Chapter 125: House Changing Tactics
Chapter 125: House Changing Tactics
The war is imminent.
These days Kong Jie has been studying how to defend inside and outside the base when facing the heavy pressure of the Japanese army.
At this point I feel confident.
He spread out the base's troop deployment map that he had drawn up for a long time, and then slowly began to introduce:
"Our Eighth Route Army base was built in the mountainous area, relying on various villages and mountains, and had sufficient depth to be utilized.
Therefore, once the Japanese attack, we will follow the old rules: set up in echelons, block them layer by layer, and give full play to our advantages in depth and geography.
The specific defense area is divided into three parts: outer line, middle line, and inner line.
Each defense zone is divided into multiple lines of defense, relying on various villages, important nodes and attack and defense junctions, connecting them to form a systematic defense system. "
Kong Jie's painting style changed:
“But there’s an old saying that the best defense is a good offense.
Facing the Japanese's large-scale raid, we only did this, just defending blindly, with no room for attack at all. This is not my style.
Therefore, while defending the interior, I also plan to arrange several infiltrative troops. With the help of our soldiers' familiarity with the terrain of the base area, we can infiltrate the Japanese army's rear and fight flexibly.
When necessary, we can even abandon the inner defense and attack the security areas in the rear of the Japanese invaders where there are few troops.
At worst, we can switch sides and try a home-changing tactic!"
"Switching tactics?"
The Eighth Route Army did not implement the tactic of changing homes until a few years later, and this tactic has not yet been clearly put forward.
Therefore, this tactic immediately stunned Ding Wei and Li Yunlong. After they came to their senses, they began to praise the ingenuity of this tactic.
Ding Wei, who was very knowledgeable, couldn't help but cheer: "What a good home-changing tactic. Anyway, our Eighth Route Army base is poor and has no industrial facilities or factory foundations.
When the Japanese invaders attack our base, we will take the opportunity to infiltrate their rear areas in a roundabout way.
We are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Both sides are stealing each other's home, let's see who will suffer the most! "
Then, the three old comrades discussed the specific joint defense plan, and Youjie made a special report and submitted it to the brigade headquarters.
Brigade Headquarters.
In fact, some time ago, Kong Jie had specifically reported his idea of using the regiment flag to attract hatred and draw the Japanese army's attention to the independent regiment's base.
The brigade commander agreed with this.
As the Hundred Regiments Campaign was about to enter the second phase of the offensive, the Japanese army strengthened the defense of various transportation lines.
At this critical juncture, if a unit stood up and caused chaos, it would completely attract the firepower of the Japanese army.
It was extremely beneficial to the smooth progress of the Hundred Regiments Campaign.
Even the boss agreed immediately after hearing about this.
He also stated that if the independent regiment could attract and contain the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, the headquarters would commend all the soldiers of the independent regiment for great merit.
As a result, as events unfolded, Kong Jie succeeded.
Relying on the hatred that the Independent Regiment had already provoked from the Japanese army, and the high-profile promotion of the regiment flag this time.
The Japanese army mobilized two independent mixed brigades, a total of more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and attacked the independent regiment base directly.
When the news reached the brigade headquarters and the Eighth Route Army's front headquarters.
The brigade commander and the boss were both dumbfounded.
Kong Jie is a quiet guy on weekdays and he can't do anything at all. I didn't expect that he would be so troublesome at this critical moment.
Could it be that we have disturbed the enemy's lair?
It's like stirring up a hornet's nest!
Faced with the heavy pressure from the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would certainly not sit idly by and watch the Independent Regiment being wiped out by the devils.
So the boss immediately convened a military meeting to discuss in detail how to assist in reinforcing the independent regiment and stop the Japanese attack.
The 13th.
More than 6000 Japanese troops from the Japanese Independent rd Mixed Brigade, which took the lead in launching an attack from the north of the independent regiment's base, launched a fierce attack on the outer defense zone of the independent regiment's base.
The Japs' thunderous offensive seemed unstoppable.
With the absolute advantage in equipment and artillery fire, the Japanese Army's 113rd Independent Mixed Brigade pushed forward all the way, crushing the enemy with overwhelming force. The overall strength it demonstrated was by no means comparable to the Namwon Battalion and the th Regiment that the independent regiment had once destroyed.
The initial display of the strength of the Japanese field brigade.
At the same time, the two field regiments of the Japanese Army's 9th Independent Mixed Brigade also attacked the independent regiment's base from the east and west respectively.
The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.
Although the independent regiment had grown stronger over this period of time and its total strength had reached more than 3800 men, it was facing the remaining elite Japanese troops, which, together with the puppet troops, totaled more than enemy troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops had more than five times the strength of the Independent Regiment.
Moreover, in terms of overall strength, the Japanese's equipment level is stronger than that of the independent regiment.
Even after the Independent Regiment destroyed the 113th Regiment of the Japanese Army and seized a considerable number of artillery pieces, they used the seized artillery pieces to form an artillery company, which actually reached the size of an artillery battalion.
However, facing the artillery advantage of the two independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army, it was still not enough.
Moreover.
The Japs also have air force fire support ready to follow up at any time.
A large number of Japanese fighter planes were lurking in the sky above the independent regiment's base, ready to launch an air strike against the main force of the independent regiment at any time.
Heavy pressure was overwhelming, and a heavy atmosphere completely enveloped the entire independent regiment.
The soldiers all felt solemn and were ready to fight to the death at any time.
Kong Jie, who was in charge of the regiment headquarters, remained calm. It was he who proposed the plan of using the regiment flag to attract the hatred of the Japanese army and tie down the main force of the Japanese army.
How can we retreat at this critical juncture?
Kong Jie carried out the deployment step by step.
He ordered each battalion and company to advance steadily and, relying on solid defensive fortifications, launch layers of resistance against the Japanese attack.
The elite steel-helmeted soldiers directly under the regiment were also specially assembled.
The more than 500 elite steel-helmeted soldiers were divided into three groups, which infiltrated the Japanese army's rear from three directions, taking advantage of the cover of mountains and forests, and fought in a roundabout way.
When they set out, Kong Jie said solemnly: "The steel helmet soldiers are the absolute elite that our independent regiment has used all its resources to build. Whether in terms of equipment level, soldier quality, or combat effectiveness, our elite steel helmet soldiers can completely crush the Japanese army with equal forces.
As the old saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade.
Our steel helmets are not suited to conventional defensive warfare.
As the spearhead, your best strategy is to attack, stab the Japanese army's vital points and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
So I arranged you as the infiltration force this time, to infiltrate and detour to the rear of the Japanese army, wait for the opportunity to fight, and destroy the disconnected artillery and baggage troops in the rear of the devils at any time.
Wait for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the important junctions and command posts in the rear of the Japanese.
If necessary, we can directly launch a counterattack against the security areas in the rear of the Japanese army where the defense forces are sparse. "
