan to attack east and west..." Major General Kawasaki stared at the county seat of Yi County on the sand table and asked back with a look of disbelief.

"Although a regiment of the Eighth Route Army was active there, they were still on the front line last night to deal with the commandos we sent. After dawn, there was no sign of troop deployment. Now it is only two hours before dark. Yi County is tens of kilometers away from the front line. Wangdu No matter how fast the garrison marches, it is impossible to suddenly appear outside Yi County."

"The telegram for help said that the siege Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of direct-firing artillery. They are different from mortars and must travel on roads to maneuver quickly. However, our reconnaissance planes did not find any traces of the Eighth Route Army artillery units on the road."

The head of the brigade's analysis was well-founded, and in an instant he confused the lieutenant assistant Cunshang, and he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

But the content of the telegram was clearly written. If there was no more than [-]% certainty, the Yi County Defense Team would definitely not send this telegram.

Soon he thought of another question: his brows frowned immediately, and his entire face was replaced by worry at this moment, looking at Major General Kawasaki and said anxiously.

"wrong……"

"Brigade Commander, we seem to have missed a unit..."

"The Eighth Route Army operating in the Yizhong Plain not only has three garrison regiments, but also a second regiment."

"Only three garrison regiments participated in the battle last night, and the troops were divided into three groups to attack our six commandos. The second regiment never showed up to participate in the battle."

"The humble staff thought that the proportion of their recruits was too high, the training time was too short, and the troops did not form combat effectiveness, so they had to stay in the mountains to continue training."

"If the Eighth Route Army that attacked Yi County was the Duer Regiment, we not only underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Duer Regiment, but also fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick of secretly plotting against Chen Cang and diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

"The three garrison regiments took the initiative to attack, while consuming our army's commandos, they also attracted our army's attention and created opportunities for the Duer regiment to attack Yi County."

"Snapped……"

Major General Kawasaki slammed his clenched fist hard on the sand table in front of him, and the suspicious expression on his face also turned into anger at this moment, red and red, like a powder cartridge about to explode.

Although he didn't say a word, the overreaction on his face already told everyone the answer.

It took a long time before he spoke: "Secretizing Chencang, the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has a really big appetite, and they will never miss a chance. If they catch a loophole in our defense, they will fight to the death. They are too bullying."

"Contact the Air Corps immediately. Tomorrow, we will continue to bomb the base of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong. We will bomb all the Eighth Route Army garrisons and battalion-level headquarters that the intelligence department has locked down before. I don't believe we can't beat them."

"Think twice, general..." Lieutenant Zuo Cunshang was taken aback by the brigade commander's impulsive decision, and hurriedly reminded him.

"Today, the air force successfully destroyed the regiment headquarters of the Duer Regiment by surprise attack, and severely damaged the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing."

"One learns one's wisdom, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely not make the same mistake again."

"Tonight will definitely be transferred overnight, no matter how many planes we send, they will all be in vain."

"But our garrisons scattered in various places are different. We must rely on various strongholds to ensure our own safety, maintain local law and order, and ensure that the occupied areas are always under our control."

"As long as the Yizhong Eighth Route Army is brave enough, it can send troops to attack these strongholds at any time, further consuming our small number of troops."

"If they are allowed to continue to attack the city in the occupied area, we will definitely suffer in the end, and we will be the first to lose."

"The humble official believes that the most urgent task now is to destroy the momentum of the Eighth Route Army to attack the occupied area again, and force them out of the occupied area, so that the two sides will not interfere with each other."

"After we gather enough strength, we will send troops to sweep the Yizhong Plain."

The anger on Major General Kawasaki's face was dissipating little by little. After staring at the sand table for another 2 minutes, he began to give an order: "Immediately send an emergency call to the Yi County garrison team, let them defend the county at all costs, and fight to the death. .”

"The brigade headquarters will immediately mobilize heavy troops to support them, and there will be air forces to provide them with air support after dawn."

"Defend the county seat of Yixian County and repel the Eighth Route Army's siege troops. The brigade headquarters will reward them a lot. I will personally go to the front army headquarters to ask for credit for them."

After hearing this, Lieutenant Chief Cun had a new question in his mind, and he quickly reminded: "General, Baoding City has no troops to reinforce Yi County. Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"I know..." Major General Kawasaki replied calmly.

"Then where do you plan to deploy the reinforcements you just mentioned?" Lieutenant Assistant Cun Shang continued to ask, becoming more and more confused.

Major General Kawasaki shook his head: "Not a single soldier will be dispatched. The reinforcements are just my hope for the Yi County Garrison."

"If they know that Baoding City is unable to reinforce them, the morale of the troops will definitely drop, which in turn will affect the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the troops."

"Originally, they were able to kill thousands of Eighth Route Army in the battle of defending the city. After knowing that Yi County has no reinforcements, it would be good if they could kill Seven Hundred and Eighth Route Army in battle."

"If you want to cause the greatest damage to the Eighth Route Army through the defense of the city, and make the death of the Yi County garrison worthwhile, you must let them see the hope of defending Yi County. The reinforcements are the hope."

Zhongzuo Cunshang slowly revealed an expression of enlightenment.

It turned out that the reinforcements that the head of the brigade said did not exist, and everything was deceiving the Yi County garrison, making them fight to the death for a reinforcement that did not exist.

Although it's a bit unkind to do this, I'm sorry for the Yi County Defense Team.

But in order to form the future of the brigade, and for the sake of the overall situation, the troops should cut off their wrists and must cut off their wrists. Only with sacrifices can there be gains.

Major General Kawasaki didn't give the Chief of Staff too much time to digest. He looked at the sand table and continued to order: "Intelligence department, reconnaissance troops, all act for me, and find the Eighth Route Army active in our occupied area at all costs."

"When we raided the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, we could not escape the eyes of the Eighth Route Army."

"Why can't we find even a trace of the Eighth Route Army in the area occupied by the imperial army? This is so outrageous."

"The intelligence department and the investigation force must give me an explanation."

"Aviation prepares a squadron to cooperate with us unconditionally."

"If we find an Eighth Route Army, we will send out planes to blow up one, and if one plane is not enough, we will send out two. If we can't wipe out all of them, we will blow them up, and we have to withdraw from our occupied area."

…………

"Rumble..."

Two thunderous explosions soon sounded on the outer wall of the Yi County Garrison Headquarters, thick smoke billowed, and two large holes were blown out of the nearly three-meter-high brick wall in an instant.

In the violent explosion, the Japanese and puppet troops hiding behind the brick wall were blown up to a large area at the same time, and the screams were endless.

"Rumble..."

The same explosion sounded again, and the hole directly turned into a big gap, opening its arms to the attacking troops.

The sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out at the same time, and the bullets whized along the gap and flew into the yard, not giving the Japanese and puppet troops any chance to block the gap.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward in battle formation. Some of them held light machine guns and held fire while charging;

After a while, six grenades fell from the sky and hit the gap.

Although the power is not as powerful as the field artillery, it is still no problem to kill a few Japanese and puppet troops who were suppressed by the heavy machine guns in the gap.

Before the explosion was over, the second round of grenades had already followed.

Under the cover of the explosion, more than a dozen soldiers rushed behind the brick walls on both sides of the gap.

Take out the grenade again, fire it, hold it in your hand for three seconds, throw it in along the gap, and continue to eliminate the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the gap to minimize the risk of assault.

The two machine gunners looked at each other, nodded, and leaned out from behind the brick wall together, holding crooked handles in their arms, facing the front yard on the other side of the brick wall, and several riflemen rushed in at the same time. Open the gap and enter the garrison headquarters.

Dozens of Japanese and puppet soldiers who stood in the front yard of the headquarters were killed or wounded, and almost all lost their combat effectiveness.

A few little devils who were still breathing still wanted to take the opportunity to shoot coldly, but the two machine gunners guarding the gap did not give them this chance.

The rain of bullets came roaring, and quickly smashed their bodies into sieves.

After occupying the front yard, the commando continued to attack, bombing with grenades for a while, and strafing with machine guns for a while. In less than 5 minutes, the sound of firefighting in the backyard of the headquarters stopped, and the company commander hurried to Kong Jie.

"Regimental Commander, the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in Yi County has been taken down by us. None of the forty or so little devils left in the city slipped through the net. They were all wiped out in the backyard of the headquarters. Captain Shao Zuo was killed by the commando."

Kong Jie's face was already full of joy. Looking at the battle map in the war room that had not been completely destroyed by the devils, he ordered with a smile on his face: "The troops clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and count the battle results and battle damage. I will know the results in an hour."

"Immediately send a telegram to the chief of staff. The main force of the regiment has successfully captured Yi County and wiped out the Yi County garrison. Please rest assured."

"Send another telegram to Deng Jingye, asking him to bring a battalion over to take over Yi County's defense."

"Although we took Yi County down, there are still many remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops in Yi County."

"If you want to develop Yi County into a base area, you must first eliminate all these enemies."

"The main task of the regiment has been completed, and the next thing will be handed over to them."

Ten minutes later, the radio operator suddenly ran towards Kong Jie with a nervous expression on his face: "Commander, we can't get in touch with the chief of staff..."

Kong Jie asked subconsciously: "No way...the radio station of the regiment headquarters is on 24 hours a day, how could it be impossible to get in touch? Have you called a few more times? Maybe the radio station of the regiment headquarters is sending and receiving messages, and there is no way to contact us for the time being."

The radio operator replied with certainty: "I have contacted. I have contacted five times within 10 minutes, but there is no response from the regiment headquarters."

Hearing this, Kong Jie still didn't expect that something would happen to the headquarters.

The headquarters of the Duer Regiment is located deep in the mountains, and the possibility of exposure is very low.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it was really exposed, the Japanese army would not be able to quietly pass through the three defense regiment defense areas and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the wing center base, let alone attack the regiment headquarters.

Looking at the radio operator, he said confidently, "It must be something wrong with the regiment headquarters radio station, so don't worry too much."

"Directly send a telegram to the Shunping garrison regiment where the deputy chief of staff is located, and ask the deputy chief of staff to send someone to tell the chief of staff that the main force of the regiment has captured Yi County and is expected to withdraw to the base tomorrow night."
