The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 796 Neiji Okamura: The price is too high (second update)
At the front enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, Huang Yu jumped off his horse and ran to the war room panting heavily.

More than three hours ago, he received an urgent call from Kong Jie asking him to return to the headquarters immediately.

Since I met Kong Jie, I have never received such an urgent message.

Huang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously felt that something had happened to the base.

Not daring to delay the slightest, hand over the team to Chief of Staff Wang Lin and hurry up here.

"Captain, what's the matter, so anxious?" Huang Yu's anxious voice came into the war room before anyone entered the door.

"You're here, drink up..." Kong Jieshun said, handing the cup full of tea on the table to the dusty Huang Yu, and introduced him.

"An accident happened to Captain Huang of the Mancheng Defense Regiment..."

"The headquarters received a telegram four hours ago that Huang Qi was hit by a heavy artillery shell during a street fight with the devils and fell into a coma on the spot."

"I am awake now, but I was seriously injured by the shell and had to stay in bed."

"The three regiments in the direction of the whole city suddenly lost their commander-in-chief, and the dragons have no leader."

"I'm worried that there will be trouble there, and I plan to go there to command the troops myself."

"There can't be no one watching here, so I thought of you."

"The whole anti-sweep was proposed by you kid. No one knows the battle plan better than you. Li Yunlong and I can rest assured that you sit in the headquarters and coordinate all the troops participating in the war."

"From now on, this place will be handed over to you, kid."

"All the Eighth Route Army below me in the Yizhong Base are under your command."

"After that old devil Yingmu came to Chenjiazhuang, you will also be in charge of the decisive battle against the devil's mopping up troops in the middle. I will be in charge of the devil's right mopping up troops, and Li Yunlong will capture the devil's left mopping up troops."

As he spoke, he took out a good news that Li Yunlong sent not long ago: "This is a good news from Li Yunlong from Wangdu County."

"They fought a small tunnel battle with the devils in Jiuguan Town."

"The two infantry brigades of the Japanese army were completely wiped out, and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed."

"Let the Hashimoto Brigade of the Kwantung Army experience the power of tunnel warfare for the first time."

"At present, they have abandoned the tunnel fortification in Jiuguan Town, and plan to use the next tunnel fortification to continue to block the Kwantung Army."

"Before Huang Qi was injured, he also fought two battles with the devil's right mopping up troops, and wiped out a large group of little devils."

"I won't introduce the anti-sweeping troops in the middle that you command, you know it better than me."

"This is the latest battle situation in the Yizhong base..."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, he hurriedly left the headquarters with the guard company, very anxious.

…………

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army's Baoding Garrison, Ningji Okamura suddenly slapped the telegram on the table, clenched his hands into fists, and said with a heartbroken face: "The price is too great..."

"In order to let the Kwantung Army understand the powerful power of tunnel warfare and make them pay attention to tunnel warfare, three reinforced brigades and one chariot brigade paid tuition. I really don't know what these arrogant soldiers think."

"Listen to us early. From the very beginning, we have paid attention to the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare. I want the headquarters to call for air support and join the planes to destroy the tunnels. Their losses can be reduced by at least half."

"A bunch of bastards who have done more than fail."

The command center needs Okamura Neiji to decide too many things. In order to avoid accidents and make wrong decisions, Okamura Neiji must recover calm as soon as possible.

The deputy chief of staff stepped forward to comfort him at the right time: "General..."

"The tuition fees paid by the mopping up troops are a bit expensive."

"But as long as they really pay attention to tunnel warfare on time, and don't make the mistake of underestimating the enemy in the next big raid, the tuition will be worth paying."

"After all, the sweeping force has more than 3 people, and this loss only accounts for one-tenth of their total force."

"Combined with air support, the remaining mopping forces will definitely be able to match everything, completely destroy the tunnel in the middle of the wing, and wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing."

As soon as the words fell, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded at the door of the war room.

The communications staff officer hurried in and went straight to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The head of the Sakuragi division of the central mopping force sent an urgent call..."

"Request the headquarters to immediately dispatch aviation troops to support them, the more the number, the better."

"They want to use aerial bombs to destroy the Eighth Route Army's tunnel fortifications blocking the way."

The deputy chief of staff answered immediately: "Your Excellency, this is change."

"If they didn't suffer a big loss in front of the tunnel, Lieutenant General Sakuragi would never take the initiative to ask the headquarters for air support."

"The humble staff immediately contacted the aviation force and dispatched six planes to continuously reinforce the central sweeping force."

Neiji Okamura's face looked much better, and he nodded and ordered: "Six planes are too few, so we directly dispatch nine planes to reinforce the Sakuragi Division."

"Let the air force prepare [-] more planes, and be ready to reinforce the left and right mopping up troops at any time."

"All the ground troops in this big raid came from the Kwantung Army. We can't give them all the meat. Our North China Front Army should also take this opportunity to drink some soup."

"If you don't have infantry on the battlefield, replace it with aviation."

"In case the Kwantung Army says we are stingy and let them do all the hard work, we can't even give up air support."

As soon as the communications staff officer walked away with the order, another communications staff officer rushed in and also went straight to Gangcun Ning Ningji: "Your Excellency, Commander, Major General Hashimoto of the mopping up force on the left has an urgent call."

"The Eighth Route Army that blocked them used tunnels and blocking positions to severely damage their infantry brigade again."

"Nani..." Neiji Okamura was very annoyed when he heard it, and quickly snatched the telegram handed over by the communications staff.

Looking at ten lines at a glance, I couldn't help cursing just after reading half of it: "These gangs of arrogant soldiers are really arrogant."

"It's too arrogant to lose so many troops and haven't learned a lesson."

"The headquarters has reminded them that the tunnels cannot be destroyed by artillery alone, and the tunnel battle cannot be won, but they just don't listen."

"This is not a disadvantage..."

"It is unreasonable for two squadrons to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield just because they underestimated the enemy."

The deputy chief of staff also looked annoyed.

Just now he was speaking for the mopping up troops, comforting the commander.

They felt that they would definitely learn a lesson after losing three brigades. As a result, Major General Hashimoto knew his mistakes and did not correct them.

Immediately proposed to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The headquarters should immediately send a telegram of reprimand to the Left Sweeping Department, telling them to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare and never underestimate the enemy."

"We must strictly implement the countermeasures formulated by the headquarters for the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare. Use heavy artillery, aircraft, and blasting to completely destroy the tunnels. You can't be opportunistic. You think you've won by destroying the tunnel entrances and burying the enemy underground."

"Tunnel entrances and exits are everywhere, and it is impossible to destroy all the entrances and exits by bombing alone."

"As long as there is one tunnel entrance and exit intact, the mopping up troops don't want to bury them underground and suffocate them to death."

Neiji Okamura took it seriously: "In addition to reprimanding the telegram, we also need to send the battle report of the left mopping department losing half of the brigade to the other two mopping troops, so as to kill chickens and monkeys."

"Otherwise, these arrogant soldiers will never pay attention to tunnel warfare."
