Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"So the theme of our military meeting should not be how to deal with the Japanese attack in Shouyang, but how to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops after the devils reach our base and get rid of this damn Nanyuan Battalion."

Li Yunlong said this with great confidence, and the cadres attending the meeting all laughed. The expression on everyone's face was without exception that of absolute military confidence.

Since the battle to capture Huangyun Town ended.

The morale of the independent regiment was greatly boosted, its equipment was further upgraded, and the military training of the entire regiment had never stopped. It was no longer the regiment that had suffered heavy casualties from the sneak attack by the Japanese special forces a few months ago and was unable to recover.

Kong Jie also laughed, but still reminded:

"As I said before, we can despise the Japanese army strategically, but we must take them seriously tactically.

What Lao Li said is right. With the current equipment situation of our independent regiment, we can consider how to completely wipe out the invading Japanese and puppet troops.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, to achieve ultimate victory with minimal casualties.

At the same time, this battle also represents the battle launched by our independent regiment to defend the base and establish its prestige.

We have to fight to hurt and scare the Japanese.

We must let the Japanese know that our independent regiment base is not a place where they can come and go as they please. "

how to spell?

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan took the lead in introducing the situation of the Japanese army to everyone based on the intelligence he had collected.

"Since late August, our Shota Campaign has officially begun, and the Japanese are busy everywhere trying to stop our raiding troops.

The troops originally stationed in the counties simply cannot spare enough manpower to deal with our base.

Otherwise, most of the Japanese troops that had originally surrounded us from the counties surrounding Shouyang would not have withdrawn.

Combined with the intelligence we collected, we preliminarily judged that the Japanese and puppet troops in Shouyang were mainly the Namwon Battalion of the Japanese Army that came to reinforce this time, with more than 1000 devils.

In addition, there are some local Japanese and puppet army security forces in Shouyang, and at most some field troops.

All in all, the size of the Japanese puppet army is only about a regiment at best."

The battalion commander Zheng Meng laughed and said, "Old Shen, I think you are overestimating. The Japanese field army does have some combat effectiveness.

As for the devil's security forces, especially those puppet troops and traitors, their combat effectiveness is not even second-rate.

I don't think they need to be taken into consideration at all.

If you calculate it this way, the ratio of the Japs' elite combat forces to our independent regiment's strength is at most 1 to 1, and we may even have more troops.

We are more familiar with the terrain and topography than the Japanese.

The only advantage the Japs have is probably their self-proclaimed superior equipment.”

"but……"

"The Japanese's machine guns and artillery are probably no match for our independent regiment."

Li Yunlong couldn't wait any longer, so he turned to the Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao who was in charge of this matter and asked, "Third Battalion Commander, how many of the directional anti-personnel mines invented and produced by Lao Kong have we produced?"

Wang Huaibao replied: "This thing is incredibly powerful, but it consumes too much material. We have almost used up all the materials. We have only produced 80 in total."

Li Yunlong nodded and counted on his fingers: "Eighty Killing Kings, if they are placed in the right position, one can kill 10 to 20 Japanese soldiers, or even a thousand Japanese soldiers.

I think the Japanese will get into trouble.

In addition to our unscrupulous artillery, if we can gather the Japs and puppet troops together and lure them into our ambush circle, we can line up the cannon barrels that are thicker than my waist and fire them out in a flash, and dozens of large explosive packs will fall into the Japs camp.

It will definitely make the Japanese cry for their parents."

"The question is how to lure the Japanese into our pre-set ambush circle?"

This immediately became the core topic of discussion among the cadres.

After nearly 20 minutes of discussion, Kong Jie finally summarized everyone's ideas and said, "We have sorted out the basic ideas for dealing with the Japanese attack in Shouyang.

The first step is to start from the outer defense zone, set up in stages, and block the enemy layer by layer.

But we must remember that we are deliberately weak in force. The outer defense must not expose too much firepower. We must make the Japanese believe that our Eighth Route Army is no match for their well-equipped Japanese army.

Only after the Japanese won a victory would they slowly take the bait like a loach that has tasted sweetness.

Wait until the Japanese relax their guard and completely enter our inner ambush circle, then attack with all our strength and try to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in the shortest possible time.

At this point, the Japs couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.”

Kong Jie had many considerations for this deployment.

“First, our independent regiment’s anti-Japanese revolutionary base behind enemy lines has just been established, and the Japanese don’t know much about the situation in our base and haven’t figured out our background.

Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't have attacked so blindly. How dare the small Namwon Battalion challenge our base?

Then we must completely wipe out the invading Japanese troops.

This will make it even more difficult for the Japanese to figure out the depth of our base.

After the defeat in this battle, the Japanese will have to think twice before invading our independent regiment’s base area again.”

“Secondly, our fight against the Japanese must be based on the sustainable development of the army and the sustainable progress of the war of resistance.

The only way to seize all the equipment and ammunition of the Japanese and puppet troops is to annihilate the enemy completely.

Otherwise, after a battle, although the Japanese were defeated, they withdrew with their equipment and supplies, and we ended up getting nothing but losing a lot of ammunition. Wouldn't the army become poorer and poorer?

We can’t do this kind of losing business.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yunlong, who was participating in the meeting, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Suddenly he felt that Lao Kong was his confidant!

In addition, Kong Jie also made preparations in many aspects.

"First, before the battle breaks out, the villagers around the combat zone must be evacuated to the rear base in advance, including the villagers' property."

"Second, once the Japanese and puppet troops' attack is frustrated, the devils will most likely call for air fire reinforcements. We must be prepared for air defense."

Currently, the independent regiment has limited anti-aircraft weapons, but Kong Jie also prepared a surprise for the Japanese. He personally modified some machine guns loaded on the Japanese cars into anti-aircraft machine guns.

In addition, some machine gunners captured from the Japanese army and modified their anti-aircraft guns.

Maybe we can even shoot down a few Japanese fighter planes.

"Third, no matter whether the Japanese will use poison gas bombs to attack, we must be prepared to deal with it."

Kong Jie gave special instructions on how to quickly identify the types of poison gas bombs used by the Japanese army, how to avoid poison gas in an emergency, and how to save oneself after being exposed to poison gas.

After all the arrangements were made, cadres at all levels began to prepare.

The cadres left one after another until the meeting ended.

Li Yunlong was rather depressed: "Old Kong, I don't think I can stay in your independent regiment any longer. You have considered all aspects, whether it is what Old Li has thought of or not.

You have taken away all the work I know, what else can I, Li Yunlong, do?"

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Old Li, I still have to stay in the rear to coordinate. I want to hand over the command of this ambush and completely eliminate the invading Japanese and puppet troops to you."

"Ah?" Li Yunlong was obviously stunned.

Then he came to his senses and realized that Kong Jie was deliberately giving him the opportunity to make a contribution!

We are old comrades-in-arms for many years, the kind of comrades who can block bullets for the enemy on the battlefield.

The friendship is deep.

Li Yunlong did not hesitate, as he needed this military achievement now.

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong rarely put his feet together and responded solemnly as the deputy commander of the independent regiment.
