The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 860 Teach the Japanese invaders a lesson - difficult problem

"Baga, these damn bastards, how could they be the Eighth Route Army guerrillas?
If the firepower of the guerrillas is stronger than that of the Imperial Japanese Army, what hope is there for the jihad? "

Daming Toriyama was cursing, absolutely unwilling to believe that the group of well-equipped, fiercely fired, and extremely tough ambush troops that appeared in his field of vision would be guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yes, this is absolutely impossible!"

"It must be the trick of that cunning Kong Jie, who disguised the main force of the Eighth Route Army as these guerrillas!"

Toriyama Daming comforted himself, his face was ashen, and the little devils on the side didn't dare to talk, so they had to lower their heads to echo: "Hi! Your Excellency, Captain, is wise!"

……

Surrounding the Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tanxian areas, the second phase of the winter counter-offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Shanxi Anti-Japanese Independent First Detachment continued.

Similar to what Toriyama Daming witnessed, the Japanese army's transport troops were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army guerrilla troops and were defeated in a short period of time.

At first, the Japanese military intelligence department also defined those teams that lurked halfway, ambushed transport troops, did not have uniform uniforms, and wore all kinds of troops as the Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

The same was true when the news reached the Japanese First Army Command:

"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas have ambushed our troops in the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County.

But as the final battle came out.

The transport teams that were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas from all walks of life, ranging from small transport squadrons to large transport squadrons, were all defeated without exception after being ambushed.

The supplies were robbed, and the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were quite heavy.

According to the memories of the Japanese and puppet troops who survived ambushes on all sides:

Those guerrillas were extremely well equipped and had very powerful firepower.

As soon as the battle started, a whole brain of shells fell directly as if they didn't want money.

The battle was impossible to fight at all, and as soon as it broke out suddenly, the troops were directly suppressed by the fierce firepower of the guerrillas.

The so-called Eighth Route Army guerrillas, as well as the ambush warfare that can be defined as guerrilla warfare in the middle, have fundamentally changed their taste:

The guerrillas of the former Eighth Route Army, known as the Three Guns and the Eighth Route Army, all wore simple clothes, single weapons, and lacked guns and ammunition.

Every time the Japanese transport troops encountered these Eighth Route Army guerrillas on the way, there would be no major problems at all.

The gunshots from the Eighth Route Army ran out of ammunition within a few shots, and they were forced to flee.

Ambush is not counted, at most it is a few harassment shots at a distance.

But now it has completely changed.

The guerrillas that were agreed upon, good guy, that firepower configuration is simply much more tyrannical than the main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army in the past.

Three guns and eight roads, there is no need for earth guns, people use artillery directly.

Not to mention the scarcity of bullets, other people's shells seem to be free of money, just close your eyes and hit them hard.

All of a sudden, the Japanese transport convoys who were ambushed by the so-called guerrillas from all sides suffered heavy losses.

The command department of the Japanese army issued an order immediately, and the transport troops in various places stopped the transport operations immediately.

The devils were afraid that if the transportation continued, they would suffer even greater losses.

……

A team command.

The latest battle news came from the front. With the cooperation of local armies and militia units from all sides, they successfully destroyed the supply and transportation lines of the Japanese army and intercepted a large amount of military supplies.

The cadres were all excited after hearing this.

"The efficiency is too high, old Kong, to say something that is not bragging at all.

As far as our local army and militia troops are concerned, the combat effectiveness demonstrated in this battle is no less than that of our conventional main combat troops. "

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan was filled with emotion.

When he was still working as a staff officer at the brigade headquarters, the local army and militia units in various places were great at fighting some second devils and suppressing bandits.

For a long time, to deal with the main force of the devils, we can only rely on the elite main force.

But since I came to a team, what I have seen and heard, all these old conclusions seem to have been overturned.

In the team led by Kong Jie, not only the main combat force was exceptionally strong, but even the local army, including the militia, had shown extraordinary combat effectiveness and execution ability in one battle after another in recent years.

Based on this, Xu Guoan was even thinking.

If a team of local troops and militia units are temporarily combined to form a new regiment, the combat effectiveness may not be bad.

Regarding this, Kong Jie explained with a smile: "Old Xu, in the final analysis, it was always the problem of equipment that most restricted the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army troops in the past few years.

The problems of equipment and logistics cannot be solved, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Even the most talented soldier, he can't touch a gun and has no actual combat training. How can he improve?
But the local army and the militia of our first team have different conditions. It is much better than ours at that time. With the background support of our first team, there are many opportunities for actual combat and sufficient training.

Especially after we streamlined our army and streamlined our administration, many military officers with real talents and real learning in the army were transferred to the local army and militia as commanders.

There is their unified training and dispatch, plus excellent equipment.

Even our local army and militia comrades are still unambiguous when they beat up little devils. "

Xu Guoan said: "This is the truth."

Then, the topic turned to the current battle situation.

"Old Kong, the situation in Baiyang Town is really what you expected. After Yang Zhongshan led the 57th Regiment to defeat Baiyang Town in one round, we stopped the Japanese reinforcements again. The follow-up devils really seem to have given up on Baiyang Town.

No additional soldiers were sent in the direction of Baiyang Town. "

Kong Jie said: "The little devil doesn't want to force the Jinsui army to stand on the same front with us, and also wants to play the means of attacking in the outer suburbs.

As for Baiyang Town, it is not uncommon for the devils to send it out for free in order to stabilize the Jinsui Army.

Maybe it's our Chief Yan who reached an agreement with the little devil in private! "

He continued: "This is not a bad thing, everything is still in our plan.

Yang Chongshan successfully occupied Baiyang Town, which is not only a natural granary for devils, but also just stuck in the middle line between Shouyang and Tan County.
With the 57th regiment of the Jinsui Army watching this place, we can also save a lot of worry. "

Xu Guoan said with a smile: "That's true. In addition, the news from Yang Chongshan in the morning said that he would like to thank you, old Kong!"

Kong Jie couldn't help laughing, and said pointedly: "What is this old boy thanking me for? I have to thank him!"

"This pig raising plan is officially on the right track!"

Everyone's eyes are focused on the military simulation sand table in front of them, which means that the military flags of a team are gradually increasing on the sand table, connecting all the bases of the whole team. At this time, the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan County have been vaguely separated besieged.

Xu Guoan asked: "Old Kong, after the second stage of fortifications was launched, our local army and militia troops took action. We have successfully cut off the devil's supply lines, and the little devil has also taken countermeasures, suspending the delivery of supply lines.

What do you want to do next? "

Kong Jie said: "It's a good thing that the devil stopped the material transportation, it's equivalent to completely cutting off the last eyeliner of the devil.

Now regarding the situation on the outside line, the little devil's eyes are smeared, and he doesn't know anything.

After the heavy snow fell, the devil's railway and highway transportation was greatly hindered.

Next, on the one hand, we will focus on attacking the devils' lines of communication, and on the other hand, we will continue our plan of encircling the points to fight for aid. "

Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something, Kong Jie reminded again: "Oh, by the way, notify the battalion headquarters in charge of the sabotage operation.

The raid on the devil's railway lines, highway lines, bridges, etc. is suspended, waiting for the command of the headquarters. "

"Why?" Xu Guoan asked in confusion.

Kong Jie explained on the battle sand table: "The next step is to divide the battle into three steps.

In the first step, the local armies and militia forces of all parties continued to stare at the various transportation lines of the little devil, and we must not let any transportation force go.

In addition, the small combat units formed by our battalions are personally commanded by the soldiers of the commando led by Duan Peng, and they will find a way for me to infiltrate Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan counties, and set fire to the devil's granaries and material warehouses up.

In this winter, once there is no food and military supplies, Lao Xu, tell me, what will the little devil do next? "

What a smart person Xu Guoan was, he immediately came to his senses and said happily, "My God, old Kong, what you're planning is not to besiege the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County.

Then burn the food and supplies of the Japanese and puppet troops, lure the Japanese troops from other areas, and transport the relief supplies. Are you going to rob them halfway? "

Kong Jie retorted: "We call it armed seizure of the material flow of the devils, how can it be called robbery?

Can our Eighth Route Army troops do such immoral things? "

"..."

Xu Guoan: "So, you deliberately ordered the suspension of the raids on the Japanese railway and highway lines, just to ambush them while the devils are using these lines of communication to transport supplies to Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan counties?"

Kong Jiele said: "That's right, otherwise, the assault operation will start early, and once you start to scare the snake, it will not be easy if you want to take the opportunity to rob the devil's transport supplies."

Xu Guoan, who suddenly realized this, had to say with emotion: "Old Kong, you are really there, and this game of chess is really big enough."

"But... what if the little devil not only transports supplies, but even sends reinforcements to Yangquan, Shouyang, and Tan counties?"

"Then just hit him hard!

When we set off a big winter counterattack this time, we didn't intend to play tricks with his little devil. Taking advantage of this snowy day, we will reveal our affairs and fight with his little devil with open swords and sharp guns! "

"What if the devils use heavy reinforcements?" Xu Guoan asked.

Kong Jie said: "Unless the devils don't want the rear, the little devils can't do it just because of the remote four townships and three towns we have brought down.

Taking ten thousand steps back, the devils are really overwhelming.

We can't fight, can't we run?

In the worst case, return the four townships and three towns to him, the little devil, and we will bring supplies and return to the base area, and still make him a lot of money. "

Xu Guoan laughed.

At this moment, he could almost imagine the angry, troubled and helpless situation haunting the hearts of those old devils in the devil headquarters.

……"asshole!"

The Japanese army stationed in the headquarters of the Shanxi First Army in Taiyuan City.

The commander of the devils, Yoshio Shinozuka, has always been calm and self-cultivated, but since facing Kong Jie, he has frequently lost his composure.

He couldn't help cursing. In the northwest of Shanxi, the winter battle surrounding Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan counties was completely out of his control.

The Eighth Route Army's winter counter-offensive came out of nowhere, taking down Shouyang, Yangquan, and the four townships and three towns around Tan County in one fell swoop.

Originally, this move was more of a shame and provocation to the Japanese army.

In fact, these remote villages and towns are not very important to the Japanese army.

Bei Chuan, the devil's chief of staff, naturally also quickly noticed that the four townships and three towns captured by a team had a tendency to besiege the entire Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan counties.

But that's not enough to prove anything.

Those remote villages and towns are not enough to threaten the main counties such as Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, which are the focus of the Japanese military defense.

But with the evolution of time, Kong Jie's banner seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and there is no end to it.

According to various sources, the Eighth Route Army seems to be eyeing the supply line of the Japanese army and arranged a large number of guerrilla ambushes along the way.

a few hours ago.

In Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, many places in the city were even more ablaze.

"Yangquan, Shouyang, and Tan county headquarters received news that many granaries and material warehouses in the county suddenly caught fire, and a large amount of food and military supplies of our army were burned.

Obviously, this is definitely a secret method used by the Eighth Route Army.

The defenders of the three cities immediately strengthened their vigilance on the remaining granaries and material depots.

But there are not many food supplies left.

These damn bastards, general, I think they are brewing some kind of plot again.

Perhaps it was through this series of means that the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County were short of military supplies, and then lured our army to reinforce the three cities, so that their Eighth Route Army set up an ambush halfway. "

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded: "This is an obvious intention!"

After the words fell, the two old devils fell into silence tacitly.

That's right.

Kong Jie sent a small group of troops to burn down many granaries and material warehouses in Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian, the devils, with a clear purpose.

But even if you know it, little devil, what can you do?
Not fooled?
So the Japanese and puppet troops in Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tanxian were left alone?
That's great, the captain of Kongda Branch is waiting for you little devil to do this!

It happened to be surrounded but not attacked. Maybe it will take a long time, and the Japanese and puppet troops in Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan counties will be captured without bloodshed because of the lack of food.

As for sending a transport team to reinforce the food?

Then wait to be robbed by the captain of the Kong Da Branch on the way!

No fancy plot at all.

Both the devil and the Eighth Route Army are very aware of the opponent's methods and possible responses.

Kong Jie just wanted to teach Yoshio Shinozuka a lesson, to come up with such a difficult problem, and see how the old devil would choose.

For a moment, Shinozuka Yoshio and Beichuan were helpless...
