Li Yunlong's eyes almost glowed green when he heard this.
"Good guy, every time we had to cross mountains in the past, we couldn't bring many heavy weapons with us. This was basically the same situation for the little devils, so we had to hide or bury them on the spot.
But now that we have these crawler-type tractor vehicles, wouldn’t it mean that all the mountains and plains can become our artillery positions?
Haha, damn, it sounds so good! I think we should hurry up and take action, I can’t help but start our new mountain bombardment operation in advance!"
The three major generals are here.
Naturally, the Iron Triangle Army stood still, not even a single soldier was put into the battlefield. The soldiers were sharpening their swords one by one, waiting for orders from Kong Jie and the others!
But what is publicized is that the Iron Triangle Army has been fully engaged in combat.
Even the Japanese army sent out communications saying that they were fighting to the death with the Eighth Route Army's steel-helmeted soldiers on the frontline battlefield.
HH?
It turned out that this time it was based on the deployment of the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, that is, the plan of the deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of staff, Kong Jie and other generals.
The Eighth Route Army's base areas and main forces will indeed engage in all-out operations to contain the Japanese army and respond to the frontal battlefield.
But they would also secretly hide the most elite Iron Triangle helmeted soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Wait for opportunities to fight and carry out more important military operations.
The so-called Iron Triangle Group Army that was promoted to the outside world, that is, the so-called Steel Helmets who were fighting to the death with the Japanese army, were actually troops led by Lao Cheng, Lao Wang, and Lao Xu, fighting under the banner of the Iron Triangle Group Army.
This is about Kong Jie’s wisdom.
Since then, the Steel Helmets have gained a reputation throughout North China, and have even become a lingering nightmare for the Japanese and puppet troops.
Whenever these ordinary Japanese and puppet troops encountered Eighth Route Army troops holding steel-helmeted flagpoles, most of them fled without engaging in combat.
Seeing the majestic reputation of the steel-helmeted soldiers and how easy they were to use their gold-lettered signboard, Kong Jie naturally started to think carefully.
Over the past six months, with the technical assistance and resources of the Special Experimental Zone, major production bases in various stable bases of the Eighth Route Army have been successfully established.
In the past, there were no such factories, and the soldiers could only survive on captured goods and a small amount of reinforcements from all sides. In the winter, most soldiers could not even wear a cotton-padded jacket.
Things are different now. We can produce them ourselves, so there is no shortage of military shoes, military uniforms and the like.
Soon after, at Kong Jie's suggestion, the general headquarters also issued an order to try to integrate and unify the logistics of each base area.
In other words, no matter which army you belong to or which base area you are from in the future, as long as you are the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army, you will basically be issued with the same military uniforms, military shoes and combat equipment.
As for steel helmets, almost everyone has one.
Except for body armor and bulletproof inserts, which are only issued to some elite assault troops, other equipment is basically the same.
As a result, let alone little devils, even members of the Eighth Route Army could not tell clearly which one of the teams standing together was the elite steel-helmeted soldier and which one was the ordinary combat army.
Kong Jie’s explanation for this is: “The best way to hide an elite force is actually to create a large number of such elite troops.
Aren't the little Japs afraid of our helmeted soldiers? Then let's unify the logistics and make the teams exactly the same so that the Japs can't tell the difference.
As a result, the little devil had to worry about whether he would encounter steel-helmeted soldiers every time he fought. He was already very timid before the battle even started.
This is called completely crushing the enemy in terms of combat momentum!"
This actual combat shows that the effect is indeed effective.
When the troops of Lao Cheng, Lao Xu, and Lao Wang took on the banner of the Iron Triangle Helmets of the Eighth Route Army, and showed strong combat effectiveness and quite sophisticated equipment.
The little Japanese, who suffered heavy casualties from the powerful Eighth Route Army in a brief confrontation, had no doubts about this.
The little devils who were howling after being beaten even expressed in the communication requesting for help: They were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army's steel-helmeted soldiers and suffered heavy casualties. They requested immediate reinforcements!
I don't know since when, in the eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops, being defeated by the Eighth Route Army's steel-helmeted soldiers was no longer a shameful thing, and even asking for help became a reasonable thing.
The ones who were a little depressed were Lao Cheng, Lao Xu and Lao Wang who took the place of the Iron Triangle Army.
Among them, Lao Cheng scolded him the most: "Why does this bastard Li Yunlong take all the good things from his grandma?"
Lao Xu on the side was a real person and couldn't help but ask: "Old Cheng, did you scold the wrong person? Why did you scold Lao Li?"
Lao Cheng said: "Bah, it's Li Yunlong I'm scolding! Tell me how virtuous and capable this guy Li Yunlong is. When I led the 772nd Regiment, this guy was the first battalion commander, and he would curse at us all day long.
A blind Cheng yelled at everyone he saw - "When you taught us how to shoot, didn't you just join the army a few days earlier than me? What's so great about it?"
Later, it was just because his head was bigger that he had good luck?
They brought a new second regiment, but they happened to be influenced by Lao Kong, and they became a kind of North Shanxi Iron Triangle. Now their reputation is getting bigger and bigger.
This time it was even more irritating. We worked hard at the front to direct the battle, and finally managed to achieve some results. We beat the Japanese to the point of losing their armor. The result was good. When the little Japanese opened his mouth, he said that the Iron Triangle Army was the most powerful and the steel-helmeted soldiers.
have to.
Does it have anything to do with us?
I, Old Cheng, have become his shadow, Li Yunlong!"
Ha ha ha ha--
"Okay, okay, Lao Cheng, don't say anything if you're depressed. Who should let the little devil be afraid of the Iron Triangle's steel-helmeted soldiers?"
Lao Wang said, and then he had an idea and said: "I think after this battle is over, our three troops will also form a combat force with a special title.
As for what the name should be, we have to think about it carefully. It has to be domineering and can scare the little devils into trembling when pulled out. The name cannot be worse than those of the Helmeted Soldiers!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, this is a good idea, I think it will work!" Lao Cheng immediately agreed.
Lao Xu then expressed his agreement.
According to Lao Wang's meaning: "Although we are pretending to be steel-helmet soldiers fighting at the moment, after this battle is completely over, things will eventually be exposed. By then, the little devils will know that the fighting force they encountered is so powerful.
A force as powerful as the Steel Helmets turns out to be our team!"
The three of them hit it off immediately and became even more energetic when fighting the Japanese.
…
On the other side, inside the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Military Region Headquarters.
In sharp contrast to the busyness of other commanders, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, who appeared leisurely, were analyzing the current battle situation on the military simulation sand table in front of them.
Kong Jie said: "In terms of overall occupation, there are more and more areas where fighting is breaking out. It's chaos, chaos, and it's completely turned into a pot of porridge.
It was so enjoyable! This battle was so good!
The Japs are also mobilizing more and more troops. Some time ago, the Kwantung Army secretly mobilized by the Japs to go south has basically surfaced.
Let's fight. The more chaotic the fight, the better. The more lively the fight, the better. If we continue to fight, the little devil's defensive loopholes will only increase."
According to the battle plan specially discussed between Kong Jie and the boss, deputy chief of staff and other leaders.
In this operation, all forces were mobilized to completely hide the Iron Triangle Army.
It was just to create opportunities for the Iron Triangle Army to secretly advance to the eastern Mongolia region while fighting bad battles everywhere, and to be ready to launch an assault on the Manzhouli area at any time in order to advance to the Greater Khingan Range.
Of course, at present, as more and more Kwantung Army troops moving south are exposed, the Iron Triangle Army, which is still undergoing secret training, has also deployed some troops under Kong Jie's arrangement to assist the Eighth Route Army in the local base area.
.
On the one hand, it is to withstand the attack of the elite Kwantung Army.
On the other hand, it also allowed these soldiers to become more familiar with the combat characteristics and style of the Japanese Kwantung Army, so as to pave the way for subsequent operations in Manchuria and the Greater Khingan Mountains.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan was a little worried: "Lao Kong, the scale used by the Japanese this time is unprecedented. In addition, a large number of Kwantung Army participated in the war. Although our army has grown and developed a lot in recent years, we still want to confront the main force of the Japanese army."
Still not very realistic.
And according to the news coming back from the front line, it is clear that the little Japs are not willing to fight.
They didn't even bother us to fight like they did in the past. Instead, they retreated with one blow. Instead, they looted and looted a lot of crops outside our base area.
It seems that the Japanese are here to destroy the construction and development of our base area!"
Kong Jie smiled and said disapprovingly: "I had expected that the little devil would be able to do this. As we said before, the development of both industry and agriculture in this base area cannot be separated from military support in order to gain the support of the base area."
stable.
The Japanese want to destroy the core industrial foundation of our base area. I can only say that they think too much.
Our various important factories are basically built in solid core base areas. Unless the little devils spend a lot of money to carry out a tough battle and break through all our solid defense lines on the outside, it is possible to destroy our industrial foundation.
But for the Japanese, this is clearly not worth the gain.
It's really a big deal. At worst, we can resort to another side tactic and switch houses with the little devil.
As for the agricultural areas in the outer base areas, don't worry, our agricultural department has already been prepared. There are a large number of old armored vehicles seized last year that have been converted into engineering vehicles and harvesters.
Our harvest efficiency will be much faster than before. The poor devils thought that we were harvesting manually as before. When the devils paid heavy casualties and finally broke in, they were dumbfounded to find that only the crops in the farmland were left.
It’s completely bare underneath.”
Hearing what Kong Jie said, Xu Guoan also laughed, "That's true. So we really have nothing to worry about!"
"So all we need to do next is to hold on to the base and lead the enemy by the nose.
No matter whether it is the Kwantung Army or the Kwanei Army, it doesn't make much difference to me if it enters our base area and is on our territory!
As long as the battlefield is within our base area, we are all short of ammunition, supplies, and fortifications. On the contrary, because of the lengthened logistics line, the Japanese cannot carry out a protracted war. As before, they can only win a quick victory.
Then we will fight steadily, follow the same old rules, continue to implement the weekly tactics, and hold off the Japs for about a week at a stretch. When the Japs are exhausted and exhausted of ammunition and food, we will launch a counterattack." Kong Jie said confidently.
Then, on the battlefield, the Kwantung Army's Yamashita Fengfumi's troops and Inoue Yoshisa's troops, which showed strong combat effectiveness and destructive capabilities compared with the Japanese troops in the pass, soon broke into the sight of Kong Jie and the others.
middle.
After experiencing the battle to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, Kong Jie and others can be said to be the most experienced in dealing with the Kwantung Army among the generals of the Eighth Route Army.
Looking at the red arrows on the military sand table indicating the dynamics of the two Kwantung Army units, Yamashita Tomobumi and Inoue Yoshisa.
The indicator arrow belonging to the Kwantung Army troops belonging to Yamashita Fengfumi, after advancing to Xi'an, turned around and headed towards Chongqing.
This made Li Yunlong couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Damn, this little devil is quite interesting, he has a really big appetite, he looks like he is going straight to Chongqing.
There are only 60,000 Japanese troops. Do you really think that the world is invincible? How dare you run rampant in the pass without restraint?
Seeing such a big piece of fat running around makes my mouth water. If we didn't have a battle plan, I really want to organize troops to eat this little devil!"
Ding Wei on the side couldn't help but teased: "Old Li, we are all our own people here, so we should take it easy when we brag.
We were able to kill the Inoue Division last time. Although our Iron Triangle Army was the main force in the battle, almost all the main forces of our Eighth Route Army were mobilized.
In addition, by attacking around a fixed point, they successfully lured the Inoue division to the Yangyuan area, and then used the raised terrain on all sides of Yangyuan to lay siege.
Only then did the predetermined combat goal be achieved. Even then, the battle was still extremely difficult.
After that battle, our elite veterans also lost a lot, and they were replenished later. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to pull them out to fight the Kwantung Army in advance this time and accumulate experience.
And this Yamashita Tobumi's unit is obviously a team that fights on the move and is constantly moving. Its strength is about twice that of the Inoue Division.
If you want to defeat such a strong opponent in one go, it is simply impossible except to brag!"
Li Yunlong said: "Let me tell you, Old Ding, you really don't have the art of speaking. You just don't open the pot and lift it. Otherwise, you are still a bachelor now?"
Ding Wei: "..."
Kong Jie took over the conversation with a smile: "Old Ding is right. Regarding the Kwantung Army and the Inoue Armored Division going south, what we can do is mainly to block and contain them, and try to slow down their pace in the pass.
Such a large Kwantung Army consisted of more than 100,000 troops.
Even if the Kwantung Army has more than one million troops stationed in the pass, one-tenth of it will be lost in one fell swoop. We still have to be wary of the Soviet army, and the border garrison will definitely be affected. There will always be a loophole for us to get through.
By then, with our Iron Triangle Army here and combined with Commander Fu's 35th Route Army, I don't believe we can't open up a troop dispatch channel in the Greater Khingan Mountains."
