For the specific strength of the independent regiment, or the first detachment of the anti-Japanese resistance in the northwest of Shanxi.

To be honest, the little devils of the First Army stationed in Shanxi are becoming more and more incomprehensible.

At the beginning of the sweep, in order to destroy the independent regiment, Yoshio Shinozuka did not work hard, but in the end he still failed miserably.

This small independent regiment was like a bottomless pit of dissatisfaction for the Japanese army.

Therefore, when dealing with the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army was quite cautious.

This time, in order to prevent Kong Jie's first detachment from going south and reinforce Nakajo Mountain, Shinozuka Yoshio, who was cautious, did not dare to have any thoughts of contemptuous of the first detachment.

With Yangquan as the center, including the surrounding Tanxian, Shouyang, Zhangzhuang, Taigu and other major county towns, it advanced to the southwest to block the Japanese puppet army of the independent regiment moving south, with a total of more than 6,000 troops.

Among them, the standing field army of the Japanese army plus the security army had a total strength of nearly four full brigades.

The rest are puppet army units.

That's it, and that's just the vanguard test force that Yoshio Shinozuka used to deal with Kong Jie.

Regarding the specific size and equipment of Kong Jie's first detachment, although Yoshio Shinozuka is not very clear.

However, an analysis by the Japanese intelligence service showed that:

Considering the rapid development of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, in order to deal with the different types of combat units of the First Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, the old simple division of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army such as "main force and non-main force" was re-divided into four categories:

The first category, uniform uniforms, wearing military boots, well-equipped, abundant ammunition, excellent military literacy, especially good at taking the initiative to attack, wipe out the enemy in the movement of the old independent regiment elite combat units.

In the second category, the local combat units of the independent regiment are relatively uniform in uniform, wearing straw sandals, and have sufficient equipment and ammunition, and their combat effectiveness is relatively lower than that of the elite troops of the independent regiment.

The third category consists of militia units under the jurisdiction of independent regiments with messy uniforms, small scales, and a distinctly guerrilla nature.

The fourth category, there is not much information for the time being, the combat effectiveness cannot be determined, and in addition to the elimination of bandits, there are no other outstanding achievements of the Workers' Corps troops.

Among them, according to the analysis of the Japanese intelligence department, the strength of the elite combat unit of the old independent regiment under Kong Jie is about 5,000 people.

The number of local troops and militia units cannot be specifically counted, but fortunately, it is not the focus of the Japanese army, and the total number of people that can be used for combat is between 3,000 and 5,000.

The most troublesome and fearful thing for the Japanese army was this migrant labor group.

According to Japan's preliminary investigation, there were countless militia regiments under Kong Jie's command, and as far as the Japanese army knew, there were at least seven or eight, and the total number of troops could even exceed 10,000.

If the combat effectiveness of this migrant labor group is similar to the elite combat effectiveness of the old independent regiment, it is Kong Jie's hidden hole card.

Hiss –

Thinking of this, the devil officers all gasped.

That's scary, too.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka, who did not dare to be careless at all, in the past, when dealing with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, a brigade dared to go on a rampage.

Now it is actually going to send more than 6,000 Japanese puppet troops to test as a vanguard force.

was indeed scared by Kong Jie.

In addition, in order to be safe Yoshio Shinozuka, he first sent a vanguard of more than 6,000 Japanese puppet troops, and then ordered Taiyuan City to dispatch two brigades, and at the same time moved closer to the base of the independent regiment.

In addition, Yoshio Shinozuka also gave a special order to the 47th Division stationed in Yuncheng in southern Jinnan to send troops to advance northward to help block the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army from moving south.

In order to deal with Kong Jie, the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka can be said to have done everything he could.

……

The reconnaissance troops of the two sides took the lead in the mountainous area, and the devils did not take advantage of it in the slightest.

The reconnaissance unit on the Eighth Route Party is the soldiers of the elite reconnaissance platoon of the Second Independent Regiment led by Shen Quan, and they can be called the elite of the old Independent Regiment in terms of military quality, equipment and firepower.

The two sides suddenly met in the mountains and forests, and a direct encounter came.

If you want to say that the reconnaissance team of the devil can be regarded as the elite of the Japanese army, it may not lose to the elite platoon fighters of the old independent regiment in terms of military quality.

But as soon as the two sides opened fire, it was the first time to show the gap in equipment in the close-range firepower exchange.

Shen Quan, the commander of the 2nd Independent Regiment, considering that the scouts were scattered around the perimeter as a troop, the soldiers often engaged in unprepared encounters.

Therefore, Shen Quan specially equipped the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon with a series of equipment suitable for close-range firepower confrontation.

In the ranks, there are submachine gun formations for close combat, four people, and the fighters wear gun belts around their necks at all times, pull the search line in a fan-shaped plane, and advance with submachine guns in their hands.

There are also American-style shotguns used in close-range shooting.

In addition, there is no shortage of fast and accurate short-range offensive weapons such as gun grenade launchers.

A few 50 small guns were placed behind and could be used to provide artillery fire at any time.

And what does the devil's reconnaissance team have?

Submachine guns they didn't have.

Gun grenade launchers they don't have.

Five-zero cannons, they don't have them either.

All the devil has is a few pretty regular crooked babes, plus some grenadiers!

In the past, when the Eighth Route Army was scarce in equipment, backward in ammunition, and still had three guns and eight routes, these were naturally invincible Japanese-style weapons.

At this moment, in the eyes of the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the 2nd Independent Regiment, they have long been old-fashioned garbage.

In just a few minutes of the exchange of fire between the two sides, the Japanese reconnaissance team composed of forty or fifty devils was directly disabled.

There were only a dozen little devils left, and they fled in a hurry.

The devil scouts, who were busy fleeing back, hurriedly reported to the marching command the situation of encountering the reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Their firepower was so ferocious, machine guns, submachine guns, and shotguns...... Bullets rained down, and the shells exploded right after them, leaving us with little power to fight back. This is definitely the elite combat unit of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army! ”

The news quickly reached the Japanese command.

Since it is determined that it is the main force of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army that is heading south.

The Japanese army no longer had any doubts, and the more than 6,000-day puppet army rapidly advanced in the southwest direction like a river, in an attempt to intercept the troops of the Eighth Route Army moving south.

Local battles broke out on the flanks of the collision.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army that went south were quite well-equipped, and their firepower was even more adequate, with light and heavy machine guns and artillery of all calibers.

The Japanese puppet army that fought with it sent back news one after another, and there was no doubt that it must be the elite troops of the independent regiment.

When the news reached the Japanese headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka was overjoyed, and he tried to flank the troops of the Eighth Route Army going south from the southeast direction and the direction in which the 47th Division was heading north, and besieged it in the steep mountainous area with Taihang at its back.

If he can take advantage of the steep terrain of Taihang and force the main forces of these independent regiments into a desperate situation, Yoshio Shinozuka will wake up with a smile in his dreams.

Over time.

The whole battle seems to be going in the direction that Yoshio Shinozuka expected.

It seems that as Yoshio Shinozuka expected, the elite combat unit of the independent regiment is only five or six thousand people, but it is impossible for the troops going south to have elites.

In the local confrontation that broke out between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army, which was moving south, was reluctantly retreated to the hinterland of Taihang Mountain under the advance of the Japanese puppet army.

In the firepower exchange between the two sides, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were intercepted by the Japanese puppet army from the southwest and north, tried to break through several times, but were unsuccessful.

The morale of the Japanese puppet army was greatly boosted for a while and continued to go deeper.

Command of the first detachment.

The news from the front line was transmitted one by one through the radio equipment of rapid communication.

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan, who had been nervously following the situation, was ecstatic when he learned the last news that came:

"Lao Kong, it's really done, we just used an elite of the second regiment, plus local army and militia comrades, and successfully introduced the devil puppet army."

"The next thing is to close the door and beat the dogs."

Compared with Xu Guoan's ecstasy, Kong Jie's face was much more indifferent.

He smiled: "There is also an unexpected surprise, this forty-seventh division can't sit still, and is rapidly heading north, according to the information transmitted from the front, there are about two brigades of Japanese troops." ”

"I wanted to take the lead in crippling the Japanese puppet army that came from Yangquan, but since the 47th Division also came to join in the fun, let's fight together!"

"As soon as the battle starts on our side, the 47th Division will go north, Han Feng's kid will definitely not sit idly by, if he makes some small moves behind the back of the 47th Division, the two devil brigades of the 47th Division going north will be completely gone."

Xu Guoan laughed and said: "Your old Kong's appetite is really amazing, if it weren't for your first detachment to be the chief of staff, how would I know that your battle was fought like this!" ”

"It's just that, Lao Kong, at this moment, six devil brigades have fallen into our trap circle, and the two Japanese brigades in the direction of Taiyuan City are also rapidly approaching, we want to quickly eat these six devil brigades, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

Kong Jie agreed: "That's a good point, not to mention the seven or eight thousand devil puppet army, that is, seven or eight thousand pigs, if we really run around in the deep mountains and old forests, it is impossible for us to wipe them out in a short time!" ”

"But fortunately, from another point of view, thinking devils and puppet armies are much easier to fight than pigs."

"Why? Because of the seven or eight thousand pigs running around, he did not have the consciousness of the team and unified command, like a headless fly, running in all directions. ”

"But devils are different from puppet soldiers, they are thoughtful. At present, the Japanese puppet army that is advancing to the north and to the southwest is rushing to eliminate our troops from the south. ”

"In this case, if our troops take one step back, they will go further, and if we take two steps back, they will take two steps forward. The so-called introduction of the king into the urn is this truth. ”

Speaking of which, Kong Jie pointed to a place next to the sand with one hand of his hand:

"Here, there is a steep cliff in the south of Taihang Mountain, if our troops all retreat in this direction, Lao Xu, what do you think will happen to the little devil?"

Xu Guoan said: "This mountain cliff is steep, it is impossible for the main force to cross the past, this is a desperate situation, if I am a Japanese puppet army, I will definitely not give up this golden opportunity and directly trap the Eighth Route Army here." ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "That's right, at this point, I think there will be a large number of Japanese puppet troops gathered in an area of the cliff, and it is initially estimated that there are not seven or eight thousand people, but there must be three or five thousand people!" ”

Xu Guoan was a little worried: "Lao Kong, in this way, the devil puppet army has indeed been introduced, but the direction of the cliff is not easy to defend, and it is basically a dead end to the back of the mountain, and the Japanese puppet army is swarming over, and our local comrades and militia comrades are afraid that they will not be able to stop for long." ”

Kong Jie said: "It doesn't take too long, you only need to hold it for 20 minutes." ”

"20 minutes later, in the face of a large number of Japanese puppet troops gathered together, Lao Xu, what do you think is the best tactic to deal with such a devil puppet army?"

"Best tactical ......"

"I mean a way of fighting that can directly wipe out these thousands of Japanese puppet troops in the face of the cruelty of war."

The shocked expression condensed on Xu Guoan's face, and Xu Guoan, who quickly came back to his senses, took the case, and even couldn't help but burst into a foul language:

"Damn, Lao Kong, should you have made up your mind early on to pull the artillery battalion over, cover it with artillery fire, and directly evaporate these thousands of Japanese puppet soldiers?"

A loud laugh rang out.

Kong Jielang said: "The parents of the one who gave birth to me, the one who knows me, but you are Lao Xu!" ”

"In the past few years, we lacked artillery fire, how many nest battles did we fight with the little devils? Every time, he was pressed and beaten by the devil's artillery. ”

"This time, Lao Tzu has to taste the pleasure of bombarding the Japanese invaders, so he fights like this!"

Xu Guoan was directly stunned in place, and under the shock of the strong impact, he only felt that his hairs were still standing on end in such a hot weather, and his back was cold in sweat.

He couldn't help but feel sad for the thousands of devils and puppet army who were about to perish—the death was really miserable!

I'm afraid that there won't even be a complete corpse left.

Then came the admiration for Kong Jie.

Obediently, is this still the most commanding and honest old man we know?

It's simply a big demon king who kills people without blinking!

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, perhaps the interpretation is the battle in front of you......
