Around 4 p.m.
Kong Jie rushed to Xinzhuang with the reinforced company team.
Perhaps because he and Kong Jie wrote the "Militia Military Training Manual", Zhao Gang paid special attention to the development of the militia in Xinzhuang.
After meeting with the captains of several militia teams in Xinzhuang, Zhao Gang asked them about the daily military training of the militia comrades.
The result is naturally unsatisfactory.
There are nearly a hundred or ten people in the four militia brigades, but the total number of guns does not exceed twenty.
The four of them couldn't carry a single gun. That's all. Most of them were old guns that were almost on the verge of being eliminated. Some of them might not even be able to fire on the battlefield.
The captains were reluctant to use them during training, and militia members even used wooden guns for training.
As for the training items for the militiamen, they are all broken up with a hammer and a stick.
After all, it is a militia organization mainly engaged in farming and supplemented by training.
When Kong Jie brought out dozens of guns as a meeting gift to the militiamen, the eyes of several militia captains shone brightly and they thanked Kong Jie repeatedly.
In the original words of one of the militia captains, "Commander Kong, with these things, our equipment is almost catching up with the guerrillas, so we don't have to worry now."
After bidding farewell to several militia captains, Kong Jie said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, let's excerpt a part of the militia military manual we wrote, simplify it, and apply it to the situation in Xinzhuang. I will draw some more illustrations. Send them to Xinzhuang."
"By the way, arrange a few more literate cadres to help these militia captains to properly train the militiamen in Xinzhuang."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange this." Zhao Gang responded.
When Kong Jie led the team to leave Xinzhuang, the militia comrades looked at the various guns equipped by the reinforcement company soldiers and felt the majesty of the regular army soldiers. Their expressions were full of admiration and yearning.
Some bold children are even shouting, "Grandpa, when I grow up, I will also join the Eighth Route Army!"
The villagers were sent to the entrance of the village, and Kong Jie said loudly: "Folks, thank you all, go back! Come on, comrades of the militia, you are the frontline force to protect the villagers and the cornerstone of our Eighth Route Army. You can relax No! You have to do farm work, and don’t miss out on military training in your spare time. After a while, I will send cadres to deliver training manuals, and cadres will be responsible for special guidance. As long as you have sufficient training and the training is in place, The Independent Group welcomes you at any time!”
"good--"
replied the militiamen with cheers.
After leaving Xinzhuang, Kong Jie led the team all the way to Luomapo.
The terrain of Luoma Slope is unique, with high slopes on both sides, and a gentle mountain road about ten meters wide below. On weekdays, people mostly walk on it instead of cars, so this small mountain road is distributed in strips and is often used by people. Because the soil has been trampled hard, it is difficult for grass to grow, and it is bare. In places that are not often stepped on, there is grass that can reach the ankles.
"This is the place. According to the intelligence information, it is very likely that the Japanese will pass by here."
Li Yunlong said: "This Luomapo is not far from Xinzhuang. It is only less than two miles away. I just walked on foot and rushed there in a few minutes. What did the little devil do here? Is it a rush?" Going to Xinzhuang? But you said that there are not many Japs. With such a small number of Japs, they dare to cause trouble under our noses? Lao Kong, is your news reliable? "
Li Yunlong, who has a keen military sense, discovered the problem at a glance.
Kong Jie said happily: "Old Li, what if I say it's a cavalry?"
"Cavalry? Do you really think that the cavalry are just wild vegetables on the roadside, and you can step on several of them with one foot?" Li Yunlong was a little suspicious, but as he spoke, he suddenly realized a terrible problem.
"Damn it, Lao Kong, do you think this is really a cavalry?"
"Why did you suddenly figure it out again?" Kong Jie asked with a smile.
Li Yunlong said: "I thought about it carefully just now. There are not many Japanese, and they are coming towards Xinzhuang, so there is only one possibility - cavalry!"
"The Japs used the high-speed mobility of the cavalry to suddenly attack the villages in our base area. The Japs have done this kind of thing before."
"Faced with this situation, we often have a headache because we can't get accurate information and the Japanese cavalry is too fast. Even if the villagers discover the news of the Japanese cavalry in advance, they won't have time to pass it on."
"After the Japanese cavalry looted and massacred, they immediately retreated on horseback. By the time our troops arrived, the day lilies were already cold."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong said with emotion: "The Japanese horses of the Japanese are better than the war horses of the puppet army. Lao Kong, you are really lucky. You just captured a cavalry company earlier, and now the Japanese send more war horses." coming?"
Kong Jie warned: "Don't eat from the bowl and look at the pot."
"As you say, am I that kind of person?" Li Yunlong sighed and said: "Lao Kong, from the fourth battalion, to the cavalry company, to this deputy commander, I have been grateful to you. This time, if you I can also get a cavalry, which makes me feel better."
"There's nothing to say. As long as the Japanese cavalry dares to come here, they won't be able to go back."
Kong Jie smiled and said, "That's pretty much it. He's the old Li I know who has a clear distinction between grievances and grievances."
Ha ha ha ha--
"Lao Kong, please stop wearing such a high hat on me. Maybe I will regret it again!"
"There's no point regretting it. You're a part-time worker. How can I rebel against you?" Kong Jie glared.
When the ambush was being arranged, Li Yunlong asked, "When will the Japanese cavalry arrive?"
"uncertain."
"how many people?"
"A squadron or so."
"How's the equipment?"
Kong Jie raised his head and glanced at Li Yunlong, "Let me tell you, Lao Li, are you finished yet? Let me tell you, you are here to help in this battle, just wait and see."
Li Yunlong stopped talking. In fact, he was still a little suspicious. Is Kong Jie's information accurate? The Japanese would send out cavalry to attack Xinzhuang, but the intelligence information would be intercepted by this old Kong. Is it true?
If true, it seems that the enemy engineering department developed by this independent regiment really has two brushes, and the new second regiment will also be indispensable in the future.
"One battalion commander, one battalion commander?"
"arrive!"
Calling the battalion commander Wang Leihu, Kong Jie took the branches and drew some sketches in an open space, mainly circles with some distances between them, as well as simple diagrams of distribution, and then said: "This time, I will let everyone I brought an engineering shovel and a pickaxe, and according to the diagram I drew, dig some trap pits like this for me on the ground of the mountain road in Luomapo. The specific size, depth, and diameter of the trap circle are up to you. Thinking about it, there is only one request. If the enemy’s war horse comes, at least let me trap the enemy’s horse so that it can’t get up.”
"In addition, after the Japanese encounter a horse trap, they may take the low slopes on both sides and plant some mines on the low slopes."
"Yes!" Wang Leihu responded. This trap was very simple to make, and he immediately understood what Kong Jie meant.
Kong Jie explained to Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong: "This Japanese cavalry is attacking. They are mostly light cavalry. To eliminate such a light cavalry, the unique terrain of Luo Ma Slope is undoubtedly the best place."
"As long as the cavalry's path is blocked, I can eat this cavalry as much as I want."
"Actually, it's not difficult to kill the Japanese cavalry. What's difficult is how to separate the Japanese cavalry from the war horses."
"These war horses have to live. I can't even bear to let these war horses under the devil's crotch be injured."
Zhao Gang said clearly: "I understand, so Lao Kong, you asked the soldiers to dig these circular traps deliberately, just to pose a threat to the Japs' horses and force the Japs to dismount and move forward."
"But what if the Japanese cavalry encountered a trap and realized there might be an ambush, so they turned around and ran away with their troops?" Li Yunlong asked.
Zhao Gang nodded, this was indeed an uncontrollable situation.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's easy to solve. This Japanese cavalry is heading for Xinzhuang. It's not the Japanese character to retreat easily. Of course, we have to further lure them."
"After we dig the trap pit here, I will ask the militia comrades in Xinzhuang to help. What we need to do is very simple. After the Japanese cavalry falls into the trap pit, we only need to show our heads around and hold the bows and arrows in our hands. With backward weapons such as hoe, blunderbuss, etc., it is enough to randomly place two arrows, fire a few shots, and then flee back to Xinzhuang in a hurry."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Well, you old Kong, I understand. You deliberately gave the little devils a flaw. You first used a horse trap to stop their horses, and then used the militia to lure the enemy, so that the little devils felt that they were opponents. It’s very weak, just a team organized voluntarily by some villagers in the village.”
"In addition, the Japs lost their war horses and some men, and they must be angry. If I were the Japs, I would put the war horses behind temporarily, and first lead the soldiers to Xinzhuang through the gaps in the horse pits, and kill those militiamen. clean."
"In this way, the enemy's horses will be completely separated from the soldiers, and there will be no need to worry so much during a fire ambush."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Old Zhao, did you see it? My method works so well that even a cunning little devil like Li Yunlong was fooled."
"Of course, no one can guarantee the situation that has not happened. If the Japanese are trapped in a horse trap and see the militiamen, they still choose to retreat directly. I will arrange manpower in advance to guard the west side of Luomapo to cut off the Japanese. A way out.”
"In desperation, even if we capture a few fewer horses, we can only eliminate this devil here."
After making up his mind, Kong Jie called in Mu Mu, the leader of the investigation team, and arranged: "The warning range will be extended to three kilometers outward. The communication method will be five hundred relays and the military flag signal will be transmitted quickly. Even if the Japanese cavalry arrives, We must also buy at least ten minutes of maneuver time for the ambush troops.”
"Warning lines have also been posted in several other directions. Although the possibility is very small, we still have to be wary of the Japanese choosing other routes."
"Yes!" Mumu responded...
