The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1196 Kong Jie’s Total War Thoughts
..."Lao Kong, Lao Li, let's go. It's getting late now. Let's discuss this for now. I heard that the cooking class will have extra meals today, so we're in for a treat!"

Ding Wei said with a smile when he came out of the courtyard of the headquarters.

The related discussion meeting lasted all morning, and several people's stomachs were growling with hunger.

Kong Jie politely declined Ding Wei's invitation: "Well, Lao Ding, you and Lao Li can go ahead. My family will probably have cooked by now and are waiting for me to go back for dinner! It's not easy for people to have a full stomach. , as men we are taking time out, we should go back and spend more time with you!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yes, yes, Old Ding, I won't go with you either. My wife must have cooked food at home by now, even the bowls and chopsticks." The food has been laid out for us, Lao Li, and it’s still steaming. Wouldn’t it be outrageous if I didn’t go back to eat?”

"Hey, let's talk about it, Lao Kong, let's work together!"

"Hey, this feeling is great!"

With that said, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, two good friends, walked towards home with their arms around each other.

It just so happens that home is still in the same direction.

According to Li Yunlong's wishes, he was afraid that his wife Xiuqin would be bored at home and have no one to talk to, so he decided to live in a courtyard near Kong Jie's house. It happened that Xiuqin could still walk around with Shen Wenyue when she was fine.

Ding Wei: "..."

Just like this, watching Kong Jie and Li Yunlong gradually walk away, they never looked back from the beginning to the end.

Lao Ding was temporarily confused in the wind.

He cursed a few times, pouted a few more times, and said to himself: "You two have to play the game!"

The helpless Lao Ding could only rush towards the cooking class alone.

Just walking halfway, he suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh suddenly, and blurted out: "Oh no, look at my memory. Didn't Lao Kong say he wanted to introduce me to a girl? Why did he forget to ask?" ?”

Hey, it smells so good!
……

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, who were walking side by side, were chatting and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of their respective courtyards.

Looking up, I saw a figure standing at the door of Lao Li's house. If I took a closer look, who could it be if it wasn't Xiu Qin who was eagerly waiting for her husband's return?
"Old Li, you are really lucky to have found such a good wife!"

Kong Jie said with a smile, and there was some emotion in his words. He finally made up for his regret, and he could still see the sweet love between Li Yunlong and Xiu Qin from time to time.

Li Yunlong on the side had already had a happy smile on his face, but when he reached it, he still pretended to say: "Don't mention it, this Xiu Qin is stubborn. I have told him so many times, there is no need to stop at the door. Wait, we are going to work at the headquarters, not on the battlefield. We will not come back here.

But they just didn’t listen and even said, I’m just willing to wait for my man!
Listen, this is really annoying me, Lao Li! "

"Ah! Old Li, stop giving me dog food here!" Kong Jie retorted, then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Old Li, your big cheerful tail is almost broken. , don’t delay, hurry up and reunite with your wife!”

Hahaha--

Li Yunlong laughed and invited again: "Lao Kong, why don't we go have something to eat together?"

"No, no, no, no. I don't want to be a light bulb. You and Xiu Qin are in love, and I'm standing next to you. What's going on? Besides, it's not like we don't have wives!"

The two of them went home separately while talking and laughing.

When Lao Li came up to greet him, he deliberately winked in the direction of Kong Jie, and then entered the courtyard gate with his wife Xiu Qin.

"This Lao Li!"

Kong Jie shook his head with a smile and entered the courtyard gate of his house.

The tangy aroma came from the direction of the kitchen. Kong Jie rushed to the kitchen and took a look. Shen Wenyue was still busy!
Kong Jie, who was still giving guidance at the headquarters just now, immediately transformed into a housework expert, helping to choose vegetables, sweep the floor, scrub, and was busy back and forth.

"Ahem, I didn't tell you. Once you get pregnant, you will easily have morning sickness and you won't be able to smell the fumes. Either wait for me to come back to cook, or we can just come back from the cooking class with some food. It's convenient to eat!" The words were full of heartache.

Shen Wenyue smiled and said: "I'm just pregnant, how can I be so pampered? It just so happens that I have a lot of free time in the past two days, so I will make some at home and you can eat it."

Kong Jie said: "Is the Propaganda Department still very busy? I see you have been busy the past few days!"

Several dishes were already placed on the table, and Shen Wenyue came over with two more bowls of rice and replied: "Yeah, it's quite busy, especially after every battle, we must give full play to the impact of victory in all aspects. , there will be a lot more publicity work to be done.”

"Is it possible? Your situation is special. It's not a big deal if you are missing, right? Just come back and have a rest!" Kong Jie still expressed concern.

"Comrade Lao Kong, if you say that, I will be angry. What do you mean, one person without me is more? The work I am responsible for in the Propaganda Department is still very important!" Hearing what Kong Jie said, Shen Wenyue pretended to be unhappy.

Kong Jie said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I apologize, I made a mistake.

So, Comrade Xiao Shen, since your work is so important and those who are able work harder, why not help me with some publicity? "

Shen Wenyue said: "Okay, what kind of publicity?"

Kong Jie thought for a while and said: "In this way, your Propaganda Department will publish a few more issues of the newspaper. On the one hand, it will exaggerate our Eighth Route Army base area in advance and prepare to have a good time during this year's Spring Festival.

In addition, I just published a few articles to let out the news that our Eighth Route Army has decided to reorganize its troops this winter, celebrate the Spring Festival well, and there will be no more external military operations.

The more detailed the information, the better, including the actions and construction of our Iron Triangle Group Army in various base areas, as well as the reduction of troop strength, publicize it to him as much as possible..."

"Lao Kong, there is another military action. Are you planning to launch another military attack during the winter?" Shen Wenyue couldn't wait to interrupt, with a bright look in his eyes.

Hahaha--

Kong Jile said: "Didn't I ask you to help publicize that our troops are resting and preparing to welcome the New Year, and there will be no military operations? Why do you think we are launching a military attack in winter?"

Shen Wenyue said: "Young Master, isn't this the formation you use to spread suspicion in the military? This has happened many times before. Every time we were resting for publicity, we suddenly launched an attack, and the Japanese troops we fought were Caught off guard.”

Hearing this, Kong Jie became even happier: "Wenyue, do you really think so?"

"Yes, isn't this a very reasonable inference?" "Haha, that's right. In fact, this is the effect I want to see when I ask your propaganda department to help with this publicity."

"???"

"The so-called war is never tired of deceit. It is precisely because of this trick that we have used it many times. So when we release the news that our troops are being renovated and will not conduct military operations, what would you think if you were a Japanese army?
It would definitely seem that the Eighth Route Army was trying to hide the enemy's secrets and plan a winter offensive.

Especially in the battles surrounding Datong and Zhangjiakou not long ago, the tragic defeat of the little Japanese is probably still clear!
Under such circumstances, no matter whether the little devil believes it or not, they dare not take the gamble, and they can only find ways to strengthen the defense and deploy troops to strengthen the defense in order to cope with the offensive that our Eighth Route Army may launch at any time this winter! "

"I understand!" Shen Wenyue suddenly said: "So you are doing the opposite. In fact, the troops are really preparing for repairs this winter, and there is no military action. You just want to use this method to knock the mountain and scare the little devils. Does the Japanese army have to be on tenterhooks even during the New Year?”

"Smart, she is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of our old Kong. She is like a female Zhuge in this world!" Kong Jie gave a thumbs up.

Shen Wenyue said angrily: "How am I smart? If I were smart, I wouldn't be fooled by you. If I were a Japanese soldier, I would definitely be fooled!"

……

……

Later, in the follow-up military discussion meeting on the development of the base area held at the headquarters, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, who were the main persons in charge of the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone, attended the meeting together.

During the meeting, Kong Jie proposed the strategic idea of ​​total war.

"In the past few years, our army has not developed. Our equipment is backward, ammunition is scarce, and especially we lack firepower for attacking critical areas. A few broken turrets made of masonry can surround us and we have no temper.

All we could do at that time was to survive in such a severe environment and persist in fighting against the little devils.

At that time, the main policies we adopted against the Japanese and Japanese-occupied areas were various harassment warfare, ambush warfare, and assault warfare based on guerrilla warfare.

However, due to backward equipment and lack of firepower, the Japanese army can often invest less troops, and with the help of control of the puppet troops, they can complete the solid defense of the occupied area.

A gendarmerie squadron that is not even full of strength can easily control a county town. To exaggerate, a squad of Japs, or even a few Japs, have occupied and controlled a county town. Every time I think of this, my stomach is full of fire.

We are aware of this situation, but what can we do?

Troops that lack guns and artillery are simply not capable of attacking tough targets. They can't fight the Japs empty-handed, right? "

Changing the subject, Kong Jie continued: "But the situation is different now.

We dare not say anything about Central China and East China, but at least in North China, the devil's control over the occupied areas is no longer as good as before.

Coupled with the growth of our troops and the development of equipment, it is no exaggeration to say that if the Japanese dare to control the county with a mere military police squadron, the county will be the fat in our mouths. We want to Just eat.

Just pull out an elite combat regiment, and you don't even need a regiment. You can easily kill the Japanese military police and capture the county seat.

Nowadays, even the Japanese security brigade, if I lend them courage, dare not say that they can completely control a county under the offensive of our Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area!
But I think that under such circumstances, our combat strategy against the Japanese should also change accordingly.

In the past, guerrilla warfare, ambush warfare, and harassment warfare were the mainstays. Nowadays, military confrontation and shock and deterrence can be the mainstay.

To put it simply, we no longer need to carry out time-consuming and laborious attacks. We often double the number of troops. We only need to use the method of knocking on the mountain to shock the tiger and scare the snake. In addition, the infiltration of puppet troops will prevent the Japanese army from relying on the strategy of using China to control China.

This little devil with a bow and a snake shadow must use at least twice, or even three or five times the number of troops to defend.

If the Japanese want to plunder resources, they must maintain a vast occupied area, which requires more defense pressure. As defense consumption increases, once it exceeds the income of the occupied area, it will in turn become a burden.

But once the Japanese give up these occupied areas and guard isolated strongholds, it will become a dilemma of pure consumption and no gain.

Under such circumstances, and as a small country, the Japanese army was fighting on multiple fronts, so there were inherent flaws in its military strength.

With only twice the number of troops, we can contain two or three times or even more Japanese troops. Sooner or later, this little devil will have insufficient troops for defense.

In this way, we can continue to destroy the Japanese-occupied areas while developing ourselves, turn the occupied areas from the Japanese supply base into a blood-sucking black hole, and finally defeat the Japanese in all directions, and then launch a series of final decisive battles.

How can this war of resistance be unwinnable? "

The resounding words made the generals participating in the meeting think thoughtfully, and then their eyes burst into various expressions of excitement.

"Comrade Kong Jie said it well, he really got to the point! What a general war strategic idea. This is just a word, and it can completely defeat the Japanese army at the minimum cost." The deputy chief of staff praised.

In fact, Kong Jie had deeper thoughts that he didn't say.

Continue with this general war strategic approach.

At least the little devils in North China will be firmly pinned to North China, completely unable to move, and they will even have to mobilize troops from the Northeast or East and South China to strengthen their defense.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to maintain security and stability in the inherently occupied areas under the offensive of elite troops dominated by the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army.

In this way, it can further pave the way for Kong Jie's subsequent plans.

As for East and South China, Kong Jie still has preparations.

Many commanders of the New Fourth Army were also present at the meeting this time, or were still staying in the Taihang area. Kong Jie had already had initial contact with these commanders and said during the contact talks.

A considerable amount of weapons and supplies must be provided to comrades in the New Fourth Army, including corresponding instructors, pilots, and various flight facilities.

What is the purpose?

“I hope to help our New Fourth Army comrades to open a temporary airport belonging to our New Fourth Army after establishing a solid stronghold behind enemy lines.

In this way, when ground transportation and contact are more difficult, our Eighth Route Army and our comrades in the New Fourth Army can support each other through air transportation, and subsequent reinforcements and equipment will be much more convenient. "

After Kong Jie expressed his intention, the New Fourth Army paid special attention to it, and the relevant leaders also stated that they would discuss it with Kong Jie in detail later.
