The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The battlefield is located in the Eighth Route Army base area. Once the gunshots are fired, it won't take long for other Eighth Route Army troops to come over.

The Japanese want to pull out the enemy's teeth, severely inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army in the pocket formation, and retreat unscathed. They must fight quickly.

Anyone who goes a little slower will be sworn by the Eighth Route Army to die here.

Bayonet fighting was the only way for the Japanese army to severely injure their opponents in a short period of time. Although the casualties for such a large unit were a bit high, the captain could only fight like this.

The Eighth Route Army Front Enemy Headquarters.

The chief of staff suddenly ran to Commander Fu. The smile that had lasted for several days disappeared at this moment. When he saw the deputy commander, he reported anxiously.

"Chief..."

"We underestimated Okamura Neiji and the Japanese North China Front."

"I didn't expect this old devil to hide his backhand and severely damage one of our main groups."

"This is the telegram just sent from the Third Army Division in the Wing."

"One of their main regiments was ambushed by a reinforced brigade of the Japanese army on its way back to the base area, resulting in more than 400 casualties. If a unit operating nearby had not reached the battlefield in time, the casualties would have increased by several hundred people."

"Only when we were cleaning the battlefield after the war, we discovered that the Japanese troops who ambushed us were all from the front line of the Sixth Army Division in the Wing."

"Okamura Neiji is so cunning. He managed to escape the eyes of all our scouts and intelligence personnel and move more than 1000 troops away from the front line to support the rear."

The deputy commander's face was more solemn than the chief of staff expected, and he frowned and asked, "Ningji Okamura is the commander of the Japanese North China Front."

"Not the division commander and brigade commander below."

"Do you think he will only send a reinforced brigade to support the rear after he made such a big fuss and severely damaged one of our main groups?"

The chief of staff suddenly became nervous: "You mean there are other little Japs coming back to support the rear."

"There must be..." the deputy commander replied firmly.

"The Third Wing Army Division is very close to Baoding. If Okamura Neji sends several troops back to support the rear at the same time, this troop will definitely be the first to fight us."

"As expected, other base areas will be attacked next."

"Immediately send a telegram to remind all the base areas we can contact, asking them to strengthen their alerts, send more scouts, mobilize all local armed forces, and set up dragnets around the base areas. We must find Japanese reinforcements and never allow the same raid to happen again. occur."

"I'm going to send a telegram now..." After hearing this, the chief of staff was about to give the order.

Before anyone could reach the headquarters, the deputy commander called him back: "Wait a minute..."

"By the way, forward the telegram from the Third Army Division in the Wing to Kong Jie and the others."

"The Japanese army transferred a large number of troops from the front line to support their rear areas, but we didn't notice it. As Neji Okamura's opponents, they fought with the Japanese on the front line every day, and they didn't notice it. That's really inappropriate."

"If we had received the news in advance, this main group in the third division would never have been hit hard."

"Let Kong Jie and the others investigate and fill in the gaps and find out how Okamura Neji transferred these Japanese troops away from the front line."

…………

Wing Central Sixth Army Division Headquarters.

Huang Yu was studying the latest battlefield information that Duan Peng had just sent back, hoping to find one or two flaws to break Neji Okamura's iron wall siege of the base area.

The result was very disappointing.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the front line were more cautious than expected. No matter how provocative the assault company and several garrison regiments were, the Japanese and puppet troops always adhered to the blockade and counterattacked with artillery and light and heavy machine guns, but did not attack. "Deputy Chief of Staff... Urgent call from headquarters..." An exclamation brought Huang Yu out of his thoughts and back to reality.

As a result, the telegram read ten lines at a time. After leaving, his eyebrows twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan" and he asked with a look of disbelief: "How is this possible..."

"Our troops are not blind. Thousands of little Japs have been transferred away from the front line. No matter how hidden Okamura Neji is, he cannot be silent. How could our front line troops not be aware of it at all..."

"What's more, Duan Peng is also on the front line."

"A major military operation like Okamura Neji's will never be hidden from his eyes..."

After finishing speaking, he took out the intelligence sent back by Duan Peng again and read it one by one, but still found nothing.

"Find out the information Duan Peng sent back a few days ago. I want to read it again. Quick..." Huang Yu suddenly thought that the Japanese who appeared in the third division of the wing were transferred by Okamura Neji a few days ago, and said Maybe the accident was hidden at that time, but I didn't notice it, so I quickly ordered it.

Soon Huang Yu saw the clues.

He turned to the combat staff aside and asked: "How many reinforced units did Neji Okamura gather at the beginning to encircle and suppress us?"

"Nine reinforced wings..." the combat staff replied blurtly.

"Each regiment is ten kilometers apart from each other..."

"It's the same now...it seems like there's no problem..."

"That's the problem..." Huang Yu slapped a piece of information on the table and answered firmly while looking at the map.

"When the Japs first started attacking, the base area that needed to be encircled was very large, so nine mopping up troops were needed..."

"The circle they are surrounding us with is getting smaller and smaller now, but the distance between the alliances has not narrowed. Don't you think it's abnormal?"

"Yup……"

The combat staff officer immediately showed an expression of realization.

"The encirclement has become smaller. If the number of Japanese and puppet troops on the front line has not decreased, then the distance between their formations will definitely shrink."

"But this distance has not narrowed, which shows that there are fewer Japanese and puppet troops besieging us on the front line."

"The frontline troops are only targeting the Japanese and puppet troops to mop up troops along one route. As long as these Japanese and puppet troops do not move, they will not notice anything is wrong."

As he spoke, he picked up the telegram that Huang Yu slapped on the table. After reading it, he showed a regretful expression: "The little devils on the front line really lost a reinforcement unit. No wonder the distance between their units has not changed."

"Please punish the deputy chief of staff. We didn't even notice that such a big thing happened on the front line. We were so derelict in our duties..."

"I was wrong too..." Huang Yu replied calmly.

"Every piece of information from the front line has been passed through my hands, and I haven't found anything wrong."

"Okamura Neji is indeed wily and scheming."

“When the troops were attacking, a certain strengthened wing that was not under our attention was left standing still. This wing unknowingly withdrew from the battle and disappeared from our sight.

"Good calculation."

"But this also gives us a good opportunity to break the iron wall."

"Immediately send a telegram to the commander and deputy commander and ask them to come to the headquarters as soon as possible. I have thought of a good way to deal with Okamura Neji."

"Another telegram to the chief: We have found out how Okamura Neji mobilized troops from the front line and are studying a solution. There will be a detailed report explaining this matter before dark." (End of this chapter)
