……

"Danza, I don't understand, what are you doing this for?"

The forward temporary headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Watching from afar the confrontation between the two main battalions of the Jin Sui Army, Fang Ligong, the chief of staff on the side, asked.

The Commander's Department repeatedly ordered that without the orders of the Commander's Department, all units of the Jin Sui Army were absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to engage the Japanese army.

It's just that now it seems to have become a joke.

First of all, the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army blatantly raided Baiyang Town, and successfully defeated Baiyang Town with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei ordered the elite of the 358th Regiment to conduct military exercises near Qi County and Nanxiang.

You said that you don't usually conduct military exercises, but you want to conduct some kind of exercises at this juncture, and you also stuck the location of the exercises on the main road from Qi County and Nanxiang to Yangquan by the Japanese army.

Although it is true that the place is not far from the defense area of the 358th Regiment.

But this kind of exercise, who is discerning and can't see it?

On the surface, it is a drill, but in fact it has a lot of intimidation implications.

Chu Yunfei didn't answer Fang Ligong's doubts for the first time, his eyes were still focused on the military exercise not far away.

After a while, he suddenly sighed: "How much Chu hopes that what he is looking for is not a drill, but a real battle!" ”

Then, he answered the confusion in Fang Ligong's heart: "Brother meritorious service, your lips are cold and your teeth are cold!"

The political differences between us and the Eighth Route Army are something that the Commander's Department should consider, and it is not something that our soldiers should worry about.

This time, the Eighth Route Army broke the convention in one fell swoop, and even took the initiative to attack the towns and villages of the Japanese army, and even a straw bag like Yang Chongshan, the commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, could let go of the counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army.

Although Chu doesn't claim to be an elite, how can he watch it? ”

"Tuanza, I know that you are dedicated to the country, but you are only ...... from the Governor's Department"

"The military order of the commander's department made it very clear that without instructions from the superiors, the troops stationed there would never be allowed to take the initiative to exchange fire with the Japanese army.

We didn't take the initiative, and we didn't exchange fire.

It's just a military exercise, and the commanders have nothing to say! ”

"Having said that, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, the general trend of the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield has been invented, and the defeat of Japan now seems to be only a matter of time.

Once the Japanese invaders withdraw from the stage of this war, perhaps our relationship with the Eighth Route Army will soon change from friendly to fiercely rival.

In particular, the first detachment of the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan in the northwest of Shanxi Province has developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, which is simply incredible.

At this time, helping the Eighth Route Army to fight is not a problem for raising tigers?

Tuanza, people have no far-sighted concerns, there must be near-term worries! ”

Fang Ligong said it from the bottom of his heart, but Chu Yunfei listened to it, but laughed loudly: "Brother Meritorious Brother said it well!"

People have no long-term concerns, and they must have near-term worries, but now that they are near-term worries, how can they consider so much?

At present, the brothers are on the wall, and in the face of the great enemy, no matter how deep the internal contradictions are, the brothers should always join hands first to expel the strong enemy.

Besides, Kong Jie knows you and me, and he has some favors for my 358 regiment, so Chu will not be that ungrateful, right? ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Chu Yunfei's words were categorical: "Of course, Chu can use this military exercise today to plan his team's counteroffensive against Japan.

On the battlefield of his day, Chu will definitely not leave his hands, and is willing to compete with his brother Kong! ”

Fang Ligong was silent......

……

"Lao Kong, what do you mean by Chu Yunfei, this kid? This also ran out and pretended to make a military exercise, which frightened the little devils in Qi County and Nanxiang! ”

On the other side, almost at the same time.

In the headquarters of the regiment, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said with some confusion after hearing that the 358th Regiment was conducting military exercises near Qi County and Nanxiang.

To be honest, Chu Yunfei would use this special way to indirectly cover the team's counteroffensive operation this time, which was something that Kong Jie did not expect.

Within the orders of the superiors, they can respond to the Eighth Route Army's operations against Japan to the greatest extent.

This Chu Yunfei is not vainly showing off the reputation of the first good man of the Sword Jin Sui Army!

Kong Jie smiled, "Old Xu, no matter what, Chu Yunfei can be regarded as helping us, but we owe someone a favor this time." ”

Xu Guoan didn't appreciate it, and said happily: "Who is rare?

If he really wants to fight devils, his 358th regiment should fight with little devils openly.

What's the matter with this pretence, a military exercise?

If you want me to say, it's better to be happy with Yang Chongshan!

Having said that, we have already prepared our backs, even if the little devils from Naqi County and Nanxiang come to reinforce us, we will not be worthy of him! ”

Kong Jie smiled: "That's right, but since the 358th Regiment stopped the devils of Qi County and Nanchang for us, the pressure on us is a lot less."

In addition, for our counteroffensive this time, what is important is not the military exercise of the 358th Regiment, but the attitude of the 358th Regiment immediately after the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

I think the little devil should have a headache right now.

The situation in which the Jin Sui Army and our Eighth Route Army joined forces to jointly resist Japan was naturally not what they wanted to see. ”

His smile became brighter and brighter, "This favor of Head Chu, my Lao Kong will definitely find a way to repay it!" ”

Xu Guoan: "......"

How does your smile seem to mean to return the favor?

The eyes of the two refocused on the military sandbox of the headquarters.

Xu Guoan pointed out: "After nearly eight hours of fierce fighting, Lao Kong, so far, Neixiang, Qingye Township, Xixiang, Sanquan Township and other four townships and three towns have all fallen into the hands of our team.

The defensive operations of the four towns and three towns had already begun several hours earlier.

In the vicinity of these remote towns and villages, the Japanese army did not have many troops stationed in the first place, plus Lao Li took the new second regiment in Ping'an County, and Lao Ding took the new first regiment near Zhangzhuang, so it was a trouble.

The brigade commander also issued an order to send out all the regiments on the front line of our 386th Brigade to harass and feint to attack some counties and towns of the Japanese army, in response to our great counteroffensive.

Even the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, as well as the 358th Regiment, also showed their heads in this counteroffensive operation.

The forces of all parties were mixed, and the entire northwest of Shanxi was almost a pot of porridge.

The field elite of the devils was dragged down by the troops of all sides and could not be sent to the four towns and three towns.

The first phase of our winter counteroffensive has been completely completed to capture the Japanese army's remote towns and villages.

It's time to officially enter the second phase of the operation. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Guoan smiled and said, "Lao Kong, you just give the order!" Our comrades in the local army and militia have already come to ask many times, and each time they ask:

Chief of Staff Xu, we just want to ask, when will it be the turn of our local troops?

If you don't make a decision, I really won't be able to explain it to the local army comrades. ”

Kong Jie pondered for a moment on the combat sand table, and nodded with a smile:

"Okay, let the signal corps send orders to all regiments and prepare to enter the second phase of the operation.

In addition, the four townships and three towns that have already been laid down have further strengthened their fortifications, and at the same time they have begun to build tunnel fortifications and tunnel fortifications in the townships and towns.

We must make long-term plans for everything, ensure that we can attack, retreat, and evacuate in time! ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Xu Guoan responded.

Kong Jie's gaze fell back on the military sand table in front of him.

The second phase of this winter counteroffensive is to attack the transportation hubs and communication lines of the devils in Shouyang, Yangquan, Tan County, and other places, including railway lines, highway lines, bridges, and transportation vehicle concentration points.

In addition, it is necessary to ambush some of the supplementary routes commonly used by the devils and destroy the advancing strongholds of the Japanese army.

When analyzing the second phase of the fortifications, Kong Jie pointed out: "All along, the little devils have launched a sweep against our Eighth Route Army, and it is this large-scale construction of the advance base that has been particularly relied on.

These forward positions could not only serve as fortifications to connect supply lines, but also ensure the logistical supply of the Japanese front-line sweeping troops.

It is also possible to use the cage policy to cut off the connection between the large and small base areas of our army.

At the same time, it can provide fortifications and shelter for the evacuated Japanese troops at any time.

Therefore, every time the little devils carry out a big sweep, they will build a large number of advance strongholds in advance, and gradually extend to the sweeping area.

In this winter counteroffensive, since we have made a move, we should simply and comprehensively, and destroy the devil's advance base that gradually extends to our entire Taihang base area.

Including large and small transportation hubs, transportation lines, supply lines, etc., taking advantage of this heavy snowy day, all of them were paralyzed.

When spring begins, the weather is warmer, the snow has melted, and the little devils should be dumbfounded.

The large and small lines of communication have been completely destroyed, and the foundation of the pre-war preparations that could have launched a sweep at our base area at any time has long been in vain.

I want to see how the little devil who doesn't even have anything to do at that time will launch a big sweep? ”

What can Xu Guoan say about this?

I had to give Kong Jie a thumbs up and sigh with emotion: "Old Kong, it has to be you, it's really ruthless!" ”

……

Jizhong.

28 regiment stationed.

As an unprecedented May Day sweep set off by the Japanese army not long after, it was mainly aimed at the target - the Jizhong Military Region.

In this winter sweep, Kong Jie naturally would not forget his old man, Commander Lu of the 28th Regiment.

As early as two weeks before the winter counteroffensive officially kicked off, Kong Jie revealed the matter to Lu Dayou by phone.

And pointed out the harm of the Japanese army's large number of advance bases in order to prepare for the sweep.

After hanging up the phone, Regiment Commander Lu was not idle, he immediately mobilized the entire 28th Regiment, secretly accumulated strength, and planned a team's winter counteroffensive operation.

He also reported Kong Jie's idea of dealing with the Japanese sweep to the commander.

What's the idea?

Kong Jie said that the anti-sweeping operation is a palliative rather than a cure, and if you want to put an end to the devils' sweep of the base areas, you should strangle the little devils' preparations before the sweep in the cradle.

Kong Jie said, when the devils are sweeping, as a logistics station and the forward base of the supply station, we will destroy him in advance; When the little devil sweeps, he mobilizes his troops and gives full play to his mobility of all kinds of communication lines, railways, highways, and bridges, and we will blow him up in advance; In order to prepare for the sweep, the devil hoarded the grain and grass in various towns and villages in advance, and we burned him with fire.

Kong Jie also said that it is difficult for this clever woman to cook without rice.

The devil has no supplies, no logistics, no strongholds, and no convenient transportation lines, what else can he do to launch a sweep against our base areas?

…… Commander, that's what Kong Jie told me on the phone.

Kong Jie said, we should use this ocean-like combat tactics to let the little devils fall into the swamp, and then how can we have any energy to carry out a sweep of our base area?

I'm afraid I'll have to be busy dealing with the raids of all our sides, defending their strongholds, defending their lines of communication, and their granaries everywhere.

Kong Jie said......"

On the other end of the phone, the commander was quite approving for Kong Jie's proposals to deal with the devil's sweep.

It's just that his reply is not like this, but yells at the microphone:

"Lu Dayou, you are unproductive, can you not say it one by one?

Why, without him Kong Jie, you Lu Dayou won't even be able to bring troops?

The head of the 28th regiment, is it you Lu Dayou, or is he Kong Jie? ”

The commander hates iron but not steel.

Look, these are all commanders with troops, why is the gap so big?

Wait until the winter counteroffensive of a detachment kicked off, and in a very short period of time, directly captured the four towns and three towns of the Japanese army.

I heard that even the Jin Sui army participated in the war, and the entire northwest of Jin was beaten into a pot of porridge.

After the news reached Jizhong, Lu Dayou, including the commander, was stunned.

On the phone at that time, Kong Jie told Lu Dayou that the detachment was ready to take advantage of the winter to carry out a partial counteroffensive against the Japanese army.

Lu Dayou didn't take it seriously.

I thought it was to fight some strongholds, engage in some sabotage warfare and so on.

After the news came, Lu Dayou was stunned.

"Okay, he's a Kong Jie, he's really not afraid of big things at all, this is to poke a hole in the entire northwest of Shanxi!"

The conversation changed:

"He Lao Kong set up such a big anti-Japanese stage in the northwest of Shanxi, although we are a little far away, we have to sing two sentences along.

You can't just watch others be lively.

Signal troops, immediately notify the battalion and company commanders, go to the headquarters for a meeting, and we are also preparing to carry out a winter counteroffensive against him! ”

"Yes!"

……

……

In the evening of the same day, with the help of the gradually darkening sky, although the temperature in the whole northwest of Shanxi fell sharply again because of the arrival of night.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the cold current is like an arrow.

The elites of the Eighth Route Army, who had already prepared sufficient means to prepare for the cold, still launched this winter counteroffensive and the second phase of the offensive in accordance with the orders of the headquarters.

- Attack the transportation hubs of the Japanese army, destroy the railway lines, highway lines, and bridges of the devils, and completely cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army.

In the second phase of the operation, the local army and militia units also participated in it at the same time, and launched sabotage and surprise warfare in the vicinity of their respective areas.

In addition, the veterans with rich combat experience in the team temporarily formed a number of small combat units, and took advantage of the night to infiltrate the major towns and villages of the Japanese army to destroy the military grain and grass hoarded by the devils in the towns and villages, as well as all kinds of military supplies.

In the words of Captain Kong: "Taking advantage of the devil's illness and asking for the devil's life, this winter counteroffensive has already begun."

We should be the most traumatic little devils.

The devil is short of food, so we burn the winter food stored by the devil; The devil is short of cotton clothes, so we blew up the devil's clothing factory; Even the only coal that the little devil can use for heating in winter, we will destroy it all.

is to use this winter to freeze his little devil to death and starve him to death!

Let these little devils raised by bitches taste the hard life we had a few years ago. ”
