…………
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army was adapted into the National Revolutionary Army's combat order and participated in the Anti-Japanese War.
Due to different actual situations, each war zone and base area are relatively scattered, making it inconvenient to continue issuing uniform meritorious service medals.
Therefore, under this special form, each military region and unit will combine their own actual conditions to record merits and rewards for individuals and groups who have outstanding performance in combat.
After the victory of this counter-mopping, it was carried out in this mode.
Niukou Village.
Independent regiment.
Shortly after the commendation meeting for each regiment held by the brigade commander and political commissar at the brigade headquarters, news came from the headquarters.
In this anti-mopping victory, all regiments worked together to kill the enemy bravely, especially the independent regiment's military exploits, which are obvious to all. The most remarkable thing is that after discussion and decision by the headquarters, Comrade Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment, will be credited with a personal meritorious service.
All combat officers of the independent regiment will be recorded for collective military merit once.
In addition, the brigade headquarters also credited the independent regiment's guard company, two artillery companies, commandos, sniper platoons and other outstanding combat teams with great achievements, and specially formulated and issued corresponding medals and flags.
At the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie also credited the commanders of the regiment with heroic and outstanding performance in this battle, such as the guard company commander Wei Monk, the commando deputy captain Ye Min, the two artillery company commanders, and the sniper platoon leader. Huang Baiyang, cavalry company commander Sun Desheng and so on. .
Some soldiers who performed outstandingly in the battle were not left behind. The regiment headquarters, battalion headquarters, and each company either recorded merit or commended them.
Regiment Headquarters.
Ye Min, deputy captain of the commando team, arrived and reported to Kong Jie: "Captain, you are looking for me!"
Kong Jie nodded, looked at Ye Min, and said: "This base defense battle can reverse the situation in one fell swoop and force the Japanese attacking troops to retreat. The most critical point is that your commando team successfully destroyed the Japanese troops in the rear. Provisional Joint Command.
For this reason, the first contribution to the victory in this battle is your commando team.
At the military meeting after the battle, I told everyone that in this battle, all members of our independent regiment will be rewarded according to their merits, and those who deserve rewards will be rewarded and those who deserve punishment will be punished.
As the biggest contributor to our independent group right now, tell me, what reward do you want? "
After Ye Min was stunned, he said with a silly smile: "Commander, this time we won the battle, and everyone has recorded all the merits that should be recorded. I even remembered the great merits once!"
The commando team also had their collective merit recorded once. Do you mean there are other rewards besides the merit record? Is this such a good thing? "
Kong Jie solemnly said: "Let me tell you something serious, don't be so playful. In our independent group, we always put as much rice as the pot has."
"To make the best use of people, and to let every commander be in the position he is good at, this is my responsibility as the regiment leader."
"For more than a year, you have led the commando team to carry out various difficult combat missions, and all of them were successfully completed."
"You have gained experience and are able to stand on your own. Coupled with this military achievement, I mean that you should be in a more suitable position and play a greater role."
Ye Min was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Captain, as you know, I haven't gone to school, and I don't have much knowledge. What do you mean?"
Kong Jie said: "The commando is the most elite small combat force of our independent regiment. To put it simply, it is the trump card of our independent regiment."
"But now with the development of our independent regiment, you have also seen that the regiment's organization is getting bigger and bigger, the troops are getting more and more, and things are getting more and more complicated. Under such circumstances, there are only twenty or thirty The human commando team has become somewhat insufficient."
"So, I'm going to draw some young people from the entire regiment to form an assault company, with you as the commander of the assault company for training.
To put it another way, the assault company gathers the elite soldiers of our entire regiment, a bit like the reserve force of the assault team.
The most outstanding warriors from the assault company can be further selected into the assault team. "
Seeing Ye Min lost in thought, Kong Jie continued:
"Now the scale of our independent group is not small, and the base area is gradually expanding and developing day by day. The scale may become larger and larger in the future."
"The expansion of the scale and the increase in the number of troops may seem like a good thing at first glance, but what an army fears most is that it will be overrun due to the rapid increase in the number of troops."
"Since last year, the headquarters has issued instructions on the development of the base areas of various ministries, requiring them to streamline their troops and streamline their administration in order to reduce the pressure on each base area to support local troops."
"The development situation of our independent group is better. It has an agricultural foundation and a commercial foundation. It will not rely too much on the local people and will not cause additional economic pressure."
"So the idea of having better troops and simpler administration is to reduce the size of the army, strengthen military training, and improve the quality of the limited troops."
"Our independent regiment does not need to significantly reduce the size of the army."
"But it is necessary for us to strengthen the military training of the troops and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the existing troops."
"In the end, after much thought, I decided to establish a set of gradually increasing selection systems so that every soldier and every commander can make the best use of them."
"For example, the local selection system goes from the common people to the militia, to the local guerrilla squad, to the district squad, the county brigade, and then to our recruit camp."
"Starting from today, our independent regiment will also have a complete selection system, starting from the recruit company, to the main company of each battalion, to the sharp knife company of each battalion, to the guard company, to the assault company, and then to the final assault company. Team."
"To motivate soldiers to fight bravely in training and on the battlefield."
Kong Jie explained, and Ye Min understood.
He even imagined that if he were a soldier who had just joined the independent regiment, facing this selection system, he would definitely burst out with extra fighting spirit.
Isn't the highest aspiration of a soldier to march and work hard towards the most elite troops full of honor?
"Captain, I understand what you mean, it's just the commando team..."
Kong Jie said: "Are you worried that after you leave the commando team, there will be no one to lead the commando team?"
Ye Min did not deny it, "Yes!"
"How about the wood?" Kong Jie asked.
Ye Min shook his head: "Mumu is an excellent special operations team member. He is smart, clever, has solid military skills, and has a good psychological quality. However, when it comes to commanding a commando in combat, he lacks certain judgment and decisiveness."
"Where's Cao Zheng?"
"Cao Zheng basically has the advantages of wood, but Cao Zheng slightly lacks the cleverness and adaptability of wood."
After listening to this, Kong Jie finally understood that even Cao Zheng, Mu Mu and Ye Min, who were most promising to serve as the deputy captain of the commando team, were not satisfied. No wonder he did not want to leave the commando team at the moment.
Duan Peng's name suddenly came to mind again.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "I understand your worries, but there is no rush in this matter. The formation of the assault company and the entire selection system of our independent regiment are only in their prototypes now.
It hasn't officially started yet, and there will still be a long period of time between when it is officially put into operation. You can stay in the commando team for the time being! "
Ye Min nodded, suddenly came to his senses, and asked: "Captain, what about my reward?"
Kong Jie said: "Reward, what reward? I said I would give you the command of an assault company, but you are not happy with it. Who can you blame?"
Ye Min: "..."
"Captain, at least you have promoted me as the deputy captain!"
Kong Jile said: "You kid, what's the difference between this one and the real one? Anyway, you don't have the real one in front of you, so it's not you who has the final say on the entire commando team?"
"But I always feel uncomfortable with this situation!" Ye Min said aggrievedly. He had been the deputy captain for more than a year, but he still hadn't become a full-time captain.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry about the position of commando leader."
Ye Min asked doubtfully: "Captain, this commando team has not had a captain since it was first established. Could it be that you have already chosen someone?"
Kong Jie said: "Not bad."
"Who?"
"The successor you expected." Kong Jie said.
"successor?"
Ye Min, who was full of confusion, did not get an explanation from Kong Jie in the end, so he just left the regiment headquarters thinking about it all the way.
Ye Min left, and instructor Li Wenjie came to report:
"Reporting to the leader, all post-war matters have basically been settled."
"Niukou Village, Zhangjiazhuang, Xicun and the surrounding villages are being restored and reconstructed in an orderly manner. Our idle soldiers have been sent to each village to help the villagers build houses, and logistics troops have been dispatched to purchase the required materials through hidden channels. , I think it will take less than a week, and the houses in all the surrounding villages can be rebuilt."
"The remains of the martyrs have all been properly placed, and family members have found ways to convey the news, and have arranged for condolences to come to the door to distribute pensions."
"The captured puppet troops have all been arranged. We happen to need people in all aspects of farming, mining, briquette production lines, chicken essence production, cigarette production, etc."
"Speaking of which, these prisoners arrived just in time."
"It's just, Commander, our policy has always been to treat prisoners preferentially, isn't this a bit..."
Kong Jie said: "Just do it like this. There is nothing wrong with it. Even if the boss asks, I have a reason to answer."
"These captured puppet soldiers, I will provide them with three meals a day, and I will heal them if they are injured. I just let them contribute and do some work. Let them go and inquire about these tasks. The soldiers of our regiment Who wouldn’t do it?”
"Having enough food and living a secure life can be considered as atonement for the crimes they committed. Isn't this considered preferential treatment? Go and ask these prisoners how their lives are going."
Li Wenjie thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you say that, it's really preferential treatment."
Kong Jie said: "Of course it's preferential treatment. Also, let's make it clear to these puppet soldiers that I will finish my three months' work first.
After I was done, I paid them travel expenses if they wanted to leave.
If you want to stay and fight the Japanese, our independent group will open our doors to welcome you.
Of course, you have to make them understand that not all cats and dogs can join our Eighth Route Army or join our independent regiment.
They also had to go through strict assessment and selection, and also gave me political classes and ideological education classes.
When did I understand the transformation and get rid of all the bad habits of the old warlords and traitors?
When can our independent group officially accept them? "
"This can be regarded as giving them a head start, so that they don't have to live in a haze all day long and don't know how to live."
"In addition, this person will have mixed thoughts when he has too many people. It is inevitable that there will be some pranksters inside. The security aspect must be strengthened. Every aspect of the base area should be hidden from these puppet troops and must not be allowed to be known to them."
"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded.
Then, Li Wenjie reported the progress of other matters to Kong Jie and left.
afternoon.
Kong Jie held a post-war analysis and summary military meeting, and all the battalion and company commanders, instructors, and instructors were present.
At the meeting, Kong Jie made the opening remarks, "As usual, let's talk about something happy first. Each battalion will report the general capture situation first and then talk about it. Battalion Commander, you should come first."
"Yes!" Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, responded and said proudly: "Captain, our first battalion has made too many seizures this time. We have said before that we have seized too many from the villages, towns and counties behind the Japanese." , which is nearly a battalion’s worth of equipment, plus enough supplies to supply my entire battalion for more than half a year.”
"After that, we fought against the Japanese and puppet troops in Xicun, and then combined with a new regiment to eliminate the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops. Our battalion successively eliminated more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, and seized more than 900 rifles, more than 100 pistols, and 10 grenades. Five weapons, twenty-three light machine guns, five heavy machine guns... The total number of bullets of each caliber is at least 50,000.
Coupled with military supplies such as military boots, military uniforms, bayonets, satchels, and water bottles, it can hold several carriages at least.
The kid at the back had basically eaten all the rations he brought with him, but he didn't capture much. "
Wang Leihu finished speaking in one breath, and the second battalion commander Shen Quan beside him said: "I am Leihu, didn't I just capture some more equipment and supplies? I really treat them as treasures, and look like they are all treasures!"
"What needle?" Wang Leihu was confused.
Chen Quan said disdainfully: "I ask you to lead troops on a daily basis, but don't forget to study as well. It's an idiom. What does it mean? You can go back and ask the instructor!"
In the past six months, the trend of learning cultural knowledge has become very popular among the independent regiment, regardless of whether they are commanders or soldiers.
In particular, regiment leader Kong Jie greatly encouraged this and even ordered each company and platoon to organize cultural studies on a daily basis.
Nowadays, any soldier who has joined the independent regiment for more than half a year, even if he cannot read a word before joining the army, can at least understand the combat comic booklet compiled and distributed by the regiment.
Soldiers are proud of being literate.
At this moment, the first battalion commander, who had been defeated in cultural knowledge, was so choked that he could only change the topic in an attempt to regain the ground:
"Old Shen, don't be pretentious here. You just studied with the instructor for two more days! Zhu Bajie wears glasses, why are you pretending to be a college student? If you have the ability to tell us about the seizures of your second battalion, let's compare and we can divide them up. High or low."
This is an obvious way to provoke generals, and Shen Quan just did this.
"Afraid of you?"
"Listen up, let's not talk about the seizures before returning to our base. Our two battalions are evenly matched, so no one should laugh at the other."
"Let's talk about the combat situation after returning to the base area. Your first battalion is responsible for the battle in the direction of Xicun, and my second battalion is responsible for the battle in the direction of Zhangjiazhuang."
"In this battle, our second battalion killed at least 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops."
Wang Leihu said: "That's not much. I can't kill less than this number of enemies in a battalion."
Chen Quan said: "The casualty situation of my second battalion is much better than that of your first battalion."
“What’s so good is that there are about twenty people missing, right?”
"What's wrong with the twenty or so people? Which of these twenty or so people is not a living being, not one of our own comrades?"
"Old Shen, what you said is too poisonous."
"I'm just telling the truth. If you're impatient, you can't blame me."
The contrast intensified. The other battalion commanders, instructors, company commanders, and instructors all looked at each other in confusion, but no one could speak.
In the end, Kong Jie knocked on the table and cursed with a smile: "Commander of the First Battalion, Commander of the Second Battalion, are you here for a meeting, or are you here to see you two quarreling?"
"Okay, let's skip the second battalion directly. Commander of the third battalion, the commander of the fourth battalion, and the commander of the fifth battalion, please tell us about the seizures of each battalion."
