Kong Jie's guess was correct. The Changpo stronghold was captured silently, which indeed caused quite a storm.
And as time brewed, the storm became bigger and bigger, and finally even exceeded Kong Jie's expectation.
Sakata Wing Headquarters.
Not long ago, I received a hint from the headquarters, asking Bantian Regiment to pay attention to the Eighth Route Army's movements in the Cangyun Ridge area.
Nobutetsu Sakata, who has a keen military sense, realized that perhaps soon, his superiors would issue an order to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, Sakata gave the intelligence department a death order early on, asking the intelligence department to pay close attention to any movements of the Eighth Route Army in the Cangyunling area.
The news that the Changpo stronghold was uprooted was almost the first one to reach the Bantian Wing headquarters.
According to the intelligence passed back, the Changpo stronghold was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at night, and more than 100 Imperial and Imperial Army troops in the stronghold were completely wiped out.
It can be inferred from the fighting situation that the total fighting duration did not exceed one hour, and the garrison at the Changpo stronghold did not send any support communications to the surrounding garrison.
This is the place that shocked the Japanese army the most.
Due to the strong turrets of the Changpo stronghold, the sophisticated firepower deployment, and the sufficient ammunition reserves, even if the enemy forces attack with thousands of main troops, the troops in the stronghold will not be unable to send out a telegram asking for help. p>
Nobuyuki Sakata was a little surprised when he heard the news.
He had never looked down upon the Eighth Route Army, which had backward equipment and low-quality soldiers, and could only engage in guerrilla warfare and harassment behind enemy lines.
During the general sweeps, he fought against the Eighth Route Army and once defeated the main force of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army in just half an hour.
According to the information obtained by the accompanying Imperial Army from nearby people.
The Eighth Route Army he defeated seemed to be a regiment under the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, called the Independent Regiment.
However, in Sakata Nobutsu's view, the combat effectiveness of this independent group was too disappointing.
Even if the equipment is backward, ammunition is scarce, and the quality of the soldiers is extremely poor, there is nothing surprising about the commander's tactics.
Nobuyuki Sakata just used the tactics of frontal artillery containment and flanking attack, and he almost wiped out the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
After that battle, Sakata Nobutsu no longer paid much attention to the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines.
You must know that the Bantian Regiment is directly under the command of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese North China Front. The Fourth Brigade is the most powerful Class A division team of the North China Front.
The combat effectiveness of the Sakata Regiment is evident. It has always been known as the elite of the Japanese army and is even known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army".
Having said this, don’t think that this old devil Sakata is bragging.
The old Japanese soldier Bantian has a proud record. He once commanded the Bantian Regiment to defeat two divisions of the Central Army in the Battle of Xinkou on the frontal battlefield.
Not to mention the distance, the Jinsui Army has the 358th Regiment, which is also an elite team with strong soldiers and horses (of course, Chu Yunfei has not yet developed the 358th Regiment at this time, and its strength is only about 2,000).
However, after the two sides suddenly encountered each other in Luye, and within an hour of fighting, the 358th Regiment suffered nearly 300 casualties. If Chu Yunfei had not made a decisive decision and quickly used the artillery battalion to cover the retreat of the entire regiment, the entire 358th Regiment would have probably been killed.
Can be completely wiped out by the Sakata United Team on the road.
But this time, the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, which originally seemed to Sakata Nobutetsu not to be feared at all, gave him a little surprise.
The Changpo stronghold was actually destroyed without anyone noticing.
At the Bantian Wing Headquarters, after reading the information about the removal of the Changpo stronghold, the calm-faced old Japanese soldier Bantian could not help but smile with disdain.
He spoke slowly, and what he said in Japanese was translated into Chinese like this:
"At the Changpo stronghold, the Eighth Route Army made a sneak attack at night? It's interesting. It seems to be making great progress! It's time to destroy these harboring rats in one fell swoop with a large-scale raid."
A large-scale mopping up plan for the Eighth Route Army's base area around Cangyunling soon emerged in Sakata Nobutsu's mind.
Kong Jie, who successfully captured the Changpo stronghold, probably never dreamed of it.
Originally, the Japanese army had no plan to carry out a raid on the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time.
It was Kong Jie who attacked the Changpo stronghold at night and ended the battle with an overwhelming victory, which shocked the Japanese troops and aroused Sakata Nobutsu's murderous intention.
The Japanese army's mopping up plan to deal with the 386th Brigade was greatly advanced.
The time coincides with the system information obtained by Kong Jie:
Fifteen days later!
All in all, there are less than seven days left.
The other side.
386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Brigade Headquarters.
Because the brigade headquarters was too far away from the Changpo stronghold, the news that the Changpo stronghold was successfully exterminated by Kong Jie's independent regiment was not delivered to the brigade headquarters until after dawn.
News from the brigade headquarters arrived through channels, and the communications troops sent by Kong Jie also arrived at the back, reporting in more detail to the brigade commander and others about the independent regiment's night attack on the Changpo stronghold.
The brigade commander was overjoyed to learn that the Changpo stronghold was successfully eradicated.
"I really didn't expect it! This kid Kong Jie has always been very secretive. I always thought he was a general who was a bit rigid in fighting. But I didn't expect that this time I was wrong and this guy showed up to us.
First hand!" The political commissar was very emotional.
The brigade commander smiled and said: "It's not just you who have made a mistake, but I have also made a mistake!"
"Having said that, once the Changpo stronghold was eliminated, we finally removed the nail that the Japanese had stuck in our hearts. Kong Jie conducted the battle well. I have to give this guy credit once."
"This is what it should be." The political commissar smiled.
"By the way, I heard that because Kong Jie and the others moved too fast to uproot the Changpo stronghold overnight, the Japs had no time to send out the communication, so the Japs' reinforcements did not arrive at all. Li Yunlong's new regiment brought the main force of the whole regiment there.
I succumbed to the cold all night on the mountain road where I was ambushed, and in the end, I was stunned that even half of the Japanese didn't wait. Is this the case?"
The chief of staff said happily: "Isn't that right? This guy Li Yunlong should scold his mother again this time."
Hahahaha——
The joy of victory made the atmosphere in the room extremely relaxed, and the brigade leaders laughed so hard that they laughed.
Just as he was talking, the guard suddenly came and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, Commander Kong is here..."
"Xiao Chen, don't say anything yet. Let us guess what this boy Kong Jie is here for." said the brigade commander who was in a good mood.
When others heard this, they also became interested. The chief of staff's mind was spinning rapidly, "Xiao Chen, Kong Jie should have brought someone to bring the equipment, right?"
Guard Xiao Chen asked doubtfully: "Huh? Chief of Staff, how did you know?"
"It's easy to understand. The Japs have been stationed at the Changpo stronghold for more than a day or two. The arms and supplies they have accumulated must be quite abundant. This kid Kong Jie sneaked into the Changpo stronghold at night. The Japs and puppet troops didn't have time to do anything.
After much resistance, after the battle was victorious, a large number of seizures must have fallen into the hands of his independent group.
Tell me, can he not pull some of them over to "bribe" our brigade?"
