965 The first curse in the history of the Anti-Japanese War
With the end of the tacit understanding between Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, although they only made rough preparations to lure the Japanese army around Xiaonanzhuang and set up pocket formations.
The cadres who participated in the meeting were all bright-eyed.
"Old Kong, your mind is spinning very fast now!"
Captain Zhao clicked his tongue and praised.
Kong Jie, however, did not take credit and said with a smile: "This typical pocket ambush tactic must be the battle where our old brigade commander set up a pocket formation in Xiangcheng and wiped out the Japanese army.
In that battle, the boss was full of praise.
Later, the pocket formation pioneered by the old brigade commander was gradually studied and applied in different types of ambush operations, and it has been very effective.
So let’s talk about the pocket formation set up by Xiaonanzhuang this time.
To say that the credit for this really does not belong to me and Lao Li, but should be attributed to the old brigade commander!"
Brigadier Zhang smiled and said: "Yes, yes, that battle was one of the classic tactics pioneered by Lao Chen."
When it comes to the old brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, every cadre present here admires him from the bottom of his heart.
As for the classic pocket ambush and Xiangchenggu ambush commanded by the brigade commander, those present here are all senior cadres of the Eighth Route Army and have some familiarity with them.
Captain Zhao directly pointed out: "During the Xiangchenggu ambush battle, our troops cooperated with the people, and the two sides cooperated efficiently to form a complete encirclement formation.
We even built a 2,500-meter-long diamond-shaped trench on the west bank of the Gulaosha River in Xiangcheng, and at the same time blocked the surrounding villages bordering the trench, forming a "pocket-shaped" ambush circle.
The trenches that were quickly built for combat can truly be regarded as a miracle in the history of our Anti-Japanese War.
It’s just that time is running out this time. If we want to use the same pocket formation to deal with the Suzuki regiment, it may be too late to rush to build trenches that stretch for several kilometers.”
Li Yunlong directly grabbed the conversation and said carelessly:
"Old Zhao, what kind of trenches are you still building?
Our situation is already different now. The equipment level of the troops is much better than when the old brigade commander led the Xiangchenggu ambush battle.
To use an analogy, we used to eat out of broken bowls, but now we eat out of iron basins.
This situation is different. Why, are you afraid that the iron basin in your hand will fall to the ground and be broken again like the broken bowl?"
As he spoke, Li Yunlong pointed out the key points: "In the previous pocket formation, when we tightened our pockets, we relied on the two legs of our infantry, plus a cavalry unit.
Therefore, if such pockets are tied slowly, the Japs can easily break out of our encirclement. In addition, the Japs are more mechanized than us, and their mobility is faster than ours in the plains.
The equipment had an absolute advantage. In this case, the old brigade commander could only find a time-consuming and laborious way to build a trench to assist in the ambush.
But things are different now. In our Northwest Military Region, the overall mechanization level of the troops may not be as good as that of the Little Devils.
But if we deploy some of our mobile combat elites to target the Japanese Suzuki Regiment.
In small-scale confrontations, the mobility of our combat troops is greater than that of the little devils.
The method is simple and crude. I suggest that Lao Kong and I should lead part of the mechanized combat force this time and be responsible for tightening the pocket formation.
The rest of the main force is responsible for flanking and completely sealing the sides of the pockets.
After the battle started, when the two sides were fighting in confusion, an elite armored force rushed directly in, took the lead in taking over the Japanese artillery position, and completely broke up the Japanese formation..."
Li Yunlong started talking non-stop.
Kong Jie on the side quickly interrupted Lao Li's narration.
He was afraid that Lao Li would get carried away for a moment and suddenly yell: "You comrades in the Northwest Military Region don't need to take action. Lao Kong and I brought the reinforcements this time and we can wrap up the Suzuki Regiment ourselves!" p>
Cough cough cough——
"Brigadier, I agree with what Lao Li said.
Now the equipment of our troops is different from before. It is similar to Xiangchenggu's ambush battle. We must continue to use the general prototype and tactical ideas.
But during specific operations, we should make full use of our superior firepower equipment and innovate it to exert greater combat effectiveness.
I personally suggest that the leading offensive force, which faces the Suzuki United, should be taken over by the team brought here by Lao Li and me.
Our team's firepower configuration is relatively strong, and small-caliber artillery has been fully assigned to the squad.
Coupled with regular coordinated combat exercises, the power of these squad-level support artillery can be fully utilized.
As for our other main force comrades in the Northwest Military Region, they can be responsible for outflanking the two flanks."
Kong Jie's words were quite tactful, which was a great honor to the fraternal troops in the Northwest Military Region.
If this were Li Yunlong, he might have said something carefree:
"Your equipment is not good enough, so we, Lao Li, must come to us as the main force!"
Brigadier Zhang didn’t know that Kong Jie’s words were euphemistic.
This was before seeing the large number of mobile combat troops led by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.
They both carry one head on two shoulders. Even Brigadier Zhang, who has always been friendly to others, will never easily admit that his team of the 120th Division will not be as good as the iron triangle of the 129th Division.
These are the main force of the division, why is your regiment so powerful?
Why do we have to let your group serve as the main force when we reach our territory?
But since I have seen the mobile combat troops brought by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie this time, they are tanks, armored vehicles, military cars, motorcycles, plus the overall combat troops, the dazzling equipment.
In addition, Iron Triangle has achieved great success in the Taihang area.
Brigadier Zhang also had to admit that the development of the team led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie in recent years has indeed far exceeded that of his 358 brigade team.
In addition, as the old saying goes, if you are soft on others, you will be short on others.
This time, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the troops and sent a lot of supplies and arms and equipment to the 358th Brigade.
I have seen the Iron Triangle team, and the firepower configuration assigned to the most basic ordinary combat squad includes various small-caliber artillery, rifle grenades, submachine guns, and Garand semi-automatic rifles.
Brigadier Zhang also knows very well that this time against the Japanese Suzuki Regiment, the team responsible for frontal combat must be a team from the Iron Triangle if they want to quickly defeat the Suzuki Regiment.
"Brigadier, this is mainly to create that sense of abruptness!"
"This little guy stationed in the Mongolian Army has fought with our 120th Division troops for many years. He knows a little bit about our team's tactics and equipment."
"So for the attack of our 358th Brigade troops, the Japs will most likely be prepared in advance. If Lao Li and I are responsible for leading the team, the tactics of the troops will be completely different, and the Japs will be caught off guard!"<
/p>
Kong Jie added a few more words.
In the end, Brigadier Zhang accepted Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's suggestion to set up a pocket ambush formation in Xiaonanzhuang.
After final discussions with the cadres, specific operational arrangements were made:
The cavalry company of the 715th Regiment launched a decoy attack in the direction of Guzhen to lure the Suzuki Regiment into pursuit.
A battalion of troops from the 716th Regiment was deployed and stationed in Xiaonanzhuang, responsible for engaging the enemy head-on and containing the Japanese army.
At the same time, Kong Jie led two battalions to lurk at the entrance of the West Village of Xiaonanzhuang, waiting for an opportunity to assist the 1st Battalion of the 716th Regiment stationed in Xiaonanzhuang to launch a frontal counterattack against the Suzuki Regiment.
The 716th Regiment is responsible for the northwest direction of Xiaonanzhuang. The armored troops sent by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie to attack the Suzuki Regiment's baggage and artillery units from the middle are waiting along with them.
To the southeast, around Changqing Village, the 715th Regiment is responsible.
In the Liujiazhuang area in the northeast, the Yanbei detachment was temporarily lurking, waiting for an opportunity to outflank the Japanese troops who were lured deep into the enemy's territory from the right wing.
As for the west direction of Xiaonanzhuang, the reinforced mobile combat troops of the Iron Triangle, led by Li Yunlong personally, were deployed secretly.
Be prepared at any time to launch a surprise attack when the Nishino Regiment stationed in Baode County reinforces the Suzuki Regiment and capture Baode County in one fell swoop.
Everything was deployed quickly
……
The next day, it was still relatively dark, somewhere between night and bright light.
It's not like you can't see your fingers, but you can still use the dim night as the best cover. It's the perfect time to kill people and set fire to them.
Boom——
The sudden sound of cannons exploded on the top of the city gate of Guzhen, directly breaking the original silence of the entire Guzhen.
The Japanese and puppet troops guarding the city on top of the Guzhen city gate were panicked and quickly investigated the situation.
A sharp-eyed puppet soldier screamed, indicating that there seemed to be enemy soldiers not far away.
The gunman was a squad leader of the cavalry company of the 716th Regiment. He played the role of artillery in the team, and the mortar he used was not a serious mortar. He just captured the Japanese grenade and passed through a team of
The 50-year-old cannon after the transformation of the arsenal.
At this moment, he was marveling:
"It's awesome! I just got the bullet-making barrel captured from the Japanese, made some slight modifications, added a tripod, then made the barrel thicker and thicker, and added a propellant pack.
When this shell is fired, its range is at least one to two hundred meters longer than the Japanese grenade!
The power of the cannonballs is also greater.
What a good thing. With this thing, it’s not expensive to make. In the future, when we encounter the Japs’ grenades, we can hit them all the way!”
The company commander smiled and said: "Okay, don't be so talkative, don't forget our mission, we are here to lure the enemy.
Now we have to think of a way to annoy the little devils in Gucheng and make them go crazy and go out of the city to chase us!"
The platoon leader replied: "Company commander, according to our original plan, we launched harassing attacks around the three gates of the east, west, north and west of this solid town, and used artillery bombardment to annoy the Japanese army.
But when I came here, Commander Kong actually gave me an idea!"
"Oh, Commander Kong's idea? What idea?"
The platoon leader recalled what Kong Jie said at that time and said:
"Company Commander, Captain Kong said that the priority is to attack the heart and attack the city. If we want to completely anger the little Japs, just harassing the gates of Guzhen may not be effective. We also have to think of ways to annoy the Japs from the bottom of our hearts.
Devil."
"What should be done specifically?"
"Captain Kong said that I heard that the old Japanese soldier Suzuki had a hot temper and had carried out massacres in Baode County, so he looked down upon our Chinese army the most.
We can arrange some soldiers with loudspeakers, some who speak Chinese and some who speak Japanese, to greet all the 18 generations of the ancestors of that old devil Suzuki, and to scold them if they say anything unpleasant.
Oh, by the way, it’s better to compare Nishino United to Suzuki United and completely piss this old devil off."
When the company commander heard this, he suddenly said, "Wonderful!"
"It's just...does anyone in our team know Japanese?"
"Here, company commander, it seems that only a few soldiers can speak a few words in Japanese!"
The company commander thought for a while and urged: "That's enough, that's enough. I can speak a few sentences, but I really don't know how to say it, so just make it up.
Anyway, there are many puppet troops in the county, and they will translate for us!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a lively scene began surrounding the three gates in the east, west, and north of Gucheng.
Every time there was a brief lull in the artillery shelling of the siege, the sound of the Eighth Route Army soldiers outside the city gate shouted with wooden loudspeakers.
The content is nothing but greetings to the eight generations of ancestors of the old devil Suzuki.
Why not the eighteenth generation of our ancestors?
Some soldiers scolded him: "How can this old devil like Suzuki have such a good life! If he can have eight generations of ancestors, he is considered to be respected!"
..."The Nishino Alliance is so dumb!"
"Suzuki United, the bastards of ten thousand years!"
"Suzuki, I call you Immortal Banban——"
There are endless layers of ugly words, and there are even a few Japanese sentences mixed in.
The soldier who came to scold the formation in Japanese couldn't remember some of the words, so he just made them up.
What about "senwamu asshole" and "burn your daddy to death"...
I really vomited fragrance, saliva flew everywhere, and talked endlessly.
...Guzhen, the military camp headquarters where the Japanese Suzuki Regiment was temporarily stationed.
Colonel Suzuki was awakened early in the morning by a cannonball fired at the city gate.
When he hurried to the inside of the anti-gun fortification on top of the city gate, he heard all kinds of insults coming from below the city.
He doesn't know much Chinese, and he doesn't know much about Japanese, and the people scolding him down there speak very weird words.
Suzuki called the translator and asked what the eight people below were asking about.
To say that this translator is also a talented person, maybe he is resentful of being slapped by the hot-tempered Suzuki. He is adding fuel to the fire and is not sure whether he is helping the translator or venting his anger on his own.
Private anger.
He scolded the old devil Suzuki with extremely vicious and infuriating insulting words.
Good guy, I almost even mixed my personal emotions into it.
"Baga!"
Suzuki, who was almost furious, slapped the translator on the face.
The fat translator quickly begged for mercy: "Taijun, these words are not from me, they are all scolded by the people in the city!"
The old devil Suzuki, who had a hot temper, suddenly became furious, especially when he scolded people who were not as good as his family members. These damn bastards actually picked out his most respected mother, father, and even several generations of his ancestors and scolded them all. Then I heard the people below comparing his Suzuki team to the weaklings of Nishino who were sitting in Baode County and didn't dare to leave the city.
The old Japanese Suzuki, whose uncle could endure it but his aunt could not, immediately ordered the city to attack.
And directly dispatched a mechanized reinforced squadron of his Suzuki Regiment, equipped with considerable artillery, to take the lead in attacking Tubal Road outside the city.
Later, a storyteller in the city compiled this paragraph:
There was a lot of shouting in the Eighth Road City, and Mr. Suzuki was angry.
They furiously chased Kaicheng for three thousand miles, and the whole army was destroyed and their souls disappeared.
It is really the first curse in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. It is wonderful and wonderful to drown the Japanese army with spittle...
