A group of officers from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army came to the Independent Regiment to visit, exchange and learn.
Kong Jie did not show them the sophisticated equipment that the independent regiment now has after more than a year of development.
It also did not show them the strong combat effectiveness that the independent regiment, which has been victorious for more than a year, can display in actual combat.
It's just a military exercise for a few recruit companies.
But it left a bit of shock to all the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
They are just new recruits who have been trained for a month. The fighting will, solid military literacy and tactical coordination shown in previous military exercises are like a brave and fearless force.
What Kong Jie uncovered for the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of the independent regiment that has recently become famous throughout Shanxi.
After the military exercise, Kong Jie invited Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army to rush to the courtyard of the regiment headquarters for a short rest.
On the way, most of these Jinsui Army officers were still immersed in the military exercises of the new recruit companies.
In particular, Duan Peng led a squad that flexibly changed tactics and attacked the Eastern Army from the back of the mountain. This led to the reversal of the outcome of this military exercise and left everyone shocked.
When the exercise began, not to mention all the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, even most of the cadres of the independent regiment believed that the Eastern Army, which represented the Japanese squadron this time, had absolute advantages in all aspects.
If nothing else goes wrong, the winner of this military exercise will definitely be the Eastern Army.
But no one expected it, and the result was unexpected.
Chu Yunfei, who was walking on the way, smiled and said:
"Brother Kong's military exercise of the recruit company has reached this level. Chu is now more and more impatient to see the combat effectiveness that Brother Chu's troops can display on the real battlefield!"
Chu Yunfei is very smart and does not want to be dismissed by such a military exercise for new recruits.
The officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army came here this time in the name of visiting, communicating, and learning, but actually they wanted to find out the background of this independent regiment.
How can you tell the clues without witnessing the independent regiment fighting the Japanese army with your own eyes?
But Kong Jie didn't seem to care what Chu Yunfei's idea was, and smiled quite openly: "Okay! It's rare for Brother Chu and all the captains to come to our independent group as guests. If you have anything you want to see, I will definitely try my best.
Satisfy everyone."
"It's just that it's getting late now. Let's have lunch first. In the afternoon, I will take you to the outside of the guerrilla zone of our independent regiment to truly feel the atmosphere of the actual battlefield."
At noon, Kong Jie in the cooking squad did not make any special arrangements. As usual, it was the usual lunch for the soldiers.
When the food was served and placed on the Eight Immortals table in the courtyard outside the regiment headquarters, the commander of the Shanxi-Sui regiment smiled and said:
"Commander Kong, this is so interesting. I heard that the living conditions of your Eighth Route Army are difficult. It would be nice to have one meal a day. We have spent a lot of money on you coming here this time, and we have specially arranged this table."
Good food."
Just as he was talking, Wang, the leader of the cooking team, came over dragging several plates of food on a tray, took the delicious food off the tray, and placed it on the table.
Probably because he couldn't bear to listen to what the commander of the Jinsui Army just said, Lao Wang suddenly said:
"Sir, I'm afraid you are overthinking this. The soldiers are eating these meals back and forth every day, and they are almost tired of them."
"These days, everyone is shouting to me, saying that they want to remember the bitterness and sweetness, and eat some wild vegetables, grass roots or something!"
Kong Jile said: "Old Wang, you are the only one who talks a lot. Your cooking team is still busy, so there is no need to greet us."
"Yes!" Lao Wang responded, and couldn't help but murmured: "I'm afraid the superiors may have misunderstood. These meals are taken out of the big pot in the cooking class, and the soldiers are there.
They’ve all been eaten.”
Officers of the Jinsui Army: "..."
Chu Yunfei laughed heartily and said: "No wonder I heard that Brother Kong's independent regiment has been developing rapidly recently. The food of the soldiers in the regiment is now so good. It is really admirable!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "As a regiment leader, it is your duty to make sure the soldiers are well fed. Let's have a try. Is the food to your liking?"
Following Kong Jie's greeting, everyone started to move their chopsticks. Chu Yunfei took a bite of the food and tasted it, and then said with a surprised look on his face:
"Brother Kong, this is strange. Although Mr. Chu is not a cook, he does have some research on food.
This dish is supposedly an ordinary dish, but there seems to be a special aroma lingering on the tip of the tongue, as if it is the aroma of meat, but this is obviously just a braised tofu dish, how can it have the aroma of meat?
May I ask what seasonings are in this?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Brother Chu is really amazing. Others have a sharp eye. You are full of wisdom even in your mouth. I can't hide it. This is a special cooking seasoning specially made by my independent group's workshop. It's called
Chicken Essence."
"Chicken Essence?"
The officers of the Jinsui Army were all surprised. They had never heard of this kind of condiment.
Kong Jie arranged for the communications troops to go to the cooking class and bring back a pack of chicken essence.
The chicken essence produced by the independent group's processing plant has a very simple packaging. The word chicken essence is written on the outside, and the ingredients are not written directly, in order to prevent others from stealing the recipe.
A pack of chicken essence was handed to Chu Yunfei's hand. Chu Yunfei looked at it for a moment, poured a few pills, and tasted it in his mouth.
The chicken essence was then passed on to other officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Chu Yunfei, who closed his eyes and felt the taste for a moment, opened his eyes and sighed: "It's a bit like the MSG sold in the market, but it's more fragrant than MSG. It's indeed a good seasoning!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Brother Chu said yes, of course it is yes. If Brother Chu and the other group leaders like it, you might as well take a few bags with you when you leave. Consider it a gift from me, Kong Jie!" "Thank you very much, Commander Kong!"
The officers of the Jinsui Army expressed their thanks, but Yang Chongshan did not take it seriously. The 57th Regiment had already helped Kong Jie sell the chicken essence.
...It’s just that Captain Kong suddenly said the chicken essence, I’m afraid there are other articles in it.
In a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, lunch was finished, and Kong Jie asked the soldiers to clean up the house for the time being for the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army to rest.
During the lunch break, Kong Jie found Yang Chongshan, the leader of the 57th Regiment alone.
Yang Chongshan may be unsatisfactory in terms of military command, but in terms of business, he is definitely a good hand, and his brain is faster than anyone else.
As soon as Kong Jie mentioned the chicken essence, Yang Chongshan immediately understood what was going on.
"Brother Kong, don't worry. The other group leaders have also tasted the taste of the chicken essence today. After returning to the 57th group, I will find a way to contact them and expand sales! I understand this truth." p>
Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's easy to work with smart people.
Brother Chongshan, don’t worry, if you act as a middleman, I, Kong Jie, will definitely not treat you badly.
I can leave all the business of the other group leaders to you, and how much profit you can make from it is up to you, Brother Zhongshan."
"Brother Kong, are you serious about what you said?"
Yang Zhongshan asked quickly, this is an unexpected surprise. Don't underestimate this small bag of chicken essence. Yang Zhongshan knows better than anyone how great the benefits will be if the commercial channels are opened.
Kong Jie said: "Every spittle is a nail."
"Brother Kong, please don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me."
After the brief exchange, Yang Chongshan left with satisfaction.
As soon as Kong Jie returned to the regiment headquarters, Wang An, the head of the enemy engineering department, rushed to the regiment headquarters and whispered in Kong Jie's ear for a moment.
After hearing this, Kong Jie's face was filled with indescribable excitement, "Is the information confirmed?"
Wang An nodded, "Captain, don't worry. We have repeatedly verified that the information is absolutely true. In addition, we also received information that around three o'clock this afternoon, the location will be in Xiaoxugou, and there will be contact with the Japanese army again." "That's a good thing!" Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh with a smile on his face.
Wang Andao: "Captain, this group of traitors is not within the scope of activities of our independent regiment, but is within the jurisdiction of the New Second Regiment."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Lao Li, this guy is really lucky. Forget it, I'll give him an advantage. Just a few days ago, this guy asked me for remuneration for business cooperation, so I just took this to top it up."
"Okay, leave the detailed information, we won't worry about this matter for now."
"Yes!"
After Wang An left, Kong Jie immediately dialed the number of the New Second Regiment.
"Hello, I'm Kong Jie. I'm on the phone with Li Yunlong and tell your leader that I have a big deal for him."
New Second Group.
The communications soldier took the phone and turned to Li Yunlonghui, who was studying the map with Zhao Gang not far away:
"Reporting to the leader, this is the call from Captain Kong. He is calling you and says that he has a big deal for you!"
"Big deal?"
Li Yunlong said, got up and walked towards the phone.
Zhao Gang smiled and reminded from behind: "Lao Li, ask the matter clearly, be careful not to be tricked by Lao Kong again."
Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "As I said, our old Li never does business at a loss, how can his old Kong fool me?"
..."Hey, Lao Kong, aren't you here to receive the Jinsui Army? Why do you have time to call me?"
"What, big deal? Well, you say it, I'm listening!"
"... Damn it, is it real? With such a good deal, can you think of me?"
On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie scolded: "Lao Li, why don't you take advantage of it and act like a good boy? If this place hadn't been in the jurisdiction of your New Second Regiment, how could I have given you such a good deal?" p>
"In addition, Chu Yunfei and his party will probably have to stay in my independent group for the next two days. If I take action secretly, it will not look good on my face."
"So I'm thinking, if you do this, it's best to use your cavalry company to quickly pass through and catch him off guard. It only takes half a day to go back and forth."
"Just tell me whether you want to do it or not. If you don't do it, I would rather spend more time and do it myself."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he quickly replied: "No, I didn't say I wouldn't do it. This is a job that suits us, Mr. Li!"
"Okay, let's put it this way, Lao Kong, just wait and hear our good news! Hahahaha, what? You want equipment from me? It's a good idea. Let me tell you, there is no one else in the world except the old brigade commander.
I want to take half a penny out of Li Yunlong’s pocket."
Bang, Li Yunlong hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
Zhao Gang asked doubtfully: "Old Li, why are you smiling so happily?"
Li Yunlong said happily: "What a great thing, a free trade!
Lao Kong sent news that a battalion commander of the 117th Regiment of the Jinsui Army turned against the enemy and had an affair with the Japanese army. Will he meet the Japanese army at Xiaoxugou at three o'clock this afternoon?"
"Tell me, isn't this fat meat that's coming to our lips?"...
