The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 466 Huang Yu: Commander, the Sato division has to leave (second update)

"Little Huang, in the past few hours, we have achieved far more than the 1000 or [-] little devils you killed!" The team leader Kong Jie ran over at some point and said with a smile on his face!

"Reconnaissance confirmation: the artillery unit destroyed a total of four devil artillery positions. Even if all the devil artillery on the positions were not wiped out, heavy damage is certain!"

"So our results will at least increase by more than 100 devil gunners and more than 20 mortars!"

"The cavalry battalion and the second and third battalions launched an attack from the northwest. Although they didn't fight the devils head-on, they successfully sent more than 20 flying thunder cannons to the battlefield, and fired 26 explosive packets at the devil's circular position..."

"One explosive kills five or six devils, adding up to an infantry squadron!"

"In addition to the artillery killed, the two squadrons must be indispensable!"

"The special forces team and the first battalion launched an attack from the south. The devils invested more than 700 people one after another. After the battle, there are at most 400 people left..."

"Add up all these victories... You killed at least [-] little devils last night!"

"There are a total of more than 6000 people left in the Sato Division. After deducting the losses, there are at most 4000 people left!"

"As long as that old devil Sato is a little more sensible, he will definitely retreat today!"

Huang Yu replied confidently: "Leader, Sato can't retreat if he wants to!"

"We not only killed a lot of little devils on the battlefield, but also seized a lot of gas masks!"

"Including what we saved ourselves can already meet the needs of 1000 people!"

"If Sato doesn't retreat today, we will repeat the old trick after dark, gather 1000 people to attack them... and leave them in Northwest Shanxi completely, and they won't be able to run away even if they want to!"

"Well said..." Kong Jie happily ordered.

"The troops immediately went back to rest... all the wounded were sent to the field hospital for rescue..."

"Let's sit here and wait for the Sato Division to come up with a new move!"

Lieutenant General Sato stood on the circular position that the assault battalion defended last night, looking at the almost contiguous corpses of his subordinates under his feet, he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Division commander..." The chief of staff came over carefully to report...

"We found a total of 1232 corpses of the imperial army here, and none of them belonged to the Eighth Route Army..."

"Except for the corpses outside the position that have not been touched, the corpses in the area occupied by the Independence Regiment have been searched by the Independence Regiment. Weapons, ammunition, gas masks... even dry food... have been swept away!"

"The gas masks lost add up to more than six hundred..."

"Including the gas masks equipped by the Independent Regiment themselves, they have at least a thousand gas masks in their hands!"

"In this way, the threat of gas bombs to them will be greatly reduced!"

"If we use high-explosive bombs in the next battle, the artillery positions will be exposed to them!"

"Just like last night's battle, even though we have shortened the shelling time to the shortest, they still severely damaged three mortar squadrons!"

"Master, I don't think we... can't..."

The chief of staff didn't say the last few words, but Lieutenant General Sato could see what he wanted to say from his expression, clenched his fists and said with regret!

"We've been fooled!"

"The combat goal of the Independence Regiment last night was not to break into our garrison and directly attack our division headquarters, but to use our determination to defend the circular position, turn from offense to defense, and use defensive warfare to consume a large amount of our troops here, forcing We push out their bases and end this sweep!"

"If we don't work so hard and just send troops to guard the inside line, their plot can't be achieved, and we can't lose so many troops!"

The chief of staff became anxious when he heard this, fearing that the head of the division would continue to fight, so he quickly retorted: "Chief of the division, I don't agree with this statement!"

"Perhaps the purpose of the independent group is exactly what you judged!"

"But if we don't send troops to retake the lost rings, they'll flank the rings and attack our troops defending the other rings!"

"There are more than 1000 elites there, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the combined attack from several directions of the independent regiment. Our losses are likely to be even more than here!"

Lieutenant General Sato did have the idea of ​​continuing to defend. After hearing the chief of staff's rebuttal, he fell silent.

The independent regiment occupying here was able to eliminate more than 1000 elites under its command in a blocking battle, which shows that their combat effectiveness is very strong.

If you really go to flank the defenders in other directions, it is really possible to wipe them all out.

Just when he fell into deep thought again, thinking about the next step of the Sato division, Noda Dazuo suddenly ran over: "Division commander... the casualties in the other three directions of the circular position have been counted!"

"More than 260 people have been lost due to the south... A total of two infantry squadrons have been lost in the two directions to the northwest!"

The chief of staff couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Lieutenant General Sato and interrupted with a serious face: "Division commander, we can't fight any longer!"

"In addition to the loss of artillery... In the battle that just ended, we lost nearly 2000 people, basically all front-line combat troops!"

"Xiaozhi did some calculations in his mind just now. The entire Sato Division has only more than 800 people in total, and there are nearly a thousand wounded!"

"There are less than 4000 soldiers who can continue to fight!"

"Minus the medics, the supply corps, the artillery, the machine gunners, the sappers, the civilian officers..."

"The remaining front-line combat troops are less than 3000!"

"The heavy firepower also suffered heavy losses in the battle just now, and it is even more incomparable with the independent regiment!"

"Now they have more than 1000 gas masks, and they are not even afraid of our gas bombs!"

"If they repeat the old trick tonight, continue to raid the circular defense line, and consume a lot of our troops with blocking warfare and artillery, the remaining troops of the Sato division may not be able to last for two nights!"

"I suggest that the troops immediately destroy unnecessary supplies and ammunition, advance lightly, and evacuate the independent regiment base as quickly as possible!"

"If you don't retreat, the Sato Division will be over!"

Colonel Noda at the side was also aware of the dangerous situation the troops were facing, and immediately supported him: "Commander, I fully agree with the chief of staff's analysis...we can't fight any longer!"

The chief of staff continued: "I know that the commander of the division is worried that the military department will not agree to our retreat..."

"But I don't think this is a problem. As long as you report the real situation facing the Sato Division to the military headquarters, they will definitely agree to our retreat!"

"Unless the other two divisions can make a major breakthrough within two days, not only will we not be able to hold back the independent regiment, but we will also put the other division in danger of being attacked!"

The general situation cannot be violated, Lieutenant General Sato finally chose to compromise, and said with a long sigh: "I will send a telegram to the military department now...whether we can retreat or not depends on the final order of the military department!"

The chief of staff was afraid that Lieutenant General Sato would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "The commander of the division is wise!"

"I believe that the military department will not let the Sato Division be wiped out here!"

　The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
