The father of the sword is Kong Jie

... Hosted by the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters, a special military meeting was held after the autumn offensive. Participants included generals from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, Shanxi-Suiyuan base area, Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan base area, and Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia and Shandong base areas.

Basically, they were military cadres and political cadres who participated in commanding the autumn offensive.

Even the commanders from various base areas and military regions came.

The space in the conference room was limited, so at the suggestion of the deputy chief of staff, the location of the meeting was changed to the spacious courtyard outside the general headquarters. The generals moved benches and formed several circles to hold the meeting.

The old leaders naturally sit at the core.

It stands to reason that commanders from major base areas, including commanders from military divisions of various military regions, were present one after another, and there were many high-profile personnel participating in the meeting.

Division, brigade commanders, etc., if there are not enough seats, they have to sit aside at all costs.

Not to mention Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei.

However, at the special request of the boss, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei were additionally placed in the third row of the meeting, but the other generals didn't say anything about it.

If we were to judge rewards based on merit, starting from the commanders at the grassroots level, Kong Jie and the other two would be among the top three.

It is reasonable for people to sit forward.

After the meeting began, the boss took the lead in making an opening statement. The boss's style has always been straightforward and unobtrusive. He made the core point clear in one sentence:
"First of all, let's talk about the problems and lack of preparation encountered by our base areas and various troops after the launch of this autumn offensive. Learn from the experience of the war. This will always be the magic weapon for the growth and victory of our Eighth Route Army troops! "

After the topic was brought up, generals at all levels spoke up and expressed their opinions.

After the autumn offensive was launched, Brigadier Wang, who was responsible for the siege of Taiyuan and led his troops to besiege Taiyuan for more than a month, took the lead in saying:
"Boss, the conditions of our army are getting better and better now, and the logistics support is in place. After this battle begins, our soldiers are basically not hungry. They even eat polished rice, and we can still eat every now and then. Meat!"

A general smiled and said, "Old Wang, isn't this a good thing?"

Brigadier Wang said: "It was indeed a good thing. This time our brigade was responsible for attacking Taiyuan, and the troops from all parties provided a lot of support, and even sent us the best refined grains and a large amount of meat.

This is much better than the hard days when we could only drink gruel and eat wild vegetables.

That's exactly where the problem lies.

The troops were eating well, but there was a serious lack of fresh vegetables, which resulted in a lot of constipation. The limited canned fruits could only be sent to front-line combat troops.

Lao Kong and others mentioned in the Barefoot Doctor's Manual compiled by a large number of doctors that nutrition must be balanced, and both coarse grains and fine grains are indispensable elements to ensure human nutrition.

This time we ate less whole grains.

The health of the second-line troops who did not receive vegetable supplies was very poor.

Transportation in this mountainous area is not smooth, the weather is bad, and fresh vegetables are very easy to rot. With so many troops gathered together, there are too few canned fruits and vegetables in stock, and there is simply insufficient supply for large-scale operations.

We have never thought that our troops, who are almost accustomed to eating coarse grains and wild vegetables, suddenly switch to refined grains and eat meat, and actually have eating problems.

This problem is more serious than we expected.

Later, when a military meeting was held, I happened to have a stomach problem. The meeting was held almost in the toilet, and a bunch of commanders had stomach problems.

The soldiers also began to suffer from various physical conditions. Fortunately, the little Japs in Taiyuan City kept the door tightly closed, preventing the Japs from seizing the opportunity.

In the end, a meeting of heroes was held, and some soldiers came out to sprout bean sprouts to eat on the battlefield, which solved the problem. "

After hearing this, the generals were also filled with emotion.

Some envious people said: "Some time ago, we didn't even have enough coarse grains to eat in our base area. We had to dig wild vegetables and dig tree roots in the mountains. Lao Wang, you guys have such good food conditions. You can even eat fine grains and get diarrhea. This is really infuriating. "

Some also laughed and joked: "I'm used to living in poverty, but I won't be able to live in wealth all of a sudden!"

The old brigade commander concluded: “Canned vegetables, canned fruits, stomach and digestive tablets, hawthorn tablets, crude and essence combined, these things are usually inconspicuous, but they are very important.

In terms of logistics, these issues should indeed be taken into consideration. In addition, the cooking classes of each company should also set a standard to ensure that the soldiers have a balanced nutrition. They usually eat a mixture of coarse grains and fine grains. They cannot only eat coarse grains when they are poor. Today's conditions in the army Well, I only eat fine grains again.

Both of these can cause problems. "

The generals who participated in the meeting nodded and made notes in their notebooks. They will pay attention to this matter when they return to the army.

Then, the generals in the Taihang base area raised a question that stunned the cadres in other base areas:

“After there were more troop transport vehicles, there was a huge traffic jam in the rear area, and the traffic was chaotic.

We seized a large number of Japanese military trucks, received some trucks aided by the United States, and also purchased some trucks from the Chiang Kai-shek Army.

Some of these vehicles have right-hand drive and some have left-hand drive, resulting in some trucks driving on the right and some on the left. Accidents often occur on narrow roads, which is extremely unsafe.

In the past, when the army only had a few trucks, it didn't matter if they drove sideways. But now there are so many more trucks. They need to be rectified in a unified manner, otherwise efficiency will not be improved and safety risks will still exist. "

In this regard, Kong Jie said: "The existing traffic conditions in the base area are too poor, and the traffic problem really needs to be improved. It is no better than before. Our base area must adhere to the principle of stable development.

Even for a long time to come, the base area will be a fixed place where our troops rely on for development and survival.

Taking advantage of this winter, we can mobilize the masses to build roads for a fee, which can stimulate economic growth and pay wages to the people.

Asphalt roads cannot be built in winter, so we need to build the foundation first, and when the weather conditions are suitable in spring, we will build all the main asphalt roads. "

Then some generals pointed out that there was an imbalance in the development of the Eighth Route Army's base areas.

Originally this was nothing.

In the difficult combat environment behind enemy lines, due to the enemy's military blockade, the various base areas of the Eighth Route Army lacked exchanges and communication in the past few years, so each other's development was naturally strong and weak.

Some troops fought against Japanese invaders and ate meat, and their equipment had been changed several times. Other troops had been suffering from a military blockade by the Japanese army and had a very difficult life and lacked guns and ammunition.

This was not a big problem at first, until the autumn offensive began. The Eighth Route Army mobile troops, led by Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Ding Wei, coordinated with troops from other base areas during long-distance interspersed operations. Only then did the shortcomings become apparent.

The less developed troops simply could not adapt to the new combat model developed by Kong Jie and others.

Various infantry and artillery coordination, infantry and tank coordination, and even ground-air coordination.

The Eighth Route Army troops who had not had much contact could not keep up with the pace.

It almost turned out to be a disservice several times.

The autumn offensive launched this time is not bad. During the strategic counteroffensive in the future, if a comprehensive joint operation is carried out, these weak links will easily become flaws in the Japanese army's breakthrough.

The final solution was proposed by the Deputy Chief of Staff:

“After this autumn offensive, the area occupied by the Japanese army in North China has been further reduced, our army’s base areas have been further consolidated, and our troops have further developed.

We need to further establish connections between various base areas.

Use the strong to lead the weak to promote the balanced development of each base area.

In addition, the development of our military industry must also consider expanding to various base areas. At least ensure that these major anti-Japanese base areas have their own independent military industry to ensure that the supply of equipment and ammunition can still be guaranteed under the enemy's military blockade. "

Having said this, the deputy chief of staff looked directly at Kong Jie: "Kong Jie, you should assist the logistics department in this regard!"

"Yes!" Kong Jie responded.The meeting then talked about intelligence work and security work in each base area.

The deputy chief of staff said: “Intelligence work has always been the top priority of our army, especially after each battle. Due to the contact between the two armies, there are many people with mixed eyes, and it is difficult to ensure that our army’s intelligence system is not penetrated by the enemy.

After the base area has developed steadily this time and the troops have begun to reorganize, internal inspection and security work must be further strengthened. "

“In addition to internal investigation and protection, we need to further disseminate confusing intelligence to paralyze the Japanese army.

The strategic camouflage department of a team is an excellent example in this regard. Kong Jie, you should communicate more and cooperate with the headquarters intelligence department in this regard. "

"Yes!" Kong Jie responded again.

The theme of the meeting also talked about the issue of ensuring economic development in each base area while developing military affairs.

The deputy chief of staff in charge of this matter simply shouted without saying a word:
"Kong Jie, please tell your comrades how you grew the independent regiment step by step and gradually developed the base area to its current situation.

It can also serve as a reference for the economic development of various base areas. "

"Yes!"

Kong Jie responded for the third time, took out the draft document he had prepared long ago, and introduced the team's development experience in various aspects over the years.

He finally concluded: “To say that the development of our base areas behind enemy lines must be strengthened under the eyes of the enemy, it is difficult to say it is difficult, and it is simple to say it is simple. To sum up, it is nothing more than these points.

First, the economic development of the base area must first ensure the stability of the base area, and the most fundamental thing for the stability of the base area is military strength.

Why were the Japanese able to firmly occupy the counties, towns, and towns that belong to China in the past few years, maintain public order in various places, ensure economic development, and support the troops?
It is precisely because of the strength of the Japanese army that they can ensure that the occupied areas are not interfered by external military factors.

In the same way, if the economic development of our base area is to be completely stable and strong, it is absolutely indispensable to have a military foundation as a backing. "

“Second, for economic development we must first have people, and if we want to ensure the population, we must ensure the most basic food problem.

Therefore, solving the food problem in the base area is the second biggest difficulty.

This relies on robbing the little devils, relying on seizures, and relying on foreign trade. After all, it is not fundamental.

We must find ways to increase our food production.

No matter what year, if there is food in hand, people will not panic.

Only when the grain reserves in our base are completely increased can the economy have the foundation and foundation to operate.

Therefore, the development of our base areas is still inseparable from agriculture as the foundation. High-yielding potatoes, rice, and wheat must be sown in time to increase the grain storage capacity of the base areas.

We will fully exploit the demographic dividend that has been pouring into our base area in recent years. "

"With the first two steps, we can initially try to establish a financial system in the base area, try foreign trade, and further expand the accumulation of resources..."

clap clap clap-

As Kong Jie finished his words, the entire conference room burst into thunderous applause.

Especially the military cadres here, most of them only know how to lead troops to fight. When it comes to all aspects of economic development, ten of them tied together may not be as good as one Kong Jie.

Even Li Yunlong couldn't help but whisper in Ding Wei's ear:

"Damn it, we agreed to play together, is this old Kong secretly studying again? Every time I thought I was one step closer to him, who would have thought, this kid would be even closer? Far!"

Ding Weile said: "Old Li, what are you talking about?

To be honest, when our Iron Triangle was first established, I heard that some old comrades had nothing to do, and they even rated the three of us one, two or three.

Some say that I, Ding Wei, should be the leader of the Iron Triangle, while others say that Lao Kong is the leader of the Iron Triangle, but more people think that Lao Kong is the number one.

I was quite unconvinced at the time. I thought how could his old Kong Hede compare to our old Ding?

Just because this kid is stubborn, he can be more arrogant than anyone else when he is stunned? "

Li Yunlong interjected: "Old Ding, let me interrupt, then there are no old comrades who say that we, Old Li, are number one?"

"you?"

"Ok!"

"Never heard of it!" Ding Wei said with a serious face.

Li Yunlong: "..."

Ding Wei continued: "But later on, I gradually lost the intention to compare. Why? There is really no comparison, let alone others. Even when I asked myself countless times in my heart, I couldn't compare. If you don’t admit it, Lao Kong should be the number one.”

"Lao Li, just tell me whether you are convinced or not?"

Li Yunlong said: "I accept it, why don't you accept it?
Lao Ding, if we two brothers were originally dissatisfied with Lao Kong, it was only about military command and leading troops to fight.

But this idiot Kong Er doesn't follow the rules. He has to learn how to do everything.

He does intelligence work, economic development, cultural studies, and compilation of various books. I really don’t know where this old Kong got all this knowledge in his head.

Even when asking for a wife, Lao Kong rushed to the front of us.

My wife, who is as beautiful as a flower, is kept warm in bed every day.

Lao Ding, what do you think our brothers are dissatisfied with? "

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Lao Li, if you say this, I really have nothing to say, I am convinced, I am completely convinced!"

"Old Ding, don't talk around. I accept Lao Kong as number one, but why do you want to be number one? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you can't even worry about number two!"

Ding Wei: "..."

...The topic of the meeting was about cultural training for cadres.

The deputy chief of staff habitually called Kong Jie.

"Comrade Kong Jie can be said to be an example for our cadres to learn from. Let him share his experience with everyone!"

This happened again and again, even the teacher and the principal couldn't stand it anymore.

He couldn't help coughing twice and said with a smile, "I'm talking about Lao Zuo. Comrade Kong Jie is a military cadre. He is currently the captain of a team and is responsible for the anti-Japanese combat mission. This can't be learned from intelligence, economics, and culture." You rely on Kong Jie for everything, right?
Even if Kong Jie is a generalist, he can't use it like this! "

When the generals heard this, they suppressed their laughter.

The deputy chief of staff said: "Commander, there is nothing we can do about it. It is said that those who are capable work hard. Who makes Kong Jie the elite in these fields? Let me tell you, just don't let him lead troops on the front line, and just go to the rear to help Let me help, whether it is intelligence work, political work, or economic construction, I think this kid can do better!"

Hahaha--

The generals who could no longer hold back burst into laughter...
