Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

It was the special forces of the independent regiment led by Wei Dayong who took advantage of the opportunity.

As early as last night, Wei Dayong led the special forces team to infiltrate all the way, avoiding the Japanese defense lines along the way. After arriving at Taiyuan City, they took advantage of the cover of night and used climbing ropes and flying claws to quietly avoid the Japanese guards on the city wall and infiltrate into Taiyuan City.

As the most important ancient city in the whole of Shanxi.

Taiyuan City is of paramount importance both in terms of military and economic value.

The ancient city wall surrounding the entire Taiyuan city is high and thick.

It was extremely difficult for conventional combat troops to break through the city defenses of Taiyuan using conventional siege tactics.

Even when the Japanese army captured the city of Taiyuan, it took them considerable effort.

However, this towering and solid city wall could not stop the special forces soldiers at all.

The soldiers used climbing ropes to easily climb over the seven or eight meter high city wall, hiding in Taiyuan City as if they were in an empty space, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Under the command of Wei Dayong.

The soldiers first spent two days scouting the area to find out the specific defense situation of the Japanese First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City.

It was finally discovered that as the base of the Japanese First Army, the defense of this devil headquarters was extremely strict.

If they wanted to break through the heavy guard of the Japanese army and raid the devil's headquarters, it would be impossible for the dozens of special forces team to do it.

Even if we can get in, there is no guarantee of safe evacuation.

In the end, Wei Dayong decided to bombard the Japanese headquarters.

According to Kong Jie's instructions before departure, this decapitation operation strives to be successful, but there is a prerequisite, which is to ensure the safe evacuation of the special forces.

Even if we cannot completely decapitate the Japanese headquarters, we can kill the old Japanese Yoshio Shinozuka and a group of senior officers of the Japanese First Army.

As long as we can successfully strike the Japanese headquarters command system.

This is a strategic deterrent, enough to scare the Japanese.

"Here, here, here..."

In a dilapidated temple in a remote area of ​​Taiyuan City, Wei Dayong gathered the special forces members and spread out a defense map, which showed the approximate troop deployment of the Japanese headquarters based on the exploration in the past few days.

Wei Dayong pointed out: "The Japanese headquarters is heavily guarded by the Japanese. It is not realistic for us to break through by force, so we can only use the artillery we carry to carry out long-range artillery bombardment.

In the past few days, we have almost figured out the internal construction of the Japanese headquarters, including the specific locations of the Japanese combat department, general staff and commander's headquarters.

After the shelling began, the buildings where the Japanese general staff and operations departments were located were bombarded fiercely.

As for how many Japanese soldiers will be killed in the end, that all depends on God's will.

When the time comes, evacuate immediately according to the original plan along the established evacuation route."

……

Boom——

The sudden explosion under the cover of night woke up the Japanese headquarters and the people within a few miles around.

Since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War and the fall of Taiyuan, the Japanese occupied the city of Taiyuan and built the entire city of Taiyuan like an iron barrel, and no Chinese army has ever fought back.

Not to mention the shelling that occurred on the Japanese headquarters tonight.

The awakened people started to watch the excitement.

While being surprised at the strength of the armed forces that had launched a surprise attack on the Japanese headquarters, he secretly prayed that all the old Japanese in the headquarters could be blown to death.

During the bombardment, Yoshio Shinozuka retreated in a panic into the air defense fortifications built by the headquarters. Although he was not injured by the shells, his arm was injured by the collapsed building on the way.

As the commander of the First Army.

This is simply a shame!

However, for the Japanese army, the bad situation had just begun.

It was at the same time that the Japanese First Army Headquarters was bombarded.

Regarding the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

With the addition of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments, the entire battle situation reversed, and the casualties of the Japanese 39th Mixed Brigade, which had been advancing rapidly, increased rapidly.

After losing more than 3000 men in the ambush.

The Japanese vanguard retreated in a panic.

According to the Eighth Route Army's consistent guerrilla strategy, when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

How could it be so easy for the badly damaged Japanese soldiers to escape?

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei had been waiting for this moment of counterattack. As the Japanese army retreated, the three of them immediately issued orders and blew the horn of counterattack.

The soldiers attacked quickly, using the tunnel fortifications secretly built in the base area and their elusive detours to cut off the enemy's retreat.

In the haste, the Japanese artillery and baggage troops, which were originally well defended by the rear guard troops, became disconnected from the rear guard troops.

After successfully defeating the Japanese battlefield observation group through a roundabout operation, the company commander led the helmeted soldiers of the independent regiment to hide in the rear of the devils and wait for the opportunity to fight.

Hard work pays off, and we finally waited for the Japanese army's rear artillery and logistics troops.

"beat!"

The company commander was not polite at all.

After leading the elite steel helmet soldiers to make a quick detour, he suddenly launched a swift attack on the artillery and logistics troops at the rear of the Japanese 3rd Mixed Brigade.

The soldiers appeared quite suddenly, and as soon as they were exposed, they used the various mortars they carried to bombard the Japanese artillery and baggage troops.

The sound of artillery fire had hardly ended when the coordinated infantry rushed down from the high ambush position like a tide. Before the smoke covering the Japanese army had dissipated, they had completely engaged the enemy's artillery, baggage troops, and short-range weapons.

The large-caliber artillery carried by the Japanese artillery team completely lost its power.

The elite steel-helmeted soldiers of the independent regiment demonstrated combat effectiveness far exceeding that of the regular combat forces of the Eighth Route Army in this battle.

Relying on the additional enhanced firepower configuration within the steel helmet soldiers.

In squad and platoon level combat units, the steel helmet soldiers have more machine guns, mortars, and even rifle grenades, submachine guns and sniper rifles.

Whether it was close-range fire exchanges or long-range artillery strikes, the Japanese army was completely suppressed.

Even the Japanese's elite infantry were no match for the steel-helmeted soldiers of equal strength, not to mention the Japanese artillery and baggage troops who stayed behind.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted less than half an hour and was nearing its end. Most of the artillery and baggage troops left behind by the Japanese army were artillery.

There were about a few hundred Japanese devils.

However, under the rapid attack of the helmeted soldiers of the independent regiment, they did not even have time to stand firm before their defense line was completely breached.

The two sides strangled each other.

The panicked Japanese immediately requested reinforcements from the central army command.

Upon learning that the artillery and baggage train had come under attack, Major General Kurokawa was also shocked and quickly dispatched the central army to support the artillery.

The Japanese never expected that the Eighth Route Army that attacked the artillery team would be so powerful.

In less than half an hour, the battle on the artillery side was almost over.

The first Japanese field battalion to arrive at the place for reinforcements looked up and saw that the Japanese soldiers in the artillery and baggage train had basically suffered all their casualties.

The Eighth Route Army was quickly cleaning up the battlefield, dragging artillery and various baggage supplies.

The Japanese captain was frightened and then became furious. He immediately ordered his soldiers to launch an attack to retrieve the artillery and supplies.

After just experiencing a fierce battle, in which they killed hundreds of Japanese steel-helmeted soldiers, they quickly turned their guns and started fighting with the reinforcements of the Japanese field battalion.

——Originally, the soldiers could have evacuated calmly after the Japanese reinforcements arrived, but no one was willing to part with the captured artillery and supplies.

So according to the deployment of the company commander, we launched a blocking attack to cover the soldiers in transferring this batch of equipment and supplies.

Another company commander actually wanted to give it a try.

If the troop forces are of the same size, the steel helmet soldiers can completely crush the elite Japanese infantry.

So, the Japanese have more soldiers than the steel helmet soldiers.

How will the battle situation be?

Just now, the company commander quickly checked the strength of the Japanese troops coming back to support the Japanese army. There were about a battalion of troops, more than 1000 Japanese devils, which was more than twice the number of the steel helmet soldiers.

The two sides started fighting in this mountainous environment, and it could almost be said that they were in a face-to-face confrontation.

The Japanese army arrived in a hurry, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade lost its artillery team, so the Japanese army did not have artillery advantages, such as the Type 92 infantry gun and the Type 41 regimental gun.

On the side of the steel helmet soldiers, the soldiers quickly covered the various artillery pieces and transferred the baggage, so there was no plan to use these artillery pieces.

The two sides were in a contest between two lightly armed forces.

The battle is about to break out.

The Japanese captain naturally realized that the number of the Eighth Route Army troops who attacked the artillery team was not too large. According to his original understanding, he was preparing to rely on his absolute equipment advantage to crush them in one breath and take back the lost artillery and supplies.

As a result, the enemy's Eighth Route Army helmeted soldiers opened fire.

The old devil was completely stunned.

Both sides were fighting machine guns against machine guns and artillery against artillery, but it was obvious that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have more light machine guns than the Japanese. Their various artillery pieces were accurate and had a long range, and their performance in all aspects crushed the Type 89 grenade launcher, the only thing the Japanese relied on.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army had many new weapons, such as grenade launchers.

For example, there is a heartless cannon whose barrel is thicker than the waist.

Even the conventional infantry, the enemy's Eighth Route Army seemed to be equipped with all Type 38 rifles, which were the same as the Japanese Army's Type 38 standard rifles.

This is completely different from the Japanese army's perception of the Eighth Route Army, which was poorly equipped and even had a mixture of various Hanyang-made rifles with old cartridges.

Including in terms of marksmanship, the marksmanship displayed by these elite Eighth Route Army soldiers was no worse than that of the Japanese devils.

At a distance of one or two hundred meters, you can basically hit the target just by raising your gun.

With such marksmanship, he must be an elite soldier in the army and has undergone a lot of shooting training.

Even among the Japanese army, only veterans with rich combat experience and sufficient training could reach this level.

After such a brief confrontation for ten minutes.

The Japanese battalion that came to support suffered more than 100 casualties. The captain of the devil's battalion had no idea how many casualties the enemy's Eighth Route Army had suffered. He only knew that he had no ability to stop the enemy and had to watch helplessly as the Eighth Route Army successfully transferred their artillery and baggage.

They retreated into the forest in front of him and soon disappeared.

For a moment, the Japanese captain even lost the courage to continue the pursuit.

Until a new field brigade came to reinforce.

The Japanese soldiers then mustered up the courage to continue the pursuit, trying to find the Eighth Route Army that had ambushed the artillery team.

But what surprised them was that these Eighth Route Army troops, who were clearly carrying heavy equipment such as artillery and baggage, which should have slowed down their speed, had completely disappeared.

Along with the lost artillery and baggage, they were also nowhere to be found.

It's like it evaporated in this mountain.

Upon hearing the news, Major General Kurokawa felt very depressed. The loss of the artillery team and baggage made him lose all his fighting spirit.

The artillery advantage that his Independent 3rd Mixed Brigade relied on had been completely lost. What else could he use to fight the Eighth Route Army?

Major General Kurokawa was completely desperate and did not even bother to retrieve the lost artillery and supplies. He considered it good enough to be able to escape from the independent regiment's base.

He immediately issued an order to move quickly to the rear without even having time to notify the headquarters of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Sold out teammates directly.

At the headquarters of the 9th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, the old devil Fujiwara realized that the main forces of the Eighth Route Army had all pressed forward, and then he suddenly realized that his teammate the 3rd Mixed Brigade seemed to be gone.

Then we learned that the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade had already retreated completely.

Fujiwara couldn't help but scold Kurokawa for being an idiot and being disloyal.

He ran away without even telling me.

He immediately gave the order to move in.

The Japs fled all the way, which was almost rare for the Japanese army. Even on the front battlefield, when the Japanese army was defeated, the retreat was often calm and orderly. They would never suffer a major collapse during the retreat like the National Army.

However, at this moment, the Japanese soldiers wished they had eight legs.

Faced with the Eighth Route Army's frenzied pursuit, they had no time to care about the retreat formation. They left behind a few rearguard troops to hastily block the enemy and delay time, while the main force of the central army withdrew from the independent regiment's base without looking back.

In the end, there were only a few rearguard troops left to cover the retreat, about five or six hundred Japanese soldiers, who were completely trapped in the independent regiment's base and fell into an encirclement.

By dark, they were completely cleared out.

At this point, the Japanese army's raid on the independent regiment's base was met with a disastrous defeat.

As if to vent their anger, the Japanese army, relying on their air force firepower advantage, dispatched more than 20 fighter planes to bombard the independent regiment's base.

Then he left with a roar.

Not long after, Major General Kurokawa and Major General Fujiwara, who were leading their troops in a panic escape, learned the news.

Just as they were fighting with the independent regiment, the headquarters was unexpectedly attacked, various buildings collapsed, and many related staff and officers suffered casualties.

Commander Yoshio Shinozuka was almost killed in the artillery fire.

Kurokawa and Fujiwara were shocked for a long time.

Then we come to a conclusion:

If the enemy who attacked the headquarters has any connection with the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, this Eighth Route Army unit is truly terrifying!

The most depressed person was Yamamoto Ikki.

Colonel Yamamoto's decapitation operation failed miserably. Only a dozen elite members of the No. 80 Special Forces were left dead. They fled back in a panic, only to learn that their headquarters had suffered a surprise attack by a small enemy combat unit.

What do you mean?

Their Yamamoto special forces team failed to decapitate the independent regiment headquarters.

But the enemy almost succeeded in decapitating his First Army Command!
