"Old Li, a Japanese army brigade is not enough to fill the gap in your teeth. Is the gap in your teeth too big?"
Zhao Gang smiled and made a joke.
"Every time the Japs launch a large-scale raid, other regiments wish that the Japs would come with fewer troops. How about you, Mr. Li? One Japs brigade is not enough?"
Li Yunlong said depressedly: "This would be quite a lot in normal times, but without comparison, there is no harm.
Old Zhao, tell me, the Japanese sent two regiments to the independent regiment. We, Old Li, admit it.
We, Lao Li, also recognized the troops sent to the two brigades of the New Regiment.
But why does this little devil look down on our new second group?
A brigade sent us away?"
Zhao Gang comforted and said: "Old Li, after all, our new second regiment has only been established not long ago, and we have not fought any tough battles. It is reasonable for the Japanese not to pay attention to us.
Now that the little devils are looking down upon us, it is the perfect time for us to complete this counter-mopping operation.
If you feel that one Japanese brigade is not enough, just quickly eat up the Japanese brigade and then return to support the independent regiment."
Li Yunlong was suddenly enlightened when he heard this, and laughed and said: "Yes, Lao Zhao, you can see clearly that the Japanese will send a brigade over, and we will quickly kill the Japanese brigade, break out, and then fight with the independent group to snatch the Japanese.
Anyway, there are many Japanese in Lao Kong’s place.
There are few Japs coming, so we can just take the initiative to find more Japs.
Yes, yes, that’s what you should do.
The little devil dares to look down on us, Old Li, and we, Old Li, are going to kill him this time.
Lao Zhao, that’s called the King of Chuzhuang, what’s so ordinary, what’s so amazing?”
"If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster." Zhao Gang said.
Li Yunlong said: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Our New Second Regiment's counter-mopping this time is the King of Chuzhuang. If you don't make a sound, it will be a blockbuster!"

……
"Captain, please rest assured that the important equipment of our repair shop is stored in a concrete air-raid shelter. The Japanese air raids did not cause any great damage to our repair shop."
Independent regiment, regiment headquarters.
Dong San, director of the repair shop, reported to Kong Jiehui.
Kong Jie nodded and said: "No matter when, our Niukou Village base area will not be given up easily. There is also a very important reason for this, which is the various construction foundations built in Niukou Village where our weapons are repaired. I can
Don’t want to give up.”
"But there are no absolutes in war. The people have evacuated safely. You are also preparing to take the workers and masters to move to a safe zone."
Upon hearing this, Dong San became anxious and said quickly: "Captain, as long as you are here, our base area will definitely not be lost. I think there is no need for the personnel of our repair shop to evacuate, right?"
Kong Jie said: "What do you know? This is a large-scale sweep against the Japanese. We are using side tactics. What are side tactics? In fact, it is a house-changing tactic. If the Japanese come to our house, we will fight to the little Japanese's house."
Go, at worst, switch the two homes, but in my eyes, our home in Niukou Village is much better than the little devil’s shabby house."
"But in fact, my purpose is just to lure the Japanese back and save our Niukou Village home."
"But I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid of what might happen. What if this little devil is determined to leave the counties in the rear and insist on destroying our base, and even launch an attack at any cost? Then I don't want to waste all our hard work.
The repair shop we built was ruined."
"So the equipment that can be easily transferred by the repair shop is temporarily hidden in the cave."
"There is really no way to move it. When I have no choice, I can only blow it up."
Dong Sandao: "Captain, I can't bear to part with you."
"You have to give up even if you don't want to. You can't leave it to the little devil."
"Then... even if it's going to explode, let me do it by myself! Don't worry, captain, I will arrange for the other workers and masters to be transferred out in advance, but you just let me stay!"
Kong Jie thought for a while, nodded, patted Dong San's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Okay, you kid, just stay. Don't take what you just said to heart, I'm scaring you! That's all about the Japanese."
He wants to take over our Niukou Village base area, but he is dreaming!"
Kong Jie's confidence infected Dong San, who responded loudly: "Yes!"
……
……
"Reporter Shen, why are you here? Didn't you move with the people?"
"Hey, you can't go in. If I let you in, the group leader will definitely scold me."
The monk's voice came from outside the yard, and Kong Jie and Dong San walked out of the yard together.
"Monk, what's the matter?"
The monk smiled bitterly and moved away, revealing Shen Wenyue who was blocked by him.
Kong Jie frowned: "Reporter Shen, the military situation is urgent now. You should have heard about the situation. The Japanese are coming to the village soon."
"If you continue to stay here, I cannot guarantee your life safety."
"Monk, immediately arrange manpower to escort Reporter Shen to the rear area."
"Hey!"
"Captain Kong, thank you for your kindness. I insisted on staying. Only by visiting the front line in person can I photograph the most realistic combat situations of the soldiers fighting the Japanese behind enemy lines. Please let me stay!" p>
When Shen Wenyue said this, her eyes were sincere, and there was no timidity on her face.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Kong Jie asked.
"Don't be afraid!" Shen Wenyue shook her head firmly, "I am a front-line reporter. I just hope to use my camera to record the truest bravery and tragedy of the frontline war of resistance. If I were afraid of death, I would not come to your Eighth Route Army."
Kong Jie said: "Then I won't insist on it anymore. Just stay near the regiment headquarters. It's relatively safer here."
"Thank you, Commander Kong!" Shen Wenyue thanked him, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Captain Kong, may I ask if I can conduct a follow-up interview on the command situation of your Eighth Route Army's anti-mopping regiment this time?" p>
"Don't worry, I won't affect your command during the process."
Kong Jie thought for a moment, and the anti-mopping up combat command was not a secret. Just as when the Jinsui Army came to the Eighth Route Army for exchanges and studies, Li Yunlong was able to take Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, to participate in an actual combat command.
Same thing.
The existence of Shen Wenyue is a good publicity for the Eighth Route Army's command of the war of resistance.
Of course, the premise is that Kong Jie will send someone to keep an eye on Shen Wenyue before the battle ends.
It is essential to be on guard against others, as information is timely.
Kong Jie didn't want the information he disclosed to reach the ears of the Japanese.
So Kong Jie nodded and said with a smile: "If Reporter Shen wants to ask anything, you can ask it now. As for the impact, don't worry, I have already made arrangements for this combat deployment.
The commanders of my independent regiment are all excellent and can take charge of their own affairs. As the commander of the regiment, I am responsible for making big decisions."
Shen Wenyue immediately beamed with joy and said with a smile: "Great, Commander Kong, thank you for your cooperation. When and by what method did you issue the combat deployment for this anti-mopping operation?"
Kong Jie said: "Yesterday afternoon, at the military meeting held at the regiment headquarters, I issued the general operational deployment for this counter-mopping operation."
"Did your group know in advance that the Japanese army will conduct a large-scale raid today?"
"Of course, if you are behind enemy lines and cannot control the movements of the Japanese army, you will easily be wiped out by the Japanese."
"Then can I ask Commander Kong, what are the specific deployment and plans of your regiment? Also, how is the current strength comparison between your regiment and the Japanese army?"
Kong Jie thought for a while and replied: "What is the specific deployment? It is very simple. Rely on Niukou Village, Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang and other villages to launch defense against the Japanese raids."
"In terms of strength comparison, the number of defensive troops guarding Niukou Village this time is about 2,000, but it also includes some militia troops and local troops. Our independent regiment's regular troops are about 1,000."
"According to intelligence investigations, there are about two regiments of Japanese troops attacking our independent regiment this time, with a strength of about 5,000 people."
This number scared Shen Wenyue.
In Shen Wenyue's impression, a thousand Japanese soldiers could scare the hearts of the national army guards in southern Shanxi, let alone these five thousand Japanese soldiers.
"To put it this way, the comparison of elite forces between the two sides is about 5:1, Commander Kong, but I think you still look confident."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and the soil will cover it. It's just a 1:5 force, so it may not be able to stop it."
Shen Wenyue was also infected by Kong Jie's confidence, and then asked: "Captain Kong, I have heard about the strength of your independent regiment. These should not be the only ones."
Kong Jie said: "I have other arrangements for other troops. As for what to do, it is not convenient to disclose it now."
Shen Wenyue nodded and thought: "With a strength of 1:5, Commander Kong is still very confident. It seems that he thinks that these thousand elites can also block five times the Japanese attack. The other troops seem to be Commander Kong
There are other arrangements.
This should involve some extraordinary tactics.
When the truth is revealed, what kind of surprises will it bring?"
……
"Reporting to the captain, there is news from the front that two Japanese troops have approached the entrances of West Village and Zhangjiazhuang respectively."
The news from the communications troop interrupted Shen Wenyue's thoughts.
Kong Jie nodded, "I know, let's continue investigating."
"Yes!"
……
West Village.
"Platoon leader, the Japanese are already less than 500 meters away from the village entrance."
"I saw it, why are you panicking? All kinds of mines in the village head area have been laid out, right?"
"Don't worry, platoon commander, everything has been laid."
"The location has also been recorded. After fighting the Japanese, we still have to clear the minefield. Then the villagers will have to come back to live!"
"Yes!"
"Remember, don't fire yet. After bringing the Japs close to a distance of 200 meters, the special shooter will fire first, aiming at the Japs' gunner and machine gunner. Remember, fire two shots and change positions. The Japs' marksmanship is not bad.
, we can’t get into trouble with this.”
"Before the Japanese entered the village, the area at the head of the village was vulnerable to enemy artillery fire. We only left two or three observation posts, and the others retreated to the second position."
"After the Japanese approached to a distance of 60 meters, news came from the reconnaissance post, and our main force quickly arrived at the village head position to defend."
"Yes!"
……
"This is the basic tactic of using villages to carry out anti-mopping defense operations."
"Organize special shooters to kill and injure Japanese commanders, machine gunners and grenade launchers at a medium distance, while others do not shoot."
"When the Japanese offensive team arrived at a distance of thirty to forty meters, or even more than ten meters, the machine guns that had been ambushed in advance opened fire, and the soldiers could also use the grenades on hand. At such a short distance, even if the performance of the firearms and the shooting skills of the shooters were
Not bad, the hit rate is also relatively high, and it can often achieve good counterattack effects with less ammunition consumption and casualties."
"When the Japanese advance infantry encounters a surprise attack, they will be driven back by our first wave of attacks. After the Japanese infantry retreats, the Japanese artillery shells will soon hit them. At this time, the soldiers we arranged in the first position will quickly retreat to 200
The second position behind the rice."
"Only a small number of observation posts are left in the first position. After the Japanese bombardment is over and before the Japanese infantry come up, they will send a message to the main force in the second position. The main force in the second position will be replenished to the first position at any time. This repeats to consume
The offensive strength of the Japanese army."
"As for the grenade fire on hand by the Japanese army, the first-line and second-line fortifications in our villages were mostly covered by outer walls, ditches, houses, and semi-underground concrete fortifications that had been built long ago. The Japanese small-caliber artillery fire
It won’t have much effect.”
"In this way, if the Japanese army wants to capture the villages we are defending, and cannot directly use light artillery to deal with our troops, they can only take the risk of letting the infantry advance in."
"This gives us the opportunity to continue to traumatize the Japanese infantry."
At the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie explained specific village defense tactics to Shen Wenyue.
Shen Wenyue is knowledgeable. In addition, she has been to the front line several times and interviewed military deeds all year round, so she still understands some conventional military knowledge.
"Commander Kong, what if the Japanese army directly uses large-caliber artillery?"
"Good question!" Kong Jie explained: "Here we will talk about our understanding of the Japanese mopping up troops. Heavy artillery, a sharp weapon, is heavy and inconvenient to transport. The Japanese mopping up troops will not directly attack the enemy at the beginning of the mopping up.
Carry."
"When the Japanese carry out large-scale sweeps, they usually advance with light troops as the front line. When resistance is encountered, reinforcements and follow-up artillery reinforcements are carried out according to the degree of resistance."
"After the Japanese and puppet troops encounter our army, they usually deploy additional troops and artillery from nearby strongholds. However, since the artillery is not very convenient to maneuver, if they encircle the enemy in the morning, the artillery can only arrive in the afternoon."
"Even if it's faster, it will always be delayed for an hour or two."
"Therefore, even if we use the current tactics to repeatedly traumatize the Japanese infantry and prevent the Japanese mopping up troops from advancing, we will not hold on to the defensive position at the head of the village for too long."
"In about half an hour, when the Japanese heavy artillery arrives, our troops will directly choose to retreat and retreat to the next position."
……
West Village.
Everything was just like what Kong Jie and Shen Wenyue had deduced. The Japanese attack was repelled four times in a row.
When the news reached the rear headquarters, Ishiihara gritted his teeth in hatred.
"Move up the artillery for me and blow up the Eighth Route Army's fortifications at the head of the village."
