The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 511
But it is said that Kong Jie commanded the independent regiment to take down Ping'an County and caused a huge sensation.

Even the 57th Regiment and [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army were affected, and they joined the battle one after another and began to fight against Japan.

Not to mention the combat troops that also belong to the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army newly formed the fifth, sixth, and seventh regiments... including the two old main regiments, the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment.

The heads of the various regiments heard that the three regiments of the Audio-Technica used the help of the Ping'an County siege to fight for aid, and fought a big victory, eliminating thousands of Japanese and puppet troops.

The Independent Regiment took down Ping'an County.

It is not uncommon for the heads of the regiment to get a reputation for beating devils.

But the rich equipment seized after the victory is what the regiment leaders are most jealous and envious of.

"More than a dozen cannons! Old Kong has made a fortune this time. The original equipment of their independent regiment is the best in our entire Taihanggeng area. How can they go to the sky now?"

Head of the Fifth Regiment Feng expressed his real-name envy.

During this period of time, with the help of the artillery supported by the Independent Regiment, the Fifth Regiment also attacked some gun towers and strongholds, and made a small fortune, but now it is compared with what the Independent Regiment obtained...

"It's not fart! In the final analysis, our fifth group is still a pauper."

Commander Xu of the [-]st Regiment was equally moved. He remembered that during the Battle of Cangyunling a year ago, the Independent Regiment, Xinyi Regiment, and [-]st Regiment, facing the siege of Bantian United, all chose to break out of the siege from the front.

Later, Kong Jie brought misfortune to the east, and joined forces with Chu Yunfei's [-]th Regiment to defeat the Bantian United in one fell swoop.

At that time, the [-]st Regiment, one of the two old main regiments in the brigade, was still better than the Independent Regiment in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment configuration.

At that time, the independent regiment led by Kong Jie had less than three heavy machine guns in total.

As for the artillery, don't even think about that old mortar, grenades, etc. It was purely by luck that two shots knocked out the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment.

Right now, it has been more than a year before and after, although his [-]st regiment is still one of the old main regiments in the brigade.

Although there have been developments in terms of weaponry and troop size, the progress is actually not that great.

Kong Jie's independent regiment seemed to have been completely reborn. After becoming famous in the battle at Cangyun Ridge, it exploded completely.

The head of the group, Kong Jie, seemed to be a different person, so that the head of the group Xu didn't even know each other.

Not long after, Li Yunlong, who was the boss of the sky and his second child, honestly became the deputy head of the regiment for Kong Jie and worked as a part-time job.

It would be unthinkable to put this matter on the heads of other regiment leaders.

Let Li Yunlong be the deputy head, wouldn't that also throw the whole regiment away for you?
"Hmph, Xu Ruozao, Cheng Xiazi, when you joined the army, you two recruits were taught by me to shoot guns. If it's against you, let me be the deputy commander for you two?"

Thinking of this scene, Captain Xu couldn't help shivering, he would never dare to do this.

But old Kong did it, and he called it a smooth move by Li Yunlong, the prickly leader.

Not long after, the cavalry company made a surprise attack on Qu County.

On the other side, Li Yunlong laid down the Yangquan stronghold.

Bombing the airport, destroying the Yamazaki Brigade, going straight to the arsenal of the North China Security Force, a wave of robbery, the [-]st Regiment of the National Army who robbed and defected to the enemy...

And then to the spring raid not long ago, they directly used a bold home-changing tactic to surprise Yangquan.

Right now, they are using Ping'an County's siege to fight for aid, and finally won Ping'an County in one fell swoop.

In just over a year, the independent regiment has won more and more battles, and the equipment and materials seized have also become more and more abundant.

I heard that the weapons in the regiment have been changed a few times.

Even the local troops around the Independence Regiment, and even the militia troops, just followed the regular army of the Independence Regiment to drink some soup, and the weapon configuration at hand was no worse than that of the newly formed regular troops.

It is conservatively estimated that the strength of the independent regiment has already exceeded the [-] mark, and the number of bullets equipped per capita is at least [-] or more.

The amount of ammunition carried by each soldier is no less than that of well-equipped little devils. (The Japanese soldiers have the right to use only those [-] bullets)
There were originally two artillery companies in the regiment, one mortar company and one mountain artillery company.

Coupled with the artillery of the Devil Artillery Squadron captured this time, it is more than enough to form an artillery regiment.

For this reason, even the heads of the two major regiments, head Xu of the [-]st Regiment and Cheng TuanZhang of the [-]nd Regiment, although they were not very happy, they had to admit it.

Speaking of the Eighth Route Army troops in the entire Taihang base area, if you want to talk about the main regiments, it must be the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment. These two old main force regiments are recognized.

But when it comes to the entire Taihang Root, among the dozens of regiment-level combat units, the regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness, the largest scale, the best equipment, the most victories, and the most devils killed.

The first thing that comes to mind must be the independent group.

In order to deal with the Independence Regiment, the Japanese Army first dispatched the Ishii Regiment, plus the Independent Fourth Mixed Brigade.

In the spring sweep not long ago, more than a dozen brigades were mobilized successively in an attempt to wipe out the independent regiment in one fell swoop.

The devil's fear of the independent group can be seen.

Thinking of this, Head Xu felt mixed with admiration for Kong Jie.

……

After admiration.

For the iron-blooded Eighth Route Army commanders, they have two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom?

You Kong Er fool is good at fighting, and we may not be worse.

Your independent regiment can unite with the new first regiment and the new second regiment to encircle and fight for aid, and capture Ping'an County in one fell swoop.

Even if our other regiments don't have the strength to attack the county seat, take the initiative to attack some devil strongholds, and carry out a few sabotage operations, can't they still do it?
Stimulated by Kong Jie's capture of Ping'an County, the group leaders were all thinking in their hearts.

Thus, a new wave of counterattacks by the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area against the Japanese army kicked off.

All of this, even Kong Jie, the instigator, never expected.

……

Ping An County.

Kong Jie is not a god either, so how could he have expected the impact he would have on the other regiment leaders in the base area after he conquered Ping'an County.

At this moment, Captain Kong is standing on the top of Ping'an County in high spirits, taking advantage of the ascending terrain to look into the distance.

"Hey, head, speaking of it, it would be great if Reporter Shen was here. If you stop on the top of the city, Reporter Shen will take a photo of you. It will be so handsome."

Shen Quan on the side joked.

During the ambush not long ago, reporter Shen even took pictures of Shen Quan!
Speaking of Shen Wenyue, Kong Jie was also a little emotional, "Xiao Wu and the others have been setting off for a while, and I don't know if they have successfully arrived in Jinnan, and whether they have successfully joined Han Feng and the others."

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Leader, don't worry, Xiao Wu is clever, Zheng Tian is rich in experience, reporter Shen is also smart, there will be no problems on the road."

How could Kong Jie fail to hear the meaning behind Shen Quan's words, and scolded with a smile: "You boy, I'm just worried, and I'm also worried about my comrades like Xiao Wu and Zheng Tian."

Shen Quan said happily: "Yes, yes, yes, what the team leader said is that I am mainly worried about reporter Shen."

Kong Jie: "What are you worrying about? Is your boy worried?"

Shen Quan: "........."

After joking for a while, Kong Jie gave an order: "Arrange the soldiers to hurry up, although we have captured the Ping'an County, we will definitely not be able to hold it, and there is no need to hold on.

After packing up and taking away all the devil's arsenals, granaries, and military equipment in the county, we evacuated immediately. "

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Regimental Commander, it will take some time for the Japanese and puppet troops from the nearest counties around Ping'an County to arrive! In addition, the multiple reinforcements that the devils just arrived were severely damaged by us, I am afraid that the little devils don't have the courage Let's quickly reinforce Ping'an County, we are not in a hurry."

Kong Jie said: "What do you know, I am not worried about the little devil? I am worried about that guy Li Yunlong."

"what?"

"I'm curious. Ping'an County is the closest to the defense area of ​​Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment. This time, our three regiments joined forces. The original plan was to use Ping'an County to encircle and fight for reinforcements. Now we have suddenly knocked down Ping'an County. , Look, Lao Li will definitely scold his mother when he finds out about this, we'd better hurry up and slip away, or else Lao Li won't catch up with him, we will have to give him a share of the equipment we seized from the county. "

Shen Quan couldn't laugh or cry, and then suddenly realized.

Kong Jie said: "In addition, the folks in the county should settle down and tell everyone not to be impatient. Our Eighth Route Army will fight back sooner or later."

Shen Quan said: "Leader, don't worry, the folks understand this very well."

"Speaking of it, I feel a little emotional. Ping'an County, which was finally captured, has to be returned to the little devil for nothing. I don't know when we can really regain the lost ground."

Kong Jie continued to look into the distance, and after a while, he said slowly, "Don't worry, that day is not far away."

……

The new second group.

Li Yunlong was jumping and scolding Kong Jie for being dishonest.

Zhao Gang, the political commissar at the side, couldn't help laughing for a while, and said in relief: "Old Li, don't be dissatisfied. This time, what our three regiments have decided is to jointly carry out a battle to encircle the spot and aid. We also wiped out a few Japanese soldiers this time." The reinforcements from the puppet army made a lot of seizures."

"The original intention of the battle has been achieved, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Li Yunlong blew his nose and stared: "Old Zhao, where is your elbow going? You are our old Li's political commissar, why are you trying to help that boy Kong?"

Zhao Gang said with a smile, "They are all my comrades. Whoever takes down Ping'an County will always fight? Besides, we didn't expect to take advantage of this juncture to take down Ping'an County in one fell swoop!"

Li Yunlong was aggrieved and said: "Whoever said that, our Lao Li almost realized it, and might have knocked down Ping'an County, but he, Lao Kong, took the lead."

"This old Kong is too boring. It has been agreed that our new second regiment will be responsible for the siege of Ping'an County. I am ready to take the blame from the brigade commander. I thought that after the battle, our new second regiment would get more points." benefit."

"In the end, he, Lao Kong, was lucky. Not only did he not give any benefits, but he even ran to Lao Tzu's territory and snatched away the fat in Ping'an County. Lao Zhao, tell me, is this plausible?"

Ha ha ha ha--

Zhao Gang laughed, but didn't agree.

After a while, Zhang Dabiao returned and reported: "Regimental Commander, there is news from the front. Commander Kong captured Ping'an County, captured all the equipment and supplies of the devils in the county, and returned to the Independent Regiment with the troops."

"I knew that Lao Kong ran so fast, I was afraid that I would catch up and ask him for benefits!" Li Yunlong cursed, but he was helpless.

For more than a year, Li Yunlong had repeatedly suffered losses from Kong Jie's hands. Li Yunlong understood that no one could easily fish out the meat that fell into Kong Jie's mouth.

until twelve noon.

The newly added Japanese army arrived in Ping'an County smoothly and regained control of Ping'an County.

As for the Japanese and puppet troops who came for reinforcements, Li Yunlong did not order another ambush on the way.

In Lao Li's words, "We can't kill the chicken to get the eggs. The little devils at the moment don't have much money to beat. It's better to let them develop slowly in Ping'an County. When the money is rich, we can eat as much as we want. This is called the tactic of raising devils." .”

……

Taiyuan City.

Nobutoshi Kawawawa, deputy chief of staff of the First Army of the Devils, summoned Kazuki Yamamoto, the captain of the special service team under the First Army of the Japanese Army.

When the two met, Nobutoshi Kawakubo asked straight to the point:

"Yamamoto-kun, under your training command, the plainclothes team and the advance team have been infiltrating the Eighth Route Army Independence Regiment's base area for many days, but so far it has failed. On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army troops frequently ambushed our Great Japanese Empire. What do you think about this? He Liangce?"

Yamamoto was silent, he was also very depressed recently,

The infiltration of the advance team has not been very effective.

Those seemingly ordinary Chinese people are as cunning as foxes.

The advance team was obviously no different from the Chinese in any way. Disguised as Eighth Route Army soldiers, it was still easy to be recognized by those cunning villagers.

Some of them successfully disguised and got in.

But when it came to some questions about the Eighth Route Army, the villagers kept silent. The soldiers of the advancing team were afraid that asking too many questions would reveal their identities, so they had to give up.

So despite the infiltration, no useful information has been obtained.

In addition, although the devils in the advance team were all elites, after all, there were few people and they were in the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

If you can't use effective intelligence to infiltrate and carry out more valuable beheading operations, you won't be able to cause any serious trauma to the independent regiment.

Therefore, the task of infiltrating and beheading the advance team has been delayed until now, but it seems that Yamamoto is a bit mediocre.

Kawakubo Nobutoshi thought for a while, and naturally he couldn't just scold Yamamoto, the general's favorite general, so he said, "Yamamoto-kun, pick the soft persimmons first, that's what I think."

"This independent regiment, including the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, is really difficult to deal with. But right now, our imperial troops have suffered consecutive defeats, and their military prestige has been damaged to the extreme. If we don't win a few more battles, the consequences will be even more serious."

"Additionally, after we imposed a military blockade on the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment some time ago, they secretly supported the Eighth Route Army's troops in other directions, which led to our army's blockade of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area and the defense of many places. been destroyed."

"I was thinking, why don't we avoid the hard bone of the Independence Regiment for the time being, and first gnaw down the Eighth Route Army troops in other directions in Taihanggen."

Kawakubo Nobutoshi said very politely, for Yamamoto who has a special status, he has no direct command.

Yamamoto was naturally unhappy.

The captain of the Yamamoto Secret Service, who was so arrogant that he was almost useless, has long been smoothed after being repeatedly frustrated by Kong Jie.

But he was not so humble that the dignified secret service team would take the lead in choosing the most common Eighth Route Army troops to fight.

Kawakubo Nobutoshi had already stood up, and even solemnly asked Yamamoto: "Yamamoto-kun, please!"

Yamamoto hesitated for a moment, then replied helplessly, "Hi!"
