Umezu Umejiro has not yet recovered from the shock brought to him by a series of bad news.
The hurried figure of the operator appeared in the war room again, reporting with a serious face: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"Urgent call from Jinzhou Garrison Headquarters..."
"The Shishan stronghold in their defense area was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army..."
"The brigade closest to them immediately sent reinforcements. As a result, the reinforcements were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way. Three full infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squadron, and a mortar squadron..."
"A total of more than 700 elite Kwantung Army troops were destroyed..."
"The Shishan stronghold was also breached, and the defenders were also completely destroyed."
"The Eighth Route Army also blew up all the more than 2,000 meters of railway lines around the stronghold, causing the railway we had just repaired to be interrupted again."
"The Jinzhou Garrison Headquarters sent a main force to reinforce the battlefield, but the Eighth Route Army has already withdrawn from the battle, and the attacking troops are following the traces left by the Eighth Route Army's retreat into the mountains to hunt them down..."
The battle inside the pass to sweep away the Eighth Route Army's base area in the wing made Umezu Umejiro worried. Unexpectedly, something happened outside the pass.
Relatively speaking, Umezu Umejiro was more worried about the situation outside the customs.
Although the Kwantung Army lost less than a thousand men in this battle, it was far lower than the losses of the Kwantung Army's reinforcements sent south.
But after all, Guanhai is not the territory of the Kwantung Army.
Take ten thousand steps back.
Even if the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army going south are defeated in the battlefield in the center of the wing, they can just retreat.
As long as the outside world is not affected, it won't take long for the lost troops and supplies to be replenished.
It won't work outside the customs.
This is the home base of the Kwantung Army. Once an accident occurs, the foundation of the entire Kwantung Army's rule outside the Kwantung will be shaken.
He immediately focused his attention on the combat sandbox and found the Shishan stronghold defended by the Jinzhou garrison. He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "There are too few troops for one regiment..."
"The Eighth Route Army operating outside the Pass also appeared before, but we assembled a brigade and regiment but couldn't find them and eliminate them."
"Now that they finally show up again, we must seize the opportunity to find them and kill them."
"Send a telegram to the Jinzhou Garrison Headquarters immediately..."
"Deploy two more main regiments to join the battle together, encircle them from three directions at the same time, and nip the Eighth Route Army in the bud at all costs. They must not be allowed to establish bases outside the customs."
…………
Headquarters of the Northward Detachment of the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong and Huang Yu happened to receive good news from Wei Dayong and Duan Peng.
Li Yunlong slapped the table and shouted excitedly: "I knew Duan Peng could do it..."
"With Wei Dayong, we will kill seven to eight hundred elite Kwantung Army members..."
"We also led three regiments of little devils to circle in the mountains, and the results were much greater than we expected..."
"If they find a way to kill some more Kwantung Army through mobile warfare, I guess the entire Kwantung Army's attention will be attracted to them, and then the main force of the detachment can start taking action."
While Li Yunlong was talking, Huang Yu happened to receive a telegram handed over by the operator, and then he smiled and said happily: "Commander... there is no need to wait any longer..."
"I think the main force of the detachment can take action..."
"I just received news... Commander Kong, who was left behind at the Yi Zhong base area, took the initiative and used tunnels unfamiliar to the Kwantung Army to wipe out a main force of the Japanese army in just one night, severely damaged a regiment, and completely wiped out a full infantry brigade.
, wiped out six thousand elite Kwantung Army members..."
"The Kwantung Army's reinforcements sent south but failed to succeed, Umezu Umejiro must be very anxious."
"Even without the battle of Wei Dayong and Duan Peng's raid on the railway line, the Kwantung Army's attention was still focused outside the Pass, and it would be difficult to pay attention to the area where we are hiding."
"Kong Er is so awesome..." Li Yunlong asked with wide eyes and disbelief on his face.
In his eyes, the counter-mopping up commanded by Kong Jie could definitely be won with the support of other Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army in the Wing would definitely pay a heavy price.
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie killed so many elite Kwantung Army troops in one move, which greatly exceeded Li Yunlong's expectations.
As a result, while reading the telegram, I sighed: "Tunnel war..."
"The devils have suffered so much at the hands of the tunnels, but they will still be defeated in front of the tunnels. Haven't they heard that every bite makes one wise?"
"wrong……"
Just when he was about to continue sighing, he suddenly shook his head and denied his previous analysis.
"The reason why the Japs were defeated by the tunnels was entirely because they suffered from amateurs commanding amateurs."
"The last time the Kwantung Army sent troops to reinforce the North China Front, the mopping up troops came from the Kwantung Army and did not know our tactics and tactics. However, Okamura Neji was the direct commander of the entire sweep. He knew us and knew our tactics and tactics, so he
It’s very difficult to deal with.”
"The Kwantung Army who participated in this sweep also came from outside the Kwantung Army and did not understand our tactics and methods... The commander also changed from Okamura Neiji to an officer of the Kwantung Army, and they did not understand us even more."
"The commanders above are giving random commands, and the troops below are fighting blindly. It's hard not to lose to Kong Er, the idiot."
"When the headquarters takes action, the Kwantung Army's mopping up troops will be attacked from both sides. It will be difficult for the Japanese to remain undefeated."
Huang Yu immediately answered: "The little devils outside the customs are the same. They are also amateurs commanding amateurs..."
"During this period, I specially studied the Kwantung Army's tactics against us."
"Perhaps because they don't understand our tactical style, every time we show up, the Kwantung Army will always follow us to pursue this move, and there will be no other moves."
"This style of play will definitely be no problem in positional warfare..."
"If you use it against us now, it's just one move away."
"After all, our Eighth Route Army is famous for its ability to escape the enemy's pursuit in the mountains on two legs."
"We cannot control the fighting within the Pass. The top priority now is to break the deadlock outside the Pass as soon as possible and establish a base."
"I suggest sending a telegram to Wei Dayong and Duan Peng..."
"Although the Kwantung Army that encircled and suppressed them had three main regiments, it was not good at mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare. It had not even been exposed to these two methods of fighting... I think this is a great opportunity for them."
"Our troops should take the initiative, use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to force them to divide their forces, and then use various defeat methods to eliminate the enemy in the mountains, giving the Kwantung Army an unforgettable lesson."
"The main force of the detachment took action immediately. According to the predetermined combat plan, they first cut off the contact between the surrounding Puppet Manchuria Army and the Kwantung Army, then secretly moved the troops into position, launched a sudden attack, and quickly captured all attack targets. Try to capture as many prisoners as possible during the operation.
, used by me to confuse the Kwantung Army and secretly develop base areas."
