The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The chief of staff was deeply convinced, and looked at the brigade commander with a serious face and suggested: "Should I send a telegram to Kong Jie and the others, so that they are ready to evacuate Northwest Shanxi at any time!"

"People save and the land is lost, and everyone and the land remain... People lose the land and save it, and everyone and the land are lost!"

"As long as we keep the main elite of the three regiments, we can rebuild our base wherever we go!"

The brigade commander shook his head and objected: "Can't withdraw!"

"The army can leave with a pat on the buttocks. What about the more than one million ordinary people in the base areas in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Kong Jie and the others were listed as a serious threat by the Japanese army in Shanxi. Yoshio Iwamatsu assembled three divisions to deal with them, and it is certain to win. If they enter the northwest of Shanxi, they will not even touch the buttocks of the three regiments. Do you think Yoshio Iwamatsu Will you be willing?"

"I'm holding back my anger, and I always have to find someone to vent it out. The more than one million ordinary people in Northwest Shanxi will be miserable."

"Yoshio Iwamatsu is a Japanese officer who likes to slaughter people very much. If he hates the people in Northwest Shanxi because of Kong Jie and the others, and raises his butcher knife at them. Our independent regiment, the new regiment, and the new regiment will all become Jin Sinners of the Northwest!"

"Don't forget, we are the team of the common people. Without the support of the common people, we cannot develop."

"No matter what you do, you must put the safety of the people first..."

"Even if Kong Jie and the others want to evacuate Northwest Shanxi, they must take all the people in the base area away, and they must not leave it to the little devils!"

"The big sweep is about to start... It must be too late to take the people to transfer now!" The chief of staff analyzed with a heavy face.

"We can't lose the base area and the people retreat by themselves..."

"I can only fight to the end with Yoshio Iwamatsu!"

"I think we should immediately remind them to be defeated and go into the mountains to fight guerrilla mentally!"

The brigade commander still didn't answer. After two minutes of silence, his face suddenly became very determined, and he punched the table hard before making a decision: "Yoshio Iwamatsu wants to win Northwest Shanxi in a single battle, so he must See if he has such good teeth!"

"Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei...and our little Huang are not ordinary commanders!"

"Even if you really can't beat Yoshio Iwamatsu, you can knock off his two tiger teeth!"

"Since the brigade headquarters can't directly reinforce them, it can only provide them with some intelligence support!"

"From now on, all the information we receive related to Northwest Shanxi will be forwarded to Kong Jie and the others as soon as possible, so that they will know what to expect and won't be caught off guard by Yoshio Iwamatsu."

Longgong Village is the only way for Duanjiabao to connect Yuanping County, and it is also an important checkpoint for the Japanese and puppet troops to blockade the base of the Independence Regiment!
To the northwest of the village is the base of the Independent Regiment, and to the southeast is the area occupied by the devils.

In order to prevent the independent regiment from smuggling food and ammunition supplies from the Japanese-occupied area, the devils stationed a whole reinforced squadron and two puppet troops here, with a total strength of more than [-] people, and strictly checked every ordinary person who passed by.

Yuanping County is less than [-] kilometers away from Longgong Village, and it is the advance base of the Japanese army's mopping up troops on the middle road.

In the past month, several convoys have been transporting ammunition supplies to the city every day.

In the last few days, in addition to ammunition supplies, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops continued to pour into the county, and the small county town also unknowingly became a Japanese and puppet military garrison.

...

Lieutenant General Zuo Teng, the head of the division, went to the city for two days. While waiting for the follow-up troops to distribute ammunition and supplies, he studied the combat plan issued by the military headquarters to find the most suitable attack route for him.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant General Zuo Teng was not in a hurry to sleep.

According to the scheduled battle plan, all the follow-up troops under his command will be in place within two days. After a day's rest, the troops will be dispatched on time on the fourth morning.

However, there are still three points in the army's offensive route that have not been finalized. He must hurry up and make a decision, otherwise it will definitely affect the next big sweep.

After eating, I went back to the war room, planning to go to bed at a certain time tonight.

"Jingle Bell!"

As soon as he focused on the map, the shrill ringing of the phone reached his ears.

Lieutenant General Zuo Fuji glared at the operator and then refocused his gaze on the map.

This is the headquarters of the division and regiment. There are hundreds of calls received and made every day. Although the sudden ringtone of the phone interrupted the thoughts, it was not too serious.

It wasn't until the operator ran towards him in a hurry that Lieutenant General Zuo Teng realized something was wrong.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard the other party report with a nervous face: "Your Excellency, Division Commander~ The Longgong Village stronghold was suddenly attacked by an independent regiment. The other party dispatched mortars, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and heavy machine guns..."

"The offensive firepower is very fierce. [-]% of the bunkers and gun towers have been destroyed. Please send troops to reinforce immediately!"

Lieutenant General Zuo Teng was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by the news.

In his plan, the Zuo Teng Division has a heavy force, and the most important thing for the independent regiment to do now is to defend the position, or find a place to hide, instead of actively attacking itself!
The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and they cannot afford to lose.

The chief of staff of the division immediately asked: "In addition to heavy weapons, how many people did they dispatch?"

"More than [-] people." The operator replied with certainty.

"Report from the base of Longgong Village, the Eighth Route Army is all around, at least [-] people..."

"Let's send troops to reinforce immediately... otherwise the stronghold will be unable to defend!"

"The independent regiment is indeed very difficult!" Lieutenant General Zuo Teng interrupted suddenly.

"They want to strike preemptively, disrupt our offensive rhythm, take the opportunity to take the initiative on the battlefield, and boost the anti-sweeping morale of the troops by the way!"

"But they underestimated our strength too much!"

"They dare to provoke us with their little troops, they are looking for death!"

"The First Regiment, the First Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, and the cavalry brigade directly under the division, immediately assemble and set off to reinforce the Longgong Village stronghold, and defeat the independent regiment's preemptive plot!"

"It's best to hit them hard, use a good start to severely hit their anti-sweeping morale, lose the wife and lose the army!"

The independent regiment attacked the position northwest of Longgong Village. The regiment leader Kong Jie and the deputy chief of staff Huang Yu all held up binoculars to observe the battle situation in front of them.

Huang Yu suddenly put down the binoculars and glanced at his watch, and then reminded Kong Jie: "Regimental Commander, the offensive of the First Battalion will be strengthened, just as the battle will end within half an hour!"

"The offensive has already started for an hour, and the reinforcements sent by Yoshio Iwamatsu must have already set off, and they will be able to kill here in more than two hours with a quick march!"

"We not only need to take down Longgong Village before the devil's reinforcements come over, but also transform and arrange the pocket formations, attack the devil's reinforcements head-on, and give Yoshio Iwamatsu a scare!"

Kong Jie opened his mouth and began to give orders: "Notify Shen Quan, the battle must end within half an hour!"

"The mountain artillery battery I allocated to him is not a decoration. His mission is to destroy the enemy, not to capture the spoils. If he can use the cannon to blow it up, he will blow it up hard!"
