The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 970
Japanese Baoding Garrison Headquarters.

Okamura Neji was furious in the room. He smashed several teacups on the table, but he still didn't vent his anger.

As soon as he saw the good news he put on the table, he was so angry that he couldn't help but curse again.

"Bageya Road, who allowed them to make their own decisions and launch attacks without authorization..."

"The headquarters had a good counterattack plan, but it was discovered by the Eighth Route Army because they exposed the target in advance."

"Originally, in this counterattack, we were able to kill at least three regiments of the Eighth Route Army at once, but in the end, we only severely damaged one regiment of the Eighth Route Army. They actually had the nerve to report the victory to the headquarters and take credit. How can they be so shameless? It's a good thing that I didn't punish them. .”

The deputy chief of staff stood nearby and did not dare to answer. After a long time, he finally said bravely: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"This opportunity must not be missed..."

"The battle report also said: The Eighth Route Army had just returned to the base after a victorious battle, and the opponent was right in front of them. It would be a pity not to fight."

"In any case, they fought a great victory, wiping out more than 1000 Eighth Route Army troops and suffering less than 400 casualties."

"If we don't express something, it will be too cold for the hearts of the troops participating in the war."

"What does it mean?" Okamura Neji asked angrily.

"The troops disobeyed military orders and launched an attack in advance without authorization. They are still justified."

"No matter how victorious the battle is, disobedience is disobedience and must not be confused."

"Isn't it just a fighter plane?"

"If they carry out the order and lead their troops to lurk on the battlefield and stand still, the local Eighth Route Army will not know of their existence. If they should attack our stronghold, they should continue to attack because there will be no fighter planes."

"Perhaps the Eighth Route Army that went out to destroy them at that time might be more than we are now."

"Now that they have exposed their target in advance, the Eighth Route Army must be on guard. It will be difficult for the other two brigades to return to the rear to find fighter planes."

"If the three brigades strictly implement the headquarters' counterattack plan and launch attacks on the same night, we can win at least three battles."

"Now we can only win one battle."

"How do you want me to reward them..."

The more Okamura Neiji spoke, the angrier he became, while the deputy chief of staff fell into deep thought and did not dare to intercede for the troops participating in the war.

In the highly disciplined Japanese army, disobeying military orders is a serious crime.

Many commanders are most taboo about this matter, and Okamura Neji is no exception.

This fighting force obviously hit the commander's gun. If he didn't understand the look and continued to speak for them, he might end up in Yuchi.

He immediately followed Okamura Neji's idea and suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"I recommend punishing the team leader and deputy captain, and rewarding all officers and soldiers below the squadron level in the participating troops."

"The officers and soldiers below are just obeying orders. The responsibility for disobeying military orders cannot be traced to them."

"Just punishing the team leader and deputy captain is enough."

After hearing this, Okamura Neji's face gradually became much better. After thinking about it for a while, he began to give orders: "This is a good suggestion..."

"Just do what you want."

"Contact the return troops immediately."

"Now that the Eighth Route Army has become vigilant, there is no need to make a surprise attack. They might even be killed by them."

"Let them return to the rear with great fanfare..." "Inform and order the frontline mopping up troops to speed up the iron wall encirclement. One regiment is still too few to return to the rear. At least three regiments are needed to make the Eighth Route Army have any concerns."

"We must mobilize two more main units from the front line as soon as possible."

"But it must not affect the security of the blockade."

"No matter how the troops are deployed, the distance between the regiments on the blockade line cannot exceed ten kilometers."

The Eighth Route Army Front Enemy Headquarters.

The chief of staff hurried back to the deputy commander-in-chief, holding several telegrams and intelligence in his hand.

"Chief, the Sixth Military Division of Yi Zhong has found out..."

"The further Neji Okamura's iron wall encirclement extends to the Sixth Division base, the shorter the blockade is and the fewer troops are needed."

"The troops that Okamura Neiji returns to support the rear area are drawn from the blockade line. There is a total of one reinforced unit."

"After emergency reconnaissance and search in various base areas, we successfully found two other reinforced brigades of the return troops. We have arranged for troops to closely monitor their every move. The surprise incident that occurred in the Third Army Division in the Wing will definitely not happen again."

The deputy commander quickly read the telegram and intelligence handed over by the chief of staff, and then asked the chief of staff: "Since Kong Jie and others have telegrams coming later, we will ignore the issue of the Sixth Army Division in the Wing."

"Now we focus on the counterattack we launched in the Japanese rear area."

"The three reinforced brigades returning to support may seem like a lot, but they can only threaten three of our base areas. The battlefield advantages of other base areas are still in our hands."

"As long as the second batch of reinforcements mobilized by Okamura Ningji from the front line of the Sixth Army Division of the Wings does not set off, our counterattack against the Japanese rear area will continue."

The chief of staff nodded and said, "I think so too."

"There are more than a dozen base areas participating in the counterattack this time. Each base area arranges a brigade to return support. Okamura Neiji will have to mobilize at least four main units from the front line to be enough."

"He also wanted to ensure that there would be no accidents in the iron wall encirclement on the front line of the Sixth Army Division in the Wing. He could only wait for the blockade to be shortened by ten kilometers before deploying a regiment. It would take at least 20 days to mobilize the remaining three regiments. .”

"Such a long period of time is enough for us to do a lot of things and fight a lot of battles."

"Even if you kill a hundred little Japs in one battle, if you add up, you can kill thousands of Japs in dozens of battles."

"Even if the return troops sent by Neji Okamura arrive at various bases, they will just make up for the losses of the local Japanese and puppet troops. Maybe the battlefield advantage will still be in our hands."

"If Okamura Neji is forced by us, regardless of the safety of the iron wall, and dispatches the main force to support the rear area in advance, maybe Kong Jie and the others can find some loopholes and directly launch a fatal counterattack for Okamura Neji."

The deputy commander suddenly reminded: "But there is a prerequisite."

"We must keep track of the movement and strength of the Japanese returning troops to prevent them from launching another surprise attack on us."

The chief of staff understood the hidden meaning of the deputy commander's words as soon as he heard it, and immediately said: "Don't worry, chief..."

"This time I will definitely ask the intelligence department and frontline scouts to keep a close eye on the little Japanese who participated in the iron wall siege and not let go of any clues."

"At the same time, let the front-line participating troops of the Sixth Army Division of Yizhong monitor the Japanese army together to ensure that none of their troop movements can escape our eyes."

The deputy commander waved his hand and said: "Then it'll be fine."

"When Kong Jie and the others find a way to break the Japanese army's iron wall siege, we will have a complete victory in this counter-mopping operation."
