The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 517
Arrangements have been made for the defense around the Niukou village root and the guerrilla mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

Logically speaking, the defense methods that the entire independent regiment can basically do are almost the same.

Kong Jie still felt a little insecure.

Although this time it was a trap set up to lure that old devil Yamamoto into the trap, this time the action of luring the enemy is also to lay an early guarantee for the internal communication and learning of the cadres in the future.

It was proposed by Kong Jie to let the cadres of the various troops around the Taihang base area go to the independent group for visits, exchanges, and studies. In case something goes wrong, Kong Jie cannot afford this responsibility.

During this period of time, the Independence Regiment not only made a name for itself among the devils and puppet troops, but it was also well-known within the Jinsui Army, including the Eighth Route Army.

As the host, Kong Jie proposed that the cadres come to the independent group to visit, exchange and study.

If the safety of the cadres from the various regiments along the way cannot be guaranteed, wouldn't this independent regiment be the most prominent combat regiment in the entire Taihang base area at present, wouldn't it be worthy of its name?
Thinking of this, Kong Jie asked again: "Three cobblers can beat Zhuge Liang, everyone, think about it again, is there any defense that we have neglected?"

Li Wenjie, the acting political commissar, said: "Leader, according to your wishes, do a full set of dramas. This time, how to ensure the safety of the cadres from other regiments pretending to be exchanges and studies on the way to our base?"

Kong Jie said: "Wen Jie is right. Although this old devil like Yamamoto has the nature of a gambler, it is very likely that after our cadres get together, we will get together again. But what if they ambushes in the middle?"

"This has to be guarded against, but I have already communicated with the heads of the delegations who participated in the exchange and study."

"All the regiments have already prepared themselves. As for how to defend on the road, after being attacked by surprise, they should immediately wipe out the Japanese troops who attacked them. This is the responsibility of the heads of their respective regiments, so we don't have to worry about it."

Li Wenjie said: "Leader, absolute defense naturally has to consider all directions. Right now, we have taken into account the regular roads we use to enter the village. What about the mountainous area we are backing against?"

Kong Jie didn't speak immediately.Shen Quan on the side explained:
"Don't worry, the political commissar. The direction of the mountains is mainly the secret transportation channel between our three regiments of the Iron Triangle. We have already taken defensive measures on this route."

"We have defended all the passes that enter the mountain and some important roads, and even the fortifications that have been built have been guarded by soldiers."

"The little devil wants to sneak into the mountainous area unknowingly and attack our roots from the back. This is basically impossible, unless the little devil can insert wings and fly in quietly."

The cadres also nodded.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener pays attention.

After Shen Quan explained, he also felt that the possibility of a small Japanese combat force attacking from the mountainous area behind the base of the Independence Regiment was unlikely.

Kong Jie's heart skipped a beat, "If you fly in with wings, it might not be impossible."

He thought about the Airborne.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, what Kong Jie thought of was that after many years, the elite airborne troops in the true sense would basically belong to the heavenly soldiers, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are troops that operate with wings.

If the old devil Yamamoto used airborne methods to land silently on the mountainous area where the Independence Regiment was backed, and then carried out a surprise attack from the back, it would not be impossible.

Commander, you should think of all possibilities before the battle.

All the cadres were stunned.

"Captain, can't it be, the little devil can really fly in with wings?"

"It's unlikely, is it?"

Kong Jie said, "Do you know about parachute operations?"

Shen Quan said: "Commander, what do you mean, the troops that the devils attacked may even parachute from the plane, jump to the mountain area behind us, and then carry out a surprise attack?"

Kong Jie asked back: "Looking at you, do you think this is unlikely?"

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, said: "Regimental commander, is it possible that we don't know, anyway, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, we have never encountered any parachute troops from the devils."

Shen Quan said: "The devil's means of air combat is generally the plane. I have also heard that on the frontal battlefield, when the Japanese army was dealing with the national army, they used observation hot air balloons to provide data for artillery strikes. "

"If you say that, Captain, we really have to be on guard. What if these little devils find a way to fall from the sky into the mountains?"

Kong Jie said: "That's right. Although the Japanese army seldom use airborne means, they are not afraid of what happens, just in case."

"It's just that the mountainous area we are backed by is too vast. With our manpower, trying to find the devils or the small combat troops hiding in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we don't have to spend so much effort.

In anti-infiltration operations, it is better to be passive than active.

In this way, on the one hand, some teams were secretly dispatched to lurk in the secret transportation passages of our three regiments, near the base area, to guard against accidents.

Once infiltrated by devils, it's fine for the troops to entangle the opponent. Don't think about destroying the opponent at once, then our sacrifice is unavoidable, and it is not worthwhile.

In addition, some booby traps are added for anti-infiltration operations.

Shen Quan, you are responsible for this, especially when you are close to our root area, you must strengthen the anti-infiltration preparations. Even if the devil's small combat troops really infiltrate, you must make it difficult for them to move forward. will be fully exposed. "

"Yes!" Shen Quan replied.

After the meeting, Kong Jie talked with Ding Wei and Li Yunlong respectively.

The general content is to let the new second regiment and the new first regiment also prepare for anti-infiltration. Once the Japanese troops appear in the mountainous area surrounded by the three regiments, they will immediately encircle them, block all exits, and expel the infiltrated devils. All wiped out.

Kong Jie felt a little relieved when everything was ready.

……

……

Japanese army.

Yamamoto made up his mind to take advantage of the advance team to sneak attack the Independence Regiment from the guerrilla mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, attracting the attention of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, take the opportunity to parachute into the mountainous area behind the Independence Regiment base to conduct a surprise attack.

After Yamamoto's order was arranged, with the cooperation of all parties of the Japanese army, the efficiency was very high.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yamamoto summoned an elite special agent team preparing for parachute operations and brought enough equipment needed for airborne operations.

The troops took trucks and quickly and secretly arrived near the nearest airport.

At the airport, the Japanese army prepared a military transport plane for Yamamoto's airborne operation.

Yamamoto decided to put the time for the parachute on the morning of the day when the Eighth Route Army held an internal exchange and study meeting, just after the sky brightened.

Before that, Yamamoto had made a series of preparations.

The first is to make special preparations for parachuting in mountainous areas.

In order to reduce the number of parachute members who fell into the mountains and were scratched by branches and the like, non-combat attrition occurred.

Yamamoto specially found all kinds of equipment for the members to protect their vital parts, such as knee pads, wrist guards, goggles, tactical vests and so on.

As for weapons, for the convenience of parachuting, there are mainly some light weapons, such as sniper rifles, grenades, submachine guns, and pistols.

In addition, all members are also equipped with a set of Eighth Route Army uniforms in advance, which will be changed immediately after landing.

The idea of ​​Yamamoto's execution of the beheading operation this time is to disguise himself as an Eighth Route Army unit and carry out an infiltration raid from the back of the mountain independent regiment's base.

Just in time for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to go to the independent regiment for exchange and study, and the members participating in the beheading operation are all members of the specially trained secret service team. It may not be impossible to pretend to be the Eighth Route Army and pass the customs.

If you can successfully approach the place where the Eighth Route Army cadres gather.

Even if this elite team is finished, as long as it can cause enough trauma to the cadres gathered by the Eighth Route Army, it will be a victory.

As for the movement during the airborne process.

The appearance of airplanes is the easiest to expose. Fortunately, the mountains are vast, and the Eighth Route Army may not be able to detect them.

In addition, the Japanese army often sent some reconnaissance planes to investigate the activities of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Mountains.

The Eighth Route Army troops should not be surprised by this.

It can be said that the beheading operation was absolutely concealed.

But it is absolutely impossible, and Yamamoto is also very helpless about this.

His secret service team has been completely exposed since the raid on the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Daxiawan.

How can an exposed special operations force achieve absolute concealment?

Yamamoto even imagined it from the perspective of Kong Jie, and he might not have imagined that the imperial army would carry out an infiltration raid by a small combat force.

In addition, at the request of Nobutoshi Kawakubo, the deputy chief of the general staff of the Japanese army a few days ago, Yamamoto led the team to carry out infiltration raids in various bases of the Eighth Route Army.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army must have been wary of a small infiltration raid force like Yamamoto.

Of course, Yamamoto is convinced that soldiers never tire of deceit.

Eight Routes was prepared, and it may not be impossible to complete the beheading operation.

Perhaps it was precisely because Eighth Road was on guard that he would take it lightly.

Who can keep abreast of the ever-changing events in war?
……

Time passed quickly.

Twenty days, night.

The moon is bright.

A secret special Japanese combat unit set off quietly, left Yangquan, and after arriving in the area of ​​Zhangjiazhuang and Xicun, plunged headlong into the mountains on the middle line between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

This is the team of the Devils Advance Team.

According to Yamamoto's order, led by the leader of the advance team, Morita, from the Eighth Route Army mountainous area between Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, infiltrated and raided the roots of Niukou Village.

After entering the summer night, there is not much coldness.

Devil Major Zuo Morita led the team carefully.

This guy is also shrewd enough. Even if he marches at night, he mainly takes the devils of the advance team along the steepest and most marginal road in the entire mountainous area.

On this point, before departure, Morita analyzed several captains of the advancing team.

"In this mountainous area, the Eighth Route Army must be on guard, perhaps the landmines planted by the cunning Tuba Road may be triggered at any time in the mountains.

So we choose the road ahead, one is to choose the direction with footprints that Tuba Road often walks, and the other is to choose a relatively remote and steep area.

The possibility of the Eight Routes setting traps in these places is the smallest. "

"Hi--"

But the actual situation is that the old devil Morita thinks too much. Kong Jie is worried that the little devil who infiltrated will trigger the landmine before entering the mountain.

So Kong Jie arranged for the soldiers to place some traps for reverse osmosis in the middle and rear areas of the mountain.

The devils, who were self-righteous and advancing cautiously all the way, felt that they had successfully approached the middle of the entire mountainous area by relying on their own wisdom.

After successfully arriving in the middle of the mountain, Morita ordered in a low voice to lurk on the spot and wait for dawn.

Wait for the cadres of the various units of the Eighth Route Army to come to the independent regiment for an internal exchange and study meeting as agreed, and wait until the cadres of the Eighth Route Army are completely assembled.

This is the time for Morita to lead the advancing team to carry out the beheading operation.

To say that this group is wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and pretending to be the devil advance team of the Eighth Route Army, they are indeed the elite of the Japanese army.

This point can be seen only by the endurance shown by these devil members.

After Morita gave the order to ambush, some members of the advance team hid in the bushes, some buried themselves under fallen leaves, and some hid on tree trunks.

Each of them spent the second half of the night cautiously, but not a single one fell asleep.

……

nineteenth.

In the afternoon, a Japanese military plane flew over the ground in Taihanggen.

The entire Eighth Route Army, except for some cadres of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Independent Regiment, even if they found Japanese aircraft, they didn't think much about it, and they were used to it for a long time.

In order to deal with the reconnaissance aircraft of the Japanese army, the locations of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the Taihang base area were relatively hidden.

In addition, some targets will be disguised to deceive the eyes of the devil's aircraft scouts.

After the Devil's reconnaissance plane flew a few laps over the Taihang base area, it left as usual.

Niukou Village.

Independence regiment station.

Kong Jie pointed to the sky, "Monk, did you hear that?"

The monk wondered: "What?"

Kong Jie said: "A plane of the Japanese army."

The monk said: "Well, I heard some movement, but it seems to be quite far away."

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Guess, could it be a transport plane used by the Japanese army to parachute combat troops?"

The monk had participated in the previous meeting, and said with a smile: "Head, the devil is rushing to reincarnate, and he is flying to die!"

Kong Jie was startled, then burst out laughing.

……

twenty days.

Around six o'clock in the morning, the sky completely brightened.

The reveille hadn't sounded yet, and in a daze, some Eighth Route Army soldiers seemed to hear the sound of a plane flying in mid-air.

"You bastard, why don't you let him go to bed? You come to investigate in the early morning."

Some soldiers cursed in a daze, and not long after that, the wake-up call sounded, and they all got up, washed up quickly, and started their morning exercises.

……

A vast mountainous area surrounded by the roots of the three regiments of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment.

The plane passed by, and some black spots could be vaguely seen falling in the distance.

These black dots fell on the vast mountainous area, just like dropping a pebble on a vast river, and the inconspicuous water ripples were fleeting.

... In order to ensure that the skydiving can accurately land on the mountain you want, the team can quickly assemble after the parachute.

In the parachute operation led by Yamamoto himself, the devil members of the secret service team parachuted at a height of only between [-] and [-] meters, which is a low-altitude airborne.

The Japanese soldiers parachuted, and from the time the parachute was successfully opened to landing, it only took a few seconds to land on the ground.

In the silent mountain forest, there was soon the sound of branches snapping, and the sound of flesh hitting the ground.

The risk factor of this parachute operation is so high, if it is not for the well-trained, well-equipped, and specially trained special agent team for low-altitude airborne elites, I am afraid that the current wave of parachute jumps will basically fall into a box.

The experienced Yamamoto, after opening the parachute, operated the parachute, and quickly selected the relatively empty area in the middle of the two big trees to fall.

The umbrella that was finally opened was hung at the intersection of the two tree trunks in the middle area, about one meter above the ground, perfectly avoiding the collision with the ground at the moment of falling.

Yamamoto quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist, cut the parachute cord, and landed smoothly.

The team members he led basically landed in this area, and when Yamamoto looked up, there were already team members gathering in his direction.

These well-trained elite devils move quickly and with high efficiency.

After the members assembled quickly, they lined up and counted.

"One, two, three... 24."

Then, there was no one else.

Yamamoto was a little dumbfounded, and counted it himself. Sure enough, there were only 31 people left in the original 25-member team including him.

"Baga, check quickly, which members are missing."

The devils looked left and right, and after a quick check, the deputy captain of the devil, Takemoto Hui, whose left face was cut by a tree branch during the parachute, reported: "Report to Chief, Harada, Aoki, Zuo Zhi... six people are missing."

Yamamoto cursed inwardly, and said in a low voice, "To find them, you need to see people alive and corpses in death. In addition, bury the parachute immediately on the spot."

"Hi!"

After more than ten minutes, people found it. The four corpses were lying neatly, and one devil even pulled it off from the branch that penetrated the body.

Sophisticated equipment still failed to save his life.

The other two were seriously injured and unable to move. If they were not found by their companions by luck, they might starve to death in this mountain.

Looking at the rapid reduction of staff before the battle started.

Yamamoto's face turned pale.

This is really Yamamoto-kun who died before leaving the army and wanted to cry without tears.

It's unlucky that such a situation has happened before the beheading operation has officially started...
