At the beginning, when a team was still an independent regiment, Kong Jie wanted to train cadres at all levels to be able to act independently and command overall.
But this kind of opportunity to hone abilities can often be found in actual combat.
Therefore, Kong Jie used this opportunity to hone his cadres' command skills as a military sand table confrontation exercise.
Cadres at all levels of a team are not familiar with this.
This has even become an old tradition for the entire team.
Not only did Kong Jie do this, but several regimental commanders at the bottom, including the battalion commanders at the battalion headquarters, also used this method to temper the cadres.
And according to what Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, Lei Dasheng and other regiment leaders knew about the old regiment leader Kong Jie, this military sand table exercise confrontation was absolutely ridiculous and would always foreshadow the war situation that everyone would face in the long run.
For this reason, several group leaders even nicknamed Kong Jie privately - the prophet!
This time I heard that Kong Jie summoned the heads of various regiments and political commissars to the detachment staff headquarters for a military sand table exercise confrontation.
Wang Leihu and other group leaders rushed there with great interest.
Looking at the military simulation sandbox that the detachment staff department has built.
The following steps are already familiar to Shen Quan and other group leaders.
"Hey, old commander, let's follow the old rules and first determine the identities of the two opposing sides. Of course, the identities of the two opposing sides are obvious. One side is the little devil, and the other side must be our Eighth Route Army."
When the heads of each regiment and the political commissars arrived, Kong Jie also made some lengthy opening remarks, directly pointed to the military simulation sand table, and invited everyone to join in the simulated confrontation before them.
Lei Dashen, the acting leader of the group, was the first to speak.
Then, he quickly added: "Old Shen, Lei Hu, you have said these things in advance, but you can be a little devil!"
Wang Lei Hule, leader of the Second Regiment: "If we are willing to be Japs together, then we are both happy to be Japs?"
"Nevermind, you are as insidious as the little devil anyway." Lei Dasheng shook his head.
Kong Jie: “Know yourself and your enemy, and you will be defeated in a hundred battles.
We have been waiting for the Eighth Route Army to simulate the Japanese army. In fact, it has the greatest effect on improving our command capabilities.
Are they happy?
Okay, then give this good thing to Shen Quan! This time, Shen Quan simulated the Japanese army. "
Although Kong Jie's words sounded nice, he only saw strange looks from the two old comrades beside him, Lei Dasheng and Wang Leihu.
Shen Quan was happy on the spot: "Old regiment commander, I have been a little devil in the past few military confrontation exercises, how can I still be a devil now?"
Kong Jie still spoke, and Wang Leihu who was beside him said with joy: "Old Shen, this little devil is cunning and cunning, and among us, the boy is the best at using dirty tricks. If he is a devil, who should be a devil??"
Chen Quan: "…………"
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with what I said.
In response to this, Shen Quan could only retort: "Thunder Tiger, I agree with what I said, but have you discovered it now? This is the most deceitful appearance, but in fact it is still Zhongtiao Mountain!"
Well, Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Regiment who still had his eyes set on the anti-Japanese war in Tiaoshan, was shot while lying down!
Seeing that the group leaders meant to end the topic, Kong Jie immediately interrupted: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business. Let's just say, Shen Quan, this time the Japanese army will still be simulated."
Jian Kongjie made up his mind, and Shen Quan, who looked helpless, could only nodded, and then said: "If you are a devil, just be a devil!
But, the old leader, at least he has to make Yoshio Shinozuka give in, right?
It’s fun to have a little fight! "
Kong Jie: “Who is Yoshio Shinozuka?
This time, Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the simulated Japanese army dispatched to the North China front, was asked to command the entire Japanese army in the North China front. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops could be mobilized. "
As soon as he said these words, Shen Quan's eyes were filled with energy, and his originally rather depressed mood due to the simulated Japanese army immediately turned from gloomy to sunny.
"Haha, old leader, let's make an agreement then!"
Shen Quan, who seemed to have suddenly transformed into the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Expedition Army, straightened his face, and then spoke loudly to Wang Leihu and Lei: "The Japanese commander-in-chief of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, is here, Xiaoxiao Eighth Route Army." , just let it go!"
This military sandbox exercise confrontation officially kicked off...
Then, the cadres' eyes focused on the military simulation sandbox produced by the staff department, and several regiment leaders immediately discovered the problem.
Shen Quan was the first to speak: "Huh?
Old leader, is this a good situation?
Is the simulated area of this sandbox too large?
Here we look at our team, heading back to the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, and then heading north to the Jizhong base area.
This small sand table can cover all our three major base areas in one go. "
Kong Jie smiled: "Why do you think we let Okamura Neji be the one?"
Chen Quan thought for a while and felt relieved, "That's right!"
Then, the candidate representing the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army was determined.
Kong Jie finally set his sights on Wang Leihu, leader of the Second Regiment.
Wang Leihu immediately straightened his body and responded: "Please rest assured, captain of the detachment, promise to complete the mission and fight this anti-Japanese war successfully!"
After the exercise confrontation officially begins.
Chief of Staff Xu Guoan strode forward and spoke loudly: "Everyone should be aware of the specific situation of our simulated confrontation. Let me briefly introduce it to you first."
As he spoke, Xu Guoan pointed at the terrain of the simulated sand table with the teaching stick in his hand, and then introduced:
"The Taihang Base Area is the largest base area of our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi and the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army. It can almost be said to be the most solid backing for our Eighth Route Army.
This is the target that the Japanese army in North China, represented by Okamura Neiji, has always wanted to eradicate.
Especially after we opened up the Taiyue base area, Taihang and Taiyue base areas are connected, which makes the little devil even more headache.
The Japanese want to eradicate the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, and it has already been a matter of one or two days. "
The stick then pointed to the sand table, representing the area of the Jizhong Military Region: "The Jizhong Military Region has fertile and vast arable land, a dense population, and dense farmland. It is known as the granary of our Eighth Route Army.
The little devils have always regarded the Jizhong Military Region as the military depot and logistics center of our Eighth Route Army.
This Jizhong Military Region has long been a serious problem that the Japanese have been trying to get rid of.
So what we are simulating this time is an unprecedented large-scale sweep launched by the Japanese army in order to target our Taihang base area and the Central Hebei Military Region, and even sweep across North China! "
"This major sweep will be coordinated by the commander-in-chief of the Japanese dispatched troops in North China, Okamura Neiji, who was simulated by Shen Quan, as the highest commander.
This large-scale raid was planned for Taihang Taiyue and even the Jizhong base area. "
"Chief of Staff, what about that? What identity does the eye represent?" Wang Leihu, the commander of the Second Regiment, asked expectantly.
"Captain of the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi." Kong Jie said from the side.
Wang Leihu choked on the spot, and when he spoke, his expression was even more comical.
Kong Jie glared and laughed: "Why, do you think the position is too small? Are you satisfied?"
"That's it!"
Seeing his old regiment leader's eyes widening, Wang Leihu shook his head quickly, and then smiled: "Old regiment leader, we are equal!
Talking about the Japanese commander-in-chief of North China represented by Lao Shen, Okamura Neiji.
Now here, why does he only represent the captain of our team? "
Kong Jie: "Nonsense, let's conduct this military sandbox simulation confrontation. The ultimate goal is to conduct a rehearsal in advance and guard against a similar real war that may occur unexpectedly.
Before the Japanese launched such a large-scale raid, Guan Gangcun Ningji was in charge, and Shinozuka Yoshio was in charge.
The number of people among us can only command one of our teams.
What we are considering is that we are the only team to deal with this kind of situation.
A big sweep, how to prepare and fight.
Why, do you still want to represent the boss and command the formation of our Eighth Route Army troops? "
"How dare you!" Wang Leihu, who was instantly relieved, smiled, "Hey, old captain, that's very polite."
Kong Jie: "Don't be polite. From now on, this simulated confrontation exercise will officially begin. Our entire team, including everyone, will be dispatched from now on."
"That's a good feeling, ahem——"
Wang Leihu said, straightening his collar and clearing his throat.
Chen Quan, who represented Okamura Neji, spoke:
"We are now in charge of the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Dispatch Force in North China, Okamura Neiji!"
As he said that, he pointed to the Jizhong Military Region on the sand table, and then pointed to the base area of a team in the Taihang Base Area, "These two places, the Jizhong Military Region, are the military depots and logistics granaries of the Eighth Route Army.
In another place, this Eighth Route Army detachment is the gateway to the Taihang Base of the Eighth Route Army. It can also be called the granary and economic center of the Taihang Base.
These two places are of extremely high military value to our Eighth Route Army troops.
Okamura naturally had to find a way to destroy these two major granary bases of our Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. "
As he spoke, Shen Quan, who seemed to be completely absorbed in the drama, indeed brought out some of the insidiousness and cunning of the Japanese commander-in-chief Okamura Neiji.
He spoke slowly: "Okamura is quite insidious, cautious, low-key, and ferocious.
This battle against the two major granary bases of our Eighth Route Army is of great importance. It affects the whole body. Be fully prepared and you will definitely do it easily!
For the operations in the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Base Area and Taihang Taiyue Base Area, a gradual encroachment plan and mopping up plan began as early as 1941.
So far, the Japanese army has built thousands of forward strongholds in the central Hebei area. In addition, in conjunction with the blockade of railway lines and highway lines, the connections between the various base areas in central Hebei have been cut off.
Once a battle breaks out, these measures and preparations can provide significant assistance to the Japanese army's large-scale raids.
In addition, if we attack Jizhong and return a team, we can naturally let them notice in advance..."
Shen Quan, who entered the role, quickly thought about what he would do if he was Okamura Neiji, facing the Jizhong base area and a team.
After a while, Shen Quan came up with an idea: "In order to paralyze the judgment of our Eighth Route Army, we will continue to occupy the major counties, cities and towns around our base area to carry out public security and strengthen public security and stability.
On the one hand, we continued to build a large number of forward strongholds, and continued to extend the partition trenches covering both sides of the railway and main traffic roads.
At the same time, the Japanese army will build a blockade consisting of stone walls and bunkers along the foot of the mountainous area west of Jinghan Road to cut off the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army in western Hebei and eastern Hebei to the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei.
Because the target is the Jizhong Military Region, it is natural to also consider the issue of reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army in its base area.
All this will be done secretly, just like boiling a frog in warm water. After the sudden outbreak of a large-scale raid, the Eighth Route Army will be caught off guard.
In addition, we know that the Eighth Route Army will form militia units in some villages to deal with the Japanese army.
For the same reason, Okamura will also set up some organizations similar to our militia groups in a large number of villages in the occupied areas. Of course, they are self-defense groups of the Japanese army.
The quality requirements of these self-defense groups are too high, and we also use them to deal with the main force of our Eighth Route Army.
It can only be used against our Eighth Route Army militia troops, and that is enough.
This is enough to allow our Eighth Route Army's counter-mopping up to spread to the vast countryside and encounter great obstacles..."
Then, as Shen Quan, who represented Okamura Neji, spoke intermittently, the faces of several other group leaders and political commissars were gradually replaced by seriousness.
As a veteran of the original independent regiment, Shen Quan is actually a very knowledgeable and thoughtful general.
At this moment, the deployment of the Japanese army described is actually not nonsense. On the contrary,
, completely based on the enemy situation in Jizhong area.
In the first team of these situations, everyone also understood the battle situation analysis course held by Kong Jie in each base area.
So everyone knows very well that what Shen Quan said is definitely something that a little devil can do.
In the silence of the generals, Shen Quan continued to speak: "That's not all. I have only told one-tenth of the means prepared by the Japanese army!
...Using the spies that have been secretly planted in our Jizhong base area over the years...let the Ministry of Communications decipher the radio code of our Jizhong Military Region in advance...including all aspects of our Jizhong base area that our Japanese army has collected in large quantities in the past two years information...
This is enough to carefully formulate the most suitable combat plan for all aspects of this sweep.
In addition, once this large-scale raid is launched, in addition to targeting our Eighth Route Army troops, it will also target the common people in the Jizhong base area.
Looting, suppressing by force, and even massacre, no matter how cruel or ruthless these methods are, can only be used against our Eighth Route Army, and we little devils can use them!
The Japanese army had only one ultimate goal. In one fell swoop, the Japanese army wiped out the main combat forces in our central Hebei base area. They also worked with the generals to destroy the agricultural foundation, economic foundation, etc. in the central Hebei base area, completely destroying the so-called military depots and facilities of our Eighth Route Army. Logistics center..."
In the whole conference room, only Chen Quan's voice echoed at this moment.
Cadres know this better than anyone else.
Chen Quan now represents the methods Okamura Neji said, and he will definitely use all the little devil's methods.
Once the Japanese launch such a large-scale raid, their methods will definitely become more insidious and ruthless.
However, even though Shen Quan could guess the insidious methods of the Japanese army, all the regiment leaders and political commissars present fell into complete silence...
838 The generals fell into silence
