The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 402

After Shen Quan finished speaking, the other cadres felt the same way, and the first battalion commander Wang Leihu was filled with righteous indignation:

"Captain, when we were poorly equipped and ammunition was scarce, the little devils bullied us for not being able to equip us. Later, when we were better equipped, the devils bullied us for not being able to use artillery.

Right now we are all short of equipment, ammunition, and artillery, and the little devil flew the plane over again, bullying our air power is not enough.

How did this end up always fighting such an aggrieved battle in the hands of the devils? "

"We can seize the equipment, and we can produce some ammunition with copper dollars, but we have no other way but to destroy this devil's plane." Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said, "If we also have our own air force, How good would that be?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "You really dare to speak and think, the aviation power of our Eighth Route Army is still far from the threshold!"

"It's not realistic to build our own aviation force. Neither devils nor national army reactionaries will stand by and watch."

"The industrial strength and economic conditions of our army do not allow us to make such a fuss. Pursuing these things now is putting the cart before the horse, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"But having said that, although we can't build our own aviation force, we can still try to build our own anti-air force."

"For example, the method you reported to deal with the devil's planes this time is very practical. When the devil's bomber was flying at low altitude, it fired at the air with a net of machine gun fire and successfully killed three devil's planes."

"Think about it, it took us only a few minutes to shoot down three planes, but if we develop and produce these three planes ourselves, and then match them with suitable pilots, how much work will it take? Just look at them." Well, just for the loss of these three planes, the little devil is trembling with distress."

"Just using ordinary machine guns to shoot planes is too inefficient and not very targeted. I heard that the national army has imported a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns from abroad, which can shoot low-altitude aircraft within 800 meters and 500 meters. enemy airborne paratroopers within range."

"I will think of a way in this regard. Only if our independent regiment has a certain amount of anti-air force, the little devil's fighter jets will not dare to be so rampant."

"This point, in fact, I have already told everyone that your battalions should not only study tactics against the Japanese army, but also study tactics against air and Japanese tanks."

"These things are prepared, and they will come in handy sooner or later. The devils sent planes to fight this time. What if the devils send a large number of tanks in the next battle? How should we deal with it?"

"So each of your battalions, at least give me a company to specialize in anti-tank tactics and anti-air tactics. If the devil's planes and tanks come, we can't be beaten unilaterally, we must have the ability to fight back.

I'll find time to check it out. "

"Yes!" The battalion commanders responded in unison.

"In addition, we must pay close attention to the air defense construction of our independent regiment, and the major villages must not be left behind. Each village, within 500 meters, prepares at least two air-raid shelters, which must be enough to accommodate all the villagers in the village."

"Wen Jie, you and the other trainers are responsible for this, and implement it."

"Yes, the head of the group can rest assured that the mission will be completed." Li Wenjie replied.

Kong Jie said: "Continue to talk about the situation captured by our independent regiment this time!"

The cadres immediately pricked up their ears. Every time a battle is won, one is happy to count how many devils the team has killed, and the other is to count how many seizures they have made.

"Yes!" Li Wenjie replied, and said, "Regimental Commander, if we say that we are fighting an ambush this time, the Ishii Regiment was caught off guard.

But the military quality of these little devils is indeed not bad. Even if they retreated in a hurry, they took away a lot of equipment in time.

There are still some that can't be taken away, and they are simply blown up by the little devil.

Our seizures were not as impressive as we had imagined.

Take the artillery of the Ishii Regiment as an example. This time, the Ishii Regiment brought an entire artillery squadron, including mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and rapid-fire artillery, plus the artillery squadrons attached to each devil brigade. There are more than 20 doors in total.

But until the end of the battle, all we captured were two mountain cannons and three infantry cannons, plus two rapid-fire cannons.

As far as this is concerned, the only ones that were not damaged were an infantry cannon and a mountain cannon. As for the damaged cannons, whether they could be repaired or not was a problem. "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, everyone. This capture is not bad. The little devil is really easy to fight. Didn't we rush back to Dongyang?"

"On the surface, we have captured at least seven artillery pieces in this battle!"

"As for the damaged artillery, the repair shop will try its best to repair it. If the repair shop can't repair it, it will send the damaged artillery to the brigade headquarters."

"Anyway, it's useless to keep these cannons if the ammunition is insufficient."

"The brigade commander will repair it through our headquarters arsenal. If it can't be repaired, we can't help it."

The cadres nodded, and the matter of the artillery was finished.

“另外缴获步枪两千300多支、手枪220五支、轻机枪31挺、重机枪九挺、掷弹筒21具、各口径炮弹2000多发、手雷300多颗、各口径子弹共计9万多发……损坏卡车五辆、飞机残骸三架……”

Li Wenjie compared the manuscripts he had prepared a long time ago, finished the report in one breath, and finally added: "Commander, this is only the specific situation of our independent regiment's seizures, and does not include the batch sent to Commander Li and Commander Ding." equipment."

Kong Jie nodded, looked at Shen Quan again, and asked, "Shen Quan, how are the puppet prisoners doing?"

Shen Quan replied: "Reporting to the head, the more than 600 prisoners of the puppet army have all been arranged before entering the village."

"According to your rules and requirements, those who are willing to fight devils and abide by the discipline of our Eighth Route Army will be allowed to join our team after watching their performance."

"As for the discipline of our Eighth Route Army, I also made it clear to them that there is no military salary and the conditions are difficult. This discipline must be strictly observed."

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Then how many people are willing to stay?"

Shen Quan smiled and said: "Hey, Captain, after I finished the above words, I will add a few more words, besides telling those puppet soldiers that being a traitor is a shameful thing, and beating devils is a decent Chinese Beyond what people should do.

I also said that although our independent regiment does not have military pay, some of the money left over from food will be distributed to everyone as pocket money when the month is over.

In addition, although our Eighth Route Army as a whole has difficult conditions, our independent regiment is different. There is meat to eat every day. "

"Just this one sentence, the eyes of that group of people were all lit up at that time, it seems that the food of these two devils is not very good!"

"I was taken aback by the back, I was afraid that there would be people here who pretended to be fake, so I quickly added, those who are sincerely willing to fight devils stay, whoever stays in my independent group just to eat meat, get out as soon as possible. It dispelled the thoughts left by some people."

"However, the number of people who are willing to stay in the end is much more than I thought. There are nearly 1000 people."

Wang Leihu excitedly said: "Regiment commander, these puppet soldiers, regardless of their nature, are pretty good. As long as they are reformed, ideologically educated, and absorbed into our independent regiment, our independent regiment will have nearly [-] troops. .”

"In the future, when it comes to strong soldiers and strong horses, he is not the only one from the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army."

Kong Jie reminded: "I said at the last meeting that the equipment of our independent regiment is now ready, but I also want to remind all the cadres that no matter what the equipment is, we have to focus on it at all times. In terms of military training and ideological education for soldiers, this cannot be put before the horse.

The same is true in front of us, everyone can't blindly pursue the increase of troops.

This soldier lies in the essence, not in the number, no matter how many troops there are, if it is just a group of mobs, it is better not to have it!

Some time ago, the headquarters also put forward the idea of ​​streamlining troops and simplifying administration.

This is the most in line with the development path of our Eighth Route Army. We are on the battlefield behind the enemy lines. The conditions for fighting against Japan are difficult and the enemy's situation is complicated. It will additionally increase the economic burden of local farmers, which is undesirable. "

Wang Leihu said: "Commander, what do you mean, we don't want these thousand prisoners?"

Kong Jie said: "Of course I want it. Since these people chose to stay after what Shen Quan said, it can be seen that they still have a conscience in their hearts.

I know that as a Chinese, I should not be a traitor to the devil.

With the minimum conscience, and with education and reform, they will sooner or later become trustworthy comrades.

But before that, let them take two steps. The first step is to be responsible for all aspects of infrastructure in our regiment, such as coal mining, land reclamation, farming, etc.

After they are sure that they can endure the hardship, they are allowed to join the recruit battalion or recruit company for training.

After the training of the recruit company is over and the grades are up to standard, they are allowed to officially join our independent regiment.

In addition, in addition to military training during this period, Wen Jie and you instructors must strengthen the ideological education of these new reserve soldiers. "

"Yes!" The instructors responded in unison.

Wang Leihu smiled and said: "Head, is this a bit too strict? I'm afraid these people are not determined enough, and not many people can persevere."

Kong Jie said solemnly: "If they can't persist, it proves that they don't even have the basic willpower of soldiers, what do I want them to do?
True gold is not afraid of being tempered by fire. Our independent regiment wants to grow stronger, but what I want is elite soldiers, and what I want is the unity of our independent regiment.

If it's just purely pulling people together to gather troops, what's the difference between this and the national army of forced conscription and pulling strong men?
I hope everyone will keep this in mind. "

"Yes!"

The cadres responded one after another, listening to the head of the group's speech, everyone can always benefit a lot.

Kong Jie changed the subject and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I set up such a test for these puppet soldiers who chose to stay, just to hone their will."

"But everyone, don't wear colored glasses, don't isolate these soldiers, think that they were puppet soldiers, traitors or something before, and take care of them as our own comrades recruits. You should be serious in training, and you should be serious in daily life. Take care of those who should be close, and there must be no less."

"The headquarters means streamlined troops and simplified administration. What do you mean by elite soldiers? It means that the main force and its command organization should be reduced, the company should be enriched, the local armed forces should be strengthened, the militia should be developed, training should be strengthened, and combat effectiveness should be improved."

"In terms of administrative simplification, it is required to effectively rectify political organizations at all levels, tighten institutions and staffing, strengthen grassroots, improve efficiency, save manpower and material resources, and oppose bureaucracy."

"As for the main reason for doing this, on the one hand, it is to ensure the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the combat troops, to promote better integration and connection between us and the people, and more importantly, to reduce the economic burden on the base areas."

"Because the affordability of the people in the base area is limited, we have too many troops, how can the people provide food, drink and lax for so many of our troops? Don't they become blood-sucking bugs?"

"But we don't have to think about this in the independent group. Why? Because our independent group is self-sufficient, and can even help the surrounding villagers in turn!"

"Look, when the other regiments are tightening their belts and even have to downsize and downsize their troops, our independent regiment will continue to grow and develop. This is called wide accumulation of grain, slowly becoming king, and we will not be afraid if we have food in our pockets."... …
