At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, the reconnaissance company commander trotted all the way and rushed to Li Yunlong, breathing heavily, looking anxious and excited.
"Captain, there's something going on... there's something a little weird about the little Japs in the Bai Village stronghold!"
"The number of little Japs entering and leaving the Baicun stronghold in the past few days has obviously been several times more than usual, and there are also a large number of troop transport vehicles entering and leaving the stronghold!"
"I saw it clearly. When entering the stronghold, the wheels of the car were flat and the ruts were very deep... When leaving the stronghold, the troop transport vehicle was light and fast. It must have delivered a lot of supplies to the stronghold!"
"Japanese soldiers also come in more and come out less..."
"The number of Japanese and puppet military guard posts and patrols around the stronghold is at least double that of usual... We suspect that the Japanese are taking action!"
"God is really helping me Li Yunlong!" Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this, and sighed while looking at the map: "I was worried that I would not be able to fight, but the Japanese came to my door..."
"Guard, immediately notify all company and above cadres in the regiment to come to the headquarters for a meeting...Old Zhao, go and prepare ammunition and dry food. At least two main battalions will have enough food for three days..."
At the Independent Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie was also worried about the war and couldn't sleep well.
For the past few days, Chu Yunfei came to the regiment headquarters at dawn to ask if he had taken any action today, which put Kong Jie under great pressure.
At this moment, news of the dispatch of more than 4,000 puppet troops from Yangquan reached the regiment headquarters.
Kong Jie was overjoyed and felt that his opportunity had come, so he immediately arranged a reconnaissance company to keep an eye on the Japanese and puppet troops.
One day has passed, and it's time for the reconnaissance company to send back the latest information.
After saying that Cao Cao was about to arrive, Kong Jie looked up and saw Chief of Staff Xing running towards him in a hurry: "Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched from Yangquan are here for us!"
"The reconnaissance company has just sent back the latest news: the more than 4,000 Japanese puppet troops are divided into three groups. Each group has an infantry brigade, an artillery squadron, a cavalry squad, and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army. They will directly attack the three main battalions.
In the past, marching speed was very fast!"
"But one thing is very strange: the three Japanese and puppet troops all stopped after they reached the stronghold closest to us. They did not launch a direct attack, as if they were waiting for something!"
"Special Agent Yamamoto..." Kong Jie and Huang Yu said at the same time.
After learning that the Japanese army had dispatched three infantry brigades in Yangquan, Huang Yu was called by Kong Jie to the regiment headquarters to perform his duties as combat staff and advise him.
Seeing that Huang Yu had the same idea as his own, Kong Jie was very happy and said: "It seems that we have the same idea..."
"If you hadn't reminded me a few days ago to strengthen the defense forces on the cliffs behind the mountain, I would never have thought of this!"
"But judging from the current reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops, your conclusion will probably come true!"
"For more than 4,000 days, the puppet troops have been in the light, and the Yamamoto special agent team has been in the dark!"
"When the Yamamoto special forces successfully raid Chenjiayu and destroy the independent regiment headquarters..."
"The several main battalions scattered outside will definitely fall into chaos and fight on their own."
"Three Japanese and puppet troops took the opportunity to attack..."
"At the very least, it can severely damage our independent group!"
"If the battalions and companies cannot immediately establish contact, unified command, and unified operations...and the Japanese and puppet troops' assault speed is very fast...the entire independent regiment may be destroyed!"
"Captain, since we have guessed the enemy's tactics, we will definitely not make the same mistake again!" Huang Yu answered confidently!
"The assault company has laid a dragnet for the Yamamoto special forces on the back mountain cliff...Chenjiayu will definitely not be captured by them..."
"As long as our command system is not in chaos, the three main battalions can cooperate to fight back the Japanese and puppet attacks!"
"If you, Commander, have a bigger appetite, take the initiative to counterattack, and completely wipe out both Japanese and puppet attacking troops!"
Kong Jie became interested as soon as he heard this: "You are indeed brave enough!"
"I originally planned to annihilate all the Japanese and puppet troops..."
"After listening to your heroic words just now, I suddenly felt that my appetite was too small, so I decided to listen to your thoughts first."
"If it is feasible, we will do as you say and devour the two Japanese and puppet troops in one go!"
Huang Yu looked at the map and introduced: "My idea is to change the situation, transfer all the guard battalion and the fourth battalion stationed in Chenjiayu, and secretly reinforce the three main battalions!"
"After the Japanese began to attack, they first used guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to slow down their attack speed and consume their troops..."
"Wait until they enter our defense area, then find favorable terrain to gather and annihilate them."
"The new battalion and the assault company will stay in Chenjiayu, which is enough to repel the attack of Yamamoto's special agent team!"
Kong Jie was moved!
He went to see the minefields arranged by the assault company on the cliff...
It is divided into five minefields. Each minefield is buried with six explosive packets weighing ten kilograms. They are all connected by telephone lines and buried deep underground!
Five minefields occupied the entire top of the cliff. As long as the Yamamoto special forces really planned to attack Chenjiayu from the cliff, there wouldn't be enough people to go up there and Huang Yu could blow it up.
Because of the existence of this minefield, Huang Yu was confident that the assault company could defend Chenjiayu, and immediately asked: "What's the trick?"
Huang Yu continued: "The war zone can send Commander Chu to our independent group to visit and exchange, and we can also dispatch local troops to visit and exchange with the main force!"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Kong Jie responded as soon as he patted his head: "Deploy local troops to exchange and learn with the main force..."
"After arriving at the garrison, the two sides exchanged military uniforms and equipment. The local troops stayed at the garrison and pretended to be the main force. The main force pretended to be local troops and left the garrison. They secretly rushed to the battlefield to join the battle..."
"This is a good idea, let's start taking action today!"
"What about the artillery battery?"
"The Japanese and puppet offensive forces are equipped with a large number of artillery... If there are no artillery batteries participating in the battle, the combat pressure on the infantry will be much greater, and the casualties will be much higher!"
"Simple!" Huang Yu continued to give advice to the group leader!
"There must be soldiers who are carpenters in the army. Let them make some fake gun mounts out of wood and put them as decorations at the artillery company station. The real guns will be transported out on big trucks..."
"Unless the little Japanese intelligence officers get into the artillery company station, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to tell the difference between real and fake artillery..."
"Do you have any ideas on how to fight?" Kong Jie became more and more excited as he listened. He was already confident about the Independent Regiment's goal of swallowing up two attacking troops in one go. He stared at Huang Yu and continued to ask.
Huang Yu thought and analyzed: "The fourth battalion and the guard battalion are respectively reinforcing two main battalions..."
"The artillery company first reinforces one of the main battalions, and then secretly concentrates most of the light and heavy machine guns and grenades equipped by the entire regiment into this main battalion!"
"Before the decisive battle begins, first use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to severely damage the Japanese artillery and heavy machine gun troops..."
"After the decisive battle begins, concentrate the most powerful firepower and take action to defeat the Japanese and disrupt them..."
"The whole army attacks, fights with the Japanese and puppet troops, and quickly ends the battle with our close combat firepower advantage!"
"There is one more thing you must not forget..."
"After the general offensive begins, kill the Japanese telegraph operators immediately and prevent them from sending any telegrams for help. This way we will have enough time to besiege the second offensive force of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"If conditions permit, the main battalion blocking the second route of Japanese and puppet troops can deliberately lure them to the first route of Japanese and puppet troops to shorten the time for the main force of the regiment to move positions..."
"Bang..." Kong Jie slammed his fist on the table.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision: "Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death!"
"Today I, Kong Jie, am also arrogant... trying to swallow up two groups of Japanese and puppet troops..."
"Guard, please inform Commander Chu of the Jinsui Army immediately that we will have a military operation tomorrow and will probably set off tomorrow night so that they can be prepared..."
"This afternoon I started to steal the news and notify the district team, guerrilla team, and county team that are in ambush to report to Chenjiayu immediately. I have an important task for them!"
"Fourth Battalion, artillery company, follow me to support the Second Battalion. First, concentrate your troops and firepower to kill the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle, and then destroy the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the First Battalion!"
"The chief of staff directed the first and second companies of the guard battalion to reinforce the first battalion and hold them back at all costs and consume their troops!"
"Notify the third battalion commander that his mission is to hold back the Japanese and puppet attacking troops so that they can't move forward in the base area... If the Japanese and puppet troops retreat, they will immediately launch a counterattack. Every Japanese can be killed."
"The remaining regiment headquarters of the third company of the guard battalion..."
"Staff Huang is under unified command of all remaining troops in Chenjiayu... If anyone disobeys orders, he will be dealt with directly by military law!"
"Get on the phone at the brigade headquarters immediately: I have something very important to report to the brigade commander..."
At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Brigadier Chen suddenly broke in. When he saw the boss, he made a serious report!
"Boss...Kong Jie received the information..."
"The Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army is teaming up with the Yamamoto Special Agents to retaliate against the Independent Regiment..."
"The total number of Japanese and puppet troops participating in the operation exceeds 4,500, and they have reached the edge of the Independence Regiment's base..."
"Three Japanese infantry brigades are in the light, and Yamamoto's special agent team is in the dark. They are coming menacingly, intending to annihilate the independent regiment in one fell swoop!"
"Kong Jie has begun to prepare for the war with all his strength. They believe that there is an 80% chance that Chenjiayu will be attacked by Yamamoto's special agent team!"
"Chenjiayu is too close to the headquarters. If the Yamamoto special forces break through Chenjiayu's defense line, the headquarters may be attacked at any time, which is very dangerous!"
"Kong Jie asked me to come over to protect the transfer of the headquarters. At least I have to leave here and hide in the mountains for two days, and then come out after the battle is over!"
"I won't leave. This is the headquarters and I have to stay here!" The boss's stubborn temper suddenly emerged and he frowned and refused.
"From the moment I handed over Chenjiayu to the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie had to hold the position for me and no accidents could happen!"
"If the Chenjiayu defense line is really captured by Yamamoto's special agent team, even if Kong Jie fails to complete the mission, he will still be punished no matter how powerful he is!"
The boss's objections were obviously in vain.
For his own safety, Brigadier Chen did not care about his superiors or subordinates.
With a wave of his hand, he arranged for two guards to carry the boss out. As he walked, he ordered: "What are you still doing? Immediately organize the documents, maps, and equipment, and move together into the mountain. We will retreat when the battle is over!"
