Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Below the Lijiaopo Highlands.

Li Yunlong and Commander Cheng personally commanded at the front line.

Feeling the ferocity of the Japanese counterattack artillery fire, Commander Cheng couldn't help but be amazed, and at the same time felt fortunate, "If it weren't for Lao Kong defeating me in the attack and defense exercise at the brigade meeting, I would have given up the idea of ​​seizing the main attack and attacking the Yamazaki Battalion.

Under the fierce artillery attack of the Japs.

Our 772nd Regiment must have suffered heavy casualties."

——After all, in just over an hour, under the crazy artillery fire of the Yamazaki Battalion, even with the help of trenches and fortifications dug by earthworks to hide.

The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment and the New nd Regiment who were carrying out the excavation work still suffered more than one hundred casualties.

Even so, they were still under the cover of artillery fire from the independent regiment's reinforcements.

When the soldiers were carrying out earthwork, they dispersed their forces and dug circular trenches that were extremely effective in avoiding artillery fire.

It can be imagined that on the bare Lijiaopo high ground, the ingenious Japanese devils built fortifications in the central area of ​​the high ground, under the direct fire of machine guns and artillery.

If the Eighth Route Army soldiers launched a conventional frontal charge.

What terrible casualties would be.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong shouted at the top of his voice:

"Keep digging, speed up, and shorten the charge distance to about 30 meters. At this distance, even a woman can throw grenades into the Japanese's circular fortifications. Thousands of grenades will be thrown in at once, and then everyone will put on bayonets, blow the charge horn, and launch a full-scale attack.

Within three hours, you must annihilate the Yamazaki Battalion!"

……

at the same time.

Shouyang mountainous area, the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Inside the regiment headquarters, everyone from the regiment commander Kong Jie to the battalion commanders gathered there.

From the beginning to the end, the troops that appeared near Lijiaopo Heights were all troops from the New Second Regiment disguised as independent regiments.

The main force of the independent regiment has been hiding in the base area.

At the beginning of the meeting, Kong Jie looked at the military simulation sand table in front of him, which included the terrain conditions of the independent regiment's base, even including every valley and every river, and said straight to the point:

"Comrades, good news! The damned Japanese 113th Regiment can't wait to attack our base and send us artillery.

I was worried that our regiment was lacking some powerful siege artillery.

They sent it to us.

No doubt, the Yamazaki Battalion on Lijiaopo Hill will be handed over to the New 772nd Regiment and the nd Regiment.

As for the 113th Regiment of the Japanese, our independent regiment will take care of them all by itself."

I'm not bragging when I say this.

After Kong Jie finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of the participating cadres were not at all surprised, as if with the strength of the independent regiment, it was not a big deal to wipe out the fully-strength field regiment of the Japanese army in the base area.

So what if it’s just a field regiment of the Japanese?

According to intelligence, the Japanese 113th Regiment was reorganized from the original artillery regiment. The entire regiment had less than 4000 troops, which is the organization of three infantry battalions.

Not long ago, the independent regiment wiped out the Namwon Battalion of the Japanese Army in the base area, killing more than 1600 devils.

At the moment, the number of Japanese devils has increased by a little more than twice.

What are you afraid of?

After all, when we destroyed the Namwon Battalion last time, the cadres attending the meeting knew clearly in their minds that the full strength of our independent regiment has not yet been brought out!

At present, a long time has passed since the destruction of the Japanese Army's Namwon Battalion.

The size of the independent regiment has been further expanded, and its strength has exceeded 2500 people.

The equipment level was further improved after the equipment and ammunition of the Namwon Battalion were fully seized.

Under the guidance of Kong Jie's hand-rubbing craftsmanship, the small arsenal specially built by the independent regiment has also been fully put into production, with wooden-handled grenades, conscienceless cannons, directional anti-personnel mines - the king of killing, fertilizer powder explosive packs, and various types of modified artillery with simple structures.

The Japanese probably didn't expect that the independent regiment would grow so quickly.

Today, its appetite has grown big enough to completely swallow up a fully-strength field regiment of the Japanese Army.

of course.

To be on the safe side, Kong Jie made multiple preparations.

First, a thorough ambush circle was set up in advance in the direction that the Japanese were most likely to choose, waiting for the Japanese to fall into the trap.

Second, he contacted Ding Wei in advance and asked Ding Wei to quietly transfer the nearly 800 elite troops of the New st Regiment to the base of the Independent Regiment through a stable passage behind the base.

In this way, the number of troops participating in the battle of the independent regiment reached more than 3000.

It is basically close to the strength of the Japanese 113th Regiment.

The ratio of military strength between the two sides is almost 1:1.

In terms of the number of various types of artillery, the Independent Regiment was no less powerful than the Japanese army in short-range artillery confrontations.

The independent regiment also launched an ambush, taking advantage of the weather and terrain.

Are you still afraid of the Japanese?

In addition, the New 1st Regiment was Li Yunlong's old team that destroyed the Sakata Regiment Command with one shot and broke out of the siege from the front during the Battle of Cangyunling.

The combat effectiveness is obvious to all.

Ding Wei, who was afraid of chaos in the world, agreed without hesitation after hearing about this matter, and did not even ask his superiors for instructions. He hastily sent more than 800 elite soldiers and led the team himself to the independent regiment base.

Cooperate with Kong Jie's command to ambush the Japanese 113th Regiment.

Third, Kong Jie invited local military units around the Independent Regiment, including comrades from the county battalion, district squadron and district squad, to assist the main force of the Independent Regiment in blocking the Japanese army in the second-line defense zone.

Build layers of defense lines to completely encircle the Japanese invaders who enter the encirclement.

Fourth, Kong Jie arranged a mountain infiltration company in advance. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of the base, he detoured to the rear of the Japanese 113th Regiment, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the rear artillery and baggage troops that were disconnected from the main force of the Japanese army.

Fifth, Kong Jie arranged Wei Dayong to lead the special forces team to lurk in the mountains and carry a considerable number of portable Type 50 mortars.

Seek opportunities in the rear of the Japanese army, carry out decapitation operations, and destroy the enemy's various command posts...

……

After such a series of arrangements, Kong Jie expressed his confidence that as long as the Japanese 113th Regiment dared to enter the base of the independent regiment, they would be skinned alive if not killed.

…On the other side, Colonel Kurofuji led the main force of the 113th Regiment to advance rapidly. This old Japanese was no less arrogant than the old Japanese Nanhara who had already gone to see their emperor in advance.

This is almost the arrogance that Japanese officers always showed when facing the Eighth Route Army troops.

It's really the arrogance that comes from fighting on the front battlefield.

——The Central Army, the most powerful and well-equipped army in the Chinese army, was completely crushed by the Japanese army.

What’s more, what about the Eighth Route Army, which is like beggars, surviving in the cracks of the occupied areas, with backward equipment and scarce ammunition?

Inherent prejudices are difficult to change for conservative Japanese military officers.

Although Colonel Kurofuji was also very clear that not long ago, the Namwon Battalion was completely destroyed in the independent regiment's base.

But he still believes confidently:

The Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment could never stop the attack of his 113th Regiment!
