In the independent regiment meeting room, at the request of the brigade commander, Kong Jie once again explained how the independent regiment captured Yangquan County and how to kill the Fujiwara brigade.
Hearing everyone's admiration, Li Yunlong was also surprised. He didn't expect that such a dangerous battle was won by Kong Jie, which showed that Kong Jie's commanding ability far exceeded his imagination...
He couldn't help but think of what the brigade commander once said to himself: Kong Jie studies and improves every day, and his strength has long been different from what it used to be. Unlike you who gnaw on your laurels every day and always feel that you are the best in the world. If this continues, sooner or later
They will all be outdone by Kong Jie!"
At that time, I didn't care much, thinking that the brigade commander would speak for Kong Jie again...
Kong Erluzi only has that little ability, no matter how much he studies, he can't get much better...
From the analysis of the battle in front of me, I did see something wrong, and I even couldn't see through Kong Jie.
He strategizes in action, makes decisions when the opportunity arises, and acts boldly... This is completely different from the stupid Kong Er that he knows.
If Kong Jie hadn't been standing right in front of him, Li Yunlong wouldn't have believed that this great victory would have anything to do with Kong Jie.
"Okay, let's stop discussing this!" Seeing several regiment commanders whispering to each other about this victory, the brigade commander suddenly spoke.
"After the meeting, I will ask Kong Jie to write a battle report of the entire operation and distribute it to all cadres above the battalion in the brigade. Then everyone will discuss this matter!"
"Now let's get back to business and start what you are most looking forward to: dividing the spoils!"
"After discussing with the chief of staff, I decided to use half of the food, weapons and ammunition to support the headquarters, and keep the remaining food, weapons and ammunition to divide among myself!"
"Each main force regiment was allocated 50,000 kilograms of grain, 250 Hanyang-made rifles, five light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, two mortars, 100,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, and 5,000 hand grenades and hand grenades,
Three hundred mortar shells, one hundred shells for each of the infantry and mountain artillery guns, forget it if you don’t have any!”
"Add some more baggage mules and horses to each regiment, and make up the number of mules and horses in each regiment's baggage company to 300!"
Li Yunlong's face instantly lit up with joy. With the weapons and ammunition distributed by the brigade commander, the New Second Regiment could not only raise the recruit camp, but also replenish the artillery company to full strength...
Not to mention 100,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, enough for the troops to fight several major battles...
The brigade commander continued: "Kong Jie also captured three armored vehicles in Yangquan. I plan to set up an armored platoon in the independent regiment. After you return, you will immediately dispatch ten more clever soldiers to report to the armored platoon and learn to drive armored vehicles and personnel carriers!
"
"From now on, if you seize armored vehicles and troop carriers, they can be used by me. Don't blow them up like before. It's too wasteful!"
"The independent regiment is going to form an armored platoon..." Li Yunlong became jealous after hearing this.
"Brigadier Commander, you can't favor one over another... Don't you have three armored vehicles? Why are they all equipped with independent regiments... Why don't you share one with me..."
"Shut up!" the brigade commander cursed unceremoniously!
"You think the armored vehicle is a light and heavy machine gun. Anyone can use it... If I give it to the New Second Regiment, no one will know how to use it!"
"Besides, the armored vehicles were captured by Kong Jie. You have already taken so many weapons and ammunition, and you still want those armored vehicles. How can you be so shameless?"
"This matter is settled. The armored vehicles will be left in the independent regiment to form an armored platoon. Don't be jealous and go to the Japanese to seize the armored vehicles yourself!"
"But I must remind you one thing: Although armored vehicles are very powerful, they are also very dependent on roads. Once equipped, they will seriously affect our mobility. So everyone must clearly see the pros and cons, and don't be too superstitious about armored vehicles!
"
Li Yunlong had no choice but to give up the idea of asking for armored vehicles, and suddenly had an idea and continued to ask: "Brigadier Commander, can I ask how much of the spoils the independent regiment will share?"
"There's nothing to hide!" the brigade commander replied readily.
"The independent regiment received twice as much loot as you..."
"Yangquan was captured by the Independent Regiment, Fujiwara Brigade was also killed by the Independent Regiment, and the loot you shared was also captured by the Independent Regiment. I think the spoils they shared twice as much are less!"
"But Comrade Kong Jie thinks it's enough, so I have no objection... You should all have no objections, right?"
Li Yunlong was jealous again, but this time he did not raise any objection.
If there was no independent group, they wouldn't be able to get a single bullet. Even if the independent group took away half of the weapons and ammunition, he would still be convinced.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the ammunition Kong Jie actually got was four times more than they did.
Half of the ammunition was not included in the list of trophies, and the brigade commander did not even mention it. It was considered an implicit benefit given by the brigade headquarters to the independent regiment...
At the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka is still confused to this day, feeling that the supplies, weapons and ammunition lost in Yangquan have been destroyed by the aviation force.
After the Third Battalion's disguised transportation team was discovered by the Japanese, Yoshio Shinozuka sent out all the aviation forces in Shanxi. Each plane flew three times, bombing in turn, and bombed all the forests where the Third Battalion had been...
Four to five hundred of various aerial bombs were used, as well as dozens of more powerful incendiary bombs...
As long as the Eighth Route Army transport team is really hiding on that mountain road, it will definitely be blown to pieces.
No weapons and ammunition were seized to replenish losses, and three main regiments were crippled in the Lijiapo battle, resulting in a large loss of weapons and ammunition...
The First Army lost two infantry brigades and all weapons, ammunition and supplies in Yangquan City...
After comprehensive analysis, the two teams should be considered a draw.
This result made Yoshio Shinozuka feel a lot better, and he finally had a good sleep last night...
"Your Excellency, Commander, I have something very important to report!" The person in charge of intelligence suddenly ran up to Yoshio Shinozuka and looked at him looking embarrassed to report!
"Speak..." Yoshio Shinozuka did not realize the danger and gave the order directly.
"We just received a piece of intelligence: it said that the Eighth Route Army suddenly obtained a large amount of weapons and ammunition..."
"Each main regiment of the 386th Brigade that we are monitoring is assigned a battalion of equipment and 100,000 rounds of ammunition..."
"More than a thousand rifles were identified, more than 500,000 rounds of various bullets, as well as a large number of artillery shells and food..."
"There must be more that have not been identified... We suspect that these weapons, ammunition and supplies were all thrown away by Yangquan!"
"Bang...this is impossible!" Yoshio Shinozuka slammed the table and retorted with disbelief on his face.
"The weapons, ammunition and supplies that the Eighth Route Army snatched from Yangquan have been blown up by the aviation force... hundreds of aerial bombs alone have been used. There is no way they can be sent to their base area. You must have made a mistake!"
Seeing how confident Shinozuka Yoshio was speaking, the person in charge of intelligence had no choice but to refute, so he could only stand awkwardly on the spot, not knowing how to answer the question.
"Your Excellency, Commander..." The Chief of Staff of the Military Department hurried over with a very serious expression on his face. He knew at a glance that something big had happened.
Yoshio Shinozuka was struggling with the bad news brought by the intelligence chief, and did not pay much attention to the chief of staff who came in a hurry, without even raising his head.
"Your Excellency, Commander..." the chief of staff could only speak again.
"There is news about the troops heading to the air raid area for reconnaissance!"
"Did the aviation force destroy the materials, weapons and ammunition lost in Yangquan County... did it severely damage the Eighth Route Army that attacked Yangquan..." Yoshio Shinozuka finally came to his senses, stared at the chief of staff and asked, nervous and anxious because of what he was going to do next.
The answer is directly related to whether the information brought by the intelligence chief is correct!
The chief of staff was disappointed and shook his head: "Reconnaissance force report: Except for the shell craters in the air raid area, no Eighth Route Army corpse was found... and no bombed weapon parts and food supplies were found..."
"The aviation seems to have bombed the wrong target..."
"you sure!"
Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up from his chair and looked directly into the eyes of the chief of staff and asked.
"The humble position is confirmed!" the chief of staff replied bravely.
"The reconnaissance troops searched the entire battlefield and found not a single Eighth Route Army corpse!"
"If the weapons, ammunition and supplies lost in Yangquan are really there, no matter how the Eighth Route Army cleans the battlefield, they will leave some traces... But the reconnaissance team found nothing..."
"Bagaya Road, we have been fooled!" Shinozuka Yoshio became angry and cursed loudly.
He handed over the intelligence sent by the intelligence chief: "This is what the intelligence department just received!"
"The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army suddenly received a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies, and every regiment had a share... They suspected that Yangquan had lost them!"
"I didn't believe it just now...I believe it now!"
"The Eighth Route Army used a secret plan to deliberately arrange a small force to pretend to be a transport team to mislead us and attract the attention of the aviation force, so that their real transport team can return to their base quietly!"
The chief of staff continued to report: "The fourth mixed brigade that returned to Yangquan also reported a piece of news!"
"After the Eighth Route Army occupied Yangquan, they not only seized a large number of mules, horses and horses in the city, but also used the ocean to purchase thousands of mules, horses and horses!"
"One mule and horse transports 300 kilograms of supplies. The Eighth Route Army only needs to raise 4,000 mules and horses to transport 1.2 million kilograms of supplies, weapons and ammunition, which is enough to empty the Yangquan ammunition depot and material warehouse!"
"They judged that the Eighth Route Army evacuated Yangquan through mules and horses!"
"Everything is clear!" After saying these words, Shinozuka Yoshio slumped down on the chair. All the high spirits in the morning were gone. At a glance, he looked like an old man...
Staring ahead, he said helplessly: "Use mules and horses to transport the loot, avoid roads, and take mountain roads and trails to return to their base!"
"After daybreak, the transport teams scattered on the mountain roads can easily hide in the woods and avoid our aerial reconnaissance!"
"Send a small force to pretend to be a transport team to attract the attention of the aviation force, and the real transport team can return to the base quietly!"
"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, what a cunning opponent!"
"Immediately send a telegram to Major General Miyazawa: The materials, weapons and ammunition lost in Yangquan have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Ask him to immediately send someone to find out where these weapons and ammunition are going, and destroy them if they can!"
"We also need to find out which Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan!"
"Such an opponent is too terrifying, we must nip them in the bud!"
"Remind Major General Miyazawa that I will write down his responsibility for abandoning Yangquan first. If he cannot be punished and meritorious, destroy those weapons and ammunition, and kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked Yangquan, the military department will definitely punish him for several crimes and send him to a military court..."
"I hope he seizes this last chance to wash away his shame!"
