The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 635 Arrogantly rushing to the new battlefield in southern Shanxi
"Once the battle begins, the artillery battalion will take the lead in tearing a gap in the enemy's line, and then the semi-mechanized heavy battalion will send mobile combat troops to quickly open, stabilize and expand the gap, covering our main combat troops to rush out all the way!"

"As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to use a soldier for a short time. We have spent so much effort and put up such a big shelf. When the battle breaks out, I really hope to see the little devil completely stunned and panicked. "

Kong Jie spoke with a confident smile on his face.

With the family background of the first team, even if they fight the devils on the frontal battlefield, they may not necessarily lose the wind.

On the battlefield behind enemy lines, that is the home field of our Eighth Route Army.

With these more and more adequate preparations, Kong Jie is completely worthwhile in the face of the upcoming May [-]th raid.

After most of the day's visit, the chief of staff, Xu Guoan, also experienced a sharp increase in pressure.

In the Eighth Route Army, you can eat as much food as you have feet, shoes, and pots.

Kong Jie's team is developing well, and the hard power of the first team is strong, which is of course a good thing.

However, this also means that the first anti-Japanese detachment in Northwest Shanxi will assume more combat tasks and responsibilities.

Facing such a strong first team, once the devils set off a big raid, the first team will definitely bear the brunt.

It will be much more difficult to command the first team with a big family and a big business.

This can be said to be a considerable test for the commander's strategic and tactical literacy.

In this regard, Captain Kong is full of confidence. The independent group was originally developed from him.

For more than a year, under the command of Kong Jie, the independent regiment has won one battle after another, which is obvious to all.

Kong Jie's command of the entire detachment can be said to be instructive, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it.

But Xu Guoan, chief of staff, was different. He had just joined the first detachment, and he still didn't know much about many situations in the detachment.

Especially after visiting the semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion and the artillery battalion, Xu Guoan knew that the detachment he was facing had strong hard power, which meant that he had to improve his tactical and strategic vision accordingly.

Only then can he be qualified for the job of the chief of staff of the detachment.

These are not some ordinary Eighth Route Army combat units with outdated equipment and scarce ammunition. It does not mean that they can fight guerrilla warfare, but mobile warfare and ambush warfare are fine.

The coordination of infantry and artillery, the coordination of semi-mechanized heavy battalions and artillery, the joint operations of assault troops of each battalion and the main force...

This kind of coordinated operations involving multiple arms will be much more difficult to command and deploy.

Under double pressure, Xu Guoan confided to Kong Jie humbly:

"Old Kong, you applied to the brigade headquarters to transfer me to your first detachment as the chief of staff. To be honest, I am very grateful to you."

"But in the same way, your first detachment has four regiments under its jurisdiction. Whether it is the economic construction of the base area or the military development, it has far exceeded my expectations."

"It's like my old Xu was ready to bear the burden of two hundred catties, but your old Kong directly threw two thousand catties at me. There was no other result except to directly crush me."

"In my work from now on, old Kong, the first one is the teacher. I will humbly ask you for advice!"

Ha ha ha ha--

Kong Jie laughed loudly and said, "Old Xu, I am aware of your ability. It may just be a lack of a process of adaptation. Don't worry, if our old comrades join forces, our first team will smash the entire Sanjin to the sky." , is not necessarily impossible.”

Domineering words.

For the first time, Chief of Staff Xu deeply felt the unique personal charm of Commander Kong.

I don't know how long it has been since I was so excited.

It's done!

……

end of August.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters, after analyzing and considering Kong Jie's first implementation of streamlining troops and streamlining administration in his independent regiment, reported the specific content to Yan'an.

Soon after, an order came from Yan'an to implement the policy of streamlining troops and simplifying administration in the entire Taihang and Taiyuegen areas, and gradually spread to other base areas such as Jizhong.

At the same time, after receiving the order from the headquarters, the brigade commander personally issued an order to Kong Jie for the first detachment to send troops to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, escort the comrades of the Yujin District Committee, and open an anti-Japanese revolutionary base area in Zhongtiao Mountain.

On the phone, the brigade commander made it clear:
"Kong Jie, I have applied for the greatest military sovereignty for you. How to reinforce, when to go, how many troops to send, these are all decided by your first detachment."

"There is only one request, to successfully reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, relieve the pressure on the enemy from the three mountain companies, and ensure the safety of the comrades of the Henan-Shanxi District Committee along the way."

"The brigade headquarters and headquarters are currently suffering from the pressure of the Japanese blockade, as well as the increasing number of local and foreign disaster victims. I am afraid that there is no extra force to support your first detachment."

Kong Jie was naturally overjoyed, what he was waiting for was the brigade commander's words.

"Please rest assured, Brigadier, no reinforcements are needed, my first team promises to complete the task!"

After hanging up the phone, the surprised Kong Jie held a military meeting directly at the headquarters.

What was discussed at the meeting was how to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

Kong Jie, who was planning for a rainy day, had already held several meetings with the soldiers before the order from the brigade headquarters arrived to discuss the details of how to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain.

Now that the heads of the various regiments are coming again, they are familiar with the road and go straight to the topic.

As for the candidates and troops to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain, Kong Jie had already decided.

Wang Huaibao, head of the Fourth Regiment, is in charge.

In this regard, the second regiment leader Wang Leihu and the third regiment leader Shen Quan still fought for it.

For nothing else, everyone is an old comrade in arms who depended on each other for life and death.

We all know that going to Zhongtiao Mountain to re-open the anti-Japanese revolutionary base has been hard work. It can be said that it is a long and difficult road, which is full of too many uncertainties.

In contrast, the current station has a solid base, a good economic foundation, and the old regiment leader Kong Jie is in charge.

The soldiers have enough food, warm clothes, and never worry about equipment and ammunition.

Life will be much easier.

Therefore, the two regiment leaders fought fiercely, more because of their determination and arrogance to fight against the Japanese cause, and believed that such danger should be borne by themselves.

Among them, the independent regiment is not considered, and the leader of the regiment, Kong Jie, has to sit in the detachment!
"When our independent regiment was first established, there was my first battalion. This time to Zhongtiao Mountain, the task is arduous, and my second regiment must be responsible."

Wang Leihu opened his mouth firmly.

Shen Quan said happily: "Lei Hu, your first battalion and my second battalion were established at the same time, so seniority should be compared, so don't make fun of each other."

"At present, the national army has just suffered a disastrous defeat in the area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain. We basically have no foundation there. What we need is a commander who is flexible and can adapt to changes. Can you do it?"

"I……"

"Besides, there is Han Feng's mountain company in Zhongtiao Mountain. Han Feng was originally the deputy company commander of my second battalion. This time, my third regiment will go there. It's justified. Just look at it, the regiment leader must be sure." I have to assign this task to my third regiment."

"I think it must be my second regiment!" Wang Leihu was not to be outdone.

The commander of the fourth regiment on the side, Wang Huaibao, the former commander of the third battalion of the independent regiment, smiled without saying a word, watching Shen Quan and Wang Leihu vying for each other.

Grab it!

I'm not going to tell you two anyway:

The head of the group has already disclosed the news to me in advance, and my fourth group will be responsible for going to Zhongtiao Mountain this time.

When our Lao Wang goes to Zhongtiao Mountain, it will not be easy if we want to see the second regiment leader and the third regiment leader bickering, so let's enjoy it before we leave.

Look, grab the bamboo shoots...

"Old Wang, you are a bystander. As the ancients said well, a bystander is clear. Tell me, will the leader send my second regiment or Lao Shen's third regiment to Zhongtiao Mountain this time?"

Wang Leihu asked suddenly.

Shen Quan also looked over at the same time, and they were quite convinced by the image of an honest man, the head of the fourth regiment, Wang Huaibao, who "generally does not speak, and speaks the truth".

Wang Huaibao: "..."

... "What? Fourth Regiment? Send Pharaoh???"

Command.

When Kong Jie announced his plan, Wang Leihu and Shen Quan stared at each other, and they were stunned.

Damn it, we were fighting to the death here, but it turned out to be a good thing, Cheng Yaojin broke out halfway.

However, Wang Huaibao had an innocent face, and no one could fake it if he saw it.

Shen Quan and Wang Leihu wanted to argue a few more words.

It is said that the third battalion was established for a short period of time, and there is still a slight gap compared with the second and third battalions.

Kong Jie directly said: "Okay, you two don't argue, the matter is settled like this, your second and third regiments stay in Genji, and there is still a big battle waiting for you, what's the rush?"

Kong Jie gave the death order, Shen Quan and Wang Leihu had no choice but to obey the command honestly...

Back to the present.

News came that the headquarters sent the first detachment to reinforce Zhongtiao Mountain and open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base.

Detachment Command.

The three regiment leaders, Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, and Wang Huaibao, together with Chief of Staff Xu Guoan and Political Commissar Li Wenjie, discussed the battle map to determine the specific deployment and route for reinforcements to the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Before that, the specific reinforcement route has been determined.

Shen Quan said: "Regimental Commander, then we will still follow the results of the previous discussion, and my third regiment will be placed in the Qinshui area to cover the flanks of the fourth regiment."

Wang Leihu said: "My second regiment is responsible for stopping the Japanese and puppet troops along the way."

This is the general combat mission of the second and third regiments.

Kong Jie nodded and said, "Send our Henan-Shanxi District Party Committee to the designated safe zone first."

"The strength of the four regiments is gathered together, and the target is too big. This time, it is divided into three troops and transported separately."

"One part will be launched in the area east of Jiang County and north of Yuan County as scheduled; one part will be launched in the area north of Ji County; and the last part will be launched in Qinshui and Yicheng areas south of Qugao Highway."

"In addition, Han Feng's mountain company, which is active in Zhongtiao Mountain, has already contacted in advance, and they will respond in time at these three places."

"After the troops enter the expected area, they will be broken up into parts. Companies and platoons can be used as units to disperse activities, assist localities in establishing an anti-Japanese regime and armed forces, and try to open up base areas and gain a firm foothold."

This is a deployment that has been discussed before, and the cadres nodded one after another.

Kong Jie added: "In addition, the first regiment, including the county brigade, district squad, and our local militia comrades, and even some standing migrant labor groups accompanying the army, such as the first migrant worker regiment led by Xie Baoqing, will also participate in this Cover diversion."

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan hesitated and said: "Old Kong, isn't this kind of battle too noisy? The size of our four regiments is already eye-catching."

Several other heads also cast puzzled eyes.

Kong Jie said in a deep voice: "What we want is to be blatant. During this time, the devils are obviously accumulating strength and turning from offense to defense. If we don't catch these little devils, how can we fight?"

All the cadres were stunned.

Kong Jie continued: "In addition, everyone is aware of the current situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. If you say that Han Feng is really capable, he is relying on the cover-up method of moving more than 100 kilometers to force the strength of a regiment. Forcibly holding back nearly two divisions of the Japanese army."

"It can't be true if it's fake. After a long time, the Japanese army will soon notice the tricks in the Zhongtiao Mountain area."

"We are now reinforcing the Fourth Regiment heading to Zhongtiao Mountain, and the whole regiment has only over 300 people. If we clearly expose our strength to the little devil, even if we reach Zhongtiao Mountain, it will cause little trouble. Is it the devil's panic?"

"Once the devils figure out the situation, the two divisions that were originally placed on Zhongtiao Mountain to guard against the mountain company will be able to send reinforcements in the direction of Taiyuan City as soon as they turn their heads."

"So, we have to tell the little devils blatantly, even with great fanfare, that we are going south to Zhongtiao Mountain to open up an anti-Japanese revolutionary base."

"And it's a large-scale reinforcement. There's the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment, as well as the migrant workers' corps, local comrades, and militia troops. After the devils collect the information, they'll probably be stunned. There's no trouble at all. Know exactly how many teams we sent south to Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Coupled with the delusion of the three mountain companies in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the devil's two divisions just want to move, and they don't have the courage for the time being!"

After Kong Jie said that, all the cadres suddenly realized that they had to admire their regiment leader's courage in using troops.
