Speaking of which, Kong Jie is indeed a real person.
What I live is the life of a regiment leader, but what I care about is the heart of a division commander.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Kong Jie couldn't just focus on the development of his own independent regiment and ignore the surrounding combat troops.
Therefore, Kong Jie kept three parts of the copper coins recovered by the independent group for use.
Part of it is naturally used for red bullets with copper-yuan warheads produced by the repair shop.
Part of it is handed over to the headquarters arsenal, so that the arsenal can use a larger production line to mass-produce such red-tipped bullets to supply various combat units of the Eighth Route Army.
Kong Jie naturally took advantage of it and used copper dollars to exchange for a certain number of bullets from Zhang Wanhe's logistics department, which was regarded as exchanging materials for products.
In this way, Kong Jie seemed to suffer a bit, but in fact, on the one hand, the extra materials were considered as ammunition help provided by Kong Jie to other combat troops. On the other hand, Kong Jie gained time.
At least with the size of the Independent Regiment's armory, so many copper coins would only accumulate and become moldy if placed in the Independent Regiment.
Instead of all turning into bullets within a limited time.
The last part is used as reserve material for bullet production.
It will always come in handy when times get tough in the future.
Commander Kong actually not only felt good about himself, but the leaders at the headquarters also saw it.
There has been heavy snowfall in the past two days, and it is extremely cold near the Taihang Mountain base area. The boss and deputy chief of staff gathered around the warmth sent by Kong Jie - the honeycomb briquette stove, while warming up the fire, they sighed.
"Comrade Kong Jie is a good comrade! This independent regiment has newly moved to Niukou Village. The construction of the base area has just started, and the regiment has expanded its troops.
The vast amount of things in his regiment are enough to keep him busy. He also worries about the logistics supply of the headquarters all day long, and also worries about the shortage of ammunition for our other combat units. He keeps sending copper coins to the logistics department. Producing bullets! "
The deputy chief of staff spoke.
Feeling the heat from the red briquettes burning in the stove, the boss expressed deep agreement:
"Who says it's not the case? Kong Jie is a real comrade!"
"In this regard, Kong Jie is much more worry-free than that bastard Li Yunlong."
"Let me tell you, if Kong Jie went astray, it was probably Li Yunlong, a bastard, who led him into trouble."
The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "Boss, we are talking about Kong Jie! Why did you mention Li Yunlong again?"
The boss said: "Can I not mention this bastard? Do you know what this bastard Li Yunlong is doing these days?"
"This guy spends the whole day running around various units, selling his wooden-handled grenades produced by the New Second Regiment."
"He took the wooden-handled grenade he produced and changed equipment everywhere. The 771st and 772nd Regiments, including many main combat groups around him, were all covered by him."
"Tell me, Kong Jie is trying his best to provide copper dollars to the logistics department to produce more bullets to help other combat troops.
He, Li Yunlong, would be fine if he took the grenades produced by the New Second Regiment, not to mention giving some to the surrounding combat troops to support friendly troops.
He also started a business. Did Li Yunlong ever suffer losses? Just the few hand grenades he had, I guess I changed a lot of equipment back. "
Ha ha ha ha--
"Boss, please don't make things difficult for Li Yunlong. His new second regiment has just been formed, and his family's financial resources are not as good as those of the independent regiment. As the leader of the regiment, shouldn't he be allowed to do anything?"
The boss smiled and said: "Why do you always speak for Li Yunlong? Have you received any benefits from him?"
The deputy chief of staff smiled and said: "I haven't received any benefits from Li Yunlong, but the warmth from Kong Jie, boss, aren't we enjoying it now?"
The boss looked at the stove in front of him, looking at the briquettes that were still burning red, and said with a smile: "That's the truth. It's just a benefit from Kong Jie. Why are you protecting Li Yunlong?"
"Boss, you see more clearly than I do. The one who takes the blame has been wronged. If we don't forgive him, how can we take the blame again in the future? From this aspect, I have taken advantage of Kong Jie's warmth. Indirectly helping Kong Jie!"
Ha ha ha ha--
The boss laughed: "Old Zuo, you still understand."
…
…
Eight days.
The Spring Festival was originally less than 20 days away. In this arduous and outstanding anti-Japanese tug-of-war, the soldiers' strings have been tense for almost a year, so they are all looking forward to this upcoming New Year, which can be a good one. Relax, relax and lively.
No matter how difficult the anti-Japanese environment was, the Eighth Route Army troops always had the spirit of revolutionary optimism.
But no one expected that just two days ago, something happened in southern Anhui that made people and gods angry...
When the news came, the entire Eighth Route Army was furious.
Independent regiment.
Regiment Headquarters.
The battalion commanders, instructors, and ministers gathered here, and what appeared on everyone's faces was indignation.
The denunciation of Boss Jiang lasted for nearly ten minutes before gradually stopping.
Li Wenjie, the instructor of the Fifth Battalion, is usually good-tempered, but today he made an exception and cursed until his voice became hoarse. Then he calmed down and said: "Captain, the reactionaries are so stupid and stubborn, what else do we have?" What’s good to say?”
Kong Jie, who had remained silent, finally spoke:
"Comrades, I know the anger in everyone's heart, but after today's scolding here, I ask everyone to hide the anger in their hearts for the time being. In the face of a powerful enemy, we should still focus on the military operation against the Japanese aggressors."
"As for this bad news, and the roar in the hearts of comrades, everyone just needs to believe that since ancient times, evil has never suppressed good, and those who can't kill us will only make us stronger and more determined."
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. This is by no means an empty phrase. This is the faith and courage of our new army."
"Just wait, when this fire burns out, what will be revived will be more vigorous vitality for our New Fourth Army troops!"
"How long can those self-righteous die-hards and reactionaries be arrogant? Soon they will understand what it means to ask for trouble and overestimate their own capabilities."
At the end of the meeting, Kong Jie comforted the cadres and sent them away from the regiment headquarters.
In fact, what Kong Jie said to the cadres was not just to comfort them.
From a short-term perspective, this incident is naturally bad news, making relatives hate and enemies happy.
But in the long run, the advantages of this incident outweigh the disadvantages. It can be said that Boss Jiang made a bad move out of self-righteousness.
After experiencing this ordeal, our New Fourth Army troops will surely rise from the ashes with ever-increasing perseverance and courage, and with a single spark, they will completely start a prairie fire.
…
The cadres left in twos and threes, but Wang An, the enemy's Minister of Industry, stayed behind.
"How's the situation?"
Kong Jie opened his mouth and asked about the situation of the 251st Regiment of the stubborn army.
Not long ago, the stubborn army led by Lu Duoxian was about to go to Taiyuan City to surrender to Eijiro Takeda, the head of the Japanese Taiyuan City secret service, but was destroyed by Shen Quan and his party midway.
Wang An replied: "Captain, as expected, everything was as expected. Even if the 251st Regiment was about to surrender to the Japs, it was destroyed by the Second Battalion Commander and the others, which also caused a fight between the Japanese army and the 251st Regiment." .
But after the 251st Regiment returned to their base, they secretly contacted the Japanese army again in an attempt to surrender for the second time. "
At this point, Wang An cursed: "The leader of the 251st Regiment, Lu Daoxian, is really shameless. I have never seen such a shameless person."
"Forget it, just prepare to surrender for the second time, little devil."
"They actually had the nerve to shamelessly publicize that the 251st Regiment was a national army team dedicated to resisting the Japanese behind enemy lines. They also claimed that not long ago they fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Taiyuan City and more than 500 people died heroically."
"How could these more than five hundred of them have died heroically? They clearly failed to surrender. When they were defeated all the way, letting the little devils chase them and beat them to death is a disgrace to the military."
"The most ironic thing is that the 251st Regiment had a shy face and described the defeat, surrender, and rebellion as a heroic battle, and the Jinsui Army and the National Army just believed it."
"Reporters from the Kuomintang-controlled area even visited the 251st Regiment in person to conduct on-the-spot interviews a few days ago. Head, this is the latest newspaper they have published in the Kuomintang-controlled area in the past few days about the heroic anti-Japanese deeds of the 251st Regiment. Let me bring you Come on, take a look, I don’t even have the nerve to look at it anymore.”
"I don't know how stupid this reporter is to actually praise such a capitulationist team as a heroic fighting force of the national army."
Kong Jie took the newspaper handed over by Wang An and quickly found the content of the report about the heroic resistance of the 251st Regiment.
It is indeed easy to find. It is very long and even takes up nearly one-eighth of the page of the newspaper. The whole article tells how the 251st Regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese army at that time, and eventually sacrificed more than 500 people and wiped out the Japanese army. More than 200 Japanese and puppet troops fought.
At first glance, it really looks like that.
At the bottom of the report is the note:
The story of this battle was narrated by Lu Duoxian, the lieutenant colonel leader of the 251st Regiment, and polished by the editor.
Big title: The 251st Regiment of the National Army bravely resisted and destroyed the Japanese invaders.
Several pieces of content are divided below, each piece of content is equipped with a subtitle, such as "The 258th Regiment's surprise attack on Taiyuan City", "Fighting back against the Japanese invaders", "Tragic and bloody battle", etc. The content is written with nose and eyes, although it is purely gab.
Wang An continued to curse at the side, but Kong Jie calmed down and read through all the contents carefully.
"Captain, do you think this 251st regiment is too damn bastard?"
Kong Jie said: "If the content of this report was written by the reporter himself, the reporter's writing style is really good. Regardless of whether the content is true or not, at least reading the entire article has indeed created a team that is not afraid of sacrifice. The image of the Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces who fought bravely against the Japanese army."
"???"
Wang An smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, why are you still in the mood to pay attention to this reporter's writing?"
Kong Jie: "Our reporter, Shen Wenyue, a senior reporter and editor of the Anti-Japanese National Daily, looks like a female reporter!"
Wang An: “………………”
Seeing Wang An's strange expression, Kong Jie put down the newspaper and said with a serious face: "Let's get down to business. After the incident in southern Anhui, our New Fourth Army was declared a prisoner army, and the national military government even accused the New Fourth Army of various crimes.
If you want to impose a crime, there is no need to hesitate. "
"Not only that, the reactionaries' offensive against our Eighth Route Army has also been launched."
"It is said that our Eighth Route Army troops are loitering instead of fighting, and that our Eighth Route Army troops are deliberately causing friction. Some even go too far. They say that our Eighth Route Army troops are able to develop base areas behind enemy lines and survive because they secretly colluded with the Japs and openly resisted Japan. Collaborating with the enemy secretly."
"Isn't it interesting to listen to what others say and the dirty water they pour on us?"
"They blame all the bad things they have done on us. When a thief calls out, catch the thief. That's probably what it means."
Wang An scolded: "These bastards, Commander, you are absolutely right. Even the pretentious propaganda of anti-Japanese propaganda on the 251st in front of you has been used by the reactionaries.
If you look further down, you will see the commendation of the 251st Regiment, a national army unit, for its heroic resistance against Japan behind enemy lines.
The following will go on to criticize our Eighth Route Army, saying that not only are we inferior to the Nationalist troops fighting in the front, but we are also inferior to the Nationalist troops fighting behind enemy lines.
They also accuse us of wandering instead of fighting, only harassing the people and undermining the united front. "
"Those reactionaries deliberately want to distribute these newspapers to the Kuomintang-controlled areas so as to deceive the people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas!"
Kong Jie said: "Okay, what's the use of arguing? If a few curses can kill the reactionaries, I might as well stay here for three days and three nights."
"Speaking of business, how did it go?"
Having said this, Wang An said in admiration: "Hey, leader, how about you not being the leader? I admire you so much, why do you think of everything in advance?
When we robbed the Japanese-occupied areas a few days ago, you ordered us to visit some photo studios run by the Japanese and puppet troops and grab some film and cameras.
It really comes in handy right now. After the last incident, our enemy engineering department penetrated a lot into the 251st Regiment.
As expected, our comrades used the cameras at hand to secretly take many photos of the 251 group secretly interacting with the Japanese.
There are photos of the Japanese secretly sending supplies to the 251st Regiment, and photos of Lu Daoxian, the leader of the 251st Regiment, discussing with the Japanese.
In addition, the more than 50 soldiers of the 251st Regiment whom we captured from Taiyuan City last time were collectively recognized and detained as evidence that the 251st Regiment colluded with the Japanese.
We have all the witnesses and material evidence, so what else can we say about his 251 group? "
Kong Jie shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't know the urinal nature of the reactionaries of the national army, it's just our one-sided statement, and these shameless people will definitely not admit it.
In this way, I happened to see the newspaper in front of me. As a reporter from the Kuomintang-controlled area, if you go to the 251st Regiment again, you should find a way to get a reliable comrade from the enemy's Ministry of Industry to meet this reporter.
Give the evidence film we took to this reporter and ask her to take it back and wash it out, and take a good look at how wrong she was in her report that the 251st Regiment was a heroic anti-Japanese force. "
Wang An was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Hey, this is a good idea. Don't worry, captain, I promise to complete the mission!"
