601 Struggle in the Quagmire Do you think you can just leave if you want?
Due to the destruction of the Japanese battlefield observation group.
Yamamoto's special agent team has completely lost contact again. The Japanese Army Communications Ministry speculates that the special agent team is in danger.
In addition, the mopping up and advancing troops of all parties were strongly blocked by the Eighth Route Army, and the casualties gradually increased.
Yoshio Shinozuka's original plan for the battle launched this time was not to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.
The Japanese army was not determined and prepared to completely wipe out the Taihang Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
This time, the Iron Roll mopping up, coupled with the beheading operation of the Yamamoto Special Forces and the observation and learning by the battlefield observation group, is mainly an advance experimental operation to implement the Iron Rolling mopping up tactics in North China.
The facts are clear.
The little devil failed, failed miserably.
The miscarriage of this experimental operation also led to the failure of the Japanese Tiejun mopping up tactics.
Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.
After thinking about it, Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand feebly and gave the order for the entire army to retreat.
The Japanese mopping up troops, which originally advanced from the two wings of the Eighth Route Army base area and invaded from all directions, began to withdraw in an orderly manner.
The Eighth Route Army was the first to notice the movements of the Japanese army.
At the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, a group of officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who came to visit, communicate, and learn two days ago are still here.
I witnessed that the Japanese army mobilized more than 20,000 troops this time in an attempt to sweep away the Taihang Eighth Route Army base area in one fell swoop.
As a result, this little devil is quite a bit mean.
In just two days, the raiding forces from all sides were repulsed by the Eighth Route Army.
The officers of the Jinsui Army were amazed by this.
They felt more and more the solid defense of the Eighth Route Army Pan Heng's base in the Taihang area.
More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers were unable to do anything against the Eighth Route Army troops.
Eighth Route Army General Headquarters.
The commander and his team were actually a little puzzled. The large-scale raid launched by the Japanese army was so sudden, and the sudden evacuation was even more inexplicable.
Even the deputy commander-in-chief and his party who were involved could not immediately understand the reason for the Japanese's unusual raid.
Brigade Headquarters.
The brigade commander was the first to guess the hidden reason behind the inexplicable raid launched by the Japanese army.
Just two hours ago, the brigade commander received news from the communications department of the independent regiment.
Li Yunlong led the sword team of the New Second Regiment to successfully ambush a Japanese army unit composed of more than 100 officers in the guerrilla zone outside the New Second Regiment's defense area.
Among them, one Japanese general, more than 20 senior officers, such as colonels, lieutenants, and majors, and more than 100 captains were eliminated.
Twelve Japanese military vehicles were blown up, and more than 100 command knives for generals, assistant officers, and lieutenants were seized.
In addition, an important document of the Japanese army was seized.
When they received the news, the brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff looked at each other with big eyes and were stunned for several seconds before they came to their senses.
Not long ago, the brigade commander angrily rebuked that he was going to skin Li Yunlong after the battle!
Nothing else, who made that kid's old habit of disobeying orders on the battlefield happen again?
The boss's order was for his new second regiment to immediately rush to Chenjiayu for deployment to protect the headquarters' flanks.
It's a good thing for this kid that he just handed over the superior's task to the political commissar Zhao Gang.
He led the sword team to the guerrilla zone to set up an ambush.
It's fine now.
As the chief of staff said with a smile, "Commander, now we have no reason to cause trouble for Li Yunlong."
"This guy has done something extraordinary again. There are more than a hundred Japanese officers! Since the founding of the Eighth Route Army, we have never caught such a big fish!"
The brigade commander said with a straight face: "Look what you said, merit is merit and fault is fault, because if you have done merit, you can ignore the fault?"
The political commissar smiled and said: "But speaking of it, this kid Li Yunlong is really dumbfounding. Every time this kid makes a fool of himself or causes trouble, he can win a battle and make a great contribution to you by turning around."<
/p>
The brigade commander picked up the tea and took a sip. Despite the seriousness on his face, he was secretly relieved.
This time Li Yunlong committed a crime, but for the credit of killing the Japanese officer corps right before his eyes.
The brigade commander thought that it was time for him to go to the headquarters to intercede with this guy.
"Don't let any of you spoil him. Is his problem still small? Since this kid became a commander, he has made almost as many merits as he has made mistakes."
The brigade commander's tone sounded like he hated iron, and the political commissar and chief of staff couldn't help but laugh.
The political commissar then sighed:
"Speaking of which, this time Li Yunlong insisted on his own judgment, ambushed the enemy with surprise troops, and killed the Japanese officer corps.
Brigadier, we have to admit that we are not as good as front-line commanders like Li Yunlong in controlling some battlefield situations on the front line!"
The chief of staff thought of the news that came back from the independent regiment's military exercise a few days ago, and said with deep sympathy:
"On this point, I agree with what the political commissar said.
I heard a few days ago that there was a military exercise for new recruits in the Independent Regiment.
There was a squad leader named Duan Peng who, against the orders of the company commander, led a squad to surprise troops and touched the Eastern Army's position from the cliff direction of the military exercise. This led to the final reversal of the outcome of the Eastern and Western Army exercises."<
/p>
"Afterwards, the cadres of the independent regiment also had different opinions. They believed that such a commander who violated the orders of his superiors and made his own decisions was unacceptable."
"However, some soldiers believe that commanders are on the front line and should adapt to changing combat situations and have the right to adjust tactics appropriately."
"In the end, what do you think Kong Jie was judged to be?"
Seeing the brigade commander and political commissar looking over, the chief of staff smiled and said:
"Kong Jie affirmed Duan Peng's adaptable command and made it clear that our commanders must avoid dogmatism in actual combat without violating the general principle of the superior's overall mission.
It can operate flexibly locally to respond to changes on the battlefield at any time."
Kong Jie's words made the brigade commander and political commissar nod in thought.
After a moment, the brigade commander reacted and said: "This code is the same code, and executing the orders and tasks of the superiors has become dogmatism?"
"How can a brat like Li Yunlong think so carefully? This brat can do anything if his head is hot."
Then he talked about how not long ago, the headquarters was attacked by a small Japanese army in Chenjiayu.
The chief of staff said: "The news from the headquarters is that this Japanese army that attacked is an elite team of the Japanese.
It is very likely that it was the small Japanese combat force that attempted a sneak attack across Daxia Bay in the early 1940s.
The equipment is extremely well-equipped, with a team of more than 80 people equipped with submachine guns, mortars, grenades, and machine guns.
The fighting power is even more powerful, and the battle on the cliff breaks out.
The Japs are climbing up the rock. They are in a relatively disadvantageous terrain, but they are still able to launch a powerful attack.
A company arranged by Zhao Gang in the direction of the cliff could only barely block the Japanese's leading attacking force.
Fortunately, Kong Jie didn't know if he had received some news in advance, so he sent a commando team from the independent regiment to ambush him in advance.
Using a few 60 mortars, a round of firepower covered it and directly wiped out this small elite combat force of the Japanese."
The brigade commander and political commissar also felt a little scared after hearing this.
Then came the emotion.
The political commissar smiled and said: "It's really interesting to say that this small elite combat force of the Japanese is called the Yamamoto Special Agents Team according to Kong Jie's intelligence. It is an elite force specializing in special operations."
"As a result, every time this special agent team made a sneak attack on our Eighth Route Army, it seemed that it fell into Kong Jie's hands."
"Speaking of how unlucky these little devils are, Kong Jie is like their natural nemesis!"
From the first time this Japs appeared, they were severely wounded by Kong Jie in Yangcun.
Every time after that, the Japanese fell into the hands of Kong Jie.
Not long ago, Kong Jie also used the visits, exchanges, and studies in the independent group to deliberately set traps and almost wiped out this group of devils.
Before our eyes, this Japanese spy team has been completely destroyed.
In the words of the brigade commander who expressed his affirmation: "If this Japanese special agent team is compared to a mouse, Kong Jie is like a cat, staring at this mouse to death!"
We also discussed the reason why the Japanese army suddenly chose to retreat.
After the analysis by the three people, the brigade commander speculated: "The Japanese army's large-scale sweep this time is not as determined as in the past, and there is obviously room for the intensity of the attack."
"Coupled with this special agent team, the Japanese probably want to use a combination of oddity and right tactics to use this special agent team to decapitate our headquarters and thereby attack our troops."
"As for why this team of Japanese officers appeared here, the specific reasons still need to be explored, but if you think about it carefully, it probably means that the officers of the Jinsui Army came to our Eighth Route Army.
It’s nothing more than visiting, communicating, and learning.”
"It's a pity that they met this brat Li Yunlong. This boy's sense of smell is as sharp as a hungry wolf!"
Hahahaha——
……
……
The Japanese army was conducting a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army base areas in the past.
With the help of excellent equipment and abundant ammunition, when the Japs attacked, the Eighth Route Army often did not dare to confront them head-on.
They can only be forced to engage in guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, diversion and harassment.
When the Japanese troops were about to evacuate, they often seemed calm.
The Eighth Route Army troops had crude weapons and scarce ammunition, and could not stop the little devil at all.
But this time, after Yoshio Shinozuka issued the order for the entire army to evacuate, the mopping up troops used by the Japanese army in the iron gun sweep were far less relaxed and comfortable than before when they evacuated.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue him!
This is the consistent guerrilla fighting style of the Eighth Route Army.
What is different from the past is that all units of the Eighth Route Army today have made progress in equipment.
Especially some units closer to the Independent Regiment, with the help of the Independent Regiment, the ammunition and equipment in the regiment have been enriched a lot.
When the Japs attacked, these troops blocked them layer by layer, making it difficult for the Japs to move even an inch, and the casualties continued to increase.
When the Japanese want to retreat, it's not that simple.
What the Eighth Route Army troops are best at is mobile warfare, and what they compete with is their feet.
As the Japanese advanced, the soldiers blocked them layer by layer, and then gradually retreated under the strong Japanese attack, giving the Japanese the illusion of having no choice but to retreat.
Then some soldiers secretly went back to the rear of the Japanese army and laid mines on the Japanese retreat route in advance.
In order to prevent the Japanese army from retreating after the attack failed.
In the words of Captain Feng of the Fifth Regiment at the time:
"This naughty little devil has really made a fool of our fifth regiment? Where does he think our base is? He can come and leave whenever he wants?"
"He has to ask about the gun in our soldier's hand and see if it answers."
"Pass my order, make a detour on both sides, and set up ambushes along the way. Don't hold back. We can fight hard this time."
"The newly issued equipment and ammunition given to everyone during this period are not just for viewing!"…………
