Chapter 693 Li Yunlong was deceived and became lame (first update)

"Dong dong..."

Okamura Neiji knocked on the table with the back of his hand to signal everyone to stop, and at the same time threw out a latest investigation report.

"This is the loss situation of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong just discovered by the intelligence department and reconnaissance force."

"In the entire battle, we killed and injured more than 6,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers."

"There are still more than 4,000 Eighth Route Army elites in the Yizhong base area."

"This is also the fundamental reason why I asked you to withdraw from Baoding in a hurry."

"Without the Imperial Alliance Army and the logistics and transportation troops, the mopping up troops will have no strength advantage. Continuing the fight will only increase casualties."

"Among the more than 6,000 casualties, there are 1,500 wounded."

"After recovering and returning to the team, the combat effectiveness of these more than 1,000 people will not be worse than the 3,000 people before the counter-mopping."

"Their equipment is also better than before the counter-sweep."

"Some of them were captured by us, and some of them were originally equipped by us."

"Coupled with the intricate tunnel fortifications in the base area."

"If we failed to eliminate them this time, the difficulty of eliminating them in the future will definitely increase exponentially."

The troops had just suffered a defeat and their morale was already very low.

Not only did Neji Okamura fail to boost everyone's morale, he actually boosted others' ambitions and destroyed his own prestige. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Major General Fujita was the first to be unconvinced and stood up from his seat rashly.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have a different opinion."

After finishing his sentence, Okamura Neji continued without waiting for him to speak.

"The most fundamental reason for this defeat is that we did not understand the Eighth Route Army's tunnel warfare."

"Now we understand it and have accumulated a lot of experience in fighting tunnel warfare."

"As long as we have enough troops and heavy weapons, I have a 100% certainty of capturing the Eighth Route Army's base area in the center of the wing."

Major General Kawasaki also suppressed his anger and had nowhere to vent his anger.

Seeing Major General Fujita taking the lead in calling for battle, he then stood up and said, "As long as we have enough troops, we have a 100% chance of holding a humble position."

"Please, Commander, trust us."

"The war situation is far from deteriorating to the point you said."

After Major General Kawasaki said these words, he stood in his position, lowered his head, and prepared to withstand the violent storm brought by Okamura Neji.

Surprisingly, Okamura Neji not only didn't get angry, but instead looked at them with admiration.

Little did they know that this was just a provocative method used by Okamura Neji against them.

Seeing that his subordinates were dejected, they all lowered their heads and had no fighting spirit at all.

Deliberately throwing out the casualty data of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong during the raids, exaggerating to exaggerate their strength, and thus arousing the unwillingness to admit defeat in the hearts of his subordinates.

Now it seems that my goal of inspiring generals has obviously been achieved.

He waved his hand to the two brigade leaders to sit down before speaking again: "Having confidence is a good thing."

"I'm particularly worried that a defeat will destroy everyone's fighting spirit."

"What you just said gave me hope to defeat the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong again."

"We have the method, we have the fighting spirit, but the only thing left is the supply of troops and ammunition."

"I will help you solve these two problems."

"Order, from now on, all the mopping up troops will be stationed in Baoding, train and prepare for war, and be ready to launch the second major mopping up at the Eighth Route Army's base area in the wing."

"Fujita-kun serves as the interim commander-in-chief of the Baoding garrison."

"Kawazaki-kun serves as the deputy commander-in-chief and provides unified command of the troops stationed in the city."

"After returning to Peiping, I will personally contact the Kwantung Army and the country to replenish recruits, weapons and ammunition for everyone, collect ammunition supplies, and prepare for the next major sweep."

…………

At the enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, Li Yunlong's voice always entered the room first as usual.

"Kong Er is stupid...I, Li Yunlong, didn't hold you back this time..."

"If you hadn't fought too fast now, I might have actually captured that old devil Okamura Neji."

"But this trip to Baoding was not in vain."

"In addition to weapons and ammunition, we brought back 100,000 kilograms of food alone, as well as a large amount of other supplies."

“Not only did we use all the mules and horses used to transport ammunition, we also bought two to three hundred of them in Baoding.”

"Fortunately, Baoding is big enough, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to buy mules and horses even if they had money."

"By the way, I also seized a large amount of medicines and gold and silver property in Baoding City."

"It's also because we were lucky. There happened to be a hospital run by a kid in the north of Baoding City. There were a lot of medicines hidden in it, and the troops packed them all up and brought them back."

"The counter-mopping is over. There must be a lot of wounded people in the base area. Distribute these medicines quickly and save as many as possible."

"We also captured a Japanese-controlled bank and two chambers of commerce, and seized gold and silver worth half a million oceans."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly became very serious.

Looking at Kong Jie, he continued: "Let's discuss it first."

"The gold, silver, property and medicines seized belong to the base area. I, Li Yunlong, don't have to be jealous. The remaining food, weapons and ammunition must be half of mine."

"I, Li Yunlong, come here to work as a part-time worker. I can't always be your deputy leader."

"These weapons, ammunition and food should be used as payment for my part-time labor. No one can take them away."

Kong Jie laughed at Li Yunlong's words, rolled his eyes at her and said: "Li Yunlong..."

"You underestimate me, Kong Jie."

"The Duer Regiment sent reinforcements and killed two Japanese reinforcements."

"The seized weapons and ammunition are almost piled up, so I can't bear to look down upon the few weapons you brought back."

"To be honest: I can give you all the weapons and ammunition the troops seized in Baoding."

"But you are definitely here to work part-time for me."

"Maybe you have received the news and will leave soon..."

"Shouldn't you? I am the leader of the Duer Regiment. The leader will definitely notify me in advance before transferring you."

"I haven't received the news yet, where are you going?"

"Maybe you'll be a part-time worker for a year or two every time you work."

"Impossible..." Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle and retorted confidently.

"I am qualified to be the regiment leader. The army is lacking military commanders everywhere. The commander will never let me stay at the Yizhong base as the deputy regiment commander."

"Even if I can't go back to the new regiment, I will go to other troops to be the regiment leader."

"I still have some confidence."

Kong Jie also knew in his heart that Li Yunlong's visit to the Yizhong base was just in time.

If it hadn't been for the sudden death of the chief of staff, the lack of commanders in the Duer Regiment, and Li Yunlong's mistake in northwest Shanxi, he would definitely not have come to the Yizhong base to do part-time work.

But in his heart, he didn't want Li Yunlong to leave so early.

Shen Quan's ability to independently command operations still needs to be improved.

There are so many troops in the Yizhong base area, and Huang Yu and himself are definitely not enough.

If Li Yunlong continues to stay in the Duer Regiment, he will definitely be more powerful when he raids Tianjin in the future, and his chances of winning will be greatly increased.

He immediately asked Li Yunlong: "Old Li..."

"As you wish."

"As long as I am the leader, it doesn't matter whether I go back to northwest Shanxi or not..."

Li Yunlong said arrogantly: "That's what I say, but it must be the leader of the main force."

"The local troops will definitely not go."

"You guys don't want to leave me as the leader of the garrison in northwestern Shanxi!"

"Tell you……"

"Don't even think about it."

"The garrison is more than one level lower than your main force."
