405 Spring Sweep

After the monk relayed Kong Jie's words to the third platoon leader.

The straightforward third-platoon commander was a little stupid, "Company commander, no, it means, the girl is really a reporter from Jinnan, not a spy?" ”

The monk said: "That's the case, but the head of the regiment means to protect this Shen reporter, and take care of her by the way, you can't let her run around, the devil is really going to fight, and when the time comes, you have to let this Shen reporter and the masses move together." ”

"Arrange a good place for someone to live, specially arrange two comrades to protect her, and you can also take her around in a suitable place."

"Yes!" The third platoon commander nodded, changed his words, and asked, "Company commander, what is the right place?" ”

The monk was speechless and said: "Use your brains more, such as the living conditions of the villagers around us, such as how we usually contact the villagers, some training in the army, and some education classes for the soldiers, these can be seen by Reporter Shen."

The regiment commander said that with the presence of reporter Shen, he could convey the heroic image of how our independent regiment resisted Japan behind enemy lines.

And some things, such as the specific firepower arrangement of our team, our repair station, and our explosives factory, don't let Reporter Shen know, understand? ”

"Understood!" The third platoon commander understood.

……

Regiment headquarters.

Kong Jie called some cadres of the district squad, plus the militia captains of the villages.

At the meeting, Kong Jie said solemnly, "Comrades, little devils are inhumane, when Nanjing City was broken, that tragedy, I think everyone should still remember." ”

"A few days ago, our independent regiment and the Shijing Wing fought in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang, severely damaged the Shijing United, and eliminated more than 1,300 devils, which is a big feud, plus I secretly sent people to blow up the hospital in the county town of the devil, and blew up the medicine they hoarded, resulting in the wounded soldiers of the devils, and many of them died."

"Think about it, with the ferocious nature of the little devil, such a big revenge, will they not revenge?"

"So after you go back, you must do your ideological work and the villagers in each village, don't take chances, once the little devil enters the village, he will not treat everyone as a human being, he will not take his life seriously, and it is possible to burn, kill, and plunder when the time comes."

"Therefore, our comrades must take responsibility, and after receiving the news of the devil's approach to the village in advance, we must follow our usual evacuation drill for the villagers, organize the villagers to bring food, livestock, and property, quickly move to a safe mountainous area, and wait until the devils have completely left before returning to the village."

"Comrades of the militia who remained, don't put the battlefield to block the enemy in the field, just put it in the village, use the defense construction of the village to deal with the devils, make good use of all kinds of mines and traps we have at hand, but don't be reckless, once the devils enter the village in large numbers, you will immediately retreat, as for the village, we can take it back if we lose it."

"Yes!"

The cadres of the district squad responded to the militia captains.

……

Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, was drawing up a battle plan for the spring sweep with his staff officers on a map of the northwest area of Shanxi.

"This time, the General Headquarters of the North China Front Army formulated a spring sweep against the anti-Japanese base areas in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area of the Eighth Route Army, intending to completely smash the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area.

In response to the order of General Tada Jun, commander-in-chief of the North China Front, our First Army prepared to launch a sweep against the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area on the morning of the 12th.

Previously, around the counties surrounding the area of activity of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi Province, Taiyuan, Ping'an County, Zhangzhuang, Taigu, Tan County, Shouyang, Yangquan and other counties, they secretly actively raised troops and hoarded military rations for the sweeping troops.

At that time, the sweeping forces will mainly be dispatched from the three directions of Taiyuan, Yangquan, and Taigu, and it is expected that three brigades and regiments, plus various units of the Imperial Cooperative Army, will be dispatched with a total of more than 20,000 people to launch a large-scale sweep of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Hearing the news, the Japanese officers in the conference room were sitting in a precarious position, and the chief of staff of the First Army, Kitagawa Ayumi, said:

"General, the base area where the Eighth Route Army is located has a long mountainous area and a huge strategic depth area, and if our army wants to complete the sweep of the base area of the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it in a short period of time."

"The officers and men of our army should prepare at least five days' rations, and on the way, they should take local materials and replenish the military rations of the troops through the capture of various Chinese villages along the way."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and agreed: "What Kitagawa-kun said is reasonable, in addition, with the implementation of the three-light policy this time, the Eighth Route Army can be rampant in the occupied area of our Great Japanese Empire to this day, aren't they relying on the large and small villages around the base area, as well as those Chinese Diao people who are unwilling to become obedient citizens of our Great Japanese Empire?" Since this is the case, all the villages on which the Eighth Route Army relied will be uprooted.

Leave the desolate mountainous areas to their Eighth Route Army, and then use the cage policy to blockade them, perhaps without the help of our empire, these activities in the mountainous areas of the Eighth Route Army themselves will starve to death. ”

Hahaha –

Yoshio Shinozuka said it humorously, and the devil officers couldn't help but laugh.

Then talking about the specific operational deployment, Yoshio Shinozuka directly pointed out the Iron Triangle in the northwest of the Eighth Route Army:

"Near Yangquan, the base area of Niukou Village, that is, the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, near Ping'an County is the new second regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the new regiment near Zhangzhuang and Taikoo, these three regiments are known as the Iron Triangle of Northwest Shanxi.

It is the gateway where the base of the Eighth Route Army is located, and the implementation of this sweep must start with these three regiments.

Don't underestimate these three Eighth Route Army-level combat ranks, as far as we know from our intelligence, the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army can be said to be the elite of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area.

Especially this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, what it has done during this period of time should be familiar to everyone.

Just a few days ago, Ishii United, teamed up with the Secret Service, and was also defeated by the Independence Regiment. ”

At the meeting, Ishii Haraichi was also there, and Yoshio Shinozuka said this, Ishii Haraichi's old face was naturally a little unbearable, and he immediately got up and replied: "General, the shame of Zhangjiazhuang and Xichong, if Ishii does not report it, he swears not to be a man, this time I ask you to hand over the independent regiment to our wing to be responsible, and our department will definitely uproot the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army." ”

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said, "Yoshi, be ashamed and brave, this is the true character of a soldier, this time the independent regiment will ask Ishii-kun."

In addition, the 4th Brigade will be mixed into the Independent Regiment, which will simultaneously coordinate your attack on the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment. ”

"Ishii-kun, Yamaguchi-kun, I hope the two of you can work together to destroy the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Jin in one fell swoop and suppress the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army."

"Hey!"

The Japanese army wing commander Ishii Haraichi and the Japanese army independently mixed into the fourth brigade, and the brigade commander Yamaguchi Shubi, responded in unison.

After the battle meeting, Yoshio Shinozuka left Ishii Haraichi and Yamaguchi Shubi alone.

"Ishii-kun, Yamaguchi-kun, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of the Eighth Route Army is the gateway to the base of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang region, and this battle is very important for our army.

If the two of you can quickly defeat this iron triangle and win the first battle, and the Eighth Route Army's base gate is lost, the army will definitely be in turmoil.

This will be very beneficial for our future sweep plans.

The Eighth Route Army did not even dare to confront our Great Japanese Empire head-on.

But if you can't defeat the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the first place, or even delay the pace of the march by them, our main force will be blocked out of the portal, and we will not be able to besiege the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area.

In this way, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will have considerable space in depth and can adjust its strength, which will be extremely unfavorable to the subsequent sweep of our department, and will even lead to the failure of this sweep.

I want both of you to understand what's at stake. ”

"Hey!" Ishii and Yamaguchi answered the road.

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "In addition, in order to assist you in quickly defeating the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, considering that this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army is the core of this Iron Triangle, and it is also the strongest of the three regiments.

Before the official start of the war, I will arrange bombers to take the lead in bombing the base area of the independent regiment, and after that, you can also get air support at any time during the operation of the two units against the Iron Triangle.

The command does not hesitate to use a big price, I just hope that the two of you can live up to the trust and destroy the three regiments of the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. ”

"Hi, please rest assured, Your Excellency!"

Ishii and Yamaguchi replied solemnly.

……

……

11th, 3 p.m.

Wang An, head of the enemy engineering department of the Independent Regiment, hurried to the regiment headquarters and reported the situation to Kong Jie.

"Regiment leader, the devil's action in preparing for the sweep this time is very big, we have received news from the devil's county, and after comprehensive analysis, the devil's sweep should be tomorrow."

"Got it, keep an eye on it, once the devil's sweep starts, when and where it goes, these messages must not be interrupted." Kong Jie said.

"Yes!"

……

"Combo Platoon Assemble!"

Kong Jie was at the regiment headquarters, and after assembling the communications platoon, he issued an order: "Everyone should take action immediately, notify us of the major villages on the periphery of the territory, and let the militia comrades cover the transfer of the villagers to the mountainous area in the rear in time."

Let's just say that the news has been confirmed, and the Japanese army will launch a sweep on the 12th.

Let the villagers prepare in advance, try to take away all the food and other important materials in the village, and do not leave a grain of food for the little devil. ”

"Yes!"

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Kong Jie convened an emergency military meeting, at which he got straight to the point: "The time for the devils to launch a sweep has been determined, and tomorrow, all battalions can immediately take action." ”

"The 1st Battalion, the 2nd Battalion, and the 3rd Battalion set off in the evening today, marching in the mountains and forests in a concealed manner, and arrived at the designated position to lurk and wait for the opportunity before the Japanese sweeping forces advanced."

"Yes!"

"The fourth battalion immediately launched various defensive arrangements around the village, preparing to deal with the troops of the Japanese army coming to sweep away."

"Yes!"

"Lao Du, the fifth battalion is responsible for arranging cadres, assisting the militia comrades, and organizing the people to evacuate in advance."

"We must ensure that the evacuation of all the villagers is completed before the Japanese army's sweeping forces reach the villages, and only our main combat forces and militia units can be left in the villages."

"Yes!"

"The specific combat missions of each battalion are arranged below......"

……

"Reporter Shen, I'm sorry, you can't go in, the regiment commander is holding a military meeting in the house!"

Outside the courtyard, the monk stopped Shen Wenyue.

said that Shen Wenyue was temporarily detained by Kong Jie that day.

Later, the monk really took the newspaper of the Anti-Japanese National Newspaper and found the article written by Shen Wenyue to verify Shen Wenyue's identity.

As a result, Shen Wenyue was really able to memorize the articles she had written, or even memorize them silently.

At this moment, the monk believed that this was really a Shen reporter.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Reporter Shen, our head of the regiment asked me to come over to confirm your identity this time, and now I can confirm it, you are really Reporter Shen."

At that time, Shen Wenyue asked, "Now that I'm sure I'm not a spy, when can I meet Head Kong?" ”

The monk was curious: "What do you see our head doing?" ”

Shen Wenyue said: "Commander Kong is a hero who resists Japan, in fact, I have wanted to interview Commander Kong since a very early age, but I have never been able to find the opportunity.

Especially in the battle between your independent regiment and the Ishii wing of the Japanese army not long ago, I would like to know the specific process and how Commander Kong commanded it? ”

"That's too unfortunate, now I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to see our head of the regiment." The monk shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because you came at the wrong time, we received news that the devil is likely to launch a large-scale sweep of our Eighth Route Army base in the next two days.

The head of the regiment is busy dealing with the devil's sweep these days, and I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. The monk explained.

Shen Wenyue's face was full of excitement, "Great! ”

"Okay?"

"Yes, I've actually always been very curious, how did your Eighth Route Army troops deal with the sweeps of the Japanese army again and again in such a harsh environment behind enemy lines, and then grow step by step to the current situation? It just so happened that I encountered the devil's sweep this time, and maybe I can unlock the secret. ”

Monk: "......"

"Then you slowly solve it, just say okay, the head of the regiment doesn't have time to see you for the time being, and we will arrange someone to protect you, as long as you don't run around, it's okay to take a look at our base casually."

"Well, thank you, Company Commander Wei!"

……

Back in front of him, Shen Wenyue, accompanied by the two soldiers who were responsible for protecting him, wandered around the base area, and just arrived at the regiment headquarters, he wanted to come in to have a look, and then was blocked by the monk outside the courtyard.

"The military council, it's the military council to deal with this big sweep, right?"

Stopped by the monk, Shen Wenyue was not in a hurry to go in, and asked excitedly.

The monk nodded.

"Company Commander Wei, how much do you know about the upcoming sweep by the Japanese army? Can you tell me about it? ”

Monk: "......"

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything."

The monk has a headache now, this girl is a talker, and she especially likes to get to the bottom of it, just these few meetings, the monk practiced martial arts in the Shaolin Temple before, and later joined the national army, and then was rescued by Kong Jie from the prisoner of war camp and joined the independent regiment, all these things let Shen Wenyue go out.

The monk was afraid that he would continue to talk to Shen Wenyue again, so don't leak any military secrets of the independent regiment......
