Chapter 714 Li Yunlong: Big trouble (first update)
There is no regret medicine in the world.
A defeat is a defeat, and Major General Kawasaki must accept this fact no matter how unwilling he is.
The index finger of his right hand was tapping on the table with inertia, his brows were furrowed and he was deep in thought, without saying a word for a long time.
The atmosphere in the war room immediately became depressing, and everyone was doing what they were doing carefully, fearing that they might accidentally disturb the brigade commander and get themselves burned.
"chief of staff……"
After three minutes passed like this, Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang suddenly raised his eyebrows, stared at Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang and began to issue orders.
"The Front Army Headquarters gave us three more infantry brigades, but one of them had an accident before they arrived in Baoding for rescue."
"We only have three brigades of mobile troops left to patrol the railways."
"The length of the railway remains unchanged and the number of patrol teams decreases, so the railway section allocated to each patrol team will become longer."
"In case any outposts or strongholds are attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the patrol team's time to rush to the battlefield will be increased by half an hour."
"It doesn't seem long, but it's enough for the Eighth Route Army to do a lot of things."
It was a rare occasion for Major General Fujita to see a joke from Major General Kawasaki, and it also gave him a taste of being slapped in the face. He suddenly interjected: "Hurry up, half an hour is enough for the Eighth Route Army to blow up several kilometers of railway."
"Just repairing it will take several days, and that doesn't include the damage caused by the bombing of the Eighth Route Army while we repaired it."
"There are a lot of supplies traveling south by rail, and we must not interrupt them for more than two days."
Seeing Major General Fujita's burning eyes, Major General Kawasaki was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
It was the same way when I saw Fujita's joke. It was impossible to just allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps.
The only way is to solve this problem and slap Major General Fujita back at him.
Pretending to be calm, he smiled at Major General Fujita and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Fujita."
"I will definitely not let the Eighth Route Army have an extra half hour."
After saying that, he looked at Lieutenant Colonel Cun and asked, "How many cavalry units are there in the Baoding garrison?"
"One brigade after another, a total of more than five hundred cavalry..." Lieutenant Commander Cun said with numerous treasures.
"Let them join the patrol..." Major General Kawasaki made a prompt decision.
"Establish a special mobile force."
"Using their considerable maneuverability to patrol along rail lines."
"No matter which stronghold along the line is attacked, the cavalry brigade will attack first, and the nearest patrol will follow up."
Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang's eyes lit up after a little analysis: "The general is wise."
"Cavalry is fast."
"No matter if any stronghold is attacked, wherever they patrol, they can reach the battlefield within an hour."
"It's enough to offset the increased time of the patrol."
Major General Kawasaki continued: "The Imperial Army and the special agents in the city should not be idle either."
"They are locals and know the topography and landforms along the railway better."
"Let them search for the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, and the effect will be doubled."
…………
At the Shunping garrison headquarters, Li Yunlong started cursing as soon as he entered the door.
"You little devil, I didn't expect that I, Li Yunlong, would be bitten by a dog one day..."
"What's going on?" Kong Jie immediately showed a worried expression.
He and Li Yunlong fought over each other, but they both wished each other well.
When he heard Li Yunlong complaining, he thought something had happened to Duyi Tuan and asked quickly.
"The little devils set up an ambush on the military columns..." Li Yunlong replied.
"A whole replenishment brigade was ambushed in the stuffy tank car."
"The soldiers rushed up and suddenly opened the carriage and launched a counterattack at close range with light and heavy machine guns."
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and allowed the troops to retreat in time."
"Otherwise the entire Duyi Group will be wiped out."
"The little devil didn't get any favors either."
"I, Li Yunlong, are not easy to take advantage of."
"When the Japanese are victorious and their vigilance is greatly reduced, lead the troops to kill them and turn around."
"Except for the more than a hundred Japanese who took advantage of the chaos to break out, the remaining eight or nine hundred people were all eaten by me."
At the end of his speech, the indignant expression on Li Yunlong's face turned into excitement, and he said proudly.
"We, Lao Li, never do business at a loss when fighting against Japanese invaders."
"This time is no exception."
"The Japanese will first capture the single regiment and one battalion, then I will turn around and wipe out their entire infantry brigade."
"Let's see if they dare to continue playing tricks on me in the future."
Kong Jie and Huang Yu looked at each other, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on their faces.
Li Yunlong cursed people when he came in, and they thought there was an accident in Duyi Tuan.
It turned out to be a foreshadowing for Li Yunlong's boasting.
The more miserable he is at the beginning, the more capable he will appear later.
Kong Jie interrupted without hesitation: "Li Yunlong, aren't you just a little devil from the brigade? Let's see what you can do."
"We have been fighting against the Japs for so many years. We have even fought against the main divisions. You are so happy just to kill an infantry brigade. When did your kid's appetite become so small?"
Li Yunlong was surprised that he didn't compete with Kong Jie.
San San smiled and said, "It's not that my appetite has decreased, it's just that I'm too happy."
"The Solitary Regiment has just been established, and the new soldiers have not yet formed combat effectiveness. They ate up an infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers in one go."
"When the main battalions have all formed combat effectiveness, we will face off against the Japs in the future, and it will be easy to kill an infantry regiment."
"How about you over there? We captured several strongholds and outposts in one night."
"One stronghold, three outposts..." Kong Jie replied with a smile.
"Although I didn't kill as many little devils as you, I definitely captured more trophies than you did."
"There are more than 100,000 rounds of bullets and more than 300 mortar shells."
"The key is that the casualties of the troops are small."
"In total, only 57 soldiers were killed in the four critical battles, and 11 were seriously injured."
"I suggest that we mainly attack the strongholds and posts along the railway and highway tonight, destroy the railway line, and completely interrupt the southbound railway."
"Let's stop fighting the military columns for the time being."
"The only regiment encountered an infantry brigade ambush tonight."
"Maybe the next battle will be an ambush between two infantry brigades."
"Our foundation is weak and we cannot withstand too much loss."
"If you act rashly, you may lose all your money if you are fooled."
While the two were talking, Huang Yu kept studying the map with a frown. Kong Jie was the first to realize something was wrong and immediately asked: "Xiao Huang..."
"Did you find something..."
Huang Yu nodded and replied: "The little Japs encountered by the Duyi Regiment were not from the Baoding garrison..."
"I suggest we suspend operations tonight."
"First find out the tactics used by the Baoding garrison to deal with us, and then determine the next course of action."
Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's expressions all changed, especially Li Yunlong, who stared at Huang Yu and asked seriously.
"Are you sure the kid I killed was not sent by the Baoding garrison?"
Huang Yu answered firmly: "Baoding is in the south."
"You raided the military columns in the north, and the military columns also came from the north."
"No matter how powerful the Baoding garrison is, they will never appear on a military column heading south to Baoding."
Kong Jie immediately reacted and analyzed with a frown: "Then the trouble will be big."
"If these devils come from Peiping and Baoding."
"Proof that Okamura Neji is replenishing troops for the Baoding garrison."
"The brigade that the only regiment killed may have been just the vanguard, or it may have been all the troops in Peiping to supplement Baoding."
"Until we understand the true strength of the Baoding garrison, any oversight will bring us disaster."
"We must stand still and wait for the little devil to make his move first, and then we will attack him later."
…………
Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping.
Okamura Neji was very angry. He clenched his fists so hard that his veins were exposed. He wanted to smash everything on the table in front of him.
I took several deep breaths before forcing myself to calm down.
He picked up the telegram sent by Major General Kawasaki again, read it again and said: "A fully formed troop brigade was wiped out by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army before it entered Baoding."
"This is definitely a great shame and humiliation for the North China Front Army."
"The Eighth Route Army in the Wing..."
"I, Okamura Neji, swear that I will wipe them all out in the next big sweep."
"The other two brigades will go south immediately."
"If the troops are also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, they can only rely on railways and military trains to wait for help, and they must not take the initiative to attack."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the chief of staff: "How many cavalry do we still have?"
"Two brigades, more than 900 cavalry..." The chief of staff did not dare to cause displeasure to the commander at this time, so he quickly answered.
"Immediately dispatch a brigade to reinforce Baoding..." Okamura Neji made a decision after hearing this.
"The Baoding garrison only has five cavalry squadrons..."
"The Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong is too cunning."
"I'm afraid this little cavalry isn't enough to fill their teeth."
"With a thousand cavalry patrolling along the railway, it will take a lot of effort for the Eighth Route Army in the Wing to eat them."
"Other patrols can take the opportunity to surround us and annihilate the Eighth Route Army along the railway."
…………
At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Major General Kawasaki smiled as soon as he received a call back from Neji Okamura.
Before, he was worried that Okamura Neiji would be angry with him and take away the position of commander of the Baoding garrison under his butt, but now he doesn't need to be afraid.
Although the telegram didn't say it clearly, the sudden appearance of a cavalry brigade as reinforcements showed that the commander still supported him.
No matter what I say this time, I can no longer live up to the commander's high expectations and let the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong play tricks.
He ran to the city gate in person to see the patrol off.
Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang stood aside as the commentator.
"General..."
"In order to increase the patrol's maneuvering speed and firepower allocation."
"I reinforced each infantry brigade with a transport squadron."
"With one hundred and fifty mules and horses."
"The heavy weapons and ammunition in the team are all transported by mules and horses."
"After receiving the reinforcement order, the patrol team can turn around and be on its way without any preparation."
"The cavalry force has nine cavalry squadrons, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mu."
"Activities around Guanjiapu..."
"It is located in the center of our military defense area. No matter which stronghold or checkpoint is attacked, they can rush to the battlefield within fifty minutes."
"The terrain along the railway is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry assaults."
"If you can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, you can also hold them back so that they don't dare to break out casually, otherwise they will be mercilessly hunted by the cavalry troops.
