Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"Is it true that the Eighth Route Army successfully bombarded the First Army Headquarters?"

Faced with the questioning of a major general, Yoshio Shinozuka's old face was as embarrassed as a purple eggplant.

Yamamoto Ikki could only nod obediently, his expression equally grim. Their First Army once again became the laughing stock of the entire conference room.

Then, another officer laughed mercilessly, "This time, General Shinozuka specially communicated with our various armies and formed a battlefield observation group.

In fact, we all know what the purpose is.

It is to show our officers from all fronts the power of your special operations."

His words became sharp and pointed.

"Yes, it was indeed very powerful. The entire team was almost wiped out. You guys really put on a good show.

As for whether the charm of special operations can be applied to the land force combat system, or even to reform the land force's old traditional combat mode, maybe we have to learn from the special operations forces of the Eighth Route Army!

The Eighth Route Army special operations forces were able to infiltrate the heavily guarded city of Taiyuan and the First Army Headquarters, which was under layers of defense, and successfully carried out a decapitation operation and bombarded the headquarters.

Although Mr. Shinozuka is still sitting here, I heard that the casualties in the headquarters were not small, and even several senior officers died on the spot.

With the Eighth Route Army's background and equipment level, the decapitation operations they carried out could actually directly threaten our army's headquarters.

what does this mean?

Does this mean that they can use special operations decapitation operations to destroy our military command structures at all levels at any time? "

"In this case, it is necessary for the Imperial Army to pay attention to the new tactic of special operations!"

Yamamoto: "..."

The old devil suddenly wanted to cry. He graduated from the Imperial Military Academy.

He has never been interested in large-scale troop operations and has devoted almost all of his life's energy and enthusiasm to the emerging military field of special operations.

He was determined to introduce special operations into the ground combat model combined with the traditional Japanese Army.

A guerrilla war to target the Eighth Route Army.

It can also cooperate with the main force to seize the initiative in the frontal battlefield confrontation with the national army.

But in the end, they did not get what they wanted, and now these army officers are proposing to attach importance to special operations because their opponents, the Eighth Route Army, successfully beheaded the First Army Command.

What an irony and shame.

At this moment, Colonel Yamamoto wished he could find a hole to crawl into, he was too embarrassed to face anyone.

No matter how we look at it, the Japanese army has finally begun to pay attention to the emerging military field of special operations.

Colonel Yamamoto has to thank Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and others!

……

On the other side, the independent regiment base.

After Wei Dayong led the special forces team to successfully behead the Japanese First Army Command, he led the team members to evacuate all the way and successfully returned to the base along the established route.

It was learned that the special forces had successfully bombarded the Japanese headquarters and destroyed a large number of buildings, and the Japanese must have suffered heavy casualties.

Kong Jie couldn't help but applaud.

Li Yunlong cheered even louder.

Ding Wei exclaimed: "Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese army has never recovered lost territory on a large scale, and has never been able to directly shake the Japanese army's rear headquarters.

Our Eighth Route Army has accomplished a great feat!

What a special operations!

Directly behead the Japanese headquarters. From now on, the Japanese will be in fear and can't even sleep well. "

With the withdrawal of the main forces of the Japanese 3rd and 9th Mixed Brigades, the battle quickly came to an end and the Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

At the moment, everyone gathered in the courtyard of the independent regiment's headquarters, and three old regiment commanders, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, served as representatives to hold a post-war summary meeting on the anti-mopping-up operation.

This is an old tradition of the Eighth Route Army.

After each battle, a post-war summary meeting will be held to summarize the pre-war preparations, in-battle deployments, gains and losses, experiences and lessons learned during the battle, etc.

To further improve the command level of commanders at all levels and enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone presented their inspiring results.

The staff officer held a data in his hand and reported: "Comrades, this battle should be considered a large-scale battle in terms of scale.

We have achieved unprecedented victory.

By the time the battle was over, more than 5000 Japanese troops and more than 1000 puppet troops were killed, and more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops were captured.

At this point, the staff officer's words became excited.

"Do you know what this data means? Even in some large-scale battles on the front battlefield, it is rare to destroy such a large number of elite Japanese troops.

And our Eighth Route Army did it, and with just our three regiments, we killed more than 5000 elite Japanese soldiers, which is equivalent to directly destroying a field brigade of the Japanese army! "

clap clap clap-

As soon as the words were spoken, thunderous applause rang out in the conference room.

All the cadres attending the meeting had happy expressions on their faces, and the atmosphere of the entire meeting was immediately livened up.

Everyone was discussing the tactical coordination of the various regiments and the amazing results they achieved.

The Independent Regiment first showed weakness to the enemy and lured the enemy into deep, thus completely attracting the Japanese army's vanguard troops into the ambush circle. Then the main forces of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments suddenly descended from the sky through a concealed transport channel.

"The Japanese were stunned. They probably never dreamed that our three regiments would work together and have already built a solid iron triangle defense system!"

Li Yunlong talked about the unscrupulous cannons specially made by Kong Jie, especially the gas tank cannon, and praised them highly.

"Damn it, if we had this kind of magic weapon a few years ago, would we still be afraid of the Japanese?

Old Kong, you are really amazing. You can even imagine the losses of this new type of artillery.

One after another, explosive packs, including gas tanks filled with gas, were thrown from a distance and exploded with a loud bang. The Japanese soldiers were blown apart like dough.

I, Old Li, have never had such a satisfying battle in my life!

Watching the devils being swiftly wiped out was like seeing mud being molded.”

"That's for sure. Later, Old Kong, you must teach Old Li the production process of the conscienceless cannon and the gas tank cannon. I will also build a production base in our New Second Regiment."

There is no doubt that the Independence Group became the focus of this meeting.

Kong Jie was naturally the protagonist of the entire meeting.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically the usefulness of the conscienceless cannon and the gas tank cannon in anti-mopping-up ambush warfare.

"With these new artillery shells, if the Japanese launch a large-scale sweep against our base, taking advantage of the favorable terrain and topography of the mountainous area, will we still be afraid of them?"

"By the way, the specially made steel helmet soldiers you guys created this time are absolutely amazing!"

In this regard, the company commander reported the battle performance of the steel helmet soldiers.

First, they infiltrated in a roundabout way, defeated the Japanese battlefield observation group, and eliminated more than 100 Japanese officers.

When a company commander piled a large number of collar badges representing Japanese military ranks on the table, there were a lot of ranks at the level of major general, and even a major general.

This means that the Japanese battlefield observation group was wiped out and more than 100 Japanese officers, including those at the rank of major general, were all killed.

Such a large number of officers were destroyed.

This was probably the first time for the Japanese army.

The Japanese suffered heavy losses.

As for the combat effectiveness of the elite steel helmet soldiers, the company commander used actual data to speak:

"In less than half an hour, we launched a rapid attack and directly destroyed the artillery and logistics units at the rear of the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade.

More than 400 Japanese soldiers were killed, while our steel-helmeted soldiers suffered less than 30 casualties.

Afterwards, more than 1000 Japanese soldiers from a field battalion quickly came to reinforce us. We relied on the mountainous terrain to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army has more than twice as many troops as ours.

After about ten minutes of fierce fighting, we killed at least 100 Japanese devils.

Our soldiers suffered six casualties, and then quickly evacuated the battlefield with the successfully transferred artillery and supplies.

If we were not considering that we are in the rear of the Japanese, and that the Japanese may have new reinforcements arriving at any time, we would even dare to confront the Japanese army face to face! "

This is the strength of the elite steel-helmeted soldiers of the Eighth Route Army that Kong Jie specifically proposed to create.

The company commander was deeply touched by this:

"In the past, when we were fighting against the Japanese, our troops were short of equipment. Not to mention all kinds of artillery, there were not even many machine guns.

As soon as the battle started, the Japanese machine gun firepower and grenade launcher firepower, with an equal number of troops, completely overwhelmed us.

Our few machine guns had just opened fire and were knocked out by the Japanese with grenade launchers and artillery shells in the blink of an eye.

We hid behind the bunkers, without even exposing our heads, and were still bombarded by the Japanese army's indirect fire, with casualties increasing rapidly.

Before they even met, a large number of soldiers had already sacrificed their lives.

How do you fight this kind of battle?"

"But this time is completely different from the past. After our steel helmet soldiers encountered the Japanese directly, we fought at the squad and platoon level.

Our firepower configuration completely crushed the Japanese devils.

The Japs had machine guns, but we had more of them, and we also had some 2x scopes installed, which made our shots more accurate.

The Japanese have grenade launchers, but we also have modified 50mm cannons and 60mm mortars, which are superior to them in both range and accuracy.

For close-range fire support, in addition to hand grenades, we also have grenade launchers and unscrupulous cannons.

Feng Shui turns.

What can those Japanese devils use to fight us?

The final actual results showed that under the circumstances of equal troop size, even in a face-to-face confrontation, our elite steel helmet soldiers could completely crush the Japanese army.

Even if the Japanese have more troops than us, we can still retreat calmly.

For example, this time we dealt with the Japanese field brigade! "

These words were spoken with great pride, and the commanders present at the meeting were somewhat stunned.

Kong Jie added: "We have always faced the elite troops of the Japanese army, especially the equipment and artillery advantages of the devils. We simply do not have the strength to confront the devils head-on.

But I want to build an iron army.

Elite combat troops capable of engaging the Japanese army head-on are definitely indispensable. They are the tip of the knife of our entire army, a sharp tip that is enough to tear the Japanese army apart.

So I proposed to build firepower configuration, including soldier quality, to crush the Japanese steel helmet soldiers in all aspects.

Moreover, I believe that in the future the coverage rate of steel helmet soldiers will become a standardized reflection of whether our Eighth Route Army combat regiments are strong in combat effectiveness and well-equipped.

Just think about it, our independent regiment now has only 500 steel-helmeted soldiers, but we can achieve such fruitful results.

If one day, all the nearly 4000 people in my independent regiment were trained into such complete elite steel helmet soldiers.

What kind of combat effectiveness will it show?"

When these words were spoken, all the participants were stunned. Just thinking about it, they couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.

Li Yunlong even said: "Damn it, if it really comes to that, Lao Kong, if you pull out your independent regiment, even if it's a face-to-face positional battle, I'm afraid your regiment can fight against a division of the devils!"

One regiment of the Eighth Route Army fought against an entire division of the Japanese Army!

My goodness, if this were to be told to anyone, anyone who heard it would probably think it was a fantasy.

The cadres who attended the meeting really dared to speak out and think.

Kong Jie's words were very proud:

"The Japanese have always been arrogant. The Japanese regiments that are equivalent to our regimental combat units, such as the elite Sakata Regiment, were once known as the ace.

It even defeated two divisions of the Central Army head-on in the Battle of Xinkou.

The Japanese field division is actually equivalent to the division-level combat unit of our Chinese army.

Doesn't this mean that the Japanese army can defeat two divisions of our Chinese army with the strength of one regiment?

Then why can't a regiment of our Eighth Route Army defeat a division of the Japanese Army?

Just because our national strength is weak, and because the Japanese had been rampant for a long time with their superior equipment when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, should we admit that our combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Japanese?"

"No, never!"

"From now on, we must completely reverse and break this inherent mindset.

From now on, we, the Eighth Route Army, must let the devils know that we can still defeat them comprehensively even if we have the same number of troops, or even fewer than them!"

"Because of what?

Because we have elite steel helmet soldiers!"

Infected by the passionate words.

Li Yunlong immediately stated: "No more words, Lao Kong, when I return to the New Second Regiment, I will immediately concentrate all the resources of the regiment to build elite steel helmet soldiers belonging to our New Second Regiment.

Cough cough--

By the way, Lao Kong, our New Second Regiment has helped you so much this time, you should at least give me some benefits, and get me more machine guns, ammunition, artillery and so on, including the steel helmets for the steel helmet soldiers, otherwise where can I get these steel helmet soldiers to make?"

Ding Wei quickly said, not wanting to be outdone: "Hey, what a coincidence, I don't want much, just the same as Lao Li's!"

Kong Jie naturally wouldn't be stingy about this.

Today, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle work together to build triangular defensive fortifications.

The increase in the strength of the New 1st and 2nd Regiments means the enhancement of the overall triangular defense system.

What's more, we are old comrades.

This time, the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments really helped a lot.

Although the 5000rd and th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army were not completely destroyed, more than Japanese soldiers were finally eliminated. During the Japanese soldiers' escape, many guns, ammunition, and abandoned heavy machine guns, artillery, etc. were not destroyed in time.

Therefore, the spoils were quite substantial...
