The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 502 Attacking Ping'an County
After spending several days in Luoshan Village, the three of Shen Wenyue finally found a guerrilla group in the mountains.

It was a guerrilla unit of the New Second Regiment, and there was a squad of fighters. After the two sides met, Zheng Tian quickly introduced his identity.

The squad leader of the guerrillas was skeptical, but seeing that Zheng Tian and the three were few and unarmed, he didn't have too much doubt, and then led the three to meet Han Feng.

When the two sides met, Zheng Tian was the squad leader of Han Feng's company before, and Han Feng was the deputy company commander of the company at the time, so the two naturally knew each other well.

"Squad Leader Ninth, why are you here?" Han Feng was puzzled, and the soldiers from the surrounding New First Regiment and New Second Regiment immediately put down their vigilance. It turned out that they were really comrades from the Independent Regiment.

Zheng Tian explained Kong Jie's task of arranging him and Xiao Wu to escort Shen Wenyue to the south of Shanxi.

Han Feng had never met Shen Wenyue before. After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, he nodded and looked at Shen Wenyue with some hesitation:

"Reporter Shen, are you sure you want to stay in our guerrillas?"

Shen Wenyue responded with a firm gaze.

Han Feng stopped talking, and then led the three of them into the old forest deep in the mountains.

In a dense mountain forest, the three of Shen Wenyue saw a triangular simple camp built of wood by the soldiers of the mountain company led by Han Feng and others.

The camps are very hidden, covered with vines and leaves, even the devil's reconnaissance planes will never find it, and coupled with the remote location, it is no wonder that the Japanese puppet army's raids are difficult to detect again and again.

When the three of Shen Wenyue rushed all the way, from time to time there would be imperceptible sentinels wrapped in vines and green leaves disguised by the side of the road, which surprised the three of them.

These fighters literally blend themselves with the surrounding mountain environment.

Xiao Wu admired: "Company commander, are you really eating and living in the mountains?"

Han Feng nodded and glanced at the squad leader beside him.

The tacit understanding between the two of them is very clear...Look at Xiao Wu, how sweet his mouth is, and he keeps talking, unlike you, a dead-brained, deputy company commander.

Han Feng said: "The national army retreated steadily, and the positions were basically lost. The Japanese army now occupied the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the north and south directions of Zhongtiao Mountain were blocked by devils.

It's like a big net closed from both ends, and the devils in the middle sweep back and forth, never stopping for a day.

We can only avoid the raids of the devils again and again by hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. Fortunately, there are many mountains and dense forests near the Taiyue mountain area.

You absolutely dare not go to the villages at the bottom of the mountain, and the devils are not stupid, and they may leave eyeliner in the villages.

A few days ago, several guerrillas of the national army entered the village to grab food, but they were ambushed. Of the hundreds of people, more than half surrendered, and the rest of the army was wiped out. "

Shen Wenyue asked suspiciously, "Then what do you eat every day in this mountain?"

Han Feng said with a smile: "There are too many things to eat, as long as it is not poisonous, you can put it in your stomach. It just happens to be summer, and there are some wild vegetables, bark, and wild things in the mountains and forests.

In addition, we broke up the team into parts, and sometimes even divided them into a squad, with eleven or twelve fighters acting together, and a mountainous area can support a dozen people, which can still be done in a short period of time.

There is also a time for additional meals, which is when the devils sweep over. Some small groups of devils will get lost in the mountains and forests, or they will be ordered. We take the opportunity to lay an ambush or two, and the captured food is like Chinese New Year. "

Shen Wenyue said: "Didn't everyone ask the villagers for help?"

Han Feng shook his head, and said helplessly, "The soil in Zhongtiao Mountain is barren, and the fellow villagers can't even eat enough. How can there be extra food to help us?"

"In addition, after the outbreak of the Jinnan Battle, the villagers in the Zhongtiao Mountain area had a more difficult life. Bandits, national soldiers, and Japanese, whoever entered the village had to rob them a few times. Starving to death in the village was nothing. Something new."

"The Japanese poured in in large numbers. The enemy was strong and we were weak. When the devils entered the village, our guerrillas watched from a distance, but we had no choice but to let the villagers down.

When the remnants of the national army entered the village to grab things, we had no choice but to attack the friendly army and create friction, and we could only watch the villagers suffer. "

"How can I have the face to ask the folks for help?"

Shen Wenyue didn't ask any more questions, but silently made up her mind that she must find a way to contact her father in the future and secretly send some food supplies to the guerrilla comrades.

Han Feng didn't mind having an extra military reporter like Shen Wenyue in the team. It would be a good thing if the deeds of the guerrillas fighting against the Japanese invaders in the Zhongtiao Mountain area could be published.

In this way, Shen Wenyue temporarily stayed in the guerrillas.

……

……

the other side.

Kong Jie is going to make a big deal.

For no other reason, during this period of time, as the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi went to fight in the south of Shanxi, the Japanese troops who stayed in the northwest of Shanxi became more honest, and took the initiative to switch from offensive to defensive, retreating in major counties and leaving their strongholds. .

If the little devils don't take the initiative to attack, the Eighth Route Army units that use mountainous areas and villages as guerrilla areas will lose the huge advantage of using terrain and features to fight ambush with ease, which is not easy to handle.

After thinking about it, and after considering various factors, Kong Jie set his goal on the most famous county in the world of swords——Ping'an County.

"Of course, this deal is not small, we can't do it alone, and Lao Li and Lao Ding have to notify."

"Otherwise, these two old comrades-in-arms should blame me for eating alone without saying hello."

The news delivered by Kong Jie arrived after the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

If this left other regiment leaders, they would definitely scold Kong Jie for going crazy.

At this juncture, the devils have turned from offense to defense, and the strongholds in the major counties are tightly guarded. In addition to the spring sweep not long ago, the casualties of various departments of the Eighth Route Army are not small.

It's good that the devils didn't start a big raid against the base of the Eighth Route Army, but you, Kong Jie, are going to take the initiative to attack the county town?
Here you have to be clear that in the current period, the average equipment level and combat effectiveness level of the Eighth Route Army units are actually far inferior to those of the Independent Regiment.

This is like an exam. As a top student in the Eighth Route Army, the Independent Regiment got close to full marks in the exam.

As for the troops further behind, except for the new second regiment, the new first regiment and some main regiments, the other troops that were just pulled up did not even pass the passing line.

I will not mention the equipment and ammunition for the time being. In this period, with the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area in the past few years.

Some difficult troops couldn't even eat together. With the blockade of the Japanese strongholds and the implementation of political and military control over the villages, the soldiers of these troops didn't even have half of the usual food.

Before the battle, in order to maintain their physical strength, the soldiers participating in the battle gnawed a few bites of miscellaneous grains and pancakes that they didn't have to eat on weekdays. This is a rare charge food.

Don't underestimate these few mouthfuls. Some soldiers who failed to take these few mouthfuls fell down when the enemy's gunshots sounded when they charged.

You thought you were hit by a bullet?No, it was because of starvation and fainting, or due to lack of nutrition on weekdays, with frivolous steps, unable to withstand the physical exhaustion of fighting, and fell down.

In this case, although Kong Jie's independent group has developed well and helped other groups a lot, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Later, Kong Jie went to the brigade headquarters, even to the headquarters, and reported the matter to the brigade commander.

This is what Kong Jie has been worried about. He knows better than anyone else that although the Eighth Route Army played a powerful role in the Hundred Regiments War, after the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese army continued to sweep, including the spring sweep not long ago, and the May Day soon after. big raid.

Under the heavy blockade and continuous sweeping of the Japanese army, the troops of the Eighth Route Army will usher in an unprecedented difficult period.

In some provinces, famines even broke out directly, and the land was full of starvation and mourning.

So Kong Jie always wanted to alert the brigade commander and the others, and start production in the root of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible to strive for self-sufficiency.

Usually there is food, so that you can not panic when things happen.

Kong Jie predicted that the situation in the base area would become more and more difficult in the future. After reporting to the brigade commander, and considering that the internal production of the independent regiment has been impressive for more than a year, the high-yield potatoes, various crops, and foreign trade in the regiment of various commodities.

Not to mention too much, when the other regiments couldn't even eat together, the soldiers of the independent regiment were raised fat and fat by Kong Jie.

In the words of the brigade commander, the usual meals in the regiment are better than those eaten by the brigade headquarters during the Chinese New Year.

The experienced brigade commander immediately realized the importance of Kong Jie's report, and reported the matter to the headquarters quite solemnly.

Later, after the headquarters issued an order, the various departments of the Eighth Route Army took action upon hearing the news.

On the other hand, the regiments are encouraged to engage in production internally and reclaim wasteland. The army, after training and fighting, cultivates itself and subsidizes military rations.

During the battle, the troops laid down strongholds, and the captured grain and poultry would also try to plant and raise them.

Anyway, most of the troops of the Eighth Route Army were peasants. Before the war, they were carrying hoes. After training and fighting, they dropped their guns and replaced them with farm tools.

The effect is naturally excellent, not to mention that every regiment can feed the soldiers fat and fat like the independent regiment, at least no one will starve to death.

……

New group.

Ding Wei is also a daring person. In fact, before the news of Kong Jie came, Ding Wei had already been planning for the county seat, but he just lacked an opportunity.

After the news of Kong Jie came, Ding Weiwei was overjoyed, and said with a smile in the regiment headquarters, "This is what heroes see and agree with."

The plans of the two coincided with each other.

Of course, there is another idea that coincides with each other - to encourage Li Yunlong to fight in Ping'an County.

Why?

"How can I be blamed? Old Li, who do you think our old Kong is? Even if I blame myself, I can't let your brother be blamed."

After the spring raids, as the three Audio-Technica regiments seized more and more telephone lines, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment connected through telephone calls along the secret transportation channel for the convenience of joint operations.

On the phone, Kong Jie was very relieved: "Old Li, don't think too much about it, this time your new second regiment is responsible for attacking Ping'an County. Due to the natural geographical advantages, Lao Ding and I will not rush to the distance, right?"

"I really won't let you take the blame. If the brigade commander asks, I'll tell you that my old Kong came up with the idea. Isn't that okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Yunlong is not easy to fool, just like the old Li cursed, "Kong Er fool, don't you fool me, when I was doing business to support the whole regiment, you were still waiting for the brigade commander to give you Distributing relief food!"

"I don't care if I take the blame or not. You and Lao Ding don't join forces to plot. Anyway, we, Lao Li, have too many lice on our head and are not afraid of itchiness."

"If the Brigadier really wanted our heads, he would have cut them off countless times."

"It's just that I have to tell you up front that our old Li doesn't do business at a loss, and it's okay to let our old Li take the blame. I have to take the lion's share of the benefits gained from this fight against Ping'an County."

On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie said with a smile: "It's nothing to say. Your new second regiment will be the main force in the fight against Ping'an County. You, Lao Li, have contributed the most and should be assigned the most."

"Old Ding probably won't object."

"In addition, don't worry about attacking Ping'an County. I won't let you do it alone. I will let the commando team cooperate with you to fight. First, we will completely disrupt Ping'an County and destroy the devil's power stations, communication stations, etc. All of them were blown up and paralyzed."

Li Yunlong said: "There is one more thing, the siege of Ping'an County, the number of people is small, the devils don't believe it, the main force of my new second regiment has to save the main force to fight for aid and eat meat, it can't be used for siege.

You two regiments first lent me the local troops and the militia troops. "

Kong Jie said, "Okay."

In this way, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have reached an agreement.

Niukou Village.

regiment.

In order to plan to attack Ping'an County, Kong Jie held a pre-war military meeting.

At the military meeting, the cadres were also startled when Kong Jie suddenly raised the topic of attacking Ping'an County.

"Regimental Commander, in the spring sweep not long ago, the losses of all our troops were not small. Will there be too much noise if we rashly attack the county at this juncture?" Shen Quan was the first to ask doubts.

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, smiled and said: "Recently, the devil has become a shrinking turtle and has been unable to shrink back. We can't fight any decent battles. I think it would be good to use a county town. Commander, this matter I agree."

Acting political commissar Li Wenjie was a little worried, "Leader, if we hit the county seat, should we report to the superiors in advance?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "You are all thinking too much. It is true that you want to attack the county seat, but the real purpose is not to attack the county seat, and the scale will not be too large. It is even within the scope of guerrilla warfare. Urgently report to the brigade.”

"It's not to fight the county seat, what do you mean, head?" Wang Leihu was puzzled.

Kong Jie said: "It's very simple, as everyone said, after the main force of the devils rushed to the south of Shanxi during this period, the troops left behind were not enough to sweep our base area, so the devils simply couldn't hold on."

"The absence of the main force of the devil's first army is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Eighth Route Army. It would be a pity if we fail to grasp this opportunity."

"Didn't the devil be like a turtle? Then let's fish out this bastard. How do we fish? Use the county town to fish."

"Ping'an County is not considered an important military town, and the garrison and defense forces are far inferior to those of a large county like Yangquan. But the military value is still not small. The most important thing is that the Japanese army will never watch us take down a county, causing His little devil's military prestige has been damaged."

"As long as we take up the stance of attacking Ping'an County, the devil's reinforcements from all directions will definitely rush to Ping'an County to help.

As long as the devils leave the county town and stronghold, won't our chance come? "...
