As soon as Kong Jie explained this, the cadres immediately came back to their senses.

Shen Quan said with a smile: "Regiment leader, I understand, the county town is fake, the ambush is secret, and the reinforcements to fight the devil are real, which means a bit of encirclement and reinforcement, Ping'an County is this point." ”

"I understand it very thoroughly." Kong Jie praised.

Li Wenjie said: "Regiment Leader, if you say so, it sounds like it is feasible to attack the county seat." ”

"First of all, the point of Ping'an County, we only need to pretend to go all out to take Ping'an County, and most of the surrounding devil reinforcements will come to reinforce."

"Now, the main force of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi has gone to Zhongtiao Mountain again, and when the devil has no main force, other counties do not dare to reinforce too many troops in order to ensure their own defense strength."

"The devil took the initiative to leave the county for reinforcements, and on the way, he gave us the opportunity to secretly ambush and send reinforcements."

Du Aiguo, the commander of the fifth battalion, asked coldly, "The political commissar has analyzed it very well, but the Japanese army is not stupid, most of them will guess our intentions, what if the devil sees Ping'an County being attacked by us, and he doesn't send reinforcements?" ”

Kong Jie said categorically: "If the devil really doesn't increase the number of people, then he will fake the show and do it really, and directly knock down Ping'an County." ”

"In a battle, take all the resources hoarded by the Japanese army in Ping'an County, and we won't lose this battle."

Du Aiguo stopped talking.

Since the head of the regiment has the courage to think of this stubble a long time ago, then there is no problem.

Kong Jie said: "Of course, our main purpose is to ambush and send reinforcements. ”

"If we really hit the county seat, the scale will be difficult to control, which will exceed our pre-war estimates, and it is still in the stage of strategic stalemate, and taking the initiative to attack the county seat of the devil seems to have won the battle locally, but it may not be a good thing in terms of the overall situation."

"However, it is unlikely that the devil will watch Ping'an County be beaten down by us."

"With the arrogance of the Japanese army, they will never be allowed to be in the occupied area and be taken down by our Eighth Route Army troops."

"This is a conspiracy, even if the Japanese know that we may send reinforcements halfway, they will definitely send reinforcements."

"In the final analysis, under the premise of falsely attacking Ping'an County, it is impossible for us to eat all the reinforcements of the Japanese army, as long as a certain amount of reinforcements arrive in Ping'an County, we can immediately relieve the crisis in Ping'an County."

The cadres nodded their heads one after another.

Wang Leihu said: "Regiment leader, you can give the order directly!" ”

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about the combat missions of each battalion." ”

Kong Jie got up, a group of cadres followed behind, and after coming to the sand table map in the outer hall, Kong Jie instructed on the map: "Judging from the current situation, once we start to attack Ping'an County, the reinforcements of the Japanese army rushing to Ping'an County mainly include these ways.

One is the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Taigu, the other is the reinforcements from the direction of Zhangzhuang, and the other is from the direction of Yangquan and even Tanxian.

The direction of Taiyuan City is far away...... There is also the possibility of supporting Ping'an County, if the devil goes down the railway line, it will be able to arrive soon, I have already communicated with Lao Ding and Lao Li at this point, and at that time will carry out a partial sabotage operation to block the railway transportation line of the Japanese army. ”

"Not to mention the reinforcements from the direction of Taigu and Taiyuan City, these two roads pass through the defense area of the new first regiment and the new second regiment, and it is estimated that it will not be our turn."

"But let's not worry, the devils who have passed from Yangquan, Zhangzhuang and Tan County, if your battalions really have this ability, you will give it to me."

Wang Leihu said: "Commander, just take a look!" My first battalion defense area is on the right road from Yangquan to Ping'an County, and the devils who came from Yangquan to support them, the ambush on the halfway is enough for the little devils to drink a pot. ”

Kong Jie instructed: "This time it's a fake attack on Ping'an County, don't be too honest when you send reinforcements, and fight hard with devils."

I really can't stop it, and it's okay to let it go.

Of course, you can't let it go without any obstacles, so that once the devil reinforcements arrive in Ping'an County, after Ping'an County stabilizes, the devil reinforcements from other directions may retreat directly.

Therefore, the reinforcements from all directions can be regarded as buying time for our ambush. ”

"Understood—" several battalion commanders replied in unison.

Kong Jie continued: "Also, since it is an ambush war, you should bring out the advantages of the ambush war. ”

"An enemy who can be smoothed out with explosives with the help of terrain and features does not have to make our soldiers fight at the risk of sacrifice."

"These devils support all the way to the direction of Ping'an County, passing through a lot of bridges and highways, I will blow up the ones that should be blown up, don't be reluctant, we won't repair them, the little devils want to have convenient transportation, and they have to repair it for us."

"Some of these bridges have been built by little devils over the years, and when we didn't have them, we still had paths to pass, and we weren't afraid of blowing them up."

"Anyway, compared with the little devil, we are barefoot and not afraid of him wearing shoes."

"Upper side bombs were planted on the highway in advance."

"As for the local troops, as well as the militia comrades, this time they will lend it to the new second regiment, but when the news passes, tell these comrades to let them be smart, and when they go to besiege Ping'an County, don't let go of the opportunity to eat meat, don't let the oil and water on Lao Li's side be in vain."

……

After a pause, Kong Jie said: "That's all I have to explain, how to arrange the specific reinforcements, your battalion commanders have the final say, and when you need artillery support directly under the regiment headquarters, you can report at any time."

Is there anything else you would like to add? ”

The cadres shook their heads, Kong Jie announced the end of the meeting, and everyone left to prepare.

After the meeting, Kong Jie asked people to call Ye Min, the deputy captain of the commando team.

"The task is very clear, you immediately rush to the new second regiment, cooperate with Li Yunlong, before Li Yunlong besieges Ping'an County, first touch Ping'an County, destroy the devil's communication station, power supply station, railway station and other military facilities in Ping'an County, and let Ping'an County be completely chaotic."

"Yes!" Ye Min was ordered to leave.

Kong Jie estimated that there was chaos in the city first, and coupled with the troops sent by Li Yunlong outside the city to besiege Ping'an County, even if the devil had doubts, he would never dare to bet on whether the Eighth Route Army really wanted to attack Ping'an County.

After everything was arranged, Kong Jie walked out of the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, and was about to breathe, when he saw Sun Desheng standing at the door fixedly.

Kong Jie had a headache, but Sun Desheng gave a military salute and asked directly: "Regiment commander, there is a battle in the regiment, I see that all battalions and companies are preparing for war, you can't let our cavalry company continue to train, right?" It's been a few days of training.

The comrades urged me to come over and ask, and if I couldn't get the combat mission back this time, I wouldn't have the face to talk to my comrades. ”

Kong Jie said helplessly: "What kind of general is really bringing what soldiers, Sun Desheng, why are these soldiers you brought out so anxious to fight?" ”

Sun Desheng said: "Regiment leader, there is no way, now this devil has hit our door, if you don't kill the devil's soldiers, is that still a soldier?" ”

Kong Jie thought for a while and asked, "It's not impossible for your cavalry company to participate in the battle, but I have to ask about the situation, how is the progress of the transition and integration of your cavalry company to a semi-mechanized heavy unit during this time?" ”

Sun Desheng said: "Please rest assured that the regiment commander can withstand the regiment commander's inspection at any time, and now the soldiers of my cavalry company, don't talk big, they are familiar with those mechanical equipment, just like they are familiar with their own war horses." ”

"Great progress has also been made in the coordinated operations of the mechanical combat unit and the cavalry unit, and various coordinated tactics have been trained for many days."

"Regiment commander, you said that you hope that our cavalry company will adapt to the changes in the combat environment and gradually transform from a pure cavalry unit into a semi-mechanized heavy equipment unit and a multi-arm combined combat unit."

"Comrades are working in this direction, and now, everyone hopes to have a chance to fight in a real battle, so that they can better sharpen and sharpen from it."

Kong Jie was a little surprised that such words could come out of Sun Desheng's mouth.

"Old Sun, these words were taught by Chen Dalian, right?"

Sun Desheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, and smiled, "Commander, how can you see it at a glance?" I've been following the instructor for a long time to remember this! ”

Kong Jie laughed, seeing Sun Desheng's resolute gaze, he thought about it, the current battle is indeed not very good to leave the cavalry company behind.

He encouraged: "Old Sun, cavalry has always been one of the important components of the army, and in the era of cold weapons, cavalry is an absolute trump card force. ”

"Even in today's era of thermal weapons, with guns and cannons, even if we think that cavalry will one day be completely replaced by gradually developed mechanized troops."

"But this is not destined to be a process of sudden transformation, but a process of slow transformation and gradual change."

"From cavalry, to semi-mechanized cavalry units, and finally to fully mechanized troops, these are the three steps in the transition."

"At present, the cavalry and semi-mechanized troops of our independent regiment are at this stage of connecting the upper and lower levels."

"Whether the cavalry can break out again before the cavalry completely withdraws from the stage, and even surpass the glory of the once invincible cavalry troops in the cold weapon period, it depends on you Sun Desheng!"

Sun Desheng listened, full of excitement, even his body trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth, and said: "Regiment Commander, I, Sun Deshan, am a rough man, I don't know what glory is not glorious, but I have been dealing with cavalry for most of my life, I just want to tell everyone that even in this era of guns, cavalry will not be buried, and when it comes to killing devils, our cavalry is definitely no worse than infantry." ”

Kong Jie laughed and said: "Okay, in this battle, I will wait for your cavalry company to shine, and Sun Desheng will listen to the order." ”

Sun Desheng responded: "Here!" ”

Kong Jie said: "After the battle of the feint attack on Ping'an County began, the Japanese army went all the way from Yangquan to Ping'an County, which was one of the main reinforcements.

On the middle route between Yangquan and Ping'an County, there is a plain area.

As I said, cavalry is never used to fight fortified positions, but there is nothing better than cavalry to harass and surprise enemy troops in an open area like the one in front of you.

Your cavalry company is responsible for ambushing the vicinity of this plain, and when the commander of a battalion engages Japanese reinforcements, he will take the opportunity to make a detour and launch a surprise attack from the back or from both flanks.

The variety of coordinated tactics that have been trained for many days can come in handy. ”

"Yes, please rest assured that the regiment commander will complete the task!" Sun Desheng swore solemnly.

Kong Jie said: "Go ahead, if this battle is successful, your cavalry company will officially correct its name and change it to a semi-mechanized heavy battalion of the independent regiment, which is the direction that your cavalry company should strive to move forward." ”

"Yes!" Sun Desheng said.

……

……

Everything was arranged, and on the 15th, the ninth day of the Jinnan Campaign.

In the face of the Japanese army's insistence on the county seat and the fact that the stronghold could not be reached, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi finally aimed at Ping'an County, the county seat in the area occupied by the devils.

Around six o'clock in the morning, it was still the eve of numbness.

The dead silence of the entire county town of Ping'an before dawn was suddenly sounded, rapidly expanded, and broke by the sound of explosions that intensified.

A violent explosion drowned out the sound.

Not only the Japanese puppet army in Ping'an County, but even the ordinary people who lived there were awakened by the sound of explosions in their sleep, and they looked in the direction where the explosion came from in a panic.

Fortunately, the explosion was not aimed at civilians, and the purpose seemed to be clear.

The Japanese army's military power supply station, communication station, and military train transport station exploded almost at the same time.

Then, he secretly infiltrated Ping'an County, creating a big explosion everywhere, and the enemy who was going to the devil's power station, communication station, and railway station became more and more rampant, and even secretly used grenadiers to target the devil's gendarmerie and puppet army garrison.

This Ping'an county is not a strategic place, nor is it a large county seat.

There was a Japanese military police brigade of more than 200 people stationed in this Ping'an county, and the captain was Shigeru Fujita, and the rank was no more than Shaozuo.

In addition, there is a puppet army garrison and a Japanese infantry squad stationed in Ping'an County.

In addition to these, there are some puppet army troops.

There were six or seven hundred in all.

At this moment, as the explosion intensified, the continuous raids made the entire Ping'an County quickly explode.

The devil puppet army woke up from their sleep one after another, and attacked everywhere amid the sound of sirens, searching for the enemy who had infiltrated the county.

Headquarters.

"Report sir, the communication station appears to have been compromised and the phone is no longer connectable."

"Report to the chief, there is news from the power station that the power supply system has been paralyzed by the explosion of the infiltrated enemy forces."

Shigeru Fujita, the captain of the Devil Gendarmerie who sat at the headquarters, had a solemn face and realized that the crisis was coming.

Naturally, it was the commando team led by Ye Min who infiltrated the county seat.

Such a defensive force in Ping'an County can only be regarded as an ordinary county seat, and infiltrating into the county town and having a classic blasting operation is not difficult for the commando comrades at all.

As for the explosions made at the devil's military power supply station, communication station, and railway station, some of them used explosive packs, some used time bombs, and in addition, the team members also bombarded a few shots with 50 small artillery outside the devil's gendarmerie and puppet military garrison.

That's how arrogant it is.

In Ye Min's words, this time it was to cooperate with the feint attack outside the city, and it would be a big fuss if it was going to be a big one.

As for the end of the blasting operation, Kong Jie's side has already made arrangements, inside Ping'an County, the comrades of the enemy's Ministry of Industry will respond in advance, and after the completion of the blasting task, the members of the commando team will quickly sneak into the homes of these comrades who are secretly responding.

Hide in a secret passage to avoid being searched by the Japanese puppet army.

Of course, maybe you don't need to hide at all.

With the skills of the commando team members, coupled with the fact that the sky has not yet been brightened, it is difficult for six or seven hundred devils to quickly search the entire county town.

It wasn't until dawn that the cannon outside the city suddenly rang out.

The members of the commando team laughed together, and now the devils had no time to search for them in the county.

The battle to attack Ping'an County has already begun......
