632 The hard power of the strongest anti-Japanese detachment in northwestern Shanxi (Part 1)
After the book written by Kong Jie himself, recording the tactical thoughts of tunnel warfare, arrived in Jizhong.
The various ministries in central Hebei took action quickly, and a raging tunnel war started in central Hebei with the force of a prairie fire.
The 28th Regiment is not idle.
After using tunnel warfare in the village to eliminate nearly a hundred Japanese and puppet troops for the first time.
On the one hand, we will continue to incorporate tunnel warfare elements into the defense construction of the entire base area.
On the other hand, the 20 mine detectors sent by Kong Jie were not idle for the 28th Regiment. Under the arrangement of Commander Lu, they were quickly used by the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops to blockade the 28th Regiment and some areas between villages.
Minefield Clearance Part 1.
"How many mines were dug out?"
More than a week later, Captain Lu asked Tao Shunmin and Sun Chuanzhong, who were in charge of demining.
Tao Shunmin said happily: "The mine detector sent by Commander Kong is really useful. In addition, the mines planted by the Japs are far less complicated than those we usually use in mine warfare, and they are much easier to eliminate."<
/p>
"The enemy's mines are much more powerful than ours, and they contain a lot of explosives, as well as some fuze devices. For us, these are treasures that can be reused."
"The soldiers have been busy digging for treasures every day. As of today, they have dug out more than 300 landmines."
"At present, villages where the Japanese control is relatively weak, as well as some minefields around our base areas, have all been eliminated."
"Right now, there are only some counties, villages and towns where the Japanese have strong control, and minefields around the strongholds. We estimate that we will have to take action at night."
"In addition, after clearing the mines, we followed your instructions, commander, and did some superficial treatment. The Japanese thought their mines were well under the soil!"
"Okay!" Captain Lu couldn't help but praise, and then ordered:
"Just do it like this. We must not let the little devils know about the mine detectors we have. There are still minefields between the villages that have been eliminated and around the base area. We still have to create suspicions to let the little devils know.
I thought the minefield was still there."
"In this way, if we move from the original minefield at night, we will definitely be able to catch the little devils off guard."
"Hey!" Tao Shunmin and Sun Chuanzhong responded with a smile.
"As for these dug mines..."
"Captain, the Japs' mines have a sophisticated structure. During the elimination process, we destroyed his firing device in advance in order to ensure that no problems occurred. Therefore, it is unlikely that these mines will be reused after they are successfully eliminated."
Tao Shunmin explained.
Captain Lu said: "Then dismantle the Japanese mines and use the gunpowder ingredients inside to make our own landmines. I remember that among the books Lao Kong sent me, there was also a book dedicated to introducing mine warfare.
It records many methods for making land mines."
"Iron mines, stone mines, trip mines, water mines, chain mines, clip mines, sub-multiple mines, rolling mines and other different forms of application mines, even I couldn't help but gasped when I saw them. If all these can be used
For the little devils, I’m sure they’ll have nightmares even when they sleep.”
"Speaking of which, Lao Kong is getting more and more bad when dealing with the little devils."
"Yes!" Tao Shunmin responded.
In fact, the troops in the central Hebei base area have already used this type of mine warfare.
Jizhong has a plain terrain and does not have as vast a mountainous area as the Taihang Base Area, which is used to fight guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and ambush warfare against the Japanese.
Mine warfare is suitable for such terrain.
Often when the Japanese and puppet troops launch raids on the Jizhong Military Region, the soldiers often use mine warfare to deal with the Japanese.
Relatively speaking, it was rare for the Japanese to use landmines in their battles with the Eighth Route Army.
However, they are used slightly more in the Jizhong area, and they are mostly used for defense. They are buried in some cities, villages and towns, and are used for defense around gun tower strongholds.
After all, landmines are not like grenades or artillery shells, which can hit the target.
When the Japanese fought against the Eighth Route Army, they were often on the offensive side, so landmines were of little use.
As for placing landmines widely in places like the Taihang Mountains, facing the Eighth Route Army scattered like a vast ocean across the entire mountainous area to fight guerrillas, it will have no effect at all and will be a waste of resources.
The little devil, who is in a small area and short of resources, will naturally not do such a thankless job.
Therefore, during the battle between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, the only advantage the Eighth Route Army had in terms of equipment was probably landmines.
The Japanese have always hated the endless variety of landmines created by the Eighth Route Army.
With the help of these mine detectors sent by Kong Jie, the minefields used by the Japanese to defend against raids by the Eighth Route Army troops, cut off the connections between villages, and prevent the movement of troops will no longer be a threat, and have even become free military industry for the 28th Regiment.
Materials.
Captain Lu focused on another matter:
"Has the secret transportation channel to the first detachment been opened?"
Tao Shunmin said: "Captain, don't worry, we have already got through it, and we have even contacted the comrades of the detachment."
"The entire route is concealed enough. In addition, Commander Kong has also placed a lot of warnings along the way and said that he will send a batch of daily products first so that we can secretly sell them to the enemy-occupied areas."
Captain Lu said happily: "That's great. Lao Kong is very efficient in doing things."
The other side.
Just when the troops in Jizhong were constantly fighting against the Japanese using tunnel warfare and mine warfare.
An independent group.
Or the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi.
Around Netsuchi, since the arrival of Japanese Major Sakashima who was willing to collude with Miki Ichiro and Qian Dekai.
Everything was calm on both sides.
Ichiro Miki occasionally led his team to pretend to enter the guerrilla area outside the first detachment to carry out rural clearing campaigns, but in fact he did not even dare to enter the village.
He knows Kong Jie's temper.
Cooperation is cooperation.
If Ichiro Miki really dares to take the initiative, he will immediately incur a devastating blow from Kong Jie.
The private cooperation between the two parties continues to proceed happily and friendly.
Since Kawashima arrived and joined forces with Miki Ichiro, Miki Ichiro's group has become more powerful, and the amount of food secretly sold to the first detachment has gradually increased.
Miki Ichiro didn't care why Kong Jie was hoarding so much food. Anyway, the price given by Boss Kong made him extremely satisfied. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.
In the county town, he relied on his banner as a Japanese military officer to purchase grain, and then sold it to Kong Jie at a high price. After receiving the price difference, Ichiro Miki still made a lot of money.
Boss Qian Kong is not bad. Once the disaster spreads and the Japanese army blocks the base area, what the Eighth Route Army lacks most is supplies and food.
It is wisest to turn money with no real value into hoarded food.
Detachment station.
Kong Jie first took Chief of Staff Xu Guoan to the headquarters of the semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion commanded by battalion commander Sun Desheng and instructor Zhu Dalian.
"Captain!"
"Chief of Staff!"
Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, who came after hearing the news, saluted Kong Jie and Xu Guoan.
Kong Jie said: "After the establishment of the detachment, Lao Sun and Lao Chen, your semi-mechanized heavy-armed force has also achieved certain development.
This time I specially brought our Chief of Staff to visit us. I have to understand the internal situation of our detachment!"
"Welcome the two leaders to come and guide the work!" Instructor Chen Dalian said with a smile.
After the establishment of the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi.
Under Kong Jie's deployment, the semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion directly under the detachment headquarters was formally established, and even the headquarters was given a designation.
The commander of the semi-mechanized heavy-armed battalion is naturally Sun Desheng, the former commander of the independent regiment's cavalry company, and the instructor is Chen Dalian, the former instructor of the cavalry company.
During the visit, Kong Jie introduced to Xu Guoan:
"This continuous war is like a never-ending riding crop, constantly spurring the progress of our combat troops."
"The predecessor of the current semi-mechanized heavy-armed force is the cavalry company and motorized force of our independent regiment. After these two forces were reorganized and integrated and honed new combat tactics, the current semi-mechanized heavy-armed force was established.
Equip the troops."
Xu Guoan nodded and said with deep understanding:
"Facing the tough little Japs, our Eighth Route Army troops are far inferior in terms of mechanization, and even the cavalry troops are rare."
"But single cavalry and motorized units are not enough to deal with the increasingly complex battlefield situation."
"Lao Kong, your idea is very good. Combining the cavalry troops with the motorized troops will not only retain the fast mobility of the cavalry, but also give full play to the advantages of the mechanized troops. In this way, the strength of the motorized troops and the cavalry company will be better."
Combination is not as simple as one plus one equals two, but the effect of one plus one is much greater than two."
Hahahaha——
"Old Xu, I love hearing what you say!"
Kong Jie laughed and asked Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian to take Xu Guoan to visit the current development status of the semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion.
Chen Dalian took the lead in giving a general introduction and said:
"Chief of Staff, as you said, after our cavalry company and motorized force were reorganized and combined, they have retained their respective specialties."
"At present, our semi-mechanized heavy-armed battalion is mainly composed of four parts, namely light cavalry, motorcycle combat troops, heavy-armor combat troops, and various coordinated combat troops."
"The hard-coated cavalry is easy to say. We focused on retaining the rapid mobility of the original cavalry company and its adaptability to complex terrain. Throughout the unit, the soldiers are mainly equipped with some light firearms and small-caliber artillery with strong firepower to bear high mobility.
Rapid interspersion, detours, and various combat missions such as communication, sneak attacks, and vigilance."
"Then there are motorcycle combat units, which mainly use motorcycles and various types of firearms and artillery to fight."
"The specific method is to modify a three-wheeled motorcycle to carry light and heavy machine guns and artillery of various calibers on the passenger seat, so as to achieve both powerful firepower and high-speed maneuverability of machine guns and artillery."...
