The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 966 Li Yunlong: Xiao Huang, it’s your turn again (first update)
"After the artillery has been transferred, it will be the turn of the light and heavy machine guns and mortars next!" Deputy Commander-in-Chief Leng Buding said.

The chief of staff did not react for a moment and quickly asked: "Chief..."

"Did you receive any news..."

The deputy commander raised the victory report in his hand: "It can be seen from this victory report."

"Ningji Okamura suffered a big loss at the hands of the thunder cannons and cavalry in the Sixth Army Division. He will definitely find a way to counterattack..."

"Mortars are the best weapon against thunder cannons..."

"Light and heavy machine guns are powerful weapons against cavalry."

"Ningji Okamura didn't want to stumble on the same problem twice, so he could only find a way to equip the frontline troops with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars."

"Although the Japanese army in North China has some arsenals scattered across various places, it is definitely not enough..."

"Especially heavy machine guns and mortars..."

"Not only are we in need, but the little devils are also in need..."

"But in order not to give up half-way with his iron wall encirclement, we can only find a way to mobilize troops from various places!"

"After the Japanese army has fewer light and heavy machine guns and mortars, we will definitely have less pressure to fight them again."

"Maybe we can take the opportunity to capture several county towns, connect some small base areas together to form a large base area, compress the Japanese army into county towns and some important strongholds, and completely isolate them!"

The chief of staff believed [-]% to [-]% of the time. He looked at the good news from Kong Jie and said with bright eyes: "If this happens..."

"I want to see how that old devil Okamura Neji chooses!"

"In the end, they insisted on encircling and suppressing the Sixth Army Division in the Wing Center regardless of the stability of the rear."

"It's better to suspend the mopping up operations and deploy troops to stabilize our rear area..."

The deputy commander immediately answered: "No matter what Neji Okamura chooses, we can move..."

"Immediately give underground orders to each base: let them find fighter planes on their own, take the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops around the base area, consume their troops, compress the living space of the Japanese and puppet troops, and expand the base area..."

"If Neji Okamura continues to draw light and heavy machine guns and mortars from various Japanese units in North China, our troops will immediately step up the offensive and take advantage of the opportunity to reduce the pressure on the Sixth Army Division for counter-mopping up!"

…………

At the Sixth Army Division Headquarters in the Yi Zhong Base, Duan Peng, who was rarely seen, suddenly rushed in.

While saluting everyone, he reported: "Chief..."

"We just found out a piece of news..."

"Okamura Neiji didn't know where he mobilized a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars to supplement the blockade garrison, especially the little devils who stayed at each station. The number of light and heavy machine guns they equipped was at least three times more than before."

Kong Jie answered with a stern face: "I would say that Okamura Neji is very resourceful and will definitely find a way to fix the loopholes as soon as possible and not give us the chance to use the same method to attack them again."

"Light and heavy machine guns are very effective against cavalry..."

"Mortars can crush our army's flying thunder cannons on the battlefield..."

"In this case, our two unique tricks to deal with the Japanese will be useless."

Li Yunlong took a breath and said, "Fortunately, you don't agree to raid the front line again tonight."

"If you listen to me and continue to use thunder cannons and cavalry to raid the Japanese army station tonight, you will definitely be beaten to death in front of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and mortars."

"Little yellow..."

"It's your time to make a difference again."

"When Okamura Neiji sees his moves, he will immediately fix the loopholes as soon as we take action, and he will not give us the chance to take action again."

"We must think of new tactics to deal with them." Huang Yu nodded: "The deputy commander is right."

"Since Okamura Neji is waiting for us to make a move, so that he can easily take advantage of us, then we will continue to use new moves to make them hard to guard against."

"But new recruits are not something you can just have."

"We have won several battles in a row during this period. Although we have won and lost, in general we have won."

"The new recruits in the team have also taken turns on the battlefield. They just need time to train and digest the results of the battle."

"I think we should rest for about ten days first. Anyway, it will take the little devils five or six days to advance ten kilometers. The base area still has a lot of time to fight with them."

"Perhaps if both sides endure it, two loopholes will appear in the enemy's iron wall..."

"Do not……"

"If there's a vulnerability, we can seize the opportunity to hit them hard."

Li Yunlong also knew that fighter planes were not easy to obtain, and he also knew that a good tactical strategy could not be obtained just by thinking about it, so he nodded immediately.

"The proportion of new recruits in the independent brigade exceeds [-]%. It really takes time for them to digest their gains on the battlefield."

"I agree that the troops will rest temporarily for ten days. After ten days, we will decide how to counterattack Okamura Neji."

Kong Jie has always trusted Huang Yu's decisions unconditionally, even though Huang Yu is only the deputy chief of staff of the military division.

He immediately agreed: "The Sole Brigade also needs time to repair and replenish battle losses."

"Leave the task of training the troops to me and Li Yunlong."

"Xiao Huang has only one mission..."

"Help us keep an eye on the Japanese and puppet troops on the blockade, find loopholes, and find ways to win another battle."

…………

The counterattack order from the deputy commander-in-chief of the third division headquarters in the wing was transmitted here at the same time.

This place is very close to Baoding. When Okamura Neiji transferred weapons from various units of the North China Front, the Japanese and puppet troops here naturally became the main target.

In order to curb the outward expansion of the Third Army Division, the Japanese army stationed more than 5000 Japanese soldiers directly around them, dividing the troops into squadrons and brigades to garrison various strongholds and county towns.

These more than 5000 Japanese soldiers were originally equipped with a mountain artillery brigade, a field artillery squadron, and three infantry artillery squads, a total of 22 direct-fire artillery pieces.

After Okamura Neiji took away most of the direct-fire artillery, the entire army was left with only six infantry cannons and four mountain cannons.

In terms of pure heavy firepower, the number of mountain artillery and infantry artillery equipped by the Third Army Division is already comparable to that of the Japanese.

In addition, the Third Army Division also has a large number of flying thunder cannons to support the attack. If there are no aircraft to cause trouble, it may be possible to overwhelm the Japanese artillery units.

As a result, Okamura Neiji took away twenty mortars, twenty heavy machine guns, and forty light machine guns from the local garrison last night.

The little Japanese reinforcement squadron that used to be active around the base area can still be divided into three mortars, three heavy machine guns, and if they are lucky, they can also be divided into two infantry cannons or two mountain cannons.

Today, these reinforced squadrons only have two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and even two light machine guns missing.

Some not-so-important strongholds directly removed all mortars and heavy machine guns, leaving only one light infantry squadron.

It’s not that the Third Army Division has no ability to attack tough targets, it’s just that they have very little ammunition in reserve. They are afraid of provoking a war and then launching a surprise attack into a stalemate. In the end, they will be the ones who suffer.

Don't worry about it now.
