The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 652 Kong Jie's Strategic Conception (seeking a monthly ticket)
After Kong Jie gave Dong San the design sketch of the anti-infantry directional fragmentation mine, that is, the broadsword mine.

After Dong San finished browsing, he was even more amazed.

Kong Jie said: "I have the blueprints and technology, and the next step is continuous experimentation. You don't have much time left. I'll give you two months to produce the first batch of directional fragment mines."

"How, can it be done?"

Dong San thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and nodded heavily: "Success, it's just... Captain, I have another request."

"Say, as long as you can complete the tasks on a regular basis, feel free to mention anything you need." Kong Jie said.

Dong San looked at Kong Jie and replied, "Hey, Commander, when we are developing and producing this new type of directional fragment mine, if there is a technical blind spot or something, I hope you can go to the repair shop for guidance at any time."

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's not a problem, but don't expect too much from me. I just know some concepts. When it comes to actual operation and specific production, I don't know anything about it." .”

Dong Sandao: "Yes, please rest assured, the leader, with your words, we promise to complete the task!"

Kong Jie: "..."

Looking at the back of Dong San leaving, Kong Jie was actually thinking about whether the early appearance of the Broadsword Landmine was a good thing or a bad thing.

After thinking about it, he finally made a judgment that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

From the immediate point of view, the Eighth Route Army has always been good at mine warfare, focusing on defense, while the Japanese army focuses on offense.

If the broad sword landmine appears, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings added to the Eighth Route Army.

From a long-term perspective, mastering the broadsword landmine technology earlier and developing it to perfection will also do more good than harm to the Chinese army's future foreign operations.

It's unknown how the Yankees screamed.

In addition, what Kong Jie intends is that after the mass production of this kind of directional fragmentation landmine.

Some of them will be kept in the Taihang base area for use, and another batch will be sent to the Jizhong base area.

Jizhong is a plain area with many open terrains, which is an excellent stage for broadsword landmines to play their role.

……

In mid-August, news from the Ministry of Enemy Industry came back from the major counties around the base area.

The Japanese army's assistance and resettlement of the victims in the occupied areas has initially shown signs of being unsustainable.

For example in Yangquan County.

After the little devil opened his mouth to publicize that he would rescue the victims in the occupied area, a large number of victims flocked to him, which was completely beyond the devil's expectation.

But the bull that has been blown out cannot be blown out so quickly.

On the contrary, the devils built a lot of refugee houses in some villages and towns, and provided some porridge and rice for the victims.

At first, it was barely maintained, but as the number of victims increased.

Since the Japanese army could not properly resettle these victims, the victims just blindly relied on the food distributed by the Japanese army to survive.

It didn't take long for the little devil to find that the granary had bottomed out, and he couldn't hold on anymore.

Originally, there were two meals of porridge a day, but it quickly became one meal, and then it was simply one meal for two or even three days.

The victims from other places dared not take them in at will anymore, the devils directly ordered the gates of the city to be controlled, and the victims from other places were no longer allowed to enter the city.

But it doesn't matter if it goes on like this.

The devil officers in the headquarters screamed angrily.

It has always been these hateful Chinese troublemakers who feed the Imperial Japanese Army with food and supplies.

Now it's fine, it's the other way around.

In this way, it didn't take long for the devils to start to behave differently. On the surface, they continued to promote the image of the Great Japanese Empire as being close to the people, and publicized the good deeds of helping the victims.

In private, a large number of disaster victims were gradually driven to the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

But the Propaganda Department and Intelligence Department of the Eighth Route Army are not for nothing.

The first independent detachment of the Anti-Japanese War in Northwest Shanxi.

As soon as the devils and puppet troops moved, the news spread to the detachment headquarters immediately.

Political Commissar Li Wenjie and Chief of Staff Xu Guoan discussed and immediately launched a propaganda war.

Comrades from the Department of Literature and Art and the Propaganda Department prepared materials one after another, and also performed some theatrical performances.

Reporter Xiao Song took photos of the first team defeating the Japanese army and bombarding the Japanese invaders on the front line.

Including the Japanese army beating the victims and forcibly deporting the victims to the base of the Eighth Route Army, many of them were secretly filmed.

These photos and reports were secretly disseminated through the intelligence lines of the first detachment to all major enemy-occupied areas.

The people, who already scoffed at the hypocrisy of the Japanese and puppet troops, became more and more aware of the hypocrisy of the little devil.

Poor those stupid Japanese invaders, who sang on the stage that their bad tricks of helping the victims have already been exposed, and they are still shy and pretending without knowing it.

The site of the Jinsui Army.

Chief Yan never imagined that the disaster had become so severe that he opened the door to rescue the victims, and a large number of victims flooded in like a tide.

Chief Yan was clever, he didn't drive the victims directly like a little devil.

Instead, he stated to the outside world that his Shanxi-Suijun Army has limited supplies and its ability to rescue the victims has reached its limit.

Then he called on the friendly Eighth Route Army troops to help receive and resettle the victims and tide over the difficulties together.

Listen, what a profound sense of righteousness, it seems that the credit for the Eighth Route Army's rescue of the victims has also been imposed on myself.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters did not make a corresponding counterattack.

From the perspective of all Eighth Route Army cadres:
Common people cannot be used to make articles.

Whoever is good to the people, the people have a steelyard in their hearts!

Since the little devil and the Jinsui army can't stand it anymore, and the bull that blows out is about to burst, let us the Eighth Route Army take the top.

After the detachment headquarters heard the news, Kong Jie said at the meeting:

"Receiving and helping resettle the victims, whether they are local or foreign, this is the duty and obligation of our Eighth Route Army. But this matter must be done in the open and with great fanfare, so as to prevent the devil from making trouble in the dark. "

"In this way, it is best to let the whole of Northwest Shanxi, even Shanxi, and North China know about the news."

"Since you don't have the ability to continue helping the victims, you little devil, let's come with the Eighth Route Army!"

"It's just an agreement. The two sides have temporarily agreed on an armistice agreement. You little devil can't take advantage of our Eighth Route Army to rescue the victims."

This incident was initially carried out by Kong Jie's first detachment and the Yangquan headquarters of the Japanese army.

Due to the good publicity of the first detachment, the news spread quickly, and all forces in Northwest Shanxi and even Shanxi heard about it.

Immediately afterwards, the armistice agreement between the two sides to "overcome the disaster together" rose to the level of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

China and Japan, including the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, had a rare tripartite meeting, and each party sent representatives to discuss the drought that has spread throughout the country in recent years.

And finally reached a temporary armistice agreement.

All parties are working together to deal with the drought.

As for why the little devil agreed to this agreement, the reason is very simple:
Devils are also human beings, and the troops of devils have to eat to fight wars, and the main source of income for supporting the devils is the tax revenue of the people in the areas occupied by devils.

It really starved the common people of China to death, and left an empty city for the little devils, who couldn't play it by themselves.

In addition, the devils want to stabilize the hearts of the people in the occupied area based on the policy of softness, so they can't risk the world's displeasure at this time and jump out to oppose the armistice, harming the people and aggravating the disaster.

Of course, a little devil with evil intentions would not be so pure.

Headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army Stationed in Taiyuan City, Shanxi.

When Yoshio Shinozuka was discussing this matter with a group of devil officers, his abacus was clattering.

On the one hand, it can alleviate the disaster situation and reduce the pressure on disaster relief in the occupied areas.

Secondly, if a large number of refugees are pushed to the root of the Eighth Route Army, if it can also drag down the internal economy of the Eighth Route Army's base area, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?
Thirdly, what a shameless little devil, saying that an armistice agreement was reached and no petty tricks, but in fact it is not the case at all.

The devil officers have long made up their minds, and with the help of the influx of refugees to the Eighth Route Army bases, they can secretly insert eyeliner and conduct unannounced investigations and unannounced visits to the Eighth Route Army bases.

It is even possible to engage in some small means to intentionally create chaos and disrupt order.

It laid the foundation for the follow-up to wipe out Taihang, Taiyue and other main forces of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop.

It's great not to carry out large-scale battles on the surface, just keep the general agreement.

For the Eighth Route Army troops.

As for Kong Jie and other military cadres of the Eighth Route Army, they were never naive enough to believe that little devils would be bound by a treaty.

Little devils don't care about international conventions, so why would they care about this little agreement?
What everyone wants is a short-term ceasefire on the surface to reduce the pressure of disaster relief.

Before the results of whether the Eighth Route Army base can successfully rescue and resettle the victims and assist in fighting the disaster come out.

The Japanese army, the Jinsui army and other forces who are waiting to see the jokes of the Eighth Route Army have no great possibility of making a move for the time being.

And what Kong Jie thinks about this is also very clear:

The devils and the Jinsui Army are waiting to see the jokes of our Eighth Route Army.

Not only was our Eighth Route Army not dragged down by the disaster, but even relying on the demographic dividend brought by the large number of victims who flooded into the base area, it will quickly develop its roots.

Even in terms of total economic output, it once crushed your Japanese-occupied areas in some areas, forming an economic crushing advantage, which in turn fought economic warfare.

At that time, it will be too late for you little devil to cry.

within the headquarters.

When Kong Jie mentioned his idea, Xu Qingnian, the finance minister of the first team, took it very seriously.

And expressed deep admiration for his head.

All the situation seems to be proceeding according to the blueprint of the base drawn by the regiment leader.

Establish the base's own financial system, stabilize the operating mechanism of the economy, and even one day, in a local area or even a large area, completely crush the devil's occupied area economically.

At that time, the idea of ​​defeating the little devil without bloodshed just by using banknotes, making the banknotes in the hands of the devils worthless, and thus dragging down the Japanese army may not be impossible.

This is the leader's advanced strategic vision for the development of the base area...
