"Kindness to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself."
At the military meeting held at the regiment headquarters, when Kong Jie put forward this point of view, all the cadres were shocked.
"Of course, you can't understand it too one-sidedly. Organizational discipline still needs to be discussed. What I'm saying is that when killing enemies on the battlefield, you must never talk about kindness to the enemy.
After the battle, the discipline of our Eighth Route Army is to treat prisoners favorably, and this is not wrong at all.
The so-called seven points of politics and three points of military affairs. We kill the Japanese. This is military. After defeating the Japanese, we treat their prisoners better. This is politics.
If you only care about the immediate anger and kill the prisoners, not only is it a violation of discipline, but it will also cause the Japanese and puppet troops to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops in the future. They know that they will die if they are captured, and they will jump over the wall in a hurry. Instead, they will fight to the death, which will harm our political propaganda. Said, a hundred harms and no benefit. "
The cadres nodded one after another, understanding that the group leader spoke very clearly.
"Wenjie, these days, in addition to our Niukou Village, the surrounding villages such as Xicun and Zhangjiazhuang have basically resumed construction, and the villagers have resumed living in their own houses. How is the situation in other peripheral villages?" Kong Jie asked again.
Li Wenjie said helplessly: "Captain, the Japanese are implementing the three-guang policy in this sweep. Whenever they encounter villages large or small outside the county, they will kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all. The villagers in the villages will all be evacuated. What supplies and supplies?" Basically all of them have been transported.”
"But many villages were still burned down by the Japs or bombed with artillery shells. I'm afraid it will take some time to restore the villages to their former appearance."
"These stupid little devils are really heartless." Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, could not hold back his anger and cursed.
Kong Jie said: “This time we invite everyone to come over for a meeting, mainly to discuss the subsequent expansion and development of our base area, how to properly handle the contact with the more peripheral villages, and how to better protect the villagers from the Japanese. Persecution by puppet troops.”
"I will give you the general policy, as I said before, three parts military and seven parts politics."
"What is the highest strategic policy of our Eighth Route Army in dealing with the Japanese aggressors and reactionaries? It is very clear: to surround the cities with the countryside and finally seize power across the country."
"For our Eighth Route Army, the large and small villages outside the counties and towns in the Japanese-occupied areas are the foundation of our existence."
"Winning over hundreds of villages, large and small, and tens of thousands of villagers to join our revolutionary ranks is a step-by-step process toward victory."
"Therefore, our follow-up general policy will be to supplement military operations and focus on winning over villages behind enemy lines to gradually expand, stabilize and develop our base areas."
"All military operations try to serve this purpose."
"yes--"
The company commanders, instructors, and instructors of each battalion responded in unison.
Kong Jie continued: "As for the general ideas, they are very simple. We are already implementing some of them at this stage. We just need to keep improving and develop in a better and more stable direction to respond to enemy counterattacks at any time."
"What are the specific ideas? Wenjie spent time sorting out his ideas in this regard. Please tell everyone."
"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded, took out the notes he had compiled early in the morning, and said, "Comrades, regarding the development direction of major villages in the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops, the general policy given by the regiment leader has three points."
"The first point is that we need to build a defense system for each village. The enemy environment in these villages is no better than in the wild or in our base area. The general environment is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, with more enemies than we are."
"So conventional positional warfare, ambush warfare and the like won't work. We have to change our thinking and fight the Japanese in tunnel warfare, mine warfare and traffic stations."
"Of course, this is based on the fact that our cadres can do ideological work in advance, establish close ties with the local people, cooperate with each other, trust each other, and fight against Japan together."
"The second point is that the process of winning over these villages is different from the military methods used in the past to directly attack the Japanese and puppet troops to eliminate the effective strength of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"We need to use more clever methods to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops. We must win over the puppet troops and try our best to use the puppet troops who secretly surrender in each village to establish a two-sided government to give the puppet troops in these villages and the ability to maintain the association. The traitors kept a good record of red and black accounts.
Stabilize the Japanese army and win more anti-Japanese forces to our side. "
"The third point is to focus on protecting the villagers in each village and use corresponding military strikes at any time to consolidate our political achievements."
"For the puppet troops whose political attitudes are wavering, we will try our best to adopt strategies to win over them. For those die-hards and hard-core traitors who are stubborn and stubborn, we must resolutely attack and eliminate them."
"Strong military capabilities can support military strikes in place at any time. This is the solid backing for us to establish a two-sided government."
"Only when these traitors and puppet soldiers are completely afraid to their core will they realize that they are still Chinese."
…
Li Wenjie finished talking about the points he had compiled.
The cadres digested these contents in their thinking, and their eyes gradually became brighter, and a pointed road seemed to be in front of everyone.
Zhu Wu, the former commander of the ninth company who is now the deputy battalion commander, strongly supported his old partner, "Wenjie, you said that very well. As long as our companies continue to develop according to this idea, we still worry about the fundamentals of the country not being able to grow. Are you still worried that you can’t drive away these little devils?”
Other cadres also smiled and praised.
Li Wenjie said hurriedly: "Comrades, you are all revolutionary predecessors, so don't laugh at me. This little thing is still under the guidance of the regiment leader."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Wenjie, don't be humble. Everyone has seen your progress over the past year. Everyone also said that when Comrade Wenjie first came to our independent group, What’s the difference?”
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan smiled and said: "Commander, the biggest difference between Wenjie and Wenjie is that when he first came here, he looked like a young boy, but now he is different. He is calm, wise, and clever, and he can fully stand on his own. "
Jiang Song, the former instructor of the First Company, now an instructor, laughed and said: "The second battalion commander is right. The revolutionary road is full of hardships and has always been the most tempering."
"Often only those comrades with the most unwavering revolutionary will can wash away the lead and get sediment in a relatively short period of time."
"In this regard, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and young people like Wenjie are far better than us."
Ha ha ha ha--
Instructor Jiang's words made the cadres laugh together.
The glasses atmosphere has also arrived. Kong Jie smiled, changed the topic and said: "Comrades, since we have reached this point, there is a latest instruction from the headquarters, I will announce it."
"Headquarters military order, special period, convenience. From now on, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will be taken over by Comrade Li Wenjie, the former instructor of the fifth battalion. The appointment documents have been issued by the headquarters and will arrive in the near future."
Kong Jie finished his announcement. After all, he was a young man. Li Wenjie, who was not expecting the sudden appointment at the headquarters, couldn't help but become a little nervous.
Zhu Wu, the deputy commander of the fifth battalion, was full of joy and took the lead in applauding. Then there was thunderous applause in the conference room, and the cadres applauded to express their congratulations.
Jiang Song, the instructor of the Fourth Battalion, even said bluntly: "The future of the revolution belongs to young people. Wenjie deserves to be the acting political commissar. I welcome him with both hands."
First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu even laughed and said: "Comrades, this is a good thing. Originally, I was worried about when our superiors would parachute a political commissar for us.
We can't figure out what temper or command style we have, so something will go wrong.
Now it's better, our instructors who know everything about the situation can become political commissars themselves.
What else are we worried about? Do you think this is true? "
"Yes Yes--"
The cadres responded with smiles. For more than a year, everyone got along day and night. Li Wenjie worked from instructor to instructor, and now to acting political commissar.
When I was an instructor, only two weeks later, even Zhu Wu, the bad-tempered commander of the ninth company, had sex with Li Wenjie, making him want to wear a pair of pants.
During his tenure as an instructor in the Ninth Company, Li Wenjie went deep into the grassroots and became one with the soldiers.
Almost all aspects of the soldiers' joys, sorrows, joys, thoughts, and daily life were cared for and taken care of by the instructor of the Ninth Company.
For this reason, to this day, when the comrades of the Ninth Company mention the former instructor, they all praise him.
What is even more admirable is that the instructor Li Wenjie is capable of both literary and military skills.
Wen Neng taught the soldiers reading, literacy, and culture.
Wu Neng taught the soldiers marksmanship and various military theoretical knowledge. The Nine Company even shouted the slogan "Everyone becomes a sharpshooter".
Although Li Wenjie did not complete this ambition during his time as an instructor.
But to this day, all the soldiers of the Ninth Company still inherit this spirit and continue to work towards this goal.
Later, Li Wenjie became the instructor of the fifth battalion. The commander of the fifth battalion, Du Aiguo, was previously the commander of the third regiment of the puppet North China Security Army. Most of the soldiers in the entire fifth battalion were basically puppet soldiers who had surrendered.
This kind of army is the most complicated, and the soldiers' thoughts are the most uncertain.
But in less than half a year, as an instructor, Li Wenjie not only got along well with battalion commander Du Aiguo and other commanders, but also managed the entire fifth battalion in an orderly manner.
The overall cohesion and combat effectiveness of the soldiers were also quickly formed.
Li Wenjie even took the time to help lead many new camps and recruit companies to implement all aspects of the soldiers' ideological education and military learning.
In addition, Li Wenjie helped Kong Jie handle all matters in the group.
Regardless of the size of the independent regiment, Kong Jie basically left all aspects of life, discipline, and security to Li Wenjie.
Despite the heavy workload and working from dawn to dusk every day, Li Wenjie never hesitated and meticulously completed all the tasks taught to him by Kong Jie.
Nowadays, if you go to the Fifth Battalion and ask any soldier who he admires the most.
The soldiers will definitely tell you, "Aside from our regiment leader, the one we admire most is our instructor!"
When you ask the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion, who were puppet troops half a year ago, whether the Independent Regiment is good or not, the soldiers will tell you without hesitation:
"Of course!"
"Why?"
"When we were in the camp of the national army and the puppet army, we didn't have instructors who always helped us get food!"
"There is no instructor to put medicine on your butt!"
"Whenever you have difficulties, whether it's in life or training, the instructor will always be the first to show up."
"…………"
Justice is in the heart of the people. I don’t know since when, Li Wenjie, the instructor of the Fifth Battalion, has been recognized by the cadres of the Independent Regiment.
Faced with the sincere support and thunderous applause of the cadres, Li Wenjie's original nervousness gradually disappeared and turned into a growing determination in his heart.
The applause gradually stopped, and the rather funny deputy battalion commander Zhu Wu shouted to Li Wenjie: "Wenjie, oh no...he is the acting political commissar, the acting political commissar, we all ate from the same pot back then, you have to take care of me from now on." Brother me!"
Jiang Song pretended to be serious and shouted: "Lao Zhu, this is a corrupt bureaucratic style, and it's unacceptable."
As soon as the words fell, the singing and drinking made the cadres burst into laughter.
Then, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan dropped another piece of bombshell news.
"Comrades, our acting political commissar has another identity. I guess everyone doesn't know it yet, right?"
The cadres were all puzzled and focused their attention on Shen Quan.
"Everyone still remembers Comrade Li Wenying, the former political commissar of our Independence League, right?" Shen Quan asked.
The veteran cadres nodded one after another, and they all mentioned the former political commissar Li Wenying with fondness.
"Political Commissar Li is the best political commissar of our independent group. It would have been great if he had not died accidentally."
"It's all that stupid Bantian team, but we also killed that old devil Bantian and avenged the political commissar's blood.
It’s just a pity, what a good political commissar, what a good comrade—”
But... what does Wenjie's identity have to do with the former political commissar?
The cadres were confused when they heard Shen Quan say loudly:
"To tell you the truth, our acting political commissar is the younger brother of our former political commissar Li Wenying!"
As soon as these words came out, the cadres who suddenly received the news were all shocked.
Knowing that Li Wenjie was the younger brother of former political commissar Li Wenying, there were only two people in the independent group, one was Kong Jie and the other was Shen Quan.
At that time, in order to prevent this identity from affecting Li Wenjie's normal work, Kong Jie and Shen Quan chose to keep it secret.
But if Li Wenjie publicizes words like "My brother is the former political commissar Li Wenying" or "My father is Li Gang", Kong Jie and Shen Quan will have no choice but to be disappointed.
But it is obvious that even though he was full of blood and arrogant when he first came, Li Wenjie did not do this.
Until Shen Quan told the truth, no one in the independent group knew Li Wenjie's identity.
While everyone was astonished, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu Wu took the lead and slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing: "One is called Li Wenjie and the other is Li Wenying. Aren't these brothers? Why didn't I think of that?"
Fourth Battalion Commander Lei Dasheng said: "We have a large number of troops, and there are too many people with the same name. How can you imagine this?"
Zhu Wudao: "That's true, but, Wenjie, you are so uninteresting. You had already said that you were the younger brother of our political commissar. When you became the instructor of the 9th Company, I, Old Zhu, would not have made it difficult for you. ”
The commander of the first battalion scolded: "You Zhu Wu, aren't you just looking at others' choices? This is too outrageous."
As he said that, the cadres laughed again.
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. If it were not for the initial gap and friction between Zhu Wu and Li Wenjie, the relationship between the two would not be as close as it is now.
After laughing, the cadres also felt a burst of admiration after sighing with emotion.
Everyone felt like Ming Jing'er. Li Wenjie did not reveal his identity because he did not want other cadres to take special care of him when he was in the Independent Regiment because of his identity as the younger brother of the former political commissar.
Over the past year or so, Li Wenjie has used his efforts and actions to gain recognition from the independent group.
And he did not rely on his identity as the younger brother of the former political commissar.
Now, with the original recognition and the memory of political commissar Li Wenying, when the cadres look at acting political commissar Li Wenjie, they are all convinced.
I have to say that this news from Shen Quan is really just right...
