The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 471 Revenge Will Only Be Late, But Never Absent

……

Niukou Village, the resident of the Independent Mission.

On the morning of the 25th, a group of cadres participated in a military meeting at the regiment headquarters, and were ordered by Kong Jie to attack everywhere with guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and ambush warfare with a combat force not exceeding the company level, in retaliation for the Japanese army's recently launched anti-independence campaign. After the Tuanzi's retaliatory sweep.

After the battalion and company commanders returned to their respective camps, they immediately held a corresponding meeting and issued corresponding combat deployments.

This local small-scale battle was finally defined by the commanders of each company as: the counterattack of the independent regiment to retaliate against the Japanese army's sweep.

If the little devil dares to raid the base of our independent regiment, our independent regiment dares to launch a counterattack to retaliate against you, little devil. This is the courage of the independent regiment.

The counterattacks of the various ministries were like an explosion fired outwards. After the rapid expansion, the Japanese army's large and small strongholds and villages and towns around the Independence Regiment's root area were soon severely impacted.

If you look down from God's perspective.

The guerrilla combat zone that originally belonged to the independent regiment was rapidly expanded.

The combat units of the companies under the independent regiment, some with platoons as combat units, and some even with squads as combat units, quickly expanded outwards in the guerrilla zone, targeting some small and medium Japanese strongholds on the periphery.

The large and small strongholds built by the Japanese army relying on road lines and railway lines were originally used to implement the cage policy and oppress the living space of the Eighth Route Army.

If it was in the past, relying on the defense of the built strongholds, coupled with the defense of the gun towers, the Eighth Route Army, which had outdated equipment and scarce ammunition, and did not even have the slightest artillery to attack the fortifications, would naturally be enough.

But now, the little devil is dealing with the independent regiment.

That just doesn't seem like enough.

In some small strongholds, there are very few devils, sometimes less than one squad, and even more puppet troops.

The gun towers built and the various buildings in the stronghold were originally only used to defend against the Tuba Road with outdated equipment. They were only built with masonry structures. How could they block the bombardment of some fortified artillery?

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who were no longer what they used to be, naturally don't have to suffer from the uselessness of the devil's stronghold.

You don't even have to wait until night, since it is a bold counterattack, it must be rampant enough, that is, in broad daylight, when you little devils and puppet soldiers think it is impossible, we will directly surround your stronghold with our flat-firing artillery.

boom -

The shells fired even went into the machine gun holes of the devil's gun tower, and with an explosion, the shells exploded from the inside were more powerful, directly destroying the masonry gun tower.

Under the threat of fortified artillery, this blockhouse, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, now in turn restricts the transfer and movement of the Japanese and puppet troops. It is a bit like a cage, trapping them completely to death.

All the soldiers need to do is catch the turtle in the urn.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers dispatched propaganda officers to directly persuade the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold to surrender.

The devils are not afraid of death, but the puppet army wants to survive, and the two sides have conflicts, and sometimes they even face each other with swords and guns.

The soldiers took the opportunity to capture the gun tower in one fell swoop.

Since the afternoon of the 25th, the troops from all sides of the Independence Regiment, like a spreading tide, quickly encircled all the strongholds of the Japanese army.

According to the local comrades of the surrounding district teams and county brigades, as well as militias and guerrillas in various villages, the independent regiment responded one after another and cooperated with the independent regiment's counter-offensive operations.

Of course, it is easier to deal with local comrades and guerrillas that Kong Jie ordered, mainly some puppet troops in the villages, and traitor organizations such as the Maintenance Association.

Under the cover of the counter-offensive, each unit cooperated with the militia comrades in each village to quickly build a defensive offensive for the village.

The villagers responded positively and helped the Eighth Route Army soldiers dig tunnels and set up traps in the village, preparing to use these tunnels to fight the devils in tunnel warfare.

As for some villages that are closer to the counties and towns of the Japanese army.

The independent group will first send propaganda officers to sneak in secretly, and after getting in touch with the local militia comrades, they will communicate with the local folks.

After gaining the support of the villagers for the Anti-Day, tunnels were further dug and the fortifications of the village were laid.

This step is actually easier than the propaganda cadres of the independent group imagined.

The reason is very simple. During the spring raids, the devils returned home in a big defeat, and were counterattacked by the independent regiment all the way, and fled back to the county.

Having witnessed the bravery of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the common people are more hopeful about the Eighth Route Army's resistance to Japan.

……

Niukou Village.

In the Independent Regiment Headquarters, Kong Jie is currently receiving a dozen village chiefs from surrounding villages.

The two sides have been talking for more than ten minutes.

Kong Jie said with emotion: "Old village chiefs, I won't say too much. Everyone understands the righteousness. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of our Eighth Route Army!"

The old village head of Longwo Village said seriously: "Tuan Zhang, if you say this, you are offended. The Eighth Route Army is our own army. You risk your life to kill the devils and protect the villagers. The villagers can't see it. Keep it all in your heart!"

The old village chief's words were filled with gratitude: "This time the devils launched a big raid, if our Eighth Route Comrades hadn't spread the news in advance and covered us all the way to evacuate, the villagers are afraid that disaster will happen."

"Just focus on this, we can't guarantee anything else, as long as the comrades of our independent regiment want to kill the devils, we will definitely cooperate with us wherever our folks are needed!"

"Okay, okay! Old village chief, let the Eighth Route Army and our fellow villagers work together to eliminate the little devils!" Kong Jie said.

"Destroy the little devil—"

At a glance, the old village chiefs, who are basically over half a hundred years old, responded generously.

After changing the subject, Kong Jie continued: "Old village chiefs, there is one more thing I have to explain to you."

"The current general environment is still that the enemy is strong and we are weak. Although we can conduct tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare in the village, it is difficult to stop the Japanese army's large-scale attack."

"The villagers live in the village, and the village cannot be moved. If the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly launch a surprise attack, we may not be able to respond in time."

"Once the folks in the village help us and are caught by the Japanese army, I'm afraid..."

All the old village chiefs have been here for decades, what ups and downs have they not experienced?

As soon as Kong Jie spoke, the old village chiefs knew what Captain Kong was worried about.

An old village chief smiled confidently: "Head Kong, please rest assured about this. We old bones are not capable of killing devils, but we still have the ability to fool little devils."

"Let's talk about paying taxes and food! The little devils will send traitors into the village to collect food when the time comes, but can the food saved by our folks be eaten by the little devils? Of course not, this is for us Eighth Route Army soldiers anti-Japanese ration."

"The day before the food is ready, we will notify our Eighth Route Army soldiers. Our comrades will take the opportunity to fight into the village, wipe out the puppet army traitors in the village, and then take the food away. We will immediately send people to the village. The county town tipped off the devils."

"But the distance is not close, so there will always be a delay on the way. When the devils come, we soldiers will shoot a few shots at random. The little devils dare not enter the village, so we can only watch helplessly as the food is robbed by our Eighth Route Army comrades.

It's no wonder our folks, it's the little devil who didn't protect himself well, so we can still complain to the little devil, and at the same time reach out to the little devil for a reward for tipping off the news! "

Another village head said, "The little devils can't catch us, so they won't deal with us easily. After all, the devils still need us to farm for them and pay for their military rations."

"But the little devil wants to ask for food from us, how can it be so easy? Faced with the devil's requisition for food, we just use one word, procrastinating, procrastinating, procrastinating, procrastinating, and procrastinating until our Eighth Route Army comrades arrive to transfer the food. "

……

……

"Isn't it just little devils and puppet soldiers? There were so many white dogs, Japanese soldiers, puppet soldiers, and bandits back then that they couldn't be counted. They tossed back and forth in the village. Didn't we still survive?"

A dozen old village chiefs spoke one sentence to another, and Kong Jie who was standing beside him was a little dumbfounded.

Good guy, it is indeed the wisdom of the older generation. These old village chiefs are trying to fool the little devil one by one, and there are really endless tricks.

Kong Jie even suspected that if he was a little devil, he would be taken aback for a while.

Only then did Kong Jie feel relieved, and while feeling the survival wisdom of these old village chiefs, he said:
"Old village chiefs, please rest assured that our Eighth Route Army will never let the villagers fight alone. There will be our militia comrades in each village, as well as comrades from the armed forces team that we arrange to operate behind the enemy lines. These comrades will serve as military personnel to support the village at any time." Force, stay behind the enemy lines, and use it to attack or destroy the Japanese and puppet organizations, so as to consolidate our political power in the village.”

"In the future, some double-faced regimes will gradually be established, supported by puppet troops who have secretly surrendered. As long as there are no major mistakes, our village should not have any major problems."

……

Then, after discussing with the old village chiefs how some villages dealt with the Japanese and puppet troops, Kong Jie personally sent more than a dozen old village chiefs away from the base area.

After sending off the old village chiefs, he turned around and saw the monk. Kong Jie remembered something and asked, "Monk, where is Reporter Shen now?"

The monk replied: "Leader, it seems to be in the guerrilla zone outside of us!"

"What are you doing there?" Kong Jie was suspicious, "Monk, didn't I tell you to look at Reporter Shen?"

The monk said aggrievedly: "Leader, you asked me to watch Reporter Shen, but you also said that as long as it is a place where Reporter Shen can go, the personal freedom of Reporter Shen cannot be restricted."

"The guerrilla zone is what they want to go to. They say they want to film our Eighth Route Army's battles and fight against the Japanese invaders and puppet troops on the spot, as a report material to promote the anti-Japanese war."

Kong Jie nodded, and said, "Forget it, journalists are so pissed, and they don't even fear death when they are busy. If Shen Wenyue really dies on the front line..."

"Leader, why don't you feel so sorry?" The monk came over and said with a smirk, "But please rest assured, reporter Shen, I have arranged for a brother with good skills to protect him."

Kong Jie immediately cursed: "You boy, you dare to arrange me now, come on, come on, just in time for us to practice again while we have nothing to do, we have agreed, we are not allowed to fight back."

Monk: "..."

After practicing with the monk for a while, sweating profusely and feeling completely refreshed, Kong Jie thought about the arrangement in his conference room and checked for omissions.

According to Kong Jie's instructions, the companies and platoons have expanded to the periphery of the guerrilla zone, launching sneak attacks on small and medium-sized Japanese strongholds with local guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and ambush warfare.

In addition, the commando, sniper platoon, bombing team and other special combat units directly under the regiment are dispatched to each company and platoon to cooperate in operations.

Needless to say, the sniper platoon continued to use sniper team tactics to trap the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, so that the Japanese and puppet troops did not dare to leave the stronghold easily and provide support to the surrounding strongholds.

Under the arrangement of Ye Min, the commando team specially formed an artillery raid team, using [-] small artillery to cooperate with snipers, to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, as well as the devil troops who dared to leave the county.

Under the leadership of Wang Gensheng, the bombing team is gradually transforming.

The members were equipped with a grenade thrower. When they first saw this grenade thrower, they could easily throw a grenade similar to a grenade to a distance of about 150 meters.

Wang Gensheng realized that if the bombing team did not transform, it would probably be directly replaced by this kind of projectile.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng applied to Kong Jie for a grenade thrower, equipped it with team members, and received special training.

At close range, the soldiers still throw grenades by hand, so as to quickly throw firepower, and at a longer distance, they are covered with rifle grenade firepower.

The entire bombing team seemed to be built into a mobile fort.

This is one of the tactics developed by Wang Gensheng.

In addition, inspired by the guard company's fight against the Ishii unit, Wang Gensheng also developed various tactics in which the grenadier cooperates with submachine guns and shell guns to quickly clean up the enemy's trench fortifications.

Finally, there are comrades from the cavalry company led by Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian.

On the one hand, it is gradually transitioning from cavalry to mechanized synthetic corps.

On the other hand, the comrades of the cavalry company cooperated with the companies and platoons, borrowed the high-speed maneuver of the cavalry, quickly interspersed and turned around, raided and ambushed the Japanese and puppet troops.

Under the mysterious means, the devils and puppet troops were beaten and complained endlessly, but when they left the county town, no matter if it was a transport team or a small combat unit, they would encounter an ambush on the way at some point.

The ambushing troops had fierce firepower, powerful artillery fire, and fierce attacks.

Coupled with the adoption of a fast-paced style of play, if you can eat it, eat it quickly, clean the battlefield, and then evacuate in time. After the sneak attack that cannot be eaten, it will disappear without a trace relying on the surrounding terrain and features in a blink of an eye. .

All that was left to the devils and puppet soldiers were corpses and fear.

By the 28th, many small strongholds were directly pulled out, sections of railway tracks disappeared, roads and bridges were bombed, and maintenance associations in surrounding villages and villages were hit and wiped out.

The Japanese army finally realized that this was the revenge of the Independence Regiment...
