The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Seeing that the chief of staff also had a hesitant expression on his face, he realized that he had similar ideas with his own, and immediately asked, "Mr. Cun, tell me what you think."

"Beizhi believes that the most important thing we should do now is to wait and see what happens, and not send troops to reinforce the third brigade for the time being."

"Why? This is obviously the best chance to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the city and take Shunping County. Why wait here? What if something happens to the third brigade?" The captain of the fourth brigade immediately objected.

"I suspect this is a conspiracy by the Eighth Route Army to lure us into the city to fight in the streets!" Lieutenant Zuo Cunshang immediately expressed his thoughts.

"It's impossible..." The captain of the fourth brigade retorted again.

"If the Eighth Route Army really wanted to lure us into the city to fight in the streets, why did they send troops to stop us when they annihilated the second brigade and prevent the third brigade from entering the city? I think this is a simple counterattack. There is no conspiracy. City, destroying the Eighth Route Army will take advantage of the trend to take down Shunping County."

Cunshang Zhongzuo shook his head: "You forgot that the Eighth Route Army is best at defeating each one..."

"We had nearly four infantry brigades when they surrounded and wiped out the second brigade."

"Leave one brigade to protect the artillery and headquarters, and the remaining three brigades can go to the city for reinforcements at any time. The total strength exceeds 4000. No matter how big the appetite of the Eighth Route Army is, it is impossible to swallow so many troops in one battle."

"After annihilating the second brigade, we only have two brigades left to go to the city for reinforcements. In addition, the third brigade lost a lot of people in the battle to reinforce the second brigade. The total strength is less than 3000."

"Deducting the losses of the Third Battalion in the Eighth Route Army's counterattack, the combat strength is likely to be less than 600 troops."

"Everyone, don't forget that in addition to the Wangdu garrison regiment, our opponent also has a more powerful Duer regiment."

"Since the start of the mopping up, more than 3000 elite members of the Duer Regiment have disappeared from our sight. Maybe these 3000 people are hiding in the city. Otherwise, how could the second brigade be wiped out in just two, three, and 10 minutes? Did not break out."

Both captains were silent.

It is true that they want to gain military exploits and take advantage of it, but if they know that the city is a trap, they will definitely not take the initiative to die.

The chief of staff's analysis is completely in line with the Eighth Route Army's combat style.

When the strength of the two sides is not equal, first find a way to defeat each of them and consume some of the mopping up troops; wait until the strength of the two sides is equal before gathering and annihilating them.

Street fighting is the best way for the Eighth Route Army to weaken the artillery and air superiority of the sweeping troops. If the Yizhong Eighth Route Army really plans to fight a large-scale street fighting with the sweeping troops in Wangdu County.

Once the troops entered the city, the planes in the sky, the artillery outside the city... would all be useless, and the sweeping troops could only fight against the Eighth Route Army with rifles and grenades.

Thinking of the fact that after the troops passed through the blocking position of Tancun, the whole journey was in turmoil, and there was almost no resistance. The two felt that the chief of staff's analysis was correct.

Then he cut off the idea of ​​immediately reinforcing the third brigade, and at the same time turned his attention to Major General Kawasaki, waiting for him to make a decision.

To be honest, Major General Kawasaki thought that the Eighth Route Army's counterattack against the Third Brigade might be a trap, but he never thought about the Duer Regiment that had disappeared for two or three days.

If this unit is really in Wangdu City, the Duer Regiment fighting in the streets is a bait laid by the Eighth Route Army, and the four or five brigades will not be able to enter the city easily.

Thinking about the strength of the Wangdu Defense Regiment and the Duer Regiment, I am even more sure that the chief of staff's judgment is more or less the same.

There are more than 5000 people in the two regiments, but the proportion of recruits in the team is relatively high, and the overall combat effectiveness will definitely be affected, which is equivalent to more than 4000 people.

It is very difficult to swallow your four brigades in one gulp, and you may be backlashed.

But in the absence of artillery superiority and air superiority, it is definitely no problem to swallow two large teams.

After all, they are more familiar with the city's terrain than themselves, and there are a lot of tunnels as bunkers to facilitate their transfer.

After entering the city, the mopping-up troops are like a bunch of blind people, they will definitely be played by the Eighth Route Army, they can fight as they like, and they will be wiped out bit by bit in the end.

After a long silence, he met his subordinates' eyes and replied: "The Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that has disappeared must be on guard. Before the true strength of the Eighth Route Army in the city is known, the remaining mopping up troops must not enter the city rashly."

"Contact the third brigade at the same time, and ask them to stabilize the line of defense and block the Eighth Route Army's counterattack troops."

"Didn't the Eighth Route Army want to use street fighting to consume a lot of our troops? We can also use the street fighting to consume a large amount of their troops and weaken their strength."

"Observation posts, aviation units, closely monitor the situation on the battlefield, and report to me as soon as there is any news."

…………

At the general headquarters of the Chenzhuang Second Regiment, the map in front of Kong Jie clearly marked the specific location and strength of the three-way mopping up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Their attack speed is very fast, and the corresponding battle damage is also very large, especially the sweeping troops in the middle and the sweeping troops in the left.

Chenzhuang, where the headquarters is located, is the final battlefield prepared by Kong Jie for the devils.

At this moment, Kong Jie is reviewing the decisive battle plan for the last time, checking for omissions and making up for gaps, so as to ensure the final victory of the anti-sweeping base in Yizhong.

"Reporting to the commander, Deputy Commander Li has an urgent call..." The communication platoon leader hurried over to report.

"The Wangdu garrison group successfully wiped out a strengthened brigade of the Japanese army in Wangdu County, losing more than 600 people..."

"Head Li decided to use the street fighting fortifications in the city to fight the devils again, and try to eat another brigade."

"I knew that Li Yunlong would turn into a runaway wild horse on the battlefield above. As expected, I don't know what ecstasy soup he gave Deng Jingye to go crazy with him." Kong Jie said in a bad mood after hearing this.

The chief of staff, Shen Quan, was very cautious in fighting. He frowned after thinking for a while, and then stood up to remind: "Commander, do you want to send a reminder telegram to Deng Jingye, so that they can fight at their leisure."

"Although the Wangdu garrison regiment has four main battalions, only three battalions have truly formed combat effectiveness. The number of troops participating in the battle is less than 500. After losing 600 people, the number of troops participating in the battle can be directly reduced to more than 800. It has four or five hundred more people than a full brigade of devils, and it doesn't take much of an advantage in strength."

"The troops fight continuously, and their physical strength is no match for the little devil."

"I worry that they will suffer a lot."

Kong Jie said what he said, but he had no doubts about Li Yunlong's commanding ability.

Shaking his head and refusing: "No need to send a telegram."

"Li Yunlong is just a lunatic. He won't be called Li Yunlong if he doesn't make some mistakes every time he fights."

"But no matter how you make mistakes, you can win the battle and defeat the little devil in the end."

"He dared to command the Wangdu garrison regiment to fight this battle, which shows that he has the bottom line in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have made this decision with his character of only taking advantage and not losing money."

"Just wait, I don't think it will take long for new news to come back."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the map and asked, "Where did the Japanese and puppet troops sweep up the middle road?"

Shen Quan immediately replied: "Deputy Chief of Staff Huang just sent a telegram: The Japanese and puppet troops have successfully occupied Shunping County. They plan to rest for one night and prepare a surprise for them tomorrow."

"Surprise?" Kong Jie's eyes lit up and he asked, "Did Xiao Huang say what exactly is surprise?"

Shen Quan shook his head: "I didn't say it, but based on what I know about Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, it will definitely be no problem to kill thousands of Japanese puppet troops with this surprise."

Kong Jie's eyes instantly became hot: "If the Shunping garrison can really kill more than 1000 Japanese puppet troops, then our decisive battle plan will have to be changed."

"Among the three-way mopping-up troops, the right-side mopping-up troops have the least number of troops. The original decisive battle plan was to pick the soft persimmons, attack the right-side mopping-up troops, eat up all the mopping-up troops, and force the remaining two mopping-up troops back."

"The battle has been fought until now, and the strongest mid-lane raiding force before has become the weakest lane."

"The mopping-up force in the middle is still the little devil's Kwantung Army, known as the army with the strongest combat effectiveness."

"If we can annihilate them in Chenzhuang, the other two mopping-up troops will definitely be scared to death, withdraw immediately, and dare not stay in our base area for a minute."

"Send a telegram to Huang Yu and Li Yunlong immediately, asking them to return to the headquarters as soon as possible."

…………

The command of the Baoding Japanese Army Brigade was not good, and Okamura Ningji's face was very ugly.

In his plan, after more than 2 sweeping troops set off, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army would definitely be defeated.

As a result, things backfired, and the Kwantung Army, which had high hopes, was the first to have an accident.

Taipingzhuang, a village that can't be found on the map, turned out to be an iron wall to stop the mopping troops in the middle. It just blocked them for an afternoon and a night, and caused them to lose 4000 to [-] people.

Neiji Okamura couldn't figure it out.

I don't know how many vases I dropped before I regained my composure.

In the end, before they had time to catch their breath, the mopping forces on the left suffered a big loss in Wangdu County, losing a reinforced brigade and six tanks.

Qi and blood surged up, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Followed by the sweeping troops on the right, first they lost half of the brigade in the villages everywhere, and then lost half of the brigade again in the battle to capture Tang County.

Although the losses in the two battles were not large, they still add up to a strengthened team.

They only had four brigades in total. After deducting the battle damage and the troops left behind in Tang County, the total force dropped sharply to two and a half brigades.

If the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing concentrates all its forces to deal with them, the sweeping troops on the right will definitely be in danger.

It made him have to send telegrams to the mopping forces on the right repeatedly, reminding them not to advance alone, but to strengthen their vigilance and not give the Eighth Route Army any chance to ambush them.
