…
the other side.
The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
As early as when the headquarters decided to hold a collective military wedding for five couples, including Kong Jie and Commander Wang, on the 25th.
As for the plan to attack Licheng by surprise under the cover of collective military weddings and base area celebrations, the advance deployment is basically complete.
Kong Jie's analysis of the current war situation can be said to coincide with the views of the deputy chief of staff.
The two agreed quite unanimously that this winter campaign began with the defense of Huangyadong, the surprise attack on Datong, the siege of Licheng, the roundabout attack on northern Henan, and the central Luxi area.
The Eighth Route Army finally won a complete victory.
This greatly dampened the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and promoted the combat enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese armed forces.
However, this is not enough.
In order to maximize the military effect and political impact of defeating the Japanese army, the best way is to continue with a new round of offensive shortly after the victory of this battle to push the anti-Japanese war to its peak.
In order to show to the military and civilians across the country and even to countries around the world, the Eighth Route Army played the mainstay role in this Anti-Japanese War.
"Hit Licheng again!"
This is the unanimous conclusion reached by commanders at all levels at the General Headquarters.
In the subsequent military discussion, the commanders each expressed their opinions.
Analyzes the various reactions that the Japanese army may make after another raid on Licheng in the current situation, and how to deal with it.
Ding Wei pointed out:
“According to our intelligence investigation, including the combat experience brought to us by the last heavy attack on Licheng, once Licheng is attacked, the elite Japanese troops defending Xiangyuan, Lucheng, and Shexian will immediately provide reinforcements.
Among them, the Japanese troops in Xiangyuan and Lucheng are the strongest, and Shexian is the worst.
From the terrain point of view, the Japanese army in Xiangyuan needs reinforcements. The journey is relatively far and it will take a long time. We can use one force to use the terrain to hold back the reinforcements.
Setting up echelons along the way and blocking them layer by layer are just to delay the Japanese army's offensive pace. Even our local army troops may not be able to do it.
As for Lucheng, the distance is shorter. Once the Japanese army is reinforced, they can arrive quickly, especially those mechanized combat troops. "
Speaking of this, Ding Wei suddenly laughed:
"But what's interesting is that they are really enemies.
The Japanese army mobilized the main force to defend Lucheng half a year ago. Guess who it was? "
"who?"
Captain Wang asked.
"Ishikawa!" Ding Wei laughed.
When Captain Wang heard this answer, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he was almost overjoyed.
"Haha, grandma, last time the three major Japanese mixed brigades attacked our 385th brigade, I thought about dealing with this old Japanese soldier Ishikawa. It turned out that this old Japanese soldier was not very good at fighting, but he was really good at running.
Firearms, equipment, and supplies were thrown everywhere along the way, and all the wounded were thrown away. They stopped our pursuing troops on the roadside to delay them, and then they disappeared under our noses.
Unexpectedly, this old boy fell into our hands again! "
Ding Wei smiled and said: "I also heard that this old devil Ishikawa was completely discouraged by us.
He specifically applied to be transferred to the Lucheng area, hoping to hide far behind and completely avoid the reach of our Eighth Route Army.
This time we suddenly hit him again, and the old devil would most likely be dumbfounded.
We all know that Ishikawa is very cautious, even to the point of timidity.
It's probably not easy to dig a trap for this guy.
But if we use his caution to scare him, so that the old devil does not dare to act rashly and reinforce Li City, I think it will not be difficult. "
Captain Wang chuckled and said confidently:
"It's easy to say. I'm not bragging, but as long as the name of my 769th regiment is known, Ishikawa, an old devil, will probably hide in Shuzhou and be a coward.
He didn't even dare to come out casually even if he had three courages! "
Ding Wei said: "The reinforcements all the way from Lucheng will be solved.
As for the Japanese army in Shexian County, the terrain on the way from Shexian County is difficult. We can take advantage of the terrain to secretly deploy the main force to fight a battle of annihilation and directly eat the Japanese army coming from Shexian County.
In addition, Liao County in the north of Licheng also used the same strategy. We ate the reinforcements from Liao County to Licheng in one go, and even took the opportunity to capture Liao County.
As a result, we have basically stopped all the reinforcements around Licheng, and Licheng has completely become an isolated city. If the Japanese and puppet defenders do not want to be wiped out by us after the city is broken, they may choose to abandon the city and evacuate. Great sex.
Our purpose in fighting here is to use a powerful offensive to force the Japanese to retreat from Licheng, and take the opportunity to attack the Japanese reinforcements and destroy the Japanese blockade.
If the attack goes well, we can even capture Licheng, Liaoxian, Shexian, Lucheng and many other cities in one fell swoop, then this battle will be almost certain.
Even if this step cannot be achieved, at least the Japanese blockade can be completely destroyed from the central node and the initiative can be turned into a passive one.
We can attribute this battle around Licheng, Liaoxian, Lucheng, Shexian and other places to house-demolition tactics. "
The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded and asked with a smile: "How specifically?"
Ding Weidao: "The so-called house demolition tactic is to find the core of the entire house and demolish it in one fell swoop, such as the most important load-bearing beams.
As long as we can successfully dismantle the core load-bearing beams of this house, no matter how hard the devils try, it will never be possible to build a stable house. "
As he narrated, Ding Wei's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.
At the beginning of this meeting, Ding Wanwan was the first to speak out in the military analysis and performed very well. The tactics he proposed to demolish the house made many cadres nod frequently.
Then, everyone conducted in-depth analysis and comments on this house demolition tactic, and provided suggestions along the way to finally decide on this battle plan.
Li Yunlong now focuses on building a rapid reaction force directly under Taihang, and his goal is still in the direction of mobile combat.
"After our attack around Licheng begins, that area will soon turn into a pot of porridge again.
In addition, the little devil didn’t have enough shit in his stomach. This time the security forces in the defense area were changed, and most likely they were going to our base area and the Jizhong Military Region.
Basically all the Japs' attention is focused on these two areas.
We will wait for the battle between you two to reach its peak and take the opportunity to mobilize mobile combat troops to advance towards northern Shanxi.
The Japanese want to take our Jizhong, and I also want to destroy the Japanese base camp in Mongolia! "
"Old Kong, what are you planning?" Seeing that Kong Jie had not spoken, Ding Wei asked curiously.
The cadres' eyes immediately focused on Kong Jie.
This is not the honest-minded Kong Er that he used to be.
Starting from the winter counter-offensive launched by one team, the various tactics, including strategic plans, continuously proposed by Kong Jie were obvious to all the cadres.
As for the independent regiment to a team, it will lead to the economic development of the base areas and drive the rapid prosperity of each base area, not to mention these.
Until the surprise attack on Datong, and the mechanized combat troops crossing from north to south and penetrating Luxi Luzhong, the battle ended completely.
The Eighth Route Army has already reached a consensus:
"A dazzling new star of the war of resistance is rising rapidly!"
The Japanese army gradually began to pay attention and tried every means to eradicate a team and the level of the Japanese generals who eliminated Kong Jie was also increasing.
Kong Jie, the leader of the independent regiment who was little-known at first, was first blacklisted by the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka.
Immediately afterwards, as Yoshio Shinozuka stepped down, the baton of hatred gradually passed from the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka to the hands of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army's North China Expedition Force, Okamura Neiji.
Until now, even the commander-in-chief of the Japanese dispatched troops in China had heard from Okamura about the difficulty of Kong Jie, the captain of the Eighth Route Army's North Shanxi Anti-Japanese Independent Detachment.
As an opponent, the Japanese army paid due attention to Kong Jie.
All blockades around a team's base are made of the strongest concrete structures.
Some important bunker fortifications are even strictly sealed with reinforced concrete structures.
Notices offering rewards for Kong Jie in various counties have long been posted all over the streets.
The amount of the reward is even more exaggerated than that of the corresponding generals at the level of division commander and corps commander of the Central Army.
In enemy-occupied areas, there is often a saying:
Capture a hole alive and you will be rich forever!
What does it mean?
If you really have the ability to capture the Eighth Route Army general Kong Jie alive and give it to the Japanese, the reward alone will be enough to make you a rich man for the rest of your life.
Of course, you can just think about this kind of thing in your dreams.
"Kong Shatou" had a vicious reputation, which was completely different from the image of an honest man that Kong Jie had left among the Eighth Route Army generals in his early days.
Just as a reporter conducted an interview, he asked an Eighth Route Army general who was familiar with Kong Jie about Kong Jie’s character and style.
These old comrades-in-arms of Kong Jie will always say with emotion:
"Old Kong! He is a real person! There is no more reliable and loyal old comrade-in-arms than him. You can trust him with your back on the battlefield!
He really takes care of things and never bothers to shout! "
Some of Kong Jie’s former subordinates said this:
"The old regiment leader is brave and capable of fighting tough battles. His eyes will gleam when he sees a Japanese enemy!"
As for the Japanese and puppet troops, the evaluation is very different.
Japanese generals, including Ishikawa, commander of the Japanese Third Mixed Brigade, commented on Kong Jie like this:
"Kong Jie is extremely cunning, insidious and despicable. He often doesn't play his cards according to the routine. He is also audacious and good at using strange weapons. He is hard to guard against! It is probably far from possible to deal with this person just based on the tactics learned in the military academy!"
As for the puppet generals...
"You can't mess with him, you absolutely can't mess with him! Once you mess with Kong Shatou, your life will be more than your hair, and you will have to finish it sooner or later."
Similarly, Kong Jie has different opinions from various parties, which is very interesting to talk about.
Back to the present.
Under the direct gaze of all the cadres, the honest man Kong Jie spoke slowly.
He was the first to ask: "Comrades, since the September 18th Incident, the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in China are countless, and the blood feuds have been countless.
I, Kong Jie, don’t understand what’s the big deal.
But I still understand the principle that debts must be repaid with blood and blood debts must be repaid with blood.
So I just want to ask our comrades. "
Kong Jie raised two fingers.
“First, the Japanese army was defeated, and perhaps the main reason for the defeat was not necessarily because of our battlefield in China.
The Japanese retreated calmly and paid some compensation, but they left us with a devastated China and still plundered a lot of our resources.
The little devils bullied us, but we did not teach them a profound enough lesson.
Is this the backbone of us Chinese people?
Tolerance does not exist, at least we do not have the face to say forgiveness for those compatriots who died tragically in this war. "
As Kong Jie finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.
What was brewing in the eyes of the cadres was the fierce fire, and Li Yunlong was gnashing his teeth, looking like he might go berserk at any time.
"Second, the Japanese army was still defeated and we won the final great victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
But we had the absolute initiative. The little devils were defeated because of the all-out counterattack launched by our Eighth Route Army. They suffered heavy casualties. It can even be said that they were crying for their fathers and mothers, carrying bags of ashes, and were so frightened. I crawled back in a mess.
What we Chinese soldiers have left to the little devils is indelible fear.
What Central China has left to the Japanese pirates is a deterrent that they will never dare to invade again, even if it takes eternity.
From then on, no matter how many generations our descendants continue, when the Japanese see us Chinese, they will always lower their heads subconsciously, tremble in their hearts, and say:
The Chinese are absolutely not to be messed with.
Only when we have reached this point, comrades, do I think we have completely won this war of resistance against Japan. "
"so……"
Kong Jie suddenly asked with a smile: "Do you want to choose one or two?"
Kong Jie used the calmest words, but described a situation that made the cadres no longer able to calm down, and even quickly became excited.
These words also made everyone think deeply.
Yes, as the war continues, the Japanese army is obviously exhausted.
Coupled with multi-front operations, it is the Pacific battlefield, the Southeast Asian battlefield, and the Chinese battlefield.
The little devil is already at the end of his rope.
This protracted war of resistance against Japan will eventually end.
The Eighth Route Army cadres who participated in the meeting also believed that China would be the final victor.
But the question is how we will win in the end.
Friends come with wine, enemies come with shotguns.
Facing the Japanese invaders, if the Chinese soldiers relied on their own strength, they would be able to repel them in one fell swoop with a crushing attitude.
This will naturally enhance China's national prestige and show the integrity of the Chinese people.
It will also improve China's international status.
But if only with the help of other countries, the Japanese army would eventually be defeated.
I am afraid that these ambitious little devils may not be convinced even if they are defeated.
Countries around the world may not take China seriously either.
"Hit, beat the hell! These little sons of bitches really think that China is easy to bully, and can come and leave whenever they want?
I don’t care about others. Anyway, I put my words here. Even if the Japanese surrender, as long as they don’t completely leave China one day, I will still lead my troops to kill him!
Lao Kong said it well, blood debts must be paid with blood, and we must avenge our compatriots who died tragically.
If the Japanese kill one of us, we will kill both of them.
One day I will be able to recover all my debt plus interest! "
The loud voice rang out, breaking the silence in the conference room first.
Of course it is Li Yunlong...
