Chapter 515 Kong Jie: Huang Yu has fought all kinds of evil battles, so he won't be scared
The brigade commander was convinced by his deputy.
As he just said, if there were no other Eighth Route Army troops in Shunping, there would be no explanation for the Eighth Route Army attacking the quick reaction brigade.
Then analyzed the words of the chief of staff: "In this way, the Duer Regiment's counterattack against Shunping was not an accident, but a premeditated counterattack by the Eighth Route Army..."
"They want to surround the area for reinforcements and eat up the quick reaction brigade!" the chief of staff continued to express his opinion!
"The threat posed by the quick reaction brigade to them is too great, and the Yizhong Eighth Route Army has suffered a lot at their hands. As long as the quick reaction brigade exists for one day, they will not be able to move around in the plains and can only be trapped in the mountains!"
"That's why we launched such a major counterattack in an attempt to eliminate the quick reaction brigade!"
"But our quick reaction brigade was stronger than they imagined. When we realized the danger, we cut off our arms and lost our vehicles to save our troops. Only then did we break out of the Eighth Route Army's pocket formation and escape the fate of being wiped out!"
I have to say that the Japanese chief of staff has a very rich imagination and a very good eloquence.
He insisted on saying something that didn't exist so clearly that the brigade leader couldn't find a reason to refute it, and he agreed with this statement in his heart.
Looking at the combat sandbox in front of him, he began to give orders: "First send a telegram to the rapid reaction brigade and agree that they will return to Baoding immediately!"
"The chief of staff is responsible for replenishing their troops and equipment so that they can regain their combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
"If there are really other Eighth Route Army troops in Shunping... they will still have a tough battle to fight in the future!"
"Send another phone call to the Aviation Command and ask them to immediately send two planes to reinforce Shunping, survey the entire twenty-kilometer area around Nanhan Village, and launch an attack directly after finding the Eighth Route Army. By the way, help us find out what is going on in this area.
How many Eighth Route Army troops are there!”
"At the same time, send a telegram to Shunping County: the rapid reaction brigade is temporarily unable to reinforce them, and requires them to guard the county, find out the true situation of the Eighth Route Army in Shunping, and report any news immediately!"
"Our intelligence agencies must also take action!"
"Although there are less mountains and more plains in Shunping, the fields are full of straw, and the Eighth Route Army can easily avoid aerial detection by hiding in them!"
"If you want to find out the true strength of your opponent, you still have to rely on scouts and intelligence personnel..."
"Buzzing..." Two planes appeared over South Korea Village, one on the left and one on the right.
The South Korean village has been razed to the ground by the war, and the rising black smoke means that a big battle has just been introduced here.
On both sides of the road about 500 to 600 meters away from South Korea Village, there are more than 20 transport trucks scattered here and there. Some of them have been blown into scrap metal. You can’t even see the appearance of the transport vehicles themselves. In some cases, you can still see a general outline.
Look.
The only thing the same is that each transport truck is billowing smoke...
The plane circled the battlefield twice and did not see a single Eighth Route Army member... They each moved their wings and began to expand the search area...
Huang Yu has withdrawn with seven transport vehicles ten kilometers away.
Before the Japanese plane appeared, the dull roar of the engine reached my ears. I immediately ordered the convoy to disperse into the wasteland on both sides of the road, and covered it with camouflage nets and grass prepared in advance...
From a distance, it looks like a grave covered with weeds. As long as no one gets too close, no one can tell that there is a transport truck hidden under the grave...
"Buzzing..."
The roar of the plane became louder and louder, and a plane soon appeared in Huang Yu's field of vision, cruising at low altitude along the road, searching for something...
Soon it whizzed past the convoy...
The pilot kept his eyes on the road. Unfortunately, on the entire ten-kilometer road from Nanhan Village to here, he didn't even see a single person, let alone the Eighth Route Army or a car.
As for the "graves" on both sides of the road, they were everywhere on the plain. He flew the plane to continue the investigation without taking a second glance...
At the Pingyang stronghold, Kong Jie stood on a pile of ruins, looking at the road ahead from time to time.
Chief of Staff Liu Sen squatted beside a table made of several ammunition boxes, with a map spread out on it, writing and drawing, with a very serious expression...
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly put down his pencil and said: "Commander, withdraw!"
"I just made a deduction based on the map. If the Japanese quick-reaction brigade successfully enters Shunping and splits into four groups to attack us..."
"No matter how fast we retreat, we will lose four main companies... This does not include the loss of the first battalion to block the quick reaction brigade..."
Kong Jie suddenly interrupted: "Just tell me the worst outcome!"
"Losing two main battalions and withdrawing one main battalion..." Liu Sen answered silently.
"What's the best result?" Kong Jie continued to ask.
Liu Sen continued: "The first battalion successfully held back the Japanese quick reaction brigade... The second and third battalions successfully completed their mission and returned to the base area with a large amount of loot!"
"But even a battalion will be disabled in the battle!"
"After all, the Japanese's quick reaction brigade has more than a thousand people and is well-equipped. It has everything they need, as well as air support... Even the terrain is very favorable to them..."
"The huge disparity in strength makes it impossible for me to see any chance of winning!"
This time it was Kong Jie's turn to be silent, and after half a minute he spoke: "There is another situation!"
"The First Battalion is no match for the Japanese Quick Reaction Brigade in a head-to-head confrontation, but they can use tricks to force the Japanese Quick Reaction Brigade to retreat!"
"As long as there is no decisive battle with the Japanese, the losses of the first battalion will be within control!"
"We will also have enough time to take down all the town offices, village offices, and police stations in Shunping, and disintegrate the little devil's ruling power in the countryside!"
Liu Sen shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible!"
"The superiority in troops, equipment, firepower, and terrain... are all in the hands of the quick reaction brigade... We don't even have the strength to fight, how can we push them back!"
Kong Jie seemed to be confident in his analysis, and answered calmly in the face of Liu Sen's suspicious eyes: "It depends on Huang Yu..."
"This kid has fought in tougher battles. He will definitely not be intimidated by a small quick reaction brigade. I believe him..."
"Wait a minute... As long as Xiao Huang doesn't send anyone back to warn, it means that the Japanese quick-reaction brigade cannot threaten the safety of the Duer Regiment!"
"Send someone immediately to contact the main companies and ask them to hurry up!"
"Don't forget what I told you before we set off: Don't let any of the prisoners captured on the battlefield be released, and take them all back to the base. I will be of great use!"
"Part of the secrets of the seized grain will be returned to the people, and the rest will be transported back to the base area!"
"We also need to secretly recruit troops in enemy-occupied areas and send all those who meet the requirements back to the base!"
Kong Jie was the leader and political commissar of the Duer Regiment, and he was a man of his word.
Now that he had made a decision, Liu Sen couldn't say any more and could only nod and accept the order.
"Rumble..."
A faint sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly reached Kong Jie's ears, and he was so frightened that he quickly raised his binoculars and looked toward the end of the road.
After a while three cavalrymen appeared.
Riding an Oriental war horse specially designed for the Japanese cavalry, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, riding the horse towards the stronghold, so majestic!
As soon as he rushed to three or four hundred meters away, Kong Jie couldn't help shouting: "It's the correspondent of the First Battalion, I know them... Xiao Huang and the others have news!"
As he spoke, he jumped off the ruins and walked quickly towards the three correspondents.
Whether the Duer Regiment can expand its results and turn the crisis around depends on what news the three correspondents bring back!
