Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

The sudden outbreak of the battle in Huangyun Town.

The Japanese army in Shouyang was caught off guard.

Because it involves a strong military town.

The news was quickly passed on to the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, and the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, dispatched field troops from surrounding counties to provide rapid reinforcements.

However, they did not expect that the independent regiment's combat effectiveness would be so amazing and that they would capture Huangyun Town so quickly.

The various reinforcement troops are still entangled with the Eighth Route Army's anti-reinforcement troops on the way!

The news that Huangyun Town was completely captured and the remaining defenders were completely wiped out on the city wall in the center of the town reached the Japanese command.

The targets for reinforcements have all been eliminated.

The reinforcements themselves seemed to have lost their meaning.

The Japanese reinforcements contacted the headquarters one after another, asking whether to continue moving towards Huangyun Town.

The rather annoyed Yoshio Shinozuka issued an order in the name of the First Army Headquarters, urging the various field armies to continue to encircle Huangyun Town.

If the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment cannot be stopped in Huangyun Town, the Independent Regiment will be completely wiped out in Shouyang.

The old devil was furious.

Recently, the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has appeared in front of him frequently. It has repeatedly caused defeats to the Imperial Army. It is said that it has also established some anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines in the Shouyang border area.

They even controlled an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, making the Japanese troops in Shouyang area dejected, and there was already a tendency for them to confront the Japanese army.

How could Yoshio Shinozuka, who would never allow the imperial military prestige to be damaged, sit idly by and watch the independent group grow stronger?

The First Army Headquarters actually came into conflict with a regimental combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.

A large number of field army troops were drawn from various counties.

The original defensive force stationed there was greatly weakened.

The Japanese didn't take it seriously at first. In recent times, they had built a large number of strongholds, bunkers and artillery towers along the roads and railways, implementing a cage blockade against the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army's counterattack against the Japanese strongholds and bunkers was not very strong.

With the help of these cages, even if the garrison force was not large, the Japanese army believed that it was enough to completely trap the Eighth Route Army in the uninhabited deep mountains and forests.

Unfortunately, the Japanese miscalculated this time.

The Japanese underestimated the boss's determination to launch a large-scale raid to completely break the Japanese blockade.

Taking advantage of the outbreak of the battle in Huangyun Town.

The vengeful Japanese army dispatched a large number of field troops from Yangquan, Heyuan, Ping'an, Xiyang and other counties around Shouyang to encircle the independent regiment.

The 386th and 385th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, as well as its newly formed brigades, various military sub-districts, and various front-line combat regiments, all followed the predetermined combat plan and first launched raids from the Taihang area, mainly targeting the Japanese Army's Zhengtai Railway Line.

What is a raid operation?

It is to carry out blasting and destruction on the enemy's roads, bridges, railways, tunnels, etc., to completely paralyze the enemy's transportation lines and weaken the transportation capacity of the Japanese army in the rear.

Completely break the cage policy implemented by the Japanese relying on transportation lines.

The situation is evolving rapidly.

Before dawn the next day, the entire Taihang region and the entire southeastern Shanxi province were in complete chaos.

After the sabotage operations were first launched mainly in the Taihang area, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, the Shanxi-Hebei-Hebei-Henan base area, the Shanxi-Suiyuan base area and other areas in northern Shanxi responded one after another and launched sabotage operations against the enemy's major transportation lines.

Initially, the front-line headquarters expected that only more than 20 regiments would be deployed in the raid.

However, as the situation evolved, the number and scale of troops gradually deployed by the Eighth Route Army far exceeded the judgment and control of the front-line headquarters.

However, under the order of Yoshio Shinozuka, the Japanese field armies in Yangquan, Ping'an, Xiyang, Heyuan, Yangqu and other counties surrounding Shouyang were moving towards Shouyang.

Attempted to destroy the Independence Group.

This move left the original defensive lines empty of troops.

The various units of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the opportunity and launched attacks on the enemy's important transportation lines.

Over 30 bridges of various sizes on the Japanese highway were blown up overnight, more than a dozen tunnels were blown up, and more than ten kilometers of captured Japanese railroad tracks were dug up.

If you look down from a high altitude.

All major transportation lines of the Japanese army around Taihang Mountain, especially some important railway lines with frequent transportation, were cut down like sections of cowpeas.

Can't connect at all.

……

Inside the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, looking at the chaotic battle situation in southeastern Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka finally had no time to deal with the Independent Regiment.

It was originally planned to draw more than three fully-strength field armies from the counties around Shouyang, including Yangqu, Heyuan, Ping'an, Xiyang, etc.

In the end, most of them had no choice but to return home to their original bases and assist the local security forces in ensuring the stability of the transportation lines.

Destroy and repel the Eighth Route Army's sabotage troops.

Instead, a field infantry battalion drawn from Yangquan, the closest area to Shouyang, continued to advance towards Shouyang, preparing to completely destroy the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and eliminate the main force of the Independent Regiment with the assistance of the Shouyang Security Force.

Finally around ten o'clock the next morning.

The Nanyuan Battalion of the Japanese Field Infantry Battalion coming from the direction of Yangquan successfully arrived in Shouyang and met with Nanbu and his party who came to welcome them with the Shouyang Security Force.

at the same time.

After the battle of Huangyun Town ended.

The soldiers of the independent regiment seized all kinds of supplies and equipment and returned home with a full load.

The battle went more smoothly than Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had expected.

The special forces took the lead and successfully infiltrated Huangyun Town, then successfully instigated a company of the puppet army camp to defect. After the subsequent battle broke out, they took the lead in launching an artillery raid against the Japanese gendarmerie.

So when the more than 100 Japanese soldiers in the gendarmerie rushed out of the gendarmerie, more than half of them had been killed or wounded.

The independent regiment's special forces company, which had specially enhanced its firepower configuration, quickly arrived at Huangyun Town in eight vehicles and launched a fierce attack.

The two sides fought fiercely in the gate fortification area of ​​Huangyun Town.

With the assistance of the puppet army that had rebelled, the special forces launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops in the city from behind, cooperating inside and outside.

The main defense force stationed at the Huangyun Town city gate was less than a squadron of more than 130 Japanese field troops.

Plus the remaining dozens of Japanese soldiers who hurriedly arrived from the gendarmerie.

If it was a regular offensive battle.

Relying on the solid city walls, sophisticated equipment, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery deployed in the city defense fortifications, these more than 100 Japanese devils could even easily block the attack of a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Of course, the premise is that the attacking Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, and its regiment does not even have a few decent artillery pieces.

The reinforced company directly under the regiment, which was specially built with the independent regiment's concentrated resources, is obviously not among them.

A large number of machine guns and artillery appeared.

The firepower of those light machine guns and the mobile heavy machine guns with rollers would be fine.

All kinds of artillery were deployed, from small-caliber 50mm cannons to 60mm mortars. Under the command of Kong Jie, who was determined to do his best, the shells fell on the Japanese city defense fortifications as if they were free.

Then there were the dozen or so unscrupulous cannons of such large caliber that they could not be measured and lined up in a row.

bang bang bang-

In the dark night, flames shot up into the sky brilliantly, and explosive packs were thrown into the air, then flew over 100 meters and slammed heavily into the Japanese city defense fortifications.

Amid the earth-shaking explosion, the Japanese soldiers stationed at the city gate fortifications were almost stunned.

How could this be the same Eighth Route Army they remembered, with poor equipment and scarce ammunition?

It completely overturned their understanding of the Eighth Route Army.

The fierce battle lasted less than 20 minutes.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the city defense fortifications had already suffered heavy casualties under the fierce bombardment of the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire, and they were also attacked by the special forces inside and the puppet troops who turned against their side at the last minute.

Under attack from front and back.

The city defenses were completely lost.

Soon after, the sickle flag of the Eighth Route Army was planted on the top of the Japanese city wall, fluttering in the wind...
