Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
Kong Jie took a pencil and a wooden ruler and was making shallow sketches on the map that marked the terrain near the independent regiment's station and major towns and counties.
Xinzhuang is backed by the Independent Regiment and is at the outermost edge of the Independent Regiment's residence.
The distance is not too close. If the team of the Independent Regiment wants to get to Xinzhuang from the station, it will take at least half an hour for the company closest to Xinzhuang within the station.
Kong Jie secretly thought, no wonder this little devil is so rampant and dares to launch cavalry to attack Xinzhuang. With the speed of the devil's cavalry, it won't take long to lurk all the way.
In addition, it was a sudden attack. The Independent Regiment arranged a guard post near Xinzhuang, discovered the Japanese cavalry, and then passed the news to the Independent Regiment. It was too late to send troops to the Independent Regiment to assist.
It was enough for the little devil to go back and forth to Xinzhuang to massacre the village several times.
By the time the Independence Regiment arrived in a hurry, they probably wouldn't even be able to see the enemy's buttocks anymore. All that was left to the soldiers were the destroyed villages and the brutally murdered villagers.
This may be the most vicious plan in Yoshio Shinozuka's heart.
He just wanted to use this kind of animal-like and inhumane massacre to severely retaliate and humiliate the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of this, Kong Jie was also a little lucky. If he hadn't mastered the information in advance, the Japanese cavalry suddenly launched a surprise attack, which would have been a disaster for the people of Xinzhuang.
As for now, in Kong Jie's eyes, this cavalry is like meat on the chopping board, just for him to slaughter.
"The Japs cavalry launched a surprise attack, targeting ordinary villages like Xinzhuang. The great opponents are just some militiamen, so there is no need to go to war."
"In addition, the Japanese have traveled a long distance to attack. They are probably a light cavalry, and the possibility of carrying heavy weapons is very small."
"Then it will be much easier to deal with this Japanese cavalry."
Kong Jie thought for a moment, picked up a pencil and gradually sketched a line on the map, analyzed it for a moment, and said to himself with confidence: "From the Japs' county seat to where my independent regiment is stationed, there are many mountainous areas, and the Japs' cavalry No matter how powerful you are, you can't fly over the walls."
"In addition, when the Japs launch a cavalry raid, the speed must be guaranteed, so the Japs' cavalry can only choose some relatively gentle roads in these mountainous areas."
"Then this traveling curve is basically the only way they can choose to go straight to Xinzhuang."
"There is no need to consider other directions. The Japanese cavalry will not circle around our independent regiment's station and then go straight to Xinzhuang. Wouldn't that be exposed in advance?"
"The marching route of the Japanese cavalry has been deduced, so the next step is to choose the section of the ambush."
"To deal with the Japanese cavalry, we must first limit the mobility of the Japanese cavalry. We must strangle both ends immediately, leaving only the mountains and cliffs on both sides. Let me see how your Japanese horses can fly up."
"That's right here, Luomapo, less than two miles away from Xinzhuang. The Japanese would never have imagined that I would arrange an ambush at this place. It's a coincidence. The name is really vivid. It seems that even God said, This place should be the burial place of the Japanese cavalry."
After deciding on the plan and choosing the location for the ambush.
In the afternoon of the same day, Kong Jie notified First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu through a messenger, asking him to lead the First Company to gather at the regiment headquarters. In addition, he asked Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan to mobilize some elites from the Second Battalion to join the First Company. A reinforced company was formed.
Regarding battle, Li Yunlong is like an old cat who smells salted fish, and he is sure when he smells it.
Kong Jie had just assembled the team when Li Yunlong came over smelling the fishy smell, "Old Kong, is there any combat action?"
Political commissar Zhao Gang also appeared at the right time. He is now looking forward to doing side jobs. This is also likely to be the first battle he officially participates in when he comes to the independent regiment.
Kong Jie glanced at Li Yunlong, adjusted his collar, and said, "No."
"No? Then why did you suddenly gather the team together?"
"Pull me out to practice. Why? I have to report to your commander, Captain Li." Kong Jie asked.
Li Yunlong said happily: "Old Kong, are you still sulking about the cavalry company? I know what you are worried about. Aren't you just afraid that we, Old Li, will also participate in the battle? When the seizure is made, we will have to follow you. Let’s divide the spoils!”
"Don't worry, we, Lao Li, are not that kind of people. We talk about doing part-time work here with you. As long as you have a cavalry company, other people will not be jealous. Even if you capture ten infantry cannons, I will still do the same." You don’t even look at it.”
"Really?" Kong Jie expressed doubts.
Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "Nonsense, don't you know who we, Old Li, are?"
Kong Jie said: "It's just because I know your urinary properties that I express doubts!"
Li Yunlong: "..."
This makes it impossible to have a good conversation.
Zhao Gang asked expectantly, "Lao Kong, what's going on with our opponent this time? Is it safe to just lead a company there? Is it necessary to strengthen some weapons configuration? Where is the source of the intelligence? Is it reliable?"
Li Yunlong on the side was stunned.
what's going on?
A few days ago, I led a team to fight Wan Jiazheng, and Political Commissar Zhao almost cursed himself to death.
It had only been a few days, but when he arrived at Kong Jie's place, why was his attitude completely different?
He even helped the staff plan!
I don't want to be treated differently!
"No, Lao Zhao, what's going on with you? Kong Jie is going out to fight, and he hasn't reported the situation to his superiors yet. Shouldn't you jump out to stop him, then point at his nose and scold him for being unorganized and undisciplined? "?" Li Yunlong said angrily.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Li, you don't need to intercede for Lao Kong. I can actually understand some special actions in special times. Don't worry, I will report the process and results of this battle to the brigade headquarters afterwards, and explain the situation. "
"..."
Intercede, do you think I am interceding?
Li Yunlong, who was speechless and choked for a moment, suddenly looked at Zhao Gang more and more pleasing to his eyes.
Is this a tight spell sent by superiors? It was clearly a lubricant sent by superiors.
After the relationship, it became a matter of course for Kong Erluzi to have a side job, and Zhao Gang, the political commissar, was still helping to wipe his behind!
Kong Jie smiled and said: "The news from the enemy's Ministry of Industry is that the location is near Xinzhuang. It just so happens that we will go to Xinzhuang this time to see how the militia organizations there are developing now."
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan suddenly realized that he only saw Wang An from the enemy's engineering department going to the regiment headquarters in the afternoon. It seemed that he had gone to report military information to the regiment commander.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Wang An reported to Kong Jie that the puppet troops lurking in the enemy's Ministry of Industry noticed that the Japanese troops in the county were mobilizing, but they did not refer to the Japanese cavalry squadron.
In intelligence work, Wang An and Kong Jie always communicate directly. Kong Jie doesn't say much, and Wang An is also tight-lipped. No one asks more questions.
"There are not many Japanese troops. A reinforced company team is enough. In addition, let the bombardment team, commando team, and pistol team participate in the operation. The artillery platoon will not go this time."
"Yes!" the battalion commander responded.
Li Yunlong on the side suddenly became unhappy, "Old Kong, I told you that no matter what good things are captured in this battle, I don't want them at all. Is that okay? You have to let me contribute, right?"
Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "Then let Zhang Dabiao lead the sword team to participate in the battle! Mainly use pistols to fight, oh, by the way, remember to bring a few swords, they can come in handy. As for the fourth battalion, forget it , this battle is special and is not a good opportunity for new recruits to hone their skills."
Li Yunlong nodded.
Anyway, as long as he can participate in the war, he was so depressed at the clothing factory that he wouldn't want to miss it whenever he heard that there was a war.
Before setting off, Kong Jie gave another order to bring dozens of old guns that had been repaired by the general store (armoury shop).
This is a meeting gift prepared for the militia comrades in Xinzhuang.
With these guns in hand, the militiamen can have a certain ability to protect themselves. Even if the Eighth Route Army cannot provide immediate military support, they can also undertake a certain scale of battle...
