The little devil's calculations were ringing loudly.
Unfortunately it depends on who you meet.
As the sixth most famous general among the Eighth Route Army generals.
The words that Captain Kong Da often talks about are, "I, Kong Jie, am a real person, and I won't do any intrigues at all!"
Other generals have always just rolled their eyes at this.
Yes, you, Commander Kong Da, are a real person.
As a result, no matter who deals with you, you will always take advantage of him. The key is that he sold you and even helped you count the money, with a look of willingness on his face!
Yes, you, Commander Kong Da, don’t know how to play any conspiracy at all.
As a result, I don’t know how many troops were killed by you.
Joe Nakahara, the captain of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan who was eradicated by the commando beheading operation, once said: "If we talk about insidiousness, among the generals of the Eighth Route Army, the one who impressed me the most was Kong Jie."
Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, said: "This Kong Jie is a fool on the outside and a slippery one on the inside. It is really difficult to deal with him. You never know when he will dig a hole for you. When half of your body is already buried, After entering the earth, you still think he is a real person!"
Li Yunlong said: "I have never suffered a loss in front of anyone in my life, except for this idiot Kong Er. Unfortunately, I, Lao Li, can eat comfortably. I can't find a place to curse my mother."
The brigade commander said: "Other captains, I am going to wish you good luck and receive gifts.
Kong Jie was the only one who took the initiative to give gifts, but he just kept giving them away, and they gave the independent group into a team. After giving it away, the independent group, which was originally poor, became extremely rich.
Let me tell you, this is also an ability. This kid Li Yunlong should learn from it! "
...and Captain Kong Da disagrees with these comments.
In the aggrieved words of Commander Kong, "Who are they? We, Old Kong, were born in the womb and were a real person at heart. We only wanted to make real contributions for our comrades, for our superiors, and to fight against the Japanese."
In the end, it turned out to be the wrong result. How can there be such a reason in the world? "
now.
Kong Da was actually at the headquarters of the first team, using the military simulation sand table to pay close attention to the overall battle situation surrounding the Autumn Harvest Defense War.
The news reported by the communications corps prompted Chief of Staff Xu Guoan to move the small paper flag with a round sun drawn somewhere on the simulated sand table, representing the Japanese military flag, forward a certain distance.
"Old Kong, the current situation of the war is very clear."
"It seems you are right! This little devil has a pretty big appetite. On the one hand, he seems to be heading for the farmland in our base area."
"On the other hand, the Japanese clearly divided the fighting troops into two parts. The front part seemed to be the troops to lure the enemy, and the rear part was used to surround our army."
"Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, has a plan. He not only wants to rob us of the food for the autumn harvest, but also wants to take the opportunity to eliminate the main force of our detachment."
The disdain in Kong Jie's words was not concealed at all: "He wants to eat shit."
When the conversation changed, Kong Jie's eyes focused on another place on the sand table, which were some counties and towns in the rear of the Japanese army. At this moment, small paper flags representing the Eighth Route Army troops were planted and heading towards these counties and towns. Approaching quickly.
"The main force of the three regiments is already close to the combat area. According to the current speed, it will take at least about an hour to reach the Japanese farmland area in the rear without the Japanese army noticing."
"It's only an hour, so let's use the mountains to play hide-and-seek with the little devil."
Xu Guoan said with a smile.
"According to the advancing speed of the Japanese army, it will be an hour before the Japs' vanguard force officially approaches the large farmland area outside us."
"When the Japanese's battle to seize our autumn harvest grain begins, we can also start the battle to seize the Japanese's farmland crops by detouring back to the main force behind the Japanese army."
Speaking of this, Xu Guoan couldn't help but smile on his face, "Old Kong, I can't wait to know now. When he learned that there was a fire in the backyard, will the devil continue to rob our autumn harvest, or will he send his troops back?" Where are the reinforcements for the rear?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Then who knows? In short, inform the local army and militia troops, and make it clear to everyone.
In this Autumn Harvest Defense War, the protagonists are their militia and local army troops. As for whether to eat meat or drink soup, it all depends on your own ability. "
As for the large number of hidden cards a team has.
Kong Jie was not prepared to use it.
One is not needed.
On the other hand, these trump cards are exposed in advance, which may not be a good thing for the May Day raids in the near future.
Time continues to pass...
As the forward troops of the Japanese army approached the target farmland, they suffered an intense ambush from the Eighth Route Army troops.
The Eighth Route Army in the ambush was well-equipped, fierce in firepower, and even more powerful in combat.
This made the Japanese troops advancing along the way feel even more pressure. At the same time, they said that they had definitely encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
From the constant blocking battles of the Eighth Route Army along the way, the Japanese officers at the Japanese command headquarters became more and more certain:
"The reason why the Eighth Route Army attacked so strongly is that they must have sensed our army's intentions and attempted to stop our army's progress and protect the autumn harvest."
This stimulated the Japanese troops even more.
From the experience of fighting the Eighth Route Army in the past, the Japanese commander came to the following conclusion:
The Empire of Japan wanted to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the occupied areas. The most troublesome thing was that it could not locate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and could not force the opponent to start a decisive battle.
Once the important targets in the Eighth Route Army base area are locked, it will definitely force the Eighth Route Army to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Empire of Japan.
For example, in the later stages of the Battle of Shota, the Yamazaki Battalion discovered the location of the Eighth Route Army arsenal in Xiantian, and attracted a large number of main forces of the Eighth Route Army to encircle it.
If the independent regiment's guard company hadn't interfered, the strategy blossomed in the Yamazaki Battalion might have been successful.
"Now we have a set goal, which is a large area of farmland that the Eighth Route Army cannot abandon. Once the crops are harvested, it will be a large amount of food."
"As long as our troops continue to rush towards the farmland, the Eighth Route Army will have no choice but to jump out and fight with our troops."
"At that time, we can entangle the main force of the Eighth Route Army and wait for reinforcements from the rear to encircle the Eighth Route Army."
The puppet troops led by Yan Sanfu, the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the puppet army, were part of the coordinated operations, the Japanese captain Kamechi said confidently.
"Hi! Your Excellency Zhongzuo is wise!"
What else can Yan Sanfu say about this? All I can do is give him a thumbs up and slap him on the back.
The old devil called the map soldiers, and after studying the map, he waved his hand and issued an order:
"Inform the forward troops to change direction and turn west toward the main road area!"
"???"
Yan Sanfu was dumbfounded, "Your Excellency Zhongzuo, the target farmland area is not far away. If we take the main road, wouldn't we have to go around for several kilometers? Why bother to go far away?"
When the old devil returned, he said confidently: "Yan Sanfu, yours is a big lake.
According to the established route, although the distance is the shortest, the mountains along the way are complicated and there must be eight ambushes.
Our army's goal has been set, and the farmland cannot be escaped. We are not worried that the Eighth Route Army will not take the initiative to jump out and start a confrontation with our army.
In this case, our army should seek an area with open terrain suitable for deploying artillery superiority and engaging in a direct confrontation with the Eighth Route Army.
The westbound highway area is the best choice.
If the Eighth Route Army blocks our army in the middle, we will start a battle with the Eighth Route Army and entangle the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
If the Eighth Route Army does not appear, our army can march straight in, all the way to the target farmland area, and seize the Eighth Route Army's autumn harvest grain.
This is the surest way to attack. "
I see.
Yan Sanfu nodded heavily, feeling deeply in his heart that this old devil was indeed difficult to deal with.
But then I thought, it is the Eighth Route Army's business to deal with this Japs. Does it have anything to do with Yan and me?
Yan Sanfu only hoped that this time he would follow the Japanese to get a break, and never fall into the hands of an Eighth Route Army unit or Kong Jie again.
…
The scouts quickly conveyed the news received from the front.
The little devil suddenly changed his route and set off towards the west road.
Hearing this, Chen Ying, the captain of the county brigade, was also quite surprised, "It seems that this little son of a bitch is not in a hurry to attack our farmland. There is obviously the shortest route, but he insists on taking a long way to advance."
"Looking at it like this, they may not be coming towards our farmland. They might even want to take the opportunity to sneak attack one of our teams!"
The cadre on the side said worriedly: "Captain, should we report the news to the headquarters in time?"
Chen Yingle said: "Boy, let's just fight our own battle. We can see the little tricks of the Japanese. Who is our detachment leader? Can he not see the situation?"
"That's true!"
"Okay, our mission this time is to disguise the main force and block the Japanese Japs. Since the Japs have changed their direction of travel, we just follow them."
"Notify each team that we take a small road and intercept the Japanese one step ahead."
"yes!"
After the battle started as scheduled, with the help of the open terrain, the Japanese and puppet troops of the Kamechi brigade did gain the upper hand with their superior artillery fire.
But it was not the one-sided situation Turtle Chi imagined.
Even if it is a confrontation in an open area, it is almost a head-to-head positional battle.
The enemy's Eighth Route Army troops relied on their sophisticated equipment and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, including 50 cannons and 50 mortars, to deploy firepower in all directions.
Although it was not possible to defeat the Turtle Chi Brigade, relying on the fortifications, it also blocked the progress of the Turtle Chi Brigade, making it difficult for the puppet troops of more than 2,000 days to move forward for a while.
"It's so happy, damn, it's so happy!"
The county brigade, which relied on a reverse slope as a defensive fortification, relied on the sophisticated equipment at hand to hold back the Japanese and puppet troops by attacking more with less.
Seeing another wave of Japanese charges being forcibly repelled, Chen Ying, captain of the county brigade, laughed loudly and exclaimed with joy.
Facing the elite Japanese troops four to five times their own.
Dare to start a face-to-face confrontation and a head-on confrontation.
In the past, not to mention local army units like the county brigade, even the field army of the Eighth Route Army would not dare to play this way.
But at this moment, the county brigade led by Chen Ying did it.
The county brigade of nearly 300 people held back the pace of more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in an open position battle.
To the comrades of the county brigade.
The glory of the military arose spontaneously.
This kind of strong self-confidence is quite terrifying for improving the morale of an army.
With this operation to block the Japanese brigade, the entire county brigade will be sublimated, and its combat effectiveness will reach a new level.
This is a mysterious realm, but it is extremely real and reliable.
The two sides continued to fight for more than 20 minutes, and the battle gradually became intense. Both the Turtlechi brigade and the county brigade suffered casualties.
However, relying on its strength advantage, the Turtle Chi Brigade is naturally more capable of withstanding casualties.
After Chen Ying had an insight into the situation, she no longer wanted to fight, and saw that the Japanese army mustered up their strength to launch a general offensive.
He issued the order to retreat in advance and took the initiative to abandon his position.
"The detachment leader said that it doesn't matter the gains or losses of a city or a place, but the final victory. Comrades, withdraw——"
The defending troops receded like the tide.
The Japanese army launched a fierce attack and quickly occupied the anti-slope fortifications originally defended by the county brigade.
Yan Sanfu, who wiped his sweat and trotted up to catch up, flattered the old devil Guichi, "Your Excellency Zhongzuo is so powerful. This Eighth Route Army knows it is no match and has already fled!"
"No!"
The old Japanese turtle, Turtle Chi, shook his head: "It's not an escape, it's more like a strategic turn.
Their evacuation was decent and orderly. We could not even find any corpses of the enemy Eighth Route Army on the fortifications. This shows that the Eighth Route Army retreated calmly.
The commander of the other side is a veteran, whether it is the choice of anti-slope fortifications, the construction of defensive positions, or the deployment of blocking firepower..."
At the end of the sentence, the old devil let out a long sigh:
"The Eighth Route Army's First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi is truly worthy of its reputation! The combat effectiveness of its main force is truly astonishing."
How could this poor old devil know?
What kind of main force is he facing?
It was just a county brigade, so they sent him away.
At this time, similar battles were common in the entire peripheral guerrilla area of a team.
The local army units, including militia units, that blocked the Japanese advance into farmland areas all demonstrated strong combat effectiveness with their sophisticated equipment and solid training during the battle.
It was quite difficult for the Japanese troops to advance every step.
Through the strength displayed by the Eighth Route Army units blocking the attack from all sides and the exchange of fire between the two sides, the news quickly spread to the Japanese rear command headquarters, and the Japanese officers immediately made a judgment:
"According to the overall strength of a team of the Eighth Route Army, at least 80% of the force of a team was used up by the opponent's deployment of interceptions along the way."
..."Xinxi, notify the forward troops to launch the final general attack, and the reserve troops in the rear will immediately launch a large encirclement!"
At this point, the Japanese army, on the one hand, targeted the Eighth Route Army's autumn harvest grain, and on the other hand, attempted to lure the Eighth Route Army into further encirclement and annihilation operations.
From the perspective of the Japanese army, the general trend has been achieved.
The Japanese troops stationed in the headquarters of the First Shanxi Army in Taiyuan City.
The Japanese commander Yoshio Shinozuka, who thought he was sure of victory, issued the highest offensive order.
The Japanese army was divided into multiple directions, and the vanguard troops that marched towards the main twelve farmland areas of the first team's base area immediately advanced rapidly towards the target area, encountered obstructions along the way, and directly launched a fierce attack.
The general battle situation between the two sides quickly entered a fever pitch...
