The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 413 Duan Peng Shows Up

Time moves backwards...

Brigade.

The brigade commander, political commissar, and chief of staff were analyzing the situation of the Japanese army's large-scale mopping up on the map.

"The Japanese army's actions this time came quickly, and the scale of the mopping up was not small. They sent troops from Taiyuan, Yangquan, Ping'an, Taigu and other places, intending to surround our Taihang base area, and then gradually shrink, and finally wiped out our army. .”

The chief of staff analyzed the map.

The brigade commander sneered and said, "The devil's plan is good, but it's a pity they don't have such a good appetite."

"It's really hard to deal with the devils if they concentrate their forces to advance. Of course, in this case, we can easily use the deep detour to prevent the Japanese army from finding us at all."

"This is why the devils would rather waste time and effort than pull up such a sweeping net."

"But a large-scale encirclement advance like this, from various points of view, is the weak link of the Japanese encirclement."

"Which of the group leaders in our brigade is a vegetarian? If the little devils want to completely encircle them, it depends on whether their big net is strong enough."

"I have ordered the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment. The three regiments are at the gates of our base area, and they are the main attack points for the Japanese army once they launch a sweep."

"But for the same reason, if these three regiments can break through the devil's blockade first, it will be meaningless if the Japanese army's encirclement continues to advance."

"This big encirclement against our Taihang area will naturally be broken without attack."

Then, over time. .

The news came.

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese army is quite hostile to the Independent Regiment now. According to the information from the front, the devils have mobilized two regiments to attack the Independent Regiment this time. Only one Japanese brigade was used." The chief of staff reported the situation.

The political commissar said with a smile: "If Li Yunlong hears the news, he might jump out of anger."

The brigade commander said: "His new second regiment has just been formed for less than a year, and the devil can send a brigade there, so he thinks highly of his new second regiment."

"Brigade Commander, I'm curious now. This independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment, which one of them can break through the encirclement of the Japanese army first?"

This is indeed an interesting question.

The chief of staff thought for a while and said, "Then I think it should be Li Yunlong's new second regiment."

"Li Yunlong fought bravely, and the troops he brought out were very offensive. In addition, although the new second regiment was not established for a long time, we know the equipment in the regiment, and it is not even worse than some old regiments.

The devils went over with the intention of belittling the new second regiment, and they would probably suffer a big loss. Li Yunlong seized the opportunity and could easily break out. "

The political commissar nodded with a smile, and said, "Kong Jie might have been the first to break out of the siege, but this time the Japanese army is obviously focusing on dealing with the independent regiment. With the strength of the two regiments, the independent regiment is under great pressure."

"As for the Xinyi Regiment, Ding Wei has always been very steady in deploying troops, always able to obtain the greatest victory with the least sacrifice. I don't think he will attack rashly."

The brigade commander did not speak.

He was waiting, waiting for the independent group, waiting for Kong Jie's follow-up performance.

This time the Japanese army attacked the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, and the Independent Regiment obviously bore the most pressure. If the Independent Regiment can withstand it, the Iron Triangle will be stable, but once the Independent Regiment is breached, the gateway to the Taihang area may be too It's about to be breached.

If the strength of the two regiments had been placed at the beginning of last year, the entire brigade would have been forced to withdraw.

As for now, each unit has developed to a certain extent.

Even if it is impossible to confront the Japanese army head-on and needs to be transferred, the headquarters will order to leave some troops and rely on the base area to conduct guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

……

The news came quickly that Li Yunlong led the New Second Regiment to break through the blockade of the Japanese brigade first, and rushed out from the front.

It doesn't seem to be breaking out, but it seems to be actively launching an attack.

"Li Yunlong really won't lose the chain at critical times!"

The chief of staff laughed, he guessed right.

Then, the news came that the independent regiment's defensive operations were relying on Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang to fight vigorously!
Its main force suddenly appeared in Yangquan and broke through the city gate of Yangquan in one fell swoop.

The brigade room was quiet for a long while, and then the chief of staff slammed the table and applauded loudly.

"What a Kong Jie, there really is this kid! If I guess correctly, this kid must have ambushed the main force near the mountain in advance, brigade commander, political commissar, look, this is the location, this mountain has already extended to the front In the middle area of ​​Yangquan, as long as the devil's mopping forces advance past, they can quickly break through the strongholds on the Japanese army's highway line, and then directly hit Yangquan."

"It's easy to say, but hard to do in the process."

"The Japanese army's stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to fight all the way to Yangquan, you have to fight five or six rounds of tough battles. The key is that once the Japanese mopping up troops return to help, they may turn around and besiege the main force of the independent regiment."

"If it were so easy to get to the rear of the Japanese army, our troops would not have been forced to move into the mountains in the face of the Japanese army's raids over the years."

"But what we didn't expect was that Kong Jie not only did it, but also succeeded!"

"According to the information sent back, the main force of Kong Jie's independent regiment secretly pushed across from the stronghold all the way to the capture of Yangquan County. The total time did not exceed three hours. I really don't know how this kid did it? "

The brigade commander snorted, "In this kind of battle, apart from the combat effectiveness of the troops, what is more important is the firepower to attack."

"It seems that this independent group has indeed made a fortune!"

"Kong Jie is a real person! Sending equipment to our brigade headquarters every day, he actually gave away his own wealth."

political commissar:"……"

chief of staff:"……"

For a moment, I was speechless.

The political commissar said with a smile: "Brigade Commander, speaking of it, this tactic of changing houses is an excellent strategy for dealing with the Japanese army's sweeping raids."

The brigade commander said: "The art of war is strange. Judging from this time, Kong Jie has indeed used an idea. The independent regiment has a well-formed combat effectiveness and elite equipment, and the Japanese army has sent two full regiments this time. Attacking the Independence Regiment, no one would have imagined that at this juncture, the Independence Regiment could turn its main force back to the rear of the Japanese army.

Kong Jie's growth and progress have indeed exceeded our expectations. "

……

"What, went to Yangquan?"

The headquarters of the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

The Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was shocked when he received the news.

Fang Ligong, who put down the phone, said with emotion: "Tuan Zuo, I have to say that these Eighth Route Army are really powerful. The Japanese army's big sweep was over, but they went straight to the rear of the Japanese army, and went to the Yangquan area."

"I thought that a few days ago, the Ishii Regiment of the Japanese Army fought against the Independence Regiment in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. Although they lost the battle, at least it hurt the Eighth Route Army Independence Regiment, right?
Who would have thought that the Japanese army would mobilize two regiments to mop up the past again, while this independent regiment used the village's defensive battle to block the Japanese army's offensive pace.

On the other hand, they were able to detour the main force back to the rear of the Japanese army and successfully captured Yangquan! "

"Tuanzao, this is incredible!"

Chu Yunfei also had a look of admiration on his face, "The devil has kicked the iron plate this time. The rapid rise of the independent regiment, coupled with the fact that the independent regiment is located at the gate of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area, will definitely become the future of the Japanese army. The biggest obstacle to setting off a big sweep."

"It's a wonderful anti-sweeping operation. The Eighth Route Army has so much we need to learn. Brother Li Gong, I really want to fight like the Eighth Route Army."

Fang Ligong was taken aback, and quickly persuaded: "You can't sit in the group, and the officials have repeatedly ordered us to stand still. If the Japanese army does not take the initiative to invade, we must not take the lead."

"I know."

Chu Yunfei nodded, his voice was very cold, "The Japanese are cunning, and they still know the principle of long distance and close attack. In order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, it is common for us to stabilize our Jinsui Army first. Unfortunately, we still don't know what it means to be cold. Sad!"

"Not long ago, during the looting of the Japanese-occupied area, the Japanese army suddenly launched a major counterattack against our Jinsui Army and National Army troops. Will the Eighth Route Army stand by and watch?"

During the questioning, Fang Ligong didn't know what to say, so he had to keep silent.

……

Yangquan.

The development of things was beyond the imagination of the first, second, and third battalion commanders.

In the devil-occupied area, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people was unprecedentedly high after learning that the independent regiment had broken through the county.

In addition, after the soldiers of the Independence Regiment took down the devil's arsenal and the devil's gendarmerie and puppet garrison, they seized a large number of guns and ammunition, some of which could not be taken away, and distributed them to some patriots in the city.

These patriots quickly gathered a large group.

For example, Shenquan's Second Battalion troop made a round in Yangquan County, and when they left Yangquan, the troop immediately had an extra company.

On the contrary, they fought more and more.

"Battle Commander Shen, let us fight devils with you, we are willing to join the Eighth Route Army!"

In addition, many puppet troops anyway expressed their desire to join the Eighth Route Army to fight devils.

In the end, Shen Quan was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was very embarrassed:
"Our regiment leader didn't tell us anything. In this way, everyone has nothing to worry about in the county and no relatives. Take the gun and follow us."

"We can't ask for others. To join our Eighth Route Army to fight devils, we must make up our minds. If we are not firm in our determination, we dare not accept them!"

Even so, when the last three battalions left the county, they pulled out an extra battalion.

There is also a small episode in this.

During the battle to eliminate the devils' gendarmerie in Yangquan County, Shen Quan personally commanded the battle. A young man who sold food was given a gun. He performed quite well in the battle and killed two devils with his shots.

"Good boy, your marksmanship is good, have you practiced it?" Shen Quan had a heart for talents at that time.

The young man clapped his hands, and replied indifferently: "It's my first time playing, but I've seen others use it before. It's not difficult."

"First shot? At a distance of seven to eighty meters, two devils were killed by raising the gun. Are you bragging?"

"believe it or not."

"Good boy, you have a temper, what do you want to do with me?" Shen Quan issued an invitation.

The young man shook his head, "Sir, what you said just now is not for those with relatives at home. I have an old lady waiting to take care of me!"

Shen Quan smiled, but he didn't force it, "Okay, then wait until you finish your filial piety, and then go to the Eighth Route Army. Our independent regiment welcomes you at any time, and go to Niukou Village when you think about it.

By the way, brother, what's your name? "

"My name is Duan Peng."

"Duan Peng, get it, remember it!"

"By the way, where do you live?"

Duan Peng glanced at Shen Quan warily, and said: "My family is poor, and I don't have a specific place to live. Wherever I have food, I can live there."

Shen Quan smiled, and didn't ask any more questions, this kid still kept his eyes open!
"Then you have to hide it when you turn around, don't let the devils find out that you helped in the battle, and then get caught up in the fire."

"Thank you sir for reminding me, I will pay attention."

After bidding farewell to Duan Peng, the company commander beside him asked, "Battle Commander, have you taken a fancy to this kid?"

Shen Quan didn't deny it, "This young man's eyes are full of vigor. Such a guy is rare. He can kill two devils with his first shot. Back then, he didn't even blink his eyes when he killed the devils. Visible psychological quality and its stability.

More importantly, did you notice how well he dodged earlier?Definitely a trainer.

You haven't seen that boy monk has a lot of kung fu, and the head of the group looks like something precious. "

"That's true, the head of the group is partial to the monk." The company commander said sourly.

……

While talking, the scout returned to report:

"Report to the battalion commander, a Japanese brigade that besieged our base area is returning to Yangquan for help."

Shen Quan immediately found Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, and Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, and discussed: "We have already captured Yangquan, the gendarmerie and the puppet garrison have been wiped out, the granaries have been released, and the arsenal has been seized. The communication station and the power supply station are all paralyzed, and it is useless to stay here, instead they will be besieged by devils in the city."

"It's just a brigade of devils coming back for help, not many, why don't we kill him again and eat this devil!"

The first battalion commander agreed with Shen Quan once and for all:
"Fight, I am worried that the battle to take down Yangquan will not be enjoyable!"

"Once the battle starts on our side, it will definitely relieve a lot of pressure for the team leader and the others."

Shen Quan said: "Then let's divide our troops into two groups, and reserve a part of our troops to continue attacking the villages and towns around Yangquan, eliminate the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, and suppress the Japanese and puppet organizations."

"The rest of the troops ambushed the Japanese reinforcements on the way."

"it is good!"

"Agree!"

The three battalion commanders quickly reached a consensus and immediately led the soldiers to withdraw from Yangquan. The third battalion commander Wang Huaibao stayed behind and directed the troops to continue to attack the surrounding towns of Yangquan.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu led the rest of the troops, and took the initiative to greet the Japanese army's return troops.

On the other side, Li Yunlong led the First Battalion of the New Second Regiment and rushed towards the vicinity of Yangquan...
