1188 The revolution is not yet complete, comrades still need to work hard
The new journey is full of challenges.
Originally, the victory of the battle around Datong and Zhangjiakou, and the successful elimination of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, made the generals happy.
But as Wang Huaibao said, and everyone spoke again, they suddenly discovered that the road to revolution is still full of difficulties.
Although North China has won successive battles.
But this is ultimately because the main combat troops of the Eighth Route Army are gathered in North China.
In Central China, East China, including the Northeast region, the Japanese army still held an absolute advantage and completely blocked all anti-Japanese armed forces militarily.
On the frontal battlefield, Chiang's army was beaten and retreated steadily. It was impossible to make progress and it was barely possible to protect itself.
The anti-Japanese situation remains grim!
Even in North China, where the anti-Japanese situation is the best, as Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said: "Through the intelligence we have collected from many sources, it is not difficult to find that the Japanese army's combat methods against our Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines seem to have made fundamental adjustments to the situation.
They no longer send their troops out at will or enter our base areas to carry out raids.
The Japanese even retracted all the troops from some secondary counties, towns and towns on the outer lines, and concentrated their forces to stick to some important counties, towns, towns and transportation lines, forming a confrontation with us.
From a certain perspective, this is indeed the result of our victory in the battle, which further stabilized the anti-Japanese situation behind enemy lines.
But from another aspect, we have to admit that when the Japanese no longer take the initiative to attack, but choose to shrink their troops and stick to it, they will become a coward.
We really don’t have any good way to pry open the devil’s turtle shell!”
Ding Wei echoed: "In our fight against the Japanese over the years, we have always advocated one policy, which is to beat the Japanese to pain and fear.
Now it was really painful to beat the Japanese, and as a result, the Japanese began to behave like cowards.
If we continue to follow the original strategic policy to deal with the little devils, I am afraid that the effect will not be so obvious."
"Damn it, this little son of a bitch doesn't deserve a beating, he doesn't feel happy!" Li Yunlong cursed.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Although people have no long-term worries, they must have immediate worries, but you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and the road has to be walked step by step, so take your time!
At least after this war, our base areas and units do need some time to repair and develop.
Taking advantage of this period of time, let's think carefully about how to deal with this little devil who is just a coward."
The great and pure revolutionary martyrs possess not only a strong spirit of patriotism, a fearless spirit of sacrifice, but also a spirit of revolutionary optimism.
After the unpleasant topic was discussed, Kong Jie changed the topic and said with a smile:
"Comrades, this great victory is indeed something worthy of celebration, and there is another happy event that I have to tell you about.
If my estimate is good, it won’t be long before we can drink the wedding wine of an old comrade again!"
"Oh, who is it?" Commander Wang asked impatiently.
Cough cough cough——
Kong Jie looked directly at Li Yunlong, smiling heartily, "I said, Lao Li, your progress is good. You really can't delay fighting a war and finding a wife!"
How could Li Yunlong admit it? He pretended to be confused and said, "Old Kong, what do you mean by this? Why can't we understand?"
Ding Wei was even more puzzled: "Old Kong, you are not mistaken, are you? With Li Datou's virtues, how can any girl fall in love with him?"
Kong Jie said: "I'm quite surprised by this. Who would have thought that Lao Li would be as happy and efficient in fighting a war as he was in courting his wife.
In just a few days, Lao Li went back and forth to the Zhaojiayu Women's Rescue Association four or five times. Every time he went there with large and small packages of gifts and various condolences, he came back empty-handed.
As soon as the battle to encircle and annihilate the 14th Division was over, our generals led their troops back to the base area to reorganize the troops. But guess what Lao Li did? He first went to the Women's Rescue Association to tell stories.
went!"
Li Yunlong: "..."
"Is this really true?" Ding Wei asked in surprise.
"Damn it, Lao Kong, I'm telling you that as the person in charge of the first base area, you don't do your business, you just panic when you have nothing to do, and you stare at our Lao Li all day long?" Li Yunlong couldn't hold it in anymore and started to curse.
Before Kong Jie could speak, Ding Wei, Commander Wang and his party took the lead in launching the offensive.
"Good old Li, this work is being carried out in a very confidential manner!"
"That's it, hurry up and tell the big guys what's going on, tell the truth, be honest, be lenient if you confess, and be lenient if you resist!"
Zhao Gang even pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Old Li, I will take care of the things in life that you agreed to. What is your personal problem? You don't even know about such a big thing as a political commissar. You are too ignorant."
That’s right!”
"Don't, don't, don't! What are you doing? Don't we, Lao Li, just want to get a wife? Why, is it against the king's law to get a wife? Are you going to be tried in three halls one by one?"
If you want to have a joint trial, you should also interrogate others, just say that he is Lao Kong, not to mention that he married his wife a long time ago, the baby is about to be born, and we, Lao Li, are still far behind!"
Li Yunlong defended, but in the end he couldn't win over everyone, so he had to tell the story about himself and Yang Xiuqin, director of the Women's Rescue Society.
Of course, according to Li Yunlong's style, it is indispensable to add fuel and vinegar.
"What else do you think? Haha, why did our old Li say that he was a handsome young man from all over the country? Comrade Xiu Qin just took a look at him and hey, he took a fancy to our old Li, and no one else looked down on him.
!
Ding Big Nose, what's your expression?
Let me tell you, if you go to the Women’s Rescue Society, other lesbians won’t even raise their eyebrows, so how can you compare with me, Lao Li?”
Ding Wei's words were not sharp enough, and he drank heavily due to the rebuke.
"Okay, Lao Li, I can't afford to mess with this guy who has a wife, but I can afford to hide, so that's okay, right?
Just tell me when the wedding will take place?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Lao Li and I have agreed that I will take care of life matters. It just so happens that we have won a big victory this time. I think it is better to have a double happiness. It should be done sooner rather than later."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then hurry up and pick an auspicious day!" Kong Jie said peacefully. According to the information provided by Aunt Zhang, the deputy director of the Women's Rescue Society, Xiu Qin's heart has already been
He was seduced away by Li Yunlong.
According to Aunt Zhang's narration, Lao Li has little experience in falling in love, so he just plays straight as if it were a war.
Kong Jie can almost imagine that situation:
Li Yunlong won the battle, made some seizures, eagerly prepared some supplies, and took him to the Women's Rescue Association. He stuffed good things into Xiu Qin's hands. After going back and forth, even a blind man knew what Li Yunlong was thinking.
Already.
It just so happens that girls of this period are simple-minded, and Xiu Qin is a woman who dares to love, hate, and make revolutions, and has new ideas in the new era, so she still accepts this trick.
After this back and forth, although the window was still close to being broken, the two people's feelings for each other were basically gone.
Otherwise, Mr. Li wouldn't have been bragging.
There are some things that Lao Li is right about.
Finally, everyone unanimously decided on an auspicious day, and just one week later, Li Yunlong's wedding was held at the Experimental Military Region.
…
…
The third day.
At the end of the battle, a post-war summary meeting was routinely held at the headquarters, presided over by the boss and the deputy chief of staff. Participants included the commanders of the military regions participating in the war, the commanders of the special forces, and the brigade commanders of each department.
Everyone, including Commander Fu, secretly attended the post-war summary meeting.
After the meeting started, the boss spoke first and pointed out the theme. Then the generals from all walks of life put forward some discussions and opinions on their own operations in this battle.
Commander Fu, who was a heavyweight participant at the meeting, said with a smile: "Despite the good publicity this time, the Japanese army achieved its campaign objectives and captured Datong and Zhangjiakou.
Our 35th Route Army also represented Chiang Kai-shek's troops and captured the base of the Mongolian Army, and also severely damaged the Morita Chariot Division of the Mongolian Army.
But in fact, it is you who have gained the most.
But I won't lie. This time, with the cooperation of our air force's firepower reinforcements, our 35th Route Army successfully captured Baotou and other places, and the situation in western Inner Mongolia became increasingly clear.
I think trying to open up a channel to enter the Northeast region can also be put on the agenda."
As soon as these words came out, the generals were all excited.
Commander Fu then changed the subject and looked at Kong Jie. He was now more and more interested in Kong Jie.
When the 35th Route Army ambushed the Morita Tank Division, as the head of the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit, he stated that he would send air firepower to reinforce the 35th Route Army. This was the decision made by Kong Jie.
Because of this, Commander Fu felt that he owed Kong Jie a favor.
"Lao Kong, what do you think about the follow-up situation of our resistance against Japan?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Yi Gong, let me tell you, from now on, we can no longer call it resistance to Japan. We can change our thinking and call it destroying the Japanese, attacking the Japanese aggressors and wiping out the Japanese army.
There is an old saying in China: debts must be repaid with money, murders must be repaid with lives, and blood debts must be repaid with blood.
Since the Japanese invasion of China, countless crimes have been committed on our land. Now, in this way, it is time for us to recover the interest bit by bit.
Kill, kill the little devil with a broken liver and gallbladder. Only the one who can escape from our country is considered capable!"
After finishing his domineering remarks, Kong Jie jumped into the topic again:
"Now with the development of equipment and the growth of our Eighth Route Army troops, I think the war model has entered a new stage.
In this war, our army invested in Type 42 ordinary and heavy tanks, new fighter jets, new semi-automatic rifles, and new light and heavy machine guns. This has initially formed our own weapons system.
It has also been equipped with mortars of various calibers, barrel artillery, as well as new trucks, tractors, etc., and has achieved great success through actual combat testing.
The emergence of these new equipment will also bring revolutionary changes to our military's combat model.
From now on, our Eighth Route Army troops can also fight during the day and by railways and roads. They no longer have to go through ravines and take narrow paths.
But everything has pros and cons.
This new situation is also a great test for our field army commanders and fighters.
If we, commanders who are accustomed to the old combat model, cannot change our thinking in time and adapt to the current war model, it will be very troublesome.
Therefore, I suggest that we should especially strengthen the traditional military cadres' learning of new tactics such as ground-air cooperation, infantry-artillery cooperation, and infantry-tank cooperation.
It would be best to transfer commanders with experience in new frontline combat command to the rear and establish a special teaching and experiment base to enhance the command capabilities of our military cadres under the new combat situation.
In addition, we can also conduct military exercises corresponding to new types of warfare to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops in actual combat.
Learning war in war, we are not afraid of falling behind. As long as we keep catching up, there will always be a time when we can completely surpass the Japanese and crush the Japanese army in all aspects."
You all nodded after hearing this, thinking about Kong Jie's proposal, Commander Fu even sighed with emotion:
"I never understood why your Eighth Route Army was able to fight tenaciously despite being in such a difficult and dangerous environment behind enemy lines. Not only was it not wiped out by the Japanese army, but it was also able to gradually develop and grow.
Now it is becoming clearer and clearer.
In addition to his own beliefs, patriotism, and tenacious fighting will.
What's more important is your mentality of continuous self-improvement and continuous learning and improvement. In this regard, those old warlord troops are far beyond comparison."
continue the meeting.
Kong Jie made another suggestion. He believed that this winter, the Taihang area, Luliang area, including western Inner Mongolia, had gradually become a solid base.
You can try to change your policy from one that prioritizes military affairs to one that develops both military and economy.
On the one hand, we integrate military production, and on the other hand, we develop the economy, strengthen the army, and at the same time improve the economic conditions of the people in the base areas.
Commander Fu agreed: "From this point of view, Lao Kong, your Special Experimental Military Region is the best example of success. The base area is stable, the army is strong, and the economy is booming. This is the prosperous state that the anti-Japanese revolutionary base area should have.
ah!"
Let's continue the discussion.
According to the current situation of troop construction, all the armored and mechanized units of the Iron Triangle Army will be almost the size of an integrated armored division.
The 129th Division has an armored regiment.
The 386th and 385th brigades each have an armored regiment.
The 120th Division has an armored regiment in Luliang Mountain.
There is an armored regiment in the Jizhong Military Region.
There are also many independent armored battalions and independent armored companies in other major military regions.
The headquarters also has armored forces and rapid reaction forces directly under it.
Commander Fu's 35th Route Army also has an armored division.
Of course, the strength of the armored forces here should be that of the Iron Triangle Army.
But when everyone put it together, the base area was too large. If we wanted to start a full-scale war with the Japanese, just relying on these mechanized troops would still not be enough.
The battle around Datong and Zhangjiakou only revolved around one point, which was barely enough.
If we want to fully fight the Japanese army, we need to be at least ten times, or even dozens of times, larger than what we are now in order to try to fight against all aspects of the Japanese forces.
In addition, there is the regular construction of the artillery force. If you want to compete with the Japanese army, which has an extremely deep military industry foundation and a large number of artillery of various types, the task is unimaginably arduous.
so……
"After all, we still need to vigorously develop! The current situation is still severe for us, the revolution has not yet been completed, and comrades still need to work hard!" the deputy chief of staff concluded.
