The Japanese used a large number of artillery and aircraft on the battlefield to fight against the Chinese army, which was only equipped with light weapons... He had also experienced this kind of battle and suffered the consequences.
Since the Japs themselves don't practice martial ethics, why should the Eighth Route Army do so?
Looking at Kong Jie, he was very embarrassed to answer: "Brother Kong, what I just said was ridiculous..."
"You are absolutely right. To talk about martial ethics to the invaders is to humiliate the word martial virtue. They are a group of invaders who do all kinds of evil. As long as they can be eliminated, any means can be used on them... Brother, I have learned something. Got it!"
"Captain, we won the battle..." First Battalion Commander Shen Quanxing hurried in, still smelling of gunpowder smoke. He had obviously just come off the battlefield.
"We killed all the Japanese on the road, captured 128 puppet soldiers, and killed all the remaining two dogs!"
Kong Jie was not surprised at all that the independent regiment won this battle. What he was most concerned about now was whether the troops had a chance to fight a second ambush battle. He stared at Shen Quan and asked.
"Did you find the Japanese captain and the radio operator... did the radio operator spread the news that they were attacked?"
"Found it!" Shen Quan replied with a smile.
"The captain was a major, and he was shot to death by the attacking troops with a pistol!"
"The radio operator died on the road, shot to death by a heavy machine gun..."
"The radio was carried on his back when he died and was turned off. There should be no chance to send a telegram!"
"That's good..." Kong Jie breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The longer we keep the news of killing these little devils, the greater the chance of winning the second ambush battle!"
"Captain, are you saying we have to continue fighting?" Shen Quan didn't know that Kong Jie wanted to eat two Japanese infantry brigades in one go, so he immediately showed a shocked expression full of suspicion!
"No?" Kong Jie asked.
"This is the idea put forward by Staff Officer Huang... As long as we are fast enough and the various units cooperate well enough, it is not a bad idea to continuously defeat the two Japanese attacking units!"
"How are the soldiers doing? Can they continue to fight?"
The shocked expression on Shen Quan's face was immediately replaced by excitement, and he answered without hesitation: "Although I am a little tired, everyone's morale is very high. It will be no problem to fight again!"
"Report……"
Just as Kong Jie was about to answer the call and give the order, Chen Daliang, commander of the artillery company, ran in. He could not close his mouth with joy. When he saw Kong Jie, he reported excitedly: "Captain, we are rich!"
"Most of the artillery equipped by the Japanese were captured by us. I went to check. There were six mortars that were intact, as well as two infantry guns, two mountain guns... There were also thousands of rounds of artillery shells, all using mules. Horses carry it!"
Kong Jie's reaction was the same as before, his expression was calm, and he didn't show too much excitement. He smiled and started to give orders: "Chen Daliang, I will give the artillery company a mission!"
"Immediately equip all the captured mortars with the artillery company, and take the captured mortar shells with them. If the equipment can be transported by mules and horses, use mules and horses, and march quickly to Zhouzhuang to set up artillery positions. I will encircle and annihilate the attacking two troops there. Battalion of Japanese and puppet troops!”
"The chief of staff has already led the guard battalion to rush over. We then fought over and rushed to Zhouzhuang before the Japanese and puppet troops retreated. We laid a dragnet and waited for the Japanese and puppet troops to infiltrate their pockets!"
"The fourth battalion, the first battalion and three main companies, immediately replenish ammunition, take all the light and heavy machine guns and pistols captured on the battlefield, and march quickly to Zhouzhuang!"
"A battalion of new recruits is left to clean the battlefield. All the captured weapons and ammunition have been sorted and counted. No one can approach without my order!"
Telegraph operator Zhang Xuelin suddenly walked up to Kong Jie, as if he had eaten honey, and reported with a smile on his face.
"Captain, good news. Staff Huang asked the headquarters to forward an urgent message to us: Yamamoto's special agent team failed to raid Chenjiayu. The assault company also killed more than fifty Japanese soldiers and destroyed the radio station they equipped. Yamamoto's special agent team The remnants retreated in disgrace... Let us ambush the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line without any worries..."
"Good fight, I knew Huang Yu would create a surprise for us!" Kong Jie was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground. The little worry in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he ordered with excitement on his face.
"Call back to the headquarters immediately. We have eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the first battalion and are rushing to the second battlefield to fight another battle of annihilation!"
After saying that, he ordered Shen Quan: "The news of the Yamamoto special agent team's fiasco at Chenjiayu has not spread, and the news that we have completely annihilated all the Japanese and puppet troops here has not spread. The Japanese and puppet troops attacking the second battalion will press on." The original plan was to move forward.”
"When the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade receives the bad news and issues a retreat order, the Japanese and puppet troops who attacked the second battalion will return the same way. No matter how fast it is, it will take six or seven hours to fight back to Zhouzhuang..."
"This period of time is enough for us to prepare for battle. Everyone should get back to their positions and start taking action immediately!"
At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the brigade commander finished sending the telegram to Kong Jie and then stood behind the telegraph operator to wait for news.
He was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, but before the results came out, his heart was still hanging.
"Brigadier Chen...the call back from the Independent Regiment has arrived..." After waiting for who knows how long, the operator's report finally reached his ears.
"Is it good news or bad news?" the brigade commander asked anxiously.
"Great victory!" the operator said as he handed the translated message to the brigade commander.
"They have already killed one group of Japanese and puppet troops... and are preparing to rush to the second battlefield to wipe out another group of Japanese and puppet troops!"
"Well done... I knew Kong Jie would not let me down!" the brigade commander shouted excitedly, took the telegram and ran to the boss.
"Boss...good news, Comrade Kong Jie has kept his word and has successfully eliminated the Japanese and puppet troops attacking their first battalion...prepare to fight continuously and eliminate another group of Japanese and puppet troops!"
"This is a telegram... This battle was fought very beautifully. Not only did a large group of Japanese soldiers be killed, but a large amount of equipment and ammunition were also captured. Four infantry guns and mountain guns were captured..."
"It's really because of him. In the past, when we assembled two regiments, we didn't dare to attack a large group of Japanese!"
"Kong Jie only used half a regiment to wipe out an entire infantry brigade. It's incredible!"
The boss was also shocked by the good news, and it took him a while to react.
After carefully reading the telegram handed over by the brigade commander, he said, "I was also shocked by Kong Jie's huge appetite!"
"Before, I thought it was unreasonable for the Independent Regiment to eat a Japanese brigade in one go... Now it seems that I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment!"
"Two main battalions plus an artillery company can kill nearly a thousand Japanese puppet troops in half an hour."
"Their next ambush battle will involve four main battalions, equipped with more than twice as many mortars and light and heavy machine guns... As long as the little devils get into the pocket formation along this way, they will definitely die..."
"Brigadier Chen, this trump card in your hand is really powerful!"
After finishing speaking, the boss suddenly frowned and fell into deep thought. He hesitated for a while before continuing: "There is a task that I have been unable to find a unit to carry out. Today I saw the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment. I feel that there is no unit more suitable to carry out this task than them."
Heavy responsibility!"
"What mission?" the brigade commander asked with expectation, thinking that the boss had something good for the independent group.
"An important mission with a narrow escape!" the boss replied seriously.
"The insider sent us a piece of information. Neji Okamura is planning a large-scale raid against our Eighth Route Army!"
"You can be sure: the scale of this sweep will be unprecedented, and we must be prepared to suffer more than half of the casualties..."
"I have been studying how to counter-mopping up during this period, considering a two-front battle plan..."
"We need a unit to form the posture of two or three main regiments, take the initiative to attack, kill a huge enemy in the enemy-occupied area, force the Japanese mopping up troops to return to the defense area, and reduce the anti-mopping pressure on each base area!"
"I've been thinking about this unit for a long time but haven't decided yet..."
"Our Eighth Route Army has poor equipment, limited ammunition, and almost no ability to attack difficult targets!"
"Generally, the main force group cannot make much noise if it rushes into enemy-occupied areas. It cannot force the Japanese to divide their troops..."
"If too many troops are sent to enemy-occupied areas and there are too few troops to participate in counter-mopping up, we will lose sight of the other!"
"You just told me that the independent group is very strong, and one group can be used as two groups!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!"
"If the independent regiment is sent to the enemy-occupied areas to carry out sabotage, it will definitely mess up the enemy-occupied areas. Maybe they can capture several county towns. At that time, the little devils will not be able to return reinforcements even if they don't want to!"
The brigade commander was silent for a while before answering: "Boss, the Independent Regiment is indeed very suitable for this mission!"
"The regiment leader Kong Jie has a very calm temperament and a thoughtful mind. He has experience fighting in enemy-occupied areas!"
"The mission must be completed at the minimum cost!"
"If the boss has already made a decision..."
"When the battle is over, I will strengthen the independent regiment with some heavy weapons to ensure that they can kill everyone behind enemy lines!"
The boss didn't answer immediately. He frowned and considered for another two minutes before giving the order: "That's it!"
"When this battle is over, ask Kong Jie to come to the headquarters, and I will personally give him orders!"
"In addition to heavy weapons, you also need to strengthen him with several political cadres..."
"I will also prepare ten deputy instructors for him here. They are all veterans who have just recovered from the field hospital. They used to be platoon leaders in the team. They not only have rich combat experience, but also have good ideological work."
"The troops are fighting deep behind enemy lines and will be besieged by several times the number of Japanese and puppet troops at any time!"
"If there is something wrong with the soldiers' thinking, the army may collapse at any time!"
"Each main force company is assigned an instructor and one or two deputy instructors to stabilize the morale and morale of the troops fighting behind enemy lines."
The brigade commander was convinced: "Don't worry, boss..."
"There are also many veterans who have recovered from serious injuries at the brigade headquarters. When I return, I will select ten cadres who can serve as deputy instructors to support the independent regiment!"
At four o'clock in the morning, news of the defeat of Yamamoto's special agent team finally reached Yangquan County.
Major General Miyazawa sat at the headquarters and waited for most of the night, full of expectations, but what he was waiting for was indeed such news.
I became angry at that time, slapping the table and cursing: "I knew the Yamamoto Special Agent Team was useless!"
"If special operations were really as powerful as Yamamoto Kazuki said, they wouldn't have been defeated by the Eighth Route Army several times!"
Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Harada was also very angry. He felt that Yamamoto Kazuki was a guy who failed to achieve anything but failed. However, his military rank was not as high as Kazuki Yamamoto's and he could not curse like the brigade commander.
I could only suppress my anger and discuss the next strategy with Major General Miyazawa: "General, if Yamamoto's special agent team fails to raid, then their mission of destroying the independent regiment's command system will become a joke!"
"If the independent regiment gathers heavy troops to surround and annihilate our attacking troops, none of the three attacking troops will be their opponent!"
"I suggest that they retreat immediately..."
"The military department is not much better. After all, it was Yamamoto's special agent team who failed to complete the mission in the first place, which affected the war situation. We had to retreat. The responsibility lies with Yamamoto Kazuki!"
