The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1453 Li Yunlong: Temporarily Avoiding the Attack

"Division Commander... The Eighth Route Army operating in Fuxin is too cunning and erratic." Seeing Lieutenant General Takano's gloomy face and silent, the chief of staff immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Our troops are scattered on four blockade lines, and we only have one mobile force, so it's easy for them to defeat them one by one."

"I suggest that we abandon the blockade, make use of the advantages of our intelligence and reconnaissance forces, find the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and send in heavy troops to lay siege."

"Even if only a few dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers were killed in one operation, several operations combined would be enough to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army soldiers operating in Fuxin,"

Lieutenant General Takano looked sullen and did not respond.

He was considering the feasibility of the Chief of Staff's proposal.

Analyzing the current battle situation, the Takano Division is indeed a bit passive.

Wherever the Eighth Route Army was active, the mobile forces commanded by Major General Akiyama would attack there.

But the Eighth Route Army would not wait there foolishly for the mobile troops to encircle them.

It is very likely that when the mobile troops arrived at the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had already moved to other battlefields and continued to attack the troops scattered on the blockade line.

Although this unit of the Eighth Route Army was small in strength, it was equipped with mountain artillery for attacking strongholds, and ordinary artillery towers and strongholds could not stop their attack.

Even if half a battalion of infantry were gathered together, they would still be no match for them.

Just as the Chief of Staff analyzed just now, instead of continuing to garrison the blockade line which has lost its meaning, it is better to gather heavy troops and take the initiative to attack, turning the passive situation into the active one, and besiege the Eighth Route Army in Fuxin little by little until they are completely wiped out.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. Lieutenant General Takano immediately turned his attention to the commander of the Fuxin Garrison Regiment standing beside him.

"The task of locking down the Eighth Route Army in the territory is now given to you..."

"Fuxin is your defense zone. No one should know the terrain and troop deployment better than you."

"I don't care what method you use or how many intelligence officers and scouts you send."

"All Eighth Route Army troops operating in Fuxin must be targeted within two days."

"Find out the situation of their troops and equipment, and create conditions for the main force of the division to focus on besieging them."

Then he turned his attention to the chief of staff: "Immediately contact our troops scattered on various blockade lines..."

"Assemble immediately to the nearest medium-sized strongholds and important towns, and ensure that each unit has a reinforcement battalion."

"Once the garrison regiment locates the specific traces of the Eighth Route Army in the territory, the infantry battalion closest to the destination will immediately attack."

"Other troops cooperate in the operation..."

"One military operation to wipe out an Eighth Route Army, don't be greedy."

…………

Li Yunlong is in a big mountain in Cangshan.

Information from outside the mountain was continuously flowing into his hands.

Shi Jin, who was temporarily serving as Li Yunlong's deputy, suddenly ran towards him with a smile on his face: "Commander..."

"After a temporary training, I reorganized our troops into three reinforced companies, an artillery platoon, and a guard platoon, with a total of 496 people..."

"If we hadn't been short of people, we could have expanded our forces to 1,500 at any time with the equipment we've captured during this period."

"The soldiers have won victory after victory, and their morale is very high. They all clamor to continue to fight the Japanese on the battlefield..."

"Where do you think we should play tonight?"

Li Yunlong handed a piece of intelligence he had just received to Shi Jin, shook his head, and replied helplessly: "We can't fight anymore..."

"I just received a message..."

"The Kwantung Army scattered along the blockade is gathering quickly."

"All the artillery towers and strongholds that were previously garrisoned by only a small team or a squadron were abandoned, and the scattered forces were concentrated in important strongholds and towns." "The number of Japanese planes in the sky has also increased significantly..."

"They are all conducting low-altitude reconnaissance, searching for our traces."

"The reconnaissance team also found a large number of scouts and disguised intelligence personnel sent by the Japanese and puppet Manchurian troops on nearby mountain roads and paths, asking around to find out our specific whereabouts."

"If my guess is correct..."

"The Takano Division that reinforced Fuxin should be planning to use a different tactic to deal with us."

"Immediately gather all the scattered scouts back, and the troops will move deeper into the mountains."

"The Japanese army suffered a loss due to the division of forces, and they plan to change their original comprehensive suppression policy to the current focused offensive policy."

"Those Kwantung Army scouts and Manchukuo Army intelligence personnel operating in Fuxin were the eyes of the Kwantung Army's main force."

"Once we have locked onto our exact location."

"The main force of the Kono Division will swarm towards us like hungry wolves, gathering heavy troops to besiege us."

"Although we have won many battles in the previous battles and taken a lot of advantage from the Takano Division, the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us has not changed."

"Those victories were won because the Kwantung Army dispersed its forces, and we concentrated our superior forces and firepower on local battlefields."

"Once the Kwantung Army changes its all-out siege to a focused encirclement and suppression, and gathers superior forces and firepower to surround one of our units, we will have almost no chance of winning."

"The best way to solve this problem is to temporarily avoid the limelight."

"Huang Yu just won a victory against the raid, so he is not in danger for the time being."

"We have killed several thousand elite soldiers of the Takano Division. They will definitely not be able to leave Fuxin in the short term."

"Then let's go into the mountains and hide for a while."

"If you have the chance, go back to his base."

"After being out for so long, the troops remaining in the base should have been trained by the political commissar."

"If the base can provide me with two to three thousand soldiers, we might be able to fight the Takano Division in Fuxin."

"After all, the Takano Division still hasn't figured out our true strength and equipment."

"The troops can definitely seize this opportunity to catch the Takano Division off guard and try to wipe out another of their main regiments."

…………

On the Jinzhou battlefield.

Huang Yu didn't expect that the Fujita Division would retreat so decisively.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a series of violent explosions suddenly sounded at the three regiment bases. The Japanese soldiers who were so arrogant yesterday suddenly turned into eggplants hit by frost.

They left the base with weapons, ammunition and two days' worth of dry food and retreated out of the mountain.

  Because there were no baggage mules and horses to encumber them, the troops could march faster.

Very fast.

Perhaps because they were worried about an ambush by the Eighth Route Army on the road, they did not return along the same route, but instead drove a new route for a day.

A group of soldiers who were monitoring them were almost lost.

Huang Yu originally wanted to pull out the tiger's teeth and tear off a piece of flesh from the Kwantung Army before they evacuated the mountains.

After hearing about the Japanese army's retreat method, I immediately gave up this idea.

If we act rashly when the retreating Kwantung Army's troops are on guard, we will end up losing both the lady and the troops.
