"Tell me again: Why did you ignore your identity as an Eighth Route Army soldier and choose to use your identity as a bandit to fight the Japanese? You also used the opportunity to buy mules and horses to stage a show of bandits robbing people in the town?" Kong Jie continued to ask.
"Two reasons!" Huang Yu explained.
"The last time we had an encounter with the Sakata Regiment, our independent regiment had already registered with the Japanese army. If we show up a few more times and attract more attention from the Japanese and puppet troops, the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely take the independent regiment in the next big sweep.
If the regiment is listed as a key target, then the pressure on us will be great!"
"That's a good idea!" Kong Jie answered with a smile.
"The Independent Group is too weak and is really not suitable to be the leader. We can use our status as bandits to quietly make a fortune and secretly increase our strength. When the devils fully react, we will already have the strength to fight against them!"
"What about the second reason?"
Huang Yu continued to explain: "Reducing the pressure on ordinary people in enemy-occupied areas!"
"The Eighth Route Army and the common people are as close as one family. Wherever the troops go, base areas are usually built there."
"The devils know everything about our development strategy!"
"If the Japanese army knew that there were Eighth Route Army activities in Wushan Town, they would definitely think that there were our people among the local people, so they would immediately send troops to raid the area and not allow us to establish a base there."
"If we were not found, we would probably vent our anger on the local people, and then we would be guilty."
"If the Japanese army thought that the troops that attacked the Wushan Town stronghold were a band of vigilantes roaming around, they would not be able to find a target if they wanted to retaliate, and they would have no choice but to let it go."
"Although the 27 mules and horses used to transport the trophies were purchased, these transactions were all conducted privately, and they were all robbed by us."
"The local people have suffered heavy losses from our robbery. No matter how shameless the devil is, it will be hard to vent his anger on them..."
The smile on Kong Jie's face grew thicker, and he looked at Huang Yuhao and praised him without hesitation: "You did a good job in this!"
"Before taking action, it is difficult for ordinary people to think through all the risks that the security squad may face, and also consider the risks that the independent group may face, and come up with countermeasures!"
"Especially to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from venting their anger on the local people for losing their stronghold, they were very thoughtful and the countermeasures were very good!"
"Our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people. No matter what we do, we must put the safety of the villagers first!"
After saying that, he ordered the chief of staff: "Immediately notify the three battalion commanders, the guard company commander, and the reconnaissance company commander, and come to the regiment headquarters as quickly as possible for a meeting. You will organize it."
"Each unit temporarily sets up a reinforced commando team and equips them with the best weapons. The infantry is equipped with sixty rounds of ammunition as standard, the machine gun is equipped with two hundred rounds of ammunition as standard, the grenade can is equipped with five grenades as standard, and the rifleman is equipped with another standard
Comes with three hand grenades or hand grenades.”
"If you don't have enough ammunition, you can apply to the regiment headquarters. You can't miss a single bullet."
"Separate all the mules and horses just brought back by the baggage company and the guard squad, five for each reinforced squad!"
"Each soldier must also be given ordinary civilian clothes and five days of rations."
"Let the company platoon leader who is best at sports warfare in the regiment lead the team and be ready to go at any time!"
"By the way, tell them about some of the victorious battles fought by the guard squad deep into enemy-occupied areas, and study them carefully!"
"Captain, you also want to send people deep into enemy-occupied areas to take advantage of the Japanese and puppet troops!" the chief of staff stood nearby the whole time, and made a bold guess as soon as he heard Kong Jie's order.
"What do you think of this idea?" Kong Jie did not answer directly, but asked calmly.
"Excellent!" The chief of staff had already heard this with enthusiasm. He was very supportive of this proposal and praised it without hesitation.
If conditions didn't allow it, he would have personally led a commando team to fight deep into enemy-occupied areas.
Say what's on your mind right away.
"If the Japanese and puppet troops in other enemy-occupied areas are like the Wushan Town stronghold and usually lack vigilance, the troops we send out will definitely gain a lot of benefits!"
"The five mules and horses of each commando team are fully loaded with equipment and supplies and return to the station. The weapons gap of the independent regiment will be solved!"
"I unconditionally support this action!"
"According to discipline, the regiment headquarters has the right to mobilize a main company to participate in the battle. The total strength of the five attacking troops does not exceed one company!"
"The brigade commander won't say anything if he knows!"
"How about we set off after forming the commando team?"
"No, this matter must be reported to the brigade commander. I can only send troops with the consent of the brigade headquarters!" Kong Jie suddenly interrupted.
"If the attacking troops only move within the base area, I can just give the order myself!"
"The attacking troops are going to enemy-occupied areas, and they have to go deep into enemy-occupied areas for dozens of miles before they can move. This is no small matter!"
“Let’s do both!”
"You form a commando team at the station, and I will report to the brigade commander!"
"If the superiors promote this style of play, not only will our independent regiment benefit, but other Eighth Route Army troops will also benefit a lot."
"The commando team will set off as soon as the brigade commander turns around. Be sure to reap the full benefits before other troops take action!"
"I'll leave for the brigade headquarters in a moment and give the brigade commander some goodies by the way!"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, we can't hide in the regiment headquarters and eat dumplings, while the brigade commander guards the brigade headquarters and eats steamed buns!"
Huang Yu stood nearby and was dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie was so far-sighted that one of his unintentional actions turned into a huge fighter jet when it reached him.
Five commando teams went deep into enemy-occupied areas at the same time. Each commando team brought back a platoon of weapons and equipment, and the independent regiment's weapons gap was solved.
What Huang Yu admires most is Kong Jie’s overall perspective.
When I encounter a good tactical method, I don’t want to monopolize it. I promote it as soon as possible so that more troops can benefit from it.
While feeling emotional, Huang Yu asked in a low voice: "Commander, the guard squad has just fought a victory in the enemy-occupied area. We are familiar with the enemy situation and terrain there, and the troops and equipment are good. How about we be included in this attack?"
!”
"I can't guarantee anything else. It will definitely be no problem to bring back twenty or thirty rifles. Please ask the regiment leader for approval!"
"It's not impossible to let you go!" Kong Jie didn't refuse!
He believed in the strength of the guard team, but he still gave a reminder!
"The first guard squad is mainly made up of new recruits. They have almost no combat effectiveness. No matter what happens outside, you, as the squad leader, have the responsibility to bring them back to the station safely!"
Huang Yu was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground.
The battle in Wushan Town was fought secretly by myself. With the command from the regiment leader, I no longer need to be timid in the next attack.
Immediately assured: "Captain, don't worry, the sixteen members of the guard squad will definitely return to the station intact!"
