The father of the sword is Kong Jie

At the military meeting of the General Headquarters at that time, when Kong Jie proposed to unite the Allied countries to hold this military competition in Licheng, he pointedly pointed out:

"The military competition is more of a gimmick, mainly to promote cooperation and exchanges between our allied countries in military tactics, strategies, operations and even politics and economics.

Not only we understand this truth, the Allied countries understand this truth, and the little devils also understand this truth.

As soon as our competition begins, everyone will see that the little devil will probably not be able to sit still, and I'm afraid he won't even be able to sleep well.

Maybe the Japanese army thought that we were secretly planning how to deal with his little devil under the guise of a competition! "

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Although the overall situation on the Allied side was slightly improved, it was not smooth. In order to counter the enemy, they paid a heavy price.

On the other hand, on the Sino-Japanese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army was in such a dangerous environment behind enemy lines, but it was able to grow rapidly and even continuously defeat the Japanese army. The Japanese army was defeated and disoriented.

Nowadays, the Eighth Route Army has even established a relatively advanced military merit system behind enemy lines.

Naturally, the Allied countries also want to come and get some scriptures.

Discuss the construction of tactics and equipment system with the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the Eighth Route Army has made great achievements in ground-air coordination, infantry-tank coordination, infantry-artillery coordination, and the insertion of large-scale armored units, which is obvious to all.

Among them, the Allied countries are mainly concerned about the experience of the Eighth Route Army in mountain warfare, the tactics and experience of armored units, mechanized artillery units, and infantry cooperation.

Including the Eighth Route Army's very flexible mechanized combined combat battalion guerrilla combination.

There are also issues with the formation of self-propelled artillery and anti-tank guns, as well as the unique organization of rocket-propelled ground attack aircraft.

With the popularization of small, medium and large field anti-aircraft guns with faster response, the survivability of dive bombers continues to decline. Countries like the Allied Forces, which have powerful aviation power in their hands, are in urgent need of new ground attack methods. So that the aviation force still occupies the absolute stage of modern combat.

In addition, there are the Eighth Route Army's magical mechanized troop maintenance capabilities and so on.

These are things that the Eighth Route Army troops demonstrated that surprised the Allied countries.

As for the special tendency of the Allied generals to learn from these experiences and tactics.

The generals of the Eighth Route Army were also very open-minded and agreed immediately.

no problem!

Since the Allies want to learn from it, we, the Eighth Route Army, will never hide our secrets.

We can even give you a class directly, and use the real combat examples of our Eighth Route Army command to give you a thorough dissection and explanation.

Cough cough--

However, you should understand that it is inappropriate to reciprocate.

You want to learn from the experience and tactics of our Eighth Route Army, and our Eighth Route Army naturally wants to learn from your allied countries' strengths and weaknesses, integrate them, and learn something new.

For example, a certain Eighth Route Army commander was very interested in the weapon maintenance, marching, water supply, and oil supply of the Allied troops marching in desert areas.

The reason!

——There are also many Gobi deserts to the west of Yan'an. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and long-distance marches can be very successful if they can consume less water and fuel.

The Eighth Route Army troops lacked experience in this area and could learn from the Allies.

In addition, the Artillery Development Committee headed by Mr. Lin is very interested in the British army's sophisticated front-line artillery to large-cluster coordinated combat capabilities in depth artillery.

Naturally, we cannot miss such a good opportunity. We must give full play to the spirit of our Eighth Route Army soldiers who love learning.

Li Yunlong was not willing to miss such a good learning opportunity.

Lao Li found General Patton and pointed out straight to the point that he was particularly interested in the US mechanized group army operations.

Barton had also heard of Li Yunlong's name a long time ago. He knew that among the three important members of the Iron Triangle, there was such a big-headed, trouble-making, iron-blooded general who had many clever ideas in fighting and was fearless.

The two hit it off immediately.

Or maybe they were just like each other. After these few words, they called each other "Lao Ba" and "Lao Li".

Just make a blood alliance and become brothers of different nationalities.

With in-depth exchanges, the two learned from each other and discussed some tactics, strategies and army unity experiences in modern warfare.

Lao Li behaved very generously, and Barton was also a down-to-earth person who taught everything he had to offer.

On the other hand, Kong Jie was very interested in the Soviet Army's Battle of Kursk. Large mechanized cluster operations were not common.

After the Eighth Route Army is completely strengthened, its future combat direction will sooner or later move closer to the direction of large-scale mechanized cluster operations.

Including this plan to advance northward.

Kong Jie naturally seized the opportunity to study hard. In order to actually learn something, Kong Jie also asked his staff to make a corresponding military simulation sand table, and conducted simulated confrontation training with the Soviet generals on the sand table.

The battle situation at that time, the exchange of thoughts and tactics of the generals on both sides, and the strategic planning were all presented before their eyes.

What's interesting is that when Kong Jie simulated the Soviet enemy's forces and used the tactics that the Eighth Route Army was good at to counterattack, the Soviet side's originally proud tactical command continued to hit the wall, and ultimately lost the simulated confrontation directly.

This shocked the Soviet generals from ear to ear, and the leading general sighed with emotion: "Kong, fortunately our enemy is not your Eighth Route Army!"

The two sides had a lively conversation and both learned something from it.

The commander-in-chief from Yan'an specially summoned everyone to the war room to discuss the matter. They chatted for three days and three nights. When he was hungry, he asked the cooking team to get some food. When he was really sleepy, he made a bed on the floor in the conference room and slept for a while.

It was truly an unprecedented military discussion.

Even the generals of the New Fourth Army came over after hearing the news, holding notebooks and looking like they were serious about asking for advice and learning.

For a time, the competition became secondary, and the seminars on various combat tactics and special situations encountered in the war were the main gain.

In addition to the generals from the Allied countries, many generals from the Jinsui Army, including the Central Army, also participated. The generals of the Eighth Route Army were open-minded. They were all Chinese troops, so naturally they would not deliberately be xenophobic.

For example, Chu Yunfei of the Jinsui Army and Zhang Zongling of the Central Army were all top students with academic backgrounds. They knew almost everything about the tactics and strategies discussed by both sides.

But at the end of the seminar, when Chu Yunfei left the conference room, he kept shaking his head and sighing.

Zhang Zongling said with a smile: "Based on this seminar, this trip is worthwhile, why is Brother Yunfei shaking his head and sighing?"

Chu Yunfei said helplessly: "Senior, what do you think of the experience of the Allied countries, including the Eighth Route Army, in terms of tactical and strategic thinking?"

"It's really wonderful!" Zhang Zongling replied.

"What about our national army?" Chu Yunfei asked.

Zhang Zongling was obviously stunned: "Yunfei, what exactly do you want to say?"

Chu Yunfei sighed bitterly: "Senior, this is the reason why I am helpless. The strategies and tactics proposed by the Allied countries, including the Eighth Route Army, as well as the experience of the equipment system and troop development direction are extremely precious.

But the actual situation is almost like a castle in the air to us.

Even if our generals can master these strategies and tactics, including the advanced troop management ideas of the Eighth Route Army and allied countries, what is the use?

After all, we don’t have these equipment at all!

It's like a backward and poor country that doesn't even have a fighter plane, and spends all day in discussion meetings about aviation construction, development and operations of powerful countries.

Even if there is some gain, what is the difference between it and listening to the Heavenly Book? "Zhang Zongling fell into deep silence.

Yes!

The current equipment level of the Eighth Route Army has been exaggeratedly developed, and it has even far surpassed the Jinsui Army and even the Central Army.

What air force, elite armored force combat.

For the national army, it is more like a castle in the air that is out of reach.

When the Anti-Japanese War first broke out, when the national army was at its most prosperous, the specially assembled elite Central Army could not yet meet such equipment standards.

However, they spent a lot of money to reluctantly form an armored corps. Due to the haste of time and improper training, they rushed into the battlefield before fully forming combat effectiveness. The result was basically lost in the Battle of Songhu.

Let alone now.

And large-scale mechanized swarm operations?

It is still unknown whether the Central Army, which has been devastated by war, can now assemble a mechanized combat force.

In the end, Chu Yunfei and Zhang Zongling left a bit lonely, which was regarded as an early exit.

After hearing the news, Kong Jie came to see him off.

"Mr. Zhang, Brother Yunfei, since you are here, why not stay a few more days?"

Zhang Zongling shook his head, declined Kong Jie's kindness, and left.

Only Chu Yunfei was left in front of him.

Kong Jie began to dig into his heart: "Brother Yunfei, Commander Zhang and I are nominal allies at best, so we can only be polite.

But you and I are different. We have known each other for so many years, fought against Japanese invaders together, and helped each other. Let alone friends, we can even be considered brothers.

Even someone with a temperament like Lao Li always gives a thumbs up when talking about Brother Yunfei.

Brother Yunfei should have arrived at our Eighth Route Army's territory as if he had arrived at his own home, so why were he in such a hurry to leave?

I also want to find an opportunity to discuss with Brother Yunfei the current international situation and the subsequent direction of our Chinese army’s war of resistance! "

Chu Yunfei smiled and shook his head: "Brother Kong, Mr. Chu is just a soldier. To be honest, at the beginning, Mr. Chu still had some energy. He also thought about fighting on the battlefield and serving the motherland, even if he was buried in horse leather.

But until he met Brother Kong, Chu recognized himself more clearly.

Compared with Brother Kong, who combines military command, troop development, base construction, and economic construction, Chu is just a soldier, a pure soldier.

Brother Kong can develop a base area into prosperity, completely improve the equipment level of the troops, and even promote the development of the three armies.

But all Chu can do is win a few battles when he's lucky, that's all.

Every time he thinks of this, Chu feels ashamed! "

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Brother Yunfei, why do you say this? Do soldiers need to be classified according to their ability to serve their family and country? They are just passionate.

But having said that, Brother Yunfei, I have something to say from the bottom of my heart. I wonder if Brother Yunfei is willing to listen? "

"Chu is all ears!"

"That's fine. Brother Yunfei is a smart man, so I won't beat around the bush. Brother Yunfei should be able to clearly see the current Sino-Japanese war situation. The little Japanese is like a grasshopper after autumn. He won't be able to jump around for much longer.

In the future, such a huge China will naturally have a master who takes charge of the country.

If the master is stupid, the family will be stupid.

If the master is wise, the family will be wise.

The current situation is obvious to all the world. The growth of our Eighth Route Army is the general trend.

Famous anti-Japanese generals like Commander Fu and Commander Fang, who were both extremely elegant and elegant, had already made the best choice based on their true intentions.

Brother Yunlong, you and I are friends and brothers. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to work. If Brother Yunfei really has the intention, our Eighth Route Army will definitely open the door for you at any time! "

After talking for a long time, Kong Jie wanted to draw Chu Yunfei into the Eighth Route Army camp.

Chu Yunfei laughed happily: "Thank you Brother Kong for your kindness, but Brother Kong should have heard of an old saying, that is, a minister does not serve two masters, and a good woman does not serve two husbands. Although Chu is mediocre, he also understands this truth. .”

"Chu is a soldier. He only knows how to fight a good war. What does Chu have to do with the rest?"

"Brother Kong, farewell!"

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Looking at the backs of Chu Yunfei and his guards riding away, Kong Jie sighed in his heart.

He had already expected that Chu Yunfei would reply like this and firmly refused.

After all, this is not the "Lu Bu" who called his adoptive father everywhere.

Chu Yunfei is a very orthodox and pure soldier at heart. He believes that "soldiers should have the backbone of soldiers." If such a guy has no backbone and chooses to surrender because of Kong Jie's few words, Kong Jie will really look down on him. The clouds flew away.

With Chu Yunfei's temperament, he would never be able to say something as shameless as Li Yunlong: "Haha, thank you Brother Kong for your kindness. Then remember to leave the gate of your Eighth Route Army for me. Maybe I will figure it out sometime." Come on, come over!"

Just as Kong Jie was sighing with emotion, Li Yunlong rushed over not far away, his loud voice floating over from afar.

"Lao Kong, how's the situation?"

"Rejected!" Kong Jie said.

Hahaha--

Li Yunlong said happily: "Let's just say, if he is really willing to accept it, he will no longer be Chu Yunfei. It's just a pity, this kid is destined to go to the dark side."

Kong Jie smiled, there were some things he couldn't say, and he still had more emotions in his heart.

If the original plot trend is followed, Chu Yunfei held a grand Hongmen Banquet, invited Li Yunlong to the banquet, and promised the position of deputy division commander of the National Army to win over him, but was declined by Li Yunlong with slippery words.

Now the situation has been reversed. Instead, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong made an offer to win over Chu Yunfei.

However, there is another difference:

Chu Yunfei was thinking about the men and horses of Li Yunlong's regiment, but for Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, they may not like Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment.

Concerning this point, especially within the Iron Triangle Army, Kong Jie has repeatedly stated:

It’s better to lack than to overdo it!

Those who have not undergone special assessment and inspection must not join the Iron Triangle Army at will.

Now that the Eighth Route Army is growing stronger, you can't just sneak in if your team wants to surrender.
