Kong Jie continued, "This second matter was solemnly decided by the regiment headquarters. In order to complete the raid mission assigned by our superiors, our independent regiment decided to divide its forces and fight in all directions."
When Kong Jie said this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. This was exactly what Lao Li meant, which meant that Lao Li could legitimately recruit troops and go it alone.
"I think everyone is very experienced in dividing the troops into fighting. This time is similar to the past. After we divide the troops, the larger ones can be divided into battalions, while the smaller ones can be divided into companies, squads and platoons as separate combat units. It is not impossible.
”
"We can carry out small-scale operations, but if we have to attack with high frequency, the little devils will be so busy that they can't handle it at all. Then our opportunity will come."
"As for the third thing, I want to talk to you about how each battalion, company, platoon, or even squad should fight in the general direction after the troops are divided, and how to carry out subsequent seizures." "Let's talk about this combat issue first. After the large-scale training of our independent regiment soldiers during this period, coupled with the large and small battles fought since the Anti-Japanese War, everyone must have confidence in our combat effectiveness.
No worse than a little devil."
"But think about it, how many people do we have in our independent regiment? Even if we add the fourth battalion, we have 1,400 to 500 people."
"To be honest, what can we do with this small amount of troops? They are only about the size of a small army."
"So, after the troops are divided, our independent regiment alone will definitely not be enough."
"The plan given to everyone by the regiment headquarters is that after the troops are divided, whether they are companies, platoons or squads, they should combine with local army comrades and militia comrades to fight together, and jointly attack the Zhengtai Railway, large and small highway lines, stations,
Carry out raids and extermination operations on strongholds."
"Of course, when fighting, everyone must divide the order of battle. We are regular troops. We have the most ammunition and use the best weapons and equipment. We should shoulder this responsibility, fight at the forefront, and charge at the forefront.
Ahead, the second order of battle is for the comrades of the local army, and the third order of battle is for the comrades of the guerrillas and militia."
"We have agreed, we eat meat, and others also have to drink soup. We have to do a good job in the image of big brother, and cooperate with the local army and militia comrades to fight. After we have captured them, we have selected weapons and equipment in advance.
, the spare weapons and equipment can be directly distributed to local army comrades, and then to guerrillas and militia comrades."
Having said this, Kong Jie paused and said with a smile: "So you commanders, please be smarter. This war is not just about carrying out raids, it is not just about pulling out the enemy's stronghold gun towers." "This is also a practical training for our soldiers, as well as the local army, guerrillas, and militia soldiers."
"Think about it, everyone, when we usually train, we are reluctant to part with a bullet. Where can I get you to conduct a lot of live-fire training? That is only during combat."
"In addition, when fighting, let the local army and militia comrades follow you. You must consciously cultivate their combat experience. The militia comrades have been conducting military training under the guidance of our militia military training manual these days. Military training I have mastered part of the basics, and if I combine it with actual practice, I will soon be able to grow up."
"During the battle, you kept your eyes open for me. If there are some good ideas among the local army and militia comrades, hey, don't hesitate, just bring them to my team."
The second battalion commander Shen Quanle said: "Commander, aren't you afraid that once this gap is opened, you will turn around and form a battalion from one company to another? There are many company and platoon leaders in our regiment, but we always feel that the troops under our command are not enough. ."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "You are really capable. Even if you pull a company into a group, I won't say anything. Instead, I will give you credit. But there is a premise. You can't just pull but not support. If you have this ability, as long as you can ensure If the comrades in the team are well fed and clothed, you can expand the team no matter how you choose. But if you don’t have the ability, you’d better worry less.”
When Kong Jie said this, the cadres looked thoughtful.
Kong Jie was afraid that the soldiers would not consider the quality of the soldiers in order to expand their troops. Sometimes, if the troops were expanded too quickly, it would affect the combat effectiveness of the entire regiment, which was not necessarily a good thing.
"In addition, let's talk about how to deal with the problem of capturing the stronghold and the process of breaking the attack."
When he said this, Kong Jie was somewhat serious in his words, and even his words contained a bit of helplessness.
"If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. Our large-scale attack on the Zhengtai Railway this time is a major counterattack by our Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army in North China."
"But I think you all know the little devil's urinary nature, and he is very vengeful. After our major counterattack is over, we will definitely usher in a difficult period of counter-mopping up,"
"So I'm not trying to scare you. The current battle may be our last large-scale seizure for a long time to come."
"So we are like hibernating bears. We cannot find food in winter. When we can find food in spring and summer, we have to fill our stomachs to avoid starving to death while hibernating."
"What is seizure in the true sense? Let me tell you, seizure is the ammunition you consumed during the battle. The difference after offsetting the captured ammunition is your real seizure amount."
"You said you took down a Japanese stronghold and used more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition, but in the end only more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition were captured. Is that a profit or a loss? Is this a victory? No, this is a defeat. If you fight like this , No matter how rich our independent group is, it will be empty sooner or later. Why do we fight against the Japs with our bare hands?"
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on the soldiers' faces, Kong Jie urged: "So when fighting, you, as commanders, must use your brains more, how to minimize casualties and save ammunition at the same time!"

"In addition, as I said before, we must seize as much as possible and hoard supplies."
"We have captured the stronghold, not only the guns and ammunition inside, but also some common daily necessities, such as quilts and beds, pots and pans, kettles and chamber pots, even the wires that the Japanese buried deep underground, as well as the wires inside the stronghold.
The cement, sand, and even every brick after it was blown up. As long as I have this time, move them all away."
"During the raid, whether it's the rails or the rivets on the rails, as long as they can be taken away from the ground, I will pry them all away."
"Even if it is a bullet casing dropped on the ground by both the enemy and ourselves during the battle, as long as there is enough time and sufficient conditions, everyone should try to pick it up again. Our arsenal can definitely use it again."
Seeing that the cadres were a little dumbfounded, Kong Jie shouted: "Look what I am doing? This is the true meaning of cleaning the battlefield and seizing everything. Since we have won, we naturally have to maximize our victory."
"As long as it is something captured, even if it is just a brick or a tile, we will always have a use for it. These all belong to the enemy, and we will not take them for nothing."
"We just want to do it. After winning the battle, we will leave no stone behind!"
Li Yunlong on the side was stunned for a moment, but in his heart he very much agreed with Kong Jie's opinion.
What's the saying? Heroes think alike, and that's what we, Lao Li, have always done.
Zhao Gang added: "Have you all heard what the regiment leader said? Let's think about it carefully. The conditions of our Eighth Route Army are difficult and supplies are scarce. Taking advantage of this major counterattack to seize as many supplies as possible is the correct tactic.
Fight to support war."
"Both the regiment leader and I hope that after this division of troops, when we meet again, we will see a strong team and a team returning with a full load."
