...Yoshio Shinozuka's questioning ended, and Kazuki Yamamoto's calm eyes gradually transformed into the sharpness of an eagle and the ferocity of a wolf.
"Your Excellency General, the special agent team has the expertise of the special agent team. The special agent team may not be able to destroy the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, but I am still very interested in taking out the headquarters of the independent regiment and cooperating with the army combat troops to destroy the independent regiment in one fell swoop."
After Yamamoto finished speaking, Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but laugh. This beloved general who used to be arrogant and almost ignored combat units below the division level of the Eighth Route Army is now much more pragmatic.
"Yamamoto-kun, you have made much progress!"
"Hi!" Yamamoto said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty the General often teaches that a lion must fight a rabbit with all its strength. The special team's constant setbacks at the hands of the independent group are due to Yamamoto's carelessness."
"The biggest enemy is often the best teacher. Now I understand very well that if we can't even get rid of the small independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, how can we talk about the promotion of special operations? Maybe Yamamoto's special operations path will stop here. "
"Destroying the command system of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, eliminating the leader of the Independent Regiment Kong Jie, and destroying the Independent Regiment are Yamamoto's biggest obsessions at the moment!"
Yoshio Shinozuka asked: "Yamamoto-kun, have you thought it through?"
"Hi!"
"Then let's do it! Destroy the independent group and crush the unkind remarks against the Japanese Empire.
Broken the Eighth Route Army's so-called iron triangle defenses in northern Shanxi.
I have already issued an order to the Ishii Regiment. You go find Mr. Ishii. This time the two of you will join forces and make sure to destroy the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. "
"Hi!" Yamamoto responded loudly.
…
After leaving the headquarters, Yamamoto rushed directly to the Ishii regiment headquarters without stopping and found the Japanese commander Ishii Haraichi.
Yamamoto and Ishii Haraichi are alumni, both graduated from the Imperial Japanese Army University.
The difference is that Yamamoto Kazuki graduated three classes earlier than Ishii Haraichi.
But it is sad to say that now, Kazuki Yamamoto, a top student from the Imperial Continent who graduated three periods ahead of schedule, has the same military rank as his junior student Ishii Haraichi, they are both colonels.
There are naturally reasons for this:
After graduating from the Imperial Japanese University, Yamamoto Kazuki was not interested in large-scale combat. His interest lay in studying the emerging military discipline of special operations. For this reason, he even went to the Munich Special Military Academy in Germany for further training.
Because of this, Yamamoto also missed the opportunity to make meritorious service on the Chinese battlefield. Therefore, Yamamoto had the lowest military rank among the graduates of Mainland University in the same period.
Most of his classmates have become famous army generals.
Because of these resume reasons, and the fact that Yamamoto is slightly older than Ishii Haraichi, when Yamamoto Kazuki stood in front of Ishii Haraichi, even though he did not make too many gestures, Ishii Haraichi was of the same military rank. Even though he was a senior, he still treated Yamamoto as a senior.
"Senior, the seniors should be the main ones to deal with the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment this time, and Ishii is willing to assist." Ishiihara said solemnly.
Yamamoto said: "Ishii-kun, I am not good at commanding coalition operations. You don't have to be too modest. This time you and I are fighting together, and your coalition is responsible for frontal containment.
Before your main force attacks the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, I will lead a special agent team to destroy the headquarters system of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment one step ahead.
You then led the troops and took advantage of the paralysis of the Eighth Route Army's command system to destroy the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.
This is the general tactical coordination this time. "
"Xinxi, it sounds very simple." Ishii Yuanichi said.
The Japanese Army Regiment is the first-level combat unit of the Japanese Army and the most important combat unit at the tactical combat level of the Japanese Army.
In the Japanese Army, only regiment-level combat units have military flags, and this military flag is personally awarded by the Emperor of Japan, symbolizing supreme glory.
If the sergeant is the cornerstone of the Japanese army and the general is the head of the Japanese army, then the colonel is the backbone of the Japanese army and the mainstay of the Japanese army system.
To a certain extent, the Japanese colonel, as the wing commander, can be regarded as the highest tactical commander of the Japanese army.
In other words, when it comes to the understanding of tactics and the application of tactics in actual combat, in the Japanese army system, the Japanese colonel can basically be regarded as the tactical ceiling.
Yamamoto did not dare to underestimate the junior student in front of him who was three periods younger than him.
In this joint operation between the two sides, what Yamamoto Kazuki needs the Ishii Regiment to do is to contain the independent regiment from the front and create an opportunity for himself to behead the independent regiment's headquarters.
As for the subsequent task of annihilating the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, naturally it has to be left to Ishii Haraichi.
As they talked, the two came to the sand table, marked the area where the independent regiment's base was located, and started discussing the next specific military attack.
"Senior, please see, according to the relevant information obtained by the intelligence department of the headquarters, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was stationed in the Niukou Village area around the end of last year."
"It can be said that the independent regiment has not been stationed in the Niukou Village area for a long time. However, as far as the investigation is known, the development and construction of the base area opened by the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in Niukou Village has been quite rapid."
"The loss of copper coins in the Niukou Village area has been identified some time ago and was caused by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. As for the copper coins they purchased, I think they were used to produce ammunition independently."
"Through this, I have reason to suspect that this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army has a certain basis for independent production of arms."
"This means that in this offensive operation, we cannot equate the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment with the regular Eighth Route Army combat troops. The ammunition they have on hand may be more abundant than we imagined."
Yamamoto Kazuki quite agrees with this point:
"Yes, in the past six months, this independent group has fought many times with our Imperial Japanese Army without any defeat. Through the seizure, they must have accumulated a considerable amount of equipment and ammunition in their hands."
Ishii Haraichi said: "So I believe that in this attack, although our troops still have the artillery advantage, we cannot underestimate the firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."
Kazuki Yamamoto nodded and said: "Ishii-kun, there is one more thing I think I should remind you. While attacking the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, I think you also need to consider the new regiment surrounding the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. With the New Second Regiment.”
Ishiihara said clearly: "Senior is right. I have been studying this since the general ordered me to cooperate with your special agent team to attack the independent regiment."
"Speaking of these Tubal Roads, they are indeed interesting. I don't know whether the leaders of these Tubal Roads have attended regular military schools and whether they have systematically studied military tactics and ideas."
"However, judging from the actual situation at hand, these Eighth Route Army commanders are indeed masters of applying tactics in practice."
"The Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, the three teams are located together to form a large triangle, showing the trend of horns. If the three teams unite, they can advance to attack and retreat to defend. They can form a A pretty powerful triangle defense system.”
"In addition, looking at the Niukou Village in Gentedi where this independent regiment is located, although it is not a big village, it is surrounded by mountains. Once the military fails, they can retreat to the mountains at any time, with the help of almost Endless depth, using their expertise in guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to wear down our offensive forces."
"For our offensive troops, because of the obstacles of mountains, it is basically impossible to directly encircle the independent regiment like a plain terrain, or to force the opponent to fight us in a positional battle and compete for firepower advantage. "
"To put it this way, this time my senior and I attacked the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. We probably have to consider two major aspects. On the one hand, while attacking the Independent Regiment, we must beware of the support of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment to the Independent Regiment. "
"The second aspect is to deal with the fact that once this independent regiment is unfavorable in combat and retreats to the mountainous area, how can we further expand the results?"
When Haraichi Ishii analyzed these issues, he could not hide his confidence.
How could Yamamoto Kazuki not understand what Ishii Haraichi meant, so he walked down the steps and asked: "Ishii-kun, how are you going to solve these two problems?"
Ishiihara smiled and said: "Senior, I think this is not difficult. This time we send troops to attack the independent regiment. The independent regiment is located near Yangquan.
The imperial troops in Yangquan will definitely be willing to help us intercept the Eighth Route Army reinforcements coming from the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
In addition, Taiyuan City, Ping'an County, and Taigu were on alert to prevent the main force of the Eighth Route Army from taking the opportunity to send troops after noticing the crisis in the independent regiment. "
"What our Ishii Regiment has to do is to quickly deploy it after detecting enough intelligence information and launch a sudden attack."
"I have analyzed a series of operations of this independent regiment, and I have also analyzed the combat style of Kong Jie, the leader of this independent regiment. He is bold in using troops, and there is almost nothing he dares to do. He is a man who can flexibly apply tactics in actual applications. , a resourceful guy."
"Such a commander seems to have no flaws, but in fact, this is his biggest flaw - he is confident and will never give up easily!"
"So I can almost be sure that when our Shijing regiment advances to the base of his independent regiment, Kong Jie will never retreat easily, and will never easily give up the foundation of the base he has developed and built in Niukou Village. "
"This gives us the opportunity and time to secretly advance our forces and destroy the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop."
"Even if my estimate is wrong, this military operation, at worst, can destroy the development and construction of the Independent Regiment in the Niukou Village base area in one fell swoop, greatly combating the arrogance of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and inspiring our Imperial Japanese Army. military morale."
"However, if the senior can destroy the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in advance before I launch the general offensive, it is best to eliminate Kong Jie along the way. I am almost sure to destroy the base of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, severely damaging or even destroying the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."
Under Ishii Haraichi's vow, Yamamoto Kazuki no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Ishii-kun, please rest assured that our special agent team will definitely succeed in this beheading operation."
"Haha, then Ishii is right here. I wish seniors a triumphant return in advance!" Ishiihara said with a smile.
…
…
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
Just when two old devils, Ishii Haraichi and Yamamoto Kazuki, were plotting how to cooperate to destroy the independent group.
Kong Jie was discussing the current organization and firepower allocation of the independent regiment with battalion commanders and instructors at the military meeting held in the morning.
First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu was the first to ask the question.
"Captain, the current establishment of our first battalion is not enough anyway.
We have seized so many guns and ammunition these days. These extra guns cannot be left idle in the warehouse, right?
I have recently been thinking about drawing another group of recruits from the surrounding militia units, forming a company of recruits for training, and then adding them to a battalion.
It just so happens that these comrades in the militia have been training for almost two months under the guidance of the militia military training manual, and their military foundation is not bad. "
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan then said: "Captain, if his first battalion expands, our second battalion must also expand, and I will expose his first battalion!"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Chen Quan, what are you going to expose about this camp?"
Chen Quan said: "Captain, I want to expose his first battalion for being so shameless. You don't know that his first battalion now has five companies under it.
Not to mention the four infantry companies, they also brought out a heavy machine gun company. This is outrageous. Their battalion has an average of three heavy machine guns per company, but in the end they just pulled out a heavy machine gun company. This is not obvious. Show off that their battalion is well equipped and has many heavy machine guns? "
Wang Leihu said happily: "Old Shen, if you are jealous, just say so and don't try to flatter me by saying anything."
"What's wrong with me setting up a heavy machine gun company? Let me tell you, if your second battalion has the ability, you can also build a heavy machine gun company."
"Not to mention a heavy machine gun company, I have recently been thinking about setting up a battalion-owned machine gun company in my first battalion, just in time to put some of the captured 81mm mortars to use."
"Commander, look, does he have a battalion? He also has a machine gun battery!" Shen Quan cursed.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "I have said before that the rules of our independent regiment are that those who are capable eat meat, and those who are incompetent don't even think about soup. This is not only the rule of our independent regiment, but also the rule of our entire 386 Brigade in general. This rule.
His battalion has the ability to build a heavy machine gun battery and a machine gun battery. That is the ability of other battalions.
Chen Quan, when did you become so worthless?
If you are so jealous, you might as well think about how to lift the equipment of your second battalion! "
"That's right!" First Battalion Commander Wang Lihu shook his head proudly.
Chen Quan cried and said: "Captain, you have to say something fair!
Every time there is a combat mission in this regiment, you always think of the 1st Battalion first. Even this time when you went to fight the 251st Regiment during the Chinese New Year, you were the main force of the 1st Battalion.
After this battle is won, will the benefits accrue to our other battalions?
You can't let the drought die and the waterlogging die.
His battalion is ready to build a machine gun company, but our other battalion is still struggling to even build a heavy machine gun company! "
"That's right, Captain, you have to make the decision for us!"
"Captain!"
As soon as Shen Quan said this, the first battalion was considered outraged, and several other battalion commanders shouted.
Kong Jie said with a dark face: "Okay, okay, then let's change the rules. Next time there is a combat mission in the regiment, now our five battalions have also developed, which battalion will be sent then? On the one hand, I think you Which battalion commander has the right abilities and the distance of the station.
If everything works, we will draw lots when the time comes, and whoever catches the prize will be the winner. Let me see if you have anything else to say. "
"The leader is wise!"
Several other battalion commanders responded in unison. The first battalion commander suddenly became weak and glared at Shen Quan several times. Shen Quan stared back unwilling to be outdone.
Kong Jie then asked: "Aiguo, tell me about the current equipment situation of your fifth battalion in more detail."
The Fifth Battalion is the least senior among the five battalions of the Independent Regiment, and is also the one with the worst equipment.
Therefore, Kong Jie wanted to get a feel for the fifth battalion first, so that he could have a rough judgment on the firepower configuration of the entire regiment.
"yes!"
The commander of the fifth battalion, Du Aiguo, responded and replied: "Our fifth battalion has three infantry companies, plus a machine gun platoon directly under the battalion, equipped with one heavy machine gun and twelve light machine guns."
"Each infantry company is equipped with one heavy machine gun and has three infantry platoons under its jurisdiction. Each platoon is equipped with three modified grenade launchers (grenade launchers with a tripod, and a longer and thicker launcher launcher, which can temporarily add propellants). bag), plus three light machine guns.”
"Each combat squad will be assigned a light machine gun and a modified grenade launcher."
"Each heavy machine gun is equipped with 1,500 rounds of ammunition, each light machine gun is equipped with 500 rounds of ammunition, and each grenade launcher is equipped with 50 shells."
