The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 820 The Eighth Route Army Will Drop Beans and Become Soldiers? (Second more)
In a forest one kilometer south of Chenjiazhuang, after the unremitting efforts of the devil guards, a headquarters that can withstand the attack of ordinary artillery was successfully built.

Lieutenant General Sakuragi was immediately sent here by the guards.

On the table made of bullet boxes, several combat staff officers are hand-painting combat maps based on the latest enemy situation.

In the original combat rescue plan, the central mopping forces should seize Chenjiazhuang, block the Eighth Route Army in the middle wing in the plain area south of Chenjiazhuang, wait for the left and right mopping troops to form a siege, and then find a way to gather and annihilate them.

At this moment, Chenjiazhuang on the map is still occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

The mopping forces on the middle road were blocked in the plain area south of Chenjiazhuang.

The planned hunter suddenly became the prey, and the Eighth Route Army was all around, and they might be gathered and wiped out at any time.

Faced with such a huge change, Lieutenant General Sakuragi stared at the map for a long time, unwilling to accept this cruel fact.

Suddenly he punched the ammunition box, and said viciously: "Isn't it just becoming a prey? It's no big deal."

"The battlefield changes rapidly. Before the battle, no one knew that we would change from hunters to prey."

"The real decisive battle has not yet begun. As long as we continue to fight, no one knows whether this transformation will happen again."

"As long as the battle is not over, we may turn back into hunters and wipe out the Eighth Route Army."

"Order the artillery, replenish the wing, and speed up the construction of fortifications."

"The fortifications must be dug out before dark."

"The Eighth Route Army is good at night battles. At that time, we didn't have aircraft to help us fight. They would definitely attack us and further consume our troops."

"If the troops don't even have a bunker, the soldiers must have suffered a lot in battle."

"Da da da... bang bang bang..."

Suddenly, there was a lot of firefighting sounds from the flanks of the circular position, Lieutenant General Sakuragi was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

Stride to the lookout of the headquarters, raised the binoculars to follow the sound, and suddenly became very anxious, for fear that some uncontrollable accidents would happen in the battle situation.

The distance between the two sides was too far, and he couldn't see anything.

But the sound of intense firefights from the battlefield indicated that at least one regiment of the Eighth Route Army was participating in the battle.

A lot of cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead, never expecting the Eighth Route Army to make such a surprise move.

Regardless of the cruising aircraft overhead, they actively launched an attack.

But Lieutenant General Sakuragi quickly figured out the reason, and analyzed with a calm face: "Our opponent is indeed very good."

"I didn't miss the slightest chance to consume our army's strength."

"Our position has not been repaired yet. The Eighth Route Army will take advantage of this moment to launch a sudden attack. Even if we have aircraft support, we will pay a high price."

"If we wait until we have repaired the position before launching an attack, even at night, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of us."

"Order artillery and aviation to attack the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops immediately. Be sure to block their offensive with artillery fire and buy time for the supplementary wing to build fortifications."

"Master..."

A lieutenant rushed into the command post panting heavily, and reported anxiously before he could stand still.

"A large number of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared on the left wing of the position, and launched a surprise attack on us with mortars and heavy machine guns..."

"Their attack was too sudden, the firepower was too fierce, and all the security positions have been lost."

"The army is relying on the temporary outer defense line to stand by and ask for reinforcements..."

"The Eighth Route Army attacking us consisted of at least two regiments equipped with thirty or forty mortars, twenty or thirty heavy machine guns, and countless light machine guns."

"Almost all security forces were killed by mortar shells."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi's judgment is not much different from the orderer's report, and he has already issued a countermeasure order.But the expression on his face did not become relaxed. Instead, he grabbed the lieutenant by his collar and asked calmly, "Say it again..."

"How many people are there in the Eighth Route Army attacking you?"

"At least two regiments..." the lieutenant orderly said firmly.

"They attacked us in companies. Each infantry company is equipped with more than two mortars, at least one heavy machine gun, and four or five light machine guns."

"At the same time, rush to our security position from the defense line that stretches for two or three kilometers."

"Many security forces didn't even have a chance to call out their mobile phones, and were directly overwhelmed by their offensive firepower."

"There are at least twenty such offensive troops, and the total strength must exceed two regiments."

"How is this possible?" Lieutenant General Sakuragi asked in disbelief.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the rear has one regiment. If the Eighth Route Army attacking the left flank of the position has two regiments, where did the Eighth Route Army operating on our right flank come from?"

"Also, where did the Eighth Route Army come from, who defended Chenjiazhuang and almost devoured the attacking troops?"

"The intelligence department, the aviation unit, and the reconnaissance unit all confirmed with us that there are only three regiments of the Eighth Route Army active around Chenjiazhuang."

"According to your report: there are more than three regiments of the Eighth Route Army that have fought against us so far."

"If the Eighth Route Army on the right wing of the position has not yet fought against us, there are at least five regiments of the Eighth Route Army active in Chenjiazhuang..."

"No, plus the Chenjiazhuang defenders, there should be six main regiments."

"But all the main forces of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army add up to only five regiments. Where did they get so many troops?"

"And there are still a lot of troops blocking the sweeping troops on the left and right."

"Could it be that they will throw beans into soldiers?"

Everyone in the headquarters didn't know how to answer Lieutenant General Sakuragi's series of questions.

They all chose to be silent, and the atmosphere became depressing.

I don't know how long it took, but the chief of staff replied in a low voice: "The head of the division..."

"We are from the Northeast, and we are reinforcements invited by the North China Front..."

"You said that the extra Eighth Route Army around us might be the reinforcements invited by the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."

"The reinforcements gave up heavy weapons and marched separately under the cover of night. It was easy to escape the eyes of our army's scouts and intelligence personnel and enter the base in the wings."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi's face became more and more serious, and his panting sound became heavier than before. He stared at the map and said with a serious face: "Then it's troublesome..."

"After fighting for so long, the troops didn't even know how many troops the opponent had. This is simply a joke."

"If there were really five regiments of the Eighth Route Army around us, and they launched an attack overnight, we might not even be able to survive tonight, let alone be used as a bait to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army until the left and right sweeping troops come to join the battle."

"The troops continue to build fortifications, try to build them as strong as possible, build a few more lines of defense, and at the same time be ready to break out and transfer at any time."

"I will immediately report this new news to the former enemy headquarters."

"They have more sources of information than we do, and they will definitely be able to find out how many Eighth Route Army our opponent has, and by the way determine whether the original mopping plan should continue."
