The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1336 Commander, I’m going to Jinzhou (second update)

Huang Yu immediately showed a helpless expression on his face and answered with a wry smile.

"Commander, this battle was indeed fought beautifully. It established the prestige of our northbound detachment, more than doubled our planned combat target, and gave us greater strategic depth for future counter-mopping operations."

Seeing that Li Yunlong was getting happier and happier as he listened, and almost burst into laughter, Huang Yu suddenly changed the topic and continued: "But the price we paid in the battle was also very high."

After saying that, he handed the list he had just calculated to Li Yunlong, pointed at the series of numbers on it and continued to introduce it.

"After statistics, a total of more than 2,300 people from the 2nd and 3rd regiments plus the troops directly under the detachment headquarters participated in the battle."

"The troops have been fighting for two consecutive days. As of now, there are less than 1,300 soldiers who can continue to fight..."

"Six hundred and fifty-eight of them died, and more than 300 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness."

"Although most of the injured can recover and return to the team, it will take time..."

"I'm worried that the Kwantung Army is afraid that we will gain a foothold in Chaoyang and won't give us this time..."

The smile on Li Yunlong's face instantly froze, and his brows immediately wrinkled.

Before, all he had been thinking about was how many Kwantung troops he had killed, how many weapons and ammunition he had seized, and how to eliminate more Japs on the battlefield. He hadn't had time to think about the battle losses yet.

After listening to Huang Yu's introduction, I realized that more than half of the participating troops had been killed or injured.

The troops of the two regiments were directly beaten into one regiment by themselves.

Fortunately, Wei Dayong and Duan Peng contained all the mobile units of the Kwantung Army in Liaoning on the Jinzhou battlefield, so that the Kwantung Army was temporarily unable to mobilize troops to besiege Chaoyang and deal with themselves.

Otherwise, with the few troops he has on hand, he may not even be able to withstand the retaliatory attack of a main force of the Kwantung Army.

Then it is really possible that he will spit out all the results of the victory he just swallowed.

Not only did no benefits come from it, but the northward detachment also suffered a loss of troops and generals, and lost the foundation of its foothold in the Northeast.

The more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened. Suddenly he slapped the statistical list in his hand onto the table and gave a serious order: "Expand the troops..."

"The northbound detachment must expand its troops immediately..."

"Try to expand to 5,000 people at one time. If that's not enough, it would be even better to expand to 8,000 or 9,000 people at once..."

"Directly reorganize the three main regiments under the detachment into a reinforced regiment of more than 3,000 people, and then form some troops directly under the detachment..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of another victory he had achieved in Chaoyang City, and immediately introduced it to Huang Yu.

"Xiao Huang..."

"In addition to killing the Japanese and seizing a large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies... we also captured more than a thousand puppet Manchurian soldiers in Chaoyang City!"

"Now that Chaoyang City has been captured by us, other puppet Manchurian troops and Japanese expatriates operating in Chaoyang will definitely flee after receiving the news."

"I have asked Lao Huang and the others to lead the attack. Before the news that Chaoyang City has been captured by us has come, we will capture more prisoners in Chaoyang, eliminate more Kwantung Army and Japanese overseas Chinese, and seize more weapons and ammunition by the way."

"If conditions permit, we can still attack the surrounding counties. As long as we do not attack the heavily defended counties and strongholds of the Kwantung Army, do not actively provoke them, and withdraw after reaping the benefits, with the combat effectiveness we showed on the Chaoyang battlefield, the surrounding Kwantung Army will The garrison will definitely not dare to attack us."

"I estimate that it will be no problem to capture another two thousand prisoners of the puppet Manchuria Army."

"We captured more than 2,000 prisoners before attacking Chaoyang, and more than 1,000 prisoners in Chaoyang City. If we can capture more than 2,000 prisoners, the total number of prisoners in our hands will exceed 6,000... mobilize four of them It will definitely be no problem for a thousand people to join our northward detachment!”

"If we recruit more than a thousand new soldiers in the newly established base area, the total strength of the northbound detachment will soon exceed 6,000!" Huang Yu was noncommittal: "Commander..."

"Now we need weapons, weapons, and people... It will be no problem to expand the total strength of the northward detachment to 6,000 people... but there is only one thing missing."

Li Yunlong obviously also thought that Huang Yu had something to say.

The brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again, and he said seriously: "You are talking about time, right?"

"Wei Dayong, Duan Peng and the others contained all the mobile units of the surrounding Kwantung Army on the Jinzhou battlefield."

"The longer they persist and the longer the main force is trained, the more confident they will be in facing the first round of sweeps by the Kwantung Army."

"But their troops are limited, and they are fighting deep into enemy-occupied areas without any reinforcements. If they kill one of their limited troops, they will lose one."

"There are many Kwantung troops besieging them, and the disparity in strength between the two sides is very large. They will definitely not be able to hold on for too long."

"Maybe he will die on the Jinzhou battlefield!"

Li Yunlong said the last few words through gritted teeth. It was obvious that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.

Huang Yu answered with a calm face: "Commander..."

"That's what I'm worried about..."

"If anything happens to Duanpeng and Wei Dayong, the Kwantung Army that surrounded them on the Jinzhou battlefield will definitely turn around and march westward, charging into Chaoyang and nipping us in the bud."

"Now the main force has no big battles to fight. The next thing to do is to digest the results of the battle, expand the base area as much as possible, expand the troops, retrain the troops, and increase the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"It's enough for you to stay at the base alone. I want to go to Jinzhou to try to hold on for a few more days and bring back more troops..."

Li Yunlong did not answer, but fell into deep thought with a sullen face.

The troops operating there are about to face dozens of times of encirclement and suppression by the Kwantung Army. The longer they persist, the greater the pressure. It can be said that they have a narrow escape from death, and the chance of an accident is very high.

Huang Yu now asked for orders to go to the Jinzhou battlefield, obviously going there with the determination to die.

As his deputy, Li Yunlong was reluctant to part with him from the bottom of his heart.

Although Huang Yu has very strong commanding ability, he also thinks quickly on the battlefield, and likes to take things by surprise, often fighting dangerous battles in which he can win more with less.

But the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves on the battlefield in Jinzhou is too great. Even if Li Yunlong goes there by himself, the chance of winning is less than 20%.

In this situation. Li Yunlong definitely didn't want Huang Yu to die.

After thinking for a long time, he was ready to refuse Huang Yu's invitation to fight and keep him by his side.

As a result, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Huang Yu's next words: "Commander..."

"I am not only the chief of staff of the northbound detachment, but also the commander of the first regiment of the northbound detachment."

"Right now, a regiment of soldiers is fighting on the Jinzhou battlefield against the Kwantung Army, which has dozens of times its strength. The entire army may be destroyed at any time."

"As the leader of the regiment, I have no reason not to stay with my troops. If the regiment really has an accident on the Jinzhou battlefield, and I am not in the army... then what is the difference between me and a deserter? How should I establish myself in the northbound detachment in the future... …”
