"Commander, if you say so, all the company commanders in our first battalion are good candidates. They are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles. It will definitely not be a problem to stand alone."
First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu was the first to speak.
The second battalion commander Shen Quan said: "Captain, as the saying goes, a general will lead what kind of soldiers. This time when we go to Zhongtiao Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare, we have to go with someone who is more flexible. I'm afraid the soldiers he brought out from Lei Hu are not good at it." In this regard, the company commanders of my second battalion are suitable."
"Old Shen, what do you mean by this?" Wang Leihu asked.
Chen Quan said: "It's not interesting, let's tell the truth."
"You kid..."
"Okay, so, I know that none of your battalion commanders want to be humble on this matter. After each of your battalion commanders returns, recommend a company commander or deputy deputy company commander in the regiment to the regiment headquarters, and write down the reasons clearly. Agreed. There is only one list for each battalion. After it is sent to the regiment headquarters, I will select one as the company commander to lead the team this time."
After Kong Jie finished speaking, everyone had no objections. The leader’s method was good.
Wang Leihu glared at Shen Quan, "Old Shen, take a look, the final candidate must be from our first battalion."
"Lei Hu, you are not afraid of speaking big words and flashing your tongue. The results haven't come out yet, so what are you proud of?" Shen Quan said not to be outdone.
Wang Leihu said: "I am confident!"
Kong Jile said: "If you ask me, if you have time to bicker, why not go back and spend your time thinking about the final candidate."
"Another point that I often say is to do more collaborative training with infantry and artillery after returning home."
"Our independent regiment is no longer what it used to be. We have a few machine guns for fighting. Now we have light and heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars, everything."
"How to train to achieve coordinated operations between infantry and artillery, and how to flexibly deploy light and heavy machine gun firepower in different battles, apply appropriate tactics, and coordinate infantry attack or defense."
"These are questions that your battalion commanders and instructors should seriously consider before fighting."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, let's break up the meeting."
"Yes——"
The cadres responded and left the regiment headquarters one after another.
The next day, the five battalion commanders sent the selected lists.
The first battalion commander Wang Leihu chose a deputy company commander of their second company. As for the reason, he said he was brave in combat, brave and resourceful, and had rich experience in mountain guerrilla combat command.
Kong Jie, the deputy company commander, also knew about him. What Wang Leihu said about his advantages was true, but in terms of personality, Kong Jie thought he was not the best candidate.
After making the decision, Kong Jie handed the first list to the monk aside.
Then I picked up the second list sent by Shen Quan.
The reason is very similar to what First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu said.
But generally speaking, the deputy company commander selected by Shen Quan is younger and has a more flexible mind.
If he had to choose one of the two lists, Kong Jie would prefer Shen Quan’s list.
It wasn't until Kong Jie picked up the third list, the one sent by the Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao. After browsing the other two lists, Kong Jie actually didn't read the other two lists and made a decision directly:
"It's just him, Han Feng, the deputy company commander of the third battalion."
The monk was a little curious: "Captain, you haven't even looked at the other two lists yet, have you chosen them?
He picked up the third list handed over by Kong Jie and looked at it, only to see it read: "Deputy Company Commander Han Feng, joined the army at the end of 1937, he is twenty-six years old, his ancestors were hunters, he learned to hunt since he was a child, the first The first time I went to the battlefield, I killed three Japanese soldiers with my own hands.
At the beginning of 1938, Han Feng's company encountered Japanese troops and suffered heavy casualties. Only three people in his third squad died. After the battle, Han Feng was promoted to the squad leader of the third squad.
In the summer of 1938, Han Feng, who was just a squad leader, abducted the company headquarters' cooking team, disguised himself as a chef and sneaked into Ankang Town. He poisoned and killed dozens of Japanese officers who were holding a banquet in a restaurant, and robbed the company from the county town. Scammed out three carriages of food.
All the soldiers in the company were hungry for a day. After Han Feng led the team back, he was severely scolded by the company commander and was promoted to deputy platoon leader the next day.
In early 1939, he was promoted to platoon leader. During an ambush battle, Han Feng led a platoon of soldiers to defeat a company of the North China Security Army, and led three soldiers to pursue nearly 100 puppet troops for five or six miles. Road, and then captured more than 30 people and returned. They became famous in one battle and were nicknamed Crazy Han.
He always performed meritorious service in every battle, and was promoted to deputy company commander in 1940.
Personality: Unconventional, brave and bold in combat, flexible and changeable, and most importantly, never suffers in terms of personality, takes advantage of others and leaves people speechless, has a heroic temperament, yet is cunning. He is straightforward, yet quite sophisticated.
Give him a squad, and he can be an excellent squad leader; give him a platoon, and he can be an excellent platoon leader; give him a battalion, and maybe he can also be an excellent battalion commander."< /p>
That’s everything on the list.
The monk asked doubtfully: "Captain, there are two more lists that you don't want to read?"
Kong Jie said: "I don't want to read anymore. I think there is no one more suitable than this Han Feng."
The monk scratched his head: "Captain, what's the significance of this? Why didn't I see it?"
Kong Jie said: "The enemy situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area is very complicated. There are the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the stubborn army, the Japanese army, and the puppet army. From a constant point of view, the enemies we have to deal with include the Japanese army and the puppet army. From the perspective of change, sometimes it even includes the Central Army, the stubborn army and the national army."
"This requires the commander who leads the team this time to have a flexible mind and a cunning person. In addition, he must not only be courageous, but also careful. A lack of courage means that he is more than conservative and not aggressive enough; but he is too courageous.
, it is inevitable that something will happen if you are reckless."
"From all aspects of analysis, this Han Feng is indeed the most suitable. I also know a little about the person. He is indeed a slippery boy, but you can't find any reason to call him a slippery boy."
"Hey, isn't this you, the leader!" the monk muttered.
"Huh? Monk, what did you say?"
"Oh, Captain, I think this Han Feng is indeed suitable."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Although the third battalion commander doesn't talk much, in the end he understands me best."
"Monk, do you know why Han Feng, recommended by the third battalion commander, caught my heart right away?"
"The reason is very simple, just because of this aspect of his character: he never suffers."
"Think about it, the company we sent out this time will cooperate with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei's team. When the time comes, the three companies will fight together and support each other.
We won the battle, made the seizures, and got the benefits, but how will we divide them up in the end? If you sent an honest leader over and was betrayed, you might even help count the money!"
The monk giggled and said: "Captain, that's what happened, I understand!"
Kong Jie said: "Go and tell the communications troops to ask Han Feng from the third battalion to meet me at the regiment headquarters."
"Yes!"
……
……
No coincidence.
On the other side, the new second group.
Li Yunlong has already decided on the candidate to be sent to Zhongtiao Mountain this time.
At this moment, Lao Li is brainwashing and indoctrinating:
"Remember, this time I go to Zhongtiao Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare. I have only one request. I don't care how you lead the troops or direct the battle. I only want to see the results.
A year and a half later, when you come back with your team, we will still be a company, and if the team still has the equipment of these three melons, I will scold you."
"Brotherly troops? Humph, you kid, remember this sentence for me. During the war, we and the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment's troops were brotherly troops. There is no need to say this, but when it comes time to capture them separately
, brothers must settle accounts clearly, no one has to give in to the other."
"Who was responsible for the fire suppression? Who used the most artillery shells? Who was able to charge? Who captured the position? Which unit suffered the greatest casualties? These are all factors that determine the final capture."
"I only have one request. I, Li Yunlong, have never done any business at a loss in my life, and the soldiers I brought out cannot do any business at a loss for me either."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes, leader, please rest assured and promise to complete the task!"
……
……
New group.
Ding Wei is doing something similar to Li Yunlong.
Only the words of explanation are somewhat different.
"One is to make full use of guerrilla tactics, use less to attack more, use the stronger to defeat the weaker, and use war to support war. It should be like a snowball, so that your team will get bigger and bigger."
"In addition, when fighting together with Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's troops, be careful of suffering losses."
"That kid Li Yunlong prefers to be greedy for equipment, but what I want to tell you is that people are always the first thing, and these good soldiers are the most important. As for the equipment, if we don't have it anymore, we can just seize it."
"So if Li Yunlong wants to take advantage, they want equipment, and we want people. Keep your eyes open for me, and pull all the good soldiers from the national army remaining in Zhongtiao Mountain into our team.
”
"Yes!"
……
……
"Report to the leader, Han Feng is here." The monk's voice came from outside the house.
"Let him come in!" Kong Jie said.
"Yes!"
Footsteps sounded outside the house, and a young figure walked into the inner room, then opened the curtain and walked in. He straightened his steps and saluted Kong Jie:
"Reporting to the leader, Han Feng, deputy commander of the 10th Company of the Independent Regiment, is here to report!"
Kong Jie sat on the kang and looked up at Han Feng. He was about 1.75 meters tall and a little thin. His hair seemed to be very short. He didn't know if it was the second-hand shaver in the regiment who shaved his head.
Because it is too clean, it is no different from a monk wearing a military hat.
As for appearance, it gives people a very capable feeling.
"Do you know why I asked you to come to the regiment headquarters?" Kong Jie smiled and asked.
Han Feng swallowed, his throat rolled up and down, his eyes were fixed on the cup of hot tea next to the small table on Kong Jie's bed, and he said: "Report to the leader, I have been busy training this morning, and now I have only one cup of hot tea.
I haven’t drunk any water yet, and my throat is about to smoke. Can I have a sip of hot tea before answering your question?"
Kong Jie was happy. This guy was interesting, had a very lovable temperament, and was a familiar person.
Kong Jie nodded with a smile on his face. Without saying a word, Han Feng took the tea vat and started drinking. However, after a moment, Kong Jie had just cooled down a cup of hot tea, which seemed to have reached its bottom.
"You guys are really rude and treat the regiment headquarters as your own? You guys drank all the hot tea I just made cold!"
"Hey, in our entire 129th Division, who doesn't know that you, the regiment commander, are the most honest! The soldiers you brought out must also be genuine, so I thought about it, this regiment commander invited me to drink tea, and if you want to drink it, we can drink it
It’s a pleasure.”
Han Feng said seriously, touching the water bottle in the corner and filling Kong Jie's teapot with more than half a cup of hot water.
Kong Jie couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Okay, then you've had a good time, so just answer the question!"
"Yes!"
Han Feng responded and replied: "Report to the leader, I have heard everything from our battalion commander. You asked me to come here this time. I guess you think I am a more suitable candidate to lead the team to Zhongtiao Mountain, so
Call me over again for a test."
Kong Jie said happily: "Hey, you really guessed it right."
"Please teach me, head!"
Kong Jie said: "The teachings are cliche and there is nothing new. Let me ask you and answer them!"
"Yes!"
"After arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, what are you going to do as the first step?"
Han Feng said: "Commander, our Eighth Route Army is a people's army. After arriving at a place, the first step is to find out the enemy's situation, select a temporary garrison, and then combine it with the local people's base to quickly integrate into the surrounding environment."
Kong Jie said: "The land in Zhongtiao Mountain is barren and the living environment is difficult. The people there are not rich, and they may not be able to support your team."
Han Feng said: "When we arrive at Zhongtiao Mountain, we are a guerrilla force. Naturally, we have to be self-reliant and will not drag down the people. If the team of a company cannot support each other, then it can be divided into parts and divided into platoons, or simply as squads.
As a combat unit."
Kong Jie said: "What do you think of the national troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area?"
Han Feng said: "Depending on the nature of the other party, if they are harassing the people and targeting the stubborn troops of our Eighth Route Army, I don't mind destroying them. If they are a team that is serious about fighting the Japanese, maybe we can cooperate."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid of being labeled as deliberately causing friction?"
Han Feng said: "Hey, Commander, you are joking. If I take action, I will either have evidence that the other party is colluding with the Japanese or actively provoking, or I will hide my identity and take action secretly."
Kong Jie said: "If you, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei's teams jointly fight, and after the capture is made, what do you think is the best way to distribute the three companies?"
Han Feng said: "Captain, it's easy to say, of course whoever grabs it will be the one who gets it. This is the rule I have set for the comrades of the 10th Company.
I will explain in advance that as soon as the battle is over, quickly seize the equipment and get the loot first.
As for how to divide it later, the spoils are in my hands, so let’s take the initiative first, right?”
Good boy, so cunning!
Kong Jie was completely satisfied and said with a smile: "It's up to you, Han Feng. This is the opportunity that many company commanders and deputy company commanders in the regiment are trying to grab.
This time you lead a team to Zhongtiao Mountain and there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, so I will leave them here for you in advance.
The team I gave you is a company. When the time comes, the team you bring back will still be a company. I won’t say anything to blame you, just continue to be your deputy company commander honestly.
But if you bring back a battalion, I will make you the company commander; if you bring back a regiment, I will recommend you to the superiors as the battalion commander."
Han Feng smiled and said: "Captain, what if I bring you a brigade?"
Kong Jie was startled for a moment, then smiled and cursed: "If you really have that ability, bring me a brigade of troops. I will personally apply to the headquarters to replace you as the leader of this independent regiment. What do you think?"
/p>
Han Feng hurriedly said: "Captain, how can this be possible? As long as you are still in the Independent Regiment, the leader of our Independent Regiment will always be named Kong."
Kong Jile said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back and hurry up and prepare! It's not easy to travel far away. While you are still in the regiment, if you need anything as a leader, just go to the logistics department."
Department.
I have already asked Dong San to explain it.
As long as your company's team can handle it, and don't go overboard, the logistics department will supply it to you, whether it's equipment or supplies."
Han Feng smiled and said: "Hehe, Captain, you are generous with your actions. This means that your mother-in-law has money and can do things easily!
Please rest assured, leader, this time I lead the team to Zhongtiao Mountain, I will definitely give you a good performance and will never weaken the name of our independent group!"
"You brat, go ahead! I'm waiting for your good news."
