Chapter 846 Old Li, we are here to bring you benefits!
845 Old Li, We're Bringing You Benefits!
Winter counterattack...

As soon as this word was uttered, it seemed to have great magic power, which firmly attracted Xu Guoan and Li Wenjie.

"Yeah, we have been fighting with little devils for a long time, most of them are being beaten passively, and the devils sweep over from time to time, so we can only be forced to fight guerrilla warfare or move to counter-mopping.

When can you really launch a counterattack with wealth, that will be a joy! "

The words "winter counterattack" can be said to be on Xu Guoan's heart, and he couldn't help but say it.

Political commissar Li Wenjie also strongly agreed: "According to what you said, head of the regiment, if you only target some remote villages and towns by the Japanese army, this is indeed feasible."

"Haha, Wen Jie, then report to the superior in detail..."

"Please don't worry, head, this matter is on me!"

Kong Jie burst into laughter immediately: "What I'm waiting for is your words."

With Li Wenjie reporting this matter to his superiors, and the fact that this matter is indeed reasonable, and the opportunity to fight is even more rare, the brigade commander and the boss would not refuse it.

Then, Kong Jie changed the subject, and mentioned Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, who are also members of the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi.

Looking at Captain Kong who seemed to have a serious face, Xu Lun questioned this, "I am Lao Kong, this doesn't seem like your personality!

You have always made a lot of money in silence, why do you have to drag Lao Ding and Lao Li this time? "

"Old Xu, what are you talking about, who doesn't know that I, Lao Kong, is a real person?
It is also the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, and the defense areas of our three regiments are not far away. This is a chance to make a fortune. Can I forget my old comrades? When Kong Jie heard this, he was not happy, and retorted solemnly.

Xu Guoan kept silent knowingly, thinking that if I hadn't come to a team, I might still have believed your old Kong's nonsense.

As for now... just two words - nonsense!
"Hey, Lao Li, I'm Kong Jie, and we're here to bring you benefits!
...That's right, that's what happened, the counterattack in winter, and now our situation against the enemy has improved a lot, wouldn't it be a pity if we didn't take advantage of the winter to deal with him ruthlessly this time?

...good thing!Of course it is a good thing, definitely a good thing!Otherwise, can I find you, Lao Li?
Lao Li, your new second regiment is developing well, but to be honest, the base area is really small. If you don’t take this opportunity to expand outward, how can you fully develop your new second regiment? "

Snapped!
After hanging up the phone, Kong Jie smiled quietly.

On the other end of the phone, Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles, and Zhao Gang, the political commissar beside him, smiled and asked, "Old Li, what's the matter? Look at you!"

Li Yunlong laughed, and replied: "It's a great thing, it's time for our new second regiment to feel proud."

Then, Li Yunlong confessed to Zhao Gang what he had discussed with Kong Jie.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang was also filled with emotion, "So far, our Eighth Route Army troops, not to mention taking down Japanese county towns, even attack Japanese county towns, are quite rare.

If this major counter-offensive really goes well, and even some remote villages and towns of the Japanese army can be taken down, this will indeed be of great significance for boosting the morale of the anti-Japanese army. "

Li Yunlong said: "I don't care what's the point of him, the key is his mother's pleasure. We have been fighting with the little devil for so many years, and this time we can finally take the initiative to attack!"

On the other side, after Ding Wei took Kong Jie's call, he also had a happy expression on his face.

He directly pointed out in the military meeting immediately held by the Xinyi Regiment:

"This winter counter-offensive may not be large in scale, but it has important progressive significance for our Eighth Route Army's phased operations against Japan.

This even means that our Eighth Route Army's operations against the Japanese army have gone from strategic defense, strategic stalemate, to partial strategic counter-offensive! "

Then he sighed with emotion: "It's really slow step by step, Lao Kong thinks of us again!"

He Wenqing, the political commissar on the side, is also a character who dares to fight for the first place. He said with a smile: "This time, we will fight in front of his team!"

"That's right, that's the way it should be. You can't just let Lao Kong show off everywhere, right?"

Amidst the laughter, Ding Wei directly unfolded the combat map of his new regiment's defense zone and its surrounding areas, and studied the combat deployment of this winter counterattack with the military cadres on the map.

A team command.

After hanging up the phone with Ding Wei, Kong Jie took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. As the smoke rose, the overall situation of the winter counterattack seemed to come to mind.

A huge and detailed military combat map is hung on the large flat wall facing west of the General Staff Headquarters.

Today, the staff department of a team has begun to take shape, and the layout of the whole room is even more decent. In addition to the chief of staff Xu Guoan, the entire staff department has a dozen other staff officers, large and small.

It is no longer the independent group that was strong and weak.

In Kong Jie's words:

Even if it's a fart, how should you fart? Now there are more than a dozen consultants who can give you advice, maybe they can prepare more than a dozen plans for you in a row!
Kong Jie, holding a teaching stick in his hand, pointed on the battle map, and confided his views on the battle to the staff:
"With the development of these years, the area of ​​our entire base area is now considered vast, and the shape of the overall base area is roughly northwest-southeast. Speaking of it, it is quite similar to the terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain.

We are backed by Taihang, and to the west is Li Yunlong's new second regiment.

To the southeast is Ding Wei's new regiment.

According to the relatively long and narrow terrain of our team's base area, the front we can draw in the horizontal direction is quite long.

The front of the horizontal advance mainly faced the three major counties of the Japanese army, Shouyang, Yangquan and Tanxian.

According to this battle plan, our focus of this winter counterattack is not to attack the devil's county and some important towns and villages, but mainly to some remote villages, towns, and townships.

There is no need for comprehensive horizontal advance operations. On the contrary, it is easy to arouse the awareness of the Japanese army and start a confrontation without practical significance.

So what I mean is that this winter's big counterattack still adopts the offensive of two-wing operations, taking the lead in starting from the towns and villages in the more remote suburbs of the Japanese army.

Step by step compression, the available space of the counties in the Japanese occupation area.

The left wing can take the lead from these two points, Neixiang and Qingye Town on the border of Shouyang County, and the right wing can advance from the remote Guanping Town and Yatu Town of Tan County.

Then there are remote villages and towns such as Sanquan Township, which extends northeast of Yangquan..."

Following Kong Jie's narration, other staff officers quickly took notes, and another staff officer immediately fetched a pen and ruler, lightly traced the homework on the map, and marked out the counterattack route mentioned by Kong Jie in detail.

Looking at Kong Jie's continuation, the general outline of the big counterattack has been revealed.

Xu Guoan, the chief of staff at the side, spoke thoughtfully.

The words were amazed: "My dear, that's amazing! Old Kong, if you connect the routes you plan to attack, you can see that your appetite is not small."

Xu Guoan directly pointed out: "Follow Neixiang, Qingye Town, Sanquan Township, Yatu Town, Guanping Town and other remote villages and towns to connect them.

This is basically equivalent to drawing a layer of encirclement around Yangquan County, Shouyang County, and Tan County, the three main cities of the Japanese army. "

"Old Kong, if this layer of encirclement is formed, the little devil may not even be able to sleep comfortably!"

Kong Jie said: "Aren't we responding to the highest strategic policy of encircling the cities from the countryside? What we want is this effect. Although we are fighting the most remote villages, towns and villages where the devils' defense forces are empty, we can still defeat the main forces of the Japanese army as a whole." The county is under siege, let's see if the little devil is in a hurry or not."

Xu Guo'an said cheerfully: "The devil has made it difficult for him to sleep or eat.

In the past, although we occupied the mountainous areas of the Taihang Taiyue base area, there were also some suburban villages.

Including other border areas, the base areas are connected together, which only forms a fairly large area of ​​encirclement to the vast county towns in the sun-occupied area.

But this so-called siege, to be honest, doesn't look like a siege, but rather like we were driven to the most remote mountainous area by other little devils!
But it's different now, you old Kong has detoured his troops from the two wings in this way, once the route of this winter counterattack is successfully opened.

This is equivalent to extending the encirclement circle of villages and towns directly into the interior of the devil-occupied area, and combined with our detachment base, it is possible to completely divide and surround some of the devil's counties.

This is completely different from encircling the city from the countryside.

It is no exaggeration to say that under such a partial encirclement, if the combat situation between China and Japan reverses again, our team may besiege Shouyang, Yangquan and Tan counties at any time, and take down these three counties in one fell swoop. ! "

Speaking of this, Xu Guoan was also filled with emotion.

Old Kong is indeed a restless master, you never know what bold choice he will make next.

But every step they take seems to be bold, but it is based on reality and safety, so you have to be convinced.

According to the current development of a team, it does have the background and strength to take this step.

As for Shouyang, Yangquan includes Tan County. In terms of military value, none of these three counties is inferior to Ping'an County, nor is any of them weaker than Ping'an County.

At that time, Kong Jie led an independent regiment to conquer Ping'an County, which had already caused a shock in North China.

Even Neiji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army dispatched to North China, repeatedly told Yoshio Shinozuka on the phone that in North China, the county town would never be allowed to be attacked by the Eighth Route Armed Forces again.

The security and stability of North China cannot be challenged.

It can be seen from this that if Kong Jie directly casts a large encirclement net, and even shows his intention to take down the three major military counties of Shouyang, Yangquan, and Tan County in one fell swoop at any time.

What a strong reaction the devil will make.

Xu Guoan raised his eyes to look at Kong Jie, Kong Jie's eyes revealed obvious determination and confidence, but there was no madness.

Who can understand Kong Jie's true thoughts?

The May [-]st sweep is imminent.

Although the Japanese army set off this sweep, the main target was the Jizhong Military Region.

But the Taihang base area, including a team base area, will definitely be affected.

Kong Jie was thinking that he could make a bigger commotion, attract the attention of the Japanese army, and indirectly cover the anti-sweeping operations in the Jizhong base area.

On the one hand, he also wanted to share the pressure for the Eighth Route Army troops around the Taihang base area.

With great power comes great responsibility.

Among the troops of the Eighth Route Army, when it comes to the best development, there is nothing better than a detachment.

The entire team, whether it is the level of equipment or the overall combat effectiveness, is much higher than the regular Eighth Route Army troops.

If the Japanese army distributed the offensive forces equally among the Eighth Route Army units, one unit would naturally be able to easily defeat the opponent, but other combat units may not be able to.

However, the overall strength of a team's base area is limited compared to the general situation.

It is impossible for Kong Jie to take care of everyone, let alone take on the important task of guarding the entire Taihang base.

So the only thing he can do is to develop a larger team and build stronger troops, so that the Japanese army can focus more of their offensive on one team, thereby sharing the pressure for other troops.

……

"As for the specific way to play?"

After this question was raised, Kong Jie said: "As usual, not only must there be a military offensive, but also a political offensive.

Someone summed it up very well. A war without a political purpose is meaningless.

Therefore, our big counterattack this time is still a combination of military and political. On the surface, we will focus on military offensives, and we will also launch political offensives secretly. "

Chief of Staff Xu Guoan said deeply, "This is what it should be."

He then suggested: "Old Kong, I suggest that since we are going to launch this winter counterattack, we must make sufficient preparations in advance. For the towns and villages that can be captured, we should make plans in advance and deploy troops secretly. If you don't move, you will be dead, and if you move, you will be like thunder.

Otherwise, this battle that affects the whole body may not be as smooth as we imagined.

In addition, in terms of political offensive, on the one hand, it is to cooperate with our offensive troops to quickly stabilize the captured area.

On the other hand, our political offensive should be ahead of our military offensive, extending ahead of time to some towns and villages that we cannot advance to for the time being.

As for the specific work, it is still the old rules. I think it is almost enough to send dozens of armed forces behind enemy lines.

Help our underground comrades who have secretly infiltrated the past to form an anti-Japanese regime.

In addition, on the bright side, through secret coercion and lure, they instigated rebellion against the puppet army, constantly supervised those puppet army and traitors with red and black accounts, and established a double-faced regime.

While stabilizing the little devils, secretly infiltrate the enemy-occupied areas and develop our anti-Japanese strength until we have the strength to completely control the occupied areas. "

The chief of staff, Xu Guoan, was not for nothing, and his ability was quite outstanding, otherwise Kong Jie would not have scooped up Xu Guoan from the brigade commander.

Speak carefully.

Political commissar Li Wenjie can be described as Kong Jie's good helper in politics and life.

The chief of staff, Xu Guoan, can be described as a great strategist in the training of troops and military staff.

It's not unreasonable for them to call Kong Jie's right-hand man.

Kong Jie naturally agreed with Xu Guoan's suggestion.

"Okay, Old Xu, it seems that you have already made up your mind, and I will trouble you about the political offensive."

Xu Guoan smiled and said: "Old Kong, what are you talking about? You treat me as an outsider, don't you! Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter for you."

Kong Jie looked at Li Wenjie again, and Li Wenjie expressed his opinion on the spot: "Regimental Commander, don't look at me, I am not good at military operations.

The development and operation of the regiment, as well as the logistics supply and support for this operation, including the arrangement and rectification of the people in the occupied area, you can just leave it to me. "

Kong Jie smiled and nodded.

This kid is at least a Xiao He-level figure!
