After the appointment at the headquarters was finalized, Commander Kong suddenly became the detachment leader of four regiments.
It stands to reason that we should be busier, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite.
Why?
Before the first independent anti-Japanese detachment in northwestern Shanxi was established, the independent regiment had five battalions.
The affairs of the whole regiment have to be handled, and the affairs of each battalion have to be coordinated. Political commissar Li Wenjie is too busy alone, and Kong Jie, who is helping, is also too busy to stop.
But since the establishment of this first team, Captain Kong’s life has become completely comfortable.
Anyway, the three independent regiment leaders, Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, and Wang Huaibao, are in charge of the Second, Third, and Fourth Independent Regiments!
When I was in the independent regiment, the brigade commander was basically free-range!
Apart from coming here every three days to congratulate and make a fortune, he basically does not interfere in any affairs of the independent group.
So Kong Jie, who also serves as the leader of the Independent Regiment, said:
"As long as there is no war, my status as captain of the detachment will be empty. I will manage my own independent regiment."
After the 1st Independent Regiment was reduced, the strength of the three battalions was much easier to manage than the original Independent Regiment with a big business.
In addition, there are also the 1st Battalion Commander Lei Dasheng and the 2nd Battalion Commander Du Aiguo!
When Lei Dasheng was called to the 1st regiment headquarters and detachment headquarters, Kong Jie patted Lei Dasheng on the shoulder and said sincerely:
"Commander of the first battalion, once the fifth regiment is established, you, the regimental commander, will carry two shoulders and one head. You, Shen Quan, and Wang Leihu are old men of the same period. You can't let them compete."< /p>
"In this way, although I can't directly give you a position, I should assign you tasks in advance so that you can practice your skills."
"From today on, in addition to serving as the battalion commander of the first regiment, you will also put more thought and practice into the daily training, daily work, organization and coordination of the soldiers of this regiment. ”
When Lei Dasheng heard this, he naturally didn't say anything. This was the leader's respect for him.
"Yes, leader, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!"
In this way, as an independent group, Kong Jie doesn't have to worry about anything, he just needs to control the general direction.
While drinking wine, eating peanuts, and humming a few lines of popular songs at the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie thought happily, is it really difficult to be a detachment leader and command three or four regiments?
I don’t feel anything at all!
Captain Kong was very interested and even thought about writing a script or two for the comrades in the Literature and Art Department!
Opposite the cozy kang in the regiment headquarters is the seat where political commissar Li Wenjie often sits. It is cold and has not been warm for a moment.
After the establishment of the first detachment, Li Wenjie, the political commissar, was busy running around, and his buttocks did not fall off the stool for a moment.
At this moment, Political Commissar Li is checking, implementing, and resettling various matters in the base area and various departments for refugees and members of the migrant workers' corps.
After the implementation is completed, various issues related to the recent reclamation of wasteland by the migrant workers' group must be dealt with one by one according to the factory production and workshop operation in the area.
All in all, I am too busy.
"Wenjie, lately, you have to worry more about the affairs inside and outside the group.
During this time, I have some new ideas. I have to deal with some operating mechanisms in the base areas, some reform technologies for agricultural development, etc.
This needs to be written out, and it will probably take a lot of time. You have to take care of the team's affairs and help me carve out enough time..."
"I'm busy. When you were busy, I was busier than you at the regiment headquarters! I kept writing with the pen, and my hand almost cramped when I wrote. Really, as an elder brother, could I still lie to you?"
Three times, five times and two times, the trick came down.
Li Wenjie was almost deceived by Captain Kong.
One dares to say it and the other dares to believe it.
Who asked Kong Jie to come up with something from time to time, or some ideas and designs for military production, or some ideas for factory construction and product sales... Political Commissar Li Wenjie would always be amazed!
While drinking a small drink, Kong Jie couldn't help but tease Li Yunlong in his heart.
You said that Lao Li is so confused. He just leaves everything to Lao Zhao. How can he distinguish so clearly about military and life matters?
As a regiment leader, if we can fight the battle well, plan the development of the base area well, and provide guidance, isn’t that great?
Just as he was talking, Xie Baoqing rushed to the regiment headquarters to report the situation.
Kong Jie is quite satisfied with Xie Baoqing's performance after becoming the leader of the first migrant workers' regiment.
At present, the migrant workers' regiment is playing a considerable role in various economic constructions in the base area.
"I said to Lao Xie, the team of migrant workers is getting bigger and bigger. You are a very busy person now. How come you have time to come to me?"
Kong Jie smiled and asked Xie Baoqing to sit down on the Kang seat opposite.
On this hot day, Xie Baoqing casually wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Since Kong Jie, the detachment leader, also serves as the leader of the First Independent Regiment, everyone still tends to call him Captain Kong Jie out of the habit of the old independent regiment.
Xie Baoqing said: "Captain, I am here this time. I have two main things to report to you."
"Say it!" Kong Jie said.
"Yes!" Xie Baoqing responded. After a little wording, he replied: "Captain, the first thing I have to report to you is that just two days ago, the bandits from Xiaoliang Mountain in Dalong Mountain heard The news came to me and told me that I wanted to join our migrant workers group and work for you, the group leader."
"The bandits from Dalong Mountain and Xiaoliang Mountain... Oh, I remembered. It was you, Lao Xie, who took over the mission and went to Xiaoliang Mountain to rescue Xu Qingnian in person." Kong Jie said.
But he said that Xiaoliangshan, a group of bandits originally entrenched in Dalongshan near Tan County, was quite unlucky.
Initially, it was because I was fooled by Kong Jie.
When Kong Jie, the mastermind behind the scenes, single-handedly created the wave of robbing Japanese county towns that started in Tan County and swept the entire northwestern Shanxi, Xiaoliangshan became Kong Jie's scapegoat.
Later, Kong Jie took advantage of the bandits in Xiaoliang Mountain and sent Shen Quan with a cavalry company in the direction of Taiyuan City, taking the opportunity to disrupt the plan of the 251st Regiment of the National Army to surrender to the enemy.
Later, Kong Jie used the help of military commander Dai Yong to deal with Lu Duoxian, the leader of the 251st Regiment of the National Army who had surrendered to the enemy, and also seized a large number of weapons from the 251st Regiment.
It was just that the Independent Regiment was busy in the future, so Kong Jie forgot about the bandits in Xiaoliangshan.
I didn't expect that these bandits would come to seek refuge now.
Now searching his memory, Kong Jie said with a smile: "I remember that the big boss of Xiaoliangshan was called Timely Rain, Liu Baisheng?"
"Captain, speaking of it, the bandits in Xiaoliang Mountain are indeed unlucky. After the robbery of the Japanese bank in Tan County, the Japanese went into the mountains to encircle and suppress these bandits."
"Liu Baisheng and his group of bandits were hiding in the mountains. They were starving all day long. There were originally a team of more than 100 people. Because they couldn't eat, they ran away and fled, leaving only 20 or 30 people left. ”
"This time I was desperate. I heard that our migrant workers' group wanted someone, and they had an old relationship with me, so I came here specifically to seek refuge."
After thinking for a while, Kong Jie replied: "Okay, since you Lao Xie has spoken, as long as we are willing to change our ways, our Eighth Route Army has always tolerated all rivers and rivers, even bandits."
"It's just that you still have to go through the process, which is the same as the bandits you took in before."
"Tell them that after joining the migrant workers' corps, in the first few months, I will take care of their food and accommodation.
But there is no salary, you have to let them understand why.
Since you have been a bandit, you have to pay some price for your mistakes.
How did you, Lao Xie, reform labor in the mines back then, and how did they carry it out? I think you, Lao Xie, have quite a lot of experience in this regard."
Xie Baoqing smiled bitterly. The days of labor reform in the mine were always vivid in his mind.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little emotional. Although it was hard work, it did change the mentality of Xie Baoqing and other bandits.
"Don't worry, Commander, I will personally find out any bandits who have had human lives on their hands and have done any unscrupulous and evil deeds, and send them to the Military Justice Department. As for other bandits, they must also undergo the labor reform we have carried out."
."
"When they really change their ways and want to work down-to-earth to earn money, then I will allow them to officially join our migrant workers' league."
Xie Baoqing assured.
Kong Jie nodded, and Xie Baoqing continued:
"Captain, the second thing I want to report to you is that during this period, I discovered that the members of our migrant workers' union have a drawback when working, that is, there are too many workers working, and it is not easy to record work."<
/p>
"Who contributed how much effort, who did how much work, the situations are all different, so we can't generalize, right?"
"For this reason, I noticed that among our migrant workers, many people are unable to get motivated!"
"They all get a day's wages for a day's work. Some are just fishing and working as foreigners, while others work a lot steadily, but in the end they get the same money. This is so unfair!
”
It can be seen that in order to manage the migrant workers group and improve work efficiency, Xie Baoqing has really worked hard.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Lao Xie, I have also considered this matter. It can be easily handled."
"Let's just follow this piece-rate system."
"Piece-work hour system?" Xie Baoqing was confused.
Kong Jie explained: "To put it simply, you get paid as much as you do. The more you work, the more you get, and the less you do, the less you get."
"Those who want to be lazy will make less money, and those who work hard can get rich through hard work. It's that simple."
"As for the specific implementation, supervision, and recording, I have already prepared these.
Relevant guidelines and manuals will be compiled soon and then distributed to various migrant workers’ groups for implementation.
In addition, we will set up some military stations on the migrant workers' transportation lines in the future to count the amount of work done by migrant workers and provide workers with a place to rest midway."
Kong Jie also talked to Xie Baoqing about the specific piece-rate working hours system for members of the migrant workers' corps.
After hearing this, Xie Baoqing suddenly realized that he admired Kong Jie's arrangements.
"Captain, my worries are unfounded. It turns out that you have already considered this."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing to be more careful, Lao Xie, I'm optimistic about you.
You have to change your fundamental thinking for me. You are now the leader of the migrant workers group, and you have a lot of responsibilities and burdens.
I lived a confused life in the first half of my life, but I have to have a bright mind in the second half of my life. I look forward to a real man who will work hard for the construction of the motherland!"
"Yes, I will work hard for the development and construction of the motherland. Leader, I will not betray your trust!"
"Go!"
"Yes!"
Xie Baoqing turned and left.
Looking at the bandit leader he had transformed with his own hands, Kong Jie nodded with satisfaction.
Xie Baoqing left, and the monk came to report: "Commander, Staff Officer Xu Guoan from the brigade is here!"
Kong Jie was overjoyed, rushed out of the room, and said with a smile: "What brigade staff officer? From today on, Lao Xu will be the chief of staff of our detachment!"
Xu Guoan, who was rushing to the entrance of the hospital, laughed and said:
"Haha, Lao Kong, after so long, we can finally work together again!"
