The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 146 Revenge
What's the point?

Naturally, the conventional way of fighting cannot be used, otherwise the cavalry squadron of the devils would be wiped out after a single round of artillery shells, and the horses would probably be almost dead.

So Kong Jie had to find a way before the battle started, what way?

Completely separate the Japanese cavalry from their horses, and then greet the devil's cavalry with the offensive firepower.

It seems that this is not difficult to do. With the development of the war situation in this period, even the devil's cavalry never lacks the training of horseback thrusts in their daily training, but in actual combat, the devil's cavalry also mounts and gallops. Dismount and fight.

A well-trained little devil seldom rides a horse and charges firepower foolishly.

It's just that the devil's cavalry squadron, this time, apparently launched a retaliatory raid on Xinzhuang, which was outside the base of the independent regiment.

It's just that entering the village to kill people comes and goes quickly, and it seems more convenient to kill people on horseback. The little devil probably won't dismount to fight.

So Kong Jie had to find a way to force these devils to leave the war horse.

And just when Kong Jie was thinking about countermeasures.

the other side.

The base camp of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi, in Taiyuan City.

Not long ago, Kong Jie led a commando to attack the prisoner-of-war camp in Niutoushan first, then blew up the mine, and finally killed and wounded the Japanese and puppet troops on the way to escape.

The small Xiami who was originally like a commando would not pay attention to the high-level Japanese army like Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

Kazuki Yamamoto's repeated misses seem to have been lost in the hands of this Eighth Route Army commander named Kong Jie.

Coupled with the name of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka is no stranger to it. Not long ago, the Sakata Regiment, which launched a sweep against the Eighth Route Army base areas, seemed to have been defeated by this Eighth Route Army. Died in World War I.

Kong Jie and the independent group, who repeatedly came into the sight of Yoshio Shinozuka, gradually gained Yoshio Shinozuka's attention.

Out of curiosity, Shinozuka Yoshio ordered the intelligence department to mobilize to collect all intelligence information about this independent group and its leader Kong Jie.

Not long after, information about Kong Jie appeared on Yoshio Shinozuka's desk:

It is speculated that he has strong individual combat ability, proficient in shooting, proficient in using various light weapons, and has received combat training and knife training. , the subject is Chinese martial arts, the degree is unknown.

As for the line in the photo, there is also one. After the memories of the puppet soldiers who were released from the mine, the Japanese army found an artist to draw a targeted image, which is somewhat similar to Kong Jie.

It's just a pity that Kong Jie looks too popular, such a portrait seems to be somewhat similar to the common people who come and go in the county.

Just relying on such a portrait, even if Kong Jie stood in front of Shinozuka Yoshio, Shinozuka Yoshio might not recognize him.

Shinozuka Yoshio pushed the intelligence document to Kazuki Yamamoto who was sitting opposite him, "Yamamoto-kun, you should read it too. There is an old saying in China, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

"Hi!"

Yamamoto took the file respectfully, picked it up and browsed through it.

After a while, Yamamoto put down the document, Yoshio Shinozuka sat on his armchair and asked calmly, "How do you feel?"

Yamamoto said: "General, I have some questions. According to information, in terms of personality, Kong Jie seems to have a very different personality before and after, but why is there such a big difference in his personality in such a short period of time? "

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Yamamoto-kun, I remember you said that you had a conversation with Kong Jie during the hunt in Wuming Mountain, from the conversation, what do you think of the other party's character? "

Yamamoto thought about it, and what came to his mind was the humiliation of being suppressed by Kong Jie everywhere in the blocking battle of Xupo.

He replied: "In terms of intelligence, the summary of Kong Jie's recent personality is very good. This person is indeed unpredictable and unpredictable. No matter what method I think of to attack, he seems to be able to predict it in advance."

"In addition, this person's thinking is active, and he can turn passive into active. He is good at taking advantage of all battlefield factors that are beneficial to him."

"General, with all due respect, I have never encountered such a troublesome opponent!"

Yamamoto was frightened by Kong Jie's repeated oppression.

For the beheading operation that went straight to Daxia Bay, Kong Jie seemed to know his plan of action in advance and deployed it in Yangcun early in the morning.

Then to the exposure of the prisoner-of-war camp, it was directly blown up by Kong Jie.

Along the way, I chased another loneliness.

In the last gentle slope blocking battle, if the captain of the Japanese army captain did not fight to the death, Yamamoto of Hideaki I might have been planted there.

All these incidents, one by one, touched Yamamoto's psychological defenses, so arrogant that Yamamoto actually said such words.

Somewhat surprised, Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at Yamamoto and asked, "Then on your prey list, is this Kong Jie a lion? A hungry wolf? Or a hare?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked with great interest.

Yamamoto was silent for a moment, then replied: "He is a fox!"

Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head with a smile. He never thought that his own, arrogant general, would be repeatedly frustrated by such a small commander of the Eighth Route Army.

Perhaps because he wanted to help Yamamoto regain his confidence, the plan in Shinozuka Yoshio's heart became more and more firm.

"Yamamoto-kun, your few misses may be coincidences, but coincidences cannot happen again and again. I will use actual military actions to prove to you that the cunning fox you have trouble with is in front of more shrewd hunters. There is also only one way to die.”

"General, I've heard about the matter. Are you going to dispatch a cavalry to surprise the base of the Independent Regiment?"

"Yes, it was also inspired by the surprise attack of the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Mixed Brigade in Wanjia Town by the Eighth Route Army. Maybe our cavalry should also show up."

"General, with all due respect, the bases of the Eighth Route Army are located in mountainous areas, and our cavalry cannot take advantage of their mobility. Such a cavalry may not be of much use in the past."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "It's not to deal with the Eighth Route Army, but to sneak attack the villages near the Eighth Route Army."

"Recently, starting from the failure of the Sakata Regiment to wipe out the Eighth Route Army's roots, our Imperial Japanese Army has suffered repeated setbacks, and the morale of the army has been damaged. Now our army urgently needs a victory, or an outlet to avenge the Eighth Route Army. Villages are our best bet."

"With the speed of our cavalry, wherever the horse's hoof tramples, it is victory!"

"Only with the filthy blood of those Chinese can we wash away the shame of our continuous damage during this period."

Speaking of rising, Yoshio Shinozuka even recited a poem, saying:
"Hundreds of riders roll through the village, and all bones die in one battle."

"The direction of the front of the soldiers, the enemy will be ambushed and punished."

"I like Chinese poems, Yamamoto-kun. I hope this victory can boost the morale of our army. It is also a revenge and a deterrent to the Eighth Route Army. No one can shake the power of the Japanese Empire."

"This village massacre will only be the beginning, it will be the beginning of our complete elimination of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi!"

"Hi!"

Yamamoto bowed his head and responded without saying anything more.
Although he was still a little worried in his heart, he always felt that it was too risky to rashly dispatch a cavalry to deal with that cunning Kong Jie.

But after thinking about it, Yamamoto quickly convinced himself again.

The general was right that coincidences cannot happen over and over again.

This cavalry launched a surprise attack suddenly, and rushed from the starting point to the first target of the attack-Xinzhuang, the time before and after would never exceed two hours.

After the horseshoes trampled on it, the whole village was left with only a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​flames.

The Eighth Route Army may not have time to react at all.

Then Kong Jie is not a god, how can he predict the enemy's first opportunity again and again?
