In the morning of the next day, Kong Jie led Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army to continue visiting the independent group.
What to visit?
Visit the soft power of the Independent Group - the cultural education and promotion within the Independent Group.
In order to improve the generally low literacy rate of soldiers within the Independent Regiment, the Independent Regiment has established many literacy classes, renting the houses of villagers, and offering courses there, with some literate cadres serving as lecturers for the soldiers who came to study.
Literacy.
On the way to visit the study class with the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army, Kong Jie introduced:
"Our Eighth Route Army is not as good as your Jinsui Army in terms of culture, let alone the Central Army. Most of this army is made up of farmers, otherwise people would say that our Eighth Route Army is an army of people's sons!"
"Before I joined the army, my family came from a peasant family and had financial difficulties. How could we soldiers have the opportunity to study and become literate? Most of them were illiterate, so they came to join the army."
"Because of this, many people laugh at our Eighth Route Army as a weak-legged team."
"So I have always paid more attention to the cultural education of soldiers."
Having said that, when they arrived at the area where the literacy class was located, Kong Jie pointed to a row of houses not far away and said:
"This is a literacy class concentration area close to the regiment headquarters. The main teaching targets are soldiers who have never been to school and cannot read a word."
"The purpose of teaching is also very simple. It is to let the soldiers know some words first, and then slowly increase the follow-up education."
Chu Yunfei was also quite surprised by this. He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would attach such great importance to culture.
"Brother Kong, if you look at it this way, you Eighth Route Army troops are fighting the Japanese and learning culture without delay!"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "The main thing is to fight against the Japanese. Take time to learn culture. Learning culture is to better defeat the Japanese. This is the principle of sharpening your sword and cutting firewood."
The group of people chatted and laughed and quickly arrived at the place.
The literacy class room has a front door and a back door. The lecturer is teaching on the podium in front. When Kong Jie and his party arrived, they saw three big characters written on the blackboard:
People, soldiers, country.
The lecturer's voice spread from the podium, "Comrades, please pay attention. We usually talk about a piece of land and call it a place or a region. If you add a frame to it and completely surround it, it will be like
Encircle him in a place and build a kingdom. This is called a country, a country of countries!"
"Earlier we talked about the people. As the ancients said, there are four people in the world: scholars, merchants, farmers, and workers."
"Then I want to ask everyone, what kind of people do we belong to?"
A soldier immediately replied: "Teacher, then we must belong to farmers!"
The teacher smiled and said: "Yes, we are the farmers among these four.
But don’t underestimate our farmers. We farmers are the foundation for the operation of the entire country. Without us farmers cultivating the land and keeping food, what will the people of the country eat?”
"So in the final analysis, all the people in China are supported by our farmers."
After the teacher said a few words, the faces of the soldiers who were originally farmers were all filled with pride.
Changing the topic, the teacher continued: "The people we talked about earlier refer to non-military groups.
And where did our soldiers come from? Soldiers were converted from farmers. When farmers came to join the army, they became soldiers. When there are more soldiers, they form a large army. The army is used to defend us.
Land, that is, country.
This is the connection between the people, the military, and the country."
"So these three words can be said to be integrated and complementary to each other. If you can remember one, you can remember three. Wouldn't it be much easier to learn in this way?"
Bang bang bang bang——
Someone applauded behind the podium, and the teacher looked up, only to find that Kong Jie and his party were standing at the back door of the classroom at some point.
The teacher quickly wanted to salute Kong Jie, but Kong Jie raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating that he should ignore it.
So the teacher continued to teach.
"The group leader is here. The group leader came to see us in class."
"There are also some officers from the Jinsui Army!"
The whispered words spread quickly, and when the soldiers learned that Kong Jie and his party were listening to the class at the back of the classroom, they all became more energetic and listened to the teacher's lecture more attentively.
Chu Yunfei, who couldn't help but take the lead in applauding before, whispered to Kong Jie:
"Brother Kong, your lecturer's teaching level is very high. Just three words can lead to a lot of truths, and you can also connect them to each other for memorization. This method is indeed exquisite."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do. Our soldiers have low education and poor foundation. We can only teach them step by step. We must try our best to find ways to make it easier for them to learn and for our teachers to teach easier."
Chu Yunfei nodded, focused his eyes on a manual placed in front of the desk of a soldier in front of him, and asked: "Brother Kong, is this the teaching manual that the teacher uses as a teaching material?" <
/p>
"Exactly."
"Chun, can you take a look?"
"Of course," Kong Jie replied. The monk with sharp eyes and quick hands walked up to him in a few steps, asked a soldier to borrow a manual, and handed it to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei took the manual and looked at it, and the surrounding officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army also cast curious glances.
Between the first pages of the cover, there is a line of large characters written on it:
"Common Literacy Teaching Manual".
Open the content again and browse it, starting from a very basic part.
Each word ranges from simple to gradually difficult, and the associated memory, extended meaning, and teaching method of each word are marked. We try our best to make these simplest words can be understood in the most vivid and vivid way.
Accepted by groups with no foundation and no culture.
Although there is nothing amazing about the entire booklet, it is written in a very detailed and decent manner. It starts from the most basic parts and is very systematic.
It can be seen that he is a person who is extremely familiar with words, and his erudition and erudition are fully demonstrated in the few words he expounds.
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Kong, who is the author of this manual?"
Chu Yunfei has never heard of such a common literacy teaching manual on the market.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Oh, this is a booklet written by Lao Zhao, specially used to teach literacy to soldiers.
They are Zhao Gang, the current political commissar of the New Second Regiment, and Li Yunlong’s partner."
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei said with emotion: "This commonly used literacy teaching manual has detailed and specific content, and the person who compiled it is a great talent. In this way, I must meet this Brother Zhao."
We also visited several literacy classes. When leaving the literacy classes, Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army felt quite emotional.
The nearly all-round development of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment has made them feel pressure invisibly.
The Eighth Route Army is behind enemy lines, and what they do every day is more than just fighting Japanese enemies.
It is both economic construction and cultural construction.
When thinking of this, some of the more far-sighted officers of the Jinsui Army even thought in their hearts that if this development continues, the Eighth Route Army may become a remarkable force.
At least these things seen in the Independent Regiment, as far as Chu Yunfei and his party knew, basically did not exist within the Jinsui Army.
In the Jinsui Army, if you are pulled over, you will be fighting for food. As for learning cultural courses and training, that is nonsense.
After such a comparison, the gap was immediately widened by the independent group.
Then, Kong Jie took Chu Yunfei and his party to visit some entertainment venues built by the independent group.
In this regard, Kong Jie said: "Although we soldiers are soldiers, we are also human beings. As long as we are human, we not only need material needs, but also spiritual enjoyment."
"The tragedy of the war brought not only physical trauma to the soldiers, but also a psychological blow.
Therefore, these entertainment constructions are quite necessary.
After the war and intense military training, the soldiers were organized to engage in some recreational activities, such as tug-of-war, playing football, etc.
It can always make the soldiers feel relieved from the intense military training and combat."
"In addition, our regiment has also established some special psychological counseling departments."
"Especially for those soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time, killed Japanese soldiers for the first time, or soldiers who suffered psychological trauma due to the war, to enlighten their psychology."
After this series of visits, Chu Yunfei and his party became more and more emotional.
This independent regiment really takes every aspect of the soldiers into consideration.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Jie was taking Chu Yunfei and his party to watch a ball game organized by the soldiers. A soldier came to Kong Jiehui and reported:
"Report to the head of the regiment. Several soldiers from the Jinsui Army came to the station. They said they were soldiers of Commander Shi of the 117th Regiment. They came to report the situation to Commander Shi. We temporarily stopped them and asked the regiment commander for instructions!
”
Kong Jie did not speak, but Shi Kui, the commander of the 117th Regiment, changed his expression slightly and said to Kong Jie: "Captain Kong, I'll excuse you for a moment. I'll go take a look and then come back."
Kong Jie said: "Commander Shi, please excuse me."
Shi Kui quickly led the guards to the entrance of Niukou Village and met the signal corps sent by his deputy commander Chu Zhengwen.
When the communications soldier met Shi Kui, without saying a word, he quickly told the whole story about a series of things that happened in the 117th Regiment after Shi Kui left.
After hearing this, Shi Kui's face changed drastically. He first said angrily: "This bastard Third Battalion Commander, damn it, dares to have an affair with the Japanese invaders! Damn it, you really deserve to die."
Then, I heard that more than 300 soldiers of the third battalion were kidnapped by Li Yunlong, commander of the new second regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and even the equipment of a battalion led by deputy commander Chu Zhengwen were also disarmed. p>
Shi Kui's heart thumped, secretly thinking that it was not good.
After thinking about it, Shi Kui said: "You should return to the regiment now and tell the deputy commander that I have received the situation and will find a way to get the equipment back from Li Yunlong."
"This matter cannot be made public. You two should keep it secret from me. Try your best to cover up this matter and prevent the news from being exposed."
"Yes!"
After arranging several signal soldiers, Shi Kui sorted out his mood, regained his composure, and returned.
When Kong Jie saw Shi Kui return, he knew what had happened, but he pretended to be confused and asked: "Captain Shi, what happened?"
Shi Kui's character was quite good. There was no clue on his face. He shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing. It's just that something small happened in the regiment. The signal soldier came and reported it to me."
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!" Kong Jie said with a bright smile.
But it was obvious that due to the impact of this incident, Shi Kui was always absent-minded during the subsequent visit.
It wasn't until the next morning that Shi Kui couldn't wait to express to Kong Jie that he wanted to visit Li Yunlong's new second group.
Therefore, Kong Jie made arrangements to escort Chu Yunfei, Yang Chongshan, and Shi Kui to the New Second Regiment.
In addition, some officers from the Jinsui Army rushed to Ding Wei's new regiment to visit and exchange.
A group of Shanxi-Sui Army officers stayed in the Independent Regiment for two full days. After leaving one after another, Kong Jie called the monk and asked: "Monk, how is the investigation of the specific situation going?"
The monk replied: "Captain, the news has been sent back. Commander Li is too ruthless. The third battalion of the 117th Regiment had an affair with the Japanese. There were more than 300 people who were ready to surrender to the Japanese. Captain Li was killed."
They immediately captured the New Second Regiment, including the people and equipment.
The deputy commander of the 117th Regiment at the back led another unit and rushed to support them. On the way, Commander Li and his friends took away their equipment and sent them back empty-handed."
Kong Jie said happily: "Lao Li is really good at making a fortune. So, now he has the equipment of two battalions of the 117th Regiment in the hands of his new Second Regiment, as well as more than 300 prisoners!" "No wonder Shi Kui couldn't sit still and rushed towards the New Second Regiment."
The monk said: "Captain, what should we do next?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "What are you doing? Of course you are just waiting to see the show! By the way, Ye Min, have Mu Mu and the others explained everything?"
"Don't worry, captain, everything has been explained."
Kong Jie said: "That's good. Our purpose this time is to let these Shanxi-Sui Army officers who come for exchanges and studies take a good look at the capabilities of our Eighth Route Army and give them a long experience."
"The province will surrender to the Japanese army at every turn in the future."
Having said this, Kong Jie was thinking that, according to the time, there might be some movement from the Japanese side soon.
The viewing group that came to your door is a big piece of fat.
Will that old devil Yamamoto take the opportunity to lead a sneak attack?
Kong Jie was still uneasy unless Yamamoto and his special agents were completely eradicated.
……
……
The new second regiment’s residence.
When Chu Yunfei and his party arrived, Li Yunlong showed much more enthusiasm than Kong Jie.
"Haha, brother Yunfei, I have been hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally your brother is here for my new second group!"
Still far away, Li Yunlong led Zhao Gang and his entourage to greet them. Before anyone arrived, he shouted loudly.
An officer of the Jinsui Army laughed and said: "This Commander Li is even more enthusiastic than Commander Kong!"
Chu Yunfei laughed and reminded: "Don't underestimate this Li Yunlong. This guy is enthusiastic on the surface, but he has an abacus in his heart like no other!"
"Brother Yunlong, farewell to Cangyunling. You're all right!"
The two parties greeted each other and soon met, Chu Yunfei said with a smile.
Li Yunlong said loudly: "It's great to have friends from far away! Brother Yunfei, brother Yunfei, why is this magpie always chirping in the beam of my house today? I know your brother is coming."
”
"Brother Yunfei, I heard about this very early in the morning and quickly brought people to greet me. I have been waiting for a long time!"
"???"
Chu Yunfei was a little surprised in his heart. Is this still the Li Yunlong he saw in Cangyunling?
According to his investigation, Li Yunlong has no education and is simply from a mud-legged background.
But after what he said just now, when will he, Li Yunlong, become literate?
I also thought of what Kong Jie said: while the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Japanese, they never gave up on learning cultural knowledge.
Chu Yunfei was relieved and sighed. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army not only had a completely new look, but also the generals were making rapid progress.
If these weak-legged people who are already good at fighting can make up for their shortcomings in cultural knowledge, it will be even more terrifying.
The two parties exchanged a few words, and Li Yunlong invited Chu Yunfei and his party to come into the house.
Shi Kui, who was caught in the team, wanted to come forward and talk to Li Yunlong several times, but there were too many people and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"This is Lao Zhao, my new political commissar of the Second Regiment, my good partner!"
Li Yunlong introduced Zhao Gang to Chu Yunfei and his party.
Zhao Gang smiled, shook hands with Chu Yunfei and others one by one, neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "All generals are the backbone of the Anti-Japanese War. This time you are coming to our New Second Regiment. On behalf of all the soldiers of the New Second Regiment, Lao Li and I would like to extend a warm welcome to you all."
."
Chu Yunfei recalled the general literacy teaching course he had seen in Kong Jie's independent group and asked: "I wonder where Brother Zhao graduated?"
Li Yunlong on the side said proudly: "Hey, brother Yunfei, you have got the right answer. Our old Zhao is a serious and well-known university student. He graduated from Yenching University and studied at Yan'an Kangda University after graduation." "It's full of culture and full of ink. Just look at me, Lao Li, and you'll know. What's the idiom called? We've been influenced by the cultural atmosphere of Lao Zhao. Hey, I don't know.
In the blink of an eye, even we, Mr. Li, are educated!"
"That's not all. I'm afraid you don't know that Lao Zhao is also a very good sniper."
"In one battle, the enemy's heavy machine gun fire was so fierce that many of our soldiers fell under the muzzle of the gun, unable to survive.
As a result, there was a distance of nearly 500 meters between Lao Zhao. Good guy, with a big 38-meter cover, he killed the Japanese machine gunner with just one shot. The soldiers then took the opportunity to rush up and snatch it away.
Position."
"The ancients said that they were both civil and military, and if you ask me, they are talking about people like our old Zhao."
Zhao Gang has a humble character, but Li Yunlong has said so, what else can he say? He can only respond with a wry smile.
Chu Yunfei was even more surprised when he heard this, secretly thinking that the Eighth Route Army was really full of talents.
The two parties entered the room and sat down. First, they talked about what they had seen and heard in Kong Jie's independent regiment. The officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army were all filled with emotion.
The commander of the Jinsui Army gave Li Yunlong eye drops, "We have visited Commander Kong's Independent Regiment, and it is indeed developing very well, but we believe that Commander Li's new Second Regiment will not be bad either." p>
Li Yunlong seemed not to understand the meaning, and said to the topic: "Hey, I like to listen to what this brother has to say. Although Lao Kong's independent regiment is developing well, when the commanders of the regiments come to my territory, Li Yunlong, I have to take them.
Come up with something for everyone to see."
"To be honest, brother, I have been looking for an opportunity to fight the Japanese for the past two days. When the time comes, I will invite all the captains to watch the battle."
Then there are some topics. As for soldiers, most of them probably focus on the current anti-Japanese situation.
Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei, two men with both civil and military talents, started to talk about it, and after their words, everyone was filled with generosity and anger.
……
……
At the same time, in the direction of Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka is working with a group of staff on how to destroy the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Base after the main force returns.
For this reason, Okamura Neiji, the top commander of the Japanese army in North China, once mentioned the iron gun mopping up tactics with Yoshio Shinozuka.
That is to say, first compress the Eighth Route Army into a narrow strip from both wings, and then use heavy troops to slowly crush it from one end to the other, rolling back and forth, and carry out a comb-style sweep, so as to restrain the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics.
In addition, Yoshio Shinozuka believed that a multi-layered encirclement could be set up. In this way, even if the Eighth Route Army broke through one or two layers of encirclement, it would still be surrounded by the Japanese army.
It can destroy the Eighth Route Army troops with the highest efficiency.
Of course, this kind of large-scale sweep against the Eighth Route Army still needs to be tested. According to the order of Okamura Neiji, Shinozuka Yoshio's First Army will be the first to implement the operation. The final effect will be seen before deciding whether to popularize it.
By chance, the intelligence department of the First Army got information from within the Jinsui Army.
A group of Shanxi-Sui Army officers are at the headquarters of the Taihang Base Area, conducting exchanges and studies with the Eighth Route Army officers.
The approximate location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters command structure was also exposed.
Yoshio Shinozuka hatched a vicious battle plan in his heart.
He attempted to use the latest Tiejun mopping up tactics to deal with the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang base area.
At that time, in order to prove the practicality of the iron rolling tactic and promote the iron rolling tactic.
The Japanese Army in North China will send a field observation group composed of more than 100 army officers from various ministries to accompany the army for on-the-spot learning.
Of course, Shinozuka Yoshio does not mind taking the opportunity to promote the special tactics of his favorite general Yamamoto Kazuki while promoting the iron gun mopping tactics.
During the operation, innovative iron gun sweeping tactics were used to cooperate with the beheading operation of the Yamamoto special agent team.
If Yamamoto's special agent team can take the lead in destroying the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it will also be of great benefit to the success of Tiejun's mopping up tactics.
The Iron Gun sweep can provide the best cover for Yamamoto's special agent team's beheading operation.
After this plan was born in Yoshio Shinozuka's mind, it never left his mind.
This old devil had a sweet dream in his heart of killing two birds with one stone.
When Shinozuka Yoshio secretly summoned Yamamoto and revealed his plan.
The ecstasy that appeared on Yamamoto’s old face at that time!
"Thank you, General, for your support. Yamamoto will certainly live up to his expectations this time!"
This is a once-in-a-lifetime stage set up by Yoshio Shinozuka for Yamamoto.
If you want to promote the special tactics of Yamamoto's special agent team and use them to deal with the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, now is the best time...
