Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Yoshio Shinozuka understood Yamamoto's feelings very well. Wasn't it the same anger he felt towards the Eighth Route Army at this moment?

However, all of the more than 80 elite members of Yamamoto's special forces were defeated by the independent regiment and by Kong Jie.

Now there is only captain Yamamoto Ikki and a dozen elite Japanese special forces left.

"Given the current situation of your special forces, can you still cooperate with the main force of the mopping-up operation and carry out a decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army?"

Yamamoto nodded. All he wanted now was revenge on the Eighth Route Army.

“Please rest assured, General. I have already selected the best fighters from the entire army and have given them the most rigorous special training. There are still a few months before the final sweep, which is enough time for them to grow.

Even if they are not as good as the elite special forces I led in the past, they are definitely not much worse.

At present, the strength of our special forces has recovered to more than 100 people.

If we cooperate with the main mopping-up force to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army base, we can use our army's latest radio lateral positioning technology to locate infiltration.

In addition, there are some infiltration troops and punitive troops that I specially prepared for the Eighth Route Army, including some bandit armed forces that our army has incorporated.

The Eighth Route Army base was completely turned into a mess.

Our special forces team will have an opportunity to take advantage of.

If all goes well, it is very likely that the Eighth Route Army's front-line headquarters will be completely destroyed.

To relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded. He understood Yamamoto's feelings very well and finally agreed to his battle plan.

There are still several months left before the May 5st scheduled operation date for the May 1st cleanup campaign.

Shinozuka Yoshio specifically asked:

"Then before that, Yamamoto-kun, you should continue to strengthen the collection of intelligence, strengthen the training of the troops, and make good preparations before the war!

I hope that in the battles to come, your Yamamoto Special Forces can avenge their previous defeat and restore the glory of our First Army's special operations!"

"Hey, Yamamoto will never let down the general's expectations!" Colonel Yamamoto responded confidently.

But in the final analysis, the one that made Colonel Yamamoto so hateful should actually be the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and its commander Kong Jie.

This old devil only carried out a decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

However, there was no decapitation operation carried out against the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Don't listen to his perfect excuse: "Compared with the Eighth Route Army's front-line headquarters, the Eighth Route Army's small regimental headquarters is not worth mentioning at all."

In fact, it was just that the old Japanese Yamamoto was a little afraid of Kong Jie.

After several fights, Yamamoto was completely defeated by Kong Jie.

In a trance, he even felt that when fighting with Kong Jie, all his thoughts and plans were completely seen through by the other party.

Especially the decapitation operation against the independent regiment headquarters not long ago.

Yamamoto's special forces team suffered a crushing defeat, and only a dozen members survived under the artillery fire of the independent regiment soldiers.

The independent regiment's base became a nightmare for almost all the Japanese soldiers in Yamamoto's special forces.

Although Yamamoto was reluctant to admit it, he understood that the independent regiment's base had specially built an anti-infiltration system to target small infiltration forces.

Their special forces team simply does not have the strength to carry out a decapitation operation against the independent regiment's headquarters.

The only thing we can do is shift the target.

A surprise attack was launched on the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

This time, the old devil Yamamoto even received a military order directly. If the decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army headquarters could not be completed, he was willing to be dealt with by military law.

……

Undercurrent surges.

the other side.

The base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Kong Jie certainly knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the May 1st sweep launched by the Japanese army in retaliation for the Hundred Regiments Campaign launched against the Eighth Route Army would eventually break out.

There isn't much time left for him.

So Kong Jie handed over some of the work in the regiment that did not require him to do himself to the battalion commanders and political instructors.

He devoted all his energy to the production of the independent regiment's small arsenal.

At the production capacity decision meeting for the Arsenal.

Kong Jie clearly stated: "In order to produce equipment as much as possible before the Japanese army launches a retaliatory sweep, we should improve the equipment level and combat effectiveness of our entire regiment.

Comrades, you may have to work harder during this period.

I will send more people to help in the arsenal, and try to have them work in shifts, day and night, to increase production capacity.

As long as the machine doesn't break down, we'll work hard.

We will put all the various production materials we have accumulated during this period of time to good use and produce them all into corresponding equipment and ammunition."

As for the types of products produced.

Kong Jie pointed out: "We should focus on producing some equipment that is most practical and has a relatively simple production process to deal with the Japanese army's anti-raid operations.

For example, there is no conscience.

For example, wooden-handled grenades.

There are also the essential directional anti-personnel mines.

These are all excellent weapons for us to use the environment of our base to deal with the Japanese invaders."

In addition, Kong Jie even used the system to work personally in the arsenal, specially modifying some armored vehicles, cars, motorcycles, etc. captured from the Japanese army.

Build mechanized combat vehicles.

In addition, Kong Jie proposed an improvement plan for some larger-caliber bulky artillery - self-propelled artillery.

"To be precise, the chassis of the artillery can be fixed on a mechanized combat vehicle to form a vehicle-mounted artillery, so that the entire artillery has firepower strength and the mobility of rapid transfer."

"This will be one of the improvement modes for our artillery in the future improvement and development of mechanized combat forces."

It’s just a pity that although the Japanese army mobilized a large number of troops in the large-scale mopping-up operations against the Independent Regiment, they did not use any tanks.

At most, there are some Type 91 armored vehicles.

Therefore, the independent regiment did not capture the Japanese tanks.

There is no hope of building a mechanized combat force with tanks for the time being.

However, using the system, it is impossible to use the limited materials to build a tank with stable performance and strong combat effectiveness.

Make bricks without straw.

That's too outrageous.

However, Kong Jie believed that once the Japanese army launched a large-scale mopping-up operation, they would definitely use armored vehicles, including some tanks.

For example, the Japanese army's light tanks, and even the Type 89 medium tank and the Type 89 modified medium tank.

Then, anti-tank combat must be one of the important skills that the troops must master.

Kong Jie was not worried about this at all, because the anti-tank combat unit of the independent regiment had anti-tank rocket launchers specially produced by the arsenal under the guidance of Kong Jie.

This anti-tank rocket launcher is powerful and has strong armor-piercing capabilities, while also giving soldiers individual anti-tank combat capabilities.

The tanks used by the Japanese during this period were mainly light tanks and fragile tanks.

Ordinary caliber artillery can directly tear apart the Japanese tanks.

The armor-piercing shells of the anti-tank rocket launcher can definitely destroy the Japanese tanks directly.

This was a surprise left for the Japs, a secret weapon to deal with Japanese tanks.

In addition, the most basic guns, ammunition and small-caliber artillery are produced to provide the entire army with sophisticated equipment.

Once the anti-mopping-up battle begins.

Soldiers will no longer fight in frustration due to backward equipment and scarce ammunition.

Just when Kong Jie devoted himself to military production.

The old brigade commander suddenly called and gave Kong Jie a piece of news that surprised him a little.

"Kong Jie, it's like this. Commander Yan from the Second War Zone recently communicated with our headquarters and decided to send a Shanxi-Suiyuan Army exchange group to visit our Eighth Route Army base for exchanges and study.

The first stop proposed by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was precisely your independent regiment's base.

So the boss's intention is that you, as the representative of the reception, should give a good reception to the friendly officers.

Remember, don't screw it up.

We must not reveal too much of our strength, nor lose the prestige of our Eighth Route Army!"

"Yes!"

Kong Jie hung up the phone and thought secretly that it seemed that the event of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army exchange group visiting, exchanging and learning at the Eighth Route Army base had finally happened due to some strange combination of circumstances.

Moreover, it seemed that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was coming for his independent regiment.

there is always a solution to a problem.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army probably defeated the Japanese Army's 3rd and 9th Mixed Brigades directly this time because the Independent Regiment performed too well in several consecutive battles.

So under the guise of a visit and exchange, I wanted to come and see the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

In that case, just play with them.

According to the old brigade commander, it is quite necessary to demonstrate the strength of our Eighth Route Army to a certain extent.

After making up his mind, Kong Jie first called Li Yunlong and Ding Wei respectively.

According to the old brigade commander's opinion, Kong Jie would be the representative in receiving the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Li Yunlong and Ding Wei would accompany him.

So the three old comrades immediately got together to discuss how to receive the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's visiting and exchange group.

Li Yunlong was not impressed at all. As soon as they met, he started to curse and said, "Damn it, this Shanxi-Suiyuan Army exchange group came to our base area. To put it bluntly, it's like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken. They have no good intentions.

Maybe he is here to gather our intelligence.

Lao Kong, can you talk to your superiors and let us reject it? "

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Lao Li, our Eighth Route Army is open to all. After all, they are nominally friendly forces. How can we refuse them if they come to visit, exchange and learn?

Don't you want to show off your muscles when the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army come over, open their eyes, and teach them how our Eighth Route Army fights the devils?"

Li Yunlong was indeed moved when he heard this. "That makes sense. It's a good opportunity to show those weaklings in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army what a true anti-Japanese team is."

Ding Wei said thoughtfully, "We and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have kept to ourselves in Shanxi, and we are nominally friendly forces, sharing the pressure of the Japanese army.

There were several joint anti-Japanese operations in previous years.

This time, officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are coming to visit and exchange ideas. Lao Kong, Lao Li, what do you think we should do to show them?"

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Hehe, this is not easy to say. Just launch an ambush and open the eyes of those useless Shanxi-Suiyuan troops!"

The three men made up their mind, and Li Yunlong arranged for a group of helmeted soldiers from their New Second Regiment to find an opportunity to ambush the Japanese transport team during the visit and exchange period of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's exchange group.

This demonstrates the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, it can also avoid the exposure of some hidden strengths.

As for those that need to be hidden, there are the newly developed anti-tank rocket launchers, specially built mechanized modified vehicles, and the secretly planned garrison rotation tactics to deal with the Japanese army's retaliatory sweeps.

None of these can be exposed.

Kong Jie could not trust the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. There might be spies among them who leaked the information to the Japanese army. That would be no joke.

Besides.

Kong Jie made another point: "The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has been doing business since they were born. Many of their officers fight in wars, but they also do various businesses in private, and their dealings with the Japanese have never stopped.

This time, we might as well take advantage of the opportunity to get in touch with some officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and improve our relationship.

Maybe we can buy some military production resources and materials from the Jinsui Army later, which will be extremely helpful for the development of our military industry."

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong agree with this.

The three of them made up their minds and time passed quickly.

Early March.

An exchange group of more than 50 people sent by the Headquarters of the Second War Zone of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officially went to the Taihang Base of the Eighth Route Army for a visit, exchange and study.

They first rushed to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and paid a visit to the general and deputy chief of staff.

Then he proposed to visit and study the independent regiment base.

This officer corps is not ordinary. There are several major generals among them, which is quite impressive.

Although they did not speak, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong knew from the way many Shanxi Suiyuan Army officers raised their heads and looked down on others that these officers were probably used to being high and mighty and looked down on the Eighth Route Army base from the bottom of their hearts.

It was not until the group, accompanied by Kong Jie and several others, entered the base of the independent regiment.

The first thing that comes into view in the outer defense zone is the green farmland.

The officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the exchange group were simply dumbfounded.

One of the major generals was surprised and asked: "How can there be such a large area of ​​farmland here?"

Before Kong Jie could speak, Li Yunlong snorted, "The troops have to eat when they fight. If they don't farm, what will they eat? Are they going to collect money from the common people?"

"But will the Japanese army allow this to happen?" a lieutenant colonel of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army asked doubtfully. In his opinion, if he were a Japanese soldier, he would never allow the appearance of anti-Japanese armed forces on farmland in the occupied area.

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Of course the Japs won't just sit there and watch, but we have this."

Kong Jie patted the pistol at his waist.

"This thing is not just for decoration!"

"In addition, every year when the crops are about to mature, we basically launch several autumn harvest defense battles. The Japanese are not stupid and want to come and steal our military rations when the crops are ripe.

Unfortunately, the Japs don’t have that ability yet.

Otherwise, our Eighth Route Army would have starved to death in this mountainous area long ago."
