536 Commander Kong has big plans and secretly goes to the Tianjin Concession in person
The training of the independent regiment's new recruit company is a relatively systematic set of training procedures compiled by Kong Jie, Li Wenjie and other battalion commanders.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Kong Jie is naturally familiar with how to train a recruit company. Of course, he will also add some training that is suitable for the current era and the actual situation of the war behind enemy lines.
The independent regiment conducted a five-day recruitment in Niukou Village and recruited a large number of recruits.
A total of four recruit companies were formed, from the first recruit company to the fourth recruit company.
Duan Peng is in the Fourth Company of Recruits.
After the new recruits joined the army, Commander Kong was very generous and first issued a new military uniform to each of the new recruits.
Nowadays, the independent group has also opened a quilt factory in Gencheng, although it is not as large as the headquarters quilt factory where Li Yunlong was the director.
There is still confidence in providing military uniforms for new recruits.
After putting on a military uniform and following the training, the company commander of the recruit company told the recruits:
"Wearing this military uniform means that you are now an Eighth Route Army soldier. You must keep in mind the mission and glory of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and have faith and determination in your heart..."
After speaking these exciting words, even ordinary recruits, even Duan Peng, a determined guy, felt as if there was something more in his heart.
That is the glory, blood and responsibility that belong to the military.
When you put on this military uniform, it means the beginning of transformation.
As for the training of new recruits, according to Kong Jie’s requirements, the recruits are first required to organize their internal affairs.
In the words of Kong Jie:
"The arrangement of housekeeping can help soldiers develop rigorous training and living habits. The battlefield is not a place of pride, but more of a tragic place.
Although we kill the Japanese to protect our country, it is a helpless thing.
But after all, it is killing, and over time, it is also a kind of torture for the soldiers.
In the case of high-intensity combat and tense nerves, shifting attention to housekeeping is more conducive to maintaining a good mentality of the soldiers.
Only by focusing on internal affairs, training, and operations at the same time can we train a true warrior who can fight in every battle."
In fact, the regulations of the Eighth Route Army also include the provision of housekeeping.
Among the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, the second of the eight points of attention:
Get up early and tidy up the house, and clean the dirt indoors and outdoors.
Therefore, the cadres deeply agree with Kong Jie’s views.
However, Kong Jie raised the standard, not only requiring the soldiers to improve indoor and outdoor hygiene, but also specifically requiring that the focus of housekeeping be on the soldiers' arrangement of quilts.
What does it mean?
Stack the tofu pieces and make a quilt!
For Kong Jie, who had personally experienced the sour feeling in the army, this point in housekeeping almost penetrated into his bones.
Therefore, the guard, Monk Wei, was quite surprised at first. When he got up early every morning to clean the group leader's inner room, he saw that the room had been cleaned up by the group leader, especially the quilt.
It was stacked squarely, like a square piece of tofu stacked at the head of the bed.
Naturally, the standards will be promoted throughout the group as Kong Jie does.
So in the Independent Regiment, veterans have long had this habit.
Except for emergency operations and some special occasions, veterans will fold their quilts squarely.
Therefore, this internal organization became the first lesson that the soldiers of the new company learned.
The requirements of the company commanders are extremely high.
There's nothing you can do about it, it won't work if it's not high enough!
When the head of the regiment trained a group of cadres to clean up the house, the cadres felt it very well.
First Battalion Commander Wang Lihu ran around the training ground countless times with the tofu quilt because he could not fold it properly.
Now that the new recruits are here, as an old tradition of independent regiments helping each other, the veteran soldiers will naturally not be polite to the new recruits.
This is the consistent rule of the independent group:
During training, the commanders are all devils; after the training, everyone is friends and comrades; on the battlefield, everyone is comrades-in-arms, warriors, and brothers.
Everyone has to figure out what role they should play at what time.
In this way, the soldiers of the new recruit company soon realized how crazy a little housekeeping can be.
The company commanders, platoon commanders and even squad leaders of the recruit company are very meticulous in their internal affairs requirements, which makes the recruits suffer a lot.
An ordinary quilt soon became the first nightmare for new recruits after entering the independent regiment.
Duan Peng is no exception.
As a martial artist, although Duan Peng has many strengths, housekeeping is really not his strong point.
In less than two weeks after participating in training, Duan Peng, who participated in training on the training ground, was kicked back to the common bunk nine times and folded the quilt again.
In the end, Zhao Dachun, who was Duan Peng's training platoon leader, even taught him step by step and finally taught Duan Peng.
"It seems that housekeeping has nothing to do with combat, but there is still a lot of knowledge here. Are you only willing to listen to this order when I teach you how to shoot a gun and how to kill Japanese soldiers? It involves other aspects that have nothing to do with combat, command.
If the officer says it, the soldiers below don’t need to listen?"
"The more innocuous housekeeping is, the more it can train the soldiers' consciousness of absolute obedience."
At the regiment headquarters, some company commanders who were training reported that the new recruits have always had great opinions on housekeeping, especially folding quilts.
Kong Jie explained it as above.
The cadres smiled bitterly, as if they were thinking of the nightmare they had when they were trained by Kong Jie.
Kong Jie smiled and scolded: "Why, don't you agree? I feel like I did you a disservice when I trained you to clean up the house and make quilts."
"Let me tell you, as long as there is a strong army, he will always do something else besides folding quilts."
"Americans don't fold their quilts, and they polish their leather shoes so brightly that they even cast their shadows; British people dress their trousers, which is very demanding; French people focus on their shirts, and even little devils
No exception, there are also similar housekeeping requirements."
"The conditions of our Eighth Route Army are worse. We don't have such bright leather shoes or such cool shirts. We can't follow what others say. This stack of tofu quilts is our tradition."
"Housekeeping is also one of the important means to test the excellent quality of soldiers."
The cadres were given a lecture and went back in an honest manner to continue to strictly control the internal affairs of the new recruits.
After the housekeeping is sorted out, the second item is the training of the queue, the marching, running, goose-stepping of the queue, the soldiers' military posture training, standing at attention, taking a rest, stepping, etc.
"Housekeeping and queue training are the basic training items for recruits. The war is urgent now, and I don't have much time to give them, so I will give them a week to adapt.
The third physical training will begin a week later, followed by bombing, aiming, shooting, tactical training, hygiene and protection training, marching and combat readiness training, as well as military theory study, etc. Nothing can be left behind."
This is what Kong Jie requires for the training of the new recruit company.
At this point, the training of the four recruit companies is officially on track.
As for Duan Peng's performance in the recruit company, and how he will perform in the future, it is temporarily unknown.
Kong Jie didn't know that Duan Peng was among the new recruits recruited this time.
……
Two days later.
Kong Jie handed over the training of the new recruit company to several battalion commanders and acting political commissar Li Wenjie, and rushed to the brigade headquarters to report.
Brigade Headquarters.
Kong Jie arrived and saluted the brigade commander, "Old brigade commander, what's the important matter? It's not convenient to talk about it on the phone."
The brigade commander said: "Kong Jie, this matter needs to be kept highly confidential, so I asked you to take the trouble to go there in person."
"Old brigadier, what happened?"
"Sit down first and let's talk slowly."
"Yes!"
The brigade commander and Kong Jie sat opposite each other. Today, the political commissar and chief of staff were missing from the brigade headquarters.
After Kong Jie sat down, the brigade commander thought for a moment and then said: "Kong Jie, it's like this. This mission was personally assigned by the headquarters. We need to send a secret elite combat team to the Tianjin Concession. In the Concession,
On the other hand, underground party comrades have recently contacted several experts and professors, as well as some overseas Chinese representatives."
"The intention of the headquarters is to bring these professors and overseas Chinese representatives to our base area."
"But I think you also know how difficult it is to escort professors and representatives back safely along the way."
"So after the headquarters' order was issued, I have been thinking about what kind of team to send to complete this mission."
"After much thought, this team must not only be extremely good at hiding, but also have very flexible and powerful combat capabilities once exposed. They must be able to adapt to changes and successfully escort the professors and representatives back."
"These professors and representatives are of great significance to our foundation and cannot be lost. I thought about it for a long time, and finally I thought of a team, which is the commando team of your independent regiment."
The brigade commander continued: "Among the small combat forces we have established on a fundamental basis, only the commandos of your independent regiment have successfully completed special operations missions many times, whether it was blowing up Mingbao Airport or rescuing Wei Dayong from prisoners of war.
A group of people went deep behind enemy lines during anti-mopping operations and defeated the Japanese temporary joint command headquarters in one fell swoop."
"If you want to complete this arduous mission, there is no one more qualified than your independent regiment commando."
Kong Jie said: "This way along, the Japanese troops deployed defenses everywhere. If anything goes wrong, they will be exposed. It is indeed a thousand difficulties and dangers."
"It's just that for our independent commando team, it's not difficult to go to the Tianjin Concession to hide or fight, or to escort people all the way back. But the difficulty is that I still don't know the specific situation of the Tianjin Concession.
My eyes are dark, so I have to have comrades to support and cooperate with me in advance."
The brigade commander smiled and said: "You can rest assured that the underground party comrades over there in the concession have already made arrangements."
Kong Jie immediately responded: "If that's the case, then there will be no problem. I promise to complete the mission. However, old brigade commander, I have one more request."
"Say!"
"I have to lead the team personally this time, otherwise I cannot guarantee the successful completion of the mission." Kong Jie said flatly.
The brigade commander was silent, thinking in his heart whether it was appropriate to send Kong Jie to take risks.
Kong Jie said: "Old brigade commander, there are quite good reasons why I want to lead the team.
First, the commando team was formed by me and was personally commanded by me. It is very handy and able to adapt to changes and successfully complete the mission.
Second, when we go to the Tianjin Concession this time, we must contact these professors and representatives. If the comrades we send do not have enough weight, will it mean that our Eighth Route Army is not impressive enough?"
After Kong Jie said this, the brigade commander thought for a long time and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will report this to the headquarters. If the headquarters approves, you will personally lead the team to carry out this mission."
"The time should be set in the next few days. The sooner the better, but you can't let me put down the military affairs within the independent regiment. It must be arranged."
Kong Jie stood up and saluted with a serious look on his face, and responded: "Yes, old brigade commander, please rest assured, there is still Wenjie in the regiment!"
Then, the brigade commander and Kong Jie went to the Tianjin Concession to pick up people and discussed a series of details.
It's all over.
"Brigade Commander, I will go back first. Please rest assured, Brigadier, I promise to complete the mission this time! Also... thank you very much, Brigadier!"
After that, Kong Jie said goodbye to the brigade commander and left from the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander was a little confused, thank me? Thank me for what?
When the political commissar came in from outside, he asked with some confusion: "Brigade commander, what kind of good job has Kong Jie got again? When I bumped into him outside just now, his face was full of smiles!"
The brigade commander said: "It's still a matter of picking people up."
The political commissar said: "That's strange. Isn't this a good job?"
"Who knows about this kid?" The brigade commander shook his head.
