The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 844 Gangcun Ningci Is Dumbfounded (Second)
The captain did not relax his nerves after giving the order.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and the enemy on the battlefield is still widening. In case there is another accident in the next breakout operation, the probability of a successful breakout with the light infantry regiment alone is almost zero.

More than 1000 soldiers under his command are still counting on him to survive. He can't pin all his hopes on the method of breaking out just now, he must think of a countermeasure in advance, in case of emergency.

After thinking for a while, he continued to order: "All the artillery units under the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong attack us here, and the infantry of three regiments encircle us at the same time."

"There are a total of six regiments of the Eighth Route Army active in Chenjiazhuang. After subtracting them, there are only three light infantry regiments left in the Eighth Route Army besieging the Yingmu Division. The pressure has dropped sharply."

"In terms of the distribution of troops of the Eighth Route Army, this battle is more like a round of reinforcements."

"Using the Sakuragi Division as a bait to attract us to reinforce Chenjiazhuang. The Yizhong Eighth Route Army will gather all the main forces to set up an ambush halfway and wipe us out!"

"Immediately report the attack on the reinforcements to the front enemy headquarters with my judgment just now."

"Your Excellency, Commander, please find a way to contact the head of Division Sakuragi."

"At least half of the troops from the Eight Routes besieging them should be mobilized. Please launch a counterattack immediately, cut a bloody road, and reinforce us by marching in a hurry."

"We will continue to break out and reinforce Chenjiazhuang. Even if we can't break out, we must hold back the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us and buy time for the Sakuragi Division to break out."

"Any one of our two troops can successfully break through the siege, and they can join forces to defeat the Eighth Route Army besieging us."

The alliance captain had a very good idea, but he overlooked one thing.

Since the main force of the Eighth Route Army is besieging the reinforcements here, the sound of firefights from Chenjiazhuang must be fake.

Whether the Sakuragi Division he wanted to reinforce existed or not became a question.

At this moment, he only wanted to break through quickly, so he forgot about this problem.

…………

The Japanese Army Baoding Garrison Headquarters, the deputy chief of staff hurriedly ran to Gangcun Ningji again.

It's been less than an hour since the last time I came here.

The deputy chief of staff at that time smiled and brought the good news that the Sakuragi Division was still fighting.

This time the news he brought didn't seem to be very good, and his face was very ugly from the moment he entered the door.

Before he could stand still, he reported with a calm face: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The reinforcements urgently call..."

"They were attacked by artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army at a distance of five kilometers from Chenjiazhuang..."

"The telegram said that there were at most sixty mountain cannons attacking them, and the artillery shells fired by the Eighth Route Army seemed to have eyes, chasing them and exploding."

"I wanted to launch a counterattack to destroy the artillery of the Eighth Route Army who attacked them, and take the opportunity to pull out the tiger teeth of the Eighth Route Army in the wings."

"As a result, the Eighth Route Army deployed three main regiments there to besiege them."

"The counterattack troops fought an encounter with the Eighth Route Army's ambush troops and suffered heavy losses."

"They are preparing to gather troops to break out in the direction of Chenjiazhuang."

"Please ask the Sakuragi Division to take the initiative to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army that besieged them and meet them."

"The two parties will meet to determine the next course of action."

Neji Gangmura frowned and analyzed: "No...there have been problems in the past few years..."

"Quickly get the last telegram from the reinforcements...quick..."

Ningji Gangmura walked towards the sand table while giving the order, very anxious.

The combat staff officer reacted very quickly, and just as Ningji Gangmura walked to the sand table, the last battle report was handed to him right in front of him.

Gangcun Ningci glanced at ten lines and read them in a few seconds.

"Snapped……"

Then he slapped the telegram on the frame of the sand table, and said with affirmation: "I said that there have been problems in the past few years...it really is."

"The reinforcements said in the last telegram: The sound of firefighting from Chenjiazhuang was very intense. The scale of the battle was no less than 1 people, and a large number of mountain artillery and heavy artillery participated in the battle."

"Sakuragi Division's strength is limited, and heavy weapons have also suffered heavy losses in previous battles."

"The Eighth Route Army should have fired most of the sound of firefights heard by the reinforcements."

"There are at least seven thousand and eighth Route Army elites participating in the battle, including a large number of artillery units."

"Now they sent a telegram to tell us that they were attacked by the Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and more than 60 mountain artillery..."

"If all these troops and artillery came from Chenjiazhuang, then the firefight they heard half an hour ago was fake."

"The Eighth Route Army deliberately staged it as bait."

The deputy chief of staff answered immediately: "The Eighth Route Army wants to encircle a point for reinforcements and eat up our reinforcements!"

Neiji Okamura continued to shake his head: "It's not as simple as you think."

"If the Yingmu Division is still fighting in Chenjiazhuang, do you think the Eighth Route Army would dare to gather so many troops and artillery to help?"

"Mr. Yingmu is not a fool, would he allow the Eighth Route Army to act under his nose?"

The deputy chief of staff seemed to have figured it out a little bit, and then a shocked expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Staring at Neiji Komura with hesitation on his face, he asked back: "You mean that an accident has happened to the Sakuragi Division!"

Neji Gangcun replied with a sullen face: "Only when the Sakuragi Division has an accident, the Eighth Route Army can perform in Chenjiazhuang with a small force, so that the reinforcements believe that the Sakuragi Division is still alive and well."

What Neji Okamura said was well-founded, and the deputy chief of staff couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he could only accept this cruel fact.

Suddenly thinking of the breakout changes mentioned by the reinforcements in the telegram, his face turned pale, and he immediately went to Gangcun Ningci.

"The reinforcements want to continue to break out in the direction of Chenjiazhuang..."

"I also want the Sakuragi Division to break out of the encirclement and meet them."

"If an accident has happened to the Yingmu Division, continuing to break through the siege of Chenjiazhuang is tantamount to death."

"We should immediately remind the reinforcements to break out in the opposite direction and never go to Chenjiazhuang."

"We also need to contact the left and right mopping forces..."

"Turn around immediately and evacuate the base of the Eighth Route Army, the faster the better."

"The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has foreign aid, and the strongest mopping up troops in the middle are no match. If the mopping up troops on the left and right are targeted by them again, they will lose a layer of skin if they don't die..."

Gangcun Ningci immediately ordered: "The reinforcements sent by Baoding will immediately turn around and break out in the direction of Baoding. The speed must be fast, and they will run away when they break out of the encirclement."

"Throw away all the equipment and materials that affect the speed of the march, and you must not be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army again."

"Without the Sakuragi Division, they are the weakest of the three troops we operate in the Yizhong base."

"Pick the persimmons softly. The Eighth Route Army has just experienced a big battle, and the troops are very tired. If they want to fight another battle of annihilation, they will probably follow them."

"The fact that they were besieged by sixty mountain artillery pieces and three regiments of the Eighth Route Army is the best proof."

"The mopping forces on the left and right must retreat quickly, and they must not entangle with the Eighth Route Army on the battlefield."
