Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

In his joy, the deputy commander couldn't help but praise Kong Jie.

But then one of the cadres couldn't help but smiled and reminded: "Boss, the independent regiment did fight well in this battle, but I remember that in the Yangcun raid not long ago, a group of Japanese attacked the independent regiment, and the independent regiment suffered heavy casualties.

You were furious, calling the independent regiment a bunch of idiots, and even prepared to remove Kong Jie from his position as head of the independent regiment!"

"The Independent Regiment is made of yeast dough. Did I say that?"

The deputy commander asked back.

With the strength of an entire regiment, an entire field regiment of the Japanese army was completely wiped out. Moreover, not long ago, the independent regiment had also destroyed the Nanyuan Battalion of the Japanese army in the base area.

An independent regiment with such combat effectiveness.

Who dares to say that he is dough?

The cadre who spoke nodded.

The boss then remembered that this was indeed the case.

He did call the Independent Regiment a bunch of dough.

cough cough-

After clearing his throat, the boss changed the subject and said, "Even if I said that the independent regiment was made of dough, that was in the past. From now on, who dares to say that the independent regiment was made of dough?

In particular, our comrade Kong Jie is very good at learning and makes rapid progress.

After the humiliation of the Yangcun encounter, Comrade Kong Jie has known shame and then has become brave. Based on this, all our soldiers should learn from him. "

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

During this period of time, Kong Jie's progress has been witnessed by all the cadres at the headquarters, and they are even surprised by it.

In particular, the development of the independent regiment's base and the surge in combat effectiveness exceeded everyone's expectations time and time again.

It's simply a dark horse!

Next, let’s talk about the battle of Lijiaopo.

The deputy chief of general staff smiled and said: "Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment also fought well this time, and the New Second Regiment is a newly formed regiment, which was established not long ago.

We will use our newly formed regiment to destroy the Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese Army and see what the devils have to say."

"If the Japs want to launch another large-scale sweep, they will have to consider carefully whether they have the strength to do so!"

at this time.

On the Lijiaopo high ground, the soldiers were nearing completion of cleaning up the battlefield.

When the Japanese air force fire reinforcements arrived again, they could no longer find any Japanese troops alive on the high ground.

In desperation, the Japanese pilots carried out several rounds of high-altitude bombing on Lijiaopo Heights in retaliation.

Then he flew away dejectedly.

It’s just that the accuracy of the high-altitude bombing was too poor and it didn’t cause too many casualties to the soldiers.

As for low-altitude dive bombing, the Japanese were completely frightened, and even several planes were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army's hidden anti-aircraft firepower.

As for the direction of the independent regiment's base.

The battle is also coming to an end.

The remaining devils of the Japanese Army's 113th Regiment were completely wiped out by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New st Regiment.

In desperation, the old Japanese soldier Hei Teng pulled out the ivory command sword bestowed by the Emperor and launched a mad attack. As a result, he was hit by a shell and died on the spot, with even his body left incomplete.

Not long after, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, but Ding Wei didn't even look at the guns and ammunition left on the battlefield.

"Old Kong, consider it as a plea from me. We are old comrades, at least you can open my eyes. You have defeated the artillery and baggage troops in the rear of the devils, so you must have seized a lot of artillery!"

Ding Wei had also received intelligence long ago that the 113th Regiment of the Japanese Army was formerly an artillery field regiment and possessed a considerable number of artillery pieces.

The 113th Regiment would have been completely wiped out this time if it had not been for Kong Jie's arrangement, which used the roundabout infiltration of troops, as well as the rapid assault of cavalry and motor vehicles, to destroy the Japanese artillery team in advance.

It’s really hard to say who will win this battle!

Even if the Eighth Route Army could win, the inevitable casualties would certainly be huge.

Kong Jie was not stingy and took Ding Wei to visit all the barreled artillery that were seized when the 113th Regiment was destroyed.

These included 12 105mm howitzers, six 150mm large-caliber howitzers, plus a dozen Type 75 infantry guns and a batch of 37mm mountain guns and mm anti-tank guns of the Japanese artillery squadron.

There are more than 40 artillery pieces of various types.

Ding Wei's eyes turned red as he watched.

"Old Kong, even if we put all the artillery pieces of the other units of the Eighth Route Army together, I'm afraid they still can't match your generosity!"

There is nothing wrong with what you said.

The Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped, especially with a severe shortage of barreled artillery.

Even in the entire Taihang area, there is only one headquarters artillery regiment.

That's it, there aren't even a few artillery pieces, it's just a bluff, just to scare the Japanese.

Artillery shells were extremely scarce.

Just as when the Yamazaki Battalion attacked Lijiaopo, the independent regiment's four Type 92 infantry guns served as the main force of fire support.

As for the entire 386th Brigade, the artillery support under the brigade commander who always congratulates on his wealth is probably not as good as that of the four infantry guns!

only……

Kong Jie was neither happy nor unhappy after capturing such a large number of artillery pieces.

I am happy that the barreled artillery I have always dreamed of is finally available.

Now we have the confidence even if we have to face the Japanese field troops head-on.

The headache is that with so many barreled artillery pieces, the independent regiment may not be able to control them.

After all, according to the Eighth Route Army's military discipline, all captured goods must be turned over to the public.

With so many artillery pieces, who knows when the brigade commander will come to congratulate us on our prosperity?

And that's exactly what happened.

That evening, Kong Jie had just reorganized his troops and was resting at the regiment headquarters.

The old brigade commander called and said, "Kong Jie, congratulations on your fortune!"

Needless to say, the next step is...

Go through the whole process.

Although Kong Jie's situation was somewhat different from Li Yunlong's, he did not violate discipline too obviously.

However, the brigade commander still found various excuses that left Kong Jie speechless, forcing Kong Jie to hand over most of the captured artillery.

Especially those large-caliber artillery, such as 105mm and 150mm howitzers.

These artillery pieces are rather bulky and require a towing vehicle to move, so they are not suitable for combat in mountainous areas.

According to the equipment level of the Eighth Route Army's regular main combat forces.

A single independent regiment does not need to be equipped with such large-caliber artillery.

But in the final analysis, Kong Jie was the one who made the greatest contribution in capturing these artillery pieces.

The brigade commander cannot be too harsh on others. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass.

The robbery was too brutal. I won’t be able to face these old subordinates again in the future.

So the brigade commander cleared his throat and spoke from the bottom of his heart:

"Kong Jie, you have to understand the difficulties faced by our Eighth Route Army. The troops lack artillery. Not to mention our brigade headquarters, even the division headquarters and the headquarters do not have many artillery pieces.

If all these artillery pieces were handed over to your independent regiment, their power would be limited.

In order to fully unleash the power of these artillery pieces, they should be concentrated and distributed by the brigade for use.

Of course, your independent regiment won such a great victory, so rewards are inevitable. We in the Eighth Route Army are honest and clear about rewards and punishments.

So, bring all those large-caliber howitzers to me.

As for the Type 75 infantry gun, there is also a 37mm mountain gun including mm anti-tank shells.

You keep half of the independent group, and bring the rest over to me!"
