Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Hei Teng didn't want to run away either, as that would be too embarrassing.

The key is that you can't beat it.

They retreated in such a panic that they didn't even care about the lost artillery and baggage.

He fully realized that this was a big trap.

The Yamazaki Battalion's communications repeatedly emphasized that it was indeed the main force of the independent regiment that appeared in Lijiaopo, and they even used the infantry artillery lost by the Japanese army.

Except for the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, other Eighth Route Army units could not have infantry artillery.

That idiot really did him a disastrous job.

This Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment Base is clearly a huge pit, a huge trap.

This damn cunning Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment had clearly prepared a trap in the base in advance, waiting for his 113th Regiment to jump in.

If it was a conventional positional battle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the 113th Regiment, which was reorganized from the Japanese field artillery company, had a total strength of less than 4000 people.

However, they could completely rely on their equipment and artillery advantages to confront the two elite divisions of the National Army, or even 4 to 5 miscellaneous divisions.

Even the Sakata Regiment, which was known as the elite of the Japanese army and the flower of the Imperial Army, and which defeated two divisions of the Central Army head-on in the Battle of Xinkou.

In terms of artillery power, they are no match for the 113th Regiment.

Not to mention the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army.

Including the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment that ambushed his 113th Regiment at this moment.

The old Japanese soldier Hei Teng also discovered that although the Eighth Route Army was well-equipped, it had a considerable number of machine guns and artillery.

But there are not many large-caliber barreled artillery.

They were just some small-caliber artillery pieces that couldn't even be considered light mortars.

There are also those strange cannons that can throw explosive packs and have barrels thicker than the waist, but their range is actually very limited.

If the Eighth Route Army had not ambushed in the village in advance, with a range of only one or two hundred meters, it would have been impossible to hit the Japanese army.

Colonel Kurofuji suffered from the terrain.

He originally thought that there were no Eighth Route Army troops in the village, so he led his troops all the way forward and defeated the Eighth Route Army troops many times.

The Japanese were so rampant that they didn't even take the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment seriously.

Kong Jie took advantage of the Japanese army's arrogance and placed the battlefield for the final ambush of the 113th Regiment in a village that the Japanese army had to pass through.

As for the tunnel dug in the village, it was dug a long time ago.

When the independent regiment's anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Shouyang behind enemy lines was just established.

Kong Jie proposed to build a defense system for the independent regiment's base.

In addition to the layers of defense lines extending from the outer lines of the base to the core area.

Kong Jie also had the unique idea of ​​building tunnel fortifications as the core within the base.

Speaking of tunnel warfare extended from tunnel fortifications, it was first popularized and used on a large scale by the Eighth Route Army. It was during the May 1st mopping-up campaign that the Central Hebei Military Region came up with this tactic, taking into account the relatively open terrain and the lack of sufficient mountains like the Taihang Mountains to provide support.

At the moment, there is no precedent for the Eighth Route Army to use tunnel warfare on a large scale.

Kong Jie suggested that even in mountainous areas, tunnel and underground tactics could be combined, especially inside the major villages inside and outside the base area. Tunnels could be dug in advance, which could be used to store food and supplies and to assist the evacuation of civilians and militia at critical moments.

To this end, Kong Jie, standing on the shoulders of giants, also drew a special construction drawing for tunnel excavation.

This is not as simple as just digging a tunnel in the ground.

Instead, it is a huge project to dig out a different world underground.

Waterproof holes, fireproof openings, transfer passages, forward exits, troop hiding passages, as well as stable anti-aircraft and anti-artillery fortifications, etc.

Everything is available.

Just like the village that the 113th Regiment of the Japanese Army had just entered, from a distance it was just a backward and poor village with a small area and not many houses and earthen walls.

It seemed calm and peaceful, and not even a single ordinary person could be seen.

But in fact, under the ground, the underground passages built long ago by the Eighth Route Army soldiers were just like the passages built by earthworms underground, extending in all directions.

If the Japanese army had the ability to see below the ground, they would probably be stunned.

These hidden underground passages can ensure that the soldiers can avoid the enemy's artillery fire and hide in the underground passages.

After the Japanese entered the village, they used the passages leading to various places to move to the ground to ambush them.

The exit of each passage is extremely hidden; some are hidden in wells, some in pig pens, and some in cellars.

As for the Japanese, they wanted to dig into the tunnel.

Don't even think about it!

If the situation is not right, the soldiers will blow up the entrance of the tunnel as soon as possible.

Anyway, apart from the exit in front of them, there are multiple other exits in the tunnel, so it is impossible for the soldiers to be completely trapped in the tunnel.

Even if the Japanese army could get into the tunnel through the cave entrance, they would immediately get completely lost in the interconnected passages, and then be discovered and killed by the soldiers standing guard at the cave entrance node.

The Japanese soldiers from the 113th Regiment entered the tunnel through the entrance that the soldiers had not had time to blow up.

As a result, a Japanese squad of more than 30 soldiers all got into the tunnel.

The Japanese soldiers who were anxiously waiting outside the tunnel waited for a long time, but never saw any Japanese soldier crawling out.

There were gunshots coming from the cave.

The frightened Japanese officer in charge immediately ordered that no one was allowed to rashly enter the tunnel.

The soldiers made use of these hidden tunnels and secret passages to appear and disappear like ghosts, and to make the Japanese devils run around in circles.

After the main force of the Japanese army and the rear guard troops were disconnected.

The soldiers took the opportunity to drill out of the tunnel and built fortifications directly outside the village entrance, blocking the Japanese army in the village.

At the same time, Kong Jie's separate motor vehicle and cavalry units launched a surprise attack on the enemy's artillery and baggage units with lightning speed.

Although the Japanese rear-positioned artillery units have absolute artillery advantage.

But the soldiers' sneak attack came suddenly.

The mobile forces were mobilized again.

In just a few breaths, the two sides were completely connected.

The little devil completely lost the advantage of artillery attack.

Those Japanese soldiers who stayed behind in the artillery team in the rear were mostly professional artillery personnel, so they were no match for the fierce and ferocious fighters of the Independent Regiment.

After several charges back and forth, the cavalry soldiers directly broke through the Japanese defense line and dispersed their defensive formation.

Kong Jie ordered the installation of bulletproof steel plates around the eight military vehicles seized from the Japanese, so that the soldiers could advance quickly into battle.

After less than 20 minutes of fighting, the Japanese artillerymen who stayed behind to protect the artillery were completely defeated.

All kinds of artillery were basically seized by the soldiers.

Up to this point, the Japanese air fire support had not even had time to arrive.

In addition, during the development of the independent regiment, Kong Jie paid special attention to the development of some professional artillery talents and ordnance production talents.

They even used some of the equipment and supplies captured by the Independent Regiment to exchange for some professional artillery personnel from other regiments, including the brigade headquarters.

And set up corresponding artillery training classes within the independent regiment.

As long as the soldiers are interested and have a certain foundation, they can learn to transform from infantry to artillery.
