The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 859 Is this what you call guerrilla warfare?
In this winter counter-offensive, the second phase of the offensive started immediately...

At the headquarters of a team, Kong Jie pointed out on the military sand table: "Now Neixiang, Qingye Town, Sanquan Township and other four townships and three towns have been captured by our army.

According to the original intention of the Japanese army, it seems that they wanted to draw troops from the surrounding counties of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tanxian County to encircle our team in four townships and three towns.

It's a pity that this little devil's strength is limited after all, and our Eighth Route Army regiments are fighting everywhere, even the 57th and 358th regiments of the Jinsui Army also showed their heads in this counterattack.

If the little devil rashly deploys troops to the four townships and three towns, it will easily empty out the troops in other areas, and our army can take advantage of the vacancy.

This is a typical demolition of the east wall to make up for the west wall. After all, it is not a long-term solution. The little devil is having a headache now! "

He drew several main lines on the sand table with his hands, and marked all the railway lines and important highway lines of the Japanese army that were originally displayed on the sand table with small flags, and continued:

"These railway lines and highway lines are the necessary routes for the troops of the Japanese army to be transferred from other counties to Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan counties.

Next, we will fully mobilize combat forces, with the main force as the main force, supplemented by local troops and militia forces.

With guerrilla tactics as the core, the Japanese army broke through the main lines of communication in Northwest Shanxi. "

The chief of staff Xu Guoan on the side nodded approvingly, his expression mixed with anticipation: "Old Kong, our winter counterattack, this first phase of the battle, we have defeated the devil's four villages and three towns in one fell swoop." town.

The focus of the entire Japanese army in North China has been attracted to areas such as Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian.

If this second phase of the offensive goes well, it will paralyze all the main lines of communication of the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi in one fell swoop.

In addition, the four townships and three towns occupied by our team, together with the base area of ​​our team, almost surrounded the main counties of the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi, Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County from the outside.

At that time, the Japanese army will be under threat from our side almost all the time in the central area of ​​Northwest Shanxi.

So it can be said that the most important strategic goal of our winter counterattack has been achieved. I think this massive counterattack is enough to shake the entire North China.

If the little devil just ignores Shouyang, Yangquan, including Tan County and other places, the fat that is already on our lips will be swallowed by us sooner or later.

It's just... In the future, the focus of the devil's operations in North China will most likely be transferred to our team! "

Speaking of this, Xu Guoan also asked with a smile: "Old Kong, are you not afraid at all?"

"What are you afraid of?" Kong Jie asked.

Xu Guoan said: "Aren't you afraid that the little devil will devote all his strength to destroying Kong Jie alone?"

But I didn't want to, when Kong Jie heard this, Le's eyes disappeared: "Haha, old Xu, if the little devil can really do this, it will be the greatest glory of my life, Kong Jie!
If I sacrificed myself, Kong Jie, to attract all the main force of the Japanese army in North China, buy time for the development and expansion of our other troops, and eventually lead to the destruction of the entire Japanese army in North China, then our sacrifice is worth it! "

After the righteous words were finished, Kong Jie rolled his eyes, and said on Xu Guoan's previous topic: "Old Xu, what you just said suddenly reminded me that our team is going to destroy the entire Japanese army in North China. The focus of combat is drawn to us.

It's just a small fight in front of me, I'm afraid it's not enough.

What you said just now, you are right, if the little devil just watch Shouyang, Yangquan, Tan County and other places, he will not care.

These three represent the main counties in the central area of ​​Northwest Shanxi, and sooner or later our team will take them into their pockets.

But where did it go?
My Kong Jie's appetite is not so small! "

They took down the four townships and three towns in one go, and now they are threatening to eat up the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tanxian County directly.

That's it, your old Kong's appetite is still small?

Xu Guoan was a little dazed and said: "Old Kong, don't play tricks on me, your mind has always been puzzling.

There is no one else at the moment, so just tell me the truth, what is your ultimate strategic goal in launching this winter counterattack? "

Xu Guoan really couldn't understand Kong Jie now.

At the military meeting before winter, Xu Guoan thought that Kong Jie called the military cadres of the whole regiment to discuss the development of a team, the cold protection of the winter troops, and the defense.

As a result, Kong Jie directly proposed to use the winter to launch a counterattack.

This was completely beyond Xu Guoan's expectations.

The attack by a team directly broke the inherent situation of the Eighth Route Army fighting the Japanese army and being in a passive defense for a long time.

Then, Xu Guoan thought that Kong Jie's so-called counterattack was to hit a dozen remote villages and small and medium-sized devils' strongholds, which was about the same.

Unexpectedly, Kong Jie directly proposed to launch an attack on the remote towns, strongholds, and villages of the Japanese army in Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County.

This is still reasonable.

Just when Xu Guoan thought that this winter counter-offensive was just the way it was, Captain Kong proposed again:
"Take down four townships and three towns, and at the same time persuade the Jinsui army to join the war, take the opportunity to take down Baiyang Town, and mess up the entire battle situation in Northwest Shanxi.

Using the four townships and three towns surrounding Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County to connect a team base, they formed a siege of the three cities of the Japanese army! "

So far, Xu Guoan was completely bewildered by Kong Jie's play.

Why is this step-by-step rhythm getting bigger and bigger?

No wonder there have been rumors in a team that you will fight with the team leader Kong Jie. You never know the final direction and scale of this battle, and what it will look like.

You think Captain Kong just wants to trample a wasp to death, and then he can poke a hornet's nest for you!
Do you think that Captain Kong just wanted to touch the tiger's ass?
People dare to stab the tiger directly at the buttocks.

I really fear that the world will not be chaotic.

This has always been Kong Jie's style of leading troops in combat.

For this reason, every time the independent regiment fought, the brigade commander specifically explained that more attention should be paid to the independent regiment's motives, for fear that Kong Jie would gradually expand an originally inconspicuous battle into a large-scale battle, so that the brigade headquarters I can't get back to my senses.

……

At this moment, facing Xu Guoan's question, Kong Jie showed an inscrutable expression, and asked with a smile, "Old Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Guoan thought for a while, and said, "...Old Kong, don't you want to slowly eat up the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, and even take down the entire central area of ​​Northwest Shanxi?"

Kong Jie nodded, then shook his head again: "That's right, but not all right, you might as well think about it further."

Xu Guoan swallowed and spit... "Could it be that these three counties still can't satisfy your old Kong's appetite? You still want to take down the entire Sanjin?"

This was already the limit that Xu Guoan could imagine.

This means that not only Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, but also Taiyuan City must be completely captured in order to achieve this ultimate goal.

Kong Jie smiled: "That's right, the target is already a bit interesting."

As soon as he changed the topic, he was relaxed, and he had the spirit of pointing out the country and provoking his words: "However, where is this?
Old Xu, the old saying is good, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.

A commander who doesn't want to command a big battle is not a good commander.

Let me tell you the truth!

The winter counterattack launched by our team this time, according to my expectation, is to take the lead in capturing the four townships and three towns, followed by a second-stage offensive, destroying the devil’s communication and supply lines, and causing the entire Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi to fall into a bitter battle. .

Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tanxian, which are within the encirclement, I will not move for the time being, but in my opinion, these three counties are already in the pocket of our team.

It's the same old rules, let's gather around to fight for aid!
It's just that this point this time is the three counties of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County.

Besiege these three cities and lure Japanese troops from other parties to fight.

Take the four townships and three towns as a guide, and use the siege of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan counties as a springboard.

The first step is to disrupt the northwest of Shanxi, and gradually make the Japanese army lose control of the central area in the northwest of Shanxi. In the worst case, it is necessary to use the Japanese army to occupy the remote villages and towns around the county, completely cut off the connection between the Japanese county and the county, and completely cut off the ghosts. The supply lines between them made the devil's county towns become independent isolated cities.

The second step is to use the entire northwest of Shanxi as the basis to counter the entire San Jin and face the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

The third step is to occupy the northwest of Shanxi, to stabilize the development area, and as a rear support, it is further desirable to take the three Jins, and even sweep the entire North China!

Once the Japanese army's North China rear is lost, the Pacific battlefield will definitely be greatly affected, and this will definitely accelerate the defeat of the entire Japanese army in China..."

What sonorous words.

As the voice fell, the lingering sound seemed to be still lingering.

What echoed in Xu Guoan's heart was full of shock.

For a moment, he was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

As an old comrade-in-arms of the same period as Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, Xu Guoan is familiar with the Iron Triangle of Shanxi and Northwest.

Ding Wei, Ding with a big nose, loves to brag, but it is easy to hear the jokes in the bragging:
"General? Hehe, if you want me to tell you, we must at least be a marshal!"

Li Yunlong, Li has a big head, he is the boss of my second child, and he loves to brag more.

To use a classic saying: Give him a teacher, Li Yunlong dares to fight Taiyuan!
Xu Guoan originally thought that these two old comrades-in-arms were already good enough.

But never imagined...

Kong Jie, Kong Er's idiot, Kong Dashi, once he opened his mouth, he was so crazy!

You don't have a formal establishment. Although you are a detachment leader, you are actually equivalent to a regiment-level commander.

Good guy, are you just thinking about the devil's entire North China occupied area?
The key point is that it is different from the two bragging old buddies in front, even though what Kong Jie said calmly at the moment, in Xu Guoan's ears, it is almost crazy to the point of no limit.

After he regained his composure and thought about it carefully, Xu Guoan felt that for no reason, what Kong Jie said might not become a reality.

Xu Guoan, who came to his senses suddenly, shook his head quickly, shaking off the reverie in his heart, and then reminded himself:

Don't be fooled by Lao Kong!
"Old Kong, let's put the bragging aside first, let's talk about how the second phase of the fortification will be carried out first, shall we?"

Kong Jie was startled for a moment, then...hahahaha——

Laughter echoed throughout the room.

As for the seemingly arrogant words just now—who knows what will happen in the future?
……

……

"Comrades, Captain Kong has issued an order. This time, our local troops cooperate with a main force to carry out a raid on the important communication lines of the devils and destroy the transportation hubs of the devils.

In addition, the supply line dedicated to attacking the devils must completely cut off the transportation and logistics lines between the devils' cities. "

Temporarily dispatched, attached to the headquarters of the county brigade with full command of a brigade.

Zhang Wanmin, captain of the county brigade, spoke loudly to the cadres at all levels participating in the meeting.

Immediately after changing the subject, he added: "Comrades, for today's battle, I have been running to the detachment headquarters these days.

This battle is coming for you.

The opportunity to improve food and equipment is right in front of us. Whether we can grasp it is up to us! "

As soon as these words came out, the cadres of the county brigades who had been waiting for this battle for a long time were all full of fighting spirit.

"Captain, just give the order!"

Taking a full view of the emotional expressions of the cadres, Zhang Wanmin nodded emphatically, "Okay!"

He directly ordered on the unfolded map: "This time our battle, according to the requirements of the detachment headquarters, is mainly divided into two types of battle.

One is assault warfare, and the other is ambush warfare.

Not to mention the assault battle, the old rules, we, with the cooperation of the militia, smashed the railway tracks, blew up the bridges, destroyed the roads, and completely paralyzed the connection lines of the little devils.

As for the ambush... Look at the map, here and here, these are the supply lines that the devils are most likely to choose.

On both sides of this supply line, all the troops will be arranged for me. There is no need to deploy too many troops, but the firepower must be sufficient. Bring all the mortars and grenades newly distributed to us by the detachment.

Make sure that after the battle breaks out, before the devil's reinforcements arrive, quickly destroy the devil's supply troops, and absolutely not allow any of the devil's supply lines to pass through our ambush area..."

...Boom!
On the outer line of Yangquan, somewhere in a ravine.

The sudden shells fell like raindrops, and with the violent explosion, the snow-white snow and the dark soil were completely mixed into one piece in the shattered bones.

As soon as a Japanese transport unit entered the ravine, it was ambushed by fierce firepower.

The No. [-] soldiers of the county brigade who participated in the ambush took out all their wealth this time.

A large number of shells crazily fell towards the little devils in the ambush circle as if they didn't want money.

Under the absolute advantage of firepower, this ambush did not follow the conventional guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army at all.

The bombardment took less than 2 minutes.

The transportation unit composed of more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops suffered more than [-]% casualties. The remaining devils and puppet troops, in a panic, directly threw away the supplies that were difficult to haul on the snow with sleds and carts, and fled out in a hurry.

Such an ambush is not one place.

Not only in Yangquan, but also in the vicinity of Shouyang and Tan counties. In order to coordinate military supplies among various towns, especially in the center of Yangquan, Shouyang, and Tan counties, the devils prepared a large amount of food to resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

This requires a large number of transport troops to send supplies.

As a result, without exception, all were ambushed on the way.

The large number of local troops and militia troops dispatched even created an illusion for the little devil. Except for the central areas of county towns and towns, the mountains and plains were filled with teams of the Eighth Route Army.

Inside the Yangquan headquarters.

Surviving by luck, the devils of the transport team who fled all the way back reported the situation of being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops on the way.

The messenger rushed to the headquarters in a hurry to report: "Sir, the transport troops departing from Daping Town were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas on the way. The team suffered heavy casualties and all supplies were robbed!"

Then, misfortunes never come singly.

News came one after another that all the supply lines dedicated to towns and townships were ambushed by guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Toriyama Daiming, the captain of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan, was angry and led people to thoroughly investigate the situation of the supply line being ambushed.

This is the news:

"It should be the guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army. Most of them don't even have military uniforms, and they always hide in ambushes along the supply lines of our army.

They shot suddenly, and a large number of shells and bullets hit our army's transport troops directly.

We didn't have time to react at all, and we didn't even figure out where the enemy was hiding and what weapons they used.

All the built machine gun positions and fortifications were destroyed by the opponent's artillery fire, and even the carts that pulled supplies were blown to pieces. "

The ghost soldiers who had encountered the ambush described and recalled in this way.

"So, the equipment of these Tubalu, the guerrillas, is already so sophisticated?"

Toriyama Daming felt a little unbelievable.

Until the next morning, he heard that a transport force was approaching the gate of the city, but was suddenly ambushed by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

In anger, Toriyama Daming immediately brought hundreds of little devils and rushed out of the city gate for reinforcements.

Far away, hearing the sound of guns and guns, he saw through the binoculars:

It really looks like a guerrilla unit of the Eighth Route Army. They don't even wear military uniforms, and many of them even wear white turbans on their heads. Maybe they are authentic farmers.

The strength of the firepower cannot be faked.

All kinds of mortars, grenades, and grenades.

There was a row of light machine guns, and there were even two heavy machine guns roaring.

On the snow-covered hills, they made a very good camouflage. If it wasn't for careful observation and the contrasting colors of the large swarthy land blasted by the artillery fire, they wouldn't even be able to detect the hiding places of these Tubalu at the first time.

With such a firepower configuration, under the sudden firepower ambush, the Japanese and puppet troops in the ambush circle had no room to resist at all.

Toriyama Daming didn't dare to delay at all, he roared and advanced at full speed to reinforce the battle area.

It took about 5 minutes for Toriyama Daiaki to finally arrive with the team.

However, all that remained on the snow were people lying on their backs, the mutilated corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers all over the place, and the battered and empty wagons that had been bombed.

As for the materials pulled, all disappeared.

The soil slopes on both sides were very quiet, and there was not even a single person.

Only the series of messy footprints printed on the depressed and uneven snow is enough to prove that there was a Tuba Road here not long ago.

Watching the soldiers under his hands collect the corpses of the fallen Japanese and puppet soldiers.

Captain Toriyama Daming of the Devil Squad looked through the binoculars at the Tubalu that had turned into a string of small black dots, and couldn't help swallowing. After being stunned for a long time, he asked the Devil officer next to him:
"That's what you said, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas???"
