The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The situation is even worse than expected, and the pressure faced by the independent regiment is also greater than expected.

Kong Jie frowned instantly into a big Sichuan character, and was silent for a long time before opening his mouth.

"Chief of Staff, tell me in detail how many Japanese and puppet troops we are facing directly, and how are their equipment? The more detailed the better!"

"As you deduced just now: when our Second Regiment is weak, the devil will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to attack us."

"Only by knowing myself and the enemy can I be victorious in all battles!"

Liu Sen immediately spread out the map of the base area, and the chief pointed to Baoding in the middle of the map: "Baoding has the most Japanese and puppet troops..."

"Including the new recruits and weapons and ammunition just added, the light devils have a process brigade of more than 8000 people, and a brigade of second devils, a total of more than 1000 people!"

"There is a garrison team and a regiment of second devils stationed in each of the several counties within the territory..."

"There are 1000 to 400 devils in the larger county, and more than [-] devils in the smaller county..."

"The equipment is very good... small counties have three or four mortars and three or four heavy machine guns, and large counties have two infantry guns in addition to mortar squadrons and heavy machine gun squadrons..."

"The mixed brigade in Baoding City is equipped with a mountain artillery brigade and an independent heavy artillery brigade..."

"When recruiting new recruits, a dozen field artillery pieces were added together...I guess they will set up a new field artillery brigade soon...Then the artillery strength of Baoding City will be further improved, and our pressure will be even greater. Get bigger!"

A question suddenly flashed in Kong Jie's mind: "Baoding is neither the provincial capital nor an important military town, so why are there so many troops stationed here!"

"In a city like this in Shanxi, there are too many infantry regiments stationed there!"

Liu Sen immediately explained: "Although Baoding is not an important military town, it is a material transfer station... The weapons and ammunition used by the Japanese army in Hebei are transferred from here, and even some weapons and ammunition used by the Japanese army in Shanxi are transferred from here..."

"As far as I know, several large warehouses in the city are full all year round!"

"In order to prevent these materials from going wrong, the Japanese army had to deploy heavy troops to protect them!"

"Then there's no need to garrison so many troops!" Kong Jie still didn't understand.

Looking at Liu Sen, he continued to ask: "Mountain Artillery Brigade, Field Artillery Brigade, Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade... These are the configurations only available to field troops... The little devil asked them to defend the city. , unnecessary action!"

"Regimental Commander... I think the devil's intention to station heavy troops in Baoding is to hold us back and act as a hindrance to Beiping and Tianjin!" Huang Yu interrupted suddenly.

"The Yizhong base area is developing very fast. If you pass Baoding and go northeast, you will find Tianjin and Beiping!"

"For the time being, there are no heavy troops to curb our momentum of developing to the northeast. It won't take long before Beiping and Tianjin will be surrounded by our bases!"

Liu Sen immediately echoed: "This is indeed another reason why the Japanese army stationed heavy troops in Baoding!"

Then he stared at Huang Yu with a puzzled expression and asked, "I don't know who this comrade is?"

"The deputy chief of staff of the Second Regiment and a battalion commander of the main battalion personally appointed by the chief... Considering that the First Battalion of the Second Regiment does not have a battalion commander, I plan to let him temporarily act as the commander of the first battalion..." …

"When the first battalion has a suitable battalion commander in the future, he will go to prepare a new unit..."

"This is a talent... When I was in the Independence Regiment, many battle plans were drawn up by him alone, very powerful!"

"The chief wanted to transfer him to the headquarters several times as a combat staff officer, but he refused all of them. He stayed by my side to give advice, and at the same time, the command did not know how to fight!"

"Don't look at him as a battalion-level cadre, but he commanded quite a few troops!"

"There are no less than three large-scale battles involving more than 5000 people, and countless battles involving two to 3000 people. Although he is young, he has a lot of experience in commanding battles!"

"This time I came to be the leader of the Duer Regiment. I have the cheek to ask the chief if I want to come!"

Huang Yu stood up and saluted at the right time: "Hi Chief of Staff, I am Huang Yu... Please give me your advice in the future!"

Liu Sen was taken aback by Huang Yu's resume, and hurriedly replied: "Hello, Comrade Huang Yu... I don't dare to teach you... Let's learn from each other!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the map and continued to introduce: "In addition to these regular troops, we also need to be on guard against Japanese chariot troops, cavalry troops, and fast troops to attack!"

"There are many plains in the wing, roads are everywhere, and the traffic is developed. It is very suitable for cavalry, chariots and automobiles!"

"These devils were still in Baoding City last night, and they will probably appear outside our base in a few hours. Their action speed is faster than our speed of delivering information. The base has suffered a lot from this!"

"There is a cavalry regiment of more than 300 devil cavalry in Baoding!"

"A chariot brigade has nearly forty various tanks and armored vehicles..."

"There is also a fast and fast force fully equipped with cars...a total of more than 300 people, equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, all transported by cars..."

"When marching fast, you can easily transfer thirty kilometers in one hour!"

"They often cooperate with the chariot brigade and the cavalry regiment. They catch us by surprise with lightning speed, tear a hole in the defense line of the base area, and open the way forward for the follow-up main force!"

"Their transfer speed is too fast, and every time they make a shot, we can't defend against it... We suffered a lot..."

Kong Jie thought for a while before saying to Liu Sen: "The Chief of Staff is more familiar with the true strength of the Independent Regiment than we are, and is more aware of the surrounding enemy situation... What do you think is the top priority of the Second Regiment now?"

"Improve the morale of the troops...Immediately establish a defense line around the base area...Strengthen your guard and withstand the new round of attacks that the Japanese army may launch at any time!"

"Only by holding on to the base will the Duer Regiment have time to recover and grow again!"

Kong Jie continued to ask: "How to build a defense line, how to block them?"

"I used to fight all mountain warfare, and rarely fought on the plains... First, tell us about the main combat methods of the troops in the plains!"

Liu Sen pulled out another map and introduced: "In order to prevent the Japanese army from invading our base area, the troops mobilized the people in the base area to dig a large number of ditches on both sides of the road. Transfer!"  …

"Every village around the base has dug a large number of tunnels... When the devils invaded, we first evacuated the people in the villages, and then relied on the tunnels in the villages to fight the Japanese and puppet troops. Let the devils occupy every village and pay a huge price... ..."

"Combined with frontal blocking, the devil's mopping up troops often go deep into the base area for tens of miles, and they will retreat because of the loss of soldiers and generals!"

"This defeat... we relied on the tunnels in various villages to get rid of the Japanese and puppet troops..."

"Otherwise the Duer Regiment will definitely be driven into the mountain by the little devil, and give up all the bases outside the mountain, and our loss will be great!"

There is no suitable terrain for guerrilla warfare, the troops create their own terrain...

Kong Jie flashed an expression of admiration after listening.

The Wingzhong troops are so intelligent that they can even think of ways to dig ditches and tunnels...

At this moment, Huang Yu interjected again: "Commander, although these strategies proposed by the chief of staff are very good, they are not without loopholes!"

"The ditches on both sides of the road can indeed hide troops, but they are easily destroyed..."

"The little devils have planes in the sky, heavy artillery and tanks on the ground... If they gather heavy troops and make up their minds to destroy us, the effect of the ditches will be very limited!"

"The tunnels in the village can only deal with small Japanese troops..."

"If the Japanese and puppet troops have a strong force, we divide a force to encircle and not attack, trap our troops in the tunnel, and other troops continue to attack the hinterland of the base area..."

"Our troops will be divided into various villages and be defeated by the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"It's much more difficult to fight here than in the mountains!"

"Without the advantageous terrain, we can't even build the most commonly used bunkers in Northwest Shanxi. Even if we build a mound out of thin air and build a bunker inside the mound... the soil will not be able to withstand the bomb attack because of the softness of the soil, which is a waste of time." A lot of manpower and material resources!"

Liu Sen has a high opinion of Huang Yu again...

I didn't expect him to be so powerful, he had never fought in the plains, and he found so many loopholes based on his own introduction, so he nodded immediately.

"Head, the problems mentioned by Deputy Chief of Staff Huang really do exist!"

"The army has also suffered a lot!"

"But our conditions here are limited, and we can't think of other ways to break the situation. We can only see the tricks and keep improving the old ways!"

Kong Jie nodded to Liu Sen to express his understanding, and then turned his attention to Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang, don't play tricks on us... Have you thought of a way to break the situation? Don't worry, speak up boldly, and let's discuss it together!"

Huang Yu was not polite at all, and said bluntly: "There is indeed an idea to have the best of both worlds..."

"But without a detailed report on the enemy's situation, it is impossible to formulate a too detailed combat plan. There is only a general idea?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get straight to business...I don't know about you..." Kong Jie scolded angrily.

"Take the initiative to attack!" Huang Yu's face immediately became serious, and he answered Huang Yu's gaze.

"In the eyes of the devils, our No. [-] Regiment has lost troops and lost its generals, and its strength is very reduced. It is the best time for them to catch them all!"

"If we turn from defense to offense, take the initiative to enter the enemy-occupied area, take down a few strongholds, mess up their occupied area, and make them feel that the Second Regiment has reinforcements, the devils will not dare to attack rashly no matter how arrogant they are!"

"The best way to restore morale is to win battles!"

"As long as we go to the enemy-occupied area and fight a few victories, the low morale of the Second Regiment will naturally recover!"

Chief of Staff Liu Sen thought that Huang Yu had some good ideas, so he shook his head after hearing this, and replied with a helpless face: "Regimental Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Huang, I have thought about the way to take the initiative, but the Duer Regiment doesn't have it." The strength to take the initiative!"
