Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"Southeast direction, Yamamoto's special forces!"

Kong Jie muttered to himself, his eyes brighter than ever before.

He didn't expect that his golden finger could be so useful.

Now we have a clue about Yamamoto's special forces team!

Shen Quan, who was closer to Kong Jie, asked in confusion: "Captain, what did you say? What team?"

Kong Jie did not explain, but took the map immediately, then took a ruler and a pencil and started working on the map. Soon, he marked a dotted line on the map that gradually became connected.

Then he explained to the confused battalion commanders beside him: "Look at the map, the dotted line I drew.

Let’s work backwards.

This special group of Japanese soldiers started from their security area and chose a more concealed curve to penetrate all the way to our Yangcun.

After passing Yangcun, you can go straight to Daxia Bay.

Then let's work backwards from Yangcun, avoiding the defense zones of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and some local anti-Japanese armed defense zones along the way. Which route will the Japanese army choose?

I think it's probably the dotted line I drew.

It is generally in a southeasterly direction.”

Having said that, how much truth does it have or is it just nonsense?

Then it doesn't matter.

At this point, Kong Jie's words became more firm than ever before: "The Yangcun encounter is only a few hours away. If this Japanese army retreats along the same route, they will most likely take a short rest in the camps along the way.

If at this critical juncture, we mobilize a special force and follow the clues to the southeast.

Who knows, we might be able to catch this little devil!"

The implication.

The chance for revenge has come!

Shen Quan stood up straight with a rage and fighting spirit in his eyes: "Commander, please give the order. The blood debt must be paid with blood. If I don't kill this group of devils, I, as the battalion commander, will not be able to continue my work!"

The first battalion commander Zheng Meng and the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao also followed suit and volunteered to fight.

Kong Jie thought for a moment and said, "On the one hand, in order not to alert the enemy, we cannot send too many troops this time. I think it would be best to control the size to a reinforced company.

On the other hand, it’s right for everyone to want revenge, but they must not lose their composure.

We must be clear about who we are facing.

This was a small group of elite Japanese troops with a strength of about 80 people, who were good at camouflage, sneak attacks and infiltration. They were all equipped with submachine guns, standard steel helmets and field boots.

In addition, when they were fighting, I noticed that they carried out tactical coordination between groups.

Each team consists of about ten people, with light machine guns to provide fire cover and easy-to-carry grenade launchers.

As for the specific combat effectiveness, I think everyone has already experienced it in the encounter last night."

"So, if we chase them all the way and really run into this group of devils, and a battle breaks out again, with the strength of a reinforced company, can we severely damage or even destroy this Japanese army?"

The sudden rhetorical question was deafening.

The three battalion commanders were completely stunned by the question.

Last night's brutal encounter seemed to be still before our eyes: the two sides encountered each other suddenly, and there were only seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers. The independent regiment acted quickly, mobilizing nearly half of the regiment's strength, and engaged in a confrontation with the Japanese army with the main force of the second battalion.

As a result, the hasty battle lasted less than twenty minutes.

The independent regiment suffered more than 300 casualties, among which the Second Battalion suffered the heaviest casualties and its entire organization was completely destroyed.

From a certain perspective, this was a group of seventy or eighty devils defeating an independent regiment of over a thousand soldiers in a night encounter!

This shows how powerful the Japs' fighting power is.

For a moment, none of the three battalion commanders had the confidence to say that they could defeat or even annihilate this group of devils by leading a reinforced company.

Finally, it was Kong Jie who broke the silence: "I know what you are thinking. What I want to say is that it is not wrong to pay attention to your opponent, but you must not lose the courage to attack and the belief that you will win.

Our independent regiment suffered a defeat in the skirmish last night.

It was nothing more than that this group of Japanese soldiers came suddenly, had special tactics, were well-equipped, and had no desire to fight. They retreated after the battle. The enemy was in the dark, and we were in the light. It can be said that we were caught off guard and had no preparation at all. "

He changed the subject and suddenly became domineering:

"But the situation right now is different. This time the devils are in the open and we are in the dark.

We will mobilize a reinforced company. Although the strength is not large, it is nearly twice that of the Japanese troops. Moreover, they are veterans with rich combat experience drawn from our entire regiment. It is really not enough. Cadres, send all of them to me.

As for the lack of equipment.

I can concentrate all the equipment and weapons of our entire regiment and reinforce one company. With this calculation, a squad in our reinforced company can almost have two light machine guns.

In addition, take as many grenades as you can, and load as many bullets as you can.

The few grenade launchers and artillery shells that the regiment had were also taken with them.

I just don't believe that such a cadre company armed to the teeth can't defeat dozens of Japanese devils?"

The domineering declaration infected all the cadres.

The cadres shouted in unison that this battle would surely be won.

Immediately, under Kong Jie's deployment, the cadres took quick action and indeed drew veterans from the entire regiment. If the number was insufficient, they directly drew cadres from each battalion and company and temporarily incorporated them into the reinforced company.

It was organized according to the three-three system of the Eighth Route Army combat regiment.

Three battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders, nine company commanders and deputy company commanders, twenty-seven platoon leaders and deputy platoon leaders, and eighty-one squad leaders and deputy squad leaders.

Are you worried that you can’t gather a company of cadres?

It was finally determined that the reinforced company would have 160 people participating in this battle.

It is composed of 5 platoons, each with 32 soldiers.

All of the independent regiment's 18 Type 2 light machine guns, 3 Czech-made light machine guns, 30 Type 4 grenade launchers, more than Mauser pistols collected by the cadres, and grenades issued to each person after being transferred from the entire regiment were deployed.

The average amount of ammunition carried per person is 60 rounds.

It almost reached a rare moment of prosperity in the history of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to deal with Yamamoto's special forces, Kong Jie also gave it his all.

After putting on such equipment, the soldiers, who were already determined to win, suddenly became very motivated. In an instant, let alone Yamamoto's special forces, even if the Japanese Emperor's Guard came, they would smash him to pieces.

Not only that, Kong Jie took the lead and led the team personally, with two 20-shot Mauser pistols on his waist. He looked majestic and walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, which gave the soldiers enough confidence to win.

"set off!"

At his command, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment temporarily organized a special reinforced company, set out from Yangcun, and quickly advanced towards the southeast.

When the team was leaving the base, they happened to run into a communications soldier who was coming from the headquarters to deliver a message.

The signalman was stunned when he saw the high morale and murderous intent of Kong Jie and his team.

Wasn’t it said that the independent regiment’s morale was low and on the verge of collapse because they had only fought half a battle?

How is this going?

However, the order from headquarters had already been issued, ordering Kong Jie to prepare for suspension and await punishment, and the signalman was now coming with this order.

"Captain Kong..."

The signalman opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Kong Jie interrupted him without saying anything: "If you have any words or orders, wait until I come back."

"Captain Kong, what are you doing?"

"Kill the Japs and avenge our hatred!" These seven simple words. By the time the communications soldier came to his senses, Kong Jie had already led the murderous team away quickly.

The communications soldier was stunned and thought to himself that something was wrong.

I'm afraid this day is going to change!

"I have to go back and report this to headquarters!"
