... "Lao Kong, according to the news passed by Qian Shoucai, Yang Chongshan has agreed to privately reach a plan for this joint counterattack with our team."
A team headquarters.
A few days later, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan, who learned the news, reported the matter to Kong Jie.
He continued: "Speaking of it, this old boy Yang Chongshan is quite cunning. He wants to take advantage but doesn't want to get into trouble.
According to Yang Chongshan's intention, firstly, he did not want to publicize this matter, and secondly, this old boy also wanted to consider whether to attack Baiyang Town based on the scale and movement of our counterattack against the Japanese army this time.
He is a cunning old fox. If our big winter counterattack this time makes too little noise, according to the old boy's courage, he may not dare to attack Baiyang Town.
But this guy can't expect our Eighth Route Army to knock down Baiyang Town and then directly give him the 57th Regiment, right?
In this regard, Kong Jie, who had a smile on his face, was much calmer: "This Yang Chongshan is also the commander of the Shanxi-Sui Army after all. To be able to stay in that position for so many years, he naturally has some tricks.
Having said that, the two of us cooperate to get what we need.
It is easy to understand that Yang Chongshan has some demands. If he really foolishly follows our instructions and attacks Baiyang Town, then I will have to consider changing my partners.
After all, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs! "
"In addition..." Kong Jie said confidently: "Due to the confidentiality of this military operation, Yang Chongshan will naturally not know about our upcoming winter counterattack by the Japanese army.
Wait until our comprehensive counterattack is fully launched.
The entire northwestern Shanxi would probably be in chaos, and the movement and scale could be so big that Yang Chongshan would doubt his life.
When the time comes, are you afraid that Yang Chongshan won't eat the fat meat that's on his lips? "
"That's true!" Xu Guoan smiled and nodded.
…
"political commissar!"
The guard's voice came from outside the yard to say hello.
After a moment, following the sound of footsteps, political commissar Li Wenjie opened the curtain of the inner room and strode in.
When he saw Kong Jie and Xu Guoan, the change in temperature made him shiver and sighed: "It's getting colder day by day!"
"I told you a long time ago that you are a scholar and your body is too thin. Since it's winter, you should put on the velvet winter coat from our detachment's quilt factory as soon as possible. What's wrong with you and this weather?" Kong Jie said.
Li Wenjie said: "Captain, there are still many comrades in our detachment, and the problem of cotton-padded clothes in winter has not been completely solved!"
"What, you're talking about your ax, but you really got it?
Every soldier in our detachment has to wear cotton-padded clothes. Only a political commissar like you would wear cotton-padded clothes, right?
But if you, the political commissar, fall ill, who will solve these problems for the soldiers? "Kong Jie, who is like an elder brother, really tried to persuade me.
"That's right, Wenjie, aren't you being childish! That hell will never be empty and that you will never become a Buddha are all myths only found in dramas. You, a scholar, can't you take it seriously?"
Xu Guoan on the side laughed.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Anyway, you have to remember that this body is the capital of all revolutions.
By the way, Wenjie, how is the situation in the laboratory? "Kong Jie changed the topic.
Li Wenjie replied: "Don't worry, head, everything is going well.
After John sent over all the equipment we need for production, our cave secret research institute has been officially launched.
At present, various cultivation and research projects are progressing very quickly. According to the progress, it is estimated that in less than half a month, after the efficacy of the drug is actually tested, the penicillin we developed can be officially put into mass production. "
"Very good!
! "
Kong Jie's face showed a rare joy.
Xu Guoan also expressed emotion: "If special effects like penicillin can be mass-produced, it is self-evident what it means to our Eighth Route Army.
Lao Kong, this is so important. This kind of special medicine has always been more expensive than gold, and it is still priceless.
The conditions in our Eighth Route Army are already difficult. Soldiers were injured on the battlefield, and this medicine is what they need most for wound infection.
But we are short of medicine, and we can only watch our soldiers being tortured by the disease. The feeling of powerlessness is really disappointing.
But now, if our penicillin can be officially put into mass production, every injured soldier in our Eighth Route Army can use this special medicine.
How many more than tens of millions of lives can be saved?
Lao Kong, you are doing this to benefit the three armies, and even to be famous throughout the ages! "
Kong Jie said: "Old Xu, what you said, even if this benefits the three armies, it is also the joint efforts of all the soldiers and civilians of our team, and it is also the result of the day and night efforts of the members of our research institute.
In other words, one more of me is not more, and one less of me is not less. Don’t blindly put a high hat on me! "
"You are so humble!" Xu Guoan smiled and shook his head. Pure revolutionaries really don't care about this, and the three of them immediately changed the subject.
Mentioning the situation in the concession and the matter of Old John from the United States, Xu Guoan sighed again:
"After the United States declared war on Japan, the Japanese army has used force to occupy the concession. Now in the concession, everyone, whether British or American, has been driven away by the little devils.
Speaking of which, Lao Kong, I have to admire your foresight!
Long before the Pacific War broke out, you predicted the great possibility of this war quite predictably.
Later, you strongly advocated cooperation with the Soviets.
Relying on the golden sign of Soviet businessmen who signed the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty with the Japanese, we guaranteed our various businesses in the Japanese-occupied areas.
Now it seems that this trick is too clever! "
Speaking of his admiration, Xu Guoan couldn't help but say: "Old Kong, let me be honest with you. Sometimes I even feel that this historical trend is written by you yourself."
Ha ha ha ha--
Huayin fell, and the three of them couldn't help laughing anymore.
Then the topic turned to this winter counterattack.
Xu Guoan once again said: "So far, this major winter counterattack launched against the Japanese army's remote township strongholds has been fully prepared and all aspects are in place.
In other words, we can launch this counterattack at any time now.
It's just Lao Kong, do you still insist on waiting for this heavy snow that doesn't know when it will appear? "
Actually, as early as a week ago.
Xu Guoan, including the leaders of each regiment, have repeatedly applied to the headquarters to officially start this winter counterattack.
Even the brigade commander personally called to inquire about the matter, and also asked Kong Jie on the phone what he thought and when exactly he would launch this winter counterattack.
In the end, Kong Jie was against all opinions. His original words at the time were as follows: "After this period of preparations for this winter counterattack, although everything is ready, there is still a lack of an opportunity. We only need the east wind." Got it!"
"Old commander, what exactly is Dongfeng?" Wang Leihu, the leader of the second regiment, asked with a confused look on his face.
Kong Jie’s answer was: “Snow, a heavy snowfall, that is the east wind and opportunity we are waiting for!”
The cadres naturally understood that this battle was originally defined as a winter counterattack.
If there is a heavy snow cover, it will also restrict the Japanese army's mechanical vehicle operations.
Facing this sudden heavy snow, the Japanese army was unprepared, but the Eighth Route Army had already been prepared.
One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and for the Eighth Route Army, it can naturally occupy the greatest advantage at the right time and place.
“But, old captain, who can decide this matter of God?
What if it doesn't snow, what if it's just light snow that can't even cover your feet? "
This is true.
No matter how powerful you are, Captain Kong, you can't even figure out whether it will snow heavily, right?
In addition, this winter counterattack has actually been prepared until now. If we don't seize the time and launch the operation at a suitable time point.
As time drags on, on the one hand, it will become more and more difficult to keep this operation secret. After all, as time drags on, the fire cannot be contained, and the news will be leaked easily.
On the other hand, as the old saying goes, once you make great efforts, you will fail again, and you will try your best three times.
The soldiers are already ready for battle, excitement and excitement have already surged into their hearts. If the delay continues, morale will definitely fall.
Therefore, although Kong Jie is the detachment leader, he is still under great pressure from all parties.
At this time, faced with the question from Chief of Staff Xu Guoan, after thinking for a moment, Kong Jie replied: "This heavy snow is really important for our winter counterattack.
If there is, the probability of our final victory in the battle will increase by at least 30%.
In addition, the combat results will definitely be greatly improved.
So I've been waiting... It's just that the time has reached this point, and everyone is right, we can't put the opportunity for the final battle on this illusory weather. "
"Three days!"
Kong Jie raised three fingers and said decisively: "I know the consequences of delaying time in this battle, so we can wait for three more days at most. After three days, if the heavy snow has not fallen, we will Launch this counterattack immediately!"
…
…
20th.
At night, the cold wind howls and scrapes people's faces, like a knife cutting them; the cold current surges around, like falling into an ice cave.
The temperature across northwest Shanxi dropped sharply, and the weather was frighteningly cold.
The monk was afraid that Kong Jie would freeze, so he added a few extra handfuls of firewood to the stove to keep the earthen kang connected to the detachment headquarters warm.
..."Well, after the coal stove is heated up, the temperature is not bad. There are more people here, and the room will be much warmer.
However, you still need to pay attention to ventilation. Our propaganda cadres have all popularized the principles and symptoms of carbon dioxide poisoning.
Squad leader nine, you should pay more attention and take good care of all the comrades in the class. "
At this time, Kong Jie was checking the warmth of the soldiers' bunks at a certain company station near the headquarters. Before leaving, he repeatedly explained to the ninth squad leader.
The ninth squad leader immediately responded: "Detachment leader, don't worry! It's late today and it's cold. You should go back and rest quickly!"
"okay!"
Kong Jie nodded, and after leaving the tongpu of Class 9, he rushed to several other nearby tongpu.
When the ninth squad leader who sent Kong Jie out returned to Tongpu, the soldiers were warming themselves on the honeycomb briquette stove and sighing:
"Our leader is so kind. It's so late at night and it's such a cold day. He even came to see if the place where we sleep is warm or not!"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"That's right! Can we survive the cold? Of the entire Eighth Route Army, our team has the best conditions!"
"Why? Our detachment leader is capable!"
Returning to Tongpu, the ninth squad leader closed the door and said with a smile: "Okay, stop nagging everyone. If you really want to thank our squad leader, you should get some sleep for me as soon as possible. There may be a battle tomorrow." , don’t let the chain fall when the time comes!”
"Hey, monitor, it's necessary, just take a look."
"that is!"
Not long after, the dead silence of the cold night completely enveloped the entire team base.
Kong Jie was lying on the kang. It was definitely not cold at all. Deep down in his heart, he couldn't help scolding the monk for making the kang too hot. He felt heartburn when he fell asleep.
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, still thinking about the snow.
According to Kong Jiemo Lake's memory, it seems that there was a heavy snowfall at the end of this year.
It's just that it's too old, and Kong Jie isn't particularly sure about the memory.
So what if it doesn’t snow this winter, or the snow comes very late?
So Kong Jie finally made up his mind to wait for three more days. If the heavy snow he was waiting for did not fall within these three days, he would have no choice but to start this winter counterattack.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Kong Jie still couldn't fall asleep, so he simply put on a coat and opened the door, wanting to go out for some air, but he always felt a little stuffy in the room.
The rotating shaft of the wooden door, which was quite old, made a squeaking sound as it turned. Kong Jie tried his best to make the noise as small as possible.
The voice outside the door still rang, "Captain, why aren't you asleep yet?"
When the voice fell, the monk rubbing his eyes was already standing in front of Kong Jie.
The detachment headquarters is a suite. The inner room is connected to the outer room and has bedrooms. Every time Kong Jie wants to go out of the inner room, he must pass through the outer room.
In order to ensure Kong Jie's safety, the monk usually lives in an outhouse.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "You kid, did you wake up with just such a little noise?"
The monk replied: "That's necessary. I have to protect the safety of the leader. Even the slightest disturbance cannot be ignored."
"You're still promising!" Kong Jie said happily.
"Hey, Commander, you've trained me well, how about I go somewhere to make a living?
Captain, do you want to go out for a walk? "
"Yeah!" Kong Jie nodded.
"Then I'll go with you!" The monk said and came closer.
Kong Jie said: "In such a cold weather, do you really think your body is made of iron? Put on your coat first!"
"Eh!"
The monk responded, quickly put on his clothes, and then accompanied Kong Jie to open the wooden door of the outer room and walked into the small courtyard.
The wooden door suddenly opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in. The sudden drop in temperature made both the monk and Kong Jie shiver.
The monk said: "It's really cold today!
Captain, why don't we stay a little longer and go into the house quickly?
If I freeze you again, the political commissar will scold me to death! "
"Not urgent!"
Kong Jie shook his head and looked up at the sky. There was no light pollution of later generations, no noise of later generations, and no bustling traffic of later generations. There was only silence and tranquility.
Between the confusion of everything and the reality, Kong Jie couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. The experience of the two lives was just like a dream in a blink of an eye.
"Captain, are you hoping that God will make a heavy snowfall?"
The monk on the side suddenly spoke, bringing Kong Jie's thoughts back to reality.
Kong Jie smiled and said, "Do you know this too?"
The monk smiled heartlessly, but his words were sincere: "Hey, leader, not only I know this, everyone actually knows that you have been worried about the snow!
We all know that if there is a heavy snowfall in this winter counterattack, it will definitely be much smoother, and maybe our team's sacrifices will be reduced a lot.
In addition, you are the leader of our detachment. No one can feel how heavy the burden is on your shoulders. Only you know it.
I may not know anything else, but I know that no one hopes for such a heavy snowfall more than you, the leader! "
At the end, the monk's words were categorical: "Captain, don't worry, the heavy snow will definitely come!"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Monk, I really didn't realize that you are good at comforting people. Then tell me, why is this heavy snow coming?"
The monk said firmly: "That's for sure, who is the leader of our family?
There is nothing that my leader can't do.
My team leader said it will snow heavily tomorrow, and the snow will come tomorrow! Even for God's sake, we have to give our leader some face. Leader, don't you think so? "
Ha ha ha ha--
Kong Jie was completely amused. He was still a little hesitant, but the monk's words were all gone.
He patted the monk on the shoulder and laughed:
"Monk, what you said is absolutely right.
We have been fighting against the Japanese for so many years. Why, if there is less snow, we will not be able to fight against the little Japanese?
Three days later, regardless of whether the snow will fall or not, we will only win in this winter counterattack and will never fail. Let’s go back to the house and sleep! "
"Hey!" the monk responded with a silly smile.
at night.
Kong Jie dreamed that there was a heavy snowfall. The heavy snow was floating and floating. The snowflakes were as big as goose paws. How about it be called goose feather snow?
Later, the thickness of the snow even submerged Kong Jie's entire body.
Captain Kong Da was almost suffocated. He suddenly woke up and realized that the quilt was covering his head. It was too tight and he could hardly breathe.
The daylight came in through the window.
It turned out to be daybreak.
Kong Jie didn't pay much attention. When he was looking around for clothes, the monk's exclamation came from the yard: "It's raining! It's raining! Captain, come and take a look, it's such a heavy snow!"
After hearing this, Kong Jie put on his clothes and rushed to the yard.
Pushing open the door, my eyes suddenly opened up. The courtyard was covered with snow and covered with ice. The whole world seemed to have changed. No matter red, green, yellow or gray, everything was covered with snow-white.
Kong Jie walked to the yard and stepped on it, his ankle was buried directly in it.
"Okay, a heavy snowfall in accordance with the weather is a good time!"
Kong Jie's mood at this moment was really indescribable. He wanted to shout to the sky: "God has opened his eyes!"
The cadres who rushed over through the snow early in the morning poured into the yard and looked at their detachment leader with admiration in their eyes!
If it weren't for the detachment leader's repeated insistence.
Who would have thought that before this winter counterattack officially broke out, there would be such a heavy snowfall?
……………………
I solemnly recommend the new science fiction book "I Can Burial All Things" by level 4 writer Han and Tang Fengyue. I won't say much more. You will know after reading it. If it doesn't look good, feel free to kill me!
