Chapter 860: Attack from both sides!
Kong Jie stared at the map and pondered.
Although there are only 20,000 people in the independent regiment at present, some of them are new recruits, but with the equipment level of the independent regiment, and most of the veterans are elite.
Coupled with air support and airdrop logistics supplies, the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment was even stronger than that of a Japanese division regiment.
On the opposite side were the 23rd Division, the 35th Division, and the 110th Division.
It seems that there are a large number of troops, and there are 45,000 men at full strength.
However, these three divisions and regiments have only gone through the May 1st Sweeping Jizhong Campaign, with about 10,000 casualties, plus the attrition of the attack on Niangzi Pass, they are no longer in a full state.
At present, the devils of these three divisions are estimated to have a total strength of more than 30,000 people.
The total strength of the independent regiment was 20,000, and the two sides were equal in terms of mountain artillery firepower.
But in terms of mortar and infantry fire, the independent regiment was able to crush the devils of these 3 divisions.
In the case of a frontal field battle, the Independent Regiment had a chance to defeat the three Devil Divisions.
You only need to defend Niangzi Pass and wait for the devils of these three divisions to attack.
Then use superior firepower and tunnel tactics to kill and injure a large number of devils' living forces.
When the devils found out that they couldn't defeat Niangzi Pass, the casualties were large, the morale was low, and the soldiers were exhausted, the independent regiment could easily defeat the devils of the three divisions with a wave of counterattack.
However, if you want to completely annihilate or even severely damage these three divisions, you can't do it by relying on independent regiments alone.
Because the devils are not stupid, they will run away when they find that they can't be defeated, and they will not stupidly wait for the independent regiment to rush up and destroy them all.
"Lao Kong, what are you thinking?"
Wang Yingcai, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, walked in and saw that Kong Jie had been staring at the map and thinking, so he asked.
The independent regiment was stationed in Niangzi Pass, and in the first battle, a Japanese wing was severely damaged, and the morale of the soldiers of the independent regiment was high at this time.
In order to rush to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, the soldiers of the independent regiment in the past two days have taken forced marches and rapid marches, almost all the way to the mountain road.
There are even fighters who are so tired that they vomit blood and fall behind, and the fighters who have fallen behind have been properly arranged.
But fortunately, the food of the independent regiment is very good, there is a supply of meat almost every day, and the soldiers usually train hard, so they can travel such a long distance in such a short time.
Moreover, not a single soldier cried out that he was tired, and the independent regiment successfully completed the task within the time specified by the superiors.
On the battlefield, looking at the corpse of the devil who was killed, the soldiers instantly felt that the two days of running were worth it!
After Political Commissar Wang learned about these situations on the battlefield, he returned to the regiment headquarters with confidence.
Kong Jie said: "Lao Wang, I'm thinking about how to severely damage or even completely annihilate these three devil divisions. ”
Political Commissar Wang was suddenly startled, and his pupils shrank slightly.
These are three divisions of the Japanese army, when did their own partner become so hungry?
Eat three Japanese divisions of the B division, and you are not afraid of breaking your belly?
You must know that two years ago, these three B divisions of the Japanese army could casually penetrate any base area of the Eighth Route Army!
"Old Kong..."
"Eat these three Japanese divisions and regiments, relying on our independent regiment, you can't do it!"
Political Commissar Wang walked to Kong Jie's side, stared at the map for a while, and suddenly said.
To be Kong Jie's partner, Political Commissar Wang's military level is naturally excellent, and recently Political Commissar Wang has also been studying the military theories that Li Yunlong gave Kong Jie, coupled with the actual combat experience of hearing and seeing, as well as occasionally commanding troops to fight, Political Commissar Wang's tactical command ability and strategic vision, although not as good as Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, but much stronger than the ordinary battalion commander in the northwest of Jin.
Wang Yingcai was the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, Li Wenying, who was sent to the Independent Regiment by his superiors after dying in an encounter with the 4th Brigade Regiment Sakata Wing.
He quickly saw that Kong Jie's strategic goals were not so easy to achieve.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese Army's Division B is not weak, and if it can casually annihilate three Japanese divisions, the War of Resistance will not have to last for 14 years.
Kong Jie lit a dry cigarette and took two puffs, feeling that his brain instantly refreshed a lot.
Although a lot of devil cigarettes were seized, and Li Yunlong's new group also set up a cigarette factory.
But when Kong Jie was thinking about strategy and tactics, he was still used to lighting a roll of dry tobacco to refresh his mind.
Kong Jie followed the soldiers all the way to Niangzi Pass, but there was not much fatigue on his face.
For Kong Jie, who had experienced the Long March, the intensity of the rapid march and forced march was not enough.
"That's right..."
Kong Jie smiled slightly:
"Relying on our independent regiment, of course, it is difficult to eat these three Japanese divisions, at most it is to defeat or defeat, and our independent regiment will also suffer a lot of casualties."
Political Commissar Wang was surprised: "Lao Kong, since you know, why do you still want to eat these three devil divisions?" ”
For his partner, Commissar Wang knows a lot about it.
Kong Erzi is the nickname given to Kong Jie by Li Yunlong, because when Kong Jie was fighting in the past, he was the best at charging and fighting tough battles, and his style was tough.
However, in terms of tactical command, Kong Jie is surprisingly stable, unlike Li Yunlong, who can always think of strange moves.
Instead, they have consistently and resolutely carried out the combat missions of their superiors, and they have always dealt with him wherever they are directed.
In the opinion of Political Commissar Wang, the independent regiment only needs to complete the tasks assigned by Li Yunlong and hold the Niangzi Pass.
And with the strength of the independent regiment, it is not a problem to hold Niangzi Pass at all, even if the Japanese army draws out another division regiment of the first type, it is almost impossible to capture Niangzi Pass.
But this time, Kong Jie was unusual, and wanted to eat the three attacking devil divisions, which surprised Political Commissar Wang.
Kong Jie was still smiling, and glanced at Political Commissar Wang: "What about our independent regiment, plus the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region?" ”
Political Commissar Wang's eyes lit up slightly, he looked at the map, and his tone was suddenly a little excited: "The main force of the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region has 60,000 or 70,000 people, and the militia has hundreds of thousands of people. Maybe there is a chance to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate these three devil divisions! ”
Although the Jizhong Military Region is only a second-level military region under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
However, at its peak, the Jizhong Military Region had a population of more than 800,000, a main force of 60,000 or 70,000, and a militia of several hundred thousand.
At present, the two sweeps of the Japanese army have not been able to hurt the vitality of the Jizhong Military Region, and the current Jizhong Military Region is not much different from its peak state.
Moreover, in the past two years, the Jizhong Military Region has been supplied with weapons and ammunition from the headquarters, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Jizhong Military Region in another time and space.
If Boss Chen's assistance had come earlier, let Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie lead the troops to the central Hebei region for development.
At present, the total strength of the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the New First Regiment is at least 500,000, and all of them are super-first-class main force elites.
After a pause, Political Commissar Wang asked a question: "Although the main force of the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region is 60,000 or 70,000 people, these troops are scattered in various places, and it may take a lot of time to assemble them, and the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region lack the combat experience of a large corps, their weapons and equipment are not as good as those of devils, and they are relatively short of ammunition. ”
Kong Jie nodded, what Political Commissar Wang said was not unreasonable.
But now the main force of the 129th Division in the southeast of Shanxi is already attacking the Taiyuan and Zhengtai railways, and there is no surplus force to reinforce the independent regiment.
Although there are still many main forces in the southeast of Jin, these main forces also have to defend the base of the devils in case the devils sneak attack.
Moreover, it is impossible for all the troops of the Jizhong Military Region to come over, and it is very good to be able to come over with 50,000 people and the independent regiment to attack the three divisions of the Japanese army.
In the end, Kong Jie's face turned fierce: "What do you want to do so much?" What you need to fight a war is a ruthless spirit, if you look ahead and look backward every time you fight, what kind of war will you fight? Besides, how can there be a 100% victory rate in this world? ”
As soon as Kong Jie said this, Political Commissar Wang nodded, and had no choice but to agree.
Although the political commissars of this period had the right of veto, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, like Li Yunlong, had the absolute right to speak in the regiment.
Kong Jie looked at the chief of staff on the side and said, "Chief of Staff, prepare a telegram to Commander Li of the new regiment, saying that our independent regiment wants to unite with the Jizhong Military Region and eat these three devil divisions, and ask Commander Li to apply to the headquarters." ”
Soon, the chief of staff drafted a telegram based on Kong Jie's dictation.
After Kong Jie signed his name, he asked the telegraph operator to send it out quickly.
Although the current independent regiment belongs to the battle sequence of the 386 brigade, the independent regiment in this battle is still under the command of Li Yunlong, so Kong Jie Kong Jie's superior is Li Yunlong.
Kong Jie wanted to unite the three divisions of the Jizhong Military Region to flank the devils, so he had to send a telegram to Li Yunlong first, and then Li Yunlong would send a telegram to the headquarters to apply.
As a comrade-in-arms who came out of the same class as Li Yunlong, Kong Jie knew Li Yunlong very well, and he knew that Li Yunlong would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.
After all, the business of eating the three devil divisions is not cheap.
Now it's up to the headquarters to agree.
……
As Kong Jie expected, the new regiment headquarters.
After listening to Chief of Staff Wang Dehou read the telegram, Li Yunlong smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "This Kong Er was stunned, and his brain has finally opened up." ”
After a day of thinking about the pit and anti-slope tactics of dealing with devils, Li Yunlong has already thought of a way to deal with them.
It's just that the specific details need to be carefully considered.
On the telegram, Kong Jie also reported that the Independent Regiment used the night to change guards with the 2nd Independent Brigade and wiped out half of the Devil Wing in one battle.
"Lao Li, say so." Zhao Gang was also slightly surprised, "You agreed to Head Kong's request?" ”
"Of course you agree, why not?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, "What a good opportunity to make a fortune, I know Kong Jie, since he wants to do it, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty, as his superior, I naturally want to fully support him." ”
Zhao Gang also expressed the same worries as Political Commissar Wang, after all, the brother units of the Jizhong Military Region are poorly equipped and have no experience in fighting big battles, so they may not be able to complete the task of pincerizing with the independent regiment.
Once the three devil divisions turn around and go back to attack the assembled troops of the Jizhong Military Region, the Jizhong Military Region will probably suffer heavy losses at that time.
"What am I going to say?" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "The problem of poor equipment is very easy to solve, let the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region be nominally under my command, and I will apply for airdrop supplies for them, as for the lack of experience in fighting a big battle, the combat experience of this large corps did not fall from the sky, how can it be if it does not fight?" ”
