The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 758 The Courageous and the Cowardly

The two old devils continued to plot.

With a sudden change of mind, Bei Chuan suddenly made another suggestion:
"General, judging from the sudden ambush launched by the independent regiment this time, the Eighth Route Army may have been eyeing our army's transportation route for a long time."

"The Eight Routes in the Taihang Taiyue area are far more than just this independent group."

"From this, I speculate that this independent regiment's ambush on several transportation lines leading to Yangquan by our army may be just the beginning."

"Just like in the second half of last year, Eight Routes launched a large-scale attack on the so-called Zhengtai Railway."

"At the beginning of the battle, none of us expected that the final battle situation would evolve to an inestimable scale."

Shinozuka Yoshio said thoughtfully: "You're right, this matter has to be guarded against, maybe apart from the Independent Regiment, other regiments of the Eighth Route Army also participated in this ambush plan. Every transport route is at risk of being ambushed."

Bei Chuan said: "Why don't we treat him in the same way as others, and do our best once in a while. If we can hit the main force of the Eighth Route Army in an ambush in one fell swoop, we will definitely deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area."

"In this way, the morale of our army is high, which is also of great benefit to the follow-up planned sweep."

Yoshio Shinozuka, who seemed to have the upper hand in a chess game, had a smile on his face.

"Yaoxi, this plan is very good, Mr. Beichuan, you and I will make a good plan for this plan."

"Hi!"

……

……

Just when the two old devils conspired.

the other side.

For the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.

Attacking artillery towers, attacking strongholds, and ambushing the military grain trains transported by the Japanese army, the entire battlefield presents multiple divisional operations at dusk.

Kong Jie, Xu Guoan, and Li Wenjie, who are closely watching the battle situation, are at the headquarters of a team. With the help of the incandescent lamps in the house powered by the power generation system of a team, they are deducing changes in the battle situation on the simulated military sand table.

"Originally our plan was to focus on the north, west, and east directions of Yangquan. We thought we could intercept at least one transportation line, or one or two transportation lines."

"It's just that this little devil also gave us a big surprise. Three transportation lines were launched at the same time. Now it's cheaper for us!"

When analyzing the battle situation simulated on the sand table, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said with a smile.

Kong Jie could roughly guess the little devil's psychology.

"The little devil is too confident in the protection of the railway along their route."

"In addition, instead of transporting three times, each time there is a risk of information leakage, it is better to transport all the military rations needed in the Yangquan area at once. If I were a little devil, I might do the same."

What Xu Guoan is worried about now is another thing:
"Only in this way, we have to fight in three directions at the same time this time. Coupled with the large amount of food transported by the three transport lines, it will be much more difficult for our transport troops to transfer."

"It is estimated that it will take a lot longer than we planned."

"One hour, still according to the original plan, there is only one hour for everyone!" Kong Jie said firmly.

"The disaster is serious right now, we need food, but I can't let our soldiers and civilians lose their lives for food."

"One hour is the most safe time we have determined based on various deduction and analysis. After this time, how the subsequent situation will change, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to control."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered: "Communication soldier."

"Here, Captain!"

"Immediately notify the forward headquarters of the food robbery movement. This is an absolute order issued by the detachment headquarters."

"From the start of the ambush to the end of the food transportation, it must be strictly controlled within one hour. Once the hour is up, I don't care what the progress of the troops is. Everyone must evacuate immediately and disperse and hide."

"As for the food that can't be taken away, then burn it for me, and the supplies that can't be taken away, then destroy it for me."

"If you are worried about food, then improve efficiency."

"In a word, hesitation and delay must not lead to a worsening of the war situation."

"Yes!" The communications soldier responded and turned around to convey the order.

Kong Jie thought for a while, then looked at Li Wenjie, the political commissar beside him:
"Wen Jie, this time ambushing the devil's transport train, plus attacking the stronghold and removing obstacles."

"It doesn't seem to be a large-scale battle, but this battle will affect the whole body. If you are not careful, it will expand to a situation that is out of control."

"You have always been responsible for the intelligence work of our detachment. This time, we will mobilize all the intelligence departments to maximize our ability to obtain intelligence. We must ensure that the entire Yangquan is within a hundred miles. If there is any trouble, we can be the first Receive the news in time, and adjust the combat deployment in time."

"Hey! Captain, don't worry, I'll arrange it right away!" Li Wenjie replied.

After giving these two orders, Kong Jie's eyes continued to stay on the sand table.

Today, Kong Jie has fully understood a truth that political commissar Zhao Gang said back then:
The commander should stay in the command post.

Although he also wanted to be like the battalion and company commanders, rushing to the forefront and beating him heartily.

But right now, for the sake of the overall battle situation and the final victory, Kong Jie knew that what he had to do was to stay at the headquarters honestly and mobilize and coordinate the troops at any time.

Of course, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

Just staying in the command headquarters of tens of square meters can stir up the vicissitudes of the entire battle situation, which is nothing less than a different kind of "magnificence".

"By the way, Old Xu, what is the current situation of our other troops?"

"Is there any movement from Lao Li and Lao Ding?"

Xu Guoan replied: "I haven't heard of any movement yet."

He suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly: "Old Kong, the communication system of the little devil is well developed, and the three transportation lines that this devil transported to Yangquan were all intercepted by our team. Such a thing happened suddenly. After the news spread , the devil’s transportation lines in other directions will definitely adjust and deploy quickly.”

"Once the devils have extra precautions when transporting in other directions."

"Old Ding, Lao Li's side, and our other troops, if they act rashly, I'm worried that something will happen."

Kong Jie pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"This matter has to be guarded against, and immediately report the situation to the brigade headquarters."

"it is good!"

Xu Guoan responded without daring to delay, and immediately reported the worries of his group to the brigade headquarters.

Brigade.

When Xu Guoan reported the news, the brigade commander and his party were also analyzing the current theater in front of the combat map.

After listening to Xu Guoan's report, the political commissar put down the phone and couldn't help laughing: "Brigade Commander, it seems that Kong Jie and the others are worried about us."

"This time the ambush operation to rob food was first launched in the defense area of ​​the independent regiment."

"The devil suddenly encountered an ambush, and most of the follow-up will be on guard."

"Maybe, once Kong Jie's ambush starts, the plans of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and other regiments will come to naught."

The brigade commander said: "This is very possible. Speaking of which, I agree more and more with what Kong Jie said."

"Brigadier, what do you say?"

"Suppress the bold and starve the timid. For all front-line combat troops, the more you make a fuss, the more ruthless you are, the more the devils miss you, and the more opportunities you have to make a fortune."

What does that mean?

The brigade commander continued to explain: "It's like this plan to ambush the Japanese army's ration transportation line."

"Kong Jie has a big appetite and a good idea. He intercepted all the military rations transported by the Japanese army to Shanxi by as many as a dozen railway lines at one time, so that the devils couldn't even see a single ration."

"But the actual situation is that this transaction has basically deviated from the route since the ambush started by the independent regiment."

"Kong Jie is a smart kid. It doesn't matter whether other troops can eat this piece of fat, but his independent regiment is the first to eat it."...
