The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 754

As the saying goes, it is better to buy than to save, and it is better to grab than to buy.

When the gun is fired, it is more than just a golden ten thousand taels.

The current disaster situation is serious, and the Eighth Route Army's base areas are flooded with disaster victims. If they can seize a large amount of food hoarded by the Japanese army through fighting.

This is definitely the most effective way to solve the internal pressure of the root and weaken the strength of the Japanese army.

If the public wants to do good things, they must first sharpen their tools.

In order to deploy the overall food robbery plan, Kong Jie spent a few days collecting information everywhere, and asked the staff to work hard to draw a map of the main railway lines in Shanxi and surrounding areas.

"This is the Tongpu Railway, which runs north-south and even runs through the entire Shanxi."

"This is the Zhengtai railway line that we launched last year in the Zhengtai campaign. It was mainly used to destroy the Zhengtai railway line. In the past six months, the little devil has been repaired again and again."

"Pinghan, Pingsui, Jinpu, Jiaoji, Longhai Railway..."

Following the narration, looking at the drawn railway map, the railway lines occupied and controlled by the Japanese army are densely packed all over the major occupied areas.

Some major cities are basically near these important railway lines, and are firmly in the hands of the Japanese army.

Kong Jie couldn't help sighing:

"The emergence of railways and trains can be said to have changed the old logistics transportation mode of war."

"The large-scale and high-efficiency transportation capacity of the railway line determines that it has two powerful capabilities of quickly projecting troops and logistics transportation support."

"The Importance of Railway Lines..."

"If we combine the gradual evolution of the battlefield between us and the Japanese army since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it is not difficult to find that the railway lines connecting major cities in our country have always been the focus of competition between the enemy and us."

"The little devil is hard to deal with. Looking at the area occupied by the devils and the lost homeland, we can only look at the ocean and sigh for the time being."

"All of this is not only due to the huge advantages of the Japanese military's military industry level, but also to a more complete military construction. The railway network densely covered in our territory is also one of the accomplices."

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan is working on the map with a wooden ruler and pencil.

According to the plan discussed with Kong Jie, he mainly marked the most likely grain transportation railway line for the Japanese army around Yangquan and Ping'an County.

For Kong Jie's emotion, Xu Guoan deeply agrees:
"Old Kong, you have hit the point."

"If it weren't for the dense railway lines, the quick troop transport capability and solid logistical supply capabilities provided for the little devils."

"We can't just hide in the mountains and fight guerrillas with little devils."

"Just talk about the Hundred Regiments War we launched at the end of last year!"

"For nearly a year, if it weren't for the Hundred Regiments War, our army had successfully destroyed most of the Japanese army's Zhengtai Railway, and pulled out the devil's advance strongholds and bunkers, completely breaking the little devil's cage policy. .”

"Our life is going to be even more difficult."

"As for the relative stability of the base in the past six months? Don't even think about it!"

Kong Jie quite agrees with what Xu Guoan said.

To be honest, the independent regiment was able to develop to its current scale, and even expanded into the first anti-Japanese detachment in Northwest Shanxi, which naturally also benefited from the Zhengtai Campaign.

If it weren't for the sabotage in the Zhengtai Battle, the Japanese army's Zhengtai Railway was paralyzed.

I am afraid that the independent regiment does not have so much time to stabilize the base and take the opportunity to develop.

"Old Kong, it's finished. Look at it. According to the current analysis, these are the most likely railway lines for the Japanese army to transport grain to Yangquan and Ping'an County."

While talking, Xu Guoan, who had finished the homework on the map, got up and said.

Kong Jie nodded. After pondering for a while, he took the pencil from Xu Guoan's hand and followed the seven or eight railway branch lines that Xu Guoan marked on the map, and outlined three small sections of the railway in pencil.

"The more precise the target and the more certain the scope, the better."

"The little devil's railway line is like a spider's web, extending in all directions. In addition, the original railway lines in Shanxi are relatively dense. This is a cheap little devil."

"These three small sections are very small on the map, and the shortest actual distance is estimated to be a few kilometers."

"The most important thing is that they are the sections where these branch lines and main lines intersect. In other words, these three places are the sections that the devil's trains must pass through to transport food."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie's eyes became a little hot:

"The campaign plan of the Propaganda Department has been very successful in the past few days. The little devil originally wanted to force the victims to leave by quickly reducing the distribution of porridge. The main county towns are pouring in."

"The little devil is very busy right now, and this is the perfect time for us to make a move."

"In addition, based on the intelligence analysis collected by the Ministry of Enemy Industry these days, the batch of food transported by the devils to Yangquan and Ping'an County should arrive in the near future."

"Don't wait!"

"This time the food looting operation, our independent regiment is taking the lead."

"This time the three regiments of our first team are all mobilized. Wang Leihu's second regiment is in charge of the northbound railway junction, Shen Quan is in charge of the westbound railway junction, and our first regiment is in charge of the eastbound railway junction."

"Regardless of the order, in a word, we must never let a grain of the little devil enter Yangquan and Ping'an counties."

Xu Guoan nodded, then smiled and said:

"Old Kong, I think the commotion of this food robbery is getting bigger and bigger."

"We are keeping an eye on Yangquan and Ping'an County. The New Second Regiment has been watching Shouyang these days. Lao Li must also be planning the devil's grain train. Lao Ding is also not idle, and even sent his idea to Taiyuan City direction."

"Let's do it here, you see, the two of them will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will start tossing immediately."

"Then let's make a fuss, the bigger the fuss, the better!" Kong Jie said with a smile, "If we don't make a fuss, where can we find loopholes?"

"That's the same thing, this time we have sufficient intelligence, we cooperate with many parties, and the little devil is busy with the victims' affairs, and he has no skills at all, so we can successfully destroy the devil's food train at the three intersections. There are too many problems."

"The main problem is how to quickly transfer the large amount of food transported by the devils before the Japanese army reacted after intercepting these trains."

"Are the spare transportation teams of each regiment ready?"

Xu Guoan replied: "Old Kong, don't worry, this time we spent a lot of money to transport the seized grain quickly."

"The two truck transport teams are all ready. We have been making preparations during this time, and we have also purchased a large amount of spare fuel from Yan'an, which is enough for our truck transport team to run several rounds."

"In addition, motorcycles, bicycles, mule carts, and even small wooden carts pushed by our soldiers are all ready. Xie Baoqing and other military labor groups also participated in this transportation. They don't care about anything else, as long as they rob The food will be transported away in batches as soon as possible."

Kong Jie said: "In this way, we can feel more at ease, but this is not enough."

"The transport capacity of the train is quite astonishing. Although the performance of the little devil's train is not as good as that of some advanced countries in the West, it is still possible for this train to transport hundreds of tons of goods."

"Assuming there are [-] tons of goods, one of our transport trucks can pull up to three to five tons at most, which means that we even need hundreds of trucks to transport the grain away at one time."

"As for bicycles, motorcycles, mule-drawn carriages, etc., the transportation volume of these vehicles is much smaller. Fortunately, the quantity is large enough. Even if there are thousands of ants moving mountains, this huge task can also be completed. project."

"But the devil will not give us such ample time."

Following the analysis, Kong Jie directly made up his mind:

"So, this time our battle plan to rob the Japanese army's rations requires the participation of all parties."

"Just like the Zhengtai campaign back then, all local troops, militia troops, and even active villagers who are willing to help must be mobilized."

"After the robbery of the Devil's Train, we carried out the transfer of food quickly and orderly. Our car transport team, as well as motorcycles, bicycles, and mules and carriages, can take as much as possible. Let us help you, even if you use manpower to carry it, you still have to clean up the devil's food."

"As for the transported food, our transport team quickly approached the base area, and other local troops, militia troops and folks just hid the transferred food on the spot in the villages and mountainous areas where they were located."

"Some of them are really too late to be transferred, so they can just dig a hole and bury them in the ground."

"It's a good idea to move the stored grain nearby!" Xu Guoan laughed.
