The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 995
"Find another way..." Okamura Neji stared at the sand table and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"This move of the Eighth Route Army takes seconds..."

"In the past, when they set up a blockade, they only attacked the Japanese and did not destroy the blockade walls or trenches."

"We thought we had a large number of ordinary people in our hands. If they destroyed a section of the blockade wall and blockade ditch, we could repair a section."

"This time is different..."

"They destroyed two of them. They blew up the blockade wall and the blockade ditch completely. There is no way to repair them. It is better to rebuild them more realistically."

"But our troops are limited. If we guard the frontline blockade, we will not have the troops to protect the people from the frontline and repair the two outermost defense lines of the iron wall."

"There were only five blockades in the iron wall, and they destroyed two of them in one night."

"If we continue to bomb at this rate, it won't take long for the remaining blockades of the iron wall to be destroyed, leaving only a heavily defended forward blockade."

"That's when it's dangerous."

"As you just said, not only the blockade may be destroyed at any time, but our troops stationed on the blockade will also be attacked from the front and back by the Eighth Route Army at any time, causing heavy losses."

After hearing this, the deputy chief of staff reminded the chief of staff: "Your Excellency, commander..."

"The Eighth Route Army lurking outside the iron wall is too dangerous, and we must not let them continue to act like this."

"Now that their whereabouts are exposed, it is a good opportunity for us to gather and annihilate them."

"I suggest immediately deploying troops from the front to surround and annihilate them."

Okamura Neiji frowned and asked, "What about the troops left behind in the Eighth Route Army base area?"

"Do you think they will watch the breakout troops being wiped out by us?"

"Based on the analysis of battle reports and reconnaissance results, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a total of nine reinforced battalions to launch an attack tonight."

"That's the strength of an entire reinforced brigade."

"Even without heavy weapons, we would have to mobilize more than 1 people to have a chance to encircle and annihilate them."

"Do you think the remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army will allow us to easily mobilize troops from the front line?"

"I dare say that as soon as we mobilize our troops, the remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army will launch an attack on the blockade line and seize the opportunity to seize one or two of our positions and further consume our army's strength."

"What about secretly deploying troops?" the deputy chief of staff continued to ask.

Okamura Neji's eyes immediately changed when he looked at his subordinates, as if he were looking at an idiot, and he asked angrily.

"What do you think?"

"The Eighth Route Army is not a fool..."

"While we watch their every move, they watch our every move."

"The mobilization of more than 1 troops is not just a few hundred people. Do you think they can hide from the eyes of the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance troops?"

"Moreover……"

"There are only so many troops on the front line, and we can't mobilize troops from other places to reinforce the wing. We can only tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall."

"Once we dispatch heavy troops to encircle and annihilate the Independent Brigade, a fool can guess that there will be fewer troops stationed at the forward blockade."

The deputy chief of staff continued: "Since we can't take the initiative, we will defend passively."

"The Eighth Route Breakout Force took advantage of us tonight, and they will definitely not let it go."

"Battle reports show that each of their assault troops has a reinforced battalion."

"Our troops rely on the blockade wall and the garrison defense line to defend. One reinforced brigade can definitely easily eat up one of their reinforced battalions."

"We can secretly deploy troops to increase the defensive strength of the third blockade."

"Standing guard at the third blockade line, waiting for the Eighth Route breakout troops to fall into the trap."

This time Okamura Neji did not immediately refute.His eyes swept around the sand table, analyzing the feasibility of this method.

After 2 minutes, he suddenly said: "This method is feasible..."

"Deploy troops from the front line, using squadrons as units, to secretly reinforce the third blockade."

"The troops stationed at the fourth blockade must also secretly reinforce the third blockade."

"The third blockade was built unknowingly with copper and iron walls, and the Eighth Route Army's breakout troops were smashed there and bloody."

"Even if you can't eat them, they can still be severely injured."

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Independent Brigade.

After the battle report of the last troops that attacked all the way came here, Li Yunlong's tense nerves sank and relaxed.

The smile on the chief of staff's face became stronger. He took a look at the battle report and began to report: "Brigadier Commander..."

"The total results last night were indeed much greater than we imagined."

"The length of the damaged blockade wall and blockade trench also far exceeded our estimate."

Li Yunlong couldn't wait any longer and asked directly: "Don't talk nonsense to me, I want specific data."

The chief of staff immediately answered: "Let's talk about the results first..."

"The nine-way attack force fought a total of 24 battles and annihilated 5873 Japanese troops. This was the result of identifying the body of the little Japanese. Adding in the lightly and seriously wounded Japanese reinforcements took away when they retreated, the Japanese army's losses last night must have exceeded 6000 people. "

"Three mountain guns, three infantry guns, 27 mortars, 22 heavy machine guns, 176 light machine guns, and 3186 rifles were seized. All other weapons and equipment were destroyed in the battle..."

"We ourselves lost 1698 people in the battle and seriously injured 237 people..."

"There are 6481 people left in the brigade who can continue to fight."

When he said the last words, the chief of staff became visibly depressed.

Although everyone knew that people would die in war, the chief of staff still felt particularly uncomfortable when faced with this long series of bloody data.

In just one night, many familiar faces in the team could no longer be seen.

Li Yunlong suddenly spoke to break the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in the headquarters: "Okay..."

"Now is not the time to be sad."

"If the iron wall siege set up by Okamura Neji is not shattered by us, the crisis facing the base will not be lifted."

"If this continues, the price we have to pay will not be thousands of people, but tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ people."

"It is precisely because of our current sacrifices that it is possible for the base area to turn a corner, and it is possible for dozens of millions of soldiers and civilians to escape the massacre by the Japanese army."

"So in the next battle, no matter how many soldiers the independent brigade sacrifices, we will continue to fight until Neji Okamura retreats."

After saying that, he stared at the chief of staff and continued to ask: "What was Neji Okamura's reaction?"

"We destroyed two blockades at once, and all our efforts in the past half month were instantly wiped out. If I were him, I would be so angry that I wouldn't be able to eat for several days."

"Is there any sign that the Japanese troops on the front line are moving towards us?"

"We have caused such a big disaster. With Okamura Neiji's vengeful character, he will definitely try every means to get revenge, otherwise he will lose the third blockade or even the fourth blockade."

When this question was mentioned, the solemn expression on the chief of staff's face was immediately replaced by doubt. He shook his head and replied: "Commander, I can't understand."

"Not only did the Japanese troops on the front line show no signs of mobilization, Okamura Neji also showed no reaction, as if the two blockades we destroyed didn't matter."

"I don't even know what the hell this old devil is planning."
