Time continues to pass.
In the base areas of the 5th Regiment, 6th Regiment, 771st Regiment, 772nd Regiment, and 17th Regiment, which Kong Jie had no knowledge of.
The almost crazy internal military training is still going on in full swing.
The company commanders of each regiment also didn't understand why the battalion commander and regimental commander came back from visiting, communicating and studying with the independent regiment.
Everyone is much stricter than usual.
Especially in military training, past goals seem to be insufficient.
The cadres responsible for training were stunned by the re-set goals one by one.
In shooting training, a small number of cadres equipped with pistols must practice rapid fire from 30 meters and reach the point where they can draw their guns quickly and accurately.
I'm reluctant to practice with live ammunition, even with a slingshot, I have to practice it to be effective.
For rifle shooting training, soldiers have to conduct rifle shooting training every day, practice aiming for an hour, and have to practice hard shooting within two hundred meters.
Special shooters have strengthened their training and are equipped with observers, striving to achieve the level of snipers in sniper team tactics.
The quasi-special shooters will strengthen their training and strive to break through to the shooting level of special shooters within one month.
Ordinary soldiers must strengthen training and strive to reach the shooting level of a quasi-special marksman within three months.
In order to improve the overall shooting level within the group.
After the commanders of each regiment returned to their base areas, they even issued standards for live-fire exercises.
After the simulated shooting training reaches the standard, the soldiers can try live-fire training.
Of course, bullets cannot be wasted and must be used in long-range ambushes against Japanese strongholds or some transport teams under the leadership and assistance of veterans.
Even if it is a live ammunition exercise, it is best to cause damage to the Japanese and puppet troops, and by the way, let the new soldiers feel the cruelty and reality of the battlefield to the greatest extent.
Fighting training and stabbing training are direct and real, and two-person actual combat training is implemented.
Those who are incompetent will have no one to blame even if their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen.
The training of scouts is even more rigorous, including all training including wall climbing, rappelling, rock climbing, capture, infiltration, penetration, etc.
And after training for a certain period of time, they will directly conduct actual combat exercises and conduct tentative infiltrations into surrounding Japanese strongholds, villages, towns, and counties.
It can be said to be dancing on a tightrope. Once the training fails, there is even a risk of exposure.
In the bomb-throwing training, we throw the grenade upwards 200 times a day. No one can rest unless the grenade is accurately thrown into a basket thirty meters away.
Training is required in all aspects of soil work, from the excavation of smokeless stoves in the field, to the construction of slopes for single-person foxholes, the construction of various machine gun fortifications, artillery fortifications, etc.
The training of infantry demolition teams, the laying of various booby traps, mine removal, blasting operations, etc. are also not left behind.
Conventional infantrymen have the same amount of training in various military skills.
Coupled with the intense training and high target requirements, not to mention the soldiers being trained, even the company commanders and platoon commanders in charge of the training were complaining endlessly.
Many trainings were even carried out directly in actual combat, which frightened many cadres in charge of training.
"Captain, isn't this kind of training too crazy and too intense? What if something goes wrong again..."
Similar doubts and questions appeared in every group.
At this time, the leaders of each regiment would grit their teeth and shout:
"We bleed more during training and sacrifice less when we go to the battlefield. I would rather let the soldiers sweat more and bleed more during training. Even if they are injured, I don't want to watch them go to the battlefield in vain. He lost his life."
"Is there something wrong with the way you train? Is the training too intense? Are the goals set too high?
Let me tell you, there is no problem. This is how the independent group trains. Their methods will only be crazier and more dangerous than ours.
Their goals will only be higher than ours, and the amount of training will only be greater.
But even so, if you go to the Independence League and ask around, is there any comrade in the Independence League who is complaining?
And I am not afraid to tell you that the goals you currently aspire to achieve have basically been achieved.
This time when we visited, communicated and studied with the Independent Regiment, we witnessed with our own eyes the solid training and strong combat effectiveness of the troops of the Independent Regiment.
Compared with others, you are just new recruits. "
"Not long ago, the Independent Regiment encircled the point to fight for reinforcements and defeated six or seven Japanese brigades. The Independent Regiment easily turned around and captured Ping'an County. But why can't we do it when we get there?"
"Do you really think it's just a gap in equipment or troop strength? Let me tell you, the bigger gap is in the combat effectiveness of the troops."
"Two shoulders carry one head. The comrades of the Independent Regiment can do it. Why can't we do it?"
…
Each regiment has been training recently, hoping to meet or even exceed the training standards of independent regiments.
The independent group cannot catch up for the time being, but it must not be outcompeted by other groups.
"Other groups shoot helmets from 200 meters away? Okay, then let's shoot light bulbs from 200 meters away."
"What, they are fully equipped to go cross-country for three kilometers? Then let's add another five kilograms and cross-country for five kilometers."
"They train eight hours a day, so let's train nine hours a day!"
There is no strongest, only stronger.
…
The soldiers who were stimulated to death by the words of the cadres stopped complaining and gritted their teeth and persisted.
A trend of crazy training among various units quickly spread within the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang Base Area.
Soon, involution even began to occur.
What does this involution mean?
The most vivid explanation is the "inflation" of effort.
What does it mean?
The most straightforward explanation is that if you work hard, others will work harder than you, so when you compare the results you achieve with others, they will appear mediocre, as if you didn’t work hard. This is basically what it means.
…
This trend is far from over at this point, it is even just the beginning.
The contents of the involution are not limited to the crazy military training within the Eighth Route Army.
It also includes the production of equipment and ammunition that each regiment cooperates with the independent regiment repair institute.
…
When the heads of each group left after the independent group visited the exchange and learning conference.
Kong Jie discussed with the regiment leaders how to cooperate in arms production among the regiments' repair shops.
The main content is naturally the core technology of arms production provided by the independent regiment's armory, and other regiments are responsible for some production processes.
This involves the question of who provides the raw materials.
If an independent group provides raw materials and the final core technology, your other groups are only responsible for outsourcing and undertaking some processing procedures.
Then don’t even think about it.
After this batch of equipment and ammunition is produced, each regiment will naturally receive the smallest share.
But if your regiments provide their own raw materials, and contract many simple but time-consuming and labor-intensive processes for the production of equipment and ammunition.
If the independent group is only responsible for the final core technology processing.
Then the equipment share that each group can finally obtain will naturally be much richer.
As for the leaders of each regiment, even their cerebellum can guess what they are thinking.
I am definitely willing to make a lot of money and get more equipment.
So a series of raw materials can be used to produce grenades, explosives, bullets, artillery shells, guns and the like.
For example, steel, copper, iron and other metals used in the production of arms, corresponding rails, copperware, copper coins, wires, ironware, etc.
In order to encourage farmers in the occupied areas to produce, the Japanese even sold fertilized field powder that could be used to make explosives.
It soon became a resource that was robbed by the leaders of various regiments.
And if you want to get these raw materials, the fastest way is to go to the little devil.
The rails of the Japanese transport trains, the wires used for communication, and some equipment in the power supply station have all become the favorite objects of looting by the Eighth Route Army troops of various regiments.
Wherever the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army passed by, they left absolutely no grass behind. Even a screw would not be left behind by the little devils.
Just like that, in less than a week, more than 500 sections of railway tracks in the Japanese-occupied areas around the Taihang Base were missing. The total weight of the missing railway tracks exceeded a thousand tons.
Along the entire railway track, only bare gravel was left, not even a single sleeper or even a rivet was found.
The Japanese wires connecting various counties and cities for communication were cut in more than 70 places, and the total number of stolen wires exceeded 5,000 meters.
The most ruthless regiment even blew up the bridges built by the Japanese with reinforced concrete, then smashed the steel bars out of the concrete and brought them back to the regiment as raw materials for production.
Some groups that are quick to move have exhausted all the resources they can grab around their base areas and guerrilla zones, and even go to the surrounding areas of other groups to grab them.
A series of sudden incidents scared the little devils in many surrounding counties. They thought that the Eighth Route Army troops were going to take advantage of the main force of the First Army to fight in southern Shanxi and launch another large-scale raid!
Full of panic, the Japanese defenders in various counties quickly switched from offense to defense, shrinking their forces, and even gave up on some small strongholds in the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla areas, and gathered their forces in some large strongholds and counties, villages and towns.
Simply withdraw from the vicinity of your Eighth Route Army base and see what else you can do.
As time continued to ferment, the crazy involution of each base area actually caused the surrounding Japanese troops to no longer dare to show their faces.
All the rails that can be pried around have been pried, all the bridges that can be blown have been blown up, and all the wires that can be cut have been cut.
Suddenly, it was hard to find any money.
The involution at this time may need to be explained differently - the Eighth Route Army regiments are competing to put in more efforts to compete for limited resources, which has led to a significant decline in the number of seizures by each regiment.
…
Niukou Village.
It was already two days after the news reached the regiment headquarters. Kong Jie was speechless for a moment after learning the news.
Originally, I just wanted to make each regiment aware of the shortcomings in troop training through an internal exchange and learning, strengthen the training of the troops, and vigorously develop the construction of the base area.
Who would have thought that it would evolve into the situation in front of us.
Fortunately, when the involution is focused on the training and operations of the troops, it is more biased towards healthy competition.
At least in such a competitive atmosphere, each regiment can start training its troops.
However, Kong Jie knew that this was not the way to go. He had to find a new outlet so that the energy of the cadres of each regiment could be used in the right direction.
In the end, Kong Jie set his goal on assisting the economic construction of each regiment.
The troops of each regiment engage in training and combat. The soldiers consume a lot of physical energy and need to eat more. If the economy is not improved and they only train without supplementing nutrition, big problems will arise.
"Have the first batch of cigarettes, chicken essence, and soju been transported to the group that wants to sell them as agents?"
At the regiment headquarters, Kong Jie called Dong San, the head of logistics, and asked.
Dong San smiled and said: "Captain, we have done everything. But as a result, the demand for our products will suddenly increase. Whether it is our cigarette factory, chicken essence factory, or winery, I am afraid we will have to expand the scale." ”
Kong Jie said: "Then continue to expand, now is the time to make money, we can't stop.
As the old saying goes, the timid will starve to death, and the bold will die of starvation. We would rather starve to death than starve to death. "
Dong San smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
