The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 509 Two strikes in Ping'an County, the top exhibition of the military flag (ask for a monthly ticket)
On an open plain it would be foolish for mere infantry to attempt to throw off cavalry in motion.

At this moment, the Japanese and puppet troops, seeing the door wide open in the rear, burst into the idea of ​​survival. On the way to retreat, they were like a herd of sheep that was gradually becoming chaotic under the siege of wild beasts.

The beasts began to divide, besiege and kill it.

The same is true for the current Japanese and puppet troops.

Under the assault from the two wings of the cavalry company, the retreating Japanese and puppet troops continued to suffer casualties. The heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery carried by the devil team could not be taken away during the hasty retreat. Under the suppression of firepower, it was impossible to effectively blow up, and some even had to be discarded on the road to be captured by the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, if the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to escape completely from the open plain in front of them, they had to run at least nearly 800 meters.

During this period, the mobility of cavalry and mechanized troops was enough to attack Japanese troops N times.

As the Japanese defensive formation was dispersed by cavalry units.

Hideo Murai and Nobuyoshi Mishima finally realized how stupid it was to give an order to retreat under the situation in front of them.

Originally defending on the spot and stabilizing the formation, they might be able to fight to the death, and at worst, they could severely damage the ambushing Eighth Route Army troops in front of them.

Fortunately for now, with the rapid collapse of the retreating formation of the Japanese and puppet troops, the Japanese army even lost the capital to challenge the Eighth Route Army in the end.

The two fire teams of the cavalry company, the carriage carrying the heavy machine gun, galloped on both sides of the Japanese army, wandering back and forth, and the heavy machine gun roared wildly.

The heavy machine gunners squatting on the carriage held their heavy machine guns, turned their guns, and fired continuously at the Japanese troops on the flanks. Their calves were a little numb, but they couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and the joy of killing the enemy.

This scene is shocking,
Totally one-sided massacre.

The captain of the devil group commanding in the group of devils soon had only one left.

The unlucky Mishima Nobuyoshi was hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, directly piercing through the heart, and died on the spot.

The cavalry soldiers chased and fought, but the Japanese puppet army was only delayed for a moment. Shen Quan and Wang Leihu led two battalions of soldiers to kill them.

The final battle line stretched for nearly a kilometer, from the middle and rear of this wide plain terrain, to the entrance of the valley.

After the devils and puppet soldiers were slaughtered, the mutilated corpses almost spread into a long dragon.

Until the stormtroopers of the cavalry company rushing in quickly completely blocked the valley exit from this plain terrain, the remaining 500 Japanese puppet troops (most of them were puppet troops) finally despaired.

The encirclement and annihilation battle that evolved again lasted less than 10 minutes, and the battle was declared over.

As a result of the final battle, the two Japanese brigades were wiped out on this desolate plain.

The puppet army surrendered, wounded and captured more than [-] people.

On the side of the Independent Regiment, there were a total of more than [-] casualties. Among them, the soldiers of the cavalry company only suffered more than [-] casualties with the help of their rapid mobility. Among them, less than [-] soldiers were killed or seriously injured.

Nearly 1:30 death toll ratio.

This is undoubtedly a huge victory.

In this battle, the soldiers of the [-]st Battalion and the [-]nd Battalion are obvious to all, and the cavalry company and the motorized troops have played an irreplaceable role.

On the one hand, it took the lead in suppressing the artillery positions of the Japanese army, avoiding the artillery bombardment of the main force of the first and second battalions.

On the other hand, with the help of high-speed mobility, the withdrawal of the Japanese army was blocked, so that the two Japanese brigades were wiped out.

Not only that, but with only about 400 people, the semi-mechanized heavy troops of the independent regiment composed of cavalry companies and motorized troops killed nearly one-third of the enemy troops in this battle. two.

The advanced cavalry company's powerful combat effectiveness in this battle is shocking.

It's no wonder that after the battle, when cleaning the battlefield, the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan patted Sun Desheng on the shoulder with emotion:

"After this battle, Old Sun, your reputation as a semi-mechanized heavy-armored unit is solid. This unit will surely become the trump card unit of our independent regiment. You, Old Sun, have lived up to the expectations of the regiment leader!"

……

The breaking news spread quickly.

When Nobuyoshi Mishima and Hideo Murai were ambushed by the Independence Regiment, they also used the radio to transmit the news back to the Yangquan headquarters in the rear.

As a result, the communication was cut off shortly thereafter.

What this means can be imagined.

The devil officers of the Yangquan Command fell silent after being unable to communicate with the troops of Hideo Murai and Nobuyoshi Mishima.

……

Brigade.

The brigade commander slammed his fist on the table and raised his eyebrows, "The puppet army of more than 3000 days, including two full-staffed Japanese brigades, was wiped out in one fell swoop. The main force lured the enemy from the front, and the cavalry attacked from the flanks. This battle was really exciting, good, good !"

"I really want to see how that kid Kong Jie directed and arranged this battle."

The Chief of Staff said: "Brigade Commander, I heard that most of this battle was due to the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment.

This time, the two battalions that Shen Quan and the others ambushed had [-] soldiers each, and they didn't even have a cannon.

But the Japanese army followed up with an artillery squadron, accompanied by more than a dozen artillery pieces.

But even under such circumstances, the Independence Regiment still wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in one fell swoop, with a death toll ratio of almost 1:30. Such a victory is outrageous.

Sometimes I can't believe that such a battle was commanded by Kong Jie. "

The brigade commander said with a smile: "This battle was very exciting. Kong Jie reported to me a while ago that he was training the cavalry company in the regiment to transform it into a semi-mechanized heavy army."

"I originally thought that the so-called semi-mechanized heavy equipment that Kong Jie was tossing about was cavalry plus some mechanical transport tools."

"In this battle, Kong Jie showed all of us with practical actions that the transformed cavalry company is terrifying."

"In this battle, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a record with pure cavalry."

The political commissar laughed heartily, "Yes, after the spring sweep, this is another major victory for our army."

"This time, the three regiments of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei have made a good start for our Eighth Route Army troops and broke through the Japanese defense first."

"The battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area has been going on for some time. Now we have made some disturbances. Finally, the national army and the Jinsui army can take a good look. Although our main force of the Eighth Route did not reinforce Jinnan, but here Behind the enemy lines, we are not idle."

The chief of staff interrupted, "Well, wait a minute, brigade commander, political commissar, didn't you say just now that the three bastards, Kong Jie, are too troublesome, and after this battle, the three of them must be called Come and train."

"Why did you praise all three of them in the blink of an eye?"

The political commissar smiled and said, "A merit is a merit, a demerit is a demerit, but the three comrades of Kong Jie are doing far more meritorious deeds than their demerits. How can the brigade commander and I punish them?"

But the brigade commander stared and said: "If you should be punished, you will have to be punished. If you win the battle, you don't have to be punished. Why don't these three bastards put their tails up in the sky?"

After all, the brigade commander himself found it interesting, and couldn't help laughing again.

"To be honest, this naughty child has the advantage of being naughty. If all the team leaders under him become naughty, they can achieve some results like Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei. I don't worry about it. gone."

"I'm afraid that the other regiment leaders will see Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei's regiment take the initiative to attack and make a profit. If they try to imitate it in a decent manner, it will be a bad thing if they fail to draw tigers as anti-dogs."

……

……

"Traps, they are all traps. These nasty Tuba Roads are aimed at the reinforcements."

Taiyuan City, the enemy's highest command.

Nobutoshi Kawaguchi, deputy chief of staff of the Devils, was furious when he received the news that multiple reinforcements to Ping'an County were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy casualties.

News has also come from the direction of Ping'an County not long ago, saying that the Eighth Route troops from all sides that had besieged Ping'an County were suspected of retreating.

But the fact is that since the siege of Ping'an County, the Eighth Route Army, except for firing a few shots at Ping'an County with infantry artillery, seemed to be just a feint attack, and did not even break through the city gate.

On the contrary, the reinforcements from all walks of life were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army relying on the terrain and features on the way, and suffered heavy losses.

So far, how can the Japanese side fail to understand that the siege of Ping'an County was just a gimmick brought out by the Eighth Route Army to encircle and aid from the beginning.

But the little devil fell for it.

In other words, Nobutoshi Chuankuwa was not fooled. Based on the experience of this old devil, at first he also expected that the eight roads might be in the surrounding area to fight for aid.

But he just doesn't believe in evil, just like all the little devils who are used to winning battles in front of the national army and have raised an arrogant character.

Kawakubo Nobutoshi believes that even if it is a trap set by the Eighth Route Army, it can be easily broken by the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

He even went for the purpose of completely annihilating the Eighth Route Army that besieged Ping'an County.

It's just that he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army troops, or underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment, New First Regiment, and New Second Regiment, the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi.

In the end, the reinforcements from all sides of the Japanese army arrived in Ping'an County, and only one group of reinforcements arrived in Ping'an County. After arriving, seeing that the crisis in Ping'an County had been resolved, they returned angrily.

A siege and aid operation around Ping'an County, centered on the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Northwest China, came to an end.

Preliminary statistics from the Japanese side show that the troops from all sides to reinforce Ping'an County were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops on the way, causing more than five brigades to be injured or injured.

The three puppet legions were completely wiped out, nearly one-third surrendered, and the other two-thirds were wiped out.

The Eighth Route Army joined forces with local and militia forces, and while ambushing, they took advantage of the defeat of the Japanese army to launch raids in some areas, completely destroying many bridges, railway tracks, and roads.

The Japanese army's communication lines in the guerrilla areas around the Iron Triangle were once paralyzed.

The so-called reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County now look more like sending equipment to the Eighth Route Army.

All the artillery of an artillery squadron of the Japanese army from Yangquan reinforcements to Ping'an County fell into the hands of the independent regiment.

Such an astonishing seizure, it is said that the headquarters could not sit still after hearing about it.

Some leaders patted their thighs and praised, and laughed happily, "Now the artillery of the artillery regiment of the headquarters is in place."

The deputy general staff said with a smile: "Leader, the artillery that Kong Jie finally seized, let's call it directly, isn't that good?"

The leader snorted and said, "Why, his independent regiment has pulled out two artillery companies, and he is still not satisfied, thinking that the entire artillery regiment will fail? If that boy Kong Jie has any objections, let him come directly to the headquarters to find I."

……

Kong Jie did not expect that the captured artillery would not be warmed up in the independent regiment.

Although the battle to encircle and fight aid around Ping'an County has ended.

But Captain Kong obviously didn't intend to stop there.

In the afternoon of the same day, the troops responsible for fighting and aiding from various ministries returned to their respective garrisons one after another for a temporary rest.

Kong Jie suddenly issued an order to the battalion headquarters, telling the soldiers to take the time to rest and prepare for night battles after dark.

When the news came, several battalion commanders were stunned.

night battle?

Isn't this just the end of the siege and aid, which severely damaged the Japanese army's multiple reinforcements?
Kong Jie’s explanation for this is only one sentence, “This time it’s not just a joke. There is only one goal. The attack will be launched at [-] o’clock in the morning. Together with the commandos who are still hiding in the city and comrades from the enemy’s Ministry of Industry, we should cooperate internally and externally to break through Ping’an County in one fell swoop. .”

"I want to see the military flag belonging to our independent regiment planted on the top of the city of Ping'an County before the sun rises tomorrow."

After hearing this, the five battalion commanders and five tiger generals of the independent regiment immediately understood what the regimental commander meant.

This is to take advantage of the fact that the battle has just ended and the attention of all parties is still immersed in the daytime siege and reinforcements, and take Ping'an County in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

Nothing to say.

One word - absolutely!

Not to mention devils and puppet soldiers, even the battalion commanders of the independent regiment did not expect the regiment commander to do this trick.

This is really false and true, true and false, whether to fight Ping'an County or not, will completely confuse the devils.

In this way, after Kong Jie's order was issued, the soldiers of the independent regiment quickly seized the time to rest. During the day and afternoon, they collectively slept in the bunk to recharge their energy and recharge their batteries. After eating a full dinner with meat.

At ten o'clock in the evening, with the still bright moonlight, we set off in the direction of Ping'an County.

At two o'clock in the morning, the battle of the two strikes in Ping'an County quickly kicked off.

Everything was as Kong Jie expected.

Even the battalion commanders of the independent regiment were a little confused by the sudden order to attack Ping'an County, let alone the Japanese and puppet troops who had just experienced the siege and rescue operations.

It was two o'clock in the morning.

The battle broke out suddenly, and the independent regiment was divided into four teams, and they attacked the square gate of Ping'an County at the same time.

The sudden fire attack came as fast as lightning.

In addition, the commando members lurking in the city and some comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry cooperated with the puppet army who had been instigated in advance to respond at night and opened the city gate in advance.

Until the gates of the Sifang City were breached one after another, the devils and puppet soldiers defending the city hadn't even recovered from their sleep.

At the same time, the news spread like a tide——Ping'an County fell and was captured by the Independence Regiment.

It also made the Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan City, Yangquan County, Tan County and other counties sleepless all night.

until dawn the next day.

The military flag belonging to the Eighth Route Army was planted on the top of the gate of Ping'an County.

There is also a flag, which is a special military flag for the Independence Regiment specially made by the Propaganda Department of the Independence Regiment. On it are "Independence Regiment" in three large black characters, flying and dancing. Dazzling...
