The shooting incident at Zuixianglou broke out suddenly and ended quickly.
From the time Kong Jie and the monk suddenly took action, killing every Japanese and puppet soldier, to the time the two left from Zuixiang Tower, it did not take more than three minutes.
At that time, only some people passing by outside the restaurant saw the monk and Kong Jie leaving the Zuixiang Tower from a distance.
Later, Kong Jie and the monk were dressed in plain clothes to celebrate the birthday of the Japanese military police captain Yoshida Yushu. They walked out of the city with their shell guns hung on their waists in a swaggering manner.
Among the puppet soldiers at the city gate, no one dared to stop them.
Kong Jie didn't know what happened next.
The news was fully brewed after Kong Jie and the monk returned to the Independent Regiment's headquarters.
It is said that Kong Jie, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, took his guards and caused a riot at Zuixianglou in Shouyang County. Taking advantage of the birthday of Shouyang Military Police Captain Yoshida Yuki, he went to Zuixianglou to celebrate Yoshida Yoshida's birthday and killed him. There are more than 60 Japanese officers and puppet army officers in total.
The news came from several puppet soldiers, as well as the shopkeeper and clerk of Zuixianglou.
When the shooting broke out, the shopkeeper and the waiter were so frightened that they hid behind the counter and escaped with their lives, but they witnessed the situation in Zuixianglou.
"...I remember that at that time, Commander Kong of the Eighth Route Army and the soldiers around him were eating in the corner of the restaurant. The two of them were eating as if no one else was around, and the military police captain Yoshida Yuki was talking above!
The two of them didn't care at all, but they made a noise and attracted the attention of the Japs. Several Japs came over to question Commander Kong. Commander Kong took out his gun and shouted:
Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is here. Who is not afraid of death?
After that, he drew his gun and fired. He heard the roar of gunfire and bullets flying randomly. In an instant, all the Japanese soldiers, Imperial Army soldiers, and some soldiers from the detective team who were present were killed and fell on their backs.
I only heard gunshots ringing outside the counter for a while. When I poked my head out again, almost no one was standing.
I called the guys to come forward to save people, and then I discovered that several brothers from the Imperial Association Army were only injured and survived by luck.
…”
The shopkeeper of Zuixianglou described it like this at the time.
There is no shortage of descriptions of the situation in which Kong Jie massacred everyone at that time.
There were four Imperial Alliance soldiers who were lucky enough to survive. They were all injured. Some had their arms injured, and some had their thighs injured.
According to the four people's descriptions of the situation at the time, they were basically consistent with what the shopkeeper said.
It is said that the deputy platoon leader of the puppet army was really awesome. He was not afraid at all in a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army in a restaurant. He was shot in the shoulder and still chased him all the way out.
It wasn't until the Japanese and puppet army reinforcements arrived that his eyes darkened and he fainted.
Regarding the heroic fighting of the puppet platoon leader, the shopkeeper and clerk of Zuixianglou praised him a lot.
The Japanese lieutenant who arrived was also very emotional and quickly ordered the health workers to treat the four Imperial Army soldiers who were lucky enough to survive.
The Japanese lieutenant was on duty this time, so he didn't come to celebrate Yoshida Yuki's birthday. Instead, he was lucky enough to survive.
Then, the entire city of Shouyang County was placed under martial law.
The security forces stationed in Shouyang: the Japanese gendarmerie, the puppet garrison, and the detective team all took action and dug up almost three feet of the entire Shouyang County.
Of course, Kong Jie and the monk were not found in the end.
It was just the birthday of the captain of the Shouyang County Gendarmerie, and the Japanese, puppet troops, and military officers from the county gathered in Zuixianglou.
However, Kong Jie, commander of the Eighth Route Army, sneaked in with a guard.
The two of them gave the Japanese officers in Shouyang County a wonderful massacre.
Killed more than 60 Japanese and puppet army officers.
Birthdays turned into death anniversaries.
Once the news spread, it was explosive enough.
More importantly, Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, has become famous throughout northwestern Shanxi during this period.
From Cangyunling defeating the Bantian regiment, to the cavalry company's surprise attack on Qu County, to the independent regiment's guard company holding on to Lijiapo, destroying the Yamazaki brigade, advancing directly to Huanglong, and seizing the hinterland arsenal of the North China Security Army.
Kong Jie led the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and staged gorgeous chapters in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in northwestern Shanxi.
It is no exaggeration to say that the name Kong Jie is quite famous among all armed forces in northwestern Shanxi, including major enemy-occupied counties and counties.
Therefore, whenever news about Kong Jie spreads, it will always get extra attention from everyone.
For example, how many Japanese soldiers did Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment fight today?
What did you do again?
Topics like this, when published in newspapers, can often greatly increase the sales of some newspapers that day.
In addition, not long ago, the Japanese army launched a major counterattack in response to the trend of armed robbery in occupied areas.
The Japanese counterattack was fierce, and the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, and National Army suffered heavy losses, and the anti-Japanese momentum was temporarily sluggish.
The little devil is running rampant!
At this juncture, the incident in Zuixianglou happened. Kong Jie led the guards to ignore Shouyang County's security defense and directly caused chaos in Zuixianglou, killing a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. ,officer.
Eyewitnesses claimed.
When Commander Kong of the Independent Regiment and his guards entered the city, they entered the city with guns on their waists and swaggered into the city.
Now that the news has spread, how can the people not be excited?
This incident reveals the legendary character of a war hero from beginning to end.
This is what the people like to hear and see the most.
The Chinese nation has always been a nation that respects real people and heroes.
After the incident was fermented, Kong Jie, who was responsible for destroying the Japanese and puppet army officers at that time, and the storytellers even helped to compile many classic sentences.
For example: "Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is here, whoever is not afraid of death can come up!"
"Does a naughty little devil deserve a birthday? I, Kong Jie, am here, and your birthday will become your death anniversary."
"Little devil, I'm here to give you a gift. What gift? I'll destroy your place and give each of you a coffin."
…
After the storytellers learned about the incident of Kong Jie's riot in Zuixiang Tower, they were inspired. In the excitement, they created many classic plots overnight, which revolved around Kong Jie leading the guards to cause riot in Zuixiang Tower and the group was destroyed. The joke of the Japanese and puppet army officers begins.
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
From the enemy's Ministry of Industry, the situation after the Zuixianglou incident in Shouyang County was reported back.
Kong Jie was also a little dumbfounded.
"Monk, I remember that I didn't say that many words in the restaurant, right?"
The monk nodded and said: "Captain, I remember you said at that time, Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, is here, whoever is not afraid of death can come up!"
Kong Jie said clearly: "Let me just say, we are always ruthless people and don't talk much."
Monk: "..."
Kong Jie estimated that comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry were deliberately building momentum for themselves. This was not necessarily a disadvantage, as it could stimulate the enthusiasm of the people in the war zone and county towns to resist Japan.
…
Brigade Headquarters.
News of the Zuixianglou incident reached the brigade commander's ears.
The brigade commander and political commissar learned of this. The expressions they looked at each other at that time were quite wonderful.
The brigade commander laughed and said: "I thought I hadn't heard any news about Kong Jie these days. This kid has calmed down. Who would have thought that he turned around and went to cause trouble at the birthday party of the Japanese military police captain? .”
…
Taiyuan City.
The headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.
It was not just the Eighth Route Army who paid attention to the Zuixianglou incident. The news also reached the headquarters of the Japanese First Army and the ears of the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka.
This kind of thing would not have alarmed the headquarters originally. It was just an order issued by Yoshio Shinozuka a few days ago to treat the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army as a division-level combat unit of the national army.
Focused on collecting all aspects of intelligence related to the Independent Regiment and its leader Kong Jie, so the matter at Zuixianglou was reported to the intelligence department of the First Army Headquarters because it was related to the Independent Regiment and Kong Jie. Collected them and placed them on Shinozuka Yoshio's desk.
Anger is naturally inevitable.
"It seems that the security of the counties in the occupied area needs to be further strengthened. It was so easy for these two big men to sneak into Shouyang County and kill so many officers of our imperial army. It’s such a shame.”
Chief of Staff Kitagawa Ayumi said: "General, this matter is indeed an oversight in Shouyang County's public security. But on the other hand, Kong Jie's riot in Zuixianglou this time also took advantage of the gendarmerie captain's birthday."
Yoshio Shinozuka said angrily: "Speaking of celebrating his birthday, Yoshida Yuki is really stupid. Now that the Eighth Route Army is in chaos and public security has just stabilized, he dares to hold a big banquet. How can he look like a soldier?"
"This incident also reminded me that the headquarters must immediately issue an order and pass it on. In the occupied areas, major counties, villages and towns, officers from the empire and the Imperial Association Army will never be allowed to hold any big banquets."
"Unless necessary, all officers in the city cannot be gathered together. In this case, once the intelligence is leaked, it will be quite dangerous for our officers."
Kitagawa Ayushi responded: "Hey, general, please rest assured, I will arrange this matter."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said: "Kong Jie has a diverse personality. This time he dared to cause trouble in Zuixian Tower with a guard. This shows that there is also a lot of boldness in this person's character. temperament."
Kitagawa Ayumi said: "What the general said is that throughout the many battles between Kong Jie and the Japanese Empire, starting from the Battle of Cangyunling, he knocked out the Sakata headquarters with one shot and diverted the disaster eastward, forcing the Shanxi-Sui Army to The 358th Regiment participated in the battle, and then jointly defeated the Bantian Regiment, and then the cavalry company made a surprise attack on Qu County, and a surprise attack on the North China Security Army Arsenal."
"It can be seen that this person is very bold in using troops, and he also knows the art of strange and right. He is good at using strange weapons and is good at holding all the favorable factors in his hands to deal with the opponent."
Shinozuka Yoshio said: "So Kitagawa-kun, how do you think you should deal with such an enemy?"
Kitagawa Ayumi thought for a while and replied: "I think there are three principles for dealing with opponents who are cunning, bold, decisive, and cautious.
First, if you hit a snake but don't die, you will suffer from it instead. To deal with such an enemy, you either don't take action, or you have to kill it with one blow, completely defeat or even destroy it, leaving the opponent no longer able to fight back.
Otherwise, for such a tenacious opponent, once you knock him down instead of killing him, he will quickly get up and even give you a fatal blow.
Second, it is to use surprise troops against surprise troops. Looking at the fighting style of this independent regiment that has fought with our army many times, there are very few conventional battles.
If we use conventional means to deal with this independent group, Kong Jie will most likely use unconventional means to counterattack. If we use the right to confront the odd, we will definitely be at a disadvantage.
Third, look for weaknesses and wait for opportunities to take action.
No matter how cunning our opponent is, he or she has a fatal weakness. As long as we can find this weakness, we can kill our opponent. "
Yoshio Shinozuka asked: "Kitagawa-kun, where do you think the weakness of the Independent Regiment lies?"
Kitagawa Ayumi said: "Based on the intelligence about the Independent Regiment collected by the headquarters these days, it can now be basically confirmed that the Independent Regiment is vigorously developing base areas in the Niukou Village area. This immovable base may be the Independent Regiment. weakness.
If we can concentrate our efforts and carry out a targeted sweep, destroying it to its foundations in one fell swoop, we will be able to severely damage or even eliminate the independent group. "
"吆西!"
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded thoughtfully, looking at the Ushiguchi Village area on the map, walking back and forth.
…
…
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
Naturally, Kong Jie would not know that he was being taken care of by Yoshio Shinozuka, the dignified Japanese lieutenant general and commander of the First Army in Shanxi.
At this moment, the regimental headquarters room was bustling.
Since the end of the last Iron Triangle joint operation, the three leaders of the Iron Triangle, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, have gathered together again.
It was still early and there was no time for dinner, so Kong Jie asked the monk to go to the cooking class and prepare some peanuts, melons and fruits.
No wine was drunk.
The monk gave each of the three group leaders a cup of tea, and the three of them drank tea, ate peanuts and fruits, and chatted.
At this moment, they are talking enthusiastically.
Li Yunlong drank the tea, but he couldn't get used to the bitter taste of tea. He always felt that he was happy without drinking. Seeing that Kong Jie didn't even have a drink, he couldn't help but cursed:
"I said, Lao Kong, you are too picky. Lao Ding and I finally came to your independent group. If you don't get some good wine to entertain, you just get some old tea leaves. What do you mean? "
Ding Wei didn't say anything, and his meaning was similar. Both of them were drunkards.
Kong Jie said: "Old Li, you are a regiment leader after all, so you have to set an example. The soldiers are still training outside. What does it look like for us three regiment leaders to sit together and drink together?"
Li Yunlong said happily: "I'm talking to you, Lao Kong, how can you, who don't have a political commissar, live a better life than I, who have a political commissar?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "This is called self-discipline. Besides, drinking more tea is good for the body. It can moisturize the intestines and clear the stomach. It can also reduce the probability of soldiers getting diseases. The dietary standards of the little devils are also specially distributed. Got tea.
Lao Li, I'm not talking about you. When I left Yangcun, I left a lot of tea for your New Second Regiment. Have you distributed it to the soldiers? "
"Don't worry, I've already drunk it. The little tea you have is not enough. I also arranged logistics later and specially dried a batch of tea leaves."
While Li Yunlong was talking, he cursed: "Old Ding, I finally understand. This old man is digging so hard and refuses to bring out the wine. Why? Because he is in Zuixianglou, Shouyang County, so damn long ago You’ve had enough to drink, why don’t you think about it?”
Ding Wei smiled and said: "I agree with this."
"Have you all heard about this?" Kong Jie said.
Ding Wei said: "You, Lao Kong, and the monk came to Zuixian Tower to put on a good show of the Eighth Route Army causing a devil's banquet. The news had already spread, how could Lao Li and I not know about it?
Lao Kong, you are not interesting enough. You didn't invite me and Lao Li when we had a table to eat. "
Kong Jie said with a smile: "I just got the news and made an impromptu decision. Plus, it's New Year's Day, which is the monk's eighteenth birthday. So I took the monk over to have a dinner. It's fun."
Ding Wei said: "It doesn't matter what you mean. I guess from now on, the kid will not dare to celebrate his birthday again. Why? Maybe Commander Kong will receive the news and give it to others I went to wish you a happy birthday."
Hahahahaha——
After Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie and Li Yonglong laughed together.
Then let’s talk about the last cooperation between the Iron Triangle.
Li Yunlong was the first to speak and suggested: "Let's not talk about anything else, but let's talk about how each of us obtained the equipment from the Jinsui Army and the National Army."
Having said this, Lao Li said proudly: "I didn't say anything. When I saw the defeated Jinsui Army and the National Army, I just acted like a puppet army and disarmed first."
Ding Wei said: "Old Li, you are too blatant. Be careful if someone bites you back. It is said that you took the initiative to cause friction."
"My new regiment was different. At that time, it was running back from the rear against the defeated national army. Along the way, the defeated national army willingly lent me all the equipment and ammunition they had. of."
Li Yunlong said happily: "What's borrowing? It's not a lie! This equipment is in your hands, old Ding, do you still have to pay it back?"
Kong Jie said: "You two, one is robbing openly and the other is coaxing to borrow. Guess what I did?
I got the equipment from the Jinsui Army. I didn't borrow it, and I didn't steal it. I held it for them temporarily. I even sent a batch to Chu Yunfei.
I told Chu Yunfei that these equipment were thrown on the ground in panic when your Jinsui Army soldiers fled.
If Brother Chu wants it, go and make it clear to your Chief Yan. As long as your Chief Yan comes forward, our Eighth Route Army will definitely return the weapons to you. "
"Guess what happened? Yan Laoxi naturally couldn't lose face. He admitted that his team was not good and he didn't feel embarrassed to ask for the equipment. He didn't want to suffer such a big loss in vain."
"Just pretending to say nothing, this batch of equipment is to support our Eighth Route Army in resisting Japan."
"Look, it's interesting!"
The three of them laughed again. Ding Wei and Li Yunlong still admired Kong Jie for taking retreat to advance, taking the initiative to send equipment, and blocking the mouths of the Jinsui Army and the National Army.
Speaking of cunning, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong have increasingly consistent opinions in this regard:
This kid Lao Kong is getting more and more cunning!
After drinking a few sips of tea, Lao Li began to curse the injustice.
"The three of us have all taken advantage of this, and you, Lao Kong and Lao Ding, still get the most. How could you two be so generous when sending equipment to the brigade commander? It seems that I am going to send the brigade commander away, and why are you two so generous? Because of this, I was scolded by the brigade commander."
"In the end, I took all the blame. Where can I go to reason?"
Ding Weile said: "Lao Li, you can't blame me and Lao Kong."
"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong glared.
Kong Jie said: "Who said you, Li Yunlong, have the biggest head? If the three of us stand together, if a Japanese sniper comes, he will definitely target you first. Believe it or not?"
Li Yunlong: "..."
"You successfully choked Li Yunlong, your personal charm value +1"
Kong Jie was startled for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. My long-lost charm value, thanks to Lao Li's hard work, is almost full.
Then the topic changed to discuss the main issue of this Iron Triangle reunion - the issue of joint defense.
The last time it was a joint operation by the Iron Triangle, but in fact, the key point of the three regiments Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei was still on joint defense.
Ding Wei was the first to express his opinion: "Lao Kong, Lao Li, this time our three regiments jointly fought, the little devil suffered a lot. With the devil's urine, the three of us have probably been on the devil's blacklist.
Coupled with the defense areas of our three regiments, as the gateway to the headquarters, the little devils will not just watch us develop.
I estimate that whether it is a tentative attack by the Japs or a general sweep, our three regiments will definitely bear the brunt.
In addition, among our three regiments, it goes without saying that once the Japanese army makes up its mind to attack, the main point of attack will definitely be Lao Kong's independent regiment.
We have to guard against this!
I still have the same point of view as before. We should seize the time to open up the transportation and troop transport channels between our three regiments. Once a war breaks out, we must ensure that when one of them is attacked, the other two regiments can arrive to support in the shortest possible time. . "
Kong Jie agreed: "We really need to speed up this matter. This passage must be concealed enough and convenient enough to ensure the rapid movement of cavalry, bicycles, motorcycles, and even trucks."
