……

According to Kong Jie's original plan, if the Japanese soldiers split into two routes, they attacked Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang respectively.

Then implement the wolf lure tactic at the same time on both sides to deal with the enemy.

That is, a small part of the combat troops were dispatched, pretending to encounter the attacking Japanese army, and then leading the Japanese troops in Xicun to the Changpo area to fight, and the Japanese troops in Zhangjiazhuang to the low cliff area to fight.

This was the original plan.

As for now, the Japanese army did attack in two directions, but judging from the battle of the Japanese army, the little devil used virtual and real tactics and focused the attack on one of them.

In this way, it is not appropriate to use the wolf lure tactic at the same time.

At present, Kong Jie's judgment on the direction of the Japanese army's attack is that the key attack is on the Zhangjiazhuang Road.

Eventually, at the emergency military meeting, Kong Jie said this:

"The Japanese offensive is divided into priorities, and the defense we are targeting should also be prioritized."

"Once the regimental headquarters made a decision and judged which route the Japanese army would focus on, the fourth and fifth battalions of the Japanese army's feint were responsible, and they no longer practiced the tactic of luring the enemy into depth, but directly used the bunkers on both sides of the mountain road to launch an ambush on the spot, and took the lead in launching the offensive of this campaign."

In other words, since Kong Jie had already judged that the focus of the Japanese army's attack was on the road to Zhangjiazhuang.

Then, dealing with the Japanese army in Zhangjiazhuang is the main defense route of the independent regiment, and dealing with the Japanese puppet army in Xicun is the secondary defense road.

The battalion commanders were given the following orders:

The 4th and 5th Battalions were the first to reach the outskirts of the West Village and engage the Japanese directly along the mountain road.

On this point, Kong Jie conveyed the order to the 4th and 5th battalions: "The 4th and 5th battalions should attack the Japanese troops on the Xicun Road at least half an hour in advance. ”

The reason why he wants to fight like this is that Kong Jie's purpose is actually very clear.

That is, to use actual battles to test their judgment, whether it is right or wrong, and whether the Japanese army's attack on Nishimura is false or real?

If Kong Jie's judgment is correct, then it is easy to say, all the way to attack Xicun, 500 Japanese troops plus 2,000 puppet troops, as soon as the two sides fight, if the 2,000 puppet troops are not impostors, they will immediately show their feet.

That is enough to prove that the focus of the devil's attack is indeed on Zhangjiazhuang.

"And the little devil is not clear about the actual firepower configuration of our independent regiment, once the fourth and fifth battalions take the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese army, after the firepower is exposed, it is very likely that the devil will be mistaken for the main force of our independent regiment.

At that point, the little devils should be proud, and most of them will think that we have been fooled, and that they have made the West Village the focus of their Japanese attack.

This is also the ultimate goal of the little devils to spend such a big battle, to transfer the puppet army and the Japanese army to disguise, and to pass on false information to us through the enemy's engineering department.

And what I want to achieve is to convince the little devil that we are in the middle of the plan.

Because the focus of our counterattack this time is definitely the main attack of the little devils.

Once we try to figure it out, the Japanese puppet army attacking Xicun is the second attack of the Japanese army, and the devil believes that we have been tricked and arranged all the main forces of the independent regiment on Xicun Road, then the next counterattack in Zhangjiazhuang will be of great benefit. ”

……

On the other hand, when the Japanese puppet army walked out of Yangquan County, although Regiment Commander Kong said well, if the independent regiment could be rounded, it would simply not let the new first regiment and the new second regiment take advantage.

However, in fact, after receiving the situation of the Japanese army's advance, Kong Jie still gave the order as soon as possible, and conveyed the situation of the Japanese army's advance to Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang to the new 1st and 2nd regiments through the radio.

New 2nd Regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

Ding Wei immediately sent troops.

The commander of the first battalion, Sun Zhenguo, and others were also full of excitement.

"Commander, the little devil is not in a small battle this time! In order to deal with the independent regiment, we have pulled a wing over, and we have to hurry up to support, otherwise the situation of the independent regiment is not predictable. ”

Ding Wei laughed and said: "Zhenguo, you underestimate Lao Kong's guy, when we are worried about the safety of the independent regiment, maybe Lao Kong's guy is thinking about how to eat alone and swallow the entire Japanese army!" ”

"You can't go in other directions of the station, and you have already let the devils around Taigu and Zhangzhuang be stared at to death."

"In order to ensure the attack of the Ishii Wing on the Independent Regiment, the little devil arranged troops in advance to prevent us from supporting the Independent Regiment."

"Then we can only use the hidden mountain transportation channel opened up by our new regiment to the independent regiment."

"Through this transportation channel, in about three hours, we can reach the vicinity of Zhangjiazhuang."

Sun Zhenguo said: "Commander, I have also walked through this mountain road transportation channel, I have to say that Captain Kong is really a talent, and he can think of this method."

In the mountainous area, we can use the sleepers obtained when picking up the railway in advance to pave a transportation channel, which can not only point out the shortest road and ensure that we do not get lost, but also help us to use simple means of transportation such as Dulong cars and bicycles to carry baggage. ”

"If this is a regular mountain road, if we think of Zhangjiazhuang, I am afraid it will take more than five hours."

"Now that I have this transportation channel, I have saved at least two hours of time, and this passage is hidden enough that the little devil can't even think of it."

Ding Wei agreed: "That's true, as long as this secret transportation channel is not destroyed, the defense of the three regiments of our Iron Triangle can be said to be impregnable, how can it be shaken by just one devil wing?" ”

"Zhenguo, in this way, let's lead the team through the transportation channel, and after arriving near Zhangjiazhuang, we don't need to reinforce the independent regiment from the front, just give me a detour back to the rear of the independent regiment and the Japanese army, and cut off the devil's retreat for me."

Sun Zhenguo was stunned and said: "Regiment commander, do you absolutely believe that the independent regiment can withstand the attack of the Japanese army from the front?" ”

Ding Wei said confidently: "I don't know if others can do it, Lao Kong, this kid will definitely be able to do it, just do it!" ”

"Yes!"

……

……

New 2nd Regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"Damn, okay, the opportunity to eat meat has finally come, I've been waiting for this day for almost two months."

Li Yunlong's loud voice spread in the regiment headquarters.

"Commander, how many soldiers should we bring over?" Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, asked.

Li Yunlong didn't think about it, and said: "Pull the two main battalions of the first battalion and the second battalion to Lao Tzu." ”

Political commissar Zhao Gang was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lao Li, this is too much, let's support through the secret transportation channel, the soldiers are fine, not the many, and the garrison also needs to ensure defense, so you can't be so nonsense." ”

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Lao Zhao, our Lao Li has always been kind to repay kindness and revenge, not long ago, Lao Kong gave the 135th Regiment of the recalcitrant army to our new 2nd Regiment, otherwise where did the guns and ammunition in our regiment come from?" ”

"I don't want to owe this favor, if we bring fewer soldiers, we will be laughed at by Lao Kong's kid."

"In this way, temporarily reorganize a battalion into a reinforced battalion and bring 400 elites over."

Zhao Gang nodded, "Okay!" ”

"Lao Zhao, the defense in that regiment can be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, Lao Li, I'm not as good as you in terms of offense, but it's still okay if it's just defense."

"Good!"

With Zhao Gang here, Li Yunlong completely put his mind at ease, and after quickly making arrangements, he immediately ordered a reinforced battalion of troops to march in the direction of Xicun through the secret transportation channel in the mountainous area.

In this way, Kong Jie's two strongest support teams set off.

……

……

In the mountainous area in the middle of Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, Kazuki Yamamoto led his special team of more than 80 people and continued to march in the direction of Niukou Village, avoiding some guerrilla units of the Eighth Route Army again and again on the way.

Speaking of the more than 80 people of the special team in front of him, in fact, they were added later, and the original team of the special forces was only about 30 people.

Why is it so miserable?

The secret service team has lost more than 60 elite people in Kong Jie's hands.

Even the First Reserve of the Special Forces of the prisoner of war camp was washed in blood by Kong Jie.

Therefore, the special team in front of me, although it is still the Yamamoto special team, and the strength is no different from the original at first glance, but the actual combat effectiveness has actually been weakened a lot compared to the original special team.

Later, the members who were added to the special forces team were still deficient in the training of special operations.

Every time he thinks of this, Yamamoto Kazuki grits his teeth with hatred, all of this is due to the independent group and Kong Jie.

As for whether the shame can be washed away, it depends on the present.

……

……

Two kilometers outside the village of Xicun.

This place is actually not far from the long slope area.

Lei Dasheng, commander of the fourth battalion, and Du Aiguo, commander of the fifth battalion, arrived ahead of schedule with their troops in accordance with Kong Jie's order, and immediately ordered the engineers to lay a minefield every 200 meters on the road, and planted five minefields.

In order to ensure that the devils are in the midst of the battle, they continue to forcibly break through to the West Village.

As for the combat order issued by Kong Jie, the two battalion commanders also saw it thoroughly.

Lei Dasheng said: "I hope the regiment commander's judgment is correct, the devil's attack on the West Village is just a bluff." ”

Du Aiguo agreed: "Yes, after all, according to the order of the regiment commander, our key defense has been deployed on the road to Zhangjiazhuang, if we make a mistake at this time, I am afraid that we will be very passive in the future." ”

"I can't care so much, Lao Du, we understand the regiment commander's thoughts, he wants our two battalions to attack in advance, and try to find out whether the way to attack Xicun in front of him is the main force of the Japanese army, then we can only start fighting first." Lei Dasheng said.

Du Aiguo nodded in response: "Okay!" ”

As for how to fight, the two battalion commanders quickly discussed countermeasures.

The specific combat plan was commanded by the two battalion commanders, and the regiment commander Kong Jie would only issue combat orders in a major way.

"The devil is now less than a kilometer away from us, and according to the situation from the vanguard reconnaissance force, the devil has also arranged a lot of scouts on both sides of the way, advancing all the way.

This little devil is very cautious, and it is not reliable for us to want to lurk silently on both sides of the mountain road and suddenly launch a sneak attack. ”

How to fight?

Lei Dasheng said: "Lao Du, it's better to be like this, I led half a battalion, only carrying some light weapons, took the lead to meet it, directly defeated the devil's reconnaissance force, and then took the initiative to fire at the Japanese puppet army." ”

"Knock out all the devil's reconnaissance troops first."

"Then I'll pretend to be defeated and flee, and lure the devil forward to the minefield where we are."

"The next ambush of the main force is placed on both sides of the minefield, between the second and third minefields."

"The main artillery fire on your side is in the rear, don't attack for the time being, and wait until the Japanese puppet army steps into the ambush circle, and then we will start the final decisive battle."

"Good!" Du Aiguo responded.

In this way, Lei Dasheng and Du Aiguo divided into two ways.

Lei Dasheng led half a battalion of troops, through the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road, quickly detoured forward, prepared to carry out the previous battle plan, and took the initiative to attack the Japanese army.

On the other side, Du Aiguo deployed troops on the spot within 200 meters to the left and right of the second and third minefields.

"The most effective means of striking a condescending ambush is fire coverage."

"The front line on both sides, the first echelon of operations, the ambush distance is arranged within fifty meters, and the grenades are thrown condescendingly, which is definitely enough to get the Japanese puppet army that steps into the ambush circle."

"This is a close-range bomb throwing group fire coverage, a total of 100 bomb teams on both sides, five grenades per person, this is 500 grenades, enough for a little devil to drink a pot."

"The combat distance of the second-echelon combat unit is about 100 meters to 150 meters, and it consists of light and heavy machine gun fire, as well as rifle fire."

"In addition, our explosives bag thrower can easily throw a ten-kilogram explosive package to a distance of more than 100 meters, and it is also arranged in the second echelon.

"The third echelon after that is composed of our grenadier firepower, which can eliminate the light and heavy machine guns and grenadier firepower of the Japanese puppet army under the mountain road at any time."

"In addition, the howitzer artillery battery supports our Xicun Road this time, just a few hundred meters away, and after the forward artillery observer locks the position of the Japanese puppet army, he will pass the target coordinate point back through the flag at any time, and the artillery company will provide long-range artillery support."

After this series of arrangements, after Du Aiguo checked and filled in the gaps, he found that there was nothing wrong.

I can't help but feel a little confident in my heart.

Even if the attack on the West Village is the key offensive road of the devils, then the 2000 puppet army is really disguised by the devils, so what?

With the firepower configuration prepared by the 4th and 5th battalions, it can still fight with one.

Du Aiguo, who gave orders in an orderly manner, also felt a little emotional in his heart.

Half a year ago, he was the commander of the First Regiment of the North China Public Security Army, a dog traitor that everyone shouted and beaten.

Who would have thought that today, he would be able to stand here, calmly commanding a major battle that was about to break out?

He didn't know himself anymore, not only himself, he didn't know the puppet soldiers of the first regiment of the North China Public Security Army.

Since joining the Eighth Route Army, these brothers have shown unprecedented courage and determination.

Everyone is living happily here, and it is a feeling of complete solidity.

"Battalion commander, wait for the battle to start, let's still have the old rules, is the important point of attack on the Japanese army?" The commander of the seventeenth company asked.

Du Aiguo said, "When the battle starts, carry out indiscriminate attacks, and once it is determined that the more than 2,000 puppet troops are indeed puppet troops, the focus will be shifted to the Japanese army."

As for these puppet troops, after all, they are Chinese, and their combat effectiveness is not very good, and after killing the devils, most of these guys will choose to surrender.

It also saves us more wasted work. ”

Du Aiguo knows the psychology of the puppet soldiers very well.

"Yes!"
