The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 379
On the side of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Jiang Dao was arranged to discuss business, and on the side of the [-]th Regiment of the National Army, Ye Min was arranged to send a reconnaissance team to investigate and collect evidence.

Kong Jie called Wang An, the head of the enemy's Ministry of Industry.

After showing Wang An the list given by Dai Yong, Kong Jie said:
"During this time, I will focus partly on the 71th Regiment of the National Army and the [-]st Regiment of the Jinsui Army, trying to infiltrate these two regiments, and obtain evidence that these two regiments colluded with the Japanese army.

Remember, our goal is not to expose the actions of these two regiments, nor to take the opportunity to eliminate these two regiments, but to find a way to stabilize the two national armies.

Grasp their handles, and then use these two national army teams behind enemy lines. "

Some time ago, Wang An reported to Kong Jie in detail about the development of the independent regiment's enemy industry department.

Since the heads of the Taiyuan City authorities of the Japanese Army Takeda Eijiro and Kudo Takashi were eliminated one after another, the enemy Ministry of Industry finally seized the opportunity to successfully infiltrate Taiyuan City, which had not been able to infiltrate.

Nowadays, in the major counties around the Independence Regiment's station, there are basically the figures of the Independence Regiment's enemy industry department.

Some of these comrades from the enemy industry department are lurking in the camp of the puppet army. On the one hand, they can obtain military information at any time, and on the other hand, they secretly instigate some puppet troops.

Some of them are in the county town, under the cover of shops, restaurants, etc., and obtain relevant information through some exchanges with the Japanese and puppet troops, so as to keep abreast of the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county.

Kong Jie is quite satisfied with the development of the Ministry of Enemy Industry.

"Besides, it's the same as last time. Keep an eye on the area around our base, especially the enemy-occupied counties and towns mainly in Yangquan. Maybe the devils will launch a big raid against our independent regiment during this period. We must be prepared in advance. , be ready to deal with it."

"Yes, please rest assured, the leader, and ensure that the task is completed!"

After explaining to Wang An, Kong Jie thought about it, and a series of things were basically done.

Now, he is focusing on the last key point - how to deal with the retaliatory sweep against the Independence Regiment that the Japanese army is likely to set off.

Kong Jie was sure that the Japanese army would retaliate against the Independence Regiment.

Even if Ding Wei and Li Yunlong didn't remind him of this, Kong Jie had always been preparing for it.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?

Ever since the Independence Regiment changed its defense against Niukou Village, it has confronted the Japanese army everywhere, and Kong Jie has long been preparing for the retaliatory sweep that the Japanese army will launch against the Niukou Village base area.

I have tossed so hard, it would be weird if the little devil didn't come to take revenge.

While thinking about how to deal with the Japanese army's retaliation against the Independence Regiment, Kong Jie walked out of the house, went to the gate of the courtyard and shouted outside: "The communication squad is assembled, go to each battalion to inform the battalion commanders and instructors, and immediately go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. "

"Yes!" The messenger soldier who had been waiting outside the door answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Soon, the five battalion commanders and several instructors all arrived.

At the beginning of the military meeting, Kong Jie directly pointed out the theme: "Since our independent regiment changed its defense against Niukou Village and developed the base area of ​​Niukou Village, the Japanese army has not really launched a retaliatory attack against our independent regiment.

But this will happen sooner or later. Those of you who are battalion commanders and instructors should have been mentally prepared for this, right? "

The first battalion commander Wang Leihu said: "Regimental commander, we have been stationed in the Niukou village base area for a long time, and the devils will get the news sooner or later, plus this period of time, we have made a lot of trouble.

Looting, counterattacking the Japanese army, destroying the [-]st regiment of the stubborn army and surrendering to the enemy.

The devils will deal with our independent regiment base area, that's for sure.

But we are not in vain to the little devils, the defense construction of our Niukou Village is quite stable now, we are afraid that the little devils will not come, if the devils come, it will be just for the little devils to taste their strength. "

The Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan thought more, and said: "Lei Hu, you can't carry a trump card and explode right away, right?

What is the most difficult point in the construction of our Eighth Route Army base area?
That is the big raids that the devils will launch from time to time. Maybe the economic construction that we have spent several months, or even a year and a half, will be destroyed by the devils in one big sweep.

At that time, everything will have to be restarted, which is why the economic construction of our base areas cannot develop. "

Wang Leihu asked: "Old Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Quan said: "What I mean is, we are based on the more and more solid defense construction. We can't use it immediately. This is the hole card of our base area. If it is exposed in advance, the devil will definitely strengthen the mopping power in a targeted manner, little devil After all, they have more soldiers and better equipment than ours.

Generally speaking, we can't beat the little devils.

Therefore, the internal construction of our base area can be hidden from the devils for one more day, as long as it is hidden for one more day.

My suggestion is that once the little devil wants to launch a big raid against our independent regiment's base, the enemy industry department will definitely get the news one step ahead, and then we will put the battlefield on the periphery of our base.

It is best to put them on the outskirts of the surrounding villages and drag the devil troops to the desolate mountainous areas to fight, so that no matter whether we win or lose, we at least do not expose the specific situation of the base area and avoid damage to the construction foundation of the base area. "

Fifth Battalion Commander Du Aiguo said: "Old Shen, if you want to put it this way, we have worked so hard in the base area, and the defense arrangements put up by the surrounding villages, wouldn't it be useless?"

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Of course it will come in handy, but how can we use a butcher's knife to kill chickens? The defense construction of our base area is reserved for the devils to mobilize on a larger scale. If the devils only attack our independent regiment, As for letting us use all the cards?"

As expected of the second battalion commander, after this analysis, the other battalion commanders and instructors nodded one after another.

Everyone then looked at Kong Jie.

Kong Jie agreed: "Shen Quan is right about this point."

Shen Quan smiled, and glanced triumphantly at Wang Leihu.

"When it comes to the specific defense of our base area, different responses and adjustments should be made according to the situation of the Japanese army."

"When the scale and strength of the devil's troops are different, the defensive measures we respond to are also different."

"For example, the Japanese army dispatched not many troops. As long as there is no more than one regiment, as Shen Quan said, we don't need to put this devil in the village or our base area to fight again. There is no need for no reason. It consumes the defense construction of our base area."

"Then how do we fight? Find a way to place the battlefield in the mountains outside the village."

Lei Dasheng, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, asked: "Commander, what if the little devil is not fooled? If the devils attack our independent regiment, they will probably find out some news about our base area. If they don't know, they will go straight to our base area coming."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "So, some tactical cooperation and application are required.

As long as the tactics are applied properly, we have the final say on how we fight the little devils, where we fight, and when we start the fight.

For example, the devil army went straight to our base area, we can use wolf-baiting tactics.

What does that mean?It means luring the enemy to go deep. This little devil regards himself as a wolf. What does he think of us?As a sheep, then let's act as a sheep according to the meaning of the little devil.

For example, arrange a small group of troops, pretending to encounter devil troops by accident, and the two sides fight, our small group of troops will be defeated directly, and then lure the devils to chase after them, leading the main force of devils to the place where we want to start the war. This is the wolf lure tactic. . "

"Of course, if the devil's commander is a shrewd guy, a small group of troops may not be able to lure this devil into taking the bait. Whether the little devil will pursue it or not depends on the size of the bait."

"So if a small group of troops fails to lure the devils, we can increase the intensity of the bait, such as sending a company of troops to lure the devils, or even send a battalion of troops to lure the devils. We are not afraid that the little devils will not take the bait."

The second battalion commander Shen Quan's mind was spinning quickly: "Hey, regiment commander, this is a good idea. I have another suggestion. We can even find comrades from the local troops or militia troops, pretend to be this bait, and put it on when the time comes." The uniform of our regular army.

It just so happens that the devils are not very clear about the firepower configuration of our independent regiment, so we just need to put a few more heavy machine guns in this team.

The little devil must have thought that this was the main force. If he could run into our main force outside the village, the devil would never let it go.

Fighting our Eighth Route Army, the little devils like this kind of encounter the most. As for entering the village, they are afraid of being ambushed by us! "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "You have a lot of tricky ideas, kid."

Wang Leihu asked: "Commander, you haven't finished your sentence yet. What if the devils attack our base?"

Kong Jie asked back: "How big is this massive attack?"

"For example, the devil's force is more than one regiment, or even a brigade." Wang Leihu said.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Then it's time to lift the defensive trump card built by our base area, arrange the militia troops to quickly cover the masses, and retreat from the village according to the speed and method of evacuation in usual exercises.

What we have to do is simple, put the devils into the village, and with the help of a series of defensive methods we have arranged, we will fight against the little devils in curtain warfare, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, ambush warfare, and mine warfare.

It's hard to say at that time, you still think the devils are not enough to kill! "

Kong Jie said this so easily that the cadres couldn't help laughing.

Kong Jie continued: "This situation is not too bad. Let's use the defenses of the villages and base areas to fight back. Once the devils suffer, they can only be forced to withdraw."

"Further up, what if the Japanese army launched a larger-scale raid, or even a sweep that swept across our entire Taihang Mountain base?"

The next topic, Kong Jie, was not discussed further.

He smiled and said, "It's still too early to say these things. I called you here this time to talk about how to deal with the Japanese army's attack on our independent regiment."

"Look at the sand table. In the morning, when Lao Ding and Lao Li and I talked about the devil's possible attack on our independent regiment, we finally judged the location of the attack. The devil's attack route is nothing more than two points, one is Xicun, and the other is Zhangjiazhuang."

Shen Quan nodded and said: "Regimental Commander, these two routes are indeed the most likely. Our generation is under the jurisdiction of Yangquan. If the Japanese army wants to launch an attack on our independent regiment, they will probably send more troops to Yangquan in advance.

At that time, when the devils send troops, they will probably start from Yangquan, and it is more suitable to take these two routes as they are closer.

As for the mountainous areas in the middle of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, it is unlikely that the little devil will choose this road. "

Kong Jie said: "That's the reason, so there are four possibilities. First, the devils concentrate their forces and go all the way to Zhangjiazhuang; second, the devils concentrate their forces to go all the way to Xicun; Fourth, the devils are still divided into Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun, and one is the main attack, and the other is a feint."

"As far as we are concerned, I don't think the scale of the devils this time will be too large, so our goal is to prevent the devils from entering the village, and put the devils in the mountains outside the village to fight."

"Then the section of Changpo in Xicun, and the section of Aoya in Zhangjiazhuang, these two places are the best places for us to use the terrain to launch an ambush against the Japanese army."

"If we can lure the Japanese army to fight in these two places, we will basically win half of the battle."

"This is called the right time and place. We have all taken advantage of it. As for the equipment, the devil will not be too clear about the specific firepower configuration of our independent regiment. When we show our cards, the little devil will know how powerful it is."

The battalion commander and instructors nodded repeatedly.

"Head, from what you said, this devil's attack on our independent regiment hasn't started yet! We've already won."

Ha ha ha ha--

Kong Jie said: "Don't be careless. In fact, there are two points that we haven't considered. This one is the air support of the Japanese army. Once the devil's army is under our siege, the little devil will probably use fighter jets to support it.

The other is the problem of the devil's reinforcements. Once the devil's attacking troops are frustrated, the devils in the surrounding enemy-occupied districts and counties will not stand by and watch. "

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Commander, there is only one problem left, the problem of the devil's air support.

As for reinforcements, you forgot, we also have reinforcements!

After more than two months of hard work, our Independent Regiment, Commander Li's New Second Regiment, and Regiment Ding's New First Regiment have all established secret troop transport channels.

This passage can be regarded as being carved out by us with bayonets one by one. The road is paved with sleepers. When the raid happened, the sleepers ripped off the devil's rails came in handy.

Using these sleepers in the mountains can ensure that you will not lose your way in the mountains, take shortcuts, and use bicycles and unicycles for transportation, and it is easy to carry heavy weapons.

According to this preliminary estimate, it will take less than two hours for Regimental Leader Li's reinforcements to arrive at our Independent Regiment. Regiment Ding's new regiment is a little further away, and it will take no more than three hours to reach our Independent Regiment.

As for the Japanese army, it would take at least three hours for the reinforcements from Yangquan, which was the closest to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, to arrive, unless they used trucks to transport all the troops directly.

There is a certain time difference in between, we can take advantage of it. "

Kong Jie said with a dark face: "You boy, begging for others is better than asking for yourself, besides, do you think that Lao Li and Lao Ding came to help us for free?

When the battle is over, these two old boys will definitely get a share of the equipment and supplies we seized! "

The cadres were speechless for a while.

Well, the head of the group still wants to eat alone!
Then they discussed some details of how to deal with the Japanese attack. Kong Jie changed the subject and mentioned the Battle of Jinnan.

"I have also discussed this with Lao Li and Lao Ding. Each of our regiments will send out a company of troops, and we are going to be stationed near Zhongtiao Mountain in advance to wait for the opportunity to send troops."

"The requirement for the troops of this company is to have elite soldiers and strong generals, especially good at mountain warfare, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and ambush warfare."

"In addition, I would like to say something to tempt you. Our Taihang Mountain base area is now fighting steadily, and there are not many opportunities to eat meat. In addition, the devils have implemented a cage policy around our Taihang Mountain base area. The blockade of our base area is quite serious. It has largely inhibited the development of our base area and the growth of our troops."

"But the Zhongtiao Mountain area is different. That place is not yet the territory of the devils. If the worst happens and the national army is defeated, the Zhongtiao Mountain area will not be controlled by the little devils so strongly."

"This is a good opportunity to fight guerrilla warfare. Zhongtiao Mountain is not small. At that time, the devil's team will be scattered around after fighting the national army. In addition, the troops will be exhausted. There will be opportunities to eat meat everywhere."

"In addition, once the national army is defeated, there will definitely be a lot of troops left on Zhongtiao Mountain. If we don't absorb these troops, we will let the devils absorb them as traitors sooner or later."

"Most of the officers in the national army are pocketed, greedy for life and afraid of death, but most of the soldiers are from poor backgrounds like us, and their quality is not too bad."

"These are all good sources of soldiers, which are much better than the newly recruited recruits."

"It's hard to say that if we send out a company, it won't take a year or so, and we can even pull out a regiment."

"So what I mean is, I'm asking you to see if there is a suitable candidate for the company commander. We have to prepare for this matter earlier and select the team in advance. We can set off when we don't know."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, the five battalion commanders were all ready to move.

The temptation in this is too great. If you send out a company, you can even take back a regiment. Who doesn't like such a good thing?
After pulling the team back, one of my own battalions might become a regiment...
