Chapter 143 Boss: I'll give you two camps directly
"Sir, boss... I brought Kong Jie to you... and a gift you could only dream of!" the brigade commander shouted at the top of his voice at the door of the headquarters before he even entered.
"It's Brigadier Chen who's here. Come in quickly. You're the only one in our Eighth Route Army who dares to be so careless in the headquarters!" The boss' order was quickly heard in the room.
Kong Jie followed the brigade commander. When he entered the door, he saw the boss and the division commander standing next to the map and pointing, as if discussing something.
Quickly salute: "Report to the leader, Kong Jie, leader of the independent regiment, has been ordered to report, please give instructions!"
"We meet again... Comrade Kong Jie, you fought well in the battle at Yangquan. Your teacher and I were shocked!" The boss looked at Kong Jie and said with a pleased expression.
"In the battle of Lijiapo, although we killed the Yamazaki Brigade, we also suffered heavy losses..."
"More than half of the two main regiments suffered casualties, and Li Yunlong's new second regiment lost a battalion... We haven't captured any weapons and ammunition yet, so we lost both our wives and our troops!"
"If you hadn't killed a regiment of puppet troops in Yangquan, wiped out the Fujiwara Brigade, and seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies... we would have suffered a huge loss. The main regiments involved in the siege of the Yamazaki Brigade don't know when they will be able to resume combat effectiveness!
"
Kong Jie quickly waved his hand and replied humbly: "Report to the commander, this is all the fault of the brigade commander, I have no credit..."
The brigade commander was unwilling when he heard this. He pretended to be dissatisfied and cursed: "You kid, don't talk nonsense!"
"Other than agreeing with you to raid Yangquan, when have I ever directed you in a battle?"
"I am a dignified commander of the 386th Brigade. I have many military exploits. I am worthy of your contribution!"
"Whatever you command is what you command. There is nothing to be modest about."
"If outsiders heard it, they would think I wanted to steal the credit of my subordinates!"
After the brigade commander finished speaking, he handed the prepared list to the boss.
"Boss, division commander, this is a big gift from Comrade Kong Jie... They were all captured in the Battle of Yangquan. Half of them were kept by the 386th Brigade, and the remaining half were handed over to the headquarters to support other Eighth Route Army units... By the way
The headquarters security team changes their uniforms!"
"Six hundred 38 pieces... one million machine gun bullets... 20,000 grenades... three thousand artillery shells... hiss... how can there be so many!" The boss has seen all kinds of storms and waves, and the results show
After seeing the data on the telegram, I was still so excited that I couldn't speak coherently. My right hand holding the list became trembling with excitement!"
The division commander was also shocked by the data on the list, and asked with a shocked face: "Yangquan is dozens of kilometers away from our base area. There are a large number of Japanese and puppet army strongholds and blockades scattered on the road. There are also Japanese planes bombing in the sky. Are you?
How did you transport so much loot back to the base!"
The boss also looked at Kong Jie with a curious expression.
Kong Jie quickly reported again about his purchase of mules and horses, "Reporting to the chief, Yangquan is not only the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade, but also a traffic artery on the Zhengtai Railway, guarding the gateway to Taiyuan, and a very important commercial city in Shanxi...
…There are a lot of businesses gathered inside!”
"There are Japanese, there are traitors, and there are us Chinese!"
"Almost every trading house has its own transport team, mainly composed of mules, horses and horses..."
"With the cooperation of the underground party, we wiped out all the trading firms controlled by the Japanese and traitors, and seized more than a thousand mules, horses and horses..."
"Using the funds from the seizure of the Japanese, we purchased mules, horses and horses from the common people in Yangquan City at high prices... In total, we collected more than 4,000 mules, horses and horses to transport the loot!"
"In order to prevent the transport team from being discovered by the Japanese plane, I also arranged for a battalion to rush to another mountain road to pretend to be a transport team to attract the attention of the Japanese... The real transport team secretly hid in the warehouse on another mountain road and quietly returned to the base..."
The boss has had countless encounters with his teachers and is still amazed when he hears them.
The brigade commander suddenly answered: "Boss, division commander...the most amazing thing about this battle is not the transfer of spoils..."
"Do you know how many troops Kong Jie dispatched to eat up Fujiwara's brigade?"
"A main battalion, a cavalry company, a regiment-affiliated platoon, and an artillery platoon...the total strength is not as large as the little Japs...As a result, they had a head-on confrontation with the Fujiwara Brigade, and the battle was over in less than an hour, and the Fujiwara Brigade was completely annihilated!"
"What's going on?" the shocked boss asked quickly.
"He used the three armored vehicles that were captured by the Japanese..." the brigade commander introduced like a storyteller.
"After the attack begins, first concentrate all mortars to blast the Japanese artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron to prevent them from establishing positions..."
"The armored vehicles made a frontal assault, scattering the Japanese who gathered on the road, and at the same time consuming part of the troops..."
"The cavalry company then followed up and continued to rush into chaos, scattering the little devils so that they could not find their generals. They would not be able to find their soldiers, and they became a mess..."
"The infantry battalion equipped with a large number of submachine guns and light machine guns finally rushed out and used powerful firepower to attack the little devils in the chaos, defeating them one by one..."
"The Fujiwara Brigade was completely killed in less than an hour!"
The shocked boss stared at Kong Jie again and asked: "What did you think at the beginning...Why did you think of artillery, armored vehicles, and cavalry working together..."
Kong Jie shook his head again: "Chief...this kind of fighting style is really not what I thought..."
"Do you still remember Comrade Huang Yu? You have also met Comrade Huang Yu, who turned the tide in Yangcun and severely damaged the Japs Yamamoto Special Forces... He proposed this strategy to me!"
"I thought it was useful, and there was no other way to break the situation, so I fought..."
"At the end of the battle, even I don't believe that the Fujiwara Brigade has been defeated!"
"After seizing three armored vehicles, my first thought was to blow them up... After the raid, my idea changed. I felt that if the armored vehicles were used well, they could also become the trump card of the independent regiment in fighting the Japanese."
"Comrade Huang Yu has been encouraging me to bring the armored vehicles back to the base area. He also vowed that he had a way to bring the armored vehicles back to the base area, so I agreed!"
"In the end, he brought me another surprise..."
"Pretend to be a little Jaap and walk on the highway, then use an armored vehicle to fight back to the base from under the Japs' noses!"
The brigade commander responded: "After knowing that the independent regiment had captured three armored vehicles, I originally wanted to take them away..."
"Considering that the brigade headquarters is often moved, armored vehicles too affect the mobility of the troops... Comrade Huang Yu, who brought back the armored vehicles, wanted to stay again, so I agreed!"
"Let Kong Jie set up an armored platoon, and let each regiment send ten soldiers to the armored platoon to learn how to drive armored vehicles. In the future, if similar weapons are captured, they can be used by me..."
"This is a good idea, I agree..." The boss nodded in approval.
"I remember Comrade Huang Yu, a very thoughtful young man... Comrade Kong Jie, you have to train such talented young people well, maybe they will be your help in the future!
Kong Jie was convinced. He had long regarded Huang Yu as the lucky general of the Independent Regiment and his lucky star. He immediately replied: "Please don't worry, chief!"
"Comrade Huang Yu has made great achievements in this attack on Yangquan. I decided to expand the assault platoon into an assault company, and let Comrade Huang Yu serve as the assault company commander and regimental combat staff officer!"
"The newly formed armored platoon of the independent regiment is also under the control of the assault company!"
"This is an internal matter within your independent group, I don't care!" the boss replied, shaking his head.
The brigade commander interrupted again: "Boss, when it comes to expansion, there is something that only you can agree to!"
"In addition to the three main battalions, the independent regiment also has a new recruit battalion..."
"After development, the total strength of the new battalion has exceeded 600 people. It is equipped with three heavy machine guns and more than ten light machine guns. Its combat effectiveness is no less than that of the main battalion..."
"It's a bit unreasonable to continue fighting as a new battalion... I propose that the headquarters give the independent regiment a main battalion!"
"Reorganize the new barracks into the main regiment, and establish another new barracks for the independent regiment..."
"At that time, the independent regiment will have four main battalions, one new battalion, and a combat force of 3,000 people. It will not be afraid of an ordinary infantry regiment of the Japanese army... Please approve it, boss!"
The Eighth Route Army suffered the consequences of blindly expanding its troops...
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, many troops expanded their troops several times or even ten times within a few months... However, the equipment and combat effectiveness did not keep up, leaving many troops vulnerable during the war...
After this lesson, the headquarters began to strictly control the organization of the troops, requiring each unit to have a large pot and how many meters to lay down, and not to blindly expand the troops... To form a battalion, you must ensure that it has the combat effectiveness of a battalion, not a fancy army.
Due to this, although the boss admired Kong Jie, he did not immediately agree to the expansion.
Instead, he asked with a serious face: "I am very happy to expand the capacity and expand the troops, but can your equipment and combat effectiveness keep up?"
"Please don't worry, chief!" Kong Jie knew as soon as he heard that the independent regiment's expansion of troops was feasible, and hurriedly explained.
"In the Battle of Yangquan, we seized more than 2,000 rifles..."
"The brigade commander made the decision and left some for me..."
"It will be no problem to form another reinforcement battalion..."
"Don't worry about combat effectiveness... Each main battalion of the Independent Regiment has a recruit company. Although it is labeled as a recruit company, its usual training is exactly the same as that of the main force. It will go to the battlefield when it is time!"
"If the commander agrees to the expansion, a few companies of recruits can make up a battalion more than enough!"
"In attacking Yangquan, we also captured more than 800 puppet troops..."
"After mobilization, more than 400 people were willing to join the Eighth Route Army..."
"Many of the prisoners are former Jinsui Army and Northwest Army, with good foundation..."
"As long as they do their ideological work well...and complete the integration training, they will become veterans in no time!"
"If that's not enough, there are several local troops and guerrillas in the defense zone... They all want to join the independent regiment. Surely it will be no problem to transfer two to three hundred people?"
The boss turned to look at the brigade commander to confirm whether what Kong Jie said was true.
The brigade commander praised without hesitation: "Boss, Kong Jie is so humble again..."
"The Independent Regiment is stationed within a hundred miles of the place. Everyone knows that they have strong soldiers and horses and are very powerful at fighting Japanese enemies..."
"If the independent regiment's recruitment order is circulated, a thousand people can be recruited at any time!"
The worries on the boss's face completely disappeared, and he made a decision after thinking about it in his mind: "Since the independent regiment has such a strong foundation and there is no blind expansion of the troops, then I will directly give you the establishment of two battalions: one main fourth battalion, and one
