The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 173

Time passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye.

On the [-]th, the independent regiment headquarters received a campaign order from the division headquarters. The independent regiment was mainly responsible for the mission of breaking the Zhengtai Railway near Yangquan.

Five days.

Sun Desheng, commander of the cavalry company, and Chen Dalian, the instructor, rushed to the regiment headquarters and personally handed over the route report of the cavalry company to Qu County to Kong Jie.

Kong Jie expressed his approval for this, and Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian even added a few more backup routes in the report, in case any unexpected situation occurred during the raid on Qu County.

six days.

Li Yunlong, who has a keen sense of military sense, felt that the war was coming, so he went to Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, to grind his mouth early in the morning, just to get a few more boxes of grenades.

The famous scene was staged again, and Lao Li described what happened to him when he was the deputy head of the independent group, embellishing it with extravagance:

"Don't mention it, that idiot Kong Er is too unkind. I give him a part-time job, and he is fine. Let alone a hand grenade, he is reluctant to give half of the bullets."

"Old Zhang! If I don't come to your place to get some equipment, next time I go to the battlefield, our old Li should go up with a big knife and fight the little devil. Maybe next time you will see Li Yunlong alive. It's Lao Li lying in the coffin!"

In the end, when it came to the moving part, Li Yunlong almost burst into tears.

Although Zhang Wanhe was aware of Li Yunlong's innocence, he couldn't help Li Yunlong's soft-heartedness, and Li Yunlong happily took forty boxes of grenades away from the logistics department.

As for what exactly Li Yunlong promised Zhang Wanhe, so that the so-called iron rooster's head of the logistics department gave ammunition, no one knows.

On the night of the [-]th, the independent group of the Eighth Route Army officially kicked off its raid near Yangquan. The main target was the tracks of the Zhengtai Railway near Yangquan.

At the military meeting before the start of the raid, Kong Jie said: "Since the beginning of last winter, the little devils in North China have implemented a "cage policy" to strengthen law and order, such as railways as pillars, roads as chains, and blockhouses as locks.

This Zhengtai Railway is one of the important transportation lines for the little devil to implement this policy.

This time, according to the task assigned by our superiors, we are to destroy the traffic line of the Zhengtai Railway in Yangquan. "

"Look at the sand table, the deployment of the little devil's troops. The devil has built some strongholds along the railway line, large and small towns, stations, bridges, and tunnels. The smaller strongholds may only have a dozen, and dozens of devils guard them. There can be hundreds of people stationed at one point.

There are devil's transport trains on the railway line, and sometimes armored trains are sent to patrol.

The main passages of ten to fifteen kilometers on both sides of the railway are guarded by the devil's outer line strongholds.

We want to destroy the tracks of the Zhengtai Railway. The first step is to remove the devils' outer strongholds. "

"On the sand table, the political commissar and I have marked these strongholds. Our goal tonight is the Zhengtai Railway track in the eastern section of Yangquan. The task is to destroy the Zhengtai Railway track in the eastern section of Yangquan, at least 200 meters."

"According to the numbers given to the Japanese military strongholds on the sand table, tonight, according to our travel route, from the outer line to the inner line of the eastern section of the railway track, there will be No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] strongholds in sequence."

"The following is the order of the regiment headquarters. The first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion marched at the same time. They were responsible for quickly destroying the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] strongholds. The Japanese reinforcements on the right, after the second battalion successfully destroyed the No. [-] stronghold, quickly circled to the left to block the reinforcements from the left, and after the third battalion successfully removed the No. [-] stronghold, they went straight to the Zhengtai Railway in the eastern section of Yangquan and carried out a sabotage operation."

"Remember, the battle starts when the gunshots sound, and we only have two hours until the sabotage mission is successfully completed. The pre-planned operation time is one o'clock in the morning, that is to say, as soon as three o'clock in the morning arrives, regardless of Whether or not the raid mission is completed, the whole regiment must evacuate immediately, and you three battalion commanders are in charge, and no mistakes are allowed in the middle."

"Yes!" Wang Leihu, Shen Quan, and Wang Huaibao responded in unison.

"Check the table."

Kong Jie greeted the battalion and company commanders and checked the time on the watch.

Finally, after entrusting some details, Kong Jie gave the order to set off.

Due to the poor communication equipment of the Eighth Route Army, in order to obtain front-line information and make appropriate command adjustments, Kong Jie and political commissar Zhao Gang naturally could not continue to sit at the Independence Regiment's garrison, planning strategies and winning thousands of miles away, but participating with the soldiers action.

On the way, Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, couldn't help asking: "Commander, where's the fourth battalion? Why don't you see you arrange combat missions for the fourth battalion? And, where's the deputy commander? Why haven't you seen him?"

Kong Jie said: "I have other arrangements for Li Yunlong and Siying, so don't ask any more questions."

The Eighth Company Commander in the team said: "Regimental Commander, if you want me to say that the cavalry company is more comfortable, when we left the station, Company Commander Sun was still sharpening his saber there! But no matter how sharp the knife is, it can be used as well. If you can’t fight the battlefield, you can’t kill the devils, isn’t that in vain?”

Kong Jie couldn't help laughing from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe Sun Desheng was afraid that his saber would not be sharp enough to cut off his head, so he sharpened it before leaving?
As for the issue of the cavalry company still staying at the station, Kong Jie naturally would not tell the eighth company commander and others.

That was purely to deceive people and avoid being exposed in advance.

When the time is right, when the various divisions of the Eighth Route Army begin their sabotage operations and the entire area becomes a mess, the opportunity for the cavalry company will come.

"Okay, as long as you talk a lot of nonsense, just take care of yourself. Why are you talking so much?"

Kong Jie reprimanded a few words, and the eighth company commander died down.

Brat, you are still laughing at the cavalry company here!

Just wait, after this battle is over, you boy should look at the cavalry company with admiration.

night.

One point.

With Kong Jie's order, the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the three battalions successfully lurked to the designated position under the cover of night, and launched an attack on the Japanese No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] strongholds at the same time.

A fierce offensive and defensive battle is imminent.

Almost at the same time, the Pingding-Yuci section and Zhangjing section, the Pinghan, Deshi, Tongpu, Baijin railways and Handa and Lintun highways around the base of the [-]th Division were attacked by the Eighth Route Army.

This is naturally the unified arrangement plan of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

What they want is to attack at the same time, beat the little devil to the ground, and take the opportunity to complete the attack on the Zhengtai Railway.

Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, was awakened from his sleep.

Communications from all directions reached the headquarters, saying that various strongholds and road sections along the Zhengtai Railway were attacked by the Eighth Route Army one after another.

Yoshio Shinozuka was dumbfounded. In Shanxi, since the Imperial Japanese Army implemented the cage policy, the living space of the Eighth Route Army has been gradually compressed, and the roots of the various places have been divided into one piece after another.

Shinozuka Yoshio originally wanted to use this move to gradually nibble away at the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army has also been passively defending and retreating. As time went on, even Shinozuka Yoshio arrogantly thought that the Eighth Route Army was helpless against the imperial army's might and could only sit and wait for death.

But at this time that no one expected, the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a counterattack.

And showed a strong counterattack from the beginning.

Shocked, Shinozuka Yoshio immediately got busy, and a series of communication orders were sent from Taiyuan City.

Along the Zhengtai Railway, Japanese troops in strongholds of all sizes quickly received the news that the Eighth Route Army launched a large-scale counter-offensive focusing on destroying railways and strongholds.

The contest between the two sides escalated rapidly... Broad bean

Around 01:30 am.

The three battalions of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army successfully removed the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] strongholds of the eastern section of the railway near Yangquan, Japan.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"The battalions have successfully completed their tasks, and the first and second battalion commanders have led their troops to stop the reinforcements." Seeing Kong Jie, the second battalion commander Shen Quanhui reported.

Kong Jie nodded, and ordered: "Then don't delay, make a quick decision, and don't be afraid of making noise. This time, your second battalion specially brought a large number of explosive packs, just in time for use. The explosive consumption will not be counted for a while. Break the rails quickly, these rails are all high-quality steel, don’t waste them, try to take them with you when you leave, Dong San and the others asked me for them last time at the repair shop!”

"Yes!" Shen Quan replied, turned around and arranged for the three company commanders of the Second Battalion to say: "According to the plan before the operation, the demolition operation will be carried out quickly, and it is already 35:[-], we don't have much time left, hurry up. "

"Yes--"
