The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 375

to early February.

The excitement of the Spring Festival is gradually fading away.

When Li Yunlong was busy leading the soldiers of the New Second Regiment to do side jobs everywhere and enrich his family.

New group.

regiment.

Ding Wei, the head of the Xinyi Regiment, is studying the recent military developments of the Japanese army with the military cadres of the Xinyi Regiment on the map.

The first battalion commander said, "Regimental commander, recently some of our comrades scattered in the guerrilla zone sent back news that during this period of time, many Japanese troops moved to the south of Shanxi through the railways and highways along the way.

You said that this little devil suddenly used troops in Jinnan, what exactly was he trying to do? "

"Jinnan!"

As Ding Wei spoke, he fell into deep thought, and found the area where Jinnan was located on the map. After a long time, he said, "Jinnan is the territory of the Central Army, and this is the only area where the Central Army operates in Shanxi.

On both sides of the Yellow River, the Central Army troops of the first war zone are active here.

Logically speaking, the situation between China and Japan has reached this point, especially on the border of Shanxi. The Japanese army has always been relatively passive in attacking the Central Army and the Jinsui Army.

The devil's main target is still our Eighth Route Army. It has always adopted a policy of luring the national army to surrender, at least maintaining the neutrality of the national army.

At present, the Japanese army is suddenly moving troops to the south of Shanxi. Could it be that they want to wipe out the central army operating along the Yellow River in one fell swoop? "

First Battalion Commander Sun Zhenguo said in surprise: "Regimental Commander, what do you mean, the little devil suddenly sent troops to Jinnan in order to launch a campaign against the Central Army?"

Ding Wei nodded and said: "Now it seems very likely. Last time I went to the headquarters for a meeting, the boss passed some information on the international situation obtained by the central government. It said that on foreign battlefields, Germany raided and occupied Poland. Last year, Italy won the war against Britain and France.

Seeing that his comrades in arms had made considerable progress, the little devil seemed unable to sit still.

And the little devil wants to change the anxiety of the current battle situation in North China. The most important point of this is on Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi.

As long as the little devil can take Zhongtiao Mountain, he will occupy an important military position for invading from the south to the north. He can cross the south and the south, visit the Longhai Sea, and invade the Central Plains. , to improve the public security situation in the occupied areas of North China.

If I were a little devil and wanted to change the impasse in front of me, I would do the same. "

Sun Zhenguo said: "What the head of the regiment said is that the Zhongtiao Mountain area is too important. As long as our Chinese troops still hold the Zhongtiao Mountain area, we can't lose northern Henan and southern Shanxi. At the same time, Luoyang and Tongguan A barrier to keep all the devils out.

Relying on the Zhongtiaoshan base area, the national army can further disrupt the enemy's rear and contain the Japanese troops.

If you retreat, you can also defend against danger, actively defend, and cooperate with the entire anti-Japanese battlefield.

With the Zhongtiao Mountain base area, if the Japanese army puts great pressure on the enemy's rear, our Eighth Route Army only needs to withstand three points, but once Zhongtiao Mountain is occupied by the devils, all the pressure will be directed at our Eighth Route Army. "

Ding Wei smiled and said: "Zhen Guo, you and I thought about going together, this matter must not be taken lightly, no, I have to go to the headquarters in person and explain the situation to my superiors."

……

……

While Li Yunlong was busy with a side job to enrich his family fortune, Ding Wei analyzed the tendency of the devils to attack Jinnan and reported to his superiors.

Kong Jie, who was standing on the shoulders of a giant, naturally knew about the Jinnan Campaign a long time ago, so he was not in such a hurry.

The general situation cannot be changed with his personal prophet and this meager power.

It is an undeniable fact that the difference in strength between the Central Army in southern Shanxi and the Japanese army is too large. No matter from which angle you analyze it, the Central Army can find countless excuses for the failure of the Southern Shanxi Campaign, but it is difficult to find one The reason for the success of the campaign.

In addition, regarding the Jinnan Campaign, although the overall situation is difficult to change, Kong Jie has an idea.

The next time we see Ding Wei and Li Yunlong, Audio-Technica may join forces again.

In addition, what Kong Jie can do now is similar to Li Yunlong's, try to enrich the family background of his independent group, and if it is better, support the headquarters as much as possible.

regiment.

Kong Jie, Director of the Logistics Department Dong San, Director of the Finance Department Xu Qingnian, and instructor Li Wenjie discussed the farming and defense construction of the base area.

Kong Jie said: "It looks like it's already February, and it's time for potato planting. Uncle Zhao will let you know, and the farming team will send more people. We soldiers can also go to help after training, and put our potato seeds first. Plant it and talk about it."

"Last year we planted good varieties of potatoes, and later harvested more than 100 catties of mother and son potatoes. Uncle Zhao gave [-] catties, Ding Wei's new group gave [-] catties, and Li Yunlong gave [-] catties. , and the brigade commander gave five hundred catties, and we still have about one thousand catties of mother and son potatoes."

"Uncle Zhao said that the size of the potato seed tubers should be controlled reasonably and sparsely. Two hundred catties of potato mothers and sons are enough for one mu of land."

"Then our mother and child of about one thousand catties of potatoes are enough to sow seeds on about five acres of land. We will follow the pre-planned yield of five thousand catties per mu of land. After the potatoes are planted this time, we can grow them all at once. You can harvest more than 2 catties."

Dong San said with emotion: "Leader, more than 2 catties of potatoes, what kind of concept is this? I have never seen such a high-yield crop, and now we will have nothing to worry about."

Kong Jiele said: "Your thinking is too simple, more than 2 catties of potatoes sounds like a lot at first glance, but you have to calculate the number of our team, not to mention, let's say that our independent team now has nearly With a force of 500 soldiers and more than [-] catties of potatoes, the rations for each soldier are less than ten catties."

"Ten catties of potatoes are enough to last for a few days? Calculated in this way, if more than 2 catties of potatoes are all supplied to the meals of our independent group, it will not last for a week."

"Not to mention that apart from our independent regiment, there are so many combat troops behind who are short of food. So after harvesting this batch of potatoes, we can use one-third as the logistics supply of our regiment, and the other two-thirds, It must be left as a mother and child to sow seeds again."

"At that time, we will not only grow these potato mothers and children, but also send a batch to the headquarters, and then the brigade commander will distribute them to other combat units. With these potato mothers and children in hand, even if the base area is blocked, we can solve it It's urgent."

"Yes." Dong San replied.

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Dong San, I will leave the matter of Tudou to you. Don't underestimate this little Tudou. This Tudou has a lot of energy! It is very likely that it will serve as our Eighth Route Army in the future." It is used as an important strategic material."

"The increase in potato production, post-production of potato flour and the like for sale, all these aspects, your logistics department will come up with a charter for me."

"We have to make a long-term plan in advance."

"Yes, don't worry, leader, I will arrange these after I go back." Dong San replied.

Then Dong San reported again: "By the way, head, there is one more thing I need to tell you. Our briquette and this briquette stove, after being sent to Inner Mongolia through the Shahukou, the effect is amazing."

"The comrades of the Inner Mongolia guerrilla detachment said that the people in Inner Mongolia especially like this kind of briquette, and the briquette stove. The winter in Inner Mongolia is very cold. With this coal stove, the lives of the people are much more convenient. Comrades of the guerrilla detachment , They have asked us for a large number of orders these days!"

"However, the people in Inner Mongolia are not very rich, and they don't have much money to buy our briquettes and stoves."

"The comrades of the guerrilla detachment said that the people of Inner Mongolia want to exchange some cattle, sheep, fodder, etc. for our briquettes and coal stoves. Commander, look at this..."

Kong Jiele said: "Exchange, this is a good thing, tell the people in Inner Mongolia that if they really exchange cattle, sheep and fodder, we will give them more favorable prices.

Our independent regiment still maintains a cavalry company, and we have to use the fodder we got back, and we can sell what we can’t use up.

Who would dislike such things as cattle and sheep?Livestock such as farm cattle are not something you can have if you want to.

There are also a lot of wasteland reclaimed in our base area, but why is the efficiency so low?In addition to the fact that the base area is not stable and will always be raided by devils from time to time, there is another reason, isn't it because we lack farming tools and cattle!
With cattle, our farming and production conditions can also be improved a lot. "

"But it's never a problem to rely on farming cattle. Dong San, I remember that when there was a trend of looting the devil-occupied area a while ago, our independent group robbed a lot of supplies, right?"

"Among the supplies, there are diesel and gasoline snatched from the devil's gas station, as well as maintenance tools snatched from some of the devil's repair equipment. Are there a lot of these things?"

"Yes." Dong San nodded, not understanding what Kong Jie meant.

Kong Jie continued: "These things can come in handy, just as there are many engines in our regiment that were taken from the trucks damaged by the devils that are not useful.

Let me give you an idea. As early as the [-]s, Britain had a precedent of using steam engines to realize farmland mechanical cultivation.

If they can, why can't we?The cattle have to eat grass, and the key is not easy to get them. The tractors that can be used to plow the land are much more convenient, as long as they can get kerosene or gasoline.

You guys think of a way to see if you can use the seized engine to invent a tractor that can be used to plow the land.

Mechanical work is definitely less time-consuming and labor-intensive than manual work. "

As for how to get gasoline and kerosene, Kong Jie remembered that there were also oil fields in Yan'an, and if it didn't work, he went to the devils to find a way.

Dong San was surprised at first, he really hadn't considered this aspect, and then his mouth was full of bitterness.

"Leader, let's give it a try at the Armory, but don't have too much hope, this thing sounds difficult to make, and it may not be able to be produced."

"Okay." Kong Jie said.

Dong Sandao: "Commander, I understand now. No wonder some time ago when other teams were grabbing cash and supplies in the devil-occupied area, you just told the troops to grab more car maintenance tools, gasoline, diesel, etc. Don't let go, including some engines and the like.

You are afraid that you have long thought about getting this tractor for farming, right? "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Why, embarrassing?"

Dong San smiled wryly: "How could it be, I just admire your foresight, leader."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, kid, and talk about business. Apart from potatoes and doing business with the people of Inner Mongolia, the most important thing for us right now is military development."

"The production of red-headed ammunition by using copper coins in the repair shop cannot be stopped, and the production of explosives and grenades must be increased and accelerated. Only if there is enough ammunition in this pocket, we will fight the little devils, that will be worthwhile."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie looked at Xu Qingnian, Minister of the Finance Department, "Old Xu, the Finance Department is open to the purchase and supply of firearms, and we will increase our cooperation with the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

"Yes!" Xu Qingnian replied.

"Dong San, go and tell Qian Shoucai, don't care how many guns and ammunition he provides from the 57th Regiment, and how much we want, just tell me clearly, if there is nothing else in our independent regiment, it is not short of money."

Dong Sanle said: "Leader, that's nothing to say, the 57th Regiment may be overjoyed to meet a buyer like you."

Kong Jie said: "Changing my mind, you have to think this way. Money itself has no value. Instead of piling it up in the warehouse and getting moldy, it's better to exchange for some real equipment and ammunition. Let's hold it in our hands so that we can have confidence. As for not enough, just think of a way, how can the living be suffocated to death by money?"

"Yes!"

"Old Xu, what's the situation with Old Xu?" Kong Jie asked again.

Xu Qingnian said: "Don't worry, the leader. Father's side has already started to operate, and we have reached a deal with some Japanese businessmen. The briquettes and coal stoves we have on hand have already begun to secretly supply to the counties in the devil-occupied area."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "You see, Dong San, we have money to spend, but we still have money to earn back. Your logistics department just needs to straighten up and do things."

"Yes!" Dong San replied.

Then I talked about the defense construction of the base area.

Kong Jie said: "Wen Jie, you need to pay more attention to the defense construction of the base area. On the one hand, it is the defense construction of our team itself. It goes without saying. To increase security and strengthen the internal defense force of the garrison, we must not only guard against the main force of the Japanese army. In order to mop up the combat troops, we must always be on guard against sneak attacks by small groups of Japanese combat troops.”

Kong Jie didn't dare to be careless about this.

I can form a commando team to attack little devils, and the Yamamoto special team is not vegetarian.

If the Yamamoto special team took the opportunity to touch the garrison, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Wenjie smiled and said: "Regimental Commander, don't worry! In order to deal with the sneak attack of the devil's small combat force, you specially arranged commando members to imitate the Japanese small force and try to infiltrate and raid the garrison to exercise our troops' defense. The ability of a small Japanese combat unit to sneak attack."

Kong Jie nodded. This was indeed the best solution he could think of to improve the independent regiment to deal with small groups of enemy raids.

If the commando team can't penetrate into the independent regiment's garrison, it's useless for the Yamamoto special team to come.

In order to achieve this effect, Kong Jie also worked hard.

"Wen Jie, don't be careless. I will entrust you with the security work inside the regiment, and I will still check it from time to time. For example, I will arrange commandos to conduct surprise attacks on the garrison from time to time."

"Since it's a sneak attack by a small group of troops, naturally I can't let you know in advance."

Li Wenjie smiled and said, "Leader, you just let the comrades in the commando come here."

"You are quite confident." Kong Jie smiled, "Another point is the defense construction of the villages around us. Our internal defenses are tight, but the defenses of the villages are relatively weak, which is the point where the devils will try to break through first. "

"Never put the little devils in a human perspective to think about problems. The devils may send some plainclothes teams, work teams, or teams pretending to be civilian refugees to infiltrate the defenses of the outskirts of our base area, and even poison and assassinate them. Case."

"So the defense construction of the villages around our base area is based on the guidance of the militia and our military backbone. On the one hand, we must strengthen the military defense construction of the village itself, and on the other hand, we must strengthen the military awareness of the villagers in the village.

But for any unfamiliar faces, you should always be careful, and the people in the village should raise more dogs.

In addition, the wells used for drinking water in the village, or the rivers that need to be fetched, the sources of these important water sources must be strictly controlled by manpower, and the enemy must not be given any opportunity to sneak in. "

What Kong Jie said did wake up Li Wenjie, and Li Wenjie quickly responded: "Yes, leader, after I go back, I will write a detailed village defense construction plan."

"Yeah!" Kong Jie nodded, thought for a while, but really didn't think there was anything else to entrust, so he asked, "Do you have anything else to say, do you want to fill in the gaps?"

Li Wenjie, Dong San, and Xu Qingnian shook their heads.

Kong Jie ordered the meeting to end...
