The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Ding Wei took over the conversation: "The bait is indeed enough. Next, we have to determine where the specific fighting point is to be placed. Around the middle area from Datong to Zhangjiakou, where is the terrain that is beneficial to our army."

Kong Jie walked in twos and twos to the huge military map hanging on the wall of the staff headquarters.

As he pointed with his baton, he immediately circled several county towns on the huge military map with a sense of time, from Datong in the southwest corner to Zhangjiakou in the northeast, in the middle of the line connecting these two counties. In the area, Yanggao, Tianzhen, Chaigoubao, Yangyuan, Yuxian and other places immediately emerged.

In the end, Kong Jie put the baton on Yangyuan completely, and the words that followed were categorical: "Yangyuan has a unique terrain and is located in an area where various counties converge. I want to build a place for the [-]th Division of the Kwantung Army right here. The burial place is most appropriate.”

These words were domineering.

Once upon a time, on the battlefield of Cangyunling, the Japanese army's so-called elite Bantian Regiment, with only 5000 people, forced the main force of the Eighth Route Army to avoid direct confrontation with it, and even had to move the field hospital and headquarters in advance under the joint cover of various troops. .

The span from the Japanese's mere Bantian Regiment to the 14th Division of the Japanese elite Kwantung Army is more than one or two levels.

The Japanese division-level elite field troops, a few years ago, would have been enough to march across the entire Eighth Route Army base area.

As for Chiang Kai-shek's troops, a conventional division often requires 3 to 5 divisions to deal with the Japanese.

And it must be the main division of the Central Army.

If it is an elite force like the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army, then there is no telling how many troops are needed to barely cope. It is possible that ten or eight divisions will have to be included in it.

But now, Kong Jie already has such strength and courage. With only the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Special Experimental Military Region and the main force of the former Iron Triangle Field Army, he dared to fight head-on with the [-]th Division of the elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese army.

After the appointment of the headquarters, the team was further strengthened.

Including Ding Wei's new group and Li Yunlong's new second group, they have also been further strengthened.

At the same time, the relationship between the three armies became even more inseparable, forming an indivisible whole and continuing to defend the entire base area with the original stable triangular defense system.

Before the establishment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Special Experimental Zone, Ding Wei's main force of the New Regiment had completed its initial expansion and transformation, and was expanded into the New Regiment Base Field Cluster, which included artillery units, mobile field armies, straight-line combat units, and railway units. Triangular Helmet Field Army and so on.

The combined strength of elites from all walks of life is nearly [-].

Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment has also completed its expansion and expanded into the New Second Regiment Base Area Field Cluster, which includes the Iron Triangle Helmet Field Army, armored units, artillery units, etc. The number of elite troops has even exceeded [-].

As for the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment of Northwestern Shanxi led by Kong Jie, after further expansion, it has five or six regiments under its jurisdiction.

The strength of each regiment, taken individually, is the 358th regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, which was once strong.

The troop strength is definitely not less than that of Chu Yunfei's reinforced regiment. As for the equipment level and combat effectiveness, there is nothing to say. Chu Yunfei will be very frightened when he comes.

In this way, after the establishment of the special experimental zone, the various elite troops under Kong Jie's command combined together were more than double the Kwantung Army's 14th Division, which had nearly [-] troops after all the Japanese were fully staffed.

When he learned this specific data for the first time, not to mention other people, even Kong Jie himself was shocked.

Some time ago, due to the difficult revolutionary situation, the Eighth Route Army began to advocate the idea of ​​better troops and simpler administration. It is believed that Kong Jie was the first to propose this idea.

One team naturally set an example.

But who would have thought that over the past two years, despite the promise of better troops and simpler administration, the size of the army has grown, and the number of elite main forces has also increased.

Of course, the effect was also as expected.

Refining troops and streamlining administration is to reduce the burden on base areas and unite troops to make them more effective.

This indeed seemed to be the most appropriate policy under the circumstances at the time.

At that time, the economic conditions in the base areas were very poor, the military resources reserved by the army were scarce, and there was a severe drought in many provinces. The Kuomintang-controlled areas and the Japanese army continued to drive a large number of victims towards the Eighth Route Army base areas.

Under the guidance of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, all officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are ready to tighten their belts and tide over the difficulties with the people.

As a result, it took less than a few months for the major base areas of the Eighth Route Army to refine their troops and streamline their administration.

Under the guidance of Kong Jie's special proposal at the headquarters meeting, to receive disaster victims and drive the development of the base area with demographic dividends.

After the short-term difficulties, various base areas quickly emerged.

In particular, the originally relatively sparse population in the base area immediately enriched its labor force after receiving a large number of disaster victims.

There is also a team of the Ministry of Agriculture that specially provides a large number of high-quality grain seeds with extremely high yields per mu, such as high-yielding potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The agricultural industry volume in various base areas has increased dramatically.

With this being the most fundamental way to ensure that all soldiers and civilians have enough food to fill their stomachs, the resource shortage problem that restricts the development of the army will naturally be solved.

There is enough food to eat, the soldiers are well fed, and have enough strength to train. Naturally, there is no need to engage in elite troops and simple administration.

Just like that, although the commanders of the various units of the Eighth Route Army also consciously reduced the size and number of the troops, the number of troops was still reduced due to the enthusiastic participation of young people from the base area who had full stomachs, appreciated the efforts of the Eighth Route Army, and responded positively. Rising slowly.

For this reason, Kong Jie, who was in charge of the headquarters, specially called Li Wenjie and Xu Guoan to come up with a response strategy after discussion:

"The recruitment of new recruits to the army must establish corresponding strict assessments, and most of the indicators must be selected from local military units and militia units."

In other words, if we want to recruit, we must recruit elite soldiers.

This move also mobilized the enthusiasm of local army and militia troops for training, and also solved the problem of rapid expansion of the number of troops to a certain extent.

But even so, in a short period of time, the strength of Kong Jie's elite troops increased several times.

In Zhao Gang's joking words: "This time, the [-]th Division of the Kwantung Army is unlucky and has kicked our iron plate."

Two days later.

Kong Jie and others at the headquarters also received news that the aviation unit had made great achievements in the past few days, and the marching column with concentrated forces that they unexpectedly encountered in the wild was the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army.

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff who brought back the news, laughed and said: "The commander of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army is called Inoue, with the rank of lieutenant general. It seems that this old devil is unlucky. He happened to break in in a daze when he was heading south from the Northeast. The battlefield where we clashed with the North China Front Army.

Inoue, this old devil, probably hasn't experienced the power of our Eighth Route Army's aviation force yet, so he arrogantly placed a dense military column in the wild, and our reconnaissance plane just happened to hit it.

The other equipment of this Kwantung Army is extremely sophisticated, except for the small number of anti-aircraft weapons. In addition, the military ranks are densely packed. After our repeated bombings, the casualties were extremely heavy. According to our subsequent statistics, that air raid was at least Two to three thousand imps were killed. "

Ding Wei suddenly realized: "Now the truth came to light. I asked why the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army has been clamoring for a decisive battle with our Iron Triangle Force these days, and even threw the challenge letter to our base area.

Emotions already have hatred!
What a pity. If we had known that that unit was the [-]th Division of the Kwantung Army, we would have continued to pursue him and wiped them out in one go! "

Xu Guoan smiled and then brought another piece of news:
"The old Japanese soldier Tu Feiyuan, the head of the Japanese secret service, specially asked the puppet troops to bring us news. He said that he wanted to return to the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who died near Datong and Zhangjiakou and did not have time to take them away."

Kong Jie expressed some surprise at this, "Interesting, I was originally thinking that the one who came out to ask for the body should be Yoshio Iwamatsu or Naosaburo Okabe!"

"Lao Kong, why don't we return it?" "Repay it, of course! And we have to publicize it with great fanfare. Our Eighth Route Army returned it for free out of humanitarianism.

Of course, although it was returned free of charge, it cost us a lot of money to help place and transport the corpses. We in the Eighth Route Army are already poor, and we are not as rich as the Japs. The little Japs can afford this money. "

Xu Guoan thought deeply and said: "That's the truth, Lao Kong, then how much do you think a Japanese should pay?"

"200 oceans, no more!" Kong Jie said.

Xu Guoan: "..."

"The kid definitely can't agree. Their soldiers' pension is not even 1/20 of this!"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Then it depends on how we promote it. Besides, we are asking for a high price, and even the little devil can bargain!"

Ding Wei and Li Yunlong on the side gave a thumbs up in admiration.

As expected of the God of Wealth, this is called making money in the right way!

After chatting and joking for a while, the old comrades returned to the topic. With intelligence from all parties, they also decided to severely damage or even completely annihilate the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army in the Yangyuan area.

Kong Jie proposed that he, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong represent all parties and conduct a military deduction.

Li Yunlong, who felt like a cat scratching his head after not fighting for three days, immediately agreed.

Lao Li is a straight-tempered person who hates little devils. Even during military exercises, he is unwilling to play the Japanese side. He said carelessly: "I represent the Eighth Route Army in defense. Lao Kong and Lao Ding will find it difficult for you two to play the role." The Japanese army attacks!"

Ding Weile said: "Lao Li, you are not afraid of being blown away. Why, you just want to hit me and Lao Kong?"

"Hey, even if you two are tied together, I'm really not afraid of you. Just come here!" Li Yunlong, who has always been fearless, does not have the word "flinch" in his dictionary.

Kong Jie smiled and said, "It's okay. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger. If Lao Ding and I, with our limited understanding of the Japanese army, can even defeat him, Lao Li, without the ability to fight back."

I think our battle plan to deal with the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army again this time will have to be considered more deeply. "

"Hmph, Lao Kong, don't brag, our Lao Li is not a vegetarian either!"

The two sides immediately started fighting, each representing China and Japan, using the military simulation sand table in front of them to start the deduction.

As for Zhao Gang, Li Wenjie, Xu Guoan, and political commissar Cui, they were watching the excitement from the sidelines.

Everyone was full of expectations and wanted to see who would have the final upper hand among Lao Kong, Lao Ding, and Lao Li.

After the deduction began, Li Yunlong was indeed unambiguous.

The defensive model he decided to adopt was exactly the tactics proposed by Kong Jie: dispersed air fleets, using wheel battles to deal with various Japanese air fleets.

In this regard, Lao Li thought he was sure of victory: "Hey, let's fight like this, adapting to the ever-changing situation by staying the same. Even if your little devil's flying force is stronger than my Eighth Route Army's aviation force, you can't even think of taking advantage of it.

As for my base area, I have already developed a human sea tactic, and there are traps everywhere. Once your Japanese fighter jet is damaged and the pilot is forced to land, he will become a prisoner of our Eighth Route Army.

I want to see how many pilots your little devil can deliver. "

Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other, then smiled and said: "Okay, Lao Li, if you want to fight like this, as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, I really don't have a way to deal with it.

Then admit it!

Let your Eighth Route Army have air superiority for a few days!

At worst, I will further shrink the troops to some counties, towns, and towns, and in particular strengthen the air defense forces at various military locations and aviation bases. "

"You stopped fighting?"

Li Yunlong choked and felt a little depressed for a moment. He had also thought of a series of means to destroy the Japanese flying troops!

Ding Wei said: "Why fight? The little devil is not a fool!

Especially under the continuous setbacks in the past two years, the Japs have long lost the vigor they once had. When it is time to cower, the Japs are still unambiguous.

Lao Li, don't you think that the Japanese army will blindly use flying troops just for the sake of a fight of emotions?
If I were that old devil Okabe, I would not fight. After the airport defense system in the core security area is complete, I will use the Central China and Kwantung Army aviation units reinforced from afar as bait to attract your Eighth Route Army aviation unit to attack. Waiting for both sides When the fight is almost over, send the North China Air Force to sneak attack the various airports scattered on the return flight, destroying the aviation power of your Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. "

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Old Li, Old Ding has almost used up the few air forces of your Eighth Route Army.

If you continue to fight like this, I, the commander of the aviation force, will probably become a mere commander! "

"The bastard old man is so cunning!" Li Yunlong cursed and said: "The devils are targeting our Eighth Route Army airports and trying to destroy our Eighth Route Army's aviation force. How can it be so easy? Our airports have already had complete air defense systems. "

"Passive defense has never been our style, Lao Li. If you kid can blow up my airport, why can't I blow up your kid's airport?"

Li Yunlong then said that he would send heavy bombers to bomb the Japanese airport. "In addition, our Eighth Route Army airport is hidden, and there are fake airports built in various places, all disguised. It's not that easy for you little devil to find the specific location of the airport, right?"

Kong Jie made a move: "There have been specially camouflaged airports and fake planes, waiting for your Eighth Route Army to come for sneak attacks and bombings. After the bombing is over, I will send new moonlight night fighters to take off from a hidden backup runway, and then use the radar introduced by Germany." Mounted on a Type [-] land attack, it cooperates with night fighter operations and guides night fighters to attack the Eighth Route Army bomber units.

Maybe there will be new fighter jets to fight.

Once it follows you to the sky above your Eighth Route Army airport, it will be enough to completely destroy your Eighth Route Army aviation base in a very short period of time! "

As soon as these words came out, Lao Li was so angry that he questioned on the spot:

"I'm Lao Kong. It's hard to say whether this little devil is as cunning as you and even used a fake airport.

Let’s just say that although the Japanese have a lot of planes, it’s not a bottomless pit. You can have as many as you want, right?

In recent years, the Japs have lost a lot of fighter planes in the hands of our Eighth Route Army, especially pilots. We have captured several batches of them.

Where did you get so many pilots and aviation teams? "

Kong Jie asked: "Will the Jiang army and the Soviet army fight the Japanese in winter?"

Li Yunlong shook his head. It would be good if the little devil didn't take the initiative to beat them.

Kong Jie said: "So, isn't it very reasonable for the Japanese army to mobilize pilots, accessories, and supplies from Taiwan, North Korea, Northeast China, and South China to fight a war of attrition against the Eighth Route Army?"

"This……"

Lao Li choked again.
