Li Wenjie responded and continued: "Around us, in the main enemy-occupied area and county town, the Japanese army has stationed a large force in Yangquan County, plus a large number of Imperial Army troops."
"In Shouyang, there is nearly a Japanese brigade of troops."
"Furthermore, Taiyuan City is the base camp of the Japanese army, and the number of troops stationed there is even more than one division."
"The strength of Ping'an County is slightly weaker, but there are still about half a brigade of Japanese troops."
"Other smaller counties also have at least one squadron of Japanese troops stationed there."
"In addition, in addition to these Japanese troops, there are also Japanese gendarmerie and puppet army garrisons in major counties. In addition, county towns that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and reinforcements that can arrive at any time in the surrounding major Japanese counties, these Japanese joint forces
The major cities are all in one piece, and we have no chance at all.”
Li Wenjie was frightened by his own regiment leader. The last time he was obviously calling for reinforcements, he suddenly rushed straight into the hinterland of the North China Security Army.
In front of him, Kong Jie suddenly asked about the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops around him.
Li Wenjie was startled. Could it be that the regiment leader was thinking of attacking the county seat?
Kong Jile said: "What are you thinking about? I have no plans to attack the county seat yet. It will not be worth the gain to take down the county seat now. It goes against our general strategic policy. The boss is not allowed to shoot me."
"That's good, that's good!" Li Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
If the regiment leader is really serious about attacking the county town, and political commissar Zhao in the regiment is not here, I'm afraid no one can stop him.
"How does the strength of the Japanese army compare with ours?"
Kong Jie's questioning voice interrupted Li Wenjie's thoughts.
Li Wenjie quickly replied: "Commander, if we talk about the comparison of military strength, we are naturally far inferior to the Japanese army. Even if we do not include the Japs division in Taiyuan City, the Japs in the surrounding counties and cities have several times the strength of ours." "In addition, according to the overall combat effectiveness of our troops, if it were a head-on battle, with the same strength, we are still no match for the Japanese."
"If there were three established camps, the situation would be much better."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "I don't have such a big appetite. You are right. Compared with the Japanese army, we are still at a big disadvantage, so we can only use more to defeat the less in local areas, and use elites to fight against miscellaneous forces.
Use defensive warfare instead of offensive warfare, so as to attack more with less, and never act recklessly."
Li Wenjie immediately understood what Kong Jie meant.
"Captain, what you mean is that the general strategic policy of our independent regiment is to use defense as offense, use the defense construction of the base area to deal with the Japanese attack, and based on the defense construction of the base area, use less to attack more.
”
"Smart!" Kong Jie said: "But it's not necessarily a case of using less to defeat more. It should be said to be using more to defeat less.
Or I can say with certainty that if the construction of our base area is in place, no matter how many troops the Japanese army sends, as long as they enter our Niukou Village base area, we can fight with more troops than less."
Li Wenjie said in surprise: "Captain, what do you mean?"
"Wenjie, what is the appearance of the strongest base area?"
"The strongest base?" Li Wenjie was dumbfounded, "Please clear up the confusion, head."
Kong Jie said flatly: "Of course it is a base area with complete defense construction, a good economic foundation, top management and everyone united, and all the people are soldiers."
"Our independent regiment does have only about 2,500 troops in the Niukou Village base area.
But the total number of our fellow villagers in Niukou Village exceeds 10,000.
If all the people can be mobilized as soldiers, no matter when the Japanese and puppet troops dare to step into our base area, they will face tens of thousands of enemies.
In this case, we will always have an absolute military superiority."
These absolutely shocking words made Li Wenjie a little stunned.
"It's just, Commander, in addition to the regular combat troops of our independent regiment, the surrounding villages, that is, under the guidance of the militia military training manual, the militia comrades who have received military training have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, and they are unable to fight the Japanese army head-on.
Confrontation.
As for other common people, because the national army had recruited troops in this area in the early years, only 30% were young and strong, and the rest were basically women, children and the elderly.
Can these old people, women and children also be armed to deal with the enemy?"
Kong Jie breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "With the enemy now, all the factors you can think of can help you win the battle as long as you change your thinking."
"What about the elderly and children? Even you think they have no fighting capacity, and they pose no threat to the Japanese and puppet troops."
"When entering or leaving enemy-occupied counties and counties, the Japanese and puppet troops' interrogations are the most lax."
"In this case, this is their best disguise. Even if they can't fight, can't they pass information to us secretly?"
"In addition, with certain training, even a half-year-old child or even an elderly person in his sixties can effectively deploy bullet mines."
"When it's really time to die, the elderly and their children may be able to save themselves through this method."
Speaking of which, Kong Jie planned a blueprint for Li Wenjie:
"This is why I asked you to come here. The construction of our base area must move forward towards the goal of being the strongest base area."
"We must not only build, build, and improve our own combat forces."
"We also need to create a strong folk custom unique to our base area, even to the point where all the people are soldiers."
"The construction of militia infrastructure naturally cannot be stopped. In addition, the propaganda department has strengthened communication and contact with the people in surrounding villages, telling the villagers that all young and middle-aged people need to participate in certain military training to master a certain military foundation."
"In addition, the elderly and children should also take some military self-defense classes regularly to learn how to identify enemies, identify puppet spies, set up some simple bullet mines, and be able to use and throw grenades."
"In the end, there is only one result we want, and that is to create a strong custom of fighting against the Japanese and puppet troops in our base area. Whenever there are Japanese and puppet troops who dare to step into our base area, the people will do it by themselves without even having to take action from our independent group.
They took care of it."
"All the people are soldiers, not just our combat troops, but all the people in our base area must be armed. Only then can we call it a truly powerful base area."
As Kong Jie narrated, Li Wenjie on the side couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes widened.
This is the first time he has heard of this theory.
In the past impression, the common people were weak and had always been a group protected by the Eighth Route Army.
Every time the Japanese army launched a raid, the Eighth Route Army immediately covered the transfer and evacuation of the people, and that was it.
Sometimes, without enough time to cover the relocation of the people, the villages would be brutally trampled by the Japanese and puppet invaders.
But the leader is so right, why can't all the villagers be armed?
It’s better to teach someone to fish than to teach him to fish!
If the villagers in the village have a certain ability to defend themselves, even if the Eighth Route Army troops are not present, they can still resist the invasion of the Japanese and puppet troops to a certain extent.
I am afraid that only villages like this can survive for a long time in this era of heavy artillery fire.
After figuring this out, Li Wenjie was completely convinced by Kong Jie.
I was even more deeply tempted by Kong Jie’s blueprint.
Li Wenjie stood up from the kang, saluted Kong Jie with a military salute, and said solemnly: "Yes, commander, don't worry, Wenjie will definitely work hard for this goal throughout his life!"
