The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 406 Spring Cleanup

The monk passed on Kong Jie's confession to the third platoon leader.

The blunt third platoon leader was a little silly, "Company commander, no, it means that the girl is really a reporter from Jinnan, not a spy?"

The monk said: "That's the case, but what the head of the group means is to protect this reporter Shen and take care of it by the way, and don't let her run around. The devils are really going to attack. At that time, reporter Shen and the reporter must be kept together." The masses moved together."

"Arrange a good place for her, and specially arrange for two comrades to protect her. You can also take her around in suitable places."

"Yes!" The third platoon leader nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Company commander, what is the right place?"

The monk said without a word: "Use your brain more, such as the living conditions of the villagers around us, how we usually get in touch with the villagers, some training for the troops, and some educational lessons for the soldiers. Check it out.

The head of the regiment said that with the presence of reporter Shen, we can pass on the heroic image of how our independent regiment fought against Japan behind enemy lines.

And some things, such as the specific firepower layout of our team, our weapon repair shop, and our explosives factory, don't let reporter Shen know about these, understand? "

"Understood!" The third platoon leader understood.

……

regiment.

Kong Jie called some cadres from the district team, plus the militia captains from each village.

At the meeting, Kong Jie said seriously, "Comrades, little devils are inhumane. I think everyone should remember the tragedy when Nanjing was destroyed."

"A few days ago, our Independence Regiment fought against the Ishii Regiment in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, which severely damaged the Ishii Regiment and wiped out more than 1300 devils. The medicines they hoarded caused the wounded soldiers of the devils, and many of them died without treatment."

"Think about it, with the vicious nature of the little devils, will they not avenge such a big revenge?"

"So after you go back, you must do your ideological work and the folks in each village well. Don't take chances. Once the little devil enters the village, he will not treat everyone as a human being, and he will not take his life seriously. At that time, it is possible to burn, kill, prostitution and looting."

"So, our comrades must take responsibility. After receiving the news that the devils are approaching the village in advance, we must follow our usual evacuation drills and training for the villagers, and organize the villagers to bring food, livestock, and property, and quickly transfer to a safe place. In the mountainous area, wait until the devils have completely left before returning to the village."

"The remaining militia comrades, don't put the enemy's battlefield in the wild, just put it in the village, use the defense construction of the village to deal with the devils, make good use of all kinds of mines and traps at hand, but don't try to be brave, devils Once a large number of people enter the village, you immediately retreat, and as for the village, if you lose it, we can take it back again."

"Yes!"

The cadres of the district team responded with the militia captains.

……

Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, is working with his staff on a plan for the spring sweep based on a map of the northwestern Shanxi area.

"This time, the North China Front Army Headquarters formulated a spring sweep against the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, with the intention of completely smashing the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area.

In response to the order of General Tada Jun, commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army, our First Army is preparing to launch a big raid against the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area on the morning of the [-]th.

Previously, Taiyuan, Ping'an County, Zhangzhuang, Taigu, Tanxian, Shouyang, Yangquan and other counties surrounding the area where the Eighth Route Army was active in Northwest Shanxi were secretly actively raising troops and hoarding rations for the mopping up troops.

At that time, the mopping up forces will mainly be dispatched from the three directions of Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Taigu. It is expected to dispatch three brigades, plus various units of the Imperial Association Army, with a total of more than [-] people to launch a large-scale mopping up of the Eighth Route Army's base areas. "

Hearing the news, the officers of the Japanese army in the meeting room were sitting in danger, and the chief of staff of the First Army Ayumi Kitagawa said:

"General, the base of the Eighth Route Army is located in a mountainous area with a huge strategic depth. If our army wants to complete the sweep of the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army, it may not be possible in a short period of time."

"Our soldiers should prepare at least five days of rations, and collect local materials on the way, and capture them from various villages in China along the way to supplement the army's rations."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and agreed: "Mr. Beichuan is right. In addition, the implementation of the Sanguang Policy this time allowed the Eighth Route Army to be rampant in the occupied areas of the Japanese Empire to this day. They did not rely on the large and small villages around the base area. , Are there still those Chinese thugs who don’t want to be obedient citizens of our Great Japanese Empire? If that’s the case, all the villages that the Eighth Route Army relies on will be wiped out.

Leave the uninhabited mountainous areas to the Eighth Route Army, and then use the cage policy to block them. Perhaps without the intervention of our empire, these Eighth Route Army activities in the mountainous areas will starve to death. "

Hahaha--

Shinozuka Yoshio spoke humorously, and the Japanese officers couldn't help laughing.

Then when it came to the specific combat deployment, Shinozuka Yoshio directly pointed out the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and Northwest:
"Near Yangquan, the base of Niukou Village, that is, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, near Ping'an County is the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the New First Regiment near Zhangzhuang and Taigu. These three regiments are known as the Iron Triangle of Northwest Shanxi.

It is the gate where the base of the Eighth Route Army is located. The implementation of this big sweep must start with these three regiments.

Everyone, don't underestimate these three regiment-level combat ranks of the Eighth Route Army. According to our information, the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army can be said to be the elite of the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area.

Especially the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, everyone should be familiar with what they have done during this period.

Just a few days ago, the Ishii United Team joined forces with the Secret Service Team and was also defeated by the Independent Team. "

At the meeting, Ishiihara was also there. When Shinozuka Yoshio said this, Ishiihara’s old face was naturally a little uncomfortable, and he immediately got up and replied: "General, if Ishii does not report the shame of Zhangjiazhuang and Xichong, I will swear not to be a human being. This time please You hand over the independent regiment to our wing, and our department will definitely uproot the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, and said: "Yaoxi, you are brave after knowing your shame, this is the true nature of a soldier, this time the independent group will ask Ishii-kun.

In addition, the independent and mixed fourth brigade will simultaneously support your troops' attacks on the independent regiment, the new first regiment, and the new second regiment. "

"Mr. Ishii and Mr. Yamaguchi, I hope that the two of you can work together to destroy the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi and suppress the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army."

"Hi!"

Ishii Haraichi, the commander of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army independently formed the fourth brigade, and the commander of the brigade, Yamaguchi Shube, responded in unison.

After the battle meeting was over, Shinozuka Yoshio left Ishii Haraichi and Yamaguchi alone.

"Mr. Ishii, Mr. Yamaguchi, the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is the gateway to the base of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area. This battle is crucial for our army.

If the two of you can quickly defeat this iron triangle, win the first battle, and the Eighth Route Army's base area loses its gate, the army will definitely be in turmoil.

This will be very beneficial for our follow-up sweeping plan.

The Eighth Route Army did not even dare to confront our Great Japanese Empire head-on.

But if you can't defeat the three regiments of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in the first time, or even be delayed by them, our main force will be blocked from the door, and we will not be able to form a siege to the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area.

In this way, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has a considerable depth of space to adjust its strength, which is extremely unfavorable to our follow-up sweeps, and may even lead to the failure of this sweep.

What's at stake, I hope you both understand. "

"Hi!" Ishii and Yamaguchi responded.

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "In addition, in order to help you quickly defeat the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, considering that this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is the core of the Iron Triangle, and it is also the most powerful of the three regiments.

Before the official start of the war, I will arrange bombers to bomb the base of the Independence Regiment first, and then you two can get air support at any time during the battle against the Iron Triangle.

The headquarters does not hesitate to use a high price, but only hopes that the two of you can live up to the entrustment and destroy the three regiments of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. "

"Hi, please rest assured, Your Excellency!"

Ishii and Yamaguchi solemnly agreed.

……

……

Eleventh, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang An, head of the enemy industry department of the independent regiment, hurried to the regiment headquarters to report the situation to Kong Jie.

"Head, the devil's preparations for the mopping up this time are very big. We have received news from all the county towns of the devil. Based on a comprehensive analysis, the devil's big mopping up should be tomorrow."

"Understood, keep an eye on it. Once the devil's raid starts, when and where it goes, the news must not be interrupted," Kong Jie said.

"Yes!"

……

"Communication Platoon Assemble!"

After assembling the communication platoon at the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie issued an order: "Everyone act immediately and notify the major villages on the outskirts of our root area, so that the militia comrades can cover the villagers in time to move to the rear mountainous area.

In other words, the news has been confirmed, and the Japanese army will launch a big raid on the [-]th.

Let the folks make preparations in advance, and try to take away all the important materials such as food in the village, so as not to leave a grain of food for the little devil. "

"Yes!"

……

Four p.m.

Kong Jie convened an emergency military meeting, and cut straight to the point at the meeting: "The time for the devils to launch a big sweep has been fixed, and tomorrow, all battalions can start action immediately."

"The first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion will set off in the evening today. They will march in a hidden way in the mountains and forests. Before the Japanese army's mopping up forces advance, they will arrive at the designated location and wait for the opportunity."

"Yes!"

"Fourth Battalion, immediately deploy defensive arrangements around the village, and prepare to deal with the forces of the Japanese army coming to sweep up."

"Yes!"

"Old Du, the Fifth Battalion is responsible for arranging cadres, assisting militia comrades, and organizing the evacuation of the people in advance."

"It must be ensured that the evacuation of all the villagers is completed before the Japanese mopping forces touch the villages. Only our main combat troops and militia troops can be left in the villages."

"Yes!"

"The specific combat tasks of each battalion will be arranged below..."

……

"Reporter Shen, I'm sorry, you can't go in here, the team leader and the others are holding a military meeting in the room!"

Outside the courtyard, the monk stopped Shen Wenyue.

But Shen Wenyue was ordered by Kong Jie to be temporarily detained that day.

Later, the monk really took the newspaper of the Anti-Japanese National News and found the article written by Shen Wenyue to verify Shen Wenyue's identity.

As a result, Shen Wenyue was able to recite the article she had written, and even silently recite it again.

Now, the monk believed that this was really reporter Shen.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Reporter Shen, our team leader asked me to come here this time to confirm your identity, and now I can confirm that you are really Reporter Shen."

At that time, Shen Wenyue asked, "Now that I'm sure I'm not a spy, when can I meet Captain Kong?"

The monk asked curiously, "What did you see our head do?"

Shen Wenyue said: "Commander Kong is a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. In fact, I have wanted to interview Commander Kong since a long time ago, but I have never been able to find an opportunity. This time I came to your independent regiment base to interview Commander Kong. .

Especially in the battle between your Independence Regiment and the Japanese Ishii Regiment not long ago, I really want to know the specific process. How did Commander Kong command it? "

"That's too unfortunate. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to see our head now." The monk shook his head.

"why?"

"Because you came at the wrong time, we received news that the devils are likely to launch a large-scale raid on our Eighth Route Army base in the next two days.

The head of the group is busy dealing with the devil's sweep these days, I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. "The monk explained.

However, Shen Wenyue became a little excited, "Because of this, I met Commander Kong even more. In fact, I have always been very curious about how your Eighth Route Army troops are in such a harsh environment behind the enemy. How did you deal with the Japanese raids again and again, and then How did it grow step by step to where it is today? It just happened to be a big raid by the devils this time, maybe I can unlock the secret."

The monk said helplessly: "Then you can take it easy, just agreed, the head of the group has no time to see you for the time being, and we will arrange someone to protect you, as long as you don't run around, it's okay to take a look around in our base. "

"Well, thank you, Captain Wei!"

……

Back in front of me, Shen Wenyue, accompanied by two soldiers who were in charge of protecting him, was wandering around the base area. When he happened to arrive at the regiment headquarters, he wanted to come in to have a look, but was blocked by the monk outside the courtyard.

"A military meeting, is it a military meeting to deal with this sweep?"

Being stopped by the monk, Shen Wenyue was not in a hurry to go in, and asked excitedly.

The monk nodded.

"Commander Wei, how much do you know about the upcoming raid by the Japanese army? Can you tell me about it?"

Monk: "..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything."

The monk is a bit of a headache now, this girl is a chatterbox, and she likes to ask questions. Just the few times we met, the monk practiced martial arts in Shaolin Temple before joining the national army, and was rescued by Kong Jie from the prisoner-of-war camp, and joined the independent group. All these things were set out by Shen Wenyue.

The monk was afraid that he would continue talking to Shen Wenyue, so don't let the military secrets of the independent regiment slip away...
