The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 1254: Alarming the Snake

After the fighting around the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line ended, the Japanese army, which suffered heavy casualties, no longer had the confidence and courage to assemble heavy troops to raid the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line within a short period of time.

Therefore, according to the plan of the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, with the help of the perfect defense of the eastern Mongolian defense line, troops began to be continuously assembled in the eastern and western Mongolia areas to conduct military training for various arms and base areas.

Strive to complete the running-in and reorganization of various troops in the shortest possible time, and reorganize the originally scattered troops into a powerful division with high cohesion, execution ability and combat effectiveness.

Before that, there is a little episode:

The Licheng Military Competition ended successfully.

Take away a great drama presented by the Eighth Route Army to the representatives of the generals from all the Allied countries:

The eastern Mongolian defense line defeated the Japanese army!

At the following celebration party, according to the original plan, the organizer, the Eighth Route Army, announced the rankings of each event in the Allied Military Competition, including the final ranking of the overall score, etc.

But something went wrong.

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan, who was responsible for statistics of specific data, went to Kong Jie and reported: "Old Kong, the final rankings of this Licheng Military Competition have been determined."

"Oh, so fast?"

Kong Jie asked curiously: "What is the specific situation? What is the overall ranking of our Eighth Route Army? In addition, in the competition between the base areas, which base areas are in the top positions this time?"

cough cough-

Xu Guoan coughed a few times and said helplessly: "Lao Kong, this problem arises here. According to our original plan, because there are many competition events in Licheng this time.

We only award medals to the top three in each event.

Then the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of each event will be scored three points, two points and one point respectively, which will be used as the final judgment of the comprehensive score and the ranking standard.

This time it is on our base. We, the Eighth Route Army, must have the most participating base areas. Representatives from each base area have come. This time, elites from the base areas have been specially sent to compete for a ranking.

result……"

Kong Jie's mind was so lively that he immediately realized the problem: "Do you mean that all the previous rankings have been taken by our Eighth Route Army?"

Xu Guoan said helplessly: "Yes! That's what happened. Basically, the top three places in each event of the team competition were taken by our Eighth Route Army base areas. I didn't even see the list of participants from the Soviet Union, the United States, France and other allied forces. .

In addition to a few individual competitions, the Allies sent some legends over, and they got a few rankings.

The situation is really special.

Lao Kong, I can only come to you for an idea! "

"Forehead……"

Kong Jie was also very surprised, the situation was beyond expectation.

He knew what Lao Xu was worried about. Logically speaking, the top three in all events were basically taken by the Eighth Route Army, which was naturally a matter of pride for the Eighth Route Army.

But the military competition held in Licheng this time was not only for some propaganda and political purposes, but also to further unite the Allied countries to jointly deal with the enemy.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army, as the host, held such a huge military competition, and international reporters from all parties were still here.

But all the awards were won by your Eighth Route Army.

The Allied countries, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, France and other Western powers did not even get half a ranking.

It is inevitable that people will feel depressed.

Such a "one-dominated" situation is not conducive to the Eighth Route Army's subsequent cooperation with its allies!

In the end, Kong Jie thought about it and discussed with the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of general staff, and decided to make some adjustments to the final list of awards.

As the host, the Eighth Route Army was naturally far ahead.

However, in other military competition events, some runner-up and third-place finishers were intentionally given up to allied countries such as Britain, the United States, and France.

Anyway, the specific statistical work of the competition was done by the Eighth Route Army, and the participating Allied countries did not know the specific situation very well.

After the matter was settled, Kong Jie used his ranking to make some small articles in private.

What are you doing?

Find representatives from all the Allied countries and reveal the matter implicitly in private.

These representatives have a clear idea of ​​the actual military competition.

Everyone also knows that their own competition results cannot be used.

My face will definitely not look good when the rankings are announced.

So when Kong Jie implicitly said that the Eighth Route Army could operate secretly to move your ranking upward, it was only natural that they would get some benefits along the way.

This impressed Li Yunlong very much: "If you want to be able to do business and make a fortune, it must be you, Lao Kong! As for Lao Li, we are just fighting devils, and we can do some side work!"

Finally, at the celebration meeting, representatives of the Eighth Route Army announced the final winners list of each event in the Licheng Military Competition, as well as the comprehensive score ranking list of the Allied countries and the Eighth Route Army base areas.

A total of ten are ranked in the comprehensive ranking.

The first place in the team competition is undoubtedly the amazing Iron Triangle team that was involved in the competition a few years ago.

The second place is the Taihang Military Region.

The third place was the team from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.

Fourth place: Soviet team.

After these words fell, the members of the Soviet delegation immediately burst into thunderous applause, congratulating themselves one after another.

Even though the top three positions were all occupied by the Eighth Route Army, among the guests this time, Su Fang was the leader, and this was worthy of celebration.

Fifth place: American team.

Members of the American team headed by General Patton also began to applaud, but their expressions were not very good. It was not that they were suppressed by the Eighth Route Army - after all, there were not many members participating, and it was normal that they could not compare with the host Eighth Route Army, but that they were suppressed by the Soviet side. Got a ranking.

Then it was the turn of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, followed by the British delegation and the French delegation.

Looking at the allied representatives who had unnatural expressions because their rankings were not very good, Kong Jie secretly smiled in his heart: "Just be content. If it weren't for the issue of balance, considering that our Eighth Route Army still has to fight with all of you." Cooperation, the top ten places are all taken by our Eighth Route Army, how can you still have a share?"

As for the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.

The actual ranking situation is even worse than that of the British and Soviet sides.

But it is still the Chinese army and a nominal friendly force. The Eighth Route Army is nominally affiliated with the National Revolutionary Army.

This ranking is too low, and I'm afraid the principal's old face won't be able to bear it.

In the end, Kong Jie and other generals thought about it and thought, let’s rank the Jinsui Army and the Central Army as tied for tenth place!

After the list is announced.

The smiles of the representatives of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army froze and they looked at each other with bitterness.

Fortunately, after all these arrangements were made, it was generally a great time for the guests and it was quite lively. And as the grand military competition in Licheng came to an end.

The entire Sino-Japanese battlefield also ushered in a rare and short period of calm.

Of course, everyone knows that under this calmness, a new round of turmoil must be brewing.

As for the Chongqing headquarters, the principal has become more and more troubled by the growing strength of the Eighth Route Army. However, on the other hand, with the powerful Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army to contain the Japanese army in North China, Central China, and South China, the pressure on other countries' military operations has been greatly relieved.

After the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, if the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines had not contained the main force of the Japanese army, the Japanese army would have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it.

Maybe at this moment, the Japanese have successfully opened up the mainland's communication lines in accordance with the No. 1 combat plan.

Time passed quickly in this temporary calm.

Kong Jie is busy with official duties as usual and continues to lead the development of the special experimental zone.

On the one hand, we are always paying attention to the progress of the training and running-in of various troops in the eastern and western Mongolia regions.

If you take the time, you can also tease your good son Kong Xinguo, who is almost half a year old. Although he can't speak, he can already squeak a few times.

As for Li Yunlong's son Li Shengguo, he is still in his mother's belly and there is no movement.

This made Lao Li anxious. He would touch his mother-in-law's belly all day long and keep muttering: "Lao Kong's son will be able to go to the ground soon. I said, Xiao Li, you can give your father some air, that's pretty cool." , come out when you need to!"

Xiuqin was amused: "Captain, the baby has to be carried to full term! It's not something I can decide. If it's less than a month old, it will be premature!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that premature birth is no joke. It might lead to death! Our son loves his mother the most. You have to be good and come out when the month is up. Dad is not in a hurry, Dad is not in a hurry at all!"

Li Yunlong giggled, Xiu Qin took good care of the family and outside the house, supported him in Li Yunlong's work, and coaxed his temper, and tolerated all of Li Yunlong's bad habits.

Since the two got married, Li Yunlong really had nothing to worry about when he returned home. He was enjoying himself like a rich man. The two of them never even quarreled.

When had Li Yunlong, who was used to hardship, ever lived like this?

Sometimes Lao Li feels like he is in a dream: We have spent eight lifetimes burning incest to find such a good wife!

In order to better take care of the pregnant Xiu Qin, Li Yunlong turned over the book "Friends of Military Talents in Two Places" in his hand.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart: Damn it, this Lao Kong is really evil. To say that this book was compiled by Lao Kong and many military cadres, a group of bachelors, is it a surprise. It even explains clearly what pregnant women should eat during pregnancy, what to pay attention to, when to give birth, and how to take care of them.

Could it be that this old Kong was still a woman in his last life?

The more Li Yunlong thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

...The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Talking about the training and running-in situation of the troops in the eastern and western Mongolia regions.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff said: “After more than a month of training, the collaborative combat capabilities of our various base units and various arms have increased significantly.

This will mean that we will gradually move from separate and independent operations in each base area to large-scale coordinated operations in the future.

Our Eighth Route Army's foreign war model will open a new chapter! "

As for the situation of the Kwantung Army and the troops stationed in Mongolia outside the eastern Mongolian defense line.

The deputy chief of staff said with a smile: "After the last battle on the Eastern Mongolia Defense Line, the Japanese have learned to be honest. The Japanese around the defense line do not even dare to send out reconnaissance troops.

The Kwantung Army to the north has completely retreated to the Kwantung, and the Mongolian troops are also sticking to their base camp and holding their troops on hold. The situation in eastern Mongolia is completely stable, and the original recovered area has been developed into a stable base by us! "

Discuss the next battle plan.

Kong Jie put forward his own suggestion: "The eastern Mongolian area is gradually stabilizing. Our troops are training in the eastern Mongolian area, which will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese.

This is not the result we want to see.

Next, the devil's attention must be diverted.

We can start a new round of military mobilization. The mobile troops originally assembled on the eastern Mongolian defense line can be disguised by our mobile troops in Shanxi and appear frequently.

To create an illusion for the Japanese, our mobile elites who have completed training may march eastward to North China or southward to northern Henan at any time, and completely launch a plan to attack the south and defend the north.

First, let’s frighten the enemy, and then scare the Japanese! "

The soldiers all laughed and agreed.

Various plans then unfolded.

Shi Dahu, the camouflage master of the Eighth Route Army's Strategic Camouflage Bureau, is still in charge of this camouflage plan.

In order to completely paralyze the judgment of the Japanese army, not only the mobile elite numbers of the Eighth Route Army that had appeared in eastern Mongolia appeared in Shanxi.

Including some camouflaged radio signals, the transfer of mobile elites from Eastern Mongolia to Shanxi, some camouflage phenomena on the way, etc., everything is included.

When Master of Disguise Shi Dahu takes action, it's no joke.

Today, Lao Shi's accomplishments in disguise are at their peak.

Including the original camouflage defense plan to create a fake Yan'an, it has been successfully implemented.

After the Eighth Route Army used Jiaodong to leave the airport and bombed the Xiaori homeland, the Japanese army was forced to take revenge and tried to send aviation units to set off at night to conduct air strikes against the Yan'an headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The result was a feeling of loneliness.

Basically all the bombs were dropped on the fake Yan'an base that Shi Dahu used as a lighthouse to disguise himself.

The Japanese army trumpeted in their propaganda the next day that they had successfully blown up the Yan'an headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army directly counterattacked. In the propaganda, there were not only articles with specific reports, but also corresponding photos, showing the bombed fake base, and claiming:

The Japanese bombs were so powerful that many birds nearby were killed!

The Japanese aviation force was nicknamed the bird bombing experts for a while.

As a result, Japan lost face and became an international joke.

…Headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force of the Japanese Army in Nanjing.

The mobile troops trained by the Eighth Route Army in eastern Mongolia began to secretly mobilize to Shanxi, and were quickly captured by the Japanese investigation and intelligence departments.

Shi Dahu’s disguise work was so good.

This move by the Eighth Route Army completely confirmed the previous speculations of Okamura and other old Japanese:

A battle plan to attack the south and defend the north!

Okamura still has no doubts. The Eighth Route Army is training troops in eastern and western Mongolia. The Japanese side has already received the news.

But they could only watch helplessly as the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness increased day by day through continuous training, with dismay.

After learning the news, Okamura could only place his last hope on the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army.

"Umezu-kun, please!" Okamura sincerely requested on the phone.

Umezu Yoshijiro, who was also aware of the urgency of the situation, did not dare to delay. After more than a month of recuperation, the severely damaged Kwantung Army and the Manchuria Defense Force recovered a lot. He then mobilized a considerable number of elite troops to go south to reinforce North China.
