The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1346: Crushing with Strength (Second Update)

Jinzhou Fujita Division Headquarters.

Lieutenant General Yoshino, commander of the Kwantung Army's Jinzhou garrison, was introducing the intelligence he had just received to Fujita.

The expression is both angry and helpless.

"Fujita-kun..."

"The Eighth Route Army is more cunning than we imagined... I sent out all the intelligence officers and scouts I had. Day and night passed, but I still haven't figured out the specific strength and equipment of the Eighth Route Army outside the city..."

"It's not right to say that they don't have enough troops and just strengthened a large number of mortars..."

"In the past day and night, in addition to the strongholds that the Eighth Route Army voluntarily gave up attacking, there was still one medium-sized stronghold, three small strongholds, and four settlement points controlled by armed expatriates that were captured by them..."

"It is wrong to say that they have a large number of troops and strong attack capabilities..."

"Several strongholds under attack have already suffered more than half of their casualties from their artillery fire... As long as a reinforced company is dispatched and a fierce attack is launched under the cover of artillery fire, they will surely be taken down. However, the Eighth Route Army that attacked them chose to retreat at the last moment. …”

"I can't understand..."

Teng Tiaozhong replied with a stern face: "The reality and the reality prevent us from knowing their true strength and equipment... This way we don't dare to act rashly and send troops to encircle and suppress them rashly, unless we have absolute superiority in troops and firepower." …”

"From this alone, we can see that...the enemy we are facing is not only cunning, but also very difficult to deal with..."

Lieutenant General Yoshino frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

"Is it possible to just watch them continue to do whatever they want outside Jinzhou City, attack our strongholds, consume our troops, and destroy the Kwantung Army's dominance in Jinzhou!"

"Of course not!" Lieutenant General Teng Teng replied firmly.

"I just said..."

"In the face of absolute superiority in troops and firepower, no matter how our opponents confuse us with falsehoods or reality, or whatever tactics they use, they will all become vulnerable..."

After saying that, he asked the combat staff aside: "Where are the return troops..."

"As soon as they return to Jinzhou... they will immediately unite with our temporarily formed mixed unit to form a large net to surround the Eighth Route Army operating outside Jinzhou City, first compress their living space, and then defeat them one by one!"

…………

In an unnamed ravine in the southwest of Jinzhou, Duan Peng was staring at the map and considering his troops' next target.

The strength of the Kwantung Army's various strongholds outside Jinzhou City are all marked on the map, and the strongholds that have been attacked by them have been drawn in circles.

In order to avoid accidents and get into the pocket formations prepared by the Kwantung Army in advance, the best way is not to fight in the same place twice, so that the Kwantung Army cannot find the Eighth Route Army's operational patterns and cannot make arrangements in advance.

The instructor suddenly came over, with a smile on his face and an excited report: "Batalion Commander, although the ten commandos we sent have not been concentrated, they have all been contacted."

"None of the commandos had an accident."

"Five of the commandos used mortars to raid the Kwantung Army strongholds from a long distance. They did not confront the Japanese and puppet troops head-on, and the casualties were limited to five people."

"The other five commandos captured several small strongholds and settlements stationed by the Kwantung Army. The losses were a little larger, but they were completely within the scope of our plan."

"Not only that, but four commandos also recruited more than 20 new soldiers after taking over the settlement point." "Although they can't fight, they can help the troops transport weapons and ammunition, carry the wounded, and greatly reduce the pressure on the combat troops."

"Several commando captains all asked the headquarters for instructions whether to continue raiding Kwantung Army strongholds and settlement points after dark..."

Duan Peng did not answer directly, but asked with a serious face: "What is the current situation of the Kwantung Army stationed in various strongholds?"

"The vigilance is very high..." the instructor blurted out.

"Some strongholds that are relatively close to Jinzhou City used the daytime to borrow a lot of mortars from the Jinzhou garrison..."

"Obviously the intention is to use artillery fire to counter our sudden artillery attack, reduce the losses of the garrison at the stronghold, and reinforce our surprise pressure."

Duan Peng frowned and replied, "Then our previous battle plan cannot be used anymore."

"Although the risk of using mortars to raid the Kwantung Army's strongholds from a long distance is very low, if the Kwantung Army in the stronghold is equipped with a large number of mortars and covers our artillery positions and surrounding areas with artillery fire, it will still cause a lot of damage to our sneak attack troops. casualties."

"Our troops are limited. We can't afford to lose one by one."

"We must change our tactics. On the premise of reducing troop casualties, we can not only severely damage the Kwantung Army stationed in Jinzhou, but also confuse them and force them to mobilize troops from the front line to return to Jinzhou."

The instructor felt that what Duan Peng said was simply a fantasy.

How can there be such a good thing in the world? All the advantages are taken by yourself, and the only ones who suffer are the little devils.

Just as he was about to express his thoughts, the operator suddenly ran over.

"The battalion commander...the regiment commander has an urgent call..."

"The little devils who are encircling and suppressing the Chief of Staff are moving in the mountains."

"Two reinforced Kwantung Army units returned to Jinzhou overnight to aid..."

"The regiment leader asked us to immediately divide into two parts. We should not only attack the strongholds garrisoned by the Kwantung Army and their settlement points, but also arrange for troops to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to attack the Kwantung Army's returning troops, consume their strength, and target them to death... "

"The leader also said..."

"He used the rescued miners to form the fourth and fifth battalions of the regiment. The total strength is nearly 600 people. They are well-equipped and can form combat effectiveness in two days at most."

"If the commando force outside the mountain is insufficient, you can send him a telegram for help at any time..."

"We will be reinforced by at least one battalion by then."

Duan Peng's frown suddenly relaxed, and he sighed happily: "The regiment leader is worthy of being the regiment leader. In the past few days, two battalions of troops have been mobilized..."

After saying that, he turned his attention to the instructor and ordered: "I have an idea..."

"The few commandos that only used mortars to attack the Kwantung Army's strongholds last night continue to attack the Kwantung Army's Jinzhou garrison, but they cannot be greedy. From today on, they can only attack small strongholds and settlements controlled by Japanese armed expatriates. Unless there is absolute Be sure, otherwise you must not attack the Kwantung Army’s medium-sized strongholds and large-sized strongholds.”

"The remaining commandos will immediately turn around and use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to deal with the Kwantung Army's returning troops. I will keep an eye on them."

"While controlling their own casualties, no matter how many artillery shells and bullets they use, each commando team must kill at least fifty Kwantung Army troops for me every day. If we add up, we will try to kill two groups of Kwantung Army troops within five days. military……"
