The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1254: Driving away wolves and devouring tigers?

Dingxing County, a county where the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong was connected with the Japanese-occupied areas.

It was originally stood by the Japanese and puppet troops.

When Li Yunlong led his troops north to raid the Tianjin Pier, the Special Forces Regiment captured it in a single surprise attack, and were then taken over by a garrison regiment sent by Kong Jie, who then became the target of the Yi Zhong Base Area.

Li Yunlong and Huang Yu returned here on the fifth day after capturing Tianjin Pier.

From the moment they entered Dingxing County, it meant that the military operation of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army going north to raid the Tianjin Pier was successfully concluded.

No matter Li Yunlong or Huang Yu, they all breathed a sigh of relief the moment they entered the city, and then felt a deep sense of exhaustion quickly sweeping through their bodies. They found a place and began to fall asleep.

Their nerves were tense during the few days they stayed at the Tianjin dock. Even if they had time to rest, they would just lie on the ground in a daze for an hour or two, and then get up and continue to direct the troops to transfer the loot...

Huang Yu slept for a whole day and night before getting up.

When I walked into the Dingxing County temporary headquarters, I saw Kong Jie leading a group of staff around the table to count the spoils.

"Commander...you are here..."

Kong Jie answered with a smile: "This battle you fought was astonishing. Even the Japanese fleet was severely damaged by you. Two warships were sunk, one was seriously injured, and you brought back so many trophies. I Can the commander not come?"

"I guess you don't even know how many weapons, ammunition and supplies the troops seized at the Tianjin pier and how many weapons, ammunition and supplies they brought back..."

"This is the result I just asked the combat staff to calculate. It will definitely scare you..."

"After research and decision by the former enemy headquarters..."

"We separated 36 heavy artillery pieces from the spoils of war and left them at the wing center base. Together with the heavy artillery we already had, we formed a heavy artillery brigade."

"More than half of the tanks you brought back from the Tianjin dock were left behind to form a special brigade..."

"There are also a lot of other weapons and ammunition left, enough for us to expand the two main brigades in the base area into reinforced brigades."

"The most surprising thing is the ammunition..."

"After deducting those allocated to various base areas, we still have more than 12,000 heavy artillery shells and nearly 30,000 mountain field artillery shells and mortar shells. The total of all kinds of bullets exceeds 7 million rounds. On average, each soldier There are five to six hundred rounds in hand, not counting the grenades, gunpowder, and other supplies you brought back..."

"I was not idle during your attack on Tianjin Pier.

"A total of more than 15,000 new soldiers were recruited in the base area."

"Coupled with the lightly and seriously injured people who have recovered and returned to the army, the guerrillas and local troops can be upgraded to the main force..."

"Our sixth division in the wing will be able to immediately recruit a main force of 30,000 elites."

After listening to Kong Jie's introduction, Huang Yu didn't appear too excited.

After all, these weapons, ammunition and supplies were all seized by him from the Tianjin dock. Even if he didn't know the specific number, the approximate scale was still clear.

He was mentally prepared.

And Huang Yu's mind is not on this matter right now.

With the old regiment leader Kong Jie staying at the base, as long as he is given sufficient weapons and ammunition, he can pull up a main force of 100,000 elites, let alone 30,000 elites. He asked Kong Jie directly: "Commander..."

"Is there any new information coming back from the Pingjin area?"

"After we evacuated Pingjin, the Kwantung Army's reinforcements from the south entered the customs and entered Pingjin."

"I heard that the total strength of these little devils exceeds 80,000. They are not only the elite of the Kwantung Army, but also strengthened with a heavy artillery regiment and a tank regiment."

"Including the artillery regiments directly under the three main divisions, there are more than 150 large-caliber heavy artillery."

"With such a strong new force entering Pingjin, Okamura Neiji will definitely not let them stay in Pingjin to make ends meet and only regain Peiping Airport and Tianjin Pier."

The smile on Kong Jie's face was immediately replaced by a serious expression. He led Huang Yu directly to the front of the combat map, pointed at the three counties of Bazhou, Yongqing, and Gu'an and said: "According to the latest intelligence I received."

"The Kwantung Army's support troops moved south and split into two after entering Pingjin, helping the North China Front to regain the Tianjin Pier and enter Peiping."

"Then the Kwantung Army sent an aviation wing to the Peiping Airport to regain air control in the Ping-Tianjin area."

"Our air force is too weak, has too few pilots, and is not yet capable of competing with the Japanese Air Force."

"After it was confirmed that the Kwantung Army's aviation wing was stationed at Peiping Airport, our air force disappeared from the battlefield and continued to lurk in various base areas for training."

"After the Japanese army regained air supremacy on the battlefield, the reinforcements going south were immediately divided into three, and the divisions were used as units to occupy the three counties of Bazhou, Yongqing, and Gu'an."

"The Kwantung Army's strengthened heavy artillery regiment and tank regiment were also divided into three and stationed in three counties respectively, assuming a posture of wanting to attack our base area."

Tang Lin was silent for a moment and then continued: "The main culprit behind the raids on Tianjin Pier and Peking Airport was our Eighth Route Army, which also caused Neji Okamura to lose face. Even the Japanese Navy lost two ships in our hands. ”

"The words "life and death enmity" are not an exaggeration to describe the relationship between us and Okamura Neji."

"Given the little devil's vengeful character, if he finally gets an elite team that can fight for hundreds of years, he will definitely take action against us, the culprit, as soon as possible."

"However, this elite Kwantung Army has just entered the customs and needs time to familiarize itself with the environment."

"In addition, they marched into the pass on foot, so they definitely did not carry many weapons and ammunition with them, especially heavy artillery shells."

"After the Tianjin Pier was raided by us, the ammunition reserves of the North China Front Army were almost exhausted. It was difficult for the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements to obtain ammunition replenishment from the North China Front Army. In the case of insufficient ammunition, they could only assume an offensive posture. And dare not launch an attack.”

"We must wait for the Kwantung Army to bring them enough ammunition supplies before they dare to attack us in Yizhong."

"Xiao Huang is right..." Li Yunlong didn't know when he appeared behind the two of them and suddenly interrupted.

"Considering that we will have a battle with the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements sooner or later, before the troops retreat, we specially asked Duan Peng to take the assault company deep into Shanhaiguan and closely monitor every move of the Kwantung Army's southward reinforcements."

"According to Duan Peng's report, the Kwantung Army's reinforcements going south are very well-equipped and have strong combat capabilities. The only flaw is that the troops do not carry a lot of ammunition."

"After all, they are eager to go south to support Pingjin. Carrying too much baggage and ammunition will seriously affect the marching speed of the troops."

Kong Jie's face quickly became serious.
