The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 646

The night fell completely, and the night replaced the day.

The battle around the base area of ​​the Independence Regiment had long since ended, and it fell into a dead night, quietly, as if nothing had happened during the day.

The soldiers of the first detachment who had experienced the great war ate a hearty extra meal specially given by Kong Jie at night.

Then fell asleep happily.

For the Japanese army, it was a sleepless night tonight.

The operation to prevent Kong Jie's first detachment from going south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain has completely failed.

The Japanese army ended in a disastrous defeat.

The Japanese and puppet troops advancing southwest only fled back more than a thousand elite Japanese troops.

Originally including the troops of the 47th Division retreating from the south, the casualties were slightly acceptable.

As a result, not long ago, the Japanese Army Command received another message.

The troops of the 47th Division, which had originally retreated southward, were raided by troops from the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area on the way.

It was flanked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army going south, and almost the whole army was wiped out.

"asshole!"

Commander Shinozuka Yoshio, who was so angry that he couldn't sleep, cursed at the headquarters.

The failure of the battle to prevent the first detachment from going south completely broke Shinozuka Yoshio's overall deployment.

Looking at the helpless night.

Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well that he had completely lost control of the First Anti-Japanese Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

How many troops Kong Jie will send to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese army can't be sure.

In addition, the three main combat regiments of the Eighth Route Army that had already shown their heads in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

This means that the 47th and 41st divisions stationed in Yuncheng and Linfen in southern Shanxi will no longer have the opportunity to deploy troops from the Zhongtiao Mountain area to reinforce Taiyuan City to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area.

Yoshio Shinozuka was even a little worried.

Only two divisions are placed in southern Shanxi, can they maintain law and order and withstand the attacks of the Eighth Route Army troops.

Instead, the flight team brought back the only result.

According to the two squadron leaders who personally participated in the command, the flight team successfully blew up the hidden artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army in this operation.

In this regard, the ghosts of the flying team are convinced.

In the area south of Taihang, several flying squads also had confrontations with Wang Chengzhu's artillery unit.

Both sides suffered casualties, the flight team paid the price of three planes, and in the eyes of the flight team, the Eighth Route Army paid for the entire artillery position.

The artillery unit of the independent regiment was destroyed, which made Yoshio Shinozuka a little relieved.

Due to the disastrous defeat of this battle, Shinozuka Yoshio has no time to reward the flight team now, he just said a few verbal words of praise on the phone, and then let the flight team take a good rest at the airport.

Replenish fuel and ammunition to the aircraft in time.

When the headquarters looked at the combat sand table and fell into contemplation.

Yoshio Shinozuka's mind was still haunted by the artillery unit of the Independence Regiment.

This artillery unit of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly appeared near the cliffs south of Taihang, completely reversed the situation on the battlefield.

This was something Shinozuka Yoshio never thought of.

More shock and surprise.

According to news from the front line, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops suddenly fired artillery, and the direct firepower covered the two-line positions where the thousands of Japanese and puppet troops were located.

In less than 3 minutes, nearly two hundred shells were fired.

Estimated at this speed, the Eighth Route Army Artillery Unit has at least a dozen larger-caliber artillery in its hands.

This analysis, at that time, bluffed all the devils and officers.

Where is this still the Eighth Route Army with scarce ammunition and outdated equipment in the impression of the devil officers?
Such powerful firepower can even crush the Central Army and the Imperial Army to a certain extent.

Looking at the night between pitch black and bright as day.

Yoshio Shinozuka knew that tonight would be very difficult, and tomorrow would be even more painful.

Once the empire was defeated this time, news spread that the artillery battalion of the Eighth Route Army would show its power and the troops would go south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

I'm afraid it will cause a tsunami-like shock throughout North China!
At that time, the Japanese army was in turmoil.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi, would even lose his face.

At the subsequent military meeting held overnight, Shinozuka Yoshio and a group of Japanese army staff focused on analyzing how to deal with the issue of the Eighth Route Army's first anti-Japanese detachment in the future.

As for the current problem of the first detachment continuing to go south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

After discussion, the Japanese officers finally put their hope on the flying team.

Blocking on the ground is no longer realistic.

The current failure has already hurt the empire, and it will no longer be able to launch a large-scale attack on the independent regiment in the short term.

The only thing Shinozuka Yoshio could do was to order the 47th Division and the 41st Division to be under martial law, and beware of the Eighth Route Army troops going south to Zhongtiao Mountain at any time.

In addition, with the help of the flying team that is taking a good rest at the airport, after dawn, continue to fight towards the base area of ​​the independent regiment.

Reconnaissance, and blocking the Eighth Route Army troops going south.

Yoshio Shinozuka must at least figure out how many teams Kong Jie sent south.

No sleep for one night.

It was around three o'clock in the evening.

The unpredictable Yoshio Shinozuka sat up from the bed, always feeling that the anxiety in his heart prevented him from falling asleep.

He was secretly comforting that nothing worse would happen again.

The headquarters phone rang suddenly.

Yoshio Shinozuka was on the battlefield with all his heart, and his bedroom was very close to the headquarters. Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't sit still when he heard the phone call, and hurriedly got up from the side of the bed.

The telephone soldiers then arrived and reported the situation:
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, Tan County Headquarters has received news that Mingbao Airport was attacked by the enemy, and the airport was blown up. The fuel stored and the dozens of planes parked are all..."

Before he could finish speaking, the communications soldier had already seen the gloomy expression on Commander Yoshio Shinozuka's face through the dim light.

The old devil staggered back a few steps, hit the edge of the bed with his calf, and sat down on the bed, dazzled for a long time, but unable to regain consciousness.

How ironic and powerless!
Originally, I thought about using the plane to bully the independent group!
As a result, the damned Kong Jie acted first, and even blew up the airport one step ahead of time.

The next day.

Before dawn, the explosive news spread in all directions like a tide:

Devil Mingbao airport was blown up!
The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army dispatched artillery units to defeat more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops in one fell swoop!
The Eighth Route Army went south to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain. More than [-] Japanese and puppet troops suffered a disastrous defeat in the blocking battle, and almost the entire army was wiped out!
... so many victories stacked together.

It is even a huge victory no less than a frontal battlefield.

Like a storm, it quickly swept in all directions.

The first independent detachment of the Northwest Shanxi Anti-Japanese War was formed by the expansion of the original independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

into the field of vision of all parties.

The Japanese soldiers could not sleep all night.

The puppet troops from all sides were terrified, and immediately included the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or the first anti-Japanese detachment in Northwest Shanxi, into the list that must not be messed with.

Miki Ichiro, Qian Dekai and other Japanese and puppet troops who had private contacts and cooperation with the Independence Regiment secretly thanked themselves for their foresight.

The various departments of the Jinsui Army digested this shocking and inexplicable news in silence.

Among them, Yang Chongshan, head of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, couldn't help swallowing his saliva and exclaimed after hearing the news:
"Hey, Shoucai, this Captain Kong is getting more and more fierce, this is beating up the little devil like a grandson!"

Qian Shoucai rolled his eyes, and suggested: "Tuan Zuo, among the Jinsui Army, our 57th Regiment is the closest to the Independent Regiment, and has the best relationship with Commander Kong."

"That's right, that's what happened. When the devils were mopping up, we sent charcoal in the snow and sent equipment to the independent regiment! The last time I went to the Eighth Route Army base to exchange and study, Captain Kong's attitude towards me was different from others. .”

When he said these words, Yang Zhongshan even had a proud look on his face.

That was the commander of the first anti-Japanese detachment of the Eighth Route Army, the fierce man who beat the little devil to cry for his father and mother!

Qian Shoucai said: "Tuan Zuo, the humble position means that the first team of Commander Kong is now well-known. Do you think we should follow suit?"

Yang Chongshan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "What do you mean?"

Qian Shoucai said: "Tuan Zuo, think about it! Since the Eighth Route Army Hundred Regiment War, the devils have gradually focused on encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army."

"After the loss of the Zhongtiao Mountain position, what the little devil is most afraid of is that our Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army will fight together."

"So, the devils have always turned a blind eye to our Jinsui Army. Not long ago, Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment took the opportunity to lay down two important towns. Didn't the devils dare to fart?"

"He, Chu Yunfei, even got an award for it. He has such a great reputation!"

"But our 57th regiment is not bad now. The size of the regiment is not much smaller than Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment, and the level of equipment has also caught up, not to mention the economic development."

"It's the achievement of almost resisting the Japanese. You said that if we drink some soup with Commander Kong, beat some devils, and regain some lost ground, the devils will turn a blind eye to us. We will take the opportunity to gain fame and fight with us." Commander Kong has the friendship of joint operations."

"Tuan Zuo, isn't this a good thing that serves multiple purposes?"

"Maybe you will be promoted soon."

Yang Chongshan was startled, and then said happily: "Grandma, Shoucai, you are worthy of being my military advisor, I think this is a good idea!"

Just when Yang Zhongshan and Qian Shoucai were planning how to fight with the independent regiment.

Some central armies south of the Yellow River heard the news that the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army had defeated the Japanese and puppet troops. While admiring, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

Sure enough, there is no difference without comparison.

The national army originally wanted to minimize the spread of this explosive news.

Who would have thought that as soon as this news spread to the Kuomintang-controlled area, it would immediately arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

The news spread ten or a hundred times faster than the plague.

Within half a day, the people in the entire Kuomintang-controlled area learned that the Eighth Route Army had won a big victory in the enemy's rear.

A big victory no less than a head-on battle.

At least the number of Japanese and puppet troops wiped out by the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army has far exceeded the Japanese army's losses in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan.

Then use the troops invested by both sides as a comparison.

The Central Army, who were already ashamed, became more and more mixed.

At this stage, the eyes of the masses are helpless even if they don't want to be sharp.

To ridicule the Eighth Route Army for swimming but not to fight, to avoid wars and fight timidly, and to pour dirty water on the Eighth Route Army, isn't this self-inflicted humiliation?
The national army had a thick skin and instead helped publicize the victory of the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army.

He has repeatedly stated in reports that the Eighth Route Army belongs to the National Revolutionary Army.

This is a great victory for our Chinese army to celebrate!

Headquarters.

Since the Hundred Regiments War, the situation facing the Taihang and Taiyue base areas has become increasingly severe.

The conductor, who hadn't shown a smile for several days, slapped the table and applauded loudly.

"What a Kong Jie!"

"The first team was handed over to him, and I really didn't see the wrong person."

"Yesterday's independent team was frightening, but today's first team is three points better than the previous independent team. This battle, I think, can at least establish the stability of our foundation for half a year."

"Comrade Kong Jie has contributed a lot!"

Brigade.

The brigade commander was different from others, Kong Jie was his old subordinate, so it was enough to applaud Kong Jie and keep it in his heart.

The words came to my lips... "How much? In less than 3 minutes, nearly [-] shells were fired?"

"Good boy, this is rich!"

"The artillery of our brigade does not dare to shoot like this."

"I will have to ask Comrade Kong Jie for advice later on."
