The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1250 Chief: Let them retreat within two days (second update)

"Hiss..."

The deputy commander took a breath and exclaimed: "The little devil really thinks highly of us."

"The main divisions of the Kwantung Army are basically all Class A divisions, and the total strength of each division exceeds 25,000 people. The three Class A divisions add up to 75,000 people."

"Including the heavy artillery regiment, tank regiment, and aviation regiment that cooperate with the operation... the total strength is at least 80,000..."

"With these 80,000 elite Kwantung Army troops going south to reinforce Pingjin, the problem of insufficient strength of the North China Front was solved at once."

"And there can be tens of thousands more mobile troops to attack our base area."

At this point, the deputy commander couldn't help but punch the table.

Compared with the previous punch due to excitement, this punch was more angry and unwilling. After quickly reading the information handed over by the chief of staff, he sighed: "We paid a huge price and just killed a hungry wolf. Murura Ningji then found a tiger to deal with us. "

"Is the next battle going to be difficult?"

"The advantages we finally gained on various battlefields will be lost because the Kwantung Army moves south. It's so damn annoying."

The chief of staff frowned and answered: "Chief..."

"We will discuss the future battles later. The top priority now is for Li Yunlong and others to evacuate Pingjin as soon as possible to avoid being blocked by the Kwantung Army moving south. They will not be able to escape even if they want to."

The deputy commander turned his attention to the map again and analyzed while looking at it: "The fastest way for the Kwantung Army to go south is to take a train. From assembly to departure, it can take at most two days to enter the Shanhaiguan customs and join the war."

"So Li Yunlong and the others must evacuate Pingjin within two days..."

"It's a bit difficult..."

"According to Li Yunlong's report: They used all the means of transportation at hand to transport supplies, weapons and ammunition around the clock, and it would take three days to transport them all."

"If they are allowed to evacuate Pingjin within two days, they will inevitably give up one-third of their loot..."

"Forward this information to Li Yunlong and Huang Yu immediately and listen to their thoughts..."

"They are in Pingjin and know the real situation there better than we do. Maybe they can think of some ways to break the situation that we can't think of..."

…………

Tianjin pier.

As the two little Japanese ships sank to the bottom of the sea, one ship was severely damaged and then fled in despair.

The quiet pier became brightly lit again.

In addition to the remaining supplies that have not yet been transferred to the transfer warehouse, Huang Yu's eighty or ninety artillery pieces at the dock also began to retreat...

At three o'clock in the morning, the artillery unit was the first to complete the transfer task...

At four o'clock in the morning, the last batch of grain from the dock warehouse was transported away by car...

The engineer battalion commander directly under the divisional headquarters rushed to Li Yunlong and Huang Yu at the same time: "Report to the commander, deputy chief of staff..."

"We have already spread explosives all over the Tianjin dock..."

"As long as the dock warehouse is detonated, the gunpowder we have deployed in other locations on the dock will also be detonated at the same time, which will definitely level the Tianjin dock."

Li Yunlong's face immediately showed a trace of reluctance, and he said heartbrokenly: "Such a good pier will be blown up at any time... Xiao Huang... How about we think about it again..." "Maybe after we defeat the little devil in the future, this pier will be destroyed." It will fall into our hands.”

"If it explodes now, it will indeed affect the North China Front Army's replenishment of weapons, ammunition and supplies, but by then what we will receive will be ruins. It is a pity."

Huang Yu answered confidently: "Don't worry, deputy commander..."

"Even if we raze the Tianjin Pier to the ground, Okamura Neiji will do everything possible to rebuild the terminal."

"This place is so important."

"Without Tianjin Wharf as a transfer station, weapons, ammunition and supplies from Japan would not be delivered to the North China Front Army as soon as possible, and the Japanese and puppet troops operating in various parts of North China would be out of ammunition and food. Dilemma.”

"So we don't have to worry about taking over a Tianjin dock that was bombed into ruins by ourselves after defeating the Japanese and puppet troops in the future."

Li Yunlong was not the kind of person who had no knowledge. He immediately ordered to the engineer battalion commander: "Be sure to check twice more to ensure that after the dock warehouse is bombed, the entire dock is also blown up."

"The more thoroughly the dock is blown up, the longer the North China Front will be short of guns and ammunition, and the easier our Eighth Route Army will have against the enemy."

Seeing the engineer battalion commander rushing in a hurry, Huang Yu directly suggested: "Deputy commander, let's go too..."

"Although we have moved the materials, weapons and ammunition in the warehouse, they are still within Pingjin after all."

"It is safe only if they are actually transferred to our Eighth Route Army base area."

"So our transfer mission is less than half completed."

Li Yunlong nodded, and just as he was about to lift his legs, the hurried figure of the operator suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and immediately stopped Huang Yu who was about to leave: "If something happens...wait a moment..."

When the operator saw Li Yunlong, he handed over the message he had just received: "Chief...an urgent message from the former enemy headquarters..."

Li Yunlong quickly read the entire telegram with the help of a flashlight, and then said to Huang Yu who was standing aside: "Let's go back to the dock headquarters first. There is an emergency..."

As he walked, he introduced to Huang Yu: "The headquarters received the news from the inside."

"In order to regain Tianjin Pier, Peiping Airport, and battlefield air superiority, Okamura Neiji once again asked the Kwantung Army to borrow troops."

"Please report that the Kwantung Army has decided to dispatch three main divisions, a heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, and an aviation regiment, totaling 80,000 troops to go south."

"The chief believes that these 80,000 Kwantung troops will take the railway and take the train south. They will be able to reach Pingjin and join the war in two days at the latest. Let us evacuate Pingjin within two days."

"Of course, it would be better if there was a way to stop the Kwantung Army from moving south to support the troops."

"There is really no other way. The chief asked us to give up some of the spoils but also to keep the troops and withdraw them all back to the base. We must not be blocked by the Kwantung Army going south on the Pingjin battlefield."

"Fuck..."

"The total number of wing troops operating in the Heipin and Tianjin areas is only five to six thousand. Okamura Neji actually seconded 80,000 elite Kwantung Army troops to besiege us. This is to kill a chicken with a knife and annihilate us all in one battle..."

Huang Yu frowned and did not answer, then quickly found a map of Pingjin and followed the railway line northward little by little, looking for possible breakthroughs.

The troops seized so much loot at the Tianjin dock that no one would be willing to give up one-third of the supplies, weapons and ammunition at once.

As long as there was a ten thousandth chance, Huang Yu wanted to stop the Kwantung Army from taking the reinforcements, instead of giving up the weapons, ammunition and supplies that the troops had worked so hard to capture.
