The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 404 Flipping Tactics
The Japanese army is preparing to launch a big raid on the Taihang area on NO.12. The time seems to be tight, and there are less than two days left.

However, the Japanese army has been planning for this for a long time, and has already made various preparations.

As for the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese believed that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was attacked by the Ishii Regiment only a few days ago.

The attention of the Eighth Route Army should have been drawn to Niukou Village.

At this time, a large-scale raid was suddenly launched, and the Eighth Route Army must have been caught off guard, and the effect was the best.

It's just that the little devil is too arrogant and looks down on the judgment and wisdom of the commanders of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, on the day when the Ishii United was defeated by the Independent Regiment, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the [-]th Brigade Headquarters, through the attack of the Ishii United and information obtained, revealed the secret mobilization of Japanese troops in the surrounding counties.

The commanders of the headquarters and the brigade headquarters have already judged that the Japanese army may launch a large-scale raid on the Taihang area.

This is the usual method used by the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese raids when it is behind enemy lines.

After all, the anti-war environment behind the enemy is difficult and the enemy's situation is complicated. Unlike the national army, at least there is a big rear.

The Eighth Route Army was in an extremely unstable enemy rear that could be raided by the Japanese army at any time. How could it be unfamiliar with the process and symptoms of the Japanese army's sweep?
Niukou Village.

Independent regiment, regiment headquarters.

Wang An, head of the enemy industry department, arrived with an anxious look on his face. After entering the room, he made a report to Kong Jie and reported: "Regimental Commander, you really expected it. The attack of the Ishii Regiment After it's over, it's not over yet, there seems to be a big move behind the little devil..."

Kong Jie said: "It's not difficult to think about it, the little devil has always wanted to take Jinnan, but before taking Jinnan, he must first deal with our Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, the Ishii Regiment suffered a great loss at the hands of our independent regiment. The longer time passes, the more it will affect the devil's morale.

If I were a little devil, I would take advantage of the new defeat of the Ishii United Army, and the underdogs must win, and directly launch a large-scale sweep to suppress the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area. "

"Leader, if you put it that way, the devil's raid this time must be unprecedented in terms of scale and intensity. It is far from what the Ishii United Team was able to match a few days ago. How are we going to deal with it?" Wang An worried.

Seeing that Wang An was worried, Kong Jie patted Wang An on the shoulder, smiled and said in relief, "Don't think too much, soldiers will block you, water will cover you, and besides, the sky will fall and there will be a tall man holding it up! You fucker!" What heart?"

Suddenly, Wang An slapped his forehead, and said cheerfully: "Yes, even if the sky falls, there is still the leader to support it! You are right, leader, I don't want to think about anything, you just give the order."

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Your mind is really changing so quickly, that's all right, you sit at the regiment headquarters for a while, and when the battalion commander and instructors arrive, we will discuss in detail how to deal with this big raid by the Japanese army." .”

"Yes!"

"Monk, inform the general training class to gather the battalion commanders and instructors to the regiment headquarters for a meeting immediately."

"Hey!"

The monk outside the house responded and turned to carry out the order. Not long after, the battalion commanders and instructors gathered at the regiment headquarters and entered the house.

The meeting place is placed in the main room, and now the independent regiment has a big business, five battalion commanders, plus instructors, and three people, Wang An, Monk, and Kong Jie, there are more than a dozen people in total, the room is too small. I really can't fit.

The meeting started immediately, the cadres moved a long bench, three people sat on a bench, and sat in two rows.

According to the requirements of the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, a wall was cleared on the inside of the main room, and a large map covering Yangquan and the surrounding counties was hung on it.

Not far from the map is the transferred beach.

In this way, the combination of the floor plan and the real scene map makes the analysis more accurate.

In Kong Jie's words: "This kind of arrangement is rich enough. Just like Lao Li, put a small map on the small square table, pick and search, and a few people form a circle with their heads down and squeeze their heads to see , that’s too lacklustre.”

There is also a baton in his hand, of course, it is just a wooden stick that the monk cut out of willow wood outside, and it is polished smooth, so it becomes the baton in Kong Jie's hand.

Commander Kong stood there holding the stick, pointing the other end of the stick to a certain position on the map.

The room really feels like a staff department.

In fact, Kong Jie was also thinking that when enough talents were found in the future, it was time to set up a regiment-level staff department in the independent regiment.

"Everyone knows the news, the Ishii United team was defeated by us, but next, the little devil is going to play a big battle, and it seems that he wants to launch a large-scale raid on our entire Taihang area. "

First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu spoke, his face was not worried like Wang An, but excited, "Haha, Commander, I'm waiting for the little devil. I haven't had enough of the battle in Zhangjiazhuang last time." !"

As usual, the commander of the first battalion overwhelmed everyone with a domineering air. As long as he heard that there was a war, he would not be unhappy.

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander, likes to argue with the first battalion commander. As long as the first battalion commander speaks first, Shen Quan will be the second to speak, and what he said is still the opposite of the first battalion commander.

"Lei Hu, don't learn from Master Guan, you will lose Jingzhou carelessly.

The little devils are not made of mud, just say a few days ago when they attacked the battle between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, the Devils Alliance secretly cooperated with the Yamamoto Special Forces to attack our headquarters.

This is our independent regiment. If the Ishii unit and the Yamamoto special unit join forces to deal with other units of our Eighth Route Army, what will happen? "

As soon as this question was raised, the cadres fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if Ishii United and Yamamoto's special forces dealt with other troops this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The scale of the devil's attack on our base area this time is much larger than that of the Ishii United Unit. This has completely exceeded the scope that our independent regiment can deal with."

"Even if our independent regiment has strong troops, excellent equipment, and good combat quality, we can block the devil's attack on our base area from the front, but if other troops can't stop it, the devil can still directly surround our independent regiment base area from other directions."

"So, Commander, I think that in response to the devil's large-scale raid this time, our tactics must be adjusted accordingly."

Shen Quan expressed his thoughts.

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Shen Quan is right, we agree on this point."

"Our Eighth Route Army troops have always adjusted their tactics in time according to the scale of the devil's sweep in response to the devil's sweep."

"If the scale of the devils is not large, we will carry out anti-mopping up and hold the base area. If the scale of the devils is too large, we can tactically abandon the roots and rely on depth to fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with the devils until the devils' big sweep is overwhelmed. .”

"Speaking of this, I also want to ask you commanders what you think of this big raid by the Japanese army."

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, just say what you think of."

Everyone looked thoughtful.

After a while, Li Wenjie said: "Leader, let me share my personal opinion. This time we fought against the Ishii Regiment and severely damaged the Ishii Regiment. The devils must be hostile to our independent regiment."

Shen Quan laughed and said: "Will the devil not hate our independent regiment? What did the Ishii United team do this time? They just want to avenge the little devil."

Li Wenjie said: "That's the reason, so if the Japanese army launched a big raid, we don't know about other troops, but the devils will definitely put a considerable part of their focus on our independent regiment. If we don't wipe out our independent regiment, the little devil will not Give up easily."

"In addition, we have won a big victory against the Ishii United this time, but our strength has basically been exposed."

"The little devils have always been very efficient in military affairs. They will formulate corresponding attack plans based on our exposed strength. When the time comes, the Japanese army that will attack our independent regiment will definitely be stronger than the Ishii United."

"So I think that in the face of the heavy pressure of the Japanese army, it would not be the best choice for us to put all our troops in the defense of the villages around the base area, and defend to the death under the Japanese attack. Casualties are unavoidable, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Lei Dasheng, the commander of the fourth battalion, said: "But we can't just throw it to the little devil, right? We have spent so much time building defenses in the villages, and there is also a large amount of wasteland reclaimed around the villages. Crops such as potatoes have already been planted." Quite a lot, if it is really thrown to the little devil, even if the devil retreats, he will destroy all the land we have worked so hard to plant before retreating."

Li Wenjie said: "It's not that we don't guard, but we can't all stick here."

"If you don't make up your mind to defend, how can you defend?" Lei Dasheng asked back.

Li Wenjie said: "But we can't put all our eggs in one basket. I suggest leaving some troops to carry out guerrilla warfare in the villages for defense, and retreat the main force while covering the transfer of villagers."

"The devils are ruthless this time. For our independent regiment, there will probably be heavy troops on the border. At that time, there will be no shortage of sharp weapons such as planes and tanks. The defense construction of our village is solid, but it is still difficult to stop the devils' planes. cannon."

"In addition, I estimate that after the devil's sweep began, most of the orders from the headquarters were also transferred to avoid the edge."

"This..." Lei Dasheng didn't know what to say.

Shen Quan couldn't help asking: "Everyone can't think about it carefully. Is there any way to keep our base area? It's not easy for us to have the current situation. Such a good construction cannot be destroyed just because of a big raid by the devils." It's all ruined."

The cadres thought for a long time, but each of them was helpless, and finally focused their attention on Kong Jie.

"Captain—"

While the cadres were chattering and discussing, Kong Jie had been thinking about countermeasures. Now that he had a plan in mind, he was naturally not in a hurry. He said with confidence:

"I almost understand everyone's thoughts. Let me talk about the first point first. No matter how to deal with the Japanese army's sweep this time, it is necessary to transfer part of the troops and cover the villagers in various villages to evacuate to the safe area in the mountain area in advance. step forward."

"Old Du, Wen Jie, on this point, your Fifth Battalion will arrange some manpower to be responsible. The militiamen in each village, as well as the comrades in our newly formed district team, will cooperate with you in your actions. You must wait until the Japanese army's mopping up troops arrive at the final stage." Before the surrounding West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, all the people around our base area were transferred to a safe area."

"Yes!"

Du Aiguo, commander of the fifth battalion, and Li Wenjie, the instructor, responded in unison.

"Commander, what about us?" First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu asked.

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Lei Hu, I said why are you so anxious, if the head of the regiment left us behind, there must be a battle."

When Wang Leihu heard that there was a war, he immediately smiled, and didn't bother to argue with Shen Quan, "We rely on the defense of the village to launch a counterattack. Even if the devils have five times more troops than us, they may not be able to defend."

Kong Jie shook his head, and called directly, "The Fourth Battalion Commander."

"Here!" Ray stood up loudly.

Kong Jie said: "This time, your Fourth Battalion will be the main force, plus most of the troops from the Fifth Battalion will be responsible for the defense of Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang, and Niukou Village."

"The specific defense is generally arranged in echelons, and block the attack in sections. Using the defense construction in Xicun, Zhangjiazhuang, and Niukou Village, the Japanese army is constantly blocked to consume the effective strength of the Japanese army."

"Mine warfare, curtain-raising warfare, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, use whatever tactics work best, and make it difficult for the devils to move after entering the village, and every step of the way will go to hell."

"We have to teach the little devils a good lesson so that they can improve their memory. We Chinese people's villages are not something they can enter if they want to."

"Yes, please rest assured, the regiment leader, the Fourth Battalion promises to complete the task!" Lei Dasheng replied, his eyes lit up, this is a tough battle.

"After the battle begins, you can control the specific commands yourself. Remember, you need to apply them flexibly. When things get impossible, the base area is dead, but the people are alive. The folks have already evacuated, so we don't have to fight for the base area. , you can abandon the village and evacuate from the rear mountainous area, our secret transportation passage leading to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment."

"Yes!" Lei Dasheng replied.

On the other side, the first battalion commander, the second battalion commander, and the third battalion commander were a little confused.

Why did the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion give orders, but my three veteran battalions haven't moved yet?

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the three veteran battalion commanders, Kong Jie said with a smile, "Don't worry, you three. Let me ask you, do you like to defend or attack?"

Wang Leihu said without hesitation: "Commander, that must be an offense. Who wants to passively defend? That would be really unpleasant."

Although Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao didn't speak, they meant the same thing.

Kong Jie said: "That's right, keep the three battalions of you - the main force of our independent regiment, to attack."

All the cadres in the meeting room who said this were dumbfounded, Shen Quan reminded: "Leader, there are little devils in front of you who are going to start a big raid, and the devils are attacking!"

Kong Jie said, "I know that the devils will be the ones to attack after the sweep begins, but they attack theirs and we attack ours. This is not a conflict."

After hearing this, Shen Quan was the first to come back to his senses, and said with surprise on his face: "Leader, look at what you mean, do you have a way to deal with this big raid?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "The method is very simple. The devils attack our base with heavy troops and beat the main force to our base. Then we will also detour the main force to the devil's rear and hit the devil's rear. Prepare, there is an empty force in the rear to fight the devils, you can understand this as a flipping tactic.

From our ancient art of war, it is a bit like encircling Wei and saving Zhao. The devils sent heavy troops to sweep up our roots, and they thought they were sweeping every inch of land.

Due to the withdrawal of troops, the rear is in a state of empty troops.

In this case, the devils' rear area was attacked, and the main force of the Japanese army who raided the base area would definitely have to come back for reinforcements. If there were more troops to come back, then we would laugh at the devils they stayed in our base area to mop up.

There are too few troops returning to aid, so we will eat up the team in the county seat on the way.

In this way, I want to see how rampant his little devil can be. "...
