The deputy commander-in-chief was very happy when he left.
Not only did he take away Huang Yu's tunnel warfare experience, he also took away funds worth half a million yuan.
Although they did not ask for weapons and ammunition, at the repeated request of Kong Jie and Huang Yu, all the security companies protecting them were equipped with double guns.
The bullet belts and grenade bags are filled with various ammunition, and several light machine guns are also added.
With their current level of firepower, it would be no problem to face off against a reinforced squadron of little devils.
…………
At the enemy headquarters of the Duer Regiment, Huang Yu is asking for help from Kong Jie. As the vanguard of the entire army, he will first go to Baoding to explore the way for everyone.
"Commander, I guarantee that there will be no uncertain battles after the troops enter enemy-occupied areas, and we will achieve maximum results at the minimum cost." Seeing that Kong Jie was still hesitating, Huang Yu once again expressed his promise.
"I absolutely trust you when it comes to fighting!" Kong Jie shook his head and replied, indicating that this was not the issue he was worried about.
"Enemy-occupied areas are different from base areas. There are spies everywhere."
"When Lao Li led the team to raid Baoding, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops were sweeping us away from the base area, and there were insufficient troops in the rear, so he took advantage of a loophole and escaped unscathed."
"The situation is different now."
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding is tens of thousands. If they are exposed, you will not even have a chance to retreat."
"It's better to wait for a while and wait until the troops become a little stronger. The special operations team can successfully cut off all phone calls in Baoding."
"Arrange some armed workers teams to go deep into enemy-occupied areas, knock out some Japanese and puppet spy agents, and then the troops advance into Baoding. This will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but is also very safe."
Huang Yu shook his head and objected: "It will be too late by then!"
"Captain..."
"We are regaining our strength and growing stronger."
"The Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding are also recovering and developing."
"They have an adequate logistical support system and a steady stream of additional troops joining the army. Their development speed is definitely much faster than ours."
"The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us."
"If you act now, you will be more powerful."
"You can rest assured about safety."
"With the special operations team in place, they will definitely be able to take out the eyes and communication systems of the Japanese and puppet troops as soon as possible, turning them blind and unable to find the real hiding place of the Junping garrison."
"How to solve the problem of military strength?" Kong Jie then asked another question.
"There are only about 300 people left in the Shunping garrison, and one third are artillery."
"Including the seriously injured people who have recovered and returned to the team, there are only about 500 to 600 people."
"According to the method you proposed with the deputy commander-in-chief, we will replenish one-half of the total strength of the army with new recruits at one time, ensuring that one new recruit is accompanied by two veterans."
"There are only eight or nine hundred people in total."
"How effective can it be to lead this small force deep into the tiger's den?"
"Maybe we won't even be able to fight for reinforcements."
"I'm not against you going to Baoding, but I think you have too few troops, and any accident may bring a devastating blow to you."
"Other troops in the base area also suffered heavy losses, and there are no troops available to reinforce the Junping garrison."
"Otherwise I would have nodded long ago."
Li Yunlong never engages in loss-making business, and he also feels that Huang Yu's trip is full of risks.
He said directly with a worried expression: "Xiao Huang..."
"The troops in your hand are too few, and there are still one-third new recruits. The combat effectiveness is reduced instead of increased."
"In case of an accident, we don't even have the strength to break out."
"I also agree with Lao Kong's proposal."
"Wait until the troops are a little more stable before attacking..."
Not only was the confidence on Huang Yu's face not affected, but it was getting stronger and stronger. Looking at the two of them, they both said arrogantly.
"Captain, Commander Li..."
"It's not that I look down on the little devil."
"Even if the Shunping garrison only has five or six hundred people, an infantry brigade is no match for us, and it is impossible to kill us."
"The mountain artillery and mortars equipped in the regiment are not vegetarian."
"There are also more than ten flying thunder cannons."
"If we touch the Japs and launch a sudden attack, a full infantry brigade can be destroyed by us."
"The principles on which I fight are simple."
"Try to use artillery to deal with enemies that can be dealt with by artillery."
"If the artillery can't solve the problem, let the infantry come in."
"Except for Baoding County, there are almost no Japanese troops stationed in enemy-occupied areas exceeding one brigade within a hundred miles."
"As long as Baoding City is defeated, I won't pay any attention to the Japanese and puppet troops in other places."
"To be honest, I'm afraid they won't come out when we get to Baoding."
"If Baoding gathered a large number of troops to besiege us, I would have fled long ago. Only a fool would stay there and wait to die."
Seeing that Huang Yu still insisted on attacking, Kong Jie racked his brains and couldn't think of any other reason for refusal, so he could only nod in agreement.
"I will assign a platoon from the cavalry company to you, and you will have to rely on yourself for other problems."
…………
At the Japanese Brigade Headquarters in Baoding, Major General Fujita was sitting in the position that should have belonged to Major General Kawasaki, high-spirited and in a very good mood.
At the same time, I am also full of expectations for my future.
The Kwantung Army headquarters already knew about its defeat in Yi Zhong.
But considering that this battle was personally commanded by Okamura Neiji, he became the biggest contributor to this big sweep because he found a way to crack the tunnel warfare.
Not only was he not punished, but he received a lot of commendations.
The Kwantung Army headquarters also promised to give him 5,000 additional troops to rebuild the mixed brigade.
If he could avenge his humiliation during the second sweep of the Yi Zhong base, he would not be far away from being promoted to division commander.
It's so pleasant to sip fragrant tea while looking forward to the future.
"General..."
The communications officer who suddenly ran over brought him back to reality.
Although Major General Fujita felt unhappy, he still pretended to be happy: "What's going on?"
"An urgent call from the Front Army Headquarters..."
"Recently, a large amount of military supplies will travel south from Baoding via railways and highways, requiring us to ensure the safety of the transportation and supply lines going south."
Major General Fujita had never stayed in North China, and he looked puzzled after hearing the order.
Major General Kawasaki was very dissatisfied with Major General Fujita taking his position, but when he thought that he was just a day laborer and would leave sooner or later, he felt much better.
He quickly stood up and explained: "Fujita-kun."
"Baoding is not only an important military town in the Yizhong Plain, but also an important transportation thoroughfare."
"Many supplies going south from Tianjin have to go here."
"If there is an accident on the transportation and supply lines in Baoding, there will be problems with the ammunition supply of many units of the North China Front."
"We have stationed a large number of troops along the railways and roads for this purpose."
"There are checkpoints and artillery towers almost every five kilometers, and a military station every twenty kilometers, stationed with one to two squadrons of mobile troops. Enemies who want to destroy communication lines can be eliminated at any time."
"Baoding City will also deploy one or two infantry brigades as reserve teams in case of emergencies."
"This major sweep of the Baoding garrison resulted in heavy casualties. The original reserve team had an accident and must be re-established."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
