The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 226 Monk Wei's Mission
The hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base.

Line day.

According to Kong Jie's order, Wei Dayong, the commander of the Guard Company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, arrived at Yixiantian at around 27 am on the 11th and arranged for the guard company to be stationed here.

After arriving at the place, the monk began to guide people to familiarize themselves with Yixiantian and the surrounding terrain as soon as possible.

This is a habit developed under the influence of Kong Jie.

In field operations, especially in mountainous environments, the control and utilization of the surrounding terrain will greatly affect the balance of victory in the war.

Therefore, whenever he arrives at a place, an excellent commander should immediately familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and be ready at any time. If there is a sudden battle, he can immediately use everything available around him.

As he observed carefully, the monk became more and more impressed by the precipitous terrain.

The reason why Yixiantian is called Yixiantian is actually very simple. It is a narrow gap between two tall peaks, with a width of only a few meters. Because of the obstruction of vision, you can only see a narrow sky like a line, so it is called a line of sky.

The outside of Yixiantian is a wooded area. Near the end of October, except for some evergreen plants, most of them have withered and yellowed, and the ground is full of fallen leaves.

Because of the cover of this forest area and the huge mountains of the two peaks, the gap between the sky and the sky is extremely narrow. If you don't look carefully, you can't detect the clue from a distance.

It is precisely because of this that the interior area is very hidden after a line of sky, and the interior is mostly surrounded by mountains. In summer, it is surrounded by verdant green, which can easily cover the low-lying areas. Difficult to spot from high altitude.

Therefore, after discussion, the Eighth Route Army headquarters arranged the field hospital and the Shuiyaozi arsenal here.

In the absence of intelligence coordinates, even if the devil's plane wanted to find field hospitals and arsenals among these mountains, it would be tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

That's why, when Kong Jie proposed to the brigade commander that he would be stationed at Yixiantian to guard the arsenal factory and the field hospital, both the brigade commander and the political commissar couldn't help but smile.

It is almost impossible for the arsenal and field hospital in the sky to be exposed. This is common sense within the Eighth Route Army.

This is also the reason why the boss became furious after the Yamazaki brigade accidentally entered the first-line sky and attacked the field hospital and the arsenal according to the progress of the script.

The little devil appeared too suddenly, even without warning.

It even attacked the Eighth Route Army headquarters where it thought it should be the least likely to be attacked.

It is really rampant for a small Yamazaki brigade to dare to go deep alone.

……

Lead the guard company behind the garrison at Yixiantian.

The monk's defense order, on the one hand, included the garrison of the first-line sky headquarters, and on the other hand, it spread the scouts to the surrounding several kilometers.

The head of the regiment Kong Jie said that when fighting in a deep environment, if there is no reconnaissance troops first, in most cases, the troops can only see the situation within a few hundred meters around them, and they are almost blind.

This situation is the easiest to be attacked and ambushed by the opponent.

"Don't fall in all directions around Yixiantian, you have done a good job of camouflage for me, once you detect the situation, report it as soon as possible."

When the reconnaissance squad was spread out, the monk ordered.

"Yes!"

Looking at the backs of the soldiers of the reconnaissance team who were scattered and far away, and behind them was the Yixiantian, which is "one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it", the monk suddenly remembered that one day ago, when the head of the team, Kong Jie, took him around the Yixiantian and Lijiapo. , a military simulated confrontation.

The monk was a little suspicious about this.

Could it be that the head of the regiment made up his mind early in the morning to let the guard company come to guard Yixiantian, so he brought me here in advance?

The monk couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think much about it. Anyway, his mission was to guard the sky, the arsenal and the field hospital, and that was enough.

The guard company was stationed at the front line for the safety of the arsenal and the field hospital. In Kong Jie's words, the field hospital and the arsenal were somewhat complacent.

Therefore, the problem of food for the soldiers of the guard company is naturally solved by the field hospital and the arsenal.

Or the field hospital and the arsenal sent some food and vegetables, and then the soldiers of the guard company were in the first-line sky, using the smoke-free stove that Kong Jie taught everyone to dig and set up not long ago, to cook by themselves, watching the beautiful scenery of the first-line sky , Eating hot food, it touches a special taste.

…………

On the 28th, the Yamazaki Battalion appeared, and under the command of the captain Yamazaki Zhihei, they quickly entered the Eighth Route Army base area according to the pre-planned route on the map.

The old devil Yamazaki, like most men in the island country in this era, is short, with bow legs, his head is almost as thick as his neck, his body is stocky, his face is rough, and his narrowed eyes reveal that Japanese military officers often Some are firm and ruthless.

Although Yamazaki is very clear, he appeared as a bait for the main force of the empire this time.

But this pretentious old devil is not reconciled to being a bait. He believes that at least until he is exposed, his Yamazaki brigade cannot be called a bait, but should be called an assassin.

Sudden raids, attacking the unprepared, and maximizing the advantage of one's own artillery fire, this is Yamazaki Zhihei's favorite tactic.

Especially on the Chinese battlefield, it is Yamazaki's consistent skill to use his own artillery superiority to bully the Eighth Route Army with backward equipment.

He thinks this time will be no exception.

In order to achieve the effect of sudden surprise and earth-shattering shock, the experienced old devil Yamazaki planned the route of this trip in advance, which can be described as racking his brains.

The progress along the way is basically relying on the mountain, or the woods, or the hidden route of the valley.

Not only that, Yamazaki also ingeniously ordered to divide his brigade of more than 500 troops into three teams, and each team formed a column, relying on the bunkers in the mountains and forests to alternately cover the march.

Several reconnaissance teams spread around the main force.

Be alert to the Eighth Route Army that may appear at any time around.

The old devil Yamazaki wanted to play tricks. He tried his best to avoid exposing his team until he successfully found a worthy military strike target, such as the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, an arsenal, or a field hospital.

And it turns out that Yamazaki does have two brushes.

With the help of the interspersed curve planned in advance, and the cautious progress along the way, the Yamazaki Brigade, which set out from the county seat when it was still bright, successfully penetrated into the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army at around [-]:[-] in the morning, without the Eighth Route Army being aware of it.

Yamazaki is well aware of the power of the Eighth Route Army, and even all the villagers may be the eyeliner of the Eighth Route Army.

So this way, Yamazaki directed the team to avoid areas with villages.

Also because of this reason, the Yamazaki Battalion, who originally wanted to move forward according to the established route, deviated a little bit in the direction of movement due to a mistake made by the map soldiers.

When he saw the cliff that suddenly appeared in front of him, Yamazaki realized that he was going in the wrong direction.

"Map!" Yamazaki shouted.

After the map soldiers rushed over to unfold the map, Yamazaki inspected and immediately found the problem. There was an error in the direction of travel. A considerable distance in lateral offset.

"idiot!"

Enraged, Yamazaki shot his bow left and right, hitting the map soldier until his mind was buzzing.

The adjutant on the side asked: "There is a deviation in the direction we are going, and we are getting farther and farther away from our established goal. Sir, do we need to adjust our direction and move forward?"

Yamazaki thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Backing back now is very easy to be exposed. Since you have made a mistake, it is better to make the mistake and continue on. Maybe there will be new discoveries. Let's continue to move around the mountain!"

"Hi!"

Facts have proved that Yamazaki does have amazing military intuition. Not long after, a scout returned to Yamazaki and reported: "Report sir, we found a forest not far away. There is a gap at the end of the forest. Nowhere, after we investigated nearby, we found many traces in the woods, including footprints, traces of heavy objects being dragged, and even ruts and hoof prints, like mules and carts."

Yamazaki immediately realized that things had turned around.

"Take me there immediately!"

"Hi!"

After Yamazaki led the team and followed the two scouts for more than two miles, he found the large forest in the distance.

I also noticed the gap visible to the naked eye, which seemed to be embedded in the peak at the end.

After Yamazaki raised his binoculars to observe for a while, he thought for a while, and then gave an order: "Start to the end of the woods."

There was a strong intuition in his heart that there might be his long-awaited goal at the end of the woods.

The traces of ruts and horseshoe prints, could it be the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army?

Their degree of mechanization is very low, and they often use mule carts as their means of transportation.

If this is the case, then there is nowhere to find it, and it will take no effort to get it.

At the same time, on the other side, just as the Yamazaki Brigade was heading towards the forest belt, on a small soil slope 600 meters away, some dead branches that were originally integrated with the surrounding environment suddenly shook, and then Get out a big living person.

"No, it's little devils. They seem to be coming towards the sky. There are a lot of devils. They are covered by the forest, so I can't confirm the number, but I estimate that there must be at least 500 people. A large number of heavy machine guns were found in the team. There are even a lot of artillery, stones, I am watching here, you hurry up and go back to report the situation to the company commander."

The reconnaissance squad leader put down the binoculars and ordered.

"Yes!"

Shi Shi responded, turned around and ran away. He was thin and physically strong, and he had always been a scud in the scouting team.

In addition, when the stone returned to Yixiantian, it ran in a straight line, which was naturally much faster than the Yamazaki brigade who were groping all the way forward.

After about 10 minutes, Shitou rushed back to Yixiantian...
