Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese First Army moved with great momentum.

In particular, the uninformed Japanese officers under the First Army thought that the news that the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army had seized the flag of the 113th Regiment was true.

Out of respect for the squadron flag.

Those Japanese officers were united in hatred of the enemy and filled with righteous indignation. They clamored to completely destroy the Independent Regiment, raze the Independent Regiment's base to the ground, and take back the regimental flag bestowed by the Emperor.

"That is the flag bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. It represents the glory and dignity of the Imperial Japanese Army. How can we allow the Chinese army to interfere?"

"Kill the independent regiment and take back the regiment flag!"

The Japanese soldiers roared wildly and were more united than ever before. A large number of troops attacked the base of the independent regiment directly, and there was no need for the commander Yoshio Shinozuka to carry out any unnecessary pre-war mobilization.

This is exactly what Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to achieve. Using the hatred aroused by the regimental flag was the most effective pre-war mobilization for the Japanese army.

These little devils, from officers to ordinary soldiers, would spontaneously fight bravely out of military honor to regain the regiment flag, even to the death.

Yoshio Shinozuka is also very confident about this.

His eyes were fixed on the troop deployment map for this time.

The main forces of the Japanese army were mobilized one after another to launch sieges from multiple directions on the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Among them, two fully-strength field regiments of the Japanese Army, which belonged to the Japanese Army's Independent 3rd Mixed Brigade, advanced toward the independent regiment's base from the north of Shouyang area.

There was a Japanese field regiment advancing from the east and west respectively.

These two regiments were the independent 9th Mixed Brigade belonging to the combat sequence of the Japanese First Army.

These two independent mixed brigades are two of the only few independent mixed brigades under the First Army's combat sequence.

The team is composed of multiple arms and can adapt to various complex combat needs and combat environments. It is the backbone of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi's large-scale mopping-up operation against the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas.

The several major divisions under the Japanese First Army, such as the 20th Division, the 36th Division, the 37th Division and the 108th Division, are mainly responsible for dealing with battles on the front battlefield.

For the time being, the main force will not be withdrawn to provide support just because of a small Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

However, the Japanese army's two independent mixed brigades had a total of four fully-staffed field regiments.

This size of force is no less than that of a Japanese field division.

There are more than 100 soldiers in total.

Together with the security forces in various places, the puppet troops that cooperated in combat, the puppet army guards and the traitors, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops exceeded 20,000.

This was enough for the Japanese army to launch a large-scale sweep in the occupied area.

However, this time, the mighty Japanese and puppet troops only came for the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

When the overwhelming news spread rapidly under the deliberate instigation of the Japanese army.

It was learned that in order to retrieve the lost regiment flag, the Japanese army even mobilized more than an entire division to attack a small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

The Jinsui Army in western Shanxi, some Nationalist Army troops in southern Shanxi, and the Central Army troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain base were all shocked.

Many officers were so frightened that they secretly made up their minds that in future battles with the Japanese army, they would never easily seize the devil's regimental flag.

The consequences are horrible.

What awaited them was the devil's relentless revenge.

More than an entire division's worth of troops were used just to destroy a small independent regiment.

I'm afraid that the poor number of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will disappear from history.

at this time.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Through the military-civilian cooperation and the radio intelligence network, it was quickly learned that the Japanese army was dispatched to encircle the independent regiment's base. Four field companies were mobilized, with a strength exceeding that of a division, totaling more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

Kong Jie was obviously stunned for a moment.

Then, he couldn't help laughing.

"This damned little Japanese really thinks highly of me, Kong Jie, and our independent regiment!

This time, our regiment used a small regiment flag to attract such crazy revenge from the Japanese army. Although it sounds scary, think about it again. If our independent regiment can stop the large-scale attack of the Japanese army this time, I wonder who will dare to ask our independent regiment to make dough from now on? "

On the other side, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei heard that the Japanese army had deployed heavy troops to attack the independent regiment, so they quickly rushed to the headquarters of the independent regiment and met Kong Jie through the secret passages connecting the three regiments.

When they met, neither of the two old comrades felt worried about the heavy Japanese troops approaching.

Instead, he looked excited.

Especially Li Yunlong, who was afraid of chaos in the world, laughed so hard that his eyes almost disappeared.

As soon as they met, he could not help but praise: "Old Kong, Old Kong, you are really amazing. You really used a tattered flag to attract the Japanese army.

I heard that there were four Japanese field regiments, with more than a division's strength, and the total strength of the Japanese puppet troops was more than 20,000. Haha, this time, Lao Li can kill them to his heart's content! "

Ding Wei was more pragmatic and immediately began to analyze the battle situation: "The combined strength of our three regiments is less than 8000 people, while the Japanese puppet army has more than troops, more than twice our strength.

It seems like a lot more than us.

However, we have fully built base defense fortifications, plus the iron triangle defense system formed by three regiments. We can share our resources with each other, so we are not necessarily afraid of the Japanese.

Moreover, once the battle begins, as long as our three regiments can withstand the Japanese attack, it won’t take too long, perhaps half a day, for the reinforcements from our Taihang base to arrive.

By then, the Japanese won’t be able to annihilate your independent regiment, and it’s still unclear whether you can escape from our base unscathed! ”

Ding Wei is very confident about this.

The reason couldn't be more real.

Today, the regiment’s equipment has been further developed, with machine guns, cannons, and even directional anti-personnel mines reinforced by Kong Jie.

If the gun is strong, the waist will naturally be strong as well.

Do you still think that it was a few years ago when the Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped and ammunition was extremely scarce, and the Japanese Sakata Regiment could run rampant in the base?

Li Yunlong was even more confident, "If our New Second Regiment runs into that damned Sakata regiment again, I will be able to do more than just destroy his regiment headquarters.

It may not be impossible to defeat the Sakata regiment head-on! "

To despise the opponent strategically and to face the opponent tactically has always been the principle of the Eighth Route Army.

The three old comrades chatted for a while and then showed contempt for the Japanese.

Then let's get down to business and discuss how to defend.

The main battlefield is naturally the independent regiment base.

The New 1st and New 2nd Regiments secretly assisted in the reinforcement through hidden transportation channels...
