...Kong Jie looked at the huge combat map hanging in front of the conference room, covering almost half of China, and said seriously:
"Comrades, if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region; if you don't plan for the eternity, you can't plan for a moment."
"For more than a year, our regiments have called on all soldiers to continue to study cultural classes and study some military theory and art of war books. I don't need to say more about what this sentence means."
At this point, everyone still doesn’t understand what Kong Jie wants to express.
Kong Jie smiled and did not explain directly. Instead, he talked about the step-by-step historical process of a team's development from an independent regiment to its current size.
"Until the spring of 1940, the equipment of our army, which had been developed for a year or two, was still backward. Ammunition was very scarce. No two people in the regiment could carry a gun. At that time, the equipment level of the army was not even as good as ours.
The militia forces currently under its jurisdiction.
One can imagine how difficult the environment of the Anti-Japanese War was at that time.
But what happened next?
In the battle of Cangyunling, we still defeated the Bantian regiment from the front, and also defeated the old devil Bantian, and became famous in one battle!"
When talking about the history of the old independent regiment, the cadres participating in the meeting all puffed up their chests and felt a sense of pride.
The third regiment commander Shen Quan even smiled and said: "Old regiment commander, back then we were short of guns and artillery, and the whole regiment only had one mortar. Even then, we still dared to break through from the front, and even knocked out the Sakata Regiment with one shot.
Headquarters.
Now, our equipment level and logistics materials, including the economy of the base area, have developed rapidly, and we are even more worthy of being like little devils!"
"Well said! Over the years, our Eighth Route Army has been making continuous progress, and it can even be said to be changing with each passing day. On the other hand, the little devils have not only been engaged in multi-front operations, but also with the continuation of the war, they have long been unable to continue.
Due to the ebb and flow, today's little devils are, to put it bluntly, just paper tigers. They look scary, but as long as we work harder, we can tear them apart at any time."
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
The five team leaders present all looked confident.
In fact, according to the original characters of these group leaders, after the topic of Kong Jie was brought up, the group leaders could not brag and boast about how far the equipment level of their groups had developed. But no one expected that the style of painting would change.
First, Wang Leihu, the most outspoken among the group leaders, said:
"Old Shen, I heard that your third regiment has made a fortune recently. The artillery battery has been expanded into an artillery battalion, right? I heard that the total of mountain artillery and infantry artillery is no less than 20. You kid is going to heaven.
!
The intensity of artillery fire possessed by your third regiment is comparable to that of our headquarters artillery regiment a few years ago, right?"
"Hey, Thunder Tiger! You can't say that. Where am I? Our base areas and units have developed very fast in recent years. With my little family background, these artillery pieces really can't be put on the stage.
.
If you want to say something, you can talk about the group, but the group has been hanging around under the nose of the old leader.
Lao Lei is a guy who gets closer to the water and gets the better. He may have developed to what extent with the support of the old group leader!"
"That's true!" Wang Leihu agreed.
Lei Dasheng, the leader of the first regiment, quickly denied it and said: "You two, please don't talk nonsense. I am not as good as you two old regiments. I have the foundation of the old battalion of our old independent regiment, and my family background is very rich.
”
"If you want to say that someone has made a fortune quietly, it has to be the Fourth Regiment Leader!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the group leaders immediately focused on Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Group who had remained silent.
"Lao Wang, stop pretending. Every time when we talk about the seizure, you always keep silent, but in the end, when you speak, you always startle everyone. I don't think Lao Lei is right at all.
Wrong, among our groups, I guess your four groups have already been extremely rich, right?"
Chen Quan took the words and said:
"That's for sure. The Fourth Regiment has been fighting in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The entire Zhongtiao Mountain area, including many counties, base areas, and guerrilla zones in southern Shanxi, can be covered by the Fourth Regiment.
Some time ago, after the fighting broke out around the Huangyadong Arsenal, the Taihang Base, Datong, Licheng and other parties, I heard that the Fourth Regiment was not idle on the Zhongtiao Mountain side, and took the opportunity to seize the Japanese army.
There are many mines in Yuncheng area.
It even includes some copper and iron ores necessary for military industry.
Even our detachment headquarters has continuously transferred corresponding military personnel and equipment to the Fourth Regiment base area.
Lao Wang, stop hiding it and talk to everyone about how far your four groups have developed now."
Wang Huaibao laughed twice. How could he confess so easily? On the contrary, he said happily:
"Otherwise we would say that intellectuals are too narrow-minded!
You said that our old independent group had such a good style in the past. We didn’t hide anything we had to say and just said whatever came to mind.
Every time we battalion commanders fight for each other, no one gives in to anyone, but unlike now, each of us is more humble. Why, is it popular in business to flatter each other now?"
Business bragging is a popular word used by Kong Jie to lead a team.
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing.
The promising development situation made the atmosphere of the whole meeting particularly relaxed.
Kong Jie stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to quiet down and then continued:
"From the early spring of 1940, the year after we defeated Sakata United.
The issue I have been considering is mainly the defense construction of the base area.
This is also very helpless, due to our lack of logistics and insufficient equipment, so we can only rely on the terrain advantages of mountainous areas and suburbs to fight guerrilla warfare with the little devils and drag the Japanese army with them.
After that, the three regiments of our Iron Triangle formally established a joint defense system to jointly respond to the Japanese army’s mopping up attacks.
It not only enhances the overall defensive stability, but also has a certain counterattack capability in the face of Japanese raids.
This can be said to be an innovative style of play that combines in-depth defense in our base areas with mobile defense in friendly base areas.
The purpose is to jointly resist the Japanese attack, wait for opportunities to ambush the Japanese and sweep away the troops, and attack the enemy's rear-occupied areas in a roundabout way.
By 1941, the issue I had been thinking about was how to use mechanized forces to carry out elastic defense and elastic offense based on the mechanization of some mobile forces.
The purpose is to maintain the strategic offensive capabilities of the troops on the premise of joint defense with friendly forces, and to study how to march long distances and raid the enemy's weak areas.
In 2042, this year, our team will face new challenges.
What is that?
It is a question of how to carry out comprehensive defense and local counterattack with the support of mechanized troops, and at the same time help each base area establish its own economic system, military production system, and base area defense system.
At the same time, we should also promote the field operation of mobile units in various base areas and further improve the overall strength of our Eighth Route Army."
What Kong Jie said was so inspiring that the group leaders present were filled with emotion and admiration.
This is the pattern and long-term vision of our old group leader!
When the old regiment leader led the independent regiment, he probably had already considered the development of the army and the construction of the base many years later.
As the leader of an independent regiment, and later the detachment leader of a team, the old regiment leader never only considered the development of his own base area, but also the surrounding base areas, even the Eighth Route Army units in various provinces, and even the New Fourth Army in the south.
The development of the army.
This kind of structure and courage are really not something ordinary people can possess.
"Old leader, what is our strategic goal for 43 years?"
Wang Huaibao, the leader of the fourth regiment, couldn't help but ask.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's a preliminary plan!
After 43 years... Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, after the retaliatory sweep launched by the Japanese army is successfully completed.
The war situation at that time was basically predictable. The Japanese army no longer had enough strength to launch a large-scale raid, and their defense was at best a symbolic raid and attack.
The only thing the Japanese can do is to station themselves firmly in major counties, towns and towns and guard some important transportation lines.
At this time, the Japanese army is far from enough to contain the development of our Eighth Route Army troops and the construction of base areas.
What we should consider at this time is to take the initiative to launch local counterattacks against the Japanese army after the base areas have developed as a whole, regain remote counties, and further reduce the Japanese occupied areas.
At the same time, we took the initiative to defeat the enemy's local raids and exercise the troops' field combat capabilities.
In addition, further breakthroughs must be made in the construction of each base area, strengthening the connection between each other, and even gradually shifting the economic focus of the entire region to the base area of our Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese-occupied areas were gradually put at an economic disadvantage, thus reaching the point where they could defeat the enemy without fighting.
If one day the little devils guarding the main counties, towns and towns don’t even have enough to eat, will this battle still be unwinnable?
Let alone a war, the Japanese are even willing to take out all their guns, ammunition and artillery just to exchange for a few kilograms of food with us."
What a confident argument!
A few years ago, cadres would not have dared to think this way, but now with the development of the situation, it seems that all this will be in the near future.
"Lao Kong, what will happen in 1944?"
At this time, even Chief of Staff Xu Guoan couldn't sit still and asked curiously.
He was also surprised by Kong Jie's long-term plan.
"The year 1944...or it can be said to be the year 1944 to 1945. These two years can basically be connected together. The battle has reached this point and the situation has basically stabilized.
Even if the Japanese army is not defeated and surrenders, it is still not far away.
The Japanese army, which fights on multiple fronts, faces more opponents than just China. Even if it is a conservative estimate, after 45 years, even if the Japanese do not surrender, they will gradually be at a disadvantage in the continued war until they are completely defeated by us.
”
"So, from 1944 to 1945, I think our strategic intention was very clear: to integrate the military industry and economy of each base area, and to go further, to use military operations to continuously shrink the scope of the Japanese occupation area and attack the effective strength of the Japanese army.
In Rehe, Chahar established a channel and gradually advanced to the outer Xing'an Mountains area, trying to penetrate into the northeast and fight a long tug-of-war with the Japanese.
This is the last step to pull the plug. Since the Japs invaded China, the Puppet Manchukuo, which has been under their complete control since the September 18th Incident, can be said to be the multiple military, economic, military, and political centers of the Japs.
It can be said to be the heart of the Japanese army.
It will not be enough to completely defeat the Japanese army without completely destroying the heart of the Japanese."
Speaking of this, Kong Jie also made a joke:
"I am really not just being alarmist. According to the gambler nature of the little devil, the area of the tiny island country is less than 1/2 the size of our northeast. Whether it is mineral resources or vast land, the island country is far behind.<
/p>
Believe it or not, if we are really pushed into a hurry, our Eighth Route Army has a tactic of changing the country, and the little devil may be so crazy that he will just change the country!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Xu Guoan even looked horrified and said: "Lao Kong, do you mean that the Japanese might even abandon their homeland and forcibly occupy the Northeast?"
"It may not be impossible. Once gamblers get crazy, they will not play their cards according to common sense!"
Kong Jie solemnly said: "So, in the Northeast region, we must prepare and plan in advance, and we must not give the little devil any chance.
The Japanese army has always had a tradition of subjugating superiors. After supporting the puppet Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army became increasingly ambitious. They may not even be willing to listen to the emperor.
Even if all the little devils in this pass are defeated, I guess the Kwantung Army will still carry it to death."
Xu Guoan nodded, Lao Xu still had his own opinions:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Anti-Japanese War has been going on for so many years, and now even the Nationalist Government has declared war on Japan. Judging from the situation, our hope of winning this war has become stronger and stronger.
If nothing else happens, it will be a matter of time before the little devil is defeated and surrenders.
And once the Japanese surrender, as we have discussed before, the biggest achievement of the Japanese army for so many years is the heavy industrial base, economic construction, and massive material reserves in the three northeastern provinces!
We cannot just let others take away this final fruit of victory, and we must beware of the little devils plundering a large amount of materials and wealth from our land after defeat.
Lao Xu, what you said is absolutely right, we need to prepare in advance!"
Kong Jie smiled.
"I am telling you this just to give you some precautions in advance.
For now, let’s talk about how to use the cover of this collective military wedding to follow the instructions of our superiors to attack Licheng again and completely break the Japanese army’s overall deployment of the battle plan..."
The meeting officially got down to business, and the cadres discussed each other word by word.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that the meeting officially ended, and each regiment leader quickly and secretly left the detachment headquarters with combat missions.
The entire conference room became empty again, with only Kong Jie, Li Wenjie, Xu Guoan, and deputy team leader Zhong left.
It was still early, Kong Jie looked at the sky in the distance, and suddenly smiled and said:
"It's true that people feel so refreshed during happy events. I slept for less than four hours last night, but I'm still very energetic today!"
Lao Zhongle said: "Is it okay if it's not perfect? Won't the bride be disappointed at night?"
