Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

In the end, the smooth progress of things exceeded the expectations of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

After learning the news sent by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others, the main regiments, the newly formed regiments and the troops in the bases of major military regions did not hesitate to gather their forces and set up ambushes from all directions according to what Kong Jie and others said, waiting for the Japanese to be completely defeated and then quickly fleeing in all directions.

This is exactly what gives Kong Jie a headache.

With the current combat effectiveness of the Iron Triangle Force, they can completely defeat the Japanese 36th Division even in a face-to-face confrontation.

But the problem is that once the Japanese are defeated, they will definitely flee in all directions.

The three regiments of the Iron Triangle could have defeated the Japanese army, but they could not stop the fleeing devils.

It takes far more troops to encircle an army than to defeat it.

So Kong Jie used this method to invite support from all parties.

When the battle broke out, the entire Taihang area surrounding the independent regiment's base was like a huge stage.

The surrounding Eighth Route Army regiments and military sub-district troops were like spectators waiting to see what was happening, and were also participants.

After the Iron Triangle had defeated the 36th Division head-on, they would take the opportunity to encircle and intercept the Japanese and jointly share the big pie of the 36th Division.

The two sides fought fiercely soon after as expected.

It's on the verge!

The commander of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Wu Chuannan, led the main force of the 36th Division forward with great momentum.

According to the arrogant thinking of this old devil, even though his 36th Division was not fully staffed, the st Infantry Brigade was besieged in the Eighth Route Army base.

At this time, he still had the elite troops of the Imperial Army under his command, carrying a large number of artillery - although the artillery regiment of the 36th Division was severely damaged after it followed the st Infantry Brigade into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

But in this battle, the old Japanese Wu Chuannan re-drawn a large number of artillery from various troops and ordnance departments to replenish the troops.

Therefore, the artillery power of the 36th Division at this moment is even more exaggerated than when they were fully staffed.

In addition to the usual mountain and field artillery regiment.

The Japs even specially strengthened a heavy artillery regiment equipped with 105mm howitzers.

There is also a nearly fully staffed armored brigade with more than 60 armored vehicles and tanks.

With such powerful military force, Wu Chuannan believed that the imperial army's advance should be unstoppable.

The Eighth Route Army would never dare to engage in direct confrontation with the Imperial Army.

This has always been the Japanese military's understanding.

On the battlefield behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army mainly relied on guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and harassment warfare, and rarely dared to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army.

This old devil was even thinking about how to catch up with the Eighth Route Army and destroy them once they were defeated and quickly fled.

Then...

The battle broke out completely!

——The old Japanese soldier Wu Chuannan divided the entire team into the vanguard, the main force of the central army and the rear guard according to the established military layout. In the process of advancing, there were also patrol teams and guard teams that took the lead in reconnaissance on both sides.

This is to avoid falling blindly into the ambush of the Eighth Route Army.

Facing such a cautious Japanese army.

Conventional ambush methods will be completely ineffective, and the Japanese will never fall into your pre-set ambush circle like a blind man.

Therefore, the first fierce battle between the two sides broke out was between each other's reconnaissance troops.

Dense gunfire sounds came from the mountains and forests where the reconnaissance troops of both sides encountered each other.

The first fight lasted less than ten minutes.

The Japanese reconnaissance unit returned in defeat, and only a dozen of the 50-odd devils in the squad escaped...
