Chapter 670 Li Yunlong is frustrated (second update)
"Commander of the brigade, the aviation force has an urgent call..." As Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang was getting more and more embarrassed, the radio operator suddenly ran over.
"They found a large number of Eighth Route Army troops two kilometers northwest of Wangdu, with a total strength of more than 600 people. They were evacuating Wangdu County in squad and platoon units."
"Nani..." Major General Kawasaki stared at the operator and quickly turned his attention to the operator, asking with disbelief on his face.
"What else did the airman say?"
"They suspected that these Eighth Route Army troops had withdrawn from Wangdu County. They wanted to launch an attack from the sky, but they were too scattered and quickly rushed into the valleys on both sides of the road and disappeared from the battlefield."
Major General Kawasaki's face slowly turned pale. Faced with the ironclad facts, he had no choice but to admit that he had been deceived.
Looking at the completely destroyed Wangdu County in front of him, he said with regret: "Bageya Road, we were fooled."
"The Duer Regiment is not in Wangdu City, our opponent only has one garrison regiment."
"If we send troops into the city when the Third Battalion is attacked, we can not only rescue the Third Battalion, but also take the opportunity to annihilate the entire Watchtower Guard Group... Why didn't I act impulsively at that time?"
I regret saving him as Lieutenant Commander more than Major General Kawasaki.
He was the first to suggest that there was an Eighth Route Army ambush in the city. Facts have proved that all ambushes and conspiracies were his imagination.
Now that the entire Third Battalion has been wiped out, the Eighth Route Army garrison defending Wangdu County has successfully withdrawn from the battlefield. If Nei Okamura wanted to find someone to take the blame, he would definitely be the first choice.
But there is no regret in the world. As a mid- to senior-level commander, he must be responsible for what he has done.
The whole person instantly aged several years, and the previous high-spiritedness, commanding the country, and the arrogance of being the chief of staff of the brigade...all disappeared without a trace.
Major General Kawasaki regretted it, but he did not forget his duty. After a minute of silence, he began to give orders: "The troops will search Wangdu County again, blow up all tunnels, and then enter the city to camp after confirming safety."
"Immediately call back to the Commander: The Eighth Route Army that is guarding Wangdu County only has a garrison regiment, not an independent regiment."
"More than 600 remaining members of the Wangdu Defense Regiment have evacuated the county through tunnels."
"Our unit plans to repair in Wangdu County overnight, leaving all the wounded and part of the baggage ammunition, and continue to sweep the Yizhong base tomorrow."
"Commander, please reply to Mr. Fujita. The left mopping up force has captured Wangdu County. The battle is over. Please ask the middle mopping up force to continue encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army's Yizhong Base Area according to the original mopping up plan."
After saying that, he sat down on the ammunition box, as if the order just now had exhausted all his strength.
…………
At the Baoding Japanese Brigade Headquarters, after learning that his joy was in vain, Okamura Neji was angered again and dropped several vases before he calmed down.
Walking to the sand table, he analyzed with a serious look on his face: "One garrison regiment destroyed two infantry brigades of the left sweep force. Such a battle loss ratio is too shocking."
"This is only the loss caused by the garrison to our army."
"If their most powerful Duer Regiment takes action, accidents may occur to any troops mopping up the troops along the way."
"We must find the traces of the Duer Regiment as soon as possible."
"Intelligence department, reconnaissance force, aviation force, all come to me."
"Thousands of troops and more than a dozen field guns cannot disappear out of thin air. There must be some place that we have overlooked and have not looked for."
The deputy chief of staff nodded to express his understanding, but did not leave immediately. Looking at the commander with a serious face, he asked: "Then do we want to change the raid plan we are executing?"
Okamura Neji shook his head: "No need."
"Although the left-wing mopping up troops defeated two infantry brigades, their opponent the Wangdu garrison also paid a heavy price. There are still more than 600 people in the regiment, and they have almost lost their combat effectiveness."
"Except for the Duer Regiment, the Wangdu Defense Regiment itself can no longer threaten their safety."
"As long as the troops strengthen their vigilance in the next operation and do not give the Du Er Regiment an opportunity, they will be fine."
"There are three infantry brigades and one regiment of the Royal Association Army in the middle route mopping up force. The Shunping garrison that blocked them also suffered heavy casualties, and there is no problem with their safety."
"Although the right-wing mopping up troops are outnumbered, the losses are minimal and safety is no problem."
"The sooner we discover the traces of the Duer Regiment, the sooner the mopping up troops can encircle them and annihilate them together."
"If we can't find it, we can only rely on the central mopping up troops to successfully raid Chenzhuang, block the only way for the Du Er Regiment to enter the mountain, and find a way to annihilate them outside the mountain."
…………
Before Li Yunlong arrived at the enemy headquarters of the Second Regiment of Chenzhuang, voices could already be heard coming in.
"Kong Er is stupid, I, Li Yunlong, am back..."
"Hahaha... The battle in Wangdu was so exciting. The two infantry brigades, our old Li, were wiped out by the Wangdu garrison with a wave of his hand."
"If it weren't for the heavy losses of the troops and insufficient strength, I would still want to swallow up another infantry brigade there."
"What do you think you can do?" Kong Jie said angrily.
"Xiao Huang killed three thousand little Japs in Taipingzhuang, and even the Kwantung Army, which is said to be the most powerful Japanese army, didn't even remember being so arrogant. How embarrassing for you."
"I don't want to compete with that genius Xiao Huang..." Li Yunlong shook his head and walked into the headquarters.
Staring at Kong Jie, he asked: "Why did you call me back all the way? The left sweep force had just been killed by two brigades by the Wangdu garrison, and their morale was low. I was just about to strike while the iron was hot and try to find a way to bite off another piece of fat from them.
, and then you called me back, and I had to put the troops into repair mode."
Huang Yu also turned his attention to Kong Jie.
He had just arrived at the headquarters not long ago, and he still didn't know the specific reason why the regiment leader asked him to come back.
"Big thing..." Kong Jie's face suddenly became very serious and he pointed at the map.
"According to the original battle plan, our decisive battle target is to mop up the troops on the right. Picking the weak one allows us to kill the mopping up troops along the way at the minimum cost, cut off one of their fingers, and then retreat from the base area before the remaining two mopping up troops.
"
"As a result, the situation on the battlefield changed too quickly, and the two of you were so good at fighting that the middle mopping up force, which was originally the strongest, became the weakest."
"I decided to change the target of the decisive battle to mopping up the troops in the middle."
"Swallowing the Kwantung Army, the most powerful of the Japs, in one gulp will definitely scare the shit out of the other two mopping up troops."
"If you think there is no problem, then I will ask Huang Qi to strengthen the blocking force, slow down the attack speed of the Japanese and puppet troops on the right, and buy time for us to gather and wipe out the mopping up troops in the middle."
"The mopping up troops on the left are also mainly focused on blocking. If we encounter a good opportunity, it will definitely be better if we can kill more Japanese and puppet troops."
"Xiao Huang will find a way to kill another thousand puppet troops here, and I will be 80% sure to wipe out the troops in the middle of Chenzhuang's total annihilation."
Li Yunlong took a serious look at Kong Jie and made sure that he was not joking with him. He had to admit that Kong Jie had changed a lot compared to a year ago.
People say that Li Yunlong is very courageous. Compared with Kong Jie, his little courage is nothing.
When he was the commander of the regiment in northwestern Shanxi, he had the honor to fight against the Kwantung Army. A reinforced battalion faced an infantry squadron of the Kwantung Army. They fought for two hours but could not break the bone. In the end, they had to push back temporarily to end the battle.
For an army, an increase in strength means a geometric increase in overall combat effectiveness.
If a reinforced battalion can fight against a squadron of the Kwantung Army, and if it wants to fight against a full infantry brigade of the Kwantung Army, both regiments may not be enough.
And now the Kwantung Army facing the Yizhong base area had a brigade, and Kong Jie actually wanted to swallow them all in one go. He was really very courageous.
He stared at Kong Jie for a while and then asked: "You idiot Kong, you didn't lie to me. You really intend to keep this brigade of the Kwantung Army."
"Of course..." Kong Jie replied firmly.
"It's rare to encounter the Kwantung Army once, and there is still a chance to annihilate them all. You can't miss it at any time."
"Our Eighth Route Army will fight to the Northeast sooner or later. At that time, all we will face is the Kwantung Army. We just take this opportunity to practice our skills and accumulate some experience with the Kwantung Army."
"Maybe when we march into the Northeast in the future, the Duer Regiment will be able to become the vanguard."
"March into the Northeast?" Li Yunlong was once again stunned by Kong Jie's answer.
I am still thinking about returning to northwest Shanxi to become the leader of a new regiment. Kong Jie has already thought of marching into the northeast. This vision alone cannot match his overall view.
At this moment, Li Yunlong finally felt the gap between himself and Kong Jie.
I didn’t know before without comparing, but now I find out after comparing: For more than a year, Kong Jie has continued to grow, learn, and make progress in the war, but he himself has stayed in the same place.
Kong Jie was no longer the stupid young man he used to be. Seeing Li Yunlong staring at him in shock, he knew that he was frightened by the words "enter the Northeast." He immediately replied: "I do have the idea of entering the Northeast."
"Even if the general headquarters has no plans in this regard for the time being, I would like to try it myself. Anyway, the Yizhong base area is not very far to the northeast."
"Ningji Okamura can mobilize troops from the northeast to reinforce Baoding and encircle and suppress us."
"We can also send troops to penetrate into the Northeast and develop in the Northeast."
"The Peiping Guerrilla Brigade is the best example. Maybe we can also set up a guerrilla brigade in the Northeast in the future."
"I won't go into the digression. Let's get back to the point. Do you have any ideas about changing the goal of the decisive battle? If you don't have any objections, we will implement it immediately."
Huang Yu spoke first: "I have no objection..."
"The Japanese and puppet army's middle-road mopping up troops have occupied Shunping. They will definitely place the wounded there and leave some troops to defend the city.",
"The Shunping garrison is lurking near the county seat. When the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops moves away, they will rush into the county seat through the tunnels, retake Shunping, and kill the remaining Japanese troops."
"No matter what we do in this battle, we can kill four to five hundred Japanese puppet troops."
"The tunnel fortifications in Pingyang Town are very good and the town is big enough. It's no problem to have a street fight with the Japs. It's also a battlefield I set up for the Japs."
"Although the Shunping garrison suffered heavy losses and its troops are a bit insufficient, relying on the tunnels, it will definitely be no problem to kill the puppet troops in the 700-800th day."
