The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 453 Famous in North China—Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi ([-]) (seeking a monthly ticket)

The cool breeze is blowing, the moon is dim, the birds are quiet, the insects and snakes are not heard, the shadows of the trees are whirling in the mountains and forests, and there are occasional whirring sounds, making the surroundings more and more lonely.

It's not time, around two o'clock in the middle of the night.

It has only been more than two hours since the Shijing Regiment was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army Independence Regiment, and the forgotten savior has not yet come.

Shock, fear, anger, all kinds of emotions mixed in the hearts of Japanese officers from all walks of life.

Looking at the lonely night, it looks like a fierce tiger that chooses to eat people, and is opening its fangs, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

None of the devil troops stationed on the outskirts of the mountain dared to act rashly, for fear of following in the footsteps of the Ishii regiment, they only temporarily stationed at the foot of the mountain, waiting for dawn before launching a military attack.

Zhangjiazhuang.

The battlefield has already been cleaned up, but the three main battalion commanders of the independent regiment are not very satisfied with the seizure after cleaning.

Among them, the first battalion commander, Wang Leihu, had the biggest opinion, "It's still too late, we should have eaten up the Ishii unit two days earlier.

As a result, until now, the ammunition on hand of the devil is almost exhausted.

In the past, when we cleaned the battlefield, a devil could find at least fifty or sixty rounds of ammunition, and even seized more than 100 rounds.

Right now, it's good, if you can get thirty or forty rounds, it's not bad. "

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan smiled and said, "Don't be dissatisfied. Anyway, we fought a war of annihilation. Because of the consumption these days, the devils don't have much ammunition left."

"But there are a lot of firearms, rifles, machine guns, and grenade grenades. Pull them back, and our independent regiment will expand to two more battalions. The problem of firearms will no longer be a problem."

"This is the truth." Wang Leihu felt a little relieved.

Several battalion commanders were talking, and a signal soldier came, kicked his feet, and reported: "Report to the battalion commanders, the regiment commander is here, and is now at the temporary headquarters in Zhangjiazhuang, please come over immediately Discuss the military."

"Understood, let's go there now." Shen Quan replied.

Then, the three battalion commanders went hand in hand, and soon arrived at the Zhangjiazhuang temporary headquarters.

After entering the headquarters, seeing the regimental commander whom he hadn't seen for a few days, Shen Quan and the other three battalion commanders saluted one after another, with smiles on their faces.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The battle on the front line was over, and Kong Jie hurried over from Niukou Village.

The distance is too far, even if the communication is convenient, it is difficult to see the battle situation on the front line everywhere, so Kong Jie rushed to the front line to command in person.

"Looking at the way the spring breeze is blowing on the faces of the three of you, you have gained a lot in the past few days, right?" Kong Jie said with a smile.

Wang Leihu scratched his head, laughed a little embarrassedly, and said: "Leader, to tell you the truth, I made a small fortune."

"Oh? Talk about it!"

"Yes, report to the head of the regiment. This time, according to the order of the regiment headquarters, the E[-] Battalion attacked the rear of the Japanese army during the Japanese army's large-scale mopping up, and seized a large amount of materials and equipment. Let's not talk about the materials, but the captured equipment. According to the firepower configuration standard of each department of our independent regiment, at least half a battalion can be equipped."

"Hey, Commander, I didn't come to report to you. After leaving the devil's rear, my first battalion has added a lot of troops. I temporarily pulled out a company of new recruits. Now I just lack some training."

After Wang Leihu finished speaking with a serious face, he almost hinted that the head of the group would praise him a few words.

Kong Jie naturally understood what the commander of the first battalion was thinking, but he just pretended to ignore it, and turned his head to look at Shen Quan, "Shen Quan, how is the capture situation of your second battalion?"

Shen Quan coughed, cleared his throat, glanced at Wang Leihu beside him, and replied:
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the seizure situation of our second battalion this time is actually not worth mentioning. There is nothing to say... About 100 vehicles of military supplies have been seized. In terms of equipment, there are more than 30 rifles and more than [-] pistols. There are more than [-] machine guns.

In addition, a large number of captured bullets are added. To tell you the truth, there are so many that it is almost impossible to transport them.

In order to reduce the burden of transporting troops, I asked the soldiers to carry some bullets on their backs.

Now the main combat force of my second battalion, each soldier has at least two or three hundred bullets on him. "

Kong Jie: "..."

Good guy, Shen Quan is not to be outdone.

It is not worth mentioning, but the result is more than anyone said.

The commander of the third battalion looked at Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion. Wang Huaibao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Commander, what our third battalion captured is far less than that of the first and second battalions. Looking back, we still count on the commander of the first battalion, The commander of the second battalion is helping our third battalion!"

Wang Leihu waved his hand, "It's easy to say, easy to say!"

Shen Quan didn't refuse either.

Kong Jieduo glanced at the third battalion commander, his eyelids trembling.

According to Commander Kong's knowledge, the third battalion was more responsible for seizing the devil-occupied area this time, and the military supplies brought back were almost piled up in the third battalion's garrison.

These three battalion commanders really continued to follow the truth of making a fortune with a muffled voice.

Kong Jie didn't expose it, after all, they came from the same line.

Then the conversation changed, and several people began to discuss business matters. Kong Jie took the lead and said, "According to the investigations of the reconnaissance forces from various parties, so far, there are at least five brigades of devils stationed at the foot of the outer mountain."

"This troop strength is still increasing, and more and more reinforcements from the devils are approaching our base area."

"There is one thing I have to tell you in advance, and you should also be mentally prepared."

"The brigade has issued an order. Not long ago, the chief of staff also personally rushed to our independent regiment to convey the latest instructions from the brigade,"

"The devils will have a steady stream of reinforcements in the future, but we don't. It's not the time for our main force to fight the devils. The situation cannot continue to develop."

"So the brigade's order is that our main force will sit in the rear, forcing the Japanese army not to invest too much troops."

"The independent regiment turned from offense to defense. As for whether we can block the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops that are several times our own, it depends on ourselves."

After all, Kong Jie looked at the three battalion commanders, and the three battle-tested generals showed no fear.

Wang Leihu even said loudly, "Well done, Captain, I'm just worried that I haven't had enough killing!"

Shen Quan also smiled and said: "If the battlefield is placed in a plain area, the devils will have a headache because of the large number of people and abundant firepower."

"But where is this place? This is a battle in the mountains, and the Niukou Village area is the base camp that our independent regiment has built for more than a year."

"There is nothing easier than fighting devils on our own territory."

"We have been focusing the development of the base area on military defense construction. For what? Isn't it for this day? If the little devil dares to come, we have to let the devil know how many eyes this Lord Ma has. "

Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion, followed by the commanders of the first and second battalions and nodded.

After hearing this, Kong Jie laughed loudly, "Well said! Before at the regiment headquarters, when the chief of staff conveyed the instructions of the brigade headquarters to me, he still looked worried.

I should really take the chief of staff to see how the three old battalion commanders of my independent regiment expressed their views.

Just because of your determination, next, even if our independent regiment conducts a defensive battle, we can still poke a hole in the sky in the northwest of Shanxi. "

Commander Kong's arrogance shocked the three battalion commanders.

Speaking of the countermeasures to deal with the attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops several times in the future.

Kong Jie said: "I, Kong Jie, never fight unprepared battles, especially in defensive battles. If we are fully prepared to deal with the devil's hasty attack, there is no reason for failure."

"There are still three or four hours until the sky brightens, which is enough."

"I appreciate what you often say, the moon belongs to our Eighth Route Army, so tonight's moon belongs to our independent regiment."

"Next, I will announce the battle plan for this time, as well as the respective tasks of your three battalions."

"Let's talk about the current battle situation first. The Japanese army is in the outskirts of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang Mountains. The Ishii Regiment in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang has been destroyed. Next, the troops in Zhangjiazhuang and the surrounding nodes will immediately deploy defensive deployments on the spot."

"In the direction of Xicun, we won't be able to take out the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army for the time being, but we can't let these little devils destroy our defensive deployment. While we are carrying out defensive deployment, we will hit him again."

"First Battalion Commander, you immediately lead the troops, together with the Fourth Battalion troops stationed at various nodes in the West Village, as well as the local troops and militia troops, start a defensive deployment on the West Village, and at the same time carry out an offensive suppression against the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army according to the plan. What kind of mid-blooming tactics are the devils using?"

"Remember, this time we are fighting defensively. We don't advocate taking the initiative to attack. We will lengthen the depth of the battlefield. We will rely on the terrain and features of the mountainous areas, as well as the defense construction of the village. The ultimate goal is to continuously consume the active forces of the Japanese army until the Japanese attack is completely dragged down."

"As for how to arrange the combat deployment, how to block the enemy, retreat, cover, etc., you can discuss with the commander of the fourth battalion on your own. I only look at the results, and keep the principle in mind to avoid the casualties of the soldiers as much as possible."

This is Kong Jie's consistent principle. The regiment has the general arrangement of the regiment, the battalion has the detailed deployment of the battalion, and the company has the specific implementation of the company.

In terms of familiarity with the first battalion alone, Kong Jie thought that he was not as good as the first battalion commander.

"Yes!"

The first battalion commander, Wang Leihu, responded and took the order amidst excitement.

Then Kong Jie explained some words to the first battalion commander, which was conveyed to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, and the first battalion commander took notes one by one and left.

"Second Battalion Commander."

"arrive."

"You immediately lead the troops to Zhangjiazhuang and cooperate with the Fifth Battalion. The specific combat tasks are the same as those of the First Battalion."

"What I want to tell you is still the same sentence, don't take the initiative to attack, focus on defense, and eventually wear down the enemy army. When it's time to set up a position, set up a position. As long as the person is still alive, the position can be recaptured at any time.

The rear defense of Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun can also be opened to the Japanese army. At worst, we will focus our final concentrated defense on the defense construction of Niukou Village. "

"Yes!" Shen Quan took the order and left.

Kong Jie finally looked at the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao and said:

"Third Battalion Commander, this time your battalion will be temporarily stationed at the midline nodes of Zhangjiazhuang, Xicun and Niukou Village, as a mobile force to respond to the situation in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, and provide reinforcements at any time."

"Yes!" Wang Huaibao replied.

"Go make arrangements!"

"Yes!"

……

After everything was arranged, Kong Jie turned around and called the messenger, "Go and call me the monk."

Soon after, the monk went into the courtyard of the temporary headquarters with a happy face.

By the light of the candles in the room, Kong Jie was startled when he saw the blood on the monk's body, and hurriedly strode over to check the injury while wearing the monk's clothes, "Monk, are you injured?"

The monk slapped his chest loudly, and said cheerfully, "Headmaster, I'm fine. I haven't scratched the skin at all. It's the devil's blood that splashed on me."

Only then did Kong Jie heave a sigh of relief, and said, "Next time you go to the battlefield, be smarter, remember, you are the company commander of the guard company, even if you sacrifice, you have to sacrifice at the end. This is not because you are afraid of death." , which is responsible to the other living fighters."

"Yes!" The monk replied.

Kong Jie changed the subject and said with a smile: "But having said that, you did a great job this time. You executed the lurking tactics well. You made a sudden attack and directly stunned the Ishii United team. It took less than 10 minutes before and after. The Ishii regiment was wiped out,
If word of this battle spreads, the entire Northwest Shanxi Province will probably be alarmed by your guard company. "

"Hey, leader, can I be rewarded for such a great achievement?"

Kong Jiele said: "Your kid has made his first contribution, so you must be rewarded. Since you have opened your mouth, then tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Hey, Captain, those two bottles of wine you put under the box..."

"Look at your prospects, okay, I'll see you off."

"No, leader, I mean, I've already finished your two bottles of wine, tsk tsk, the taste is really amazing, you can give me two more bottles!"

Kong Jie: "..."

"Monk, so it was you who did it. I thought it was the regiment headquarters that was robbed! It's a good wine that I specially hid at the bottom of the box. I said that when the brigade commander came last time, I couldn't find it even after searching through the box. , Feelings let you drink."

After all, seeing the smirk on the monk's face, Kong Jie couldn't help laughing, and said:

"Monk, take the wine as an extra reward from me personally.

After this battle, our independent regiment may have to expand.

At that time, one or two new battalions can be pulled out, why don't you try to be a battalion commander? "

But the monk quickly shook his head like a rattle, "I won't go, commander, I won't be able to follow you every day when I become the battalion commander."

"You kid, aren't you afraid of running out of wine?" Kong Jie scolded, "What's the point of following my ass every day?"

"I don't care, I'll just recognize you as the commander. If it weren't for the commander of the guard company who can often stay by your side, I wouldn't care too much." The monk said seriously.

Kong Jie said: "Stinky boy, I told you earlier that our Eighth Route Army unit is different from the National Army unit you were in before.

You didn’t fight for me, Kong Jie, and you didn’t become a soldier for me, Kong Jie. You joined the Eighth Route Army and fought for your own beliefs, for national freedom, and for not being a subjugated slave.

You have to understand this truth. "

The monk bared his teeth and smiled, and said: "Head, I actually understand what you said, and I just wondered where it is not to fight devils, and what is it not to fight devils? Right now, I am the guard who kills devils. Happy."

Kong Jie cursed bitterly, "Forget it, you're really not that kind of material now, just keep practicing."

The matter of letting the monk be the battalion commander is over.

Kong Jie has his own considerations about this. The monk is still too young, and he is better at special operations for elite troops like the guard company.

If a battalion of troops were handed over to monks, monks might not be able to lead them well.

"What is the actual combat power of a shotgun in a raid at night?"

Kong Jie changed the subject...
