The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 372 Firepower Configuration of the Fifth Battalion

... After Yoshio Shinozuka's questioning ended, Kazuki Yamamoto's calm eyes gradually changed into the sharpness of an eagle and the ferocity of a wolf.

"Your Excellency, the special agent team has the expertise of the special agent team. It may not be possible for the special agent team to destroy the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but I am still very interested in killing the headquarters of the independent regiment and cooperating with the army combat troops to destroy the independent regiment in one fell swoop."

After Yamamoto finished speaking, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help laughing. This favorite general who used to be supercilious and hardly paid attention to combat units below the division level of the Eighth Route Army is now much more pragmatic.

"Yamamoto-kun, you've improved a lot!"

"Hi!" Yamamoto said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency the General often teaches that lions fight rabbits with all their strength, and that the secret service team's constant setbacks at the hands of the independent regiment is due to Yamamoto's carelessness."

"The biggest opponent is often the best teacher. Now I understand very well that if you can't even get rid of the small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, how can you talk about the promotion of special operations? Perhaps Yamamoto's path of special operations will stop here. "

"Destroying the command system of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, eliminating the leader of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie, and destroying the Independent Regiment is Yamamoto's biggest obsession at present!"

Shinozuka Yoshio asked: "Yamamoto-kun, have you thought it through?"

"Hi!"

"Then let's do it! Destroy the Independence Regiment and smash the bad words about the Great Japanese Empire.

Break the defense of the Eighth Route Army's so-called Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi.

I have already issued an order to the Ishii Regiment, you go to Ishii-kun, this time you two join forces, please make sure to wipe out the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in one fell swoop. "

"Hi!" Yamamoto replied loudly.

……

After leaving the headquarters, Yamamoto did not stop, and rushed directly to the headquarters of the Ishii regiment, and found the Japanese commander Ishii Haraichi.

Yamamoto and Ishiiharaichi are still alumni, both graduated from the Imperial Army University of Japan.

The difference is that Kazuki Yamamoto graduated three periods earlier than Kazuki Ishiihara.

It can be said that at this moment, Kazuki Yamamoto, a high-achieving student from Imperial Continental University who graduated three semesters ahead of schedule, has the same military rank as his junior Ishiiharaichi.

There are natural reasons for this:

After graduating from the Continental University of the Japanese Empire, Kazuki Yamamoto was not interested in large corps operations. His interest lay in studying the emerging military discipline of special operations. For this reason, he even went to the Munich Special Military Academy in Germany for further studies.

Because of this, Yamamoto also missed the opportunity to make meritorious service on the Chinese battlefield, so Yamamoto is the lowest rank among the graduates of the same period in mainland China.

Most of his classmates have been among the ranks of famous army generals.

Because of these resumes, and the fact that Yamamoto is a few years older than Ishiiharaichi, when Kazuki Yamamoto stood in front of Ishiiharaichi, although he didn't put on too much gesture, Ishiiharaichi was at the same military rank. However, he still treats Yamamoto as a senior.

"Senior, this time we are going to deal with the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, we should focus on the seniors, and Ishii is willing to assist." Ishiihara said solemnly.

Yamamoto said: "Ishii-kun, I am not good at commanding the regiment to fight, so you don't need to be too modest, this time you and I will fight together, and your regiment will be responsible for positive containment.

Before your main force attacks the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's base, I will lead a special agent team to destroy the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's headquarters system one step ahead.

You then led the troops to destroy the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop while the command system of the Eighth Route Army was paralyzed.

This is the general tactical cooperation this time. "

"Yuxi, it sounds very simple." Ishii Haraichi said.

The Japanese Army Wing is the first-level combat unit of the Japanese Army and the most important combat unit at the tactical level of the Japanese Army.

In the Japanese army, only combat units at the wing level will have a military flag, and this military flag is awarded by the Japanese Emperor himself, which symbolizes supreme glory.

If the Sergeant is the cornerstone of the Japanese Army and the General is the head of the Japanese Army, then the Colonel is the backbone of the Japanese Army and the mainstay supporting the Japanese Army system.

To a certain extent, the Japanese Colonel, as the wing commander, can be regarded as the highest tactical commander of the Japanese army.

In other words, when it comes to the understanding of tactics and the application of tactics in actual combat, in the Japanese army system, the Japanese army commander can basically be regarded as the tactical ceiling.

Yamamoto didn't dare to underestimate the junior who was three years younger than him.

In this joint battle between the two sides, what Kazuki Yamamoto needs Ishii United to do is to be responsible for containing the independent regiment from the front and creating opportunities for himself to behead the independent regiment headquarters.

As for the follow-up task of destroying the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it was naturally left to Ishii Haraichi.

The two were talking, and they came to the sand table, marked the area where the independent regiment's base was located, and started discussions on the next step of specific military offensives.

"Senior, please take a look. According to the relevant information obtained by the intelligence department of the headquarters, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was stationed in this area of ​​Niukou Village around the end of last year."

"It's not a long time to say that the independent regiment has been stationed in Niukou Village, but as far as we know from the investigation, the development and construction of the base area opened by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Niukou Village is quite rapid."

"In Niukou Village, the loss of copper coins has been found out some time ago. It was done by the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army. As for the copper coins they bought, I think they are used to produce ammunition independently."

"Through this, I have reason to suspect that this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army has a certain basis for independent production of arms."

"This means that in this offensive operation, we cannot equate the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment with conventional Eighth Route Army combat troops. The ammunition they have on hand may be more abundant than we imagined."

Kazuki Yamamoto quite agrees with this point:
"That's right. In the past six months, this independent regiment has fought against our Imperial Japanese Army many times without a single defeat. Through the capture, they must have hoarded a considerable amount of equipment and ammunition in their hands."

Ishii Haraichi said: "So I believe that in this attack, although our troops still have the advantage of artillery fire, we cannot underestimate the firepower configuration of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto nodded, and then said: "Mr. Ishii, I think I should remind you that while attacking this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I think you also need to consider the new regiment around the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army." With the new second group."

Ishiihara said clearly: "Senior is right. I have been studying this point since Your Excellency the General ordered me to cooperate with your special agent team in attacking the Independent Regiment."

"Speaking of these Tuba roads are indeed interesting, I don't know if the heads of these Tuba roads have ever attended a formal military academy, and have they systematically studied military tactics."

"However, judging from the actual situation at hand, these Eighth Route Army commanders are indeed masters in applying tactics to practice."

"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, the garrisons of the three teams together form a large triangle, showing the shape of horns. If the three teams are united, they can attack and retreat. A pretty solid triangle defense."

"In addition, just look at the Niukou Village in Genqudi where the independent regiment is located. Although it is not a big village, it is surrounded by mountains. Once the military loses, they can retreat to the mountains at any time. With the help of almost There is no end to the depth, using guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare that they are good at, to drag down our attacking troops."

"For our offensive troops, because of the barrier of mountains, it is basically impossible to directly encircle the independent regiment like a plain terrain, or force the opponent to fight with us in a regular positional battle and fight for superior firepower. "

"Speaking of which, this time my senior and I attacked the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, we probably had to consider two major aspects. On the one hand, while attacking the Independent Regiment, we must beware of the support of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment to the Independent Regiment. "

"The second aspect is to deal with this independent regiment's disadvantage in fighting and retreat to the mountainous area. How can we further expand the results of the battle?"

When Ishiihara analyzed these issues, his face could not conceal his confidence.

Kazuki Yamamoto didn't understand what Ishiihara meant, so he asked along the steps: "Ishii-kun, how are you going to solve these two problems?"

Ishiihara smiled and said, "Senior, I don't think it's difficult. This time we sent troops to attack the independent regiment. The independent regiment is located near Yangquan.

The imperial troops in Yangquan will also be willing to help us intercept the Eighth Route Army reinforcements coming from the Xinyi Regiment and Xiner Regiment.

In addition, Taiyuan City, Ping'an County, and Taigu were all on alert, and they had to be on guard against the main forces of the Eighth Route Army who sensed the crisis of the Independence Regiment and took the opportunity to send troops. "

"And what my Ishii United team has to do is to quickly deploy and launch a sudden attack after detecting enough intelligence information."

"I have analyzed a series of operations of this independent regiment, and I have also analyzed the combat style of Kong Jie, the leader of this independent regiment. He uses troops boldly, and there is almost nothing he dares to do. He is a man who can flexibly apply tactics in practical applications. , improvised guy."

"Such a commander seems to have no flaws, but in fact, this is his biggest flaw - self-confidence, and he will never give up easily!"

"So I can almost be sure that when my Ishii United team advances to his independent regiment base, Kong Jie will never back down easily, and will never easily give up the base he has painstakingly developed and built in Niukou Village. "

"This gave us the opportunity and time to secretly advance our troops and destroy the independent regiment in one fell swoop."

"Even if I'm wrong, this military operation, at the worst, can destroy the development and construction of his independent regiment in Niukou village base in one fell swoop, greatly attack the arrogance of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and inspire our Imperial Japanese Army military spirit."

"However, if the senior can destroy the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment before I launch a general attack, it is best to eliminate this Kong Jie along the way. I am almost sure to destroy the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment's base in one fell swoop, severely damage, and even destroy the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."

Under Ishii Haruichi's swearing, Yamamoto Kazuki no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "Ishii-kun, please rest assured, this beheading operation, my secret service team will definitely succeed."

"Haha, that Ishii is here, I wish the senior a triumphant return in advance!" Ishiihara said with a smile.

……

……

Independence Corps.

regiment.

Just when the two old devils, Ishiiharaichi and Yamamoto Kazuki, were plotting how to cooperate to destroy the independent group.

Kong Jie was discussing with a group of battalion commanders and instructors the current organizational structure and firepower configuration of the independent regiment at the military meeting held in the morning.

The first battalion commander, Wang Leihu, was the first to ask the question.

"Regimental Commander, the current establishment of our First Battalion is not enough anyway.

We have seized so many guns and ammunition these days. The extra guns can't be left idle in the warehouse, right?
Recently, I was thinking about drawing another batch of recruits from the surrounding militia units, forming a new recruit company for training and training, and then adding them to the first battalion.

It just so happens that the comrades of these militia units have been training for almost two months under the guidance of the militia military training manual, and their military foundation is not bad. "

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, followed up and said: "Commander, if his first battalion expands, my second battalion must also expand, and I will expose his first battalion!"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Shen Quan, what are you going to expose?"

Shen Quan said: "Regimental Commander, I want to expose his First Battalion for being too disgraceful, you don't know that his First Battalion now has five companies under it.

Not to mention the four infantry companies, they also created a company of heavy machine guns. This is too shameful. They have an average of three heavy machine guns in each company of the battalion. In the end, they just pulled out a company of heavy machine guns. This is not obvious. Showing off their first battalion's equipment, are there many heavy machine guns? "

Wang Leihu said happily: "Old Shen, if you are jealous, you can just tell me directly, and don't run on me inside and out."

"What's wrong with me getting a heavy machine gun company? Let me tell you, if your second battalion has the ability, you should also get a heavy machine gun company."

"Not to mention the heavy machine gun company, I've been thinking about setting up a battalion-owned machine gun company in my first battalion recently, just to use the captured 81mm mortars."

"Regimental Commander, look, does he have a battalion? He wants to build a cannon battery!" Shen Quan scolded.

Kong Jie laughed and said: "I said earlier that the rules of our independent regiment are that those who are capable eat meat, and those who are incapable don't even think about soup. This is not only the rule of our independent regiment, but also the whole [-]th Brigade generally. This rule.

His first battalion has the ability to build a heavy machine gun company and a machine gun company, that is the ability of his first battalion.

Shen Quan, when did you become so worthless?
If you want to be so jealous, you might as well think about it carefully, how to lift up the equipment of your second battalion! "

"Exactly!" First Battalion Commander Wang Lihu shook his head triumphantly.

Shen Quan cried: "Leader, you have to say something fair!

Every time there is a combat mission in this regiment, you always think of the first battalion first, and even the main force of the first battalion was sent to fight the [-]st regiment during the Chinese New Year.

After this battle is won, will the benefits go to our other battalions?
You can't let those who die from drought die from drought, and those who die from waterlogging die from waterlogging.

His first battalion's machine gun company is ready to be built, but our other battalion has enough heavy machine gun companies! "

"That's right, Commander, you have to decide for us!"

"Captain!"

When Shen Quan said this, the first battalion was outraged, and the other battalion commanders all shouted.

Kong Jie said with a dark face: "Okay, okay, let's change the rules. Next time the regiment will have combat missions. Now that our five battalions have developed, which battalion will we send? On the one hand, I see you Which battalion commander has the right ability and the distance of the station.

If everything works, then we will draw lots and whoever catches it will count. I see what you have to say. "

"The leader is wise!"

Several other battalion commanders responded in unison, and the first battalion commander suddenly froze, and stared at Shen Quan fiercely, and Shen Quan stared back not to be outdone.

Kong Jie continued to ask: "Patriotic, tell me about the current equipment situation of your Fifth Battalion in detail."

The Fifth Battalion is the least qualified among the five battalions of the Independent Regiment, and the equipment is relatively the worst.

So Kong Jie wanted to find out the bottom of the Fifth Battalion first, so that he could have a rough judgment on the firepower configuration of the whole regiment.

"Yes!"

Du Aiguo, the commander of the fifth battalion, responded, and replied: "Our fifth battalion has three infantry companies under its jurisdiction, plus a battalion directly under the machine gun platoon, equipped with one heavy machine gun and twelve light machine guns."

"Each infantry company is equipped with a heavy machine gun, and it has three infantry platoons under its jurisdiction, and each platoon is equipped with three modified grenade launchers (the launcher with a tripod is added, and the launcher is lengthened and thickened, which can temporarily increase the amount of propellant) bag), plus three light machine guns."

"Every combat squad can be assigned a light machine gun and a modified grenade."

"Each heavy machine gun is equipped with [-] rounds of ammunition, each light machine gun is equipped with [-] rounds of ammunition, and each grenadier is equipped with [-] shells."
