The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 465 The Iron Triangle Officially Establishes Its Prestige
On the 22th.

It was only two days before the end of the Japanese army's spring raids and the disastrous defeats in Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang.

On the part of the Japanese army, after the withdrawal of the sweeping troops, they temporarily entered a state of rest and did not see any action.

Instead, all parties in the Chinese military expressed their views one after another.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Yan Laoxi from the Second War Zone Commander's Department personally notified the Eighth Route Army of the award, and strongly affirmed the outstanding achievements of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang base area in this anti-mopping up campaign.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle was commended for its outstanding performance in this battle.

In particular, the independent regiment shined brilliantly in the anti-sweeping campaign.

"Invigorate the armed forces...inspired the anti-Japanese morale in the entire World War II zone...be a role model and set an example..." Yun Yun.

Then at eleven o'clock in the morning, no one could have imagined that the Eighth Route Army's anti-mopping up would directly alarm the Nationalist Government in Chongqing.

When the bald-headed chairman gave the commendation to the Eighth Route Army, he did not hesitate to praise it.

In terms of the level of ink painting, he was even better than Yan Laoxi in the World War II zone. In the eloquence, he insisted on writing a few hundred words of the award text.

But what actually happened?

At the brigade meeting, even the uneducated general Li Yunlong, who was born with mud legs, couldn't help but slapped the table and scolded: "This old Jiang is not real at all. What's the use of talking such nonsense? His mother Yes, if you really have the heart, even if you give me two machine guns!"

Ding Weile, who was sitting next to Li Yunlong's right hand, said, "I'm talking about Lao Li. Apart from commending the entire Eighth Route Army, the chairman of the committee is basically expressing his appreciation for the independent regiment. Old Kong didn't say anything. You're here Why are you in a hurry? Isn’t this a typical example of the emperor not being in a hurry and the eunuchs in a hurry?”

Hahahahaha-

The group leaders who participated in the meeting suddenly burst into laughter.

The political commissar said at this time: "Verbal rewards are verbal rewards! It's rare. Since the end of our Zhengtai campaign last year, not only the Japanese army, but even the national army have regarded our Eighth Route Army as a serious threat.

Although the united front is generally still there, it is actually not as stable as it was in previous years, and it has even reached a precarious point.

In this anti-sweeping campaign, we have achieved brilliant results.

The commotion was too great, and the Chongqing side probably couldn't sit still, so they could only take advantage of the trend and offer awards to appease the people. This is Lao Jiang's usual method.

As far as this matter is concerned, leaving aside the undercurrents in private, it is generally good.

At least the Chongqing side took the initiative to report the awards, which is enough to express to the troops of all parties across the country that our united front is still there, and we still need to unite to deal with the Japanese invaders. "

The brigade commander went on to say: "The political commissar is right. The success of this anti-sweeping operation, whether it is military or political, is a huge victory for our Eighth Route Army."

Speaking of this, the brigade commander paused, his eyes lingered on Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie for a moment, and then smiled at everyone:

"Comrades, this anti-mopping up, you have done a good job.

Being able to achieve such a great victory is inseparable from your command.

In Chongqing, Generalissimo Jiang likes to play tricks, but the brigade headquarters and headquarters will never forget the contributions and dedication of comrades.

The announcement of awards from the Chongqing side is over, and the headquarters and the brigade will hold a commendation meeting next! "

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Brigade Commander, I don't want any commendations or anything like that, old Li, can you do something practical?"

The brigade commander suppressed a smile, and cast a glance at Li Yunlong, "Li Yunlong, what do you want to be practical?"

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands together, and said, "Brigade Commander, I don't want much. This anti-sweep is to deal with the little devils and support Lao Kong's independent regiment. My new second regiment is about to lose even its fortune."

"If the ammunition is not replenished, next time the soldiers will fight the devils desperately with bayonets."

"Hey, brigade commander, we don't want commendations or anything like that. We Lao Li don't even care about getting promoted or getting rich. Just get me a hundred and eight bullets, and that's about it."

As soon as Li Yunlong's words fell, the conference room suddenly fell silent. The brigade commander looked around again, and saw that the eyes of all the regiment leaders present were green.

The implication is self-evident: Is there such a good thing?
At such a scene, the brigade commander secretly blamed Li Yunlong for his lack of vision.

Can this hole be opened blindly?
A regiment has [-] rounds of ammunition, how many regiments does our entire brigade have now?

Even if you ruined the brigade headquarters, you still can't make up so many bullets.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander coughed lightly, glared at Li Yunlong without changing his face, and said: "Li Yunlong, this old saying is good, the grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. Where did you consume the ammunition of your new second regiment? Find it somewhere."

"Ask me for bullets? Look at how much my head is worth, how many bullets I can change, and whether it is enough. You just take it."

Li Yunlong: "..."

The brigade commander who cheated, Lao Li couldn't stand it.

Kong Jie: "..."

There was a thump in my heart, and I thought it was bad, this kid Lao Li won't follow the order to collect debts, right?

Back in front of him, the brigade commander in front of him looked displeased, Li Yunlong quickly lost his smile and said: "Old brigade commander, how can this be possible?"

"You're right, the grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. Our old Li is not that foolish."

"Since you have given the order, old brigade commander, I, Li Yunlong, will resolutely complete the task!"

Kong Jie: "..."

Seeing the gloomy expression on Kong Jie's face, Li Yunlong was overjoyed in his heart:

Damn, our old Li is not stupid, he wants to take advantage of the brigade commander, unless the sun comes out in the west.

But after such a big victory this time, a lot of equipment and supplies have been seized. If you don’t take the initiative to call yourself poor, the brigade commander will come to the door and say "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

So our old Li calls it the first to act first.

Now you have got the decree, old Kong, old Kong, I see the wages for supporting your independent group this time, what else can you say?

The brigade commander's face darkened, knowing that he was being used by Li Yunlong, he immediately said: "Order, have I given any order?"

Kong Jie: "Report to the brigade commander, you didn't give any orders, and we didn't hear anything."

Li Yunlong: "..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Li was about to continue speaking, when the head of the [-]nd Regiment, who was seated not far from Lao Li, stood up with a clatter.

"Report to the brigade commander, I have something to report!"

The brigade commander said: "Say!"

Commander Cheng replied: "Brigade Commander, on the No. 17 day when the Japanese army launched a big raid, I led the main force of the whole regiment to ambush a Japanese army and successfully captured two infantry artillery.

When cleaning the battlefield later, the devil's main force from other directions suddenly surrounded him.

I didn't have time to move these two infantry guns, so I temporarily ordered them to be buried near Wuminggou.

But after the war, I led people to search everywhere, almost digging three feet into the ground, but I couldn't find these two infantry guns. "

"And this strange thing?" Ding Wei asked.

Li Yunlong, who was eager to speak at the side, suddenly calmed down, sat quietly in his seat, and just peeked at Captain Cheng not far away, without saying a word.

Head Feng of the newly formed Fifth Regiment also said with a gloomy face: "Old Cheng, don't tell me, the two of us are really unlucky to be together.

Our Fifth Regiment has just been formed. The regiment is poorly equipped and ammunition is scarce. Everyone knows the situation.

After the devil brigade went to encircle and suppress, we almost fell into the garrison.

Later, some comrades from the guard company and cavalry company sent by Lao Kong provided timely support, and then they joined forces to kill the Japanese squadron.

Later, they defeated the devil brigade who came to support them, and captured eight heavy machine guns and two infantry artillery for this purpose.

These guns and cannons are good things, even though they were damaged by cannon fire, I am reluctant to throw them away.

Later, mopping forces from other directions of the devil surrounded us, and before we had time to take away these heavy weapons, we buried them near the west slope.

As a result, I went back to look for it after the battle was over, but I really couldn't find anything, it was a hell. "

As a suffering brother, Captain Cheng expressed deep sympathy, and then analyzed: "Old Feng, you said that the cannons and weapons we buried will be dug away first?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Yunlong, who was a bit guilty, coughed dryly and said: "I said Cheng Xiazi, since the devils were wiped out in the battle, it was too late to take away the heavy weapons and bury them on the spot. How do you know that it was poached by someone?"

Captain Cheng said anxiously: "Where is the cannon buried, I asked the soldiers to mark it in advance, how could it be wrong?

But if you look back and say that nothing can be dug up, then someone must have dug it away. "

Li Yunlong glared, bounced his butt off the stool, and cursed: "Cheng Xiazi, what do you mean, boy? When you joined the army, who taught you how to shoot? You mean I can't dig it?"

Kong Jie on the side was a little dumbfounded, what kind of madness is Lao Li going on today?

Pulling Lao Li from the side, Kong Jie said, "Lao Li, why are you so anxious? Lao Cheng didn't say you dug it."

Suddenly returning to his senses, Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and his grinning expression immediately turned into a smile, "Oh--" and sat down on the stool again.

Head Feng laughed and said, "Old Cheng, don't worry, I lost eight more heavy machine guns than you!

What Lao Li said is also possible. Could it be that the situation was urgent at that time, and it was indeed buried in the wrong place, so it couldn't be dug up after returning?
If it was really poached, would it be the devils and puppet soldiers?

We also know that the devils have mine detectors in their hands, which are very sensitive to metal detection, and the guns we buried in the ground can be easily detected. "

"This..." Captain Cheng also hesitated, "It's really possible, forget it, and ask the surrounding villagers later to see which troops have been to the previous battlefield after our battle is over. "

Li Yunlong: "..."

Well, it's over...

"Old Li, what's the matter with you, you look so ugly?" Kong Jie, who had keen insight, asked with a half-smile.

When Captain Cheng and Captain Feng complained about the buried cannon being dug up, Kong Jie didn't think much about it, but now he calmed down and thought about it carefully.

Lao Li is probably the only one who can do such a bad thing.

Looking at Lao Li's anxious look before and his current expression, this matter is almost inseparable.

Kong Jie suddenly understood.

Li Yunlong turned his head to look at Kong Jie, turned his worry into joy and said, "I'm just worried that after I get to the independent group, how can I calculate my salary with your old Kong?"

Kong Jie gave a smirk, leaned closer to Li Yunlong's ear, and said in a low voice, "The eight heavy machine guns and four infantry guns that you dug out, old Li, are not enough for wages?"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, "Damn it, old Kong, you..."

……

The huge victory of this anti-sweep has greatly improved the increasingly difficult situation of the Eighth Route Army since the battle of Zhengtai.

This meeting is another commendation meeting. The atmosphere of the whole meeting is quite harmonious, and there are laughter from the generals from time to time.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour. The brigade commander and the political commissar respectively praised the regiment leaders and affirmed the achievements of each regiment in this raid.

In the end, the political commissar even smiled and said: "Comrades, in addition to commending you, the brigade commander and I have one more thing to announce, which is also the latest instruction from the headquarters.

From now on, our brigade, consisting of the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment, led by Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Li Yunlong, and the three regiments of the Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle, the joint defense base was formally established.

Everyone applaud! "

Thunderous applause sounded instantly, and cheerful smiles filled the faces of Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, three old comrades in arms.

From now on, the Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle is officially recognized by the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff smiled and said: "The formation of the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi is a gratifying event. In this anti-sweeping operation, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle led by Comrades Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, the joint The amazing performance in offense and defense is also seen by everyone."

"I think after this battle, the name of the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi will not only spread within our Eighth Route Army, but also in the Japanese, Puppet, Nationalist, and Jinsui Army."

"What do I want to say? Comrades Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei have set a good example for us."

"In the future, in the process of developing the base area and strengthening the defense construction, everyone is the head of the regiment, so you might as well use your brains more, or you can learn from the model of the three of Kong Jie and the others, and consider each other's garrison defense , whether it can be coordinated to achieve a more stable state."

"In this regard, the headquarters and the brigade department are encouraging and affirming everyone's attitude."

In fact, even if the chief of staff doesn't say it.

The brilliant performance of the Iron Triangle in this anti-sweep has long made other regiment leaders realize the power of joint operations and defense.

After returning, I probably have to think about which brother troops in the surrounding area should be combined to form an integrated fortification.

In this way, until the end of the commendation meeting held at the brigade headquarters.

Among them, the most named and praised ones are naturally Kong Jie and the independent group, and then the other two groups of the Audio-Technica, the new first group and the new second group.

So much so that during the whole meeting, Lao Li raised his big head, which basically didn't hang down...
