In the face of the Japanese army's frenzied retaliation with the help of armored vehicles, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Jizhong were also in a predicament for a while.

The anti-tank battle quickly began, but the various units in Jizhong, which did not know much about the devil's Iron King Ba, were often unable to find effective anti-tank means.

The fighters were not afraid to sacrifice to block the advance of the devil's tanks and armored vehicles.

Casualties in the divisions could not be avoided, and the losses of troops were significant.

The base of the 28th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region.

More than a dozen Japanese-style light armored vehicles were mixed with three Iron King Eight before they roared arrogantly from the ground.

Everywhere it passed, many military facilities originally built by the 28th Regiment were directly blown up by the devils with tank guns, and some villages were burned down by the devils.

Fortunately, after receiving the news of the advance of the Japanese tank troops through the mass base of Guangfu in advance, the commander of the 28th Regiment, Lu Regiment, immediately dispatched cadres and quickly transferred the troops and villagers into the evacuation tunnels in time.

This point, the books sent by Regiment Commander Lu through Kong Jie, also learned the same as the independent regiment.

In peacetime, in order to cope with the Japanese army's surprise sweep, some emergency evacuation drills will be carried out for the villagers around the base area.

At the moment, it really came in handy, and after Commander Lu quickly issued the order to transfer, the people moved into the evacuation tunnel in an orderly manner.

Only then did it narrowly avoid the slaughter of the Japanese sweeping troops.

As for the bottomless underground passages that look down one by one, for the little devils, it is like an abyss that eats people and does not spit out bones.

The devils have suffered a big loss and do not dare to enter easily, so they can only shout on the ground and drive armored vehicles and tanks on a rampage as revenge.

After the observation post determined that the Japanese sweeping troops had withdrawn, Commander Lu ordered the troops and people to move back from the tunnel to the ground.

Looking at the destroyed military facilities, at the burned houses, at the burned farmland, the people and soldiers fell into anger.

Sun Chuanzhong, the commander of the second battalion, scolded.

"This dog-day little devil can't find us, so he will only take our villages and farmlands to get angry."

Lu Shunmin, the commander of the third battalion, was a little worried: "Regiment commander, relying on the emergency evacuation drills we usually conducted on the villagers, we didn't have any casualties this time, and the villagers also transferred some important food and property into the tunnel as soon as possible, but they couldn't stand the devils coming over to harass them for three days." ”

"After all, living in the tunnel is not a long-term solution, the devil often comes to sweep, and our farmland, fortifications, and houses cannot be maintained for a long time."

"If we continue like this, we will be too passive."

Head Lu nodded, a little helpless.

"Obviously, the devils didn't dare to deal with us in the tunnels, and they didn't dare to send infantry to advance easily, so they swept back and forth with armored vehicles and tanks."

"It's just to destroy our economic base and fortifications on the ground, to slowly drag down our lives in the tunnels, and force us from the underground to the surface."

Sun Chuanzhong was a rough man, and he couldn't think of a way to do it after racking his brains, so he had to look at Lu Shunmin, the commander of the third battalion, and asked:

"Lao Lu, you have always had a lot of ideas, what should we do in this situation?"

The devil's tank is too strong, and the little devil has also learned well, so he doesn't entangle with the Eighth Route at all, and directly uses armored vehicles and tanks to sweep the base areas and guerrilla areas of the Eighth Route Army, destroy farmland and villages, and then leave.

Faced with this situation, there seems to be only one solution.

"Knock out the devil's armored vehicles and tanks, so that the little devils don't dare to enter our base easily." Lu Shunmin said.

Sun Chuanzhong's face froze, and he said speechlessly: "If the devil's armored vehicles and tanks are defeated so easily, we won't watch the little devil be arrogant." ”

"If Regiment Leader Kong is here, he will most likely have an idea, and it seems that there is no problem that can be difficult to stop Regiment Commander Kong!"

Lu Shunmin, who couldn't think of an idea, sighed.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Regiment Commander Lu seemed to suddenly wake up and asked: "Shunmin, in the independent regiment, how did Lao Kong deal with the devil's tank?" ”

Lu Shunmin thought for a while and said: "The independent regiment is much better equipped than ours, they have some anti-tank mines, and even some artillery that can destroy the armor of the devil's tank. ”

"In addition, the Taihang area is mostly mountainous, and the devil's tank is actually very limited by the terrain, so it is not used much, like in our Hebei generation, there is almost no situation of tank cluster deployment."

"When we were chatting at the time, I heard some company commanders of the Independent Regiment say that their Independent Regiment has more means to deal with tanks, and even the militia is not even afraid of the devil's Iron King."

"I thought they were bragging, but now that I think about it, maybe they really have the confidence."

"In the Independent Regiment, Regiment Commander Kong even established many air defense fortifications inside the base area, and even the devil's plane did not dare to be arrogant over the base area of the Independent Regiment."

Hearing this, Regiment Leader Lu fell into thought, and after a while, he said with surprise on his face: "Is there a way?" ”

Seeing that Lu Shunmin and Sun Chuanzhong's eyes converged, Head Lu smiled and said:

"I'm also confused, at the moment, we have business cooperation and arms cooperation with the Independent Regiment, and we have close contacts, and the Independent Regiment has experience in dealing with devil tanks, why don't we ask Lao Kong for help directly?"

The troops of the Eighth Route Army do not distinguish between you and me.

When the economy of Jizhong was doing well, it even took the initiative to send some coins to the Taihang area.

The brigade commander got a good seed of potatoes from Kong Jie's hands, and he also sent a batch to Jizhong early in the morning.

Kong Jie's side thought of mine tactics, so he wrote the materials as soon as possible and sent them to Jizhong through Lu Shunming.

This kind of mutual help is normal in the eyes of all the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Lu Shunming, the commander of the third battalion, immediately recommended himself: "Regiment commander, I am familiar with the way to go to the independent regiment, you let me go, I promise to invite reinforcements back in the shortest possible time." ”

Lu Shunmin spent a period of time in the Independent Regiment when he was recuperating from his injuries, and he was indeed the most suitable candidate.

Commander Lu nodded: "Okay, Shunmin, I'll leave this matter to you, bring a few skilled soldiers, and pay attention to safety on the road." ”

"Yes!" Lu Shunmin responded.

……

……

The base of the first anti-Japanese detachment in the northwest of Shanxi.

Logistics.

The first detachment of the military-industrial research institute.

As the first detachment continued to receive the victims, there were more and more busy affairs in the base area, and the entire detachment, from political commissar Li Wenjie and chief of staff Xu Guoan, down to company and platoon commanders, and even Xie Baoqing and others from the Migrant Labor Corps, were all busy.

Those who train the troops are trained to do the training, those who are engaged in agriculture are engaged in farming, and those who are engaged in production in factories are engaged in production.

Everyone is busy and happy, and when they think about the vigorous development of the first detachment, they are all full of energy.

As the head of the first team to lead the overall situation, he is idle at the moment as if he has nothing to do.

If you asked.

Commander Kong's sophistry makes you speechless: "The one who is busy should be the political commissar and the chief of staff." ”

"Leisurely and idle, hehe, that's called the head of the regiment!"

"As the head of the regiment, the most important thing is to command the overall brain, so that you can do it from a high position, if you don't rest well, then how can you do it?"

Yes, that's it, you have to choke, you have nothing to say, and you have to give a thumbs up to the head of the other Kong: "It's worthy of you old Kong!" ”

At this moment, the leisurely Kong Jie slipped to the Military Research Institute of the Logistics Department.

"Commander, why are you here?"

Dong San, director of the logistics department and director of the Military Industry Research Institute, is coordinating the work of the institute at the moment.

Today, the scale of the military industry research institute is not small, and the talents are even more abundant.

Not long ago, experts such as Qian Xuezhong and Chen Dong, who were brought back by Kong Jie from Tianjin, joined the work of the institute and soon brought vigorous vitality to the progress of the institute.

So far, the institute has achieved a lot of results.

For example, in the past, the repair institute at most transformed the grenadier canister captured from the devil into a relatively simple 50 small cannon that could be equipped with a firing powder bag.

At present, the latest research of the research institute is much more refined than the previous five-zero cannon.

The ring-pulling firing device used in the little devil's Type 89 grenadier was directly replaced with a trigger-type firing device, and the previous screw rod was canceled and replaced with a trigger firing.

The tile-shaped base was changed to a triangular base, and a machine-gun leg was installed on the barrel, and a fan-shaped ruler was hung on the left side of the barrel, so that the elevation angle could be checked by the heavy hammer pendulum needle, and the firing distance could be determined.

In this way, the structure of the small cannon is more reasonable, and the performance in all aspects has been greatly improved, which can completely crush the grenadier canister of the devil.

After that, the technology and equipment used by the repair institute could even transform the 50 small cannon into a 50 mortar.

Of course, because the procedure is too cumbersome to mass-produce, it is still mainly a 50 small cannon, and a mortar is a 60 caliber for production.

In addition, at the request of Kong Jie, the institute even modified some anti-tank shells.

Of course, this kind of shell is not directly shot out with artillery, but buried in the ground in advance, and the main body is modified from large-caliber mortar shells, which are fired from the ground and directly hit the weakest bottom of the devil's armor, thus destroying the devil tank.

…… Seeing Dong San coming over, Kong Jie asked:

"I'll see how our King of Slaughter is doing."
