Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

In order to ensure absolute secrecy, this plan was classified as a military secret.

The soldiers of the two regiments exchanged and transferred with each other after disguising themselves, and even the local people knew nothing about it.

I only know that there seem to be more transport troops entering and leaving the base these days.

In addition, the whole act must be performed in order to achieve an absolute camouflage effect.

During the process of gradually transferring and exchanging forces between the Independent Regiment and the New 21st Regiment, some veteran cadres who were familiar with the surrounding civilians remained in the original base areas.

Then the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment was transferred to the 21st Regiment's base, still flying the banner of the Eighth Route Army's newly formed 21st Regiment, and using these familiar old cadres to maintain relations with the local people.

Everything went on quietly.

Everything will fall into place.

Even the people living around the 21st Regiment's base were completely unaware of it.

In the meantime, they thought that the soldiers of the 21st Regiment stationed in the base had already changed their appearance and become soldiers of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

On the other side, after the soldiers of the 21st Regiment entered the base of the Independent Regiment under the command of Lao Zhou, they quickly became familiar with the Independent Regiment's operating mode and defense system, including the evacuation routes prepared in advance, as Kong Jie said.

Over the past six months, the independent regiment has risen like a dark horse.

The equipment level is developing rapidly.

The base area grew rapidly.

Lao Zhou knew very well that the overall strength of the independent regiment was definitely far greater than that of his 21st Regiment.

But they are all real warriors who have one head on two shoulders and are forged in the fire.

No one will admit that they are inferior to others.

What's more, he and Kong Jie are old comrades-in-arms.

It would be extremely embarrassing to admit that I am not as good as my old comrade.

It was not until he led his troops to gradually station in the independent regiment's base that he gradually understood the development model of the independent regiment's base and the solid defense system that had been comprehensively built.

Only then did Lao Zhou realize how profound the independent regiment’s foundation was.

——Old Zhou, who was sitting in the regiment command center, was looking at the military simulation sand table that covered the entire independent regiment's base. He was looking at the bunkers, watchtowers, secret passages, tunnels, and the comprehensive defense system perfectly built by connecting villages from all over the place and commanding heights.

It actually made my scalp tingle.

I thought to myself: Wow, Lao Kong has turned their independent regiment’s base into an iron fortress.

Such solid defensive fortifications, and I heard from Lao Kong and others that their independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment, formed a relatively stable triangular defense system according to their respective positions, and the three regiments were connected by rapid troop transport channels.

The manpower, material resources and commanders' brainpower consumed during this period.

It's really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just like Lao Zhou at this moment, he felt his confidence greatly increased after leading the main force of the 21st Regiment to fully occupy the independent regiment's base.

With the help of the system defense fortifications specially built by the independent regiment, Lao Zhou expressed his confidence that with the inherent strength and equipment of their 21st regiment.

It can completely block the attack of the Japanese army with at least twice or even three or four times the force.

Including the company commanders of various battalions from the 21st Regiment who rushed to the regiment headquarters to attend the meeting, all of them expressed their admiration for the solidity of the defensive fortifications built by the independent regiment's base.

The battalion commander was even a little impatient: "Commander, with these solid field fortifications, I am now hoping that the Japanese can attack us sooner so that we can kill them to our heart's content."

"By the way, Commander, I heard that Commander Kong asked us to move to their independent regiment base for garrison this time, and also sent us a batch of equipment and ammunition. I heard that there are some special new weapons in the equipment.

Is that true?"

Captain Zhou nodded. He had already seen the new weapons sent by Kong Jie, and they were indeed shocking.

These include some unscrupulous cannons, directional anti-personnel mines, wooden-handled grenades that can be produced with a relatively simple process, and yellow explosives made from fertilizer powder.

"The equipment that Captain Kong gave us are all excellent weapons for dealing with the Japanese. The independent regiment left such a good stage for killing the Japanese to our 21st Regiment. If we don't perform well this time, it will be a shame!"

Encouraged by Head Zhou, the morale of the cadres attending the meeting soared, and they all expressed their excitement that they must kill him with ease.

the other side.

Kong Jie also led the main force of the independent regiment to successfully station in the base of the newly formed 21st Regiment.

Afterwards, he asked the soldiers to quickly familiarize themselves with the situation inside and outside the 21st Regiment's base.

——This is due to the close ties between the various regiments of the Eighth Route Army, which share resources on all aspects of intelligence on the enemy.

Therefore, after the Independent Regiment exchanged its base with the 21st Regiment, the Independent Regiment could also quickly obtain relevant intelligence on the Japanese and puppet troops stationed around the 21st Regiment's base.

The 21st Regiment can obtain relevant intelligence about the Japanese and puppet troops around the independent regiment's base.

In this way, the Independent Regiment and the 21st Regiment had a good understanding of the situation of the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops.

On the other hand, the Japanese were completely unfamiliar with the combat style, equipment level and firepower configuration of the two Eighth Route Army independent regiments that had secretly swapped their bases.

The Eighth Route Army knows both itself and the enemy and is therefore invincible in every battle.

The Japanese army was facing a completely new opponent that they had no idea about.

The battle has not yet begun.

The advantage has already tilted towards the Eighth Route Army.

After checking the defense situation of the 21st Regiment’s base.

Zheng Meng, Shen Quan and other battalion commanders of the independent regiment said that the defensive fortifications built by the 21st Regiment's base were indeed far inferior to the solid defensive fortifications built by our independent regiment.

"Captain, should we strengthen the 21st Regiment's defenses?"

Faced with Shen Quan's suggestion, Kong Jie directly rejected it.

"No, strengthening the fortifications will definitely make a lot of noise. The Japanese troops in the surrounding area are likely to notice the situation. If the information about our station reshuffle is leaked, it will be a loss.

By the way, let's swap our stations.

The purpose was to catch the Japanese off guard and to launch a proactive attack. Since it was a proactive attack, why did we need defensive fortifications?

Once the battle breaks out, we will concentrate our forces and attack in one go with our superior equipment and firepower. It doesn’t matter whether we repair the inner defense or not.”

Shen Quan nodded and immediately understood the truth.

In the subsequent military meeting, several old company commanders from the 21st Regiment who stayed behind in the base to assist the Independent Regiment in combat also attended the meeting.

Kong Jie led the cadres to study the military maps of Xiyang area and its surrounding areas.

What are you doing?

The study is about where to attack once the battle starts and the troops quickly break through the Japanese blockade.

"Xiyang City, as well as the various mining enterprises and factories built by the Japanese around the county, all military supplies along the way, whether equipment, ammunition or production raw materials, will be packed up and taken away."

"In addition, there are Ping'an counties around Xiyang, including Yangquan and Shouyang, as well as the major towns and villages surrounding these counties.

Once the Japanese launched a large-scale mopping-up operation against our Eighth Route Army base, most of the Japanese regular field army units, including the security forces in major counties, would most likely be transferred away.

According to our previous combat experience, at this time, the Japanese garrison defending the major county towns is at its weakest.

After our troops break out, we should not attack in one direction, as we will easily be counterattacked by the Japanese army's concentrated firepower.

So according to my initial idea, the battalions are divided into multiple directions as independent combat units, and they attack the rear of several large counties in a roundabout way. "

“But after the decisive battle begins, everyone must remember not to attack the county towns with high walls and thick fortifications of the Japanese army first, but to attack the villages and towns around the county towns first, especially those without wall fortifications.

Try to lure as many Japanese garrisons out of the counties as possible."

In this regard, Kong Jie has his own concerns.

"All along, our battles with the Japanese were mainly ambushes, mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare within the base area.

We seldom launched offensive operations against the Japanese army in county towns and villages.

Therefore, the soldiers lacked experience in offensive operations.

So don't attack the main county town right away, but attack some remote villages and towns first, gradually accumulate experience in attacking the enemy, and treat it as training."

"As for the specific tactics of the offensive battle."

Kong Jie said: "Mobile warfare is what our Eighth Route Army is good at, and in the battle of siege, we can also give full play to the advantages of mobile warfare.

While attacking the Japanese city defenses head-on, they divided into several groups to make detours from the flanks, trying to break through the Japanese side defenses.

In addition, the assault force can arrange in advance a commando team to first climb over the city wall and infiltrate the city. After the commando team infiltrates, they can cooperate with the main force to break through the Japanese city defense fortifications."

"Once we have successfully broken through the Japanese city defenses, we should combine mobile warfare with offensive warfare. When we are fighting street battles with the Japanese, we should adopt frontal attacks to attract the Japanese firepower and conduct surprise attacks from the flanks.

To quickly eliminate the resisting enemy forces."

The cadres were very impressed with the command ability of the regiment commander Kong Jie. They took out small notebooks and carefully recorded all the experiences of combining mobile warfare with tough battles that Kong Jie mentioned.

Several old company commanders from the 21st Regiment who attended the meeting were shocked.

Good guy!

Our other regiments were preparing to deal with the Japanese army's possible retaliatory sweeps after the Hundred Regiments Campaign, and were only thinking about how to use the terrain of the base area to launch defense and repel the Japanese army.

The independent regiment is better.

They were already thinking about how to quickly break through the Japanese defense line and reach the Japs' rear.

It's Xiyangcheng, Yangquan, Ping'an County and Shouyang.

Judging from the situation, their independent regiment has a big appetite this time, and they might even completely destroy the entire southeastern Shanxi.

"Captain Zhang, there aren't many troops from your 21st Regiment left at the base this time. I heard that your company only has one platoon left. I will give you another 150 reinforcements to form a reinforced company, and I will give you the specific command.

how about it?

Do you have the guts to join our independent regiment and charge into the lair of the Japanese?"

Kong Jie's voice suddenly rang out, and Captain Zhang, who was originally immersed in the independent regiment's daring tactics of attacking the rear, was shocked.

I almost thought I had heard it wrong, but when I came to my senses, I responded excitedly:

"Captain Kong, just give the order. I am Zhang and have nothing else to lose, but I am not afraid of losing my life!"

"Well done!"

Kong Jie praised it and then circled Shannan Town on the map.

He said: "According to the intelligence, there is only a small Japanese team stationed in Shannan Town. You lead the reinforced company to quickly bypass it and completely capture Shannan Town within an hour.

How about it, can you do it?"

If he only had a platoon under his command, Captain Zhang might still be a little hesitant.

Although the Japanese army only stationed a small team, the team was well-equipped and had fierce artillery fire. The combat effectiveness of a Japanese team was still quite exaggerated.

Relying on fortifications, they were able to easily repel the Eighth Route Army, which was several times their number.

But Kong Jie added him to the reinforced company.

During the days when the main force of the independent regiment was stationed at the base of the 21st Regiment, Captain Zhang and his entourage witnessed with their own eyes the strength of the elite steel-helmeted soldiers of the independent regiment.

In addition to the well-equipped steel helmet soldiers, the equipment level of the independent regiment's regular main combat forces also amazed Captain Zhang and his party.

There are such troops.

Captain Zhang had nothing else to say, so he immediately put his heels together and responded:

"Please rest assured, Captain Kong, I promise to complete the mission!"

Kong Jie nodded and the meeting continued.

Soon, Kong Jie circled a dozen points of various sizes on the military map. Each point was the target to be attacked after reaching the Japanese army's rear. Corresponding troops and military cadres were assigned to each point.

Suddenly, it seemed as if the entire Jindongnan was in the hands of the independent group.

Just when Kong Jie was holding a meeting with the soldiers to prepare subsequent combat plans.

After Li Yunlong and Ding Wei led their respective troops to the new base, they basically did the same thing as Kong Jie.

These two people are fearless.

Lest the world be in chaos.

After the station exchange plan was completed, the two men, like Kong Jie, began to think about how to make a fortune by attacking the Japanese's rear areas.

During the meeting, Zhang Dabiao noticed that Li Yunlong's eyes would occasionally glance towards the direction of Taiyuan marked on the map.

Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but joked, "Captain, this is a rare opportunity. How about we fight to the rear of the Japanese in one go, concentrate our forces, and take the opportunity to attack Taiyuan?"

Li Yunlong knew that Zhang Dabiao was teasing him on purpose, so he immediately cursed with a dark face: "When I was bragging, if I wanted to attack Taiyuan, I would need at least one division.

You are really awesome, give me a regiment and ask me to attack Taiyuan?

Are you the Eighth Route Army or the Divine Army?"

Cough cough--

Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "Captain, I noticed that you have been thinking about Taiyuan all the time!"

Li Yunlong said: "Of course I am thinking about it, but now is not the right time. Hehe, but it will probably not be long. There will always be a time for me to lead the troops to attack Taiyuan."
