Kong Jie said it was a lie if he said he was not envious.
In the battle of Baoding, Li Yunlong commanded the only regiment to advance into Baoding City first, successfully captured the Baoding garrison headquarters, and killed the commander, Major General Kawasaki.
Tonight's ambush battle, the only regiment was lucky again. Not only did they wipe out the largest number of enemies, they also killed a Japanese Major General brigade leader.
In Li Yunlong's place, the commander of the Major General Brigade seems to be worthless, and he can kill one if he wants.
But envy was envy, and he was still very happy for the results achieved by his old comrades.
Then he turned his attention to Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang..."
"The leader of the Japs Brigade was killed by Lao Li, and there are not many Japs left in the pocket formation. We have won the ambush tonight."
"Next, should we retreat to the base area, or continue to rely on Baoding to fight against the Kwantung Army moving south? Do you have any ideas?"
Li Yunlong was completely impressed by Huang Yu's commanding methods, but he just refused to admit defeat and did not say it out loud.
As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, he chased Huang Yu and asked, "I also want to hear your thoughts first."
"Your mind works faster, your vision is wider than ours, and your courage is greater than ours. You can always think of some unexpected ways to play."
"The Kwantung Army going south is different from the little Japs we fought before. If you want to defeat them, sometimes you really need to be surprised."
"If you have any ideas, just say it. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. Don't be afraid."
Huang Yu knew that the two regiment leaders were telling the truth, so he said bluntly: "I think the troops should stop when they are ready."
"We took action to kill a reinforced brigade of the Kwantung Army and gave Neji Okamura a hard slap in the face."
"Not only has that old devil Okamura Neji been angered again, but it has also made him pay more attention to our strength."
"With Neji Okamura's cautious character, he will definitely not make the same mistake twice."
"Rather than continue to stay in Baoding and deal with Okamura Neji, fighting a battle with almost no chance of winning."
"It is better to retreat to the base area, seize the time to repair, replenish the troops, and then use the huge tunnel fortifications in the base area to wait for work, and severely defeat the Kwantung Army's second round of sweeps against the Yizhong base area."
"I also prepared a big gift for Okamura Neji in Baoding City."
"As long as he successfully receives it, it will be no problem to kill another two to three thousand Kwantung Army."
"Excluding the troops who will stay in Baoding in the future, the Kwantung Army that Okamura Neiji will use to sweep the Yizhong base will never exceed 35,000 people."
"Based on the fact that there are seven counties under its jurisdiction, the Japanese will have to pay a price for every county they capture. After winning, they will have to divide their troops for defense. We will count each county as a thousand people."
"When they take down all seven counties, our total strength will be reduced to 28,000."
"The several tunnel fortifications that the Japanese army must pass through are not vegetarian."
"The Kwantung Army has just arrived and has not seen the power of tunnel warfare. It will definitely spend money to learn lessons during the raids."
"We calculate based on the loss of 1,500 people when the Japanese army captured a tunnel fortification. We can't take down all these tunnel fortifications even if we lose 12,000 people."
"The Kwantung Army that swept us will be reduced sharply to 16,000 people."
"The troops must be divided into two or three groups to sweep the Yizhong base area from different directions."
"There are only 5,000 to 8,000 troops left in each sweep."
"We will kill more than 8,000 elite members of the Nakamura brigade in a few hours tonight. Do you think Neji Amamura has the guts to let the remaining troops of the mopping up troops continue to operate in our base area?"
Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle and objected firmly: "I definitely don't dare."
"Okamura Neji is also a face-saving person."
"The 50,000 Kwantung Army troops were seconded by him at a huge cost."
"I absolutely don't have the guts to let all 50,000 Kwantung Army soldiers be destroyed in North China."
"Don't talk about 15,000 or 6,000 people. As long as the Kwantung Army marching south is reduced to 25,000 people, I guess Okamura Neji will not dare to continue fighting with us."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Kong Jie: "Old Kong, I think Xiao Huang's proposal is feasible..."
"Let's not go to so much trouble and just do as he says."
"There is no need to disband the current former enemy headquarters."
"When he returns to the base area, Xiao Huang will continue to be in charge of the former enemy headquarters and coordinate all participating troops in the base area."
"I will continue to lead the troops to confront the Japanese on the front lines."
Kong Jie immediately interrupted: "I have no objection to Xiao Huang continuing to be in charge of the former enemy headquarters."
"But you, Li Yunlong, don't even think about being lazy."
"They are all regiment leaders, and they still want to go to the front line to fight the Japanese every day."
"I forgot how you came to Yi Zhong Base."
"The chief made it very clear in his telegram that the two of us are the main focus of this counter-sweep."
"Xiao Huang is in charge of the former enemy headquarters. The two of us cannot be idle. One person must stay at the headquarters to keep an eye on Xiao Huang."
"If anything happens, we'll have to keep an eye on it. We can't let Xiao Huangding get in front, right?"
Li Yunlong didn't want to miss this opportunity to face-to-face with Okamura Neji, so he quickly expressed his thoughts: "Isn't there a radio station here?"
"Xiao Huang usually solves things by himself. If you have any difficult problems, send us a telegram and we can solve them together."
"Ningji Okamura has assembled tens of thousands of Kwantung troops to sweep away the Yizhong base area. If they attack as a group, it will be a waste of troops. It will also be easy for us to escape from the encirclement and miss the enemy."
"There will be no such problems if we divide our forces to carry out raids."
"The devils have to divide their troops, and we must also divide our troops."
"We are divided into two, and one of us can command three or four regiments."
To put it bluntly: Apart from the two of us, there is no one else in the entire Yi Zhong base who is qualified to command three or four main regiments at the same time. If we don't take over, no one will take over.
Kong Jie was actually persuaded by Li Yunlong's lies, and could not find any reason to object for a while.
And he also prefers to stay on the front line and command operations, rather than staying at the enemy's headquarters where he can't even see the battlefield and can only listen to reports.
Following Li Yunlong's reasoning, he answered: "You are right."
"Except for Xiao Huang, we are the only two leaders in the Yi Zhong Base who can convince the several regiment leaders who came for reinforcements."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Yu also wanted to go to the battlefield, but the official rank was overwhelming. No matter how much he objected, he could not win over the two regiment leaders. He could only say with an aggrieved face: "As long as you agree, I have no objection..."
Kong Jie continued: "Retreat, retreat, if we just leave without caring about anything and let Okamura Neji easily enter Baoding, that would be too cheap for me."
"Xiao Huang... Is there any way you can make things difficult for him?"
Huang Yu thought for a while and replied: "Shunping garrison will stay with me, and all other troops will withdraw to the base."
"But you have to leave me a thousand more mortar shells to ensure that Okamura Neji takes back Baoding with pain and joy, and allows them to enter Baoding. Every step forward will cost a huge price."
"When Neji Okamura completely captures Baoding, I will lead the Junpei garrison back to the base."
