"Ding, ring, ring..." The urgent phone ringing suddenly rang at the independent regiment headquarters.
The staff officer on duty picked up the phone and listened for a few seconds before rushing to Kong Jie's room nearby: "Regiment commander, brigade commander's phone number... I have something urgent to call you!"
Kong Jie, who was sleeping soundly, jumped out of bed without putting on his coat, put on his shoes and ran towards the phone.
"Report to the brigade commander... I am Kong Jie!"
"Comrade Kong Jie, the military situation is urgent and I have to have someone wake you up from bed!"
"We have just received intelligence... Yoshio Shinozuka plans to mobilize 100,000 Japanese puppet troops to sweep our base area. Our brigade is the key target of the Japanese attack, so you should start preparing!"
Kong Jie's expression immediately became very serious: "Brigade Commander, do you have any specific information?"
"It would be best to have information on the mobilization of the Japanese and puppet troops on the front lines in Yangquan, Jinzhong, and Taiyuan. The more detailed the better!"
"I've already sent someone to bring it to you!" the brigade commander's reply soon came from the phone.
"According to the plan, you must also start taking action!"
"Our underground party lurking in Jinzhong reported: Jinzhong and Taiyuan are located in the hinterland of the Japanese-occupied areas and have never encountered large-scale attacks. Although the Japanese army is planning a large-scale raid against us, the Japanese army defending Jinzhong will also
More than half of them have been transferred, but Jinzhong’s defense has not been strengthened!”
"People can still come and go freely!"
"If you send troops there now, it should be easy to infiltrate into Jinzhong!"
Kong Jie looked happy and said: "I know, brigade commander..."
"I will send troops to infiltrate Jinzhong soon... to ensure that the combat mission of raiding Jinzhong is completed..."
Kong Jie hung up the phone and shouted to the guard at the door: "Inform the guard and battalion commander Duan Yong to come to the headquarters immediately... be quick..."
The next morning, the information sent by the brigade headquarters appeared in Kong Jie's hands.
After Huang Yu received the telegram, the first thing that caught his eye was the words "Cavalry Regiment".
Anyone who has watched "Bright Sword" knows that Sun Desheng's cavalry company was defeated by the Japanese cavalry regiment.
I was worried about how to save Sun Desheng from the Japanese cavalry regiment, but I didn't expect that the Japanese army directly transferred the cavalry regiment to the independent regiment.
It's just God helping me.
Seeing the constant changes in Huang Yu's expression, Kong Jie thought he had made a major discovery and quickly asked: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Captain, we must find a way to kill the Japanese Cavalry Regiment first..." Huang Yu is the combat staff officer of the independent regiment. His status in the independent regiment is not what it used to be. He already has the right to make suggestions to Kong Jie at any time.
Kong Jie had already spoken. He must have something to say and he would express his thoughts immediately.
"The Japanese Cavalry Regiment has more than a thousand cavalry. Their combat effectiveness is very powerful, and their mobility far exceeds that of ordinary infantry!"
"The intelligence says that their main attack target is us, and they will definitely keep an eye on us all the way...The troops will not be able to successfully complete the mission of raiding Jinzhong, and they might even be attacked by them halfway, causing heavy losses!"
"If we can kill the cavalry regiment before the attack, we can not only eliminate a huge hidden danger, but also capture a large number of war horses, which in turn increases the mobility of our own people..."
"Taking a step back, we can also use war horses to transport weapons, ammunition and trophies to reduce the burden on the troops..."
Chief of Staff Li Wensheng believed deeply and immediately nodded in support: "The threat posed to us by the Cavalry Regiment is indeed great..."
"Without heavy weapons, any infantry unit that encounters them will only be beaten passively!"
"If we can't kill them in advance, it will be very dangerous for us to raid Jinzhong. Even the company will be worried about dividing the troops, for fear of being raided by the cavalry regiment!"
"I agree with Staff Officer Huang: before the assault on Jinzhong, we must first kill the Japanese Cavalry Regiment and solve all our worries in one battle!"
"I also agree to attack the Japanese cavalry unit first!" Kong Jie was silent for a while before making this decision, but before Huang Yu could be happy, he heard him change the subject and continue!
"but!"
"After all, the Japanese cavalry regiment has more than a thousand elite cavalry, and our cavalry company only has more than a hundred people. There is a ten-fold strength gap. It is too difficult to kill them!"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Huang Yu and asked: "We have very little experience in fighting cavalry. We have almost no experience of fighting against a Japanese cavalry regiment at the same time, and there are no battle examples to be found. Now my mind is a mess and I have no ideas."
"You have a lot of ideas. You came up with the idea of attacking the Cavalry Regiment first. I'm sure you won't let it go. Hurry up and tell me what you think!"
Huang Yu was not polite and said bluntly: "The easiest way to fight is to dispatch the armored platoon!"
"No matter how powerful the cavalry is, they are still flesh and blood. They cannot be the opponent of the armored platoon... During the fight, three armored vehicles lined up in a row and faced the cavalry regiment head-on. Just like the last time we faced the Japanese infantry brigade, they swept all the way. No matter how many more
There aren’t even enough little devils for us to kill!”
"No!" Huang Yu was rejected by Kong Jie before he could finish his words.
"The armored vehicle is our secret weapon for the raid on Jinzhong and must not be exposed in advance."
"What if the Japanese know in advance that we have armored vehicles, they will destroy the road we use to raid Jinzhong, or deploy artillery to ambush the armored platoon halfway..."
"Three armored vehicles have no chance of reaching Jinzhong, and the secret weapon in our hands is gone!"
"Is there any other way?"
"Send infantry to ambush the cavalry regiment!" Huang Yu replied while thinking.
"Determine a very suitable ambush battlefield and bury all the light and heavy machine guns we are equipped with..."
"The Japs suddenly opened fire after entering the pocket formation. With the current firepower level of the independent regiment, they can definitely end the battle in a short time and kill the cavalry regiment!"
Kong Jie was silent for a while and analyzed: "The total number of light and heavy machine guns in the whole regiment is more than that of a Japanese infantry brigade!"
"With such powerful firepower against the Japanese cavalry regiment, we will definitely win!"
"The key is how to bring the cavalry regiment into the pocket formation!"
"They are not fools, and they will certainly not dig into our pockets in a daze..."
Huang Yu answered confidently: "As long as the two conditions are met, no matter how cautious the little devil is, he will sneak into our pockets!"
"Uh..." Kong Jie didn't expect Huang Yu to even think of this question and asked quickly.
"What conditions!"
"The ambush battlefield must be chosen in a place suitable for cavalry assault, but not suitable for ambush!" Huang Yu continued to introduce his ideas.
"No matter how cautious the captain of the Japanese Cavalry is, he would never have thought that we would ambush on a flat land without any obstacles, not even a small mound!"
"Let's take a step back. Even if he knows there is a pocket array in front of him, he will dive into it without hesitation..."
"Such terrain is perfect for cavalry assaults. Even if they are ambushed, the Jaap team leader will still have the confidence to lead the cavalry out of the pocket formation and destroy the ambush troops along the way."
"This is the first condition."
"The other condition is a bait, a bait for the Japanese cavalry to pursue!"
"As long as the cavalry unit bites our bait and the bait withdraws all the way into the pocket formation, the Japanese cavalry unit will naturally get into the pocket formation all the way!"
"If the two conditions cooperate with each other, the Japanese cavalry unit will definitely die!"
"The first condition is easy to solve!" Kong Jie thought and analyzed!
"According to the terrain on the ground, we should dig a large number of trenches and individual bunkers on the battlefield before the big sweep begins. The ambush troops will hide in the bunkers and set up camouflage nets so that even if the little Japs get close, they won't be able to find them.
!”
"The bait is a problem. Our independent regiment doesn't seem to have a bait that the cavalry regiment will keep an eye on!"
Huang Yu shook his head and replied: "It's not troublesome at all..."
"I think the cavalry company can keep the Japanese cavalry regiment watching and lead them into the pocket formation prepared by the infantry."
This time Kong Jie didn't answer immediately. He looked at the information sent by the brigade and considered it for a while before speaking: "It's been almost half a year since the cavalry company was established!"
"Zhang Dashan asked me to fight more than once, hoping that the cavalry company could participate in the battle..."
"I have never agreed. Since Xiao Huang you said that the cavalry company can be a good bait, then let the cavalry company be used."
"But if you want the Japanese Cavalry Regiment to keep an eye on the cavalry company, you must first let them suffer some losses at the hands of the cavalry company and see the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, so that they will pay attention to the cavalry company..."
"The intelligence says that the Japanese army has assembled an infantry regiment and three garrison brigades to attack us head-on. Let's start with these Japs."
"The chief of staff...immediately notify the entire reconnaissance company to dispatch to find out where the Japanese and puppet troops attacking us are stationed, how the troops are distributed, where the ammunition supplies are placed, and how they are transported...the more detailed the better!"
"Notify Zhang Dashan again..."
"Starting today, the cavalry company only needs to conduct some regular training... The whole company is recharged and ready to go at any time..."
"You want to take the initiative?" Chief of Staff Li Wensheng saw Kong Jie's true purpose at a glance!
Kong Jie nodded and said: "Taking the initiative is the best way to demonstrate the combat effectiveness of a cavalry company!"
"Let the Japanese army know that our independent regiment has an invincible cavalry unit!"
"After the big sweep begins, the Japanese cavalry unit will regard Zhang Dashan as a thorn in their side, and they will quickly get rid of him..."
"The cavalry company has the opportunity to bring them into the pocket formation!"
This time it was Huang Yu's turn to be dumbfounded. He was shocked by Kong Jie's decision and admired him deeply.
The old revolutionaries were worthy of being old revolutionaries. They showed no fear in the face of powerful enemies. Instead, they took the initiative to achieve their goals by provoking the anger of the Japanese army.
Huang Yu's original idea was to wait until the sweep began, for the cavalry company to cooperate with the infantry to win a few battles, in order to anger the Japanese and attract the attention of the cavalry regiment.
Compared with the regimental leader's proactive approach, his own ideas were not only passive, but also difficult to anger the little devils and make them hate the cavalry company.
If the Japanese didn't pay enough attention to it and dispatched only one cavalry brigade to chase down the cavalry company, their plan to annihilate the cavalry regiment would definitely come to nothing!
