After the three battalion commanders were stunned, they actually understood more or less.
In recent years, the Eighth Route Army has been dealing with the Japs in base areas behind enemy lines. Most of the battles have been small-scale guerrilla operations. Calling this kind of guerrilla operations a sideline is indeed worthy of the name.
Subsidies are provided to subsidize regiment expenses and improve the lives of soldiers.
This description is extremely appropriate.
As Kong Jie asked: "Let me ask you, when have the soldiers been happiest this year?"
The three battalion commanders shook their heads together, and Kong Jie continued: "Does that need to be said? It must be when we meet the little devil. Why, because as soon as we meet the little devil, we can do some side business and improve it. Living expenses, subsidies to support the family.
Whether it is guns, ammunition, cans and other daily necessities seized, the devils have all good stuff.
Otherwise, that guy Li Yunlong always says that every time the Japs come, his new group will be like celebrating the New Year!"
Shen Quan was Li Yunlong's old subordinate during the Red Army. He knew Li Yunlong's character very well, "Captain, I really believe what you said. When we were crossing the grassland, the old regiment commander couldn't get food. He was stunned. The soldiers forcibly requisitioned food, and in the end they hired the cooks directly from the regimental commander. The old regimental commander saw some benefits, just like an old cat smelling fishy food, and would never let go!"
Hahaha——
Everyone laughed together.
Kong Jie said: "As expected of Li Yunlong's old subordinate, you really understand him."
After joking for a while, Shen Quan understood Kong Jie's intention and asked tentatively: "Captain, it seems that you think our regiment's equipment is too poor and you are planning to start a side job?"
"But the brigade commander's side..."
"Don't worry, Lao Li is here to support you! What can't that kid dare to do? The brigade commander is having a headache just staring at him all day long, so how can he have time to care about us?
Also, do you think our brigade is like this? Do you know Ding Wei, the leader of the 28th Regiment? Ding Wei used to be in the same class as me and Lao Li. He is also a restless master. In addition to fighting and doing side jobs, he is fine. I will also think about some business."
"Take drinking as an example. Other regimental commanders are not good at making wine and drinking. Ding Wei not only makes wine and drinks it himself, but also sells the unfinished wine. After selling the money, he can improve the food for the soldiers later."
Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, said in astonishment: "Commander, drinking is against discipline!"
"Yes, everyone knows this, but Ding Wei still drank. Not only did he drink, but he also sold alcohol. The bosses still turned a blind eye."
"Do you know why?"
"Because even though Ding Wei does some tricks, he doesn't mess up things! He fights when it's time to fight, and he doesn't delay at all. He still manages to keep all the soldiers in the regiment fat by selling wine. What do you think of the above? Can the leaders not like it after hearing about it? To put it bluntly, this kid is smart, and the 115th Division is still stunned and thinks of this kid as a treasure!"
"Li Yunlong is almost like this. Even though he is a thorn and disobedient, the brigade commander likes him from the bottom of his heart!"
"And in the eyes of the brigade commander and the others, I have always been the good boy of the 386th Brigade. Tell me, if I secretly do some side business, with Li Datou supporting me, what can the brigade commander and the others say?"
"That's true." Shen Quan smiled, "It's just that, Commander, there hasn't been any war recently, where can we do our side business?"
Kong Jie pointed at the map, pressed a point with his index finger, and clicked twice, "It's right here!"
"Xiao Lin Gou?"
Kong Jie nodded and said: "Yes, I have received information that at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow, a Japanese transport squadron will pass by Xiaolingou Mountain Road.
This is a big piece of fat!
In addition, the intelligence said that this Japanese transport squadron does not carry heavy weapons. If we ambush and attack, the little Japanese will never imagine that there is great hope of annihilating this Japanese army."
Shen Quan and the other three were dumbfounded. They thought that the side business was just a joke by the group leader, but they didn't expect that there was real information.
Wang Leihu said bluntly, "Commander, where did this information come from?"
Kong Jie said without changing his expression: "Don't ask any more questions about the information from the comrades lurking within the puppet army."
"Yes!" Wang Leihu and the others responded.
Then formulate this ambush plan against the Japanese transport squadron.
Kong Jie said: "The firepower configuration of the Japanese transport squadron, based on the firepower configuration of the Japanese infantry squadron, will be relatively weaker, but not too different.
There should be no heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars.
What we should consider is the Japanese light machine guns and grenade launchers, which are the biggest threats to us.
Logically speaking, the Japanese transport squadron has three transport teams. Each transport team has a machine gun team with two crooked handles, and a grenade team with two grenade launchers.
Calculated in this way, this transport squadron has a total of about six crooked light machine guns and about six grenade launchers."
Following Kong Jie's analysis, Wang Leihu and the others' eyes lit up.
The three of them were quite surprised that the leader actually knew the Japanese's organization and firepower configuration so well.
"In this way, the second battalion commander and the third battalion commander."
"Arrived!" Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao responded in unison.
Kong Jie ordered: "Give me all the light machine guns, rifles, grenades and bullets from your two battalions and transfer them to the first battalion.
In addition, temporarily replace the recruits from the first battalion with me.
This time I took the main force of the first battalion to ambush the Japanese transport squadron. I didn’t want a large number of people, but I wanted to be refined.
The requirement is that all combatants must have a rifle, a usable one, so as not to cause trouble for me at a critical moment, and each person must be issued at least ten bullets."
Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, was immediately overjoyed and responded quickly: "Yes, commander, don't worry, our first battalion guarantees to complete the mission!"
Chen Quan said: "Commander, give all the weapons and equipment to the first battalion. This is your order. I have nothing to say. But this time only the first battalion is allowed to go to the battle. Our second battalion has to watch from the station. I feel in my heart. Grieved! ”
Wang Huaibao said: "Commander, our third battalion is also aggrieved!"
"Then just hold it in!" Kong Jie said. He looked at the faces of the other two battalion commanders, sighed again, and said:
"Do you two think that I don't want to lead the whole regiment to rush forward and fight against the Japanese? But it's not like you don't know the situation of our regiment. We have very little ammunition. Even two of us can't carry a gun. We'll kill you." The firepower equipment of the two battalions was transferred to the first battalion, and it was barely able to support the main force of the first battalion to fight a short ambush.
If our entire regiment is involved, will the comrades without guns have to fight the Japs with their bare hands and lose their lives in vain?"
This is the truth. Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao were speechless, and even Wang Leihu sighed helplessly.
Kong Jie said: "I know you are aggrieved, but life will always get better, and one day the three battalions will be the main force.
In this way, second battalion commander and third battalion commander, I will give you two battalions each a platoon indicator to participate in this ambush. As for the specific arrangements, you can decide for yourself."
