The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1389 Kong Jie: Then let’s fight again (second update)

"idiot……"

Okamura Neji was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then collapsed to the ground, frightening the surrounding staff.

The medic rushed into the war room two minutes later, and it took a full five minutes to revive Okamura Neji.

The first thing he said after opening his eyes was to give the order to withdraw the troops.

As the Chief of Staff just analyzed.

The Yizhong Eighth Route Army was able to severely damage the three main divisions of the Kwantung Army overnight under the cover of aircraft and heavy artillery, and it would certainly be able to defeat the remaining three divisions.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the best way to break the situation is to temporarily avoid the edge, withdraw the mopping up troops from the front line first, and keep a distance from the Eighth Route Army.

After the intelligence department has locked the Eighth Route Army airport and artillery station, and the front army headquarters dispatched aircraft to destroy them, they will then nod to besiege the Eighth Route Army Wing Center base area. Even if the mopping up goal cannot be achieved, their own safety can definitely be guaranteed.

The chief of staff did not act immediately after hearing the order. Instead, he hesitated and asked: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"Should we withdraw our troops now or wait until dawn..."

"We will withdraw after daybreak..." Okamura Neiji replied after thinking for a few seconds.

"The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has just finished a great victory and must be very tired..."

"The battlefield is more than 20 kilometers away from the other three divisions..."

"No matter how strong their fighting power is or how high their morale is, they cannot continue to fight after marching more than 20 kilometers in a hurry..."

"And our troops are already prepared. Even if the remaining three divisions are besieged by the Eighth Route Army, they can't even think of killing the artillery regiments and tank brigades of the three divisions through preemptive strikes..."

"No matter how many tank troops the Eighth Route Army gathers to launch an attack, they will not be able to take advantage of our artillery regiment and tank brigade..."

"So the remaining three divisions are safe for the time being..."

"To withdraw our troops now, we will suffer various sneak attacks by the Eighth Route Army on the march because there is no air cover, which will cost us a lot."

"Give the intelligence department another death order..."

"I don't care how much they pay...we must seize the opportunity to find the Eighth Route Army airport, the heavy artillery unit, and the tank unit that just participated in the war..."

"All aviation forces will be dispatched after dawn...under the guidance of intelligence personnel, destroy the Eighth Route Army aviation, heavy artillery, and tank troops..."

"The more than 30,000 elite Kwantung Army members who just died in battle cannot die in vain!"

"If we cannot take the opportunity to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's aviation, heavy artillery, and tank troops... the headquarters will not be able to give the Kwantung Army an explanation!"

…………

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong.

The entire war room was immersed in joy.

The chief of staff looked at the list of results that had just been tallied in his hand. His whole face was covered with a smile, and his mouth was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth.

"Commander..."

"Great victory..."

"Our division has won an unprecedented victory..."

"Destroyed nearly 40,000 elite members of the Kwantung Army, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies..."

"No surprise... tomorrow morning the remaining three divisions of the Kwantung Army on the front line will nod to evacuate our base and end the sweep!" Kong Jie looked forward to hearing this and asked directly: "Have you lost money in this battle? !”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Not only did I not lose money, I also made a lot of money!"

"The Kwantung Army's excellent equipment is really not just bragging."

"Although they have been fighting with us for half a month, the various types of ammunition in reserve are still astronomical."

"Excluding those destroyed in the battle, among all the trophies we captured, there are more than 28,000 various artillery shells!"

"Excluding the more than 10,000 rounds used, I still earned more than 10,000 rounds in vain."

"There are countless kinds of equipment. Nearly two hundred vehicles were pulled forward and backward, and eleven intact large-caliber heavy artillery pieces were captured, which was enough for us to immediately form a heavy artillery battalion... We also captured several heavy artillery pieces that could be repaired... "

"Mountain field artillery is enough for us to form three battalions..."

"The intact tanks are enough for us to form two companies!"

The expectant expression on Kong Jie's face was finally replaced by a smile, and he continued to ask: "Are there many casualties among the troops?"

"Not much..." Upon hearing this question, the smile on the chief of staff's face grew wider, and he was happy to answer!

"During the entire raid, our troops almost never had a head-on confrontation with the Kwantung Army...we were always suppressing the enemy under the cover of tanks, heavy artillery, and aircraft!"

"The Kwantung Army's artillery regiment and tank brigade, which pose the greatest threat to us, were killed by us at the beginning of the firefight and lost their combat effectiveness..."

"From the beginning to the end of the battle, the battlefield advantage and initiative are always in our hands..."

"Except for a little more ammunition consumption, the loss of several tanks, the destruction of more than 20 mountain field guns and heavy artillery, and the bombing of many mortars, the total casualties of the entire army were less than 3,000..."

"As of now...the three-way sweep force still has over 10,000 soldiers who can continue to participate in the war."

"As long as they have a good rest and regain their strength, with their current morale, they will have no problem fighting another big battle!"

The smile on Kong Jie's face grew wider. He immediately looked at the map aside, thought for two minutes and then spoke!

"Since the morale of the soldiers is high, the ammunition is sufficient, and the equipment losses are not large... then we will fight again..."

"Chief of Staff, you just said that the remaining three divisions of the Kwantung Army will withdraw after dawn... I think so too."

"If we withdraw the troops participating in the battle tonight...the Kwantung Army will retreat outside our base area after dawn...it will be almost impossible to catch up with the troops when they carry a large number of heavy artillery and tanks."

"In this case, we will set off first before the Kwantung Army...move to the only way the enemy retreats, wait and see, while repairing, waiting for the enemy to hit our guns, and try to use the half hour before dark to fight again Raid battle."

"Cripple the remaining three divisions of the Kwantung Army together and leave them completely in North China. They will not threaten the safety of Li Yunlong and Huang Yu!"

The chief of staff followed Kong Jie's thinking and analyzed: "If the Kwantung Army has three remaining divisions and withdraws after dawn..."

"A normal march in a day is more than 40 kilometers..."

"If we dispatch local troops to destroy the only way they can pass, they can walk up to 20 kilometers a day without giving up heavy weapons and ammunition."

"No matter what the situation is, their camp tonight is at our base, and they can indeed fight again..."

"But the Kwantung Army is not stupid..."

"Every step you take makes you wise. If we use the same tactics to launch a surprise attack tonight, they must have been prepared. Not only will the effect of the surprise attack be greatly reduced, but the attacking troops may also lose their lives in the Kwantung Army's counterattack." Break the troops."

"After all, the strength advantage between us and the Kwantung Army is still in their hands!"
