The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 202 Lost Again (Part [-])
At [-]:[-] in the morning, the guard battalion arrived at the Huangzhuang stronghold.

More than one hundred Japanese and puppet troops staying here are waiting in full battle.

In the afternoon, they began to build defensive positions around them, extending to both sides with the gun tower and the bunker as the center, and cut off the guard camp directly into Jinzhong's road...

This is the outer line of defense that Major General Miyazawa arranged around Xingling.

The return troops killed the main force of the independent regiment, and the outer defense line killed the fish that slipped through the net of the independent regiment, and cooperated with each other to wipe out the independent regiment in one fell swoop.

Second Lieutenant Sato is the supreme commander of the troops left behind at the stronghold.

In his cognition, the fish that slipped through the net of the Independent Regiment should be stragglers organized by squads and platoons.

Holding a reinforced squad and two platoons of the Royal Association Army, and relying on fortifications to defend, we can definitely pick up leaks and kill them easily.

As a result, as soon as the Eighth Route Army appeared, it was vast and mighty, with no end in sight, and a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns were still carried in the team.

No matter how stupid Second Lieutenant Sato was, he knew that the Eighth Route Army in front of him was not the fish that slipped through the net as inferred by his superiors, but the main force of the independent regiment.

In desperation, immediately call the above...

"Moxi Moxi... This is the stronghold of Huangzhuang. We are being attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army... The opponent's strength is unknown, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons, requesting reinforcements...Boom boom boom..."

Before Second Lieutenant Sato finished his desperate report, a violent explosion sounded outside the gun tower...

At the headquarters of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Yangquan, Major General Miyazawa continued to pace back and forth in the war room waiting for news.

The expression on his face was much more complicated than before.

In addition to anxiety, there is also a touch of tension and anxiety!

yes, anxiety...

Fearing that there would be an accident in Xingling with the returning reinforcements,

At three o'clock in the morning, there was a rush of telephone ringing in the quiet war room.

Before the combat staff officer could react, Major General Miyazawa rushed to the phone and grabbed the receiver first.

"This is the brigade headquarters...have you checked out the latest battle situation in the Xingling area?"

"Report to the general... There is no news from Xingling yet, but something happened to the Huangzhuang stronghold that besieged Xingling!" The subordinate's report came from the receiver immediately.

"Huangzhuang stronghold?" Major General Gong Ze asked back.

Harada Nakazuo immediately ran to the sand table, found Huang Zhuang, and marked it out.

"Hayi..." The subordinate at the other end of the microphone continued to report.

"The troops left behind at the Huangzhuang stronghold reported that they were attacked by the main force of the independent regiment...the opponent's force was endless at a glance, and there were five or six hundred people in sight...equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns..."

"After the Huangzhuang stronghold was attacked, we only persisted for five minutes before losing contact!"

"Bizhi believes that the main force of the independent regiment has successfully broken through the Xingling area, and the momentum is like breaking through. The outer defense line that arranged us around Xingling also broke through together!"

"They marched very fast... they can walk at least [-] kilometers before dawn!"

"Nani... How could the independent regiment besieged in Xingling have a chance to break through... What do the reinforcements do? Where is Matsushima-kun? I handed over three infantry brigades to him, but they couldn't surround one of the beaten ones." What do I want him to do to strengthen the regiment!"

Harada Nakazuo, who was staring at the sand table, suddenly analyzed: "General, Xingling is two hours away from Huangzhuang, which means that the battle at Xingling ended two hours ago!"

"The breakout troops of the Independent Regiment quietly appeared outside the Huangzhuang stronghold, and no troops chased them down...meaning that something happened to our reinforcement troops encircling Xingling."

"Otherwise, even if the independent regiment successfully breaks through and leaves Xingling..."

"The return troops will also follow and chase, and notify the Huangzhuang stronghold in advance, so that they are ready to intercept, instead of rushing to fight!"

Major General Miyazawa's face became more and more ugly. He stared at the sand table for a while and then began to give orders: "The breakout troops of the Independent Regiment have already crossed the outer defense line we set up around Xingling, and they can march at least [-] kilometers before dawn, but it is also possible Stop early to rest and hide anywhere within [-] kilometers."

"Immediately contact all strongholds along the line, dispatch all scouts and intelligence personnel, and find out the hiding places of the independent regiment's breakout troops at all costs, and guide the aviation to bomb them!"

"Since the infantry can't deal with them, let the aviation soldiers bomb them, if you don't believe it, you can't kill them!"

"The investigators and intelligence personnel going to Xingling will continue to move forward!"

"Regardless of whether the reinforcement troops commanded by Colonel Matsushima were really defeated, we must figure out how they were defeated, so as to prevent other troops from repeating the same mistakes!"

Tanjiagou is a valley less than five kilometers away from the Xingling battlefield.

The former enemy headquarters of the independent regiment, the assault company, the artillery company...all are hidden here.

At four o'clock in the morning, all the troops of the Independence Regiment in Xingling were concealed, and the specific losses and results of each battalion were sent to Li Wensheng one after another...

"Head, this is the specific results and losses of our battle in Xingling... The previous results were only our estimates, and the summary above is the most authentic!" Li Wensheng said happily.

"In less than two hours of fighting, we wiped out a total of 2938 people below the leader of the Devils... 452 people were sacrificed, 49 were seriously injured, and there were no statistics for minor injuries!"

"The reason why there is such a disparity in casualties is that artillery plays a vital role!"

"They consumed a total of 2438 mortar shells during the battle..."

"The mortar shells we carried with the army were almost completely consumed...the battalions also used 386 grenades, more than [-] rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, more than [-] rounds of rifle machine gun ammunition, and more than [-] rounds Submachine gun bullets, nearly [-] rounds of pistol ammunition, more than [-] grenades and grenades..."

"It can be said that tonight's victory was largely achieved by our use of firepower!"

Kong Jie waved his hand and said indifferently: "Whether he was built with firepower or not, as long as he wins!"

"Tell me about the seizure!"

"The mortar shells we carry with the army have been exhausted. If there is no replenishment, the more than [-] mortars equipped in the team will become decorations!"

"Not only can't fight the devils, but it will also become a burden to the soldiers!"

Li Wensheng happily replied: "Leader, don't worry..."

"Kill nearly [-] little devils in one battle, it is impossible not to capture them!"

"In addition to the various ammunition we destroyed, we also found more than [-] mortar shells and more than [-] infantry artillery shells in the Japanese army's transport team, which can fully make up for the battle losses!"

"Nine mortars, 13 heavy machine guns, two infantry guns, more than [-] light machine guns, and more than [-] rifles were also seized..."

"Several battalion commanders want to supplement the troops with light and heavy machine guns and artillery...to further strengthen the firepower of the troops, and increase some offensive capabilities by the way!"

Kong Jie didn't nod immediately, and hesitated for a while before answering: "The number of mortars in each battalion's machine gun company has increased to five, and the number of mortars has also increased to five..."

"Continue to add, there will be more than seven mortars, and more than eight heavy machine guns..."

"Adding so many weapons at once will definitely affect the mobility of the troops!"

"Our next task is to pass through Jinzhong. The speed of the march must not be affected in any way. We must not lose the big because of a few mortars and a few heavy machine guns!"

Li Wensheng was silent for a while and replied: "The marching speed of the machine gun company will definitely be affected..."

"Several battalion commanders have already thought of some solutions..."

"They plan to add a platoon to the machine gun company and add a new platoon of fighters..."

"There are too many people, and the burden of the soldiers of the machine gun company will naturally drop!"

Huang Yu suddenly said: "Head, I have an idea..."

"Since the number of mortars and heavy machine guns equipped by the machine gun company far exceeds their capacity, why don't we dismantle the machine gun company!"

"The machine gun company is reorganized into a mortar company, and it is under the direct control of each battalion!"

"All the heavy machine guns are distributed to the company, and they are combined with the grenadier squad directly under the original company to form a firepower platoon, equipped with two to three heavy machine guns!"

"Each infantry company of the Independent Regiment has more than a hundred soldiers. Even if they take turns marching with guns, three heavy machine guns will not affect the marching speed of the troops..."

"And I think the heavy machine gun can only be equipped with a company to give full play to its firepower advantage!"

Huang Yu's proposal is definitely more feasible than setting up a bloated machine gun company.

Equipping a company with a heavy machine gun can also strengthen the firepower of each company, allowing each company to have independent combat capabilities, killing three birds with one stone.

Immediately nodded: "Huang Yu's proposal is better..."

"I will inform all the battalion commanders in a short while, the machine gun company will be reorganized into the mortar company, and the heavy machine guns will be transferred to the main force company, and the company will be established directly under the firepower faction!"

"As long as it doesn't affect the marching speed of the troops, the light and heavy weapons we seized tonight can be equipped with the troops..."

At the headquarters of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army in Yangquan, Major General Miyazawa finally received the bad news from Xingling.

More than [-] returning reinforcements, except for two or three hundred people who survived by chance, the rest were all wiped out...

Looking at the information in his hand, Major General Miyazawa was silent for a while, unable to believe it was true.

He didn't believe he was defeated until the surviving soldiers told the story of the battle.

Then the whole person turned into an angry lion, staring at Harada Nakasa and began to give orders: "The independent group is bullying too much!"

"Since the raid, the imperial army has lost more than six infantry brigades... Four of the infantry brigades were almost wiped out..."

"If I don't avenge this revenge, I, the brigade leader, will lose face and stay here!"

"Send me an order: the number of scouts and intelligence personnel searching for the hideouts of the Independent Regiment will increase, and the aviation unit will be on standby at any time. If you find the main force of the Independent Regiment, go bomb it. I will blow them all to pieces!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the devils found the hiding place of a company in the guard battalion.

When the devil's plane arrived at its destination, the guard company had already scattered to break through, leaving them in vain...

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Devil's intelligence personnel found the hiding place of the Second Company of the Guard Battalion.

But the devil intelligence personnel exposed themselves. After being wiped out by the second company of guards, the soldiers of the second company pretended to be devil intelligence personnel and guided the plane to drop more than [-] heavy bombs on a wasteland...
