Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

"Report to the regiment commander, there is news from the front line that the Japanese have continued to advance towards our base area according to our preset route."

Kong Jie's plan of showing weakness to the enemy was successfully implemented.

After the two infantry guns appeared as bait, the Japanese army no longer doubted that the main combat forces of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment were blocking the way.

But it still couldn't stop the Japanese offensive.

The old Japanese soldier Nan Yuan became more and more arrogant, and was lured step by step into the ambush circle tailored for him by Kong Jie.

More and more Eighth Route Army troops appeared along the way to block the way.

However, facing the superior artillery fire of the Japanese field battalion, they basically collapsed at the first touch.

This further encouraged the Japanese devil Nan Yuan to become more rampant.

"Just a bunch of local guerrillas, nothing more than that!"

The more victories the Japanese won along the way, the less the Japanese invaders Nan Yuan took the Eighth Route Army seriously.

The main force of the Japanese field battalion quickly advanced to the central defense zone of the independent regiment's base.

In the forests on both sides of the mountain road somewhere in the central line defense zone.

Li Yunlong led the main force of the independent regiment and had been lurking and waiting here for a long time.

Compared with Kong Jie, Li Yunlong was undoubtedly more eager for this battle.

In the battle of Cangyun Ridge, he was removed from his position as regiment leader because he confronted the Sakata Regiment head-on and chose to break out of the encirclement from the front, disobeying orders from his superiors. He was transferred to the rear and was appointed factory director by the service chief. He was already full of grievances.

As a result, his superiors had originally agreed to transfer him to the independent regiment as the head of the regiment.

Who would have thought that when he arrived at the place, he became the deputy head of the group.

He also gave the former recruit Kong Erlangzi the job of deputy.

Li Yunlong felt even more depressed.

During the days he spent in the independent regiment, Li Yunlong had to admit that Kong Jie had made rapid progress, and in many aspects he even felt impressed and felt he could not catch up.

The feeling in my heart became even worse.

If he doesn't hurry up and leave the independent regiment to lead the troops, Li Yunlong will be completely defeated.

As an old comrade-in-arms, Kong Jie is of course very considerate.

He gave full authority to Li Yunlong to command the front-line combat ambushing of the Japanese Namwon Battalion.

This military achievement is to be given to Li Yunlong.

For Li Yunlong, whether he can turn things around depends entirely on this battle.

"Where are the Japs?"

After temporarily putting aside these complicated thoughts, Li Yunlong turned to the second battalion commander Shen Quan beside him and asked.

During the Long March, Shen Quan served as a battalion commander under Li Yunlong, and was considered an old subordinate of Li Yunlong.

The two were naturally no strangers.

Shen Quan also addressed Li Yunlong differently: "Old Commander, the reconnaissance troops ahead have sent us news that the Japanese are less than two miles away from us."

Li Yunlong nodded and ordered, "Tell the comrades to be alert and wait until the Japanese are completely trapped in the ambush circle before opening fire. No one is allowed to shoot without my order."

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Li Yunlong checked his arrangements again.

As a veteran who has been on many battlefields, he is naturally good at small ambushes.

The chosen mountain road was extremely suitable for ambush. The mountain road was narrow, and the forests on both sides were lush and green. The main force of a regiment was hidden in it. From a distance, no flaws could be seen.

And the specific ambush deployment.

It is not simply not the case that the ambush troops are hidden in the woods on both sides of the mountain road.

After discussion, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong finally decided to divide the ambush force into four parts:

The two flanking teams, with nearly 60% of the ambush force, were lurking in the woods on the left and right wings of the mountain road, ensuring that after the firepower was deployed at a certain angle, they could form a cross-fire network against the Japanese army from a high position.

Another tail-attack team and a blocking team each account for 20% of the troops.

They are responsible for the plugging and ending respectively.

The four ambush teams turned the entire ambush circle into a large pocket, trapping the Japanese in it in one go.

In addition, the position is divided into two lines.

On the ridges of the hillsides on both sides of the mountain road are forward combat fortifications.

By deploying troops on the frontier fortifications, we can observe the situation of the Japanese army with the most intuitive vision, and at the same time take advantage of the high ground to fully exert direct firepower.

But the disadvantage is that the Japanese direct firepower can also directly counterattack the forward fortifications on both wings.

The Japs are not that stupid.

When the Japanese were advancing, they would often arrange some vanguard troops to conduct reconnaissance along the way in advance to ensure that there were no ambushes by the Eighth Route Army.

Their common method is fire reconnaissance.

- Use grenade launcher firepower and machine guns to fire and bombard the hillside ridges on both sides of the mountain road.

In this case, once there are enemies lurking on the ridges of the hillsides on both sides of the mountain road, they will immediately suffer casualties under the coverage of the Japanese reconnaissance firepower and be exposed in advance.

The Japanese army's rear-positioned artillery fire could take the opportunity to launch an attack.

The Eighth Route Army's proactive ambush advantage was lost in an instant.

It is possible that the team originally preparing to ambush the Japanese army would be wiped out by the devils instead.

Therefore, in response to this situation, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, after discussion and analysis, proposed a new ambush plan that was more suitable for guarding against Japanese firepower reconnaissance:

On the high slopes on both sides of the mountain road, that is, on the frontier fortifications, only a small number of sentries were left for reconnaissance.

The ambush troops on both wings were lurking in an area about 100 meters behind the front fortifications to ensure they avoided the Japanese artillery reconnaissance.

After the Japanese completed their fire reconnaissance, the ambush troops lurking in the rear, based on the information transmitted by the sentinels at the frontline fortifications, quickly rushed to the frontline fortifications before the main force of the Japanese army arrived at the ambush circle.

Start fighting!

This is the ambush deployment Li Yunlong arranged at this moment.

Before the main force of the Japanese army officially arrived, there were only a small number of sentries conducting reconnaissance on the frontier fortifications.

Soon after.

Lieutenant Colonel Nanyuan, who repelled the Eighth Route Army's attack for the twelfth time, held his head high and proudly led the main force to appear in Li Yunlong's field of vision.

It took less than an hour for the Namwon Battalion to successfully break through the outer blockade zone of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

And directly advanced to the central defense zone of the Eighth Route Army.

Lieutenant Colonel Nanyuan said to the Japanese soldiers around him proudly: "If everything goes well, we may be able to completely destroy the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment. After destroying the Independent Regiment, we can return to the county town and catch up with dinner!"

Soon, the Japanese approached this unnamed mountain road.

Looking at the towering peaks and dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.

After all, Lieutenant Colonel Nanyuan, who graduated from the island country's military academy, immediately sensed the threat of this terrain with his keen military sense.

The adjutant nearby understood what he meant and immediately arranged a reconnaissance team to advance first and conduct fire reconnaissance on the forests on both sides of the mountain road.

Boom——

Da da da da——

A dozen Japanese soldiers used five grenade launchers and three light machine guns to bombard and straf the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.

Amid the sound of gunfire, trees on both sides of the mountain were broken and rocks were flying everywhere.

No human figure was seen.

Some birds were frightened and flew away in panic - there were only a small number of sentries at the forward fortifications, and their camouflage skills were sophisticated. They did not move at all, and the birds could not detect them.

The main force is hiding more than 100 meters behind the side!

After seeing this scene, the old Japanese soldier Nanyuan, who had been on high alert, finally relaxed.

It seems that he is overthinking.

"keep going!"

(Brothers, update is resumed! Hehe)
