The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 565 The Tradition of Showing Weakness Cannot Be Lost (Part [-])
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the former enemy headquarters of the Second Regiment in Pingyang Town.

The three garrison regiments under his command launched an attack on the Japanese puppet army at the same time as if they had discussed it.

If all three battles are won, the base area will usher in a period of rapid development, and no one can stop it.

In the future, when the Japanese and puppet troops encounter raids, the four troops under their command will be able to serve as horns for each other, cover each other, and defend the base.

In case any troops lose, the three garrison regiments under his command may be reduced to two, or even one.

At this moment of crisis, which is related to the life and death of the base area, Kong Jie couldn't sleep even if he wanted to.

The guard paced back and forth in the war room, and glanced at the telegraph operator every one to two ten minutes to confirm whether the radio station had received any new messages.

At three o'clock in the morning, the telegraph machine, which had been quiet for most of the night, suddenly started to move. The signal lights kept flashing. The operator wore headphones, and while answering the signal, he wrote the code of the signal he had received on the telegraph...

He waited for the signal light to stop flashing before putting down the earphones, and handed over the telegram full of signal codes to the deputy platoon leader of the communications platoon.

He had been on standby for a long time, and after receiving the telegram, he translated it against the cipher book.

The deputy head of the brigade has been focusing on the reinforcements and supplementary troops that the front army promised Baoding these two days, and his mind is clear.Without even thinking about it, he blurted out a report: "Another infantry brigade from the front army to reinforce us has been transferred from Tianjin. It will set off early tomorrow morning and march normally. We can arrive in Baoding tomorrow night."

"Ask them to digest the results of the battle as soon as possible and expand the garrison group..."

"Mancheng Garrison Commander Huang reported: The troops entered the county town half an hour ago, and the battle ended 10 minutes ago. They successfully captured Mancheng and seized a lot of spoils..."

"Pa..." Major General Zhang Gu slammed his fist on the table in front of him, his eyes turned red at the same time, he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "How could it be so fast?"

"The speed is too slow..." Major General Zhang Gu said very dissatisfied.

"The Eighth Route Army pulls troops very fast. If they are allowed to stay in Wangdu and Mancheng for five days, not only will the two counties be emptied, but a large number of recruits will be taken away... The speed is fast enough, and the two counties will be emptied. If it develops into a guerrilla zone, it will cost us a lot to regain the two counties.

"The rest of the previous supplementary soldiers are from North Korea and are on their way to Huabei. They are expected to arrive within ten days."

Baoding was tens of kilometers away from Wangdu County, and the only radio connection was cut off. Facing the brigade commander's questioning, no one could answer, and the atmosphere in the war room immediately became depressing.

"That's what the Shunping garrison group did. By showing weakness, the little devils look down on us. Only when we send troops to sweep the base area in the future will we have an opportunity."

The head of the brigade asked him to contact the mobile unit, and now that he came back with this expression, it is possible that something happened to the mobile unit. The Eighth Route Army was really planning an unprecedented big operation just as the brigade head guessed.

As the old saying goes, when a person is unlucky, drinking water is bitter.

Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army was so powerful that the usually indestructible city defense fortifications instantly turned into paper toys. The city defense troops were overwhelmed when they first attacked the city, and they had to ask the brigade headquarters for help.

Just when he was about to speak again, the communication staff officer ran over in a hurry again, his dark color was also very dignified.

Baoding's newly formed mobile unit first recaptured the Qinggang stronghold, and then went to reinforce Wangdu and Mancheng.

"Nani..." Major General Zhang Gu's red eyes quickly widened, and he sat down on the chair, unable to recover for a long time.

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Baoding, Major General Hase was furious in the war room with a sullen face.

As for the Shunping garrison regiment, with Huang Yu's command ability, even if they can't beat the devils to mop up the troops, it will be no problem to retreat completely.

Major General Zhang Gu became angry when he heard it, frowned, and scolded with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Bageyalu...have you suffered a lot from underestimating the enemy at the hands of the Eighth Route Army?"

Immediately ordered: "Hurry up and call Huang Qi back: Congratulations to them..."

The three garrison regiments fought separately, and two of the garrison regiments had just been formed for two or three days. He was most worried about Deng Jingye and Huang Qi.Now that they have successfully completed the task, all the worries in their minds have disappeared.

Kong Jie took a long breath and said: "One of the three major battles has already secured the victory. I can finally let go of my hanging heart. Immediately call back Deng Jingye: The troops should hurry up to digest the results of the battle, and then find a way to use Wangdu County Make a good calculation of the little devil, buy more training time for the troops, and set up the Wangdu County garrison regiment for me as soon as possible."

"Good fight..."

The content of the telegram was very long, and it took 10 minutes for the translation to stop. He stood up and reported to Kong Jie: "Regimental Commander, the Wangdu County Defense Regiment has a good news. They just captured Wangdu County and wiped out all the garrison in the city."

Just as he was racking his brains to assemble reinforcements and keep the two county towns as much as possible, the communications staff rushed in and reported nervously before he could stand still: "General, our radio contact with Wangdu County has been cut off. ...The humble official suspects that Wangdu County has been breached by the Eighth Route Army..."

The deputy head of the brigade was also frightened by the fierce tactics of the Duer Regiment, and after listening to it, he showed a terrified expression.

Kong Jie nodded: "When I was the head of the regiment in Northwest Shanxi, Xiao Huang was the deputy chief of staff. He was the one who asked me to hide my strength. The effect is very good."

The deputy brigade commander seemed to have misunderstood something, and asked back with a frown: "General, there will be an infantry brigade arriving in Baoding tomorrow night... Did you forget them?"

"2000 of the [-] supplementary soldiers come from China and are still being transported by sea. It will take five days at the fastest to arrive."

At four o'clock in the morning, the signal light of the station flashed again.

"Commander Deng also reported that the arsenal in the city was also taken down by them. Not a single bullet was destroyed by the devils. They also seized six mortars, eight heavy machine guns, 19 light machine guns, and more than 500 various rifles. , plus the weapons and ammunition they seized in various strongholds, with the support of the regiment headquarters, it will not be a problem to pull up a garrison regiment of 2000 people."

Compared with just now, Kong Jie was much happier when he heard the good news, and almost jumped up from the ground in excitement.

"If there are sufficient mobile troops in Baoding, even if you give them ten guts, they would not dare to operate in the plains."

"We have already lost enough troops during this period. If we lose one or two reinforcement brigades, God Amaterasu will not be able to save us when he descends into the world."

He slept soundly at first, but when Wangdu County's telegram for help arrived, he was woken up from the bed by his deputy. However, before any discussion was made, Mancheng County also sent a telegram for help.

"The Eighth Route Army didn't attack the city early, and didn't attack the city late, but waited for the mobile troops to attack the Qinggang stronghold to attack the city. This must not be a coincidence... I suspect they have a bigger conspiracy."

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly raised my head and ordered: "Hurry up and contact the mobile unit, and ask them if there is anything wrong there?"

"Several times of anti-sweeping, our hidden troops came out at critical moments, dealt fatal attacks to the enemy, and ended the battle."

"The reason why the Eighth Route Army operating in the Baoding area dared to be so rampant was to attack both Shunping and Wangdu and Mancheng. The biggest reason was that we were short of troops and couldn't send troops to attack them."

"At this rate, we won't be able to send troops to retake Wangdu and Mancheng after five days."

"Now we have three garrison regiments and one main force regiment. If the actual strength exceeds 6000, but in the eyes of the little devils, there are only 6000 to [-] troops, their next big raid will be based on the standard of [-] to [-] troops. At the critical moment, the main force is fully deployed, and they will definitely be caught off guard, and they may be able to fight two battles of annihilation in the base area."

"Send a reminder telegram to the two garrison regiments at the same time: I don't care how many people they expand their troops to. The garrison regiment can only have 1000 people outside. Except for heavy machine guns and a small amount of mortars, no other heavy weapons are allowed. "

"The stronger our army is, the more the devils fear us, and the more troops will be dispatched to attack us in the future. Only by hiding our strength and letting the devils underestimate the enemy can the troops send out surprise troops in the next war and kill them One is caught off guard and defends the base with the minimum cost."

"Relying on a brigade to attack Wangdu County and Mancheng County is no different from courting death."

…………

"Plus the police, the secret service team, and the county town still have seven or eight hundred garrisons. They have only been attacked for half an hour, and the troops are still protected by city fortifications. Even seven or eight hundred pigs cannot be wiped out so quickly... What does the captain of the Wangdu County Defense Team do for food..."

After finishing speaking, he shifted his gaze to the deputy brigade commander who also made great contributions to the crime, and asked anxiously: "When the front army command promised us another infantry brigade, when did we promise that our [-] supplementary soldiers would be in place..."

This victory report was much shorter. It took only 5 minutes after the radio station received the signal, and the deputy platoon leader of the communication platoon reported excitedly: "Commander, great victory!"

Before Major General Changgu calmed down from the sad news of the fall of Wangdu, a telegraph operator rushed into the war room again: "Report to the commander: Our radio contact with the troops stationed in Mancheng has also been interrupted."

"You must gather more than two brigades to counterattack Wangdu and Mancheng. Otherwise, I would rather let the two counties be occupied by the Eighth Route Army than let the troops take risks. In the end, I will lose my wife and lose my army."

Wang Lin, chief of staff of the Shunping Defense Regiment, suddenly said: "The head of this idea told me..."

Major General Chang Gu's original battle plan was to rely on the strong fortifications in Wangdu County and Mancheng to hold back the Eighth Route Army. If there is a chance, it would be even better to consume more of their troops with blocking warfare.

"They can conquer Wangdu County and Mancheng County in half an hour. Do you think the Eighth Route Army active there is an idler?"

"Just let them rest in Baoding City for one night, and the next morning they can send troops to follow the city!"

"Report to the head of the brigade, the mobile unit has contacted..."

Major General Zhang Gu was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard it wrong, he shook his head and asked, "Wait a minute, what did you just say, say it again?"

"We have contacted the mobile unit!" The communications staff said again.
