The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 503

After Kong Jie explained this, all the cadres immediately came to their senses.

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Regimental Commander, I understand that it is fake to attack the county seat, and ambushes secretly, and the reinforcements to attack the devils are real. It is a bit like encircling a point to attack the reinforcements, and Ping'an County is the point."

"I understand very thoroughly." Kong Jie praised.

Li Wenjie said: "Commander, if you say that, it sounds like it's feasible to hit the county seat."

"First of all, it is Ping'an County. We only need to pretend that we are going to take down Ping'an County with all our strength. Most of the devil reinforcements around will come to reinforce us."

"Now, the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi has gone to Zhongtiao Mountain. When the devils have no main force, other counties dare not add too many troops in order to ensure their own defensive strength."

"The devils took the initiative to leave the county for reinforcements, and on the way they gave us a chance to ambush them secretly."

Du Aiguo, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, asked abruptly, "The political commissar's analysis is very good, but the Japanese army is not stupid, and they will probably guess our intentions. If the devils just watch Ping'an County being attacked by us, he will not send troops. What about reinforcements?"

Kong Jie said decisively: "If the devils really don't increase their numbers, they will make a fake show and take down Ping'an County directly."

"In one battle, we won all the resources hoarded by the Japanese army in Ping'an County. We will not lose in this battle."

Du Aiguo stopped talking.

Since the team leader is courageous and has already thought of this, then there is no problem.

Kong Jie said: "Of course, our main purpose is to ambush and attack reinforcements."

"If we really attack the county, the scale will be difficult to control. This will exceed our pre-war estimates. We are still in the stage of strategic stalemate. Taking the initiative to attack the devil's county may seem to have won the battle partially, but it may not be a good thing overall. "

"However, it is unlikely that the devils will watch Ping'an County being taken down by us."

"With the arrogance of the Japanese army, they won successive victories on the frontal battlefield, and they would never allow them to be in the occupied area and be defeated by our Eighth Route Army troops."

"This is a conspiracy. Even if the Japanese army knew that we might send reinforcements halfway, they would definitely send reinforcements."

"In the final analysis, under the premise of falsely attacking Ping'an County, it is impossible for us to eat all the reinforcements from the Japanese army. As long as a certain amount of reinforcements arrive in Ping'an County, the crisis in Ping'an County will be resolved immediately."

The cadres nodded their heads.

Wang Leihu said: "Leader, you can just give the order directly!"

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about the combat missions of each battalion."

Kong Jie got up, and a group of cadres followed behind him. After arriving at the sand table map in the outer hall, Kong Jie pointed to the map and said, "Looking at the current situation, once we start to attack Ping'an County, the Japanese army will rush to Ping'an County for reinforcements." , there are mainly these roads.

One way is the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Taigu, the other way is the reinforcements from Zhangzhuang, and the other way is from Yangquan or even Tan County.

The direction of Taiyuan City is far away... There is also the possibility of supporting Ping'an County. If the devils go down the railway line, they will arrive soon. Part of the raid operation blocked the railway transportation line of the Japanese army. "

"Let's not talk about the reinforcements coming from Taigu and Taiyuan City. These two roads pass through the defense zone of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment. It may not be our turn."

"But we don't have to worry about it. The devils who have passed through Yangquan, Zhangzhuang, and Tan County, if your battalions really have the ability, give it to me."

Wang Leihu said: "Regimental Commander, just look at it! My [-]st Battalion defense zone is on the right way from Yangquan to Ping'an County. The devils who came to support from Yangquan, and the ambush on the way, are enough for the little devils to drink a pot."

Kong Jie instructed: "This time it's a fake attack on Ping'an County, don't be too serious and fight the devils when you fight for aid.

I really can't stop it, and it's okay to let it go.

Of course, you can't just let it pass without any obstacles, so that once the devil reinforcements arrive in Ping'an County and Ping'an County stabilizes, the devil reinforcements from other directions may retreat directly.

Therefore, the aid from all directions can be regarded as buying time for our ambush. "

"Understood—" several battalion commanders responded in unison.

Kong Jie continued: "Also, since it's an ambush, we should take advantage of the ambush."

"The enemy who can use explosives to smooth out the terrain and features does not have to let our soldiers risk their lives to fight."

"These devils are supporting all the way to Ping'an County. They pass a lot of bridges and roads. I will blow up the ones that should be bombed. Don't be reluctant. We won't repair them if they are bombed. If you want to facilitate transportation, you have to repair them for us. "

"Some of these bridges were also built by the little devils over the years. When there were no bridges back then, we still had paths to pass through, and we are not afraid of being blown up by them."

"Anyway, compared to the little devil, we are barefoot and not afraid of him wearing shoes."

"Blank bombs were planted on the highway in advance."

"As for the local troops and militia comrades, this time I will lend them to the New Second Regiment. It's just that when the news spreads, I will make an agreement with these comrades to let them be more clever. When they go to besiege Ping'an County, they will encounter meat eaters Don't let the opportunity pass by, and don't waste the oil and water from Lao Li."

……

After a pause, Kong Jie said, "That's all I have to explain. The battalion commanders have the final say on how to arrange the reinforcements. When you need artillery support from the regiment headquarters, you can report at any time.

Do you have anything else to add? "

The cadres shook their heads, Kong Jie announced that the meeting was over, and everyone left to make preparations.

After the meeting, Kong Jie had someone call Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando.

"The mission is very clear. You immediately rush to the New Second Regiment and cooperate with Li Yunlong to enter Ping'an County before Li Yunlong besieges Ping'an County, and destroy the devil's communication stations, power stations, railway stations and other military facilities in Ping'an County. Let’s talk about the complete chaos in Ping’an County.”

"Yes!" Ye Min took the order and left.

Kong Jie reckoned that there would be chaos in the city first, and the troops sent by Li Yunlong outside the city to besiege Ping'an County on a large scale.

After everything was arranged, Kong Jie walked out of the courtyard of the regiment headquarters. Just as he was about to take a breath, he saw Sun Desheng standing firmly at the door.

Kong Jie had a headache, but Sun Desheng gave a military salute and asked directly: "Regiment commander, there is a battle in the regiment. I see that all battalions and companies are preparing for battle. You can't let our cavalry company continue to train, can you? Been training for a long time.

The comrades all urged me to come and ask. If I don’t get the combat mission back this time, I will have no face to talk to my comrades. "

Kong Jie said helplessly: "What kind of general is really leading such soldiers, Sun Desheng, why are these soldiers you brought out so eager to fight?"

Sun Desheng said: "Commander, there's no way. Now the devils are coming to our door. Soldiers who don't kill devils are still soldiers?"

Kong Jie thought for a while and asked, "It's not impossible for your cavalry company to participate in the battle, but I have to ask about the situation. How is the progress of your cavalry company's transition and integration into semi-mechanized heavy troops during this period?"

Sun Desheng said: "Regimental commander, please rest assured that you can stand the inspection of the regimental commander at any time. Now the soldiers of my cavalry company don't talk big, and are familiar with those mechanical equipment, just like they are familiar with their own war horses."

"The coordinated operations of mechanical combat troops and cavalry troops have also made great progress, and various coordinated tactics have been trained for many days."

"Commander, you said that we hope that our cavalry company will adapt to the changes in the combat environment, and gradually transform from a pure cavalry unit to a semi-mechanized heavy-armored unit and a combat unit composed of multiple arms."

"Comrades are working hard in this direction, and now, everyone hopes to have a chance of actual combat so that they can better hone their skills."

Kong Jie was a little surprised that such words could come out of Sun Desheng's mouth.

"Old Sun, Chen Dalian taught you these words, right?"

Sun Desheng scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled, "Leader, you can see it at a glance? Because of this, I have followed the instructor for a long time to memorize it!"

Kong Jie laughed. Seeing Sun Desheng's firm gaze, he thought for a while, it is really not good to leave the cavalry company alone in the current battle.

Then he encouraged: "Old Sun, the cavalry has always been one of the important arms of the army. In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry is the absolute trump card."

"Even in today's era of hot weapons, with guns and cannons, even if we think that cavalry will eventually be completely replaced by gradually developed mechanized troops."

"But it is destined not to be a process of sudden change, but a process of slow transition and gradual change."

"From cavalry, to semi-mechanized cavalry, and finally to fully mechanized troops, these are three steps in the transition."

"Currently, the cavalry and semi-mechanized troops of our independent regiment are in this linking stage."

"It depends on you, Sun Desheng, whether the cavalry can burst out with dazzling brilliance again before the cavalry completely withdraw from the stage, even surpassing the glory of the invincible cavalry in the cold weapon period!"

Hearing this, Sun Desheng was so excited that even his body trembled slightly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Regimental Commander, I, Sun Desheng, am a rough man. I don't know what is honorable or not, but I have fought against the cavalry for most of my life." I just want to tell everyone that even in this era of guns, cavalry will not be buried, and when it comes to killing devils, our cavalry is definitely no worse than infantry."

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Okay, in this battle, I'll wait for your cavalry company to shine, Sun Desheng obeys orders."

Sun Desheng replied: "Here!"

Kong Jie said: "After the start of the feigned attack on Ping'an County, the Japanese reinforcements from Yangquan to Ping'an County were one of the main reinforcements.

On the middle route between Yangquan and Ping'an County, there is a plain area.

As I have said, cavalry is by no means used to fight tough battles, but there is nothing better than cavalry to harass and surprise the enemy in open areas like this.

Your cavalry company is responsible for ambush near this plain area, and after the first battalion commander fights with the Japanese reinforcements, take the opportunity to detour and launch a surprise attack from the back or two wings.

The various coordinated tactics that have been trained for many days can come in handy. "

"Yes, please don't worry, leader, and promise to complete the task!" Sun Desheng vowed.

Kong Jie said: "Go, if this battle is successful, your cavalry company will officially change its name and become an independent regiment semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion. That is the direction your cavalry company will work hard to move forward."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng said.

……

……

All arrangements are in place, on the [-]th, the ninth day of the Battle of Jinnan.

In the face of the Japanese army sticking to the county seat and unable to move out of the stronghold, the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi finally aimed at the county seat in the area occupied by the devils-Ping'an County.

At around six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still bright on the eve of the night.

The dead silence of the entire Ping'an County before dawn was broken by a sudden, rapidly expanding, and intensified explosion.

The violent explosion sound overwhelmed the sound.

Not only the Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County, but even the civilians living there were awakened by the explosion in their sleep, and they all looked in the direction of the explosion in panic.

Fortunately, the explosion was not aimed at civilians, and the purpose seemed to be very clear.

The Japanese army's military power supply station, communication station, and military train transportation station had a big explosion almost at the same time.

Then, he sneaked into Ping'an County secretly and caused big explosions everywhere. The enemies who aimed at the devil's power supply station, communication station, and train station became more and more rampant. Guard.

This Ping'an County is not considered a strategic location, nor is it a large county.

There is a Japanese gendarmerie brigade of more than 200 people stationed in Ping'an County, the captain of which is Shigeru Fujita, whose rank is no more than a major.

In addition, there is a puppet army garrison and a Japanese infantry squad stationed in Ping'an County.

In addition to these, there are some puppet troops.

A total of six to seven hundred people.

At this moment, as the explosion intensified, the continuous raids quickly exploded the entire Ping'an County.

The devils and puppet soldiers woke up from their sleep one after another, and attacked everywhere amidst the blaring of sirens, searching for the enemies who had sneaked into the county.

Command.

"Report sir, the communication station appears to have been damaged and the phone has been disconnected."

"Reporting sir, news came from the power supply station that it was blasted by the infiltrated enemy army, and the power supply system has been paralyzed."

Fujita Shigeru, the captain of the Japanese Gendarmerie who sits at the headquarters, has a serious face, aware of the coming crisis.

The one who sneaked into the county was naturally the commando led by Ye Min.

The defensive force in Ping'an County can only be regarded as an ordinary county. It is not difficult for the commando comrades to infiltrate the county and carry out a classic blasting operation.

As for the explosions made in the devil's military power supply station, communication station, and railway station, some used explosives, and some used time bombs. Several shells were fired.

Just so arrogant.

In Ye Min's words, this time it was to cooperate with the feint attack outside the city, and if there was any trouble, it would be a big trouble.

As for the end of the blasting operation, Kong Jie has already made arrangements. Inside Ping'an County, comrades from the enemy industry department will respond in advance. After the blasting task is completed, the commando members will quickly sneak into the homes of these comrades who secretly responded.

Hide in the secret road to avoid the search of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Of course, perhaps there was no need to dodge at all.

With the skills of the commando members and the cover of the sky that has not yet brightened, it is difficult to quickly search the entire county with six or seven hundred devils.

Until the sky was bright, the sound of cannons outside the city suddenly sounded.

The members of the commando laughed together, now the devils have no time to search for them in the county.

The battle to attack Ping'an County has already begun...
