The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1146 A cruel decision (second update)

No matter how suspicious the brigade commander and chief of staff may be, and no matter how many doubts they have in their hearts, the facts are the facts.

Otherwise, no matter how bold the troops stationed in the north of the city are, they would not dare to lie about the military situation.

The chief of staff quickly suppressed the questions and doubts in his mind and considered ways to break the situation. While thinking about it, he analyzed it to the brigade commander: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"If there are really a large number of Eighth Route Army ambushes hidden outside the city, then the Eighth Route Army that appears in the north of the city is a bait."

"They want to lure the snake out of the hole and further consume the already small garrison in Xiongxian County outside the city, thereby weakening the strength of the garrison in Xiongxian County."

"In order to eat the bait of the Eighth Route Army's activities in the north of the city, we dispatched a whole brigade and a half."

"Once they have an accident, the Xiongxian garrison will be sharply reduced to less than 5,000 people. Without the four city defense troops, our headquarters will have no reserve team."

"To avoid this crisis, we must immediately find a way to rescue the one and a half brigade that was just sent to the county."

"I suggest that the city defense troops in the north of the city immediately deploy half a brigade to attack the Eighth Route Cavalry, tear a hole in their interception position, and cover the attacking troops' retreat to the county seat."

"The two reinforced squadrons attacking the Eighth Route Army from the north of the city immediately turned around and cooperated with the city defense troops in the north to attack the Eighth Route Army cavalry units from the front and back, defeating them in the shortest possible time."

"Only by driving away this cavalry unit can the attacking troops withdraw to the county seat."

The brigade leader's face was heavy and he showed an expression of hesitation. He couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

It was not that he was afraid of being beaten by the Eighth Route Army outside the city and did not have the courage to give orders, but that he was worried that he would lose two more squadrons for no reason.

The Eighth Route Army has more than two main regiments lurking outside the city, including an established cavalry battalion.

No one knew if there were other ambushes on the battlefield.

If the city defense troops in the north of the city had just sent people to kill Xiong County, and the Eighth Route Army had one or two main battalions to attack the north gate and block the city gate, then the two squadrons that the city defense troops in the north of the city had just sent out would also be finished.

Perhaps to prove the brigade commander's concerns.

Another telephone soldier hurried towards the brigade commander. Before he could stand still, he hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"The garrison in the north of the city reported that the Eighth Route Army, which was frantically breaking through and retreating, suddenly stopped."

"Turn offense into defense, stay away from establishing a circular defense line, and fight with our offensive troops."

"and……"

The chief of staff became more and more anxious as he listened, and quickly asked: "And what..."

"Hurry up and say it, I'm so anxious..."

The telephone soldier had no other choice but to bite the bullet and report: "And this Eighth Route Army is much stronger than we thought, and its equipment is also very sophisticated."

"The mortars and heavy machine guns we originally thought they were equipped with were destroyed in our initial artillery counterattack."

"In the end, I don't know where they got more than ten mortars and more than a dozen heavy machine guns. They were inextricably linked to our attacking troops. We will definitely not be able to tell the winner in a short time."

Hearing this, the fool also knew that the Xiongxian garrison had been fooled.

The Eighth Route Army outside the city are all local troops and guerrillas pretending to be...

Why is the Eighth Route Army outside the city very poor in combat effectiveness? The artillery attack by the garrison in Xiong County collapsed in one hit, and it has no combat effectiveness at all...

It's all fake.

The Eighth Route Army staged a deliberate performance to confuse them and induce them to send troops outside the city.

The chief of staff became anxious and immediately shouted: "Bageya Road..."

"The Eighth Route Army wants to wipe out all our attacking troops."

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"The attacking troops must not fight with the Eighth Route Army. They must break away from the force and fight immediately, otherwise they will die."

"Even if we can't break through the Eighth Route Cavalry Battalion's defense line, the attacking troops can break out in separate groups and retreat to the county seat through the other three gates of Xiong County, or directly climb over the wall and come in." "Once the attacking troops are strangled with the Eighth Route Army, they will not be able to break away immediately. Fighting, when the main force of the Eighth Route Army forms an encirclement on the outside of the battlefield, it will be too late for them to retreat."

This time the brigade commander did not hesitate. Before the chief of staff finished speaking, he ordered the combat staff officer on the side: "Just do as the chief of staff said."

"Contact the attack force immediately."

"Whether it's sending a telegram or signal, or sending people to contact them directly, let them break away from the battle immediately, break out and retreat in small groups."

"Before the Eighth Route Army forms an encirclement around the battlefield, find a breakthrough and retreat immediately, and retreat to the county seat through the east gate and north gate."

"If there are Eighth Route Army intercepting troops there, immediately take a detour to the north gate and withdraw to the county seat."

"If that doesn't work, just retreat to the city wall and let the city defense troops use ropes to pull them up to the top of the city. Do everything possible to reduce the damage. Quick..."

The combat staff rushed out of the headquarters to give orders.

But time is life on the battlefield.

Huang Yu set up such a big game and finally forced out a group and a half of the Japs. No matter what he said, it was impossible for them to return to Xiong County.

The Japanese brigade commander's order to divide the troops and break out of the encirclement has not yet reached Xiong County. The main force of the only brigade from all directions has already formed an encirclement around the battlefield.

The soldiers carried various weapons and quickly moved forward in battle formation to narrow the encirclement.

By the time the Japanese attacking troops realized something was wrong, the encircling troops had already appeared behind them...

…………

"Jingle Bell……"

The rapid ringing of the phone once again reached the ears of every kid in the Japanese military headquarters.

More than ten minutes ago, the leader of the Japanese Brigade particularly liked these ringtones.

Because every phone ring means a message of good news from the frontline headquarters.

At this moment, the ringing of the phone represents bad news from the front line.

Although no one likes to hear it, the phone will continue to ring as it should.

The telephone soldier grabbed the phone and listened for more than ten seconds before covering the phone and reporting anxiously: "Your Excellency, Commander."

"Report from the garrison in the north of the city..."

"The encircling troops of the Eighth Route Army have reached the battlefield and are launching an attack from behind our attacking troops. More than 4,000 people from both sides have been strangled together, and the attacking troops cannot withdraw."

"Baga..." The brigade leader was so angry that he punched the table in front of him, his eyes were red, and he was obviously very angry.

But what happened was that he couldn't change anything.

After being calm for a minute, he suddenly raised his head, and then his whole body became murderous. He clenched his fist and smashed it on the table again before starting to give orders.

"The artillery units will immediately aim at the battlefield outside the city. I will use artillery fire to cover all the Eighth Route Army and Imperial Army units participating in the war."

"Faster..."

"Don't wait until the battle outside the city is over before the artillery fires."

The chief of staff was shocked by the brigade commander's decision, but did not object.

Anyway, the attacking troops can't come back.

Instead of being neatly wiped out by the Eighth Route Army outside the city, it is better to use the last bit of value before death, serve as a bait for the artillery, drag the Eighth Route Army's participating troops, and let the artillery kill them all.

Although this plan is a bit ruthless, it can severely damage the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army and give the attacking troops a well-deserved death.
