After the candidate for the head of the Strategic Deception Bureau - Shi Dahu was decided.
The Strategic Deception Bureau of the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment of Northwestern Shanxi was formally established, becoming an innovative and innovative department of the Eighth Route Army.
For the strategic deception bureau, Kong Jie gave great support.
On the day the department was established, Kong Jie said earnestly to Shi Dahu and other cadres of the Strategic Guarantee Bureau:
"Don't underestimate this special department of ours. As long as it is used properly, it will play an amazing role."
"After our Strategic Camouflage Bureau is officially established, the detachment will give you strong support, and all the troops in the station will fully cooperate with your camouflage operations."
"Your first priority right now is to carry out air defense camouflage inside the base area. There will be many camouflage projects in the future, camouflaging troops, camouflaging warehouses, camouflaging artillery positions, etc."
"Excellent camouflage can prevent our soldiers from being discovered by the enemy. The same is true for our base areas. Excellent camouflage can paralyze the Japanese army's judgment."
"Remember the last time the Japanese bombers came to bomb our base? It was the camouflaged anti-gun fortifications that fooled the Japanese planes."
"In the future, our camouflage will cover all aspects of the base area. Right now it is the camouflage of the internal base area. From now on, I will allocate some radio stations to your Strategic Camouflage Bureau to use to release false information to the enemy."
Having said this, Kong Jie looked at Shi Dahu and said:
"Shi Dahu, the role of the Strategic Camouflage Bureau is by no means limited to what I mentioned. The potential is unlimited. It depends on how you explore it."
"Yes, leader, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task!"
Shi Dahu said loudly, his eyes were shining, and he was full of confidence in this professional position.
……
……
Zhongtiao Mountain area.
The Japanese army racked their brains to think of how to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army operating in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
Initially, the Japanese army judged that after Kong Jie's reinforcements to Zhongtiao Mountain, he added the three main battle groups of the Eighth Route Army that had emerged.
There are nearly 10,000 main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
But after many sweeps of Zhongtiao Mountain, nothing was found.
The Japanese army's judgment began to waver.
The little Japs are not stupid. The Japs officers believe that if there are really tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, they will never be able to avoid the mopping up net so easily.
On the other side, Wang Huaibao, leader of the Third Independent Regiment under the First Detachment, led his troops to station in the mountainous area of Zhongtiao Mountain.
At the subsequent military meeting within the regiment, Wang Huaibao said:
"Our third regiment has been entering Zhongtiao Mountain for a long time, and the Japanese army is not stupid. As time goes by, problems will soon be discovered.
If we cannot show strong enough combat effectiveness, we will pose a greater threat to the Japanese army.
The Japanese's 47th and 41st divisions originally stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area are likely to be free to reinforce the Taiyuan area."
"Now that the Japanese raids are gradually weakening, it's time for us to fight back and harass the Japanese."
Fourth Battalion Commander Han Feng proposed a multi-front combat plan.
"Fighting on multiple fronts in the front, middle and rear sections of Zhongtiao Mountain will make it difficult for the Japanese to know how many troops we have."
Wang Huaibao agreed with this and asked:
"We don't have many troops, so we can only rely on strong enough combat effectiveness and sophisticated equipment to paralyze the little devil's judgment."
"The current work is divided into three parts. The first part is external guerrilla operations. We will unite with some remaining national guerrilla troops still in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to jointly resist the Japanese invaders and strive to contain more Japanese troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
."
"The second step is to strengthen ties with the people in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and the people in the county, and secretly establish the political authority of our Eighth Route Army troops."
"The third branch, in accordance with the instructions from our superiors, embarked on our most important task this time, opening up the Zhongtiao Mountain Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base Area."
Wang Huaibao smiled brightly when he said this.
"I think all the cadres here will have no lack of experience in how to take root in Zhongtiao Mountain, first establish local garrison areas for our troops, then spread to the periphery, gradually build anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas, and expand guerrilla areas."
"In this regard, the development of our independent regiment to today's first anti-Japanese detachment is the best example."
"Winning over the puppet regime, developing the enemy's Ministry of Industry, building a military engineering team, establishing a militia system, three parts military, seven parts politics, and focusing on both the economy and the military..."
"Comrades, on the road to opening up the anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Zhongtiao Mountain, we have a lot of experience that we can learn from our old independent regiment!"
Shortly after the meeting, guerrilla warfare began in various places in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
In these guerrilla operations scattered in the front, middle and back half of Zhongtiao Mountain, it seems that there is no pattern.
The soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment showed strong combat effectiveness.
Every guerrilla war, ambush war, mobile war, and harassment war was fought beautifully.
The little devil, who had carried out many large-scale raids in the Zhongtiao Mountain area but found nothing, believed that there might not be so many Eighth Route Army soldiers in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and there would not be as big a threat to the Japanese Empire as expected.
The Three Independent Regiments Thunder Attack!
The Dashu Village area at the southwest end of Zhongtiao Mountain.
A Japanese mopping up force of more than 100 people was suddenly ambushed by Eighth Route Army troops.
The battle broke out quickly and ended quickly.
When the Japanese soldiers in the nearby county received an urgent signal for help and led reinforcements there, only white corpses of the Japanese soldiers were left in the combat area.
Apart from this, not even the shadow of the enemy was seen.
The Qingshan Village area in the middle section of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The news came that more than 100 Japanese troops in the Dashu Village area were wiped out in an ambush battle, and the Japanese and puppet troops were horrified.
The independent combat units that carry out subsequent sweeps are often higher up in the squadron.
What I fear is that I will be wiped out by the powerful Eighth Route Army troops before I can wait for reinforcements.
This time the raid was carried out by a fully-equipped Japanese squadron with nearly 200 Japanese soldiers, plus a puppet army camp with more than 300 puppet soldiers.
A total of more than 500 Japanese puppet troops entered the mountainous areas to carry out raids.
Han Feng led the men and horses of the original mountain company of the fourth battalion to attack decisively.
More than two hundred American M1 Garand rifles first showed their talents in this battle.
Before they had time to pull the gun bolt again, many little Japs were knocked out by the continuous firepower from the opposite side.
The fourth battalion is composed of the original three mountain companies.
In addition, I am familiar with the topography and topography of the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
When the actual battle begins, the combat effectiveness displayed even has additional bonuses.
In this regard, even the new soldiers of the Third Independent Regiment who came to Zhongtiao Mountain cannot compare.
In the deployment of this ambush operation.
Han Feng chose a location with excellent terrain for the ambush. It was a long mountain road, and the entire ambush site was pocket-shaped.
The military quality of the Japanese squadron leader who led the team was not bad.
In order to guard against a possible ambush by the Eighth Route Army troops midway, he sent out leading scouts to search and advance while pulling the troops into a long queue.
In order to cope with the ambush of the Eighth Route Army troops at a certain point, the battle formation can be adjusted at any time.
After detecting intelligence in advance and learning the strength, firepower configuration and marching formation of the Japanese army.
Han Feng immediately adjusted his combat deployment.
In the pocket-shaped ambush area, he divided his troops into four combat units.
Two flanking units, occupying 60% of the strength of the fourth battalion, are located on the left and right sides of the mountain road.
The ambush point has sufficient front exit channels, which can hide the troops well on both sides. In addition, blocking troops and tail attack troops are placed at the front and rear of the ambush mountain road.
The interception team was deployed on a high slope used to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops, and was located on the right side of the mountain road.
In order to assume the role of blocking and intercepting the Japanese and puppet troops, they cooperated with the flanking detachment to annihilate the enemy.
Before the Japanese arrived, the soldiers made full preparations and built important firepower points such as machine guns in concealed positions with good visibility to ensure that they could fully exert their firepower and cover the infantry impact.
Mortars are deployed in hidden areas that can control blind spots to ensure that the Japanese and puppet troops have nowhere to hide.
The two flanking attack teams built various types of firepower on both sides of the mountain road, presenting an entire firepower network of direct fire, side fire, and oblique fire, ensuring that there were no blind spots in the ambush area.
The ambush area is divided into two lines: the forward ambush area, and the side and rear ambush area.
Only a small number of guard posts are deployed in the forward ambush area.
Everyone hid and let go of the Japs' leading scout.
When the time is right, the flanking, blocking and tail attacking units quickly and secretly move from the waiting area to the forward ambush area.
In addition, Han Feng also sent security troops to the surrounding areas.
On the one hand, it can convey the changes in the marching position of the Japanese and puppet troops at any time, and on the other hand, it should always be on guard for the arrival of Japanese reinforcements after the battle begins.
In addition, in the surrounding villages in this area, propaganda cadres have long laid a good mass foundation, including the puppet regime in some nearby villages, which have also been successfully won over by the soldiers.
When the battle suddenly broke out, the sound of gunfire was transmitted in all directions.
The villagers in the surrounding villages, including the puppet army traitors, pretended not to know and turned a blind eye.
The news was blocked invisibly and did not reach the Japanese military headquarters.
As soon as the battle in the ambush area started, the two flanking detachments caught the Japanese and puppet troops by surprise.
The ambush location chosen by Han Feng was excellent, allowing the soldiers to strike from a high position.
Due to terrain restrictions, the Japanese army formed a long marching formation and was unable to deploy its troops immediately.
When the Japanese troops quickly adjusted their formation, Han Feng directly gave the order to fire.
Several mortars continued to bombard the central area of the Japanese team.
Directly cut off the long dragon of the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle, so that the Japanese and puppet troops cannot look at each other.
Faced with the unrelenting attack of the soldiers and the powerful firepower impact, the Japanese finally panicked. They originally wanted to break out from the head and tail of the ambush mountain road, but were blocked by the blocking team and the tail attack team.
There is no way to break out.
The final battle lasted less than an hour and was immediately over.
Nearly 200 Japanese troops were wiped out.
Seeing that the situation was over, the remaining more than 100 puppet troops quickly chose to surrender.
It was not until the soldiers thoroughly cleaned the battlefield that some puppet soldiers nearby pretended to pass the news to the Japanese army.
When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, looking at the corpses on the ground, they could only continue to do the sad aftermath.
The news spread, and the Japanese troops stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain were shocked.
A full squadron of mopping up troops, plus more than 300 Imperial Army troops, were unexpectedly completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army troops.
For the Japanese army, this was like a bolt from the blue.
The situation between China and Japan in the Zhongtiao Mountain area has become tense again.
The little Japs who originally thought about deploying troops from the Zhongtiao Mountain area to reinforce Taiyuan City had to temporarily give up their plans...
