511 Nothing is written by coincidence, and losses are unpredictable
…
Niukou Village.
Independent regiment headquarters yard.
In the early morning of May, the sky was just getting brighter, and the weather was refreshing, which is rare in a day since the beginning of summer.
Huchi, wheeze, haha hehe...
Kong Jie is wearing a single suit. Although his body is not strong, his muscles are well-proportioned. He is sparring with guard Wei Monk.
This kind of training happens every now and then.
In Kong Jie’s words, as a regiment leader, we must set an example and never let our military skills and physical training fall behind.
As a sparring partner, the monk has changed from the initial rule by Kong Jie that he could only passively parry and not take the initiative, but now the two of them can fight back and forth in a lively manner.
Of course, a monk born in Shaolin Temple still has to give way to a little Kong Jie.
Either it stipulates that one leg should be used less, or one arm should be used less, which makes the monk very depressed.
The two of them sparred for a long time, until their blood boiled, their pores dilated, and they felt refreshed for the day, Kong Jie gave up.
"Okay, monk, that's it for today!"
While talking, Kong Jie paid attention to his personal force value. It has already passed the 80 mark. This long-term sparring with the monks really has a miraculous effect.
Although it is still far inferior to the monk, a pervert with a force value of over 90.
Kong Jie is quite satisfied, as our group leader has developed in an all-round way morally, intellectually and physically.
In terms of force, if you don’t brag, it should be no problem to beat Li Datou.
Thinking of this, Kong Jie looked at the monk with a smile: "I feel that the training effect is good during this period. Monk, how much do you think I have improved?"
Seeing Kong Jie's eager eyes, the monk chuckled and said: "Captain, you already have a good foundation in kung fu, and you have made considerable progress during this period."
"Can you beat two Li Yunlongs?" Kong Jie asked.
"..."
The monk choked for a moment and said: "As soon as Captain Li's kung fu came out, I tried it out. It's just the same as Captain you before. With your current ability, Captain, I can't guarantee that the two of you will be able to do it one-on-one."
Question."
Kong Jie suddenly smiled, clenched his fists, and said: "That's enough. I've been practicing arm-through boxing since I was a child. That kid Li Yunlong has practiced Baguazhang. I said my boxing skills are the best, and he said his palm skills are the best.<
/p>
I was not convinced, and I often approached Li Yunlong for discussion, but there was never a winner.
This time there is finally a result. I have to tell Lao Li with my fists that the through-arm boxing practiced by Lao Kong is the number one."
The monk came over from the side and encouraged: "Captain, you must be the first!"
...If you don't come first, you will be in trouble. During this period of time, I have been training with you, but I have endured a lot of hardships, and I can't give my best, so I will be beaten. How wronged.
Kong Jie glanced at the monk and said: "Monk, we have to be honest. I have to correct you. We are the number one among the group leaders."
"Yes, yes, you must be number one among the group leaders." The monk agreed.
Kong Jie waved his hand with satisfaction, "Okay, monk, that's all our sparring for this period of time. I'll go find Li Datou to spar later."
"Hey!" The monk felt as if he had been granted amnesty, his face burst into smiles.
……
On the other side, when Kong Jie was sparring leisurely with the monk in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, he was living a comfortable life after the victory.
The commanders of the Eighth Route Army troops stationed in large and small base areas around the Taihang base area were stimulated by the independent regiment's encirclement and reinforcements and the capture of Ping'an County in one fell swoop.
The newly formed fifth regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
After Commander Feng held a military meeting within the regiment, the combat mission was quickly issued:
Each company took the initiative to seek fighter opportunities, preparing to find opportunities to first remove some large and small strongholds in the guerrilla areas and launch attacks on some villages occupied by the Japanese army.
The new sixth regiment.
During this period, with the Japanese army's blockade of the base area, the lives of the soldiers of the Sixth Regiment became increasingly difficult. Not only could they not get enough equipment, but their supplies were dwindling.
In addition, the living conditions of the surrounding villagers are very poor, how can they support so many troops?
In desperation, the regiment leader Yang Kaiping broke the troops into pieces and barely managed to survive.
But what does this look like?
They are both part of the Eighth Route Army, and they are also the regiment leader. How come the gap is so big when compared with Kong Jie?
The signal soldier ordered the battalions, companies, and platoon leaders of the Sixth Regiment to gather behind the regiment headquarters.
Captain Yang directly convened a meeting and got straight to the point:
"A few days ago, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment conducted a joint operation. With the help of Ping'an County encirclement and reinforcements, they killed thousands of Japanese and puppet troops. The Independent Regiment even captured Ping'an County in one fell swoop and looted
A large amount of supplies hoarded by the Japanese army in Ping'an County."
"What does this mean?
This shows that in the face of the Japanese blockade and oppression, passive defense is the stupidest way.
If we want to live a good life and have a full stomach, we soldiers must take the initiative to attack.
Don’t talk about imitating others’ independent regiments and directly attack the county. Let’s build a small town, a stronghold, and a village. Is this okay?”
"I have given you an order. From now on, I don't care about the specific combat command. Your battalion and company commanders have the final say. I have only one request. I can't continue to live in isolation."
"In addition to farming and production within our base areas, we have to find ways to take the initiative and attack the stronghold villages that we can."
"If you can't fight, try to deceive the Japanese and puppet troops out of their strongholds and county towns. You have to fight me too."
"Every company of yours will keep the seizures obtained after the battle. Those who are capable will eat the meat, and those who are not capable will not even think about the soup."
"I'll tell you the ugly story first. I didn't think of a way to actively fight, and took the initiative to develop equipment and seize it. In the end, I couldn't even support the troops. I can't afford to lose face and continue to ask for help from the brigade headquarters."
"Yes——"
The cadres responded in unison, and everyone was waiting for the leader's words.
After the meeting, the cadres couldn't wait to leave. They all looked eager to try, and they all didn't want to go back to the garrison and have a big fight immediately.
The political commissar was a little worried about this, "Lao Yang, the enemy is still strong and we are weak. It is still possible to engage in guerrilla warfare on a small scale, but is this movement too big now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Captain Yang snorted and said indifferently:
"Political Commissar, haven't you seen this yet? From the fact that Lao Kong captured Ping'an City this time, I understand it."
"The current market situation will kill the brave and starve the timid."
"To make a big noise, to take the initiative without asking for instructions, can we compare to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment? Can we compare to the Independent Regiment?"
"But what happened in the end? Can the brigade commander still shoot Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei? There are punishments. I heard that Li Yunlong often went to the brigade headquarters to feed the brigade commander and take the blame, but so what?
If our Sixth Regiment could capture as much as the New Second Regiment, I would be willing to let the brigade commander take the blame."
"So, political commissar, just keep this in your stomach! If the brigade commander really wants to accuse, he should be the first to accuse Li Yunlong of those three thorns. It won't be our turn."
The political commissar was speechless for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking in his mind, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Immediately afterwards, the seventh regiment...
Seventeenth Regiment...
The Eighteenth Regiment...
The fifty-seventh regiment...
Even the two old main regiments, the 771st and 772nd regiments, were involved.
The noise became louder and louder.
Regarding this aspect, the first to notice it was naturally the Japanese army.
In just two days, the Japanese military headquarters discovered that during this period, the entire Taihang base area, and the Eighth Route Army, which had been forced to retreat step by step under the blockade of the imperial strongholds and villages, suddenly became ready to move.<
/p>
During the previous advance and compression of the Eighth Route Army base areas.
Large-scale battles are very rare, and they are basically just guerrilla attacks carried out by Tubal soldiers.
This number is not that large. Facing the front line of the imperial troops, the Tubalu soldiers often have no choice but to retreat.
But the situation has suddenly changed in the past few days. There are more and more local battles on Tubal Road, and the fighting is no longer limited to guerrilla warfare. They even dare to take the initiative to carry out some ambushes and critical battles.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Japanese and puppet troops were caught off guard at first, but they suffered a small loss.
Some small strongholds were seized by the Eighth Route Army troops.
However, the Japanese and puppet troops came to their senses and immediately launched a defense with the help of solid fortifications. The attacks of the Eighth Route Army units soon encountered great obstacles.
Guerrilla warfare is no longer so smooth, and tough battles are defeated nine times out of ten.
There is no way around it. In the absence of offensive artillery, the Eighth Route Army troops with backward equipment and scarce ammunition will find it difficult to capture the strongholds garrisoned by the Japanese and puppet troops who are well-equipped and have sufficient artillery fire.
At the same time, Yamamoto, who had no choice but to agree to the Japanese Deputy Chief of General Staff Nobutoshi Kawakubo, would pick the weak one first and prepare to attack other Eighth Route Army units around the Taihang base area, and soon made progress.
Compared with the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, especially the independent regiment, the defense of other Eighth Route Army units, large and small villages in the guerrilla area, and the vigilance of the villagers are much worse.
In the guerrilla zone of the 17th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Xiaohu Village.
Two teams dressed as Eighth Route Army guerrillas appeared in a valley somewhere.
The two sides met, and the leader of one side reported respectfully to the other side: "Your Majesty, Colonel, we have successfully gained the trust of the villagers in Xiaohu Village, and through innuendo, we learned from some militiamen in Xiaohu Village that the 17th Eighth Route Army
This is where a company of the regiment is stationed."
"Please give me your instructions, Colonel."
The smooth penetration of the 17th Regiment's base area surprised Yamamoto. Although he felt a little ashamed, Yamamoto still subconsciously thought, is it just as General Kawakubo said, I, Yamamoto, am just suitable for picking the weak persimmon first?
After calming down and discarding the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yamamoto ordered: "The first combat team took action immediately to destroy the company-level command structure of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, we found ways to obtain intelligence. It would be best to take down the 17th regiment."
The regiment headquarters found out."
"Hi!"
Right now, there are only three teams around Yamamoto, and each team only has ten people.
Other detachments are performing the same infiltration and attack and killing missions in other Eighth Route Army base areas.
In addition, in order to cooperate with Yamamoto's infiltration and attack on other Eighth Route Army base areas.
Kawakubo Nobutoshi also specially ordered to mobilize a sniper team, a total of thirty snipers equipped with Japanese-style Type 99 sniper rifles and four-fold optical sights, plus thirty corresponding observers, two people
A group formed a sniper tactical team to fight with Yamamoto.
Some of them were arranged by Yamamoto in the combat team to perform beheading operations.
Others were arranged by Yamamoto to move freely around the Eighth Route Army base areas and carry out raiding and killing missions.
Specially select Eighth Route Army commanders who are likely to appear around the Eighth Route Army base area.
As for the equality of Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers, and officers do not wear military ranks, how can we identify them?
Yamamoto naturally has experience in this area.
One looks at the pockets. These Eighth Route Army officers often have two extra pockets, which is different from other soldiers; the other looks at the briefcases. There are some Eighth Route Army officers who will carry briefcases with them; as for the Eighth Route Army level and above
cadres, and are also equipped with a bodyguard for personal protection.
If that doesn't work, you can also look at age, actions, and demeanor.
Generally, those who are older, lead the team at the front, have more obvious demeanor and movements, and the surrounding cadres will gather towards him and salute. These are basically Eighth Route Army cadres.
It happened that at this time, the Eighth Route Army troops of various regiments around the Taihang base area were stimulated by the independent regiment's capture of Ping'an County, and they all sought to take the initiative to attack and expand outward.
The actions of these two parties happened to collide.
For Kazuki Yamamoto, this is undoubtedly the best time to carry out infiltration and assassination operations.
The frequent attacks by the Eighth Route Army troops gave Yamamoto's assassination team and snipers more opportunities.
Soon.
The Japs of the combat team sent by Yamamoto successfully used grenade launchers to launch a long-range sneak attack on the Eighth Company of the Seventeenth Regiment stationed in the mountains not far from Xiaohu Village.
Three of the wooden houses built by the soldiers in the garrison were blown up by Japanese artillery shells.
The little devil turned those wooden houses into command organs.
This is indeed the case. Fortunately, the commander of the Eighth Company at that time led the team to fight guerrillas and was not at the headquarters.
Only then did he narrowly avoid the Japanese assassination attempt.
The covert shelling aroused the attention of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and the news that Japs had been sneaked into the base area soon reached the headquarters of the 17th Regiment. Commander Jiang immediately ordered a comprehensive search of the base area.
The commander of the Eighth Company reacted very quickly after learning the news. He immediately blocked the passes around the base to prevent the Japanese who had penetrated into the base from escaping.
But in the end, the group of little devils who made the sneak attack could not be left behind.
The reconnaissance soldiers discovered that these Japanese soldiers used rock climbing ropes to climb over the steep slope and escaped from the mountainous area.
The Eighth Company Commander who went to conduct on-the-spot investigation realized that this group of Japanese soldiers was unusual and immediately reported the news to the regiment headquarters.
to afternoon.
The team of the 17th Regiment conducting a comprehensive search around the base area was attacked by a small group of Japanese troops and even attacked and killed by hidden Japanese snipers.
In just one afternoon, a dozen cadres were sacrificed, including even a company commander.
The 17th Regiment also carried out the encirclement and suppression successfully and killed six Japanese.
Two of them are Japanese snipers and one observer.
The all-over camouflage almost blended into the surrounding environment, and the weird Type 99 sniper rifle with a quadruple optical sight surprised the soldiers of the 17th Regiment.
"No, it's the Japanese snipers that Lao Kong said. With this kind of gun, you can still kill with one shot from four to five hundred meters away. Judging from the comrades we have sacrificed now, the Japanese snipers are aimed at our cadres."
Come."
After analyzing the situation, Captain Jiang regretted that he had not implemented the counter-sniper requirements.
Fortunately, it's not too late to remedy the situation.
Taking advantage of the fact that the casualties of the 17th Regiment were not too great at the moment, Captain Jiang quickly ordered the entire regiment to prepare for counter-sniper operations.
All cadres must wear the same military uniforms as soldiers. They are not allowed to salute cadres at any time, and are not allowed to surround cadres if they have nothing to do...
To deal with the Japanese sniper's surprise attack.
Once the troops encounter a sneak attack by a Japanese sniper, they quickly locate the Japanese sniper, then surround the entire area and use grenade launchers for bombardment.
In addition, the 17th Regiment also mobilized the special shooters in the regiment, equipped them with observers, and scattered them around the base area to coordinate the operations of the search team at any time in order to eliminate the Japanese snipers hidden in the area.
