The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 174 Li Yunlong's Small Abacus

As far as the Eighth Route Army is concerned, once the counterattack begins, the Japanese army will be unprepared at the beginning, and the effect will naturally be the best.

For example, in the raid tonight, the independent regiment is the best example.

The main force of the three battalions suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese strongholds No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] at the same time.

Before the battle began, Kong Jie said with high spirits: "Looking at our entire [-]th Division, I, Kong Jie, am not bragging. Among the regiment-level combat units of our entire division, when it comes to weapons and equipment, our independent regiment definitely ranks first." number one."

"The devil's stronghold is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. That's all compared to the regiment with sparse artillery and scarce equipment."

"But a main group like our independent group with a lot of firepower, let me tell you, the devil's stronghold, no matter how big or small, is like meat on a chopping board in front of us. I can eat whatever I want."

"Once the battle starts, remember it for me. Ammunition consumption is not important. What matters is people. What matters is time. As long as you can take down the devil's strongholds with the least sacrifice and the fastest speed, the devil has been fighting for more than a year." Over time, the ammunition and supplies hoarded in the stronghold are not enough for us to replenish?"

"Tell you, we will only get richer and richer!"

……

Kong Jie's explanation seems to have been lingering in the ears of the battalion and company commanders of the Independence Regiment.

When the battle broke out, the battalion and company commanders spared no effort to carry out Kong Jie's orders.

For example, the No. [-] stronghold in charge of the first battalion is a small and medium-sized stronghold, and a small Japanese army is stationed in the stronghold, plus some puppet troops.

However, the firepower is quite abundant. Coupled with the layout of the stronghold, the fortifications outside are in place, including trenches, barbed wire, mines, bunkers, and gun towers.

If the Eighth Route Army troops with scarce artillery for attacking fortifications came here, even a regiment might not be able to defeat them.

Just a small team of devils, plus some puppet troops, is enough to rely on the abundant ammunition reserves in the stronghold, and the various fortifications are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can easily persist until the reinforcements arrive, and even turn defeat into victory.

It's a pity that the little devil met the team of the independent regiment this time.

Without further ado, Wang Leihu, the first battalion commander, told the little devil with practical actions, what is meant by strong firepower, all defenses are like nothing.

The barbed wire fence on the outside of the devil's defense, Wang Leihu had someone blow up a big hole with a dynamite package.

As for the artillery bombardment, the little devils in the stronghold only had four grenade launchers in their hands, but Wang Leihu directly used six grenade launchers and even mortars to bombard the devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold. The whole person was almost dumbfounded.

The attacking team was not at all the same as the Eighth Route Army team they were familiar with, which was short of ammunition.

The fierce firepower made the devils in the stronghold unable to even raise their heads.

Some members of the bombing team arranged in the first battalion were even more amazing. The grenades thrown out went through the machine gun holes of the devil's gun towers and bunkers.

Over the past month, Wang Gensheng's particularly solid bombing training for the bombing team has achieved quite obvious results.

Wang Leihu took the opportunity to dispatch a small charge team and quickly broke through the devil's gun towers and bunkers.

After the devils were almost dead, the rest of the puppet army was easy to talk about. Wang Leihu sent someone to shout out. In order to survive, the puppet soldiers surrendered one after another, and even turned their guns to deal with the devils, for fear that the Eighth Route Army would wipe them out together.

In the end, it took no more than 15 minutes from the start of the attack to the destruction of the No. [-] stronghold.

The situation in the second and third battalions was basically the same as that of the first battalion.

After successfully breaking the railway tracks in the eastern section of Yangquan, for the independent group, it is far from over.

Before the night fell, just when the little devil thought that the independent group had chosen to withdraw, Kong Jie, a brave man of Yigao, led the team to fight back.

As a result, as soon as the devil's reinforcements arrived, the No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] strongholds were ordered by Kong Jie to blow up when they evacuated, and the fortifications were destroyed long ago.

The little devil hadn't even stood on his heels yet, how could he have expected that Kong Jie would suddenly come back with his team.

After a fierce battle, a squadron of devils who came to support them was repelled by the independent regiment, with more than half of the casualties. If they hadn't retreated quickly enough, they might have been wiped out by Kong Jie.

All parties are fighting in full swing, surrounding the area of ​​the Zhengtai railway line, there are too many large-scale battles that broke out in a short time.

Just in the direction of Pingxiang, where no one noticed.

When it was approaching dawn, a unit of the Eighth Route Army suddenly launched a fierce attack on Pingxiang.

The Japanese army in Pingxiang defended desperately. With the help of the bright sky, they detected the situation of the attacking troops. It seemed that they were all the Eighth Route Army, with a large number of 500 troops.

The firepower is even more ferocious, with light machine guns, grenades, mortars, and even the roar of heavy machine guns.

The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Pingxiang did not dare to delay, and quickly reported to the Japanese higher command that Pingxiang was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Now, the raid around the Zhengtai Railway has been escalated and expanded again.

The Japanese army headquarters was a little shocked. Could it be that these Tuba roads are crazy?

It's okay to launch a counterattack suddenly and attack the Zhengtai Railway and the surrounding strongholds, but now it's crazy enough to hit the township.

What exactly does the Eighth Route Army want to do?
Could it be that they wanted to launch a major counter-offensive, not just to attack the railways and pull out the strongholds, but even to seize the major villages and towns in one fell swoop to recover the lost land?

This is a terrifying chain effect, because of this, the news that the small Ping Township was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army even spread to the Taiyuan City Command, and reached the ears of the Japanese Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio.

Shinozuka Yoshio was also a little surprised by this, and then thought it was ridiculous, these damn Eighth Route Army, could they be so arrogant that they thought that their Eighth Route Army could already compete with the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire?
But in any case, everything should not start lightly.

Although Pingxiang is not big, it is related to the face of the Japanese army.

For this reason, Shinozuka Yoshio even personally issued a communication order to let the Pingxiang defenders stick to it. The headquarters will immediately send troops to support Pingxiang, and the Eighth Route Army must not let the Eighth Route Army take down Pingxiang.

So, everything was reproduced according to the situation when Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had a military simulation confrontation on the sand table.

Considering the problem of rapid support, the Japanese Army Command issued an order to ask Qu County and Xiao'an Town to send reinforcements respectively to quickly support Pingxiang.

Originally, in this order, the reinforcements included the strongholds around Pingxiang.

It's just that the Eighth Route Army's counterattack was fierce, and it also targeted the railway line and various strongholds in towns and villages. The Japanese army's strongholds were unable to protect themselves for a while, and there were no many troops to support Pingxiang.

In the mountains facing south of Xiao'an Town.

Li Yunlong, deputy head of the independent regiment, didn't have the time to think about the devil's thoughts. He looked at his watch and counted the time. A company he sent to attack Pingxiang should have already attacked Pingxiang with the cooperation of the local troops and the militia. More than 20 minutes.

The time is ripe, it's time to attack Xiao'an Town.

When he gave the order, Li Yunlong said with arrogance: "Zhang Dabiao, tell the brothers, Li Yunlong doesn't care about making small troubles. If you attack a few strongholds and tear down a few sections of railway lines, what good will there be?"

"If you want to do it, let's do it with a big ticket."

Zhang Dabiao has been with Li Yunlong for many years, so he naturally saw through Li Yunlong's thoughts immediately, his eyes widened three points, "Head, my God, don't you want to take down Xiao'an Town?"

"Hey, that's what I mean."

Li Yunlong said: "Although Xiao'an Town is not as luscious as Qu County, it is still one of the devil's transportation towns. Although the attack on Xiao'an Town is also a cover for a surprise attack on Qu County, you have to make this cover realistic enough to let you The little devil completely believes that since this is the case, we might as well do the fake show."

"Since we've all come here, I can't come here in vain. We won't make this trip in vain by taking down Xiao'an Town in one fell swoop and seizing the supplies and arms warehouses in Xiao'an Town."

"With this batch of seizures, heh heh, the new Second Regiment that we plan to take over in the near future will be regarded as having a fortune."

"But, Captain, if this matter becomes serious, if the superior blames it..."

"Bullshit, I'm just a deputy. Even if the superior blames it, it's the head of the group, Kong Er, who is stupid!"

"Why do you think I listen to him obediently?"

"Hey, I'm going to let Kong Jie take the blame for me! It happened that during the Battle of Cangyunling, I took the blame for him once, so it's evened!"

"Speaking of which, Lao Kong's reputation in the brigade, division, and even the headquarters has always been good. Even if there is an occasional disturbance, the boss will not do anything to him."

"Just treat it as if I owe him a favor to Lao Kong!"

Li Yunlong thought happily...
