466 Rich Captures, Rewards Based on Merits, Record Military Merits
…………
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army was incorporated into the combat order of the National Revolutionary Army and participated in the Anti-Japanese War.
Due to differences in actual situations, each war zone and base area is relatively scattered, making it inconvenient to continue issuing uniform meritorious service medals.
Therefore, under this special form, each military region and unit will combine their own actual conditions to record and reward individuals and groups with outstanding performance in combat.
After the victory of this counter-mopping up, it will be carried out in this mode.
Niukou Village.
Independent group.
Shortly after the commendation meeting for each regiment held by the brigade commander and political commissar at the brigade headquarters, news came from the headquarters.
In this anti-mopping victory, all the regiments worked together to kill the enemy bravely, especially the independent regiment's military exploits, which are obvious to all and the most remarkable. After discussion and decision by the headquarters, Comrade Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, will be credited with a personal meritorious service.
All combat officers of the independent regiment will be recorded for collective military merit once.
In addition, the brigade headquarters also recorded great achievements for combat teams such as the independent regiment's guard company, two artillery companies, commandos, sniper platoons, etc., and issued corresponding medals and flags. At the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie commended the commanders in the regiment for their bravery and outstanding performance in this battle, such as the guard company commander Wei Monk, the commando deputy captain Ye Min, the two artillery company commanders, and the sniper platoon leader.
Huang Baiyang, cavalry company commander Sun Desheng, etc.
Some soldiers who performed outstandingly in the battle were not left behind. The regiment headquarters, battalion headquarters, and each company either recorded merit or commended them.
Regiment Headquarters.
Ye Min, deputy captain of the commando team, arrived and reported to Kong Jie: "Captain, you are looking for me!"
Kong Jie nodded, looked at Ye Min, and said: "This base defense battle can reverse the situation in one fell swoop and force the Japanese offensive troops to retreat. The most critical point is that your commando team successfully destroyed the Japanese troops in the rear.
Provisional Joint Command.
For this reason, the first contribution to the victory of this battle is your commando team.
At the military meeting after the battle, I told everyone that in this battle, our independent regiment will be rewarded according to merit, and those who deserve rewards will be rewarded, and those who deserve punishment will be punished.
As the biggest contributor to our independent group right now, tell me, what reward do you want?"
After Ye Min was stunned, he said with a silly smile: "Captain, this time we won the battle, and everyone has remembered all the merits that should be recorded. I even remembered the great merits once!
The commando team also recorded their collective merit once. Do you mean there are other rewards in addition to the merit record? Is this such a good thing?"
Kong Jie solemnly said: "Let me tell you something serious. Don't be so playful. In our independent group, we always put as much rice as the pot has."
"People should make the best use of their abilities and let every commander be in the position he is good at. This is my responsibility as a regiment leader."
"For more than a year, you have led the commando team to carry out various difficult combat missions, and all of them were successfully completed."
"You have gained experience and are now able to stand on your own. Coupled with your military exploits this time, I mean that you should move to a more suitable position and play a greater role."
Ye Min was startled and said with a wry smile: "Captain, you know, I haven't gone to school and I don't have much knowledge. What do you mean?"
Kong Jie said: "The commando team is the most elite small combat force of our independent regiment. To put it simply, it is the trump card of our independent regiment."
"But now with the development of our independent regiment, you have also seen that the regiment's organization is getting bigger and bigger, the troops are getting more and more, and things are getting more and more complicated. Under such circumstances, there are only twenty or thirty
The human commando team has become somewhat insufficient."
"So, I am going to draw some young people from the entire regiment to form an assault company, with you as the commander of the assault company for training.
To put it another way, the assault company gathers the elite soldiers of our entire regiment, which is a bit like the reserve force of the assault team.
The most outstanding warriors from the assault company can be further selected into the assault team."
Seeing Ye Min lost in thought, Kong Jie continued:
"Now the scale of our independent group is not small, and the base area is gradually expanding and developing day by day. The scale may become larger and larger in the future."
"The expansion of the scale and the increase in military strength are good things at first glance, but what an army fears most is that it will be overrun due to the rapid increase in military strength."
"Since last year, the headquarters has issued instructions on the development of base areas of various ministries, requiring better troops and streamlined administration, in order to reduce the pressure on various base areas to support local troops."
"The development situation of our independent group is better. It has an agricultural foundation and a commercial foundation. It will not rely too much on the local people and will not cause additional economic pressure."
"So what this lean military and administrative policy means is reducing the army, strengthening military training, and improving the quality of the limited troops."
"Our independent regiment does not need to significantly reduce the size of the army."
"But it is very necessary for us to strengthen the military training of the troops and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the existing troops."
"Finally, after much thought, I decided to establish a set of gradually increasing selection systems so that every soldier and every commander can make the best use of them."
"For example, the local selection system goes from the common people to the militia, to the local guerrilla squad, to the district squad, to the county brigade, and then to our recruit camp."
"From today on, our independent regiment will also have a complete selection system, starting from the recruit company, to the main company of each battalion, to the sharp knife company of each battalion, to the guard company, to the assault company, and then to the final assault company.
Team."
"It's not really a classification, but a military honor to inspire soldiers to be motivated to fight bravely in training and on the battlefield."
Kong Jie explained, and Ye Min understood.
He even imagined that if he were a soldier who had just joined the independent regiment, facing this selection system, he would definitely burst out with extra fighting spirit.
Isn’t the highest aspiration of a soldier to march and work hard towards the most elite troops full of honor?
"Captain, I understand what you mean, it's just the commando team..."
Kong Jie said: "Are you worried that after you leave the commando team, there will be no one to lead the commando team?"
Ye Min did not deny it, "Yes!"
"How about wood?" Kong Jie asked.
Ye Min shook his head: "Mumu is an excellent special operations team member. He is smart, clever, has solid military skills, and has a good psychological quality. But when it comes to commanding a commando in combat, he lacks certain judgment and decisiveness." p>
"Where is Cao Zheng?"
"Cao Zheng basically has the advantages of wood, but Cao Zheng slightly lacks the cleverness and adaptability of wood."
After listening to this, Kong Jie finally understood that even Cao Zheng, Mu Mu and Ye Min, who were most promising to serve as the deputy captain of the commando team, were not satisfied. No wonder he did not want to leave the commando team at the moment.
Duan Peng's name suddenly came to mind again.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "I understand your concerns, and there is no rush to do this. The establishment of the assault company and the entire selection system of our independent regiment are only in prototype now.
It hasn’t officially started yet, and there will still be a long period of time before it is officially put into operation. You can stay in the commando team for the time being!"
Ye Min nodded, then suddenly came to his senses and asked: "Captain, what about my reward?"
Kong Jie said: "Reward, what reward? I said I would give you the command of an assault company. If you are not happy with it, who can you blame?"
Ye Min: "..."
"Captain, at least you have promoted me as the deputy captain!"
Kong Jile said: "You boy, what's the difference between this one and the real one? Anyway, you don't have the real one in front of you, so you don't have the final say in the entire commando team?"
"But I always feel uncomfortable with this situation!" Ye Min said aggrievedly. He had been the vice-captain for more than a year, but he didn't become a full-time captain.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry about this post of commando captain."
Ye Min asked doubtfully: "Captain, this commando team has not had a captain since it was first established. Could it be that you have already chosen someone?"
Kong Jie said: "Not bad."
"Who?"
"The successor you expected." Kong Jie said.
"Successor?"
Ye Min, who was full of confusion, did not get an explanation from Kong Jie in the end, so he just left the regiment headquarters thinking about it all the way.
Ye Min left in front, and instructor Li Wenjie came in to report:
"Reporting to the leader, all post-war matters have basically been settled."
"Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, Xicun and the surrounding villages are being restored and reconstructed in an orderly manner. Our idle soldiers have been sent to each village to help the villagers build houses, and logistics troops have been dispatched to purchase the required materials through hidden channels.
, I think it will take less than a week for the houses in all the surrounding villages to be rebuilt."
"The remains of the martyrs have all been properly placed, and family members have found ways to convey the news, and have arranged for condolences to come to the door to distribute pensions."
"The captured puppet troops have all been arranged. We happen to need people for farming, mining, briquette production lines, chicken essence production, cigarette production and other aspects."
"Speaking of which, these prisoners arrived just in time."
"It's just, Commander, our policy has always been to treat prisoners preferentially, isn't this a bit..."
Kong Jie said: "Just do it like this. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if the boss asks, I have a reason to answer."
"These captured puppet soldiers, I will provide them with three meals a day, and I will heal them if they are injured. I just let them contribute and do some work. Let them go and inquire about these tasks. The soldiers of our regiment
Who wouldn’t do it?”
"Having enough food and living a solid life can be considered as atonement for the crimes they committed. Isn't this considered preferential treatment? Ask these prisoners yourself how they are living."
Li Wenjie thought for a while and said with a smile: "When you say that, it's really preferential treatment."
Kong Jie said: "Of course it is preferential treatment. In addition, I have made it clear to these puppet soldiers that I will finish three months of work first.
After finishing the work, if they want to leave, I will pay them travel expenses.
If you want to stay and fight the Japanese, our independent group will open our doors to welcome you.
Of course, you have to make them understand that not all cats and dogs can join our Eighth Route Army or join our independent regiment.
They also had to go through strict assessment and screening, and also gave me political classes and ideological education classes.
When did I understand the transformation and get rid of all the old warlord and traitor bad habits?
When can our independent group officially accept them?"
"This can be regarded as giving them a head start, so that they don't have to live in a haze all day long and don't know how to live."
"In addition, this person's mind will be complicated when there are too many people. It is inevitable that there will be some pranksters inside. The security aspect must be strengthened. All aspects of the base area that should be hidden from these puppet troops must not be allowed to be known to them."
"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded.
Then, Li Wenjie reported the progress of other matters to Kong Jie and left.
Afternoon.
Kong Jie held a post-war analysis and summary military meeting, and all the battalion commanders, instructors, and instructors were present.
At the meeting, Kong Jie made the opening remarks, "As a rule, let's talk about something happy first. Each battalion will report the general capture situation first and then talk about it. Battalion Commander, you should come first."
"Yes!" Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, responded and said proudly: "Captain, the seizures made by our first battalion this time are too many. The seizures obtained from the villages, towns and counties in the Japanese rear areas are as we mentioned before.
, which is nearly a battalion’s worth of equipment, plus enough supplies to supply my entire battalion for more than half a year.”
"After that, we fought against the Japanese and puppet troops in Xicun, and then joined forces with a new regiment to eliminate the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops. Our battalion successively eliminated more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, and seized more than 900 rifles, more than 100 pistols, and ten grenades.
Five, twenty-three light machine guns, five heavy machine guns...the total number of bullets of each caliber is at least 50,000.
Coupled with military supplies such as military boots, military uniforms, bayonets, satchels, and water bottles, it can hold several carriages at least.
The kid behind him has basically eaten all the rations he brought with him, but not much was seized."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wang Leihu finished speaking in one breath, and the second battalion commander Shen Quanle beside him said: "I am Leihu, didn't I just seize some more equipment and supplies? I really treat them as treasures, and look like they are all treasures!"
"What needle?" Wang Leihu wondered.
Chen Quan said disdainfully: "I ask you to lead the troops on a daily basis, but don't forget to study and learn everything. This is an idiom. What does it mean? You can go back and ask the instructor!"
In the past six months, the trend of learning cultural knowledge has become very popular among the independent regiment, regardless of whether they are commanders or soldiers.
In particular, regiment leader Kong Jie greatly encouraged this and even ordered each company and platoon to organize cultural studies on a daily basis.
Nowadays, any soldier who has joined the independent regiment for more than half a year, even if he cannot read a word before joining the army, can at least understand the combat comic booklet compiled and distributed by the regiment.
Soldiers are proud to be educated.
At this moment, the first battalion commander, who had been defeated in cultural knowledge, was choked so much that he could only change the topic in an attempt to regain his place:
"Old Shen, don't be pretentious here. You just studied with the instructor for two more days! Zhu Bajie wears glasses, why are you pretending to be a college student? If you have the ability to tell us about the seizures of your second battalion, let's compare and we can split up.
High or low."
This is an obvious way to provoke generals, and Shen Quan just did it.
"Afraid of you?"
"Listen up, let's not talk about the seizures before returning to our base area. Our two battalions are evenly matched, so no one should laugh at the other."
"Let's talk about the combat situation after returning to the base area. Your first battalion is responsible for the battle in the direction of Xicun, and our second battalion is responsible for the battle in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang."
"In this battle, our Second Battalion killed at least 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops."
Wang Leihu said: "That's not much. I can't kill less than this number of enemies in a battalion."
Chen Quan said: "The casualty situation of my second battalion is much better than that of your first battalion."
"There are so many good things, but there are about twenty people missing, right?"
"What's wrong with the twenty or so people? Which of these twenty or so people is not a living being, not one of our own comrades?"
"Old Shen, what you said is too poisonous."
"I'm just telling the truth. If you are impatient, you can't blame me."
The contrast intensified. The other battalion commanders, instructors, company commanders, and instructors all looked at each other in confusion, but no one could speak.
In the end, Kong Jie knocked on the table and cursed with a smile: "Commander of the First Battalion, Commander of the Second Battalion, are you here for a meeting, or are you here to see you two quarreling?"
"Okay, let's skip the second battalion directly. Commander of the third battalion, the commander of the fourth battalion, and the commander of the fifth battalion, please tell us about the seizures of each battalion."
