The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Well done..." the deputy commander-in-chief sighed while watching.

After reading it twice, he handed the telegram to the chief of staff, who had long been impatient. Then he strode to the table, found the map of the battle in the wing, and said with a serious face.

"After this battle, Neiji Okamura will not even think about launching a third major sweep within half a year."

"The Yizhong base will usher in at least half a year of recovery and rapid development."

"When Okamura Ningji wants to sweep the Yizhong base again, he will find that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army at that time is really a giant, and he can't move it easily if he wants to."

The chief of staff was also very happy when he first read the telegram, but he couldn't laugh after reading it.

He introduced to the deputy commander: "It is true that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong wiped out a lot of Kwantung Army, but they also paid a huge price themselves."

"Including reinforcements, the ten regiments have a total of nearly 2 troops participating in the battle."

"After this battle, the 2 people were directly reduced to more than 8000 people, and more than half of them were lost. On average, there are less than 1000 people left in each regiment."

"Minus the artillery, cavalry, and baggage soldiers..."

"The troops that can really fight are only about 700 people."

"Give them three or four months and it will be difficult to recover their strength."

"If Ningji Okamura takes the initiative and mobilizes troops from other places to continue sweeping the Yizhong base and fight Li Yunlong and the others to the end, their remaining troops will not last long."

It's not that the deputy commander didn't see the casualties of the troops.

The reason why he didn't mention it was because he believed that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army could make up for the battle damage in a short period of time, so that the troops could recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

As for whether Okamura Ningji will be ruthless and once again mobilize troops to sweep the Yizhong base.

The other Eighth Route Army active in North China were not vegetarian either.

After Ningji Okamura seconded [-] Kwantung Army elites to go south, the deputy commander-in-chief has been preventing them from harming other bases in North China after they have finished fighting in the wings.

During this period of time, I have been reminding other bases to stand ready, raise supplies and equip ammunition, and be ready for anti-mopping up at any time.

Now that the [-] Kwantung Army elites have been severely injured by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, there is no way to threaten the other Eighth Route Army in North China.

However, the materials and ammunition prepared in each base area cannot be wasted.

The deputy commander-in-chief planned to take advantage of Neiji Okamura's rush to finish the sweep of Yizhong, and had no time to take into account the opportunities on other battlefields, so that other base areas would take the initiative to attack and take another piece of meat from the North China Front Army, further exacerbating Neiji Okamura's losses.

In this way, even if Okamura Ningji wanted to mobilize troops to sweep the Yizhong base, he would have no troops to use.

He waved his hand, expressed his thoughts directly to the chief of staff, and ordered.

"Call Kong Jie and the others immediately."

"The good news has been received, and they are required to replenish the battle damage immediately and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"The five main regiments in the reinforcement wing will return to the establishment as soon as possible."

"All ministries in North China will launch a large-scale counterattack in the near future. They don't need to participate in the war, but at least they must be prepared."

"Send another encrypted telegram to Kong Jie."

"After this battle, the North China Front Army will be in a state of shortage of troops for a long time in the future, and the troops in the Pingjin area will become less and less. Their northward raid can start planning..."

Only the deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff knew about this operation in the entire headquarters.

No one knows better than them the huge benefits and influence that a successful operation may bring to the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing how confident the deputy commander said, he seemed to be full of confidence in this operation. The eyes of the chief of staff also lit up, and he said expectantly: "If this raid is really successful, the Japanese North China Front Army will be completely defeated by our Eighth Route Army." Press it down, and you will never recover from it, and you will never get up again.”

At the Provisional Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, Chief of Staff Liu Sen is reporting the harvest on the battlefield with a smile on his face.

"Comrades, according to statistics, our army seized a total of 12 large-caliber heavy artillery, 19 field artillery, 28 mountain artillery, 14 infantry artillery, 116 mortars, and 8 rapid-fire artillery during this anti-sweep... 197 guns of various calibers."

"The armored platoon of the Shunping Garrison Regiment has also collected 4 tanks that can be put into battle immediately in various battlefields, and [-] intact armored vehicles."

"Although the remaining tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, after evaluation: at least 12 tanks can be repaired and continued to be used."

"Many of the destroyed heavy artillery, mountain artillery, mortars, and rapid-fire guns can be repaired."

"Also seized 109 heavy machine guns, 376 light machine guns, and more than 1 rifles."

"The remaining rifles were all destroyed in the battle. The total number exceeds [-]. It will definitely be no problem to repair [-]% to [-]%..."

It took Liu Sen a full 10 minutes to read all the statistical lists in his hand.

More than a dozen regiment leaders and political commissars were overjoyed to hear this, and silently calculated how much equipment and ammunition they could share in their hearts.

As the temporary commander-in-chief, Kong Jie did his part to stand up: "Comrades..."

"We were able to severely damage the elite of the Kwantung Army and wipe out more than 2 Kwantung Army in this sweep. It is inseparable from every comrade here, especially the various troops who were ordered to reinforce our base in the wing."

"To express my gratitude, I discussed with Commander Li and decided to allocate six mountain artillery, two infantry artillery, twelve mortars, twelve heavy machine guns, and 36 light machine guns to each main regiment of the reinforcements. , fifteen hundred rifles."

"The remaining weapons and equipment are left to supplement the participating troops in the wings."

"I don't know if everyone is satisfied..."

"Satisfied... must be satisfied..." Li Zhi, the head of the 26th regiment, stood up from his chair.

Staring at Kong Jie with bright eyes, he said, "In addition to winning the Yizhong Base to replenish our equipment and ammunition, I will be able to set up a regiment directly under the artillery company when I go back..."

"No, if the infantry artillery in the regiment is also included, it will be no problem to form a regiment directly under the artillery battalion."

"All mortars are equipped to the battalion, and the mortar company directly under the battalion is established."

"Heavy machine guns and grenade grenades are distributed to the company, and the company is established directly under the firepower platoon."

"Each infantry platoon can also set up a machine gun squad equipped with two light machine guns."

"The total strength of the army can be expanded to at least 4000 people, which is stronger than the firepower of a brigade of many troops."

"If this is not satisfactory, it is too greedy."

"Captain Kong, when will you distribute these equipment to me?"

"The base area cannot be without troops for a long time... I want to return to the base area as soon as possible, recruit new soldiers, expand the army, and restore strength."

Kong Jie replied with a smile: "Everyone can get the equipment after the meeting..."

"Supporting ammunition, as long as you have the ability, you can take as much as you want..."

Seeing the leaders and political commissars of the reinforcements leaving the meeting room with red faces, Li Yunlong's heart was bleeding.

His idea was to equip each regiment with two battalions and an artillery company. As a result, Kong Jie waved his hand and not only doubled the number of rifles, but also sent each regiment a mountain artillery company.

A total of thirty mountain cannons and fifteen infantry cannons were gone in the blink of an eye. Li Yunlong's heartache was all fake.

For this reason, he quarreled with Kong Jie and felt that Kong Jie was too stupid to be so generous.
