The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 558 Ding Wei's entrustment is not bad luck but an opportunity (seeking a monthly ticket)
After returning to the base area, Kong Jie leisurely returned to the regiment headquarters, ignored the busy Li Wenjie, and connected the Xinyi regiment headquarters.

"Hi, I'm Kong Jie, pick up your regiment leader Ding Wei!"

New regiment, regiment headquarters.

The communications soldier answered the phone and turned around to report: "Reporting Commander, it's Commander Kong calling, looking for you."

"Old Kong, this guy is really free enough. If you have nothing to do, you can call me. Didn't you come to chat with me?"

Ding Wei muttered, and walked over to answer the phone in two or three steps.

"Hey, old Kong, it's me, Ding Wei."

On the other end of the phone, Kong Jie said with a smile: "Old Ding, we haven't seen each other for a while, why don't you spare some time to come over and let our old comrades get together?"

Ding Wei scolded with a smile: "Don't, we met half a month ago, and it's not from the big girl's family. We haven't seen each other for three days. Do you still think about it?"

Kong Jie said: "Okay, let's get down to business, old Ding, come to my independent group to have a look, and I'll take you to meet an old friend."

"Old friend?" Ding Wei was puzzled.

Kong Jie said: "Lv Shunmin, commander of the 28rd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, what's up, old Ding, just tell me if you've seen him or not?"

Ding Wei was surprised and said: "The third battalion commander? Why did this kid go to your independent regiment?"

This trip to the Tianjin Concession to pick up a group of experts, professors, and representatives was done in secret, so Ding Wei and Li Yunlong did not actually receive any news.

Now that the task has been completed and he has returned to Genji Land smoothly, there is no need to keep this matter a secret.

Kong Jie told Ding Wei the whole story.

Only then did Ding Wei know that Kong Jie hadn't been in the base area at all during the past two weeks, but had wandered around the Tianjin Concession.

"The third battalion commander is always smart, how could he be easily injured? How is the situation?"

On the other end of the phone, when talking about the injuries of his old subordinates, Ding Wei's words were full of worry.

Kong Jie said: "Don't worry, fortunately, it was sent here in time. With the medical level of my independent group, the injury has stabilized. If you rest for a while, you will almost recover."

Only then did Ding Wei feel relieved, but he noticed a new problem: "This matter is not that simple. The third battalion commander was seriously injured. The situation in Jizhong may not be good."

"It seems that this trip is a must!"

After hanging up the phone, the decisive Ding Wei made up his mind and rushed to the independent group without stopping.

In the medical center of the independent regiment, Ding Wei met Lu Shunmin, the veteran who he had been away for more than a year.

"Captain!"

Lu Shunmin, who was resting on the hospital bed, saw Ding Wei, and was about to get out of bed to salute in excitement, his eyes turned red in an instant.

Ding Wei quickly went up to hold Lu Shunmin down, "If you are injured, you should rest well, and don't pay attention to these trivial etiquette."

Lu Shunmin, who couldn't understand Ding Wei's temperament very well, lay on the hospital bed honestly and saluted Ding Wei, and said with a choked voice:

"Old leader, I finally see you again!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when they talked about the past in Jizhong, they all sighed with emotion.

Lu Shunmin sighed: "Old regiment leader, I think back when you led our 28th regiment in Jizhong, how beautiful it was, fighting devils everywhere, and the size of the army developed in less than a year."

"But later, oh..."

Ding Wei frowned and said, "What happened afterwards? Also, Shunmin, you have a cautious personality, and you won't fight lightly if you are not sure. How could you suffer such a serious injury?"

Lu Shunmin smiled wryly: "After the Hundred Regiments War, the Japanese army launched sweeps again and again against our Jizhong base.

Due to the plain terrain in most of Jizhong, the transportation of the Japanese army was convenient, and the mopping up offensive came quickly.In the process of breaking out of the siege, the troops I led accidentally caught the devil's way. "

"When the two sides exchanged fire, the devil pretended to be defeated, and then hid the artillery position behind. We just rushed over, and we were covered by the devil's fierce firepower."

"The place where the battle was fought was too flat, and we didn't mention building fortifications in advance. The Japanese army hid four or five heavy machine guns in advance. When the fire broke out suddenly, the soldiers could not rush up or retreat."

"A battalion of men and horses! The fight took less than half an hour, and more than half of the casualties!"

Ding Wei was annoyed when he heard it, and he slammed his clenched fists on the bed, "This battle is too useless."

Lu Shunmin continued: "Fortunately, the commander of the second battalion led troops to support us in time and covered the retreat of our third battalion. I was unlucky during the retreat. I was accidentally hit by a devil's shell and was seriously injured."

"What happened to the 28th regiment?" Ding Wei asked.

Lu Shunmin said: "We broke through the encirclement several times, and we finally broke through. The casualties of the whole regiment exceeded one-third."

"There were a lot of seriously injured people, and most of them died before they could be treated. Those of us who persevered until the end were taken to the Taihang base on the merchant ship that Captain Kong and the others came down from the waterway."

Ding Wei was silent. While digesting the information, he was full of anger and pain.

Lu Shunmin said more than one-third of the casualties, in Ding Wei's view, this is not just a series of numbers, perhaps including too many familiar faces, familiar people and familiar names.

That was his old subordinate in the past, a comrade in arms who once fought side by side.

But as the head of the regiment, Ding Wei would never allow the grief in his heart to interfere with his judgment. He collected himself, patted Lu Shunmin's shoulder lightly, and said in relief:

"Shunmin, since you're here, don't worry about these things anymore. When you come to Lao Kong, you should eat and drink. The food of his independent group can be said to be the best in the entire Taihang base area. Eat more, you The injury can also heal faster."

"As for the 28th regiment and the situation in Jizhong, comrades who have died, let's keep this pain and memory in our hearts!"

"From a long-term perspective, this time you were seriously injured and sent to the base of the independent regiment. It may not be bad luck, but an opportunity."

Lu Shunmin wiped his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Old leader, what do you mean by this?"

Ding Wei said: "Let me ask you, compared to the Taihang base area, is the situation of our Jizhong confrontation with the enemy more dangerous?"

Lu Shunmin nodded.

"why?"

"Because most of our Jizhong Military Region is in the plains, we can't use the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare like the Taihang base area on the plains. We can fight but retreat. The Japanese army's mopping forces are highly mobile and fast in support. They often carry out anti-mopping operations. We The troops will even be divided and surrounded by the devils."

Ding Wei nodded and said, "When I was the head of the 28th Regiment, I've been thinking about it."

"Compared to the vast guerrilla mountainous areas in the Taihang area, the plains in Jizhong are too terrible."

"The two sides, one is guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and the other is fighting on the plains. The specific combat methods must not be generalized."

"Now, the Taihang base area has found the right direction to use the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, but what is the most suitable tactic for the Jizhong base area?"

"I didn't think of a good solution before, until not long ago, when the Japanese army launched a big raid on the Taihang base area."

"During the anti-sweeping process, the independent regiment's successful combat in an open area similar to the terrain of the Jizhong Plain directly awakened me."

"During that battle, a platoon of soldiers from the Independence Regiment forcibly held back the attack of a squadron of the Japanese army until reinforcements from the Independence Regiment arrived and surrounded and annihilated the squadron's devils."

"In the end, the battle was completely over, and less than one-third of the soldiers in that platoon died."

Lu Shunmin was shocked: "The old regiment leader said that the plain terrain is basically the same as our Jizhong Military Region. A platoon of soldiers from the Independence Regiment dragged down a squadron of Japanese troops abruptly? That is nearly ten times the number of Japanese troops. !"

Ding Wei nodded.

"This is simply unbelievable, old commander, how did this battle end?" Lu Shunmin asked hastily.

Ding Wei said: "Aside from the well-trained and well-equipped fighters of the independent regiment, the most important thing is that they used tunnel tactics in this battle."

"Tunnel tactics?"

"Or you can say tunnel warfare. I haven't read the specifics, but I heard from Lao Kong that it is the most suitable guerrilla warfare method on plain terrain."

"Using the method of soil work, a large number of tunnels are dug in the village and surrounding areas. The tunnels are connected with the tunnels, the village is connected with the outside of the village, and the village is connected with the surrounding fortifications, so as to secretly transfer troops to attack, infiltrate, harass, and avoid. , is an alternative plain guerrilla warfare method.”

"Old Kong's original words are that we have no mountainous areas to use for guerrilla warfare on the plains, just like earthworms and pangolins, trying to dig out channels for various combat functions underground, that is the depth and depth we use for guerrilla warfare. fortification."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei reminded: "So I say, your coming to the independent regiment base this time is not a bad luck, but an opportunity."

"During the recuperation period, you don't have to rush back to the Jizhong Military Region, but you have to take a good look at the roots of the independent regiment and learn."

"Especially regarding the way the independent regiment conducts tunnel operations on gentle terrain, the independent regiment is very experienced. You can ask Commander Kong for more advice."

"Study thoroughly all aspects of their use of tunnel warfare."

"After returning to Jizhong, I believe that similar to the independent regiment's method of using tunnel warfare to conduct guerrilla warfare on flat terrain, if it can be promoted, it will definitely play a big role in advancing guerrilla warfare in our Jizhong base area."

"In other words, Shunmin, you are not here to recuperate your injuries, but more importantly, you are here to study as a student."

Lu Shunmin came back to his senses, and immediately responded: "Yes, old commander, I promise to complete the task and bring back the authentic tactics of Commander Kong!"

Ding Wei said: "Not only tunnel warfare, but also other aspects should be studied. If it is not possible, after returning to Jizhong, apply directly to the headquarters, and get Lao Kong to give lectures in Jizhong."

"For more than a year, Lao Kong has undergone earth-shaking changes. When you are recovering from your injuries, take a good look at the internal development of the independent group, and you will know."

"Learn more from the independent group, this place is full of treasures!"

"Yes!"

……

After leaving the clinic, Kong Jie invited Ding Wei to drink.

Seeing Kong Jie's leisurely look, Ding Wei said suspiciously: "I said, old Kong, your independent group is not small now, even comparable to two or three new groups. That's it, I'm busy in the new group. It's also going around, why do you look like a big idler?"

Kong Jiele said: "There is no war right now, the regiment's political commissars and battalion commanders are involved. What can I do?"

Seeing Ding Wei dumbfounded, Kong Jie explained to Ding Wei by breaking his fingers:
"Look, Wenjie is in charge of the internal political work of this regiment, whether it's giving ideas to the soldiers or training political cadres! There are also the instructors and instructors below, and I can't do anything about it."

"Doing business with various regiments, setting up factories, managing and controlling the economic development, setting up schools, engaging in education, as well as organizing some activities within the regiment, providing psychological counseling for soldiers, the development of migrant labor groups, sneering campaigns, etc., Wenjie is responsible for all these, so why should I worry?"

"Even if it's team training, this matter should have been handed over to the chief of staff, but our independent regiment doesn't have a chief of staff yet, so I'll hand it over to the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander. This is the responsibility of the company chief of staff." The work has also been replaced, which round will I be the team leader?"

"That's it, as long as there is no war, hey, I'm not bragging, we are the most leisurely leader."

Ding Wei: "..."

It's really more popular than people. Old Kong, this guy, can he still play like this?
The bigger the chassis of the house, the more leisurely this old Kong will be.

Ding Wei thought about it for a while, this is not good, he can't just live a leisurely life with his old Kong, we have to learn this way.

How good it is to throw away the shopkeeper...

Poor political commissar He of the Xinyi regiment who is tired and complaining endlessly in the future, if he knows that the instigator of this incident is actually Kong Jie, he will scold his mother face to face.

When Kong Jie asked, what did Ding Wei chat with Lu Shunmin in the medical center.

Ding Wei talked about his idea of ​​promoting tunnel warfare in Jizhong, and finally added: "Old Kong, while Lu Shunmin is here, you have to teach him well. This matter is my old comrade-in-arms. Please have a good drink!"

Kong Jie was stunned.

What's more in my heart is my admiration for Ding Wei's vision.

Kong Jie, who stood on the shoulders of giants, certainly knew how difficult it was to fight the Japanese army in the Jizhong Plain.

As for tunnel warfare, it was not until this fall that the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the Jizhong base who had suffered heavy casualties after the Japanese army raided them again and again thought of the application of tunnel warfare.

In fact, Kong Jie has always been thinking about extending the application of authentic tactics to Jizhong after the independent regiment is perfected!

Especially in advance of next year's May Day sweep.

What I didn't expect was that Ding Wei was the first to put forward the idea of ​​applying tunnel warfare to the Jizhong base.

For this, Kong Jie had to admire, if he hadn't stood on the shoulders of giants, he might not have the insight of Ding Wei.

"Don't worry, Lao Ding, this matter is on my shoulders. The plain terrain in Jizhong really needs to be coordinated with tunnel tactics. I have long thought about extending this tactic to the Jizhong base. This time the third battalion commander If you’re here, you’re on the right track.”

"While the commander of the third battalion is recuperating, I will never hide it privately. If necessary, I can even go to Jizhong in person. I just hope that this authentic tactic can be promoted earlier and applied to the entire Jizhong as soon as possible to deal with it. The raid by the Japanese army."

Ding Wei nodded and raised his glass with a smile.

"Old Kong, just drink this, and I'll toast you!"

Bang Dang, after Gongchoujiao missed it, this matter is settled like this...
