The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1061 Let the blood of the Japanese invaders dry
It's just that the smile on the old devil's face didn't last long, and soon froze.

The devil's chief of staff who rushed to the headquarters immediately reported another battle report to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

The casualty data in this battle report is simply shocking.

The actual casualties of the Shanxi Garrison, Udoman Division, and the Sixth Division are frighteningly high, and almost every step forward requires a bloody price.

According to incomplete statistics, it has been nearly two weeks since the May [-]st sweep was officially launched, and the daily battle losses of the Japanese army on the front line are only the confirmed death toll, which is hundreds of people.

Once the Japanese army made too many charges, the battle losses on that day could even exceed a thousand people.

The Japanese officers who commanded the front line commanded with a cold face during the day, but cried in their arms at night. After the corpses of the imperial warriors were contained, the urns needed for cremation were almost not enough.

This almost created the tragic history of the Japanese army's most rapid casualties on the Chinese battlefield since the Sino-Japanese war.

But even with such a huge sacrifice, very few battle results have been achieved, and the loss of technical arms and heavy firepower is particularly serious.

After listening to the chief of staff's report, Yoshio Iwamatsu put away his frozen smile and said angrily, "What are these idiots doing, and why is the battle going on so fiercely?
Also, why didn't they report the specific battle report to His Excellency Commander-in-Chief, why did they conceal the truth?

Is it just for the sake of my own face, for the so-called maintenance of military morale, but in exchange for a lot of sacrifices and blood of the warriors of our empire? "

Why is the battle going on so fiercely?
You must know that even on the frontal battlefield, when fighting against the Central Army of the Chinese army, the imperial troops have never fought so fiercely.

This is the biggest confusion in Yoshio Iwamatsu's heart at this moment.

The devil's chief of staff analyzed the situation: "General, I think that our big raid and the battle with the Eighth Route Army have progressed to this point, and many things have surfaced.

After analysis, it is not difficult to find that today's Eighth Route Army troops are completely different from the beggar-like Eighth Route Army troops with backward equipment and scarce ammunition that we knew a year or two ago.

It was also the big raid launched by our army and the anti-mopping operation launched by the Eighth Route Army, but their strategic defense and counterattack were completely different from those of previous years. "

The devil's chief of staff analyzed the map: "Please look, general, according to the deployment of the commander-in-chief, after our army has blocked and raided the Eighth Route Army base areas in the two major battlefields of Shandong and Shanxi.

According to the past situation, the Eighth Route Army would often avoid the frontal front of our army, try to break through the gaps in our army's encirclement net, and try to escape.

And after the May [-]st sweep was officially launched, the tactics of the Eighth Route Army have obviously changed. They seem to have been dragging and dragging our army to fight, and they have been using the terrain along the way to continuously consume our army's vital strength .

In accordance with the magnetic tactics proposed by His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, our army took advantage of artillery and air force to forcibly captured positions and hills of the Eighth Route Army.

In the face of our army's strong artillery fire and air superiority, the Eighth Route Army will indeed temporarily avoid the edge, but their base areas spanning hundreds or even thousands of miles have sufficient strategic depth and can be discarded to our positions. , There are simply too many mountains to count.

In addition, in less than two years, we have never expected that the Eighth Route Army has built quite solid overall defenses in various base areas.

The positions they built everywhere are almost all specially made concrete structures. Even if our army takes advantage of artillery fire to forcibly capture and destroy them, it is not easy.

Using this method, the Eight Route Army does not even need to consume a single shot or bullet, let alone pay many casualties. It can use these stone and concrete positions to continuously consume our army's artillery fire, dragging our army's sweeping troops to continue to deepen, Invisibly, it greatly aggravated the logistical burden of our army. "

"Especially the Eighth Route Army, they are born and bred in the mountains, and they are especially familiar with the terrain of the mountains. Once night falls, they will send a large number of interspersed troops to the rear of our army to harass and destroy them. This seriously threatens our army. Army rear transport lines.

In serious cases, they only need to spend one night, and they can even burn tens of thousands of catties of food in our army. "

"Once the direction of our army's heavy artillery is avoided, the Eighth Route will use specially built fortifications to deploy a large amount of firepower to block it.

But it didn't look like a blocking battle at all. The Eight Routes deployed a small number of troops, and with the help of powerful firepower, they almost artificially created slaughterhouses one after another.

They don't care about the loss of firepower at all, and the Eight Routes are no longer the three guns and the Eight Routes of the past. They have all kinds of machine guns and artillery.

And those who were ruthlessly slaughtered were the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire! "

"Especially around the battlefields of Licheng, Xiangyuan, Shexian, Liaoxian, and Lucheng. In order for our army to conquer these positions, the corpses of the soldiers who sacrificed every day are piled up, and I am afraid that they can be piled up into a hill."

Speaking of this, the devil's chief of staff sighed deeply: "General, we can't continue to fight like this. If we continue to fight like this, our troops may be wiped out, and the blood of the warriors may be drained!"

After hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu was silent for a long time. After careful observation, he found that the whole body of this old devil who had always been as calm as a mountain was trembling slightly at this moment.

In the end, he breathed a sigh of relief, and dialed the number of the North China Front Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army stationed in Beiping.

……

……

Taihang base area, former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss hasn't had a good rest during this period. Of course, don't get me wrong, it's not because of worry, but more because of excitement.

This game of chess is too big.

He couldn't help but relax his nerves.

The deputy chief of staff and a group of staff members looked at the huge military map in front of them and analyzed the evolution of the battle situation in the entire Shandong, Shanxi, and even northern Shanxi, western Mengxi, and middle Hebei.

He analyzed overall: "In the current situation of the entire battle, the advantage is rapidly being reversed to our army.

Beginning on May 5, the Japanese army mobilized troops on a large scale and advanced to our army's bases in Shanxi, Shandong, and Hebei.

Except for the Devil's First Army originally stationed in Shanxi, and the No.12 Japanese Army stationed in Shandong.

It also includes the Japanese Third Field Division in Shandong, the Japanese Sixth Field Division in Shanxi, and the Kwantung Army's Nishishima Man Division, as well as the Japanese 13th Division advancing in the direction of Jizhong.

According to the highest strategic policy of anti-mopping up formulated by our army this time, one word-delay.

The battle of the various units is going relatively smoothly. In the Taihang base area, our various units have used the terrain along the way and the solid fortifications we have built over the past year to continuously lure the enemy deep.

On the Shandong battlefield, our fraternal troops also used the mountains and devils to carry out guerrilla warfare continuously, holding back the main force of the Japanese army.

The military regions in Central Hebei and Southern Hebei also relied on fully deployed tunnel tactics to drag the Japanese army down step by step, constantly consuming the Japanese army's vital forces and logistical resources.

Including the Taiyue area, the Zhongtiaoshan area, and even the northern Henan area, comrades from various units are supporting the main force and conducting anti-sweeping operations. "

A smile appeared on the face of the deputy chief of staff: "Comrades, it can be said that the situation is getting better and better. If you continue to drag it on, it will soon be the rainy season. Once the rainy season comes, the roads will be muddy. For the mechanized units and logistics units of the Japanese army, this was a disaster.

Sooner or later, we will wait until our army launches a full-scale counter-offensive! "

Then talk about the most outstanding troops in each base area this time.

The deputy chief of staff proposed without hesitation: "Of course the Iron Triangle defense zone created by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei performed the most brilliantly.

Especially before the battle officially started, Comrade Kong Jie proposed it at the meeting.

What to propose?

He pointed out that the anti-sweeping operation we are going to carry out this time is completely different from previous anti-sweeping operations in history.

What we have to do this time is to scare the little devil thoroughly, beat him in pain, until he bleeds out of the little devil, dies, and is completely terrified to the bone.

Only when we completely defeat the devil's elite in one go, can the entire anti-Japanese situation in the enemy's rear be completely stabilized.

This time our Iron Triangle fighters performed very well.

Especially the several battlefields dominated by Licheng, Xiangyuan, Liao County, and She County.

With the least force and the most superior firepower, our soldiers abruptly held back a large number of Japanese troops, which caused a heavy consumption of the Japanese army's vital forces. "

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of the general staff said in high spirits: "Comrades, if the fight continues like this, it is no exaggeration to say that the little devils in the entire North China will probably be wiped out. This protracted war of resistance against Japan, we are afraid that we will soon We are about to see the dawn of victory!"

Then, Brigadier Chen of the 385th Brigade talked about Kong Jie and Li Yunlong leading mobile troops to fight in western Mengxi.

"These two brats gave us another surprise!"

"In these few battles in Mengxi, our mobile troops led by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have completely demonstrated the prestige of our armored troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The anti-Japanese situation in the entire northern Shanxi and western Mengxi areas was completely opened up because of these few battles."

Speaking of this, a cadre then asked: "Speaking of which, after the fighting in western Mengxi, where are Kong Jie and Li Yunlong assigned to?"

The boss smiled and said: "I have received a notice from Yan'an that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have led the remaining mobile troops to report to Yan'an!"

The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "It seems that the comrades in Yan'an can't wait to see the two elite tanks that were able to defeat the Japanese army in a row in the west of Mengxi, our Eighth Route Army's armored force."

Brigadier Chen said: "This is a good thing! Except for the unique terrain in Mengxi, there is basically no chance for our armored troops to flex their muscles on the Shanxi and Shandong battlefields.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and the others thoroughly stabbed the ant's nest in Mengxi again, and sooner or later, this little devil will take revenge severely.

As the elite troops of our Eighth Route Army, the treasure troop, this armored troop, in my opinion, should indeed retreat to the rear as soon as possible, so as to be safe.

In the future, our Eighth Route Army's famous armored troops in the Mengxi area, even if they don't appear on the battlefield, just relying on the prestige of these few battles is enough to deter the Japanese army! "

"What is the most important thing?"

"The most important thing is that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong don't lead the team back, but no one can take my place in the 385 brigade!"

The old Brigadier at the side was not happy when he heard this, he raised his eyes, looked at Brigadier Chen with a smile and said: "I said Fatty Chen, why, without Butcher Zhang, you have to eat hairy pigs?

My 386 brigade lacks everything else, the most important thing is the tiger generals. Without Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, the comrades of my 386 brigade will kill the little devils, and that is still unambiguous! "

Saying that, the generals couldn't help laughing.

But if you think about it carefully, this is really the truth.

Although Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were no longer in the Iron Triangle defense zone, Ding Wei was still there. The old Ding, who was nicknamed Ding Wanwan, had a good time this time.

Commanding three strong troops, he almost caught up with the division commander Niu.

If the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were compared to quagmire, which made it difficult for the Japanese army to move an inch, then the defense area of ​​the Iron Triangle, which opened the door to the Japanese army this time, is simply like an abyss with no bottom at all.

Ding Wei's combat style has always been sharp and bold.

Even in the stage when the Japanese army was in full swing in the early stage and the Iron Triangle troops were mainly defensive, Ding Wei was stunned to direct the fixed position defensive battle into a mobile annihilation battle.

Lure the enemy deep, intersperse and encircle, ambush and annihilate, bloom at multiple points, attack at night, cover with artillery fire...

Various tactics of annihilating the enemy were almost played out under Ding Wei's command.

Back then when the guns were short and the bullets were short, the little devils that Ding Boqiao could beat screamed.

At present, the level of assembly of the troops has been fully developed, and Ding Wei has fought heartily in the battles for prosperity one after another...

After returning to the topic, the cadres discussed the evolution of the subsequent situation.

The deputy chief of staff pointed out: "Currently, the major sectors we have built have firmly restrained the main force of the Japanese army, including the five-city regional sectors such as Licheng and Liao County, Taihang Taiyue, Zhongtiaoshan and other base sectors. There are battlefields in various places such as Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Northern Hebei, Central Hebei, and even Western Mengxi.

To lure the enemy deep, the pre-planned annihilation battle inside the solid fortifications of Huangyadong is also being carried out.

But I always feel that there is still a bit of meaning in it. "

The old brigade commander laughed, he took the lead in gaining insight into the thoughts of the deputy chief of staff.

"Old Zuo, what you mean is that our side is still a bit short of fire after all.

what is it then?

Can it completely irritate the little devil, and make the devil rush to our preset battlefield regardless of the cost, even losing his mind? "

The deputy chief of staff laughed and said, "The parents who gave birth to me, the one who knows me must be you, Chen Shukang!"

But then everyone had a headache again, where to find the fuse now?
Everyone was thinking about it, and they didn't know what was going on, but two faces appeared in their minds surprisingly unanimously, one was that of Kong Jie, who looked simple and honest, and the other was always bared with big teeth, like a very A hungry wolf with a big head...
