"Baga, these damn bastards, how can they be guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army?

If the firepower of the guerrillas is even more fierce than that of the Imperial Japanese Army, what hope is there for jihad? ”

Toriyama Daming scolded and scolded, and he absolutely did not want to believe that this group of well-equipped, fierce, and extremely powerful ambush troops that appeared in his field of vision would be the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yes, it can't be!"

"It must have been the trick of the cunning Kong Jie, who disguised the main force of the Eighth Route Army as these guerrillas!"

Toriyama Daming comforted himself, his face turned pale, and the little devils on the side didn't dare to talk, so they had to hang their heads and echo: "Hey! Your Excellency is wise! ”

……

Around the areas of Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian, the second phase of this winter counteroffensive launched by the first independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin Province continued to fight.

Similar to what Toriyama Daiaki witnessed with his own eyes, the Japanese transport unit was ambushed by the guerrilla forces of the Eighth Route Army and was defeated in a short period of time.

At first, the Japanese intelligence department also defined those teams that lurked halfway, ambushed transport troops, did not have a unified standard military uniform, and wore a variety of colors, as guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army.

The same was true when the news reached the command of the First Army of the Japanese Army:

"Your Excellency General, our army in the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, and all the supply lines that allocate resources have been ambushed by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army!"

But as the final battle came out.

After encountering the ambush, all the transport teams that were ambushed by the guerrilla armies of the Eighth Route Army, ranging from some transport squads to some transport squadrons, were all routed without exception.

The supplies were looted, and the Japanese puppet army suffered heavy casualties.

According to the memories of the Japanese puppet army who were ambushed by all parties and survived:

The guerrillas were exceptionally well equipped and had very strong firepower.

As soon as the battle began, a stream of shells smashed down as if they didn't want money.

The battle could not be fought at all, and as soon as it broke out, the troops were directly suppressed by the fierce fire of the guerrillas.

The so-called guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, as well as ambush warfare that can be defined as guerrilla warfare in the middle of the way, have simply changed their taste:

In the past, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, known as the Three Guns and Eight Routes, were all poorly dressed, with single weapons, and a lack of guns and ammunition.

Every time the Japanese transport unit encountered these guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on the way, there was no major problem at all.

The gunfire of the Eighth Road did not go off a few times, and the ammunition was empty, and he was forced to flee.

An ambush is not counted, at most a few shots of harassment at a distance.

But now it's completely different.

Said good guerrillas, good guys, the firepower configuration is simply much stronger than the main combat units of the Eighth Route Army in the past.

Three guns and eight roads, there is no need for earthen guns, people directly use artillery.

Not to mention the scarcity of bullets, people's shells are as if they don't want money, just close their eyes and smash them hard.

All of a sudden, the Japanese convoys that were ambushed by the so-called guerrillas from all sides suffered heavy losses.

The Japanese command immediately issued an order, and the transport units in various localities immediately stopped the transport operations.

The devil is afraid that if the transportation continues, he will suffer even greater losses.

……

Detachment command.

According to the latest news of the operation at the front, the local armies and militia units of all sides cooperated and successfully knocked out the supply and transportation lines of the Japanese army in various parts of the country, and intercepted a large amount of military supplies.

The cadres were all excited when they heard this.

"It's too efficient, old Kong, to say something that isn't bragging.

As far as the local army and militia units of our detachment are concerned, the combat effectiveness displayed in this battle is no less than that of our regular main combat units. ”

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan sighed with emotion.

When he was still a staff officer at the brigade headquarters, the local armies and militia units in various places were very good at beating some second-devils and suppressing bandits.

For a long time, to deal with the main force of the devil, you can only rely on the main elite.

But since arriving at the detachment, all these old conclusions seem to have been overturned.

The detachment led by Kong Jie is not only the main combat army extremely strong, but even the local army, including the militia unit, has shown extraordinary combat effectiveness and execution in one battle after another in recent years.

Based on this, Xu Guoan was even thinking.

If a detachment of local army and militia units were temporarily combined to form a newly organized regiment, the combat effectiveness would probably not be bad.

In this regard, Kong Jie explained with a smile: "Lao Xu, in the final analysis, the most limiting thing about the improvement of the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army troops in the past few years has always been the problem of this equipment.

The problem of equipment and logistics cannot be solved, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how talented a soldier is, he can't touch a gun and has no actual combat training, how can he be promoted?

However, the conditions of our local army and militia units are different, they are much better than we were at that time, with the support of our team, there are many opportunities for actual combat in ordinary times, and the training is sufficient.

In particular, after we streamlined our administration, many military officers in the army who had real talents and learned were transferred to local armies and militia units to serve as commanders.

There is their unified training and scheduling, coupled with sophisticated equipment.

Even our comrades in the local army and militia are still unambiguous when they fight little devils. ”

Xu Guoan said: "This is the truth. ”

Then, the conversation turned to the current situation.

"Lao Kong, the situation in Poplar Town really makes you expect, after Yang Chongshan led the 57th Regiment to defeat Poplar Town in one game, the Japanese reinforcements were stopped by us again, and the follow-up devils really seem to have given up Poplar Town.

Outside did not send a single soldier in the direction of Poplar Town. ”

Kong Jie said: "The little devil doesn't want to force the Jin Sui army to stand on the same front with us, and he also wants to play the means of attacking in the suburbs."

As for this Poplar Town, in order to stabilize the Jin Sui Army, it is not uncommon for the devil to send it out for nothing.

Maybe it's our Chief Yan, and he has reached some kind of agreement with the little devil in private! ”

He continued: "It's not a bad thing, it's still in our plans.

Yang Chongshan successfully occupied Baiyang Town, which is not only the natural granary of the devil, but also just stuck in the middle line of Shouyang and Tan County.

With the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army staring at this place, we can also save a lot of worry. ”

Xu Guoan said with a smile: "That's right, in addition, the news that Yang Chongshan came from in the morning said that he wanted to thank you Lao Kong!" ”

Kong Jie couldn't help laughing, and said, "What is this old boy thanking me for?" I have to thank him! ”

"This pig breeding plan is officially on the right track!"

Everyone's eyes converged on the military simulation sand table in front of them, representing that the military flags of a team were gradually increasing on the sand table, connecting the various bases of the entire team, and at this time the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan County were already vaguely besieged.

Xu Guoan asked: "Lao Kong, after the second phase of fortification was launched, our local army and militia troops took action, and the devil's supply lines have been successfully cut off by us, and the little devil has also taken countermeasures and suspended the delivery of supply lines."

How do you want to fight next? ”

Kong Jie said: "The devil stopped the transportation of materials, which is a good thing, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the devil's last eyeliner."

Now for the situation on the outside, the little devil is black-eyed and doesn't know anything.

After this heavy snowfall, the transportation of the devil's railways and roads has been greatly hindered.

Next, on the one hand, we will focus on the battle to break the communication line of the devils, and on the other hand, we will continue our plan to encircle and send reinforcements. ”

Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered something, Kong Jie reminded again: "Oh, by the way, notify the battalion headquarters in charge of the sabotage operation."

The operation of the sabotage operations on the railway lines, highway lines, bridges, etc. of the devils was suspended, waiting for orders from the headquarters. ”

"Why is that?" Xu Guoan wondered.

Kong Jie explained on the combat sand table: "The next step is to divide the battle into three steps.

In the first step, the local armies and militia units of all sides will continue to stare at me on the various transport lines of the little devils, and we must not let go of any transport troops.

In addition, a small combat unit formed by our battalions, personally commanded by the soldiers of the commando team led by Duan Peng, gave me a way to infiltrate Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan County, and set fire to the devil's granary and material warehouse.

In this winter, once there is no food and military supplies, Lao Xu, tell me, what will the little devil do next? ”

Xu Guoan is such a smart person, he immediately came back to his senses and said happily: "My God, Lao Kong, your calculation should not be to besiege the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County."

Then burn the food and supplies of the Japanese puppet army, lure the Japanese troops in other regions, and transport relief materials over, and then you will rob them halfway, right? ”

Kong Jie retorted: "We call it armed seizure of the devil's material flow, how can it be said to be robbery?

Can our Eighth Route Army troops do this lack of morality? ”

“……”

Xu Guoan: "So, you deliberately ordered the sabotage operation of the Japanese army's railway lines and highway lines to be suspended, just to ambush them halfway while the devils were using these communication lines to transport supplies to Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan County?" ”

Kong Jiele said: "Yes, otherwise, the sabotage operation will start in advance, once the grass is startled, and then you want to take the opportunity to rob the devil's transportation materials, it will not be easy." ”

In this regard, Xu Guoan, who suddenly realized, had to sigh with emotion: "Lao Kong, there is really you, this game of chess is really big enough." ”

"Yes...... What if the little devil not only transported supplies over, but even sent reinforcements to Yangquan, Shouyang, and Tan County? ”

"Then it's time to beat him up!

We launched a winter counteroffensive this time, and we weren't going to play with his little devil, but on this snowy day, we will show off the guy's affair and fight with his little devil with a clear sword! ”

"What if the devil uses heavy reinforcements?" Xu Guoan asked.

Kong Jie said: "Unless the devil doesn't want to be in the rear, just for the sake of the remote four towns and three towns that we have beaten down, the little devil can't do it."

Take 10,000 steps back, if the devil is really a heavy soldier.

If we can't beat it, won't we run?

It's a big deal to return the four towns and three towns to his little devil, let's pull up the supplies and return to the base area, and still make him a lot of money. ”

Xu Guoan laughed.

At this moment, he could almost imagine how angry, troubled, and helpless the situation was haunting the hearts of those old devils in the Devil Command.

...... "Bastard!" ”

The Japanese army in Taiyuan City was stationed in the headquarters of the First Army in Shanxi.

The commander of the devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, has always been a calm cultivator, but since facing Kong Jie, he has frequently lost his temper.

He couldn't help but curse that the winter war situation in the northwest of Jin, around Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan County, was completely beyond his control.

The Winter Counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army came suddenly, and in one fell swoop, Shouyang, Yangquan, and the four towns and three towns around Tan County were defeated.

Originally, this move was more of a humiliation and provocation for the Japanese army.

In fact, these remote towns were not of much importance to the Japanese army.

Beichuan, the chief of staff of the devil, naturally quickly noticed that the four towns and three towns captured by the detachment had a tendency to faintly besiege the entire Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan counties.

But that's not enough to prove anything.

Those remote towns and villages were simply not enough to threaten the main county towns of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County, which were the center of gravity of the Japanese army's military defense.

But with the evolution of time, Kong Jie's flag seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and it is endless.

According to various sources, the Eighth Route seems to have set its sights on the supply lines of the Japanese army, arranging a large number of guerrilla ambushes along the way.

A few hours ago.

Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan County, many places in the city are even more fire-rising.

"News came from the headquarters of Yangquan, Shouyang and Tan counties that many granaries and material depots in the county town suddenly caught fire, and a large amount of grain and military supplies of our army were burned.

Obviously, this is definitely a secret tactic of the Eighth Route Army.

The defenders of the three cities immediately strengthened their vigilance against the remaining granaries and supply depots.

But there is not much food left.

These damn dirt roads, General, I think they're brewing some kind of conspiracy again.

Perhaps it was through this series of means that the three cities of Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian were short of military food, and then lured our army to reinforce the three cities, and their Eighth Route Army set up an ambush on the way. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded: "This is an obvious intention!" ”

When the words fell, the two old devils fell into silence tacitly.

That's right.

Kong Jie sent a small force to burn down the granaries and material depots in Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan Xian, and the purpose could not be clearer.

But even if you little devil know, what can you do?

Not fooled?

So the Japanese puppet army troops in Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County were left alone?

That's great, Captain Kong is waiting for you little devil to do this!

Just besieged but not attacked, maybe after a long time, this winter has not yet ended, and the Japanese puppet army in Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan County, because of the lack of food, can be taken down without blood.

As for sending convoys to reinforce the grain past?

Then wait to be robbed by Captain Kong Da on the way!

There is no fancy conspiracy at all.

The devil and both sides of the Eighth Route Army are very clear about each other's methods and possible responses.

Kong Jie just wants to teach Yoshio Shinozuka a lesson, and come up with such a problem, to see how he chooses the old devil.

For a while, Yoshio Shinozuka and Kitagawa were at a loss......
