The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 780 Don't Be Too Greedy (Second)
"Commander, it exploded. The two thousand catties of explosives we prepared for Gangcun Ningci were all detonated..." Duan Peng rushed into the headquarters of the Shunping garrison regiment with excitement and reported.

"There were explosions in four directions in Baoding."

"The flames are soaring into the sky, and the four locations are exactly where the four garrisons in Baoding City are located."

"Our plan became..."

Huang Yu laughed after listening to it, and was very happy to analyze it.

"Ningji Okamura dispatched four reinforcement brigades to Baoding, and 2000% of the five or six thousand little devils were stationed in these four stations. After subtracting the more than 3000 people who received the city defense fortifications, at least [-] people remained in the station."

"The two thousand catties of explosives are all buried in the barracks, and it's time for the devils to sleep, so the big gift we prepared for Okamura can kill at least three thousand little devils."

"In addition to the more than 1000 people killed last night, the devil's second wave of reinforcements was defeated by another 4000 people."

"Okay."

"You can't be too greedy, you have to learn to accept what you see."

"Let the troops retreat immediately and return to the base."

"Baoding City was attacked just now, and two or three thousand little devils were lost. The Kwantung Army of the little devils must be panic-stricken, and no one cares about us."

…………

Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Okamura Ningci returned here three hours later.

After repeated inspections by engineers and guards, the headquarters was indeed in no danger as Okamura Neiji said.

As soon as I entered the war room, I saw the Kwantung Army Division waiting for me with a solemn face.

"Your Excellency, Commander..." The head of the division looked like a child who had made a mistake, with his head down, embarrassed.

"The loss of the city defense force has been counted."

"The Eighth Route Army is very cunning, and all the explosives are buried in the barracks area."

"Our troops were very tired, and we went back to the barracks to rest as soon as it got dark."

"After the explosion, almost all the barracks were razed to the ground, more than [-]% of the soldiers were killed on the spot, and more than [-]% of the soldiers were buried in the rubble."

"After rescue excavation, less than 200 people survived by chance."

"A total of 2951 people were killed and 116 seriously injured..."

"The Eighth Route Army that detonated the explosives all fled without leaving any trace of retreat."

"Although the troops have started a full-scale search, we don't even know who the opponents are or what they look like. The possibility of finding them should be very low."

"Combined with the battle losses last night, the division led by the humble officer has only 9000 people left to continue fighting, and the direct loss exceeds 4000 to [-] people."

"Also lost three heavy guns, 11 field guns, and a great deal of other equipment."

"I have fought for so many years, and I have never been so aggrieved as I am now."

"Losing a multi-unit team, I didn't even see what the opponent looked like."

"There is a saying in China: A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. There is also a saying: Stand up from where you fall..."

"His Excellency, I beg your Excellency, Commander, to agree that you must entrust me with the most important task when sweeping the Yizhong base in the future."

"Use the blood of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong to wash away the shame, restore the defeat, and take revenge on the subordinates who died in battle."

After hearing the result, Neiji Okamura was also silent.

Since he went south from Beiping, he has been cautious enough, but in the end, he has hit the Eighth Route Army Road in Yizhong time and time again, and lost thousands of Kwantung Army in vain.

The troops suffered two major defeats in a row, not only slapping the Kwantung Army in the face, but also slapping themselves in the face.

There was silence for a while without answering.

Until the deputy chief of staff came over: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The Chief of Staff urgently..."

"The third wave of the Kwantung Army going south has already started, with a total strength of more than 5000 troops."

"It is expected to arrive in Beiping tomorrow morning. After replenishing the equipment and ammunition, it is expected to arrive in Baoding in the early morning of tomorrow night. Please make preparations for the response."

One good news and one bad news made the angry Okamura Neiji calm down immediately.

"boom……"

He slammed his fist on the table, and watched as the head of the division commanded viciously: "I can give you the main attack task, but can you defeat the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong and take their base area?"

"You have also fought against them several times, and you should know the Eighth Route Army of Yizhong better than before."

"Knowing how difficult they are to deal with, I don't know if you have confidence."

At this juncture, the head of the division had no choice but to face the difficulties, so he answered bravely, "Please rest assured, Commander."

"I have already roughly figured out the combat strategy of the Yizhong-aged Eighth Route Army."

"They are really difficult to fight, and they especially like to surprise us and use tricks to deal with us."

"But both the military superiority and the firepower superiority are in our hands."

"As long as the troops fight steadily and don't give the Yizhong Eighth Route Army any chance, try to force them out for a decisive battle, and confront us head-on, no matter how cunning the Yizhong Eighth Route Army is, it will not be an opponent."

Seeing that the head of the division said so confidently, and his thinking was similar to his own, Okamura Ningji made a decision after a little analysis: "Then I will entrust you with the task of raiding Chenjiazhuang."

"Chenjiazhuang is the only way for the Yizhong Eighth Route Army to enter the mountains to avoid war."

"Taking Chenjiazhuang will block the Eighth Route Army's access to the mountain."

"Either they are flanked by us and wiped out outside the mountain."

"Either attack Chenjiazhuang by force and take back the passage into the mountain."

"No matter what choice the Yizhong Eighth Route Army makes, they must take the initiative to stand up and confront us head-on."

The head of the division quickly found the location of Chenjiazhuang on the map, and after looking at it for 2 minutes, he took the order: "Please rest assured, Commander."

"After the start of the sweep, I am confident that I will take Chenjiazhuang within two days and block the retreat route of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."

Neiji Okamura continued to order: "In order to increase the odds of winning, your equipment and firepower must be strengthened."

"Immediately transfer an infantry regiment from the troops outside the city, and set off tomorrow afternoon to meet the third wave of reinforcements along the road we came from."

"They are safely in place, and our sweep can officially begin."

…………

After Li Yunlong arranged for the 26th regiment to be stationed, he hurried to the regiment headquarters of the Duer regiment. From now until the end of the sweep, the regiment headquarters of the Duer regiment will be the joint headquarters of all the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong base area.

As Li Yunlong's deputy, he must stay here and be on standby before the sweep begins.

"Kong Er Idiot... Is there any news about Xiao Huang? I heard that Ningji Okamura killed him in Baoding this morning." Li Yunlong was the same as usual, before he entered the door, his voice had already reached the ears of everyone in the room.

Kong Jie replied with a smile: "You are really a dog."

"As soon as Xiao Huang's good news arrived, you rushed over in a hurry."

"The big gift he prepared for Neiji Okamura is big enough."

"Help us reimburse 10 Kwantung Army in less than [-] minutes."

"In addition to the results of the sneak attack on the little devils along the way the night before yesterday, the more than 2 Kwantung Army brought to Baoding by Okamura Ningji lost more than 4000 people before they formally fought with us."

"If I were that old devil in Okamura, I would definitely be so angry that I couldn't eat."

"They are on their way back to their base."

"Based on the analysis of the current casualties of the Japanese army, Okamura Ningji will mobilize at most 5000 people to sweep us in the next big sweep."

"It's similar to Xiao Huang's previous analysis."

"It just so happens that you're back, let's review the strength of both sides tonight, and work out an anti-mopping plan as soon as possible."
