Throughout the afternoon, Kong Jie took Chu Yunfei and his party to visit many sniper areas belonging to the independent group.
The situation I witnessed was similar to what I had seen before. The Japs hiding in counties, villages, strongholds, and gun towers did not even dare to show their heads under the potential threat of the cold-blooded campaign launched by the Independence Regiment.
It’s no wonder that there are no Japanese and puppet troops in the guerrilla zones outside the Independence Regiment.
The mountains and fields are full of hiding places, and gunners and artillerymen of the independent regiment may be hidden somewhere.
These soldiers will not reason with you, they will fight with cold guns and cold guns.
One shot after another, he immediately evacuated after success. One man even dared to sneak attack a Japanese squadron.
On the way back to the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie introduced to Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army:
"The cold-blooded campaign of our independent regiment has been carried out for nearly two weeks today. Although the results achieved at some local points are very limited. But so far, the results achieved in these two weeks have been gathered together.
, so what?"
"Monk, please report to Brother Chu and the others the specific results of our regiment's cold-blooded campaign over the past two weeks."
"Yes!"
The monk responded and came prepared. He took out the booklet that had already recorded the data and read:
"Commanders, this data is compiled from the records of the soldiers of our regiment who carried out cold-blooded attacks. It has been confirmed by bystanders that the data is absolutely true."
"On the first day of our independent regiment's cold-blooded campaign, we killed a total of 323 Japanese and puppet soldiers, including 111 Japanese soldiers, 202 puppet soldiers, and 10 traitors."
"On the second day, the Japanese and puppet troops were on guard, and the results were smaller. Only 254 Japanese and puppet troops were killed."
"175 people on the third day...45 people on the 14th day."
"As for today, we haven't counted the specific results yet, but the cold-blooded sneak attack we observed earlier killed at least a dozen Japanese and puppet soldiers."
The monk did not tell the total number of Japanese and puppet soldiers killed in the last fourteen or five days.
But when the officers of the Jinsui Army listened, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
These three hundred, two hundred, and one hundred are not numbers. They are Japanese, puppet soldiers, and traitors all jumping around!
There were gains every day, and it was not until the fourth day that the number of Japanese and puppet soldiers captured was less than a hundred.
Later, the Japanese and puppet troops took the Eighth Route Army's cold-blooded campaign seriously and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
Only in this way did the number of people who were attacked by cold guns and artillery every day be controlled to double digits.
But every day, Japanese and puppet troops are still attacked and killed by sneak attacks.
The Eighth Route Army was behind enemy lines, and the speed with which it killed the enemy using this method was astonishing.
Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Jinsui Army secretly thought that even if their Jinsui Army fought once every two weeks, the efficiency of killing the enemy would probably be far less than the seemingly inconspicuous cold-fire campaign launched by the Eighth Route Army. p>
Kong Jie’s words in the morning seemed to still be echoing in his ears:
"Although the number of large-scale battles launched by our Eighth Route Army is small, the small-scale battles have never stopped."
"Are you just wandering around without attacking? Have you killed the Japanese? You can ask the Japanese and puppet soldiers, they know better than anyone else."
The scenes witnessed in the sniper area now have a huge impact on these officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
How could Chu Yunfei and his party dare to mention the topic of the Eighth Route Army wandering around without attacking?
It was already getting late, so Chu Yunfei and a group of Shanxi-Sui Army officers temporarily stayed in the independent regiment to rest.
According to Kong Jie’s plan:
"Brother Chu, Brother Chongshan, and all the group leaders, we are here for now. It is getting late. I will take you all around my independent group tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, we will follow the orders given by our superiors.
In order to solemnly receive you all this time, our three Iron Triangle groups will form a reception group.
If you want to visit Xinyi Group and Xiner Group in the future.
Li Yunlong, the leader of our new second regiment, and Ding Wei, the leader of our new first regiment, are also ready. I can send people to escort everyone there at any time."
When they stayed at the independent regiment's station to rest at night, the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army each had their own separate room.
Chu Yunfei entered the house, and his adjutant Sun Ming quickly closed the door, and the two lay down on the bed in the inner room to rest.
Recalling what he saw in the Independent Regiment today, Adjutant Sun Ming was filled with emotion.
"Team seats!"
"What the hell is this Independent Regiment? Is this still the Eighth Route Army unit we remember?"
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Oh, how can I say this?"
Sun Ming said: "Regiment leader, we have a day of visiting, exchanging and studying today. You have also seen that this independent regiment is an Eighth Route Army unit behind enemy lines. It is said that the Japanese will come to clean up when they have nothing to do. This Eighth Route Army is isolated and helpless and is in the most danger."
In an enemy environment.
But look at what kind of life he lived in the independent group?
The food the soldiers eat is better than what we usually eat.
If one is behind enemy lines, it is enough to set up a guerrilla zone. Now we are also engaged in guerrilla zones and cold-blooded gunfire campaigns.
How does this look like the Eighth Route Army? It looks like the second uncle of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"When did you say the little devil turned into clay?"
Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe you can think about it differently, it's not that the Japanese are too weak, but that the independent group is too strong."
"Too strong?" Sun Ming was a little confused, "How strong can a small Eighth Route Army-level combat unit be?"
Chu Yunfei looked solemn and said: "Don't underestimate Kong Jie."
"Before I came to the Independent Group to visit, communicate, and study, my impression of Kong Jie still remained at the sincerity he showed at the end of the Cangyunling Battle."
"It wasn't until I came here today that I realized that I had made a mistake. Under the disguise of seeming sincerity, this person also concealed extraordinary wisdom and prudence."
"We came to visit him as an independent group. From the initial fruits, to military exercises, to lunch, and even to the sniper area at the back, it was obvious that this series of visit itinerary was planned in advance by him." p>
"Everything that should be shown for us to see is no less than nothing, but we haven't seen anything that should not be shown for us."
Sun Ming said: "Regimental leader, are you talking about the equipment of his independent regiment?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Not just the equipment, according to what we have discovered, the size of this independent regiment has already exceeded the size of the Eighth Route Army level combat unit.
As for the specific number of troops, we cannot be sure, but the number is definitely quite large, and may even catch up with our 358th Regiment."
Sun Ming said in shock: "Tuanzuo, this is impossible, isn't it?"
Chu Yunfei said: "If that's not the case, as you said, this independent regiment is behind enemy lines, like the second uncle of the Japanese and puppet troops. Why do the Japanese and puppet soldiers turn a blind eye to this?
As if you are actively withdrawing and being bullied?
Is this still the vindictive little devil we know?"
"We wanted to see the equipment of his independent regiment, the defense situation of the independent regiment's base area and surrounding guerrilla areas, and the development of the military foundation within the regiment. Kong Jieke did not reveal any of these to us."
"And these are the reasons why the Independent Regiment is behind enemy lines and can make the Japanese suffer a huge loss."
Having said this, even Chu Yunfei felt a little lucky, "Fortunately, so far, we are still friendly forces, not enemies. With such a difficult opponent, no one will be able to sleep at night."
After being speechless all night, Chu Yunfei secretly thought about what he had gained from coming to the Independent Regiment this time, and thought that after returning to the 358th Regiment, he would have to find a way to train some gunners and gunners. This cold-blooded campaign is indeed quite exciting. p>
……
While Chu Yunfei was thinking hard, other officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army also had their own thoughts.
During today's visit, many commanders of the Shanxi-Sui Army saw how powerful the independent regiment was, which was just the "tip of the iceberg".
What I lamented on the bed before going to bed was nothing else but one: Never mess with this independent group in the future.
As for Wu Changsheng, the leader of the 71st Regiment, and Yang Chongshan, the leader of the 57th Regiment, they don’t care about that much.
The Independent Group has long been an old smuggling partner between the two parties.
This time I came here and witnessed the stability of the Independent Regiment's base behind enemy lines, as well as the strength shown by the Independent Regiment.
The two of them became more and more determined to do business under the noses of the Japanese and make a fortune quietly.
The best partner in the Eighth Route Army is definitely the Independent Regiment.
Captain Kong, the big benefactor, needs to be captured.
What a group of Jinsui Army officers didn't know was that when they visited the independent regiment's sniper area this afternoon.
After Li Yunlong received the information passed by Kong Jie, he launched an action without stopping. In the afternoon of the same day, he sent out a cavalry company, ran for hundreds of miles, and rushed to the Xiaoxupo area.
Successfully defeated the three battalions of the 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who were preparing to surrender to the Japanese army in Xiaoxugou.
Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops who contacted the Jinsui Army were defeated first.
More than a dozen puppet troops surrendered, and several seriously wounded Japanese were captured.
As for the Jinsui Army soldiers from the Third Battalion of the 17th Regiment, they were all captured by the soldiers of the cavalry company even though they were still wearing their military uniforms.
In order to ensure that this operation went smoothly, Li Yunlong spent a lot of money and concentrated half of the regiment's machine guns and submachine guns on the cavalry company.
As soon as the weapons and equipment of the cavalry company were unveiled, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army who were besieged in Xiaoxugou immediately gave up their plans to resist.
The firepower intensity of both sides is not on the same level at all.
The most important thing is that these Jinsui Army have just received the wind to surrender to the Japanese, and they have not changed their minds yet, and they still regard the Eighth Route Army as a friendly army!
I hope I can survive if I choose to surrender.
"Brothers from the Eighth Route Army, please don't open fire. We are the Jin-Sui Army, friendly forces, and friendly forces!"
Zhang Dabiao, who was in charge of leading the team this time, rode on his horse with a look of disgust on his face and cursed: "What a bullshit Jinsui Army, why don't you pretend to be friendly forces to me? What I see is that you are hanging out with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Let me see, most of them are also members of the Jin-Sui Army dressed as little devils."
The battalion commander of the Jinsui Army quickly said: "Eighth Route Brothers, you can't, we are really the Jinsui Army, and our commander Shi is still studying in your Eighth Route Army base at the moment!"
Zhang Dabiao pretended to be confused and said: "I don't know whether what you said is true or false, so I can't believe your words.
In this way, you first hand over your weapons to me honestly. If the situation is finally figured out, you are really a unit of the Jinsui Army. I will report the situation to our regiment leader and then return the equipment to you."<
/p>
Just like that, one battalion of the 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, with more than 300 soldiers (the ones who surrendered to the Japanese were part of the 3rd Battalion), did not put up any resistance at all, they surrendered honestly and handed over all their equipment.
, and then was brought back to the New Second Regiment by Zhang Dabiao and his party.
On the other side, Li Yunlong was not idle either, leading the Second Battalion to lurk on a mountain road that must be passed from the 117th Regiment to Xiaoxugou.
Just an hour ago, Li Yunlong had someone specifically bring news to the 117th Regiment, saying that men from his third battalion were in contact with the Japanese army in the Xiaoxugou area and were suspected of defecting to the enemy.
It is no wonder that the Third Battalion of the 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army chose to surrender to the enemy at this juncture.
If you want to blame, just blame Yan Laoxi and the little devil for having an affair.
Especially during this period, we openly united with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan, but privately contacted the Japanese army many times, hoping to stabilize the Japanese army and eat both sides.
So it was logical that some officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army were given the illusion that Commander Yan was probably inclined to surrender to the Japanese army.
In addition, the Japanese army took advantage of this to make a big fuss, taking the opportunity to win over in private and lure some Shanxi-Sui Army officers who were already a little tempted to surrender.
The commander of the third battalion of the 17th Regiment was among them. This time he was also bewitched by the Japanese army, so he chose to take the opportunity to lead the more than 300 reliable No. 300 soldiers of the third battalion when Commander Shi happened to go to the Eighth Route Army for exchange and study and was not in the regiment.
Brothers, prepare to surrender to the Japanese army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As a result, Kong Jie got the news, and Li Yunlong directly led his troops to kill him.
But the actual situation is not that the entire 117th Regiment has the intention to surrender to the Japanese army.
The news reached the 117th Regiment, and the deputy commander of the 117th Regiment immediately ordered a battalion of troops and rushed to the direction of Xiaoxugou to investigate the situation.
The deputy commander also had a bottom line and made up his mind. If these three battalions really rebelled, they would have to clean up the house on the spot.
Then he quite naturally fell into the pocket set by Li Yunlong.
When Li Yunlong led more than 500 soldiers of the Second Battalion to suddenly attack, the Jinsui Army of the 117th Regiment was seriously frightened.
The two sides faced each other with their guns pointed at each other, and the situation was tense.
If he hadn't taken into consideration that the other party was not wearing Japanese clothes, he would have opened fire immediately.
Of course, Li Yunlong also considered the seriousness of the situation and did not open fire directly. Otherwise, he would have been labeled as deliberately causing friction.
While attacking, Li Yunlong's loud voice spread far away:
"The new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is here. Those who want to survive will surrender their guns and not be killed."
This Jinsui Army group stepped into the ambush circle specially set up by Li Yunlong.
When Li Yunlong finished shouting with a loud voice, a group of Shanxi-Sui Army officers raised their heads and looked in all directions. On the ridges on both sides of the mountains, there were machine guns. Five or six heavy machine guns were seen. p>
With such a vigorously laid ambush circle, if a fight really broke out, these Eighth Route Army troops would probably be able to kill them all.
The Jinsui Army has heard about the powerful combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.
The deputy commander of the 117th Regiment did not dare to act rashly. He just suppressed his anger and asked: "Who is your commander?"
"If you don't change your name in action, if you don't change your gender in office, I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the new Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"
The deputy commander had also heard of Li Yunlong's name. He couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and his momentum became a little weaker. He even saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute and replied:
"Hello, Chief Li! I am Chu Zhengwen, deputy commander of the 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. The Jinsui Army and your army are friendly forces that jointly resist Japan, but I don't know what Commander Li is thinking about right now?"
Li Yunlong did not answer, but asked:
"Let me ask you, are you planning to go to the Xiaoxugou area?"
Chu Zhengwen was shocked when he heard this. How could Li Yunlong know where he was going?
Before Chu Zhengwen could defend himself, Li Yunlong took the lead:
"You kid, don't make excuses. Not long ago, my team intercepted a Jinsui Army in the Xiaoxugou area. That Jinsui Army was so shameless! It took a battalion of soldiers and ran to Xiaoxugou.
Surrendered to the little devil."
"It just so happened that the battalion commander who was captured by us said that he was from the 117th Regiment of your Jinsui Army."
"So I have every reason to suspect that you also led a team to surrender to the Japanese, and that's why I stopped you."
As he spoke, Li Yunlong scolded him directly: "As a soldier, you should have backbone. This is what Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, said.
This one also has the surname Chu, why is there such a big gap?"
"You said that you Jinsui Army didn't fight the Japanese, but you secretly surrendered to the Japanese. Is this what human beings do? You've shamed your family into the graves of your ancestors." p>
Li Yunlong cursed for a long time, and Chu Zhengwen finally had the opportunity to interject:
"Chief Li, what you said is too unfair to us. I also received news that the third battalion rebelled and surrendered to the Japanese army, so I rushed over with my brothers. We are not surrendering to any Japanese." p>
"You are talking nonsense. What you are holding in your hands is just for guys. I can't let down my guard just because of your few words!" Li Yunlong shouted.
For a moment, Chu Zhengwen was helpless towards Li Yunlong, the insufferable devil.
In addition, the current situation was not as good as other people's, Chu Zhengwen had to ask:
"Then what exactly does it take for Chief Li to believe what I say?
In addition, our Commander Shi and many other officers are currently studying with your Eighth Route Army!
If Chief Li doesn’t believe it, you can go to our chief and ask about the situation.”
Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and replied with some embarrassment: "Your Jinsui Army is indeed an ally of our Eighth Route Army. I cannot attack you casually."
"In this case, to show my sincerity, I will let you leave."
"Thank you, Chief Li!" Chu Zhengwen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him, but then heard Li Yunlong add unhurriedly:
"People can leave, but the equipment must stay."
"No, Captain Li, what you did is a bit too much!" Chu Zhengwen, who had come back to his senses, said anxiously.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, you can go to the entire northwest of Shanxi and ask around. When have I, Li Yunlong, ever taken advantage of others?
I am only temporarily detaining these equipment because I cannot guarantee that you are not colluding with the Japanese army.
When I go back and confirm with your commander, I will naturally return this batch of equipment to you intact. Is this done?"
"This..."
Chu Zhengwen was a little hesitant, always feeling that this was not very reliable.
Who doesn’t know that the Eighth Route Army is most lacking in equipment and ammunition? Seeing the equipment is like an old cat smelling fish, so what else can be had?
However, Li Yunlong directly glared at his second battalion commander and shouted: "Second battalion commander, why are you so stunned? These weapons and equipment are so heavy, we have to help the brothers of the Jinsui Army hold them first!"
As soon as the words fell, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment immediately took action and quickly got into the ranks of the Jinsui Army. They even directly snatched the guns from the hands of the Jinsui Army soldiers.
The Jinsui Army did not receive Chu Zhengwen's order, and the Eighth Route Army's machine guns were threatening them from all directions. No one dared to move, and they were disarmed.
By the time Chu Zhengwen came to his senses, nearly one-third of the Jin-Sui army had been robbed of weapons.
Chu Zhengwen let out a long sigh and had no choice but to place his hope on the character of Commander Li in front of him: "Captain Li, we have agreed that after the misunderstanding is clarified, you must return these equipment to us as soon as possible.
117th Regiment."
"Don't worry, don't worry, you can go and ask around. I, Li Yunlong, always speak with my words, and I definitely mean what I say!"
Li Yunlong promised with all his heart.
The new second team arrived and left quickly. After successfully seizing the equipment from the Jinsui Army, they withdrew like a tidal wave.
Looking at the retreating figures of Li Yunlong and his entourage, Chu Zhengwen, the deputy commander of the 17th Regiment, felt a little confused for a moment under the sudden cold wind.
After returning to the station, Chu Zhengwen did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately arranged for several communication soldiers and asked him to rush to the Eighth Route Army base area to find his commander, Shi, and report the specific information.
Of course, considering that it was really embarrassing for a battalion in the regiment to surrender to the Japanese army, Chu Zhengwen repeatedly told the squad leader: "You must report this matter to the regiment commander in person, and no one else is allowed to mention it."
"Yes!"
……
New Second Group.
Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong led the cavalry company and the second battalion, as well as more than 300 captured Jinsui Army soldiers from the 117th Regiment, plus puppet troops and several seriously injured Japanese soldiers. On the way back to the base area, Li Yunlong almost stopped smiling.
.
When he met Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong could no longer hold back and said ecstatically: "Old Zhao, we have made a fortune. This time we will make a fortune!"
Zhao Gang quickly asked: "Getting rich is a good thing. It seems that things are going very smoothly. Lao Li, please tell me about the situation."
Li Yunlong told the whole story about the trip. When he talked about how he deceived Chu Zhengwen, the deputy leader of the 117th Regiment, Zhao Gang laughed so hard that he simply covered his stomach.
After laughing, Zhao Gang said happily: "Let me tell you, Lao Li, you are so courageous. Aren't you afraid of poking a hole in the sky! Did you really capture all the people in my battalion?"
"Aren't you afraid that Commander Shi will directly accuse you of deliberately causing friction and attacking friendly forces?"
Li Yunlong said happily: "Old Zhao, you think too highly of that guy named Shit. How can he have such courage?"
"I captured these more than 300 Jinsui troops together with the Japanese and puppet troops. They colluded with the Japanese army. The proof is irrefutable. I understand that Yan Laoxi has nothing to say."
"As for the complaint, if this matter is really brought forward, it happens to be at the juncture when he, an officer of the Shanxi-Sui Army, is doing exchanges and studies with our Eighth Route Army."
"You said that our two armies are thinking about how to jointly resist the Japanese! As a result, a battalion of your Shanxi-Sui Army directly rebelled and defected to the Japanese. Can Yan Laoxi'er be able to hold on to his old face?"
"That kid named Shit wishes I could hide this thing!"...
