The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 377 The Joint Plan of the Iron Triangle
Ding Wei was able to predict the occurrence of the Jinnan Battle three months in advance. Kong Jie admired Ding Wei's advanced strategic vision.

At this moment, when Ding Wei mentioned the matter of joint defense operations, Kong Jie asked:

"Old Ding, what do you think about the joint defensive operations of our three regiments?"

"Let's talk on the sand table!"

As Ding Wei said, he walked into the inner room of the Independent Regiment Headquarters with ease, walked to the sand table, pointed out the locations one by one, and said, "Old Kong, Lao Li, you see, the Independent Regiment has been making the most noise since this period of time." Well, the little devil will probably regard the independent regiment as a thorn in his side, and once a big raid is launched, I think the independent regiment will be the first to bear the brunt. Our triangle defense system is based on the independent regiment."

"To the northwest of Niukou Village, where the Independent Regiment is located, is Lao Li's New Second Regiment, and to the northeast is my New First Regiment."

"And Niukou Village is near Yangquan, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Yangquan, which is occupied by the devils. If the Japanese army wants to mop up your Independence Regiment, they will probably send troops from Yangquan."

Kong Jie said: "On this point, Lao Ding and I thought about going together. I have also issued an order these days to ask the enemy's Ministry of Industry to step up surveillance on the little devils in Yangquan and the surrounding counties. But if there is trouble, our independent group can Get the news immediately."

Ding Wei nodded, "This is the best way. It is definitely better to fight a battle that is prepared than one that is unprepared."

"Old Kong, if the Japanese army in Yangquan sent troops to attack your independent regiment, which way would the devils choose?"

Kong Jie pointed out two points, one is Xicun and the other is Zhangjiazhuang.

"It's nothing more than these two paths!"

"Actually, there are three roads from Yangquan to my Independence Regiment's station. Of course, what I'm talking about is the road chosen by the devils nearby. I don't think the devils in Yangquan will come around from your old Li Laoding's defense zone and insert themselves into our Independence Regiment. The back side of the regiment, right?
So there are only three roads left in Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang, and the middle section between Xicun and Zhuangjiazhuang. "

Ding Wei said: "Old Kong, since there are three roads, why do you conclude that the devils will not choose the road in the middle of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "This is where we are so good. The devils like to fight positional warfare and face-to-face confrontation, so that they can take advantage of their artillery fire and make use of their strengths to avoid weaknesses. But in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare in the mountains, even if the little devils are well-equipped , because they are not familiar with the terrain, they are not as good as us."

"The middle section between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang is mostly mountainous, and the terrain is complicated. It is easy for devils to get lost on this road, and they are even more likely to be ambushed by us."

"The other thing is the little devil's urgency. When this devil launches a big raid on our base area, he always likes to hug grass and beat rabbits. Even if we can't destroy our Eighth Route Army, he also wants to sweep some villages and towns along the way, at least to get some supplies back."

"Through persecuting the people on the way, if we can get the internal defense situation of our Eighth Route Army, it will be smoother for the little devil."

"Based on these points, we can basically judge that if this devil comes to our independent group, he will either go the way of Xicun or Zhangjiazhuang."

Ding Wei said: "That's easy to say, Old Kong, once you notice the devil's movement and the direction of attack, now there is a radio station for internal communication among the three regiments, and the news will be passed on as soon as possible. He and Lao Li will send troops to arrive quickly."

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Old Ding, the situation may not be as bad as you think. Don't worry about it. If there are not too many devils coming, my independent group will make a round of it. You two should not come to join in the fun." .”

Li Yunlong scolded: "Okay, old Ding, our hot faces can be regarded as sticking to cold buttocks, and Kong Er's idiot doesn't appreciate it!"

Ding Wei said with a smile: "Old Kong, don't think too well, you have tormented the little devil enough during this time, and with the situation of your independent regiment, if the devil did something, even if he didn't touch it, he would be inseparable." Ten, at least some information must be obtained.

Your Independence Regiment is considered strong now, and the little devils sent fewer troops, so they came here to deliver supplies to you.

Sending too many will easily lead to unnecessary large-scale battles, so if I were a little devil, the strength of a regiment is the best strength to deal with your independent regiment.

However, if the devils only send one regiment over, they must also consider the issue of reinforcements. When Lao Li and I are here, most of the devils from nearby counties will march at the same time, blockade the area around our two regiments, and prevent us from The two regiments supported Niukou Village. "

Li Yunlong agreed: "That's for sure. If the little devil really doesn't care about me and Lao Ding, even if the devil's alliance is here, it's not impossible for us three regiments to fight together and eat up this devil's alliance in one bite."

Ding Weile said: "Lao Li, you're a toad yawning so loudly, I admit that once the three regiments of the Iron Triangle fight together, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be weak.

But the little devil is not a vegetarian. Think about it, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, until now, our Chinese army has never wiped out a single regiment of devils, right? "

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Interesting, since it has never happened before, let's try it, maybe our old Li was born just to create history."

Ding Wei: "..."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Lao Li, be serious, what Lao Ding said is right, it is not easy to wipe out a whole regiment of devils.

The devils take advantage of their well-developed lines of communication, and reinforcements can arrive at any time. If you want to eliminate a regiment of devils, you may have to face a brigade of devils.

In addition, don't forget the devil's plane, we don't have that thing, once the devil's unit is in danger, the devil will definitely use fighter jets.

Including killing the Yamazaki brigade in Lijiapo last time, if I hadn't asked Ye Min to lead the team in advance, they would blow up the neighboring Mingbao Airport and the oil depot they had stored for a year or two.

In the battle at Lijiapo, we are afraid that we will still be bombed.

Now after such a long time, the devil has rebuilt the airport in order to ensure the support of fighter jets in the northwest of Shanxi.

In future large-scale battles with the devils, we have to take into account the aviation support that the devils may arrive at any time. "

Li Yunlong cursed and said: "The little devil of the dog day is bullying that we don't have bombers. I said, old Kong, can't you let the commando bomb the devil's new airport again?"

Kong Jie smiled wryly and said, "Old Li, you little devil is not stupid, if you were fooled once, can you still be fooled a second time?
After Mingbao Airport was rebuilt, the devils stepped up their vigilance.

In particular, the defense against infiltration and sneak attacks by small combat units like our commandos has been strengthened.

In order to ensure the safety of the newly built airport, the devils even created a full-time security system for the area around the newly built airport.

What do you mean?
From the reconstruction of the airport to the defense of the airport, all were replaced by Japanese soldiers, and there was no chance for any Chinese to get involved.

Around the airport, the devils also raised a lot of military dogs. They built gun towers around the airport, and put up a cordon a few hundred meters away. The defense was like an iron bucket. It was a fly, and I am afraid it would not be easy to fly. go in.

This is what Ye Min and the others came back from their investigation some time ago.

If you want to repeat the old trick and blow up the devil's airport, I'm afraid it won't work. "

This is also reasonable. The little devil's response methods have always been quick. If the commandos could blow up the airport again and again, why would the Anti-Japanese War be fought so hard?
Kong Jie continued: "So some time ago, I also explained that it is time to increase some air defense infrastructure for the development of the base area.

It is always good to dig more air-raid shelters. Once the devil's bombers come over, they will also come in handy.

Also pay attention to the concealment of our troops.

With the help of the cover of these high mountains, the devil's reconnaissance plane may not be able to find us, and it will not waste shells at will for some villages. "

Kong Jie's words reminded Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, they both nodded and took this matter to heart.

For a long time, everyone has neglected air defense in the construction of base areas. In fact, the construction of air defense is very necessary, especially in base areas that need to be stationed for a long time.

Then the topic changed, and Ding Wei talked about the Battle of Jinnan.

Kong Jie, who had known the final outcome of the Battle of Jinnan for a long time, immediately asked a question, "Old Ding, Lao Li, tell me, if the Battle of Jinnan really happened as Lao Ding speculated, what will happen in the final battle?" How is the result?

Can the national army hold Jinnan and Zhongtiao Mountain? "

This question seemed a bit heavy. After Kong Jie asked, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were silent.

After a long while, Li Yunlong uttered four words, "I see enough!"

Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong, "Old Li, tell me!"

"Come on, let's talk about the big map." Li Yunlong greeted.

In Kong Jie's regiment headquarters, there is a large map of Shanxi hanging on the earthen wall in the main room, which is quite detailed.

When he was still robbing the area occupied by the devils, Kong Jie led the team to destroy a certain headquarters of the devils, and then grabbed the map in his hand.

To say that the map drawn by this little devil is indeed accurate enough, even as small as a river and a stone bridge, it is clearly recorded.

The key point is that it would be fine if the devils occupied the area. There are still some places that are clearly occupied by the Jinsui Army and the Central Army, but they are still clearly explored by the devils.

The devil's intelligence reconnaissance and infiltration capabilities can be seen from this.

Later, after the maps were snatched back, Kong Jie found a translator, Huang Baldzi, who translated all the Japanese on these maps into Chinese, and there was the big map in front of him.

Li Yunlong found Zhongtiao Mountain on the map and said: "This Zhongtiao Mountain lies on the Yellow River in the north, and is sandwiched between our Taihang Mountain and Huashan Mountain. The mountain is long and narrow. It stands to reason that if the battle takes place in this area. Most of the battlefields are in mountainous areas. The defending troops The attacking Japanese army could have been stopped at the foot of the mountain by taking advantage of the condescending terrain.

If our Eighth Route Army guards on Zhongtiao Mountain, it’s nothing to say. In addition to frontal defensive operations, we can also use the terrain and features of the mountain to conduct guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. This is our specialty.

But right now, the national army is defending Zhongtiao Mountain, and I don't think it's enough to expect them to fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare.

In addition, although the Zhongtiao Mountain has a long and narrow terrain, looking at it vertically, the strategic depth is not enough, the land is not fertile, and there are not many people settled in the vicinity, and the ability to support the army is very poor.

In addition, Zhongtiao Mountain is backed by the Yellow River. Once the national army stationed here is besieged by the Japanese army on Zhongtiao Mountain, the logistics supply of the national army may only be transported through the Yellow River. At that time, the ferry will become too important. up.

But is the little devil a vegetarian?If I were a devil, I would have to cut off the logistics supply line of the national army on the mountain immediately, and send a plane directly to blow up their ferry.

When the time comes, the National Army troops standing on Zhongtiao Mountain will run out of food, regardless of whether it is the Central Army or the local army, how long can they last?

In addition, it's not like you don't know what kind of urine these national army troops are, but you can still expect them to stick to Zhongtiao Mountain with one heart?

So I say, enough! "

After Li Yunlong's analysis, Ding Wei laughed: "Lao Li, Lao Li, I am a little impressed by you. When will you be able to analyze such a big war situation so well?"

Li Yunlong said solemnly: "Old Ding, you don't look down on people anymore. Our old Li has been learning from Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao said that learning makes people progress. It's not my bragging, but our old Li's progress during this period is the most important thing." You and Lao Kong are tied together, and you are not as educated as our Lao Li."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie gave a contemptuous "tss".

"Old Ding, what do you think?" Kong Jie asked again.

Ding Wei shook his head and looked helpless: "From the beginning of the battle in Nanjing, to Shanghai, to Xuzhou, and then to the loss of half of the mountains and rivers, we admit the heroic achievements of the national army in the war of resistance, but the fact that even though they were defeated in the battle, that doesn't mean anything." In front of your eyes."

"As a soldier, as a patriotic Chinese, I hope that the national army can defeat the little devil and bring good news."

"But I have to admit that my views on the possible battle in southern Shanxi are basically the same as that of Lao Li."

"That's enough!"

Kong Jie was silent, deeply moved in his heart.

I don't know if it is the sorrow of the national army or the helplessness of the nation.

Perhaps long before the start of the battle, the generals, soldiers, people from all walks of life, and even the common people who predicted the war did not have much expectation.

Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War on the frontal battlefield.The defeat along the way, the failure of the national army seems to have become the normal state that everyone takes for granted.

Once in a while, winning a fight can make people overjoyed!
"Okay, Lao Li, Lao Ding, then let's plan for the worst."

"In addition, I just want to ask you a question, if the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan starts, do you two want to get involved?"

"What do you mean?" Ding Wei asked.

Kong Jie said: "If southern Shanxi, especially the Zhongtiaoshan area, can be kept in the hands of the Central Army, we can't be suspected of actively engaging in friction. Naturally, there is no need to develop any base areas in that area, but if there is the ultimate In a bad situation, if Zhongtiao Mountain falls, are we going to give up this great Zhongtiao Mountain to the little devil?"

"So what I mean is that once the Battle of Jinnan breaks out, we may not be able to intervene. After the result comes out and the dust settles, if the worst happens and Zhongtiao Mountain falls.

If we send troops nearby in advance, we can wait for the opportunity to fight, fight guerrillas on Zhongtiao Mountain, and open up Zhongtiao Mountain base area. At least we can't let the little devils go rampant in Zhongtiao Mountain. "

Ding Wei said: "People have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries. I agree with this."

Li Yunlong said: "I also agree."

Kong Jie said: "That's easy to say. After we each return to the station, we will prepare in advance and select a team from the army. In terms of scale, I don't need to be too big. One company is enough, but it must be good at mountain guerrilla warfare. elite troops."

"Old Ding, Lao Li, think about it, once the national army is defeated in Zhongtiao Mountain and the national army is dispersed, those who have no time to retreat may have to stay in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and use the mountains and devils to fight guerrilla attacks.

But what experience does the national army have in guerrilla warfare? "

"Maybe in order to survive, I turned around and surrendered to the enemy."

"If we can take the opportunity to incorporate these remnants of the national army, I don't need to say how much benefit we can get from it?"

"In addition, the Zhongtiao Mountain Headquarters won't just watch, and if it's not good, they will send a team over there. Let's go there early, so as to occupy a home court, so as to save the oil and water from being taken away by others."

"So the scale should not be too large. I suggest that each of us send out a company of elites to fight together after arriving at the Zhongtiao Mountain area."

"Otherwise the scale will be too big, and Lao Li may have to feed the brigade commander's horses again."

Li Yunlong: "???"

When Ding Wei thought of the last joint battle, Li Yunlong had recited all the scapegoats, and couldn't help laughing: "That's the case, Lao Li, Lao Kong is all thinking of you!"

Li Yunlong: "..."
