The wedding of Kong Jie and Shen Wenyue progressed to the afternoon of the third day.
In accordance with the instructions from the headquarters, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched an attack and broke through a series of blockades set by the Japanese army amid overwhelming momentum.
The Japanese army was caught off guard and successfully completed the encirclement of Licheng, the logistics center of the Japanese 36th Division.
The sudden big move of the Eighth Route Army surprised all the representatives who came to the Eighth Route Army base to celebrate the wedding.
The big-headed receptionist was introducing to representatives from various countries, representatives from all parties, and reporters from all over the country with a stern expression:
"This time, in accordance with the instructions of the former enemy headquarters of our Eighth Route Army, we took advantage of the collective military wedding to paralyze the Japanese army's judgment to launch a sneak attack on Licheng again, destroying the logistics hub of the little devils in Shanxi in one fell swoop."
Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, looked at the big-headed receptionist and asked with a smile: "Brother Yunlong, I wonder what the strategic intentions of your Eighth Route Army are in this sudden attack on Licheng, an important city of the Japanese army?"<
/p>
But he said that the big-headed receptionist was not Li Yunlong, who else could he be?
It turns out that this is what happened, and I don’t know if this big-headed old Li gradually drifted away because he created a rapid reaction force directly under Taihang.
Not long ago, this boy dared to play a trick on the brigade commander and gave the brigade commander some mustard produced by a seasoning mill. He also asked the brigade commander to squeeze in as much as possible, saying that it would be enough to eat it in one bite.
Son.
As you can imagine, the brigadier who swallowed the mustard sauce was so angry that he touched his whip everywhere. Li Yunlong was so frightened that he ran away.
There are quite a few generals who have fallen into the hands of Li Yunlong in this regard.
When he was in the 120th Division, Li Yunlong deceived the commanders of the 120th Division by shaking the carbonated drinks vigorously before drinking them, saying that the harder they were shaken, the better they would taste. As a result, he tricked many people.
As for Lao Li, he will definitely get a beating.
However, this guy is so thick-skinned, he actually enjoys it.
This time I dared to trick the brigade commander.
Probably because he, Lao Li, has been "blackmailed" over the phone for so many years, so he needs to be naughty.
If you don’t want the brigade commander to get “wrathful”, then just choose Li Yunlong as the person in charge of representatives and reporters from all parties.
Poor old Li just missed the attack on Licheng and was sent to a team to work as a receptionist.
This is the scene before us.
Of course, according to the headquarters' pre-plan, Li Yunlong's battle was not in Licheng, but was responsible for the mobile combat unit when the battle between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army in Licheng was intensifying.
Long-distance detours back to northern Shanxi, and even into Inner Mongolia to fight.
Back to the present.
Facing Chu Yunfei's inquiry, Li Yunlong smiled and replied: "Strategic intention? Kill the Japanese!"
Just this answer is very interesting.
In Chu Yunfei's view, Li Yunlong was obviously fooling him and did not want to answer.
The Eighth Route Army’s true operational intention in attacking Licheng.
Kill the Japanese?
Nonsense, in this battle between China and Japan, which battle is not about killing Japanese soldiers?
It's a pity that Li Yunlong didn't know Chu Yunfei's inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely scream grievances. After all, this time, according to Kong Jie's proposal and the final order of the headquarters, the Eighth Route Army's surprise attack on Licheng and the operations around Licheng were specially created.
The slaughterhouse is really just for killing Japanese people.
Lao Confucius said it well:
Blood debts must be repaid with blood. Only by killing the son of a bitch will the little devil cry for his father and mother, and let the little devil's fear of our Eighth Route Army sink deep into his bones.
This protracted anti-Japanese war can be considered a real victory.
Chu Yunfei didn't understand Li Yunlong's words. Seeing that Li Yunlong had no intention of continuing to explain, he stopped asking any more questions.
After all, the two sides in this battle are still the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army.
The Shanxi-Sui Army units like the 358th Regiment, including the Chiang Kai-shek Army units, just want to quietly watch the show.
……
A team headquarters.
Not far from the headquarters, the Logistics Department specially prepared a tidy wedding room for the detachment leader Kong Jie and the bride Shen Wenyue.
The wedding procedures have basically been completed. According to the normal steps, it will be time for Captain Kong and the bride to enter the bridal chamber tonight.
It’s just a war emergency.
When rushing to the headquarters, before leaving, Kong Jie smiled apologetically and said softly: "Wenyue, I'm sorry, I have to be busy with war matters on my wedding day."
Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "Old Kong, look at what you said, we are married for a lifetime. A lifetime is so long, is there still a few days left?"
"Haha, you are worthy of being a great reporter. This level of consciousness is high. Don't worry, when this battle is over and we are done with our busy schedule, we will definitely come back and seize the time to get down to business!" Kong Jie said seriously.
"What's the business?" Shen Wenyue was obviously stunned.
Kong Jie said without changing his expression: "Let's give him an intensive class! If we want to continue the revolutionary fire, we must pay close attention!"
After finishing speaking, Kong Jie quickly slipped away before Shen Wenyue could react.
Shen Wenyue, who had regained consciousness, could faintly curse from behind, with a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
No one thought that Captain Kong, who had always been loyal and honest, could be so playful and fun after getting married.
It's quite interesting.
..."Haha, Lao Kong, I really have you. I just got married and let the bride stay alone in the empty room.
You said you did too. This battle is so well-arranged. One more you is not more, and one less you is not less. If you don’t stay with your wife well, why are you still here?"
In the headquarters, after Kong Jie arrived, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan smiled and joked.
Kong Jie smiled and scolded: "Ah! If I really don't come, you will probably laugh at me for a whole year. Besides, I have been single for so many years, and I am not missing a few days."
After joking, everyone quickly got to the point.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan reported the situation to Kong Jie: "Lao Kong, according to our preliminary combat plan, the First Regiment, Second Regiment, and various troops have successfully broken through the Japanese blockade with the help of caravan disguises.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At present, the combat troops are mainly divided into two parts. One part is advancing outside Licheng to conduct a blockade, and the other part is to support our second echelon combat troops from inside to break through the Japanese blockade."
Today is different from the past.
As the size of a detachment gradually expands, and as the Eighth Route Army's communication system gradually improves, detachment leaders like Kong Jie, as the detachment's top military commander, will, as usual, lead the charge on the battlefield with a ghost-headed sword.
The chance is basically gone.
Unless the Japanese army completely captured a team, Kong Jie was also completely surrounded by the Japanese army.
Among the military reforms that are gradually being carried out by a team, one of the key points that Kong Jie pays special attention to is how to effectively solve the problem of mutual communication between various combat units.
In this regard, Kong Jie made an image comparison:
On the battlefield, especially in mountainous areas where troops are easily dispersed.
The same two combat troops, provided there is no difference in other aspects, three companies that can communicate with each other at will can easily defeat a combat battalion without an effective communication system with the help of coordinated operations.
Later, in the military meeting held at the headquarters, Kong Jie proposed a proposal to specially build a communication system between the Eighth Route Army combat units in the Taihang Base Area.
Kong Jie believes:
"Only by effectively ensuring the close communication capabilities between various base areas and combat units can the strength of a regiment be used as a regiment, and the strength of a brigade be used as a brigade.
A piece of loose sand, if you can find its core point and gather all the power, it will be an indestructible fist!"
Including this time before attacking Licheng, the Eighth Route Army also made special preparations for the communication system.
In this surprise offensive and defensive battle against Licheng, all the troops attempted a joint attack for the first time.
This was a fairly large-scale joint operation between various Eighth Route Army base areas and units.
Each unit has established liaison in advance, provided communication support, and signal corpsmen, buglers, telegraph operators, walkie-talkie operators, signal gunners, flag carriers, etc. all perform their duties.
All units and bases must conduct offensive and defensive drills before the war, as well as communication coordination drills for each unit.
Make sure that once the battle begins, you must attack resolutely, defend steadily, and coordinate with each other. Support when necessary, retreat when necessary, and attack when necessary.
You must not drag your feet and dilly-dally.
..."How is the combat situation with the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment?"
Kong Jie asked about the situation in detail.
Xu Guoan smiled and said an interesting thing: "Lao Kong, I was just about to tell you about this matter, but it turned out to be very interesting unexpectedly.
Guess what?
Our combat troops, who have successfully penetrated the inner lines, are cooperating with the 771st Regiment, 772nd Regiment, New First Regiment and New Second Regiment to break through the Japanese blockade.
As soon as the battle begins, as soon as our offensive begins, we will pull out the offensive artillery and blast it with one round of artillery.
I originally thought that since the little devils had specially built concrete structure defenses during this period, this small-caliber artillery might not have much effect.
Therefore, the main purpose of this round of artillery is to test the enemy's firepower and cover our infantry attack.
The result was that we soldiers were dumbfounded. With just a few Type 92 infantry cannons, the most difficult gun towers in the Japanese stronghold were completely destroyed by one round of bombardment! p>
"This is really weird to say. When did this concrete structure become so vulnerable?"
With a look of emotion on his face, Xu Guoan explained:
"Later, I learned the situation. The sentimental Japanese security forces were also very shady. When building these fortifications, there were many people who cut corners and enriched their own pockets.
As we marched all the way, the Japanese strongholds, gun towers and blockades we encountered on the way all appeared to be made of concrete structures, but at least six or seven out of ten were clearly paper tigers that could be broken with just one poke. p>
It turns out that the Japanese and puppet soldiers just put a layer of cement on the surface of the original masonry structure, which became the so-called concrete fortification. They were just fucking fooling their superiors!"
After hearing this, all the cadres were stunned for a moment.
I thought there were many weirdos among Chiang Kai-shek's troops and local warlords.
Emotionally, the devil's security forces are not much better.
But what is interesting is that although the little devils built a shabby project on the blockade near the Eighth Route Army base area.
However, in the defense of the inner line of the security zone, the various fortifications specially built are all made of concrete structures.
Some important bunkers and machine gun fortifications are even built with reinforced concrete structures.
Not to mention that the Type 92 infantry escaped, even a larger-caliber artillery might not be able to penetrate it.
According to the situation reported from the independent regiment headquarters.
Under the rapid attack of the main force of the regiment, the Japanese army was caught off guard and had to abandon their positions and withdraw to defend Licheng. All the original defensive positions and various combat fortifications were basically undamaged and were completely occupied by the comrades of the regiment.
After that, with the help of the sophisticated equipment at hand, the group used the fortifications left by the little devils to launch defense on the spot.
As for the various fortifications built by the little devils, the defensive deployment of the entire position is not unreasonable. The trenches and bunkers are connected to each other, and the distribution of machine guns and artillery is reasonable and abnormal, ensuring that every defense of the entire position can be taken care of. The defense can be described as
Gu Ruotang.
Lei Dasheng, the head of the first regiment, once said happily in the report:
"Old commander, this reinforced concrete structure defense fortification specially built by the Japanese is really not an exaggeration. It is just a heavy machine gun bunker. I deployed three heavy machine guns inside. A squad of soldiers, with sufficient firepower,
, forcefully repulsed a Japanese brigade and attacked as many as five times.
Our army had no casualties, and the Japanese army suffered more than 200 casualties!
Looking out from the mouth of the machine gun, the ground is full of corpses. This battle was so damn exciting!
The Japanese were also completely angered. Several infantry guns fired dozens of shots at our bunker, but they still failed to capture our bunker fortifications.
When we hit the back, our soldiers were so numb that we almost forgot that the people rushing outside were real people!"
In response to this, Kong Jie and his party analyzed with astonishment:
"The Japs did a good job of honoring the project. The outer lines close to our base area were built with shoddy construction. However, some of the defenses close to the inner lines were made particularly strong because they could be inspected by superiors at any time.
As a result, the Japanese did not expect that the Eighth Route Army suddenly attacked Licheng and successfully broke through the shells of these impregnable fortifications with the help of caravans.
On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army was greatly benefited from the huge fortifications made of concrete."
Now it’s interesting.
The Japanese army shot themselves in the foot.
Just let the little devils have a good taste of the power of the various fortifications of their specially built concrete structures.
Facing those fortifications that are even reinforced concrete structures, it is not so easy to destroy them even with the various attack artillery that the little devils have on hand.
In addition, the equipment level of the main combat units of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area has been greatly improved, and their combat firepower at the squad and platoon level is no less than that of the Japanese army.
And with the help of these solid fortifications, various bunkers, trenches, and gun towers, a large amount of automatic firepower can be set up. No special firepower is needed. As long as the number of light and heavy machine guns is sufficient and the ammunition is sufficient, it is possible to shoot more with less.
It was built into a flesh-and-blood mill that continuously eroded the strength of the Japanese army...
