The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Li Yunlong looks carefree, but as soon as he talks about business, it's like a different person.

The smile on his face was replaced by seriousness in an instant, and Ding Wei's expression also became very serious, and he put down his quick words and said, "I don't think everyone is in the mood to continue eating..."

"Idiot Kong Er, let someone take away the things... Let's study it carefully..."

"Call Xiao Huang here too..."

"To be honest, the three of us have never fought such a large-scale battle...There must be a lot of ideas that don't apply!"

"Little Huang is young, and his mind is quick... He can always come up with some tactics that we can't think of!"

When Huang Yu arrived at the door, the food on the table had been replaced by a huge map of Northwest Shanxi. Kong Jie saw him at a glance, and immediately waved to him: "Don't be dazed, come quickly!"

"I've already told Lao Ding and Lao Kong about your concerns. They want to hear your specific thoughts..."

"You are the only combat staff officer of the Joint Command, and you are the only one who advises us. If you have anything to say, don't worry about it!"

Huang Yu strode to the map: "Captain Kong, Commander Ding..."

"In the past two days, I have studied Yoshio Iwamatsu. From the analysis of his previous combat style: he especially likes to fight tough battles, fight big battles, and likes to defeat us on the frontal battlefield!"

"At this moment, he must urgently need a big victory to prove his ability and secure his position as the commander of the First Army!"

"Sweeping Northwest Shanxi is the best choice!"

"You can avenge Shinozuka Yoshio, let those subordinates who are loyal to Shinozuka Yoshio thank him, and then loyal to him!"

"You can also prove to Neiji Okamura that his command ability is far superior to that of Yoshio Shinozuka!"

"Yoshio Shinozuka can't handle the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army even if he can't dodge it, he can handle it with one attack!"

"Combined with Neiji Okamura's reinforcement of his two divisions and a heavy artillery regiment, I think Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely deploy more than three divisions in his sweep against Northwest Shanxi!"

"The troops are divided into three groups. Under the cover of heavy artillery, aircraft, and tanks, they attack from the southeast. Regardless of the main attack and the assist, they advance in unison. They attack all the way forward and sweep all our bases!"

Li Yunlong's face darkened in an instant: "If Yoshio Yanmatsu really fights as Xiao Huang said, sweeping the northwest of Shanxi with divisions as a unit, and confronting us head-on without any tactics, our chances of winning will be extremely low!"

Ding Wei's face was also ugly, and he lowered his head and replied: "Our three regiments seem to be strong and strong, but the biggest battle we have ever fought has only wiped out one regiment of devils at once."

"If Yoshio Iwamatsu really sweeps us in units of divisions and doesn't continue to divide the troops... Even if the three of us join together, it will be difficult to gnaw away the strength of a division of the devils!"

"Ningji Okamura also reinforced a heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese army in Shanxi. It is impossible for Yoshio Iwamatsu to let the more than [-] heavy artillery pieces be used as decorations. He will definitely support three divisions!"

"Plus the chariots, cavalry, and aircraft that cooperate with the action..."

"Each main division we faced had twelve heavy artillery pieces, thirty-six mountain field artillery pieces, at least 18 infantry artillery pieces, over one hundred mortars, and over one hundred heavy machine guns..."

"There are more than [-] chariots of various types, thousands of cavalry, and more than a dozen escort aircraft..."

...

"Facing such a heavily armored regiment, to be honest, I have no confidence at all."

As soon as Li Yunlong finished talking to Ding Wei, he turned his attention to Kong Jie, wanting to see what good ideas he had.

Kong Jie smiled wryly and waved his hands: "You look at me!"

"Although the independent regiment has fought many big battles, it has never fought against a division of devils... If Yoshio Iwamatsu launches an attack on the base area with the division as a unit... no further division of troops, I think we have a little chance nothing!"

After finishing speaking, he looked to Huang Yu and said, "Xiao Huang... I think you can study the map whenever you have time these two days!"

Do you already have an idea... If you have one, don't hide it! "

Huang Yu said bluntly: "It's still the old rule, it's better to cut off one than to hurt ten fingers!"

"If we want to win the anti-sweeping campaign, we must kill all the sweeping troops sent by Yoshio Iwamatsu, otherwise we have no chance of winning!"

Li Yunlong interrupted suddenly: "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

"We all understand that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. The key question is how to cut off one finger!"

"The heavy firepower of our three regiments combined is not as good as half of the devil's division. Except for the strength of their troops, they are not as good as them in other aspects. How can we fight?"

"With a little carelessness, not only did we not break Yoshio Iwamatsu's finger, but we trapped ourselves in it. We lost our wife and lost our army!"

Huang Yu met Li Yunlong's suspicious eyes and retorted: "No...we still have two advantages!"

"The initiative on the battlefield is in our hands...the base area is so large, we can fight wherever we want, and attack whenever we want!"

"The terrain advantage is also in our hands!"

"We can use all the terrain that is beneficial to us in the base area, turn the entire base area into a battlefield, and consume the little devil!"

"I think these two advantages are useless!" Li Yunlong interjected again.

"The devils are too strong... If there is only one alliance, and the terrain advantage and the initiative on the battlefield are used well, it can indeed cause a fatal attack on them!"

"The key is that their strength exceeds a division!"

"Our terrain advantage is as vulnerable as Paper Lake's in front of the Heavy Armored Division!"

"The so-called battlefield initiative can at most harass their forward troops and peripheral security troops. The main force can't even touch them. How can they severely injure them!"

Huang Yu then said: "Commander Li is right, the general terrain advantage is indeed vulnerable to the attack of aircraft and heavy artillery!"

"But we can transform the terrain, transform the position, and create a position that cannot be damaged by heavy artillery or bombed by aircraft!"

"First use up some of their troops through blocking battles, and then think of ways to gather and annihilate them. It will definitely be much easier to fight!"

Ding Wei followed Huang Yu's words and asked: "Little Huang...do you want to build a large number of dark forts in the base area? Use the dark forts to consume the vital strength of the Japanese and puppet troops!"

Huang Yu shook his head: "The dark castle will not work!"

"It's okay to block ordinary mortars, but it's also vulnerable to the mountain artillery, heavy artillery, and planes equipped by the devils!"

"I'm talking about a stronger position that can withstand the joint attack of aircraft and heavy artillery!"

...

Ding Wei answered again: "Do you want to use cement to build permanent fortifications?"

The more Li Yunlong listened, the more confused he became: "Wait a minute, are all of us thinking wrong!"

"Little Huang, Yoshio Iwamatsu is good at fighting tough battles, fighting big battles, and their firepower advantage is also in their hands..."

"If we give up the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that we are good at, and use favorable terrain to fight against them, isn't this following Yoshio Iwamatsu's way?"

"Besides, permanent fortifications are not a panacea!"

"The little devil built a lot of permanent fortifications in their respective strongholds and county towns, and they were blown into ruins by us in the end!"

"And we don't have so much cement to build permanent fortifications!"

"I think we should make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, give up positional warfare, and consume the devils with guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that we are good at, and then gather and wipe them out!"

Before Huang Yu had time to come, Ding Wei glared at Li Yunlong and said, "A devil's main division has more than [-] people, and there are as few as [-] to [-]!"

"Including the artillery cavalry, chariot troops, and puppet troops who cooperated with them, the total force must have exceeded [-]!"

"No matter how powerful our guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare are, they can only hurt their peripheral troops, not even the fur of the main force, and they won't be able to consume a lot of their troops after fighting for a month or two!"

"Do you think our base area can last for a month or two under the heavy mopping up of devils?"

"Only by fighting tough battles and fighting positional warfare can we fight against their main force and consume a large amount of their troops in the shortest time!"

"What about the casualties?" Li Wenlong asked the most critical question tit for tat.

"The casualties of positional warfare must be very heavy... There are only so many people in our three regiments, and one sacrifice will be one less!"

"Even if we really hit the devils through positional warfare and wiped out the troops all the way... the remaining troops may not have the strength to continue the annihilation battle..."

"At that time, not only will we not be able to break the situation, but we may not even have the strength to protect ourselves!"

"Too risky!"

Kong Jie, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted: "Lao Li, it is indeed risky to fight positional warfare, but at least we still have the chance to turn defeat into victory and annihilate the mopping up troops along the way!"

"According to your idea, use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to slowly consume the devils, just like what Lao Ding said just now, it may not be effective in a month or two!"

"The army can last so long under heavy raids by the Japanese and puppet troops, but ordinary people can't!"

"Yoshio Iwamatsu is not only good at fighting tough battles, positional warfare, big battles, but also likes to kill people...leading troops to kill people in a fair manner"

"If the ordinary people hiding in the mountains can't survive and return to the village, they will definitely die under the butcher's knife of the Japanese puppet army!"

"Two months later, do you think our base area still exists? Will the people still support us as before?"

"In the past, I didn't dare to fight the devils. I felt that this was to use my own weaknesses to overcome the enemy's strengths. Not only would I not be able to take advantage, but I would also suffer heavy losses!"

"After being led by Xiao Huang to fight a few blocking battles, I realized that our Eighth Route Army can also fight the devils. As long as the terrain is selected, the tactics are used well, and the preparations are made in advance, the results will not be great. It is smaller than guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, and the casualties will be controlled within a controllable range!"

"The most important advantage is that it takes a short time!"

"The result of a blocking battle is greater than the result of the half-month guerrilla warfare before!"

"So I agree with Lao Ding's analysis, find a way to fight a large-scale positional warfare with the devils, and consume a large amount of their troops through blocking warfare!"

"Judging from the independent regiment's previous experience in fighting the devils, as long as we choose a good position, repair the fortifications, and prepare enough ammunition, we can have a one-to-three casualty ratio!"

"If the defensive position is stronger than before, maybe we can still achieve a casualty ratio of one to four!"

"It means that we only need to pay the price of [-] people to let the devils wipe out more than half of the troops, and the next battle will be much easier!"
