Mansion Bay, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

When the boss heard the news that the Independent Group was defeated at home, he flew into a rage, slammed a tea bowl on the ground, and then yelled: "What the main group, shit! I think he is making dough!"

"Totally stupid pig-like command!"

"A regiment was beaten to the ground by a small Japanese army in front of their home. It's so humiliating. It's so humiliating!"

"A leader like this is only worthy of feeding livestock!"

"Go and remove that regiment leader!"

The signal soldier responded with a bang: "Yes!"

After the communications soldier left, the boss came behind the desk and looked at the map for a while, then said to Commander Liu of the 129th Division: "We have to find someone to reorganize the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. We can't collapse like this!"

Commander Liu nodded: "Yes, if you want to manage the army, you must first select generals, but I don't know, boss, who are you going to send to take charge?"

The boss fell silent.

The Independent Regiment had just lost a battle. If they wanted to rebuild their morale, they had to choose a strong general. An ordinary commander was of no use at all.

Originally, the boss's first thought was Li Yunlong, but after the Battle of Cangyunling, because this boy captured a Japanese army flag, when he was happy, he gave him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds.

Now we can't transfer Li Yunlong from the new group, right?

Miscalculation, really miscalculation, Li Yunlong should have been withdrawn from the beginning!

Seeing that the boss fell silent, Mr. Liu reminded: "Boss, isn't Ding Wei still reporting on his work at the headquarters? I think he is a good candidate!"

The boss slapped his forehead: "Yes, why did you forget this kid!"

"Go, pass my order and have Ding Wei call over immediately!"

"yes!"

A messenger responded with a bang, then turned and left.

Not long after, Ding Wei hurried into the headquarters, saluted the boss, and asked for instructions: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

The boss nodded: "Do you know about the independent group?"

Ding Wei: "I know a little bit."

Yangcun is only two kilometers away from the Mansion Bay headquarters. Of course he knew that such a big thing had happened.

The boss was still angry and said: "This independent regiment actually let a small Japanese army beat down in front of the house. This is a great shame and humiliation for our Eighth Route Army!"

"Therefore, I have decided to remove Kong Jie from his post as the former leader of the Independent Regiment, and you will be the one to take over!"

"yes!"

Ding Wei stood up and saluted.

As a commander, Kong Jie's poor command led to the defeat of the army, so his dismissal was understandable. In addition, the boss was angry now, so Ding Wei did not immediately intercede for his old friend.

Boss: "Get ready and go take office early tomorrow morning!"

Ding Wei stood up and saluted again: "Yes!"

After waiting for a while, Ding Wei seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "By the way, boss, I heard that although this group of Japs is not large in number, their equipment is extremely sophisticated, and they can use automatic firearms..."

Before he finished speaking, the boss raised his hand and interrupted: "Ding Wei, I know you have a good relationship with Kong Jie, but if you suffer a defeat, you should be punished. The army is not a place where people are so sophisticated, so if

If you want to plead for Kong Jie, you don’t have to!"

Ding Wei: "Boss, you misunderstood!"

With that said, Ding Wei walked to the conference table, pointed at the map and said: "Boss, look here is Yangcun, here is our location, Mansion Bay, and this is the marching route of the Japanese."

"I wonder if you discovered anything?"

Who is the boss? He looked at the map and pondered for a moment, and soon realized something: "You mean, the target of this Japs is actually our headquarters, not the independent regiment?"

"good!"

Ding Wei nodded: "I speculate that this Japs must have learned that the location of our Eighth Route Army headquarters is in Mansion Bay, so they plan to attack our headquarters!"

"However, the news from the Japs seems to be delayed for a few days. They did not know that the independent regiment was transferred to Yangcun, and then tonight's battle took place."

"As soon as the gunshots were fired, the Japanese knew that they had been exposed and immediately withdrew."

"So, strictly speaking, it was the independent group that blocked the gunfire for our headquarters."

It must be said that Ding Wei's strategic vision and ability to analyze the battle situation are unique in the Shanxi North Iron Triangle.

And his analysis is almost completely consistent with the actual situation.

The boss fully agreed with Ding Wei's analysis. He didn't wait for Ding Wei to speak and said: "Even if the independent group blocked the gun for our headquarters, that is not the reason for Kong Jie to lose the battle, so don't mention the matter of begging for mercy again."

!”

Ding Wei: "Boss, I don't mean to plead for Kong Jie, but I just heard that you plan to let Kong Jie feed the horses. Is this overkill?

When Li Yunlong disobeyed orders on the battlefield, didn't you also give him a chance to make meritorious deeds?"

Boss: "Although Li Yunlong disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he won the battle and also captured a small Japanese alliance flag, which greatly boosted the morale of our army. Can this be confused?"

Ding Wei said with a smile: "Of course this cannot be confused. It's just that the Independent Regiment was the one that Kong Jie pulled up after all. Now that it has suffered a defeat, its morale has been extremely low. If Kong Jie is transferred away again, I'm afraid the military morale of the Independent Regiment will be

It will be more scattered.

Therefore, I want to keep Kong Jie as my deputy, do you think this will work?"

As he spoke, Ding Wei cast a look of help at the teacher on the side.

Mr. Liu immediately echoed: "Yes, boss, look, how about giving Kong Jie a chance?"

The boss thought for a while and said: "Seeing that the Independent Regiment is indeed a scapegoat for our headquarters, I can give Kong Jie a chance to stay in the Independent Regiment as the deputy leader!"

After saying this, the boss changed his voice and continued: "But if the Independent Group still makes dough after you go, I will not only remove Kong Jie from his post, but also punish you Ding Wei!"

Ding Wei was overjoyed and immediately raised his chest and promised: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

At this moment, a communications soldier came to the boss and reported: "Report to the boss, independent regiment combat report."

When the boss learned that the Independent Regiment had been defeated, it was not Kong Jie who reported it, but he learned it himself.

After all, the distance between Mansion Bay and Yangcun was only two kilometers. As soon as the gunfire rang out, the headquarters immediately dispatched scouts to investigate the situation.

When the boss heard that it was the battle report of the independent regiment, his expression that had softened a moment immediately turned gloomy again: "A defeated regiment, what else is there to report? Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Commander Liu took the independent regiment's combat report from the communications corps and read it carefully.

In this battle report, Kong Jie reported in detail the battle losses of the independent regiment, reflected on his command mistakes, and also reported the success of the new regiment in ambushing Yamamoto's special agent team at Maple Ridge and wiping out 35 people.
