Chapter 44 044 Kong Jie: Accounts Cannot Be Calculated That Way (4.2K)

Two days later.

The headquarters of the 28th regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Kong Jie was chatting with Ding Wei in full swing.

Kong Jie held a dry bong in his mouth, and after several puffs in a row, he said:
"I'm talking about Lao Ding. After thinking about it, I think it's a bit difficult to eat this devil with the strength of our two regiments alone."

"I think so, let's bring in Li Yunlong as well. With the addition of a new group, we will be more confident."

"I know Li Yunlong too well. He must be willing to participate in this matter."

"I have to admit that he has two skills in war, and his joining may have unexpected effects."

Ding Wei was quite surprised, put down his teacup and asked Kong Jie:
"Old Kong, don't you know? Li Yunlong has been dismissed long ago."

Kong Jie has already seen the strange thing: "Removal? This is not unusual at all."

"This guy has as many punishments as he has received, but what mistake did this kid make this time?"

Speaking of this, Ding Wei couldn't help laughing:
"I heard that he killed prisoners on the battlefield, and was assigned by the brigade commander to be the director of a quilt factory, where he embroidered on a sewing machine."

Kong Jie couldn't help laughing too, feeling a little gloating.

"Hahahahaha, that's really interesting, does Li Yunlong still have this skill?"

"I have to go see him when I have time later!"

After all, they are good friends for so many years.

After laughing, Ding Wei got down to business:
"The acting head of the new regiment is political commissar Zhao Gang. I heard that he is a scholar, but I have never met him before."

"The communication and coordination may not be so smooth, so, this matter can only be handled by our two families."

"Old Kong, the battle plan has been drawn up, and the action has been approved by the superior."

"Shouldn't our next step be to study how to distribute the captured spoils?"

Kong Jie turned the bong upside down and knocked it on the table a few times to clean out the soot:
"What else is there to study? It must be a fifty-fifty split."

Ding Wei immediately resigned: "Old Kong, that's not how the account is calculated."

"How many people are there in your independent regiment, number 28, and my 400th regiment? There are more than [-] people, almost twice as many as yours!"

"In terms of numbers, there are two battalions more than yours, with [-] people. Besides, there is a lot of difference between our two regiments in terms of weapons and equipment."

"For this battle, I also specially borrowed a [-] infantry artillery."

"Just for this gun, I put in fifty [-] rifles. The cost is here, so it must be a little more."

Kong Jie waved his hands again and again, expressing that he would not take this set:
"Hey, Lao Ding, if you want to say that, then I have to settle the score with you."

"The information about Songta Town was provided by our independent group, so should it be counted?"

Ding Wei nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, I originally planned to open it on March [-]th, so the head office will go on April [-]th, right?"

Kong Jie was very stubborn and insisted:
"No, you have to score five or five, or I will quit!"

Just when the two of them were pulling back and forth to the limit and bargaining.

The officer reported that Chu Yunfei, head of the [-]th regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Fang Ligong, chief of staff, came to visit.

"What is he here for? Didn't he want to get a share of the action after finding out the news?" Kong Jie was very sensitive.

Ding Wei also frowned. Although he was a friendly army, he didn't have much contact with him at ordinary times. He must have something to do when he visited suddenly.

Just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

That can't be neglected anymore, Ding Wei called the secretary to take the person to the living room, and prepared to meet immediately.

Kong Jie couldn't hide here, or if word spread, people would laugh at the Eighth Route Army's lack of etiquette, and they would follow.

Chu Yunfei was straightforward. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he directly explained the purpose of his trip:

"It just so happens that Commander Kong is also there, so Chu won't hide it."

"The purpose of the sudden visit is to hear that your Ministry will attack the Japanese Yokota Brigade stationed in Songta Town in the near future."

"So I want to come and observe it. Chu has already applied to the World War II District Commander's Department and obtained the approval of your army headquarters. Oh, you can check with your headquarters."

Ding Wei smiled and waved his hands again and again:

"That's not necessary, Captain Chu's character is well-known, there is nothing to doubt."

"It's just that I'm very curious. How did Commander Chu know that we will launch a military operation in the near future? The news is really well-informed."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie focused on Chu Yunfei's sources.

You know, before the battle officially started, this was top-secret military intelligence, an absolute military secret.

Otherwise, once the news leaked out, the devils would have made preparations in advance.

Not only would they not be able to defeat the Yokota Squadron, but they might have to pay a heavy price in casualties.

Chu Yunfei explained with a smile:
"They are all under the order of the Commander's Headquarters of the World War II area, and the Eighteenth Army is no exception. Your army has made big moves recently, and the Commander's Department is of course aware of it."

"Chu is not talented, and he also served as a staff officer in the staff department of the headquarters. Only then did he learn that the two regimental leaders want to take action."

"While I admire it very much, I want to come and observe and learn. Although your army is a bit poor in objective conditions, its combat effectiveness is not compromised at all."

"So Chu and Chief of Staff Fang of our regiment want to be this student. I wonder if Captain Ding and Captain Kong welcome it?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also knew that Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong came to observe and study on the one hand, and wanted to touch the situation of their two regiments by the way.

But Chu Yunfei got to this point, and greeted his superiors again.

Although there was no notice from the headquarters, Ding Wei knew that based on his understanding of Chu Yunfei, this person would not be able to cheat in this regard.

"Welcome, of course you are welcome. I heard that Commander Chu graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy. He is a talented student. I will invite you to guide me well when the time comes." Ding Wei said.

Chu Yunfei smiled modestly: "It's an exaggeration, Chu doesn't have the courage and courage of the two team leaders."

"Actually, I'm curious. Your army has always used guerrilla tactics as its main style of play. They retreat when they take advantage of it. They seldom organize strong attacks from the front."

"But why did you do the opposite this time? And the opponent you chose was actually the so-called elite Yokota Brigade in the Japanese army."

Before Ding Wei could make an explanation, Fang Ligong took over the conversation:

"Yes, the Japanese brigade usually has three or four infantry squadrons, plus machine gun squadrons, artillery squadrons, transport squadrons, and the brigade headquarters."

"The number of a brigade is around 100 to [-] people, and the number of troops is equivalent to an integrated regiment of your army."

"The Japanese infantry brigade is generally equipped with two 27 infantry guns, twelve heavy machine guns, 36 to 27 light machine guns, and 36 to [-] grenadiers."

"Although the number of infantry brigades of the Japanese army is comparable to that of a standard regiment of your army, the number of light and heavy machine guns and grenades far exceeds that by several times."

"Considering various factors such as weapon performance, ammunition supply, and soldier quality, it is almost impossible for even two infantry regiments to wipe out a Japanese infantry brigade in the plains."

The more Fang Ligong talked, the more excited he became. After all, the analysis of the situation between the enemy and the enemy is his professional specialty as the chief of staff.

continued:
"What's more, the Yokota Battalion is not an ordinary army. The captain Shinichi Yokota's command ability is very strong."

"During the Battle of Xinkou, this brigade belonging to the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army literally smashed through the defense lines deployed by the three main regiments of the Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the commander died heroically for the country."

"As far as I know, although the Hengtian Brigade lost half of its troops in the Battle of Xinkou, it quickly replenished its troops. Although it is not yet full, its combat effectiveness is still very strong."

"Although Commander Ding's 28th Regiment is the main force and has strong troops, there is still a gap in comprehensive elements such as weaponry and firepower compared with the Yokota Brigade."

"The strength of Captain Kong's independent group is also relatively weak. Adding the two together, the odds of winning don't seem to be very great."

What Fang Ligong said inside and outside the words was that he was very pessimistic about this battle, thinking that the Eighth Route Army had no possibility of winning at all.

Although the words are still reserved, the meaning is obvious, and I can't look down on Balu.

When Fang Ligong was talking at length, Kong Jie was already very upset.

Out of politeness, he didn't intend to.

But after finishing speaking, he was impolite, and directly replied:

"Chief of Staff Fang, according to you, war is simply a comparison of the number of people and weapons and equipment between the enemy and us?"

"In this way, there are [-] million people in China under the chairman's rule, and only a few people in Little Japan."

"But the three eastern provinces are lost, and most of China is also lost. Who is responsible for this? Whose incompetence?"

"The disintegration of the six kingdoms is not due to soldiers. If the war is not good, the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin. Bribing Qin and losing strength is the way to ruin!"

Fang Ligong adjusted the frame of the mirror in embarrassment. Having been to school, he naturally knew what The Six Kingdoms was talking about, so he really couldn't answer Kong Jie's words.

Kong Jie felt that he hadn’t had fun yet, and was not happy enough, so he continued:
"That's right, from the simple desktop deduction, our

It does not have any advantages, and is even at a disadvantage. "

"But at least we dare to fight the little devils, dare to go head-to-head."

"If it's because the enemy is strong and I'm weak, and you just keep avoiding the battle, then you don't have to fight today, and the team just disbands."

Fang Ligong was stunned speechless, and Kong Jie had nothing wrong with what he said.

Although the objective and realistic conditions are there, Fang Ligong really admires the Eighth Route Army's spirit of daring to attack even though it knows it is invincible.

However, this does not mean that he thinks that the Eighth Route Army can take down the Hengtian Brigade. These are completely different concepts.

When Kong Jie and Fang Ligong were arguing, the Hengtian Brigade stationed in Songta Town, Shouyang County, JZ City also got information.

"Captain, this is the information just sent by the Intelligence Department of the First Army, please take a look."

"Any more news?" Shinichi Yokota took the folder casually.

Judging from the way he dresses, Yokota is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life.

The spotless uniforms were ironed without a single wrinkle.

The military boots were polished so shiny that they could reflect the shadows of people.

The star above the two yellow bars is also waxed, which is particularly eye-catching under the light.

Captain Major.

Already stepped into the sequence of mid-level officers.

Under the badge of qualifications, there are a lot of medals hanging.

All of them show that he has achieved brilliant results more than once before, and has made great military exploits.

After glancing at the document, Yokota threw it aside.

Seeing that the chief didn't care, the adjutant couldn't help reminding:

"Major, this is what the Telecommunications Office of the Military Department has monitored. Recently, we have mentioned our Yokota Brigade many times in the radio stations of the Chinese Army's WWII area monitored."

"Furthermore, according to the news from our spies inside the enemy, the Chinese army does have the intention of taking military action against us."

"Should we strengthen the security of the station according to the reminder of the military department? Start high-level services?"

Yokota waved his hands arrogantly and shook his head:
"The guys from the intelligence department always like to catch wind and shadows, and if they catch a little wind and grass, they will magnify it infinitely."

"While some intelligence is indeed accurate, the vast majority is nothing more than exaggeration."

"These bureaucrats will do anything to gain political merit."

"We receive dozens of reports like this every year. If we increase the service level every time and cancel the vacation, the soldiers will only complain."

"The more times there are, the more tired the soldiers will be. Have you ever heard the story of the wolf coming? When the wolf really comes, the combat power will not be mobilized!"

The adjutant also expressed his opinion: "But sir, I think the authenticity of the information this time is very high. A lot of clues are gathered, and the Eighth Route Army really has the intention to fight against us."

Yokota waved his hands impatiently: "Okay! Alright!"

"I wish the Chinese army would come and attack us. Whether it's the Central Army, the Jinsui Army or the Eighth Route Army, they will stay here forever. I don't mind adding a strong stroke to my resume."

"Don't forget the honor of our Hengtian Brigade. The defense lines of the three regiments of the Chinese army were easily conquered by us."

"Now our station is surrounded by plains and open areas, with no shelter or obstacles, but are we afraid of our hands and feet?"

"If the Chinese army is coming, just come! I will cut off all their heads..."

Before Yokota could finish his threat, his brigade headquarters took a solid shell.

Just hearing a loud bang, the house collapsed.

This is just the beginning.

A few seconds later, more dense shells poured down from the sky.

Directly smashed at the machine gun positions, artillery positions, fortifications, logistics warehouses, vehicles and other parts of the Yokota Brigade.

In an instant, the garrison of the Yokota Battalion exploded in succession, and then blazed into flames.

The Japanese soldier who was sleeping in the barracks was buried alive before he could escape.

Military training is nowhere better.

The shells fell one after another, and there was nowhere to hide, and they were directly blown into the sky.

Immediately, there were many dead and wounded, and there were wailing everywhere.

Even though they were well-trained, the soldiers of the Yokota Battalion, who had created immortal achievements, were caught off guard.

Shinichi Yokota, who was not crushed to death, crawled out of the command post in a panic.

At this moment, he no longer had the previous arrogance, and he didn't care about his own image. Looking at the soldiers in chaos, he roared:

"What a mess! The squads are scattered in a battle formation! Look for the crater and hide on the spot!"

"Quickly repair the machine gun positions and artillery positions, and cross fire back!"
