Standing on the shoulders of giants, Kong Jie's ideas on how to improve farmers' enthusiasm for production are forward-looking.
But there is a saying that goes well: Those who take half a step ahead are geniuses, and those who take one step ahead are madmen.
If Kong Jie did not consider the current situation, he could even implement the land reform method in advance.
But Kong Jie finally considered that on the one hand, the anti-Japanese environment was not particularly stable.
On the other hand, under the anti-Japanese revolutionary united front, the entire Chinese people and all classes were united to fight against the Japanese invaders. At this time, some policies could not be implemented.
That's why Kong Jie, after optimizing, came up with a current plan that only focuses on how to increase agricultural output.
When it comes to the issue of land distribution, Kong Jie said: "If we want to completely liberate the farmers' labor force and increase their enthusiasm for investing in agricultural production, our anti-Japanese propaganda is only an auxiliary, and we must consider the interests of the farmers themselves.
As the old saying goes, working for others will never be more positive and conscientious than working for yourself.
So on the one hand, we have to find ways to allocate some land to farmers, even their own land.
On the other hand, after farmers have worked hard and reaped the harvest, they should be the biggest beneficiaries.
For thousands of years in our Chinese nation, farmers have been almost the lowest level of exploited people. They work hard to cultivate the land, but in the end, how much of the crops and food harvested from the fields fall into their own hands?
Therefore, we must effectively protect the interests of our farmers in this regard.
We allocate land, and farmers can also reclaim wasteland themselves. In addition to part of the harvest being used for taxation, if our troops really need it, they can purchase it at a certain price.
As for the land owned by landlords, we can also negotiate to purchase it from them and then distribute it to farmers. "
Now, Kong Jie is also rich, so he has the confidence to say this.
In addition, the situation in the anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas behind enemy lines in North China has become increasingly stable.
At this time, it is particularly important to mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for production.
Finally, after discussion at the meeting, the boss and the deputy chief of staff agreed to Kong Jie’s plan to increase agricultural production.
At the same time, the special experimental area that Kong Jie is responsible for is still used as the experimental subject, and pilot experiments will be carried out first. If the effect is particularly obvious, it will be promoted to other areas.
In the ongoing meeting, Kong Jie then raised the question.
First, while the anti-Japanese revolutionary base areas are becoming more stable and agriculture, industry, and commerce are vigorously developing, we must further and rapidly expand the size of the army.
“In the past, because we were limited by resources and equipment, our soldiers couldn’t even have enough food in their stomachs, so we were forced to streamline our troops and streamline our administration to reduce the burden on the base areas.
But now the situation is different. Naturally, we should seize the opportunity to train our troops and strengthen our military strength.
After all, war cannot be separated from people. Under the current situation, military superiority is still a very important factor.
Including as the war continues, as the battlefield increases and the war expands in the future, troops will be needed to participate in the war in all aspects.
If we don't plan to expand our troops in advance, we will be in trouble if our troops are not enough and we are stretched thin at that time. "
Kong Jie's thoughts on this are very clear.
Including why the Soviet army has strong combat effectiveness, in addition to its superb tactical level and sophisticated equipment, one of its great advantages lies in its strong military strength.
Later, the Soviet Union quickly sent troops to the northeast and defeated the Kwantung Army. One of the reasons was that the Soviet army had an absolute advantage in strength.
“Second, each base area must take effective economic measures to ensure that once the war starts, we can quickly allocate resources and produce military equipment.
To ensure the advantages of our combat troops in terms of equipment and materials.
In addition, we must formulate targeted and efficient material dispatch measures to ensure that our combat troops can receive sufficient material support and logistical supplies during operations.
And adopt a priority system to further strengthen our military propaganda and ensure that a large amount of resources and productivity can be prioritized for military production.
Increase the production and supply of agricultural and industrial products to support the needs of the war effort.
third……"
"This is our old tradition. To further strengthen the training of the troops, although we can consider further increasing the size of the troops, we still have to ensure the quality of the troops and the military quality of the soldiers.
It cannot be said that the team has grown stronger. On the contrary, the breakdown of organizational discipline has led to a decline in combat effectiveness, which is not worth the gain.
Therefore, in addition to the military training of the troops, we must further strengthen the all-round learning and education of our commanders at all levels. "
In this meeting, Kong Jie was very different from his previous low-key performance. Kong Jie talked a lot and couldn't even care about logical and illogical issues. He talked about whatever came to mind and what came to mind.
In the end, Kong Jie even suggested: “In terms of combat issues of our troops, we must take into account various terrains and special combat situations in various severe environments.
It can’t be said that people in the Taihang generation were able to fight in mountain warfare. Now in the Northeast, once there is heavy snow in the sky and the ground is freezing, you won’t even be able to use a gun! "
As soon as these words came out, how could the deputy chief of staff not understand Kong Jie's intention.
After the meeting, the boss and deputy chief of staff specially asked Kong Jie to stay and held another small meeting for discussion. He smiled and said: "Kong Jie, you performed well in the meeting this time. You talked a lot. I It seems that your comprehensive preparation and development plan are sufficient.
Are you still thinking about sending troops to the northeast? "
Kong Jie nodded and said straight to the point: "There are only two old leaders here now, so I'll tell the truth!
Since the little devils began to invade China, the war has lasted for more than ten years since the September 18th Incident.
One thing I can say with certainty is that in the more than ten years since the Japanese invaded our country, the biggest achievements and gains these little devils have plundered are in the Northeast, in the puppet Manchukuo.
Including the large amount of resources seized by the Japs since their invasion of North, Central and South China, considering the convenience of transportation, the Japs also hoarded them in the Northeast area in advance.
When the Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident, they wanted to take the lead in engulfing the three northeastern provinces, and then use the resources in the northeast to move down the country, attack all the way south, and invade our entire China!
It can be seen that the development of the economy and military industry in the Northeast has been quite astonishing. The Japanese army also started from a strategic perspective and wanted to build the three northeastern provinces into the strategic rear area of the Japanese army.
From this perspective, if we want to completely defeat the Japanese army and completely drive the invaders out of China, we can only defeat the Kwantung Army and regain the Northeast. "
Having said this, Kong Jie no longer concealed his intentions.
"Old leader, it is only a matter of time before we send troops to the Northeast. As the elite of the Japanese army, the Kwantung Army's combat effectiveness is unquestionable. From this point of view, among the combat troops of our Eighth Route Army, it is the one who is most suitable to compete with the Japanese Kwantung Army. Our Iron Triangle Army.
So I apply, if the time comes, please let our Iron Triangle Army take the lead in heading to Northeast China! "
The deputy chief of staff did not immediately respond to Kong Jie's request. Instead he asked.
"I heard that in your experimental area, you have even begun to build special mobile units to deal with various harsh environmental conditions in the Northeast. Is this true?"
Kong Jie replied: "If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. It's just to be prepared. If the leader doesn't agree, I can only lead the troops to continue tossing in northwest Shanxi."
Hahaha--
"You guys have done this for the sake of it, the boss and I can't get the reputation of being a good person and not using it, right?
It's just that this matter is of great importance, and the boss and I have to report it to the central government in advance. "
"Thank you, old leader!" Kong Jie saluted.
"Don't thank us. Instead, the boss and I should thank you. With subordinates like you, Kong Jie, we don't know how much less we can worry about!"
Looking at Kong Jie's walking back, the deputy chief of staff who sent Kong Jie out of the headquarters compound was filled with emotion.
"Boss, what do you think?"
The deputy commander smiled and said: "According to the central government's wishes, who will be responsible for the war in Jehol and Jidong, and then who will be the general to march to the northeast? This is indeed an issue that needs careful consideration.
Originally, this matter was not easy to decide, and there were many candidates for suitable generals.
Now, Kong Jie has taken the initiative to volunteer. Considering that Kong Jie has developed the initial independent group into a team over the years, and then to the current experimental area, this ability is indeed quite outstanding.
The process of advancing to the northeast does indeed require such an aggressive general who dares to fight and invade to direct it.
Even with my eyes closed, I can already imagine the elite soldiers with Iron Triangle helmets making a splash in the Northeast again.
That goes without saying, we should give Kong Jie a chance, whether it will succeed or not is another matter! "
"Boss, you have spoken out everything that is on my mind!" the deputy chief of staff echoed with a smile.
…
"Move troops into Rehe and Jidong in advance, blockade the Shanhaiguan area, and prepare to advance to the northeast to fight against the Kwantung Army!!!"
Inside the Eighth Route Army Special Experimental Zone Headquarters.
When Kong Jie put forward his idea and said that he had reported it to his boss and deputy chief of staff, Li Yunlong was stunned, and then his eyes lit up with excitement on his face.
"Haha, Lao Kong, Lao Kong, you are so energetic!
Why do you think you are like the roundworm in our Lao Li's belly?
Our old Li was still having a headache, but the Japanese in North China have become cowards. This battle is really not interesting.
It's not fun at all to beat such a weakling. The Kwantung Army still has two brushes. It is worthy of being the elite of the little devils. Hehe, it happens that the elites are what we, Lao Li, like to fight the most.
If we can go to the Northeast, wouldn't it be possible to fight happily again? "
Ding Wei analyzed: "Lao Kong, Lao Li, judging from the situation, the Japanese army is getting worse and worse now. The fighting in China is getting worse day by day. There are more battles on several fronts. The Pacific battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield are still the same. The fight was in full swing.
The elite Northeastern Army stationed in the Northeast are also constantly moving to the Pacific for consumption. In addition, the Northeastern Army has to beware of the Soviet Army.
I think if things continue like this, if nothing happens, the Japanese will probably collapse completely in a few years.
At that time, compared to our Eighth Route Army, including Chiang Kai-shek's troops, I think it will be the Soviet army that can dispatch troops quickly and take the lead in killing the Kwantung Army and occupying the Northeast.
But as the old saying goes, we can't have our cake and eat it too.
If the Soviet army helps us repel the Kwantung Army and occupy the Northeast, it goes without saying that the large amount of military industry and military resources left behind in the Northeast will probably fall into their pockets. Big Brother will not come to work for us in vain. It also has a purpose.
Including these years, Big Brother said that he had the same political system as us and helped our Eighth Route Army, but most of the assistance was basically given to Chiang Kai-shek.
After all, whoever is the master of things in China will be judged by others.
Everything else is nonsense!
We just want to recover the Northeast with fewer casualties.
But the crux of the question is, will they leave Northeast China to our Eighth Route Army or to Chiang Kai-shek's army?
I think it's mostly the latter.
But relatively speaking, the combat effectiveness of this Chiang Kai-shek army is always inferior to that of the Japanese army, let alone the elite Kwantung Army of the Japanese.
But if we advance troops in advance and launch a military offensive, we will have to face the Kwantung Army head-on. Perhaps the best case scenario is that we can capture the Northeast before the Soviet army sends troops, which not only obtains resources, but also uses the Northeast as a strategic rear area. , liberating the whole country from north to south.
But this will inevitably involve fighting, and we may not be able to avoid the cost of military casualties.
How to choose between these is a question that needs to be considered! "
Kong Jie had never considered the problem Ding Wei mentioned.
In order to launch a war of aggression, the Japanese army prepared five strategic-level armies in advance, namely the Japanese First General Army, the Japanese Second General Army, the Kwantung Army, the Chinese Expeditionary Army and the Japanese Southern Army.
Since the July 7th Incident broke out, it is the Chinese dispatched troops that have been dealing with the Eighth Route Army and generals in Central China, North China, and South China within the customs.
For many years, the Chiang Kai-shek Army's troops were defeated steadily on the frontal battlefield by just a group army such as Japan's China Expeditionary Force. The Eighth Route Army's resistance war on the battlefield behind enemy lines was also extremely difficult.
If it were not for the rapid rise of the old independent regiment led by Kong Jie and the changes in the situation, even North China, which has the best anti-Japanese situation, would still be in a dire war environment.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, it was evident that the Japanese troops were well-equipped and powerful in combat effectiveness.
And this is just one of the five major strategic battle armies of the Japanese army.
As one of Japan's five major strategic battle group armies, the Chinese dispatched army may not be at the bottom, but in terms of overall strength, it may not even be in the middle.
But one thing is beyond doubt, and it is almost universally recognized by the entire Japanese army.
——The Japanese Kwantung Army is the strongest of Japan's five major strategic battle armies. It is known as the flower of the Imperial Army and is considered the absolute elite of the Japanese army.
