The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 386 The Battle Is Coming
Fast forward to the beginning of April.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it. On the premise that the Japanese army in Yangquan was about to carry out a large-scale sweep of the base area, the atmosphere in the base area of ​​the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was heavy.

Under the leadership of Wang An, the head of the enemy industry department of the independent regiment, the enemy industry department constantly monitored every move of the Japanese army in Yangquan.

The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also took up its posture and made preparations to meet the enemy in an all-round way.

Independence Corps.

station.

Logically speaking, the heaviest burden of this approaching battle was all on the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, but from the surface, the calmest person in the whole regiment was probably the leader Kong.

There is no other reason. In this regard, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have quite the same views.

On the eve of the war, all the soldiers of the regiment were staring at the regiment leader!
If you, the regiment leader, get flustered in advance, the soldiers will have no backbone. How can we fight this battle?
So no matter how much pressure there is, the leader of the regiment has to hold back and set an example for the soldiers of the whole regiment.

In the morning, the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, took a monk with him and wandered around the root of the ground, looking at the development of the weapon repair shop, and then at the newly pulled artillery battery.

Now there are two artillery companies directly under the independent regiment.

One is the artillery company led by Wang Chengzhu.

The other is a new artillery company pulled up by the deputy commander of the original artillery company, the howitzer.

Zhuzi is now competing with the howitzer, and the two of them mustered all their strength, both wanting to bring out their own cannons to make a difference in the battle.

The artillery company led by Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the veteran artillery company, now has three 82-type infantry artillery, plus two [-]mm mortars, which are the main artillery.

The artillery company led by the howitzer, the commander of the new artillery company, has three 75mm mountain guns and two 82mm mortars, which are the main artillery.

In addition, a certain number of [-]mm mortars, projectiles, and even the latest explosive package projectiles and projectiles produced by the repair shop were added.

In the previous military meeting to deal with the raid of the Japanese Army Alliance, the commanders of the two artillery companies were tit for tat.

In the end, Kong Jie said that there is a place for them to use. This time, the Japanese army just divided into two groups, two artillery companies, none of which will fall, and each artillery company supports one route.

After leaving the artillery company again, Kong Jie suggested: "Monk, go to the newly reclaimed land and see the precious potatoes of our independent regiment!"

"Yes!" The monk replied.

The two went hand in hand and soon arrived at the place. February is the right time to plant potatoes in Shanxi, and the potato tubers have been growing for more than a month now.

The plants have already broken out of the ground, and at a glance, they are green and strong.

"Hey, leader, looking at the growth, I guess that once these potatoes are harvested, our independent group will not be short of potatoes."

Kong Jiele said: "Monk, do you like potatoes?"

The monk nodded, "I like it, whether the potatoes are boiled, steamed or fried, they are delicious!"

"Okay, I'll go back and explain to the cooking class that you, monk, replace the few taels of meat that are more than others in each meal with potatoes." Kong Jie said beautifully.

"Don't! Leader, although I like to eat potatoes, but if I really want to compare it to meat, I will definitely choose meat!"

Kong Jiele said: "Your boy has also been a monk in Shaolin Temple for ten years. You really forgot all the temple rules and regulations."

The monk clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the master said, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha kept it in his heart. This eating meat is for the strength to kill devils, and killing devils is to save the world. It is not an exaggeration to be a Bodhisattva with the same heart!"

Kong Jie: "..."

"Monk, when did your kid learn to know about people?"

The monk laughed and said: "Head, I have been learning culture from Instructor Li recently!"

It turned out that I learned it from Li Wenjie, no wonder.

All the year round, monks are not scary, but they are afraid of being educated.

Whatever this boy monk does now, he has a set of reasons, and Kong Jie, who can even speak occasionally, is speechless.

Sometimes Kong Jie couldn't help thinking, was it right or wrong for him to teach a monk with sharp edges and straightforward personality into what he is now?

……

Looking back at the large field full of potato plants, Kong Jie said with emotion: "Why is it difficult for every household to have enough to eat in a famine year? It is hard to grow some crops, either destroyed by the war, or by the officers, soldiers and bandits. To the scourge.

The situation is the same in our base area. If the potatoes that have been planted with great difficulty are destroyed by the enemy because the base area falls, it will be a waste of time. "

The monk said: "Don't worry, leader, we will definitely beat the little devil to his heart's content this time. I'm afraid the little devil won't even be able to enter the entrance of our base."

Kong Jiele said: "Is it elation or desperation?"

"Xinhua...Luohua..." The monk scratched his head, "Boss, don't these two mean the same thing?"

"..."

Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "Monk, it seems that you have to catch up with the progress of your cultural studies."

……

……

On the morning of the eighth.

When the sky is still bright.

The Japanese troops that have been increased in Yangquan for many days are almost all out.

Ishii Haraichi, commander of the First Japanese Army in Shanxi, led the Ishii Regiment to officially set off from Yangquan.

And on the evening of the seventh day.

An urgent message came from within the Yangquan puppet army. After going around the county in many ways, at a hidden place near the city gate, someone wrapped the intelligence document on a stone and threw it over the city wall several meters high. Throwing it out of the city, someone outside the city responded and got the information.

Around four in the morning.

This urgent intelligence document arrived at the Independent Regiment Headquarters.

"The Japanese army will be dispatched at around [-]:[-] in the morning. The troops will be divided into two groups to attack Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. More than [-] puppet troops have exchanged uniforms with the Japanese army and made camouflage."

This is the whole content of this urgent information.

Wang An brought a note. Kong Jie finished reading it, put down the note, turned to the monk and said, "Monk, order the messengers to call all the battalion commanders and instructors for a meeting at the regiment headquarters immediately."

"Yes!"

At the meeting, Kong Jie took out the intelligence paper, and the battalion commander and instructors circulated it and read it.

The first battalion commander Wang Leihu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Regimental Commander, this bastard is really dawdling, and he has been dragging his hands until now."

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, said: "Commander, if you put it this way, we can basically be sure now that this devil has placed his main attack point in the West Village. , so as to confuse our judgment."

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, looked at Wang An and asked, "Minister Wang, is this information reliable? I'm not asking about the reliability of the intelligence station, but about the comrades who sent out this information, what can be obtained from the enemy's interior?" Is the news accurate?"

Wang An replied: "There should be no mistakes. The source of the information this time is a platoon leader of the puppet army that followed the Shijing regiment to attack.

According to what he revealed, this time the devils dispatched a unit, that is, the Ishii unit, and the team leader is Ishii Yuanichi, an old devil who has experienced many battles.

The old devil came up with a trick to make the puppet army exchange uniforms with the Japanese army and pretend to be elites.

So that we can make a misjudgment that the devil's main attack point is in Zhangjiazhuang. "

Wang Leihu said: "This little devil is really cunning. If it weren't for the news from your enemy's Ministry of Industry in advance, we might have been deceived by the devil."

Wang An frowned and suggested to Kong Jie:
"Regimental Commander, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the information from the Ministry of Enemy Industry can be used as a reference, but we can't fully believe it. I still suggest that we investigate along the way to confirm the authenticity of the information."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "You are determined, you should indeed do this."

"In this way, for the time being, let's make a rough deployment of troops. In order to deal with the main and secondary attack routes of the Japanese army and the main attack points of the Japanese army, we will send out three veteran battalions, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion.

In response to the Japanese army's secondary attack point, two battalions, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion, were dispatched. "

"Once it is confirmed that the Japanese army is indeed attacking Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the two-line combat troops are immediately ready to go and start wolf-baiting tactics."

"Yes!"

……

……

Taiyuan City.

With an expression of sure victory, the captain of the Japanese army led the Ishii regiment and the Imperial Association Army to leave Taiyuan City and continue to move forward.

On the previous two-kilometer road, all the troops were joined together. It was not until two kilometers later that they reached the fork in the road.

Along the way, the comrades of the enemy industry department of the independent regiment lurking inside the enemy army secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Fortunately, the news was delivered in advance. The regiment leader should have known that the Japanese army was going to attack West Village and attack Zhangjiazhuang.

In this way, with the advance response, the base area can be safe and sound this time.

Soon, when the team reached a fork and needed to split into two groups, who would have thought that Ishiihara suddenly ordered the 2000 or so soldiers of the Imperial Association Corps to take off their Japanese uniforms and replace them with their own uniforms.

The soldiers of the puppet army were a little dazed, and couldn't help complaining, why did they switch back and forth?

And their own clothes, according to the order from above, have been carried in the luggage all the time, and they can only be taken out and replaced according to the order.

The comrades from the enemy industry department lurking in the camp of the puppet army were thinking fast, and when they changed back to the uniform of the puppet army, their hearts thumped.

not good!

This little devil suddenly asked to change his military uniform back, it's probably a fraud!

Then, Ishiihara gave a second order, and the team that was originally going to be sent to Xicun was actually switched with the team that was going to be sent to Zhangjiazhuang.

Originally a team of 3000 people, including 2000 Japanese soldiers wearing puppet military uniforms, set off directly towards the West Village. On the surface, there were 1000 elite Japanese soldiers.

The other road is a team of 500 people, plus 2000 puppet troops wearing Japanese military uniforms, all the way to Zhangjiazhuang. On the surface, there are 2500 elite Japanese troops.

It seems to focus on attacking Zhangjiazhuang.

This is also the superficial illusion made by the devils in order to actually attack Xicun and attack Zhangjiazhuang.

But in front of such a sudden change, the 2000 Japanese and puppet troops changed their uniforms back again.

It was 500 Japanese troops, plus 2000 puppet troops, and set off towards Xicun.

Another 3000 Japanese troops set off directly towards Zhangjiazhuang.

If you look at it on the bright side, the devils clearly intend to actually attack Zhangjiazhuang and pretend to attack Xicun.

But what is worse now is that the comrades from the enemy industry department have passed the information back and told the regiment leader Kong Jie that the devils are actually attacking Xicun and attacking Zhangjiazhuang. They also said that a large number of devils and puppet soldiers have changed their uniforms.

Then when these two troops appeared in the sight of the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance team.

According to the information passed back by the Ministry of Enemy Industry.

On the surface, there were 500 devils and 2000 puppet troops attacking Xicun.

But the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment will definitely understand that these 2000 puppet soldiers are actually devils who have changed their uniforms. These are 2500 devils.

It is to attack the West Village.

On the other hand, there were 3000 Japanese troops on the way to attack Zhangjiazhuang. However, according to the news sent back by the enemy's Ministry of Industry, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army would probably believe that the 2000 devils among them were puppet troops wearing devil uniforms.

Then, according to the judgment of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment on the elite combat forces of the Japanese army, only 1000 elite devils attacked Zhangjiazhuang Road, and 2500 elites attacked Xicun Road.

It is clear that the main attack point is on the West Village.

Not only that, what the comrades of the enemy industry department lurking in the puppet army camp did not know was that most of the 3000 devils who attacked Zhangjiazhuang were old devils.

As for the 500 Japanese soldiers who attacked West Village, there were many recruits.

From the very beginning, Ishiihara concentrated all the main forces of his alliance in Zhangjiazhuang Road.

and so……

It was a trick!

The soldiers of the enemy's Ministry of Industry lurking in the team suddenly came back to their senses, and their complexions changed slightly. Fortunately, the sky was still numb, so they would not reveal their expressions.

This is definitely a devil's trick. All the previous arrangements were to confuse the opponent's judgment.

Now, the regiment headquarters could judge the correct situation on the surface, but the enemy industry department's advance communication will be disturbed.

"No, I have to find a way to get the news out!"

Several soldiers of the enemy industry department lurking in the team secretly said.

"Listen well, the Royal Association Army's team is based on each platoon. The squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander have all given me a good look at the team. If there is one who falls behind in the middle, you, as commanding officers, direct military law. disposal."

Ishii Haraichi's latest order was issued, and the Imperial Association Army was startled.

The soldiers of the enemy Ministry of Industry lurking in the dark have a secret idea, the devil is guarding against his group!
It seems that the little devil doesn't trust the Imperial Association Army either.

By this time it was getting brighter again.

It would be difficult to pass the news back now, not to mention that there was no way to escape now, and there was no time at all.

... Head, something is wrong, we have been tricked, you must discover the devil's tricks in time, don't be paralyzed in your judgment!
The soldiers of the enemy's Ministry of Industry are now powerless and can only pray secretly in their hearts.

Ishiihara followed the team, but he was not in the front row of the team. That position was not safe. Ishiihara, who was always cautious, arranged his military headquarters in the front row of the team.

Before the division of troops, Ishii Haraichi finally explained to the Japanese army captain who led 500 Japanese soldiers and 2000 puppet troops, and said: "Remember, now, according to the information of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, these 2000 imperial association troops are actually 2000 Imperial elite.

So after you are on the road, you have to urge the 2000 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to step into one order and step out of the aura of our imperial army. After the Eighth Route Army secretly investigates, you must feel that this is not like 2000 soldiers of the Imperial Association Army. 2000 imperial elites.

In addition, our 500 imperial soldiers were placed in the front row, and heavy weapons were also moved from the team to the front row to confuse the judgment of the Eighth Route Army scouts. "

"Hi!" The ghost brigade leader responded.
