849 Commander Kong’s Pig Raising Plan—Baiyang Town
If it weren’t for Kong Jie’s butterfly effect.
According to the original trajectory of history, during the May Day raids launched by the Japanese army, which was a surprise attack, the Jizhong Military Region suffered unprecedented destruction. Most of the base area of the entire military region was lost, and the military construction foundation also suffered heavy losses.
The reason is besides the cunningness of the Japanese army itself.
In fact, there are also factors that caused the Jizhong Military Region troops to make mistakes in their combat policies in response to the Japanese army.
For example, Lu Dayou and other commanders of the 28th Regiment, because of the outbreak of the Pacific War and the participation of the United States in the war, they were too blindly optimistic in judging the form of operations in the base areas against Japan, as well as the Japanese army's attitude towards operations in the base areas.
So on the phone, Kong Jie's attitude was very determined.
He just wanted to use the sharpest and most profound words to sound the alarm to Lu Dayou.
Under the butterfly effect, he naturally does not want to see the tragedy happen again.
As time goes by...
Coupled with the recent sudden changes in the international war situation, the Pearl Harbor incident broke out, the Pacific War began, the United States declared war on Japan, and then the Nationalist Government also declared war on Japan.
In the entire North China region, the relationship between the Japanese army, the puppet army, the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army is quite delicate.
Analyze from the attitude of the Japanese army towards all parties:
Needless to say, the Japanese army is absolutely hostile to the Eighth Route Army, which has never changed.
To the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army troops behind enemy lines were like a sharp blade hanging over their heads that might fall at any time.
Beside the couch, someone else was sleeping soundly. The little devil had trouble sleeping and eating.
After the National Army officially declared war on the Japanese Army, the Japanese Army's attitude towards the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army was a bit subtle.
The two sides have not declared war before.
At least everyone is doing well on the surface, whether it's ogling openly or engaging in smuggling secretly, at least there is still a fig leaf.
The confusion will be over.
Now, the fig leaf has been completely torn off.
It’s a mule or a horse, you can tell without running away!
As for the national army, the Japanese army adopted a tentative attitude, approaching little by little to see how resolute the national government was in fighting after it declared war on the Japanese Empire.
Do you really mean it, or are you just clamoring after the US?
Of course, the Japanese army is always ready to teach the Chinese army a harsh lesson militarily, letting the latter know that even if they declare war, you will still be the same defeated general who was defeated again and again!
As for the Japanese army's attitude toward appeasement of Jin, it still focused on stability.
Captain Yan Wei, who is still in a quiet corner to the west of the Yellow River, has always been proficient in survival.
Regardless of declaring war or not, as long as you Japanese remain the same as before, we will not offend each other, continue to grow in obscenely, and you can also bring us some benefits, or money, or weapons.
Then Captain Yan Wei still pays great attention to integrity.
People continue to develop their own three-acre land.
There is a sense of the flowing Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army and the Chinese army, and the iron-clad Jinsui Army.
You fight your own, no matter how you fight, this war will end sooner or later.
I, Mr. Yan, will continue to grasp the development of our three-thirds of an acre of land. Wouldn’t it be great to be my own local emperor?
This is indeed the case. From the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the end of the Anti-Japanese War, despite the monstrous floods, many people in the area under the jurisdiction of the Jin Sui Army could probably sing a few songs across the Yellow River.
——This is called singing the flowers in the backyard across the river!
So in the end, what did the Japanese discover?
To sum it up with the words of Beichuan, Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army: "The Nationalist Government's declaration of war against Japan is just a superficial statement. It was the same as it was before, and it is still the same now.
And I have long discovered a pattern, as long as we focus our military on attacking the Eighth Route Army around the occupied areas.
Not only would those national army troops not come to cause trouble, they would even watch obediently from the sidelines, as if they were just waiting to applaud.
General, speaking of it, this has reduced many hidden dangers when our army carried out a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army."
Such words.
How sad it is to have dead lips and cold teeth!
……
A team's base area.
Under the leadership of the leadership team headed by Kong Jie, the cadres of the entire team clearly understood the essence of the Nationalist Government's declaration of war against Japan a few weeks ago.
So no one would be naive enough to think that the following days would be easy.
Everyone also came to the conclusion that the success of the revolution still depends on the Eighth Route Army itself.
A team of cadres who are actively working towards this goal are busy making preparations in the past few days.
Preparing for the most important event at the moment for the entire team - the winter counterattack!
Inside the detachment headquarters.
The command team, Kong Jie, Xu Guoan, and Li Wenjie, who are taking command, strategizing, and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, are sitting on the military simulation sand table, analyzing the secret progress of this winter counterattack after these months of preparations.
According to the first phase of the winter counterattack planned by Kong Jie:
It is based on military operations, supplemented by political offensives, and mainly targets the more remote towns, villages, etc. around the Japanese-occupied areas as offensive targets.
Further expand the area of a team's guerrilla area and weaken the strength of the Japanese army.
After nearly two weeks of preparations, a lot of secret preparation work has been carried out for this first phase of the operation.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan pointed out the remote towns and villages surrounding Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County on the sand table with his hands.
He summarized the report: "Lao Kong, this secret infiltration and extension of the political offensive went quite smoothly.
With the armed cooperation of our comrades in the Armed Work Team behind enemy lines, after the plan to create a two-sided regime was launched, our soldiers attacked decisively, tried to infiltrate from the outside, and gradually controlled the Japanese and puppet regimes around Shouyang, Neixiang and other places.
Under coercion and inducement, the hard-core traitors directly eradicated them through anti-rape operations, while the remaining traitors who were not firm-willed were instigated to rebel and kept a red and black account to use as threats and supervision at any time."
Xu Guoan smiled and said: "After the operation started, those traitors were very sensible. They were greedy for life and afraid of death. They also understood that after China and Japan declared war, the Japanese army would be defeated sooner or later.
With a little instigation of rebellion, our secretly operating soldiers succeeded in winning over the Japanese puppet regime.
In addition, the right wing's attempts to infiltrate from the more remote Guanping Town and Yatu Town in Tan County were equally successful.
The work of infiltration from the left and right wings to create a two-sided regime has reached the Yangquan territory in the middle line.
If this trend continues, our plan for this political offensive will be completed in a few days."
Kong Jie warned: "Remember not to be careless. Those puppet soldiers and traitors have always been on the wall, and they are the most uncertain. Maybe they were instigated by us in the first place, but they will fall to the little devils again later.
This time our political offensive goes first and we build a two-sided regime in advance.
The most important role is, on the one hand, to stabilize the Japanese and puppet security forces through the superficial two-faced regime, and also to protect the people in various towns and villages.
On the other hand, the first phase of the winter counterattack we launched this time is to target remote towns such as Neixiang, Qingye Town, and Sanquan Township.
Although these places are far away from the Japanese army's control center, they are not close to the base area of our first team.
After the counterattack began, if our army wanted to quietly capture these remote villages and towns before the Japanese were caught off guard, it would need to transfer troops in advance, march in concealment, or even completely isolate the Japanese from detection.
Then we need the cooperation of these two-faced regimes to provide cover for our army.
If there is a slight mistake in this, if a traitor appears and leaks the information, it is no joke. We may even fall into the trap set by the Japanese in advance."
Realizing the weight of these words, Xu Guoan nodded: "Okay, Lao Kong, don't worry, I will strictly control the quality!"
Kong Jie nodded, and he felt relieved that Lao Xu was doing things.
After this topic ended, Kong Jie turned his attention back to the simulation sand table.
He drew a circle with his index finger somewhere near Yangquan, the county seat where the Japanese army was centered.
On the sand table, there is a place marked with the words "Baiyang Town" on a wooden sign.
Political Commissar Li Wenjie said: "Captain, among the three Japanese-occupied counties encircled by our winter counterattack, Yangquan is the economic and military center of the three counties.
Baiyang Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Yangquan, is the most prosperous place besides the center of Yangquan County.
The soil in that place is fertile and fertile fields are dense. Stimulated by the agricultural foundation, the market economy is also developing well.
There is just one thing - it is relatively remote, otherwise it would have been regarded as an important economic and military development area by the Japanese army."
Kong Jie said: "Yes, what a great place!"
Li Wenjie smiled and said: "If this winter counterattack goes well, this good place will belong to us."
"No!"
Kong Jie shook his head, "Good things are often not easy to get. Although Baiyang Town is good, it is a hot potato."
"Lao Kong, what do you mean, should we fight Baiyang Town?" Xu Guoan couldn't help but ask.
Kong Jie's smile suddenly brightened, and this brightness made Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie's eyes twitch when they saw it.
He thought: Here he comes, here he comes, what is Lao Kong planning again!
As expected.
Captain Kong said slowly: "Fight! Of course we have to fight!
Such a prosperous town is simply a natural granary. If we don’t fight, wouldn’t it be that the little devil is in vain?”
"It's just this! We can't do it, we have to let others do it!"
Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie immediately showed their true expressions.
The two looked curious - who will be the next contestant to be cheated?
Kong Jie finally said: "The national army that has had the best relationship with our team in recent years is none other than the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Commander Yang is a good man. Even Chu Yunfei is far behind in this regard.<
/p>
Coupled with the friendly business exchanges between our two groups over the years.
When the Japanese were carrying out a large-scale sweep, Captain Yang came to the rescue and sent us a large batch of ammunition in advance.
Tell me, apart from Commander Yang, which other commander of the Jinsui Army can do this kind of thing?"
Xu Guoan: "..."
Li Wenjie: "..."
The two of them were speechless for a while, and they really couldn't tell whether Kong Jie's words were a compliment or a sarcasm.
"It's just, Lao Kong, that the Jinsui Army has always been pursuing the strategy of keeping a close relationship with the little devils. The movement to attack Baiyang Town is not small. The leader of the 57th Regiment, Yang Chongshan, is a greedy guy. When it comes to courage,
, I’m afraid not much?”
Xu Guoan said hesitantly.
Kong Jie smiled, "As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. There must be brave men under heavy money. How brave Yang Chongshan can be depends on how much temptation we can come up with."
"Over the years, thanks to some business cooperation with us, the 57th Regiment has developed into a strong force. As the leader of the regiment, Yang Chongshan even received many awards from the World War II District Chief's Department, which almost took away Chu Yunfei's limelight.
It’s beyond comparison.”
"Conquering Baiyang Town will, firstly, gain a large amount of fertile farmland; secondly, for Yang Chongshan, this political capital will be sufficient."
"At the beginning of the year, Chu Yunfei risked the disapproval of the world and captured two Japanese towns. At that time, he also broke the practice of the Jinsui Army and the Japanese army not being in conflict with each other."
"What was the result?
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the Japanese did not give a shit, but in order to stabilize the external anti-Japanese image, Chief Yan also emphatically commended Chu Yunfei..."
At this time, Kong Jie smiled like an old fox who could see through people's hearts:
"Do you think this matter has not taken root in Yang Chongshan's heart?
Now with the development of the 57th Regiment, Lao Yang, who has been able to compete with Chu Yunfei, has to say, why can Chu Yunfei do it but we can't?
In addition, during the 57th Regiment's attack on Baiyang Town, our Eighth Route Army, as a friendly force, should vigorously support the 57th Regiment in its operations!
I don’t believe it. How can Yang Zhongshan resist eating this big fat meat delivered to his door?”
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Guoan nodded: "That's true. If I were Yang Chongshan, I would probably choose to take action.
At present, the Nationalist Government has just declared war on Japan. If the Japanese army wants to put its military focus on our Eighth Route Army, it must first stabilize the Shanxi-Sui Army.
If the 57th regiment follows us at this time and takes the opportunity to capture Baiyang Town, the little devil will probably choose to swallow his anger in order to take care of the overall situation.
Then Yang Chongshan got a prosperous Baiyang Town for nothing."
The conversation changed...
"It's just that, Lao Kong, I feel a little reluctant to give such a prosperous Baiyang Town to Yang Chongshan for nothing."
Kong Jie said: "Old Xu, you are confused now, aren't you?
Let me ask you, if Baiyang Town is captured by one of our teams, as a rare granary, what will the Japanese do next?"
Xu Guoan said: "We will definitely send troops to attack Baiyang Town and recapture the town."
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Isn't that right? I've said before that Baiyang Town is a hot potato and we can't hold it safely.
In order to obtain those fertile fields and cause unnecessary casualties to the troops, is it worth the loss?
But if Baiyang Town is in the hands of the Jinsui Army, what will the Japanese army do?
Will they take the initiative to start a war, launch a massive attack on Baiyang Town, and take the risk to test the attitude of the Shanxi-Sui Army towards Japan at this juncture of dealing with our Eighth Route Army?"
"This is indeed unlikely. The Japanese army may have lost Baiyang Town to the 57th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army in vain." Xu Guoan said.
Kong Jie said: "So, if it's too hot for us to hold this hot potato, we might as well let someone else hold it for us first.
In addition, Baiyang Town is in the hands of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and Yang Chongshan has food in his hands. This guy is greedy for money. He likes money, and we just have money.
I have said before that the tickets themselves have no value. If we can easily exchange all the food in Baiyang Town for our team.
Why should we use force and let the soldiers shed blood and die?"
At the end, Captain Kong's words were very arrogant, "We are not short of money anyway!"
"Taking a step back, Aries Town is surrounded by us all the time. If there is a falling out one day, we are in a good mood and Yang Chongshan will continue to eat the fat meat of Aries Town. If we are not in a good mood,
Okay, I can snatch it from him at any time, and even take care of it with the 57th Regiment!
In other words, these 57 regiments are the fat pigs we raise in Baiyang Town.
We can eat whenever we want! This is called pig-raising tactics.
In addition, this time the 57th Regiment attacked Baiyang Town.
The next time the Japanese launch a major raid, we will divert the trouble eastward and lead Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment to raid the Japanese troops entering the defense zone.
With the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army attacking Baiyang Town as a foreshadowing, wouldn’t it be very reasonable?"
After hearing this, Xu Guoan suddenly realized.
Well, this old Kong is really good at calculating, otherwise he would be the captain of the detachment!
Then there was a sigh: Yang Chongshan is probably going to be unlucky. He is sold by Lao Kong, and he is probably still helping Lao Kong count his money!
