The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 692 I want to build a chariot unit (second update)
"I think it's okay..." The chief of staff immediately expressed his support.

"There are many issues that need to be considered in the raid on Tianjin. The combat area is wide and the duration is long. It also requires the cooperation of other troops."

"It is rare for the troops to encounter such a large-scale joint operation."

"If the plan is successful."

"It can not only expand the influence of the Eighth Route Army, but also use the weapons, ammunition and materials seized from Tianjin Wharf to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"It can also accumulate experience in joint operations of troops."

"Three birds with one stone."

"For such an important matter, it is definitely impossible to tell by radio contact alone, and it is easy to leak the secret."

"The only way is to go to the Yizhong base in person."

"Have a face-to-face discussion with Kong Jie and the others, and consider all the problems and difficulties faced in the operation in advance, and solve them slowly in the next few days. Only when the troops are fully prepared can the operation be successful."

The deputy commander-in-chief was even more moved after hearing this.

Quickly made a decision: "That's it."

"Chief of Staff, you make the arrangements, try to go to the Yizhong base within ten days."

"Don't make a big fanfare, just bring the radio on, and contact the various combat troops in case of emergency."

…………

On the ground battlefield in Pingyang Town, Huang Yu got out of the tunnel and saw Kong Jie walking towards him.

Hurry up and greet them: "Reporting to the head of the group..."

"The Junpei garrison successfully completed the defense mission, please instruct."

Having said that, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Fortunately, the little devil took the initiative to withdraw his troops today, otherwise the remaining tunnels in Pingyang Town will be completely destroyed if they persist for another day."

"If you lose the tunnel to hide, the soldiers will not be opponents of devils if they have three heads and six arms."

"Pingyang Town will also be lost."

Kong Jie patted Huang Yu on the shoulder, and happily answered, "It's only you who can guard for so long."

"If I were to guard Pingyang Town, I would have lost it yesterday."

"But this battle has also shown us many defensive loopholes in existing tunnels."

"If there is a big raid next time, the devils will continue to use the same tactics to attack us."

"No matter how authentic the base area is, they won't be able to blow it up."

"Your boy is better at fighting in tunnels than us, and understands tunnels better."

"Have time to study it carefully, and try to break the enemy's tactics of destroying tunnels."

"Build our tunnel completely into an underground fortress that little devils can never break through. My legs tremble when I see the tunnel fortifications."

Huang Yu took it for granted: "Leader, don't worry..."

"Defending Pingyang Town these days, I have been thinking of ways to break the situation. Some methods have been used, and the effect is good."

"I will promote those methods when the order in the base area is restored."

"Guaranteed to make the little devil feel bad when he raids us next time."

Kong Jie nodded, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

The anti-sweeping campaign in the base area was won, which deserves everyone's joy, but the price paid was also very high.

The Shunping garrison that drilled out of the tunnel is the most intuitive manifestation.

Before the anti-mopping up began, the Shunping garrison regiment was full of more than 600 people.

In addition to the guard company of the Second Regiment and the Fourth Battalion, which I temporarily strengthened for them, the total strength exceeds 400.

At this moment, there are less than 400 troops standing in front of him.

It means that the Shunping Garrison Regiment, the Fourth Battalion of the Duer Regiment and the guard company suffered nearly 3000 casualties.

The heavy casualties made him unhappy even if he wanted to be happy.

Huang Yu knew what Kong Jie was thinking when he looked at Kong Jie's expression, and he comforted him seriously: "Leader..."

"The real casualties of the Shunping garrison are not as big as what you see."

"Before I was trapped in Pingyang Town, I scattered all the wounded in the team to the rear tunnels to recuperate."

"There are still more than 100 wounded in the tunnel under our feet."

"There are at least 400 people in total..."

"They are all elite veterans who have been baptized by war, and they are the backbone follower and platoon leader when they return to the team."

"There they are."

"The Shunping garrison will definitely be able to restore full strength in a short period of time and form combat effectiveness."

"We also captured more than 700 puppet troops in the battle..."

"Most of them were captured during the raid on Shunping County."

"It should be no problem to recruit three or four hundred recruits from it."

"Replenish them to the troops, and the Shunping garrison can recover its combat effectiveness by half a month."

Kong Jie's face looked much better, he nodded to Huang Yu and said, "It's good that you know it in your heart."

"This sweep was personally directed by Neiji Okamura..."

"The result was a disastrous defeat, which is equivalent to us slapping him hard in front of everyone."

"He definitely can't swallow this breath in his heart."

"If it weren't for the lack of Japanese troops in the North China Front, they would have dispatched troops from other places to reinforce Baoding and continue to sweep us."

"But as long as the North China Front regains its strength, or Neiji Okamura receives foreign aid, we must be the first to be eliminated."

"Even if we win this sweep, we can't let our guard down."

"All troops must restore their strength as soon as possible and remain vigilant at all times to meet the next wave of sweeps by the Japanese and puppet troops."

Huang Yu thinks so.

Neiji Okamura, as the longest-serving commander of the North China Front Army, must have his strengths.

In front of such a veteran, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all.

Only by continuously improving one's own strength can one have the capital to fight against him and defend the base in Yizhong.

Immediately answered: "I want to expand the Shunping garrison to 3000 people for this training."

"It has three main battalions, one supplementary recruit battalion, one artillery company, one guard company, one reconnaissance platoon, and one engineering platoon..."

"The supplementary battalion is full of 500 people, trained according to the standard of the main battalion, not equipped with heavy weapons, and used as the reserve team of the whole regiment during war."

"You can go directly to the battlefield to kill devils."

"You can also join the main battalion in the form of supplementary troops to participate in the battle."

Kong Jie nodded immediately: "The Duer Regiment and the other two garrison regiments will also set up their own supplementary battalions."

"We have only been fighting this anti-sweep for a few days, and many troops lost their combat effectiveness due to too many casualties and had to withdraw from the battle."

"This is the shortcoming of the army not having supplementary soldiers."

"After the establishment of the supplementary battalion, the regiments can quickly supplement the battle losses of the combat troops between battles, ensuring the full strength and combat effectiveness of the main force."

"When there is a war, we have a steady stream of troops going to war."

"Like the just-concluded anti-sweeping campaign, we will have troops to fight for another three or four days."

After finishing speaking, she stared at Huang Yu like Baobao, and wanted to dig into her again to see what inspiration this anti-mopping up had brought her.

The two are like soulmates.

Before Kong Jie had time to speak, Huang Yu said: "Commander, I used to set up a chariot platoon under the Special Forces in Northwest Shanxi."

"The number of tanks equipped by the Japanese army in Yizhong is much more than that in Northwest Shanxi."

"The terrain here is also more suitable for tank combat."

"I want to get the tank platoon back together."

"If conditions permit, a chariot company can be established."

An extra troop in hand is still the kind of trump card that can play a leading role on the battlefield. Kong Jie of course agrees with both hands.

After chasing Huang Yu, he asked, "Equipment is needed to set up a chariot unit. Where do you get the equipment from?"

Huang Yu had thought about it a long time ago, and blurted out: "In the battle of Taipingzhuang, we destroyed more than ten tanks and armored vehicles."

"Deputy Commander Li destroyed more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles in Wangdu County."

"The city's garrison group also destroyed many chariots."

"It adds up to more than thirty vehicles."

"Get them all together, tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall. I don't believe it will not be possible to repair a few chariots."

"The Japanese puppet army that just retreated still has more than 30 chariots. I will lead the special forces to catch up after a while."

"Think of a way to pull out your teeth and kill a few more."

Huang Yu even thought about the source of equipment for the chariot troops, and Kong Jie had no reason to object.

Immediately nodded: "As long as you have the ability to get the equipment, I have no objection to the establishment of a chariot battalion."

"I have asked the second and third battalions to slow down the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops on the road, harass them, and continue to consume their strength."

"You can catch up after walking for two or three hours now."

…………

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Ningji Okamura waited for a pair of big eyes to scan back and forth on his subordinates.

No matter whether it was the head of the brigade of the major general or the captain of the corps, no one rushed to meet his gaze, and they all lowered their heads and said nothing.

This scene made him both angry and aggrieved.

I can't believe that this is the elite of the North China Front Army brought out by myself.

I can't even believe that there are Kwantung Army from the Northeast among these people.

How arrogant they were before the sweep, how embarrassing they are now.

"Clang..."

He grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground. He seemed to be still angry, and continued to grab the documents on the table and threw it to the ground, before he sat down on the chair.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth: "Talk about how you fought. A big sweep turned out to be like this. The North China Front Army lost all face..."

"More than 2 mopping up troops."

"Not only did they fail to defeat the [-] Route Army, but they also lost soldiers and generals in the Yizhong base. They beat them into a group of bereaved dogs and returned to Baoding in embarrassment."

"I, Neiji Okamura, have been a commander for so long, and I have never fought such a miserable defeat."

Major General Fujita came from the Kwantung Army and was not directly affiliated with Neiji Okamura, so he was not as afraid of Neiji Okamura as others were.

The first to stand up: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Humble job has something to say..."

"When the mopping-up troops entered the Yizhong base, they encountered the tunnel fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army."

"Our army has no experience in fighting tunnels, so we fought hastily and suffered a lot in front of them."

"By the time we figure out how to crack the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare, the mopping-up troops will have lost all their troops and will be unable to continue their attack."

"If we destroy the tunnel fortifications in the Yizhong base bit by bit through blasting from the beginning, and force the enemy to fight us on the ground, the Eighth Route Army will not be our opponent if there are twice as many Yizhong base areas."

Major General Kawasaki then stood up: "The humble staff made a mistake in experience during the battle."

"When attacking Wangdu County, subconsciously believed that there was an ambush in the city, and dared not send reinforcements, resulting in the elimination of two infantry brigades one after another."

"As a result, the mopping forces on the left were severely damaged, and they were unable to recover in the next operation."

Seeing his subordinates come forward to plead guilty one by one, and they all said the point, and no one shirked responsibility, Okamura Ningji finally looked good.
