The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1152 The leader is also jealous (second update)

Japanese Army Xiongxian Garrison Headquarters.

The telegram from the front headquarters made the atmosphere here instantly become depressing.

What "defend Xiong County to the death and fight until every soldier is killed..."

What "No troops can voluntarily evacuate Xiong County without an order from the headquarters..."

What "relying on the fortifications of Xiongxian City to cause maximum damage to the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops and consume as much of their troops as possible..."

Doesn't this all tell them that the front army headquarters is no longer able to reinforce them. But Xiong County cannot give up, they must fight to the end without any reinforcements...

The garrison strength in Xiongxian County was seriously insufficient, and the Eighth Route Army's offensive outside the city was very fierce. No matter how you analyze it, the defenders have little chance of winning.

This means that the front army headquarters has completely abandoned the Xiongxian garrison, and everyone has become an abandoned son of the headquarters.

More importantly, everyone has become abandoned, and the headquarters also wants to maximize the remaining role of the abandoned, so that everyone will try their best to kill more Eighth Route Army troops before they die, so as to prepare for the subsequent imperial army's encirclement and suppression of Yi Zhong. The Eighth Route Army created conditions...

It is too frustrated.

"Execute the order!" The brigade commander took the lead in breaking the solemn atmosphere at the headquarters and sighed.

"As soldiers, I believe that everyone has been prepared to die in battle for the Emperor from the moment they stepped into China. It's just that this day comes sooner or later."

There are many Bushido believers in the headquarters who do not care about their own lives at all and will give up everything for the so-called holy war.

As soon as the brigade commander's order came out, these people became fanatical and shouted with eagerness on their faces: "Please rest assured, General, we will fight to the end with the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops and not lose the face of the Imperial Army of Japan..."

"I want to apply for a humble position and go to the East Gate. The Eighth Route Army's offensive there is the most fierce. I must urge the city defense troops to fight until not a single soldier retreats. Please approve it from the general..."

Several little Japanese officers who believed in Bushido stepped forward to ask for a fight, as if they were going to the battlefield even if the brigade commander did not agree, forcing the brigade commander to nod in agreement.

Just as the brigade commander was about to agree, a soldier on the phone suddenly ran towards him in a panic: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Urgent report from the city defense troops in the east of the city..."

"The Eighth Route Army went crazy, launching attacks on them continuously, and firing artillery at the same time. They didn't worry at all that the shells they fired would accidentally injure their own people..."

"The city defense troops could only stare at the artillery fire to block the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops. They suffered heavy casualties and the troops were very tired and urgently needed reinforcements!"

The brigade leader did not answer, but asked with a stern face: "Can they still hold on!"

The phone soldier hesitated and replied: "Yes, it is possible, but the equipment and ammunition are consumed very quickly..."

"Many machine guns had their barrels broken due to continuous firing, or even exploded on the spot, making it impossible to continue using them. There were also many light and heavy machine guns that were destroyed due to heavy attacks by the Eighth Route Artillery..."

"Please ask the headquarters to send someone immediately to replenish them with equipment and ammunition..."

The brigade leader ordered with a stern face: "If you can hold on, then continue to fight..."

After speaking, he pointed at the two officers who had just asked for battle and ordered: "Immediately transfer a squadron from the headquarters reserve to replenish weapons and ammunition for the city defense forces in the east of the city..."

"If the troops go to the battlefield, don't come back. They go directly to the east of the city to join the battle."

"By the way, tell the captain of the garrison in the east of the city... This is the only mobile unit left by the headquarters. He can only rely on himself for the next battle." "Without orders from the headquarters, the city defense troops cannot retreat even if there is not a single soldier left. …”

"The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops could only step on their corpses and march into the county..."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

A piece of information from Peiping instantly attracted the attention of the deputy commander-in-chief.

"The Japanese North China Front has mobilized troops to reinforce Baoding and Xiongxian. Does that mean that Kong Jie and the others are about to achieve their goal of using Baoding and Xiongxian to consume the Pingjin garrison?" The deputy commander-in-chief looked excited at the information sent by the chief of staff. road.

To be honest, the deputy commander-in-chief is also full of expectations about whether the Yizhong Eighth Route Army can successfully raid the Tianjin Pier.

Although he did not go to Tianjin Pier in person like Li Yunlong and Huang Yu, a lot of intelligence from the Pingjin area showed that the Japanese North China Front had stored a lot of weapons, ammunition and supplies there, and the scale was no less than that of the Eighth Route Army in ten wings. The captured Taiyuan Arsenal.

After all, the logistics department of hundreds of thousands of troops of the North China Front is stored there.

According to the standard reserve of one hundred bullets for a soldier, there are 20 to 30 million bullets for the light rifle machine gun.

That doesn’t even count the amount of snow bombs stored there.

Once captured by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, not only the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will benefit, but the entire North China Front Army will also benefit.

More importantly, after the Japanese North China Front Army lost the weapons, ammunition and supplies they had stored at the Tianjin dock, the entire North China Front Army's hundreds of thousands of Japs and the Imperial Alliance Army would be in a dangerous situation of insufficient ammunition.

If the Eighth Route Army in various places can seize this opportunity to launch counterattacks against the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area, they will definitely be able to take advantage, further reduce the activities of the Japs in North China, and create conditions for a future strategic counterattack.

Therefore, the deputy commander-in-chief has been looking forward to the Yizhong Eighth Route Army taking over Tianjin Pier as soon as possible.

But after all, it was the location of the Japanese North China Front headquarters.

At no time did the garrison have less than 10,000 troops.

In addition to the tank troops stationed in Peiping and Tianjin, the heavy artillery troops, and a small naval force stationed at Tianjin Pier.

If the Yi Zhong Eighth Route Army was unprepared and rushed over rashly, they, the most powerful units of the Eighth Route Army, would suffer heavy losses on the battlefield, and they might even be wiped out by the little devils.

That's why Kong Jie and the others have been trying to find ways to consume the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Pingjin area and create conditions for future raids on the Tianjin dock.

Judging from the application in hand, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's goals were obviously achieved.

Looking at Peiping and Tianjin on the map, he analyzed it carefully: "Excluding the more than 10,000 troops who went south to reinforce Baoding and Xiong County, the remaining troops in Peiping and Tianjin can maintain public order and ensure the safety of the two places. There will be no redundant troops." Mobile unit.”

"If they can pre-emptively kill thousands of Japanese puppet troops directly outside Peiping and Tianjin, the remaining little Japs at the Tianjin dock will definitely not be able to stop the Eighth Route Army's front in Yizhong."

"Contact Kong Jie and Li Yunlong immediately, forward the intelligence we received immediately, and let them prepare for battle, and strive to eat up all the more than 10,000 puppet troops who went south to reinforce Baoding and Xiong County."

"Even if they can't eat it, we still have to find a way to severely injure them so that they can use the assault capability and be trapped somewhere so that they will not be a threat to their military operation to raid the Tianjin dock."
