The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Comrades, the commander's retreat order has arrived..."

In a yard close to the front line in the north of Baoding City, the commando led by Huang Qi's impromptu formation was mobilizing for a new round of offensive.

"But deputy head Li bought us an hour to attack."

"He said: How much more benefits we can make in Baoding and go back depends on everyone's progress in the next hour."

"The more positions my colleagues took, the more Japanese and puppet troops they eliminated, and the more spoils they captured."

"Flying thunder cannon, grenades, and mortars, all of them were aimed by me."

"Fire wherever there are enemies. Don't save ammunition for Lao Tzu, just use the mules and horses to transport the ammunition to transport the spoils of war."

"The commando team widened their eyes for me, and rushed forward when they saw an opportunity."

"But we must strengthen our vigilance, control casualties, and not fight hard."

"The Artillery is ready...to fire..."

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

Explosions with different sounds soon sounded in the north of the city, the flames soared into the sky, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air.

The sound of intensive firefights sounded on the battlefield at the same time.

In a short while, seven or eight courtyards were occupied by the Mancheng garrison regiment.

The commando troops were divided into three groups, carrying mortars and grenade launchers to charge forward quickly, aiming directly at the ammunition depot of the garrison in the north of the city.

A small ammunition depot dedicated to the garrison in the north of the city.

…………

Neiji Okamura, the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Army in Baoding, also heard the sound of firefights suddenly becoming denser in the north of the city.

The deputy chief of staff asked on the spot: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"The return troops have been wiped out by the main force of the Duer Regiment."

"The Eighth Route Army has achieved its goal of besieging and attacking reinforcements. Why don't the siege troops retreat?"

"Could it be that they still want to come around again to fight for aid?"

"Or the troops were lucky enough to enter the north of the city, and let them see the hope of completely occupying Baoding, so they are reluctant to leave."

Neiji Okamura snorted coldly and replied, "It's fine if you really don't want to leave."

"The sweeping troops suddenly return outside Baoding City, and they will become a turtle in a urn, let us destroy them."

"But I guess the commander of the Eighth Route Army wouldn't be so stupid?"

"It's even more impossible to encircle and aid the second time."

"We are not fools, and we will not make mistakes twice on the same question, otherwise I, the commander of the North China Front Army, will be in vain."

The deputy chief of staff became more and more confused, and continued to ask: "Then why didn't they retreat, but stepped up their offensive instead."

This question made Okamura Ningji silent for a while before answering.

"They should be trying to make a fortune before retreating."

Turning his head, he ordered to the combat staff at the side: "Immediately mark the attack direction of the Eighth Route Army in the north of the city on the city defense map."

Three commandos, three arrows.

Okamura Ningji held the baton in his hand, slowly extended forward along the arrow, and soon stopped on the arsenal in the north of the city.

Questions that I hadn't figured out before suddenly became clear, and I suddenly realized.

"Right here..."

"The ultimate goals of the three offensive forces all point here."

"The Eighth Route Army wants to conquer the arsenal in the north of the city before retreating, and capture what is there to make up for their battle losses."

"Immediately send someone to contact the garrison in the north of the city, and immediately blow up the arsenal in the north of the city."

"No, the contact speed is too slow. Send engineers directly to bomb it. The faster the better, we must destroy it before the Eighth Route Army seizes the arsenal."

…………

"Rumble..."

A group of orange-red flames suddenly spread rapidly from the center of the arsenal in the north of the city to the surroundings, and finally rose slowly and spread out in the air, forming a huge mushroom cloud, illuminating the entire north of the city.

Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the battlements angrily, cursing with pain all over his face.

"Ningji Okamura is really difficult to deal with this dog day."

"As soon as the commando took action, they guessed that I was going to attack the Chengbei Arsenal."

"I would rather destroy it myself than give it to us."

"It's a pity that there are so many weapons and ammunition."

"Ruthless enough, decisive enough, I, Li Yunlong, won't be wronged if I lose in his hands."

"Notify the commando to suspend the attack."

"The arsenal in the north of the city was bombed, and it's useless to continue the attack. It's better to get the spoils captured in the occupied area first."

"After an hour and a half, the troops withdrew from Baoding as planned."

"The queen of Wangdu's garrison regiment."

…………

At the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Army in Baoding, the deputy chief of staff finally showed a long-lost smile on his solemn face.

He rushed to Neiji Okamura and said happily, "Your Excellency, Commander."

"You are simply Zhuge alive."

"The real purpose of the Eighth Route Army's sudden intensification of the offensive in the north of the city is to make a fortune before leaving."

"We bombed the arsenal in the north of the city, and they turned from offense to defense, and gradually withdrew from Baoding."

"After repeated confirmation by the scouts, the Eighth Route Army that attacked Baoding did not have 1000 soldiers."

"The retreating troops were full of only 800 people, and they also brought a large number of wounded, heavy weapons, and trophies. The marching speed was very slow, and only more than 300 people were arranged for the rear."

"Although Baoding City was breached, the Baoding garrison only lost more than 1000 people."

"Including the temporarily recruited armed expatriates and retired soldiers, there are more than 1000 to [-] people in the city."

"Xiaozhi wants to take two reinforced squadrons out of the city to take revenge. If they beat them hard, maybe they can turn defeat into victory and injure them severely."

Neiji Okamura listened carefully.

As the direct commander of this sweep, he wants to save the defeat more than anyone else.

Don't want to miss a chance.

But after serious consideration, he decided to give up this opportunity.

Shaking his head: "Too risky."

"The current Baoding garrison cannot afford any losses."

"Unless you are [-]% sure, no one can lead troops out of Baoding."

The deputy chief of staff immediately showed a wry smile, no matter how powerful a commander is, he can't guarantee that he will win [-]% of the battle.

Neiji Okamura had a [-]% chance of winning.

Tell him clearly: No soldier in Baoding can go out of the city to pursue him.

I had to give up the idea of ​​sending troops, and watched the Eighth Route Army withdraw from the battle with the spoils
…………

In a village five kilometers northeast of Pingyang Town, Kong Jie was sitting on an ammunition box, gasping for breath.

The troops drove for several hours, but never encountered the second wave of reinforcements sent by Pingyang Town.

It was almost here that I received the news: "The second wave of Japanese reinforcements has returned to Pingyang Town."

They ran for dozens of miles in vain.

Before the butt was hot, the cavalry company commander who arrived here in advance suddenly ran over.

"Captain..."

"There is a situation where the Japanese and puppet troops are stationed, and they seem to be retreating."

"Hanging heavy guns to the back of the car and refueling tanks and armored vehicles."

"There are still soldiers packing supplies and ammunition..."

"The wounded were also loaded into cars and baggage trucks."

The exhausted expression on Kong Jie's face was instantly wiped away, and he looked at the map analysis that the guards spread on the ammunition box.

"There are only five or six thousand little devils and one or two thousand puppet troops left in Pingyang Town. After subtracting the artillery and supply troops inside, there are at most 4000 infantry left."

"If they don't retreat and run away, Neiji Okamura will lose all his money in launching this big sweep."

"But our base area is not where they come and leave whenever they want."

"Order: The [-]nd and [-]rd Battalions immediately start operations in companies."

"Destroy the only way for the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat to Baoding and slow down their marching speed."

"Conditions permitting, we can use guerrilla warfare and landmine warfare to attack them along the way and continue to consume their troops while ensuring our own casualties."

"The opportunity to beat a dog in the water is rare."

"If you kill one more kid here, you will lose one opponent in the future."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief couldn't sleep well for several days in a row.

Not only was the Yizhong sweep launched by the North China Front Army unprecedented, it was also directed by Neiji Okamura himself. Even though Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, two veterans in the Yizhong base, supported him, he still couldn't let go.

Whenever I have time, I will take the chief of staff to study the anti-sweeping in the wing, hoping to help them a little.

Tonight was no exception.

I stayed up with the chief of staff until after two o'clock in the morning before going to bed.

As a result, after sleeping for more than an hour, the exclamation of the staff officer on duty sounded at the door.

"Chief..."

"Good news... great news..."

"We won the anti-sweep in the wings..."

"Commander Kong's good news: The Japanese and puppet troops sweeping the Yizhong base are no longer able to continue fighting and are preparing to retreat..."

The deputy commander-in-chief opened the door and hurried to the headquarters. The chief of staff heard the news and said happily.

"Chief..."

"Such a big anti-mopping up, really let Kong Jie and Li Yunlong take it down."

"Now I am eager to know how they severely damaged the Japanese and puppet troops."

"Ningji Okamura mobilized more than 2 soldiers and swept to the Yizhong base."

"Kong Jie has less than 1 troops."

"Equipment superiority, troop superiority, firepower superiority, and even terrain superiority are all in the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops."

"That old devil Neiji Okamura even played in person."

"It's incredible that they still hit the Japanese and puppet troops hard and won the sweep in such a short period of time."

The deputy commander-in-chief replied with a smile: "Don't worry."

"We will ask Kong Jie to report the entire anti-sweeping process after the Japanese and puppet mopping-up troops completely withdraw from the base area and return to Baoding."

"To be honest, I know Kong Jie's way of defeating the enemy better than you do."

"It's not just Kong Jie and his army in North China who use tunnel warfare to fight devils."

"If tunnel warfare plays a great role in anti-mopping up, I will not only reward them, but also promote their tactics on a large scale."

Speaking of this, a bold idea suddenly popped up in the deputy commander's mind.

"You said if we have a chance to go to the Yizhong base."

"seeing is believing."

"The army has fought such a big victory, there must be a lot for us to learn from it. I can also meet Kong Jie and Xiao Huang, and discuss with them the raid on Tianjin Wharf."

I used to think that this idea was a fantasy. After seeing Kong Jie's development in the Yizhong base, I feel more and more that they are likely to make this happen.

"By the way, confirm Li Yunlong's whereabouts."

"This kid is good for war. It's too wasteful to stay in the base of the wing and serve as Kong Jie's second-in-command."
