The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Lieutenant General Takano looked at the combat sandbox in front of him and replied: "The scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army you gave me is too wide and has almost no reference value..."

As he spoke, he pointed to an area on the sand table and replied: "For example, here..."

"It is more than ten kilometers deep from east to west and twenty kilometers wide from north to south. Three of the directions are bordered by mountains. The Eighth Route Army operating here can leave this area at any time by taking mountain roads."

"Even if I send troops to kill them now, I might miss them."

"And the Eighth Route Army is still able to lay out a large number of traps in this activity area waiting for us to drill."

"Only by truly finding them and locking the target will we not miss the target."

Colonel Nakayama still felt that troops were valuable and fast. Seeing that Lieutenant General Takano had no intention of getting angry, he was patiently discussing the problem with himself and added again: "We have the advantage in military strength..."

"The troops can be divided into separate groups to sweep across the entire activity area, making it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to escape."

"No..." Lieutenant General Takano refused again.

The tone of his speech this time was obviously more sharp than before, and even his brows were wrinkled unconsciously. He stared at the sand table and analyzed: "Zhongshan Jun..."

"Listening to what you just said, it must be your first time fighting against the Eighth Route Army..."

"Hai..." Colonel Zhongshan lowered his head and answered with a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't know what his answer just now had to do with this question.

"No wonder the Fuxin garrison lost so many troops and strongholds in just three or four days..." Lieutenant General Takano suddenly answered with a look of realization.

Then he introduced himself: "I once served as a brigade commander in the North China Front Army. I fought against the Eighth Route Army, and I understand the tactics of the Eighth Route Army fairly well."

"Do you know what is most taboo about fighting with them?"

Seeing Colonel Nakayama staring at him with doubts on his face, Lieutenant General Takano didn't waste any time and answered directly: "Arrogant and arrogant, divide the troops on the battlefield..."

"I always feel that I have a large number of troops and well-equipped equipment, and the Eighth Route Army must not be my opponent."

"As a result, they always play the classic example of winning with less and defeating more on the battlefield."

"Let alone dividing the troops."

"There is a very classic saying in the Eighth Route Army's counter-mopping up operations: It is better to cut off one of its ten fingers than to hurt it."

"Our initiative to divide our forces to encircle and suppress them is tantamount to creating every opportunity for them to defeat us."

"Don't think the Eighth Route Army was not wiped out by then, but one or two mopping up troops were eaten by them. That would be a shame."

"The surest way to deal with them is to find the target, gather the main force and crush it head-on, without giving them any chance to attack us."

"That's why I kept my troops stationary after I led my troops into Fuxin..."

"If I hadn't had the experience of defeat on the North China battlefield, I would have taken action long ago."

"Perhaps it is for this reason that Your Majesty the Commander transferred me from Heilongjiang to Liaoning to reinforce you in the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army."

Colonel Nakayama was scolded by Lieutenant General Takano and was speechless. He wanted to refute but could not find a reason.

We can only let Lieutenant General Takano do what he wants.

After all, he was the lieutenant general's division commander and the direct commander of the entire sweep.

…………

In a ravine more than 20 kilometers west of Fuxin.

Li Yunlong was frowning as he considered the next battle for his troops.

If there was only one regiment of the Kwantung Army in Fuxin, minus the Japanese soldiers he had already killed, the opponents he would have to face would only be around a thousand people at most. The Northbound Detachment he brought with him also had around a thousand people, not much less than them.

As long as we use good tactics, not to mention destroying them, it will be very easy to block them in Fuxin County.

As a result, the Kwantung Army headquarters dispatched a main division to deal with itself.

Although he raided Fuxin, the purpose of opening the third battlefield was to attract this division here and reduce Huang Yu's counter-mopping pressure.

But when this division of the Kwantung Army actually entered Fuxin and prepared to encircle and suppress him, Li Yunlong felt the tremendous pressure brought by the main division of the Kwantung Army on him.

I still think about the mood of a small boat facing huge waves.

If you are not careful, it will be overturned and sink into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

But Li Yunlong is not the kind of person who gives up when encountering difficulties. Instead, he prefers to face difficulties head on.

The stronger the enemy, the stronger the fighting spirit in his heart.

Besides, Huang Yu could lead a regiment of remnants to deal with a main division of the Kwantung Army on the Jinzhou battlefield, and even pull out the tiger's teeth and eat thousands of Kwantung Army elites.

As the commander of the northbound detachment, there was no reason for both sides to admit defeat before the fight even started.

"Commander..." Shi Jin, commander of the first battalion of the second regiment, suddenly ran to Li Yunlong and reported with confusion.

"It's weird..."

"The main division of the Kwantung Army that entered Fuxin yesterday did not attack us immediately. Instead, it was stationed outside Fuxin City for repairs."

"Hundreds of scouts were sent out early this morning to conduct reconnaissance in combat units..."

"The strongholds and settlement points we conquered were their key reconnaissance targets. They also followed the traces left by us when we retreated, as if they were looking for us..."

"I can't figure it out..."

"The superiority in troops, equipment, and firepower...all belong to the little devil..."

"If I were the division commander of the Kwantung Army, I would just send troops to sweep over us. But this group of Kwantung Army actually did this to us."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was the key to his victory, and then analyzed with a frown.

"There's nothing I can't figure out..."

"The commander of the Kwantung Army Division who is reinforcing Fuxin is a cautious leader. He is worried that he will be plotted by us if he attacks rashly. He wants to determine our strength and equipment first. It is best to lock our specific location, and then prescribe the right medicine to attack our base and fight. And down..."

Shi Jin frowned after hearing this: "Then we will be in big trouble."

"If the Kwantung Army knew that we only had less than a thousand troops left, they would definitely come towards us with lightning speed."

"If we let them lock in our specific location and send out heavy troops to surround us from all directions, it will really make the sky and the earth unable to respond."

Li Yunlong suddenly interrupted: "No..."

"We don't have enough troops. If the Kwantung Army comes up and sends heavy troops to kill us without giving us any chance to react, we will be unable to withstand it."

"After all, many tactics and tactics will become vulnerable in the face of absolute strength."

"But now the little devil wants to investigate first and then besiege us, but it has created an opportunity for us to delay."

"Take the opportunity to muddy the waters so that the Kwantung Army cannot figure out our strength and give them the illusion that Fuxin is full of Eighth Route Army troops. The main force of the Kwantung Army left behind in Fuxin does not know how to attack us." (End of Chapter)
