Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 333 Coming Out
"Captain Kong, let's separate here."

In the evening, in the Taihang Mountains, Zhangye spoke to Kong Jie beside him.

"Well, Political Commissar Zhang, thank you for the material support from the Vanguard Regiment during this period."

After receiving the time of the general attack from Qin Yangming, Zhangye and Kong Jie prepared to go out with their troops.

After reaching a pass, the vanguard regiment needed to go to Ping'an County and prepare to cooperate with the special forces entering the county to capture the county.

The New 2nd Regiment headed to the upper reaches of the Dongzhang River to prepare to block the Japanese 11th Brigade.

Therefore, it is impossible for the two parties to always act together, they must separate.

This pass is where the two sides' troops separated.

Seeing that they were about to part, Kong Jie thanked Zhangye somewhat reluctantly.

There is no other way. During this period, the New Second Regiment has been following the Vanguard Regiment and has been provided with supplies by the Vanguard Regiment.

The Vanguard Regiment had so much supplies that even the New Second Regiment had a good time during this period.

All the soldiers of the New Second Regiment said that life with the Vanguard Regiment was more comfortable than the Chinese New Year.

You know, the material supply level of the New Second Regiment is not bad among the entire Eighth Route Army.

After all, following the three large regiments, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the Pioneer Regiment, the life of the New Second Regiment could not be too bad.

The three regiments would provide some support to the New Second Regiment from time to time, and the New Second Regiment had no shortage of basic supplies such as food.

But even so, the New Second Regiment believed that the days they spent eating with the Pioneer Regiment were just like the Chinese New Year.

This shows how high the level of material supply of the Vanguard Group has reached.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the Pioneer Regiment had meat for one meal a day and could eat to their heart's content made the soldiers of the New Second Regiment extremely envious.

Of course, this is also because the troops are about to fight, and it is a high-intensity battle, so food and other things are supplied freely.

It can be said that the supplies consumed during this period have basically consumed most of the dried meat and other things stored by the Vanguard Group.

The rest are reserved for use in preparation for battle.

At the same time, because the Pioneer Regiment had an open supply of supplies, the New Second Regiment also consumed a lot, and Kong Jie felt a little sorry.

Although he felt guilty, as the regiment commander, Kong Jie naturally hoped that the soldiers under his command could eat better.

So it is not surprising that Kong Jie felt reluctant to see the vanguard group leave.

After saying goodbye to Zhangye, Kong Jie looked at Zhangye with complicated eyes as he was leaving with the vanguard troops. Then he waved his hand and led his troops towards the north.

Because Kong Jie's side was still some distance away from the destination, in order to maintain concealment, Kong Jie needed to lead his troops along a mountain road.

As for Zhangye, after leaving the mountainous area, it is less than 20 kilometers away from Ping'an County.

So relatively speaking, there is no rush to get to Ping'an County.

All you need to do is take your troops to Ping'an County when the special forces take action.

However, during this period of time, the vanguard troops still need to find a suitable place as a temporary base.

If we continue to stay in the mountainous area, it will be safe, but if there are any changes in the county seat of Ping'an County, the troops will not be able to arrive in Ping'an County in time and will miss the opportunity to fight.

Therefore, Zhangye needs to find a suitable place with his troops to spend this period of time, and at the same time, he must be able to provide timely support to Ping'an County or launch an attack when an unexpected situation occurs in Ping'an County.

However, Zhangye did not do nothing during these many days in the mountains. He had already discussed a suitable place with Kong Jie.

……

"Political Commissar, we have found out the situation in Jijiabao. Jijiabao has surrendered to the Japanese. Now there is a company of puppet troops defending Jijiabao.

There were no Japanese devils, and their weapons and equipment were similar to those of ordinary puppet troops, with Jin-made Type 65 rifles, seven light machine guns, and one heavy machine gun.

Duan Dewu, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the vanguard regiment, told Zhangye the intelligence he had gathered and waited for Zhangye's order.

That’s right, the place Zhangye and Kong Jie found was Jijiabao, a fortress built by a large landlord and also a bandit’s den in Ping’an County.

Jijiabao is about ten kilometers away from Ping'an County, and there is no complex terrain nearby.

If any unexpected situation occurs in Ping'an County, the vanguard regiment's troops can advance lightly and reach the vicinity of Ping'an County in about half an hour.

At the same time, because Jijiabao is located between Zhangzhuang stronghold and Ping'an County, after taking Jijiabao, the independent regiment can also take a short rest in Jijiabao when it heads to Ping'an County.

The most important thing is that the puppet troops in Jijiabao were originally just servants and bandits. They were easy targets and could be easily captured.

Moreover, since there was no complicated terrain near Jijiabao, even if an attack was launched on Jijiabao, the fleeing puppet soldiers could be blocked in time to prevent them from going out to report the news.

Therefore, Zhangye and Kong Jie set their sights on Jijiabao.

Listening to Duan Dewu's report, Zhangye nodded, then turned to look at the battalion commander of the first battalion.

"Lao Luo, what do you think of attacking Jijiabao? Should we just attack directly or send a scout company to sneak in?"

Zhangye knew that his job was that of a political chief, and this was his first time conducting combat command.

Therefore, Zhangye did not dare to make a battle plan directly, but instead asked Luo Chengwen and others to seek advice from everyone.

Hearing Zhangye's question, Luo Chengwen spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Strong attack, direct strong attack, send the reconnaissance company to infiltrate, not to mention how much time this method will take.

Jijiabao is not a township, it is a fortress.

It is not so easy to sneak in. It would take too long and be too difficult to let the reconnaissance company sneak into Jijiabao and break through Jijiabao from the inside.

The reconnaissance company might also suffer losses due to some accidents... If the reconnaissance company suffers losses in order to capture Jijiabao, it would not be worth it.

Besides, it is almost dark now, and we don't have much time. We have to take Jijiabao in an hour at most... So I suggest a direct storming attack. I will lead the first battalion to use the Type 92 infantry gun to blow open the gate of Jijiabao and rush in to quickly end the battle.

The remaining troops surrounded Jijiabao to prevent anyone from escaping.

Before the attack, let the special forces company destroy the telephone lines that connect Jijiabao to the outside world.

Jijiabao is just a fort, it is impossible for it to be equipped with a radio station, I suggest you attack it directly."

Seeing Zhangye asking for his opinion, Luo Chengwen gave his suggestions without hesitation.

Listening to Luo Chengwen's advice, Zhangye turned his head and looked at Duan Dewu.

Although Duan Dewu was removed from the special operations team by Qin Yangming and appointed as the company commander of the reconnaissance company.

However, Duan Dewu's combat effectiveness declined due to a gunshot wound, and he is indeed not as good as others. It does not mean that Duan Dewu is not capable.

Duan Dewu, who was appointed by Qin Yangming as the captain of the reconnaissance company, must have some skills. If it weren't for the fact that the special operations team was directly under Qin Yangming, most of the time it would be led by Qin Yangming himself.

Otherwise, the captain of the special forces team would not be Duan Peng, but Duan Dewu.

Because Duan Dewu's brain works better than Duan Peng's, and he's better than Duan Peng at commanding troops in combat.

However, Duan Peng's martial arts skills are higher than Duan Dewu's, and when the special forces were not led by Qin Yangming, they would attack some artillery towers and strongholds, and there was no need for any command at all.

When command was needed, it was basically led by Qin Yangming himself.

Moreover, the special forces team has been downsized, so Duan Peng is capable enough to command thirty people.

So Duan Dewu was appointed by Qin Yangming as the company commander of the reconnaissance company.

Seeing Zhangye looking at him, Duan Dewu knew that Zhangye wanted to see what he thought.

Duan Dewu immediately spoke to Zhangye.

“Political Commissar, I do not support Captain Luo’s suggestion… Although the reconnaissance company conducted reconnaissance within a three-kilometer radius of Jijiabao,

But there was no guarantee that anything would be missed in such a large area, especially when it was about to get dark.

If someone else sneaks out of Ji Family Castle and we happen to open fire at this time.

If it was the Japanese who came and heard the artillery fire, they would definitely know that we were attacking Jijiabao.

So how can we hide our tracks?

I suggest that this task be handed over to our reconnaissance company. After dark, I will lead my men to climb the wall and sneak into Ji Family Castle to carry out the assassination.

There were only about a hundred puppet troops in Jijiabao, and they were mostly bandits and servants who had turned into puppet troops.

For our reconnaissance company, dealing with this kind of enemy is no more difficult than killing chickens.

I can guarantee that we can capture Jijiabao with only minor losses in the reconnaissance company.

Or our reconnaissance company can kill the enemies on the walls and watchtowers first, then sneakily open the gate and let the troops into the city."

Compared with Luo Chengwen's fierce attack, Duan Dewu was more cautious. He was worried that the sound of artillery would reveal the information of himself and others, so he wanted to use assassination to attack Jijiabao.

Moreover, Duan Dewu did not think that the puppet troops in Jijiabao could pose any danger to the soldiers of his reconnaissance company.

Although their reconnaissance company was a later formed unit, it does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the reconnaissance company is low.

The soldiers in the reconnaissance company were not the best selected from all the units of the regiment. Most of them were veterans of the vanguard regiment who were not selected into the special operations team.

Not to mention that the reconnaissance company under Duan Dewu are all elite selected from the veterans of the Vanguard Regiment.

Even if Duan Dewu was only leading an ordinary vanguard regiment combat company, Duan Dewu was confident that he could capture Jijiabao while controlling casualties.

Not to mention that the reconnaissance company under Duan Dewu is now the second most powerful unit in the vanguard regiment.

Luo Chengwen listened to Duan Dewu's suggestion and shook his head.

“This will take too long… Old Duan, if I don’t attack you, I can just launch a strong attack and force Jijiabao to surrender in half an hour.

Or just take over Jijiabao directly.

The longest time is no more than an hour.

But if the reconnaissance company uses assassination method to launch an attack on Jijiabao.

The puppet army will definitely choose to resist without knowing what is going on. Then it will take us longer to capture Jijiabao.

Although the regiment commander sent a telegram and set the time for the general attack.

But that was only the time when Captain Li and his men launched a general attack on the Zhangzhuang stronghold and the riverside strongholds.

It's not our side... The commander's telegram asked us to pay attention to the situation. If we receive a telegram from the special forces, we need to rush to Ping'an County as soon as possible and launch an attack on Ping'an County.

In other words, it is possible that we will receive a telegram from the special forces in an hour, and then we will have to launch an attack on the county seat of Ping'an County.

If the attack on Jijiabao takes too long, how can we support Pingan County?"

Luo Chengwen was worried that there would be time issues.

After all, there are indeed some big variables in Ping'an County, although a time has been agreed upon.

But this is not an exercise, this is a war, and plans can never keep up with changes.

Who knows if there will be any unexpected situation in Ping'an County?

What if Duan Peng and others defeated the Japanese commander in Ping'an County in advance, or controlled the city gate in advance, allowing them to launch the attack earlier.

If they were still in Jijiabao at that time, it would be a bit uncomfortable.

"Duan Dewu, are you sure you can lead the reconnaissance company to open the gate of Jijiabao within ten minutes?"

After listening to the suggestions of Duan Dewu and Luo Chengwen, Zhangye thought for a while and quickly asked Duan Dewu.

Listening to Zhangye's question, Duan Dewu recalled the outer defense of Jijiabao, and then spoke to Zhangye.

“Ten minutes is a bit short, I promise to open the gate of Ji Family Castle in fifteen minutes.

It won’t be more than twenty minutes at the latest.”

Duan Dewu told Zhangye a time with confidence.

“Twenty minutes is too long. I’ll give you fifteen minutes…fifteen minutes to open the gate of Ji Family Castle.

Luo Chengwen, after the gate is opened, you must lead your troops into the fort immediately.

I don't need you to force those puppet troops to surrender... No prisoners are needed this time!
Kill them all!"

Zhangye didn't want to consider the surrender of those puppet troops at all. Instead of wasting time forcing those puppet troops to surrender, it would be better to kill them all at once.

After those puppet soldiers surrendered, he had to assign people to look after them, which wasted a lot of time and would also disperse their already limited military forces.

Since forcing the puppet troops to surrender would not only waste time but also disperse manpower, it would be better to kill all the puppet troops during the attack.

Moreover, killing the puppet troops directly is much faster than forcing them to surrender.

Duan Dewu didn't feel anything after listening to Zhangye's words.

When he was in the special forces team, whenever the special forces team took action, it was basically impossible to leave anyone alive.

Luo Chengwen was a little surprised by Zhangye's order.
