Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

According to the tactics discussed by three old comrades, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, to deal with the attack of the two major field divisions of the Japanese Army.

As veterans of many battles, these three cadres immediately realized that the Japanese army had mobilized two large field divisions, plus the local security forces and puppet troops, and the army had at least 50,000 to 60,000 people, which was four or five times more than the independent field detachment.

Faced with the Japanese army with such a large military advantage, it is probably unrealistic to completely defeat the opponent head-on.

Even the independent field detachment that has now become completely strong.

So the best way must be to find the enemy's weakness.

So what are the weaknesses of these 50,000 to 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops?

After analysis, Kong Jie proposed: "The Japanese army is large in number and powerful. It is unrealistic to defeat the Japanese army from the front. However, once the 50,000 or 60,000 Japanese troops penetrate deep into the mountains and suburbs, the Japanese logistics line of our base will be greatly stretched, which will become the biggest flaw of the Japanese army.

For the fifty to sixty thousand Japanese and puppet troops, the most troublesome issue was actually food.

With so many troops, plus the maintenance of various artillery vehicles, there is a demand for war horses.

The consumption of materials and food is a huge amount every day.

So including when the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep against our base, each sweep lasted about a week, and we called it a weekly sweep.

This is because the Japanese army’s logistical supply cannot support a large number of troops for a long period of time to carry out long-distance raids on our base.

This time is no exception. As long as we can use our tank troops to directly destroy the Japanese rear-end baggage troops, and our artillery troops to completely destroy the Japanese army's logistics line, so that the tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops trapped in the base area are starved of food and food, then these little Japanese will collapse on their own without our intervention."

The final facts proved the wisdom of the tactics used by the three old comrades.

When the modified tank troops successfully bypassed the rear of the two major divisions of the Japanese army and completely destroyed the enemy's baggage troops, artillery units and logistics lines.

The two old devils in the Japanese division headquarters were howling in anger, but the follow-up supplies were completely cut off and could not be supplied in time.

Under the restriction of food and fodder.

These Japanese devils could only hold out for a few days relying on the 2 to 3 days of rations that each soldier brought with them.

From now on, if we don’t withdraw from the Eighth Route Army base, we will have to starve.

Originally, the Japanese could also search and plunder the villages around the Eighth Route Army base during the mopping-up operation to replenish some supplies.

Yet, on the one hand, this is a drop in the bucket.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army had already carried out the campaign of clearing the fields and evacuating the people in advance before launching this anti-mopping-up operation, and had transferred all the supplies and food in the village.

Not even a grain of rice was left for the Japanese.

Even if the Japanese broke into these villages, they would gain nothing except stepping on some mines deliberately buried by the Eighth Route Army.

As the situation evolved, the Japanese army's vanguard attacking forces suffered casualties under the Eighth Route Army's blockade along the way, and the fighting became increasingly difficult. At the same time, the baggage troops, artillery troops and logistics troops in the rear were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army and were completely unable to keep up with the supply.

At this point in the battle, even though the two major divisions of the Japanese army still had considerable combat strength, they were forced to retreat under the various tactics and tricks of the Eighth Route Army.

That is to retreat.

This massive offensive against the Eighth Route Army's independent field detachment ended so abruptly...
