The father of the sword is Kong Jie

With the cadres at all levels visiting, exchanging and studying in the 28th regiment, the event came to an end.

Under the help of Shi Dahu, the independent regiment successfully contacted the Eighth Route Army units in central and southern Hebei, and began to carry out comprehensive military, economic, and cultural cooperation between the two sides.

A team command.

Kong Jie, who was smoking a team of cigarettes made by a cigarette factory, held the cigarette in his left hand, and tapped rhythmically with the two fingers of his right hand on the wooden table in front of the kang. Happening:
The overall situation of the Taihang and Taiyue base areas has basically been decided.

There won't be much change anytime soon.

The economic development boom centered on the Independence Corps and the military training competition are still in full swing.

The economic and military construction of the Eighth Route Infantry units in the Taihang and Taiyue base areas has achieved considerable development.

Originally, in order to completely smash the cage policy of the Japanese army to blockade the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, the Hundred Regiments Campaign organized by the Eighth Route Army was launched.

Due to the lack of artillery for the Eighth Route Army, the amount of ammunition consumed was far greater than the amount seized in order to deal with the devil's artillery strongholds during the raid.

As a result, the entire Hundred Regiments War was fought, although the combat mission of attacking the Zhengtai Railway, the main railway line of the Japanese army, was successfully completed.

However, the units of the Eighth Route Army also consumed a large amount of stored ammunition as a result, and the logistics could not be supplied in time, which made the original lack of ammunition for the Eighth Route Army units even more severe.

In this battle, more than a hundred regiments were invested at one time, which also completely exposed the strength of the Eighth Route Army.

It aroused the common fear of both the Japanese army and the national army.

The Japanese army further strengthened the blockade of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and continued to carry out large-scale raids and retaliations.

The national army has also completely cut off the military salary supply of the Eighth Route Army troops, and the military has gradually shifted from the original mutual assistance on the open side to the secret precautions.

The Battle of Zhongtiaoshan broke out, and the Central Army was humiliated and defeated. After withdrawing from the area north of the Yellow River.

The burden of containing the main force of the Japanese army in North China basically fell entirely on the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Coupled with the fact that the disaster has become more and more serious after the year, it is really natural disasters and military disasters.

From [-] to [-], the Eighth Route Army troops ushered in the most difficult period.

In the end, it was Kong Jie, a little butterfly, who instigated some special effects.

Right now, the Eighth Route Army troops surrounding the Independence Regiment are rapidly developing in close cooperation with the Independence Regiment in military and economic aspects.

Most intuitively speaking, the original ammunition reserves of each regiment had already returned to the level before the Hundred Regiments War.

There are many main forces that even exceed this level.

This is where Kong Jie is most proud of.

He suddenly thought of Kazuki Yamamoto who had gone to see Emperor Devil for a long time.

The old devil of Yamamoto once said a famous saying: Small people can also change big history.

Now Kong Jie has initially achieved it.

What he knows better is how difficult this journey is.

"Right now, the base areas are investing in large-scale production campaigns in advance, local rents and interest rates have been reduced, troops have been strengthened in training, and the administration has been streamlined, coupled with economic construction, to reserve abundant supplies for the troops in advance.

The regiments of the Central Hebei and Southern Hebei Military Regions will soon embark on the development path of our independent regiment through the visits, exchanges and learning in the 28th regiment.

According to the timeline, the May [-]st sweep launched by the devils next year should not change.

There is still more than half a year to go. With these sufficient preparations, until the May Day sweepings officially kick off, I think the Eighth Route Army troops will not be too passive this time. "

In the empty room, Kong Jie continued to knock on the wooden table, and spoke slowly, talking to himself.

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff who happened to open the curtain and entered the room, heard the voice and asked with a smile, "Old Kong, what are you muttering about?"

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Oh, I was thinking, right now our Taihang and Taiyue bases are on the right track of development, and Hebei and Hebei are also gradually approaching us.

The rest is the battle situation in Zhongtiaoshan, and I don't know how Han Feng and Wang Huaibao are opening up the base area. "

"It's difficult!" Xu Guoan shook his head with some emotion.

"The terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain is peculiar, narrow and long, and lacks strategic depth. In fact, it is not an ideal guerrilla zone. Compared with our Taihang Taiyue base area, the combat environment of Zhongtiao Mountain is much more severe."

"In addition, we didn't have many teams in the past, there was only one independent fourth regiment, and the Japanese army stationed in southern Shanxi had at least more than one division's strength."

"The strength difference between the two sides is too great."

"The Jinsui army is west of the Yellow River, and they only want to protect themselves. It's good if they don't flirt with the little devils. The Central Army has already retreated to the south of the Yellow River, and has no aggressive intentions. Neither side can count on it. "

"Wang Huaibao and Han Feng are pretty good at preserving the vitality of the Fourth Independent Regiment. It is really not easy to open up the Zhongtiaoshan Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Base under the eyes of the devils."

"So, I have to find a way to further strengthen the strength of the Fourth Regiment." Kong Jie said suddenly, vowing.

Xu Guoan froze for a moment, not understanding what Kong Jie meant.

Strengthen the strength of the Independent Fourth Regiment?
How to enhance it?

"Old Kong, are you going to send another army into Zhongtiao Mountain?" Xu Guoan asked tentatively.

Kong Jie smiled and shook his head, "The Taihang base area, which has been streamlined and streamlined, also needs troops to garrison.

In addition, the little devil has been watching every move of our independent group, and the two master groups of the devil directly strangled our passage to the south of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Right now, our focus is on dealing with the disaster. It would not be wise to send troops south to Zhongtiao Mountain.

Moreover, due to the terrain constraints of Zhongtiao Mountain, it is not appropriate to invest too many troops.

Even if there are a few thousand more troops, I don't think there will be much difference between the two master regiments of the devil. "

"Then you are going to let the Independent Fourth Regiment continue to expand its army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area and increase the strength of the team." Xu Guoan asked again.

Kong Jie still shook his head: "Most Zhongtiao Mountain is mountainous, the land is barren, and there is not much arable land, and the population base is far inferior to our Taihang and Taiyue base areas.

Once the troops are increased, the overall combat effectiveness may not be improved much, and the pressure of logistics can even drag down our team directly. "

When he arrived in front of Kong Jie, Xu Guoan, who always felt that his brain was not enough, asked directly: "Old Kong, don't be fooled. I have guessed for a long time, but I still can't figure it out on time. What you said is to improve independence. The strength of the four regiments, what method should we use?"

Kong Jie, who had whetted Xu Guoan's appetite, said slowly, "It's very simple, further enhance the equipment level of the Fourth Regiment."

"Further enhance the equipment level of the fourth regiment? How else can it be enhanced?"

Xu Guoan was dumbfounded. As far as he knew, the equipment level of the Fourth Independent Regiment was no worse than that of the most elite combat troops of the Independent Regiment.

In particular, the unit led by Han Feng who first entered Zhongtiao Mountain and carried out guerrilla operations was almost entirely equipped with American equipment, using Garand semi-automatic rifles, Browning heavy machine guns, and M2 60mm mortars. .

In this regard, Kong Jie has spent a lot of money.

Otherwise, Han Feng and his team would not be able to disturb the little devils in Zhongtiao Mountain with such a disparity in strength.

Faced with Xu Guoan's doubts, Kong Jie did not explain directly, but said with a smile:

"How about turning the entire four regiments into an all-round beauty regiment?"

"The American Armor Corps!!!" Xu Guoan was stunned, "Old Kong, you really dare to think that the Central Army spent a lot of effort to create a few German Armor Divisions, but in the result, they were basically involved in the Battle of Songhu .”

"On the condition of our Eighth Route Army, do you still want to form a US weapon regiment?"

"Where are you going to get your equipment?"

Kong Jie said: "Old Xu, we have an old American friend who is a big arms dealer."

Xu Guoan suddenly said: "You mean that John!"

When it comes to Yankees, Xu Guoan is not angry at all.

"What good things can these Yankees do? Relying on the superior geographical location and being far away from the battlefield, it's okay if they don't help in the anti-aggression operations of many countries. They also sell weapons between the warring countries and make money back and forth. That's a bad idea." It's fun.

Sometimes think about it, this invader is hateful.The bastards who take advantage of the fire to loot and make war money are even more hateful.

The oil that the U.S. military supplies to the little devil in large quantities has helped the devil a lot. From this point of view, it can be regarded as the little devil's accomplice. "

"Although I don't know this John, can this Yankee give you a regiment of American equipment for no reason?

I'm afraid this is unlikely, right?

If you buy it with money, how much does this group's beautiful equipment cost?The background of our entire independent group combined, I'm afraid we can't afford this price. "

Looking at Xu Guoan who was filled with righteous indignation, Kong Jie felt the true nature of this revolutionary martyr who clearly hated him.

These tough men are so pure, lovely and kind.

He said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks.

Yankees are hateful, but luckily they may not be as smart as us Chinese.

Old Xu, I'm here to brag to you. Believe it or not, I can fool him with the beauty equipment of this regiment without spending a dime? "

Xu Guoan remained silent.

He suddenly thought of Captain Kong's big trick skills.

Thinking about it carefully, these Yankees might be all one-sided, and they could really be limped by Kong Jie.

……

……

Still the old place.

Yangquan Fengxianju.

Kong Jie, dressed up a little, took Duan Peng, who was acting as a temporary bodyguard, to enter Yangquan County smoothly, and met American businessman John again in the private room on the third floor of Fengxianju.

This time we met a lot, the two of them looked like old friends, without the pleasantries, after a while, we went straight to the topic.

When Kong Jie met John, he always used the pseudonym Xu Zijie.

Kong Jie took the initiative to invite this meeting to pass on the past news to John.

And John, who has seen too many miracles in Kong Jie, is also full of expectations for the rare meeting that Kong Jie invited himself to.

"Xu, I don't know what is the important thing you invited me to meet this time?"

Kong Jie did not directly express his intention, but changed the subject and asked, "John, how is your fried chicken business going?"

"Oh my god, Xu, when you ask this, I just want to say that you are simply a genius, a creator of miracles!"

John said with emotion: "I used your recipe to develop what you call fried chicken, and the delicious taste is unforgettable.

For the specific business, I have arranged for some domestic catering companies to do it, and the recipe has also been sent back.

According to the initial reaction, the unique taste of fried chicken made with your recipe has been well received by the public.

Not long after the fried chicken shop opened, there was an endless stream of daily customers and second-time buyers. They formed a long queue at the door of the store, and even waited for an hour or two willingly, just to be able to buy Fried chicken together.

Xu, to tell you the truth, I'm already thinking about expanding the fried chicken branch. Just like you predicted, maybe one day, John's fried chicken, a catering brand, will really be popular all over the world! "

Speaking of which, John even made a joke:

"Xu, what you said before is really good. Instead of selling arms and risking money, I might as well concentrate on running my John's Fried Chicken. This is the real way to get rich!"

Kong Jie laughed and said, "That being said, if you have money but don't make money, are you still a businessman?

Fried chicken is a small business with small profits but quick turnover. To get a greater effect, it needs long-term accumulation.

Sister Kuang, if you want to open this fried chicken shop to your whole country or even the whole world, it will definitely cost you money.

As for the arms business, this is a hugely profitable industry.

John, you don't even want such a large fortune, do you? "

John heard the meaning of Kong Jie's words, and his face was full of expectation: "Xu, have you found any business opportunities?"

"As expected of a confidant, you, John, know me best!"

"Tell me, Xu, what kind of business opportunity is it?" John asked eagerly with his eyes shining.

Kong Jie leaned into John's ear and said in a low voice, "Great business opportunity, prepare the arms to predict the situation in advance."

"What the hell does that mean?" John asked confused.

Kong Jie sat up straight again and said, "For us arms dealers, the biggest business opportunity is to find the biggest buyer.

John, if you can predict the needs of your US military and produce large quantities of equipment in advance.

At that time, once the battle starts, you can even go to the forefront of all arms dealers. "

"So, Xu, you still think it is inevitable for my country to go to war with the Japanese army?" John asked.

"Isn't it?" Kong Jie asked back.

"As far as I know, your government may have noticed something in advance and secretly conveyed some news to you. Many American businessmen in the concession have already disposed of their factories in China at low prices to prepare for their return home.

The situation in the United States and Japan could not be more obvious.

With the continuation of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan, which is short of resources, has already set its sights on the Southeast Asian countries that are rich in resources but weak in military strength.

Once the Japanese army advances to Southeast Asia, it will inevitably damage your US interests in Southeast Asia.

Once the interests of the United States are hindered, it is bound to take the lead in imposing trade sanctions on Japan. This is almost an inevitable trend of historical evolution.

Am I correct in my analysis? "

As a multinational arms dealer, John naturally has this knowledge, and he nodded in agreement: "Xu, you are right."

Kong Jie continued: "The Japanese army has already gone crazy in order to win this war. Once you and the United States impose sanctions on the Japanese army in terms of trade, you will definitely cut off the most important oil supply for the Japanese army.

As a result, the friction has intensified. Do you think that since the Japanese army attacked us in China and coveted Southeast Asian countries, would they care about offending you and the United States?

The unavoidable war between the United States and Japan can be expected from this. "

After hearing this, John was silent for a long time.

He is an arms dealer, but even a profit-seeking businessman will inevitably feel a little more worried when the flames of war affect his motherland.

Just when Kong Jie thought that John was worried about the fate of his motherland.

John, who was frowning tightly, suddenly cursed: "Damn, these damn Japanese, wouldn't it be good to fight their war honestly?
Once our country goes to war with the Japanese army, won't all my business in the concession be ruined? "

Kong Jie: "..."

This Nima is really a typical representative of patriotism!

God logic!
