The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 516

It has to be said that the insight of this old devil Yamamoto is quite powerful.

The three regiments led by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, known as the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, have secretly hidden troop transport passages in the mountains to facilitate timely reinforcements and joint operations.

This is also the reason why the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment were able to reinforce them in time when the Japanese army launched attacks on the Independent Regiment many times, and even joined forces with the Independent Regiment to ambush the Japanese army in turn.

Yamamoto was the first Japanese officer to analyze the existence of this hidden transportation channel.

For this reason, Yamamoto even believes that anyone who wants to eliminate the Independent Regiment or the New First Regiment or the New Second Regiment must take the lead in cutting off the secret transportation channel between the three regiments of the Iron Triangle.

Only by isolating the three regiments can the triangular defense system of the Iron Triangle be completely broken.

In order to achieve this goal, Yamamoto, who judged that the three regiments of the Iron Triangle must have a secret and convenient transportation channel between the mountains, ordered some troops to try to infiltrate this mountainous area and find this secret transportation channel.

It just hasn't been productive.

The plainclothes team sent by Yamamoto, as well as some traitors, have been circling around the outskirts of the mountain.

It is very difficult to enter the mountainous area guarded by the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

According to the information sent back by the Devils' reconnaissance troops, the surrounding passes that mainly entered the mountain were strictly guarded by the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army even built some fortifications.

It is easy to get lost by choosing a direction to drill into the mountainous area without any purpose, and it is unlikely to find the secret transportation channel.

Therefore, Yamamoto's plan to send troops to raid the independent regiment through this secret transportation channel has never been successful.

However, because of the special protection of the mountainous area by the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, Yamamoto was even more certain that this convenient passage definitely existed.

"If this passage can be successfully found this time, there is a high possibility of beheading the independent regiment headquarters and the Eighth Route Army cadres who rushed to the independent regiment for exchange and study while the advance team attacked Niukou Village as a frontal cover. .”

Vice-captain Takemoto naturally knew the existence of this secret transportation passage, he worried: "But, Commander, this secret passage that must exist must be strictly controlled by the Eighth Route Army troops, we want to sneak in without their vigilance." Among them, I’m afraid it’s not easy.”

Yamamoto nodded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his right index finger, pointed in the air, and said:
"It is naturally difficult to infiltrate from the ground in a conventional way, but if combat teams can be dropped directly from the air, these problems will be solved."

Takemoto was startled, and said, "Master, what do you mean, the secret service team will launch a small-scale parachute operation for this beheading operation?"

No wonder Takemoto was a little surprised.

To be honest, the Japanese army did have airborne troops.

It's just that the Japanese airborne troops started and developed relatively late, and their combat effectiveness has not been formed much.

Speaking of the development of the Japanese airborne troops, in the early 30s, the upsurge of airborne troops from Moscow soon swept the Japanese army.

The Japanese army began to keep up with the trend of the times, forming its own airborne troops and conducting airborne training.

It is a pity that the Japanese army's cognition and training of airborne troops is basically a blank sheet of paper.

No experience to speak of.

The so-called airborne training can only be described as bad.

The officer in charge of training the airborne troops has no idea how to train the airborne troops.

The so-called training method was initially to let soldiers jump from a high place.

It's kind of ridiculously imaginative.

Do you really think that if you jump higher, you will become an airborne soldier?
This unreliable training method was actually obtained by the red deer of the Japanese army and navy through public training photos in US and Soviet newspapers.

But these photos are actually photos of other airborne soldiers showing off. How can they really be used as a reference for airborne training?

That's it, one dares to think, the other dares to do.

The little devil with a spirit of pragmatism started the training of the paratroopers in full swing.

That's it, I have been training until [-] years.

The so-called airborne troops of the Japanese army did not have any tricks in training.

They have not really performed so-called parachute operations, and they may not even be proficient in the use of parachutes.

When they got on the transport plane and even got airsick and vomited on the way, it was time for them to parachute from a height of several hundred meters.

As a result, the entire airborne force had nothing to do with the elite. The so-called biggest role of the Japanese airborne force may be to enrich the number of Japanese troops.

The Japanese are strict in their work, and look down on those who dawdle the most. Some people ridiculed this:
"The best pilots are in the land attack, the best soldiers are in the navy, and the rest are in the paratroopers."

This is the status quo of the so-called airborne troops of the Japanese army until now.

Yamamoto is naturally also aware of the status quo of the Imperial Airborne Forces.

But since he chose to carry out parachute operations, he naturally has his reasons.

"Currently, there are nearly [-] original elite members of the secret service team. These members initially experienced quite rigorous airborne training. Together with them, I have conducted many successful airborne combat exercises."

"They are completely different from the garbage airborne soldiers currently serving in the empire, and they will definitely be qualified for this airborne mission."

Takemoto nodded. He understood Yamamoto's determination. After thinking about it, Takemoto said, "Hi, Your Excellency, I understand what you mean."

"It's just that this airborne operation is extremely difficult for our special agent team. There is a saying in China that you can't put all your eggs in one basket."

At this point, his words faltered, "In order not to cut off the inheritance of special operations, in order to carry forward special operations in the imperial army, Your Excellency, please be sure to entrust me with the combat mission of carrying out the airborne and beheading operations. "

Yamamoto shook his head, and said slowly:

"This time it can be said that I have accomplished all my merits in one battle. I can only feel at ease if I lead the team personally. Besides, how can I be reconciled if I don't destroy the independent team with my own hands?"

"Takemoto-kun, there is a saying that you said is right. The secret service team must keep fire. After I lead the team to set off, the others will be handed over to you."

"If this beheading operation is successful, even if I can't lead the team back, with this record as a foreshadowing, you can still be a theorist of special operations and carry forward special operations tactics in the imperial army."

"If you fail, the last hope of the secret service team is also pinned on you. Please do your best and never let the special operations be buried."

Takemoto said: "I would like to go with Da Zuo. As for this important task, you should leave it to other people!"

Seeing Takemoto's resolute gaze, Yamamoto hesitated a little, and nodded: "That's all, let's go together!"

"Hi!" Takemoto replied loudly.

……

……

Niukou Village.

The headquarters of the independent regiment is stationed.

Tomorrow morning is the time for the pre-planned internal exchange meeting of Eighth Route Army cadres. Of course, this is just a trap, to lure that old devil Yamamoto into being fooled.

"This old devil Yamamoto is cunning and shrewd. We have to do a full set of plays. Tomorrow morning, each regiment will send a team to our independent regiment pretending to be cadres for internal exchange and study."

"If Yamamoto wants to take the opportunity to carry out the beheading operation, he will definitely not miss this opportunity. We have to be prepared first."

At the military meeting held, Kong Jie said so.

Several battalion commanders who participated in the meeting expressed their views one after another.

Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan took the lead and said: "Regimental Commander, the Japanese army was only used by us in Ping'an County a few days ago to encircle and attack aid and suffered a great loss.

In addition, the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has not yet ended, even if the Japanese army gets the news, the possibility of aggressively attacking our independent regiment is very small.

If the old devil Yamamoto wanted to carry out a sneak attack, he would probably use his small combat force to carry out some kind of beheading operation. "

"We also have a special forces team. The most important thing to do in beheading operations is to maintain absolute concealment before the final battle breaks out. Once the gunshots are fired, the mission will basically fail."

"So, if Yamamoto wants to take advantage of our internal exchange meeting to launch a surprise attack, based on their actual situation, it is absolutely impossible to get in from the village and our front line of defense."

"If I were that old devil Yamamoto, I would most likely go to the mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang."

Battalion Commander Wang Leihu retorted: "Old Shen, if you take this route, the old Devil Yamamoto passed by when the Devil Ishii Regiment came to sweep it, but he was defeated badly.

In addition, if you follow this route, it will be difficult to avoid our defense line at the entrance of the village.

Do you think Yamamoto will choose to make a surprise attack from this direction? "

Shen Quan said: "Why not? Soldiers never tire of cheating? We didn't think it would be possible, but the little devil just did it?"

Wang Leihu said: "Then what is the purpose of choosing this path? It is obviously impossible to make a surprise attack on this path."

The other battalion commanders mixed in each sentence. Thinking about it carefully, what the second battalion commander and the battalion commander said seemed to make sense.

In the end Kong Jie said: "What the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander said is actually good."

"Regardless of whether the old devil Yamamoto will choose to attack from the mountainous area on the middle line between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, this mountainous area is one of the key points for our defense."

"The Japanese army wants to decapitate our independent regiment. The first step is to infiltrate it, otherwise nothing will be discussed."

"And the Japanese army wants to infiltrate, so what we have to do is to carry out anti-infiltration defense operations."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie arranged: "One of the key points of this anti-osmosis defense operation is the mountainous guerrilla area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang."

"The anti-infiltration defense we want to do is actually very simple. First, add booby traps, bullet mines, and mines, which can easily expose the Japanese infiltration troops. However, it should be noted that these methods should be placed as far as possible in guerrilla mountainous areas. Central area, otherwise the devils would be exposed early, turn around and retreat, and it will not be easy for us to eliminate this devil."

"In addition, we must communicate in advance and notify the surrounding villagers to avoid accidental injury."

"Second, adopt more mobile defense tactics. Whether it is the patrol team in charge of defense in the village, or the guerrilla team that is mobile to investigate at any time in this guerrilla mountainous area, keep an eye on the surrounding movement at all times, and never let the devil troops infiltrate easily. .”

"Third, increase the number of secret sentries at various important passes, and increase the distribution area. The guerrilla mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang must not be overlooked. Use the stationary secret sentries to detect the infiltration troops moving by the Japanese army and serve as our troops at any time. Eyes, to detect the troops infiltrated by the Japanese army."...
