The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 445 The one who can bother you the most is Kong Jie
This local battle, which was too small to be recorded in the annals of history, soon turned into a one-sided battle.

It took less than 10 minutes before and after.

The battle rages from start to finish.

The Tiancun Squadron originally came to reinforce the Wilderness Squadron, but fell into the trap of the Independent Regiment and the Xinyi Regiment, and the entire army was wiped out in the dirt slope area.

Devil Squadron Leader Tamura was also beaten into a sieve by machine guns during the death charge shouting "Long Live".

Until his death, Tamura could not understand why his initial bombardment failed to cause much damage to the Eighth Route Army in front of him.

It turned out that it was long before Tamura arrived with the Devil Squadron.

When Lei Dasheng and Xu Lianzhong ordered some soldiers to stay on the fortifications, pretending to clean up the battlefield, and lure the devils to attack, they dug foxholes behind the fortifications in advance.

The soldiers used to avoid the shells of the devils.

In addition, only part of the troops were left in the fortifications to paralyze the Japanese army.

The main force retreated to the second-line position [-] meters away from the fortification, and waited until the devil's bombardment was over before returning to the fortification to block.

Using the field of vision of the slope to cover up, the Devil Squadron was unaware of this.

It wasn't until the battle started that Tamura realized that he had fallen into a trap. Together with the Eighth Route Army soldiers on both sides, they quickly cut off the retreat of Tamura Squadron.

Since then, Tamura Squadron has been doomed.

The westward area on the other side.

A platoon leader led the soldiers, relying on the terrain of the mountainous area, blocking the Sato Squadron coming from the west, buying time for the main force to destroy the Tamura Squadron in the east.

The first platoon leader does not have many troops here, only 42 soldiers, but the combat mission of the first platoon leader is not to confront the Japanese army head-on, but only needs to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops with the help of terrain and features.

This is not difficult given that the soldiers in the row are well-equipped and have plenty of ammunition.

When blocking the attack, the platoon leader ordered to divide the soldiers into five combat teams, deploy them in different directions, and then directly attack the Sato Squadron with powerful firepower.

With the help of the cover of the mountains and forests, coupled with the strong firepower of a row, the direction is different, and they are always moving in combat, fighting in motion.

The devils didn't know how many Eighth Route Army troops were lurking in the forest for a while, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

When the sound of the battle came from the eastward slope area, Sato, the leader of the Devil Squadron, judged that it should be the Tamura Squadron and the Eighth Route Army that had exchanged fire.

The old devil Sato also imagined that the Tamura Squadron could quickly kill the Eighth Route Army that was entangled with him, and then flank his own team back and forth to eliminate the Eighth Route Army that was blocking him.

After nearly 10 minutes passed in a blink of an eye, the sound of fighting in the eastward slope area completely stopped.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the gunfire has stopped. Could it be that the Tamura Squadron has wiped out the opposing Eighth Route Army?"

The adjutant judged this way, he didn't think about the worst situation.

Sato was a little hesitant. Logically speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army is by no means comparable to that of the Tubalu.

But since the start of this big raid, his brigade has suffered a lot in the hands of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment.

This iron triangle of the Eighth Route Army is definitely a hard stubble, subverting Sato's previous perception of the Eighth Route Army with backward equipment and scarce ammunition.

Along the way, all the eight roads encountered are well-equipped and powerful in firepower. How can this be like the earth's eight roads?It's just a regular army.

Sato even encountered a militia squad on the road, with a total of only a dozen people, and there was even a grenadier in hand, which shot at his Sato squadron from a long distance, and then turned around and retreated.

This shocked Sato. When did grenadiers become so cheap in the Eighth Route Army?
"The situation is still uncertain. By the way, have the scouts we sent out to contact the Tamura Squadron come back?"

"No one has come back yet!" the adjutant said.

Sato frowned and said: "We are not too far away from the position of the Tamura Squadron. Calculate the time, and the speed of the scouts should have returned. In this way, just in case, immediately contact Tamura by radio and ask them where is the place?" What's the situation."

"Hi!"

Devils' high-power radios are only equipped to brigades and above, but portable radio communication equipment, which can be easily carried by one or two people and used for short-distance communication, is more common.

After Sato gave the order, the communicator sent out a communication by radio, but the communication signal was like a mud cow into the sea, and no feedback was received.

"Report sir, there is no response from Tamura Squadron!"

"not good!"

Sato's heart skipped a beat. Even though the Eighth Route Army not far away still fired again from time to time, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Immediately scout the two wings to ensure the safety of the back!"

Sato came back to his senses, worried that he would be cut off by Balu.

Soon, the scouts who went to the two wings came back in a hurry and reported: "Report sir, the left wing found an Eighth Route detour!"

"Sir, there is an Eighth Army on the right wing rushing forward."

Da-da-da-

On the soil slope more than 300 meters away, the machine gunner of the Eighth Route Army who was blocking the attack changed positions again and began to shoot suddenly.

Sato suddenly realized that he would never be fooled again, he looked east towards the slope and sighed: "Now it seems that Mr. Tamura may have been broken, these cunning eight roads are restrained from the front, and the wings are outflanked, it is really hateful. "

"Order the troops to make a strategic transfer immediately, to ensure that the two wings are guarded, and to ensure that the rear is not cut off by the Eighth Route."

"Hi!"

It has to be said that the old devil Sato's reaction was quite quick. After realizing Eight Route's intentions, he chose to retreat without hesitation, directly using the mountains and forests to throw off the blocking Eight Route, and jumped out of the encirclement circle of soldiers on both sides. go out.

The speed of the devils was not slow. In the end, the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment and the Independent Regiment encircled by the two wings only bit the rear guard of Sato Squadron.

The two sides exchanged fire for several minutes, and the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than [-] casualties.

Sato was afraid that the Eighth Route would repeat the same trick, and once again made a roundabout outflank, and quickly ordered to retreat to join the main sweeping force.

It wasn't until Sato led the team to withdraw to the high slope two miles away, and the startled Sato ordered the troops to stop and slow down. Then he took a telescope to look at the direction of the way, and looked at the eight roads that were moving rapidly on the two wings. Sato I have lingering fears.

so close!

If he is half a point slower, his Sato Squadron may end up in the same fate as Tamura Squadron.

Xu Lianzhong and Lei Dasheng who reunited felt a little regretful.

Lei Dasheng cursed and said: "Damn it, this little devil looks like a loach, but he is slippery enough, and he runs really fast."

Xu Lianzhong said: "The devil probably sensed our intentions and withdrew early."

"If it wasn't for the devil's army being surrounded, if the little devil wanted to withdraw, there was nothing we could do."

Lei Dasheng nodded, then changed the subject and said, "First we took out a squadron of devils in the Tupo area, and then went back to take out another squadron that was reinforced by the Japanese army."

"Deputy Commander Xu, this actual battle proves that our outflanking tactics are absolutely feasible. I think our two teams can continue to move forward together without being too far apart."

"If one side encounters the Japanese army, they will find a way to entangle the devils, and the other side will go around in time and cooperate to encircle and wipe out the enemy army."

"That's exactly what I meant." Xu Lianzhong laughed loudly.

The tactics of interspersed, detoured, divided, and outflanked continued under the command of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army.

At first, it was partial, but soon evolved into an overall tactical adjustment.

Whether it is in the mountainous area halfway from Xicun to Xinyi Regiment, or along the way from Zhangjiazhuang to Xiner Regiment.

The commanders of the Eighth Route Army cooperated in tacit understanding.

In the direction of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the spirit of the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade and the Ishii Wing was lost.

Kong Jie also ordered some troops to be transferred from various nodes to reinforce the combat troops and outflank the Japanese troops in all directions in the mountainous area.

The battle surrounding Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang intensified, and the situation became more and more chaotic. With the arrival of reinforcements from both the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army, more and more troops were invested in the Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang areas.

The cooperation between Lei Dasheng and Xu Lianzhong, interspersed with roundabout tactics, is just a microcosm of the overall battle situation.

With the tacit cooperation, the commanders of the Eighth Route Army started a frantic outflanking and harvesting mode against the Japanese army.

to around [-]pm.

In the direction of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, several new Eighth Route Army forces were injected:
The new Fifth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army came from the direction of Xiaoshan Village, and the [-]nd Regiment, one of the two main regiments of the Eighth Route Army, came from the direction of Xiaosongpo.

Later, after learning about the battle surrounding Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, who had been making trouble in the rear of the Japanese army, also led the troops to return to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

……

New group.

Ding Wei led a battalion commander, Sun Zhenguo, and ambushed the troops returning to the county town from the Japanese army many times on the way, and even set up ambushes at the same place several times.

The reputation of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the head of the Xinyi Regiment, Ding Wei, was also gradually revealed in the rear.

……

New Second Regiment

Not to mention Li Yunlong, he was the one who tossed the most in the devil's rear, not only taking advantage of the empty troops in the devil's rear, he took down counties and villages.

Wherever he went, it was to implement the tradition of the old Red Army.

Japanese and puppet organizations, such as traitor detection teams, maintenance associations, etc., can be robbed by Li Yunlong several times back and forth.

In the area under the jurisdiction of the devils, Li Yunlong has become a big family of obedient people, but Li Yunlong will not be soft on anyone who exploits the people and oppresses the village on weekdays.

Beat local tyrants and punish bullies.

Confiscating homes, digging up floating wealth, digging up prisoners' wealth, in order to enrich the family fortune of the new second regiment, Lao Li even played the method of kidnapping, squeezing out all the usable value of those hateful landlords and Lao Cai.

Before leaving, Lao Li threatened the traitors in the devil-occupied area again, threatening to write down red and black accounts.

Whoever does too many bad things, the Eighth Route Army will come back to settle accounts with him sooner or later.

With a cool wave, Li Yunlong bid farewell to the reluctant people.

This trip can be regarded as earning a lot of money.

Coupled with the treasures dug out with those few mine detectors, Li Yunlong's eyes were filled with joy on the way back to the base after the fuss was over from the devil's rear.

"Hey, damn it, our old Li got rich this time, look, old Zhao will be very happy when we go back."

"So who, take care of the infantry gun that was dug up, if a part is missing, I will scold my mother."

……

Near Yangquan, the three veteran battalion commanders of the Independence Regiment, Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, and Wang Huaibao, started a mobile battle with the devils after the main force of the Japanese army continued to return to the county.

The Japanese army returned to aid Yangquan, and the three of Shen Quan turned back to Shouyang.

The Japanese army returned to Shouyang in a hurry, and the three of Shen Quan went to the vicinity of Yangquan.

It's just hanging the devils behind their buttocks to eat ashes, and pulling out many small and medium-sized shortcomings of the Japanese army along the way.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, according to the news from the local area, the regiment commander and the others seem to have started to counterattack, and the scale of the battle surrounding Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang is continuously expanding."

When the news reached the ears of the three battalion commanders, Shen Quan immediately said: "It's time to go back. We have been making trouble in the rear of the devils for so long, and we can hardly carry the captured equipment and supplies."

"The head of the group launched a counterattack. This is a predetermined signal with us. Now we must immediately return to help and cooperate with the head of the further battle."

"Okay!" Wang Leihu and Wang Huaibao responded.

The three battalion commanders made up their minds and immediately led the troops on their way home.

The team going back was much stronger than when they came, many of them were soldiers recruited from the county, and some local comrades and militia comrades followed the three battalions along the way to eat meat and drink soup, how could they be willing to leave?
In this way, with the rapid withdrawal of troops such as Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Shen Quan, they returned to aid.

The situation in the entire northwest of Shanxi changed again. At this time, the main force of the Japanese army returned to the county seat in the rear, leaving some troops around the base area.

Around the Taihang base area, the situation between the raiding troops and the raiding troops quietly reversed.

The Japanese army rushed back to help the county town in the rear, but they were always in a passive situation.

It wasn't until the devils regained control of the county that they discovered that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had long since disappeared.

Logically speaking, if the main force of the devils returns to aid the county, then this big raid can be declared over.

The devil officers who continued to raid the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were unwilling to do so. Even if the main force retreated, they still wanted to continue to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army.

With this delay, the devil pushed himself to the forefront.

When the Japanese army came back to their senses and wanted to withdraw the troops besieged around the base of the Eighth Route Army.

Only then did they realize in a panic that the remaining troops had been completely bitten by the sudden counterattack launched by the Eighth Route Army.

The first to take the first bite was naturally the three regiments of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.

This sudden bite was not only unexpected by the devil, but also by the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters.

Brigade.

Using the map, they analyzed the situation around Niukou Village for nearly half an hour. The brigade commander, chief of staff, and political commissar looked at each other with wry smiles and surprises in the corners of their eyes.

"It's Kong Jie again, brigade commander, I can see now that among the commanders of our brigade, Kong Jie is the most troublesome kid.

We originally thought that his independent regiment would defend around its own base area, and it would be enough to deal with the Japanese army's sweep. "

"Who would have thought that people could make such a fuss in front of their own house."

"The battle surrounding the West Village and Zhangjiazhuang area is intensifying. If this continues, I want to see if Kong Jie can stay in the field."

The chief of staff who spoke first teased.

The political commissar said with a smile: "In any case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages at the moment. With Kong Jie making such a fuss, the main force of the Japanese army returned to the rear, together with the rest of the mopping up troops, they all sent reinforcements to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, which greatly eased our situation. The anti-sweeping pressure of the troops around the base area."

"It can be said that Kong Jie's move directly saved the surrounding troops."
