The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 822 Your Excellency, Commander, All Matched (Second)
The intelligence staff officer didn't want to take the blame for missing important information, so he struggled to answer: "Sir, calm down..."

"The information didn't reach us at the same time. After being processed by different people, each of us only processed two or three pieces of it. The total number of troops mobilized by the enemy was only one battalion, and it was still dispersed."

"It doesn't deserve our attention at all."

"Who would have thought that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army would march in companies and mobilize several regiments for reinforcements."

"According to statistics, the Yizhong Eighth Route Army has received at least five regiments of reinforcements..."

"Today's Yizhong base has at least ten regiments of the Eighth Route Army."

"It's over..." A look of despair flashed across the face of the intelligence officer.

Because of the intelligence department's mistakes, they did not discover the deployment of the Eighth Route Army in advance, which caused the headquarters to mistakenly believe that there were only five regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong base area. In fact, they had ten regiments of the Eighth Route Army, which completely underestimated half of their strength.

Now the sweeping troops have lost battles on the front lines, and some troops are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and may be wiped out at any time.

The intelligence agencies absolutely cannot shirk their responsibility.

A bold idea popped up in his mind: immediately destroy the information in his hand, assuming that nothing happened, and try to reduce his responsibility in this matter as much as possible.

But he quickly shook his head against the idea.

The crime of knowing the law and breaking the law is added to one class.

If Neiji Okamura decides to thoroughly investigate this matter, no matter how concealed he is and how much evidence he destroys, it will eventually be exposed.

Originally, he was just sent to a military court to cut off his military career for the rest of his life.

Because of this incident, it is very likely that even his life will not be saved.

After re-reading the dozens of pieces of information compiled by the intelligence staff, he resolutely stood up from his chair and walked towards the headquarters with heavy steps.

…………

At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Neiji Okamura's face was very ugly.

The deputy chief of staff stood aside, pointing to the sand table and briefing him on the latest battle situation on the front line.

"Snapped……"

Not knowing what happened, Neiji Okamura's clenched fist suddenly slammed into the border of the sand table, which made the staff of the command headquarters tremble, and they were very careful in everything they did, for fear of making any noise that would cause the commander's dissatisfaction and set him on fire.

The deputy chief of staff saw that Neiji Okamura was burning with anger, and was very angry, but he still bit the bullet and introduced: "The Sakuragi Division has just been raided by five main regiments of the Eighth Route Army."

"The enemy used a large number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns to attack and sweep the troops from a long distance."

"The troops are still rushing to repair the fortifications, and many soldiers were killed because they had no shelter."

"Through the joint attack of artillery and aviation, we were lucky to block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army."

"However, the sweeping forces in the middle also lost thousands of people, lost a field artillery position, and lost 12 field artillery."

"According to statistics, there are only more than [-] people left in the middle road sweeping force..."

"Subtracting the artillery, engineers, and all combat troops and supply troops, the total number is less than 500."

"The Eighth Route Army besieging them has a total of five regiments, with a total strength of no less than 1 troops."

"The number of heavy equipment is unknown."

"Sakuragi-kun thinks that the Eighth Route Army is afraid of our aviation and has not used mountain artillery and large-caliber heavy artillery."

"Not surprisingly, dozens of field artillery and heavy artillery equipped by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army are all lurking in Chenjiazhuang, and will attack the central mopping forces when it gets dark."

Neiji Okamura analyzed with a calm face: "In addition to air superiority, troop superiority, terrain superiority, and firepower superiority, they are basically on the side of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."

"After dark, our only aviation advantage will be gone."

"If the Yizhong Eighth Route Army launches a general offensive with all its strength, the Yingmu Division will definitely not last long."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the other two sweeping troops on the sand table and asked, "What's the situation with them, and how long will it take to kill Chenjiazhuang?"

The deputy chief of staff immediately showed a embarrassed expression, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "The progress is much slower than expected."

"There are at least two regiments of the Eighth Route Army blocking them head-on."

"The Eighth Route Army built tunnels in all the villages that the mopping-up troops passed along the way."

"They rely on tunnels and favorable terrain to block the attack layer by layer. Even if a blocking position only lasts for two hours, the reinforcements will not be able to reach Chenjiazhuang until tomorrow afternoon."

"I'm worried that the Sakuragi Division may not be able to last even tonight."

"Sir, you asked the Baoding garrison to assemble an infantry regiment, ready to attack at any time..."

"Do you want them to rush to reinforce Chenjiazhuang..."

"Use transport vehicles to send them to the edge of the Yizhong base first, and then rush to reinforce Chenjiazhuang."

"As long as there are no accidents along the way, we will definitely be able to reach Chenjiazhuang before four o'clock in the morning tonight."

"If the Sakuragi Division doesn't hold out until then, the Eighth Route Army's participating troops will suffer heavy casualties in the decisive battle and will be very exhausted."

"The reinforcements take advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack. Not only will they be caught off guard, but they may also turn defeat into victory and hold them back."

"Wait until the mopping-up troops on the left and right are in place, and then gather and wipe them out together to avenge the Sakuragi Division."

Neiji Okamura did not deny his thoughts, and replied very seriously: "This alliance is indeed prepared for the Sakuragi Division."

"But now is not the time to strike."

"We must wait until the intelligence department has accurate information, find out the real strength of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, and confirm that there are really no hidden troops on the front line before they can set off."

"Otherwise, a light-armed infantry regiment could easily be swallowed up by the Eighth Route Army."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

The person in charge of intelligence walked up to Neiji Okamura with his head down, and with his head down, he was very embarrassed to report: "Your Excellency, Commander, the humble job has been investigated."

"Some time ago, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops entered the Yizhong base in companies."

"Because the enemy's troops are too small and too scattered, and the staff officers who handle the information are different people, they didn't pay attention to it, and it was all handled as ordinary intelligence."

"According to statistics: during this period, a total of five regiments and the Eighth Route Army entered the Yizhong base area."

"Including the five assistant regiments already in the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, there are a total of ten main regiments. Our sweeping plan missed five regiments, which led to the heavy siege of the Sakuragi Division."

Surprisingly, Neiji Okamura did not get angry, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

The deputy chief of staff laughed unexpectedly, looked at Neiji Okamura and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we are right..."

"The latest battle report from the front line shows that the left and right mopping up troops were blocked by two regiments of the Eighth Route Army."

"The Yingmu Division was besieged by the Eighth Route Army of the Five Regiments, plus one main regiment defending Chenjiazhuang, exactly ten regiments."

"It is exactly the same as the data provided by the intelligence agency. There will definitely be no mistakes this time."

Neiji Okamura's closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at the person in charge of intelligence and asked seriously: "Is there any problem with the intelligence this time?"

"A low-ranking officer dares to issue a military order..." the intelligence officer bit the bullet and issued a military order.
