The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 403
As for those who don't want to stay in the independent regiment, but still want to go back to be traitors, there are good reasons. Some are because their family members are controlled by the devils, some are afraid of death, and some want to make a living. The entire military salary, provide for the family.

Kong Jie always expressed his understanding of these reasons, so according to Kong Jie's practice, as long as these soldiers handed in their guns and ammunition, they would put them back, and even pay some travel expenses.

"Returning these puppet soldiers will be of great benefit to our propaganda behind the enemy lines.

After these puppet soldiers go back, the news will spread. When the puppet troops encounter our independent regiment, even if they surrender and become prisoners, our independent regiment will not take their lives.

In this way, when we meet the puppet soldiers of our independent regiment in the future, they will not resist desperately.

Anyway, you can survive if you surrender. If you resist desperately, you may even lose your life. These puppet soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, so they naturally know what to do.

On the other hand, if we don't let this group of puppet troops go, how can there be puppet troops who dare to surrender easily in the future?Surrendering is also a dead end, it is better to fight with Balu!
In addition, the puppet army is our mobile arsenal. You said that so many puppet troops fled back empty-handed. Can the subsequent puppet government say that they will not allocate a single gun to them?
We can't kill the chicken to get the eggs, we have to understand the principle of the long flow of water. "

……

Then he talked about strengthening local armed forces and developing militias, strengthening training, and improving combat effectiveness.

Kong Jie said: "On the one hand, the construction of the militia in each village must continue to be steady and develop gradually. Our cadres in charge of this aspect will implement it seriously."

"In addition, during this period of time, the militias in many villages around us have developed well. I think we need to set up two district teams to build strong local armed forces and cooperate with our regular combat troops."

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Head, this is a good thing. After the battle in Zhangjiazhuang, the militia comrades have been pestering me all the time, asking when will you promise everyone to join the independent regiment!

Now that the district squad is established, militia comrades must be very happy to be able to enter the district squad to fight devils. "

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Tell the militia comrades for me that you have plenty of opportunities to fight devils, and this matter should not be rushed. What everyone has to do now is to improve their ability to fight devils. Now that you have the ability to kill devils, the door of the independent regiment is always open for everyone."

"Yes!" Shen Quan replied with a smile. .

"Okay, that's the end of this topic for the time being. Let's talk about the summary of this battle. Those of you who have thought about it can speak freely, and the instructors can take notes and summarize at any time."

After Kong Jie finished speaking, the first battalion commander Wang Leihu spoke first this time:
"Commander, this actual combat proved that our shelling team's tactics are really practical. I think our shelling team's tactics must be further developed. Once this kind of tactics is on the battlefield, it is simply a devil's light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. The nemesis of firepower."

"Gunner, ammunitionist, observer, a simple team of three."

"After the battle started, it was the devil's grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns. In the past, the devils bullied us with grenade launchers. As soon as the light and heavy machine guns on our side showed their firepower, the devil's grenade launcher shells smashed Come on, how many machine guns and machine gunners did we lose for this?"

"But what is it now? There is a saying that Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's the little devil's turn to taste it.

The devil's grenadier had just appeared, and the shells of our longer-range and more powerful [-] small guns smashed at the devil's grenadier. "

"As soon as the devil's light and heavy machine guns show their firepower, needless to say, the observers of our shelling team can use the ranging telescope to lock the specific location of the devil's light and heavy machine gun firepower immediately, and direct the shells to hit them."

"Without the cover of machine gun fire and grenades, this little devil still has the spirit he used to have. He was suppressed and beaten by us all the way."

Shen Quan echoed: "Yes, Commander, we have never fought such a hearty battle, you are right, the main weapon that this devil has caused casualties to us is this bullet-making barrel.

As long as we can restrain the firepower of the devil's grenadier, this little devil is fine. "

The other battalion commanders and instructors also nodded.

It seems that this is almost the case in actual combat.

Kong Jie said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has tasted the sweetness of this shelling team tactics, but we still have a lot to learn! Remember, infantry is our most precious asset at any time.

On the battlefield, why should we take the lead in knocking out the devil's grenadiers, light and heavy machine guns and other important firepower points?That is to protect the safety of our infantry.

In a hot weapon duel, whoever can protect his infantry better will not be far away from victory. "

At this time, the instructor Li Wenjie brought up his discovery on the battlefield this time, and said: "Regimental Commander, our independent regiment has not stopped training the soldiers on marksmanship for nearly a year.

But because our ammunition is limited, it is impossible to achieve the intensity of the devil's live ammunition training.

Although the marksmanship of our soldiers has improved a lot, for example, in the Ninth Company where I was originally, the marksmanship of the soldiers is not much better than that of the devils.

But on the whole, our marksmanship is still lacking compared to the kid's marksmanship. "

"However, I found that the lack of marksmanship between us and the devils is mainly after a distance of 200 meters."

"Because the devil's gun is better, the bullets are more abundant, and the devil's live ammunition training is more sufficient. At a distance of more than 200 meters, when the two of us are firing at each other, some old devils who have trained quickly will not be able to shoot. Much better than our warriors."

"But if the distance is within 200 meters, the marksmanship of our fighters is not much different from that of little devils."

"It's like two soldiers with a big difference in marksmanship. If it is a duel within 20 meters, the main comparison is speed, and the difference in marksmanship will be narrowed instead."

"If it's just about speed, we fighters are no worse than little devils in this regard. After all, there is no need to waste ammunition when practicing holding guns and aiming these things. We can train more and harder than devils."

"What I mean by this is that I suggest that if we encounter devils on the battlefield in the future, we should try to keep the firing distance of both sides within 200 meters. Our soldiers should focus on training fast and precise strikes within 200 meters. started a firepower confrontation with the Japanese army at a distance of more than 200 meters."

After Li Wenjie's analysis, all the cadres applauded.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, praised him without hesitation: "As expected of the former instructor of the Ninth Company of Sharp Guns, Wen Jie, your analysis is too good. If the distance is less than 200 meters, our red-headed bullets can still come in handy. It is indeed a factor that we should consider in future battles."

……

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Everyone said what they thought of, and they didn't pay attention to whether it was good or bad. In short, it was a brainstorming session, gathering the wisdom of everyone, speaking out and making progress together, and analyzing together!

It is a consistent tradition of the Eighth Route Army to summarize and study after the war.

In Kong Jie's words, only by combining practice and theory, fighting, learning and summarizing at the same time, can one truly grow into an excellent commander.

Remember, your best teacher is your worst opponent.

At the meeting, Kong Jie also put forward the idea of ​​forming a armed forces team behind enemy lines, and the corresponding cadres started to proceed.

... "Okay, that's all for today, let's adjourn the meeting!"

After the meeting, Kong Jie asked the monk to call Dong San, the head of the logistics department.

"Captain, you are looking for me!"

Kong Jie asked, "How is the chicken essence going?"

Kong Jie is still thinking about the independent group's production of chicken essence.

After discussing with Dong San and Xu Qingnian last time, Dong San took the full responsibility, and asked some comrades in the cooking team in the regiment to try to use the monosodium glutamate bought from the county, plus some salt, sugar, chicken powder, etc. Ingredients, try to deploy the chicken essence.

Kong Jie wrote down some ingredients according to his own memory, and let the comrades in the cooking class try to prepare them.

Dong San smiled and said: "Head, the preparation of this chicken essence should be almost the same. The old squad leaders of the cooking class have tasted it. The taste is indeed more delicious than monosodium glutamate. It also has the smell of chicken, which is very unique. seasoning."

"The main raw materials are also convenient to come from. We can buy monosodium glutamate from Guizi County as the main ingredient, and add a few other ingredients to make it into chicken essence. Then we can sell it at a higher price. Earn a lot."

Kong Jie said: "I won't ask about the process, you just need to be sure about the taste, I just ask when it can be mass-produced."

Dong San thought for a while, and replied: "The ratio of seasonings must be determined. In addition, the repair shop has to prepare a set of equipment for producing chicken essence. All these things add up. If you want to mass-produce, the fastest is half the time." After a month."

Kong Jie said: "Then I will give you half a month. After half a month, the sale of this chicken essence must become one of the incomes of our independent group. How about it? Can it be done?"

Dong San replied: "Leader, don't worry!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After Dong San left, Kong Jie called Ye Min again, and first asked about the current situation in Yangquan.

Ye Minle said: "Hey, Commander, we have successfully blown up the medicines hoarded by the devils, and after the Yangquan devils' military hospital, the wounded soldiers of the devils are in a hurry to use medicines, and there is no medicine for them right now. That is a miserable situation."

"Mu Mu and the others just sneaked into the county town to investigate in the morning. Good guy, the little devil cremated several waves of wounded soldiers again!"

Kong Jie said: "Dead is good, I have already conveyed the order, and all battalions will cooperate with you at any time. Keep an eye on your side, and do not let any roads that may enter Yangquan be missed. Don't let any medicines from the devils enter." Yangquan."

"Death is not necessarily terrible. I just want to let these devils and wounded soldiers wait to die. This is the scariest thing."

"Why, do you think I'm cruel?"

Ye Min hurriedly shook his head and said, "Where is this? Commander, I just think this is too fucking embarrassing."

"Compared to the cruelty that the little devil inflicted on our Chinese nation, what we have done is nothing more than a case in point." Kong Jie said in a deep voice.

……

……

Yangquan.

The real situation is even more tragic than Ye Min's understatement.

Of course, this misery is only for the Japanese invaders in Yangquan.

In the first battle in Zhangjiazhuang, although the Ishii unit successfully evacuated, it brought back a large number of wounded soldiers. There were more than 200 seriously injured and 800 slightly injured.

In hot weapons wars, wounded soldiers retreating from the battlefield can easily die of wound infection. Even if it is a small wound, if it is not treated in time, once the infection worsens, it can also endanger the life of the wounded soldier.

Just at this time, the commando blew up all kinds of antibacterial and anti-infective drugs hoarded by the Yangquan devils in one fell swoop.

Didn't this kill the devil's wounded soldier?

Kazuo Kawashima, the military doctor of the Devils, told Ishii Haraichi that these wounded soldiers can last up to five days at most, and the wounds will start to become infected. As time goes on, the situation will gradually deteriorate.

Ishiihara didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly asked the surrounding counties for help, preparing to deliver a batch of medicines from Shouyang, Tan County and other places.

Everything had been discussed, but the team transporting the medicines was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops on the way. Some of the medicines were taken away, and some were directly blown up.

The medicines that were originally planned to be delivered by three routes were all destroyed without exception.

When the news reached Yangquan, Ishii Yuanyi, the leader of the Devils Alliance, was completely furious.

"These damned Eighth Route Army, what are they going to do?"

Then, under the arrangement of Ishii Haruichi, Shouyang and Tan County and other places transported medicines to Yangquan at night.

It's a pity that Ishiihara probably didn't expect the power of the independent regiment's enemy engineering department, which had already completely infiltrated Yangquan and the surrounding counties.

Even the puppet army guarding the gate of the city has an internal response from the enemy industry department of the independent regiment.

In this way, the news that the devils delivered medicines in the middle of the night still reached Kong Jie's ears. Kong Jie immediately arranged a blocking team, and robbed the medicines sent to Yangquan on the way.

After tossing back and forth, two days passed, and the slightly injured devil soldiers were better, while the seriously wounded wounds festered much faster, and gradually they couldn't hold on anymore, and the seriously wounded devil soldiers died every day.

In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka, who heard the news, was so furious that he quickly increased his troops in Shouyang, arranged a full-staffed brigade directly from Shouyang, and escorted a batch of medicines all the way to Yangquan, which solved the wounded soldiers of the Yangquan devils The plight of lack of medicines.

In the end, due to the delay in medication, nearly half of the devil's seriously wounded died.

The angry Ishiihara made repeated oaths, and the Indestructible Independence Group vowed not to give up.

……

Taiyuan City.

The headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

Commander Yoshio Shinozuka sat in the main seat, and Kazuki Yamamoto and Kazuki Ishiihara sat in the second seats. At this moment, the two masters of the Japanese army lowered their heads.

Until Shinozuka Yoshio said: "Yamamoto-kun, Ishii-kun, raise your head."

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto and Ishiihara raised their heads.

"General—"

Yoshio Shinozuka raised his hand and said in relief: "Needless to say, the failure this time is not only due to you, but also because of my insufficient intelligence collection and lack of understanding of this independent group. It is because we underestimated this independent group. group."

"Your Excellency, Commander, has sent an order that a spring sweep of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area will be launched on the twelfth."

"I think you all know a thing or two about the purpose of this sweep. On the one hand, it is to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army and destroy the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas in the occupied areas. March south."

"And what I need you to do is to focus on this independent regiment in this big sweep, and destroy it in one fell swoop with the help of soldiers."

"If the strength of a wing is not enough, then a brigade will equip you with tank units, and air support can arrive at any time. Not only this independent regiment, but also the new first and second regiments around it must be uprooted. .”

"Hi!" Yamamoto and Ishiihara responded in unison.

Ishiihara was thinking in his heart that a big sweep would be launched on the twelfth, that is to say, in less than two days, the opportunity of avenging his shame was imminent, and this time the independent group would definitely be smashed to pieces.

"As for launching the spring raids against the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army continued to appease them as usual to prevent them from interfering in our battle with the Eighth Route Army."

"The more ferocious our Empire of Japan's raid on the Eighth Route Army is, the more it can paralyze the Central Army in southern Shanxi. How could they think that we are attacking the Eighth Route Army with all our strength in front of us, and then turn our guns around the next moment?" How about attacking him to the south of Shanxi?"

"Our selfish opponents often talk about the truth that our lips are dead and our teeth are cold, but we will never really understand it."
