... Kong Jie looked at the huge combat map hanging in front of the conference room, covering almost half of China, and said earnestly:
"Comrades, those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region, and those who do not plan for the eternity are not enough to plan for a moment."
"For more than a year, our regiments have called on all soldiers to continue to study cultural courses and study some military theory and art of war books. I don't need to say more about what this sentence means."
At this point, no one understood what Kong Jie wanted to express.
Kong Jie smiled and did not explain directly. Instead, he talked about the step-by-step historical process of a team's development from an independent regiment to its current size.
"Until the spring of 1940, the equipment of our army, which had been developed for a year or two, was still lagging behind, and ammunition was very scarce. No two people in the regiment could carry a gun. At that time, the equipment level of the army was not even as good as ours. The militia forces under its jurisdiction today.
One can imagine how difficult the anti-war environment was at that time.
But what happened next?
In the battle of Cangyunling, we still defeated the Bantian Alliance from the front, and also defeated the old devil Bantian, and became famous in one battle! "
When talking about the history of the old independent regiment, the cadres participating in the meeting all puffed up their chests and felt a sense of pride.
The third regiment leader Shen Quan even said with a smile: "Old regiment commander, back then we were short of guns and artillery. The whole regiment only had one mortar, but we still dared to break through from the front and knocked out the Sakata Regiment with one shot. Headquarters.
Now, our equipment level and logistics supplies, including the economy of the base area, have developed rapidly, and we are even more worthy of being like little devils! "
"Well said! Over the years, our Eighth Route Army has been making continuous progress, and it can even be said to be changing with each passing day. On the other hand, the little devils are not only conducting multi-front operations, but also with the continuation of the war, they have long been unable to succeed.
Under the circumstances, today's little devils are, to put it bluntly, just paper tigers. They look scary, but as long as we work harder, we can tear them apart at any time. "
There is nothing wrong with what I said.
The five group leaders present all looked confident.
In fact, according to the original characters of these group leaders, after the topic of Kong Jie was brought up, the group leaders could not brag and boast about how far the equipment level of their groups had developed.
But no one expected that the painting style would change suddenly.
First, Wang Leihu, the most outspoken among the group leaders, spoke:
"Old Shen, I heard that your third regiment has made a fortune recently. The artillery battery has been expanded into an artillery battalion, right? I heard that there are no less than 20 mountain artillery and infantry artillery together. You kid is going to heaven. !
The intensity of artillery fire possessed by your third regiment is comparable to that of our headquarters artillery regiment a few years ago, right? "
"Hey, Thunder Tiger! You can't say that. Where have I been? Our base areas and units have developed very fast in recent years. With my little wealth, these artillery pieces really can't be put on the stage. .
If you want to say something, you can talk about the group, but the group has been hanging around under the nose of the old leader.
Lao Lei is a guy who gets closer to the water and gets the better. He may have developed to what extent with the support of the old group leader! "
"That's true!" Wang Leihu agreed.
Lei Dasheng, the leader of the first regiment, quickly denied it and said: "You two, please don't talk nonsense. I am not as good as you two old regiments. I have the foundation of the old battalion of our old independent regiment, and my family fortune is very rich. "
"If you want to say that someone has made a fortune quietly, it has to be the Fourth Regiment Commander!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the group leaders immediately focused on Wang Huaibao, the leader of the Fourth Independent Group who had remained silent.
"Old Wang, stop pretending. Every time when we talk about the seizure, you always keep silent, but in the end, when you open your mouth, you always startle everyone. I don't think Lao Lei is right at all. That’s right, among our groups, I guess your four groups have already been extremely rich, right?”
Chen Quan took the words and said:
"That's for sure. The Fourth Regiment has been fighting in the Zhongtiao Mountain area. The entire Zhongtiao Mountain area, including many counties, base areas, and guerrilla zones in southern Shanxi, can be covered by the Fourth Regiment.
Some time ago, after the fighting broke out around the Huangyadong Arsenal, Taihang Base Area, Datong, Licheng and other parties, I heard that the Fourth Regiment was not idle on the Zhongtiao Mountain side, and took the opportunity to seize the Japanese army. There are many mines in Yuncheng area.
It even includes some copper and iron mines necessary for military industry.
Even our detachment headquarters has continuously transferred corresponding military talents and equipment to the Fourth Regiment base area.
Lao Wang, stop hiding it and talk to everyone about how far your four groups have developed now? "
Wang Huaibao laughed twice. How could he confess so easily? On the contrary, he said happily:
"Otherwise, people would say that intellectuals are too narrow-minded!
You said that our old independent group had such a good style in the past. We didn’t hide anything we had to say and just said whatever came to mind.
Every time we battalion commanders fight for each other, no one gives in to the other, unlike now, each of us is more humble. Why, is it popular in business to flatter each other now? "
Business bragging is a popular word used by Kong Jie in a team.
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help laughing.
The promising development situation made the atmosphere of the entire meeting particularly relaxed.
Kong Jie stretched out his hand to signal the soldiers to quiet down and then continued:
"From the early spring of 1940, the year after we defeated Sakata United.
The issue I have been considering is mainly the defense construction of the base area.
This is also very helpless, due to our lack of logistics and insufficient equipment, so we can only rely on the terrain advantages of mountainous areas and suburbs to fight guerrilla warfare with the little devils and drag the Japanese army with them.
After that, the three regiments of our Iron Triangle formally established a joint defense system to jointly respond to the Japanese army's mopping up attacks.
It not only enhances the overall defensive stability, but also has a certain counterattack capability in the face of Japanese sweeping attacks.
This can be said to be an innovative style of play that combines deep defense in our base areas with mobile defense in neighboring base areas.
The purpose is to jointly resist the Japanese attack, wait for opportunities to ambush the Japanese mopping up troops, and attack the Japanese occupied areas in a roundabout way.
By 1941, the issue I had been thinking about was how to use mechanized forces to carry out elastic defense and elastic offense based on the mechanization of some mobile forces.
The purpose is to maintain the strategic offensive capabilities of the troops on the premise of joint defense with friendly forces, and at the same time study how to march long distances and raid the enemy's weak areas.
In 2042, this year, our team will face new challenges.
what is that?
It is a question of how to carry out comprehensive defense and local counterattack with the support of mechanized troops, and at the same time help each base area establish its own economic system, military production system, and base area defense system.
At the same time, we should also promote the field operation of mobile units in various base areas and further improve the overall strength of our Eighth Route Army. "
What Kong Jie said was so inspiring that all the group leaders present were filled with emotion and admiration.
This is the pattern and long-term vision of our old group leader!
When the old regiment leader led the independent regiment, he probably had already considered the development of the army and the construction of the base many years later.
As the leader of an independent regiment and later the detachment leader of a team, the old regiment leader never only considered the development of his own base area, but also included the surrounding base areas, even the Eighth Route Army units in various provinces, and even the New Fourth Army in the south. Development of the force.
This kind of structure and courage are really not something ordinary people can possess.
"Old leader, what is our strategic goal for 43 years?"
Wang Huaibao, the leader of the fourth regiment, couldn't help but ask.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "It's a preliminary plan!
After 43 years... Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, after the retaliatory sweep launched by the Japanese army is successfully completed.
At that time, the war situation was basically predictable. The Japanese army no longer had enough strength to launch a large-scale sweep. Their defense was at best a symbolic sweep and attack.
The only thing the Japanese can do is to station themselves firmly in major counties, towns and towns and guard some important transportation lines.
The Japanese army at this time is far from enough to contain the development of our Eighth Route Army troops and the construction of base areas.
What we should consider at this time is to take the initiative to launch local counterattacks against the Japanese army after the base areas have developed as a whole, regain remote counties, and further reduce the Japanese occupied areas.
At the same time, we took the initiative to defeat the enemy's local raids and exercise the troops' field capabilities.
In addition, further breakthroughs must be made in the construction of each base area, strengthening the relationship between each other, and even gradually shifting the economic focus of the entire region to the base area of our Eighth Route Army.
The Japanese-occupied areas were gradually put at an economic disadvantage, thus reaching the point where they could defeat the enemy without fighting.
If one day the little devils guarding the main counties, towns and towns don’t even have enough to eat, will this battle still be unwinnable?
Let alone a war, the Japanese are even willing to take out all their guns, ammunition and artillery just to exchange for a few kilograms of food with us. "
What a confident argument!
A few years ago, cadres would not have dared to think this way, but now with the development of the situation, it seems that all this will be in the not-too-distant future.
"Lao Kong, what will happen in 1944?"
At this time, even Chief of Staff Xu Guoan couldn't sit still and asked curiously.
He was also surprised by Kong Jie's long-term plan.
"The year 1944...or it can be said to be the year 1944 to 1945. These two years can basically be connected together. The battle has reached this point and the situation has basically stabilized.
Even if the Japanese army was not defeated and surrendered, it was not far away.
The Japanese army, which fights on multiple fronts, faces more opponents than China. Even if it is a conservative estimate, after 45 years, even if the Japanese do not surrender, they will gradually be at a disadvantage in the continued war until they are completely defeated by us. "
"So, from 1944 to 1945, I think our strategic intention was very clear: to integrate the military industry and economy of each base area, and to go further, to use military operations to continuously shrink the scope of the Japanese occupation area and attack the effective strength of the Japanese army.
Establish passages in Rehe and Chahar, gradually advance to the outer Xing'an Mountains area, try to penetrate into the Northeast, and fight a long tug-of-war with the Japanese.
This is the last step to pull the plug. Since the Japs invaded China, the Puppet Manchukuo, which has been under their complete control since the September 18th Incident, can be said to be the multiple military, economic, military, and political centers of the Japs.
It can be said to be the heart of the Japanese army.
It is not enough to completely defeat the Japanese army without completely destroying the heart of the Japanese. "
Speaking of this, Kong Jie also made a joke:
“I am really not being alarmist like everyone else. According to the gambler nature of the little devil, the area of the tiny island country is less than 1/2 the size of our northeast. Whether it is mineral resources or vast land, the island country is far behind.
Believe it or not, if we are really desperate, our Eighth Route Army has a tactic of changing the country, and the little devil may be so crazy that he will just change the country! "
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
Xu Guoan even looked horrified and said: "Lao Kong, do you mean that the Japanese might even abandon their homeland and forcibly occupy the Northeast?"
"It may not be impossible. Once gamblers get crazy, they won't play their cards according to common sense!"
Kong Jie solemnly said: "So, in the Northeast region, we must prepare and plan in advance, and we must not give the little devil any chance.
The Japanese army has always had a tradition of subjugating superiors. After supporting the puppet Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army became increasingly ambitious. They may not even be willing to listen to the emperor.
Even if all the little devils in this pass are defeated, I estimate that the Kwantung Army will still carry it to death. "
Xu Guoan nodded. Old Xu also had his own opinion:
“The Anti-Japanese War has been going on for so many years, and now even the Nationalist Government has declared war on Japan. Judging from the situation, our hope of winning this war has become stronger and stronger.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a matter of time before the little devil is defeated and surrenders.
And once the Japanese surrender, as we have discussed before, the biggest achievement of the Japanese army for so many years is the heavy industrial base, economic construction, and massive material reserves in the three northeastern provinces!
We cannot let others take away the final fruits of victory, and we must beware of the little devils plundering a large amount of materials and wealth from our land after defeat.
Lao Xu, you are right, we need to prepare in advance! "
Kong Jie smiled.
“I am telling you this just to give you some precautions in advance.
For now, let’s talk about how to use the cover of this collective military wedding to follow the instructions from our superiors to attack Licheng again and completely break the Japanese army’s overall combat plan..."
The meeting officially got down to business, and the cadres began to discuss each other word by word.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that the meeting officially ended, and each regiment commander quickly and secretly left the detachment headquarters with combat missions.
The entire conference room became empty again, with only Kong Jie, Li Wenjie, Xu Guoan, and deputy team leader Zhong remaining.
It was still early, Kong Jie looked at the sky in the distance, and suddenly said with a smile:
"People feel so refreshed during happy events. I slept for less than four hours last night, but I'm still very energetic today!"
Lao Zhongle said: "Is it okay if it's not perfect? Won't the bride be disappointed at night?"
"Fuck you!" Kong Jie laughed and cursed...
Some people died, but not completely...
