The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 670
"Brigade Commander, urgent telegram from the aviation..." When Zuo Zuoyue said more embarrassingly, the radio operator suddenly ran over.

"They found a large number of the Eighth Route Army two kilometers northwest of Wangdu, with a total strength of more than 600, and they were evacuating Wangdu County in squads and platoons."

"Nani..." Major General Kawasaki quickly shifted his attention to the radio operator, and asked back with disbelief on his face.

"What else did the Airmen say?"

"They suspected that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn from Wangdu County. They wanted to launch an attack from the sky, but they were too scattered and quickly rushed into the valleys on both sides of the road and disappeared from the battlefield."

Major General Kawasaki's face slowly turned pale, facing the iron-like facts, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to admit that he had been fooled.

Looking at the completely destroyed Wangdu County in front of him, he said regretfully, "Bageya Road, we were fooled."

"The Duer Regiment is not in Wangdu City, our opponent only has one garrison regiment."

"If we send troops into the city when the third brigade is under attack, not only can we rescue the third brigade, but we can also take the opportunity to wipe out the Wangdu garrison... Why didn't I act impulsively at that time?"

Nakamaka Zuo regretted it even more than Major General Kawasaki.

He was the first to put forward the inference that there was an ambush by the Eighth Route Army in the city, and it turned out that all the ambush and conspiracy were his imagination.

Now that the entire Third Brigade has been wiped out, and the Eighth Route Army garrison regiment defending Wangdu County has successfully withdrawn from the battlefield, if Ningji Okamura is going to blame him, he must be the No. 1 pick.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. As a middle and senior commander, he must be responsible for his actions.

The whole person aged several years in an instant, the previous high-spiritedness, pointing out the country, and the arrogance that should be the chief of staff of the brigade... all disappeared without a trace.

Major General Kawasaki regretted it, but he did not forget his duty. After a minute of silence, he began to issue an order: "The troops will search Wangdu County again, blow up all the tunnel crossings, and enter the city to set up camp after confirming that it is safe."

"Call back your Excellency Commander immediately: The Eighth Route Army that is guarding the county town of Wangdu only has a garrison regiment, not the Duer regiment."

"More than 600 people from the remnant of the Wangdu Defense Regiment have already evacuated the county through tunnels."

"Our department plans to rest in Wangdu County for one night, leaving all the wounded and some supplies and ammunition, and continue to sweep the Yizhong base tomorrow."

"Commander, please reply to Fujita-kun. The mopping forces on the left have taken Wangdu County. The battle is over. Please continue to encircle and suppress the Central Wing Base of the Eighth Route Army according to the original mopping plan."

After speaking, he sat down on the ammunition box, as if the order just now had exhausted all his strength.

…………

The Baoding Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters, after learning that he had been happy for nothing, Okamura Ningji was enraged again, and he dropped several vases before calming down.

Walking to the sand table, he analyzed with a serious face: "One garrison regiment has eaten up two infantry battalions of the mopping forces on the left. Such a battle loss ratio is too surprising."

"This is only the loss caused to our army by the garrison regiment."

"If their most powerful Solitary Regiment takes action, accidents may happen to any sweeping troops along the way."

"We must find the trace of the Duertuan as soon as possible."

"Intelligence department, reconnaissance unit, aviation unit, all move for me."

"There are thousands of troops and more than a dozen field artillery pieces. It is impossible to disappear out of thin air. There must be something that we have overlooked and did not look for."

The deputy chief of staff nodded to show that he knew, but he didn't leave immediately. Looking at the commander with a serious face, he asked, "Then, should we change the mopping plan we are implementing?"

Neiji Okamura shook his head: "No need."

"Although the mopping forces on the left wiped out the two infantry brigades, their opponent, the Wangdu garrison regiment, also paid a huge price. There are more than 600 people left in the regiment, and they have almost lost their combat effectiveness."

"Except for the Duer Regiment, the Wangdu Defense Regiment itself is no longer a threat to their safety."

"As long as the troops step up their guard in the next operation and don't give the Second Regiment an opportunity, they will be fine."

"There are also three infantry brigades in the central mopping force, and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army. The Shunping garrison regiment who blocked them also suffered heavy casualties, and their safety is no problem."

"Although the mopping forces on the right are strong, their losses are minimal, and their safety is no problem."

"The sooner we discover the traces of the Solitary Second Regiment, the sooner the mopping up troops can encircle them and annihilate them."

"If you can't find it, you can only rely on the sweeping troops in the middle to successfully raid Chenzhuang, block the only way the Duer regiment must pass to enter the mountain, and find a way to gather and annihilate them outside the mountain."

…………

At the front enemy headquarters of Chen Zhuang's Second Regiment, Li Yunlong's voice had already come in before Li Yunlong arrived.

"Idiot Kong Er, I, Li Yunlong, are back..."

"Hahaha... The battle of Wangdu was so fun. The two infantry brigades, our old Li, was wiped out by the Wangdu garrison with a wave of his hand."

"If it weren't for the heavy loss and insufficient troops, I would still like to swallow another infantry brigade there."

"See if you can do it?" Kong Jie said angrily.

"Xiao Huang killed [-] little devils in Taipingzhuang, and the Kwantung Army, which is known as the most powerful Japanese army, didn't remember being so arrogant. You are so kind."

"I don't compare myself to Xiao Huang..." Li Yunlong shook his head and walked into the headquarters.

Staring at Kong Jie, he asked, "What did you call me back from so far away? The mopping up troops on the left have just been killed by the Wangdu garrison regiment, and their morale is low. I just want to strike while the iron is hot, trying to find a way to bite off a piece of fat from them." , and then I was called back by your kid, and I had to put the troops into a repair state."

At the same time, Huang Yu shifted his gaze to Kong Jie.

He had just arrived at the headquarters not long ago, and he didn't know the specific reason why the regiment leader asked him to come back.

"Big thing..." Kong Jie said with a serious expression on his face, pointing at the map.

"According to the original battle plan, our decisive battle goal is to mop up the troops on the right side. Picking up the soft persimmons will allow us to destroy the mopping up troops along the way with the least cost, and cut off one of their fingers, so that the remaining two mopping up troops will withdraw from the base area. "

"As a result, the situation on the battlefield changed too quickly, and the two of you were too good at fighting. The team that used to be the strongest in the middle lane turned out to be the weakest lane."

"I decided to change the goal of the decisive battle to sweep the troops in the middle."

"Swallowing the Kwantung Army with the strongest fighting power in one gulp will surely scare the shit out of the other two mopping-up troops."

"If you think there is no problem, then I will ask Huang Qi to strengthen the blocking force, slow down the attack speed of the Japanese and puppet troops on the right, and buy time for us to gather and annihilate the sweeping troops in the middle."

"The mopping up troops on the left are also mainly blocking. If there is a good opportunity, it would be better to kill more Japanese and puppet troops."

"Xiaohuang will find a way to kill another thousand Japanese puppet troops, and I will be [-]% sure to wipe out the troops in the middle of Chenzhuang."

Li Yunlong took a serious look at Kong Jie, and after confirming that he was not joking with him, he had to admit that Kong Jie had changed a lot compared to a year ago.

It is said that Li Yunlong is very courageous. Compared with Kong Jie, his courage is nothing at all.

When he was the commander of the regiment in Northwest Shanxi, he was fortunate enough to fight against the Kwantung Army. A reinforced battalion fought an infantry squadron of the Kwantung Army. After fighting for two hours, he couldn't chew this bone. In the end, he had to improvise and end the battle.

For an army, the increase in strength means that the overall combat effectiveness has increased geometrically.

If a reinforced battalion can face a squadron of the Kwantung Army, and if it wants to face a full-staffed infantry brigade of the Kwantung Army, two regiments may not be enough.

But now the Kwantung Army facing the Yizhong base has a brigade, and Kong Jie actually wants to swallow them all in one gulp.

After staring at Kong Jie for a long time, he asked back, "Kong Er fool, you didn't talk big to me. You really plan to keep this brigade of the Kwantung Army."

"Of course..." Kong Jie replied firmly.

"It's rare to meet the Kwantung Army once, and there is still a chance to wipe them out, so you can't miss it."

"Our Eighth Route Army will go to the Northeast sooner or later. At that time, we will face all the Kwantung Army. We just take this opportunity to practice and accumulate some Kwantung Army experience."

"Maybe in the future when we march into the Northeast, the Duer Regiment will be able to become a forward."

"March into the Northeast?" Li Yunlong was dumbfounded again by Kong Jie's answer.

I was still thinking about returning to Northwest Shanxi to become the head of the new regiment, and Kong Jie had already thought of marching to the Northeast, and this vision alone was not comparable to my own view of the overall situation.

At this moment, Li Yunlong finally felt the gap between himself and Kong Jie.

I didn’t know it without comparison before, but now I found out through comparison: for more than a year, Kong Jie has been growing, learning, and improving in the war, while he himself is standing still.

Kong Jie was no longer the stunned young man he used to be. Seeing Li Yunlong staring at him with a shocked face, he knew that he was frightened by the words marching into the northeast, so he immediately replied: "I do have the idea of ​​marching into the northeast."

"Even if the general headquarters has no plans in this regard for the time being, I would like to try it myself. Anyway, the Yizhong base is not very far from the northeast."

"Ningji Okamura can send troops from the northeast to reinforce Baoding and encircle and suppress us."

"We can also send troops to infiltrate into the Northeast and grow stronger in the Northeast."

"The Beiping Guerrilla Brigade is the best example. Maybe we will be able to set up a guerrilla brigade in the Northeast in the future."

"I won't say much outside the topic, let's get down to business, what do you think about changing the goal of the decisive battle, if you have no opinion, we will implement it immediately."

Huang Yu spoke first: "I have no objection..."

"The Japanese and puppet army's central raid troops have already occupied Shunping, and they will definitely place the wounded there, leaving some troops to defend the city.",

"The Shunping garrison group is lurking near the county seat. When the main force of the Japanese puppet army moves away, they will enter the county seat through tunnels, recapture Shunping, and kill the little devils who stayed behind."

"No matter what happens in this battle, we can kill four or five hundred Japanese puppet troops."

"The tunnel fortifications in Pingyang Town are very well-established, and the town is big enough. It is no problem to fight a street fight with the devils. It is also a battlefield I preset for the devils."

"Although the Shunping garrison suffered a lot of losses and its strength is a bit insufficient, relying on tunnels, it will definitely be no problem to kill the seven or eight hundred Japanese puppet troops."
