The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1379: Captain, this is a lie about military information (second update)

"Captain... I will immediately arrange for troops to search for traces of the Eighth Route Army and determine their strength and equipment so that I can report it to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and ask them to send troops to reinforce us as soon as possible!" The Chief of Staff also knew how difficult it would be to get the Kwantung Army Headquarters to change military orders. How big it is, since you can't change it, you can only execute the order.

The captain shook his head and refused: "This is too slow, we definitely can't afford to wait..."

After saying this, a determined expression appeared on his face, as if he had made a great decision, and he ordered very seriously: "Call the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately..."

"After investigation: the Eighth Route Army operating in Fuxin has a total strength of more than 2,000 people, equipped with a large number of mountain artillery, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, and its combat effectiveness is very powerful..."

"They dispersed their activities in Fuxin in units of strengthened battalions, attacking our strongholds, gun towers, settlement points, and destroying railway lines..."

"In just one night, the Kwantung Army stationed in Fuxin lost 1,700 people, as well as more than 1,200 puppet Manchurian troops, more than 300 armed expatriates, and a large number of weapons, ammunition, and fathers and sons."

"Other……"

"The Eighth Route Army also captured more than 800 puppet Manchurian troops on the battlefield, and recruited more than 100 new soldiers from the captured settlements..."

"If the reinforcements do not reach Fuxin in time, the Eighth Route Army will definitely attack again after dark. The Fuxin garrison will lose more than a thousand troops and more settlement points. The Eighth Route Army will also capture more puppet Manchurian troops in the battle. , recruit more recruits at the settlement point.”

"Then it will develop and expand in Fuxin and establish a base area, which will affect the dominance of the Kwantung Army in Fuxin, and then affect the security of Shenyang South Gate..."

"I implore the headquarters to immediately send troops to reinforce Fuxin. The more troops the better, and strive to encircle and eliminate all the Eighth Route Army active in Fuxin at once, without giving them the opportunity to develop and grow..."

After hearing the commander's order, the chief of staff's eyes immediately widened.

The first thought that came to mind was that the co-captain was crazy.

The wing headquarters clearly had not found out the strength and equipment of the Eighth Route Army operating in Fuxin, but the wing leader actually told the headquarters that there were more than 2,000 Eighth Route Army troops operating in Fuxin...

This is clearly a lie about military information...

For soldiers, lying about military information is a much greater crime than losing the battle.

Because the Kwantung Army Headquarters is likely to make wrong decisions due to the false military information reported by the Fuxin garrison, which will affect the strength and equipment of the reinforcements.

If the Kwantung Army headquarters sends too few reinforcements, not only will the Eighth Route Army fail to kill the Eighth Route Army operating in Fuxin after an encirclement and suppression operation, but they will be counterattacked by the Eighth Route Army, resulting in heavy losses for the reinforcements. The commander of the regiment in front of him will be sent to a military court. All are light.

Quick reminder: "Your Excellency, the captain, please think twice..."

"The guilt of lying about military information is really too great..."

"What if the Eighth Route Army active in Fuxin is not two thousand, but three thousand..."

"I suggest you wait until the reconnaissance team investigates clearly before reporting it to the Kwantung Army headquarters."

The chief of staff's reminder made the chief of staff hesitate for a moment, but he did not persuade him. He still insisted on following the order: "You are right to remind..."

"If we report too few Eighth Route Army troops and the Kwantung Army headquarters sends too few reinforcements, it will be dangerous..."

"Report directly to three thousand people..."

"In case the encirclement and suppression operation ends in the future and less than 3,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers are killed, we will say that some of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the chaos and escaped..."

Although the chief of staff did not have direct evidence of how many Eighth Route Army troops there were in the territory, analysis of battle reports compiled by various units last night showed that the total number of Eighth Route Army troops in the territory should not exceed 2,000. The commander of the regiment opened his mouth and reported 3,000 men, which was probably twice as many as the actual strength of the Eighth Route Army.

If the Kwantung Army Headquarters really wants to be held accountable, it is still lying about military information.

But the co-captain is right when he says that over-reporting is definitely better than under-reporting.

The Kwantung Army headquarters sent more reinforcements, and the troops won the battle in Fuxin. The commander was in a good mood, and the wing headquarters was able to deceive the issue of the wrong number of Eighth Route Army troops with just two excuses.

But if the reinforcements were defeated in Fuxin, the issue of the incorrect number of Eighth Route Army troops would not be so easy to deceive.

Seeing that the commander had made up his mind, the chief of staff could only choose to accept the order.

…………

Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Looking at the battle report just sent from the Fuxin Wing Headquarters, Umezu Umejiro remained silent for two minutes without speaking.

There are too many questions in my mind that cannot be answered.

There are one to two thousand Eighth Route Army active in Jinzhou, and another two to three thousand Eighth Route Army is attacking Chaoyang County. The total number is exactly four to five thousand, which is exactly the same as the total strength of the Eighth Route Army in Northeast China previously judged by the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Umezu Umejiro himself also very much agrees. this number.

As a result, another 3,000 Eighth Route Army troops have emerged in Fuxin, which means that the Eighth Route Army troops operating in the Northeast are not the four or five thousand they initially estimated, but seven or eight thousand.

At the rate at which the Eighth Route Army is pulling troops in Guannei, doubling the troops in two or three months is considered a small amount.

If you don't eliminate these Eighth Route Army troops as soon as possible, it won't take long for the total strength of the Eighth Route Army troops operating in the Northeast to exceed 15,000 or even 20,000 people. It will be difficult to eliminate them.

Umezu Umejiro couldn't figure out where so many Eighth Route Army troops came from.

"Your Excellency, Commander..." Just when he was puzzled, the chief of staff on the side suddenly spoke, bringing him back to reality from the silence.

"No matter where the Eighth Route Army operating in Fuxin comes from, we must send troops to reinforce Fuxin as soon as possible."

"Last night Fuxin lost three thousand Kwantung Army and Puppet Manchuria Army. If we don't send reinforcements as soon as possible and the Eighth Route Army takes action tonight, the Fuxin garrison will probably lose another two to three thousand people, and then they will have no one left. If not, Fuxin County will be lost.”

Seeing that Umezu Umejiro did not answer, the captain continued to express his thoughts: "It just so happened that a main division dispatched from Heilongjiang by the headquarters had just entered Liaoning and had not yet joined the Jinzhou battlefield..."

"The humble post suggested that a main brigade be transferred from this division to reinforce Fuxin and work with the Fuxin garrison to eliminate the Eighth Route Army operating in their territory."

Umezu Umejiro, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He let out a long sigh, then looked at the chief of staff and asked, "Do you think a brigade can help the Fuxin garrison break the situation?"

"The total number of Eighth Route Army troops operating in Jinzhou is less than 2,000. We dispatched a main brigade and the local garrison in Jinzhou but failed to achieve a quick victory."

"There are three thousand Eighth Route Army troops active in Fuxin. We only send one main brigade there. Do you think we can win?"
