The father of the sword is Kong Jie

This time, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the rapid response force to the North Shanxi Military Region, which was much easier than last time.

There is no need to divide into several batches to carry out secret troop transfers, simply swagger, and follow the established transportation route all the way to northern Shanxi.

These transportation routes have already been opened up during the last time the rapid reaction force pushed all the way to northern Shanxi, and the comrades in the border area are responsible for a solid defense.

Coupled with the fact that the defense zone is deep enough, the passage is relatively secret, and it is located in a site frequently haunted by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army is now gradually exhausted, and they have no extra energy to destroy this transportation passage.

The time Kong Jie and Li Yunlong chose to set off was very appropriate. It happened that the Japanese army officially launched the May [-]st sweep, and they were concentrating on dealing with the battlefields in the five cities of Licheng, Liaoxian, and Shexian, as well as the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Shandong. On the occasion of a large-scale vertical and horizontal blockade.

Even the only air power that the Japanese army can rely on is now confined to the five cities including Licheng, Liao County, and the battlefield where the Taihang base area confronts the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army.

The Devil's fighter jets and bombers had no time to stop the Eighth Route Army's quick reaction force going north.

By the time the devil's reconnaissance plane noticed this situation, it was already too late.

Kong Jie, Li Yonglong and his party have moved all the mechanized combat vehicles to the secret area hidden in the vast base area under the cover of the comrades in the North Shanxi Military Region.

Shanxi Northwest Military Region Command.

In the central courtyard, there was a lot of people talking and the atmosphere was high. What was different from the past was that what everyone in this house was talking about was not about current affairs, but about eating and drinking.

One of the middle-aged men said: "I said Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, you two brats came here at the right time, didn't you find out early in the morning that we are just going to improve the food today, so you rushed over here Bar?"

Another loud voice laughed twice, and said cheerfully: "Brigade Commander Zhang, our old Li is really puzzled by what you said, when did boiled fish with pickled cabbage become an improved meal?
It's not that my old Li is bragging with you, but if I put my new second group with this pickled cabbage and fish, I'm afraid no one will think about it.

why?
The big guy eats meat every day, chicken, fish, duck, and even pork, beef, and lamb in exchange, who cares about this thing! "

Li Yunlong was the one who spoke, and the guests were treated by Brigadier Zhang of the 358th Brigade of the Northwest Military Region, and cadres at all levels of the 120th Division.

It should be said that after Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the rapid response force to surprise Datong last time and assisted the 120th Division in opening up the anti-Japanese situation in northern Shanxi, the 120th Division did take the opportunity to develop to a considerable extent.

This is not only reflected in the progress of the military, but also in the economic development of the base areas.

Not to mention the big ones, just because Kong Jie and Li Yunlong and his party are here now, and the cadres of the Northwest Military Region are able to serve this dish of pickled cabbage and boiled fish.

If it was a few years ago, let alone boiled fish with pickled cabbage, it would be good to have boiled tofu with pickled cabbage.

Just like that, everyone was cooking hot pot, picking up sauerkraut with chopsticks, eating fish, and talking, somehow the topic came to how to open up the situation in northern Shanxi and even Inner Mongolia this time, and complete the designated operations of the general headquarters topic of the task.

A voice sounded:
"In ancient times, Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about heroes by cooking wine with green plums, and now we have our Eighth Route Army cadres discussing the situation of war with pickled vegetables and fish. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

puff-

Others were fine, just a little more surprised. Brigadier Zhang was the most exaggerated, and directly sprayed a mouthful of sauerkraut out of his mouth.

He looked at Li Yunlong in astonishment, and couldn't believe that such words could come out of the mouth of Li Yunlong, who had always been rough in his impression.

If Kong Jie said this, he would also believe it. After all, everyone has seen the transformation of old Kong over the years.

But it just happened to come from Li Yunlong's mouth, which has always been full of fragments.

As for Li Yunlong, who was stimulated by Kong Jie's learning of culture, he also began to work hard. Brigadier Zhang had never heard of the fact that he had been learning culture with Zhao Gang.

"My God, is this still the Li Yunlong I know?"

Brigadier Zhang spoke with emotion.

Lao Li was extremely happy. He enjoyed this cultural change more and more, and the impact it brought to others was even stronger than the joy of beating devils on the battlefield or defeating opponents in martial arts competitions.

I, Li Yunlong, have no culture?
I see who will dare to say that I, Li Yunlong, are uneducated in the future!
Our old Li still wants to leave you speechless culturally!
I saw Captain Li chuckled twice, and said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, look at what you said, I, Li Yunlong, will always be that Li Yunlong.

It's just that there is a saying that is good, it is the first time in three days that you should look at it with admiration.

Our old Li is not that Wuxia Amon! "

"It's amazing, it's amazing!" Brigadier Zhang was amazed.

While sitting around the hot pot and eating pickled fish, everyone began to discuss the current battle situation and the follow-up combat issues after Kong Jie and Li Yunlong led the mobile combat force to the Northwest Military Region.

Speaking of the importance of fighting in Mengxi this time.

Brigadier Zhang expressed his deep opinion: "The boss and the deputy chief of staff are very thoughtful! So far, the victory of the War of Resistance has become more and more promising. Once the little devil is defeated, the Northeast region, which the devil has been operating for many years, will be top priority.

If we don't make a plan early, when the critical moment comes, I'm afraid we will be passive. "

The cadres discussed and quickly settled the topic.

——How to defeat the troops stationed in Mongolia in western Mongolia, respond to anti-mopping ups in Hebei, Shanxi, and Shandong, and open up access to the Northeast region for troop transport.

Brigadier Zhang and his party made an analysis of the situation about the troops stationed in Mongolia in western Mongolia that the troops in northern Shanxi had inquired about during this period.

Brigadier Zhang said: "This time the little devils came with great momentum, only in the Mengxi area. According to our investigation, the devils have used a large number of armored troops.

And there is a so-called elite armored brigade deployed in a strategic location in Mengxi.

This little devil has a high degree of mechanization, and its combat mobility is very strong. We have tried to ambush the devil's troops in Mengxi. As a result, after the ambush started, less than half an hour before and after, the devil's mechanized reinforcements came Arrived.

Coupled with the gentle area of ​​Mengxi, our army almost suffered a big loss.

Since this period of time, due to our lack of mobile units to fight against the devil's armored brigade, related operations in northern Shanxi and western Mengxi have temporarily stopped.

We are also having a headache during this time, how to solve the problem of this mobile armored brigade of the devil. "

"In other words, the so-called armored brigade formed by the devils this time specially mobilized armored forces from all sides of the troops stationed in Manchuria in the western Mengxi area is the most elite team.

If we can smash this team to him, the Mongolian army in Mengxi will basically be able to do nothing. "

While saying these words, Brigadier Zhang's eyes naturally fell on Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

Kong Jie was as low-key as ever and didn't speak.

Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "Brigade Commander Zhang, don't worry, Lao Kong and I came here for this purpose."

It's just that although the words are said, the actual battle situation will not be so easy.

Devil, this is a specially built armored brigade with a large number of tanks.

There are definitely not a few armored vehicles, tanks and various vehicles attached to it.

Even though Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have the most mechanized quick reaction force of the Eighth Route Army.

However, most of the tanks, armored vehicles and various modified combat vehicles owned by this rapid response force still captured the armored vehicles left by the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Datong.

And all kinds of mechanical vehicles seized in various base areas over the years were finally pieced together.

If compared with the devil's chariot brigade, I'm afraid there is still a big gap.

Not to mention that besides this chariot brigade, the little devil can draw more mobile combat troops to reinforce the Mengxi area at any time.

As for the Eighth Route Army, the quick-response force directly under Taihang was the one led by Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, and it was really gone after the fight.

This time it can be regarded as coming out of the nest.

So for Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, this battle must be fought, and the devil's armored brigade must be smashed to pieces.

There is a prerequisite for this:
Try to avoid your own battle damage and consumption. It cannot be said that you defeated the armored brigade of the devils, and as a result, the rapid reaction force directly under Taihang was also burned.

Then this combat mission will become more and more difficult.

The cadres of the 120th Division still vividly remember the performance of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong during the surprise attack on Datong.

Everyone placed special high hopes on the two generals Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

The division commander even said directly: "There are specialties in the field of surgery, and when it comes to the combat of mobile troops, none of our cadres can beat you, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

This time you lead the troops over, it is still the old rules.

How to fight You say that we can't help you in the mechanized combat confrontation with the devils, but for the rest, our Northwest Military Region will fully support you in combat. "

"Haha, teacher, we can rest assured with your words!"

Li Yunlong laughed loudly, and then exchanged glances with Kong Jie, and then Kong Jie still spoke, mainly introducing how to use tactics to deal with the problem of the armored brigade of the Mongolian Army stationed in western Mongolia.

Kong Jie unfolded the military combat map in northern Shanxi and western Mengxi.

Then he said: "The devils have much more armored vehicles than us, their logistics are more sufficient, and their troops are stronger. If we want to deal with the most elite armored brigade of the devils, we must not go head-to-head.

Later, after discussing with Lao Li and the brigade commander, the chief of staff and the boss, they thought that it might be possible to use weekly tactics to deal with the devil's armored brigade. "

"Tactics of the week?"

Brigadier Zhang was a little puzzled, this is indeed a novel vocabulary.

Brigadier Zhang and his party are no strangers to the word "day of the week". The Western Christian week system had been introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty.

It was even used by the Chinese later.

It's just that this week's system has something to do with the military, which is indeed surprising.

Kong Jie explained: "The tactical thinking is actually very simple. Whether the Japanese army is ordinary infantry or the armored troops in front of us, they are human beings after all. This little devil also has to eat to ensure the supply of logistics.

In ancient times, when the two sides were at war, food and grass had always been a core issue, because once people were not full of food, how could they have the strength to fight?

The same is true now.

Every time the devils launch a big raid on our base area, it usually doesn't last too long. The main reason is that as the raid deepens, their logistics supply becomes more and more difficult. Destroy the devil's logistics transportation line.

This caused the Japanese army to maintain the battle with only a small amount of food carried by the troops when the logistics were unsustainable, and the time could not last for too long, usually about a week.

This is especially true for the devil's armored troops. Not only do the armored troops need food and water, but also a large number of armored vehicles and tanks have to be driven. Coupled with the long-distance trek, it will definitely cause a lot of fuel consumption.

So what we have to do is to follow this rule, drag the devil's armored troops first, and pretend to retreat so that the enemy will stretch the front line longer and longer in the continuous pursuit, but it will cause the common fatigue of the man and the tank, and make the enemy energetic lost.

The front stretched for dozens of miles, or even hundreds of kilometers.

At this time, we retreated like a defeated army, and the devils basically chased us to a defeated army.

The timeline also dragged on for about a week, which is around Sunday.

Let's wait for the opportunity to prepare in advance, and the elite armored troops in ambush will defeat the devil's armored brigade in one fell swoop. "

Of course, what Kong Jie said was only a general tactical direction, and there are still many preparations to be made in actual operation.

For example, consider the devil's air force.

This aircraft is the nemesis of tank troops.

In addition, it must be considered that the front line is stretched and the time is continuously extended until after Sunday. Although the devils are tired of people and vehicles, the same situation will be the same with the Eighth Route Army.

This is a problem that must be solved.

And after Sunday, how to attack when counterattacking across the board.

In the ensuing discussion, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had a brainstorming discussion with the cadres on the battle map, and finally decided on the battle plan.

Just when Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Brigadier Zhang were discussing how to defeat the elite armored brigade of the Mengxi devils.

the other side.

Devils are stationed at the headquarters of the Mongolian Army, and the devils commander has also received news that they have detected that the mechanized combat units of the Eighth Route Army have entered the northwestern Shanxi area.

The old devil was also nervous, and first reported the news to Gangcun.

Okamura didn't know the combat intention of the Eighth Route Army's mobile unit going north, but this did not prevent him from being wary of the Eighth Route Army's mobile unit.

Okamura immediately issued a strict order to the troops stationed in Mongolia:

Be sure to stick to the defense area, wait for the opportunity to eliminate the mobile units of the Eighth Route Army going north, and resolutely smash the Eighth Route Army's attempt to detour from the northern Shanxi and Inner Mongolia to the Hebei area.

After all, Okamura was worried that the Eighth Route Army would interfere with his follow-up plan to encircle Jizhong...
