The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

The loss of the Shanxi Northwest Base in the raid was far greater than the Japanese army imagined.

After Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were transferred, although the foundation of the independent regiment remained in Northwest Shanxi and the equipment was not taken away, the ammunition left behind was limited after all.

The newly appointed regiment leader is obviously not as good at handling ammunition as Huang Yu.

After more than a year of consumption, the ammunition has basically been consumed.

Although the mountain artillery and field artillery equipped by each regiment are still there, due to the limited number of shells, they are only used as a last resort. In ordinary battles, they are basically used as decorations to scare little devils.

The troops lacked heavy weapons for attacking the fortifications. Facing the little devil bunkers along the railway and highway, the siege troops often had to send death squads to blast them, resulting in [-]% more casualties than before.

The limited ammunition is getting less and less, and the seizures have not even made up for the loss.

After completing the raid mission, the regiments returned to the base area to rest as planned. As a result, the sweeping troops sent by Yoshio Iwamatsu followed them into the base area in Northwest Shanxi.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Eighth Route Army had just experienced a big battle, the troops were exhausted and launched an attack overnight.

The attacked regiments were killed on the spot and caught off guard. They lost several companies without knowing who their opponents were, and even lost their garrison...

The next sweep of the Japanese army was like a broken bamboo, and within a week they took half of the bases in northwestern Shanxi.

In fact, this battle with Yoshio Iwamatsu has a lot of luck.

Before the troops raided the Japanese army's transportation line, they had already made anti-mopping preparations. The troops and ammunition supplies were all assembled. As long as the devils dared to come, they would definitely be able to severely damage them and hold the base.

As a result, anti-mopping up suddenly became an active offense.

After completing the raid mission, the participating troops naturally divided up and returned to their respective bases, and the ammunition and supplies assembled before were almost consumed.

Yoshio Yanmatsu launched an attack abruptly, and was lucky to kill the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army by surprise.

And each of them was defeated, and the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi was hit hard, and they had no power to parry, so they could only retreat continuously...

…………

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief was also paying attention to the sudden outbreak of the sweep, with a very dignified expression.

"Snapped……"

For some unknown reason, he suddenly punched the table hard, and said sharply, "Yoshio Iwamatsu attacked at the wrong time."

"The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi has just completed a raid mission. The ammunition and supplies are insufficient, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and they are still very tired...Suddenly they were attacked by an army of tigers and wolves. It is difficult to be undefeated..."

"Fortunately, they have stabilized the situation now."

"Although half of the base area was lost, the Japanese army in Shanxi lost thousands of people."

"If there is a force going straight into the back of the Japanese army and cutting off the Japanese army's logistics supply line, the little devils who have been fighting for several days will definitely be in danger of running out of ammunition. They will have to control the offensive, or even suspend the offensive and withdraw from the base area in northwest Shanxi."

The chief of staff stared at the distribution of troops between the enemy and us on the map and said: "This is our conventional method of anti-mopping up."

"Wait until the enemy and us are in a stalemate, then send troops to raid the devils' rear, let the devils face the enemy, and force them to retreat."

"The northwestern Shanxi base has also considered this style of play."

"But the devils bite them too hard. Every main force group is followed by two or three thousand Japanese puppet troops. Behind these two or three thousand Japanese puppet troops, there are still a large number of small devil mobile troops on standby at any time."

"I can't get away at all."

"Even if some troops get rid of the pursuers, it will be difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese mobile troops..."

"It is difficult to bypass the first-line battlefield directly and rush to the Japanese army's logistics supply line for a long distance."

The deputy commander stared at the map, tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly said: "They have no troops themselves, we can send troops to reinforce them."

"The Eighth Route Army is a family. It is impossible to watch them being hit hard by the Japanese army in Shanxi and losing the bases that the troops have worked so hard to build in Northwest Shanxi."

The chief of staff pointed to the map and analyzed: "The Japanese army in Shanxi must not be able to move."

"Information shows that although the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in other directions in Shanxi have not moved, they have stepped up their guard."

"The Japanese and puppet troops guarding the Taiyue base area directly moved their cannons to the edge of the base area. The infantry armed with cannons attacked us everywhere, and several villages have already been attacked."

"As soon as they move, these Japanese and puppet troops will rush into the base area..."

"The Japanese and puppet troops defending the base area in southeast Shanxi have also moved, closely monitoring every move of our army."

"The little devil's air force is constantly patrolling and reconnaissing our base area. Whenever the troops move, they will be attacked by their air force. The nearby Japanese and puppet troops will rush over at the first time and bite us."

"Even the little devils stationed around Shanxi have stepped up their guard..."

"Assemble several infantry regiments and put on a posture to reinforce Shanxi at any time..."

"It can be seen from this: Although this big raid was sudden, it must have been written by Ningji Gangmura."

"He suffered a big loss in the wings... He lost his wife and lost his army. He wanted to make up for it by winning two battles in other places."

"The Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi was formed by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. Its combat effectiveness is very strong. It has repeatedly hit the Shanxi garrison."

"If they can disintegrate the Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop and injure them severely, Gangcun Ningci will be able to minimize the impact of Yizhong's defeat..."

"Snapped……"

The deputy commander-in-chief punched the table again, and said seriously: "Then send troops from farther away to reinforce Northwest Shanxi..."

"Although half of the base areas in Northwest Shanxi were lost, they successfully transferred the battlefield to the base areas that the troops are more familiar with."

"Relying on favorable terrain to fight guerrillas with the Japanese and puppet mopping up troops... It will be no problem to delay for another half a month."

"Enough for us to deploy troops from other places to reinforce Northwest Shanxi!"

The chief of staff nodded: "Although the Shanxi Northwest Eighth Route Army did not fight well at the beginning, they have stabilized the battle!"

"Whoever breaks the deadlock first and finds a breakthrough will have the initiative on the battlefield!"

"The troops we sent from other places to Northwest Shanxi are the breakthrough."

"But the strength of this army must not be too large, otherwise the Japanese and puppet troops will detect it before reaching the northwest of Shanxi, and they will be blocked from Shanxi."

"But the fighting power must be strong enough, otherwise we will not be able to break the battle in Northwest Shanxi. Not only will we not be able to help the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, but we will also get ourselves into trouble."

"In the end, I lost my wife and lost my army..."

The deputy commander-in-chief who was staring at the map suddenly smiled, and replied confidently: "We really have such a force..."

"I remember when Kong Jie and Huang Yu first arrived in Yizhong, the Northwest base of Shanxi was his mother's home, and they even covered them!"

"Nowadays, the Northwest Shanxi Base is in trouble. As the founders of the Northwest Shanxi Base, they should help out of reason and reason."

"How about asking Xiao Huang to lead an army to reinforce Northwest Shanxi?"

"His brain turns quickly, maybe he can think of other ways to break the situation in Northwest Shanxi."
