The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 162 Kong Jie's Teachings

Independence regiment station.

regiment.

Although the soldiers in the company were comforted, the instructor Li Wenjie personally went to the regiment headquarters to plead guilty.

Li Wenjie told Kong Jie in detail about his failure in command when attacking the middle stronghold of Xiaotong Road, the accidents that happened in the middle, and the conflicts between the soldiers of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army who subsequently surrendered.

Kong Jie listened carefully.

"Regimental Commander, that's the specific situation. This military operation is generally smooth. The main force took the stronghold in time, and the devil's reinforcements didn't even have time to support them.

But we suffered undeserved casualties, 20 soldiers were sacrificed, and more than [-] people were injured. My fault is very big, please punish me! "

Kong Jie was silent for a moment, Jiulian's sacrifice this time was indeed heartbreaking.

Although the ninth company commander had reported the situation to him before, he still couldn't help being sad when he heard it again.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, even if he shoots Li Wenjie, what's the use?
Besides, the Ninth Company Commander also highlighted the outstanding performance of the instructor Li Wenjie during the battle.

In the end, he said that the fault was all on him, the company commander, and had nothing to do with the instructor Li Wenjie.

These two people are interesting, as if they have discussed it, they both blame themselves, and the relationship between each other seems to have eased a lot.

After calming down, Kong Jie said: "Wenjie, you are right in saying that a merit is a merit, and a fault is a fault. I must punish you for your fault."

"I'll talk about the punishment later. Let me ask you first, how would you prepare for this operation again?"

Li Wenjie replied: "First, before taking action, I will do a good job in ideological mobilization and explain all possible situations that may arise during the battle. At least the soldiers will not retreat independently during the attack."

"Second, all firearms and equipment should be checked carefully before the battle, especially important artillery fire such as grenades. If I had checked before the battle, I would not find that the grenade was broken at a critical time, causing the smoke grenades to be damaged. The support was a little late."

"Thirdly, I will carefully consider the candidates who pretend to be ordinary people and enter the stronghold. This is a very important part, and there must be no mistakes."

"Fourth, in fact, the intelligence reconnaissance before the battle started should be done more fully. The devils hid machine guns and grenades in the stronghold. We should have taken these into consideration."

Kong Jie nodded in agreement, "Yeah, what you said is very good, what you said is good, but what I want to tell you is that if our other cadres come here, if they talk about it again after the incident, they will be able to say the same thing." Well, being an afterthought is not something to be proud of."

"Actually, you and the Ninth Company Commander didn't have major omissions in command. The flaws mainly appeared in the specific execution link. Didn't you realize that this is the gap between theoretical command and execution?"

"Yes!" Li Wenjie replied.

"Then do you know what it's called if executive ability and theoretical command can't be combined?"

"That's called talking on paper. You are a scholar. You know who Zhao Kuo is better than me. Do you want to be the second Zhao Kuo?"

"But, leader, I'm confused now. What exactly is executive power? What do I need to do?"

Kong Jie thought for a while and explained: "Execution ability is the ability to execute. It is easy to explain it simply. It means that you give orders, and the soldiers execute your orders, and they can perfectly complete your orders according to the situation you imagined in your mind. The command."

"And how to make the soldiers listen to you, not only because of the order at the level, but also from the heart, this is what you have to do as an instructor!"

"Leader, please clarify!"

"It's very simple. Execution needs to be mobilized. There are also two instructors. The first instructor is respected by the soldiers and is familiar with him. We can get along with each other on weekdays. What is the instructor thinking? What are the soldiers thinking? , are very clear to each other."

As for the other instructor, he was very unfamiliar with the soldiers below, and the soldiers only obeyed his orders because of their rank.

Which unit do you think will have the stronger execution ability after the two instructors also give combat orders? "

"Of course the first instructor." Li Wenjie said without hesitation.

"Then do you understand?"

"Commander, I know, show your heart to heart, how you treat the soldiers on weekdays, the soldiers will repay you.

But I have really done it, I have done a lot, I have explained a lot of principles to the soldiers, and I have also taught them literacy and culture, but for some reason, I always feel that there is still a gap between the soldiers and me.

The composition of the Ninth Company's team is very complicated. There are veterans, recruits, and the national army who have surrendered. Now some puppet troops who have been captured are also added.

Captain, I'm really a little confused now, and even a little doubtful, whether I can be a good instructor.

It seems that your choice is right. I can't even be an instructor, so why mention a political commissar? "

Kong Jie shook his head and said, "Well, I'll take you to a place and show you something along the way."

With that said, Kong Jie greeted the monk, took Li Wenjie away from the regiment headquarters, and went straight to the first company station.

Li Wenjie was a little puzzled, but Kong Jie didn't mean to explain, and he didn't ask too many questions, so he followed along.

Kong Jie seemed to be controlling the time and did it on purpose. When the three of them arrived at the place, the soldiers of the company had just started eating.

In order not to disturb the soldiers of the first company, Kong Jie did not go over, but took Li Wenjie and the two of them to watch from a distance.

The cooking team lined up very long, and the soldiers in the cooking class took out three or four wooden barrels, and the team lined up in three long queues.

Kong Jie pointed to a person at the end of the line and said, "Look at that comrade, is there anything special?"

The monk and Li Wenjie looked over together. The middle-aged soldier was at the end of the line, wearing an old military uniform with many patches.

Not long ago, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had brought back [-] sets of military uniforms successively from the clothing factory.

Many soldiers in the regiment have changed into new military uniforms, and it is rare to see such worn-out old military uniforms.

But it's not too surprising. Many soldiers are more frugal. Even if they are issued new military uniforms, they are reluctant to wear them. They still wear the old military uniforms. When they show their buttocks, they will be reimbursed.

What puzzled the monk and Li Wenjie was that the middle-aged comrade had five bowls in his hand.

Many soldiers seemed to want him to go to the front, but this middle-aged comrade refused.

Then, the middle-aged soldier who finally took the turn, filled five or six bowls with rice, filled them with an empty wooden barrel, and gradually walked away with the wooden barrel.

Seeing Li Wenjie's puzzled expression, Kong Jie said: "The soldiers of the first company are eating. If you are curious, go ask yourself! Just ask about the middle-aged comrade, I think you will gain something."

"Yes!"

Li Wenjie responded, and walked towards a few soldiers who were squatting to eat, "Comrade, hello, I am Li Wenjie, the instructor of the Ninth Company. I am new to our regiment, so I am not very familiar with it. May I ask you some questions?" Question?"

"Hello instructor!"

The soldiers who were grilling rice hurriedly got up and shouted.

Li Wenjie said with a smile: "Everyone, you are welcome, you continue to eat your food, let's chat casually."

"By the way, who is that comrade carrying the barrel?"

Several soldiers who were grilling rice laughed warmly when they heard Li Wenjie's question, "Oh, that's our instructor."

Several soldiers used the word "we" very fluently, and when they mentioned the instructors of the company, everyone's words were full of admiration.

Li Wenjie said in surprise: "So he is Instructor Jiang."

Li Wenjie, the instructor of the first company, has heard that he is a well-known old instructor in the regiment. He has done a good job in political work. His name is Jiang Song, but he has never met anyone.

Only now did Li Wenjie realize that the group leader had pointed out Instructor Jiang to him on purpose.

But what is the intention of the leader?Could it be that I let myself come and see how Instructor Jiang guides the soldiers and how he gets along well with them?
Then I really should take a look at the shortcomings of my instructor compared with other instructor Jiang.

Thinking of this, Li Wenjie asked again: "Strange, I saw that instructor Jiang took five or six bowls and carried them in a wooden bucket. What is he doing?"

"Oh, didn't our regiment just fight a war not long ago? Some soldiers got injured in their legs and haven't healed yet. They are recuperating in Tongpu for the time being. The instructor helped them get meals. This is to deliver them there."

"Didn't you arrange for other soldiers to deliver meals?" Li Wenjie asked.

A soldier smiled and said: "Instructor Li, you don't know, this is an old tradition of our instructors. As long as there are not many injured soldiers and they are busy enough, our instructors will do it by themselves."

"It's like the situation where our instructor delivers meals. When the wounded are healed, it will be considered as the end."

"Yes, the instructor said, everyone is hungry! No one is happy to ask someone to deliver food at this time, so he went by himself."

"Because of this, our instructors are basically the last ones to eat in the whole company every time."

"The food was almost cold when we ate it. The instructor still has a bad stomach because of this. We have persuaded him many times, but he just doesn't listen."

"Hey, besides, our instructors still have a tradition. They like to help the recruits cook. The instructor said that the recruits are not familiar with the environment and don't know how much food to eat. He has to help lead the way, so the recruits of our company, the instructor They all helped to make meals."

"Isn't that right? When I first came here, the instructor helped me find the bowls and chopsticks. I was a little embarrassed to serve the hot food to you, but the instructor said: Slow down. Eat slowly, don't choke, I will cook for you tomorrow, listen..."

"Yeah, I have always had the habit of kicking the quilt. Once someone tucked me in the corner of the quilt in the middle of the night. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw that it was our instructor."

"Which comrade is sick, the instructor is always the first to appear in front of him. Everyone laughed and said, our instructor is omnipotent, as long as you need him, he will appear at the first time."

"The instructor is very friendly and can give you a feeling of family. In front of the instructor, you really don't have to hide anything. Just say what is in your heart. When you are happy, the instructor is happy with you. You If you are unhappy, the instructor will come to coax you and comfort you."

"The instructor's memory is not bad! We have more than 100 fighters in the company, and he can remember everyone's name, including age, personality, and things he has experienced."

"By the way, I remember that our instructor still has a notebook. I remember that it is the performance of our company's soldiers killing the enemy on the battlefield! Once the instructor showed it to me. Guess how it remembers it? Hehe, it says , Zhang Erya, who joined the army for one year and two months, wiped out two devils and one puppet soldier. He was brave in battle and stable in mental quality. He is a top soldier! Our instructor praised me!"

"What are you? Tell you, when our instructor wrote about me, he praised me a lot!"

"Me too!"

"Our instructor is still good at fighting! Every time there is a combat mission in the company, we discuss everything with the instructor!"

"That's for sure. Our company commander admires the instructor's ability."

"On the battlefield, the instructor runs so fast when charging!"

……

……

The soldiers talked in a hurry, and seemed to have forgotten to eat the food in the bowl. After talking for a while, a squad leader remembered Li Wenjie who was on the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, talk so much!" What are you doing? Instructor Li is still here! You guys are too rude, why did you forget about Instructor Li?"

"It's okay!" Li Wenjie smiled, and asked again: "I want to know, what do you all think of your instructor Jiang?"

"Does it need to be said? Our instructor is the best instructor in the whole group."

"Ahem, can you talk, kid? Instructor Li is still here!" The squad leader scolded, but judging from the squad leader's expression, he clearly agreed with the soldier's point of view.

"We instructors, that's really nothing to say, don't say too much, as long as we are in a company, there is no fighter who doesn't admire and like our instructors from the bottom of their hearts."

"That's it!" The soldiers responded in haste.

... When Li Wenjie left, the soldiers in the company seemed to have more than enough to say about their instructors, and they gathered in a circle, eating, and continuing to talk about their instructors.

Li Wenjie walked back step by step, looking a little dazed.

As a young man, I was a little unconvinced in my heart.

Li Wenjie was still trying to imagine that he had done a lot in Jiulian these days, so he didn't believe how much he could be worse than Instructor Jiang.

The result came out, served!

If what he did for the soldiers of the Ninth Company was a small thumbnail, then what Instructor Jiang did for the soldiers of the First Company was as big as a human head.

There is no comparison at all.

From a distance, Kong Jie saw Li Wenjie's absent-mindedness. When Li Wenjie came over, Kong Jie asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you have an answer in your heart?"

Li Wenjie nodded, "Yes, leader, I am too self-righteous, I know where I am wrong."

"Then go back!" Kong Jie said.

Monk: "..."

I have no idea what these two are playing.

"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded, and was about to leave when he reminded: "Head, you haven't punished me yet!"

Kong Jie said: "It's easy to say, do a good job as your instructor. If you don't do well for a day, I will not allow you to leave Jiulian for a day. This is your punishment."

Li Wenjie was a little startled, saluted, and said solemnly: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your instruction!"

After speaking, Li Wenjie strode towards the Jiulian garrison with firm and powerful steps.
