635 Rushing to the new battlefield in southern Shanxi with high spirits (Part 2)
After another half hour of discussion, the details of the plan to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain were basically finalized.
Kong Jie finally gave instructions: "After your regiment leaders return, take action immediately. The initial action time is set at 6 a.m. the next day."
"This time we are sending reinforcements to Zhongtiao Mountain. Once the Japanese army becomes aware of our strategic intentions, they will definitely block it frantically."
"In order to ensure that our Henan-Jinxi District Party Committee and the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment reach the Zhongtiao Mountain area smoothly, the team will be divided into multiple batches and transferred towards the Zhongtiao Mountain to confuse the Japanese army's judgment."
"Yes——" the cadres responded in unison.
"Wenjie, the information should be revealed through Ichiro Miki. We are selling him a personal favor. With such intelligence information, Ichiro Miki, Qian Dekai and others can gain the trust of their superiors in the Japanese army."
"In addition, before the operation begins, the villages and guerrilla groups in the base area and peripheral guerrilla areas will strengthen their vigilance to be alert to sudden advances by Japanese troops at any time."
"Hey!" Li Wenjie responded.
Kong Jie smiled again and said: "Of course, the reason why we go south with such a big fanfare is to hook the Japanese, so that all troops will be ready to fight at any time.
Let me tell you, whether you eat meat or soup this time depends on the ability of each unit. If you are really capable, even if the county brigade seizes more than the regular troops, no one will have a problem."
After the meeting, Kong Jie went to Wang An, the head of the Enemy Industry Department, and said with sincerity: "If you want to win a war, intelligence work is the most important part. There is only one requirement for your Enemy Industry Department, no matter what the little devil does.
, before they leave the county, village or town, the news must be passed to the headquarters in advance.
Lao Wang, this is a heavy responsibility, it’s up to you!”
Wang An said solemnly: "Captain, don't worry, since our communication system has been opened, we can even transmit messages remotely through the radio. We guarantee that we can complete the task!"
"Go!" Kong Jie said.
"Yes!"
Kong Jie is quite satisfied with the relatively complete communication system that the detachment has established now.
Some of these communication equipment were seized from the Japanese and puppet troops, and some were radio equipment obtained by Kong Jie after cooperating with American businessman John and contacting some communication companies in the United States.
Mainly, they are battalion, platoon-level radio communication equipment that the Yankees often use in the army.
For example, the SCR-536 radio station used by Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment, is a Big Brother radio that weighs four kilograms.
Commander Chu used this big brother to mobilize the artillery battalion to attack at any time.
In addition, Kong Jie has mastered some technologies for independent transformation and production of radio equipment through the system.
So I bought back a lot of tape recorders and used radio stations from John to use them to produce the independent group's own radio equipment.
After a period of trial, application and development.
Nowadays, the communication between the various regiment headquarters and the detachment headquarters of the First Detachment through radio equipment and telephones is quite convenient and rapid.
This time, Kong Jie decided to approach Zhongtiao Mountain with great fanfare.
In order to confuse the Japanese army's judgment, on the one hand, Ichiro Miki and Qian Dekai revealed this operation to the Japanese army.
On the other hand, Kong Jie even arranged for the Communications Department to deliberately expose some radio communication signals to the little devils.
After the Japanese easily deciphered it, they immediately got the news:
The Eighth Route Army will go south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain!
……
……
First of all, after Ichiro Miki received the news, he was grateful for the favor sent by Commander Kong and immediately reported the news to the superior headquarters.
When the news reached Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi Province.
Japanese commander Yoshio Shinozuka and chief of staff Ayumi Kitagawa are studying a plan on how to deal with the Taihang base area and destroy the independent regiment.
Not long ago, the Japanese military intelligence department received news.
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was expanded into the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi. The detachment leader was Kong Jie, the former head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
After the news was conveyed, the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't sleep well all night.
"This small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army has finally grown into a serious problem for the empire!"
When analyzing the combat situation in Shanxi with Chief of Staff Kitagawa, Yoshio Shinozuka said somewhat helplessly.
Beichuan also smiled bitterly.
"General, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has developed really fast. I heard that not long ago they expanded several militia work groups, and their combat effectiveness is even more impressive. In a few days, they have wiped out dozens of bandit forces around the base area.
Clean and tidy."
"The current independent regiment, no, it should be said to be the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army, is completely beyond our control. So far we know very little about the specific strength, equipment, and internal defense construction of the base area.
."
"Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is really a difficult enemy!"
Shinozuka Yoshio did not speak, he was stroking a document in his hand. The handwriting on the document was also very familiar to Kitagawa. It was the handwriting of Kazuki Yamamoto, who had died for his country in pieces.
Kitagawa sighed: "General, are you thinking of Yamamoto-kun again?"
Yoshio Shinozuka breathed a long sigh of relief and did not deny it:
"Yes, when Yamamoto-kun and the special team are here, they can still compete with this independent group."
"However, after Mr. Yamamoto died for his country, a small independent regiment actually caused trouble for you and me. It is really a great shame for our army."
"If Yamamoto-kun is still alive, he will definitely be able to share our worries for you."
When the conversation changed, Yoshio Shinozuka opened the document, braced himself and said, "Let's take a look at Yamamoto-kun's final plan for us!"
As he browsed the words in the document, Yamamoto seemed to come to life again, standing in front of Shinozuka Yoshio and Kitagawa.
He has a resolute face and strong words:
"General, Kong Jie is very cunning, and his ability to predict battlefield situations is far beyond ordinary people. If our army wants to destroy the independent regiment, it is far from possible with only a small combat force."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Eighth Route Army once held an internal cadre exchange and visit meeting in the Independent Regiment, and I fell into Kong Jie's trap."
"But during the retreat, some secrets were discovered. The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment together formed the triangular defense system for the battle in northwest Shanxi. Moreover, among these three Eighth Route Army troops, there were secret developments in the mountains.
interconnected transportation channels."
"Their transportation channels are quite practical, and they even laid roads similar to our railway tracks, which can ensure the rapid transportation of baggage, equipment, supplies, and troops of the three parties, as well as mutual reinforcement."
"This means that if you attack one, you will suffer from the other. If you want to deal with the independent regiment, you must consider dividing the new first regiment and the new second regiment."
"So, if the beheading operation fails during this battle with the observation group, and if something happens to me, and the general subsequently intends to destroy the independent regiment, Yamamoto suggests sending two elite troops forward in separate directions, inserting them into the left and right wings of the independent regiment, and dividing them.
The connection between the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment was destroyed in advance, and the transportation channels connecting the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment with the Independent Regiment were destroyed. Then the left and right wings were encircled to shrink the absolute strength of the encirclement and completely annihilate the main force of the Independent Regiment.
."
"As for the approximate location of these secret transportation passages, I have already speculated that after the battle breaks out, the general can send fighter jets to blow up the passage first and then advance the battle..."
After browsing the files, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa felt a little emotional.
Regarding the failure of the beheading operation accompanying the Iron Gun battle, Yamamoto seemed to have expected it, so he left this document in advance.
What a pity for the talents of the empire...
Yoshio Shinozuka asked: "Kitagawa-kun, what do you think of Yamamoto-kun's legacy?"
Beichuan Road: "General, I think it is feasible."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, thinking about something in his mind, and gradually made up his mind and strengthened his determination.
After the final preparations are in place for a large-scale sweep, we must destroy the independent... first team in one fell swoop!
"Report!"
"Come in."
"Hi, General, there is news from the Yangquan headquarters that intelligence information has been detected. The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is sending troops south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Nani?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was a little shocked, and then he discussed with Chief of Staff Kitagawa how to deal with this first detachment!
"Is the information true?" Beichuan asked, who was also a little surprised.
The communications soldier said: "The Miki Squadron in Yangquan once detected the movement of the Eighth Route Army during the raid, and the information is reliable."
Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa were lost in thought.
Soon after, news came from the intelligence department that it had intercepted a radio signal sent from the area where the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment was located.
The command was conveyed to the Second Independent Regiment by the First Detachment Headquarters, instructing the Second Regiment to immediately prepare to cover the troops' communications southward to Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Baga!"
At this point, Yoshio Shinozuka, who no longer had any doubts, was a little angry.
This damn Kong Jie, the damn Independent Regiment, the damn First Detachment, the Taihang area is not enough for him, and he wants to go to the Zhongtiao Mountain area to cause trouble?
Once Kong Jie is allowed to open up Zhongtiao Mountain and the two base areas are connected to each other, this independent group will be even more difficult to deal with.
Beichuan even reminded: "General, the news came from the Zhongtiao Mountain area not long ago. Three main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army were exposed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The total strength is at least 6,000 people. Our army has placed troops in Yuncheng and Linfen.
The 47th and 41st divisions were also forced to stay in the southern Shanxi area and were temporarily unable to provide reinforcements to Taiyuan."
"If the reinforcements of the Independent Regiment to Zhongtiao Mountain cannot be stopped this time, once the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Zhongtiao Mountain continues to increase, the two divisions of our army will be even more unable to escape."
"This will seriously affect our army's subsequent large-scale raids on the Taihang base area!"
Yoshio Shinozuka took it seriously and said: "Yes, we must stop the Eighth Route Army troops heading south."
"Pass my order, the troops around Yangquan will slowly advance towards the base area of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and strictly block the passages around the Independent Regiment."
"In addition, a reconnaissance plane should be dispatched in advance to investigate the specific situation clearly."
"Hi!" the telephone soldier on the side responded, about to convey the command from the headquarters.
Beichuan suddenly remembered something and added: "The Eighth Route Army's independent regiment has a strong air defense force inside the base area. Tell the aviation unit to be cautious and only conduct exploration on the periphery. Do not rush into the independent regiment's air defense strike range."
