Chapter 69 Let Me See How They Live

In the iron triangle of northwest Shanxi, Kong Jie is closest to the image of our army's commanders and fighters. He is not arrogant but has a proud character.

As the head of a basic regiment, he is hardworking, good at learning, and has high political literacy.

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

In simple terms, he is like a stable top or third position player, who consumes the least resources but is as solid as a rock.

Although the upper limit is not as good as Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, the lower limit is definitely high enough. What stands out is a stability, and the tasks assigned to him by his superiors will never be discounted.

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

In dealing with the affairs of Yamamoto's special forces, Kong Jie is well aware of the importance of the independent regiment guarding the headquarters.

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

Although he didn't know the exact time, he made reasonable deployments and didn't look down on the enemy because of their small number.

And he knew very well that the opponent's target was the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxia Bay, and knowing this would make things much easier.

To go to the headquarters, they must deal with Yangcun where their independent regiment was located.

This group of elite devils would definitely not want to contact their regiment. After all, in the eyes of others, they were not worth the price. If they took action, they would alert the enemy and expose their target.

Then they had only two choices, either to go around Yangcun in a big circle, but this was not feasible.

The staff officers of the headquarters were not fools, and they certainly considered this when choosing the site. It was impossible to go around, unless they parachuted in the form of paratroopers, otherwise this idea would be unrealistic.

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

In his opinion, no matter how elite the enemy was, there were only more than 80 people, and walking on the cliff would completely give up their own advantages.

And one of the key points of setting an ambush was to know where the enemy's must-go path was.

When he was doing the simulation, he made many response plans. In order to verify whether his idea was feasible, Kong Jie even asked the comrades of the division's special forces battalion to cooperate with the drill.

First, he arranged the garrison position 600 meters in front of the cliff. The choice of this position is very interesting.

Yamamoto's special forces must have attacked at night. After all, no one carries out assassination missions in broad daylight, and people's vision at night must be much worse than during the day.

At this position, as long as you pay attention to concealment measures when building the position, you can see the garrison of the independent regiment at night even with a telescope.

Moreover, after all the members of Yamamoto Ikki climbed up the cliff, they would definitely feel that the path they chose was correct and safe. With his contempt for everything and his arrogant look, it is highly likely that he would not guess that the independent regiment would set an ambush in front.

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

The Eighth Route Army has not encountered devils using their own submachine guns so far. This group of devils has studied at Sandezi's Munich Military Academy, so it is highly likely that they will be equipped with Sandezi's submachine guns.

Kong Jie went to the brigade to ask for advice. The submachine gun model currently widely equipped by Sandezi is MP38. This gun has a high rate of fire and fierce firepower, and it is indeed very fierce when it rushes.

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 launcher they may carry, although the maximum range of the Type 89 grenade launcher is 700 meters, the Japanese are usually used to use it at 400 meters.

The position is set at 600 meters. The range of the rifles and light and heavy machine guns of the independent regiment is enough, but the submachine guns and grenade launchers of the Yamamoto special forces are not enough.

Long-handed against short-handed, one regiment against 80 people, he Yamamoto Ikki is afraid that he will be stupid at the moment of the battle.

Moreover, Kong Jie, who emphasizes the word "stable", arranged a minefield 100 meters in front of the cliff.

When the Japanese stepped on the mine, the soldiers who had been arranged would go to the bottom of the cliff to ambush as soon as possible.

If Yamamoto Ikki retreats, he will face pursuit from light and heavy machine guns and mortars. If he dares to show his back, he will die.

Even if they retreat to the bottom of the cliff by chance, there will be soldiers of the independent regiment waiting for them.

If they do not retreat but advance, Kong Jie will warmly welcome the devils with his comrades.

Considering that this is a night battle, the independent regiment also prepared some flares.

Since the Eighth Route Army often operates at night, they take advantage of the cover of night to attack bunkers and bomb artillery towers.

Faced with this situation, the devils are eager to turn the night into day. In addition to searchlights, they will also use flares.

Although the troops did not capture much of this thing, they still have some. After visiting several brother troops, Kong Jie barely gathered dozens of them.

Everything is ready, the pockets have been prepared, just waiting for Yamamoto Ikki to get in.

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

The superiors have not yet assigned a political commissar to the independent regiment. As the regiment commander, he often has to take on multiple roles and cooperate with the instructor to carry out ideological work for the soldiers.

He placed all the newly brought back weapon boxes outside the regiment compound. After the boxes were opened, the brand new weapons made the grassroots officers itchy. After all, no soldier is not interested in guns.

Looking at the excited comrades, Kong Jie was murderous like a sharp blade.

"Comrades! When I went to the logistics department today, I met Director Huang! He told me to be careful of Yamamoto Ikki!"

"What a shitty Yamamoto special forces! What a shitty elite devil! The people in our independent regiment are not cowards!"

Just two sentences! The atmosphere in the regiment was agitated to the extreme by Kong Jie, and everyone was eager to fight and chop these devils with their own hands.

Kong Jie scanned the faces of the grassroots officers one by one, and stopped when he saw a round-faced bald man.

"Zhou Xun! Where is your hat?"

The person he pointed out was a company commander of the first battalion of the independent regiment, who was famous in the regiment for his accurate light machine gun shooting.

When Zhou Xun was still a recruit, his squad leader told him that it was best to shave his head before going to the battlefield. In case of head injuries, the wound can be treated better.

From the first battle to now, he has always had the habit of keeping a bald head. In addition, he was not wearing a hat, which made him very conspicuous in the crowd.

After being called by the regiment commander, Zhou Xun did not panic. He stood straight after stepping out of the line and answered Kong Jie:

"Report to the regiment commander! There are many new soldiers in our company recently, and there are not enough hats! I gave mine to a young man with good shooting skills."

This answer was somewhat unexpected. Kong Jie walked towards the company commander and took off his hat and put it on his bald head.

"You are a bald man and you use a machine gun. 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! Your company is drawn from the first battalion, and you will be the company commander of the regiment's machine gun company in the future!"

Although Zhou Xun's position is still the company commander, he has actually been promoted, and more than a dozen machine guns with better performance have been added.

He excitedly saluted his own regiment commander and said: "Report to the regiment commander! I will die a good death as the company commander of the machine gun company!"

Kong Jie waved to Zhou Xun to signal him to return to the team, and then he distributed the weapons he brought back according to demand!

I think with this arrangement, Yamamoto won't be able to escape.
