Niukou Village, where the Independent Regiment was stationed.

On the morning of the 25th, a group of cadres attended a military meeting at the regiment headquarters and were instructed by Kong Jie to attack everywhere with a combat unit no more than the company level in guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and ambush warfare, in retaliation for the retaliatory sweep launched by the Japanese army against the independent regiment not long ago.

After the battalion and company commanders returned to their respective camps, they immediately held a corresponding meeting and issued corresponding operational arrangements.

This local skirmish-scale operation was finally defined by the commanders of each company as: the counterattack of the independent regiment in retaliation for the Japanese sweep.

If the little devil dares to sweep the base area of our independent regiment, our independent regiment will dare to launch a counteroffensive to retaliate against your little devil, this is the courage of the independent regiment.

The counterattack of the various units was like an explosion that was triggered outward, and after it quickly extended, the law and order stability of the large and small strongholds, villages and towns that had been surrounding the Japanese army around the roots of the independent regiment were soon severely impacted.

If you look down from God's point of view.

The guerrilla theater of operations, which originally belonged to a separate regiment, was rapidly expanded.

The combat units of the companies under the independent regiment, some of which used platoons as combat units, and some even used squads as combat units, rapidly expanded outward in the guerrilla zone, targeting some small and medium-sized Japanese strongholds on the periphery.

The large and small strongholds built by the Japanese army relying on highway lines and railway lines were originally used to implement the cage policy and oppress the living space of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past, relying on the defense of the stronghold built, coupled with the defense of the artillery tower, the Eighth Route Army, which had backward blocking equipment and scarce ammunition, would naturally have enough to attack the fortified artillery at hand.

But now, the little devil is dealing with the troops of the Independent Regiment.

That's not enough to see.

In some small strongholds, there are very few devils, sometimes less than a squad of troops, and even more puppet troops.

The turrets built, as well as the various buildings in the stronghold, were originally only used to defend against the backward equipment of the Tuba Road, but they were only built with brick and stone structures, how could they withstand the bombardment of some fortified artillery?

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, who have long been different from what they used to be, naturally do not have to suffer from the devil's stronghold.

You don't even have to wait until night, since it's a bold counterattack, it has to be rampant enough, that is, in broad daylight, when you little devils and puppet soldiers think it's impossible, we take the flat-fire artillery that attacks the fortifications, and directly besiege your stronghold.

Boom –

The cannonballs fired even went through the machine gun holes of the devil's turret, and with a bang, the cannonballs that exploded from the inside were even more powerful, directly destroying the masonry turret.

Under the threat of fortified artillery, this turret, which was originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, now in turn restricts the movement and movement of the Japanese puppet army, a bit like a cage, trapping them completely in it.

All the warriors need to do is catch the turtle in the urn.

In this case, the soldiers sent propaganda officers to persuade the devils and puppet troops in the stronghold to surrender.

The devils are not afraid of death, but the puppet army wants to live, and the two sides have contradictions, and sometimes they even face each other with knives and guns.

The fighters took the opportunity to capture the turret in one fell swoop.

From the afternoon of the 25th, the troops of the Independent Regiment quickly surrounded all the Japanese strongholds, large and small, like a tidal wave spreading out, and had the momentum of uprooting all the Japanese strongholds in one fell swoop.

The local comrades of the independent regiment in the surrounding districts and county brigades, as well as the militia and guerrillas in various villages, responded one after another and cooperated with the counteroffensive of the independent regiment.

Of course, the targets that Kong Jie ordered for the local comrades and guerrillas were easier to deal with, mainly some puppet troops in the villages, as well as traitorous organizations such as the Maintenance Association.

Under the cover of the counteroffensive, the various units cooperated with the militia comrades in the villages to quickly build a defensive offensive in the villages.

The villagers responded positively, helping the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to dig tunnels and set traps in the village, preparing to use these tunnels to fight tunnel warfare with devils.

As for some villages that are closer to the counties and towns of the Japanese army.

The Independent Regiment will first send propaganda officers to infiltrate secretly, get in touch with the local militia comrades, and communicate with the local villagers.

After gaining the support of the villagers against the Japanese, they further dug tunnels and laid the village fortifications.

This step was easier than the propaganda cadres of the Independent Regiment imagined.

The reason is very simple, in this spring sweep, the devils returned defeated, and they were counterattacked all the way by the independent regiment and fled back to the county seat.

Having witnessed the courage of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the people are more full of hope for the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan.

……

Niukou Village.

At the headquarters of the Independent Youth League, Kong Jie was receiving more than a dozen village chiefs from the surrounding villages.

The two sides have been talking for more than 10 minutes.

Kong Jie said with emotion: "Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say too much, everyone's deep understanding of righteousness, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of our Eighth Route Army troops!" ”

The old village chief of Longwo Village said: "Commander Kong, when you say this, you will see the outside, the Eighth Route Army is our own army, you risk your lives to kill devils and protect the villagers, the villagers don't see it, they all remember it in their hearts!" ”

The old village chief's words were full of gratitude: "This time the devils launched a sweep, if it weren't for our Eighth Route comrades who passed the news in advance and covered the evacuation of our people all the way, the villagers are afraid that they would have suffered a disaster." ”

"Just rush this, we don't dare to guarantee anything else, as long as the comrades of our independent regiment want to kill devils and use the place of our fellow villagers, we will fully cooperate!"

"Yes, yes! Old village chief, then let us work together with the Eighth Route Army and our fellow villagers to eliminate the little devils! "Kong Jiedao.

"Destroy the little devils—"

At a glance, the old village chiefs, who were basically over half a hundred years old, responded with emotion.

After a change of words, Kong Jie continued: "Old village chiefs, there is one more thing I have to explain to you. ”

"At present, the general environment is still that the enemy is strong and we are weak, although we can carry out tunnel warfare and guerrilla warfare in the village, it is difficult to stop the large-scale attack of the Japanese army."

"The villagers live in the village, the village can't be moved, and if the Japanese puppet army suddenly launches a surprise attack, we may not have time to deal with it."

"Once the villagers help us and are caught by the Japanese army, I'm afraid it will be ......"

A group of old village chiefs have been here for decades, what ups and downs haven't they experienced?

As soon as Kong Jie spoke, the old village chiefs knew what Chief Kong was worried about.

An old village chief smiled quite confidently: "Head Kong, please rest assured of this, we old bones, we don't have the ability to kill devils, but we still have the ability to fool little devils." ”

"Let's talk about paying taxes and food! When the time comes, the little devils will send traitors into the village to collect grain, but can the grain saved by our villagers be eaten by the little devils? Of course not, this is anti-Japanese food for our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"The day before the food is ready, we will inform our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and our comrades will take the opportunity to go to the village, eliminate the puppet army traitors in the village, and then take the grain away, and our side will immediately send people to the county seat to report to the devils."

"But this road is not close, there is always a delay on the road, and when the devils come over, our soldiers will shoot a few more casually, and the little devils will not dare to enter the village, so they can only watch the food being snatched away by our comrades of the Eighth Route Army.

It's no wonder that our folks, it's his little devil who can't protect himself, and we can still complain on the one hand, and ask the little devil for a reward for reporting the news! ”

Another village chief answered, "The little devil can't catch our handle, and he won't deal with us easily, after all, the devil still needs us to farm and pay military rations for them." ”

"But the little devil wants to ask for food from us, how can it be so easy? In the face of the devil's requisition for grain, let's just say one word, delay, drag down all kinds of methods, and drag it until our comrades from the Eighth Route Army arrive to transfer the grain. ”

……

……

"Isn't it just a little devil and a puppet army, those white dogs, Japanese soldiers, puppet soldiers, bandits, there are too many to count, tossing back and forth in the village, didn't we still survive?"

More than a dozen old village chiefs said one by one, and Kong Jie on the side was a little dumbfounded.

Good guys, worthy of the wisdom of the older generation, these old village chiefs fooled the little devils one by one, and all kinds of means were really endless.

Kong Jie even suspected that if he was a little devil, he would have to be stunned.

Kong Jie put his mind at ease, and while sighing at the survival wisdom of these old village chiefs, he said:

"Please rest assured, the old village chief, our Eighth Route Army will never let the villagers fight alone, there will be our militia comrades in each village, as well as the comrades of the armed engineering team that we have arranged to operate behind the enemy line, these comrades will be used as a military force to support the village at any time, stay behind the enemy line, and use it to fight or eliminate the Japanese puppet organization, so as to consolidate our power in the village."

"In the future, some two-faced regimes will be gradually established, and there will be a puppet army that secretly surrenders as a countermeasure, as long as there are no major mistakes, there should be no major problems in our villages."

……

Then, after discussing the problems of some villages dealing with the Japanese puppet army with the old village chiefs, Kong Jie personally sent more than a dozen old village chiefs away from the base area.

After sending the old village chiefs away and turning his head to see the monk, Kong Jie remembered something and asked, "Monk, where is Reporter Shen now?" ”

The monk replied: "Regiment leader, it seems that we are in the guerrilla zone on the periphery!" ”

"What are you going to do there?" Kong Jiehu was suspicious, "Monk, didn't I let you look at Reporter Shen?" ”

The monk said aggrievedly: "Leader, you are asking me to look at Reporter Shen, but you also said that as long as Reporter Shen can go, you can't restrict Reporter Shen's personal freedom." ”

"The guerrilla zone is where people want to go by themselves, saying that they want to shoot the situation of our Eighth Route Army fighting and fighting against the Japanese puppet army on the spot, as a report material for propaganda and anti-Japanese resistance."

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Forget it, being a reporter is just this urine, where is the excitement, and he is not even afraid of death, if this Shen Wenyue really dies on the front line......"

"Commander, then you don't have to die of distress?" The monk came over and said with a wicked smile, "But please rest assured, Reporter Shen has already arranged for a good brother to protect him." ”

Kong Jiedeng scolded: "You kid, now you dare to arrange me, come and come, just take advantage of nothing to do, let's practice again, say okay, don't fight back." ”

Monk: "......"

After practicing with the monk for a while, sweating profusely, and completely refreshed, Kong Jie thought about the arrangements in his conference room and checked and filled in the gaps.

In accordance with Kong Jie's instructions, all companies and platoons have expanded to the periphery of the guerrilla zone and launched sneak attacks on the small and medium-sized strongholds of the Japanese army through local guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, and ambush warfare.

In addition, the special operations units directly under the commando units, sniper platoons, bomb throwing groups, and other regiments are dispatched to various companies and platoons to cooperate in operations.

Needless to say, the sniper platoon continued to trap the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold with sniper group tactics, so that the Japanese puppet army did not dare to leave the stronghold easily and support the surrounding strongholds.

Under Ye Min's arrangement, the assault team specially set up an artillery raid team, using 50 small cannons to cooperate with snipers to attack the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold, as well as the devil troops who dared to leave the county.

Under the leadership of Wang Gensheng, the bombing team is gradually transforming.

The members were equipped with grenade projectiles, which they easily threw grenade-like grenades to a distance of about 150 meters when they saw them for the first time.

Wang Gensheng realized that if the bombing group did not transform, it was very likely that it would be directly replaced by this kind of projectile.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng applied to Kong Jie for a grenade projectile, equipped with team members, and gave them special training.

At close range, the fighters still threw grenades to allow for quick fire, and at further distances they were covered by grenade fire.

The entire bombing team seems to have been built into a mobile battery.

This is one of the tactics that Wang Gensheng has studied.

In addition, inspired by the guard company's response to the Ishii Wing, Wang Gensheng also developed various tactics for gun grenades to quickly clear enemy trenches and fortifications with submachine guns and shell guns.

Finally, the comrades of the cavalry company led by Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian.

On the one hand, it is gradually transforming from a cavalry unit to a mechanized composite corps.

On the other hand, the comrades of the cavalry company cooperated with the platoons of each company and borrowed the high-speed maneuver of the cavalry to quickly intersperse detours, raiding and ambushing the Japanese puppet army in all directions.

Under the uncanny means, the devil puppet army troops were beaten bitterly, but whenever they left the county, whether it was a transport team or a small group of combat troops, they didn't know when they would be ambushed on the way.

The ambushed troops had fierce fire, strong artillery fire, and fierce attacks.

In addition, the use of quick and decisive play, can be eaten quickly, clean up the battlefield, and then evacuate in time, after the sneak attack that can't be eaten is successful, in the blink of an eye, relying on the surrounding terrain and features disappeared without a trace.

All that was left for the devils and puppet soldiers was a corpse and a heart full of fear.

By the 28th, many small strongholds had been uprooted, sections of railroad tracks had disappeared, roads and bridges had been bombed, and the maintenance associations of the surrounding villages, large and small, had been destroyed by the blows.

The Japanese finally realized that this was the revenge of the independent regiment......
