Chapter 257 Brigade Commander: Why don't I go to the independent regiment in person (two chapters in
"Report to the head: Urgent call from Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment!" A staff officer hurriedly ran to the three of them to report.
The political commissar immediately took the telegram, frowned after reading it halfway and said: "Commander, Brigadier Chen... Kong Jie discovered a new situation in northwest Shanxi!"
"The little devils there attach great importance to the puppet army. They selected a large number of Japanese who can speak Chinese from the army to serve as company platoon commanders, battalion commanders, and even regimental commanders of the Imperial Association Army, and personally trained them!"
"A large number of hardcore traitors were transferred from the puppet army units in the three eastern provinces to join the puppet army as squad leaders!"
"Stand-on discipline is still enforced in the ranks... One squad refused to fight, and the entire platoon was punished... One squad of soldiers surrendered on the battlefield and were taken as prisoners, and the entire platoon was shot... Under the management of these high-pressure measures, the puppet army was run by them
He is like a Tie Tong. Not only is his fighting power stronger than the puppet troops we encountered before, but he also has a strong will to fight. He fights like a Japanese soldier and would rather die than surrender!"
"Captain Kong asked us to remind Li Yunlong and Ding Wei that we must pay special attention to the puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi!"
"By the way, remind us to prevent the little devils from using this new method of training puppet troops throughout Shanxi!"
"The Japs personally command and train the puppet troops!" A look of solemnity quickly flashed across the division commander's face, and he analyzed with a frown.
"You don't need to fight to know that the combat effectiveness of this group of puppet troops is far superior to that of puppet troops from other places..."
"If all the puppet troops in Shanxi are trained according to this model, their overall combat effectiveness will definitely increase exponentially!"
"The puppet army has much more troops than the Japanese. As the puppet army's combat effectiveness becomes stronger, the pressure we face will also increase exponentially..."
"No matter what method is used, the Japanese cannot be allowed to promote this training method on a large scale!"
"Call Kong Jie right away and ask them to find ways to win more battles, especially the big victory against the puppet troops!"
"Let the Japanese realize that even if they invest a lot of manpower and material resources to train the puppet army, it still cannot change the puppet army's low combat effectiveness and weak fighting will. They were defeated in front of us and still surrendered to the Eighth Route Army in large numbers as before and sent us
Lots of well-trained recruits!”
"As long as the Japanese feel that their training method is not worth the gain, they will stop promoting it or even abandon this training method that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources."
Before Brigadier Chen could interrupt, the political commissar holding the telegram answered: "This task is very important!"
"Kong Jie said in the telegram that they had just captured a medium-sized Japanese stronghold..."
"Because of contempt for the puppet troops in the stronghold, the army actually lost more than a hundred veterans in the battle..."
"The Independence Regiment used one infantry gun and three mortars in this attack... but the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were only equipped with two mortars and two heavy machine guns."
"In the past, with an absolute strength advantage, the independent regiment could capture a position by losing only one platoon at most..."
"The independent regiment that moved to northwestern Shanxi has less than a thousand people. Excluding the artillery, cavalry, and heavy equipment... the combat force only has more than 500 people..."
"As a result, more than a hundred people were lost in one battle... If we continue to fight like this, we will be able to wipe out all the independent regiments in just three or four battles!"
The division commander replied seriously: "Compared with the combat pressure of the entire Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, I won't say more about the gains and losses of one main force regiment!"
"Just follow my order and call Kong Jie back!"
"Let them fight a few more victorious battles as soon as possible and disintegrate the puppet army trained by the Japanese!"
"As for how to fight and what means to use, it is all up to him to decide. There is no need to ask the division headquarters for instructions!"
"Commander, how about I go to northwest Shanxi in person?" Brigadier Chen suddenly suggested.
"I think my commanding ability is pretty good... maybe I can give Kong Jie some advice if I go to northwestern Shanxi!"
"The three regiments have just arrived in northwestern Shanxi and have not yet established a firm foothold. After I arrive, I can contact them to act together. If we want to fight, we will fight two big battles and try to kill a few more puppet troops!"
Seeing that the division commander was still hesitating, Brigadier Chen continued: "The Independent Regiment has developed a powerful enemy-killing weapon like the flying thunder cannon. We must give them some commendation!"
"I will personally go to the northwest of Shanxi Province to commend the Independence Group and give him some good things by the way."
"In this anti-mopping operation, the independent regiment helped us bring back an arsenal and a large number of workers. Our troops who stayed behind at the base are not vegetarians!"
"In addition to killing a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, we also seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and food supplies that the Japanese and puppet troops had no time to take away!"
"Judging from the telegram sent by Kong Jie, the situation in northwestern Shanxi is even worse than we expected. After capturing a medium-sized stronghold, only a few thousand kilograms of grain were seized, which was not enough to feed them for five days!"
"When the troops moved to war, the independent regiment took away basically weapons and ammunition seized from Taiyuan and very little food. Their food pressure must have been great.
"We are not short of food for the time being. I plan to send them a batch of food to relieve their pressure a little!"
Nanfeng Mountain is a group of mountains less than 20 kilometers away from Baipo Valley. Its steepness is rare in the mountainous northwest of Shanxi.
Three years ago, a group of bandits suddenly appeared here, claiming that Nanfeng Village...
At the beginning, this gang of bandits advertised themselves as robbing the rich, giving to the poor, and killing Japanese invaders, attracting many local people to join them.
In less than a year, Nanfeng Village has grown to more than 300 people.
The stronger the strength and the more people, the more ammunition and supplies the village will need. The little food that can be obtained by killing the rich and giving to the poor will definitely not be enough to eat.
The leader of the village, Nan Honglie, began to shift the targets of robbery to ordinary people and passing caravans...
In just the past two years, Nanfeng Village has completely turned into a gang of bandits who commit murder and sell goods and do all kinds of evil.
The Japanese had the idea of incorporating them, and for this purpose they sent a reinforced squadron to encircle and suppress them, hoping to force them to surrender by force.
As a result, these bandits were actually equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, and because they were familiar with the terrain, they ran away when the Japanese came. The Japanese withdrew and then returned to the stronghold. After several encirclements and annihilations with no results, the Japanese had to give up force and force them to surrender.
They began to contact each other privately about their ideas.
By the way, I want to find out why a group of bandits are even equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns.
It turned out that they were connected to the Jinsui Army operating in western Shanxi, and most of the weapons and ammunition in their hands were purchased from the Jinsui Army.
The Jinsui Army operating in western Shanxi has always been ambiguous with the Japanese. The Japanese did not want to ruin their relationship with the Jinsui Army because of a group of bandits and provoke one more opponent for no reason. In the end, they turned enemies into friends and joined forces with Nanfeng.
They formed a cooperative relationship and worked together to deal with the Eighth Route Army operating in northwest Shanxi.
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they robbed the Eighth Route Army's food transport teams several times and killed Eighth Route Army correspondents.
But because the Eighth Route Army operating in northwest Shanxi at that time had no main force and only local troops, everyone could only swallow their anger.
Now that the main force is here, there must be revenge, grievances and grievances...
Nanfeng Village is connected with the Jinsui Army operating in western Shanxi. If Nanfeng Village is captured, it will not only eliminate harm to the people and seize a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food, but also get the contact information of Nanfeng Village and the Jinsui Army.
The Jin-Sui Army active in western Shanxi.
After receiving the task of trading with the Jinsui Army, Huang Yu immediately thought of this copycat...
"Company commander... no, battalion commander..." Zhong Chengjun hurried to Huang Yu to report, with a very solemn expression.
"Is it difficult to fight?" Huang Yu asked directly.
Zhong Chengjun nodded: "The opponent not only has a large number of troops, but also has good equipment and strong combat effectiveness!"
"For other bandits, it's good if two of them can be assigned a rifle... Each bandit in Nanfeng Village can be assigned a rifle, and they are all standard rifles equipped by the Jinsui Army. The worst ones are 60% new..."
"I also found a large number of light machine guns in Nanfeng Village, scattered at several commanding heights. As long as the village is attacked, these machine guns can attack the sneak attackers from a high position!"
"I haven't found any heavy machine guns or mortars. They should be hidden in the cottage!"
"We caught a young bandit and learned from his mouth: The current defense of the village started half a year ago, and it was all done by their third boss. This third boss can also speak Japanese... I doubt him.
They were sent by the Japanese!"
Huang Yu affirmed: "It's almost the same!"
"Since Nanfeng Village has chosen to cooperate with the Japanese, it will definitely agree to some conditions from the Japanese!"
"With Japanese methods, it is 100% sure that they will send people into the village and take control of it secretly!"
"The Japanese have guns, power, and money...The bandits are a group of people who love money most. Sooner or later they will be bribed by the Japanese and become traitors and lackeys.
"Don't look at this Japanese who is just the third master of Nanfeng Village now... If we don't take action, at most one year, this third master will become the first master!"
"How do we fight?" A hint of worry flashed across Zhong Chengjun's face, and he looked at Huang Yu and asked directly.
"We only have more than a hundred people...the opponent has more than 300 people...the advantages in troops, terrain, and firepower...are almost all in their hands..."
"The Japanese are still guiding the battle. No matter how you analyze it, the odds of victory are always on their side!"
"Let's start with the word greed!" Huang Yu said.
"Since they are bandits, they cannot do without the word greed!"
"If we pretend to be an Eighth Route Army grain transport team and pass through their area of activity, we will definitely lure them out to ambush us..."
"We take the opportunity to wipe out all the ambush troops, then pretend to be the ambush troops, and take advantage of the situation to enter the village. We will surely capture Nanfeng Village at the minimum cost!"
"The most important thing is to capture the second leader of Nanfeng Village. If we take him down, we can find out how Nanfeng Village contacts the Jinsui Army. We can replace Nanfeng Village and continue to purchase food, weapons and ammunition from the Jinsui Army!"
On the road five kilometers southeast of the main peak of Nanfeng Mountain, a motorcade slowly came...
There were five carts in total, four of which were filled with grain, and one cart contained a large number of wooden boxes.
Judging from the size and shape of the box, this cart contained not only rifles and bullets, but also several light machine guns.
When the news reached Nanfeng Village, Nan Honglie, the head of the family, immediately called all his subordinates together: "Brothers, about a platoon of the Eighth Route Army escorted five large vehicles through our village. They were loaded with food, weapons and ammunition, and several tanks.
Let’s make up our minds together whether we want to grab the light machine gun or not.”
"Of course I want to grab it!" the second master replied without hesitation.
"This is a business without capital...it's ours if you take it back!"
"If you use money to buy weapons from the Jinsui Army, five machine guns will cost 2,000 yuan. No matter how rich our family is, we can't buy too much..."
"Now someone is bringing machine guns to our lips. If we don't accept them, we would be really sorry for God's kindness!"
"I think there's something wrong here!" The third boss sent by the Japanese interrupted decisively!
"We intercepted the Eighth Route Army's grain transport team several times. We learned a lot and gained wisdom. No matter how stupid they are, they can't make mistakes on the same thing consecutively. I think there is something wrong with the Eighth Route Army down the mountain. Maybe the Eighth Route Army arranged it for us.
A trap!”
Nan Honglie hated and loved this third leader.
This man is very talented. Under his leadership, the combat effectiveness of the village has increased in a straight line. Nan Honglie sees it and is happy in his heart.
But he was sent by the Japanese to seize power, and wanted to completely control Nanfeng Village through the Third Master.
In half a year, many small bosses have been attracted by him, and he is the only one who follows his lead...
Maybe in half a year, I, the big boss, will be ignored by him.
In order to maintain his status and rights in the village, Nan Honglie began to target the third leader and restrict his rights a few months ago.
But behind him stood a Japanese who had money, power, and guns, and he couldn't deal with him openly. As a result, his gains in the past few months were almost zero, and the third boss's say in the village became more and more important.
, he is about to surpass the second master.
He decided to take advantage of the incident in front of him to attack the Third Master, and immediately denied it.
"Third Master, you are worrying too much!"
"The Eighth Route Army transporting this batch of weapons, ammunition and food is not the Eighth Route Army we have encountered before!"
"They just arrived in northwestern Shanxi. Their combat effectiveness is slightly stronger than the Eighth Route Army we encountered before. They don't understand the local conditions, so they dared to send a platoon of troops to Nanfeng Mountain to transport supplies!"
"If we can capture this transport team, not only can we harvest a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food, but we can also further show our sincerity in cooperation to Lieutenant Colonel Okai!"
"Hasn't Lieutenant Colonel Okai always wanted to cooperate with us to fight against the Eighth Route Army? I'll take the lead and eat one of their platoons first!"
Nan Honglie also had another purpose in doing this.
The more Eighth Route Army soldiers you kill, the more confident you will be in negotiating with the Japanese in the future!"
If one day in the future, the copycat is really adapted by the Japanese into the Imperial Association Army, the more benefits I will get.
The third boss was sent by the Japanese. Nan Honglie told all the captains of the Lieutenant Colonel who were far away in the county. He also said that this operation was carried out to show sincerity to the captains. He had no reason to object no matter how much he thought about it.
Can nod in agreement.
Nan Honglie took the opportunity to order: "The third master has been in the village for so long, but he has never participated in an operation... I decided to leave this operation to the third master to command!"
"Deploying four teams of troops and more than 120 brothers to join the battle..."
"Give the third master two more light machine guns... we should be able to successfully capture more than thirty Eighth Route Army troops..."
The third master was very happy at first, but after hearing about the troops assigned to him by Nan Honglie, he suddenly became angry!
More than a hundred people were all his confidants after joining the Shanzhai. The boss sent them to go out with him, making it clear that he wanted the Eighth Route Army to consume his strength in the Shanzhai.
But Nan Honglie was the boss, and he couldn't find any reason to refute what he said, so he could only nod and accept the order.
