The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Kong Jie followed with Wohuo.

After the drought spread, the entire northern part of Henan was already starved to death. Jiang Jun claimed that he had allocated food to relieve the victims.

However, what Kong Jie saw along the way to the south with his troops was still full of mourners and corpses, like a purgatory on earth, desolate.

For this reason, most of the supplies and food that the soldiers brought down along the way were distributed to the victims encountered along the way, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket and could not solve the fundamental problem.

But how can these useless bastards of the Central Army have any extra food to use for business?

And it also accepts daily tickets.

It is true that the front is tight and the rear is tight, and the country is in trouble.

It is clear that they recognize money but not people. If the Japanese army spent money to buy this batch of grain, they would probably still send it to others.

The disaster situation in northern Henan became more and more serious.

A team up and down, including the entire Taihang, Taiyue and other base areas, until now, even if the front is still fighting, the rear has never stopped receiving and resettling the refugees who fled.

Kong Jie originally thought that with these efforts, coupled with the relief from the Central Army in northern Henan, even if the people affected by the disaster would not have enough to eat and their lives would be much more difficult, at least they could survive.

After all, northern Henan was operated by the Japanese army and the Central Army, not the territory of a single team. No matter how long Kong Jie's hand stretched, he couldn't control so much.

until……

The advance scout unit sent by Kong Jie found that at the junction of the defense areas of the Central Army and the Japanese Army, there was an endless stream of caravans going back and forth, and the official road was opened as if the confrontation between the two sides had never existed at all.

For the caravans coming and going, the armies of both sides even let them go directly without any inspection.

It simply surprised Kong Jie and his team.

It's been a long time.

"Captain, I understand why the little devil has been running rampant in our Chinese territory for so many years.

Of course, there must be these officer bastards who pocketed their own pockets and whose conscience was completely eaten by dogs.

The defense on the side of the Central Army was almost broken. After the investigation, I even thought that if the little devil wanted to, he could directly break through the defense line on the other side at any time. "

The company commander on the side teased: "Don't worry, the little devil won't do that.

The Central Army is so good. The devils want supplies, they give them, and the devils want food. They use trucks to pull them over at any time. The devils need all kinds of rare mineral resources and wood. They don't say anything, and they transport them continuously from the rear.

At most, the devil is spending some money, saving an unknown amount of time and manpower.

Isn't this much better than capturing the opponent's territory? "

Kong Jie was on fire.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, get ready, and launch an attack on time tomorrow morning!"

……

There are advanced scouting troops who scouted ahead of time and planned the route.

There are also disguised caravans running all the way, almost unimpeded as the first eyeliner to detect news.

The next day, the rapid advance of the rapid reaction force led by Kong Jie went very smoothly.

What surprised Kong Jie was:
In this area of ​​northern Henan, the devils have been fighting the Central Army for more than a year, and the battle is not very good. There are frequent transactions, and the defense is also very slack.

It seems that the ancients said that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black, which really makes sense.

Having been in contact with these self-pocketed Central Army for a long time, even this little devil in northern Henan seems to have begun to enjoy this kind of nourishing and lazy life.

Maybe it's because they are used to bullying the Central Army, but the little devils here are still very rampant.

The Fourth Japanese Cavalry Brigade was the first to learn that there were Eighth Route Army troops trying to go south.

Without hesitation, the leader of the devil's brigade rushed towards Nanle County with the main force, trying to destroy the eighth route army going south in one fell swoop.

The way Kong Jie responded was very simple.

First lure the enemy deep with a cavalry unit, lure more than 3000 devil cavalry into the preset ambush circle, and then directly use the strengthened armored units to detour and cut off the retreat of the Japanese cavalry brigade.

The Eighth Route Army field troops in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area cooperated in this battle.

Falling into the devil cavalry unit with limited maneuvering space, coupled with the fact that the rear was forcibly cut off by the armored unit, the horse's leg was directly interrupted.

Over the years, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region, who had long been suffocated by the confrontation with the little devils in northern Henan, took the opportunity to attack the devil cavalry troops in the ambush circle with the ambush formation that had been preset for a long time. .

Under the encirclement layer after layer.

Facts have proved that once there are more infantry, the cavalry can still be completely trapped.

In this way, the executioner of the Northern Henan tragedy was once the famous Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army in Northern Henan, and was almost wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

After paying a heavy price in casualties, more than a thousand devil cavalry who broke out from the siege, and the soldiers who were killed madly pursued them all the way.

So in this wide plain area, there is such a scene:
A very embarrassing devil cavalry unit was fleeing, and the surrounding troops wearing earth-grey Eighth Route Army uniforms were just infantry. Turn around and flee.

There were even times when the eighth route army infantry who clearly stopped them was only a few hundred.

It was a shame that a few hundred little devils dared to chase tens of thousands of Central Army troops in pursuit.

At this moment, it seems to be repeating itself.

It's just that the roles of the two sides have been reversed. This time, the Eighth Route Army is in charge.

Cooperating with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan, after completing the encirclement of the Fourth Japanese Cavalry Brigade, Kong Jie did not stop here, and led the quick response force to continue advancing.

After colliding with the defense line set up by the Japanese army again along the way, Kong Jie, with the attitude of giving it a try, disguised the preceding vehicle as a Japanese transport convoy.

The soldiers all hid inside the carriages, and all the drivers put on the uniforms of the devils, pretending to be a caravan of the Japanese army.

As a result... a miracle really happened! ! !
The ghost guards along the way did not conduct a special search, and even expressed their welcome in Japanese for the smooth return of their convoy.

At this moment, after Kong Jie, who was wearing a Japanese-style Showa military uniform and carried the rank of Major, asked in Japanese, he learned that at the moment, the devil officers belonging to the Harada Division of the Japanese Army, because they have been in business for a year, their individual One earns a lot of money, and it's a big New Year's Eve.

The chief officers of the army all went to Xinxiang to drink and celebrate.

At this time, the entire defense zone may not even be able to find a ghost assistant officer.

This made Kong Jie speechless.

I thought that the first army led by the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka, that is, the security army, was not as good as the first-class divisions of others, and could at best be regarded as second-rate combat effectiveness.

But if compared with these Japanese troops who are hardly in class now, then the First Army can be regarded as elite.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in blaming the pocketed officers of the Central Army.

These same corrupt devil officers, it seems that they are not much better!

With emotion, Kong Jie will not let go of such a good opportunity. With the disguise of the caravan, Kong Jie and his quick response troops entered the Japanese defense zone openly and aboveboard.

Then there was a unilateral massacre like a wolf into a herd of sheep.

As far as the military literacy of the little devils here is concerned, it is really not a little bit worse than the devils in the first army.

Not to mention the overall slack defense, after the battle started, the reaction ability, coordination ability, and equipment level were all very poor.

In addition, the soldiers successfully entered the core of the Japanese defense area, avoiding the fortifications that were easy to defend and difficult to attack on the outside of the Japanese army.

The back and forth of the battle lasted less than five hours,
Kong Jie thought it would take a lot of effort, but Xinxiang, an important area occupied by the Japanese army, was completely breached just like that.

A large number of devil officers who are holding a celebration banquet in Xinxiang, including the head of the devil division Harada Kumayoshi, have not figured out what is going on!

The army was disabled, the garrison was lost, and Xinxiang was also lost.

If the guards hadn't reacted quickly enough to evacuate the "elite officers" of the empire from the cover of Xinxiang in time, maybe these hundreds of devil officers would have been taken over by Kong Jie.

The Harada Division of the Japanese Army in Northern Henan originally belonged to the Type B Division, even though it ranked relatively low.Later, as the elite continued to be transferred to the Pacific battlefield, they were gradually reduced to a Type C division.

The entire division has only three infantry regiments, plus an engineer regiment and an artillery regiment, making a total of five regiments. They are responsible for stationing in Xinxiang and Kaifeng to guard against the guerrilla troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army.

Even if it was only a second-rate combat force, with the relatively solid fortifications of the entire Xinxiang, it would not be easily defeated by the Eighth Route Army.

After all, they have done more business with the central military over the years, made more money, and indulged in more enjoyment, and gradually decayed.

This time, he suffered a big loss in a muddleheaded manner, and was bumped into by Kong Jie just in time, and took advantage of the loophole.

If Xinxiang is a big one, there are more than ten thousand combat troops at any rate, just like that, they are completely crippled, and the city is also lost. The goods that were originally hoarded in Xinxiang have been in business for more than a year, and they have earned a huge amount of wealth. .

They all made a wedding dress for Kong Jie!
When the soldiers came to report, Commander, the gold bars and silver dollars from the devil's vault were loaded into several carts, and we couldn't take the supplies and equipment that were too much.

Kong Jie felt that the current battle was really unreal.

Can such a group of mobs actually be able to invade half of our land of China and defeat the Central Army all the way?

It seems that after the outbreak of the Pacific War and the war in Southeast Asia, the military literacy of the young devils in China who were continuously drawn out of elites has dropped significantly.

But the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger with each passing day.

Under the ebb and flow, the gap is particularly obvious.

After taking Xinxiang, Kong Jie didn't stop. On the one hand, he passed the news to the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, asking the brothers in Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan to quickly send troops to take over Xinxiang, and at the same time transport a large amount of seized equipment and materials back.

On the other hand, after quickly gathering troops, they advanced towards Kaifeng with the cooperation of the local Eighth Route Army troops.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops that were defeated from various defense lines and withdrew from Xinxiang in embarrassment, there were only three or 4000 troops left. Under the leadership of Harada Kumayoshi, they hurriedly retreated to Kaifeng.

Seeing the heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army pressing in, Harada Xiongkichi hurriedly asked the headquarters for reinforcements.

The devil officers, who had long been grasshoppers on a boat, were a little worried.

"Sir, this time our troops were ineffective in fighting, resulting in heavy casualties. Even Xinxiang was completely lost. If the superiors thoroughly investigate and blame it, then we are all finished! Even if we commit suicide by caesarean section, we can't, maybe we can't." It will affect our family!"

"General, make up your mind!"

"General..."

Looking at the anxious expressions of his subordinates, Harada Kumakichi scolded: "Hachi, why are you panicking?
Is it our fault that we failed this battle and lost the city?

Judging from the intelligence, it was a rather large mechanized combat unit of the Eighth Route Army that attacked us.

Such troops have only appeared in Shanxi. What does this mean?This shows that it must be the Eighth Route Army team that the First Army did not fight well and attacked from their defense area.

The first army is so powerful that they are no match, so what can we do? "

"This time, all parts of our army fought bravely. The warriors of our empire fought to the death and refused to retreat. However, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was too well equipped and their firepower was too powerful. They even used special gas to attack our army very despicably.

And those damn Central Army troops took the opportunity to sneak attack and attack from both sides, which led to the final failure of our army. "

"However, my colleagues, the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are fearless. Even if we are forced to retreat to Kaifeng after a deadly battle, we must stick to the last city and wait for reinforcements!"

Harada Kumakichi, who was neither blushing nor heart beating, said solemnly.

The rest of the devil officers immediately came back to their senses and echoed one after another:
"Your Excellency, division chief, is wise, long live the Empire of Japan!"

"Long live!"

"Yaoxi!" Harada Kumayoshi nodded in satisfaction, "Tell the communications department, at least three times an hour, please keep asking for reinforcements from each headquarters! Kaifeng is in an emergency. I can hardly resist it!"

"Hi!"

……

……

At the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the translator put down his earphones and replied loudly:

"Reporting to the boss, Li Yunlong's department called, saying: We have penetrated into the core areas of Luxi and Central Shandong. The devil's defense is very lax, the troops are extremely scattered, and they can be broken as soon as they are poked. Countless devils' supplies have been seized along the way, including army cars, tanks, and armored vehicles. More and more, and cooperate with the local combat troops to break through the Japanese fortifications on a large scale, and are further expanding the results of the battle, and are going south to try to join forces with the Kong Jie Department!"

"Okay, well played!"

The boss's hanging heart was also relieved, and he couldn't help but praise him.

Then came more breaking news:

"Reporting to the command, the leader of the Kong Jie detachment sent a message saying: Our troops joined the troops in the northern Henan base along the road built by the Japanese army. After completely defeating the Japanese Fourth Cavalry Brigade and going south to successfully break through Xinxiang, our troops seized a large amount of supplies and ammunition. Kaifeng advances.

We are traveling unimpeded on the land of northern Henan, unimpeded! "

The translator's voice fell, and the entire headquarters could hear a needle drop...
