One team faced off against the main force of the Japanese Sixth Field Division.

This is a game and contest of life and death.

The law of war is like this. It is always full of changing factors. No matter how good your planning is before the war, once the war begins, the slightest change will lead to an undirected reversal of the final situation.

Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei want to severely damage or even annihilate the Japanese Sixth Field Division.

In a large-scale battle, it is difficult to completely defeat the opponent only by relying on small-scale harassment and attrition.

After all, a decisive confrontation is inevitable.

If Kong Jie can lead the main force of a team to defeat the elite main force of the Sixth Division and go straight to the secret aviation base, he will defeat the opponent in the enemy's strongest field.

Under a series of chain effects, the Sixth Division is destined to collapse.

But if a team loses.

The main force of the Sixth Division's advance can not only destroy the scheduled aviation base of a team, but may even use this to break through the core defense area of ​​a team and destroy the foundation of the anti-Japanese revolutionary base area that the team has worked hard to develop over the past two years.

This is a conspiracy being planned by old devils like Oka Cun and Guancun.

Both parties know it well.

In this way, the final contest gradually unfolds.

A team headquarters.

Except for Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Regiment who was fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain, all the other five leaders were present: Lei Dasheng, the leader of the First Independent Regiment, Wang Leihu, the leader of the Second Independent Regiment, Shen Quan, the leader of the Third Independent Regiment, and

Commander of the fifth regiment... Commander of the sixth regiment...

Regardless of what Kong Jie said seriously in front of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, he said that the development of our Iron Triangle Force can be a little out of the ordinary, but it cannot be too exaggerated.

It can't be that a regiment can grow to be more terrifying than a division, can it?

But in fact, this guy Kong Jie has always made a fortune in silence. On the surface, he pretends to be serious, but he does the same things he should do.

His independent regiment was originally the first to be expanded into the first independent anti-Japanese detachment in northwestern Shanxi due to its growth in size, coupled with the needs of the war situation and its outstanding military exploits.

His organization is very special.

Let’s say it’s a regiment, but it’s much larger than a regiment-level combat unit. Let’s say it’s a brigade, but it can’t reach the brigade-level combat unit.

The establishment is particularly free, and the scale is completely under the control of detachment leader Kong Jie.

A year ago, considering the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, Kong Jie took the initiative to propose that our Eighth Route Army troops could actually implement a policy of better troops and simpler administration in major base areas to reduce the pressure on the base areas to support the troops and at the same time improve the combat effectiveness of the troops more efficiently.

and cohesion.

But then Kong Jie realized a situation.

Lao Li was right about this point. Refining troops and streamlining administration was due to the helpless situation of the Anti-Japanese War and the plight of insufficient logistics and insufficient supplies in the base areas.

Once these dilemmas are resolved.

Even if the policy of leaner troops and simpler administration continues to be implemented, the trend of troop growth will be difficult to control.

Kong Jie understood this very well, so he said that the Fourth Independent Regiment would open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base area in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and seek development.

The person who led the team there at that time was Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Regiment, and he led a main force of more than 2,000 people.

Now that we have developed, I remember that a few months ago, Kong Jie had a communication with Wang Huaibao’s headquarters.

In the communication, Wang Huaibao said very embarrassedly: "Old commander, I'm sorry, the original team of our fourth regiment has been expanded by two or three times inadvertently, and this still does not include the local armed forces.

case."

After the winter counterattack launched by one team achieved great success, the Fourth Independent Regiment on Zhongtiao Mountain took the opportunity to develop.

At this moment, even Kong Jie doesn't know how big his independent four regiments have grown to.

As for the team under his nose, due to the rapid economic construction of the base area, the improvement of equipment level, and the improvement of the combat quality of the troops, the size of the troops has almost increased independently.

It’s easier to understand if you give an example.

A team of more than 100 people in a company, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades, submachine guns, American semi-automatic rifles...

Adding up all kinds of weapons, a team of more than 100 people can't use them all, and the extra weapons can only be used to suppress the warehouse.

What else can we do?

We can only think of ways to expand the size of the army.

Just like this, one team has successively reinforced the arms and equipment of neighboring brother troops many times.

As a result, the entire team is further and further away from the original elite and simple administration.

Kong Jie, who had some headaches about this, specially formulated some military orders for recruitment, requiring that when expanding the main force, priority should be given to selecting local comrades with solid military literacy and certain combat experience from local armed forces.

In addition, there are special assessment items corresponding to entering the main combat force, including several basic skills of infantry, shooting, bombing, soil work, blasting, etc.

In addition, under the call of the leader of the Kongda detachment, a fierce military competition began within the detachment.

Each regiment, each battalion and even each company often holds internal military competitions. The companies compete in shooting, assassination, earthwork, and conduct simulated roundabout combat exercises.

In the end, within a team, how exaggerated is the degree of involution?

Let’s just talk about the most common sentry.

He is very likely to be an excellent scout and a skilled machine gunner when the light and heavy machine guns are in front of him. Maybe he is also very skilled in operating various types of mortars.

When you see someone driving a car, you might wave and say, "Comrade, let me wait for a while!"

When new recruits come, he can speak like an instructor and say a few words.

During the assassination training, new recruits can compete effortlessly against three.

For local comrades, it is even more touching.

..."Why, did you fail the assessment to apply for transfer to the main force again this time?"

"Yes, captain, I was eliminated in the first shooting event of the assessment!"

"What happened and how was it eliminated?"

"Don't mention it, I was still crazy at first. I think my marksmanship is pretty good for our team."

The district captain nodded with deep approval. Lao Zhang’s marksmanship was indeed among the best among the comrades in the district squad.

But Lao Zhang said with a depressed look on his face: "As a result, in the shooting assessment of a team, they only fired two bullets at a 200-meter fixed target. If they failed to hit, they would leave directly.

Because I was a little nervous at the time, I failed to hit..."

Lao Zhang is so depressed!

The district captain smiled and said: "Old Zhang, if you ask me to tell you, just don't hang yourself from a tree. The assessment requirements of this detachment are strict, so you can go to other main forces. Isn't that the same!

Including teams such as the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the newly formed Fifth Regiment. With your level, as long as you go, people will definitely be happy to have you!"

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang shook his head without hesitation and said: "Captain, as the old saying goes, if we want to be soldiers, we must be the best soldiers, and we must never be cowards.

Who in our area doesn’t know that the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment of Northwestern Shanxi is the most powerful team in our entire Taihang region.

Many of our local comrades are eager to get in!

Since we want to join the main force, we should join the best main force. This time, I blame my inability and failed the test. At worst, I will practice more and go again next time!"

In this regard, even the members of the old commandos of the independent regiment felt great pressure.

In the words of deputy captain Ye Min jokingly: "If we continue like this, our entire detachment will probably become special forces. Comrades, if we don't work hard and strengthen special training, we might go back to the cooking class to cook."

, even the old squad leader thinks he has been buried!"

Then roll it up!

Roll it hard!

Even under such exaggerated involution, the size of a team could not be suppressed and gradually grew.

The four regiments have also expanded to the current six regiments.

Except for Wang Huaibao's fourth independent regiment, the strength of the other five regiments was barely suppressed to more than 3,000 men at Kong Jie's special request.

Of course, since this time they were under pressure from the Japanese army to conduct a comprehensive sweep of the base area, a team had to consider not only the attack, but also the comprehensive defense of the base area.

Therefore, in the absence of external reinforcements, the mobile forces Kong Jie can allocate to deal with the Sixth Division are far less than the total number of combatants.

Maybe not even 1/3, that is, less than 5,000 troops.

But what kind of team is the Eighth Route Army?

This team has always been a gang of three heroes, with the top and bottom working as one, and they have never been particular about fighting alone. Joint operations have long been commonplace for each unit.

When Kong Jie reported to the headquarters on the battle plan to destroy the 6th Division, the deputy commander-in-chief immediately arranged an order to mobilize various troops to form the first division of the first brigade and the first division of the tenth brigade.

The Ministry of Defense, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area mobile reinforcement force, and the special agent group directly under the military region were all assigned to a team to assist in this combat plan.

With the addition of this group of troops, Kong Jie can not only defend comprehensively, but also release a large number of mobile troops to counterattack.

Concentrate on dealing with the Sixth Division.

In this way, all five main teams of a team are free.

This is why Kong Jie dared to challenge the Japanese Sixth Field Division.
