The father of the sword is Kong Jie

At the beginning, when the first team was still an independent group, Kong Jie deliberately trained the ability of cadres at all levels to take charge of their own affairs and overall command.

But this kind of opportunity to hone one's abilities cannot often be found in actual combat.

Therefore, Kong Jie put this opportunity to hone the commanding ability of the cadres on the military sand table confrontation drill.

Cadres at all levels of a team are no strangers to this.

This has even become an old tradition of the entire team.

It wasn't just Kong Jie who did this. The regiment leaders below, including the battalion commanders, also used this method to temper the cadres when they were in the battalion headquarters.

And according to Shen Quan, Wang Leihu, Lei Dasheng and other regiment leaders' understanding of the old regiment leader Kong Jie, every time the military sand table confrontation is definitely not random, it will always indicate the battle situation that everyone will face in the near future .

For this reason, several group leaders even nicknamed Kong Jie in private—the Prophet!
This time I heard that Kong Jie called the regiment leaders and political commissars to the detachment staff to conduct military sand table exercises.

Wang Leihu and other group leaders all came here full of interest.

Looking at the military simulation sand table that the detachment's staff department has built.

For the next steps, for Shen Quan and the other group leaders, they have already learned by heart.

"Hey, old regiment leader, let's follow the old rules and determine the identities of the opposing sides first. Of course, the identities of the enemy and us are obvious. One is a little devil, and the other must be our Eighth Route Army."

When the regiment leaders and political commissars arrived, Kong Jie didn't make any opening remarks, and directly talked about the military simulation sand table, calling everyone to join in the simulated confrontation in front of them.

Lei Dasheng, acting head of the first group, spoke first.

Then, he quickly added: "Old Shen, Lei Hu, some things have been said in advance, I am not a little devil!"

Wang Leihu, the head of the Second Regiment, said happily, "If you don't want to be a devil together, will we be happy to be devils?"

"Then I don't care, anyway, I can't learn how insidious the little devil is." Lei Dasheng shook his head.

Kong Jie said: "If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

You have always stayed in the identity of the Eighth Route Army and realistically simulated the Japanese army. In fact, it will have the greatest effect on improving your command ability.

Are you still not happy?
Okay, then let Shen Quan do this good deed!This time, Shen Quan simulated the Japanese army. "

Although what Kong Jie said was nice, it was only when he saw the strange eyes of the two old comrades Lei Dasheng and Wang Leihu beside him.

Shen Quan was not happy on the spot: "Old commander, the previous few military confrontation exercises were the little devil I was, why do you still make me a devil?"

Before Kong Jie opened his mouth, Wang Leihu said happily, "Old Shen, this little devil is insidious and cunning, and you are the most cunning kid among us. If you are not a devil, who will be a devil?"

Shen Quan: "..."

It's just that there seems to be nothing wrong with what he said.

In this regard, Shen Quan can only refute one sentence: "Lei Hu, I don't agree with what you said. Haven't you found out yet? It seems that I am the most cunning person on the surface, but in fact he is still in the middle." What about the mountain!"

Well, Wang Huaibao, the head of the Fourth Independent Regiment who is still fighting against the Japanese in Zhongtiao Mountain, was shot while lying down!
Seeing that the group leaders did not intend to end the topic, Kong Jie immediately interrupted: "It's all right, don't talk nonsense, let's get to the point quickly, that's it, Shen Quan, this time the Japanese army is still simulated by you. "

Jian Kong Jie made up his mind, Shen Quan had no choice but to nod his head helplessly, and then said: "Be a devil, be a devil!
But, old leader, at the very least, you have to find Yoshio Shinozuka for me, right?
There's no point in making small fuss! "

Kong Jie said: "What is Shinozuka Yoshio?
This time, let you simulate the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in North China Neiji Okamura, and command the entire Japanese army in North China. The number of Japanese troops that can be mobilized is no less than 10. "

As soon as these words came out, Shen Quan's eyes lit up, originally because he was asked to imitate the somewhat depressed mood of the Japanese army, it immediately turned from cloudy to sunny.

"Haha, old captain, let's talk about it!"

It seems that after a sudden change, Shen Quan, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China, straightened his face, and then said loudly to Wang Leihu and Lei: "Ningji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China, is here. Little Balu, just let go and come here!"

This military sand table exercise confrontation officially kicked off...

And then, the eyes of the cadres focused on the military simulation sand table made by the staff department in front of them, and several regiment leaders immediately discovered the problem.

Shen Quan spoke first: "Huh?

Old captain, is something wrong with this situation?
Is the area simulated by this sand table too big?

Here I see our team, as well as the Taihang and Taiyue base areas, and further north is the Jizhong base area.

This small sand table can include all of our three bases at once. "

Kong Jie laughed and said, "Why do you think you should be Neiji Okamura?"

After thinking about it, Shen Quan felt relieved, "That's true!"

Next, it is necessary to determine the candidate who represents the Supreme Commander of the Eighth Route Army this time.

Kong Jie finally set his sights on Wang Leihu, the head of the second regiment.

Wang Leihu straightened up immediately, and responded: "Please rest assured, the detachment leader, I promise to complete the task and fight this war of resistance against Japan!"

After the exercise confrontation officially started.

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan strode forward and said loudly: "You probably don't know the specific situation of our simulated confrontation. Let me briefly introduce it to you first."

As he said that, Xu Guoan pointed to the terrain on the simulated sand table with the teaching stick in his hand, and introduced in the conversion:

"The Taihang base is the largest base of our Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, and it is also the headquarters of our Eighth Route Army. It can almost be said to be the most solid backing for our Eighth Route Army.

This is the target that the Japanese army in North China, represented by Neiji Okamura, has always wanted to eradicate.

Especially after we opened up the Taiyue base area, the Taihang and Taiyue base areas are connected together, which makes the little devil even more troublesome.

It is no longer a day or two for the devils to eradicate my Taihang Taiyue base. "

His teaching stick then pointed to the sand table, which represented the area of ​​the Jizhong Military Region: "The Jizhong Military Region has fertile and vast arable land, dense population, and dense farmland. It has always been known as the holy place for the granary of our Eighth Route Army.

The little devil has always regarded the Jizhong Military Region as the military depot and logistics center of our Eighth Route Army.

This Jizhong Military Region has long been a confidant of the little devil who wants to get rid of it quickly.

So what we are simulating this time is that the Japanese army will launch an unprecedented sweep against our Taihang base area and the Jizhong military region at the same time, and even sweep across the entire North China! "

"This sweep will be conducted with Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Dispatch Force simulated by Shen Quan, as the supreme commander.

Aiming at Taihang Taiyue and even the base areas in central Jizhong, plan this big sweep. "

"Chief of staff, what about me? What identity do you represent now?" Wang Leihu, the head of the second regiment, asked expectantly.

"The leader of the first independent anti-Japanese detachment in Northwest Shanxi." Kong Jie on the side said.

Wang Leihu choked on the spot, unable to speak, and his expression was a little funny.

Kong Jie stared and scolded with a smile: "Why, do you dislike the small position? Are you dissatisfied?"

"That's not it!"

Seeing his old head's eyes rounded, Wang Leihu quickly shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Old head, the main thing is that he didn't wait!
You said that Lao Shen represents Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army in North China.

When it comes to me, why does it just represent the captain of our team? "

Kong Jie said: "Nonsense, the ultimate purpose of our military sand table simulation confrontation is to guard against similar real wars that may start at any time in the future in the advance rehearsal.

In the future, if the devils really set off such a big raid, no matter it is directed by Okamura Neiji or Shinozuka Yoshio.

Those of us who command can only be our team.

All we have to consider is how our team should prepare and fight when dealing with such a big sweep.

Why, you kid still want to represent the boss and command all the troops of our Eighth Route Army? "

"Then I dare not!" Wang Leihu smiled instantly relieved, "Hey, old leader, then I won't be polite."

Kong Jie said: "Don't be polite. From now on, this simulated confrontation exercise will officially start. Our entire team, including me, will accept your dispatch from now on."

"That's a good relationship, ahem—"

As Wang Leihu said, he adjusted his collar in a decent manner and cleared his throat.

Shen Quan, representing Neiji Okamura, spoke at this time:

"We are now Neiji Okamura, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Army's North China Expedition!"

As he said, he pointed to the Jizhong Military Region on the sand table, and then pointed to the base of a team in the Taihang Base Area, "These two places, one is the Jizhong Military Region, the military depot and logistics granary of your Eighth Route Army.

Another place, this Eighth Route Army detachment, is the gateway to your Taihang base of the Eighth Route Army, and it can also be called the granary and economic center of the Taihang base.

These two places are of extremely high military value to your Eighth Route Army troops.

I, Okamura, naturally have to find a way to destroy these two granary bases of your Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. "

As he said that, it seemed that Shen Quan, who was completely involved in the drama, really brought a bit of insidiousness and cunning of the devil's commander-in-chief Neiji Okamura.

He said slowly: "I, Okamura, am a very sinister, cunning, cautious, low-key, and brutal guy.

This battle against the two major granary bases of the Eighth Route Army is of great importance, and it will affect the whole body. If I am not fully prepared, I will never do it lightly!

As early as 41, I formulated a gradual encroachment plan and mopping up plan for your Eighth Route Army's operations in the Jizhong base area and Taihang Taiyue base area.

So far, in the Jizhong area, our Japanese army has built a large number of advanced strongholds, no less than a thousand. In addition, in conjunction with the blockade of railway lines and highway lines, the communication between your base areas in Jizhong is constantly divided.

These measures and preparations can provide an important boost to our Japanese army's sweep once the battle breaks out.

In addition, I want to attack your Jizhong, and there is another team, so naturally I can't let you know in advance..."

Shen Quan, who was brought into the role, quickly thought about what he would do if he was really Neiji Okamura and had to deal with the Jizhong base and a team.

After a while, Shen Quan came up with an idea: "In order to paralyze the judgment of your Eighth Route Army, I will continue to carry out public security measures to strengthen public security and stability in the major counties, towns and towns around your base areas in the occupied areas.

On the one hand, continue to build a large number of forward strongholds, and continue to extend the partition trenches on both sides of the cover railway and the main traffic road.

At the same time, our Japanese army will build a blockade line consisting of stone walls and blockhouses along the foot of the mountain in the west of Jinghan Road to cut off the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army in West Hebei and East Hebei to the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei.

Because my goal is the Jizhong Military Region, naturally I also have to consider the issue of reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army in other base areas.

All of this will be done in secret, just like boiling frogs in warm water. After a sudden outbreak of a big mopping up, you Eighth Route Army will definitely be caught off guard.

In addition, I know that your Eighth Route Army will form militia units in some villages to deal with our Japanese army.

For the same reason, I, Okamura, will also set up some organizations similar to your militia in a large number of villages in the occupied area. Of course, they belong to the self-defense regiment of our Japanese army.

The quality requirements of these self-defense regiments do not need to be too high, and they are not the main force used to deal with your Eighth Route Army.

As long as it can be used to deal with the militia units of your Eighth Route Army, this is enough.

This is enough to make your Eighth Route Army's anti-mopping up encounter great obstacles when it spreads to the vast countryside..."

At this time, as Shen Quan, who represented Ningji Gangmura, continued to speak, the original ease was gradually replaced by solemnity on the faces of the other regiment leaders and political commissars.

As a veteran of the former independent regiment, Shen Quan is actually a very knowledgeable and thoughtful general.

At this moment, the deployment of the Japanese army he described is not nonsense, on the contrary, it is completely based on the enemy's situation in the Jizhong area.

These situations were explained in the course of the analysis of the battle situation in each base area held by Kong Jie in the first team.

So everyone is very clear that what Shen Quan said is definitely something that a little devil can do.

In the silence of the generals, Shen Quan continued to speak: "That's not all, what I said above is only one or two tenths of the means prepared by our Japanese army!

...Using the spies who have secretly planted in your Jizhong base all these years ago...Let the Ministry of Communications decipher the radio code of your Jizhong Military Region in advance...Including all aspects of your Jizhong base that our Japanese army has collected a lot in the past two years intelligence...

This is enough for me to carefully formulate the most suitable combat plan for all aspects of this sweep.

In addition, once this big sweep is launched, in addition to the strategy against your Eighth Route Army troops, I also have the means to target the common people in the Jizhong base area.

Looting, suppression by force, or even massacre, no matter how cruel or ruthless these methods are, as long as they can be used against your Eighth Route Army, we little devils will use them!

There is only one ultimate goal. Our Japanese army will destroy the main combat troops in your Jizhong base in one fell swoop, and at the same time completely destroy the agricultural foundation, economic foundation, etc. of your entire Jizhong base, and completely destroy the so-called The military depots and logistics centers..."

In the entire conference room, only Shen Quan's voice was left echoing at this moment.

The cadres know better than anyone else.

At this moment, Shen Quan represented the means mentioned by Neiji Okamura, and they certainly would not be all the means used by the little devil.

Once the devils set off such a big sweep, their methods will definitely be more sinister and ruthless.

However, even the insidious means of the Japanese army that Shen Quan could guess had completely silenced all the regiment leaders and political commissars present...
