Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

Time passes quickly.

In the first two times, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the night infiltration operations, Kong Jie led the team personally, and deputy regiment commander Li Yunlong also participated in the operations to experience the charm of special operations.

Success after success.

Without losing a single soldier, he quietly took over the entire stronghold, killed all the Japanese devils, and captured the puppet troops. Kong Jie had another use for these puppet troops, which was also to prevent them from exposing the information about the existence of the Eighth Route Army Special Forces.

While successfully seizing a large amount of equipment and supplies.

The special forces members have more experience in conducting night infiltration operations, are familiar with the operations, and their military confidence is rising.

As the team leader, Wei Dayong learned and grew rapidly through each action.

The third and fourth infiltration operations took place shortly afterwards.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong are no longer involved.

Wei Dayong led the special operations team and also completed the mission perfectly.

Moreover, the monk was a skilled and courageous guy. In order to implement Kong Jie's order to quickly capture the Japanese strongholds, he even led the special forces members to work day and night, and they were able to destroy five or six Japanese strongholds in one night.

This happened in just one week.

The special forces team successfully eliminated more than 30 small and medium-sized Japanese strongholds.

On average, four or five trees can be removed every night.

As more and more strongholds were at hand, Kong Jie further adjusted the defense deployment of the entire independent regiment's defense zone - taking Liujia Village, the initial garrison, as the basis, and then radiating to the surrounding areas, initially establishing the independent regiment's anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines.

At the same time, the strongholds eliminated by the special forces at night were taken over by the Eighth Route Army, which in turn used them as solid defensive fortifications to resist the Japanese attack.

"Don't the Japanese want to use these strongholds and artillery towers as cages to completely trap our Eighth Route Army?"

"Then let's use these cages to trap the devils."

"The Japanese, with their abundant ammunition and superior equipment, can stop the attack of our main force by simply stationing some troops in the stronghold.

On the other hand, if we station some small troops in the enemy's stronghold, we may not be able to stop the attack of more Japanese and puppet troops."

Independent regiment headquarters.

At the military meeting, Kong Jie put forward his own ideas.

And he thought very comprehensively.

"Of course, the Japanese took advantage of our Eighth Route Army because of its backward equipment, scarce ammunition, and lack of siege artillery. The gun towers and stronghold fortifications we built were even made of wood and stone, or at most brick and stone structures.

Such defensive fortifications will indeed pose no problem for us, the Eighth Route Army.

But if we turn it around and deal with the Japanese, it would not be enough.

The Japs were well-equipped and had no shortage of siege artillery. Even a 70mm Type infantry gun could completely destroy a wooden, stone, or brick-and-stone turret with a few continuous shots.

We can use the enemy's stronghold to defend ourselves, but we can't dig our own graves and trap ourselves inside the stronghold."

The battalion commander Zheng Meng scratched his head and couldn't help asking, "Captain, what should we do?"

Kong Jie said: "Although wood, stone and brick fortifications cannot stop the Japanese artillery, concrete structures, even reinforced concrete structures with steel bars, can stop the attack of the Japanese conventional artillery.

During this period of time, we have destroyed the Japanese strongholds and seized a lot of cement, right?

Use these things to reinforce the turrets and bunkers at important nodes.”

“In addition, our troops stationed at the stronghold must ensure that they can attack or defend. We need to open another door at the rear of the stronghold so that if the enemy’s attack is too fierce, we can retreat at any time to avoid casualties.

In addition to opening the regular back door.

In some places with more suitable soil, we can also dig evacuation passages.

This way, even if the Japanese use large-caliber artillery to forcibly destroy the stronghold, our soldiers can evacuate calmly. "

As he spoke, Kong Jie took out the sketch he had prepared early in the morning on how to dig a tunnel and the layout of the tunnel's internal structure.

——This can be considered as a part of the application of tunnel warfare. The tunnel tactics were first tried by the Eighth Route Army troops in the Hebei-Central region after the May 42st mopping-up campaign began in , and later developed and matured rapidly.

What everyone can understand at the moment is the tunnel fortifications.

But this did not prevent the cadres from being surprised when Kong Jie took out the tunnel structure map.

"Damn it, so this is how we can fight! Digging tunnels underground to fight the Japanese?"

Li Yunlong was very surprised. He looked at his old comrade Kong Jie and wished he could open Kong's brain to see when this guy became so opinionated.

Kong Jie continued to expand on the underground tactics: "The establishment of a base area will immediately become a thorn in the eyes of the devils, and it is very likely to attract strong retaliation from the Japanese army.

So in every village within our independent regiment’s base.

It is also necessary to build special warning systems and defense systems.

On the one hand, they were particularly alert to the arrival of the Japanese mopping-up troops and could organize villagers to transfer and evacuate at any time. On the other hand, they could combine tunnel tactics with the village's defense system.

Further enhance the combat effectiveness of our militia.”

"Oh, by the way, in order to strengthen the vigilance of each village, we also have to conduct emergency evacuation drills for the villagers from time to time to ensure that once the Japanese mopping-up troops arrive, the villagers can be evacuated quickly and in an orderly manner."

This can be considered as an emergency avoidance exercise plan for later generations to learn from.

Just sufficient training in normal times.

You won't fail at the critical moment.

At the end of the entire meeting, Kong Jie talked a lot about the development of the base and the concept of the defense system, taking every detail into consideration.

The instructors of each battalion and the counselors of each company just lowered their heads to take notes, constantly recording the regiment commander's wonderful ideas.

From the very beginning of the meeting, Li Yunlong was in a state of constant shock, then numbness.

In fact, it’s not just Li Yunlong.

Including those veteran cadres of the independent regiment who attended the meeting and were particularly familiar with Kong Jie.

Everyone suddenly discovered that the regiment commander's brain seemed to be working better and better. Compared with his previous style of being a tiger general who was good at fighting tough and fierce battles, he now had more of the demeanor of a general who was good at strategizing.

And all the changes seemed to have started with the Japanese sneak attack on Yangcun.

Kong Jie naturally didn't care what the cadres were thinking.

At present, the independent regiment is growing rapidly, occupying many strongholds that originally belonged to the Japanese army, further expanding its defense area, and opening up a base behind enemy lines.

So far, it has an area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers, with more than 40 villages including Liujia Village and tens of thousands of people.

The plates are getting bigger and bigger.

But the pressure on Kong Jie's shoulders was also getting heavier.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Will the Japanese just sit back and watch the development of the independent regiment’s base?
