...Zhao Gang was a little stunned when he heard, "The 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? Lao Li, if I remember correctly, when I went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting before, the political commissar mentioned that the people who come to our headquarters for exchange and study this time are
The leader of the 117th Regiment seems to be named Shi."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Lao Kong also mentioned this. I don't care what his surname is. His surname is Tianwang Laozi. I also want the equipment of his battalion."
Zhao Gang said with some worry: "Old Li, if we do this, it's not impossible. Since this battalion of the 17th Regiment dares to liaise with the Japanese army, we have reason to beat him."
"It's just that the Jinsui Army and our Eighth Route Army are currently in a period of cooperation, and the officers of the Jinsui Army have just arrived to visit our Eighth Route Army to visit, exchange and learn. At this juncture, we suddenly take action, in case someone is interested in taking advantage of it.
To make a fuss and deliberately seek trouble, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
"So either we don't take action, or if we do, we have to take down the equipment in one fell swoop, and we have to get the evidence."
Li Yunlong nodded in agreement: "Old Zhao is right. While taking down the equipment of this battalion, we'd better catch some Japanese traitors as irrefutable evidence, so that the Jinsui Army will have nothing to say."
"We are helping his 117th Regiment clean up the house. Maybe the shitty leader of the 117th Regiment is here. I have to thank you!"
"This is equipment for a battalion! It's rare for Lao Kong to be kind and give away such a big deal. Don't give it for free."
Zhao Gang, who always had the air of a Confucian general, said suddenly: "Old Li, is this battalion lacking some equipment?"
"What???"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly came to his senses, slapped his thigh and said: "Old Zhao, when did you learn to be a thief like Lao Kong?
Beautifully said!
The equipment of a battalion is not enough for our old Li to squeeze into his teeth? If you ask me, just take the opportunity to capture his entire 117th Regiment."
Zhao Gang immediately retorted: "Old Li, don't do this nonsense. If you can find out, the 117th Regiment is indeed collaborating with the Japanese army. You can shoot him down.
If someone gets a tip along the way and lures other battalions of the 117th Regiment to rush to support, you can take the opportunity to defeat him.
We thought they were also rebels, coming to support the Japs.
That’s easy to explain.
But if you go directly to the headquarters of the 117th Regiment to attack the 117th Regiment, be careful that the Jinsui Army charges you with deliberately causing friction."
Li Yunlong: "???"
He suddenly realized: "Yes! Just do it!
Lao Zhao, you are absolutely right. We can inform the 117th Regiment in advance and tell them that there is someone in their regiment who is colluding with the Japanese army.
The 117th Regiment will definitely send troops to investigate, and then we will eat both ends together.
If the 117th Regiment dispatches all its troops to investigate the situation, we will take down the entire 117th Regiment in one fell swoop.
Even if we say hell, we have legitimate reasons."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong felt a little emotional: "No wonder people say that cultural elements are the most terrible thing once they learn bad things. We, Mr. Li, have seen this today.
Lao Kong was so practical before! Since he started learning culture, he has become more and more cunning.
You, Lao Zhao, have always been very discreet, but today you suddenly opened your mouth. I, Lao Li, didn’t say anything, so I can only give you a thumbs up!"
Zhao Gang said seriously: "Old Li, what are you talking about? Did I say something? I didn't say anything."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
This is called tacit understanding, and everything is left unsaid.
……
Independent group.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Kong Jie led the team to set off, and the guard company commander Wei Monk led half of the guard company to protect everyone along the way.
The target point is placed in the guerrilla area outside the independent group.
"Don't you commanders want to see how our Eighth Route Army fights the Japanese army on a daily basis? Then I will take you to see it with your own eyes today."
While walking on the way, Kong Jie said this.
As they rushed all the way to the outskirts of the Independent Regiment's guerrilla zone, Chu Yunfei and his party felt the vastness of the Independent Regiment's base area.
The Niukou Village area where the regiment headquarters was originally stationed is not that small.
Further to the periphery is the base area of the Independent Regiment, and further to the periphery is the guerrilla zone of the Independent Regiment.
In the large and small villages in the guerrilla zone, there are basically no activities of Japanese and puppet troops. It seems that the entire area is the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
This area is so large that it includes villages of all sizes located in the guerrilla zone.
As everyone continued to rush to the periphery, the leader of the Jinsui Army finally couldn't help but asked: "Commander Kong, from Niukou Village to here, is this the territory of your independent regiment?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Why do you say that?"
The commander of the Jinsui Army replied: "Until now, we have not seen the shadow of the Japanese army or the puppet army along the way, and we have not even seen the existence of the puppet regime in the villages."
Kong Jie said: "Actually, this area is just the outer guerrilla zone of our independent regiment. The Japanese and puppet troops were afraid of being beaten, so they simply gave up on this area, took the initiative to shrink their troops, and retreated to the county towns and villages.
It seems that this place is empty. In fact, our independent regiment team has not completely controlled this place."
The commander of the Jinsui Army said: "This is strange. Don't the Japanese troops often raid your Eighth Route Army base areas behind enemy lines?"
Kong Jie said: "Please allow me to keep it a secret. Everyone will know about it soon."
Finally arriving at the outermost area, Kong Jie introduced:
"Everyone, we have arrived. This is the sniper area for our independent regiment."
"Sniper zone?" Chu Yunfei was the first to notice Kong Jie's choice of words, "Isn't it a guerrilla zone?"
Kong Jie said: "Brother Chu, you will know if you wait a little longer."
With that said, Kong Jie led a group of people to walk towards a hilltop in the sniper area.
In the middle of the journey, the monk made a bird call as a communication slogan:
Gugugugugu——
In the woods that were originally silent, some independent regiment soldiers who were fully camouflaged and almost blended in with the surrounding environment suddenly emerged from the tree trunks, shrubs, and leaves.
This sudden scene shocked the Jinsui Army and his party.
Kong Jie didn't explain this, and Chu Yunfei and his party didn't ask too many questions. They just followed Kong Jie to a high slope with a better view with full of doubts.
Then Kong Jie said:
"This is it. Leaders, please wait patiently for a while, and you will be able to see what you want to see. Try to place the target around the town not far away."
As Chu Yunfei and his party looked over, they saw that it was an important town controlled by the Japanese army. There were several strongholds of various sizes located outside the town, and the strongholds were also equipped with tall gun towers.
Time passes slowly.
For unknown reasons, a group of Japanese and puppet troops walked out of a certain stronghold and approached the area where Kong Jie and his party were.
The Japanese and puppet troops were on the way, still more than half a mile away from Kong Jie and his party.
Chu Yunfei and others used binoculars to observe the Japanese and puppet troops walking out of the stronghold, and they were full of doubts at this moment.
In the midst of doubts, suddenly there was a boom of artillery fire from not far away, mixed with several gunshots.
Immediately, the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, who were holding telescopes to observe the Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the stronghold, all had their eyes widened when they came close to the telescopes.
A group of Japanese and puppet troops walking out of the stronghold a few hundred meters away were hit by artillery shells that suddenly flew out of nowhere.
As the shells exploded, seven or eight Japanese and puppet troops met the emperor on the spot.
The gunshots that rang out also accurately hit some Japanese and puppet soldiers.
The remaining Japanese and puppet soldiers were completely panicked. They seemed to be cursing and mumbling something, turned around and fled towards the stronghold like crazy.
During this period, there were gunshots again, and every bullet fired was accompanied by the fall of a Japanese soldier or puppet soldier.
This sudden gunshot, amazing marksmanship, and sudden bombardment.
As a bystander, Chu Yunfei raised his telescope and looked around when the sound of gunshots and cannons came.
He could be sure that these cold guns and cannons were fired from the woods on the hills closer to the puppet troops that day.
But who actually launched it, and where exactly was it hidden?
Chu Yunfei still couldn't detect it using a telescope.
The more than 20 Japanese and puppet troops were finally in panic, and only five or six of them fled back to their stronghold.
As for the Japanese and puppet soldiers lying in pieces on the ground outside the stronghold, some are even alive, dragging their seriously injured bodies and crawling towards the stronghold with difficulty.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the stronghold hid in the gun towers and watched helplessly, but no one dared to go out to rescue them.
Obviously this is not the first time that the Eighth Route Army has suffered such brutal attacks.
"It's a sniper, Brother Kong. Have you arranged snipers around this town?" Chu Yunfei, who was crawling next to Kong Jie, asked.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Not really a sniper, just some soldiers with better marksmanship."
"What about the previous bombardment?"
"They are just some artillerymen with better artillery skills."
"Sniper area..." Chu Yunfei recited it in a low voice and asked attentively: "Brother Kong, I probably understand a little bit. What you mean is that the gunmen and artillerymen lurking around the Japanese town like this are not just
It’s not just the area in front of us, there are even multiple areas.
So Brother Kong called this area a sniper zone, and this was the battlefield where these hidden gunmen and gunners sniped at the Japanese invaders."
"I don't know if I understand correctly?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Brother Chu is really smart, that's true. Then Brother Chu might as well guess again, why were there no Japanese and puppet troops in the guerrilla areas we passed through earlier?"
Chu Yunfei sighed with emotion: "It's amazing, Brother Kong, here with you, I actually feel a deep helplessness from the Japanese army.
Your base area occupies a mountainous area and has an absolute terrain advantage, coupled with the constant threat of cold guns and artillery before you.
If the Japanese army had no intention of carrying out a large-scale raid, how could they dare to send out a small force to die in vain?
This is also the reason why the Japanese and puppet troops took the initiative to withdraw from your guerrilla zone.
With the presence of Eighth Route Army troops like you, their lives may be taken at any time, and I feel a little scared for the Japanese invaders."
Kong Jie said: "Brother Chu is right. This is exactly what our independent regiment took the lead in launching. It is a cold-blooded campaign of our Eighth Route Army that mainly focuses on the guerrilla areas behind enemy lines and attacks the Japanese invaders." p>
"Don't seek large-scale destruction, don't seek victory in combat, even if it's a bullet, even if it's a cannonball, you can count as many Japanese as you can kill. Anyway, you'll kill one less."
"This is how our Eighth Route Army tells the little devils that counties, villages, towns, strongholds, and gun towers belong to them for the time being.
But other than that, the vast area behind enemy lines belongs to our Eighth Route Army.
If they dare to attack rashly, they must be prepared to accept death at any time."
The calm words sounded, and on this hot day, all the officers of the Jinsui Army couldn't help but shudder.
This little devil is really unlucky to mess with the Independent Group and a killer like Kong Jie...
