The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 178
……

"Regimental Commander, according to the time we agreed with the cavalry company, the cavalry company has been marching towards Qu County for nearly an hour, and I don't know how the situation is going, whether the road is smooth or not."

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan spoke, his expression was full of worry.

Kong Jie was silent for a moment, then said, "We should trust Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, they will definitely be able to do it."

"Yes, they certainly can!"

After finishing speaking, the two were silent. Kong Jie looked at the mountains in the distance. His eyes seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and fell on the cavalry company that was rushing towards Qu County.

The final break lies with the cavalry company.

At the same time as the cavalry company set off, the long-lost mechanical voice sounded in Kong Jie's ears:
"Trigger mission: Surprise Qu County and win in one fell swoop."

"Mission reward: an important Japanese military intelligence letter, any attribute of choice +3."

……

Japanese Army Command.

The devil's attention is now divided between the Eighth Route Army and Xiao'an Town, which were engaged in the raid on the Zhengtai Railway Line.

On the Eighth Route Army's side, while carrying out the raid on the railway line, they were also paying attention to the situation in Xiao'an Town.

The boss and the brigade commander scolded and scolded, but when it came time to help, they were not ambiguous at all.

Although the main task this time was to destroy the various communication lines of the Japanese army mainly on the Zhengtai Railway, as well as large and small strongholds, it seemed that it was not a bad thing for the Eighth Route Army to take down one or two towns.

Since you want to counterattack, counterattack thoroughly, and kill the devil's prestige.

For this reason, the reinforcements rushed westward from Xiao'an Town, that is, the direction of Ping'an County. The boss even issued an order to ask the teams that were conducting raids to pull out part of their troops to block the reinforcements and indirectly support Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town.

Now, Li Yunlong, who was attacking Xiao'an Town with great fanfare, suddenly became the focus of Northwest Shanxi.

The Japanese army passed through the defense of Xiao'an Town, and the Eighth Route Army passed through Li Yunlong's attack. The two sides started a partial contest over Xiao'an Town.

And this partial competition is getting more and more intense.

In order to rescue the precarious Xiao'an Town, the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army continued to deploy reinforcements and increased reinforcements after being repeatedly blocked.

On the Eighth Route Army's side, soldiers came to block, water came to cover, the devils increased reinforcements, and we also increased reinforcements, and the two sides invested more and more troops.

With the development of the situation, it is even a little out of the control of the command headquarters of both sides.

Surrounding the area of ​​Xiao'an Town, the forces of all parties are in a pool.

Now the little devil is even more confused. Did the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly launched a counterattack, come rushing to attack the town, or to attack the railway line?

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Seeing that the situation in Xiao'an Town was developing in a predictable direction under his deliberate guidance, and when the time gradually matured, the boss did not hesitate and issued the latest order: "Build the plank road in the open, keep the warehouse in the dark, and take advantage of the attention of the devils to attract you." In the direction of Xiao'an Town, the rest of our troops immediately followed the orders of the headquarters to launch sabotage operations against large and small bridges, stations, railroad tracks, and strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway."

With the further development of the situation, the strength of the Eighth Route Army has exceeded the imagination of the Japanese army.

Even though the two sides were stalemate in the area of ​​Xiao'an Town, the Eighth Route Army could still free up a large number of troops to continue the sabotage operations along the Zhengtai Railway.

It was such a time difference, a simple mobile battle, and the Japanese army directly suffered a dark loss.

Brigade.

The brigade commander laughed happily, and after the laughter, he sighed bitterly, "The attack on the Zhengtai Railway, to be honest, was a major counter-offensive launched by us out of helplessness, and it was destined to be a arduous and excellent battle.

One is to break the cage policy of the Japanese army and break the blockade and division of the Japanese army's base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

Second, in recent years, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War has continued to deteriorate. As far as the situation in Shanxi is concerned, the Japanese army, the puppet army, the reactionaries, and the surrender faction are becoming more and more rampant, and the wave of compromise with Japan is becoming more and more pervasive.

This battle was fought not only for our Eighth Route Army itself, but also for the entire Second Theater, in order to alert, curb and even prevent this tendency to compromise with Japan.

So we have to fight, considering the so-called cage policy of the Japanese army, which relies on the railways and roads to give full play to the mobility advantages of their mechanized troops, then we must completely destroy their road lines and railway lines, so that their mobility Sexual advantage is lost.

Our enemy is very powerful, with strong troops and well-equipped equipment. The so-called cage policy has almost made the defense of the entire North China airtight, but as long as it is a so-called defense, there will always be loopholes, and the devil's cage policy is no exception.

Since the devils built a large number of bunkers and strongholds along the railways and highways, the number of Japanese bunkers and strongholds has increased exaggeratedly. Take our Eighth Route Army guerrilla area as an example, only in Northwest Shanxi. The number of bunkers and strongholds may have exceeded thousand.

But because of this, it exposed a weakness of the devil.

What weakness?The bunkers and strongholds are dead, and it is impossible for the devils to run around with the bunkers and strongholds on their backs.

In addition, the devils need to send troops to garrison these strongholds and bunkers. One stronghold may not consume many devils, but ten, hundred, or thousand strongholds add up, and the required troops are a huge number. , Even the little devils are also stretched in terms of military strength.

The more fortresses and strongholds the little devils build, the more dispersed their troops will be, which is beneficial for us all to fight more and fight less.

At this time, our army suddenly launched a counterattack. How much mobile force can the Japanese army deploy to deal with us?
If we fight the Japanese army with mobile warfare tactics, the Japanese army will inevitably fall into exhaustion and hardship between the garrison stronghold and mobile warfare. Isn't this the biggest weakness of the seemingly powerful Japanese army?
Coupled with Li Yunlong's disturbance in Xiao'an Town, a large part of the Japanese army's attention was attracted to the past. This is an excellent opportunity for our army to take the opportunity to launch a mobile war and destroy the Japanese army's railway and highway lines. "

The political commissar said with a smile: "I have to admit that Li Yunlong is a lucky general."

The brigade commander said: "It's just the beginning of our sabotage operation on the other side, and the Japanese army will surely recover soon.

The fortifications around Xiao'an Town cannot be delayed.

Li Yunlong has been in Xiao'an Town for too long. Once the reinforcements from the Japanese army continue to increase, our side will either withdraw passively and abandon Xiao'an Town, or we will have to fight the Japanese army around Xiao'an Town.

This is not in line with our original intention. "

"Yeah, I hope Li Yunlong can move faster!" said the political commissar.

The brigade commander said with a headache: "What I'm more worried about now is that according to Li Yunlong's temperament, if he can't eat Xiao'an Town, this kid will never give up.

In a short period of time, Li Yunlong's attack on Xiao'an Town can attract the attention of the Japanese army and indirectly cover the sabotage operations of troops from other directions.

But if the time is too long, the situation may get out of control. Thinking about it this way, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of attacking Xiao'an Town, but it was a foolish move! "

The political commissar said: "So, when we really have no other choice, we can only order Li Yunlong to retreat."

"That's the only way to go." The brigade commander said helplessly...
