Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

However, the nightmare was just the beginning for the Japanese army.

Today, with the development of the Eighth Route Army Independent Field Detachment, its equipment level and military quality are no less than those of the Type B combat divisions of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi.

If the terrain is similar for both sides, a face-to-face positional battle will be fought.

The Japs might be able to gain some advantage by relying on their artillery and air firepower advantages.

But if it was in the mountainous area where the Eighth Route Army base was located.

The Eighth Route Army was more familiar with the surrounding terrain and took advantage of the time and location.

Taking advantage of the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the troops are deployed in echelons and layer by layer to fully exert the firepower of various equipment. The combat effectiveness that can be presented is something completely different.

——This is exactly the advantage of fighting guerrilla warfare against the Japanese army in Shanxi, a place with many mountains and valleys. Relying on the terrain and topography, the mechanized advantage of the Japanese army cannot be fully deployed in the mountains.

Therefore, even some guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army could move to another location after firing two shots, leading the Japanese by the nose and running around in the mountains, and the Japanese could not do anything to the Eighth Route Army.

In response to the attack of two major divisions of the Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army Independent Field Detachment fully utilized the advantages of the terrain, exerted the firepower of its sophisticated equipment, and relied on its positions and advantageous depth to gradually wear down the Japanese Army.

The entire mountainous area was turned into a slaughterhouse to consume the Japanese army's manpower, making every step the Japanese troops took in the mountainous area extremely difficult, like stepping into an abyss.

So the battle started, and it was like a nightmare for the Japanese.

Looking up, the endless Qiongshan Mountains made it impossible to figure out where the Eighth Route Army troops were hiding, and the Eighth Route Army's attack could break out at any time along the way and catch the Japanese army off guard.

When the independent field detachment's absolutely superior firepower poured down, the Japanese would often suffer heavy casualties in the hasty and brief confrontation.

The two Japanese division commanders who led the team were so angry that they howled. They commanded their troops to advance on all fronts, vowing to force the Eighth Route Army to fight a decisive battle with them and completely destroy the Eighth Route Army Independent Field Detachment.

In this way, the main force of the Japanese attack advanced deeper into the mountains step by step under the lure of the Eighth Route Army.

After the Japanese main combat forces were completely disconnected from the resource-intensive artillery units in the rear, the mobile combat forces arranged by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei came in handy.

——That was the modified tank unit of the independent field detachment created by Kong Jie.

Most of them are lightly armed tanks with absolute mobility. With tracks, they can move on even some steep slopes as if on flat ground.

After making a detour to the rear of the Japanese army, they were able to fight on the flat terrain like a fish in water.

A major battle immediately broke out in the devil's rear area, where the Eighth Route Army tank units unilaterally crushed the Japanese army's traditional infantry.

The Japanese army's logistics and artillery units that lagged behind had no power to fight back against the elite Eighth Route Army tank units.

The Japanese artillery was powerful, but unfortunately it was simply unable to hit the maneuverable modified tanks in close combat.

When these modified tanks rushed from all directions at an astonishing speed, they directly broke through the conventional defense line set up by the Japanese army and broke into the Japanese artillery positions. It was simply devastating to the Japanese artillery units...
