…
At this moment, what Li Yunlong said shocked all the Eighth Route Army commanders. How exaggerated were they?
Not to mention, even Kong Jie and Ding Wei, who had originally planned how Li Yunlong would open the meeting and triggered an in-depth discussion among the cadres on the future development of the Eighth Route Army's rapid reaction force, were stunned.
I have to say that Lao Li performed extremely well.
First of all, the learning culture created in the command room of this regiment and the character of a general who pursues progress are quite good.
Immediately afterwards, the momentum of his words was even more precise.
Let’s introduce the topic with the war between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty.
Everything just fell into place.
The two brigade commanders, including the dozen regiment commanders who came this time, had to admit that at this moment, they were completely impressed by Li Yunlong.
Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment felt guilty in his heart:
I haven't seen you for the past few days, why did Li Yunlong suddenly become so powerful? I heard that Lao Li has been studying during this period. Is this learning really so charming?
When Li Yunlong originally said that everyone came to visit the heavy artillery this time, he was actually putting the cart before the horse, and even said that he was buying a coffin for a pearl.
Old comrades who were familiar with Li Yunlong's character thought that Old Li was bragging again.
Doesn't his New Second Regiment have any more valuable equipment than the heavy artillery captured this time?
But following Li Yunlong's words, all the cadres who originally doubted this fell into deep thought.
The brigade commander was also full of surprise, and then he felt a little happy.
Li Yunlong, this brat, will really surprise me!
Cough cough cough——
The brigade commander coughed a few times, breaking the dead silence in the room, and then looked at Brigadier Chen standing aside: "Fat man, what do you think of what this guy Li Yunlong said?"
Looking at the proud look on the brigade commander's face when he spoke, the implication seemed to be:
Did you see that?
This is the commander of my 386th Brigade. What kind of soldiers does this general lead? Now you, Fatty Chen, know that my brother, I, am good at leading troops, right?
Brigadier Chen first looked at the leaders of his 385th Brigade, who were following him this time, and the leaders quickly averted their eyes.
At this time, the two brigade commanders were like two teachers comparing each other on how powerful the apprentices they had brought out were.
"Li Yunlong said well about his insights and analysis on building our Eighth Route Army's quick reaction force!
Our Eighth Route Army troops have always lacked a clear combat advantage against the Japanese army.
It's like a swordsman.
Our Eighth Route Army is now like a swordsman who lacks a sharp sword. How can a swordsman without a sword be called a swordsman?
If this rapid reaction force can be built into the sharp sword of our Eighth Route Army.
Perhaps this can turn our Eighth Route Army into a peerless swordsman who can destroy the Japanese invaders! "
The brigade commander echoed: "What Old Chen said is great... I heard that your 385th Brigade has also seized a lot of combat vehicles from the Japanese over the years, including some trucks, vans and motorcycles.
If you can gather all these vehicles and put them in Li Yunlong's hands, you can create this rapid response force directly under our Taihang.
Ahem, I think this sharp sword of our Eighth Route Army can be unsheathed faster! "
"..." Brigadier Chen.
At this time, the topic was completely on the right track. With Li Yunlong's words, how to build the Eighth Route Army's quick reaction force seemed to be the most important issue for the two brigade commanders, as well as the regimental commanders and political commissars who rushed to the second regiment. matter.
By the time I finally remembered that the purpose of my trip was to visit the heavy artillery, it was already completely dark.
Considering the time constraints, the brigade commanders and regimental commanders could only stay in the dark, holding flashlights, and rush to the arsenal where the heavy artillery was stored to visit these artillery pieces.
So under this heavy shadow, the darker the time.
For the cadres, these things have never really been seen before. They look more and more like giant monsters in the dark night. From a distance, people can feel the shudder. The artillery coming towards the face becomes more and more fierce. The leading cadres were shocked.
Looking at the behemoth in front of them, the cadres became more and more excited. Many regiment leaders had already started touching the cannons of the 105mm heavy howitzers.
Judging from his expression and posture, he didn't look like he was groping for a cold cannon. He clearly looked like a gentle husband caressing his tender wife.
Then, an unknown cadre suddenly started sobbing.
Moreover, the sound was difficult to suppress and gradually spread.
Because it was dark, no one knew who it was for a while.
Brigadier Chen's face suddenly darkened. Fortunately, it was dark and the expression on his face could not be seen.
Without even thinking about it, they must be some of the unpromising commanders from his 385th Brigade. Since they had never seen heavy artillery before, this was the first time they saw and touched them. I was so excited that I couldn't help crying.
"Damn it, you're a loser, why are you crying? Isn't it just a few heavy artillery pieces of the Japs?" Brigadier Chen couldn't help but cursed.
A voice still mixed with sobs replied: "Brigadier, it's not that we want to cry, but we really can't help it. It's been so difficult for us to fight against the little devils over the years.
How many comrades sacrificed their precious lives before and after this!
When I think of the little devils who used these heavy artillery to massacre our troops, I gnash my teeth with hatred and wish to eat those little sons of bitches alive.
But when I turn around and think about it, we will also have these heavy artillery in the future, how many comrades will be saved from sacrifice!
When I think of this, I feel like needles pricking my heart. Even though we are regimental commanders and we bleed without shedding tears, no matter when, no matter how painful or painful our hearts are, we still have to pretend and stand up in front of the soldiers. , persist.
Because we know that all the comrades in the group are looking at us!
But we are also human beings, living human beings, and we also have feelings! Now that I suddenly saw these heavy artillery pieces, I couldn't stop crying no matter what! "
The words that made people cry, all the regiment leaders and political commissars who felt the same, including the two brigade commanders, fell silent.
No one started to laugh at the regimental commander who couldn't help but cry because he touched the heavy artillery.
Even more cadres were infected and shed tears silently.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Captain Cheng of the 772nd Regiment quickly shouted to Li Yunlong: "I say, Lao Li, ever since these heavy artillery pieces were captured, your tail has almost reached the sky.
It's just that you have a big head and don't have a few drops of ink in your belly. Can you use this Japanese heavy artillery? "
Li Yunlong suddenly seemed to be greatly humiliated, and yelled: "Damn it, Blind Cheng, who do you look down on?
Let me tell you how I taught you how to shoot a gun. Now, how can I teach you how to have sex step by step? "
Li Yunlong said, holding a flashlight, he directly introduced the various operating parts and parts of the heavy artillery in front of him.
"Cheng Cheng, please open your eyes wide for me to see. This is the rear sight, and this is the steering gear. It is used to adjust the shooting range.
This is a height machine, used to adjust the pitch angle.
This is an artillery station hoe, used to offset the recoil.
This is an artillery retreat machine, used for reset.
This is the rangefinder, this is the artillery scope, this is the mil-position plate..."
Li Yunlong introduced it like a flowing stream. Halfway through, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Captain Cheng, who was dumbfounded as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and suddenly asked:
"Understood?"
"Uh-huh???"
What do I understand about me?
who I am? Where am I? What am I doing?
Captain Cheng's forehead was filled with a series of question marks.
Li Yunlong patted Captain Cheng on the shoulder proudly and laughed: "Old Cheng, Old Cheng, I'm not telling you that you still want to learn how to fuck when you don't know anything.
Going back to the artillery regiment of our headquarters, Lao Wu wanted to provide you with artillery support, but as a result, you couldn't even report the coordinates.
How can you ask Lao Wu to support you?
Aren't you a blind man who lights a candle, and your efforts are in vain? "
Captain Cheng felt aggrieved after being scolded. However, he was hit by Li Yunlong's dimensionality reduction and could not find any words to refute.
Seeing Captain Cheng acting like a wronged little wife, Li Yunlong was extremely happy.
Kong Jie on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said happily: "I said, Lao Li, I really can't stand that this bragging can reach your level.
After these heavy artillery were captured, you invited the two artillery battalion commanders of my first team, Howitzer and Wang Chengzhu, to your new second regiment.
I was still wondering what you wanted to do.
Now I understand. You did your homework two days in advance.
I guess those parts of the heavy artillery just now were memorized by rote after spending a lot of time in the assault, right? "
Indeed, in the past few years, the Eighth Route Army's equipment level was poor, the equipment was backward, and ammunition was scarce. Not to mention heavy artillery, many main combat regiments even did not have grenade launchers.
Just like Li Yunlong said.
At that time, the combat effectiveness of the army had not been formed, and the equipment had not been acquired. The whole regiment did not have a single heavy machine gun, and only a few light machine guns. Mortars were even more unthinkable. Two soldiers could not even carry a gun. Most of these are old sleeves, made in Hanyang, and the rifling is almost worn out.
It was not until these years, driven by the rapid development of Kong Jie's team, that the equipment level of the Eighth Route Army regiments in the Taihang base area was greatly improved.
But even the main combat regiment, even the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters, has some artillery, which are small-caliber battalion-level and regiment-level support artillery.
What's great are some 70mm or 75mm caliber mountain guns and field guns.
For example, the cadres had basically heard of the 105mm heavy howitzer and the 150mm heavy mortar that Li Yunlong had seized from the Japanese artillery testing site, but had never seen them.
Not to mention knowing how to do it.
There are only a few people in the entire Eighth Route Army who can use this kind of heavy howitzer with long range and high power, which is often used as an independent artillery unit to support artillery from a long distance.
Even the commander of the artillery battalion of a team, Howitzer, although nicknamed Howitzer, often boasted to the soldiers that he had hit the German heavy howitzer of the national army.
But in fact, I have always dreamed of being able to personally operate some heavy howitzers.
In fact, I haven't even touched it.
However, as an artillery expert, I still understand the operational theory, as long as I see those heavy artillery.
In addition, although Kong Jie did not obtain heavy artillery, there are many related books on artillery for a team, which contain detailed explanations of some heavy artillery shooting theories and techniques.
It is easy for guys like Wang Chengzhu and Howitzer, who are artillerymen, to combine them with reality and understand them.
After Li Yunlong's invitation, the howitzer rushed to the New Second Regiment non-stop and introduced the heavy artillery he captured to Li Yunlong in detail.
Now, there is a scene where Li Yunlong can pretend to reduce the dimensionality to attack Captain Cheng.
Li Yunlong, who was suddenly stepped on and hurt his foot, cursed: "Damn it, Lao Kong, why is there a traitor like you in our Iron Triangle? His elbows are all turned outward."
The words fell.
Everyone was shaking with laughter.
Commander Cheng was in a depressed mood, but he felt much better now.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Old Li, you can't blame me. I like to draw my sword to help when there is injustice on the road.
In addition, the most disgusting thing is when someone bullies an honest person.
I, Kong Jie, am honest, and you bullied me a lot back then.
Lao Cheng is also a real person, and you bully him again. Can I stand this? "
Li Yunlong cursed: "Fuck you, what you, Lao Kong, have done over the years, if you could be called an honest man, then I, Li Yunlong, would have been honest to heaven."
The two old comrades exchanged a few words with each other, and immediately destroyed the depressive atmosphere that had caused some cadres to be excited, mixed with sadness and tears due to the heavy artillery, and turned it into a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.
"What a pair of treasures!" Brigadier Chen said in front of the brigade commander.
"Who says it isn't? But our revolutionary road is difficult, and sometimes we do need such lubricants!" the brigade commander said with a smile.
"Yes, just like you!" Brigadier Chen said.
"Hey, fat man, you don't want to expose my shortcomings, do you?" the brigade commander shouted.
Brigadier Chen raised his voice: "Comrades of the 386th Brigade, let me tell you an interesting story to let you know how clever you, the old brigade commander, are."
"Back then, the two of us went to work in the fields together, pushing a cart.
Later, on the road, your brigade commander suggested that it was too tiring for two of us to walk together. It would be better for one person to push the cart and the other person to ride in the car.
When you go here and when you come back, take turns so that everyone can be more comfortable.
Then your brigade commander said that he was willing to suffer a little loss, so he would use his car to pull me there when he went there, and I would pull him when he came back. "
Captain Cheng scratched his head: "Isn't this fair?"
"Ah, that's fair!
Neither of us was working when we went there. We were relaxed and he easily pulled me over.
As a result, after a day's work, my whole bones were almost falling apart. I still had to pull the cart, and then you, the brigade commander. Think about it, is this fucking fair? "It seemed like old memories were suddenly brought back to mind, and Brigadier Chen, who was quite sad, cursed.
The soldiers were all stunned for a moment, then came to their senses and couldn't help laughing.
The old brigade commander is indeed cunning!
Finally, in such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Under the leadership of the host Li Yunlong, the cadres visited various types of artillery that Li Yunlong had seized from the Japanese artillery testing grounds and processing plants.
From mountain guns and howitzers to anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire machine guns.
Then some equipment and parts from the Japanese artillery processing factory were not missing at all.
The visit lasted until nearly ten o'clock at night, and the lingering cadres reluctantly left the arsenal while touching the heavy artillery.
Then under Li Yunlong's arrangement, he temporarily stayed in the New Second Regiment.
At night, have another urgent meeting.
In particular, we discuss the campaign direction proposed by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei to build a rapid reaction force of the Eighth Route Army, and use the rapid reaction force as a link, and even unite troops from various base areas to carry out large-scale maneuvers and infantry coordination.
Early the next morning.
The cadres of the 385th Brigade, who were busy with official duties, said goodbye to Li Yunshou.
Before leaving, Brigadier Chen pledged his guarantee. After returning, he integrated the resources of the army and tried his best to support Li Yunlong with some captured combat vehicles and some equipment and materials suitable for building a rapid reaction force.
The 385th Brigade fully supports Li Yunlong in building this rapid reaction force directly under Taihang.
In addition, Brigadier Chen, the commander of other newly formed brigades, said that he would also come forward to help Li Yunlong raise combat vehicles.
Coupled with the face of the old brigade commanders, are these two veteran brigade commanders afraid that they will not bring the various combat vehicles seized from the Japanese by other newly formed brigades?
Lao Li's goal was finally achieved, and he almost smiled crookedly.
In addition, at the meeting, Kong Jie also presented the intelligence he had received about the sudden construction of a temporary airport by the Japanese army near Licheng County.
Because Licheng County is close to the base area of the 385th Brigade.
Brigadier Chen said that after returning, he will strengthen vigilance and infiltration investigation.
To find out what conspiracy the Japanese 36th Division stationed in Changzhi is brewing.
Send away the cadres of the 385th Brigade.
Commander Wu of the headquarters artillery regiment also left with the cadres who came with him.
Before leaving, he patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder with some gratitude and said: "Old Li, don't worry, these heavy artillery will definitely not be humiliated when they are handed over to our artillery regiment. It won't be long before they The heavy artillery regiment from our headquarters can be mobilized.
One day, we will also let the little devils have a taste of the power of their own heavy artillery. "
Come and try it quickly. 】
Li Yunlong said with a dark face: "Old Wu, what you said is nice, but this time we, Old Li, will suffer a big loss.
As promised, you owe me a favor.
Whenever we, Mr. Li, need firepower support from the artillery regiment, just for this favor, you must give me a few more rounds! "
"Haha, Lao Li, don't worry!" Commander Wu responded with a smile.
"Old Li, take care!"
... Soon only the brigade commander, political commissar, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, and Zhao Gang were left in the room.
Then several people talked about the information about the kid suddenly building a machine near Licheng County.
The brigade commander said: "The Japanese army's sudden construction of an airport near Licheng County does have unusual implications. Your worries are justified.
Once the Japanese's temporary airport is located in Licheng County, it will be too close to our base. Once another large-scale operation breaks out, the time for the Japanese's air reinforcements will be greatly shortened.
This will greatly affect our normal confrontation with the Japanese infantry. "
"Brigadier, after passing Licheng and walking further north forty or fifty kilometers, that is our most important Huangyadong arsenal!" Kong Jie said.
"yes!"
The brigade commander was convinced, "We don't know yet whether the Japanese have discovered the location of our army's Huangyadong arsenal.
But the Japanese airport is located near Licheng County and can threaten our arsenal at any time.
It seems that preparations for this matter need to be made early. "
Kong Jie simply said: "Brigadier Commander, if, I mean if something unfavorable happens to our Huangyadong Arsenal.
We can move the equipment of the Huangyadong Arsenal in advance. I suggest moving it to the solid base defenses of our first team. "
As everyone knows, as soon as these words came out, the brigade commander looked at Kong Jie with some vigilance and said: "Kong Jie, I said you are not still thinking about the equipment in the headquarters arsenal, right?"
Kong Jie replied: "Brigadier, you have wronged me. Don't I, Kong Jie, even have this kind of structure and consciousness?
In fact, in the past two years, the corresponding military production and technology of our team's arsenal have developed quite well.
However, due to problems with the background of our team, this scale has always been stuck at the bottleneck and cannot be improved for the time being.
So I was thinking whether I could merge my team's arsenal with the headquarters arsenal, so that resources could be shared and perhaps the military productivity could be further improved. "
Li Yunlong on the side widened his eyes: "No, Lao Kong, this is a loss-making business. With this merger, how can your team still have any arsenal?
It’s not like you don’t know how stingy Zhang Wan and that kid are…”
A look with murderous intent seemed to look over.
Li Yunlong's words stopped abruptly.
Then I remembered that the brigade commander was still in front of me!
"Tell me what you think!" the brigade commander said.
"Yes!" Kong Jie explained: "Brigade Commander, in fact, regarding military production, a clear division of labor can improve the final production efficiency. This is definitely true.
This is just like fighting a war. There are engineers, artillery, and infantry. The army must be divided into different arms to deal with different military fields, and then they can be combined together to exert the strongest combat effectiveness.
The same is true for the development of our military industry.
There should be people who specialize in producing weapons on assembly lines, people who produce ammunition, and people who specialize in researching new weapons and explosives.
Processes with higher technical requirements should be unified for production.
Some military industry parts with lower technical requirements can be contracted by corresponding relatively simple arsenals.
In this way, different process levels correspond to different production projects and different production tasks, which can effectively improve our military's military production capacity and stimulate the development of military industry. "
"After the merger of our first team and the headquarters arsenal, there is no question of who annexes whom, but rather a more rational use of resources and cooperation with each other.
The two arsenals learn from each other's experiences, promote each other and make progress together.
Different production tasks are contracted separately to facilitate final production.
This is the direction that our Eighth Route Army's military industry development should take! "
Kong Jie has been thinking about this for a long time.
There were no such conditions in the past. Due to the frequent military operations on the front lines and the tight blockade of the Japs, large-scale raids were launched at every turn.
The Eighth Route Army's base areas were even divided into pieces by the Japanese army. It was difficult for the arsenals in the base areas to have close contact with the frontline combat troops.
Equipment and ammunition produced in arsenals also face difficulties in transporting them to frontline combat troops.
So at that time, the Eighth Route Army encouraged frontline combat units to build some simple repair shops and even small ice factories based on regiment-level combat units.
Produce some simple equipment and ammunition yourself to supply the troops' emergency needs.
But it's different now.
The base areas in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle and the base areas in Taihang and Taiyue have gradually stabilized. With the outbreak of the Pacific War and the Japanese army fighting on two fronts, the overall strength of the Japanese has declined significantly.
Coupled with the existence of the variable Kong Jie, the construction of the Eighth Route Army troops and the development of military industry surrounding the Taihang area have made great progress.
The headquarters arsenal is connected to a team's base area, making it more convenient and easier.
Therefore, it is completely possible to carry out combined production, or cooperative production.
In this way, resource utilization can be further optimized.
This is a win-win cooperation.
The arsenal of a team with relatively few equipment can even take advantage of this cooperation.
Kong Jie actually couldn't lose.
The brigade commander finally expressed his position: "As for the merger of the arsenal, your analysis is good. I will seriously consider this matter and communicate with the boss and others.
The political commissar and I have already agreed. We will see what the headquarters means later. Just wait for the news! "
"Yes, thank you brigade commander!"
After seeing off the brigade commander and the others.
Kong Jie and Ding Wei also returned to their bases.
This time they won quite a victory. First, they launched a major winter counterattack centered on one team, which achieved quite remarkable results.
In northwest Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army troops centered on a detachment attacked fiercely. The Japanese army was retreating steadily. Even the three large strongholds in Yangguan, Pingbei and Hanoi that were originally used to block the Eighth Route Army base areas were completely uprooted.
The area of base areas and guerrilla zones under the jurisdiction of a team has once again been greatly expanded.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong made a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery testing site and seized a considerable amount of equipment, artillery and ammunition.
Following one team, various units of the Eighth Route Army, which took advantage of winter to launch offensives against some Japanese towns, villages, and strongholds, also made gains.
It's almost New Year's Eve.
The Eighth Route Army troops, who have a spirit of revolutionary optimism, even in previous years when the situation of the Anti-Japanese War was extremely severe and the life of the troops was very difficult.
Soldiers always find ways to celebrate the joy of the New Year.
The situation has improved this year, and we have become much richer in materials.
This Spring Festival is naturally more and more lively.
...Unexpectedly, at noon, the brigade commander suddenly called and said to Kong Jie: "Kong Jie, get ready, go to the 385th Brigade with Li Yunlong and Ding Wei One trip.
This year, the three of you will be spending time at Lao Chen’s place! "
It doesn't matter where we celebrate the New Year. Kong Jie just said in surprise: "Brigadier, what happened?"
The brigade commander smiled and said: "That's what it is. In our brigade over the past few years, your three regiments in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle have developed the best, especially the independent regiment led by Kong Jie has grown the fastest.
Yesterday when the New Second Regiment visited the artillery, that boy Li Yunlong stole the show.
So what Lao Chen means is that he would like to invite the three of you to go over and help him take a look at the troops of his 385th Brigade and share your experience in fighting and developing in northwest Shanxi.
In addition, if the effect of this experience sharing is really good, you will have to make more trips to other new brigades in the future! "
A word of dialogue:
"Besides, I have always been a little worried about the kid building an airport near Licheng County. This time when you, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei went to the 385th Brigade, you happened to be investigating.
You three are smart. I think if the Japanese really have any conspiracy, you will be able to detect it and deal with it early. "
"Yes! Please rest assured, old brigade commander, we promise to complete the mission!"
Kong Jie immediately agreed...
