August.
Late.
Beginning on the 20th, the Eighth Route Army launched an all-out attack on various transportation lines, stations, strongholds, and bridges, mainly on the Japanese Shota-Taiwan Railway.
It’s getting worse!
One day ago, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army officially divided its troops under the order of the regiment headquarters issued by Kong Jie and Zhao Gang.
Li Yunlong led four battalions, which were counted as one group. As for how Lao Li would make specific arrangements and divide the troops, Kong Jie didn't care.
The remaining teams, from the first company to the ninth company, are based on companies as basic units and are dispersed to attack. If there is a need later, each company can be divided into parts again to fight.
station.
The regiment headquarters was left behind, and there was also a pistol company directly under the regiment, which was also regarded as a guard company. Kong Jie later ordered it to be built. There were a hundred people in the whole company, most of which were equipped with a shell gun, and were modified and equipped with wooden butts. Shooting over the shoulder increases the hit rate. A few are equipped with other types of pistols. In addition, each squad is equipped with a light machine gun. The firepower configuration is quite good.
The company commander is concurrently served by Wei Dayong. Of course, in Wei Dayong's original words: "Captain, I don't care about this kind of guard company commander. My main job is to be your guard, and my first priority is to protect your safety."
Kong Jie yelled at this: "Bullshit, you have to do a good job as a guard, and you have to do a good job as the commander of the security company. Besides, part of the responsibility of the security company is to protect the safety of the regiment." ,Do not conflict."
Kong Jie deliberately trained the monk to get rid of his personal heroism and arrogance.
The monk had no choice but to agree, and thus became the commander of the guard company.
In addition to the guard company, there is also an artillery platoon directly under the regiment staying at the station this time. To be precise, it has now been expanded into an artillery company. The artillery company commander is served by the former artillery platoon leader Wang Chengzhu, and the deputy company commander is a howitzer.
It is said that Howitzer was originally willing to join the Eighth Route Army. One was that Kong Jie led the Eighth Route Army to rescue his life from a prisoner of war. The other was that he saw that the Eighth Route Army was a real team that fought against Japanese invaders, so with gratitude to Kong Jie, he expressed gratitude to the Eighth Route Army for killing Japanese soldiers. I was so impressed that I joined the independent group.
Originally, he didn't have any hope for the independent regiment's equipment and howitzers. He had heard about it a long time ago. The three-gun Tubal Road had such pitiful equipment. How could it be any better?
Not to mention that it is not comparable to the Central Army, I am afraid it is not even comparable to the local army.
As a result, when they arrived at the Independent Regiment, the howitzers were dumbfounded.
Good guy, it turns out that the Eighth Route Army also has artillery and an artillery platoon! When the Type 92 infantry gun appeared in front of the howitzer, the howitzer was stunned.
What follows is great happiness, what else is there to say?
Just for this infantry gun, we have to stay.
Then, the howitzer quickly saw what the independent regiment-style capture speed was.
First came the cavalry company in Wanjia Town, but turned around and killed another Japanese cavalry squadron. The number of various types of artillery in the artillery platoon continued to increase.
The howitzer originally thought that this was enough, but who would have thought that this seemed to be an appetizer for the regiment leader. Turning around, the regiment leader Kong Jie used cavalry tactics to surprise Qu County and captured a large number of artillery in one fell swoop.
When looking at the three infantry guns, several 90mm caliber mortars, and the various artillery shells piled up in the artillery battery, the howitzer felt like he was dreaming, even if he was in the national army. We weren't so wealthy back then, were we?
Is this the Eighth Route Army with scarce ammunition and backward equipment that the Japanese and Chinese troops said?
This is really a long time coming.
…
The artillery battery was concentrated at the garrison. This was the unanimous intention of Kong Jie and Zhao Gang.
In this large-scale offensive, there are too many Japanese strongholds and gun towers. If offensive artillery fire is used at all costs, the independent regiment's artillery reserve, no matter how large it is, will not be enough.
Kong Jie didn't dare to open this hole. This good steel must be used on the blade.
He knew better than anyone else that once the Japanese launched a retaliatory sweep of the base area after the end of this raid, the Eighth Route Army units would face a difficult and outstanding period.
If you don't save more money now and use it sparingly, you won't have anywhere to cry when the time comes.
Of course, if each company fighting separately encounters some strongholds that are difficult to remove and needs to use large-caliber artillery to attack the fortress, Kong Jie has already said that each department can send people to the station at any time to mobilize artillery support.
In addition, commandos and cavalry companies remained at the garrison.
This time was a tough battle, and the Japs' various strongholds had been on guard for a long time. Naturally, Kong Jie couldn't let the commando take the risk to sneak attack the gun towers.
As for the cavalry company, let alone that. The cavalry is not the material for fighting tough battles at all.
After the battle in Qu County, the soldiers naturally had no problem with the arrangements of the cavalry company.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. As long as the cavalry company can achieve the same results as Quxian at the critical moment, no one in the independent regiment will say no even if the independent regiment maintains the cavalry company for three to five years.
On Dong San's side, the soldiers of each company were busy fighting the attack, and the armory workshop was also not idle.
It has to be said that Dong San is indeed a talent. He first arranged the logistics department's livelihood support for each company's attack operations.
Turning around, he was busy in the repair shop again.
The repair shop has added a lot of manpower these days, including Jiang Hai and other soldiers whom Kong Jie visited the ward last time.
After Jiang Hai and the others recovered from their injuries, they applied for help from the repair shop. There was an old carpenter in the repair shop who built a wheelchair for Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai sat in the wheelchair all day long to repair the damaged firearms. On the one hand, I asked Dong Sanhe and other old masters for their experience in firearm repair.
In addition, heavy machine gunner Digua, who was seriously injured during the ambush of Yamamoto's special forces in Yangcun, returned to the commando team after recovering.
Repair shop.
When Kong Jie arrived, the staff in the repair shop were busy.
Kong Jie looked up and saw Jiang Hai and a group of soldiers returning from injury.
Everyone is immersed in the world of repairing firearms. Some have forgotten their legs that can no longer stand up, and some have forgotten that they are missing an arm. They use the other arm to help transport firearms back and forth, and they are equally busy. Very happy.
Busy people are immersed in fulfillment and happiness.
Onlookers were filled with emotion.
The strength of life and the pursuit of faith are always shocking.
"Captain, you are here!"
Finally, Dong San accidentally saw Kong Jie standing at the door.
Jiang Hai and others also reacted and greeted Kong Jie one after another.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Everyone is busy with their own business. I'm here to take a look at the situation. All companies in the county are carrying out raids and attacking strongholds. During this period, there will be no shortage of seizures and damaged guns. You guys I’m busy repairing all the machinery!”
Jiang Hai said happily: "Captain, if you are so busy, I will be busy to death!"
"That's right, when did our independent regiment live so richly? The number of broken guns brought to the repair shop these days has almost piled up into a small mountain. In less than half a month, our repair shop has repaired a gun that can fight. More than five hundred rifles.”
"If these more than 500 guns were in the hands of the soldiers, how many more Japanese would have to be killed?"
The soldier who was missing one left arm skillfully held four or five rifles in his arms with one hand at a time and sent them to the repair table aside, while smiling and saying.
Kong Jie said seriously: "That's true. If the battlefield ahead is a battlefield where gunpowder smoke can be seen, then our armory is a battlefield where gunpowder smoke can't be seen."
"Every victory of the frontline soldiers is due to the hard work of the comrades in the repair shop."
"After this battle is over, the regiment headquarters will remember the collective military merit of the comrades in the armory!"
"Thank you, captain!"
The soldiers thanked each other with smiles on their faces.
Dong San smiled and walked towards Kong Jie, "Captain, the research on Feitian powder explosives has made considerable progress, and there are also some modified weapons, all designed according to the modified weapon diagram you sent last time. , just ask you to take a look at the situation..."
