In the past few days, Captain Kong Da has been extra diligent than usual.
"Monk, it's time, hurry up and get all your comrades in the guard camp and let's run and do it together!"
Early in the morning, when the sun came out in the west, Kong Jie got up early and even woke up the monk.
The monk who just got up from the bed rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Kong Jie, saluted with a military salute, and then blurted out: "Commander, this is strange, I have never seen you with our guard camp before.
Just run around!"
Kong Jie winked and cursed in a low voice: "You brat, stop talking nonsense. I hid the good wine under the counter two days ago and let you drink it secretly, right?"
Then he glared and threatened, and raised his voice a little louder: "This physical fitness is the most solid foundation for soldiers, so whether it is spring or winter, all the soldiers in our team must train.
Running exercise is one of the must-do exercises for the army.
Even if I am the group leader, I am no exception. I have to lead my comrades to run and exercise together early every morning."
Monk: "..."
Then when he raised his head and saw reporter Shen Wenyue following Kong Jie, the monk suddenly understood. He hit his forehead and understood everything.
"Hey, Captain, you are afraid of someone too!" The monk leaned next to Kong Jie and lowered his voice and laughed.
Kong Jie said in a low voice: "Bullshit, can I be afraid of reporter Shen? I am mainly worried about the reporters from the headquarters. If they tarnish our image again and bring it to the head of the brigade, what will happen to us?"
Isn’t the image completely ruined?
In addition, reporter Shen is also free and insists on giving me an exclusive interview.
I have to show off!"
The monk immediately suppressed his laughter and responded: "I understand, I understand everything. Please rest assured, leader, I promise to complete the task!"
As he said that, the monk raised his voice and shouted: "Comrades, get ready to get up and run. The leader is here to take us to run and exercise again!"
……One two one, one two one, one, two, three, four
"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, like a song, gray military camp... One, one, one, one, give me a rifle, two, two, two, two, two, without saying a word, for the motherland. Three, three, three, the soldiers of the three armies are suffering but enjoying themselves..."
Under the leadership of Kong Jie, the soldiers in the guard camp were indeed in higher spirits than in the past when they were running and exercising.
Especially during the shooting accompanied by reporter Shen Wenyue, everyone was even more active in expressing themselves, and the running team became more uniform.
Shouting slogans, singing military songs, and sweating on the training ground.
The military career is tragic and heroic with bloodshed and sacrifice; while the sadness of sweating training is also mixed with fulfillment and joy.
Then, after a song that spanned history, one, two, three, four.
Kong Jie took the lead in another song "March of the Broadsword".
It further demonstrates the strength and perseverance of the iron-blooded troops fighting on the front line.
After the running exercise, there was some sweat on Kong Jie's forehead, and the chill that was approaching winter was completely dispelled.
The monk accompanied him with a smile on his face. This guy's physical fitness was different from ordinary people. Even after running and doing exercises, there was not much sweat on his body.
I still have to practice stone locks for half an hour later. In the words of the monk: This level of training intensity is just enough for me to squeeze through.
Shen Wenyue, who had been conducting an exclusive interview with Kong Jie in the past few days, came over with a camera. Her ears seemed to be recalling the impassioned melody that the soldiers had just sung during the training ground.
"Captain Kong, is this the one, two, three, four song you composed?"
Kong Jie smiled and nodded.
Kong Jie has always been known as an honest person in his public statements, and his appearance is also serious and simple.
And it is such an image of an iron-blooded general who should be full of heroism and arrogance, but he is able to compose such beautiful and generous military songs.
The contrast between before and after makes Captain Kong Da more and more unique.
Even reporter Shen Wenyue, who has traveled all over the country and met many famous people, has to admit that the charm of Captain Kong is unique.
She has always marveled at this: "Commander Kong, sometimes I am really surprised. Can a brave general like you who fights on the battlefield and does not hesitate to wrap his body in horse leather can also compose a song with such a melody?" p>
In this regard, Kong Jie was unusually modest: "Well, it's just random words and tunes. It's boring for the soldiers in the army to train and fight. Singing some songs can enrich everyone's lives."
Kong Jie thought to himself: I can’t say that although I can’t write lyrics, I can plagiarize, right?
When the monk on the side mentioned his group leader, he was full of praise and said: "Reporter Shen, you don't know where you are now?
Our leader is a great man of culture.
Even Political Commissar Zhao of the New Second Regiment, who graduated from Yenching University, you know, right?
He always praised our group leader as a literary star who came down to earth and was self-taught without a teacher!
Not to mention the military songs written by our regiment leader, in addition to the "One, Two, Three, Four" song, there are also "We Soldiers" and "Returning from Target Shooting". Each of these military songs is important to us.
The whole Taihang base area is very popular!"
Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "Battle Commander Wei, I have seen these military songs you mentioned in the military song album collected by the headquarters.
In this regard, what I want to say is that if he were not fighting on the front line, I think Commander Kong would definitely be an outstanding musician!"
Cough cough cough cough——
After coughing a few times, Kong Jie felt really sorry for being praised, so he simply changed the subject, glared at the monk and said, "Okay, nothing will happen here without you, so hurry up and take the guard camp for training!"
The monk said: "Hey, leader, I also want to be interviewed exclusively!"
"Get lost!" Kong Jie said.
"Hey!" The monk responded, turned around and ran away.
Shen Wenyue on the side held back a smile and said, "Captain Kong, your relationship with the soldiers is really harmonious."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "This boy, monk, has such a poor mouth that he deserves to be scolded!
Let’s not talk about this anymore, Miss Shen, then I will take you around our detachment to see the operation and development of each production factory of our detachment!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As a person of later generations, who even married a wife and had children, Kong Jie naturally does not understand feelings.
Speaking of romantic ways to pick up girls, it was no problem to pick up three or five girls at once on the train.
It’s just that the situation changed at this time. Since becoming Kong Jie, he has been with the soldiers, throwing his head and blood on the battlefield. Under the layers of national righteousness, under the subtle influence, Kong Jie finally understood:
Personal emotions are really not worth mentioning compared to national interests.
The Japanese invaders have not yet been eliminated.
Kong Jie really doesn’t have this intention.
Emotional matters can just be left to chance.
After accompanying Shen Wenyue around the production plants of the first team, it was almost noon.
When he returned to the detachment headquarters, Kong Jie pretended to be busy again, and even asked Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie, who were also at the detachment headquarters, many questions about the group.
Captain Kong said with emotion: "To be honest, the scale of this army's development has also been large, but there are also disadvantages of being large. Who can I, as the leader, not worry about all the big and small things in the whole regiment?
It’s so busy that I can’t even keep the stool warm every day..."
Kong Jie was talking to himself, while Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie looked strange. If they hadn't noticed that Reporter Shen was still there, they would have rolled their eyes at Kong Jie.
After finally sending Shen Wenyue away, Kong Jie breathed a long sigh of relief, then crossed his legs and sat happily on his warm Kang.
"Hey, I said, Lao Kong, it's already spring, why are you still sitting on the kang?"
Xu Guoan said jokingly.
Kong Jie said in astonishment: "Spring? I'm talking about Lao Xu, what are you talking about? Isn't it already winter?"
Xu Guoan smiled and said: "For the rest of us, it is indeed winter, but we can't compare to you, Lao Kong, it's spring!"
"Spring, what spring?" Kong Jie said, pretending to be confused.
Xu Guoan said: "Pretend, Lao Kong, just keep pretending! With such a big beauty, accompanying her back and forth every day, isn't this spring?"
When it comes to being thick-skinned, Kong Jie has never been inferior to others. How could he be embarrassed by Xu Guoan's few words?
Captain Kong, whose expression remained unchanged, retorted: "What you said is such an injustice to me, Lao Xu, I did this purely to deal with the reporters from the headquarters!"
Xu Guoan said: "Really? But these days I almost don't recognize you, Lao Kong. You are busy here and there. This is running exercises, helping Wenjie and I handle affairs, and caring about everyone in the group."
Kind of trivial matters.
The most important thing is that your beard, which you usually don’t shave every half month, is shaved as soon as you get up in the past two days.
You know, you, Lao Kong, lead troops to fight every day, but you don’t know, I thought you were just here for a blind date!
I said, Lao Kong, your worries are all on your face, it’s obvious, why are you pretending?"
Hahahaha——
For a moment, the entire detachment headquarters burst into laughter.
……
……
Time flies by in such a fulfilling, hard work, mixed with joy.
In the early morning of this day, Kong Jie got up and tore off a page from the calendar. His eyes reflected a special look, "It's the 22nd day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar, and what is supposed to come is about to come!"
It seems that nothing can be seen at this time of the lunar calendar.
If you convert it to the Gregorian calendar, it would be December 10, 1941.
In the past few days, a lot of big things happened.
In the military combat meeting held at the headquarters of a team, all regiment leaders and political commissars participated.
At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Guoan, the chief of staff, took the lead in saying: "Comrades, it seems that everything in our team has been calm in the past two days, and there has been no major fighting.
But what everyone doesn’t know is that the international situation is changing rapidly, and many drastic changes have taken place!
Just the day before yesterday, guess what?
That little devil suddenly attacked the American Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific War completely broke out.
On the second day, the United States officially declared war on Japan.
In addition, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, we have fought hard with the Japanese army for so many years. We have always used the name of the Anti-Japanese War and did not dare to declare war easily.
And just yesterday, comrades, our National Government also officially declared war on Japan!
What does this mean?
This means that from now on, our anti-Japanese cause has been completely put on the table."
Although the Japanese invaders have not been driven out yet.
However, the news of the Nationalist Government's high-profile declaration of war against Japan spread, which greatly inspired the determination of all military and civilians across China to resist Japan.
Even in enemy-occupied areas, the anti-Japanese sentiment among the people was unprecedentedly high.
Political Commissar Li Wenjie then read the announcement issued by the Nationalist Government declaring war on Japan:
The Nationalist Government declared on the 9th: "We hereby formally declare war on Japan and declare to China and foreign countries that all treaties, agreements, and contracts involving relations between China and Japan will be abolished."
……
Starting from the September 18th Incident, the Sino-Japanese War broke out.
Until December 1941, during more than ten years of resistance, the Chinese military and civilians paid a heavy price in casualties in order to resist foreign humiliation and strive for national independence.
However, during the war that lasted more than ten years, the Nationalist Government always refused to declare war against Japan, using the excuse of war of resistance and never explicitly declared war on Japan.
The two countries have not even announced the severance of diplomatic relations, and there are even many business exchanges.
This kind of war without declaring war is also rare throughout the history of international social interests.
In fact, the Chinese people are not lacking in backbone and passion. After the September 18th Incident, many patriotic people were indignant and applied to the government, stating that "the country can be changed, but this ambition cannot be shaken; I would rather die standing than kneeling."
Life; Jue and the Japanese pirates fighting to the death" and so on.
Request to sever diplomatic relations with Japan and declare war on Japan.
However, the Nationalist Government believes that it is not appropriate to declare war on Japan at the moment. There are four reasons:
First, there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. China’s current national strength is not enough to resist Japan.
Second, declaring war would cause Japan to expand its aggression and fall into the trap of the Japanese army.
Third, avoiding war is a moral responsibility, and not declaring war is to safeguard justice.
Fourth, if war is declared, China will lose the sympathy of the international community and the assistance of other countries to China.
Similarly, Japan did not declare war on China because of considerations.
One of the little devils does not want to be restricted by international law during the war, and the other also wants to continue to import military needs from other countries during the war.
As for Kong Jie and other Eighth Route Army generals.
No one is too lazy to argue about the rights and wrongs of the past.
We are living in the present, with the hatred of being humiliated by the Japanese invaders in the past. Today, after the Nationalist Government officially declared war on Japan, it has settled a regret in our hearts.
"Great, these sons of bitches, we can finally fight the little devils with open swords and guns!"
After political commissar Li Wenjie finished reading the contents of the Nationalist Government’s declaration of war against Japan.
Wang Leihu, leader of the Second Regiment, couldn't help but punched the conference table and blurted out.
The other generals were all filled with righteous indignation, their eyes bursting with unprecedented fighting spirit.
The generals expressed their determination to fight against Japan.
It is conceivable that after this matter is publicized in a team, the morale of the entire team will be greatly boosted.
Kong Jie finally made the final decision: "Comrades, everyone said it was good, and I felt the fighting spirit almost bursting out from everyone's chests.
We are preparing for the winter counterattack these days. Then the international situation changed dramatically. Even the weak Nationalist Government officially declared war on Japan!
What does this mean?
This shows that our team's winter counterattack this time is in line with the trend of the weather, and even God is helping us!
Now that the Nationalist Government has officially declared war on Japan, our Eighth Route Army troops should naturally show something. This winter counterattack is the report card we submit to the entire Chinese military and civilians.
Therefore, I hope everyone can understand the importance of this winter counteroffensive."
Then, Kong Jie, who didn’t talk nonsense at all, went straight to the real stuff.
"Let me talk about the operational content of this winter counterattack. First, it will be a three-stage operation planned by our staff department. After you, the regimental commander and political commissar, return, you will deploy the combat troops in the regiment.
As for goals:
One is to uproot strongholds, destroy the Japanese fortifications, and rob the Japanese warehouses.
The second one is to destroy the bridges, roads, and railways of the Japanese army, completely paralyzing the Japanese traffic lines.
The third is to seize all kinds of supplies from the Japs, including trucks, factories, railroad tracks, wires, and even trains, cannons, and airplanes. In short, as long as we can use them, we will seize whatever we can, no matter how big or small. p>
The fourth is to eliminate rape, rescue prisoners of war, and attack Japanese field hospitals.
The fifth is to secretly transfer to the artillery unit, sneak attack on the Japanese transport truck parking base, and destroy a large number of Japanese transport equipment.
Sixth, I will not slack off for a moment in the training of the commandos, including the pilots in our regiment, in mapping the entire Sanjin area and the coordinates of important Japanese airports.
Everyone must be ready to accept combat orders from the headquarters at any time, to conduct a sneak attack on the Japanese airport, or even to capture a few Japanese fighter jets and bring them back to me!"
Changing the topic, Kong Jie continued: "In addition, in order to encourage the combat enthusiasm of each regiment, each battalion, and each company, the political commissar and the chief of staff and I formulated a combat reward plan for this winter counterattack.
Any team or even individual that makes a significant contribution or performs well in this battle will receive generous rewards from our detachment headquarters."
Seeing the wide-eyed expressions of the generals at the meeting, Kong Jie smiled and said:
"I know everyone is going to ask next, what reward?
Let me tell you, everything you want is available.
If any of you is particularly outstanding and wants a wife, I, as the group leader, will also give you ideas!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals burst into laughter.
After the laughter, I calmed down and felt the great determination of the old regiment leader Kong Jie to defeat the Japanese invaders in this winter counterattack!
