As for the deputy chief of staff and deputy commander, they did not speak. They were all waiting for Kong Jie's opinion!
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Why are you all staring at Taiyuan? Do you still remember the place where our Taihang Mountain Rapid Response Force first became famous?"
Ding Wei came up, holding the baton and said: "Everyone, look at this place, Datong. After more than a year of Japanese operation, a large number of enterprises have settled here. There are no mountain fortifications in the west or east of the city, and there is no continuous mobile force. We also divided our troops to support Taiyuan. If we don’t attack him, who will we attack?”
At this time, Kong Jie smiled and asked: "How do you fight?"
Captain Song blurted out: "Of course we are trying to find the enemy's weak points and attack them."
Li Yunlong said: "Is it possible that you attract people from the front and sap them from behind?"
Kong Jie said with a smile: "Yes or no, look at the map, our old rival Okabe has completely fallen behind in understanding us, so I won't be polite.
The first to attack is Taiyuan; then to attack Datong is blindfold; to attack Baoding and Zhangjiakou, hold down the arms; then to attack northern Henan, Western Lu, and southern Lu, hold down the feet; then to attack northern Lu, central Lu, and eastern Lu, hold down the waist; In the end, Jidong was the Japanese.
You said you've pinned down everything the Japanese can move, can he still resist? "
After saying that, Kong Jie greeted with a smile: "Comrades, Lao Li doesn't believe in evil, why don't we hold down all his parts and see if he can still move!"
When the generals heard this, they immediately took action. What was originally a good meeting turned into a hands-on meeting, and Li Yunlong was held down with all kinds of tricks.
Poor Li Yunlong was so stunned that he couldn't even struggle.
Captain Wang suddenly became enlightened after hearing Kong Jie's words.
"That's right! Our Eighth Route Army is basically based in mountainous areas and vast rural areas. We currently don't have the strength to fully confront the Japs, so why do we need big cities?
If we move all the companies, warehouses, and mines outside the big cities for him, wouldn’t that achieve the strategic goal?
Why take such a big risk to fight a large-scale offensive against the Japanese?
If the Japs guard the big cities, let them continue to do so. If we really capture the big cities, maybe not only the Japs will be unable to sleep, but some people in the country will also be unable to sleep.
It would be better to attack half of them, attract all the Japs, reap the benefits and leave. "
There are some things that Commander Wang did not say. Halfway through the battle, he could tell the Allies that the Eighth Route Army was not strong enough. If they received more assistance, they would be able to defeat them next time.
If such a small amount of assistance can achieve such great results, it is estimated that applying for assistance in the future will not be so easy.
After all, you already have that strength, who would be willing to help you?
Everyone continued to discuss the plan and thought it was a good idea.
After being punished, Li Yunlong became honest and scolded helplessly: "Old Kong, what kind of damaging tricks are you doing? I thought my methods were despicable enough, but you are more outrageous than me?"
The political commissar said: "Whether it's a plot or a conspiracy, it's a good strategy to defeat the little devil!
Kong Jie, I recently discovered that you are in close contact with the Division Intelligence Section and the Headquarters Intelligence Section to collect intelligence on Taiyuan. Can you tell me about the situation of the Japanese? Do you have any new plans? "
Kong Jie replied: "There is no big plan, only small actions that are not on the table. The devils in Taiyuan City are originally very well-defended, and we have never carried out large-scale damage to the city.
Now that the Japanese have changed their commander, they are carrying out some goodwill activities and canceling many martial law measures. I heard that Okabe is also running away from Taiyuan.
Lao Ding, Lao Xu and I thought that not doing a welcome ceremony would be disrespectful to the little devil.
It happened that the Japanese were preparing to clear and transport the gold bars, silver coins, antiques and other items collected over the past six months. We received a tip that this batch of materials was originally supposed to be transported in June, but Lao Zhang destroyed the Japanese airport by attacking Taiyuan City. Later, our air force came out for activities again, but the Japanese never dared to transport them.
Now that Okabe has come to Taiyuan, Yansong, in order to show his merit, specially added a batch of finances and shipped them to Peking with him.
It was on August 25th that we passed through the Chengbei Airport, escorted by 6 transport planes and 6 Zero fighter jets. We were thinking about how to trick the devils on the way and bring back the property with the plane, which was originally ours. ! "
Lao Xu said: "That's right, why should we give it to the little devils who take our things? Are they worthy of taking it?
Not only do we have to get back our own things, but we also have to send some gifts to the Japanese. Not only do we have to take away the transport planes, fighter jets, and even his special plane at the Chengbei Airport, but we also have to take away the power boilers and power plants of the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant. The steam turbines were blown up by him. "
Ding Weidao: "Yes, after the old devil Okabe took office, the arsenal in Taiyuan has been introducing equipment and working hard to increase production capacity.
We blew up the power boilers and steel-making furnaces of the Zheng Steel Plant. The Japs will not be able to recover in a short time. The steam turbines in the power plant are even more scarce. The Japs will be heartbroken to death.
These places are not heavily guarded. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will be struck by lightning.
In addition, I heard that the Japanese have also built a new Nakajima aircraft manufacturing plant in the city. It can not only produce Type 1 fighter jets, but also perform maintenance. It is not far from the outer city. This is the goal of our move. "
Kong Jie said: "By the way, Lao Li, how about letting you show off again this time? Write a letter of thanks to Okabe, and by the way, return the command knife of the commander of the Thirteenth Army in your collection, and say that you picked it up of."
Li Yunlong wondered: "Why should I write a thank you letter?
Although our old Li is different now, he is also a great scholar, but no matter what happens, it won't be my turn, right?
Besides, this command sword is my treasure. Why should I give it back even if the old brigade commander calls me to blackmail me? "
The old brigade commander raised his head: "What did you say?"
Li Yunlong came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, I said it wrong, I mean I didn't even borrow the old brigade commander's phone to give guidance on work! Hehe!"
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Don't worry, that old devil Okabe is probably not a stingy person.
He won't ask for your sword. Maybe he will have to prepare some gifts. If he goes to our army's position outside the high ground in the west of the city, your sword will be delivered intact.
Little devil, if he accepts your knife, what will happen if word spreads about it?
A dignified commander of the Thirteenth Army lost his command knife and was picked up by the Eighth Route Army and sent back. No matter how shameless a person is, he cannot afford to lose this face. "
Li Yunlong said: "Why do you need me to write a thank-you letter and send it to you?"
Kong Jie said happily: "Who in the entire Eighth Route Army doesn't know that you, Lao Li, like to do this kind of harming people the most?
This is to tell Okabe and Yansong that you, Li Yunlong, are eyeing Taiyuan City. Just outside Taiyuan City, you have to invite the visiting Japanese officers to drink, talk and laugh, and give advice on the country on our army's position! "
A group of people listened and laughed.
[Ding, you successfully hit Li Yunlong, and your charm value is increased by one. 】
Looking at the long-lost bonus points and his nearly perfect charm score, Kong Jie smiled even brighter.
Li Yunlong quit on the spot, "I said Lao Kong, what do you mean by this? Why do you mean I like to do such hurtful things?
This is called those who make big things happen by not sticking to trivial matters!
All heroes and heroes, watch out. If you don't want to steam buns to fight for your reputation, when the meeting is over, I will challenge Lao Kong to a duel, and everyone will be a witness! "
Davis was an honest man and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Li going to duel with his old brigade commander? Why is he going to duel with Kong again?"
Ding Wei smiled and explained: "You don't know this. Lao Li is a big-tailed wolf. He will bar his teeth at anyone he catches!"
"Damn it, Ding Big Nose, who are you talking about? I'll count you in the one-on-one challenge later, and then I'll replace you after I kill Lao Kong. We, Lao Li, are not vain at all!" Li Yunlong cursed .
Ding Wei, who was fearless, immediately replied: "Haha, Lao Li, if you say that, then I won't be afraid of bullying you!"
Looking at these living treasures, the deputy commander said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's continue to discuss and improve the plan. Now let's discuss how to carry out ground and air cooperation.
After discussing the matter, I will be the host tonight and treat everyone to a roasted whole lamb. "
Only then did Li Yunlong and Ding Wei give up.
Then everyone worked together to refine the autumn counterattack plan, discuss the details, and finally contact the top person in charge of the relevant base area by secret phone to prepare relevant matters.
Then the commander-in-chief asked, what assistance does the Yan'an headquarters need to provide?
The deputy commander said: "Everyone can just go to Luliang Mountain one after another to hold a mobilization meeting. When the Japanese are ready to prepare supplies in Liao County, we will go and fight them down, and then we can enter Taiyuan City."
In other words, the headquarters is waiting for good news!
In the end, the meeting decided to do something in Taiyuan to attract the attention of the Japanese. They would place propaganda bombs, fake planes, and fake bombs everywhere, causing a storm in the city.
Grab a flight to transport financial statements on August 25th.
On the Ghost Festival on the 26th, the west attacked the high ground west of the city. The east troops surrounded the 4th mixed brigade in Yangquan and attacked the high ground east of Taiyuan City. The troops in the Huangyadong area retreated from Licheng and defeated the Liao County defenders to the north. Jinzhong attacked to contain some Japanese troops; at the same time, Li Yunlong's remaining troops captured Heshun County to protect the flanks.
The teacher said: "This autumn offensive is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves to attack the Japanese garrison in North China. The operation is called Autumn Wind Operation, and the secret code for the launch is Dafeng, strong wind, strong wind."
After receiving the news of the attack on Taiyuan City, all participating troops immediately made preparations. Before participating in the operation, they all sent out the strong wind signal clearly, and then launched one after another according to the original plan. All commanding agencies changed their passwords, and all levels of command headquarters were not allowed to communicate with each other. Communications reveal any communications related to this operation.
If you need reinforcements or report special circumstances, use the backup communication code to contact you.
All the troops must cooperate closely this time, unite as one, and strike hard at the Japanese so that they will have nightmares when they hear our names.
During the operation, the numbers of each unit are not allowed to be disclosed. They all use code names to communicate. You must discuss your own communication methods and passwords in advance. Don't use the same one.
In addition, this operation is a joint operation of all base areas and troops in North China. Propaganda work must be done well, the March 8th Discipline must be implemented, and the bad apples must be dealt with quickly and strictly! We must carry out propaganda while fighting, and immediately hold public trials for the most heinous traitors and spies, so that the people can see immediate results.
Of course, before the public trial, we must check whether they are our comrades who have penetrated into the enemy's ranks. "
The Eighth Route Army's three policies towards the Japanese.
The first type is a unit that is full of crimes. They capture the main criminals who are captured and put them to trial for death. Typical examples are Captain Suzuki who specializes in massacres and those from the special gas unit.
The accomplices were sent to dig coal or plant trees on high loess slopes.
The second type of surrender on the battlefield, or those who surrender on the battlefield, can choose a place to build a prisoner-of-war camp, and then farm or do work in it, and the Eighth Route Army will be responsible for paying wages and carrying out transformation.
The third type of surrender before the war, or those who directly contact the Eighth Route Army and closely assist the Eighth Route Army in fighting, can stay in the base area to run farms or do some small business. In addition to not being allowed to go out at will, they can take turns to go to the market to participate in trade. The premise is that after approval, there are Certain autonomy.
If you are willing to join the Eighth Route Army, you can do so after passing the assessment.
The principle is very clear: resolutely attack and eliminate the traitors who are determined to do so, seek to exploit the wavering elements, and forgive and condone the masses who have no choice but to do so.
In this way, those traitors will not be allowed to act arrogantly, nor will they accidentally kill those people who still have conscience and patriotic feelings, causing unnecessary panic among the people.
In this way, the meeting quickly finalized various contents and plans.
This scene surprised some American and British pilots who participated in the meeting. They originally thought that such an open military meeting, with all kinds of discussions, might last for many days!
Who would have thought that all the details and combat plans could be finalized so quickly.
Or was it Charles, who was participating in such a meeting for the first time, who said to Davis: "They held such a large-scale military meeting and came out with the results so quickly?"
Davis smiled and said: "Yes, the Eighth Route Army seems to pay attention to democracy in military affairs, but their efficiency is not low, and they can often come up with combat plans quickly!
This is an amazing team! "
Charles added: "Soldiers have the duty to obey orders. Shouldn't they resolutely obey the orders of their superiors? Why do so many officers dare to argue with their superiors?"
Davis said: "This is a military intelligence seminar. Everyone speaks freely and solves problems one by one. Everyone has a different understanding of the target situation, and there must be differences. It is easy for everyone to solve them if they come up before the war. If problems arise on the battlefield, it will be very difficult. Big loss.
And let's think about it together. It's not as good as meditating hard on your own and not being able to come up with a solution for a long time, okay? If you have any good ideas, you can put them forward!
These Eighth Route Army officers are very open-minded and often accept the opinions of others with an open mind, as long as your opinions are useful. "
Charles said: "I haven't cooperated with their ground and air liaison here. When performing a mission, can I airdrop my liaison officer and contact the Eighth Route Army ground commander in the target area? This can also improve the efficiency of ground and air coordination?"
Shen Quan on the side immediately popped up and stretched out his hand very cheerfully: "Chief of Staff of the Ground and Air Liaison Center Shen Quan, Major Charles, the work you mentioned is exactly what I am responsible for, happy cooperation!"
