Fermentation continues over time.
The entire battle situation continued to change quietly.
The brigade headquarters soon learned through the intelligence network that the Japanese army was secretly mobilizing troops and even marching at night, quickly approaching the Yangquan area.
At this time, officers from both sides' headquarters were burning the midnight oil to fight.
Looking at the intelligence passed on and the military map of the Yangquan area in front of him, the chief of staff frowned and said, "Brigadier Commander, the situation is not good."
"This little devil suddenly mobilized a large number of troops. There is a brigade each for the eastward and northward advancement of Yangquan, with a strength of over 10,000 troops. Such a large-scale troop mobilization."
"The kid's plans are not trivial!"
The political commissar also sighed with emotion: "The elite Japanese troops in the two brigades are enough to carry out a decent sweep of our base area."
"The strategic intention of the little Japs is very obvious. They are aiming to attack the Japanese advance strongholds in the Yangquan area and to ambush the independent regiments on various transportation lines."
The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and said with a smile:
"The movement is not small. The bigger the movement, the more it can explain a problem. What does it mean?"
"It means that this little devil has been suffering at the hands of Kong Jie for the past two years. His hatred for the Independent Group has grown so much that he would rather secretly mobilize the main force of the two brigade groups than eat up the Independent Group in one go."
"Kong Jie is getting more and more hated by the Japanese."
"Look at the current battle situation. Are you a little impatient?"
The brigade commander reminded the chief of staff who was analyzing the map.
"Brigadier, what you said seems to be true."
"Look, Kong Jie just led the independent regiment to suddenly ambush several Japanese railway transportation lines, and then took the opportunity to create chaos, attack strongholds, and demolish the gun towers."
"Originally, according to common sense, the Japs only need to send out reinforcements to defend the transportation lines and stronghold gun towers, but this little Japs actually spent so much time trying to turn a reinforcement war into a large-scale encirclement and annihilation war!"
"To be precise, it's deception and annihilation!" said the brigade commander.
The chief of staff nodded in agreement, "Use three ration transportation lines and a large number of stronghold artillery towers as bait."
"The Japanese have spent a lot of money to destroy the Independent Regiment."
Having said this, he noticed that the brigade commander still had a calm expression, and the chief of staff couldn't help but smile:
"Brigadier, are you not worried about Kong Jie at all?"
The brigade commander smiled and said: "Kong Jie is no longer the Kong Jie he was before, so our worries may not be unnecessary."
As for why the brigade commander was so confident, he only said one sentence: "Do you know which intelligence line the brigade headquarters received this time about the Japanese army secretly mobilizing troops?"
The chief of staff, who understood in seconds, said in astonishment: "...It shouldn't be a team, right?"
The brigade commander smiled and nodded.
The chief of staff and political commissar suddenly realized what was going on, and sighed deeply in their hearts.
Who is the brigade commander? He is a super boss with a serious background in intelligence.
In addition, the brigade headquarters has painstakingly developed a developed intelligence network in major enemy-occupied areas over the years.
Not to mention the area occupied by the Japanese, no disturbance could escape the brigade commander's eyes and ears.
At least the Japanese troops only need to leave the counties and towns.
Before anyone reaches the Eighth Route Army guerrilla zone, the news can reach the ears of the brigade commander first.
This is also the fundamental reason why for so many years, the little devils have repeatedly launched large-scale raids on the Taihang and Taiyue areas, but they have repeatedly hit a wall and cannot locate the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
But now, this kid Kong Jie actually got the information one step ahead than the brigade commander.
what does that mean?
This means that while the brigade headquarters is still worrying about the Japanese plan to lure and annihilate the independent regiment, Kong Jie may have already thought of countermeasures and arranged everything.
Of course, the brigade commander who commanded the overall situation from a high position even though he said he didn't worry about Kong Jie.
But the brigade commander still cares about the safety of his beloved general.
"Immediately notify the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment, and use the main force to quickly move to the Yangquan flank, and cover the safety of the Independent Regiment's flank as appropriate!"
The brigade commander's quick deployment and the veteran leader's caring heart for his subordinates made the chief of staff and political commissar laugh together.
However, the chief of staff still asked one more question: "Brigade commander, Li Yunlong is leading the independent regiment at the moment, eagerly waiting for the train full of grain to pass by on the Japanese transportation route!"
"Ask him to cover, this kid will definitely not be happy."
The brigade commander scolded: "You have to be willing even if you don't like it. The protagonist of this drama is already clear. Why, he, Li Yunlong, still wants to steal the protagonist?"
..."Damn it, this idiot Kong Er is now more proud than our old Li."
"Go and ask around. Others have always provided cover for me. When have I ever provided cover for others? In which battle was my, Li Yunlong's troops not at the forefront?"
New Second Regiment Headquarters.
After receiving the news, Li Yunlong complained loudly at the regiment headquarters and cursed non-stop.
Zhang Dabiao on the side lowered his eyes, unable to speak.
I couldn't help but complain a few words in my heart:
Leader!
Things are different now than before. Not to mention our new Second Regiment, this time even the two old main regiments, the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, aren't they still covering up Commander Kong honestly?
Captains Cheng and Xu didn't say anything.
There are so many people who want to sell favors to Commander Kong now.
Who doesn’t know that Captain Kong is the best at doing business, and everyone wants to make a fortune with him!
Political commissar Zhao Gang gave some advice from the side: "Old Li, just use cover when you need to cover!"
"Once the battle in Yangquan begins, it would be unrealistic for us to wait and ambush the Japanese transport train."
"The kid has probably made adjustments."
"I think the Japanese may even stop transporting military rations by train in the short term."
Li Yunlong didn't know the current situation. He couldn't help but cursed:
"Lao Kong is so unkind. We agreed to eat meat together, but he ate it first, and we couldn't even drink the damn soup!"
"It's really annoying to compare people to each other."
…
A team headquarters.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan placed multiple small paper flags on the sand table and outlined the shortest route for these small paper flags to reach the Yangquan area on the sand table.
He pointed to the two flags facing north and west and said:
"Lao Kong, the little devil has really spent a lot of money this time. Not counting the other small-scale troops, just look at the north and east directions, and there are actually two brigades directly deployed."
"This is a plan to destroy the main force of our independent group in one fell swoop!"
"According to the marching speed of the Japs' fastest mechanized troops, it will only take less than two hours for these first batch of Japs to quickly arrive around Yangquan."
"If the Japanese want to encircle our army in the surrounding area, it will take about four hours."
"After all, this is the territory of the little devils. Without the vast mountainous area as depth, a head-on confrontation will not be good for us!"
Kong Jie was not worried, but rather proud: "Hmph, tens of thousands of troops were mobilized at once. The little devil really thinks highly of me, Kong Jie."
Xu Guoan laughed and said: "Although the big net is scary, if the target is not trapped in the net at all, sooner or later it will be a bamboo basket, and everything will be in vain!"
"Lao Kong, it seems that your previous decision was correct."
"Ensure that the ambush and food transfer are completed within one hour's safety time, and the team evacuates quickly."
"In this way, before the Japanese's big net arrives, we can jump out of the encirclement in advance. When the little Japanese spend a lot of manpower and material resources to encircle us, we will find that the encirclement is already empty."
"I'm afraid the Japs will be so angry that they won't be able to sleep well!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Well said, an old devil like Yoshio Shinozuka dares to mobilize troops and encirclement like this."
“I can probably guess a little bit of his thoughts.
One is to defend strongholds, gun towers and transportation lines.
On the other hand, he probably thinks that given the conditions of our Eighth Route Army, it is simply impossible to move all the intercepted grain in just one hour. "
"Then let's show this little devil what the power of China is. It can create miracles in an hour. Let's see what the devil can do to me..."
