A good move can divert disaster to the east.
After scolding the Central Army like this, the remaining commanders of the Shanxi-Sui Army saw the change in the direction of the wind and hurriedly followed suit and cursed the Central Army for its incompetence.
Such a sincere scene made the cadres of the Independent Regiment look a little dumbfounded.
The Central Army is the national army, but your Jinsui Army is not?
Isn’t this motherfucker taking fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps?
Shen Quan and other cadres secretly lamented that our regiment leader was the most powerful. After a few words, these Jinsui Army officers were stunned and could not refute, and even turned around and cursed the Central Army.
When Kong Jie smiled and asked, "Do we still need to establish this joint command headquarters and unify command authority?"
The commanders of the Jinsui Army, who looked generous before, all shook their heads.
How can I have the nerve to mention unified command?
If we really look at the record, over the past year or so, the Jinsui Army and the Central Army have been losing battles, while the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area have been winning battles.
You can't really put all the troops in the World War II zone under the command of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, can you?
Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Kong, your Eighth Route Army is behind enemy lines and is good at guerrilla warfare. Our Jinsui Army is good at positional warfare. The two armies are in different environments and specialize in different tactics. Naturally, they cannot be confused and blindly unified command. Let’s use our respective strengths to fight against Japan together!”
Kong Jie smiled and said, "Best regards, Brother Chu!"
Then talking about the most important elements of the anti-Japanese force, Kong Jie said:
"I believe that the strength of an army lies first in its people, in the spirit of its soldiers, and in its military soul. If an army has the will to move forward bravely and is not afraid of death, then even if this army is poorly equipped and lacks ammunition, Even though he is scarce, he is still a force of steel that cannot be underestimated!"
"On the contrary, if an army lacks the will to fight and does not even know why it is fighting, even if it has the most sophisticated equipment, it will collapse on the battlefield and lose again and again."
"So what can determine the outcome of a war is never the weapon, but the person holding the weapon!"
Chu Yunfei deeply agreed: "Yes! Soldiers should have the backbone of soldiers, and the same is true for the army. An army with backbone will be invincible and invincible. Even if the last person dies in the battle, the rest of the army will be invincible." His soul will not be extinguished, his fighting spirit will not weaken, and he will still dare to launch the final charge against the enemy. This is the backbone that a soldier should have!"
"Just like our Eighth Route Army troops!" Kong Jie said quite naturally.
Chu Yunfei: "......"
Kong Jie seemed not to notice Chu Yunfei's deflated look and continued: "The combat effectiveness of an army is very important to see the battle damage it can withstand."
"Some troops have poor combat awareness and lack of discipline. They will be completely defeated if less than half of their battle losses are lost."
"You can recruit 10,000 troops like this, but their actual combat strength is less than 5,000. How can you expect them to win a battle?"
Changing the topic, Kong Jie added: "But some troops are different and can even fight to the last soldier."
"Take our Eighth Route Army troops as an example. I can't guarantee that for other regiments, at least for all the companies under my independent regiment, on the battlefield, as long as I give an order, unless the entire company is killed, there will never be a single one. Soldiers withdraw from the battlefield early."
These words were said with full assurance.
A commander of the Jinsui Army questioned: "Captain Kong, what you said is a bit exaggerated, isn't it?"
Kong Jie did not explain, but just asked: "In our Eighth Route Army, in any combat charge, cadres must rush at the front and evacuate at the back."
"When charging, the squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander take the lead in the charge. When evacuating, the squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander are the last to evacuate."
"If the situation is critical, I, Kong Jie, can also charge on the front line with a submachine gun. If anyone sees me, Kong Jie, turning around and running away first, you can shoot me directly!"
"I would like to ask, if we can achieve this step, will there still be soldiers who desert their positions because they are afraid of death?"
"What I also want to ask is, can the officers in your Jinsui Army do this?"
This time, even Chu Yunfei fell silent at the rhetorical question.
Chu Yunfei was a pure soldier, an iron-blooded general. He dared to pat his chest and say that he would not be afraid of death on the battlefield, and even took the lead in charging.
But he didn't dare to guarantee whether the more than 5,000 men in his 358th Regiment could achieve this level.
Why did the soldiers of the Jinsui Army come to serve as soldiers?
The reason is clear to Chu Yunfei. Most of them are for food and military pay. When the time comes when life is really at stake, how much fighting spirit can a mouthful of food and a little military pay inspire in the soldiers?
Chu Yunfei was silent for this, lamenting the current situation of the Jinsui Army, but he was helpless and powerless.
After a while, perhaps out of anger, Chu Yunfei took out two guns from his waist at lightning speed and fired two shots into the air. In response, two sparrows fell from the group of sparrows flying above.
This quick shooting skill is really amazing. The surrounding Shanxi-Sui Army officers and some Eighth Route Army cadres also secretly marveled.
Chu Yunfei's somewhat angry words rang out:
"Soldiers should have backbone and serve for glory. If they are still greedy for life and afraid of death on the battlefield, even if they put on a military uniform, they will only have skin and no bones, and they cannot be considered true soldiers."
"I read the sword with the lamp burning in my mouth, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company."
"Chu is just a warrior, how can he care about those things? When he goes to the battlefield, he can only serve his country with his death and wrap his body in horse leather, that's all! He can live up to the cultivation of the party and the country, and he can live up to the trust of the people. To die so vigorously, this life will not be the same. It’s not a pity!”
The iron bones are strong and the words are sonorous.
The cadres of Shen Quan and his independent regiment also secretly admired him.
It is rare to have such a character in the Jinsui Army. No wonder the regiment leader and others are filled with emotion every time they mention Chu Yunfei.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Kong Jie laughed and said: "Brother Chu, soldiers are on the battlefield and are always ready to die to serve the country. How can you care about your reputation after death?"
"It's better to leave these emotions until the war is over!"
Chu Yunfei came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Brother Kong is still open-minded and can see clearly!"
The atmosphere improved a little, and several recruit companies started regular training again. Chu Yunfei looked at the soldiers of the recruit companies training in a decent manner and asked:
"Brother Kong, I have always wanted to ask. According to what some brothers said earlier, this unit on the training ground is just the recruit company of your independent regiment?"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Yes, this is a batch of new soldiers recruited by our independent regiment. They have been training for a month and two days. Brother Chu, please help me see how the training is going."
Chu Yunfei was a little surprised. He looked at the training of the new recruits on the training ground for a moment, and said with sincere admiration: "The discipline is strict, and every move of the soldiers shows solid military skills. If Brother Kong didn't tell me, I would still Think of him as a veteran who has been in the army for more than half a year!"
"It seems that Brother Kong's method of training soldiers must be unique."
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Brother Chu, thank you. As the old saying goes, you will know whether a mule is a mule or a horse. Good training does not mean that you are good in actual combat."
"It just so happens that Brother Chu, you are here. Our recruit company has been training for more than a month and is preparing to conduct a military simulation exercise to test the results of the recruit training. I would like to invite Brother Chu and all the regiment leaders to visit. visit."
Chu Yunfei said: "I can't ask for it!"
He also wanted to see what kind of combat effectiveness this recruit who had been training in the independent regiment for more than a month could show.
Kong Jie quickly issued the order, and that afternoon, he conducted an on-site simulated military confrontation exercise for new recruits on a hilltop outside Gentu.
The exercise team found a viewing platform for Kong Jie and his party in the mountains with a wide view and high terrain, where they could have a panoramic view of the entire battle. Then, each of Kong Jie and the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army were equipped with a telescope, which could be used at any time. Observe the process of military simulation exercises in more detail.
After everything was arranged, Shen Quan, the person in charge of the exercise, rushed to the viewing platform and reported to Kong Jiehui: "Report to the leader, all the drill personnel from both sides are in place and can conduct simulated confrontation exercises at any time. Please give instructions to the leader."
Kong Jie said: "First explain the content of this simulation to the friendly forces."
"yes!"
Shen Quan responded and explained to Chu Yunfei and his party: "Everyone, for this simulation exercise, we have divided the four recruit companies into two sides, the Eastern Army and the Western Army. The Eastern Army has a reinforced company. The strength and number of troops simulates a full squadron of the Japanese army, about two hundred people."
"After the simulated combat exercise begins, the Eastern Army will occupy the commanding heights of the mountain and build tight defenses in advance to simulate the Japanese elite troops. They will have better equipment, sufficient ammunition, and one rifle and four grenades per capita. In addition, Each squadron of the Eastern Army is equipped with two light machine guns and one grenade launcher, for a total of eighteen light machine guns and nine grenade launchers, and the entire company also has three heavy machine guns."
"The Western Army simulated the equipment situation of our army. Each person was equipped with a rifle, two grenades, only a few light machine guns, and no heavy machine guns or grenade launchers."
"The simulation is a full-scale attack launched by our army after encircling the Japanese squadron on the hilltop!"
Kong Jie nodded, "Okay, the drill can begin!"
"yes!"
After Chen Quan passed on the order, the simulated confrontation exercise between the Eastern Army and the Western Army officially kicked off.
Chu Yunfei held up his telescope and looked at the mountainous terrain simulating combat for a moment, then put down the telescope and said: "Four recruit companies and one reinforced company are used to simulate the size of the Japanese squadron. There are not many troops left. The Western Army is in terms of strength. It doesn’t have any advantage.”
Kong Jie said: "Brother Chu is right. The strength of the Western Army is only slightly greater than that of the Eastern Army."
"This is actually the experience gained by our Eighth Route Army after many battles with the Japanese army.
The Japanese army often used squadrons as separate combat units.
And if we want to deal with a Japanese squadron, an ordinary company only has about a hundred people, which is insufficient strength.
As for a battalion, there are too many troops and the command lacks pertinence.
Therefore, we have developed a corresponding strengthened company to deal with the Japanese squadrons. Using the company against the squadron, we must ensure that our combat units at the same level can deal with the Japanese individual combat units. "...
