The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1197 Taking out the shrapnel
According to Kong Jie’s total war thinking.

Regarding how to specifically implement the development of the base area and the military construction of the troops, Kong Jie proposed:

“The so-called total war also relies on the entire force of our Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese army.

Definitely not relying on a certain person or a certain unit to achieve some brilliant results can defeat the Japanese.

Instead, they relied on a more advanced organizational system to defeat the Japanese system.

Only with the joint strength of our Eighth Route Army as a whole can we truly achieve the ultimate goal of defeating the Japanese invaders and returning our mountains and rivers.

This is a national war in a time of great strife. We cannot afford to lose, let alone lose. Therefore, we must use this more robust method to train ourselves while establishing absolute military confidence and national self-confidence. "

To put it simply:

"With the development of certain prominent units, we can quickly promote the development of surrounding friendly forces to achieve the overall effect of fighting the Japanese army."

Kong Jie has always adhered to this kind of thinking, and it was precisely because of his persistence in thinking that he wanted not only Kong Jie, but also the generals around Kong Jie, including Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and the then commanders Wang, Xu, and Cheng. Leader, wait.

Basically, they are all more or less influenced by Kong Jie.

So much so that Li Yunlong, who was such a tough guy back then, now has no secrets and has begun to vigorously help surrounding friendly forces.

When the matter was discussed at the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone Headquarters, Kong Jie even pointed out: "In the Taihang area in recent years, with the rapid growth and development of our iron triangle, it has subsequently driven the development of surrounding base areas and the deployment of troops. construction.

So far, from a large perspective, our old army 129th Division, including the 120th Division in northern Shanxi, and various troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, have been significantly strengthened, and the equipment level of the troops has even been has been particularly developed.

In contrast, our old 115th Division troops and the comrades of the New Fourth Army fighting the Japanese in the south received very little help.

This is also the target of our next plan to assist. "

In this regard, the commanders specially sent by the 115th Division who also came to participate in this headquarters meeting and visited and exchanged information in the Iron Triangle all had strong expectations.

The Independent Group has risen like a dark horse in recent years. The Iron Triangle has rapidly gained fame throughout the Taihang region, and has won one victory after another in North China.

Kong Jie has long been molded into an iron-blooded and wise general who is almost a household name and famous in North China.

I heard that the base areas and various military units that had military-industrial cooperation and business dealings with Kong Jie have now developed and grown to a considerable extent.

While firmly grasping the development of the base area he was responsible for, he also vigorously helped the construction of surrounding base areas and friendly forces. Kong Jie's reputation for being so down-to-earth and selfless had already spread far and wide.

“Comrade Lao Kong, we really don’t know how to express our gratitude!”

When discussing how to assist the base areas and troops of the 115th Division, the commanders of the 115th Division all burst into tears of gratitude.

Kong Jie smiled and said: "We are all our comrades, why are we talking about this?"

In the subsequent negotiations, Kong Jie said that the 115th Division could start overhauling the temporary airport and occupy the small island in the lake as a seaplane base in terms of a relatively stable base.

To achieve what purpose?

“The [-]th Division fought in the Shandong area, and many base areas were close to the sea. This is a special geographical situation that our anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas in North China do not have.

In order to better deal with the Japanese army, we have to find a way to control a coastline in Yantai and Weihai, install the coastal defense artillery moved from Qingdao, and establish a coastal defense torpedo boat production base belonging to our Eighth Route Army.

This will also be a great advantage for us in our subsequent fight for sea control with the Japanese army. "

In addition, Kong Jie also said: "At present, the situation in North China is becoming more and more stable, and the Japanese invaders, who have experienced multiple disastrous defeats, are basically unable to launch large-scale raids in North China, the main area behind enemy lines.

For us, this is an excellent opportunity to develop and strengthen the base area and increase agricultural production. As for the 115th Division base area, we can try to carry out the production of various crops including winter wheat based on our scientific production experience in vigorously developing agriculture in the Taihang region. planting to increase agricultural production and lay a solid foundation for anti-Japanese food. "

In this regard, the commanders of the 115th Division, including some of the leaders who came, agreed.

The two sides then discussed how to carry out industrial and agricultural development and production in various base areas of the 115th Division with the help of the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone.

……

Soon after, relevant leaders came to discuss with Kong Jie on behalf of the New Fourth Army to discuss the follow-up development of the New Fourth Army's anti-Japanese revolutionary base area.

After the meeting, the leader took the lead with full excitement. Accompanied by Kong Jie, he first visited the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone, especially the development of military equipment.

Along the way, we visited the Iron Triangle Army's organically formed steel-helmeted soldiers and car teams, as well as the armored columns marching in formation, and the aviation team flying over the armored forces.

Shocked by such a huge scene, even the leaders who have been on the battlefield and are used to big storms don't know how to express their excitement for a while.

It includes scenes of all types of unheard-of heavy artillery firing, such as the Soviet-made 203 howitzer, the American-made 203 howitzer, and the Japanese-made 240 howitzer. Let alone seeing that scene, I can't even think of it.

When Kong Jie then took out his special gift - the documentary of the original capture of Tianjin and the siege of the 14th Division of the Kwantung Army.

The shocking scenes shown in the documentary include whizzing rocket launchers, various dive bombers, and Type 42 tanks covering the advance of the infantry, and capturing the Japanese positions with a devastating offensive.

The leaders watching the movie were even moved to tears, "Okay, okay! Such a strong army is the hope for the prosperity of our motherland! Kong Jie, Kong Jie, you really gave me the best gift I have ever received in my life. What a gift!”

Later, Kong Jie said nothing about how to cooperate with the New Fourth Army in the future to help the New Fourth Army develop its troops and expand the base area. Instead, he rushed to the special experimental area with the leaders who had visited the equipment and watched the documentary. Visit some medical clinics.

The leader expressed confusion about this.

Kong Jie explained with a smile: "Leader, if we talk about the improvement of equipment, the expansion of military strength, and the stability of the base area, which are the hard power of our army, such as the logistics foundation and medical conditions of an army, these can be called for soft power.

Since the further development of our experimental zone, in addition to military, industrial and agricultural development, soft power such as medical and logistics has never fallen behind.

What we just visited are the most advanced medical equipment and instruments that we purchased especially from abroad.

In addition, with the growth of our base area, a large number of talents have begun to return to the embrace of the motherland to help with development and construction. In terms of medical care, we have also attracted a large number of medical talents.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the support of our advanced medical level, our soldiers can basically save their lives as long as they are not killed on the battlefield and are transferred to the field hospital in the rear in time! "

The leader believed deeply and said: "That's right. Medical security is indeed the best backing for our soldiers who sacrifice their lives and fight bloody battles on the front line. I have heard that Kong Jie and your base area have been very good in terms of medical care in recent years. There was a breakthrough, and a corresponding assembly line factory was even established to begin mass production of antibacterial drugs such as sulfonamides.

Even our New Fourth Army received a considerable amount of sulfonamide drug support, and I don’t know how many soldiers’ lives were saved for this reason.

For this reason, Kong Jie, on behalf of the entire New Fourth Army, I have to thank you very much! "

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Leader, actually I took you to see these medical equipment and told you this, not because I wanted to tell you this."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Ahem, let me get straight to the point. I heard that your leader was injured in a battle in the early years, and shrapnel was embedded in the brain. However, according to our medical level at the time, there was no way to remove the brain without damaging your life. of shrapnel.

But if these shrapnel are not taken out, it will be a troublesome thing after all, and as time goes by, the hidden dangers will become bigger and bigger.

I would like to lead you to have a splitting headache every time you encounter some rainy weather these years, right? "

"Kong Jie, you are serious. You still remember this!" The leader smiled and shook his head: "It's an old problem. It doesn't matter to me whether you take it or not. It just hurts sometimes, but As long as it doesn’t hurt to death, don’t worry about that!”

Kong Jie said: "Leader, you can't think like this. Your head is not just your own, it also belongs to our entire anti-Japanese team. How many comrades are still waiting for your command!"

I show you these medical equipment because I want to tell you that with the medical level of our special experimental area and some experienced surgeons, they can remove the shrapnel without worrying about your life. , there must be no problem. "

This is something Kong Jie has been thinking about as the medical level in the base area develops.

What a great person the leader is. He almost devoted his life to the fight against Japan and the revolution.

He was injured in the early years and had shrapnel embedded in his brain. He has been suffering from illness for this reason, including later when he fought across the [-]th Parallel. It was precisely because of the pain that the leader regretted his whole life and was unable to participate in the war.

Now that he has the conditions, Kong Jie certainly wants to make up for his regrets. This is the greatest respect he has for the martyrs and old heroes who fought against Japan.

Needless to say, feeling the sincerity in Kong Jie's words made the leader feel warm in his heart.

However, he still did not agree immediately: "I have been suffering from this problem for many years. I am not in a hurry for a while. Let's release the medical resources first and treat our other wounded comrades!"

After hearing what the leader said, Kong Jie said with a smile: "Leader, you don't have to worry about this. With the current medical foundation of our experimental area, we can fully cope with the treatment of the wounded.

In addition, the situation is stable during this period, and there are basically no large-scale battles. If I take the time to perform an operation on you, there will be no delay at all! "

After Kong Jie's persuasion, the leader finally agreed.

But before the operation, the doctors said it was definitely risky, and the leader made special instructions to the New Fourth Army commanders who came.

I have always been worried about the leadership of the New Fourth Army. Even before the operation, the handover of work and the deployment of all aspects should be made clearly before the operation.

In the words of the leader: "Surgery is definitely risky. I bear the risk personally, which is okay, but I can't let my comrades take the risk with me!"

These words made Kong Jie's heart well up with deep respect. He personally accompanied the leader into the operating room and waited outside the operating room.

It can be said that Kong Jie spent a lot of time preparing for the operation.

The doctor in charge of the operation this time was a professor-level neurosurgeon who flew in from the United States. I heard that this doctor had performed no less than a hundred brain surgeries, and that there were more than a dozen American military officers. , without exception, all were cured.

Kong Jie spent a lot of energy to invite this professor-level doctor to the experimental area.

After a long wait.

Hard work pays off.

According to Dr. Walls, "Kong, don't worry, the operation is very successful. Your officer friend will recover in two months, and it will not affect his nerves!"

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, this is what I should do!"

Walls said, and then sighed: "Three pieces, we took out three pieces of shrapnel from his brain that were quite large for the brain. It is simply unimaginable how he withstood these three pieces of shrapnel. It caused huge pain in the brain, but it has persisted until now, without even changing its expression, just like ordinary people!"

"Maybe these are Chinese soldiers!"

Kong Jie thought for a while and said loudly.

Walls smiled and nodded in admiration. This was probably the best explanation.

After a few days of training, the leader's condition recovered very well, and he was even able to chat and laugh with Kong Jie in the ward.

"Leader, how are you feeling?"

"Okay, it's better than ever before. It's like the big worm that has been eating in my brain has been completely taken out!"

"Kong Jie, I owe you a favor!"

cough cough-

Kong Jie also took advantage of the slope to cough, and then said: "Leader, if you say so, I really want to ask you for some help!"

"Oh, tell me! I owe you such a big favor. As long as I can help, I will never refuse!"

Kong Jie said: "Actually, this time I took the comrades of the New Fourth Army around and showed them the documentary about our siege of the [-]th Japanese Division. On the one hand, it was just to encourage the commanders of our New Fourth Army.

What are you doing?
I hope that after our commanders return, they can lead the troops in various base areas and take advantage of this winter to launch some offensives to contain the Japanese troops in central and southern China. "

　It should be finished in about a month, maybe even shorter. My original plan was to send troops to advance into DB, or even capture DB, but the environment did not allow it, and chapters have been swallowed up frequently recently...

　　So... maybe I need to skip it and finish it later.

　　Let me explain it to you!
