Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

One word.

"ruthless!"

The most shocking thing was that after the squad leader finished cursing on the phone.

None of the dozen soldiers in the class said a word. They seemed to know that they were not performing well, and they continued to carry out the bomb-dropping training honestly.

Then he inspected the bayonet training conducted by the soldiers of the independent regiment, which was a one-on-one actual combat training.

Except that the rifle is not equipped with a bayonet, other parts are almost the same as in actual combat.

The soldier who lost the fight, with a bruised face and even bruises from rifle stabbings, did not complain. Instead, he got up and said fiercely:

"Tiedan, remember this, I will choose you as my opponent tomorrow, and I must get back at you for what I did today!"

I thought there would be a rift between the two fighters.

As a result, during the ball games and various activities in the evening, the two soldiers actually became teammates again, cooperating with each other tacitly, showing their close friendship and deep comradeship.

Independent regiment headquarters.

The old brigade commander did not question Kong Jie why he was training in bayonet fighting.

To conduct actual combat training.

This is not in line with the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, and soldiers are prone to accidental injuries.

Because the old brigade commander knew very well that special treatment is needed in special periods. Letting the soldiers sweat more, or even bleed more, during normal training is always better than sacrificing on the battlefield.

The old brigade commander was just curious: "With such high-intensity training, will there be some activities and competitions in the evening?"

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Commander, the soldiers are always on edge during battles and training, but if they are on edge for too long, they will break down, just like a machine cannot run non-stop and also needs rest.

Therefore, the troops often find ways to help the soldiers relax.

Soldiers of the National Army would smoke and even play dice.

But our Eighth Route Army has discipline, so we might as well organize some competitions, such as playing basketball or holding a tug-of-war competition. This will not only help the soldiers relax their tense nerves, but also further promote group communication and strengthen the friendship between comrades.

So no matter how tiring the training is every day, we always have some social activities and fun games every now and then, and the soldiers all miss these times! ”

The brigade commander was silent after hearing this. He had gained a lot from this trip. Kong Jie, standing on the shoulders of giants, taught him a lesson.

In addition, the brigade commander heard that in addition to the literacy classes and tactical guidance classes set up in the independent regiment, Kong Jie even had a psychological guidance class specially set up for the soldiers.

"Soldiers are prone to psychological problems due to long-term tense nerves, killing enemies on the battlefield, and hovering between life and death. Therefore, in-depth communication and psychological counseling can be used to alleviate the trauma in the hearts of soldiers."

In the end, when the brigade commander left the independent regiment's base, he made up his mind that after returning to the brigade headquarters, he would call on the entire 386th Brigade to learn from the independent regiment.

He even prepared to write a detailed report and submit it to the Yan'an headquarters.

In the Eighth Route Army's various bases and military regions, the projects that Kong Jie had carried out in the independent regiment were fully implemented.

These are all great wisdom!

The brigade commander once again looked at Kong Jie with admiration.

Under Kong Jie's series of operations, the military quality of the soldiers of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle can be said to have grown explosively.

What is the ultimate effect?

The soldiers of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle were like a huge container capable of absorbing any weapons and equipment. When they eliminated a pair of Japanese devils and seized two machine guns, these two machine guns could immediately exert their power in the team.

Three heavy machine guns were captured, and they were also very powerful.

Even if the enemy's tanks, armored vehicles, or even large-caliber artillery were captured, these equipment would quickly demonstrate their power and be perfectly integrated into the team.

The entire team is like a peerless master who is proficient in 18 martial arts. Adding any weapon can make the tiger more powerful.

and so……

The New 17st Regiment, the New 21nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment first quickly wiped out the Japanese Pingchuan Battalion, Xiguan Battalion and Tanaka Battalion in the bases of the New th Regiment, the th Regiment and the st Regiment, and seized a large number of equipment and ammunition.

Including light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and even some specially reinforced Type 92 infantry guns equipped by the Japanese army battalion.

Afterwards, they detoured to the Japanese army's rear area in Yangquan, Shouyang and Ping'an counties, defeated the Japanese and puppet troops, seized the Japanese army's military bases and industrial and mining industries outside the county, and obtained a large number of mechanized vehicles, equipment and supplies.

With the support of these equipment and ammunition, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei will naturally not be idle.

What are you doing?

The captured equipment and ammunition were quickly used by the entire team.

So Kong Jie's independent regiment originally consisted of more than 4000 elite soldiers.

A steel helmet troop of more than 1000 men.

With the help of a large amount of captured Japanese equipment, the original number of more than 1000 steel helmet soldiers was quickly increased to more than 2000, accounting for 50% of the total strength of the regiment.

Ding Wei's new regiment also quickly increased the number of helmeted soldiers to about 1000, accounting for 50% of the regiment's total strength.

The number of helmeted soldiers in Li Yunlong's new Second Regiment also expanded to nearly 800 people, covering more than 50% of the entire regiment.

In the end, the three regiments used a combat mode of fighting to support fighting, and quickly improved the equipment level of the entire regiment and the coverage rate of helmeted soldiers.

When the three Japanese battalions returning for support were besieged by the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

They were the first to experience the strength of the elite Eighth Route Army's Iron Triangle, whose equipment level was further improved and whose combat effectiveness soared again.

The three parties fought fiercely for less than an hour, and even though the Japanese army occasionally provided air fire reinforcements, the three Japanese reinforcement teams still suffered heavy losses in the end.

Only a small number of Japanese troops fled back to the county town in a hurry and dared not show up again.

The reinforcements sent by the Japanese commander Yoshio Shinozuka were still on the march and had not even traveled half the distance.

The news was then passed on to the Japanese headquarters.

"The three reinforcement battalions suffered heavy losses from the elite Eighth Route Army and were almost wiped out!"

"idiot!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was also panicked. With a fire in the Japanese rear, how could he continue to concentrate on dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the base?

The combat effectiveness displayed by the elite Iron Triangle force of the Eighth Route Army once again exceeded his expectations.

Yoshio Shinozuka was unwilling to give up. The 3rd Mixed Brigade, the 9th Mixed Brigade and the 1st Field Brigade were on the verge of completely wiping out the bases of the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment, and eliminating all the Eighth Route Army troops in the bases.

Even if they are not the elite iron triangle.

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka decided not to withdraw troops from the mopping-up forces that were attacking the Eighth Route Army base.

Instead, they drew troops from several major divisions stationed in southern Shanxi and quickly sent reinforcements to Shouyang Yangquan and Ping'an counties.

These field divisions of the Japanese were originally used to guard against the Central Army troops in southern Shanxi.

However, the Japanese were confident that the Central Army was good at defense but not good at offense.

I have long lost the ambition to make progress.

Even if the Central Army knew that the Japanese army was withdrawing troops to reinforce the rear, it would probably not have the courage to launch an attack.

They hoped that both sides of the Japanese defense would be at peace.

And it turns out to be true.

Under the order of Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese army quickly transferred troops from three field brigades in southern Shanxi and advanced in a huge semi-encirclement towards Shouyang, Yangquan and Ping'an counties.

The Japanese 3rd, 9th Mixed Brigade and 1st Field Brigade, which had originally attacked the bases of the Eighth Route Army's New 1st Regiment, New 2nd Regiment and Independent Regiment, continued their battle unchanged and attacked fiercely.

The Eighth Route Army's front headquarters noticed that the Japanese army had again deployed three field brigades.

The boss was also very angry, so he contacted the headquarters of the Second War Zone through the radio. During the communication, he told Commander Yan that the Japanese army's defense line in southern Shanxi was understaffed, and if the Central Army or the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, they would definitely be able to achieve results.

However, the response from the Second War Zone Headquarters was that the Japanese were cunning, their fortifications were strong, and they had sophisticated artillery to assist in the defense, so a hasty counterattack would probably not be worth the cost.

There were even officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who said that this might be a trap deliberately set by the Japanese army.

All in all, what it means is that their Central Army and Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will never take the initiative to launch a counterattack.

Who knows? Maybe they are watching from behind, anxiously, as the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils fight to a mutual defeat, so that they can reap the benefits!

The boss was very annoyed, but helpless. He could only immediately contact the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment Command through the radio.

This shows that the Japanese army quickly dispatched three brigades of troops from southern Shanxi to reinforce.

At this moment, after the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment successfully inflicted heavy damage on the three reinforcement battalions of the Japanese Army, the equipment of the entire regiment was further upgraded.

Without saying too much, let’s just take Li Yunlong’s new second regiment that was finally formed as an example.

During the battle, the New Second Regiment suffered very few casualties, and its strength was still around 1500 people. Relying on the large amount of Japanese equipment captured, the number of steel helmet soldiers has approached 1200, and almost all the regiments are steel helmet soldiers!

Ding Wei's new regiment of helmeted soldiers numbered nearly 1500.

Kong Jie's independent regiment has a total strength of about 4000 people, and the number of helmeted soldiers has exceeded 3000.

According to the equipment level of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle at this moment.

Take the number of machine guns, for example.

The New Second Regiment alone had nearly 30 heavy machine guns.

The New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment had even more heavy machine guns.

It was almost the situation that Li Yunlong had dreamed of: "If I had enough equipment and ammunition, why would I bother? Every soldier in the regiment would have a light machine gun and enough bullets. I could just charge in with the machine gun and that would be it!"

This is a bit exaggerated though.

But it is enough to show how exaggerated the equipment level of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment has reached at this moment.

Even if the Japanese Emperor's Guard came, they would probably be surprised and drop their jaws.

In addition, Kong Jie had foresight.

Long before this battle, a number of pulley devices for transporting heavy weapons were specially prepared for the three regiments of the Iron Triangle.

For example, a one-wheeled tripod vehicle that can be used to pull a heavy machine gun.

There is a wheel in the front, which can be used as a Dulong vehicle. It can be pushed and pulled quickly, and one soldier can run while pulling a heavy machine gun.

Anyway, the Japanese Type 100 heavy machine gun weighs only more than pounds. It is naturally difficult to carry it on your back, but it is much easier to pull it in a cage.

There are two brackets on the rear of the Dulong frame. When in combat, it can be placed on the ground, the machine gun can be mounted and fired, which also gives the heavy machine gun a certain degree of maneuverability.

It just so happened that the Japanese army's rear base, Shouyang Yangquan and Ping'an county towns, had well-developed transportation and a flat continent, which allowed them to fully utilize the mobility of these heavy weapons.

In addition, the captured Japanese infantry guns and regiment guns can be quickly taken away by relying on various captured vehicles.

Upon learning that the Eighth Route Army had reached the Japanese's rear, nearby villagers came running to help, pulling out all their mule and horse carts and flatbed carts to help the Eighth Route Army transport supplies.

With the help of these vehicles, the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment were almost built into the entire regiment's mobile forces.

Although the degree of mechanization is not high, there are not that many cars, armored vehicles and tanks.

At least there are vehicles that are easy to transport all kinds of heavy weapons and supplies.

The New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment were given high-speed mobility.

So when the news came from the headquarters that the Japanese army had new reinforcements and three field brigades were rapidly reinforcing in the direction of Yangquan, Shouyang and Ping'an counties.

Kong Jie was not panicked. Instead, he contacted Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and the three old comrades hit it off and quickly mobilized troops to transfer from Shouyang Yangquan and Ping'an County.

First, they launched a strike in all the counties, towns and villages surrounding the Japanese army, eradicating all the enemy's military bases and industrial and mining industries.

Then, with the cooperation of local troops and ordinary people, all these resources of the Japanese were wiped out.

Then, relying on the mobility of the troops, they detoured towards the various bases of the Eighth Route Army.

- Assist the brother units in the various bases to counter mopping-up operations, raid the Japanese army's defense lines from the outside, and specifically look for isolated Japanese troops to attack.

In the vast mountains.

At the command of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army rushed out quickly and, relying on their equipment that was almost armed to the teeth, launched a fierce attack from the back of the Japanese army.

The intensity of the battlefield was shocking.

The soldiers almost went crazy with killing.

The roar of various machine guns almost completely drowned out the entire mountain area, and the Japanese soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's regular field battalion who were facing them were almost scared to death.

As the two sides fought, the Japanese soldiers, holding their bolt-action rifles, were faced with the Eighth Route Army's light and heavy machine guns and various artillery pieces that were deployed almost all over the mountains and plains. The overwhelming firepower was like a dense rainstorm.

How is this fight going?

Even if it is a head-on positional battle.

Less than half an hour after the two sides fought, the Japanese brigade suffered more than 500 casualties.

The frightened Japanese captain's face changed drastically, and he led the remaining devils in panic. He didn't even have time to transfer all kinds of heavy weapons and artillery. He abandoned them in a hurry and moved forward in a panic.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei did not command the troops to continue pursuing the fleeing Japanese.

The Japanese wanted to escape, but they hid in the deep mountains and forests, making it difficult to catch up with them. It was a waste of time and effort.

The soldiers followed the predetermined orders without stopping. After defeating this Japanese battalion, they continued to detour towards other bases and fiercely attacked the Japanese battalions.

Under the absolute advantage in equipment and suppression of combat effectiveness, the Japanese brigade had basically no room to fight back.

In this way, in just one morning, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle quickly defeated the four field battalions of the Japanese army...
