Everyone's thinking is still stuck on how to deal with the unprecedented large-scale raids launched by the Japanese army in order to minimize the losses above and below the base!
Kong Jie actually put forward the idea of "victory without fighting".
Ding Wei couldn't help but urge: "Old Kong, don't be too pretentious. You know that when it comes to money, no one can compare to you, Boss Kong. How do you use food, grass and money to defeat the little devil? You should hurry up and tell me the key points.
!"
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Kong Jie smiled and continued: "Let's talk about it in general. We want to defeat the Japs in terms of food, grass and money. In the environment of our base area, we actually have a very big advantage.
The Japanese mobilized troops and mobilized troops on a large scale, even traveling dozens or hundreds of kilometers to carry out raids in our base areas.
If we can remain unchanged in response to all changes and continue to drag down the main force of the Japanese army, when the Japanese army's supplies are rapidly depleted, we will soon be able to bring them down!"
He changed the subject:
"Of course, it sounds simple, but it is still difficult to practice.
First of all, the logistics and transportation capabilities of the Little Devils are still very powerful. Coupled with their rapidly rebuilt roads and railway lines, they can ensure the supply of logistics.
In a short period of time, the main forces of the Japanese forces will not easily encounter logistical shortages during the sweep."
Li Yunlong immediately expressed his position: "There is nothing to say. It is an old rule. After the Japanese launch a big sweep, we can take the opportunity to send interleaved troops to fight in the rear of the Japanese to harass and cut off the Japanese's logistics lines."
Kong Jie nodded: "Old Li is right, this point is essential.
In addition, if you want to completely block the Japs in terms of logistics, in addition to harassing and cutting off the Japs' logistical transportation lines, you must also ensure that the Japs are unable to obtain materials and replenish supplies on the spot during the mopping up process."
"We all know very well in this regard that the little devils carry out large-scale raids from time to time, on the one hand to eliminate our Eighth Route Army troops, and on the other hand to plunder military supplies.
If we cannot quickly withdraw materials, food, etc. from the outer defense zone, once they fall into the hands of the Japanese, their material reserves will only become more and more abundant, and there will be no shortage problem at all.
Especially in the past two years, our various base areas have developed rapidly, and there is a lot of money to be made. I think one of the important purposes of the kidnapping this time is precisely for this money."
But how to solve this problem?
Kong Jie quickly gave the idea.
"We mobilized the villagers in each base area, and each person and household only saved five or six days of food. The rest of the food was hidden in designated locations. Every few days, our migrant workers' corps delivered food to the villagers.
Just ensure the supply.
Special treatment will be given in special times, and ideological work must be explained clearly to the villagers in advance.
This was to ensure that after the Japanese launched a large-scale raid, the villagers could evacuate quickly without having to carry too much food. When the Japanese raided the village, they would not be able to seize a few grains at all.
Besides, aren’t the little devils here just for our spring plowing?
The area around Jizhong is vast and cannot stop the Japanese attack. At worst, nothing will be cultivated.
Relying on the large amount of food stored previously, the soldiers tightened their belts and it was enough to carry him for two or three months.
The Japanese came to Jizhong for a large-scale sweep, but found nothing. Let me see what they swept away and how much supplies they had to deploy from other places to support such a huge army.
After the sweep is successful, we can replant some high-yielding potatoes. Otherwise, the food will be abundant and our soldiers and civilians will not be hungry.
Anyway, just procrastination, even if it means consuming materials, he can wear down the little devil.
The Japanese want to feed war with war and continue to carry out large-scale raids by plundering supplies from our base areas? What a dream!
We have to make the little devils realize that if we carry out a large-scale raid on our Eighth Route Army base area, the more raids we carry out, the poorer they will become. They may even be so poor that they don’t even have to wear trousers.”
"What about our Taihang area?" a student asked.
Kong Jie said: "Our Taihang area has enough depth, plus it is in a mountainous area, so the Japanese raids cannot come so quickly.
You can plant some pasture in the periphery, and the little devils and livestock who have the ability can grab the grass to eat.
We can grow some easy-to-harvest grains on the inside. After the Japs started their raids, we immediately started to harvest. According to the Japs’ usual habits, we would only start harvesting when our crops are about to mature.
In addition, you can actually grow some sorghum, black beans, etc.
The little devil who came in at this time was so hungry that he was dizzy. He didn't care about the coarse grains that were usually fed to livestock and just stuffed them into his stomach.
Coupled with the impact of drought, it is even more inconvenient to obtain water in this mountainous area, and the Japanese army cannot replenish sufficient water sources.
This time he's not hungry, he's full, and he can't even poop out!"
Everyone: "..."
This is not the end yet.
"In fact, while the little devils are engaged in blockade, we can also engage in defense.
You little devil spent a lot of energy to build a large number of strongholds, gun towers, trenches and trenches on the outside in order to block our Eighth Route Army base area. You even spent a lot of money to use concrete materials, and the defense was like a bastard shell.
So what?
If we don’t take the initiative to fight at all, wouldn’t it be a waste of resources?
Let's deploy our defenses. Anyway, our base area is not short of anything, except for the masonry, sand, soil and manpower.
Taking advantage of the rapidly expanding base area after this winter counteroffensive operation, which is thousands of miles deep, we will arrange fortifications at intervals of several hundred meters.
The important line of defense is even equipped with concrete structure fortifications, giving the little devil a headache.
In addition, trenches and tunnels must be connected in advance between fortifications so that they can be attacked and defended.
If the Japanese want to break in, well, then they have to carry out a tough battle, and they have to keep attacking.
At this point, our Eighth Route Army can consume a large amount of the Japanese's ammunition with some worthless stones and bricks. This is a battle that cannot be lost.
If these little devils want positions, we will give them to them. If they want some military buildings, we will give them to them. We will give them as much as they want. They can blow them up or destroy them as they please.
When the positions were constantly being conquered, the various military targets were being bombed, and the little devils were almost vomiting, they realized the problem."
"In this way, our main force will indeed be unable to get out, but the little devil's large army cannot easily break in either.
But the Japanese should not forget that when it comes to infiltration and small-scale guerrilla operations, our Eighth Route Army is their ancestor.
In addition, no matter how strong these fortifications are, they can protect against soldiers, but they will never be able to protect against businessmen, let alone domestic thieves within the Japanese and puppet troops.
Our main force cannot fight out, but it does not prevent us from continuing to do business with the enemy-occupied areas, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Central Army. It can even provide a stable business environment and take the opportunity to strengthen the base area and troops. Why not?
?"
After Kong Jie said his thoughts, his voice seemed to echo throughout the classroom.
What responded to him was a pair of widened eyes.
The soldiers probably never expected it.
How can this counter-mopping operation be fought like this!!!
The deputy chief of staff smiled and said to the boss: "Our Eighth Route Army's digging fortifications indeed consumes manpower, but the Japanese raids thousands of miles away consume even more manpower and materials.
This is a conspiracy. If the Japanese army mobilizes troops and mobilizes troops, even if they know that the situation is unfavorable, they will probably break their heads and try to break through into our base area.
An army thousands of miles away needs food from thousands of miles away. If it cannot win quickly and the enemy is starved of food, there will be no chance of victory. This is in line with Sun Tzu's thoughts on the Art of War.
Kong Jie can use food, grass and money to deal with the Japanese raids. His thinking is indeed novel!"
In the end, Teacher Kong took his first class in the sixth branch, which lasted for nearly three hours, far exceeding the usual duration of a class.
But none of the students thought the time was too long. On the contrary, they seemed to have participated wholeheartedly in a quite hearty confrontation between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army.
Originally proposed by Kong Jie, the Japanese might launch an unprecedented sweep in retaliation for this winter counteroffensive, which would bring oppression and worry to everyone.
Following the strategy proposed by Kong Jie to defeat the enemy economically, the situation was broken step by step.
The soldiers suddenly felt that even if the little devils launched such an unprecedented large-scale sweep, it seemed to be nothing!
After the teaching, the brigade commander especially found Kong Jie.
"Hurry up and write me a copy of "Economic Countermeasures to Counter the Enemy in Preparing for the Japanese Army's Great Sweep".
The brigade commander has a long-term vision and his judgment is more forward-looking.
The deployment of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment were based on the triangular defense system. That was what Ding Wei and Kong Jie discovered later.
Everything has been planned by the brigade commander.
After the winter counteroffensive ended, the brigade commander had actually been worried about the Japanese army launching a retaliatory sweep.
In today's class, Kong Jie used novel combat simulation teaching to directly simulate how to deal with the unprecedented sweep of the Japanese army.
The brigade commander was greatly pleased that his beloved general Kong Jie wanted to go with him.
The Deputy Chief of General Staff is even more interesting. The brigade commander asked Kong Jie what he wanted was an economic strategy to deal with the enemy in response to the Japanese raids.
What he wants is the existing organizational structure of a team, including economic construction, troop construction, detailed preparation and development of all aspects of the base area, and even pre-construction, etc.
To put it simply.
The deputy chief of staff wants to know the specific situation of the current development of a team and what the future blueprint looks like.
"Having a good example but not calling on other soldiers to follow suit is the fault of the superior commander. So, Kong Jie, I'm wondering if I can use your team as a standard template to build our Eighth Route Army.
The Steel Division of the Army."
This is like taking out the study notes of a good student for other students to admire and learn from.
After Kong Jie agreed, he transferred the task to political commissar Li Wenjie.
The next morning, a planning document regarding the current construction and development of a team, as well as the dual economic and military development of the future base area, was placed in front of the deputy chief of staff, the boss and other generals.
So far, the main strength of a team has been expanded from the first independent regiment to the fifth independent regiment.
Let’s not mention these five main combat regiments for now.
There is only one team directly under the combat force, including the "direct artillery regiment (composed of the original mountain artillery battalion and the infantry artillery battalion), the armored corps (composed of hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles and various modified combat vehicles), semi-mechanized heavy equipment
Troops, Engineer General Battalion, Field Supply Corps, Engineering Construction and Maintenance Corps, Reconnaissance and Training Corps, Communications Corps, Chemical Defense Corps, Air Defense Artillery Battalion, Assault Training Corps, Military Industry, Logistics, Finance Department, etc.
In addition, there are migrant workers' groups, the construction of various factories, the development of Huasheng Company, the creation of the financial system, the growing business chain, etc.
After all these were added up and compiled into documents, there were dozens of them, and then all the introductions were completed.
Kong Jie has many novel and unique features in his transformation of a team.
In this regard, the Deputy Chief of General Staff and his entourage did not know, but were shocked when they saw it.
I really didn’t expect that without even realizing it, a team would develop into such a strong force.
Even the boss lamented this, "Kong Jie has built up a rich family. Why does this comparison make me think that our headquarters has become a pauper?"
The deputy chief of general staff agreed with this and even joked with a smile: "Boss, if you say that, you have to go to the brigade commander."
Then some cadres looked puzzled: "What are you asking the brigade commander for?"
"The brigade commander watches every day, and even makes a phone call to ask for some equipment when nothing happens. This allows Kong Jie to expand the team to such a scale. Tell me, isn't this the fault of the brigade commander?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The deputy chief of staff asked rhetorically, and the cadres all laughed.
The brigade commander expressed his unjust accusation. That boy Kong Jie was really cunning, and his so sincere behavior in the past few years made everyone look at him.
Every time something was seized, he took the initiative to hand it over, and the brigade commander was even a little embarrassed. Who knew that this kid actually made a fortune quietly and developed quietly.
After the jokes are over, let’s talk about the topic.
The deputy chief of staff pointedly pointed out, "Boss, tell me, do we really need to be fully prepared in advance, as Kong Jie said, in order to prevent the Japanese army from launching a retaliatory sweep of unprecedented scale at any time?
?"
"What do you think?" the boss asked back.
"I think the reason why the Huangyadong defense battle was able to go so smoothly is that Comrade Kong Jie's very foreseeable and advanced military defense construction suggestions are absolutely indispensable!"
The Deputy Chief of General Staff did not express his position clearly, but the implication was very obvious.
It was because of Kong Jie's advance military defense advice that the Huangyadong Arsenal was prepared for a rainy day. After the Japanese army launched a sneak attack on the Huangyadong Arsenal, they successfully won the defense battle.
So if Taihang, including the base areas in Jizhong, can adopt these foreseeable suggestions put forward by Kong Jie in advance, then they will definitely be prepared.
"Then what else is there to say? Even you said so!"
The boss smiled, and he was thinking about another thing now, "You said that in the first lesson of the Sixth Branch, this boy Kong Jie used this kind of battle simulation to foresee the possible large-scale raids by the Japanese army in advance. What is this?
Is it for the students to see, or is it deliberately for us to see?"
The deputy chief of staff smiled and kicked the ball directly.
"Then you have to ask Kong Jie!"
Afterwards, he said with emotion, "Kong Jie has been really impressive in the past two years. Sometimes his forward-looking foresight even makes me feel shocked and admired.
Privately, I was even wondering whether this boy Kong Jie would have known the direction in which this anti-Japanese war would develop, right?"
The boss smiled and said: "If that's the case, then let's have some fun! Now that there's a real Zhuge in the team, can we still win this war of resistance against Japan?"
Hahahaha——
While they were talking and laughing, the correspondent rushed to the room to report: "Report to the boss, Reporter Shen said he wants to see you!"
The boss was stunned for a moment, "What does Comrade Xiao Shen want from me? Invite people in quickly!"
