The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 460 Famous in North China—Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi ([-])
The fighting in the mountains and forests intensified, and the casualties of the Japanese army continued to spread, but this time the devils seemed determined to take down the Independence Regiment in one go, no matter the cost.

until twelve noon.

In the rear of the Japanese army, the Japanese army brigade that was reinforced from all over the place, in the temporary joint command headquarters, the captains of the devil brigade originally boasted that they would destroy the independent regiment in one fell swoop before twelve o'clock.

As a result, more than six hours have passed since the attack started at six o'clock in the morning.

The Japanese and puppet troops have not even been able to completely capture the mountainous areas around Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. At this moment, the fighting is continuing in the last part of the mountainous area.

"Report sir, the number of temporary wounded soldiers has increased to more than 500, and the bandages, gauze, and medicines needed for medical treatment have all been used up. If the wound caused by the bullet is not treated in time, the wound will deteriorate soon, and the serious one may even be life-threatening.”

The report of the devil military doctor added another layer of frost to the hearts of the Japanese army captains of the temporary joint headquarters.

"We have already contacted the counties and strongholds in the rear. When will the medical supplies be delivered?"

The captain of the devil group asked anxiously.

A devil officer replied: "The garrison at the stronghold said that the transport team has already set off, but I don't know why, and it hasn't arrived yet."

The leader of the ghost brigade said: "The transportation of medicines and materials is carried out by multiple routes at the same time. Even if there is a problem in one place, it can't be a problem everywhere, right?"

Before the words were finished, a communications soldier hurried over to report:

"Reporting sir, the southern suburbs road, the imperial north road, and the direction of Hushan Avenue, all the transport teams sent emergency calls for help. They were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops on the way."

"idiot!"

The captains of the devil brigade suddenly became angry.

"What happened to the strongholds along the highways? There will be eight ambushes on the way, why didn't the news be delivered early?"

How did the poor captains of the Devils know that the devils and puppet soldiers in the small and medium-sized strongholds around the base of the independent regiment had long been frightened by the sniper platoon, and no one dared to leave the stronghold easily.

This naturally gave opportunities to comrades in the surrounding local troops and guerrilla forces.

Seeing the devil's transport team passing by, how could these comrades miss the opportunity, and based on the idea of ​​supporting the independent regiment from the outside, they ambushed in the middle to prevent the devil's transport team from reinforcing.

So until now, the Devil's Wounded Soldiers Storage Center has not received any reinforcements of medicine and supplies.

As the situation became more and more serious, the captains of the devils fell into a helpless situation while looking at each other.

"At the moment our medicines are not enough, and the casualties are increasing. It took more than six hours, but we have not been able to reach Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang. If we continue to march, the situation is not good for us. We still report the situation to the general truthfully. Listen to the general's instructions again!"

The captain of the devil brigade suggested.

Soon, the specific news of the battle situation was transmitted back to the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan City through the radio.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who heard the news, did not expect that this small independent group would be more difficult than he expected. After a moment of silence, Yoshio Shinozuka gave an order:
"Immediately communicate with the Temporary Joint Headquarters and tell the captains that the current situation of our army is difficult, and the situation of the independent regiment is equally difficult. Now is the time to work hard, and we must not fail!"

The implication is to continue to attack, even if you grit your teeth, you have to continue to attack.

After the order was conveyed to the temporary joint headquarters, the captains of the Devils didn't hesitate anymore, and issued an order to continue the attack, and urged all frontline combat troops to launch a strong attack at any cost, and try to break into Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang in the shortest possible time.

West Village.

Temporary headquarters.

Kong Jie's gaze was fixed on the combat map, and he was drawing on the map with a pencil in his right hand.

A moment ago, news came from the front-line combat troops in Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun that the Japanese army had stepped up their offensive, and the momentum of the attack was more violent than before, and even launched a charge regardless of the cost.

With the advantage of absolute strength, after the Japanese army launched a strong attack, the blocking troops of the independent regiment suffered a lot of casualties.

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, is also at the temporary headquarters at the moment.

This time, the third battalion, as a mobile force, temporarily stayed at the intersection of Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, and Xicun in the middle, waiting for Kong Jie's instructions at any time.

Seeing the increasingly tragic situation on the front line, the commander of the third battalion couldn't sit still for a long time.

The battle of the other four battalions is in full swing!
His third battalion can't just watch, can it?
"Leader!" Wang Huaibao spoke again, his words were full of grievances.

Not long ago, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, and Chen Dalian, the instructor, came. The cavalry company didn't need horses, so they rushed to the front to fight.

The whole regiment was fighting, and even the comrades in the cooking class were armed with weapons and equipment.

He was left with three battalions.

Kong Jie looked up at Wang Huaibao, and calmly said, "Why are you in a hurry? The more you are at this time, the more calm you are as a commander."

"The little devil is getting ruthless right now. It seems that he wants to attack regardless of the cost and make a quick victory."

"One bang, then decline, and three exhaustion, this is the ancient tactical thinking, and it is not outdated now."

"The little devil wants to go all out, and the momentum is booming right now. If we also fight recklessly, casualties will definitely be inevitable. It's better to avoid the edge for the time being and drag the devil's momentum down."

"That's it, Commander of the Third Battalion."

"Here!" Wang Huaichang responded quickly.

Kong Jie said: "The third battalion immediately divided into two groups and rushed to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang as quickly as possible. As a rear guard, the troops covering Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang retreated to the village."

"Yes!" Wang Huaibao returned the military salute with a smile on his face, finally there was a battle to be fought.

After Wang Huaibao left, Kong Jie immediately ordered the use of short-wave radio to contact the first and fourth battalions in Shangxi Village, as well as the second and third battalions in Zhangjiazhuang, and ordered the troops on both sides to retreat immediately under the cover of artillery fire.

"Now the Japanese army is launching a strong attack, our army retreats, and with the cover of artillery fire, after the third battalion is broken, in the eyes of the Japanese army, it is likely that my independent regiment could not stop his little devil's attack, so we retreated."

"In addition, his little devil chased my independent regiment all the way to fight, and this plan to lure the enemy into the depths will be considered successful."

"The next step is to attract the devils to the West Village and Zhangjiazhuang, and use the defensive construction to drag down the momentum of the devils' attack."

"Fall again, exhaust three times, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy attacks and we defend, the enemy retreats and we advance, the enemy defends and we attack."

"When the momentum of the devils is exhausted, the three armies are exhausted, and the plan to lure the enemy to go deeper is successful, Lao Ding and Lao Kong, after such a long time, they will be able to detour, right?"

"At that time, we will attack from three sides, and we will be able to defeat the devil's offensive in one fell swoop, or it is said that the best defense is offense!"

Kong Jie analyzed the situation while talking to himself, and became more confident.

In addition, I thought of the scout's report earlier, saying that the devil's artillery team was still following up.

This made Kong Jie puzzled, looking in the direction of the Japanese army's base camp, and asked suspiciously, "What the hell did Ye Min bring the commando to?"

Kong Jie was not worried about the safety of the commando.

With Ye Min's calmness and the strength of the commandos, even if they failed to complete the mission in this vast mountainous area, they would never be easily wiped out by the Japanese army.

……

While Kong Jie was thinking about the battle situation of each department, Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment, was leading the main force of the new regiment in the mountains on the left flank of the West Village, marching in the direction of the West Village.

In order to cope with the plan made together with Kong Jie and Li Yunlong a few hours ago to lure the enemy deep and outflank the two wings.

Ding Wei led the soldiers of the new regiment to set off from the garrison, and deliberately detoured from the mountains. During the nearly three-hour rapid march, the soldiers marched nearly [-] kilometers with their equipment and weapons.

On the other side, in the mountainous area on the right wing of Zhangjiazhuang, Li Yunlong, the head of the New Second Regiment, also led the main force of the New Second Regiment to attack in a detour for more than three hours.

This time the devils came mainly to destroy the Independent Regiment. For the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, they only arranged some blocking troops on the nearest roads.

The Japanese army did not expect that the new first regiment and the new second regiment would detour.

In addition, the Japanese army was probably confident that they could quickly destroy the Independence Regiment, so they did not deliberately arrange troops to deal with the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

This gave Li Yunlong and Ding Wei the opportunity to send troops secretly.

During the attack, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were non-stop, and both of them were a little worried about Kong Jie.

Although the two believed that today's Independence Regiment is no longer what it used to be, but the devils are overwhelming this time, who knows what the final result will be?

In addition to this long-distance raid, Li Yunlong and Ding Wei gave orders to give up heavy weapons and so on, so as to ensure the speed of the team's raid.

The cumbersome radio station was naturally kept at the station, so Li Yunlong and Ding Wei couldn't contact Kong Jie's headquarters at all during the raid.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei don't know what the current situation of the independent group is.

I can only choose to believe that Kong Jie can block the Japanese attack and implement tactics to lure the enemy into depth.

"Old Kong, old Kong, you have to hold on, you still owe me a drink!"

Enduring exhaustion and leading the soldiers of the New Second Regiment to continue the attack, Li Yunlong secretly thought in his heart.

After ordering a short rest, Ding Wei gave the marching order again: "Comrades, if we are one minute late, the comrades of the independent regiment may sacrifice an extra share. Work harder, everyone, and speed up!"

……

Brigade.

The brigade commander and political commissar learned the latest battle situation in Niukou Village from Kong Jie's headquarters through radio communication.

The political commissar expressed concern about the situation of the battle, "I never thought that the little devil would act so crazy in order to eliminate the independent regiment."

"This way of fighting is simply playing with one's life. Isn't this little devil afraid that the reinforcements around us will take the opportunity to surround us and eat up the nine brigades?"

The brigade commander said: "Yoshio Shinozuka has a lot of scheming, I think he made such a desperate momentum, apparently to quickly destroy the independent regiment.

Secretly, he also intended to lure us to take action. He still wanted to lure our army to launch a decisive battle in the Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang areas.

After all, the two brigades he dispatched from Taiyuan City are still around! "

The political commissar said with a wry smile: "That's the truth, but in this way, all the pressure will be on Kong Jie."

"That's right!" The brigade commander nodded and said with a smile, "Just look at that kid Kong Jie, he doesn't mean to be worried at all."

"What did Kong Jie say in the previous communication? The plan to lure the enemy to go deep has been completed. After waiting for the new first regiment and the new second regiment to return to their positions, they can immediately launch the Iron Triangle joint offensive."

"We are here to worry about this and that, but Kong Jie regards the battle in front of him as a stage for his iron triangle to shine!"

The political commissar said happily, "That's true. I really don't know if Kong Jie is big enough, or if he really has this confidence."

"Let's wait and see!" The brigade commander laughed.

……

West Village.

Now the point of view is to switch to the fourth mixed brigade of the Japanese army who is still huddled in the trench fortifications.

The battle on the outskirts of the mountain has been going on for more than six hours, but they still haven't dared to move by the trees at the mountain pass.

Not to mention the blooming tactics in the middle.

During these six hours, Yamaguchi gritted his teeth and tried to break out of the siege, cooperating with the Japanese troops attacking from the outside.

As a result, as soon as the troops left the fortifications, they encountered various landmines laid by the soldiers.

Coupled with the left-behind soldiers of the Independent Regiment, after a round of shelling by the [-] small artillery, the devils of the Fourth Brigade retreated back to the trench fortifications like a frightened bird.

Until the [-]st and [-]th Battalions of the Independent Regiment in the West Village, including the [-]rd Battalion that came to support them, all withdrew to the village, and all the troops that originally restrained the Japanese Fourth Mixed Brigade also retreated.

Yamaguchi still did not dare to leave the fortification immediately.

After all the attacking Japanese troops arrived, the scouts on the Yamaguchi side scouted the situation, and only then did they confirm that the Eighth Route Army had all retreated.

Yamaguchi left the fortification with the remaining 700 devils from the Fourth Brigade and joined the attacking Japanese troops.

As the head of the brigade, Yamaguchi, escorted by the guards, rushed all the way to the temporary joint headquarters behind the devils.

The devil captains of the temporary joint headquarters saluted one after another.

He said bluntly, "Your Excellency, the head of the brigade, finally has a backbone."

But in fact, these devil captains looked at Yamaguchi in private, all with weird expressions and a little sarcasm.

The dignified Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Empire can fight the battle like this, and those who are bullied by the independent regiment hide in the fortifications and dare not show their faces, there is no one.

But it's far from over.

It was not long before the unlucky Yamaguchi arrived at the temporary joint headquarters under the escort of the guards.

Under the leadership of Ye Min, the commando infiltrated and detoured all the way, and successfully touched the rear of the Japanese army, near the temporary joint headquarters.

"Deputy team, the target point is about 600 meters away, and there are many antennas erected high around. The entire camp is also very concealed. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find it.

There were constant comms troopers coming and going.

There are devil troops on guard in all directions around.

If we push forward, it will be easy to be found.

It is certain that it is the temporary joint headquarters that the soldiers of the puppet army said. "

Hearing this, the team members were all excited, and Cao Zheng was the first to speak: "Deputy team, let's fight! Use our [-] small cannon, as long as it hits, two cannons can kill it."

Ye Min thought for a moment, nodded, and arranged: "The distance of about 600 meters is not too close. We probably need to add a propellant package to our small cannon."

"Right now, in the rear of the devils, we may be surrounded by Japanese troops at any time. If we want to evacuate smoothly after the attack, we only have one chance to make a move."

"In this way, in order to ensure the hit rate, all the ten [-] small cannons we brought out this time will be used in groups of three to lock the target from multiple directions."

"Check the watch now, at exactly 25:[-], fire at the same time, and retreat immediately after one shot is fired!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, the team members were divided into groups of three and quickly divided into ten shelling groups, and then dispersed in all directions around the target point. They began to choose positions to set up the [-] small guns, corrected the shooting elements, and finally waited for the expected firing time.

When the second hand clicks on the twelve o'clock scale for the last time.

At exactly 25:[-], the temporary team leaders of the ten shelling teams waved their hands and gave the order to fire.

boom boom --

There was the sound of the shells being ejected in unison, followed by an earth-shattering explosion sound in the target area, and the violent artillery fire instantly engulfed the temporary joint headquarters of the Japanese army...
