The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 488 Kong Jie's Response

Niukou Village.

Independent regiment.

The old Cao sent by Fang Pingshan not long ago reported the situation in Qinghe Village to Kong Jie.

These days, there are a lot of reports from the various troops in front, and they are generally integrated. Kong Jie realized that the Japanese army had already launched an action against the village.

Shen Quan, the second battalion commander who rushed to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, said: "Regiment commander, to sum it up, the devils seem to have learned a lot, and they also want to play three parts of military and seven parts of politics."

"On the one hand, the control of the village has been strengthened, and the Baojia Liansi system has been implemented. It is claimed that if one person has secretly connected eight channels, the whole village will suffer."

"On the other hand, the devils keep sending puppet troops and traitors to live in the villages as eyes and ears, and at the same time monitor our Eighth Route Army's contacts with the villagers."

"Not only that, but the little devil seems to want to work hard on the Huairou policy. I heard that recently, in various villages, condolence food has been distributed, and traitors and puppet soldiers have been sent into the villages to help the villagers clean the courtyard, carry water and firewood, etc. .”

"In addition, the devils recently expropriated a large number of people to build artillery strongholds, and dug a deep trench more than one foot wide between the villages, directly blocking the roads between the villages."

Kong Jie nodded, looked at the others, and asked, "What do you all think?"

First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu said: "Regimental Commander, it is obvious that since the commander-in-chief of the North China side of the devil was replaced by the old devil of Gangcun Ningji, the devil's strategy against our village seems to have changed a lot."

"Before, the devils mainly used force to suppress them, but now they are trying to win them over."

"The little devil wants to paralyze the people through the soft policy, and eat away at our base step by step." said Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion.

Wang Leihu had a headache, and said: "Head, if the little devil plays hard directly, we are not afraid, but now the devil wants to play dirty, it is really difficult to deal with.

I'm afraid that some of our folks are really deceived by devils.

Coupled with the Baojia Liansi system implemented by the little devil, if we want to start work in the village, it will be much more difficult. "

Shen Quan said: "Actually, our independent regiment is better. We have been winning battles for more than a year. Coupled with the planning of the regiment leader, we have established a certain organizational foundation in major villages in advance. The independent group is also quite trustworthy."

"It's not that easy for the devil to rely on the false means of these three melons and two dates to deceive the folks."

"The devil's so-called pro-people policy is to send condolences, and to help the villagers clean the yard, chop firewood and carry water. These are all fake tricks."

"There is no shortage of exorbitant taxes. Since when did the little devil really take the lives of our fellow villagers in his heart? The fox's tail has been exposed all the time, but it's just a fig leaf."

"But the situation in the base areas of our other teams is probably much worse. The devils suddenly use this gentle method of encroachment, and the brother troops may not be able to respond in time."

The cadres nodded one after another. The Second Battalion Commander was right, and this was exactly what everyone was worried about.

Lei Dasheng, the commander of the fourth battalion, said: "Not only that, but the little devils have changed their normal behavior recently. Usually, the devils and puppet troops mostly hide in the gun towers of the stronghold and will never leave the stronghold easily. But these two days, I don't know what the devils and puppet troops think , Team after team of ghost and puppet army patrols will patrol along the highway and railway lines every once in a while."

Shen Quan said: "Ningji Okamura, an old devil, is a bit interesting. After he took office, the tactics adopted by the previous commander-in-chief of the devil seem to be reversed everywhere."

"But even with this sudden reversal, many of our troops may be caught off guard."

"In the past, the devils and puppet troops hid in the strongholds, and the strongholds could not be moved, which meant that there was a lot of room for us to move. Now the devils have started to dispatch patrols. In this way, it will be much more difficult for us to move and gather. "

"Now it seems that everyone's expectations were good. The new Neiji Okamura seems to be more difficult to deal with than Hayao Tada."

Wang Leihu said: "The most interesting thing is that I don't know if this is the case in the area that your other battalions are responsible for defending. On my side, the garrison of the Japanese stronghold has suddenly increased a lot.

In addition, the devils began to build new gun towers around the original masonry gun towers.

Moreover, cement, sand, and gravel were also brought in. It seemed that the devil was planning to build a concrete blockhouse! "

"It's probably aimed at the artillery of our independent regiment!" Shen Quan said.

"The little devil has worked hard."

The cadres talked one after another, but Kong Jie didn't say much.

After Ningji Okamura took office, the tactical changes he adopted against the Eighth Route Army were actually similar to what Kong Jie expected.

As for countermeasures, Kong Jie has already been preparing.

After all the cadres expressed their views, Kong Jie finally made a final decision:

"Since the old devil Okamura has made a move, let's see what he does. Of course, passive defense is not the character of our independent regiment, and we have to take the initiative to attack."

"At present, our general response is still in three directions. First, increase the political offensive and launch anti-cannibalization campaigns. How can it be so easy for the Japanese army to use political means to win over our folks?
After all, the little devil is an invader from outside, and he doesn't understand the language. What kind of future can he have if he relies on a bunch of traitors who work for him?We are the people's soldiers who were born and bred. If we can't win the hearts of the little devils, we might as well go home and farm. "

The cadres all laughed when they heard it. The head of the group told the truth, and everyone was confident in this aspect.

Kong Jie continued: "Secondly, political offensive still needs military offensive as a supplementary means."

"The little devil wants to turn defense into offense, and actively calls out the garrison in the stronghold to patrol around, so as to guard against the movement and assembly of our Eighth Route Army and reduce our movement space.

If this is used against other regiments, it may be effective, but if the devils want to use it on our independent regiment, they are asking for trouble. "

"In response to the Japanese puppet army's active attack, we will have a series of countermeasures to deal with the offensive. We must fight the little devils to switch from offense to defense, and let me shrink into their turtle shells."

Shen Quan's head turned the fastest, and he understood Kong Jie's thoughts the most, he said happily: "Commander, if the devils really hide in the gun towers of the stronghold, we will not be able to fight even if we have artillery for attacking fortifications, but if the devils dare to take the initiative Come out, it will be much easier."

"Our sniper team tactics, our side bombs, mines and traps, the devils and puppet troops will regret leaving the stronghold sooner or later."

"I went to the repair shop two days ago and found that the explosives production room was full of explosive packs and coils full of wires. Dong San told me that the repair shop has been busy producing a large number of remote-controlled side bombs recently. I don’t have time to help us camp and repair guns, Captain, have you thought of this a long time ago?”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "As long as you have sharp eyes, yes, right after the anti-mopping up, I ordered the repair shop to make preparations. These side bombs will come in handy sooner or later."

"The devils and puppet troops have just left the stronghold, and patrolling around is just what I want. All I need is the side bomb, which is enough to blow up the devils and puppet troops with fear."

"As for the third point, the internal development of our base areas will continue and cannot be affected by peripheral military operations."

Li Wenjie, who is now the acting political commissar of the independent group, said with a smile: "In terms of internal development, please rest assured, the group leader is basically on the right track now."

"With the expansion of our guerrilla zone, the villages near our roots are relatively more stable, and our soldiers help the villagers reclaim a lot of land and develop farming. In addition, our taxes are so low that the villagers They even took the initiative to send more food, and it is definitely enough for the villagers to fill their stomachs."

"In addition to training, our soldiers will also devote themselves to farming, and will not become full-time personnel. After the crops are harvested, not to mention too much, self-sufficiency is definitely enough."

"In terms of foreign economic development, whether it is the counties, villages and towns in the Japanese-occupied areas, or the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the road has been successfully opened up."

"Our own briquette coal and briquette stoves have already been sold to the outside world, and the sales volume has been very good."

"In the follow-up, according to the team leader's plan, we will gradually build wineries, tobacco factories, and even chicken essence processing plants. At that time, the products we produce can be sold along the sales channels we have developed, and we will serve as an independent group. Provide a steady stream of income."

Kong Jie nodded, and asked: "We are doing business under the eyes of the enemy. We must ensure the concealment and safety of the process. Without these as prerequisites, the business chain we have built with great difficulty is very easy. would go bankrupt."

Wang Anying, the Minister of Enemy Industry who also participated in the meeting, said: "Commander, don't worry, since the head of the devil's Taiyuan City agency, Takeda Eijiro, and his successor, Kudo Takatoshi, were shot dead by us successively.

The leader of the devils in terms of intelligence has a gap.

Our comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry also took the opportunity to break into Taiyuan City. Today, the major counties in the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas basically have intelligence stations secretly established by our comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry. "

"There are these comrades who cover it, and the sellers we do business with are not our own comrades, some are entrusted by some smart and capable folks, and some are even sold by Japanese businessmen after multiple layers of camouflage. How could the little devil notice it?"

"As for the sales in the Kuomintang-controlled area, it's better to say that they sell it by their own people. The national army takes advantage of the war to make money from the country. They probably have been used to this kind of thing for a long time."

In this way, Kong Jie was indeed relieved a lot.

Then, Kong Jie asked again: "During this time, the troops of each battalion and company must cheer me up, not only to prepare for the counterattack of the Japanese army, but also to be prepared to defend against the Japanese army's attack at any time."

"In addition, the defense system of the village must be strengthened to prevent the infiltration of the Japanese army."

"I want to remind you that the Japanese are not stupid. Sending plainclothes troops to infiltrate our village is just a common method. They may even pretend to be our Eighth Route Army troops, and they can also speak fluent Chinese. , it’s hard to tell the truth from the fake.”

"That's why each army has strengthened its defensive measures, and each ministry must set up constantly changing passwords."

"In addition, Wen Jie, you have worked so hard on your side. You have worked so hard to strengthen the prevention awareness of the villagers and strengthen the villagers' awareness of distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy. If there is any unexpected situation, you must respond immediately, and the regiment headquarters must also respond immediately. Received the news."

Li Wenjie replied: "Leader, don't worry!"

"Also, in this anti-sweeping operation, the devils suffered a lot from our sniper platoon."

"The number of special shooters in the devil's team is no less than ours. In the front line defense, strengthen the awareness of counter-sniping. Be careful that the little devil has learned our methods and will also send snipers to counterattack us." Kong Jie finally explained.

The battalion commanders and instructors were also awakened and responded one after another.

After the meeting, the cadres left in twos and threes.

……

……

Qinghe Village.

For the villagers, it was just a matter of sleeping overnight, and when they woke up the next day, the group of Jiachang Baochang who had been shouting loudly yesterday seemed to have changed their attitudes. A 180-degree turn, and even took the initiative to bow and bow to say hello to the villagers.

morning.

"Folks, that Wang Ergou is dead!"

The news spread to Qinghe Village that Wang Erquan, the captain of the grain requisition, felt ashamed of being a traitor last night, hanged himself in fear of crime, and died in his own home.

When the villagers heard about this, they were all overjoyed. If it weren't for the armor chiefs and security chiefs around, everyone would applaud.

And some villagers with careful observation even noticed that these armor chiefs and security chiefs who were originally from the maintenance association even trembled when they heard the news.

Just last night, Fang Pingshan and Yang Jiebing parted ways.

Fang Pingshan directly cleaned up the traitor leader Wang Erquan, and forced Wang Erquan to write a suicide note in fear of crime, and then forged the situation of Wang Erquan committing suicide in fear of crime.

On Yang Jie's side, he took the rest of the martial arts team and comrades from the militia team, and took control of the chief armor and security chiefs of Qinghe village by night.

After a meal of coercion and lure, these traitors who came from the maintenance association to serve as armor chiefs and security chiefs were afraid of death, so they immediately became honest.

When the news of Wang Erquan hanged himself out of fear of crime spread to the village, the traitors were all shocked when they heard the news.

Those members of the martial arts team threatened them when they came to kill them last night. If they don't know what to do and continue to be traitors to the devils, they will end up like Wang Erquan.

These traitors originally thought that the martial arts team was looking for an opportunity to deal with the captain Wang Erquan.

Who would have thought that these elusive guys were so powerful that they actually made Wang Erquan commit suicide in fear of crime, and hanged himself in his own room.

You know, Wang Erquan's residence was in Tangyuan Town, which was a heavily guarded town by the Japanese army, but even so, Wang Erquan still died, or died in his own home.

I heard that when the devil's gendarmerie arrived, the situation at that time was just like what was written in Wang Erquan's suicide note. He was ashamed of being a traitor and committed suicide in fear of crime. Apart from this, no clues were found.

But the traitors in Qinghe Village knew very well that with Wang Erquan's character of succumbing to power, coveting life and fearing death, let him commit suicide?

Unless it's hell.

Obviously, it was definitely done by people from the martial arts team, or the martial arts team would not have threatened Wang Ergou's end in advance.

Thinking of this, these traitors trembled even more.

No matter how powerful the little devil is, such as Wang Erquan, what if he hides in the town and sleeps in his own home, he will still be killed by the Eight Route Army of the martial arts team.

It was made silent, and it was said that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

In fact, Ba Ye is too powerful.

Those traitors who once persuaded Wang Erquan are even more sad.

The little devils can't keep their lives, so what else can they do?I can only surrender to Master Ba!
Just like that, the attitude of the traitors in Qinghe Village towards the villagers has completely changed. As long as there are no devils coming to watch them, they will all be polite to the common people!
If the devils come, they will cooperate with the common people in acting, and when the devils leave, they will nod and bow down to apologize to the common people, lest they offend the eight-way grandfathers of the martial arts team who are watching in secret...
