Chapter 545 Crisis turns into opportunity (second update)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kong Jie appeared at the entrance of Pingyang Town.
More than 3,000 little Japs invaded the base area. As the leader of the base area, he could not sit still for a minute. After arranging the troops, he went straight here with a few guards.
Although he said in front of the chief of staff that Huang Yu was 80% sure of defeating the game, he couldn't calm down until he figured out the specific method of attack!
"Captain, why did you come so quickly... Where is the security company... The Japanese have invaded heavily and the base area has just been established. There must be a lot of Japanese and puppet agents lurking near us. It's too dangerous for you to bring just a few of them here!
Huang Yu was startled by Kong Jie who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the town, and said with a guilty look on his face!
Kong Jie shook his head: "Compared with the frontline soldiers, my danger is nothing!"
"I received intelligence before I came here. Most of the troops that invaded our base area were recruited from surrounding counties by the Japanese army in Baoding. They were put together squadron by squadron, so they escaped the eyes of our intelligence officers!"
"They left the city in the middle of the night, and the intelligence officers saw it but were unable to send out the news. This caught us off guard..."
"Where are these devils now? Who is stopping them? Is your combat pressure high?"
Huang Yu has never been able to figure out how on earth so many Japanese soldiers escaped the eyes of intelligence officers and suddenly killed Junpei.
Now that it is clear, he looked at Kong Jie's confident face and comforted him: "Captain, don't worry, the Japs are still ten miles away. I just received a report from Wei Dayong. He is using mines to slow down the Japs' march. It will take more than an hour to reach the town."
outside!"
"I plan to rely on the defenses outside the town and let the little devils camp outside the town tonight!"
"As long as they stay here, I will be sure to hit them hard and defeat them!"
"But I just came up with a new idea. I think it's too cheap to beat the little devil like this. I want to give him a harder one. I hope you can agree!"
Kong Jie was convinced of Huang Yu's endless tricks and asked with expectation: "Be specific!"
Huang Yu found the Yizhong map and marked all the counties around Baoding that were under the jurisdiction of Baoding, and then said: "Captain, you just said that most of the little Japs who invaded the base area were recruited by the Japanese army from Baoding from surrounding counties!"
"If this number is 1,500 people, then at least 300 people will be transferred from the counties I marked, basically draining all the mobile troops in their hands!"
"Even Baoding has no mobile troops to mobilize!"
"If we severely injure the more than 3,000 Japanese who invaded the base area and kill them, the counties I marked will all fall into a dangerous situation of insufficient troops!"
"We take the opportunity to kill them. Even if we can't capture the county seat, we can still capture all the ordinary strongholds in the enemy-occupied areas with the cooperation of mountain artillery and infantry artillery, further consume their troops, seize a large amount of loot, and also disrupt the enemy-occupied areas!"
"One attacking force can kill a hundred Japs, and ten attacking troops can kill a thousand Japs!"
"If the Japanese army in Baoding loses another thousand people, they will be even less likely to attack us, and our training time will become longer and longer. Maybe we can take the opportunity to form one or two more garrison regiments!"
"When the main force of the regiment and several garrison groups have all formed combat effectiveness, even if the Japanese assemble a main force brigade to retaliate, we are not afraid!"
Kong Jie stared at the map in silence for a while before speaking: "This idea really reinforces the old saying: Crisis is also an opportunity!"
"If the war situation continues like this, we may really be able to use this crisis to completely transform ourselves!"
While he was speaking, Kong Jie's hands had already been clenched into fists.
He slammed it on the table hard and said firmly: "Done!"
"I will send a telegram to the chief of staff now... The main force of the regiment will temporarily stop training, and immediately form ten commandos of 150 people in company units to protect the artillery and reinforce Pingyang Town after dark!"
"Da da da... boom..."
A series of firefights suddenly sounded outside the village. Although it was a bit far away, Huang Yu could still hear it clearly.
He grabbed the telescope on the table and walked outside: "Captain...the little devil is coming to kill you!"
"I must enter the position immediately..."
"It's three o'clock in the morning now, and the garrison will have to wait for more than two hours to end the battle. It's too dangerous here. You'd better go into the bomb hole.
Kong Jie had never been a coward since he joined the army. The enemy was right in front of him, and it was even more impossible for him to leave the army and hide in a bomb-proof hole alone.
He shook his head and ordered: "I have experienced more dangerous battlefields... this battle is nothing!"
"You don't have to worry about me..."
When Huang Yu raised his telescope to observe the Japanese, Colonel Miyazawa also stood four hundred meters away to observe the blocking position.
The fortifications here are similar to those at Lizhuang, but Colonel Miyazawa did not despise this place because of this, and his expression became particularly serious.
Intelligence shows that the headquarters of the newly established Shunping Garrison Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is here.
According to convention, there must be more troops stationed at the regiment headquarters than in other garrison locations, and the fortifications must be stronger. The fortifications you see in front of you must be the illusion that the Eighth Route Army wants you to see.
There must be something else behind the illusion, but it has not been exposed yet. Colonel Miyazawa firmly believed in his own judgment and ordered while watching.
"Still the old rules, bombard with artillery first, then gather infantry to attack!"
"Contact the aviation force and send two planes over immediately to reinforce us... Go faster, I will not only level the blocking position, but also blow up all the enemy's hidden methods!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army made great progress and successfully captured the first battalion's security position and forward position.
At 4:50 in the afternoon, the Japanese offensive troops captured the main position of the first battalion.
As long as they continue their efforts and capture Pingyang Town, the Shunping garrison will be fatally attacked.
The serious expression on Colonel Miyazawa's face relaxed obviously, and he felt that he could sleep at the Junpei garrison headquarters tonight.
"Sir, the aviation force is sending an urgent message: It's getting dark and they can't continue to provide us with air support!" The radio operator suddenly appeared next to Colonel Miyazawa and looked at him with a respectful report.
"It's getting dark so quickly... I haven't fought enough yet?" Colonel Miyazawa said slightly dissatisfied.
But dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, and he was not dazzled by the victory in front of him. His face returned to the serious expression before, and he frowned and analyzed: "Without aircraft support, it will be difficult to destroy the tunnels in the village just relying on the artillery we brought!"
"If we launch an attack rashly, the Eighth Route Army can use those tunnels to sneak up on us and consume our troops. The fierce attack in the afternoon will become a war of attrition. This is not the way I want to fight!"
"There will be no fighting today... All troops will retreat two kilometers and establish camps based on favorable terrain. We will attack again tomorrow!"
The captain was anxious and reminded: "Sir, do you want to abandon the blocking position outside the town as well?"
"They were captured by low-ranking officials. The troops retreated two kilometers. The Eighth Route Army will definitely take advantage of the darkness to reoccupy it!"
"We have to attack again tomorrow. It's such a loss..."
"I suggest that the troops withdraw one kilometer... and then arrange for two squadrons to establish a defense line based on the blocking position, which will be at a diagonal with the station!"
"The Eighth Route Army was not only unable to take it back, but it would also cause a head-on collision and bloodshed on the battlefield!"
Colonel Miyazawa shook his head: "We must retreat two kilometers... All the blocking positions we took just now are also abandoned, and not a single soldier can be left!"
"Why?" the captain asked reluctantly.
"Because there are many tunnel entrances and exits on the battlefield that we don't know about!" Colonel Miyazawa explained calmly.
"Remember the South Korean village we passed on the way to attack?"
"That's where the Chief of Staff lost his first battle!"
"He has the same idea as you, deploying heavy troops to defend the blocking position to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking at night!"
"As a result, the Eighth Route Army entered the position directly through the tunnel and lurked under the nose of our army to launch an attack..."
"Our troops suffered a devastating blow before they even had time to deploy, and the entire army was destroyed!"
"In the battle of Shunping, the Eighth Route Army also penetrated into the county through tunnels and engaged in close combat and street fighting with our troops..."
"No one knows if the blocking position under our feet has any tunnels... If the Eighth Route Army plans to repeat its old tricks, no matter how many troops we deploy, we won't be able to hold it, and we will lose our wives and lose our troops!"
"As long as you keep your troops, if you lose your position, you'll lose it!"
"As soon as the plane arrives tomorrow, we can take it back at any time!"
The details of how the chief of staff was defeated are still kept secret. What Colonel Miyazawa said was the first time the captain heard it.
After being shocked, when I looked at the blocking position behind me, I not only lost the unwillingness just now, but also felt a little scared.
