Chapter 69 Let’s see how they live

In the Iron Triangle of Northern Shanxi, Kong Jie is the closest to the image of our army's commanders and soldiers, not arrogant but full of pride.

As the leader of a basic cadre group, he is hard-working, good at learning, and has high political literacy.

Although he is not good at winning by surprise, he has strong execution ability, maintains a high degree of obedience at all times, and implements the orders of his superiors.

To put it in layman's terms, he is like a stable top laner or position three player, who consumes the least resources but is as solid as a rock.

Although the upper limit is not as good as that of Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, the lower limit is definitely high enough. What stands out is that he is steady and will never compromise on the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.

Soldiers who can win battles and pull up the troops after suffering defeats are the backbone of the army and the commanders and fighters who determine the combat effectiveness of the army.

When dealing with the Yamamoto Special Forces, Kong Jie fully understood the importance of the independent regiment defending the headquarters.

Even though other brother units have returned to normal alert levels, their independent regiment still did not take it lightly.

Although he did not know the specific time, he made reasonable arrangements and did not look down on the enemy because of their small number.

Moreover, he knew that the opponent's target was the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxia Bay. Knowing this would make things much easier to handle.

If you want to go to the headquarters, you must deal with Yangcun, where their independent regiment is located.

This group of elite devils are definitely not willing to come into contact with their group. After all, in the eyes of others, they are not worth the price. If they take action, they will alert the enemy and expose the target.

Then they have only two choices, either to make a big circle to avoid Yangcun, but this is not feasible.

The staff at the headquarters are not fools. They certainly considered this when selecting the location. It is impossible to bypass it unless they airborne as paratroopers, otherwise this idea is unrealistic.

Then their only choice is to walk on the cliff, which is the way Kong Jie is most looking forward to.

In his opinion, no matter how elite the enemy is, they only have more than 80 people, and walking on the cliff is completely giving up his advantage.

And one of the key points of setting up an ambush is to know where the enemy must pass.

During the deduction, he made many sets of response plans. In order to verify whether his idea was feasible, Kong Jie also asked comrades from the division's secret service battalion to cooperate in the drill.

First, he set up a garrison position six hundred meters in front of the cliff. The choice of this location is very telling.

Yamamoto's special agent team must have attacked at night. After all, no one carried out assassination missions in broad daylight. People's vision must be much worse at night than during the day.

As long as you pay attention to concealment measures when building a position at this location, you can see the independent regiment's defenders at night even with a telescope.

Moreover, after everyone in Yamamoto Kazuki climbed the cliff, they would definitely feel that the path they had chosen was correct and safe. With his arrogant and disdainful attitude, there was a high probability that he would not have guessed that the independent group would set up an ambush ahead.

Secondly, the intelligence provided by Huang He mentioned that this so-called elite Japanese army was only equipped with submachine guns and grenade launchers.

The Eighth Route Army has not seen any Japs using its own submachine guns. This group of Japs studied at Sandoku's Munich Military Academy, so there is a high probability that they will be equipped with Sandoko's submachine guns.

Kong Jie went to the brigade headquarters to ask for advice. The submachine gun model currently widely used by San Dezi is the MP38. This gun has a high rate of fire, fierce firepower, and is indeed very fierce when charged.

However, the range of this weapon is only 200 meters, and the 9×19mm Parabellum pistol bullet used has limited power.

As for the grenade they may carry, although the Type 89 grenade has a maximum range of 700 meters, the Japanese are usually used to using it at a position of 400 meters.

The position was set at 600 meters. The range of the independent regiment's rifles and light and heavy machine guns was sufficient, but the range of Yamamoto's special agent team's submachine guns and grenades was not enough.

With long hands fighting short hands, and a regiment fighting eighty people, Kazuki Yamamoto was afraid that he would become stupid at the moment of the battle.

Moreover, Kong Jie, who highlighted the word "steady", laid out a minefield a hundred meters in front of the cliff.

After the Japanese stepped on the mines, the soldiers who were originally arranged would immediately go to the cliff to ambush them.

If Yamamoto Kazuki retreats at that time, he will be pursued by light and heavy machine guns and mortars. If he dares to expose his back, he will be dead.

Even if they managed to retreat to the bottom of the cliff after paying the price, there would already be soldiers from the independent regiment waiting for them there.

If they did not retreat but advanced, Kong Jie would lead his comrades to warmly welcome the Japanese.

Considering that this was a night operation, the independent regiment also prepared some flares.

Since the Eighth Route Army often moved at night, they took advantage of the cover of darkness to build bunkers and blow up artillery towers.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese would like to turn the night into day. In addition to searchlights, they will also use flares.

Although these troops did not capture many, they still had some. After visiting several brother troops, Kong Jie managed to collect dozens.

Everything is ready, the pockets have been packed, and we are just waiting for Kazuki Yamamoto to get in.

After returning from the logistics department with the transportation team, Kong Jie immediately gathered cadres above the platoon leader to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

Now the superiors have not assigned a political commissar to the independent regiment. In many cases, as the regiment leader, he has to wear multiple hats and cooperate with the instructor to carry out ideological work for the soldiers.

He placed all the newly brought weapon boxes outside the regiment headquarters compound. After opening the box, the brand-new weapons aroused the hearts of all the junior officers. After all, there are no soldiers who are not interested in guns.

Looking at the excited comrades, Kong Jie's murderous aura was like a sharp blade out of his body.

"Comrades! When I went to the Logistics Department today, I met Director Huang! He personally told me to be careful about that Yamamoto Kazuki!"

"What a bullshit Yamamoto special agent team! What a bullshit elite Japanese! The people in our independent group are not cowards!"

Just two sentences! The atmosphere in the regiment was stirred up to the extreme by Kong Jie, and everyone was eager to kill these Japanese with their own hands.

Kong Jie scanned the faces of the junior officers one by one and stopped when he saw a man with a round face and a bald head.

"Zhou Xun! Where is your hat?"

The person he pointed out was a company commander of the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment, who was famous in the regiment for his accurate shooting with light machine guns.

When Zhou Xun was a new soldier, his squad leader told him that it was best to shave his head before going to the battlefield. In case of head injury, the wound could be better treated.

From the first battle to now, he has always had the habit of keeping his head bald. In addition, he is not wearing a hat, so he is extremely conspicuous in the crowd.

After his name was called by the regimental leader, Zhou Xun did not panic. After he got out of the queue, he stood up straight and answered Kong Jie:

"Report to the captain! Our company has recently recruited many new soldiers, and we don't have enough hats! I gave mine to a young man with good marksmanship."

This answer was somewhat unexpected. Kong Jie walked up to the company commander, took off his hat and placed it on his bald head.

"You have a bald head and you're a machine gun shooter. If you don't have a hat on the battlefield, aren't you looking for death?"

"See these new machine guns? They are all yours! Our company was transferred from the first battalion, and from now on you will be the company commander of the regiment's machine gun company!"

Although Zhou Xun's position remained company commander, he was actually promoted, and more than a dozen new machine guns with better performance were added.

He excitedly saluted his regiment commander with a military salute and said: "Report to the regiment commander! I will die as a machine gun company commander!"

Kong Jie waved his hand towards Zhou Xun to signal him to return to the team, and then he distributed the weapons he brought back as needed!

I think with this arrangement, Yamamoto shouldn’t be able to escape.
Chapter completed!
