The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 645

Time passed quickly to nearly evening.

The fighting in the surrounding areas of the first anti-Japanese detachment in Northwest Shanxi continued.

It's just that the battle at this time has changed from a large-scale confrontation to a partial strangulation.

The more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops that had been advancing southwestward successfully withdrew more than [-] elite Japanese troops.

The two devil brigades of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yuncheng, which were originally advancing northward, also successfully withdrew more than a thousand people and retreated to southern Shanxi.

As for the several puppet regiments that participated in the war, they were basically wiped out or captured by the independent regiment.

Part of the battle is still going on, it is the Japanese troops surrounded by soldiers.

Compared with the weak combat awareness of the puppet army that would surrender at every turn, although these besieged little devils are only second-rate security forces, their combat awareness is still quite strong, and they will never surrender easily unless they fight to the last person.

Facing these stubborn Japanese invaders, Kong Jie did not hesitate.

"Our Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially. It's a pity that these little devils don't want to be prisoners. As long as they are still holding guns, they will all be wiped out, and no one will be left!"

The final battle broke out, and the soldiers who surrounded part of the Japanese army launched an attack.

The little devil's last resort - the plane, is still circling in mid-air.

The Japanese troops on the ground were besieged by the Eighth Route Army troops, and the little devils of the flying team did not expect to be able to rescue them.

They only wanted to let these besieged imperial soldiers show their last light and heat, and use the strangulation of both sides to continue the bombing, causing more trauma to the Eighth Route Army troops.

When attacking the remaining Japanese army, the equipment and firepower of the soldiers of the first detachment had completely crushed the opponent.

In the past, it was the little devils who rushed after the artillery bombarded the infantry, and the infantry rushed after the artillery bombarded.

Now it was the turn of the soldiers of the first detachment to raise their crushing artillery, directly shelled the stubborn Japanese army, and then launched a charge.

The two artillery pieces of the artillery company of the Third Independent Regiment led by Shen Quan followed up with the troops to support the operation.

The commander of the artillery company was originally the platoon leader of the mortar company of the independent regiment, and an artillery cadre brought out by Wang Chengzhu himself.

Before the artillery set off, the commander of the artillery company repeatedly explained: "The little devil's plane is still flying overhead. Once our artillery fires, the rising smoke will be easily noticed by the Japanese army and attract the bombing of the devil."

"So before firing the artillery, it is necessary to water the artillery position area, especially the dusty ground, with water."

"To prevent the smoke from the artillery firing from arousing the detection of the Devil bombers."

"In addition, do a good job of concealment. Each artillery piece cannot exceed 2 minutes at most, and a position transfer must be carried out."

The artillery soldiers carried out the orders of the company commander meticulously.

This is a pain for the devil flying team hovering in the sky.

The sky was already close to dusk, and the light had gradually dimmed. I originally wanted to take advantage of the fire and smoke from the artillery fire of the Eight Routes to lock on to the target.

As a result, only listening to the sound of the cannon, the devil pilots sitting on the whizzing plane had difficulty pinpointing where the target point was.

If they bombed blindly, the Devils Flying Team was also worried that the bombs would be dropped, and the Eighth Route Army scattered in the mountains and forests would not be bombed, and then their own people in the encirclement would be bombed.

It would be a shame to throw it home.

Independent Third Regiment Command.

Shen Quan, head of the third regiment, learned that the battle on the front line was going smoothly, and it was only a matter of time before the besieged Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated.

After hearing the news, Shen Quan had an idea and gave an order:
"Opportunities to train soldiers like this are rare. Send some of our new recruits to see the world."

"In addition, our artillery company has just been established, and the infantry coordination tactics are far from as mature as the artillery battalion and infantry coordination of the detachment headquarters."

"Just take advantage of the current battle to conduct actual combat training of infantry coordination."

It is no coincidence.

Wang Leihu, head of the Second Independent Regiment, and Lei Dasheng, commander of the First Battalion of the First Independent Regiment, also sensed that the current local battlefield is an excellent opportunity for training.

So one after another took the besieged Japanese and puppet troops as fat cattle to be slaughtered.

At the same time, according to Kong Jie's order from the headquarters, Wang Huaibao led part of the elite of the Fourth Independent Regiment to cover the Henan-Shanxi District Committee and move closer to the Zhongtiao Mountain area in advance.

False and true, true and false.

The Japanese invaders wanted to prevent the first team from going south to Zhongtiao Mountain.

Right now, with the retreat of the Japanese invaders.

Kong Jie's actions in Zhongtiaoshan can naturally continue in a swaggering manner.

In order to ensure the safety of the Yujin District Party Committee, Kong Jie chose to let the peripheral combat troops cover all the way.

……

Until night falls.

It was divided into many local small battlefields, and all the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement were wiped out or captured.

As for the devil's flying team, it will end with the weather.

In the end, it could only be retaliatory. Bombs were randomly dropped on the battlefield around the base of the independent regiment and bombed.

It doesn't even matter if it will blow up one's own people, anyway, those Japanese soldiers who were surrounded, in the eyes of the Devils Flying Squadron, could not escape death.

Just treat them as jade pieces and die for the country.

What's even more ridiculous is that there was almost a small group of Japanese troops, who stubbornly blocked it with the help of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountains.

As a result, it was bombed by the Devils Flying Squadron.

The entire team was directly disabled.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were besieging from the outside were also stunned, and took the opportunity to rush up to take the position in one fell swoop and wiped out all the devils.

Before he died, the injured leader of the devil squad pointed at the plane in mid-air and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Japanese flying team.

"The reinforcement task has been successfully completed, and all the hidden artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army have been blown up. You can go back and report to Your Excellency the General!"

The captain of the Devils Flying Squadron thought happily, and even imagined, after returning, His Excellency the General would present himself with a medal of honor.

As for the three planes shot down by the Independence Regiment.

In war, how can anyone not sacrifice?

Flying teams are no exception.

In another area, close to Zhongtiao Mountain, a new round of fighting officially broke out.

The two elite Japanese brigades of the 47th Division of the Japanese Army, which had originally advanced northward from Yuncheng, retreated south after suffering more than [-]% casualties.

Having received the communication from the detachment headquarters and the deployment order from Kong Jie, how could the soldiers of the mountain company who were waiting for battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area miss such a good opportunity?
Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng led the mountain to advance from the mountainous area, and set up an ambush in advance on the only way the Japanese army must pass to retreat southward.

In Han Feng's words, "Comrades, here is your chance to beat the dog in the water!"

"Our detachment headquarters fought a big victory, we can't make people laugh, can we?"

"If you can't beat the main force of the devils, take advantage of the fire to loot, wait for work, and ambush some devils' remnants. We still have this strength."

When the battle broke out suddenly, the Japanese troops retreating south were caught off guard.

It is indeed sad enough to say that the two Japanese brigades of the 47th regiment.

Originally advancing northward, they planned to join forces with the Japanese and puppet troops advancing from the southwest to wipe out the main force of the Independence Regiment.

As a result, under the cliff on the south side of Taihang, it was violently bombarded by the hidden artillery units of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the counterattack of Huang Lianchang and his party.

These two Japanese brigades suffered nearly [-]% casualties.

Although it would not be defeated, those who fled all the way were quite embarrassed.

The multiple infantry artillery and heavy weapons originally belonging to the brigade were too late to take away, so they had to be destroyed on the spot.

In addition, all the way south, long-distance raids, exhausted.

When they stepped into the ambush circle set up by Han Feng and his party's mountain company.

At this time, although there were more than [-] Japanese soldiers left, they were already exhausted, and all their heavy weapons were lost.

The devils who fled all the way, whose will to fight was greatly weakened, had a very low vigilance awareness, and they didn't even have a leading security force.

Once the battle started, the soldiers of the mountain company, who were waiting for work and ready to go, exposed their powerful firepower, and the battle directly showed a one-sided trend.

Fortunately, the 47th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yuncheng is also the elite Japanese Army of the Type B Division.

After being ambushed suddenly and paying a certain amount of casualties, the little devils who quickly came to their senses retreated while fighting, relying on the terrain to confront the mountain company.

It was getting late now.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Han Feng did not order to chase too closely, but used [-] small artillery and [-] mortars to suppress the little devil who did not have heavy weapons or artillery in his hands at this time.

"I feel a little pity for the little devils now. How would they know that even though they got here, they still haven't escaped from our regiment leader's arrangement!"

Han Feng smiled and said, he knew Kong Jie's plan.

At this time, the troops heading south should soon approach the back of the Japanese army in front of them.

At that time, the two sides will attack from both sides, and it will not be a problem to eliminate this devil.

Han Feng still had no news about who was leading the team going south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, so he was looking forward to it.

"The surrounding vigilance spread out in advance, and beware of the devil's reinforcements."

Around eight o'clock.

The sound of battle suddenly sounded from the back of the Japanese troops who were firmly defending.

Han Feng and the others laughed brighter and brighter, and the reinforcements from the south arrived.

The troops of the two sides acted in tacit understanding, attacking back and forth.

At around [-] o'clock in the battle, the exhausted Japanese army was defeated, and more than [-] people broke out by force.

The rest of the Japanese army was wiped out in the valley.

After Han Feng led the mountain company to meet up with the troops going south, he learned that it was a team from the Fourth Independent Regiment.

After the two sides met, Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng met Wang Huaibao, the head of the first independent fourth regiment.

"Third Battalion Commander!" Han Feng saluted and yelled. Then he realized that he was used to shouting, and quickly changed his words: "Fourth Regiment Commander!"

Seeing that the mountain company team behind the three of Han Feng had begun to show its scale, Wang Huaibao nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile:
"It's just a title, you can call it whatever you want. Now that we have met the old regiment leader, why don't we still call him the regiment leader?"

"By the way, Deputy Company Commander Han, this time according to the deployment of the regiment commander, our Independent Fourth Regiment will reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain to fight and open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base."

"In addition, the head of the regiment asked me to tell you that he has not forgotten what he promised you. After the fourth regiment arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain, the team of your mountain company will be merged into the fourth regiment, and you will be the commander of the fourth battalion."

"Yes, Captain!"

Han Feng straightened his chest and saluted Wang Huaibao again, and the change of address came naturally.

I feel a little ashamed in my heart, my mountain company has only grown to more than 600 people.

But the head of the regiment said that only by developing a regiment can he become the battalion commander.

Wang Huaibao smiled, looked at Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng again, and said, "The detachment headquarters has also made arrangements for the transfer of the two of you. According to our leader's intention, you two will also be merged into our fourth regiment."

"Captain Wang...our..."

Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng opened their mouths, feeling a bit embarrassed, one of them was from the New First Regiment, the other was from the New Second Regiment.

How did this become an independent team in a blink of an eye?

Wang Huaibao smiled and said, "Why, you don't want to?"

"Old Zhang, Lao Du, when I came here, I mentioned the two of you to the head of the regiment. The head of the regiment said that the two of you have been fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain with the mountain for a long time."

"We have won many battles and have rich experience in mountain combat, so our regiment leader specially applied to the superior to incorporate the two of you into our fourth regiment as deputy battalion commander."

"As for your former troops, don't worry, you still don't know the relationship between our regiment leader and your regiment leaders Li and Ding?"

"It's just a matter of one sentence, there is no problem."

"This is also the original words of our head. As for the heads of Ding and Li, he will say hello."

When Wang Huaibao said this, Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng had nothing to say, let alone being promoted to deputy battalion commander.

The two responded: "Leader, we obey the orders of our superiors!"

"Okay, everyone, then let us work together. From now on, the important task of opening up the anti-Japanese revolutionary base in the Zhongtiao Mountain area will all fall on us!"

Wang Huaibao gave a few words of encouragement.

At the bottom of his heart, he was thinking about the matter of accepting Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng, the two mountain companies, and told the old regiment leader later.

If he didn't turn around and head Li and Ding came to scold their mothers, he really couldn't stand it...
